741  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What area of bitcoin participation is easiest to work with? on: September 07, 2020, 11:43:38 PM
The money that you would use for mining would be better spent on buying Bitcoin and holding it as the cost of equipment and electricity isn't cheap. From what I hear mining has become harder because more people are mining and because of that less Bitcoins are found.
Investment or buying bitcoin is the easiest way to participate in cryptocurrency. Day trading too would be possible but bitcoin market is so hard to predict this is why I think it is difficult to earn in bitcoin with trading in it.

I cannot recommend bitcoin mining because there are already establish mining pool and as I read a thread abouy mining that having 1-2 GPU is not really worth it and rewarding in bitcoin mining because of these mining pools that could easily mine bitcoin due to the larger pools that could process whenever it is needed. Mining is not really recommended nowadays, Just focus on bitcoin imvestment and that is good to go.

Yes, government can track records of the cryptocurrency userd through banks. Banks had always a record in their system to which authority coulr ask for it if necessary.

However, government will usually trace people that has hold position in the government that has also questionable wealth. This can lead to investigate the wealth of that official but of course it will follow a certain protocol like requesting for a certain investigation that could lead inquiry to bank account statement with the owner knowledge.

But most corrupt government official do not hold money in their bank and they use different names or letting it hold for someone close to them.

Well, the interest to have bitcoin is not limited even to the blind or whatever disability that one has can't stop the interest to have bitcoin.

However,  people with disabilities had different priorities or needs and that will depend on their interest of things that could make them living a  good life. These type of people should be given chances to make things comfortable for them especially if they themselves are doing for their own and not being dependent to anyone.

I have seen person with disability at the same time a bread winner. Shame on those who scam and did not make their own living as like what these disabled person do. People who are scam are worst than disabled person.

Low volume currency , they can easily manipulate the price by giving fake trades and increase the price that way. Its not an honest trading views this just manipulated by owner or one of the supply holders so they can exit with high profit selling it to other traders.

No legitimate currency can give that profit in a day only shit coins do that.
So sad that even altcoins now can be manage just to put them high profit. Why not run the crowdfunds instead? If this could be the reason then there is nothing good with cryptocurrency. I admit that cryptocurrency has unique system especially when it comes market price movement.

Anyway, I.hope that this is not true. I may exagerrate this reply but yes this really look bad if coins will be manipulated. There is no way that crowd will going to invest anmymore because of these manipulation activities in their own coins.

That is one good thing that happen with bitcoin despite of the abuses that has drag bitcoin into scam. After seeing the photo I was happy that at least someone with extra resources able to share it back to the needed.

I am also interested to join in this kind of tribute to the needs. I want to give them an oppotunity to earn by providing livelihood. I guess this is better than giving them foods. I do believe in the qoute that says.

Nice game by the Lakers, Rockets came back in the 3rd quarter but the Lakers had a good run in the 4th quarter.
The series is tied now, this is getting more exciting for the fans of both teams.

Again Westbrook was quite missing in the offensive end, his awful shooting is at display again tonight.

Westbrook shoots 4-15, 1 of 7 from 3 point line, this guy has no range in that area, why keep shooting?
At last my bet wins against houston though I support the houston with harden and westbrook looking for a championship but due to lakers really a strong team then this is the reason why I bet for lakers. However,  if in the series houston will going to win in this match then I can go to bet in houston. KD has already won championship and became MVP, they are former teammates in the OKC team before that almost win the championship game but it did not happen. Now, these two players I think will going to make it happen and this could be done in this season beating up lakers.
748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Problem Gambling in the wake of covid-19 on: September 07, 2020, 04:35:13 AM
In this pandemic problem, many people want to make money in any way and even if it is wrong or they can harm themselves, they do not care and only to survive or support their families.
in the country where I live where cases that should not be done but done for the sake of survival and various reasons for making money because of losing their job and difficulty earning income due to government regulations make it difficult for them to earn income.
including real or traditional gambling which is carried out secretly because it is prohibited but is carried out because it is considered to be quick to make money and is finally caught and jailed, very detrimental to oneself but is a last resort even if the risk is great and can make it suffer.
Probably that is the last resort they did because they do not have option anymore to live and survive. This is why the incidents and crime associated to it is because of poverty. If only opportunitynis given to all there could be lesser crimes that will going to happen.

