Our Team

We are proud of our great team. He is one of the most motivated and enthusiastic people we have, and is always ready and willing to help out where needed.

This is a big joke and a lack of respect for investors.

They also said this:

CoinCasso Exchange is a Estonian based first licensed cryptocurrency exchange platform together with CCX & ATM's network shares own profit with its members.

- I did not see your address

- I did not see the license they are talking about

this is your WHITEPAPER: https://coincasso.io/ENGLISH_CoinCasso_official_PLV1.pdf ( archive )

and I have not seen proof of the existence of a license.

looks promising project. do we have upcoming bounties? if we buy membership card how many days it takes before we recieve?

Thank you. Yes, we intend to launch a bounty campaign before the ICO starts.
Your card will be delivered in Q4 2018, most likely in early December.

EXDORADO PRESALE ( archive )


The eXdorado exchange team launched the exdorado cards presale a few days ago.

But how does it work ?

We wished to make our presale quiet different from other presales. We wanted to provide more value to our early backers than just ICO tokens with a bonus.

So we decided to not only share trading fees with the community, but also listing fees. So what are you going to have by participating to the presale ?
You will receive an eXdorado card in a limited edition (1000 units for Gold card, 100 for Platinum card and 10 for Founder card). But are wondering : why do I need for a physical card ?
With a card, it will be an easy way to login securely to your account with a unique number engraved in your card : we call it 3FA. But your card also represents a share of listing fees (10% splitted among gold cards holders, 20% for platinum cards holders, 30% for Founder cards holders, and the other 40% for the eXdorado exchange company).
But it’s not finished, the exclusive cards holders will be also able to claim a bonus on their tokens during the ICO, and receive a free access to colocation in our data center (useful for algorithmic trading and particularly for high-frequency trading)

72  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / WizSec Case Study on Craig Wright vs Dave Kleiman on: September 05, 2018, 01:17:57 PM
these are those days that the person clicks on a news link and is shocked. why is the person shocked? read this:

WizSec Case Study on Craig Wright vs Dave Kleiman: Satoshi’s Bitcoin that Never Existed?



More Controversy Over the Bitcoins in the Dave Kleiman Versus Craig Wright Case: They Don’t Exist

The case between the estate of Dave Kleiman and Craig Wright has gripped the crypto community since the beginning of the year. We just learned new details about the bitcoins involved in the dispute: those bitcoins might not exist. In fact, those bitcoins might have never existed.

The issue was first spotted by the bitcoin security experts at WizSec back in February when details of the court case first appeared online. The documents revealed to the public highlight a number of mysterious wallet addresses where the missing bitcoins are alleged to be hiding.

Last week, we mentioned that one wallet was associated with Mt. Gox. In other words, Craig Wright was trying to claim that the wallets he and Kleiman mined ended up in a Mt. Gox bitcoin wallet – which seems unlikely.

New research, however, has revealed that none of the addresses in the court documents have a connection to Wright or Kleiman.

In fact, it seems likely that Wright looked at a “rich list” of bitcoin addresses and randomly selected several top addresses.

The ongoing lawsuit alleges that Craig Wright owes the estate of Dave Kleiman $10 billion. Craig Wright, the Australian man who has previously claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, partnered with American computer security specialist Dave Kleiman in the early days of the bitcoin network. The pair allegedly mined over one million bitcoins in 2009 and 2010. It’s also possible that both Wright and Kleiman developed bitcoin and both used the Satoshi Nakamoto identity. The lawsuit, in fact, specifically claims that both Wright and Kleiman developed bitcoin along with an unnamed third party.

The whole case revolves around 1,100,000 bitcoins. These bitcoins were worth a few hundred thousand dollars when Wright and Kleiman first mined them. Today, the sum is worth billions.

I had to stop here because the article is very big, but whoever wants to read, just click where it comes: "read more".

If you read every article you will realize that we are seeing a story that if any director of hollywood made any movie would probably win some Oscar. I spent hours reading about this story and it seems to be the kind of story that must be in theaters. With this kind of attitudes only lead many governments not to take seriously bitcoin

about the project:

What is Microverse?

Microverse, is the first decentralized autonomous society,  built on blockchain, powered by the energy of which the basic limited resource unit is named Battery, and uses Blemflarck as its circulating currency. Everything in Microverse world is the result of consuming Battery energy. Once Microverse initialization completes, users become Microversers instantly if holding Battery, thus acting as stem cells in this new organization. Microversers can be consumer or producer, starting their own business, forming their own institution, experimenting their own ideas, free will is fully appreciated in this new world. As a starting point, five elements are designed in Microverse. Users can choose to be any of them by draining/burning Battery.

