1  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How Effective Telegram SCAM report ? on: December 09, 2019, 10:22:53 PM
Just few days back I have seen a accusation against a ponzi scheme which were advertised on telegram.
Here is the accusation ; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5202818
That a Telegram channel advertised a ponzi scheme so called "vinexbtc". I think that website already scammed users and skipped as well although website still live and we should be careful.

I a result all subscriber of this channel who had invested by their invitations report that channel. And as far as I know only that channel advertised this scam. And eventually Telegram marked them as scam channel.

 

So your report would effective to prevent scam. Every channel and telegram group have report option. So whenever you will see any possible scam then you should use it. Whenever someone suddenly add you on any channel or group then don't just report as a spam. See group if anything is scammy there then use report from upper right corner. You may report other and describe about their scam.

I think only that guys who is so called "Trading Crypto Coach" is behind of that scam. Most likely he have scammed his subscriber. Every day he had pushed to invest. When I have seen his message some times I thought, "am I missing something?". So imagine now who do no have idea about ponzi scheme they will invest blindly. So I am suspecting lots of subscribers got fucked of this channel.

Here is fucking excuse from scammer,




So guys please use report to prevent scam. Just don't make spam report, report manually them as a scam. When so many report will receive then Telegram will marked them as a SCAM.


This is a very helpful function in Telegram indeed! But let's be honest, if someone randomly decides to report a channel as a scam although it is not, will this be fair? What about Telegram channels where you can find the latest information on such a ponzi scheme like Vinex, does anyone know such channels?
2  Economy / Service Discussion / Are EU Exchanges Viable on: November 10, 2019, 11:43:16 PM
Hello guys. I saw recently the news that DX Exchange suspended trading and its owner is looking for merger or acquisition deal. They say that the company faced some financial difficulties and this is why it cannot maintain operations anymore. Doesn't it seem to be a strange explanation? I don't believe that crypto project like DX Exchange is not able to acquire good client base and make good profits... I think that there can be more to it, and in terms of EU legislation - regulators just do not want to create a favorable climate for crypto companies. What do you think?

Cryptocurrencies are seen/been portrayed as a lasting solution to international and domestic payments. There are daily updates on companies that now accept cryptocurrency for payments.
This post is to find out how easy it is for you as a bitcoiners and/or Altcoiners to spend your cryptocurrencies in different countries/regions?

This is about real time payments, remittances among other uses.

I’ll start.
Cryptocurrencies like BTC and Eth are some of the top 5 options for international and domestic payments in my country. You don’t need to visit a bank or submit personal details to receive payments. The fact that Crypto payments are traded at the same rate as the country’s exchange rate, makes it a good payment option.
While cryptocurrency is very popular with online freelance, There are just a few number of local retailers that would accept cryptocurrency.

I believe more countries and companies will become more crypto friendly once national regulators start considering crypto as a legal tender with legal status. In this case it will be easier for companies to accept it as a means of payment. But as for me, in this case crypto will be just another currency (monitored and regulated).
4  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Spending-bitcoin.com - The biggest directory of webshops accepting Bitcoin! on: November 06, 2019, 10:33:45 PM


We are excited to introduce you to Spending-Bitcoin.com, the biggest directory of online stores accepting Bitcoin! We currently have listed 699 online stores.

What is Spending-Bitcoin.com?

We are aiming to be the largest, and most up-to-date, directory of online stores accepting Bitcoin. Most of the websites we could find are either very outdated or they are missing a lot of websites, which is why we decided to build this directory. We are offering:

  • Lightning Network support
  • No advertisments
  • No referral/affiliate links
  • No storage of user data
  • No shitcoins

What's in it for us?

Nothing! We've built this website out of love for Bitcoin and to help spread adoption. We have no plans to monetize our website by placing advertisements or selling user data (we're looking at you mr. Zuckerberg!). In fact, we've built a custom analytics system that allows us to track user behaviour on our website without storing any of the user's data.

How can you add a website?

Anyone can submit new websites. All you need to do is enter a valid URL (no referral links!) and hit the 'submit' button. Our website automatically generates a website title, description, avatar and banner for you, making the submission process as simple as possible!



What if a website stops accepting Bitcoin or shuts down?

If you run into a website that stopped working, isn't accepting Bitcoin anymore, turns out to be a scam, or any other reason, all you need to do is hit the 'report' button. Enter the reason why you are reporting a website and hit the 'submit report button'.



Feel free to start adding your favorite webshops and we'd love to hear your feedback!

Nice website, thank you! Maybe you will consider some time later filtering by country as well? It will be very helpful for some categories like "Food", for example.

Maybe it is not about a specific country but you can pay for tickets or even consultancy or medical services online using crypto. Who knows but it seems that in the near future banks will lose their popularity and most of us will switch to bitcoin transactions. They are quicker, cheaper and secure.
