Another newbie account suspected of scamming in the currency exchange board:

User: btc_wire
Thread: BTC to WIRE\SWIFT\SEPA <<! Business accounts !>>

It seems like a rather obvious scam attempt; a newbie directing people to his telegram account.  Then this post in the exchange thread:

I was careful to contact the correct Telegram account with the username "btctowire" (there are many impostors on Telegram with similar usernames).

Shortly after I sent the cryptocurrency @btctowire stopped replying to my messages and blocked me. It was several days ago.


ETA: I don't know if this coincidental or not, but but minutes after I tagged the account mentioned above, another pops up with his telegram account ready to go.  User movo_cash just posted this gem of an offer:

30% RATE

IF INTERESTED HIT ME UP ON TELEGRAM @BLACKPANTHER255

30%, what can go wrong?


Until uncle Nutildah returns to help keep that subboard clean, I'll be tagging any newbie who posts an offer and then directs members to Telegram.

I am still adamant that I will not play ANY PPR.

What's that, point per reception?  If that's a deal-breaker, then it's settle, lol!  No PPR!  Just out curiosity though, what is it you don't like about it?


sorry not posting much but I got into a bike accident.

Hit a telephone pole doing 45 and broke my back, pelvis and 4 ribs along with a dislocation and a ton of other smaller injuries.

Holy shit, man!  I'm glad you're still here to join us!  I wish you a speedy and complete recovery.

What happened to cause you to lose control?  If you don't mind me asking.  I still ride for recreation and road trips, and I know how dangerous it can be.  I'm getting to the age where injuries taking substantially longer to heal, which has finally caused me to slow it down a bit.  And I do mean A BIT!  Undecided

That was an incredible performance by Steph Curry last night.  He accounted for 43 of the Warriors' 107 points, 40% of the team's total scoring.  That's 20 points more than any other player who touched the ball last night.  Statistically speaking; that means he was actually two basketball players of NBA level last night.  The Warriors would have been toast without him, he is so obviously carrying the team.

WHAT IS HAPPENING??#!
I was wondering about that too, but didn't feel like checking the details. I did it now anyway.
~
I still can't find a common reason.

It looks like Timelord2067 and Lauda are accountable for 88% of the additions (100% of the increase) with a sore of Lauda: 4, Timelord2067: 3.  Both made their way to DT2 in the last week.

@Timelord2067: what's with the trust abuse on hilariousandalt?
The system is for handling trade risk, not for flagging people for good/bad posts/personalities/ideas.

If it wasn't for his use of the trust system to keep track of his personal disputes, Timelord2067's remaining reviews would be a good addition to DT.

I just want to be clear that I'm holding back judgement on this issue for now, but...

(This could be messy to read but still, I hope you all manage)
~
I am not judging their cases (whatever it is) with Bitlucy with above but it seems these users always had issues with casinos.

This is looking like the beginning of a lot of excuses to come.  If you're the marketing manager I suggest you refrain from attacking those who've made claims against your organization, and focus on the facts of the issues reported as they pertain to your organization.  It'll come off way more professional and a lot less scammy.



I won't have time to go through these one by one until later, but are any of the held withdrawal requests merely attempting to withdraw their initial deposit?

Lol, this game is getting nuts!  Tatum with that dive to save the ball from going out bounds!  He must have thought he was playing football for a second there.  It's a great game so far, going back and forth, tied at 39 late in the first half.  The Warriors need this win to go home with hope and ambition.  They know it, and looks like it on the court.  Even if GS can run away with it the third quarter I still wouldn't count out the Celtics in the fourth.

Go Warriors!
1430  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: June 10, 2022, 09:47:13 PM
So its for the Warriors how to defend their team so that the result for the next game will still be consistent in favor for them.

Yeah, this is as close to a must win for the Warriors as it gets without the Celtics having won 3 games.  They certainly don't want to get on that plane tonight being down 2 games and risk losing the series in 5.  Not that I think that's going to happen; the NBA wants the series to go to 7 games for obvious reasons.  To be honest I don't trust the NBA for anything other than to ensure that the Finals go for seven games, lol.

Of course, of course, not scammed, at all. If you think you're helping fortunejack, you're mistaken. We will see.

Just ignore the second half of my post, because it's easier to remain a petulant brat than it is to behave like an adult.
1432  Economy / Reputation / Re: Should we not get negative feedback for expressing our views? How about me? on: June 10, 2022, 07:53:05 PM
As an example, I myself fell a victim to a scam of one of gambling websites promoted by this forum (fortunejack.com)

That's disingenuous and you know it.  A more accurate description would be that you violated their TOS and weren't allowed to keep your ill-gotten winnings.  You're failing to mention that you were given a refund for your deposits.  That's not the same thing as getting scammed.

Nonetheless, as for the two red tags you have; I wouldn't have left either of them myself, but I don't believe either are particularly inaccurate.  If you feel they're unjustified, I suggest you make an appeal to the better nature of both individuals (it's been my experience that both are good natured people) and they may decide to remove them.