  • Microverser: Anyone can become a Microverser by burning Battery, after which,  a permanent  Microverse resident ID will be assigned.
  • Miner : Miners are responsible for keeping the network alive and secure by mining Blemflarck, i.e., minting Blemflarck. Any microverser can become a miner by draining Battery and attracting votes from Microversers.
  • Mutual Constructor: A Mutual Constructor has the right to vote for members in Citadel. To become a Mutual Constructor, either, burning Battery as a Microverser, or, burning other legit cryptocurrencies (e.g., btc, eth) and get referenced by one Mutual Constructor.
  • Citadel: Citadel has governing rights, which means it is capable of create/define legislation, making financial/economic policies such as mining production and taxation within the Microverse society. A list of Mutual Constructors will be chosen to run Citadel, with a limited term. To become a Citadel member, one needs to attract votes from the Mutual constructors and burn Battery.
  • Factory: Factories are the service providers within Microverse which controlled by smart contract. This could be anything from running a decentralized exchange platform to opening an online store. What can, or cannot, be run, is under the solely definition of Citadel. Blemflarck is paid to build a factory. As a starting point, Battery factory is defined as a place to provide service which can charge Battery or collect Battery.

Microverse is creating a new governing pattern on blockchain. In Microverse, no one has the absolute power to dominate the system, people have to rely on each other to get their best interest. After Microverse mainnet being launched, Microverser will be the first role in the system, miners will be voted from them thereafter to produce Blemflarck. Once there are enough Blemflarck, everyone can deploy factories will start to appear, whose functionalities can be charging Battery, issuing assets, exchanging goods, and all the things once one’s mind is finally able to express its free will. What is or, isn’t, evil, is left to the Citadel to decide, which is defined by the very people living in this universe, the Microversers.

I did not understand the purpose of this project for the society and I did not understand why it needs money from other people. In any case, people should be very careful about this project.

78  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / bitcoin and Tether: " Canceled Audit and Issuance of 300 Mln New Tokens " on: March 29, 2018, 11:43:43 AM

Small introduction about Tether: Tether Case, Explained

1 - What is Tether?

Tether is a cryptocurrency that represents real currencies in a Blockchain market.

The project was founded in November 2015. It has two tokens USDT and EURT, which were made as analogues of USD and EUR in a Blockchain world. These cryptocurrencies are closely connected with the exchange Bitfinex. At first, Tether was based on the Bitcoin Blockchain system, but in June 2017, the transition to Litecoin was declared.



4 - What about tokens liquidity and emission?

Without any audit information, it cannot be stated for sure.

Despite all the issues described above, the Tether capitalization was growing. It has been growing rapidly, so it means investment flow. But where does it come from? As the official site says reserve holdings are subject to professional audits. However, Tether does not give any names of auditors or companies.

Tether cannot use bank facilities, so where does the company hold its money? Why is the information not known for token holders? What is the real circulation of tokens? The Blockchain community has more questions than answers. Emission can be excessive, which means unbacked tokens.

The pair USDT/USD is presented on only two exchanges: Kraken and Bitfinex. Bitfinex fixed the price of one USDT at a rate of one USD. The volume of these transactions is tiny, so the question about the liquidity is open.

source: https://cointelegraph.com/explained/tether-case-explained

Ok, let's go to the article:






The inner workings of Tether have been under constant scrutiny and they’re in the spotlight again after issuing 300 mln new Tether tokens last week. To understand why Tether has been the subject of controversy for the past six months, one should remember how this cryptocurrency works.

According to Tether, USDT tokens are “backed’ by US Dollars in a 1:1 ratio. In the last six months, Tether have been constantly accused of not having sufficient fiat reserves to back the tokens that they periodically issue.

That’s why some industry critics paid special attention to the changes in a price of Bitcoin that have come after the issuance of new Tether tokens. Given that Tether is equal to one dollar, users have been buying various cryptocurrencies with Tether tokens. If these tokens are not backed by an equal amount of dollars, cryptocurrencies prices, in particular, may have been irregularly inflated.

Point proven again?

Casting aside speculation on the reserves backing Tether tokens, the issuance of 300 mln new USDT last week once again coincided with a six percent rebound in the price of Bitcoin.

This prompted fresh reactions from critics - with outspoken anonymous blogger Bitfinex’ed leading the charge with another heated tweet. Tether and sister company cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex threatened legal action against critics in December.

In January 2018, Pantera Capital chief investment officer Joey Krug expressed concerns that these rallies had led to Bitcoin rise to an all-time high in $20,000:

“This became more and more concerning, because every time the markets went down, you have seen the same thing happen. It could mean that a lot of the rally over December and January might not have been real.”

well, this seems to be a very serious problem, I have been following this story about Tether for some time, but I would like to hear your opinion on this subject.

A possible collapse of Tether, what would be the immediate effects caused by this possible collapse?

this guy @Bitfinex'ed, has become a big enemy of the owners of Tether, why? Would not it be easier to do such an audit and end all this noise?

