1861  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will old Cold storage MEW work since we merged? on: September 30, 2022, 11:02:40 PM
I used to use MEW wallet a long time ago.  But since it only supports ETH Network, it was necessary to use different wallets for other chains, so to continue using multiple support wallets in once software, now I use Trust wallet's multi support wallet. So now I don't know much about MEW Wallet.  And because of this I don’t  have any computable ans of your question
Don't let the name mislead you (My EtherWallet). As time went by, they also had to adapt and start supporting other blockchains

The Android version of MEW can do that
They also have a browser extension that supports other chains known as enkrypt (https://www.enkrypt.com)

Just providing an update…

Basically it worked like before. Pretty much no changes. All had to do was put in correct nonce, gas, and gas limit. Fees seem much cheaper than before. Can’t remember sending a erc20 transaction for less than $1 in fees.
Yeah, fees are not so low, just like the pre-2017 bull run times. I personally stopped making transactions on ETH network a couple of years back, but I think I will start using the network again soon.

Meanwhile, exchanges like Binance are still charging fees above $1 for Ethereum so that they can promote their shitty chains (BSC and BNB Beacon chain)  Roll Eyes
1863  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Midas Investments | Is it too good to be true? on: September 29, 2022, 11:27:34 PM
It would be quite a gamble if you tried to use the platform. First, the service is centralized. I think you know what happened during the Luna crash. Such platforms are prone to locking up people's funds
This thread can be worth a read - Recent events should make you withdraw all your coins to your own wallet: Part 2

Those too good to be true high rates could mean something, which we don't know yet. Where are they getting that money from?
Another good one to read: "If you don't understand where the yield is coming from, you are the yield."

Has anyone used them? While I don't believe they are currently a scam, I'm not sure if their business model is sustainable in the long term. Supposedly, they've been in business for over 4 years (haven't confirmed it myself), while according to Captainaltcoin.com's review, they're a registered business in Switzerland, with a pretty decent rating of 8.2/10.
it's likely that the earlier years they weren't so much into yield farming, they probably jumped into the Defi bandwagon at the peak of the hype

a Redditor said this

Tempting but too many red flags. Midas states that it is located in Switzerland and there was an article that they will be registered with Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority license (FINMA).

But CoinMarketCap states it is in Russia.

Their CEO is in Istanbul Turkey.

Their Rates are more than twice what any is offering.

I would say you proceed with caution.

If bisq is not user friendly, you can use localcryptos p2p exchange. They also don't require KYC. They support only BTC, ETH, DASH, LTC and BCH, so you are going to convert that USDC to one of those coins and then send them over there - https://localcryptos.com/Bitcoin/United_States/Sell

1865  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ETHPoW on: September 27, 2022, 11:26:39 PM
I was waiting for the coin to crash down to the 5$ range but now I think it's not going to happen again, hopefully the mining difficulty goes down in few months later.
Why not/ the coin is currently trading at $10, $5 isn't so far away. The coin is still so volatile and very prone to manipulations
Anybody trading futures should completely avoid it for now unless if they have balls of steel

Here is an interesting metric - ⚔️ ETH Wars 🗡️
It's still early, but it shows how strong ETH compares to other forks including the oldest fork Ethereum classic in terms of dominance

0.06 BTC is $1,149 at the moment. Go borrow it from your relatives or friends if you have no collateral. I am sure they will happily give it to you and wait for one year without getting worried that you won't pay them back.

Good find @franky1  Grin

It had to be a faketoshi, why would someone go through the trouble of making themselves anonymous only to have a meeting with the SEC years later just as Bitcoin starts to get more and more popular.
It's also pathetic how the mainstream media are so quick to jump on stories that they feel could negative affect Bitcoin. In fact, I no longer follow all the crappy news channels like Bloomberg.
1868  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Suggest a promising project at an early stage? on: September 27, 2022, 10:19:09 PM
It is an equally risky choice when it comes to choosing new projects. The top projects are heavily discounted but there is no absolute guarantee that they will continue to survive when bear season rolls around, as we also saw the top coins of 2018 mostly replaced in new altcoins in 2021, the battle of altcoins is extremely harsh. For example, XRP since hitting an ATH of $3 in 2018 has never been able to return to that price since.
Investing in altcoins always involves unpredictable risks, so wherever you invest, you should take into account the risks you face.
XRP's case was quite obvious. With SEC on their asses, they was no way that coin was going to pump. But there other projects that actually did well. If I recall ADA once again went x100, Verge (XVG) also when x100

In the bear market, it's so easy if you are buying coins long term, especially the old projects that survived through the previous bear market. Even if the coin does not go x100. Even x10 or x20 which is realistic from promising low cap coins is more than desirable.

why are you making multiple announcement threads and yet one is enough?

Some threads have some constructive criticism but then you send them to archival. If you are to announce a service here, you need to have some thick skin and provide all necessary answers to whatever criticism comes up.

