[Now, am I correct to think I traded a fake BUSD token?]

I use Trustwallet to swap between tokens. This has worked for me for a long time.  

Now, am I correct to think I traded a fake BUSD token? Or did I got tricked by a BUSD low volume look-alike/honeypot?
I did use the built in swap feature of Trustwallet. Same network, (Binance Chain) but the BUSD was fake.

Binance USD (Wormhole) (BUSD) is the real name but it only appears as BUSD in Trustwallet. The custom token was disabled, yet the token I swapped was still displayed in the interface, which led to confusion.

This is the symbol. When using the Trustwallet swap UI, the symbol is made to look extremely similar to the original because the Trustwallet UI blocks out the parts on the image that are different.  

My address: https://bscscan.com/address/0xcead2244f04ca3ff2824708e545aa6bb1c24dc0c
The fake token in question: https://bscscan.com/token/0x035de3679e692c471072d1a09beb9298fbb2bd31
Transaction Hash: 0xec94cb8c6b92625fb9f6d114efcd66501a3e9401ec171f8af53044d41d7fdcfb

What it looks like on Trustwallet:

Customized token settings is OFF for the fake BUSD:


Yet it still appears at the top when searching BUSD in Trustwallet:


If you press the “info” button for the token details then it results in an error,
preventing from verifying important details like the token’s liquidity
and contract address before the swap:

"scammed" by sloppy UI. Thanks Trustwallet.

This was the trade:


Trying to trade it to the real BUSD looks like this:


But Trustwallet is giving me a false estimate. THERE IS NO LIQUIDITY.

So I cannot trade back.

What do I do now? Try to exchange the fake tokens back? Nope. No Liquidity. On Trustwallet it shows me I can get 150 USD back in a swap but I cannot even use 1inch to exchange it due to 100% slippage.

I thought of myself a veteran when it comes to cryptocurrency, but one small mistake and almost 6k gone.

Let this be a lesson to the newbies here: Always triple and quadruple check what you are swapping for. You could end up swapping your money for worthless trash by accident.

This really sucks.  

All of this is because Trustwallet will not implement user protection by at LEAST warning them the same way every other dex does and
had I traded on 1Inch, Pancakeswap or any other serious dex,  I would see a warning like this:


edit: no, I did not add any custom tokens. From my point of view, there should not have been a swap option visible for the illiquid token in the first place.

There is a creative and engaging well to be dug and I think it could be fun for the community.

["voting with your money"]

Surely most of you have head about the concept of "voting with your money". But if people really vote with their money, and if the government(s) get to decide what their fiat currencies are worth by means of artificial inflation, then who has the power over a country, really? The people or the officials in the government?

Fiat currencies require the element of trust, something not required in Bitcoin. Would a decentralized, unbannable, and incorruptible version of money, such as Bitcoin be considered the people taking back the power of voting from the government?

Can a true democracy run on a trust based financial system?

So I just noticed I have a wallet with about 10 bucks worth of BTCB (Bep2) in it and I completely missed the opportunity to migrate (how often do you look inside a wallet with 10 bucks worth of shitcoins?). I no longer see the swap button on Trustwallet and it seems to be delisted everywhere else.

10 bucks is not a big deal but is there any place I can swap the BTCB Bep2?

Psychological profiling of online personas using AI. Immoral or not?


Feel free to express your thoughts on this.

Is it possible to reply to a topic without bumping it? I think this would be a very useful way to warn others of scammers, trolls and suspicious posts without bumping the thread to the top where more people can see.

Quantum Random Number Generators should be used in mining hardware for truly random nonce generation. QRNG Chips are being sold by ID Quantique (although I have no idea about the cost) - Why are these chips not widespread in all miner hardware by now? Perhaps the cost? Technological immaturity? I know there are some arguments of quantum resistant technologies which seemingly make QRNG less meaningful, but those technologies are not certain to work for future generations of quantum computers. Nonce's optimally should be generated by true sources of randomness.

