@Pmalek
I quickly went through the list and based on the ones that I could check, I found the following changes since you've last updated them:


In regards to casinos that charge ridiculous withdrawal fees, all I can do is shake my head and say, it's nothing but daylight robbery!

like for example Google sheets (but I've only used it from laptop, so maybe you find something better for mobile)
There's also a Google Sheets app for both Android and iOS devices [for the most part, it works pretty well].

The feature might be insignificant to be incorporated but could be insightful on privacy base.
If privacy is a concern, then you might want to read the following link: About privacy
- Adding any of the above suggestions would result in little to no impact on the privacy front.

My only complaint is that, currently, all threads I've ever replied to are automatically added to my Watchlist, and because of this, it is extremely cluttered, making it unusable.
You can remove them from your watchlist:

  • Watchlist > Edit watchlist > Put a checkmark on those that you want to get rid of > Click the "Remove checked" button.
2143  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Frustration with third party KYC services in crypto platforms on: September 12, 2021, 10:47:55 AM
due to their third party KYC sites not accepting the documents provided, although they are perfectly fine and readable.
Apart from what has already been discussed here, have you tried checking the sizes [kilobytes] of the images that you've uploaded? On all of the previous occasions that I had to deal with automated rejections, I noticed my uploaded documents were beyond their allowed size limits [some of them have that requirement in place].
- In other words, sometimes it has nothing to do with the images being blurry or not.
2144  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Alfakarsa.com Review For SCAM - Beware it is a SCAM on: September 12, 2021, 09:14:51 AM
I found out another SCAMMING website and like always,
~Snipped~
Reference Link:

https://www.alfakarsa.com
And as always, you forgot to include the "archived" version Cheesy

- Innosilicon A11 Pro [archived]
- Linzhi Phoenix [archived]
- Bitmain Antminer L7 [archived]

There are a lot of plagiarized content on their website, but the most notable ones are the following parts:
- Clearly, they're connected to what you [link] and I [link] have previously found on another thread [I could've used just one of the following websites as proof, but I wanted to show the chain connection]!

~Snipped~
For example, you can claim that the company was paying a fixed price per month for energy, not a metered one so your consumption would have not affected the budget nor that it put anyone in danger.
~Snipped~
Thank you for providing an explanation and an example [makes sense], but seeing that they've already given estimated damage for the electricity "alone", then we're probably dealing with a submetered electricity on the building in question.

I don't think he has chances of getting away with it.
Same here... I'm curious to see the extent of his punishment [because of his background (might have an influence), I'm guessing it'll be just a few years].
2146  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2021-09-08] Suffolk county worker charged with running illegal mining farm on: September 11, 2021, 01:10:31 PM
Christopher Naples, 42, of Mattituck, turned himself in to authorities Wednesday morning and was charged with third-degree grand larceny, public corruption, computer trespassing and official misconduct. Naples pleaded not guilty and was released without bail at his arraignment.
~Snipped~
Sini said Naples admitted to owning and installing the devices when confronted by investigators.
Am I the only one who thinks the parts I've bolded, contradict each other?

Before Naples' alleged mining was uncovered, county employees working in the building housing the clerk's office had complained about the air conditioning and slow internet connections, which Sini attributed to the strain on the building's energy resources due to the mining.
The last time I checked, mining [as a whole] only used an insignificant amount of the network bandwidth, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's another corrupt employee doing something else in that building!

I wonder what gear that was,
~Snipped~
so at max something as powerful as an S9.
I couldn't watch the video from the above link [subscription-based], but judging by the looks of the miners and the PSUs [screenshot] I think you might be right [for the most part].
- I wonder why they had to slap stickers on any of the parts that said Bitmain and Antminer [it's still obvious who manufactured those when you check the exact placements of the stickers].

anyone playing to mine long term wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of the law because they risk losing their investment once caught.

They should be tag like all others.
I've tagged both of them...

  • Normally, I would've given them another chance by asking them to remove it first, but seeing that they've clearly read the campaign thread [prior to applying privately (refer to @igehhh's post)], as opposed to a bunch of spammers that literally apply in any campaign, then both of them deserve receiving such ratings!
2148  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Interview session with store owner accepting bitcoin... on: September 11, 2021, 08:21:18 AM
Rest some privacy is also needed
If you're responding to concerns [@mine and @Darker45] in regards to showing an image with the BTCitcoin accepted sign, then you should remove both of the images that you've included [despite making them smaller and cropping one of them, both of them "easily" showed up when I reverse image searched them (as a proof, there's a letter "M" somewhere in the middle of the store's name)].

  • When you take an image from somewhere else, you should always include the source!
  • I spent 10 minutes looking through the images that the customers have posted and I couldn't find a single image showing that they're accepting BTCitcoin in their store...
    - I'm not implying that you've lied, but you should really include an image that shows that's the case.

It looks like an image grabbed from somewhere online.
and whether they were actual photos
The other two images were taken from two different sources, but I can confirm that both of them belong to a single store.

2: helping you set up your government-approved wallet

      and receive your $30 BTC airdrop 
I thought that process was automated and Salvadorans would get it as soon as they've completed the KYC process in Chivo wallet.
- Am I missing something or you meant to say unlocking the airdropped amount for withdrawal [I've read a few reports that mentioned you have to make a few Chivo to Chivo transactions first]?

I add $100,000 liquidity to my account every 24 hours for now
Aren't you worried that your account might get flagged [it's a significant amount]?
2151  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mastercard acquires CipherTrace to enhance crypto capabilities on: September 10, 2021, 03:56:51 PM
These new technologies will require new solutions and more powerful intelligence to ensure that the crypto economy is instilled with the same trust and peace of mind that consumers currently experience with more traditional payment methods.
You'd have to be living under a rock [in the past few years], to give such a statement!

