1421  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: A website platform where you can list your coins and tokens for free on: March 21, 2023, 09:26:56 AM
I'm not sure about speed, but OP should improve the listing filter. There are many projects that got listed with a presale dated back to 2022 with terrible information. For example, stuff like this[1]. There is no way a trader would use this website compared to others who have better listing information. You need to improve your service if you want to compete with them unless your target shitcoin developer who wants to market their projects as cheaply as possible.

1422  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how much money is considered as "invest only what you can afford to lose" on: March 20, 2023, 01:22:34 PM
but, i am a excellent saver(when no money in pocket then need to be a excellent saver), not waste money on entertainment, fast food, not have home to invest in for maintenance, not gone on any trips from my childhood,
Maybe you can go more practical to help you decide how much money you can invest in Bitcon or other investments. Asking questions such as how much are your monthly bills, have you planned for emergency funds (you get sick, your family suddenly is dying, etc), how much do you make each month, and if you suddenly lost your job for how long can you survive without using your emergency funds, etc. Let's say you make $500/month, has $5000 in your saving account, and your monthly bill is around $300 (food, rent, etc), so you have around $200 free money per month but you have no emergency funds. I'd say that spending $100 per month to buy Bitcoin is one of the alternatives you can do while you save the rest for emergency funds, at least for the first few months or so. This is just a rough approach though, you can also apply traditional finance rules for saving if you want to look for an alternative, such as the 50:30:20 rule.

and also please share some very rock solid points that investing in bitcoin is profitable, and non losable in long term, we don't know if other satoshi came out in 1-2-3 years later(just an less probability thought)
You can check out Bitcoin price history and the economic history of the world in general. We just have two or more bank run cases in this month so you can see how risky it is to store all of your wealth on fiat, especially if you're not one of the big players on the market. You should probably read more about Bitcoin before you ask somebody to encourage you to invest in Bitcoin. This will help you make a better decision and not blindly follow whatever the other parties tell you to do.
1423  Economy / Speculation / Re: How much return are we expecting next bull run? on: March 20, 2023, 12:55:12 PM
I suggest you make a selling plan depending on the increase of your portfolio. For example, if your portfolio return is more than 10%, sell 20% of your coins, and so on. The calculation will obviously depends on your overall investment and the coins you own, there is no way to generalize it. If you do this, at least you can avoid a condition where you're too afraid to sell your coins because you keep hoping it will hit 2x but the market says otherwise. Even if it turns out that your calculation is not exactly right (it keeps pumping and you can potentially earn 3x if you hold all the way), there's no harm in doing that since you can always DCA again.

50% of my altcoins are in the current top 15 with the remaining 20% being more gamble's which I feel can at least 20x next bull run.
I plan to put a lot of my altcoin profits into Bitcoin once they start pumping.
Don't be too confident with that, altcoins top ten list has changed drastically over the last few years. Just take a look at the previous bull run, you'll see different names and those who got kicked out are not doing well right now. If anything, you want to gamble and bet on 20x profits, you should probably look at coins/tokens with medium to small marketcap. Anyway, as long as you can afford the risk and prepare for the worst, I wish you good luck with that.
1424  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CPU Mining altcoins on: March 20, 2023, 12:32:07 PM
Yes, it is RandomX algo.
What's the profitability? Which Ryzen are you using to mine? I have a PC with 3600x, wondering if I can use it for something else other than gaming but I doubt it will give me anything meaningful for mining.

Melanin Solar a startup is developing a use case for CPU mining using solar energy with a distributed smart box based on raspberry pi technology.
What does this actually mean? Does it help CPU mining become more efficient? You need to do more than this if you want to shill this project. I can't even find a website for this.
1425  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: My wallet has Been Hacked. i need your help guyz. on: March 20, 2023, 11:59:42 AM
IDK if other wallets have this but trust wallet now has the option to back up our seed phrases in a cloud storage.
Specifically, it is Google Drive. I don't know what kind of deal they have with Google that they confidently add it as a backup option, but safe to say nobody should ever use it. zetfex, you should check if you've activated this option in one of your wallets, if that is true you should check if your Google account has been breached or not. Worst case scenario they have more than just your seeds/private key.

