Please let me know what do you think and if there are any numbers missing that you would like to see on the dash, I will add them when I get the time.

Really? You throw in some graphics and some numbers and wait for people to send money into the wallets you are controlling?
What would stop you go away with the money?
Why you allow simple mortals use these great bots instead of just use them yourself? With such monthly gains you can get easily on huge profits.

I'm sorry. Maybe you are just kind. But this looks like a cheap scam to me.

Although my username doesn't start with crypto, if I'd be able to choose now, Crypto Fish would be a great choice.
But since 50BTC is a bit expensive for a name change, I'll stay Neurotic  Wink
9743  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This is very bad for the European crypto community! on: December 17, 2019, 07:05:42 PM
New anti-money laundering (AML) regulations are coming into force by January 10 in Europe. The rules, which address cryptocurrency companies for the first time, look set to have a large impact on the industry.

The Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (5AMLD) is set to take full effect in less than a month. It was first detailed in May last year.

It means that they're clearly in a war against decentralization.

Hmm, I forgot about this. But actually I am not convinced by the ways it will affect me.
But if I read it through I tend to believe you either want to spread FUD, either over-reacting. It's actually a positive news that crypto currencies have to be treated by the businesses in the same way as money.

We want crypto to be recognized as money, but we cry out loud when they try to put crypto under the same rules as money. Is that normal?!

Thanks for this. I needed a pinch of hope.
Although I keep telling myself:

9745  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: handling bitcoin volatility on: December 17, 2019, 06:12:21 PM
What tips do you guys have regarding protecting yourself from bitcoin sudden moves?

Invest/trade only with amounts you afford to lose.
Keep in mind that if it falls today, some other day it may rise again. Don't rush it for each and every fluctuation.
Don't be greedy, stick to the initial plan.
If you don't want to stay out of trading for long periods (until bitcoin rises again), use stop loss.
9746  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Interested in Paid feedback on my forum - https://emerging.technology on: December 17, 2019, 06:03:03 PM
what you think I should improve drop it here and let me know.

I didn't spend too much time on it, but I've found 2 rather cosmetic things:
1. That blue-ink color all around is too dark compared to the "white" area and it can become tiring.
2. If I go into the forums area (eg: Blockchain) the first link is "chat". That could use a better name, since Chat sounds like a chat box/shout box, not a forum/threads area (it also confused me at first).
9747  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Fees on: December 17, 2019, 05:54:18 PM
There is no flat fee. What you're paying depend on:

1. The network and whether it's congested or not.
2. The size of your transaction.

It may worth also mentioning that if your transaction is a withdrawal from an exchange then you'll pay a flat fee imposed by the exchange (usually bigger than a normal transaction from a proper wallet).
9748  Economy / Economics / Re: US Treasury vs European Central Bank on: December 17, 2019, 05:42:00 PM
The US is falling behind.

Thoughts?

I am not convinced by the declarations. Intentions or the lack of them means nothing really. The moment of truth is when the "product" is launched. If China will have it stable coin, if ECB will have another one, .. then yes, we can say US has fallen behind.

But now we still have nothing on that subject. (Actually we have the Petro, which is a failure.)
9749  Other / Off-topic / Re: Hacking Gone Wrong: Ryuk Ransomware decryptor damages larger files, even if you on: December 17, 2019, 05:36:01 PM
I don't think anyone is that stupid of not to have a back up so, nothing lost literally but working hours I guess.

You'd be surprised. The more important the state institution is, the better the chance the (person paid as) sysadmin doesn't know or doesn't care about backups.
I've read of hospitals and I think police departments too having difficulties in the past because of ransomware.
9750  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Solution for getting rid of clipboard malwares. on: December 17, 2019, 09:00:27 AM
and this mapping is store on Bitcoin Blockchain as a transaction

Is this different than zilliqa / unstoppable domains?
Do you have discussions with the most popular wallet providers to use this naming system? Because if not, it's all in vain.
9751  Economy / Economics / Re: WARNING: The central banks are currently manipulating the S&P 500 right now. on: December 16, 2019, 01:55:43 PM
But first, do you have any evidence?