I hope this type of measure is a good thing for this market.
I highly doubt it'd have a positive impact on the market [it'd be more beneficial to them].

Or why else would they sell when the government's crazy batshit is just starting to take off?
Regardless of the acquisition part, it opens the door to more/new opportunities [despite having my doubts over its future success, to them, it's a no-brainer].
2152  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Newbies] My definition of Bitcointalk.org on: September 10, 2021, 12:44:07 PM
earning some amounts of dollars weekly through campaign or bounty
Small correction: It should be BTCitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

It will interest you to know that you can get a loan here too.
Since this thread is addressed to Newbies, then you should probably mention the following thread: [EDU] The Rule of "No Collateral, No Loan" - IGNORE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Remember to Trade with caution.
You might want to talk about escrow providers as well [this might look like self-promotion, but it's not].
2153  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Scam] Achillescoins exchange on: September 10, 2021, 04:57:41 AM
Thank you for finding and archiving them, I added this information in first
You're very welcome Smiley

they are identical with website I found, and only difference is with domain names and text, logo is also identical.
Exactly... I have a strong feeling that they're not connected to one another [multiple owners] and just purchased an exchange theme from one of those unethical digital marketplaces!
- I tried to look for a clue by viewing each of their page sources, but as soon as I used the "CTRL + F" shortcut, it freezes the page.

I didn't have time to archive About page but I see that all this website say they are based in Australia Smiley
You're right and this time, I didn't do it on purpose since clearly, they're just a bunch of carbon copies.
2154  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Filipino crypto users on: September 09, 2021, 06:04:02 PM
Yung mga friends ko sa Facebook na involved sa Cryptocurrency ay tinanong ko kung ano account nila sa Bitcointalk and sad to say karamihan sa kanila ay di alam kung ano ang Bitcointalk,
Ganyan din ang case ko nung 2011... Nadiscover ko ang BTCitcoin sa isang gaming related facebook group and I even mined a few pero it took me 4 more years bago ko pa nadiscover ang BTCitcointalk [buong story].
- Ang main issue kung bakit madalas walang alam ang mga Facebook cryptrocurrency users tungkol sa forum na ito ay dahil lang sa mga group admins na hindi naglalagay kung saan galing yung mga pinopost nilang impormasyon.

Bitrefill removed the Bitrefill Balance Card? :/
It's the 3rd day I log in to check but don"t see it anymore (EUR, as well USD). It was something useful when you wanted to avoid volatility. I now have some bucks on my account that I can't spend since there is always a minimum purchase

Am I blind or?
It no longer shows up in the search results [through Bitrefill], but I did manage [thanks to Google] to find their links and it seems that they'll be introducing an improved version soon:

Escrow no interest. You can come, check and pay on pick-up
That's not enough! The way I see it [in theory, so don't get offended], nothing stops you [and your friends] from robbing the person that shows up at your place with a lot of cash/BTCitcoins.

  • When it comes to users with no reputation [e.g. you and most of the Newbies out there], you should "always" provide some sort of proof, before hoping the buyer would consider making the purchase [not the other way around].
    • Use "this" format to post images of the sealed S19j PRO boxes [it'll increase your chances, but the escrow part is still a red flag].
      Note: Clearly show the side that has the labels/stickers!
2157  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Scam] Achillescoins exchange on: September 09, 2021, 09:32:47 AM
They say that they are located in Australia
You forgot to archive the page that had that information, so here it is: About Us [archived]

I did some digging and found other "fake" websites that were using that exact same template and content:

2158  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Interview session with store owner accepting bitcoin... on: September 09, 2021, 07:50:40 AM
As I was passing by the road I see a board up the store that bitcoin payments are accepted here and was surprised to see this and immediately went in to meet the owner out of curiosity.
I really liked every bit of that interview, but it would've been better if there was also a picture of the board in question [both of the images that you've included aren't that clear and AFAICS, none of them have a BTCitcoin symbol in them].

The store owner can convert his bitcoin into stablecoin to stay risk free.
Unfortunately, that's not true and it'll just lead to other risks: [UPDATED] PSA: Most Stablecoins Can Be Frozen, Even in Your Own Wallets
2159  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do I need to know before buying from a Bitcoin ATM? on: September 08, 2021, 05:57:14 PM
is it possible for the owners to have done some modifications to the ATM?
In theory, yes [e.g. here's one, but it didn't happen to an InstaCoin machine].

Could the ATM log my information and keep it/resell it somewhere?
Yes, it could:

  • The new limit on transactions is $980.
  • We have new obligations to monitor and report on suspicious transactions and large transactions.

My second question is what do I need to know before I buy from the ATM? Will I need my ID or anything? Will I need a QR code of my Bitcoin address?
I couldn't find an ID requirement on their website and on "this video [it already shows the whole process]", but take note of the following "limits".
2160  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [List] Gift cards providers on: September 08, 2021, 04:52:38 PM
Unfortunately, however, a minimum purchase is required to use (smaller) altcoins.

For example if you want to use Binance Coin or Binance USD you need to shop for at least 0.7 BNB, which is currently about $250.
I believe one of their payment processors [CoinGate] should take the blame instead and they also have similar restrictions when it comes to higher amounts.
- As a workaround, you can use Binance Pay [if you're one of its users].

Update:
It appears so. For some reason, CoinGate is pulling that amount from Changelly? https://support.coingate.com/en/66/what-is-the-minimum-amount-for-altcoin-payments
That's strange! Just did a test and that's exactly the case: Screenshot