Copy and paste? I heard copying a private key using our devices (lappy, pc, mobile) is risky. The best method was still to write down our seed phrases manually in a paper, notebook or something that is more sturdy than these two.
In general yes it is risky, especially if you use a connected device since some keylogger might be lurking somewhere. If you use an air-gapped device that has never been connected to the internet you can use it to copy-paste stuff though. That being said, I don't think you should copy-paste your seeds from one device to another, especially if the latter is connected to the internet. CMIIW.

Mistakes that newbies make is using their main wallet to connect to any websites for airdrops that will pay them in pennies, and some websites have malicious activities on them, scammers are waiting for airdroppers to come look ing for free coins and tokens, have a separate wallet for airdrops and it send coins and only send coins and tokens you plan to hold for long term into your main wallet.
This is debatable since some airdrops require some tasks such as making transactions worth more than $1000 for the last three months or something similar. Maintaining different wallets just for that purpose can be quite costly. Not to mention it add another layer of risk since you have to keep track of different wallets. As an alternative, you can ignore any airdrops links not shared by the official account of a project you're following, and regularly revoke contracts to make sure your wallet is not connected to any malicious websites/contracts.
1426  Economy / Economics / Re: SVB Analysis Shows More Than 186 US Banks Might Still Collapse on: March 20, 2023, 11:33:03 AM
It's always important for individuals and businesses to be aware of risks in the financial system and to take steps to mitigate them, such as diversifying investments and maintaining adequate emergency funds. However, it's also important to recognize that the situation is complex and nuanced, and that sweeping generalizations or predictions should be approached with caution.
Which case are you referring to? SVB buying bonds or people trying to capitalize on this crisis to swing trade? I don't think diversification can help SVB this late in the game though, I don't see how it will work either since they basically have no cash, right? As for the latter, pretty sure most of them will just withdraw their cash and then use it to buy gold or BTC even further.

Are they planning to clear the banking system or trying to reduce the banks by defaulting them? Do they have a backup plan? How will they secure people's money? Because I see no government intervention, Regulatory changes, and Economic boost stimulus acts in favor of banks till now, Maybe they come up later.
I'm not an economy expert but I don't think they care about retail customers who only have a $100k deposit or less. From what I understand, it seems like they will try to keep the big ones alive while slowly but surely closing the smaller banks.

I hope this will not happen. because it will devalue the US dollar mainly damaging those countries that used it for national reserves like my country and we are also near to being declared as default.
They will just print more money at the end of the day. I won't be surprised if they even go as far as changing the law to make sure their goal is achieved, just like what happened with Credit Suisse.
1427  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: My first experience using a mix (Sinbad / Yo!Mix) on: March 19, 2023, 02:22:04 AM
As an alternative to the testing method, you can probably try to mix some coins and deposit them on an exchange to see if they block it or not. If I remember correctly some users mention that their deposit is blocked after they mix their coins and send it to one of their addresses. IIRC, they use Mixero to mix and send it to Binance. Of course, there is no need to do this if you don't use any exchange, probably can substitute it with some services that don't allow mixed coins to see whether the obfuscation is good or not.

I wonder how it's possible to maintain the platform service provider to give ultimate privacy as well as follows the AML policies. Sad
I don't think it is possible. If what the FBI stated in their Chipmixer investigation is true, they can probably discourage some users to mix suspicious funds if someone asks for their help through chat or e-mails so that they are not considered as accomplices/allowing money laundering to happen on their mixing platform. But the investigators can probably use another reason to seize them. At the end of the day, you should not think they give ultimate privacy IMO. If that's what you want you probably should use Monero. CMIIW.
1428  Economy / Gambling / Re: How succesful will AI projects be to win the house? on: March 19, 2023, 01:47:27 AM
I don't believe that AI knows everything because first of all it is known if others have also noticed that AI is not updated in cryptocurrency and it is not accurate either, how did I say it? because when it comes to matters related to human emotions, it will no longer be able to answer the question correctly.
At the end of the day, AI is just a tool, anyone can use machine learning and build a bot specifically for crypto if they really want to. I don't see why the need to correctly measure human emotion anyway if you're talking about making bets. If anything, they can simply disregard any emotional instability when making decisions and just look at technical/statistics data that leans more to the winning side. It is not that far off considering we see many trading bots with more advanced features nowadays. Whether it is worth it or not is a different question.