This is almost the same here in our country. It made worst where they used children to proceed with the transaction because children are not liable to it and they are protected by law to which they can't get into prison. This abuses will lead to more serious problem in the future with these children involvement in crime.
749  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Micah - Sept 26 on: September 07, 2020, 04:18:56 AM
Duke Micah doesn't have one punch knock out power as Casimero has and he is a not a tactical boxer either he is just go and box boxer I don't see Micah a threat to Casimero unless John Riel relaxes and underestimate Micah, but if he goes through it like what he did to Tete he can knock Micah out and finish the fight in a spectacular fight like what he did to TeTe.
Casimero is a great knock out puncher with his power punch he could have a huge chance to knock out his opponent. Sad to say his opponent is not that good and we can speculate the strategy that he will going to apply against a strong fighter. Running is the best option to win in this match like Mayweather did and a calculated punch that will outscore Casimero. However, If I am able to bet i  this bout then I will go for Casimero. He has the advantage over his opponent and I think he is also the choice of majority.

Last but not least, if you already have your husband/ wife/ children, you should let such info into one of them, just in case when you get unexpected accident. It does not make sense for any of your time, efforts to collect BTC -- from trading, investment, but at the ends you can neither get financial benefits from it nor your loved ones.

Risks of using third-party softwares, especially pirated/ hacked softwares are pointed out by @DdmrDdmr. You should have a warning for such risks at beginning of your OP.
Yes, I am pretty aware of it but this is just the last resort since I have left no option but to recover the files that was deleted. Thank you for the insights for I have just realize how important to back up the docs that I should need. I agree too that being careful in the internet for malware attack. Anyway, i tried already uninstalling the application after I recover the data needed.
751  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Data file recovery on: September 06, 2020, 10:20:29 PM
Nice information given so far to the benefit of users and how sure are you that wondershare is a perfect one. I have come across many lost data file discovery mechanisms that functions the same as the one explained.
How about recovering lost data from a phone after a file mistakingly got deleted? I have been a victim of user that deleted a file containing my private keys in a phone, Is there a possibility of recovering that file using wondershare or any available mechanisms?
USB and other external drive or saving device could be recover. I think it will because phone has also its storage or saving device. Just connect your phone and scan. I think it could get the deleted data of your phones.
It's quite good that you share this information and this will be very useful if you happen to delete your seed phrase, keys and other wallet information because wondershare can recover deleted files. Anyway, I have something to add in this guide about recovering the lost data. Before recovering just make sure to use the other local drive or hard disk to store the restored files. If the files that you recover is in local disk C then better save it on local disk d.
I am not pretty sure if it really needed to that like installing the set up to a different partition or hard drive. I am not really always using the application and this was the second time I run the set up and always work successful. Anyway, next time I will try to do the advise but hopefully no more important files to be deleted.
Can we use the full recovery options even in a standard version? I mean, most recovery programs can dig to your files but you need to pay premiums (although there might be crack versions already available on the internet but needs time to search for legit and working)?
No, there is no a full recovery option in the set up. It will only work on selected a certain drive to recover and has limited size of files (MB) to recover and even in the newer version still no full recovery option.
752  Other / Beginners & Help / For your ready reference on data file recovery on: September 06, 2020, 12:15:29 PM
I am not certain that this could be helpful but I would like to share what had happen to the deleted document that I save in my laptop on the details of my digital wallet for bitcoin like the seed phrase, private and public keys, and to altcoin digital wallet as well specifically the MyEtherWallet.