[What happened:]

What happened: A newbie coiner and Bitcointalk user named  Anderson0077 lost his funds after they were drained from his wallet. Most likely after (I suspect) connecting to this app:

Scammers Link (do not connect your wallet to this app!):

Code:

https://decentralized-base-protocol.vercel.app 

Reference Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5492300.0
Amount Scammed: NA
Payment Method:  NA
Proof of Payment: NA
PM/Chat Logs: NA
Additional Notes:
A reviewer has also noted it as a scam app which siphons your crypto from your wallet: https://www.scamadviser.com/account/profile/1272414

[Example:]

Would anyone else want to see a forum math function which turns your math into a latex version?

Here is a plugin example of what I am talking about: www.dokuwiki.org/doku.php?id=plugin:mathjax (not sure of the compatibility with Bitcointalk.)

Example:

[equation]
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
[/equation]

becomes:

a² + b² = c²

edit: there seems to be a mod for the SMF software: https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=4077

For my fellow math nerds,

I have found a very useful video which explains the mathematics and probabilities behind the game Crash and why beating the game with a low multiplier strategy in the long term is almost impossible. Anyone who has played on the Roobet Cryptocurrency Casino should know about it since their code is open source, which is available to everyone but you would need to understand the code itself to make any sense of how it works.

However, there is a youtube video which explains it from a simple mathematical standpoint, so even if you do not have the necessary coding knowledge, it is still easy to understand.

We hear it all the time in the news and even here on this forum - Scary price drop speculations based completely on fake/exaggerated news or on something without any kind of substance.

While we can all agree that panic selling is newbie domain, there are also veterans who love spreading Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. These are the people who know from experience that the Bitcoin price will definitely rise, but they can't resist buying discount BTC off of panic sellers.

Bear-whales and smaller traders alike spread FUD for the reason of scaring investors and pushing down the Bitcoin price.

Do you consider this FUD-spreading unethical or do "shaky hands" get what they deserve?

[But before I start offering this idea of mine in the gambling section, I would very much like to hear feedback and I appreciate any tips or advice you guys can give me.]

I am thinking about setting up a new type game for decentralized and non-custodial crypto gambling. One which combines investing in new (blockchain or non blockchain) start-ups. Eventually we will partner with start ups who will offer winning bonuses to the winners (and perhaps even the losers), in exchange the partnered start-up will be gaining marketing exposure and public audit data from the community.

You can join a bet AGAINST or FOR the success of start-up companies.

But before I start offering this idea of mine in the gambling section, I would very much like to hear feedback and I appreciate any tips or advice you  guys can give me.

Explaination:

Basically you profit twice, if you win:

- 1x from winning the bet and receiving the loser bet funds.
- 1x from the optional bonuses offered by partnered start-ups (for example: winners receive free extra BTC and the privilege of investing into company shares at discounted rates - Rules and Guidelines TBA.)

How the game works:

Obviously there are two groups for betting: either "Vest" or "No Vest". It will be based on a pot system with "No Vest" or "Vest" betting sides. "No Vest" pot is for betting that a certain startup-project's roadmap goal will not be reached in a fixed amount of time, (to be pre-bet specified by the start-up's officially given deadline). The "Vest" betting group will gamble on the roadmap's goals being met in time by putting their bets in their fund pot. The winning group will receive the other group's funds.

This goals of the roadmap must be defined within specified boundaries by the community and agreed upon by the start-up.

The distribution of winnings will follow a simple formula:

If your group loses the bet, the money you betted will be forfeited to the adversary group but you may receive bonuses for gambling, based on how much you bet.
If your group wins the bet, then you will receive: P*b/B of adversary pot's funds with P = all adversary pot funds, b = (your) individual bet amount and B = total fund amount in your group's pot.

