[1. Regulators]

Did you feel confused with the title? Perhaps not since most of you already talking about it lately and based on that I'm trying to discover what are the things makes people putting their money into defi. Anyway "the fi" was inspired by the latest newsletter from shitcoin.com

1. Regulators
In July, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) made a major change by approving defi project for the first time (Arca - built on ethereum blockchain). This is welcome and important sign, since the major challenges in financial innovation is the hostile environment created by old regulations written for an olden era.

2. Mainstream players are getting involved
There are some high financial institutions are starting to accept defi and looking for a ways to participate in. For example, 75 major banks are trialling blockchain payments network as part of the Interbank Information Network, including JP Morgan, ANZ and Royal Bank of Canada. Aside from that, major asset management funds are starting to take defi seriously as well. Most prominent is Grayscale which is one of the largest crypto investment fund.

3. COVID-19
The pandemic has encouraged global interest rates even lower. In this case, defi potentially offers higher returns e.g compound has been offering an annualized interest rate of 6.75% for those who save with tether. Not only get interest, you also receive Comp tokens which is an additional attraction.

Firstly I want to say that I am not really familiar or having any experience with a trading bot
Recently I had seen a trading bot service^[1] that offering ROI on average up to 25% in my opinion it was too good to be true since according to the practical comparison of bots^[2] made by PremiumCodeX it only has an average 10% ROI.

So, what do you think about that service? And what are your main points when choosing a bot?

[Phishing menurut wikipedia]

Thread ini terinspirasi dari post milik @dkbit98 yang saya terjemahkan dan sedikit modifikasi, sebenarnya info tentang phising kuis ini pernah dibagikan pada SFI oleh @wumBowo di pinned post info phishing, malware, virus, dst. Namun sepertinya post tersebut tenggelam karena banyak situs phishing/malware yang bermunculan.

Dan karena kebanyakan (tidak semua) member SFI adalah bounty hunter saya rasa informasi ini cukup penting dan tidak ada salahnya berbagi ilmu, oleh sebab itu saya berinisiatif membagikan informasi ini agar member SFI lebih mengenal bagaimana para pelaku menjerat korbanya dan semoga bisa terhindar dari hal tersebut.

Phishing menurut wikipedia:

Dalam komputer, pengelabuan (Inggris: phishing) adalah suatu bentuk penipuan yang dicirikan dengan percobaan untuk mendapatkan informasi peka, seperti kata sandi dan kartu kredit, dengan menyamar sebagai orang atau bisnis yang tepercaya dalam sebuah komunikasi elektronik resmi, seperti surat elektronik atau pesan instan. Istilah phishing dalam bahasa Inggris berasal dari kata fishing (memancing), dalam hal ini berarti memancing informasi keuangan dan kata sandi pengguna.

Phishing/Penipuan biasanya digunakan untuk mencuri data pengguna seperti kata sandi, private key, info kartu kredit dan informasi lain yang berharga. Para pelaku menipu targetnya dengan meniru website/email salah satu perusahaan atau brand ternama dengan sedikit modifikasi dan meminta orang-orang untuk mengirimkan informasi penting mereka.

Jadi mereka memberi umpan dengan memanfaatkan keserakahan manusia untuk menjerat para korbannya, seperti pemancing yang menggunakan umpan untuk menangkap ikan  .
Dalam internet banyak sekali penipu yang berkeliaran di luar sana, jadi kita harus mawas diri dan selalu menambah wawasan kita dan terhindar dari phishing/penipuan.

[Latar Belakang]

Latar Belakang
Halo agan semua, disini saya akan sedikit memberikan tips tentang bagaimana cara login forum (bitcointalk) tanpa harus melewati CAPTCHA. Diantara para member bitcointalk terutama lokal board Indonesia saya yakin ada beberapa member yang sering mengalami kesulitan dalam melewati CAPTCHA  yang terkadang harus melakukannya sampai 2-3 kali dalam sekali login (termasuk saya sendiri). Sebenarnya masalah seperti ini bisa diatasi dengan men-checklist checkbox tetap masuk (always stay logged in) pada saat proses login ke forum, tetapi menurut saya cara ini sedikit kurang aman. Misalkan ada orang lain baik itu teman maupun saudara meminjam pc/smartphone agan dan agan menerapkan cara yang saya sebutkan tadi tanpa pernah menutup tab (yang digunakan untuk forum) pada browser agan, bisa saja "orang lain" tadi masuk ke browser yang agan gunakan dan bisa saja merubah kata sandi agan pada forum ini.