My Laptop was so slow and decided to reformat the system and I was not careful to back up the data save in it includes the digital wallet details. I thought I am going to lose some of my funds to which some of it store in the online wallets and exchange wallet ready to trade.
However, I remember a certain application that I bought before that could recover deleted files. I know where the files located because I have always access those files every trade I made so what I am doing is to recover the said files in the partition drive of my laptop.

How did I recover it?

I was using the wondershare data file recovery. I never thought that it was still working because this application was an old version. The new version of this application could be downloaded in this link https://recoverit.wondershare.com/data-recovery.html  as I made a quick search in Google.  
I look into my external drive and look for the application to start it installing and run the setup. I have made some screenshot and this is what happen after installing the program.

Three methods of Data Recovery

Quote
Smart Recovery - This way will automatically find your deleted and lost files. This type of recovery will take a long time, but it should be tried first in most cases.

Common Recovery - You can choose the recovery mode according to the different case you lost files.

Advanced Recovery - If above ways cannot find your lost files, you can try this way.

1. I chose the common Recovery Method because I know where to locate the files since it was reformatted. See screenshot below.



2. Selecting the path that the files located and to be recovered then proceed to scan.



3. Scan the selected path to recover the file. One may optionall stop scanning if folders are found and the check the box and proceed to recover.



4. Recover selected folder and choose the location where files to be saved.



5. Locate the folder of recovered files.



6. File obtain and recover. My funds now are being back up and kept safe in USB and external drive.



Note: Windows defender should be turn off during the installation because this is considered as malware where it will going to breach the microsoft windows system that will be detected and get deleted. You can turn it on after the installation of the said application. However, the new version of wondershare data recovery file is more user friendly and you can check their link https://recoverit.wondershare.com/data-recovery.html
Update:
Before recovering just make sure to use the other local drive or hard disk to store the restored files. If the files that you recover is in local disk C then better save it on local disk d.
An important note. The data can be recover provided its not overwritten. I once spend hours writing a script then accidently overwritten it with a new script, no data recovery software could ever recover it. Ouch. Cry

753  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are we cheated by some good altcoins? on: September 06, 2020, 03:48:19 AM
This is a dying coin why does this come still in top 150 currencies?This is a Hype coin from 2017 as i remember it right because my Friend come to invest
In this and reaching the Market Cap so he and other investors and even the Bounty Hunters make good money in this project.
But months after the listing i believe that this started to soar and fell down very low that it is almost dead.
Now that i read this thread i visited the listing and yeah you are correct it was listed in top 150 rankings.
There are more of these coin in the market that are actually no project or not really working as long as it was being put to exchange for trading. As the result more users are selling their crypto to avoid having a shitcoins with dead project and no value at all. I can sense that some of the team or group lead the crowdfunding activities run away together with the money because there were no regulations for these and the result people likely to scam this is why I never wanted to invest in an ICO project or any crowdfunding activity.
754  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What Is Really Happening To The Market? on: September 06, 2020, 03:43:15 AM
I don't see bad news that will trigger a huge drop to $5 k it's unrealistic at this point we should not talk about a huge drop like the dump by the miners as a serious one, this happens from time to time and has happened so many times in the past, people are very quick to create panic it will likely to settle next week.

This is just normal. cryptocurrency is volatile and a user should know about it when they join cryptocurrency. Yes, down trend may be a pain to see when all we wanted is having a good market for cryptocurrency but then again this is the world of cryptocurrency that we have to adjust. Newbies do like to get worried on this downtrend but for those who were here in the past few 2 years or more been actually seeing a normal phenomenon.

