Sending your site to other users will be considered as spamming and even If if you don't get banned, users will leave you a negative trust which will no longer make you trustworthy in the community and make your account worthless. As for reading messages, I believe it's impossible except for the administration because they have access to the database, but reported P.Ms should be visible for them just like posts are.

I found this site[1] and it seems like it exists since 2014 and there is an announcement thread[2], the OP is not that active but It might worth trying or you could ask there for people who have used it.

I won't be surprised If they exit scam, I asked about their services one year ago: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1418166.0 If there is something I learned during my three years journey in the crypto currency world is to never trust cloud mining companies. I hope they fix whatever issue you are facing with them, but just withdraw as you soon as can.
6524  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is gaining momentum in Africa on: October 05, 2017, 07:36:08 AM
I can say this is absolutely irrelevant to most of the Africain countries even though they claim otherwise, the currencies are only displayed in NGN, a verification process is needed and BVN is required which is a scheme introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria, the site have both buying and selling listings from the same person (only one) so I don't really see how there is much demand or how this exchange is meant to be for Africa If they only support Nigeria.
6525  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: PC/Android/IOS wallet with fingerprint encryption? on: October 05, 2017, 07:00:26 AM
I'm not aware of any wallet on the platforms you mentioned, probably simply due to the fact that there will be a small userbase, because phones that have fingerprint sensors in them are expensive and not everyone have them, a PC can't read fingerprints unless you buy something else too. There is however Case wallet (a hardware wallet) which does that: https://choosecase.com/ but It's sold out, so you may want to contact them to ask them If they will create more wallets.
6526  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Roadmap Discussion on: October 04, 2017, 05:52:34 PM
Here we are one year later with SegWit being activated. I thought it's worth bringing this topic back again, so I googled a little bit regarding IBLTS and BIP68/BIP112 but couldn't find any recent posts, these changes are still going to happen? I see (check the picture in OP) that Lightning network is mentioned in the third/BIPs part but I believe the LN that we are all familiar with (https://cdecker.github.io/lightning-integration/) don't require any soft forks, so are those two different projects?

I haven't used them myself but they rebranded a few months ago from BitX.co (not to be confused with CoinsBank/Bit-x) to Luno and If you search using the old name, you will find a lot of results, mostly positives ones.
6528  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Cold Storage project By a Large Bullion Dealer on: October 04, 2017, 04:13:30 PM
If I got this right, there will be people who will be creating cold storage for clients? The whole purpose from bitcoin is to be your own bank so they should create it themselves and be in control the full time and in that case Bitaddress.org will be suggested, downloading the source code, running it locally using LiveCD Tails or other Linux distribution.
6529  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Forkin' Mess 101] What will be the real Bitcoin (BTC) at the end of 2017? on: October 04, 2017, 03:44:03 PM
The SegWit2x attack like I like to call it is more powerful then BitcoinCash indeed because more services are backing it however the outcome will most likely be the same as BCH. We can already see companies that participated and agreed to NYA withdrawing (21% of them already) and It's just a matter of time until more will join because SegWit is being implemented in multiple exchanges and wallets, and fees will continue to get lower and they will realize that there is absolutely no need for a blocksize increase.

Hello,

Now I need javascript to visit bitcointalk. it's lame. I don't like it. Why was the change made? thanks.

The only part where you need it enabled is through the registration or login Captcha I believe, just leave your account logged in to avoid that.
6531  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Am I screwed? Electrum Wallet on: October 04, 2017, 12:44:40 PM
I'm not getting the whole thing, It's very unclear If you are speaking about a site or Electrum so a few questions to understand:

1. From where you bought the bitcoins and where you sent them?
2. Is the receiving wallet a 2FA or standard?
3. Which service asked you to type a Google authenticator code?