 That's one of the reasons why that is no longer covered by AI because it is no longer in their program, therefore when it comes to gambling in the casino it can only provide guidlines or options that we can choose but not at the point where the gamblers will win on the house edge, because if that is true the casinos will not apply the AI system because they will only lose to the gamblers who always win in their casino, this is the logic that I see in my understanding.
It is hard to understand what you're trying to say. Are you saying that casinos or any platform can ban AI if AI gives its users more profits? That's certainly true, but bots are common nowadays, and it is also a form of AI. I don't see any platform going bankrupt just because the user uses a bot, not to mention they can simply change things to prevent the algorithm that the bot uses from always working. In the end, there are many ways to circumvent the issue.
1429  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Defi - How do I remove the "Approve to spend" contract on: March 19, 2023, 12:38:59 AM
Today one member shared https://revoke.cash/ but I never used it and I am curious about its safety. I don't want to put myself at risk by curiously trying new websites.
If I remember correctly features like this already exist on Etherscan. You can access the guide at https://info.etherscan.com/tokenapprovals/. So, there is no need to use another third-party website as long as you visit the right Etherscan website.

That being said, as long as the website is open source and you can verify/build it on your own, I think it is fine to use them if you don't find any malicious code. Relying too much on Etherscan is also not a good idea in the long run, but at the same time, trusting some new random websites is not a good idea either.

Hopefully, there is a better solution other than manually removing approval, such as automatic revoke that cost nothing other than a signature to prevent token draining or something similar. Spending a lot of gas to approve and re-approve is such a pain if you use ETH regularly.
1430  Economy / Economics / Re: SVB Analysis Shows More Than 186 US Banks Might Still Collapse on: March 19, 2023, 12:23:28 AM
Those big banks would surely be saved by the governments. We've seen that before and we'll see that again. As for the smaller ones, well good luck to them and their depositors, I guess? They are the ones who need to succumb to give way to those larger and 'more capable' banks that the governments will always save.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and th Federal Reserve will have to go the extra mile because Americans will not be allowed to suffer the loss caused by poor supervision and control of banks.
I just saw a clip where Janet Yelen responds to the question of how they would ensure that smaller banks won't lose customers since most would withdraw their money and move to big banks that are deemed "too big to fail", and her answer is confusing at best. I do think what you guys said is true, in the sense that they won't give any guarantee to community/small banks which is not surprising. That being said, IIRC, only deposit with amounts larger than $250k will be insured, which basically means the one who got screwed is likely retail customers. Kinda sad, considering SVB CEO's and others sold so may shares and earn more than $10 million in profits before the collapse.

It just amazes me how they'd do everything possible to save this dying banks when they know it'd still die.
Maybe because the system relies on them. I mean, as long as they can print money anytime, there is no real risk for the big players since they can just inflate their wealth, while the poor will get rekt as usual.

From my point of view, the recession and the banking crisis have been artificially created for the purpose of reducing the number of banks globally. There are too many banks now. And another purpose of this crisis is to accelerate the transition to digital public cryptocurrencies, which will allow excellent control of the population.
Not sure about artificially created, but at the very least this shows that there is no real punishment for the big players who do dumb mistakes if your name is too big to fail, the government will likely save you. I also don't know how this help CDBC in general, I think they will use it sooner or later regardless if there is any other bailout or not. Isn't CDBC basically a printable fiat just in digital form?
1431  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Can I post this ? on: March 19, 2023, 12:10:02 AM
When I registered and played on October 1st 2022 Switzerland was not in the list of banned countries (now it is listed as a banned country in the faq section)

If you go to google cached from 13 of October you will see Switzerland is not there in the list
I'm a bit confused, when did the change happen and when did you try to withdraw your winnings? It looks like all of these happens in October last year, so you're still trying to get your winnings now? Since most of those websites have already been blocked and labeled that site as scams, I don't think you can do anything more than that.

