If the idea is there already that there is a vaccin is already enough, alright later on the virus will mutate, but now when it’s contained they will keep working for new vaccines and not like when SARS was contained to stop working on it...

There are the mutations, there are the anti-vaccinists, there are careless people (always!) so I'd be also highly focused on the development of antiviral drugs designed to cure/kill this nasty little thing.

to invest in bitcoin for him in early March, which turned out to be awful timing

Yeah, I've also "bought the dip" in early March.

9264  Economy / Speculation / Re: A hard manipulation? on: March 12, 2020, 12:35:20 PM
The tx fees are high enough the scared average Joe's funds will get stuck anyway, so we are good for now  Grin
I also believe it's manipulation, but I clearly didn't expect it be at this magnitude / number of BTC involved.

the funny thing is that during the price drop there has been zero negative news about bitcoin and not just that, there has been dozens of massively positive news about it. which means it makes no sense for the price to react like this.

This sums it up nicely.

Update: after more than 2h spent scanning my system, Kaspersky Rescued Disk 18 has found nothing.
I didn't install anything by hand, and it looks like the website gisanddata[.]maps[.]arcgis[.]com also didn't. (The website itself is also seen as clean by Virustotal.)

Strange, since I've visited that website quite a big number of times.

Since people still install cracked versions of Windows (I fail to understand why), I still have my doubts on how difficult it is to mount.
But I am not that technical, so maybe I am wrong.
On the other side... there may be easier-to-be-achieved ways to steal user data if the OS is already compromised.

I'm surprised, my antivirus/firewall (COMODO), usually very eager to stop everything, didn't say anything when I've opened that page.
I'll boot soon from an antivirus stick or CD and do a full scan, will return to say if I've found anything about this AZORult.
9268  Bitcoin / Press / [2020-03-11] Intel SGX Vulnerability Discovered, Cryptocurrency Keys Threatened on: March 11, 2020, 07:25:18 PM
Yet another vulnerability of CPUs was found.

A vulnerability has reportedly been discovered in Intel’s Software Guard eXtensions (SGX) allowing passwords, encrypted keys, and other sensitive data to be siphoned from a computer’s memory.

"Attacks are not expected to target consumer computers" seems to be somewhat reassuring, although I'd not be so sure about this.


Stay safe. Keep as much funds as you can offline.
9269  Other / Meta / Re: Differing forum page formats? on: March 11, 2020, 07:15:37 PM
There's the wap formatting.
Then there's the "see as DT" if you end with ";dt"

Then.. well, it's not really formatting, still it's somewhat related: the user scripts.
There's an user script that works in Firefox and allows different formatting/layout for the pages - it could be very helpful for browsing from mobile phone, although imho it still needed improvements last time I've used it.

9270  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WHY THE BLAME ON BOUNTY HUNTERS FOR SHITCOINS? on: March 11, 2020, 07:08:48 PM
1. I don't think that "most" bounty hunters become investors if they have a choice to sell.
2. The blame on bounty hunters is sometimes unfair, since there are many speculators or even the teams who sell too much too early and then abandon the project. But there's also a big real blame on bounty hunters because they don't check thoroughly the projects they are working for, creating hype for worthless projects which will pay them in tokens which they'll never be able to sell (i.e. working for free) and also convincing other foolish "investors" buy into the ICOs of shitcoins / shit tokens.
9271  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Hardware wallet ledger with ledger live on: March 11, 2020, 11:43:07 AM
So in case ledger company doesn't exist in the world, i still have seed phase to try software wallet one by one. Thank you for your help

Not "one by one". All HD wallets should be fine. And most wallets are nowadays HD.
And there are also tools like https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ where you can get from your seed a list of addresses and private keys, which are compatible with all wallets.


