7721  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [PoS/MN] Gentarium (GTM) | Masternode hosting platform | Shared MN service on: April 12, 2019, 04:43:53 AM
I have noticed that there have been more GTM masternodes come online due to people dumping. You can look at the people dumping as a positive as it gives many people that were looking to buy a GTM masternode a few months ago but couldn't because the price was out of their reach but now they can which is what I think we are seeing here.
It shows two sides:
One, the demands on Gentarium have still been high. Lots of investors eagerly to own Gentarium and tried to collect enough coins for their nodes.
Second, more nodes activated from dumps, might in turn lead to other potential dumps in the future, because masternode investors who bought at previous dumps probably don't have too much reasons to keep holding their coins and they tend to easily to see at lows.

If you have bank accounts or anything that has a value for you on your phone/laptop and you don't want to be very technical, it's better not to connect on public WiFi at all. However if you really need it, just use other browser wherein you don't have your account signed in and don't log in using any of your account; just browse anonymously.
Nowadays, people tend to depends so much on Internet and mobile devices (smartphones, tablets). They felt like their lives will be destroyed and their quality of life will be damaged if they don't have access to Internet within minutes, or hours.
In contrast, their quality of life might become much better, and much healthier if they less connect to Internet and overuse electric devices.

It's not worth the time to join airdrops which 99% of the airdrop you join won't worth you are expecting after you received the tokens which some airdrops requires KYC before you get the token. I've join lots of airdrops before but not getting money (even $1) from the airdrops I joined before.
You are right with your opinion on price of tokens received from airdrops, but I think there are more reasons to stay away from airdrops.
With some KYC-required airdrops, even we should not care about those airdrops because they are risky airdrops from losing our identities to un-known parties that have not had long reputable history.

I thank you for those sites, but I won't try using it now.
Some reasons:
- I don't actually have demand to use it for now (don't have need to download animated images at the moment).
- I will wait to get opinions or confirmations of others on those sites.

By the way, I felt happy to see you (one of my challenge's winners) moved nearly half of your pathway to Full Member.

My computers always installed internet security and updated database. Maybe you raised a good point here about the hidden threats from animated images, and their operational mechanism to spread threats. However, as you said, and as I wanted, I would like to get solutions to check potential threats inside animated images.
I have rarely download animated images, despite of I sometimes like them. If there are ways to check threats in animated images, I might download safe ones after checking.
Well, animated images can be combined with link that may have program that can take information or files after you got redirected to somewhere else that only bring harm in your device like viruses, malwares and more. What I meant about that is an animated images on internet. Some animated images like GIF will take you to a site that will automatic downloading a file that you haven't downloaded. I don't know any solution to this but make sure you update your anti-virus up to date most of the time and avoid clicking any images especially if it is given by a person on real time. It is the same in an animated button that will help you navigate which some will use it in hacking.

Sure. Working hard with real life daily jobs, then using spare money to buy bitcoin, and hold tightly till next two years.
If someone have interests to invest into altcoins, they should only choose top altcoins and stick with them.
In contrast, investing into new-born altcoins or tokens are very risky.
my advice is: buy bitcoin, make an effort to take your money from the bank and buy bitcoin and hold it for 1 year or more years.

You actually made nice recommendations on should-do things in crypto in the year 2019.

Whichever methods you use, you should know how to discover scam projects, or should know places where you can get already identified scam projects.
I don't know that you actually have interests in such topics or not, but I give you some. If you don't need them, maybe others need.

7728  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DOGE] Dogecoin - very currency many coin - v1.10.0 on: April 11, 2019, 01:44:40 PM
If you have been in crypto market for too long, you should know that in 2017, Dogecoin crashed fastly two times within 24 or 48 hours. It crashed from around 100 satoshis to 25 to 40 satoshis (somewhere around that range, I don't remember, honestly). I did not luckily setup buy orders and bought Dogecoin with those crashes, but it still good to had such experience with crypto market, especially with Dogecoin.
Interestingly, such terrible crashes occur within bull market.
I agree, in reality it could drop to such low level if a heavy crash occurs but I doubt it will fall to an all time low. This is one of the resilient coin in crypto verse that is able to survive in this very volatile market.

I think Parmanent Banned account recover chance very low ...its not easy  
There are chances to come back, sure, but it is hard and the owner of the banned account has to prove that over the account history in the forum, he or she actually contribute good things to the forum. That is obviously not the case of such very young account (created on 30th March 2019).
Personally, I don't see opportunity for the account.
There's been no policy change. redsn0w wasn't permanently banned due to several factors which made me think that permabanning him would be a net negative for the forum. Nobody is banned strictly because of "the rules"; it's always handled case-by-case, but almost always, plagiarists deserve to be permabanned.

If you think that a ban should be ended, make your case in a new topic from a "good for the forum as a whole" perspective.

This market isn't going anywhere, it's here to stay. Not a big deal It's a slow progress but rather It's begin moving that's a good sign. It's just a matter of time at the moment whether this positive pattern truly influences the eth price and I'm pretty sure that it will happen soon.
FOMOers basically don't want to accept that fact. The current situation we have seen is the same as when the market had to find its bottom months ago. Both takes time, months or even longer. It took months to find bottom, then gradually rallied from it, and caught attention of investors as well as the flow of capital. Now, part of investors took profits already, and they still waited for chances to get back. The cycle repeats again, even that we have been in better phase, recoveries, not bottom findings.
7731  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The used of Bitcoin in Africa on: April 11, 2019, 05:59:00 AM
In a nutshell, there are some barriers for the growth of crypto in Africa:
- Lack of Internet Connections.
- Low general level of Education.
- Internal conflicts (civil wars, for instance).
- Low level of income and lack of fundamental things of human lives.
However, as the fact of human civilization, where difficulties exist, there also have lots of gains in the future. People have to fight for their lives, and their efforts will make big changes. As the saying goes, "no pain, no gain". I strongly believe that the Africa continent will play important role in the crypto world map in the next coming decades.

