261  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A shot at portfolio re-organisation on: April 11, 2019, 01:32:28 PM
I believe that the best way to organize a portfolio is to understand that each project belongs to one sector. So I do not think it's worth to bet on many projects in a single industry, as they end up being direct competitors.

For example, I bet on Cardano ADA in the platforms sector. I believe it's a project with a potential greater than some of the competitors like NEO and EOS. But I also bet on Ethereum, although I believe in a smaller return. I believe in Monero as a bet for anonymous coins. It seems to be the only project really anonymous and as tough as Bitcoin. I believe in 0x as an excellent solution for DEX. Kyber and OMG also look like good projects in this sector

I can buy $200 worth of BTC using Payoneer. We can deal using an Escrow, maybe @darkstar_ if he accepts and I will pay his fee, or you can send first to me. I will not send first as Payoneer can NOT be reverse.

264  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-04-05] How Crypto Miners help launder money on: April 11, 2019, 04:27:54 AM
It does not make much sense to use something like that for money laundering. Money laundering needs to leave the after-washed resource not only untraceable, but that is the fruit of something simple to be explained.

This obtained resource, even if it is technically possible to explain to a judge, would leave several doubts. It's much simpler fake orders in an exchange or an investment in a fake project.
265  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: 2 years in jail for illegally selling hundreds of thousands in Bitcoin on: April 11, 2019, 12:03:22 AM
Im still trying to understand what it was "money laundering" in what he did.

He took money from people he did not know, that He did not know about how they got the money or what kind of business they have. He bought Bitcoins with that money, got 5% and put it in his pocket, and handed the Bitcoins to these people.

He also went the other way. Taking Bitcoins and handing over money.

The main question should be, why did these people pay 5% to Him? That's money laundering. It does not matter whether he knew it or not. But these people who negotiated with him were interested in hiding the sources of their resources.
266  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: the new model of fundrising is IEO on: April 10, 2019, 10:37:20 PM
As far as I remember, Kucoin was the first one to offer IEO (correct me if I am wrong.)
~snip~
How about Yobit Cheesy
ICOs on their Exchanger


IEO is not just an ICO that had tokens sold by exchanges. It is necessary that the project has undergone some kind of verification of the exchange and it will offer some guarantees for those who acquire part of the project. Exchange tokens such as the BNB could perhaps be considered an IEO. And they were released longer than this token.

Edit.: BNB is from 2017-07-07. So I am not so sure Tongue
267  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Wall Street Journal published fake news about size of ICO market! on: April 10, 2019, 10:28:15 PM
I believe that in a week this number can be reported as 1 billion. The point is that the values will always vary according to the moment the reporter uses to set the value. If there is a rule to report the dollar amount at the time of ICO's completion or something like that, there may be a match.

In addition, it should be noted which ICO were used to reach these numbers.

Eu estou bem perdido nesse momento. Entre 3K e 5k eu nem titubiava sobre a ideia que iria subir. Mesmo com diversas pessoas dizendo o contrario, tirando graficos e tal. Mas agora, sei lá. Do nada essa subida pro $5400. Será que pula até os 6k? Ao menos testa? Ou chegará uma mega correção?
269  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Bitcoins in wallet, but Electrum Wallet won't connect. on: April 10, 2019, 08:09:30 PM

Ok, please make sure to re enable everything again.
And verify the signature of the file you have downloaded. That's the only way to make sure you have downloaded the correct wallet and not some malware.



As has been suggested twice, check your files next time before installing. It's not that complicated. On windows just follow this tutorial.

The reason for reinforcing this request is that the DDos attack is related to attempted attacks involving infected files on cloned websites.
270  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: AGAIN: China says it wants to eliminate bitcoin mining on: April 10, 2019, 07:27:46 PM
I do not believe that today the impact of this news can affect as much as it could have affected in the past. In 2017, rumors were that they would banish it altogether. Strangely at that time the price only increased, of course, motivated by several other factors.

By 2017, China had a crucial role in all aspects involving Bitcoins. It was the largest producer of mining hardware. They were where the biggest miners were concentrated. It had large exchanges that were responsible for a considerable slice of world volume.

We had some drops at that time, and then we had significant highs.

Today the entire mining structure can be easily transported. The equipment can get a little more expensive if produced in another country, but it is unlikely that they will ban the production of it. The price impact, if any, will be minimal.
271  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Anyone knows whats going on with Bitcoinwisdom? on: April 10, 2019, 04:57:48 PM
For some time now the website was being managed almost automatically. Without any kind of update. Exactly when speculation began about the ban on the Chinese market, the site stopped updating some of its functions. And now there seems to be some simple problem, but since no one is managing, no one has fixed it yet.

It is difficult to abandon the habit of visiting bitcoinwisdom. It is a simple site, which takes up little memory and requires few resources of the computers. Most other sites offer several features, but most of the time, they are unnecessary features.

But as it happened with preev, they must correct the defect and the site will re-operate correctly in a few days. Meanwhile, tradingview, with bitstamp graphics, and https://cryptowat.ch seem to me to be the best alternatives.
272  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How does USDT wallet change our live? on: April 10, 2019, 02:08:56 PM
You are looking for a wallet where your USDT can earn interest. That does not exist. USDT is not a currency. There is no lending market using USDT, nor banks or financial operators. USDT is only a currency used by exchanges to facilitate transactions.