It's worth mentioning that even If you have visited a phishing site, It's very unlikely that you got infected by a malware that resulted into having your desktop wallet compromised. While waiting your above answers, I can still tell you that If you have sent the funds to your the correct wallet, you should be able to retrieve them using the seed whether you have 2FA enabled or not. Electrum can't help you do anything because you are the one in control of the wallet, your private keys, password or seed are not stored in their servers.
6532  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: A reminder regarding Coinbase on: October 04, 2017, 12:14:21 PM
I highly doubt that Coinbase is going to deprive people of their coins on the legacy chain after the fork. They are even crediting people their BCH (albeit months later, just like they did with Ethereum Classic) despite the fact that there is no confusion about its status as an altcoin.

Most of their coins are in cold storage. At worst, I think that people will have to wait a few months to get all their coins, while they code and test systems to split all of the BTC they have custody over. That's reason enough to withdraw before the fork, obviously. But I don't think that Coinbase is going to steal them. They've been through this twice now and the first fork -- ETH/ETC -- didn't have replay protection, either. I think their legal team is very concerned about the company being construed as denying customers claim to their funds.

It's better not to wait and see what will happen, what people have to lose If they withdraw their funds? besides, these forked coins usually get dumped fast so people don't want to wait months until being able to retrieve them. Secondly, I believe that Coinbase have all right to keep Bitcoin Gold, SegWit2x and anything else and it cannot be considered as Illegal or stealing, because they are the ones in control and when you made an account, I don't think they agreed to give you anything else except the bitcoin you buy or receive.
6533  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [GUIDE] Bitcoin Wallets - What's the best for you? on: October 04, 2017, 09:46:25 AM
Thank you so much. I'm currently experimenting with bitcoin so probably won't get a trezor or ledger. Is electrum a good option for beginners?

It's the best option as long as your computer is clean from any malware and you're not holding large amounts of bitcoins, whether you are a beginner or not.
6534  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The upcoming fork November 2017 (Bitcoin gold)? on: October 04, 2017, 07:31:21 AM
The Bitcoin Gold[1] fork will actually happen at the end of this month and SegWit2x will happen at mid November. Regardless of which fork, If there is actually a split, all you will need to retrieve your new coins is to have control the private keys and even If the wallet don't support the new coin, you could always export the private keys in that case and import them somewhere else.

where you suggest me to sell paypal for bitcoins  ?

A lot of options are available but the most profitable are when you are dealing with individuals so either trade on the forums (Currency exchange section) or in Paxful. It may be hard at first and people may not trust you, until you gain some trust because PayPal can be chargebacked.
6536  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance exchange on: October 03, 2017, 06:18:31 AM
Where are Binance located?

They seem to be the only exchange that has IOTA and SALT atm.

Just want to learn more about them.

Binance is located in China and I believe they are not touched by the last laws because there is no Fiat involved here. IOTA is available in Bitfinex as stated above and SALT can be found in Liqui too and Exodus wallet added them, so you should be able to trade them within the built-in exchange (ShapeShift.io API) with any other asset.
6537  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Core 0.15.0.1 Released on: October 02, 2017, 05:11:10 PM
The developers are not taking this seriously or I'm missing something? I mean how could they implement SegWit without a making standard for verifying and signing messages? I didn't knew this until saw a couple of Reddit posts about Trezor and Ledger nano S.
6538  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Websites for getting BTC from doing micro tasks on: October 02, 2017, 01:01:10 PM
I haven't tried this site[1] but from looking at some threads on the forums and Reddit, I believe they are legit. Their twitter page is still active and the creator of the (which is from the forums) can be contacted as well[2]. Alternatively, I would suggest going to the Services section, there are always available micro tasks from signing up, sharing in social media etc.

6539  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Wallet for upcoming airdrops & splits on: October 02, 2017, 11:24:32 AM
For a split, you should be fine as long as you are controlling your private keys (Electrum is a good option). Here is the thing though, hardware wallet actually credit the new coin in your wallet (say BitcoinCash) however while using a desktop wallet, you will most likely need to export the private keys and import somewhere else (another wallet) to get your BCH and the same thing applies for Airdrops because they most of the time require signing a message. You really can't find a wallet for all that though, some wallets like Jaxx, Exodus and Coinomi (not recommedned) support multiple coins but not all.
