This exchange claims that it's worth $13. Never heard of the exchange before, it's my first time hearing about it today, so I don't think I can even trust it

Worse still, the chart looks weird. 5 minute chart shows that the coin was worth $100+ at some point today and a low of $1 on the same day. Manipulation?

I have come across a tornado cash looking site, but I am not sure if it's real or a phishing site?

https://ipfs.io/ipns/tornadocash.eth/




We know the original site was blacklisted (https://tornado.cash)

 I am seeing another alternative on the Wikipedia page, but they don't look similar to the one above (https://beacon.cash)
This is what I got from the wiki

My bad 

I actually just checked it, but wasn't keen enough to see that the option to swap the coins has been removed. How long has this issue been going on?

I don't see the pair in the remaining exchange as well.

Coin ranking sites (coinmarketcap and coingecko) don't care much about the legitimacy of a project or exchange. What they mostly care about is traffic so that they can earn money from adverts and referral links

If you don't do due diligence yourself, and get scammed. Then you are to blame.

I made this post about 4 years ago about how investors and traders are getting fucked left, right and center... but at that time it was mostly about ICOs, but the narrative hasn't changed

Current situation, how investors/traders are enriching these three.

Replace ICOs with DeFi's, NFTs, or what shitcoins we have had this time round, and you will have the same narrative

Each bull run, it's always the same scenario. Just different token names.

Do you think we are stupid here?

You have no idea how much I hate shill accounts that are just created to bump threads and build fake buzz. In fact, I totally doubt the credibility of service that go down the path of using shill accounts

For that case, when I get time, I am going to leave feedback on all your shill accounts. In fact, I was trying to be lenient. Well, not anymore.

So wwzsocki is the last man standing  

Glad to see that the project I promoted some years back is still up and running (Very few make it past 1–2 years without rugging users). Marketplace seems fine.

This makes me believe that the Digital GOLD team has always had good intentions. Keep the fire burning, folks!

This Exchange is using shill accounts to bump the thread and create a fake hype. The exchange is suspicious and is a most likely scam, please refer to this thread for more details about their shady behavior  - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5448660.0

Hey shill account, why are you asking yourself a question?

Your accounts were connected here

So how are we going to judge if orangewebsite.com is a scam or not without any proof to show how you were scammed.

You might want to move this post to Scam accusations board and use a better scam report format like this one

I don't know why some exchanges do this yet there are people who know the native language who would be more than willing to do the job including some members in this forum. There's a certain exchange where I contacted their live chat support using English and guess what? 

The person responding to me was using a translator of sorts. In fact, below the text, the word "translated" was in the brackets. I stopped the inquiries there and then.

Tomorrow morning ain't far, is it?

Just wait it out. You won't die  

if you are being asked for money in order to receive an airdrop, it's probably scam

Nice try. Even if I had 10 million dollars seated in an account. I would rather donate the $10 to someone who genuinely needs it rather than an internet stranger seeking for an "airdrop"

If your brain is functioning well, and you are sober enough, you should be able to understand everything right up there

You have been in that forum for almost a year and still ask questions like someone who just joined yesterday. Do you know how to use the forum search button?

I, for one, was shocked when I noticed that offordscott had been banned. He doesn't come off as a person who would plagiarize text for financial gain, but the account getting hacked and the person behind the hack posting malicious links might be true, as I have seen some victims in the past.

offordscott has been offering his service and has tried to build his reputation over time. He is one of the few trust members who sell mining gear in the forum. Out there, we have all sorts of scammers

I would like the Mods and admins to look into this and maybe unban his account if their findings prove that OP might be innocent. They could also look at the IP logs to determine if the account change hands at the point the malicious links were posted or not.

It looks like you haven't explored the forum quite well

There's some member who sells some mining gear who was banned, and I wanted to contact him via PM, but I wasn't sure if my message would get to him.

Anyway, thanks all for the inputs.

Most suitable for traders practicing scalp trading strategies, but very tiring and requires a lot of screen time. If one is using a trading bot to automate the scalping technique, then well and good

However, 1-minute time frames are not good for technical analysis because the candle patterns are very unpredictable as compared to longer time frames. Most traders I have seen prefer longer time frames for technical analysis and to make informed decisions before opening positions.

I think you are mistaken here. If there is anything true, it's actually the opposite. Cryptocurrency markets are more volatile and therefore one can make a higher ROI in a short period of time as compared to stocks where they may have to wait longer.

For example, Bitcoin moved from $16K later last year to about 31K recently, and it's not even a bull run. How many stocks can make such a move in just a few months?

There are two things that Bucksoftware101 is probably trying to do;
Either;
1. He is selling to people air there by scamming them off their money
2. He is selling people scripts that are actually malicious. Once the user installs or runs the scripts, their devices get infected

I am leaning more to the latter.


Here is the YouTube channel of the fake script - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tYPkqXW0GY

I saw the ban tag with the help of the Bpip extension



and the profile information - https://bpip.org/Profile?id=1449095

I wanted to send him a PM asking him whether he was open to the idea of making an appeal if he felt he still wanted to be part of the forum and the ban was unfair, but I wasn't sure yet if a permanently banned account can receive PMs a well.

If you have already communicated to him, then it's all good. I won't send a PM.

I don't think this is good advice for OP, though. Spending money to buying HDDs in order to mine very few CHIA coins as reward does not make sense at all. Worse still, as far as I remember, the storage disk drives get messed up in the long run. OP will have nowhere to sell them off, except maybe as scrap.

I would rather advise OP is buy coins he feels bullish about with that money, transfer them to a hardware wallet and wait for the bull run in order to cash out some profits.
