Please be on the Alert for Fraudulent Emails Impersonating the “MTGOX Team”

Quote
To Rehabilitation Creditors:

Alert on fraudulent emails claiming to be from the MTGOX Team

We have received reports from some rehabilitation creditors that they have received an email claiming to be from the MTGOX Team that, in summary, contains the information below. However, this email is a fraudulent email impersonating the MTGOX team (the “Fraudulent Email”). The Fraudulent Email was not sent by the Rehabilitation Trustee, and the information in the Fraudulent Email is completely false. Accordingly, please disregard the instructions and requests in the Fraudulent Email.

・The Rehabilitation Trustee has brought forward the deadline for repayment from October 31, 2024, to March 29, 2023.
・MTGOX is now proceeding with allowing all creditors to withdraw their remaining balances fully.
・Following court approval, withdrawals of the balances will be processed to a Web3 wallet connected by the customer and distributed through the Ethereum network. For efficiency, claims for each account will be consolidated into a single transaction.
・You are asked to click a “Begin Now” button displayed in the Fraudulent Email to visit a “uniquely generated withdrawal” (i.e., dedicated) page to connect your wallet securely and verify your identity.

If you receive a Fraudulent Email, please do not click the “Begin Now” button or any links in it and delete it immediately. For accurate information on the civil rehabilitation proceedings of MTGOX, please log into the MTGOX Online Rehabilitation Claim Filing System (the system that can be accessed via the URL “ https://claims.mtgox.com/ ”; the “System”).

Imagine getting scammed after getting robbed by trusting MtGox again, lol.

When is the last time anyone outside of the US saw a 'made in USA' product? And I would rather have China quality over US quality.

Yeah right!
Reminded me when Iran buried their top general killed in a US strike after parading his coffin in a Chevy Silverado and his daughter was taking pictures with an Iphone!
All the way chatting death to America!

The Chevy Silverado which when it had 500k km and a faulty engine was passed down from a rich country to a poor country and then to a poorer country once it was nearing the end? Same thing as with the IPhone. I have seen bums running around with refurbished IPhones in third world countries. Luxury is becoming meaningless, as I see it. Or rather "the newest thing" is only considered a luxury for a short amount of time because it stops being 'new' at some point.

how do you explain this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_exports

China           3,715,827   
United States   3,011,859   

Everything is produced in China, the US produces nothing but somehow by god knows what miracle China's total exports are barely 33% higher than the US, with 1.4 billion people compared to 300 million!



I don't know, I am no economist. How do you explain that the US only has 31.6% more export than Germany, but around 4 times the population size? Thats roughly (~4.23x) about as much as the ratio of China's population to US population.

104  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 🟣OFFICIAL SOLANA THREAD 🟣 [ Discuss everything about Solana here ] on: April 12, 2024, 01:28:38 PM
can some one please explain how the SOL chain keep "stopping" then restarting .... how does Sol maintain integrity?

It keeps restarting because it's a "shitcoin". If it was a serious project, developers would've addressed the network outages by now (with a permanent fix). They're now hyping the launch of a third-party node software (Firedancer), claiming it will fix Solana's problems once and for all. I'm yet to see whenever that will be the case in the long run.

With Solana being an unreliable chain, it's best to look for other options. Why not choose Polygon instead? It's cheaper, and faster than Ethereum. Best of all, it has been running smoothly since launch (if I'm not mistaken). It's a "free market", so time will tell us which coin wins and which one goes all the way down the drain in an instant. Grin

Because a fix seems to not be possible. Or the devs would have done something by now.

Today 16 march Solana stands at $192. I am very surprised! Shouldn't it be some kind of correction in price soon?

Some new overhyped update is coming up on the 15th. Supposedly it will fix the congestion problems. Everybody is waiting and holding on to their SOL, I would wager. But yes, correction is going to happen and it might go down soon.

From a mathematical standpoint the problem with Martingale Strategy is that eventually you will reach a losing streak long enough to wipe out all your funds. And it is not a question of IF but rather WHEN.

So the strategy does not work (unless you have infinite funding). I don't know why people think they can outsmart mathematics.

107  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Debunking the Myth of Bitcoin's Use Case on: April 12, 2024, 07:41:45 AM
A short educational video explains the difference between 'trading an item' and 'using an item' to show that there's no such thing as a 'Bitcoin use case': https://youtu.be/uNzs9JAKjMY

This video was uploaded one day ago by a newbie Youtube account that nobody follows. So I am going to assume it is your account and your video. It seems to be an AI voice reading a bullshit text that you wrote yourself and are now trying to pass it off for as some kind of actual knowledge.

You have no idea what you are talking about and your video version of a spam text was unnecessary. Thanks for wasting everybody's time.  Roll Eyes

edit: enough posters have provided an adequate response to the video. Everyone seems to be in agreement that it is not factual. There is not one person in this thread that is in agreement with OP.

109  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: An AI-powered Twitter bot predicts Bitcoin’s price on: April 11, 2024, 12:47:06 PM
The price cannot be predicted exactly, even with AI. That is because there are too many unknown variables which effect the price. And you don't need AI to see the most probable direction that the Bitcoin price will go if you have a basic understanding of Technical Analysis and Fundamental Analysis.

