1001  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance smart chain is centralized ? on: March 19, 2021, 12:31:16 PM
Yes, Binance smart chain is a centralized project but if you read through their main site they will claim it a decentralized project because it operates using Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) but it nothing like Ethereum. However, Binance we're more after TPS and cross chains transfer.
Most crypto investors are after the BSC because of that and the profit of earn free coin.
Note : every project created by Binance are centralized

Actually investing or trading are both profitable, but the problem is, does someone have enough time and ability? because if one does not have much time and does not understand analysis then investing is better than trading, and vice versa if one has a lot of time and is knowledgeable about trading analysis, then trading can be a good choice.
Having enough time, ability and knowledge to analyze the market possible trend is still incomplete as crypto trading and investment is a concern if the capital is not enough to trade or invest successfully.

All using a VPN does is hide who you are, it does not hide that fact that you are using a VPN.
Moreover, your browser fingerprint can still be matched to your previously-tracked information... and, boom! Nice VPN, Steve Macdonald!

Staying private online requires multiple steps - it's not just a single point of failure, it's a damned minefield.
Some people never understand browsing privately requires more than just using a good VPN (WebRTC IP handling policy etc need to be put in check) but what I understand is that is the information of the user provided not against the doxing rules?

1006  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PoW and PoS; Pros and Cons on: March 15, 2021, 02:18:50 PM
Proof of work and proof of stock are two common methods in crypto currencies. Which mechanism do you think is better? Proof of work in coins like Bitcoin or proof of stock in coins like Polkadot?
I assume you were trying to say Proof of Stake here and not "proof of stock". I am not that familiar with Polkadot, but I am quite certain that it doesn't use a standard PoS consensus mechanism, but nevermind. You made a few errors in your comparisons when you refer to Proof of Work as "Proof work" or Proof of Stake as "Proof Stake". Maybe you can correct that to make it a tick better.
The network uses by Polkadot is the nominated proof-of-stake (NPoS) not Proof of stake and it currently uses Binance Smart Chain.

Did tesla's bitcoin investment negatively affect its stock price? Yes, it did.
Despite the fact that cryptocurrency and clean-oriented energy companies are an innovation that will do well in the future a lot of people criticized Tesla billion dollars investment in Bitcoin and I believe may lead to the exit of some TSLA investors who are antiBitcoin.

1008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs Ben Askren on April 17 on: March 12, 2021, 11:08:08 PM
~
they need something to discuss about this fight to sell this to the public. so i guess, dana white betting 1M dollars on Ben will create some interest from boxing fans. because we know, this match will not be a hit in the boxing community if there is no controversial issues or topics to talk about.
i bet, they are crossing their fingers not to cancel this bout for some financial reasons.
Dana White is not promoting the fight a Ben Askren already retired and Dana White has nothing to do with the event as it is an exhibition bout. Jake Paul usually attracts huge crowds and that is the reason he picked Ben Askren because he also promotes the fight well and we can see the battle in social media and these are done to create interest.
Yes,  Ben Askren is retired but you don't understand what he said cause he was talking about Dana White's promise to bet $1 dollars on Ben Askren for the upcoming fight against Jake Paul.
Him betting $1M on the mean he indirectly promotes the fight.

It is not difficult to solve this issue for the transactions in the future but those with exposed public keys will inevitably be vulnerable still.
I understand that reusing the same wallet address is not advisable when security is the top priority, the last time I read public can be share online but what you just said now makes me surprise and curious what you really mean. The question is why would people with exposed public keys be vulnerable?
1010  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Joe Biden is President of the United States of America on: March 04, 2021, 04:13:45 PM
There's something bothering my mind guys about Joe Biden's presidentship and I will be happy if someone can explain it to me better. I saw a video on Instagram today showing the GOYA CEO (Robert Unanue) saying in his opinion Donald Trump is the real, "legitimate, and still actual President of United State"
Why did he said so?

Basically, the answer is that because the election was done using cyber-warfare from outside the USA, we were at war during the election. The military is in control, without the president, because that it was an election war. They (the military) have until the end of this month to decide to let Biden remain, or to redo the vote process. What will happen if they don't decide, remains to be seen.

Cool
Thanks for your respond and this does explained the reason behind his statement about Trump to still the President of the United State but the election done using outside US cyber-ware and the military etc or not Trump still dont have the capacity to win that election from my own view.

Bitcoin.org or Ver Bitcoin wallet is one of the worse cryptocurrency wallet in town and from what I saw here the transaction sent to the wallet address 33MZa5sEui8jj4SPCZWqA8CKsx3QB43833 was delivered but I don't the reason why it not showing on your end and the chance thing you can do is to import the wallet in electrum as you have been advised.
1013  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Trying to get my first multi crypto wallet on: March 03, 2021, 09:20:26 PM
I guess, in general, it would be better to pick a community-vetted open source wallet... Do your own research: it's not because it's in the play store or in apple's store that it's safe!!! There are several wallets, for example f-r-e-e-w-a-l-l-e-t, that are rumoured to pay people for good reviews in google and apple's store, but still rob you blind if you use them.
That is just it, playstores are not just the right place to download wallet, aside what you comment about playstores, also there are hundreds of fake wallets on playstores, very possible for a new person that do not know about crypto yet to download a fake one from playstores.
Yes, I dont know how google does their reviews before adding an APP to the play store but there's a rumor that they are doing the needed research about the APP they integrated on their platform and their main procedure is to check if it is virus-free.