The scammers are trying to trick you into thinking they are the only ones who can sell you BNB.  They walk you through the steps of creating a Binance account, then tell you send the bitcoin or ethereum to you Atomic wallet, then from there to their addresses.  What a pedestrian scam attempt.  What they don't tell you is that you don't need to buy BTC or ETH at all, you just buy BNB directly from Binance,  and there it is, in your Binance account.



That's all good advice, but there's more to it than that.  Anytime you join a group you're exposing yourself as someone who's interested in the subject  of said group.  For example, I recently joined a group to get some technical support on a (legitimate) BTC service.  Normally I leave the group once I've done my business, but this time I stuck around to see what other issues people were discussing.  It didn't take too long before I was getting messages from unknown individuals playing chummy and asking very personal questions.  Much like cold-call telephone scammers.  You can easily put two and two together; scammers see you as a member of the group, and try out their scam attempt on you.

Now, me being the rascal that I am, I try to string them along for as long as possible.  I figure the more of their time I waste the fewer people they can attempt to scam.  It's a public service I offer.  Cheesy

I looking for anyone can give me a good deal, I can use paxful or LCB with Escrow.
Right now its very bad deals

I got Telegram: @CyberCryptoCowboy

Scammers, please save your and mine time and dont message.

I've never used paxful, but if it's anything like LocalBitcoins it's just a scam waiting to happen.  Especially if you're accepting fiat payments for crypto.  The best (and safest) P2P exchange I've used is Bisq.  If you only deal with signed and aged accounts it can be very safe.  Bisq is not completely without risk, but certainly safer than LocalBitcoins.

We used ESPN last year.  It was fine, but some are saying that Yahoo is better.  it's been over 15 years since I've used Yahoo for Fantasy Football, but I didn't have any problem with it.  Whatever you experienced guys prefer is fine with me.

Like, extraterrestrials?  Any confirmed?


I leave the kissing of suchmoon’s ass to you guys, as for nullius - I just state the things as they are, nothing more, nothing less.

Okay, you're entitled to your opinion, but it's fair to point out that I don't recall analyzing any of suchmoon's posts as if they're literary masterpieces...


I agree with him to the full extent.

Good to know!  Pucker up, butter cup.   Kiss


ETA: I just figured out the alien reference...  That line is from those retarded MIB movies...  Okay now that I have a better understanding your level of sophistication I'll stop picking on you.  I might be an asshole, but I'm not a bully.

Myoriginaladdress, !

Yup, that's all it takes.  On the confirmation screen you'll see where the change is going, and if it's an Electrum selected change address it'll be highlighted in yellow, and if it's a standard receiving address from the same wallet it'll be highlighted in green.  If you've set up the payment correctly you'll see your original (the sending) address as highlighted in green, indicating that the change will be sent there.
1438  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How to decrypt electrum wallet encrypted file backup? on: June 10, 2022, 02:22:19 PM
I used this method for the unencrypted means to backup the file. But what about if I backup the wallet encrypted and my laptop is damaged and I want to recover through encrypted backup file. Is it possible to buy another laptop, recover the private keys from the encrypted file backup if I download electrum on the new electrum wallet downloaded on new laptop?

Though I will have my seed phrase too in case that does not work.

A corrupted file is a corrupted file, regardless of whether it's encrypted or not.  Sure they're may be some readable text in an unencrypted file that might give you most of the private key(s), but that's just a roll of the dice.  Regardless of whether the file is encrypted or not, you'll want to make regular backups and keep them secure.  An encrypted wallet file can be opened on any machine with Electrum installed, all that's needed is the password.
 

I would be more comfortable with using the seed as a backup method. It would definitely work and there is no reason why backing up the file would be better than it, unless you need the labels and stuff like that. I would probably avoid exposing the seed so much as well.

Of course the seed phrase should be your primary backup, but it's nice to save labels and contacts.  That is, in fact all that backing up the wallet file will buy you.

Wow 6 years Steve, what is your favorite memory?  Cool

In comments to Trofo, wiss and DireWolf.

I might not get my understanding correct about Nations League but actually even if England get relegated it does not prevent them from progressing, since the group winners are the ones who progress, could it be that actually relegation to B means they might get easier opponents? And extra chance for World Cup?

Or is it only possible to do so from Group A?

I tried to read but confuses me even more. Some reports say win or lose the tournament does not mean anything except for the cup which is like a Charity Shield.

It can be complicated, and it's complicated even more by the fact that the leagues and the number of teams in those leagues is constantly in flux.

The World Cup qualifications are largely decoupled from the UEFA Nations League.  IIRC the top two teams ranked highest in the Nations will square off against the lowest ranked teams for World Cup qualifications, which obviously gives those top two teams an advantage.  Nations League performance has more influence on placement for the UEFA European Championship.  But, doing poorly in either competition will not result disqualification for the World Cup.

My comments in my previous post were more about which competition offers more visibility and clout.  Every team wants to win every competition for which they're qualified, but a manager has to pick and chose which he wants more.