111  Local / Anfänger und Hilfe / Re: meine Seed funktioniert nicht? on: April 11, 2024, 11:54:58 AM
Hallo, ich bin hier neu und vom Thema her auch.
Vor Jahren hatte ich in Electrum  zwei Wallet erstellt, und mir ,die besagten 12 Wörter (Key) mehrmals aufgeschrieben. Nach Jahren, habe ich mal wieder Electrum  aufgespielt, aber er hatte meine Seed nicht mehr angenommen. Doch siehe da, mit dem Passwort aus Electrum  hatte Electrum  mir meine Wallet wieder gezeigt. Alles da, glaube ich. Die Seed, die ich mir dann in Electrum  zeigen lasse, mit Hilfe des Passworts, sind andere. Ich möchte wieder in das Thema einsteigen, bin aber verunsichert, solange ich nicht weis, was da passiert ist. Wo soll ich anfangen zu suchen, was könnte passiert sein? So fühle ich mich unsicher.

Schon mal Danke für's lesen,
der Eisenmann17

Hallo Eisenmann17,

Du solltest deinen Thread in die deutsche Sektion verschieben: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=62.0.
Wahrscheinlich hast du deinen Seed falsch aufgeschrieben oder es war in der falschen Reihenfolge. Aber funktionieren sollte es auf jedenfall (wenn es richtig ist).
Falls du auf Nummer sicher gehen willst: Mache einen neuen Wallet und schicke deine Coins dorthin bevor du noch den Zugang zum alten Wallet verlierst.
112  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Largest DEX receives wells notice from the SEC on: April 11, 2024, 10:15:10 AM
If the government wanted regulation, they would make clear rules

I agree. This is where the main fault lies: their traditional regulatory framework does not work for crypto. The demands of the SEC that decentralized crypto apps must follow their outdated framework is unreasonable and unenforceable.
113  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Largest DEX receives wells notice from the SEC on: April 11, 2024, 09:02:06 AM
Not only is this another frivilous lawsuit, but it will go nowhere, same as with Ripple (XRP). DEXes cannot be regulated like CEXes. It is technically not possible. Gary is just bored at this point and lashing out at whatever.
 
What if SEC wins?

The only way they can win is by attacking centralized elements. If they win then that only proves that Uniswap is not as decentralized as it claims. I think we will see development of privacy-based and more decentralized DEXes as a response to SEC enforcing regulations on Uniswap. I never really understood the hype behind Uniswap in the first place.

Gary Gensler's claims that the existing securities laws are sufficient to police crypto but obviously he is comparing apples to oranges at this point.
115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: (Bullish) Solana introduces the promise of solving congestion with v1.18 on: April 11, 2024, 07:13:21 AM
I think it is not bullish and in fact, I would personally stay away from Solana until the congestion thing clears up because it might be the next big crypto failure. Solana has a big problem that has no solution yet. All we have are promises and community hype. As I understand it the new upgrade will come out on april 15th. Lets see what the upgrade brings with it....

Gotta shake em out every cycle.

I think of it as a Feuertaufe for becoming a beginner coiner. Once your hand gets burned, you learn a valuable lesson.

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!):

118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is This How I Lost All Of My Money From Atomic Wallet? on: April 10, 2024, 04:35:15 PM
I'm just confused as to why Atomic Wallet had me insert my 12-word phrase into the links they provided.
Atomic Wallet claims it was a safe and secure procedure.

Once the ATOMs were unbounded and I was done staking, I only needed a wallet address to transfer the funds.

When I asked Atomic Wallet this, they wrote back,
"In the case of Cosmostation, this wallet is safe, as well as the import procedure provided by Grace. Decentralized wallets play an intermediary role between you and the blockchain. With your backup seed on hand, you'll be able to access your account via any app of your liking that supports the assets you're holding."


The wallet importing procedure is an integral part of every wallet. You do not actually transfer anything, but rather you access the same wallet through different wallet interfaces by giving the interface your seed phrase. Every wallet address has a different seed phrase with which you can access the funds of said wallet. I see nothing wrong with what the Atomic support told you. So the problem is most likely either that you have a malware, you told someone your seed phrase or you got phished.

Either way, somebody found out your 12-word phrase, it seems.

Can you give us the original wallet address and the wallet address that your funds went to?

But why go through that procedure (where I insert my 12-word phrase in the links) when it's not necessary., I don't understand this.

You are right; someone got my 12-word phrase.
I wondered if it was because I inserted my 12-word phrase into the links that Atomic Wallet sent me.
I did go to this site:
REDACTED





Did you connect your wallet to this app!? Did you give any permissions?  Connecting your wallet with unknown services can be dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. And this might in fact be a scam site.

Yep, looks like it is because of that website: A reviewer claims it is a scam

please edit your post so that nobody clicks on the url by accident!

EDIT: You can report crypto scams to the authorities. Who knows, they might catch the scammers if they do something dumb.

I made a scam accusation thread for you: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5492327.0

I do not recommend divulging your Email on this or any public internet forum! You are setting yourself up to get phished/scammed.

Where did you download the wallet from? Are you sure you contacted the real atomic wallet support or that you did not receive a spoofed Email?? Compare the From address to the Reply-To address.