Example:

You bet 100 USD in the "Vest group" of "Start-Up X" because you believe that the start-up can achieve their first working MVP withing 3 months. The entire "Vest Group Pot" is $1000 USD. The adversary group, "No Vest" loses their 3000 USD pot because the start up reached its goal of completing a working MVP with all the demanded specifications. So the winners are the "Vest Group" and you receive  1/10th of that 3000 USD. So 300 USD winnings. Yay.

In order to automate the process, I will need to learn the process and future requirements for developing an automated platform with voting mechanisms which regulate the process. I will escrow the Pot Funds until then, in the beginning of alpha phase.

The funds will be Bitcoin and at a later time, other altcoin options will be implemented, as well as a house coin/token (TBA) consolidated by underlying Bitcoin assets

Basically this new gambling will be based on helping new start-ups gain exposure and give the investors a community based audit system provided by the gambling community and gambling community. Thereby greatly outsourcing project research efforts and project audits to the community.


Business plan:

Winnings will be deducted by escrow service fee of 0.9% + transaction cost and sent to your specified Bech-32 Bitcoin address.  

Of course before I start this gambling service I will inform myself of the regulatory requirements. Although once it goes decentralized and non custodial, I am sure we will see the easing of government regulations.

I will be using this thread to keep everyone updated.

[Solution: I am thinking Bitcointalk should introduce a timed countdown for deletion and a notification system which notifies the posters before their posts are deleted? Just so we are warned that our post will be getting deleted in a certain amount of time? - excluding justified moderator deletions of crap topics/posts, because there is already a notification system for that.]

I noticed the following troll behavior in the gambling forum:

1. You post a good quality post in a good quality topic, which does not get deleted by a mod.
2. OP deletes the entire thread minutes/hours just before the signature week is over.
3. You end up missing multiple posts from your paid signature.

Not only do you miss out on the weeks payment, this also makes you look bad in the eyes of the signature manager.

Normally, this would not be a problem for people who make more than enough posts. But it seems some topic starters are trolling on purpose by doing this.

Not the first time this has happened to me and it is starting to become infuriating. This is not fair, especially for people who are trying to earn some money with signatures. No reason, no warning. Topics deleted within minutes of end of the week. And I make sure to check my posts carefully 2-3 hours before the end of the week, so this is not a coincidence, it seems.

I have been seeing Dogecoiners absolutely giddy about Elon Musk and over whether he will integrate Dogecoin into some Twitter-profit-scheme. This has led to a superficial pump in speculative nature. Why do people believe that Elon is not going to simply drop Dogecoin in the future?

Lets take a look at a similiar memecoin and its history:

Shiba Inu.

SHIB is in the top 13 on CMC and must therefore be a good investment, right? Wrong. It's trading at less than 15% of its ATH and is barely surviving.

Remember when it first came out? The idea was to do what most shitcoin devs were doing at that time and send most of the tokens to the wallet of a famous personality (Vitalik Buterin) in order to prove that the SHIB devs could never rugpull their investors and crash the price - they thought Vitalik would never touch SHIB as if there was supposed to be some unspoken, sacred bond between him and this ERC-20 token. Nobody expected Vitalik to donate the shitcoins/memecoins sent to him and crash the markets. Yet he did. Not all of them. Nonetheless the concept of a rugpull-proof memecoin failed. Vitalik did not care about the value of SHIB or the investors of SHIB. And so SHIB crashed and today has yet to recover even a fifth of its ATH price.

Now we have history repeating itself. Except this time with Dogecoin and Elon Musk as its only pillar of support.

I believe Musk is an egomaniac who only cares about the attention he gets from doing things like buying Twitter, making unsustainable cars or half-baked self landing rockets. He is just a bored multi-billionaire who wants more attention. Do people really believe DOGE can survive without Elon Musk backing it?

I for one will not be wasting my time or money just because some useless memecoin did what all cryptocurrencies do every now and then by pumping a decent 50+%.
