I really like this new BTClock Rev. B with white front light and bamboo material.
Same here... It adds a cozier vibe to any setup, but apart from the bamboo plate, the one with the front light is already out of stock in the official store while Bitsaga is selling it for €70 more and that one doesn't come with the bamboo plate.
- BTW, it appears that there'll be a cool-looking alternative soon, but it'll probably have fewer features: BitKlock™ (there's still no official name, so its name is only meant to be a joke and it might cost around $200) - Mechanical displays were designed by @Engineezy and here's the "link to buy the STL files".

Instant Payments: Once a customer makes a Bitcoin payment, the amount is instantly transferred to your Bitcoin wallet.
...
No Middlemen: Payments are transferred directly from the customer to your wallet.
None of the above-underlined parts are true... Considering that you're charging a forwarding fee, it's considered a multi-hop payment so it actually counts as indirect and definitely not instant!
- Regarding your forward fee, it appears that there are different tiers in the equation... Would you mind listing them on your website?

Secure Transactions: All payments are processed via Bitcoin, ensuring fast and secure transactions without intermediaries.
Seeing the inconsistencies between the content of this thread and the platform in question, makes me lean toward you not being an official representative of this platform. Am I correct?

  • QuickBitSale.com is an intermediary platform that facilitates Bitcoin payments between sellers and buyers. By using this platform, you agree to comply with all terms and conditions.

May update na kaya tungkol dito?
Wala pa masyadong update dahil sa end of December pa malalaman ang exact date ng repayment nila pero ang rough estimate nila is sa March magsisimula ang repayment process [source].

Naka based yata sa fiat amount ng mga user the time na na close yung exchange ang refund nila...
Ayon sa mga bagong report, may dagdag na 18 or 19% [may mga conflicing reports kaya hindi pa ako sure kung alin ang tama at hindi ko pa alam kung ano ang rason].

Wanna contact support? Good luck with that because the form for opening support ticket doesn't work (it won't be submitted) and there is no any other way to contact them.
It's worth mentioning that you can still get through their faulty ticket system with some luck, but you really need to be patient... Out of the ten times that I tried, I managed to successfully submit a ticket on two occasions:
- Have you tried to post in their Telegram group? I'm not one of their users, but they might respond.

I just found that they can be reported in the Internet Crime Complaint Center(IC3) - https://www.ic3.gov/. I don't anyone who has reported there but it is one of the websites that came up when I did a little digging on places to report these types of scams.
I also don't have prior experience with the above website, but there's no harm in using something that would improve the odds of taking such websites down, so thank you for linking it here.

kill 5 and 5 more start up elsewhere. Roll Eyes
Unfortunately, you're right: bybytex.com [Creation Date: 2024-11-21]
- And another one that's been in existence for roughly a year: litadex.com (Creation Date: 2023-12-01)

I have reported this scammer's thread, tagged his account, supported the flag, and filed a complaint with Google and Namecheap [ScreenShot].
Surprisingly, your actions did the trick [I can't remember the last time NameCheap was still this fast in taking down a domain] so thank you for doing all of the above things [the same goes for other users who did the same].

Was NordVPN really awful for you? From my experience, it's one of the fastest VPN.
It used to be my favorite, but a couple of years back I started experiencing a massive drop in its overall performance... Despite renewing my subscription for two more years at that time, I only used it for less than a month before I decided to go with Mullvad.
- Having said that, you might get away with it for slow-paced games, but that's not the case with FPS games.

A good alternative of Mullvad is IVPN because ... is open-source and also, for me, it's faster than Mullvad.
Thank you... I'll test it when my current subscription ends.

You can get a trial on every Non-Privacy Focused Mainstream VPNs if you want to test them for gaming. Just download them on your smartphone, then it will offer you a 7 day trial, create an account, activate a trial and then login with that account credentials in your PC.
As much as I hate to be the product, I tried this route but couldn't activate the free trials for both ExpressVPN & Surfshark since it required adding a payment method and I didn't want to do that... I'd put the gaming performance of Windscribe in between NordVPN and Mullvad while CyberGhost kept crashing for some reason.

What happened::
This so-called exchange claims they're giving out 50 to 100 USDT to newly registered members on their platform, but despite saying the only requirement for enabling withdrawal is "a single buy/sell order", they're asking to either "connect our wallets or deposit 100$" and I think it's quite clear that both of these things will lead to them scamming their members!

how big is the chance that scammers have somehow gotten a fake update into your Trezor Suite App and you accidentally install that one?
Nothing is 100% bullet-proof if it's accessible on the internet, but chances of an official source getting compromised are usually low... Regardless of that, you should ALWAYS verify the authenticity of the downloaded Trezor Suite file, before installing it: Download & verify Trezor Suite [the whole process takes a minute to complete]
9  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Black Friday Hardware Wallet Less Known Deals on: November 23, 2024, 01:19:18 PM
Ledger...
There's also one for their Ledger Flex, but in the form of a voucher [$70] so the redemption process probably will not be that smooth.

I wouldn't waste money on Trezor One, even with this low price.
Same here, but how about their Model T? Despite not having a secure element, the 40% discount is very tempting.