No need to worry everything can bounce back may it take long weeks months or even years. Just keep calmand hold your crypto to avoid losses.
755  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will the need to increase BTC's max supply arise in the future? on: September 06, 2020, 03:37:49 AM
Yes, bitcoin is still bitcoin and the community will no longer support it and those who make the amount of bitcoins increase will no longer be trusted. Increasing the number of bitcoins is worse than a 51% attack, it will pull the value of bitcoin to zero. I think if the DEV team is going to do so, then Satoshi Nakamoto will appear again and prevent that from happening.
I think it could still be possible by having an announcement first to all the bitcoin users of their plan. It could be arrange actually by having another bitcoin v.2 that will be merge to bitcoin v.1 when both crypto will have the same market price. We can expect a good supply after it will be merged. However, I am not sure if this will work and only the bitcoin dev can say something about merging if its possible.
756  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Patience above all will be rewarded here on: September 06, 2020, 03:33:59 AM
BTC will hit $100k... is just a matter of time. Gov does not like cash, every year there are more regulations for cash with the goal to eliminate it. When that arrive, people will start using bitcoin as the new cash.
Do not get too hype in this speculation you made. Probably it will going to happen and that would be in the future. However, I am sensing a different way why bitcoin will reach to higher market price and that is the love for ever users around the world of investment. Bitcoin can be also considered as investment. There are many things that could trigger users to invest like it is easy to earn just by waiting the right time to sell after buying bitcoin in cheaper price as much as possible.
757  Economy / Economics / Re: PornHub now accepts Bitcoin and Litecoin (News coincides with BTC decline?) on: September 06, 2020, 03:30:04 AM
Now it is time to get hardcore in porn. LOL, yeah any guy could love to watch porn and there are many videos that are free anyway. However, there could be more excitement getting a VIP the privilege of videos that are really great to watch. Due to identity issue of course not all like to get verified so by doing cryptocurrency payment then this would fit in watching porn getting vip privilege as anonymous.

I have also see article regarding pornhub announcement on 2018 accepting stable coin (USDT) and other altcoins. I just forget the crypto they mention.

Alright, thank you for this link and I do hope that it will be easy to install and set up bitcoin mobile wallet. I will check which suggested wallet could be a user friendly or to which I am comfortable to use. However, I may try to use them in the future.

I agree with BitMaxz... go with Mycelium, Electrum... or maybe Samourai.

Ok thank you for this link provided. Playstore is accessible to android phones which I am using android phone. I hope I will not get any technical problems in the installation.

759  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is here to stay on: September 05, 2020, 06:24:09 AM
in some form of the other, yes. Even if it's value goes to 0 there'll also be a recorded history of it on the blockchain, so technically it's built to last forever. The bet however is that it's here to stay AND has value down the line, which I'm sure it will have even 20 years from now.
I am not technically inclined with blockchain and bitcoin to how the transfer works, records and how miners confirm transactions but one thing that I am certain is that btc will not going to end technically because the dev can possibly make an upgrade to the system. Bitcoin may going to end but probably because of regulations and other things that bitcoin has been drag into crimes. For now, it would be hard for the authority to shut down bitcoin system.because it has already establish and community wanted it to which authority could listen to the consumers.
760  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Help with wallet and address distribution needed on: September 05, 2020, 06:05:47 AM

This has nothing to do with lightening network.
Exchanges store all bitcoins in their own wallet and only display a number as balance for each of their users. Exchanges can allow user A to send user B some fund without making a real transaction.

Let's say users A and B each have 1 BTC on an exchange and user A wants to send user B 1 BTC. Since the fund of both users are stored in the exchange wallet, there is no need to send bitcoin on the blockchain. So, the exchange decreases balance of user A to zero and increases balance of user B to 2 BTC.

Keep in mind that, those who keep their bitcoins on an exchange are not the real owner of those bitcoins.
Ok this make sense why one should not store btc in an exchange. And it is best to have a bitcoin wallet itself which generate bitcoin public key and its private key and can add public key to that certai  wallet. The seed phrase of wallet is one of the important feature of thar wallet that should not be lost. Anyway, OP should not force everyone to join cryptocurrency. The blame will going to put in him especially in this high risk investment that will have the chances lose in it. I can't handle someone blame me because I was the one introduces the bitcoin which let them failed.
