2321  Economy / Reputation / Re: REQUEST FOR ATTENTION OF: All betking.io Signature Campaign Participants on: August 08, 2021, 08:53:43 AM
In simple terms, all signature campaign participants for the betking.io scam are kindly requested to withdraw because they are in most cases knowingly supporting and promoting a well known scam organisation. All those applying to join the signature campaign or those who promote betking.io will receive appropriate trust and ratings.
Seeing that all of them already had multiple negative ratings for various reasons + previously promoting [except for two of them so far] another known scam [1xbit], I think our best bet is to look for alt accounts that were previously banned [if there are any] and report them for ban evasion [easier said than done].

I mean, who would trust a casino being advertised by a bunch of red tagged and untrusted accounts?
No one sensible enough would.
You have a point but unfortunately, there are still a lot of tech/computer-illiterate people out there that tend to completely ignore such ratings.

I don't think it would be such a bad thing. They already have far too much power in the cryptocurrency sphere, from the exchange, to Brave browser, to Coinmarketcap, to their own shitcoins, and so on. One company having so much power over users, what they buy, what they see online, even how coins and exchanges are "ranked", is not a good thing. Having them broken up a bit would be a good thing, in my view. Not to mention that having so many users' data and so many funds being stored by one exchange is a huge target for hackers and a huge security risk.
When you put it that way, I guess it's not a bad thing that they're being squeezed out from all sorts of angles.

Huh.  I wonder what's going on there that the Binance US unit's CEO would step down.  That rarely happens unless something is seriously wrong with the company or it's a ruse, and the CEO was actually fired.
I was shocked as well and given the fact that they just appointed him back in May [less than four months ago], there has to be an underlying reason other than the "strategic differences" and despite claiming that they "operate independently", I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with Binance holdings as a whole.

I repeat you jackhammer, SHOW ME PROOF OF SOMEONE, INCLUDING YOURSELF THAT WAS SCAMMED ON THAT SITE!!!!!!!
So your first response was to dodge my "valid" question and come up with that nonsense [oops, I forgot you needed time to find an "excuse"]?
- I highly doubt there's been any "real" customer on that newly created fake website but regardless of that, you should be the one to prove its legitimacy, not the other way around!

The owner of this site, i do know for a long time and has always done honest business,
Proof?

you are blatantly accusing others of something you cannot prove,
Try to open your freaking eyes and you'll see the obvious red flags!

makes you look stupider with every response, so give it up retard.
so the more you post, the more stupid you appear,
You've got that part covered perfectly.

If you were selling Toyota cars for example, what is wrong about leaving contact information of Toyota? People may seek more technical information etc.
There's a big difference between that and what heliuminers have done! There's no issue if it was on the product page, but it was placed on a section that was meant to only have heliuminers's own contact information!

Are you for real?
That's funny, I was about to ask you the exact same question!

why is this piece of ^&%* allowed to post lies
It doesn't hurt to look yourself in the mirror, try it Roll Eyes

I'm not going to respond after this, but I genuinely hope your malfunctioning brain would heal.

@CryptocurencyKing
You might want to consider purchasing a "privacy screen protector [e.g. like this one]" for your mobile devices.
- Some of them aren't that good and I'm not sure if you would be able to easily find one in Africa, but having said that, I still wouldn't use it for viewing sensitive information on a public bus.

In addition, even if someone recorded what you were doing on your mobile phone or laptop, the passwords you type are mostly hidden (in the form of dots) so I don't see any danger there.
They could still see the manner in which you tap your screen and easily replicate it [unfortunately].

Heliuminers.com has never claimed to be any other site,
Oh really?! Care to explain why on earth it listed the "official social media" accounts of Helium, under its contacts [specifically where it has also listed its fake email address]?

but what he has not been able to post is EVIDENCE THAT HE HAS BEEN SCAMMED ON THIS SITE ....OR....KNOWS SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN SCAMMED ON THIS SITE.
It's perfectly normal to warn others before an obvious scam takes place!

