2241  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: So, i bought a BTC atm (machine) on: August 24, 2021, 02:49:43 PM
Sadly (athough i have put in the LAN cable for internet) the machine keeps saying that it ''has no internet connection''
Have you tried using a different LAN cable [it might be just a faulty one]?

Aslo i can never find something like a setupmanual for it.
It looks like both BitXatm and PlutoBTM use the exact same "model & software" and since they're still around [website - locations], you might want to try contacting them as well:


Or has it become useless now Bitxatm.com is gone?
I don't know about that, but found an interesting article about one of their employees: Inside Job Theft Cripples Bitheus’ BitXatm Network
2242  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paypal in the UK adds crypto trading on: August 24, 2021, 12:32:11 PM
A new crypto tab will be added to the PayPal platform, showing real-time currency prices as well as offering educational content to help answer common questions and learn more about cryptocurrencies, including the potential risks, PayPal said.
To those who have already seen/used this tab in the US, can you guys share a screenshot of it [I'm interested in the educational part only]? I'm curious to know if this is one of those tricks to redirect some of their customers, into using a platform that also happens to be their partner.

PayPal confirmed the new service would begin rolling out this week and would be available to all eligible customers within the next few weeks.
By the look of things, not everyone will get that feature in the UK!
2243  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: I developed a free job listing website for crypto related jobs on: August 24, 2021, 11:25:45 AM
Jobcoiner has at least one advantage : it's free. No intermediate.
The part I've highlighted in black, doesn't always count as an advantage [especially in a platform that both parties should keep their end of the bargain].
- Security should always be your number one priority, or else it ends in a disaster [it always does].

Any other advantages? Cheesy

Are they any promotional methods I can use to ensure as many people are interested in my auction as I can?
Due to your current rank, you're limited to a single promotional method [free] that would probably have little to no impact, unless someone hovers over the website icon on each one of your posts...

Steps:
  • Go to your profile > Forum Profile Information [it's located in the "Modify Profile" section] > Type the appropriate name and link in the Website title & URL fields > Click the "Change profile" button.
2245  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Accepting bitcoin as payment for my business on: August 23, 2021, 04:55:54 PM
I'm in the clothing industry and I believe in crypto. I have my wallet addresses and barcode printed at the door and pos!
AFAICR, you might be the first "brick and mortar" clothing store owner [from this forum] that accepts those cryptocurrencies in their store [I salute you].
- Can we see some pictures [if privacy isn't a concern]?

I try to educate them on other wallets with low transaction fees like electrum.
How about going a step further and introducing them to hardware wallets instead? Wink
2246  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2021-08-21] Inside Afghanistan's cryptocurrency underground as the country plu on: August 23, 2021, 03:01:50 PM
we can say bitcoin is a financial savior.
To a certain extent, yes, but not yet as a whole [for now].

Ironic in all of this is knowing that the population of Afghanistan outnumbers the Taliban terrorists, but the population does not unite to fight the terrorists
In addition to what NeuroticFish mentioned, a large portion of their population has already lost a lot in the last decade or so, and with little to no access to weapons, they can't fight back [even if they want to, it'll never be a fair fight].

In a mostly cash based economy, Bitcoin cannot help much.
Despite having a volatile nature, in this case, it'd help them to preserve/retain their wealth's worth/value.

A big chunk of the population may see this defeat as a victory;
Based on the interviews I've watched recently, I have to respectfully disagree.
2247  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Dogeball poll (like, or not) on: August 23, 2021, 10:24:13 AM
Feel free to express if you like the idea as a coin or not.
I do like it but if I were you, I'd get rid of the other body parts to utilize the space for making his face and the hat slightly bigger [at the center] while the wrench and other balls are coming at him from multiple directions, as opposed to a single direction.

- IMO, it might look a bit weird if those balls aren't evenly spaced out on the coin.
- I do know you used the body parts to show he's dodging the wrench and the balls, but since this will be on a coin, it'll use a large portion of your limited space and you might need to save some for adding a text later.

Best of luck Wink

some idiots focused on complaining to trezor instead on explaining that he should get their trezor since it is an unregulated item.
May alam ka bang link para mabasa din namin yung buong detalye [wala kasi akong makita apart dun sa mga picture na pinost mo]?

some people from UPS and/or customs stole trezors.
Di rin maganda yung naexperience ko sa UPS delivery recently... Binalik nila yung order ko [not from Trezor] sa mismong sender and most likely, ito din ang case dito and based dun sa announcement ng Trezor, wala silang issue sa pag bigay ng full refund.

Would anyone be interested in buying UK Amazon GCs(or any other readily accessible instore UK GC's) paid for instore with cash for bitcoin?
Personally, I would prefer to go with an already established alternative route instead [there are a couple of well-known gift card platforms that cover pretty much everything].
- Having said that, you might get a different response if you move this thread to the "Digital goods" board instead [move button is in the bottom left corner of the page].
2250  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: BetBTC Sportsbook is shutting down. Please withdraw the funds before 1/Sept/2021 on: August 22, 2021, 02:08:26 PM
15 days is a very short time for all customers to notice that the service is closing.
You're right, but it forces their customers [most of them] to withdraw their funds a lot faster, as opposed to doing it with more time at their disposal.
- Having said that, I do agree with @Lucius's point and I wouldn't be surprised to see them extend it in the near future.

I think they shouldn't do that since it's already stated here.

All funds are safe, and there are no reasons to worry - We will pay every last satoshi in credits.
Seeing that they've clearly ignored both "AOBTCT6" and "Slow death" concerns, despite being active and responding to other stuff [either directly by responding through a post or indirectly by sending merits to others], makes me doubt the highlighted part [I hope I'm wrong].