Tujuan
Berdasarkan hal tersebut saya ingin berbagi tips khususnya untuk para member yang sering keluar masuk forum supaya tidak perlu lagi melakukan 2-3 kali CAPTHCHA setiap login ke forum dan dengan keamanan yang lebih terjamin.


Pembahasan
CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) berasal dari kata bahasa Inggris "capture", diciptakan pada tahun 2000 oleh Luis von Ahn, Manuel Blum, Nicholas J. Hopper (Carnegie Mellon University), dan John Langford (International Business Machines Corporation). Captcha sendiri merupakan suatu bentuk uji tantangan-tanggapan (challenge-response test) yang digunakan dalam perkomputeran  untuk memastikan jawaban yang diberikan bukan hasil dari suatu komputer atau bot.

Tutorial

1. Login Forum
Pertama, sebelum agan mengakses link untuk mendapatkan link captcha kode nantinya agan harus login terlebih dulu seperti biasanya. Jika agan tetap mencobanya tanpa login terlebih dulu maka hanya eror yang terjadi, seperti gambar dibawah ini.

2. Dapatkan Captcha Kode
Selanjutnya agan tinggal klik link ini (https://bitcointalk.org/captcha_code.php) untuk mendapatkan link captcha kode yang akan digunakan untuk login nantinya. Setelah mendapatkan link captcha kode tadi jangan lupa simpan/bookmark di tempat yang menurut agan aman.

3. Logout Dan Login Kembali
Selanjutnya agan coba logout dan coba login kembali menggunakan link captcha kode yang agan dapatkan tadi.

Selamat mencoba dan semoga bermanfaat  

Q&A

Q: Bagaimana jika link captcha kode saya diketahui orang lain?
A:

If someone were to know that someone uses this code, they could attempt to login using every username until they don't get an error message anymore, then bruteforce my password.

Q: Apa yang harus saya lakukan jika seseorang mengetahui link captcha kode saya?
A: Jika link captcha kode diketahui orang lain, maka agan harus me-reset captcha kode untuk mendapatkan captcha kode yang baru.

Tambahan : lakukan reset secara berkala (mingguan atau bulanan) untuk meminimalisir peretasan akun.

Hello guys,
I want to ask here about reaudit twitter account without pro account, my friend has told me the way to do that. but it's not working for me.
This is the way:

1. Go to your profile
2. Settings and privacy
3. Application ( Apps)
4. Audit and Block Fake Followers ( revoke access )
5. Re-login https://www.twitteraudit.com/  ( sig in with twitter )

So, is there any other way to re-audit without use pro account?

[Salam bitcoiners Indonesia]

Salam bitcoiners Indonesia,

Dengan banyaknya isu-isu jelek terkait bitcoin di beberapa media membuat nilai dari bitcoin semakin menurun. Melihat nilai bitcoin yang akhir-akhir ini turun cukup drastis bahkan hampir setengahnya sejak awal tahun 2018, saya mencoba untuk melihat perkembangan nilai bitcoin beberapa tahun terakhir yang tercantum di coinmarketcap.com



Dari charts tersebut saya mendapatkan beberapa kesimpulan:
1. Bitcoin selalu mengalami penurunan di awal (Q1) tahun tersebut
2. Nilai bitcoin mulai merangkak naik pada pertengahan (Q2) tahun
3. Dalam 3 tahun terakhir bitcoin selalu mengalami kenaikan di akhir (Q4) tahun

Dan jika saya persentasekan nilai bitcoin sejak awal mulanya di coinmarketcap

• 2013 (458,85%)
• 2014 (-58,84%)
• 2015 (33,13%)
• 2016 (123,17%)
• 2017 (1244,06%)

Dari data diatas akankah bitcoin kembali naik di tahun 2018 seperti 3 tahun terakhir atau akan bernasib sama seperti yang terjadi di tahun 2014?
