1  Economy / Trading Discussion / I was hacked with the Fake Binance on: January 29, 2018, 03:21:38 PM
Today, to login binance, I used google search (lazy ass) and click on google top ad (stupid of me). I check https and certification was secure and the name (nothing wrong there), and after entering my password and code for two step authentication, it displayed this massage:

Due to the implementation of new security measures you will be able to login 24-48 hours later.
Sorry for the inconvenience


I got suspicious, so I typed the address and went back and googled the massage and I came across this page. Apparently the displayed name in the url with valid certification has a small dot under n. So I was hacked, lucky me I change my passwords and my authentication method asap. But It was headache and normally it is not easy to spot this. You can also copy past the fake binance.com in a notepad and see that original url is : (https://www.xn--binace-zt7b.com/).

I know I was sloppy (even being normally paranoid about everything).
I am putting this here to stop anybody losing his BTCs.

EDIT:
Currently, the link is being redirected to the main website! which is really strange! It sounds like the hackers now redirecting the link true their server to avoid people knowing about them!


(https://www.xn--binace-zt7b.com/), hold you mouse pointer on the link and look for the bottom left corner of your browser, you can see the"." under n in their fake binance.com! I am now sure actually that they are redirecting to the main to avoid losing their phishing method!

This redirecting happened recently!

2  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / It is not the end, but with this ecosystem was surprising to continue! on: December 22, 2017, 04:45:17 PM
I am true believer that bitcoin and altcoins are the future. However,  they have many problems!

I think the trigger was the benanza move that coinbase.com and its trading partner pulled off 48 hours ago. But, they are many other reasons that any stock market trader can spot on entire bitcoin and altcoins ecosystem, for example:

1. They have a very weak infrastructure for trading, in some of trading website with high reviews, you can end up waiting hours before getting you money in or out! This is deadly in any trading platforms!
2. Many of people involved in tradings are having conflict of interests so their action hurts investors and are not unbiased!
3. Finally, you can not expect ordinary people, banks, and investor come in, while having an trading website with zero accountability, customer services and so many glitches. This is not a joke,yesterday 100 of billions wiped out of the market by the actions of a few people without any accountability such as people working at coinbase!

This is not the end for sure, rather than a reflecting moment to correct the course, however, it will be hard to convince ordinary people to trust it again for a long time without some sort of improvements.

3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin vs Bitcoin Cash, was it scam? on: December 20, 2017, 02:42:14 AM
Hey guys, I am new so be nice  Grin
So yesterday, the co-founder of Bitcoin said that he is selling his BTCs and then maybe moving to bitcoin cash! In less than 24 hours, coinbase add this to its wallet and then price were pumped up by a few small transactions to 8500$!

In a trade world, this is illegal, isn't it?

Shouldn't Bitcoin have some sort of self regulation to prevent people from doing this kinda stuff?

-------------------
EDIT-24/12/2017: Here are a few updates, to prevent people from making wrong assumptions from my original post:

1. I meant co-founder of bitcoin.com, and I made it clear a few post later!

2. bitcoin cash reach to 8500$ even 9000$ for 2 hours, in coinbase.com. The reason was inside trading (google it,plz)

https://news.google.com/news/story/dhnUeN81Wdz8iqMSC9oylCpY84TAM?hl=en

3. The whole topics of this discussion was started about the banaza move that basecoin.com and co-founder of bitcoin.com pull off! This move not only made some people lose their money, but also it caused the price of BTC go down by 30 to 50% over a few days!
