Hi, guys
I' ve noticed a problem with merits begging / merit giveaways etc. All these methods do not look legit adding value to our community but just make hype and thread bumping.

So I am here to try to solve the problem.

1. If you want to merit other bitcointalk users write here job/challenge post ("What needs to be done")

2. If you are completed the job and wants to get your merit just reply to the job post with a link.

Please read the forum rules before posting any jobs/challenges!!!

Peace

This extension defends your CPU/GPU from crypto miners on sites.

Whois is not effective in well-considered frauds, but most of the times behind scammers hiding not truly hackers but crackers and script kiddies. And you will see for example domain name registrant from Uganda, South Africa etc but the site is from "USA"...

If we would rely only on common sense then we are fighting hackers "face to face". I mean oppose my skills versus hacker's skills and I am sure "bad guys" use lots of social and cyber-weapons( malicious software and hardware), so this is bare hands fight versus special forces fighter tempered in battles.

It is good if you are so confident, but it is not a solution for everyone. And some experts could argue with you https://blog.threatpress.com/security-design-principles-owasp/

This topic will be extended and updated with new tools for your crypto wallet security.

1. Simple scan services to check the website on malware, traffic, location, scam list, age etc:
https://www.virustotal.com/#/home/url
https://www.urlvoid.com/
http://www.trueurl.net/service/spamcheck.html
http://scanurl.net/
https://www.phishtank.com/

2. Check the domain owner by whois lookup:
https://www.whois.com/whois/

3. Expand short links
http://check[Suspicious link removed]/

4. Use Google services:
https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search
https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/checkmx/

5. Chrome Browser extensions:
HTTPS Everywhere https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/https-everywhere/gcbommkclmclpchllfjekcdonpmejbdp
Fair AdBlocker https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fair-adblocker/lgblnfidahcdcjddiepkckcfdhpknnjh
No Coin https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/no-coin-block-miners-on-t/gojamcfopckidlocpkbelmpjcgmbgjcl

I am using https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search to check web site safety. Hope google service will be useful for other people.