I really want to know how the process of this crime, I mean technically.
Just read the following threaded tweets [8 parts] and you'll see the whole picture:


How we should handle these criminals?.
Always double-check and verify who you're talking with [it's a simple step but unfortunately, a lot of people tend to forget or ignore it].

@libert19
Thank you for posting this [bookmarked].
2252  Other / New forum software / Re: Automatically save drafts every few secs on: August 22, 2021, 10:15:47 AM
That'll be a nice touch but depending on your browser, there is a workaround if you accidentally close the page prior to clicking the preview button...

  • e.g. While using the Chrome browser, you can get the exact page back with everything that you typed:
    • Steps:
      Click the three dots at the top-right corner of the page > History > You should see it under the "Recently closed" icon > Click "Post reply" tab.
      - Everything will be there [even after 10 minutes] if you're using the default settings.
2253  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Another USDT possible scam scheme on: August 22, 2021, 07:29:47 AM
Kahit sa Youtube wala akong nakikitang recent reviews about sa site so it means di sya ganoon ka-hype.
Isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit wala masyadyong recent reviews is dahil sabi sa isang video na nawala daw ito nun Aug, 8 at bumalik ulit nun Aug, 12 [link], pero unfortunately, may nakita parin akong dalawang recent reviews sa YouTube.
- Not sure kung paid review sya or hindi.

Idagdag ko lang yung findings ko [baka may mag basa from their current users]:

2254  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Holding KYC Bitcoin and non-KYC Bitcoin on: August 21, 2021, 06:53:47 PM
A friend of mine bought a small amount of Bitcoin some time ago through Localbitcoins without KYC.
~Snipped~
if the price continues to rise, in the future he may have accumulated $100K or more of which he cannot justify the source.
Have you tried searching the address that LocalBitcoins used for sending the amount in question, on a website like "WalletExplorer"?
- They're great at tagging the addresses that belong to most exchanges.


One way to launder it would be to go to non-KYC ATMs,
Not sure if there's still such a thing as "non-KYC ATMs", but based on what I've seen, all of the BTMs have some sort of a KYC process when you exchange beyond a certain limit.
2255  Economy / Exchanges / Re: [2021-08-20]Coinbase is buying $500 million in crypto and investing future prof on: August 21, 2021, 05:20:07 PM
Coinbase will buy $500 million in crypto on its balance sheet
~Snipped~
Our crypto asset investment allocation will be driven by our aggregate custodial crypto balances — meaning our customers will drive our investment strategy.
Does anybody know if there's a way to "clearly" view or monitor their current balance sheet?
- The best one that I could find for this year, was "this one", but even with that, I'm still not sure where such investments belong on the list [I'm looking for a way that clearly shows the amount for each of their crypto assets].
2256  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Thoughts about Passport hardware wallet on: August 21, 2021, 02:26:53 PM
I think this could be free Bitcoin whitepaper by Satoshi Nakamoto looking like a passport
You were right [it's a nice touch]... Found a podcast [by their CEO - Zach Herbert] that confirms what's actually the surprise gift:

Cheesy

Yeah, I saw that hidden famous retro game that every old Nokia user knows Wink
How did I know it was going to be "Snake" before I even clicked on the link? Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
Why add in gimmicks like a snake game which no one is ever going to use?
There might be more [link], but not sure how reliable it is.

Here is a picture what i download from online though i can't remember from where i download it because it was in my Gallery. Sorry for whom who made this picture but i can't credit you sorry for this.
You can find their logo at the bottom of the image [investing authority].
- They have a page on Instagram:

I know that you can stake multiple POS coins with a Ledger hardware wallet and Ledger live, but I never analyzed how exactly it works and if you are really giving up control of your coins or if they stay in an address controlled by you.  
Based on a couple of videos that I just watched [two different apps on the Ledger live], you'll be sending it to them [unfortunately, it's not the latter one].

Personally, I'd prefer to go with the safest route [saving], as opposed to putting everything in jeopardy [no matter how high the rewards might be].
2258  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Bitcoin price calculator - Calculate live and historic Bitcoin prices on: August 21, 2021, 07:41:00 AM
You are correct, the historical price sources that I used do not not all start on the same date.
Perhaps you should consider using a single source for all of them and just convert everything instead.
- While you're at it, you might want to consider using a different source with more historical data [e.g. "this one" shows prices from Aug 23, 2010].
2259  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The number of active Bitcoin users' addresses has falln to its lowest level on: August 20, 2021, 04:51:48 PM
the number of active bitcoin users' addresses has fallen to its lowest level since April 2020, which is a serious alarm for this popular cryptocurrency.
It's not... Not every fall/decline is an indication that something bad is about to happen. On the contrary, I think it's a positive thing that fewer newbie investors [most likely] are buying/selling at the moment [they just come and go (don't pay too much attention to those numbers)].
- The only thing that should matter, is if the amount of "true BTCitcoiners" goes down drastically [there's no way to accurately measure it (like what @pooya87 said)], as opposed to those that "only" see it as an investment asset!
2260  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: U.S. Government's $10 Million Reward on: August 20, 2021, 01:30:13 PM
U.S. government awards $10 million in cryptocurrency to track cybercriminals.
There's more: They might "relocate eligible sources".

should the trackers ask for escrow?
Since they're dealing directly with the government, then I don't see the point in using one.

I'm curious as to which digital currency is being used as payment by the US State Department.
Looks like they would allow eligible sources to "choose" for themselves.