But there are several other stable coins projects where you can earn interest. One of the main ones is the DAI. Where you can profit from DAI or ETH.

https://makerdao.com/en/

DAi uses what is called collateralized debt positions (CDPs). They are smart contracts that allow you to borrow or receive a loan.
273  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What about this method its safe ? on: April 10, 2019, 03:27:51 AM
The funny part is that the forum has several options for you to promote a website. There is no need for posts like this. However, they are becoming more and more common. And this format of a newbie asking about an unknown site begets more doubts than explanations. It generates more mistrust than trust.

So if you want to promote your website, your service. Do it clearly. Tell who you are and what you want with your website. If you do not, it will always be considered a scam.
274  Economy / Speculation / Re: Whales are back ? on: April 10, 2019, 03:12:03 AM
Volume has been increasing since last week..is thia sign of whales entered into the market?

Call them whales if you see a graph like this:


Or if the price goes over $10k, another way is just a market fluctuation and be careful because it can crash back to $4k any time.

Cardano ADA has many new features coming up. So it is expecting that people will try to pile up their coins. Altcoin should be seeing more in the BTC pair, and because of that, every project that has something new will receive more attention. But it is the price of Bitcoin that is going up.
275  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Saving your private key in your email is a lethal move on: April 09, 2019, 09:31:32 PM
Emails are completely unsafe for something like that. But it is necessary that at some point we have some kind of online solution to save a key. It may be just one, of multiple keys needed to open a wallet.

There are several reasons and times that you may have to see yourself completely away from several of your physical assets. As well as wallets, usb etc. When making a trip, being arrested, staying in the hospital. The simple way is to say that online and in the clouds is always the worst option. But in fact everything carries some kind of risk. And you should always analyze case by case.

In this student situation, it is important to demonstrate why email is unsafe to store the keys and also to exchange a range of information that may be confidential. A great opportunity to teach about encryption.

I have the feeling the news was aired on April 1st.




LOL

There are two reasons to talk about CW being Satoshi. One is someone who has proximity to him and possibilities to make a profit if more people believe. It works like the Ponzi Schemes, the more people pretend to believe and participate, the bigger the amount. Until one day no one else believes.

The other reason is the joke. It's ridiculous to argue about this possibility, so it turns out to be funny.
277  Local / Criptomoedas Alternativas / O que vocês pensam sobre a nova moda das IEO ? on: April 09, 2019, 07:45:30 PM

  Pra quem não sabe, IEO é um ICO que é gerenciado do começo ao fim por uma exchange. ICO, acho que a maioria já conhece, é uma maneira de um projeto se auto-financiar. Um desenvolvedor oferece tokens ou moeda para investidores, recebendo alguma cryptomoeda com liquidez que possa ser usada para financiar o trabalho de desenvolvimento do projeto. Em geral, você mandava Bitcoin ou Ethereum utilizando um smart contract e depois recebia um token. Uma das maiores até hoje foi a EOS que arrecadou Bilhões e durou mais de 1 ano.

O problema é que muitos destes ICO continham poucas informações. Tinham muitos scams, muitos desenvolvedores corriam com o dinheiro arrecadado. Alguns projetos eram apenas cópias de outros, sem nenhuma inovação. Era um faroeste confuso onde muitos perdiam dinheiro.

As exchanges perceberam que havia ai uma oportunidade de ganhar dinheiro oferecendo um pouco mais de segurança, organização e abertura para um publico maior. Sendo assim, criaram o IEO. A exchange verifica a qualidade do projeto, presta consultoria financeira para encontrar um bom preço e oferece toda tecnologia para o processo de venda.

A maioria das exchanges já estão oferecendo:

Binance ;
Bittrex ;
Kucoin ;
Huobi
 

Acho que isso tem um grande potencial de oferecer um novo boom no mercado. E muitos bons projetos surgirem. Ainda não entrei em nenhum IEO, mas pretendo.

Nesse site tem uma lista de alguns dos próximos projetos: https://icobench.com/ieo

278  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Protections Against Fingerprinting and Crypto Mining in Firefox on: April 09, 2019, 03:46:07 PM
https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2019/04/09/protections-against-fingerprinting-and-cryptocurrency-mining-available-in-firefox-nightly-and-beta/

Last year, we told you about adapting our approach to anti-tracking given the added importance of keeping people’s information on the web private in today’s climate. We talked about blocking tracking while also offering a clear set of controls to give our users more choice over what information they share with sites. One of the three key initiatives we listed was mitigating harmful practices like fingerprinting and cryptomining. We have added a feature to block fingerprinting and cryptomining in Firefox Nightly as an option for users to turn on.



It seems to be just a blacklist. It's an important first step to putting the user first, but unfortunately, it seems to me something easily skewed. I can move the topic if it is not the correct section
279  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can We Find Satoshi? on: April 09, 2019, 12:08:41 PM
"and he didn't change a lot of wallets"

But he changed. He changed many times. He used several wallets. Several wallets have been tracked that would be from his. But so what? They remained untouched. They're there, with their coins frozen.

Nothing indicates that he is a scammer who created Bitcoin and then disappeared to get rich using the mined Bitcoins. It is not through the wallets that someone will find it. The only way to find him is if the people who interacted with him are willing to look for him. But that is not anyone's intention.

Or someone who knows him in IRL finds out some links between him and Bitcoin and start publishing online.

Quite interesting. Are you sure you really used cryptomixer.us? Because it's a clone of https://[banned mixer]/
I also remember a few people joining the forum to say they got scammed by this mixer. If anyone is planning to use this service, be careful and DYOR.

Funny that the only complete address he remembered was from a fake website. This is an attempt to scam users, beware. There are thousands of fake addresses with clone sites. Always research before using such a service.
