Because of subject title I was searching on China mining decision supposed to be done mai 7, but I didn't found news about that I just red in this CoinDesk article https://www.coindesk.com/chinas-economic-planning-agency-labels-bitcoin-mining-an-undesirable-industry that mai 7 was just the end of comments The public will have until May 7 to share feedback on proposed amendments, after which the final version will be published and become effective.
However, it remains to be seen whether the revised guide, if still including such categorization of bitcoin mining in its final form, will have any impact on bitcoin mining in China, since the catalog itself serves as a general direction for future development.So I suppose final amendment publication still not done. Any one have some news in chinese ?

Yeah, having KYC documents from scammers is likely not going to work since these documents are now being sold in the black market. You can perhaps request stolen funds from exchanges to be frozen, I suppose. It would probably be a good idea to have a lawyer involved with such a business.
I agree  , with mixers and fake KYC there's only a few theft where investigation provides enough relevant information for a lawsuit and event the lawsuit have an international context (similar to counterfeit as said a lawyer I talked with) making harder the things. But i would like to try the proof of concept, and for now I need contacts with bitcoin theft victims.

This definitely seems like a good idea but it will be very hard to apply what you said especially if you are alone. I think you need a team of 4-5 people and each of you take care of different things in order to try and prove a service is really scamming people. Besides that launching a lawsuit is not free and the chances are you are most likely not going to achieve anything out of that if you can't hire the best lawyers.
You're definitively right, I fill quite alone for now on this task. private investigators and blockchain aware lawyers can contact me if they are interested on this topic.

It's a great thing that someone stood up in order to find or fight against scammers it's a unselfish work I may say and I'm happy because someone would like to sacrifice their time and effort in order to help the victim of scammers. I've been scammed by project called GIZA device: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2567602.0 I would be happy if you could take a look at this project. Thanks for the proposal, but for now I capitalized on BTC forensics tools only and ICO scams are on ETH. I forget to say in the first message that I'm looking for BTC theft victims. By the way i didn't I look a messages in the link to provides and discover ICO Check https://github.com/ico-check/ a good link to know tor ICO investors. For BTC scam, you can have look to BitcoinAbuse also. https://www.bitcoinabuse.com/. (the Proof of concept I'm working on is "after theft event" but preventive tools are even more important)

I'm working on a proof of concept, studying the feasability and business opportunity of helping bitcoin theft victims when the hacked service cannot refund the customers.
I'm trying several blockchain forensics tools and even if this first investigation step is a great challenge, I'm affraid that legal challenges is perhaps bigger.
The legal challenges are: - actions to force btc services (like exchanges) to disclose scammer/robber identity, - actions to force btc services to block funds if the service hold somes, - launching and following a lawsuit up to recover the lost funds.
For example, on MyBTGWallet scam, on investigations, I found evidences of BTC transactions up to exchanges having KYC where it's possible to ask for the robber identity disclose if a legal action is made by one or several victims. So now I need some bitcoin theft victims support to start a "disclose KYC request" to continue this proof of concept.
I'm writting this message to find victims interested in recovering their funds, on MyBTGWallet scam or on any other scams of course. I will try to find enough evidences and check if it worth to continue to the legal steps.
If your interested in this initiative please leave an answer here or PM me with a description of your loss (heist description, transaction id for the theft or amount lost and theft date)
As it's a proof of concept all comments are welcome.

one of the things that makes me very angry and disappointed with this cases of hackers is that the thieves are never found and punished. different from real life where there are many chances of thieves being found and punished. We need laws, we need governments to inspect the exchanges. we need to have responsible exchanges and there is another question: how are the people who lost their funds in the exchanges will be compensated? In most case the hacked service try to refund the customers. I think very few are covered by theft insurrance, they usually have fund reserves for that, but it's a confidential information for them. As an exchange customer I'll be very interested for contracts terms and conditions saying your fund are covered from theft up to xxxx $. For me the best thing will be law forcing exchanges or any crypto services with assets custody to cover customer funds. For example in France (and I think in all Euro zone), each bank providing accounts must cover funds up to 100 K€ per persons.

Ah merci ! J'avais confondu avec le Cypherpunk manifesto et je croyais que c'était le même texte mais je ne trouvais pas la même fin. J'avais retenue la fin du Cypherpunk manifesto parce qu'elle précisait que pour que la confidentialité soit largement répandue faut-il qu’elle fasse partie d’un contrat social. Wikipedia parle aussi d'un 3ème manifeste : le Cyberpunk Manifesto (voir https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypherpunk)

Merci Oxstone, j'ai appris pas mal de chose grace à ta traduction mais je pense qu'il manque une petite paragraphe au début de ton post pour introduire le LN Wallet pour l'utilisateur final et les LN Node on plonge direct dans le fonctionnement "sous le capot"
Par exemple le rôle d'un LN Node, leur propriétaires/administrateurs et leur motivations, reste encore obscure pour moi.