Of course, any tool you use you have to make sure you use it securely and probably offline to not risk losing your funds.
9272  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Hardware wallet ledger with ledger live on: March 11, 2020, 11:23:06 AM
I use ledger to store my bitcoin. What if the ledger company bankruptcy and shutdown the company. Can my bitcoin still accessable in ledger live? I assume ledger live need a server to work correctly.

I am not convinced it will work with Ledger Live, but as long as you have your 24 word seed there surely will be wallets that will accept the seed and you'll be able to spend your coins.
One such wallet is Electrum.
So don't worry.
9273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does anyone pay for slandering gambling websites on Bitcointalk? on: March 11, 2020, 10:50:15 AM
Yes,,, this is quite normal practice even in normal business. I see sometimes accounts not just on this forum but on local forums in my country. You can see them on Expedia sometimes for example, a sudden army of people giving ridiculously bad reviews and checking all their history it is no proof, no pics, just words.

We have shills and we have trolls.

It's called nowadays guerrilla marketing. Praise "your" product, thrash the competition, on all online channels possible. Some do it in a subtle way, some do it blatantly and without any support or proof.
I guess that some are better or worse qualified for such jobs  Cheesy

And yes, there are shills and tolls doing the job for pennies, for free or for their own amusement.

There are a huge variety of humans, from smart, nice and common sense ones to blatant idiots. You know that. Don't let the scourges affect your overall feelings, you are better than that.
9275  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Huawei without Google on: March 11, 2020, 10:36:13 AM
I want Huawei because I'm being told that I can't have it. Smiley

 Cheesy Cheesy LMAO  Cheesy Cheesy
So reverse psychology works great on you, you say?  Cheesy Cheesy

I think that Huawei produces great products at competitive prices, and I resent being told that I can;t use their products because I have to install a load of crappy intrusive apps that Google keeps pushing at me, and that I have to spend time trying to disable.

They probably do. But as soon as a company recognized as a brand, the prices rise. And imho Huawei makes no exception.
One good point for you is that the devices without Google Play may be a tiny bit cheaper. And if you are so keen to have Huawei... I'm sorry, my idea cannot help.  Undecided
9276  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Huawei without Google on: March 11, 2020, 09:41:43 AM
OP, if you don't want Google Play and the price is an issue, why don't you simply buy some no name smartphone from Chinese sellers (AliExpress and such) or resellers in your country? You have a good chance to find high specs phones at good prices if you research it well.

I am more typical user and I wanted Google Play, so I've bought Redmi at great price, although Xiaomi started to become a known brand.



Shortly: maybe you actually don't necessarily want Huawei.
9277  Economy / Services / Re: How to use the GokuMarket debit card? on: March 10, 2020, 09:40:40 AM
The card price and additional fees are USD 75 and USD 50, respectively.

What features does this card has so it's this expensive?
I mean, OK, the other cards also have rather big fees (especially compared to traditional cards), but those fees are paid during the usage of the cards (top up fees, monthly fee, various conversion fees and so on) and the card itself goes cheap (under 10$) or even free.
So what's the difference?


Don't take me wrong, I'm not keen to criticize, I just want to help you advertise your services better.
I do want to see more and better card services around (and cheaper too!) and I guess that you will have to do quite some work to convince people trust your business to transfer money in your direction.

9278  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] GOLD - First 100% Liquid Stablecoin Backed by Gold on: March 10, 2020, 09:26:23 AM
The listing costs around $0.5 mln.

That's super expensive. Indeed, just keep up the good work and sooner or later the major exchanges will start listing the token. I guess that this is the best way to move forward.

In the end all metals get melted. None shall survived.

You're correct: when the sun will explode, everything, including all the metals, will melt.

But before that event, no, all metals will surely not get melted. That's just not possible because
1. Not all are found/mined.
2. Some people are just sentimental about some of the metals they hold.

You are not new in the field

It doesn't matter how old or new is somebody on the field. You have to cross check the information as good as you can, no matter who answers and what's his rank, because you don't know his intentions and also anybody can make mistakes. And we talk about money here.

So... take care. Always.