Binance has a good article on this: https://www.binance.vision/security/why-public-wifi-is-insecure

Some of the recommendations they listed:
Quote
- Turn off any setting that allows your device to connect automatically to available WiFi networks.
- Turn off file sharing and log out of accounts you are not using.
- Use password-protected WiFi networks wherever possible. When there is no option but to use a public WiFi network, try not to send or access sensitive information.
- Keep your operating system and antivirus updated.
- Avoid any financial activity while using public networks, including cryptocurrency transactions.
- Utilize websites which use the HTTPS protocol. Keep in mind, however, that some hackers perform HTTPS spoofing, so this measure is not entirely foolproof.
- Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is always recommended, especially if you need to access sensitive or business-related data.
- Be wary of fake WiFi networks. Do not trust the name of the WiFi just because it is similar to the name of a store or company. If in doubt, ask a member of the staff to confirm the authenticity of the network. You may also ask if they have a secured network you could borrow.
- Turn off your WiFi and Bluetooth if you are not using. Avoid connecting to public networks if you do not really need it.
You give me great tips to secure my life when connect to Internet. By the way, I would like to ask you and others that how to secure and stay safely from animated images? I read somewhere else that such animated images have higher security risks on static images. Does it right? If yes, how to stay safe from animated images when my friend send them to me?
7733  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: {Facts} Benefits of promoting (joining) a quality paid signature campaign. on: April 11, 2019, 05:21:48 AM
Gives opportunity to make friends:
Know each other well, maybe, but to become real friends is unrealistic. Sometimes, I got help from others, keeping contacts through PMs, but to call the kind of relationship is friendship, I don't think so.
It is far from friendship. Anyway, it's right that joining high quality campaigns help participants know each other well, and might help each other over time. Because participants will easily know that others in campaigns they joined are most likely not scammers, or something like that. People will change over time, but it is one of the benefits of joining high quality campaigns.

One member was removed which allowed me to move up the people that had ranked up in all ranks. Hopefully it should off-set it enough to have no effect on the budget.
I thank you for allowing my chance to move up to the category of Senior Member participants, that means I will get payments with higher rate. Honestly, I waited for such promoted day like today for nearly three or four weeks.

Today, when I checked the spreadsheet first, I got shocked because I did not see my name in the spreadsheet (the Full Member category). Due to I did not check your post in the topic before the spreadsheet, and I did not think I was moved to Senior category.
You nearly bet me out, Hhampuz.  Tongue

The topic you shared already listed there:
If the OP or someone known other topics on scam identification methods, scam lists, etc. you should report it to the topic creator to add it to his collection.
Using money to invest and get scammed is one of the worst thing for investors. Additionally, scammed efforts somehow destroy reputation of general crypto ecosytem, and we should contribute to wipe out as many scam projects as possible out of our favorite forum.

Broadcast transaction is much safer than directly send coins from wallet. I have heard about the way to move bitcoin with Electrum, but I have never tried using it.

7738  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Solid Reasons to Invest in Cryptocurrencies in 2019 on: April 08, 2019, 11:27:48 PM
We already hit the bottom and we survive from it.
It is one of key points. If someone really have reasons to invest in crypto previous months or years, they should have clear and solid reasons to invest in crypto this year when the market already bottomed out, and rallied well from its bottoom.
Another plus point to decide investing in crypto is the coming halving of bitcoin in May of 2020.
Generally, I don't see reasons to stop me to invest in crypto, especially this year.
7739  Other / Meta / Re: List of Bitcointalk stats on: April 08, 2019, 11:07:07 PM
I need to have another look at it tomorrow, it's late here and honestly, I don't get really the message of your stats.  Cheesy
Maybe I will add more description for my topic.
At first, I wrote it shortly without detailed explanation on interquartile range and median, because those terms mentioned in my merit analysis for moths.
So, with this one, I splited it from my old topic, and simply focused on observation of the interquartile range and median changes over weeks.

In short, again, interquartile range represents for 50% of observed data points.
For instance, if you have 100 data points (100 days over weeks), the interquartile range will represents for 50 datapoints in the 'middle range', that ranges from the 25th quartile to the 75th quartile. Interquartile range has its role to exclude outliers, such as maximum, minimum and some extreme large and small data points closely with max and min.
In the same way, median represents nearly the true mean (average) of observed data. It is better than what we usually use, mean or average.
Both median and interquartile range exclude effects from outliers.
I hope that the post help you have clearer understanding on my topic's objectives.  Tongue

LTC is older than ETH, but it's still only a fork of bitcoin, nothing else. On the other hand, Ethereum is still under severe development and has active support of big organisations, so it looks like it has a brighter future than litecoin.
Nothing else, I don't think so, fella. I don't think you should compare like this.
Each one has its own fucntions and roles in crypto as welll as in real life. If we did not have Litecoin, we would have not seen the Segwit and Lightning Network on Bitcoin network, or will see it much later.
Ethereum has its own key roles for crowdsale ecosystem, and it plays as a back bone for crowdsale ecosytem.