Few other deals:

- 15% off on OneKey wallets [use code: BFCM-2024]
- Up to 50% off for SecuX wallets [starting on Nov 25]
- $20 to $70 off for ELLIPAL wallets
- 34% off for Bitkey [note for newcomers: This isn't a proper HW!]

For Mullvad users who solely rely on the OpenVPN protocol like me, in a year's time [roughly], WireGuard will be the only protocol on Mullvad: Removing OpenVPN 15th January 2026
- Considering that I have to switch to another provider soon, I wonder if someone could also recommend a good VPN for online gaming (NordVPN was awful while Mullvad is somewhat okay).
11  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: The dark side of bitcoin/ the lie on: November 21, 2024, 12:09:10 PM
bitcoin is used to scam people, launder money
It's worth mentioning that the frequency of the above things happening through the use of Bitcoin [or even other cryptocurrencies] is nothing compared to traditional methods and there are already multiple research studies about it!

it is a parallel to the dollar.
Would you mind explaining to us how you came to that conclusion?

The place in the world with the most bitcoin is the USA. Coincidence?
If you're referring to the amount the US government has, they've actually seized most of those Bitcoins [don't overthink it].

The people who have the most bitcoin individually are not engaged in legal activities.
Now you're generalizing Bitcoiners and that's wrong!

Not even the "creator" shows his face...
Why are you considering that to be a bad thing?
12  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: How to create 12 words seed instead of 24 words on Trezor Model One on: November 21, 2024, 08:04:24 AM
...
The method you mentioned is indeed the easiest way to generate a 12-word seed phrase for the Trezor Model One, but last time I checked, those weren't compatible with Trezor wallet [or other HWs (it's only supported on a few SWs)] so you'll be quite limited in the restoration process and IMO, this method defeats the purpose of having a HW to some extent [I'd personally go with Pmalek's suggestion].
13  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Forest Market: Buy and Sell Goods with Crypto on: November 20, 2024, 01:54:59 PM
We're still actively developing the platform, so we'd greatly appreciate any feedback and support.
  • I'm not a fan of the current sign-in options [LNURL-auth is a good alternative or at least give your users the option to use their custom emails].
  • Do they have to ship returned products to your warehouse or the seller?
  • What happens in cases where the seller receives their product, but forgets to confirm their satisfaction?
  • Based on the shipping & return fields of the listed products, it appears that this is only limited to the US. Am I right?
  • Why Bitcoin isn't supported?

Mas mappabilis na ito pagbili at benta ng Bitcoin or kahit anong cryptocurrency sa Pinas.
Mukhang ibat-ibang uri ng stabelcoin lang ang involve sa platform nila kabayan at considering na hindi volatile ang mga ito, sa tingin ko wala masyadong gagamit sa platform nila at pag dating naman sa cross-border payments, mas maganda ang ibang options [kahit connected ito sa Unionbank].
15  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: DIY Bitcoin Blockclock on: November 20, 2024, 08:29:05 AM
I haven't been that active in the past few months so I'm not updated on all fronts [e.g. NVK's issues with Foundation, Seedsigner, etc...], but it appears that nvk wasn't expecting BTClock to have a chance in the beginning and as soon as Djuri started adding more features to BTClock, he chose to take out the competition to salvage their overpriced products [SMH]!
- Based on one of the X posts shared by Mitchell, I think Djuri only needs to change the name and the appearance of BTClock to get back to normal operations and I actually think this would be a blessing in disguise.

17  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Free 3D printed wallet (seed storage). Binary and 1248 Model. on: November 19, 2024, 04:39:05 PM
I prefer to use this one over the binary model [or as you've labeled it, BitSafe] for storing a 12-word seed phrase, but there's a small mistake in the provided sample [the BIP39 word for 512 is divide].
BTW, what kind of filament do you recommend for someone not worried about going through airport security?
18  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Opportunities in Creating an Online Casino Using Cryptocurrencies on: November 19, 2024, 11:39:12 AM
Global Reach: Cryptocurrency payments eliminate traditional barriers, enabling players from all over the world to participate in games.
Unfortunately, the above sentence doesn't always apply to online crypto casinos. Sometimes, it's because of the limitations imposed by the payment gateway of their choice, and in other instances, it has something to do with where they're based [e.g. rules and regulations for both cases].

Recently came across a service called dicelab.co, which offers ready-to-use solutions for integrating games and cryptocurrency payments.
No, you didn't... I'm pretty sure you just made it!

Regarding dun sa kaso ni Leibov, mukhang kilala talaga siya ng isa sa mga armed robbers dahil matagal na silang nagtetrading ng crypto so sa tingin ko hindi siya nag flex ng crypto holding niya [source]... The main issue is nakipag-meet siya sa isang private place habang nag-iisa siya sa ibang bansa [ako kahit may kasama akong mga tao, pipiliin ko palagi ang mga public places na medyo magulo]!

@more-ex.com
- Can we have more information concerning the AML verification stage? If you'll be relying on an automated system at any stage, would you mind mentioning the name of the software in question?
Unfortunately, there's a hidden agenda behind creating some of them!

- It appears that there are some "inconsistencies" in potential rewards for the affiliates... In one part you mentioned the rewards can be from 1% - 6% while in the succeeding part, it's saying 10% - 30%. Which one is the accurate one?
