As many mentioned , moving your BTC before claiming forks is the most important.
Then you have to worry about your forked coins, which can be robbed also. The best way is to download a good wallet
No doubt the best wallet to claim forks is Coinomi, as this wallet support almost all the forks that have any value. I am surprised no one mentioned it yet.

Use coinomi Mobile version, which is safer than the desktop version. Older and more established

Maybe some of you should have open minds and see if there is anything of value to add without being worried about money? After all, it is a forum and not illegal to be members on multiple forums

I think it is a ok to participate in more than one forum, ofc. I particularly participate now in Reddit and bitcointalk, and I am very active in both.(and I post for free in Reddit)
However, I didn't discover those forums like you are suggesting"let's see how this forum works. Does it have good discussions?"

I discovered both of them after being redirect from Google searches, then I learned that for many subjects the best source of information was bitcointalk (in bitcoin subjects) and Reddit (for piracy, altcoins, privacy and many other interesting subjects)

Cryptotalk forum discussions are interesting? Maybe some. But bitcointalk looks better. Maybe they should try other niches? Ethereum Technichal discussions for example lacks a good forum.

Paying spammers to spam there is a complete nonsense. Why didn't they hired some established members to post there? They could pay for 500 word posts for example, or for technical support answers, whatever...

Hello Friends,
I am new here and also new to btc mining and trading. i need a guide to grow in here, can anyone please help me with a reliable site where i can gain trading on btc?
Regards  Smiley Smiley

Do you want to mine or trade? You are a bit confused. Mining is something you do to earn coins through your computer and processing power, while trading is something you do on exchanges. They are total unrelated activities, and if you are confused about them I suggest that you don't do any of them.
9205  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitcoin ATM. on: October 28, 2019, 11:55:56 AM

I think there is no space for "later sending money". All transaction must be instant, he can't wait for big price changes can easily lose profits.

Yes, that doesn't even make sense, due to high volatility of bitcoin Price, which could completely change the price of the transactions
9206  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: blockchain.com has good or bad exchange rate? on: October 27, 2019, 08:22:50 PM
I think the best option is to use https://changelly.com, cheap fees as the conversions don't take time[*].
It is better for you not to trust them when it comes to large deposits. There are some cases where problems have occurred so try small money.


[*] block confirmations are related to the network, fees and some technical variables, not the type of wallet or platform you send.

I saw some people having problems here in this forum with changelly few time ago.
You can check here
 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=823207
There are other alternatives such as instaswap and easyrabbit,.

I used already all of those services, and the exchange rate is somehow good for low volume (better than exchanges, as there is no withdrawal fee).

You should compare the rates of all known services and pick one
9207  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Warning ! Don't handover your fund to third party. on: October 27, 2019, 05:27:18 PM
It may sound radical, but it is better not to use some social networks if you are not completely sure of yourself and your actions. While all of these new modes of communication have their advantages, they have also become tools for anyone looking to make easy money. So just imagine people sitting in front of their computers or having a smartphone in their hands and managing to fool people for thousands of dollars in just one day, all because of human ignorance and greed, and the fact that victims are easily accessible online.

If you rob a bank or a store, you are likely to be caught and put in jail. But in the case of online scams, 99% of cases will not be resolved in favor of the victims, so they will lose money and no one will do almost nothing unless it is a million-dollar scam.

Scams are not exclusive to social networks, you can find just as many scams by simply browsing the web and seeing ads and popups, or seeing spam posts on forums. By that logic you could just advice people to stay away from the Internet because it's full of scams, and also don't use phones, because of phishing calls.

Most people are smart enough to avoid them, but there's a small percentage of those who don't and it's inevitable that they will lose money. These people probably don't browse this section, because they are not proactive about their safety, many of them don't even learn from their mistakes.

I agree, social networks are not the problem. I think on social networks it is even harder to get scammed because many users can advice newbies when a service is suspicious, like so many people here in this forum do (and this forum is a social network).

browsing the web and phishing Websites are much more dangerous for newbies imo

I think newbie is a bad term, maybe "naive users" is better lol

That pic doesn't exactly make me all aroused and horny, but knowing that we're all members of the hottest forum on the planet does. 

This forum is really amazing. =D

Getting a 403 on the domain also just as for the image, both on firefox and chrome, but it somehow works on my phone.

I got 403 on fireFox mobile and desktop, but it worked on Brave...

...
Your drawing skills are amazing, I liked your art very much.

I searched for "Drunk fox" on google just to see what I could get, and found this crazy fox holding the bottle like you did. So many other images of foxes on the gallery, they are very nice as well, you might like it. (your fox is much sexier lol)

9209  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How do you like your sig campaign payments. USD vs. BTC on: October 26, 2019, 11:56:49 PM
Dont fool yourself.
If you are getting paid 0.005 BTC a week, and Bitcoin is 10k, or 8k, ir 12k, probably the payment rate will stay the same.
But if price sky rocket to 100k, your payment won't continue 0.005 (maybe only chipmixer campaign will keep payment rates, lol)
But for the rest of the campaigns, it really doesn't make much difference, as they change rates when price change.