I guess that's difficult to have an evidence for this. I thought of asking for that myself, but then I gave more thinking.
However, I am not sure where the panic is. I think that a huge majority here doesn't care about stocks. And the ones who care should know how to handle this info.
And Bitcoin price is decoupled from stock market... right?
9752  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: STOP BUYING BITCOIN NOW!!! This coin is crap on: December 16, 2019, 01:52:02 PM
I am still impressed on how eager the people are to feed the troll.

Hint: There's an ignore link, especially designed to handle the trolls.
9753  Other / Off-topic / Re: smartphone privacy oriented on: December 16, 2019, 01:18:01 PM
I am buying a new smartphone these days.
Which one do you think is better for privacy?
I prefer Android os.

Well, with Android, whether you like it or not, Google will be forcing you give up some privacy. And in time it may be more than only Google (Facebook and Dropbox may be another examples).
And I think that Apple phones are not really better privacy-wise.

Rooting device is not in my options as well, as I think security>privacy.

Then maybe using your laptop for sensitive info would be the way.
Smartphones just give too many opportunities to the "curious" ones.
And with your phone's tethering you can allow your laptop go online basically anywhere you want.

How many confirmations are equivalent* to 6 Bitcoin confirmations?

You will be surprised,  Smiley

Great list and nice image of the reality! I guess that this topic will get quoted a lot against the cheap "fast coins" rhetoric. (I did bookmark it.)

unfortunately i am out of merits to give to you.

Don't worry, posts like this have no chance to stay unmerited.
9755  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Why does Bitfinex ignore Dogecoin? on: December 16, 2019, 12:04:26 PM
One idea could be that they may consider Dogecoin a competitor for their USDT.
Dogecoin is a correct/proper coin and it's accepted almost everywhere, so it could be used for cheap withdrawals instead of their again-in-trouble USDT.
9756  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Deutsche Bank said Crypto will Replace Fiat Currencies by 2030! Really Possible? on: December 15, 2019, 07:40:32 PM
Crypto is not only Bitcoin.
Whether we like it or not, stable coins are crypto currencies too.
State issued stable coins are extremely appealing now for some entities (from states to ECB). The value decided as for fiat, the institutions can take a look freely into anybody's pocket, they can blacklist the money of wrong doers (or opponents!)... just "wonderful".
9757  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happened after UK general election on: December 15, 2019, 07:32:51 PM
1. The world is bigger than UK. PS. US - China tariffs anyone?
2. The history has shown that Bitcoin price and stocks are decoupled.

This being said, anything can happen. Don't we know that?
9758  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will you use an anonymous payment system? on: December 15, 2019, 03:17:05 PM
OP, you should know that people don't buy so much by the payment system, they buy more by the store that has the products to be bought.
So if you can get enough shops sell goods and services through your system, the users/spenders will come easily.
9759  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Is your Android Wallet secure? Most of the 37 wallets should scare you! on: December 15, 2019, 02:59:40 PM
May I pick on the "reputed publishers" there? Do you know who they are? If the publisher hides in secrecy, that on its own is a huge red flag for me.

I think that in some cases it may simply be "something missing", not "bad intentions". My choice for using the word "reputed" here was because I think that people do trust some of those wallets and the teams behind them.

and a hardware wallet still costs over $100

A hardware wallet can be bought nowadays at 65$, so although the logic is correct, the numbers are smaller (1300$ instead of 2000$ !!).

Maybe we can move the "analysis protocols" into separate documents for the more technically inclined audience?

What I meant was something like the + signs in Microsoft download pages, maybe done even smarter (I don't know if it's possible to "cascade" this feature).
9760  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Advcash | a new "anonymous" bitcoin debit card [EUR & USD] on: December 15, 2019, 02:46:25 PM
Well I must have missed something, because last time I received a payment on Wirex and changed it to Euros, I got pretty much the same rate as Bitstamp.

Just for the sake of correctness, please check again the Wirex transaction. If you exchange a certain Bitcoin amount, they charge that amount plus 1% fee.
Probably there's still a difference between AdvCash and Wirex, but let's put in all the details.