1870  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: koi miner Release the latest mining machine C16 Max 113TH/s on: September 26, 2022, 11:55:28 PM
The website OP share is likely one of those scam sites claiming to resell several types of mining hardware from different manufactures as I see that they also claim to have Whatsminers, Goldshell Miners, Antminers, Avalonminers etc

Members should completely avoid such untrusted online resellers.
1871  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ethereum switch from PoW to PoS on: September 26, 2022, 11:27:33 PM
if we look at the picture above we have seen that POS is more efficient than POW,
Efficient in what context? You haven't specified.

but we also see now after the merger is complete the price keeps dropping whether it's because they POW miners throw their ETH or they use ETH from POW mining to get rewards from staking POS
Were you paying attention to the markets?
The ETH price pumped hard before the merger. it's quite obvious that people were looking forward to getting some of the airdrop from the fork. As soon as the merger was done, there was no point to keeping the ETH so most traders sold it thus the dump.
1872  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Cloudbet - Asked for verification and blocked account. on: September 26, 2022, 10:55:32 PM
I m using this casino from time to time, and they never wanted KYC from me. Maybe you exceed the allowed amount of money.
Their KYC verification program is not mandatory for every users. They will ask for KYC at anytime if they feel like they need to, perhaps that's why they have never ask for KYC from you yet.

Read their terms - https://www.cloudbet.com/en/help/terms

Goodday, everyone!

We have requested the player's TrustDice information so we can look into the case further.

We will provide the necessary feedback on the case soon.
Great move. Nice to that you are willing to follow this up. OP was online today for a good two hours after you made this reply but didn't bother responding or even try to prove that his money was "stolen"

The ball is now in his hands if what he is saying is true

I can't find this kind of info in the wikipedia page, can you provide the link? Although this isn't new, lots of misinformation provided in wikipedia site since then.
The information is not actually one the Wikipedia page but if you search "bitcointalk" on Bing, the image will show up on the right side. More like a thumbnail and then a link to the Wikipedia page.

You can search it on Bing and you see what I am talking about.

I was searching on Bing then I noticed something unusual

Some seemingly misleading information on the right side of the page, showing as though it was from the Bitcointalk Wikipedia page

100% of the funds sent to this campaign go to the BitcoinTalk forum. The BitHope Foundation has no control over the received funds or on how they are spent.

The BitcoinTalk forum lost a third of its referrals from the bitcoin community in February, according to available traffic data from website analytics firm SimilarWeb.

Despite of publishing defamation campaigns against innocent people, Bitcointalk.org is the largest forum for advertising illegal activities.

the quotes are linked to bithope.org, zoominfo.com, game-protect.com respectively.



Someone butthurt trying to spread misleading information to unknowing visitors?

How do we work around to remove that misleading information?

Oh, I didn't notice Royse777 was already here.
So, You are started responding to him again? What's the point? Do you believe you will be able to satisfy him? If so, You are wrong. TrollyBag is not going to stop.
Well, from what it looks, it seems he stopped... for now.

Speaking of all these new accounts creating topics in order to cause some friction and then disappear in a thin air. It's likely Royce777 created some enemy or enemies probably from signature campaigns or bounties as he was a manager. The common thing about these account is they seem to be bitter about campaign managers

1877  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Ask about The Best Wallets for Bitcoin ? on: September 24, 2022, 11:55:45 PM
Mobile wallets aren't equally good as desktop wallets for example Electrum, IMO.
Considering its high risk when you're using Electrum in the app version especially if you will use your personal mobile phone or it's a rooted phone.
The risk is the same. Compared to my mobile phone, what are the chances of having my laptop stolen or compromised? Same, especially if i regularly access the internet using my computer too.

The difference comes in when one performs good security practices
1878  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ETHPoW on: September 24, 2022, 11:20:44 PM
BTC hasn't been PoW decentralized since 2012 when ASICs took over
If you are basing on that, then you might as well say that Bitcoin has never been POW decentralized since it's inception because from the satoshi days, the founder would find himself mining alone or with a handful of other folks.
My question is, was the Bitcoin network decentralization those days much better than it is right now?

It's sort of a free market.

Quote
Proposal how to save POW: prerequirement to mining is that you have coins in your wallet(or node)
for example: 1 coin = 1 mh/s, no need to lock coins, just to own them.You need to have desktop wallet(or node), with deposited coins, active on network.
Direct your rigs to your wallet(or node), miner program checks amount of deposited coins, and approve strenght of your hardware.
The proposal all feels like a hybrid of POS which i believe most POW miners hate.

Quote
-who want's to mine need's to HODL coins, if you don't have coins you must buy them, that's how we create demand on exchange
After acquiring mining gear, you also want miners to buy coins. Don't you think this will discourage retail miners from even participating.

Quote
-that's how we prevent centralisation (big farms)
You will fuel it instead. Big players can afford lots of coins as opposed to small farm miners. it all looks like POS.

Quote
-in that way we prevent miners to dump coins
The main reason people mine is to earn out of it.  If you prevent them from selling the coins, then tell me one reason why they should mine?

Greed destroyed crypto in many ways , we just can't do anything about it , POW or POS only the rich will eat the cake
eth just destroyed everything
Greed. Depends on how you look at it.

Quick question and please be honest.
Are you here to make money or through your voluntary efforts just make sure crypto lasts 100 more years to come?

Don't be fooled. The more you think about making money, the less heart broken you will be  Grin
