It is not surprising that a country that is regarded as "crypto-friendly" is taking steps towards regulating cryptocurrency trading. Last time I heard, Hong Kong plans to implement these regulations by June of this year, and that Chinese companies are showing interest in creating web3 businesses in Hong Kong.

Furthermore, it is not surprising that this fundraising event could be a tactic to maintain their country's reputation as Asia's "crypto hub."

I have had my old Ledger Nano S for almost 2 years before I replaced the OLED screen because the brightness was slowly fading to the point where the display was barely visible[1]. On the other hand, I have had my Trezor One for almost 1.6 years now without any software or hardware issues.

However, the longevity of any hardware wallet on the market still depends on how frequently it is used. Therefore, it is extremely important to always have your seed phrase backed up on secure storage in case something goes wrong or the hardware breaks.

Not pretty sure how the humidity could affect the hardware though..

This is the only guide I used when I first encountered ordinals: https://docs.ordinals.com/introduction.html.

From what I understand, ordinals are essentially serial numbers assigned to satoshis to make them unique and trackable during transactions. However, I came across a post here that suggests ordinals may not be as unique as we think, just can't remember what that thread is...

Currently, I am willing to accept any decision made by the forum administration regarding the restriction of signature campaigns for Bitcoin mixers, even if this is my first time being accepted into the highest-paying mixer signature campaign as of this writing.

The only thing that anyone who is currently advertising mixers can do is to ensure that they are contributing to the betterment of the forum, even though mixing services are a controversial topic that could be perceived as either good or bad.

Time will tell what will happen in the next few weeks or so..

can you share here I just want to know in which post that staff should not participate in mixer campaigns.
You can read the whole context here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5445490.msg61980665#msg61980665

Quote
We (staff) were asked to stop advertising mixing services.

Now I wonder, if the staff aren't allowed to advertise such kind of services, then it is highly likely that we as forum members will eventually become restricted as well. It's just a matter of time where other mixing services will start to withdraw one-by-one  Undecided.

Seems like there is a similar scam ongoing with paxful: https://www.reddit.com/r/paxful/comments/123k9xp/attention_new_scam_in_paxful/

Still, it's not surprising as paxful always had a fair share of negative reviews and full of p2p scammers. This is the official site I think: https://paxful.com/fr.

Just kidding!

Do you still remember what Tommy Shelby from Peaky Blinders said, that everyone is a whore and we just sell different parts of our body? Well, in my case, I am selling my brain to earn money and accumulate BTC. Interestingly, sometimes it's quite the opposite; I sell my BTC for things that I know will only bring me temporary happiness, LOL.

Context: Lapiña’s JML Capital not authorized to solicit investments from the public, says SEC

We're all aware sa Investagrams right? Yan yung trading platform na ginagamit commonly ng mga pinoy pagdating sa crypto and Philippine stock market. Plus, marami na rin silang na-conduct na Investafest na ibinahagi ko rin dito before[1].

Ang kaso mukhang yung isa sa mga founding members ng Investa ay sugarol kaya hindi makapagbayad ng fixed income sa mga naglagay ng pera sa Investment company na ginawa niya LOL! May nagsasabi pa raw na kaya hindi makabayad yan kasi nalugi sa NFT trading[2], from 26 ETH to 0 (2.6M pesos to 0). Link[3] ng proof na sa kanya yung ETH address.

Ang gara lang kasi pucha, parang nag contribute pa ako na makilala yung investagram tapos in the end, may ka-shitan palang gagawin yung isa sa mga founder na ginamit kahit papaano pang front yung Investagram para may mag-invest sa company niya.

Hi @Royse777,

I will be leaving the campaign for week 3 as I have been accepted for another one. Regarding the remaining payment for week 2, it is fine if I do not receive it. You can add it to another member who is going to receive week 3's bonus, or use it as you see fit.

Thank you so much @Royse777 for accepting me from your campaign.

One thing that comes to mind if I ever encounter an aqua business is the saying, "You are not a true fish farmer until you hit your first million".

However, I think it would be more interesting if you could share how you obtained the funds for the renovation, hospital bills, and establishing the aquabusiness. You see, it's hard to determine if these are just made-up stories without any context or explanation. Nevertheless, I appreciate you sharing your achievements."

The reason why I chose a fish farm business for my wife is that I don't see any stress in fish farming except for feeding and water changes.
It easier said than done. From what I know, you'd still need an ample amount of knowledge regarding water chemistry, aqua veterinary, and pipe fitting. Not to mention the need for marketing and maintaining a good supply of fish on your local for your business to become profitable in the long run.
492  Other / Meta / Re: Indian local Board Issue on: March 27, 2023, 02:40:31 PM
The Pilipinas section has also been inactive for months, possibly due to the accusations of a bitcointalk charity scam against cabalism which led to a lack of activity and merit circulation in our local section.

While there have been a few Filipino members who have expressed their desire for a new merit source, I am still guessing that the administrators are hesitant to appoint one, especially since the application of @crwth is still pending.