There's open source vs closed source, but just as important are custodial vs non-custodial wallets (tip: if you have the choice, pick the non-custodial wallet)
This is a good advice, but to include, it will be good to also not download any noncustodial wallet that will request for email, there are many noncustodial wallets these days that are requiring for email, they should not be used for privacy purposes.
There's no reason to use any custodial wallet that requires email.

1014  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Crypto Exchanges That Successfully Recovered Bitcointalk Users Funds on: March 03, 2021, 08:43:44 PM
I like this topic, but it should still be emphasized that not your key not your coin
It clear that any coin keep on the custodial wallet is indirectly not our coins but the exchange that choose not to give back the coins mistakenly sent to the wrong address are using that strategy to steal from the legitimate owner and people should stay away from this kind of exchange site.
1015  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: metamask question on: February 27, 2021, 10:13:10 PM
I transferred eth to metamask then converted it to dai. Now I need to send the dai to kucoin. Dai is listed on kucoin, but I'm wondering if I'm allowed to send dai or I can only send and receive eth? It's a stupid question but I don't want to lose the dai if that's the case. Thanks!
You wondering you may lose the token since it wasn't Ethereum that you want to send. I believe the problem was you not knowing that DAI was a token issued on the Ethereum blockchain which some people called ERC20 token and there's no problem in you send the DAI to the exact ERC20 deposit address giving to you by Kucoin exchange.
1016  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Sorry we're unable to locate this TxnHash on: February 27, 2021, 09:09:10 PM
It's either the gas is not enough or the network is busy. It is also the same as the bitcoin where I read a thread that the transaction is not confirmed due to low fee. Try to check your wallet address in the etherscan if you can see a transaction that has not been processed when you send the transaction.
The problem does not have to do with the gas and it also not the as Bitcoin network congestion but I believe it either the problem is from the OP when he sent the transaction which possibly makes the transaction, not to reach the mempool and that's the reason why the Etherscan cannot present the transaction information cause it is not available on the mempool.
1017  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: what do you think about the few days deep on: February 27, 2021, 08:54:55 PM
I noticed the recent deep generally affected most of the ALT coin within 48 hrs turning Red. i bought EOS at $5.2 but i was panic to sell reason because most of my assets was greatly at loose and i couldn't bear the pain so i have to sell off most them to be able to secure them, not too long the market changes direction again and already i have lost most of my investment.

Do we expect another deep soon?
what is your intake, please be free to drop your comments.
One this is for sure after a pump there will be a dip. Not all the times those coins will just pump and if it happens that the coin you bought dipped you don't need to sell it for a loss because it will eventually grow back or even more. You should learn to control your emotion in this kind of market because it does not work on our side. If you saw your portfolio in bloodbath then just hold it. That is why it is necessary for us to have TP or at least set a Stop loss. Besides, I think this correction is healthy for the market because this creates an opportunity for everyone to procure more and push it to set a new ATH.
You are right about not selling at the lost price but it also depends on the coin in particular and in the season we're where the market can suddenly leap to any trend, invest in centralizing and a high manipulated coin is never a good thing and I dont him selling his EOS cause the coin is among highly manipulated coin. However, it invests the amount one can afford to lose is the best investment decision whenever the market is full of doubt.

This is quite a sensible statement from the Nigerian Vice president and I really admire his stance and impression about cryptocurrency because killing the goose that might lay the golden eggs is indeed never a solution but what I don't understand is the Nigerian President stance because if he supports crypto the CBN won't have raised the ban issue in the first place.
1019  Economy / Speculation / Re: How much lower you think BTC can go in this drop ? on: February 25, 2021, 10:37:15 PM
Nobody can be 100% sure of the bottom price of the current dip in the price of the market but the previous bottom price was around $47,000 price range,  if the market doesn't start bullish market before it the weekend I expect the market to dump below the previous resistance level and what left to do now is to catch the season (dump) before the bullish begin.
1020  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Coldcard, a couple of questions on: February 24, 2021, 06:29:26 PM
Hi!

I recently got a ColdCard and I have created a new wallet with a seed based on rolling dice.
I am now thinking how I should continue. First of all, should I use Electrum, Wasabi or something else? What would you recommend?
I will recommend Electrum wallet through their official website https://electrum.org/#download but make sure you created and generate the wallet seed to an airgap computer.


Then I am wondering, I have created a 24 word seed with dices and also my own keycode (4+4) so the wallet is created inside the coldcard. But I am now wondering, what is the function "Passphrase" for?
Passphrase is password alike and it is used to added more security to your wallet.

The second option on the main screen.
It says something about making a new wallet. Is that necesarry? And what would be the words be used if I would like to importing in inside a complitly new wallet anytime in the future and I need seed words, should I use the 24 words I already have or the new words (I think it said it was 12 words on the new one on the passphrase menu).
It not necessary to make a new wallet and what you need to import the wallet addresses you create through dice rolling is the seed words but electrum only use 12 words.


Anything else you guys recommend?
And I have another question aswell, how could the coldcard create a new wallet without even having connection to the internet and the blockchain? Wouldn´t that be impossible? Or is it that it is not having been created yet, it is just there, ready to be used?
I am not aware of the wallet but it seems to be a hardware wallet and it possible to create wallet without connect to the internet. Besides, is the secure way to create wallet.
You can not use the coldcard to create new wallet what you can use the same wallet on electrum by importing it.