I agree with you DiamondCardz, i was beign a dick, sorry for being rude.

Anyway, you were spamming for +1 post, and you know that, because you didn't read anything and just post repeating what was already said and didn't even read the OP, just the title. And you didn't contribute to the discussion, you know that (you didn't even had the  intention to contribute, as you didn't read), this is why it is called spamming.

 But that's does not justify being a dick. I edited the post before you answer, not after.

Let this be a lesson to anyone reading this thread.

Ideally, if you must use a web wallet, use a password manager and 2FA at a minimum. But either a hardware wallet or any form of cold storage on an airgapped device is ideal.

I highly doubt that you'd have willingly stored 25k euros on PayPal, yet you stored 25k euros on something even less respected - unfortunately you will never be able to trace that Bitcoin properly, even if it hasn't been fed through mixers it's unlikely that following the trail will give you any form of a lead.

You woke up this dead topic, and didn't even read it before posting?
He didn't use a web wallet, but in an exchange.

Yeah, he should have set a 2FA, which was already recommended...
9212  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Best / Worst experience in crypto on: October 26, 2019, 05:09:30 PM
Worst experience: I used constantly Cobinhood exchange during the last 2 years. A few months ago Cobinhood became a scam, people cannot widthraw their funds, Telegram chat is blocked and their token (COB) felt to near zero. I always believed this exchange will come back to life, I constantly refused to see the signs indicating it's scam potential and now I'm still stuck there with a few hundred bucks that I won't see them back most probably.

This history repeats itself over and over again with so many different exchanges around the globe. Simple put, don't keep any funds in exchanges. Buy, move to your wallet. Want to sell? Transfer to exchange, sell, withdrawal fiat. Wanna buy again? Transfer fiat to exchange.
I don't understand why people keep funds in those exchanges.

9214  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Fake Security Vulnerability: Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S? on: October 26, 2019, 01:22:45 AM
You did correct. Check official website before doing anything
Personally, I never plug in my hardware wallet, just when I need to do transactions (few times a year).
Never plug it just to install something, you don't need. Your coins are safer away from the computer
9215  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Price of BTC on: October 25, 2019, 08:03:37 PM
The metric is necessary to establish a rational base price. Any deviation from the base price is irrational and shouldn't dominate the market.

I don't know where you heard about this, but that´s not how the market works. Market price works with expectations, not with "rationality"
Also, you can check this famous quote from John Maynard Keynes

"Markets can remain irrational a lot longer than you and I can remain solvent."


9216  Other / Off-topic / Re: Overview on browsers. Which one should we use? Support free web while browsing. on: October 25, 2019, 07:58:15 PM
Firefox latest version is live, Firefox 70, with new Privacy Protections. One more reason to use firefox

https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2019/10/22/latest-firefox-brings-privacy-protections-front-and-center-letting-you-track-the-trackers/

Our push this year has been building privacy-centric features in our products that are on by default. With this move, we’re taking the guesswork out of how to give yourself more privacy online thanks to always-on features like blocking third-party tracking cookies and cryptominers also known as Enhanced Tracking Protection. Since July 2 we’ve blocked more than 450 billion tracking requests that attempt to follow you around the web.
-snip-
But now with growing threats to your privacy, it’s clear that you need more visibility into how you’re being tracked online so you can better combat it. That’s why today we’re introducing a new feature that offers you a free report outlining the number of third-party and social media trackers blocked automatically by the Firefox browser with Enhanced Tracking Protection.

Look at this new report example

It is incredible how many cryptocurrency investors and enthusiasts are using this spyware, Chrome...

No doubt the best browser for privacy and security is Firefox, with some addons installed (Like Ublock origin and HTTPS everywhere)

Take a look at this topic

Every asset price is determined not only by fundamentals, balance of the company, or whatever metric. The price is determined mostly by investors expectations about the future.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/marketsentiment.asp

For example, even if you metric is correct, but there is a strong felling that energy prices will go down, or that bitcoin will be banned in US, the price will fall.
9219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jose Mourinho next Job? on: October 25, 2019, 05:37:22 PM
I found this article about 9 possible destinations for Jose Mourinho

https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/jose-mourinho-news-man-utd-everton-next-job-real-madrid-bayern-munich-psg-tottenham-spurs-borussia-dortmund

He put the odds in the end (his opinion ofc)

Quote
Mourinho next club odds
PSG - 4/1
Bayern - 4/1
Spurs - 5/1
Everton - 8/1
Real Madrid - 9/1
Portugal - 11/1
China (any) - 16/1

So, it looks like PSG and Bayern are the most probable

I doubt your friend is making a decent amount of money.
If the spread between exchanges is big, probably you will be trading in a shady exchange (with low volume, possible financial problems)

So the shady exchanges might have problems and may lose your BTC in the arbitrage, there is a risk