As others have mentioned, they don't have any presence in this forum, so while it is nice to warn others, it won't help your case that much. I think you should move on or hire a lawyer to help you sue them or something if that is even possible. They probably don't give a damn about your post on social media as long and will claim that they do nothing wrong since your deposit has been sent back to you.
1432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most of the world population involved in gambling on: March 18, 2023, 01:39:06 PM
Where did you get these numbers from? From what I can see, the link you posted just explains the general history of gambling and its forms, it doesn't include how involved the population in general is. I also agree that gacha is also a form of gambling to some extent but even if that is true, I doubt many gamers play them or spend money on them. Most people are F2P, or just buy the monthly pack that doesn't include any form of gambling.

Let's say your number is correct, 30% out of 70% of people love sports like gaming, but that doesn't sound like "most" to me.  If anything, I'd say it is bigger than I think it would be, but the average joe doesn't participate in it. A million people are still way less than 1 billion people at the end of the day.
1433  Local / Altcoins (Bahasa Indonesia) / Re: Adakah Mixer Untuk Altcoin? on: March 18, 2023, 01:29:39 PM
Dulu aku pernah tidak yakin pada sebuah mixer sehingga menggunakan 2 x mixer untuk memastikannya. Tapi kalau kupikir sekarang, repotnya di biaya fee, baik itu biaya service maupun fee dari wallet sendiri, sehingga sekarang ini aku cukup yakin saja, tidak perlu bernegative thingking, kalau menurutku yakin aku alan terus lanjut menggunakannya.
Kalau agan membutuhkan privasi, ane rasa fee adalah kompromi yang mau tidak mau harus agan terima. Kalau agan merasa keberatan, opsinya ya menggunakan Coinjoin atau Joinmarket sebagai alternatif mixer. "Cukup yakin saja" bisa mengandung beberapa resiko gan, ane rasa agan tahu bagaimana kalau jasa yang agan gunakan ternyata menyimpan data transaksi agan dan tidak pernah menghapusnya, kemudian digerebek aparat layaknya Chipmixer yang baru saja diberitakan.

Idealnya adalah agan menggunakan alamat wallet yang berbeda setiap melakukan transaksi, jadi pelacakan bakal lebih susah. Tentunya alamat wallet itu tidak boleh agan posting di forum, karena bakal sama saja ujungnya kalau orang lain bisa dengan mudah menghubungkan alamat wallet agan dengan profil di forum, plus profil sosmed atau info pribadi lainya.
1434  Economy / Gambling / Re: Any Casino Android software on: March 18, 2023, 12:58:01 PM
in the case of apps they are evident, hacking, theft, because everything is easier if you have a phone with all the passwords saved and with the files within the same phone with access to emails, if you have access to the cloud it is even more dangerous.
That's not exclusive to apps though. I think you're still at risk even if you use websites. Phishing is still a popular scam method, and they don't need you to install apps to do that. Most app scams are probably fake apps, malicious app installation, and so on, so it doesn't really reduce the risk of getting scammed through phishing links or keyloggers. A good way to prevent this is if the developer allows users to build their own apk or provide a hash for the apk so that the users can verify the app.

Casinos can implement formidable defenses like two-factor authentication, encryption, and ongoing security audits.
I've never heard about ongoing security audits for apk development. Probably not the norm since it is costly and the incentive to do that is low if you can just ask the users to submit bug. I don't know how valuable a security audit is either considering how many scam contracts still fail even if their audit shows that they are good enough. Not to mention the latest audit for banks that don't end really well. While it is different, I can see that this method shares more or less the same problem. Those with more money can simply buy a modified audit to trick users/the government.

