Here's an interesting read from Theymos in response to Rep. Patrick McHenry's recent comments on CNBC. An excerpt: In the US I think it's very likely that someday soon a little provision will be tucked into a must-pass bill at the last minute requiring reporting all BTC holdings via FBAR. After that, while there's currently no momentum whatsoever for it, it'd be a fairly simple matter to someday say "turn over your bitcoins, which we know you have, or go to jail" (or "we can prove you have bitcoins, but you didn't report it, so you go to jail").
Interesting discussion. But I don't with theymos in this one. I think US government has more elegant ways to attack bitcoin. For example, just put some heavy regulation on all crypto exchanges, including coinbase, in a way that their business model will become not profitable or unsustainable in long term. Brazil government is very good in this field (LOL). They could also prohibit merchants of accepting any kind of cryptocurrency. Facebook Libra opened this discussion on regulations, speeding up discussions that would take years otherwise. Let's see where will it go But I believe US government will not be so harsh on bitcoin for now, as US is still a country where some libertarian ideas are respected. More authoritarian and economic repressive countries are probably going to act first against bitcoin IMO (China, Russia, Brazil, India, as those governments/politicians really want to have full control over economy.). |

Most users don't even read the posts they are replying too, so I think it is possible that some of those people who applied didn't make any kind of research before applying, just looked at the payment and applied.
Of course, they are doing this on their own risk of getting tagged or damaging their reputation.
Also, as Hhampuz, a reputable manager, was managing the campaign before, and he gives the campaign credibility (even for the new one). Few people ever read Reputation board, so they probably do not know what happened.
A user could have been rejected by Hhampuz, and he saw an opportunity to join now this new campaign.

So the thread is likely to get deleted...
Archived, just in case. Flag supported, as it is obvious a pyramid scheme. Sad to see so many people still getting scammed in those schemes.. |

Não seria melhor redirecionar o usuário pra página original de cada notícia ao invés de só copiar ela e usar no seu site? Você não acaba "roubando" o trafego desses sites? Acho que algo tipo o Google News seria melhor (agregas as notícias, que são lidas em seus respectivos sites).
Concordo. Isso de repente pode gerar um problema no futuro, será que não? tipo um "plágio"? Acho que o tráfico principal deve ser na sua página de entrada mesmo... e você já falou que não monetiza com ads, nem precisaria desse trafego extra. Além disso, as notícias podem sofrer atualizações no original e não serem replicadas no seu site. |

Muito bacana ver uma campanha de assinaturas pagando legal na aba BR! Boa alegotardo! Ops. Não deu nem tempo de eu me inscrever. Não precisam de um legendário autentico  Sinceramente, eu estava esperando o dia inteiro ver sua inscrição aqui. Mas vou ver se o admin aceita... te colocar no rank de Sr. se não aparecer ninguém até o final do sábado. Caso queira, manifeste sua vontade. Paredao, não fica nessa campanha da Livecoin não. Essa exchange esta dando problema, e a Livecoin está sendo marcada como scam no forum todo. Dê uma olhada. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5167034.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5166722.0 |

I don't think they should be tagged. However, anyone who applies is damaging his own reputation here, which is the most valuable thing anyone has here.
As yahoo62278 said, he will be blacklist them or remove from his campaigns... Nothing good will come to people who advertise that campaign.

I would recommend everybody to use another wallet, I'm already using Electrum, my BTC there is safe. Stop giving web wallets a chance, I knew I was probably making a mistake but I thought that since the blockchain.info wallet is probably the oldest it is probably safe. It is not.
Hello alastori. You made the correct decision, and you are using now a safer wallet. However, we are all humans, and we are susceptible of making mistakes. If you make a mistake, such as using a not updated browser or clicking in a phishing or virus or whatever, your funds will be compromised using Electrum. There are various sophisticated phishing, such as asking for update inside the electrum software with a phishing link. Hardware Wallets are a cheap solution. Ledger nano s costs about 60 USD (buy only from ledger.com, never from any third party, because it may be compromised). A hardware wallet is like 99.9% safe, the risks are minimum and you will basically only lose money if a hacker has physical access to the device. It is worth. I use it, and I recommend it to everyone. |

For some reason you are against hardware wallets, but if OP is using one we would not have this thread and he would still have 1 BTC.
In the end, that is all that matters. Ledger nano S costs now about 60 USD, or 0,006 btc (can't see the price in USD, only in my local fiat, but the conversion is close to that). A very small investment for some peace of mind. I see no problem in paying trusted professionals to deal with security of my private keys (while I am the only one who holds them). I am not a pro and I am more likely to make a mistake than ledger professionals. |

The problem with exchanges is the lack of strict regulations, and usually you are sending your money to other countries with different laws which you probably do not understand and/or have difficult to reclaim your rights. Especially cryptoxcrypto exchanges, which are usually physically located in remote locations with convenient laws (for them).
There are very strict laws and regulations on banks, which give us more safety and some warranties that banks will not run away with our money. Those laws/regulations are not so strict on cryptocurrencies exchanges, so they can run away with our money easier.
The best practice is to always keep your funds out of exchanges. Do not leave any money there. Always move it to your wallet, no matter how much you are paying in withdrawal fees.

Imo the most important is not the trading fees or withdrawal fees or whatever those points you mentioned. The most important is the reputation, especially in forums such as Reddit and bitcointalk.
Do they hold funds hostage ? Do they demand kyc to withdrawal? Were they hacked in the pas?t how did they deal with that?
Security always first.

Someone is pretending as LedgerHelp on Reddit and posting link to fake tool for seed checking, and we all know that seed words should be only entered in Ledger device or in some other (trusted) hardware wallet.
This. Pasting or writing your seed anywhere but in the ledger device or in a piece of paper defeats the whole purpose of a hardware wallet. The idea is to keep your 24 seed always offline, away from any online environment This scam attempt is very dangerous as it really looks like to be legit (from www.ledger.com website). It is sad to see scammers attempting to exploit user's lack of knowledge... |

Why don't you try to update your software? The last version is 3.3.8
Download the new version at electrum.org (never from another website)

That's why gaming DApps on Steem or popping up constantly, because they have zero-fee transactions and 3 second confirmation times.
I'm currently playing Splinterlands there and it's a very smooth experience, way better than any game I've ever played on the ETH chain.
But yeah, we're currentlynot yet at a level where they can compete with AAA titles, far from it.
How can a zero fee model work? The network would be vulnerable to ddos attacks (one of the purposes of the fees is to secure the network against ddos attacks). What about mining incentives?. Imagine every full node having to store zero fee transactions, which will be much more than necessary (because they are free). This will impact decentralization and the whole point of Dapps. Well, maybe I am wrong, but I can see how a zero fee model will work in a decentralized plataform. I will try to read something about that to see what am I missing. |

I believe the problem with gaming in DApps is the cost.
Imagine having to pay for each transaction in Eth, for example. Even if it is 0,001 usd, it´s not in the culture of gamers to pay for playing, only in very restrict gaming niches.
It will be hard to compete with ps4 games, for example. And is decentralization really important in gaming industry?