I'm studying the business opportunity and feasability of helping bitcoin theft victims when the hacked service cannot refund the customers. And this scam can be a good proof of concept example.
There's 2 main challenges: 1. investigation to track bitcoins transaction 2. legal to force btc services (like exchanges) to disclose scammer/robber identity, block funds if the service hold somes, and perform a lawsuit up to recover lost funds
On investigation challenge, I can say that some btc of this scam passed throught some well known exchanges.
Now I need some victims support to start a "disclose KYC request" to continue the proof of concept. I already contact the exchanges and based on their responses, I understand that a lawyer is needed.
I need real victims mandate to continue this proof of concept, I will not ask for money compensation, but it may have lawsuit expenses and no garantee of success. My main motivation is experience/know how and verify the business opportunity based on a % fee of recovered btc for next actions.
I would like to be in touch with several mybtgwallet scam victims, to see if it's an interesting opportunity for thems. So victims, feel free to PM me. We'll see together how to reach the right lawyer.
As it's a Proof of concept, all feedbacks are welcome.

Right, it's definitly usefull to track your cryptos, I tried Cryptocompare portfolio but it's hard to keep it up to date and I had good stats on it a few weeks only. I first used to fill an excel file with several sheets for values, adresses, graph history and after Cryptocompare experience I came back to it. And now with bear market times, I had low motivation to update it... Did any one find some desktop tool (ie not with an online account, like Microsoft Money) to keep information and track change ? it's probably possible to have updates values through some exchange API. PS : during this post writing I made some search on github and found Cryptoview https://github.com/anfederico/cryptoview but not tested

Et puis en ce qui concerne l'occasion, ça vaut le coup d'acheter des cartes qui ont peu servi ?
oui ca vaux le coup, je n'ai jamais vus un carte lacher: tu reduis la temp max depuis AfterBurner si ca deconne est c'est bon. sur les cartes usées, ce qui lqche en premier ce sont les ventilos on les change facilement et profite de ce moment pour passer un coup de souflette dans les cartes. PS: je parle des AMD, pour les Nvidia je ne sais pas

PS: bonus question : I found some website refenrencing famous bitcoin address (scam or donations) do you kown if the is a service just asying hey this bitcoin address is a bittrex address or another exchange or any service/shop accepting bitcoins ?

I'm not sure I follow you. What's a 'lost wallet'? From where would you need to work your way up the blockchain, and why? Also, have you considered that bitcoin addresses should be used only once, which is why addresses aren't usually 'known' in the sense that they would identify a person like e.g. email addresses or PGP public keys do?
Sorry I wasn't clear, instead of "lost wallet" it's better to write "an address with a lost private key" (like when an exchange is hacked and their users loses their bitcoins). I know that bitcoin addresses should be used only once but i realized that most main stream users still using the same address from their exchange.

Hi !
I'm looking for a website helping to find lost wallet bitcoins by using its spent transactions history. Like a specific bitcoin blockchain explorer focusing on debit / spend transactions only, avoiding small amounts.
After finding the last spent transactions, the service will monitor the last address where the spent coins are up to go to a known address where you can you can claims your coins.
Do you know if a service like that exist ?
Well, the truth is that I'm building something similar to learn blockchain coding, I dont want to make more work on it if it's already exist or if doesn't make interest to others.
Waiting for your replies. If the service is interesting some one telle me, I will provide the url for testing when available

scrypt pool is also down

Hi, same problem for me: empty status page with my 2 s9 from january batch both (on stratum.antpool.com, for bch). 1. I tried firmware update: problem not solved 2. Then i tried ip v4 only on my cable modem: problem not solved 3. Then i switch my pool #0 from antpool to viabtc: problem solved, after waiting a few minutes (<10?)
So my conclusion is that it's an antpool problem not a s9 miner problem.
The remaining antpool on my pool conf #1 and #2 are Dead, and when running I can now see BMminer Version 2.0.0 on the system overview page.

Hi all, I joined blockmunch pool yesterdays ! first I tests with one D3 with great results up to payout then I added the 2nd D3 near 10am : the hash rate goes up as expected, but then goes down slowly after some minutes on blockmunch side only (both D3 were >19Mhs) then its goes up again to normal hashrate near 11pm on blockmunch side (without any changes on my miners) and it goes down slowly again near 1am next day  I made a screenshot to better describe the problem : https://ibb.co/buYV0RSo 2 questions : for miners : do you have same problem near (screenshot done the december 20, 2017 gmt+2) for blockmunch admins : any problems on your side ? I worry because it also impact payouts thanks for help. Hello, This seems to be a problem on our end we are working to resolve. Will update everyone on the status! I use 6 Antminer d3 and your pool dies every 5 - 6 minutes. What is the problem??? We think we have isolated the issue. Could someone please try and let us know? retrying...

It makes confidence. I hope you will find quickly because right now the report for me with 2 D3 is 8.1Gh instead of 39 Gh, very far from the 0.25% fee...