Saya kurang familiar dengan situs ini, tapi ane lihat agan bisa memilih opsi Bitcoin sebagai koin yang mau dibeli. Jadi semestinya agan bisa menggunakan address yang digenerate BlueWallet ataupun wallet Bitcoin lain pada umumnya. Kalau agan lihat feenya mahal banget dibandingkan Bitcoin yang ada di chain lain, itu karena yang ditransaksikan adalah Bitcoin mainnet, bukan wrapped token. Jangan beli wrapped token kalau agan tidak paham risikonya apa meskipun terkesan lebih murah dibandingkan BTC.
1436  Economy / Gambling / Re: chinese bookmakers with tf gaming platform NO KYC on: March 18, 2023, 11:25:26 AM
There are still some no KYC casinos out there but I myself am not really sure if they are trustworthy and completely safe to use.
But if we study and research more about the gambling industry, we can conclude that in the future more casinos will implement KYC due to license requirements and security reasons from casinos to avoid problems like money laundering.
I'm not that confident about it. From what I've read, casino licenses provide no protection against such things. One of them in fact does not allow the casino to serve its own residents. If what I've read is true, most casino licenses are just a cash grab from the government so that they get more money from gamblers, while basically offering little to no protection to their users[1].

I also don't think they care much about money laundering until a government asks them about it. Even if they don't require KYC, I'm pretty sure they store some data that is useful for investigators. Probably not a good idea to judge a service like a casino solely on their license.

1439  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Beware of changing withdrawal address when using CEX on: March 15, 2023, 01:07:47 PM
But why did they take so long to unlock my account, and it took so long to reply with my ticket? That's why I submitted more ticket.
By the way, my account was locked only when I was withdrawing and not when I logged in.
I mean, what do you expect from a centralized service? Most of them take days to respond to tickets. You're quite lucky if they respond to your request in under 3 days or so unless they don't have that many users to begin with. Unfortunately, this is one of the risks that you have to accept if you use their service. At least there are alternatives as mentioned above.

That's a bit odd IMO, most exchanges that I know of will lock your account when you log in if they detect you use different IP. Asking them to ask the reason is probably better than guessing here.

However, it is not necessary to change your withdrawal address, it's your account and you can do what you want. I just want to inform to those who use CEX not to be so confident. We don't even know what they are thinking from time to time.
Some exchanges that I know allow you to add more than one withdrawal address in a form of contact. So it doesn't matter if you log in from another location but withdraw to one of those addresses. However, this doesn't remove the IP abuse protection. IMO it is necessary to do that since not every user is smart enough to activate the necessary security measure to secure their account. Their slow response definitely needs to be fixed though.
1440  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Intel Tapes Out Chips on 1.8nm and 2nm Production Nodes on: March 15, 2023, 12:53:26 PM
There is if you are in for the long run,for me this coin is Raptoreum as they have an awesome development team behind them
-snip-
Once they build the assets which are next so different programming languages can be used to build apps over this network which by the way is ASIC resistant as they change algo I think we can see the price of Raptoreum greatly increase.
That's nice to know. Can you use Intel CPU to mine them profitably right now? Or is there another bottleneck that a faster CPU doesn't really matter for the hash rate/profit?

And when they do come out they won't be competing with today's CPUs, they'll competing with Zen6
so expectations need to be moderated in assessing their impact on mining.
Yeah, I heard TSMC will also start producing mass N2 chips in 2025, likely coinciding with when Zen 6 arrives[1]. It doesn't offer a lot of density increase compared to their 3nm process if I understood it correctly but still gives a 10-15% performance/watt boost. Not sure how it will translate to hash rate power though.

Then we had a big jump to the RX series which was 16nm if I recall and I assumed it would be at least another decade when we broke the 10nm barrier but I guess technology advances pretty quickly.
I think one of the reasons is that manufacturing companies define numbers differently. IIRC, Intel claims its 10nm process is comparable to TSMC's 7nm[2], its 7nm is comparable to TSMC's 3nm[3], and so on. Basically, nanometer numbers in a vacuum don't mean much, Intel/TSMC or others can simply change the name and voila, we break another nm barrier. CMIIW.