What is your opinion on this story?

PS: I'm not accusing Tether of anything, I just want to better understand this whole story.
79  Economy / Service Discussion / Payza Faces Major Money Laundering Charges in the US on: March 23, 2018, 06:28:38 PM
Unbelievable:

Payza Faces Major Money Laundering Charges in the US

Most people are familiar with the company Payza. This particular service provider integrated cryptocurrency payments quite some time ago. It now seems the US government has taken a rather harsh course of action against Payza. The company faces charges of running an unlicensed money services business.


US GOVERNMENT CRACKS DOWN ON PAYZA


Any company dealing with cryptocurrencies will irate the US government sooner or later. In the case of Payza, the charges against them are quite steep right now. Running an unlicensed money services business is subject to severe penalties and even jail time. It is evident this is not the outcome most people were hoping for, as it puts cryptocurrency in the crosshairs of regulators once again.

So far, one of the company’s co-founders has been arrested, whereas his brother is still at large. Both Ferhan and Firoz Patel are charged with facilitating up to $250 million in money laundering. This money belongs to child pornography sites, darknet users, Ponzi schemes, and so forth. It is a long laundry list of charges which should not be taken lightly by any means.

What makes this story extremely worrisome is that Payza has close ties to the cryptocurrency industry. The service lets users conveniently buy Bitcoin and a few other currencies. Bitcoin support was first introduced back in 2014, and several altcoins were added in late 2017. It seems all of these integrations have been successful for the company, although it is unclear if any cryptocurrency was involved in the alleged money laundering.

For now, the court filing does not make any mention of cryptocurrency whatsoever. It is evident there are plenty of allegations that cryptocurrencies are used to launder money associated with criminal activities. So far, very few of those claims have held up, simply because the cryptocurrency industry is not big enough to move around large amounts of money without detection.

The big question is how all of this will affect the thousands of Payza users around the world. Since so much money was laundered through this particular payment service, users of Payza may have been affected by this tainted money in one way or another. Considering that this money was transferred over the course of six years, the full scope of this operation will not become clear for quite some time.

Surprisingly, the filing also mentions two other major online payment processors which have been caught up in this scheme. Both AlertPay and EgoPay have been under the control of the Patel brothers as well. EgoPay isn’t around any longer, as it was shut down in 2015. AlertPay is still around these days, and it will be interesting to see how this news affects that company.

 Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

This is a very shocking news, I used payza for many years and I always thought they were trustworthy and honest, I can not believe they did these things that are being accused, I hate people that hurt children and know that payza is involved with child pornography? they are disgusting! Angry

They asked me so many documents to verify my account and today I find out they do it? I'm really shocked.
80  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / ”Zen Master” Steven Seagal Eyes Up a Replacement for Bitcoin on: February 20, 2018, 07:37:51 PM

This will be a subject we will hear a lot in the coming months:





Steven Seagal is eyeing up a cryptocurrency to replace bitcoin. Bitcoiin – count those I’s – may look and sound similar to bitcoin, but is very different. It runs on the Ethereum network, confusingly, and boasts “zen master” Steven Seagal as its brand ambassador. To add to the confusion, Bitcoiin with two I’s sports a website that’s one letter away from this one and styled in the same colors. The whole affair could be dismissed as another crypto joke, were it not for a tweet from Seagal’s official account throwing his considerable weight behind the project.


Dotting the I’s and Crossing the T’s

Bitcoin has survived all kinds of foes, but in Steven Seagal it may have met its biggest threat yet. The man who spent his professional life beating up bad guys has one final boss in his sights: bitcoin. If Seagal has his way, the world’s most popular cryptocurrency will be dealt a lethal one-two combo courtesy of bitcoiin2gen (B2G).

Pronounced, presumably, in the same manner was one would pronounce bitconeeeeeeect, bitcoiin is being billed as the ultimate sequel that will be “bigger and better” than the original. Naturally there’s an ICO, a white paper, and a roadmap which speaks of $50 million of venture capital being raised in September of last year. Apparently $50 million isn’t enough to launch a cryptocurrency these days. With “unlimited potential clients” and a “worldwide network approach”, Bitcoiin is quite the groundbreaking project.

Reading this news made me laugh a lot and at the same time made me think of some things such as:

Why do some people do not create their own thing just do copy / paste and even knowing that they are doing copy / paste dare to criticize the original thing?

We have already had many altcoin with ridiculous names and ridiculous projects. but this seems to me to be the worst of all the ridiculous projects, I criticize the movie of steven seagal because in his movie he was always super genius, he never lost to anyone and had many effects exaggerated. and now the guy enters the crypto world with a ridiculous project? no one deserves this.

So here's my question:

What do you think about this project?

Do you guys think this can beat Bitcoin?

Do you think this project could be in the top 30 of coinmarketcap?