Mixing services is just a part of many privacy related methods when dealing with bitcoin isn't it?

I mean you still have the option to create your own full bitcoin node[1] to avoid leaking information about your transactions and balances to third parties, avoiding KYC-compliant P2P services, using wallet with coinjoin[2] functionalities and practicing coin control[3].

494  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are you updated about machine learning tecniques that useful to trading? on: March 26, 2023, 02:15:53 PM
Last time I heard, machine learning was being used in "Algorithmic Trading", where trading bots follow your trading strategy religiously and execute orders for you automatically based on the rules you've programmed into the bot (e.g., volume, price, ML models).

I cannot thoroughly explain which ML algorithms out there have the most accuracy in predicting some kind of price action on the financial market, but there are some good resources that explain the use of ML, such as "Advances in Financial Machine Learning" by Marcos Lopez de Prado[1]. This book covers topics such as data structuring, ML research, supercomputing methods, and others that use data science and programming. However, the book can be difficult to understand, especially if you do not have a background in hardcore programming, data science, and statistics.

But here is the caveat: even though using ML models for trading can give you an edge over other traders, you must still remember that there is no mathematical model that can miraculously predict the price action of a certain stock or crypto. Remember that price movements largely depend on billions of individual traders happening in real-time, as well as other fundamental factors such as legal issues, media presence, or perhaps the company's financial status.

At the end of the day, algo trading or using a bot in trading is just a complementary tool that you can use to improve your current trading strategy, and it is obviously not a "cheat" to instantly grow your money. You still need to upskill your analytical and risk management skills.

496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does your country tax your gambling winnings? on: March 26, 2023, 10:43:04 AM
Lucky for us here in the Philippines that we don't have such a law of taxing gambling winnings. If the government decides to tax our winnings then probably most of us will stop gambling or maybe corruption will arise because many will bride the tax collector just to pay small amount as tax.

In our country where cockfighting is legal and some cockfighting enthusiasts will win a couple of million of pesos within a day then that could be huge money for the government.
The taxation of gambling winnings in the Philippines is a subject of debate, as the country's tax code lacks clarity on the matter. However, it is important to acknowledge that all gambling winnings are subject to taxation, and the specific amount owed depends on the type of gambling activity and the total amount won.

As far as I know, if an individual's gambling winnings are below PHP 10,000, they will be required to pay a 10% tax on the earnings, and 20% if however, their gambling winnings exceed PHP 10,000. It's worth noting that if an individual wins at a casino, the operator is responsible for reporting the winnings to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). However, it's unclear what the tax implications are for winnings obtained from offshore casinos.

It's important to mention that small-scale gambling games commonly found in local neighborhoods are exempt from taxes. These include raffles, small-scale lucky draws, and bingo or any other gambling games that can be found on the streets.

If there are any instances of tax evasion, it is likely due to the law not being restrictive enough.

hirap magpa rank up sa international boards
Almost 2 years ako naka gather ng enough merits from being "Member" to "Legendary". I am not saying na nagmamadali ka pero kasi that is normally the amount of days it would take you to rank up. Siguro gagawa ako ng post dito sa local maybe within this week(or kapag sinipag ako) about sa pointers kung paano yung atake sa pag-post sa international boards to make your post interesting to read and not some fucked-up common opinionated post na madalas ginagawa ng karamihan.

di ko nga alam kung na review ba yung sinubmit ko na posts para ma merit or sadyang hindi lang talaga pasok sa standards nila
Tinignan ko, at hindi pasok sa standards ko. Hindi porket may own thread kang ginawa, surebol na may merit kang marereceive. Just like nay other members have said from before, "merit" is subjective.

As I was saying, gagawa na lang ako ng thread dito about posting guidelines na natutunan ko in my stay here for about 5 years. Baka makatulong para maging better poster kayo sa international boards and para hindi na umasa dito sa local. Kasi tama naman talaga yung sinabi ni cabalism from before na hindi na ganon ka-active tong Pilipinas section.

our local board already became inactive, most of the users posting there are just the old ones which I don't find they need Merits and for the new ones, nah.

Si @cabalism13.

Ito yung merit source application niya: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5136481.0
This one right here is his request na kulang yung sMerit na meron siya which is hint na accepted siya as our very first merit source: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5153158.0

And if you are wondering kung bakit siya nawala; Well according to him, there is a lack of evidence[1] as to why there are missing amount of money that have been donated to his bitcoin charity in the past[2]. Nakakapanghinayang lang kasi siya yung nilook-up kong member dito nung "Member" rank pa lang ako :v

Yeah! I currently have my USDT deposit not being displayed on my spot wallet even though I have both received the in-app and email notification that the deposit has been successfully confirmed.

At first, I thought it was a stupid mistake of copying an incorrect address, and then I saw this post which I assume that it must be the cause of deposit issue.

Check the animated chart created by @bitmover, which displays the merit earned by Bitcointalk members from 2018 until the present time. From there you can easily determine which of them belongs to the top 5 merit earners.

Posting each of their profile in the thread would be extremely cumbersome process, no?