This statement from CZ should be taken as a warning to all Binance users. Expect more restrictions, more KYC requirements, more privacy invasion.
At this rate, I'm not sure if there'll be a Binance exchange by 2022 [I hope I'm wrong].
- By the look of things, they're falling apart and only have themselves to blame!

On a slightly related matter, Brian Brooks [CEO of Binance.US] has resigned:

Regardless to how my profile here may appear, I am not a ripper, I had a dealing with a real ripper, and I alerted people here of him, so he put a negative on my profile.
In case you didn't know, you're not the only one that could read the "feedback" in question and there's also a "reference thread" linked to it... In other words, that negative rating has nothing to do with "this" warning of yours and you're nothing but a worthless scammer!

I have Paypal funds and need BTC, lets trade.

we will work something out so either party is safe.
Yeah right! Roll Eyes

In short, they plan to have 5% tax on crypto profits, though the number is not set in stone yet and could change. Currently people must pay 19.5% tax on sale regardless of profit or loss.
Not sure if I'm interpreting "this" part correctly, but does the new proposal essentially mean they'd be able to finally deduct their losses?

Exchanges and other services would need to get a license, but the licensing process should be simple.
Looks like a "work permit" would suffice.
2329  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Former Monero Maintainer ‘Fluffypony’ Arrested and to Be Extradited on: August 06, 2021, 04:59:10 PM
Spagni, known online as “Fluffypony,” is accused of stealing approximately $100,000 from his former employer, Cape Cookies, by generating false invoices from fictional entities and routing payment to his personal bank accounts between 2009-2011.
If that turns out to be the case, then he's a di*k Angry

Doesn't he have a legal representative to arrange everything and make sure he's aware of the trial dates?
He does and apparently, there was a misunderstanding [he thought he was excused] and his attorney represented him on that day: Point "#6 and #7".

I think this thread belongs to the "Reputation" board instead.
2330  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Best Hard Drive for Bitcoin Node? on: August 06, 2021, 02:50:59 PM
Please tell me one solid affordable HDD that has more than two year warranty and I may consider it.
I can get very good Samsung SSD with five year warranty easy.
Here you go:

  • Seagate IronWolf Pro 4TB = $146.99
    - 5-year warranty + 3-year data recovery.
  • Western Digital Red Pro NAS Hard Drive 4TB= $174.99
    - 5-year "limited warranty".

Note: I haven't used any of the above HDDs but like what @ETFbitcoin mentioned, NAS HDDs are meant to work 24/7 and IIRC, you just have to reformat it then you're good to go.
2331  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Xiomi Portugal start accepting crypto on: August 06, 2021, 10:48:13 AM
what are you thoughts ?
However, this decision does not sufficiently affect the interest of investors, because it seems that this is a decision made by Xiaomi from Portugal only and not globally.
I have a feeling this might be one of those testing phases and if everything goes smoothly, they'd probably expand it into other markets as well.
- Having said that, @CoinTelegraph included a tweet from their partner [Utrust], but for some reason, that tweet no longer exists [a bit strange].

Does this mean that they'll keep bitcoin or will actually receive fiat at the end of the day?
According to their partner's "website", looks like [screenshot] everything is going to be converted right away but they could also opt to receive cryptocurrencies.

Since you just recently created your website [creation Date: 2021-06-08], I'm curious to know how you were able to strike a deal and become a partner with all of the known ASIC providers you've "listed" on your website?
- While you're at it, kindly include a piece of evidence to show you're indeed one of their partners [I tried my best, but had no luck].

2333  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger App Catalog and Developer Portal on: August 06, 2021, 05:31:29 AM
When it comes to "hidden fees", if the app shows you exactly how much you get, I don't think it's a hidden fee.
I am not sure if those are the hidden fees that one user mentioned on reddit. You will lose plenty of money exchanging through LL, but if they show you the correct sum and you agree to it, I don't consider that to be a hidden fee.

https://i.imgur.com/tdMfJvel.png
You're right, but I wasn't sure what would be the appropriate term for such a thing.
- Perhaps, I should've said "ridiculous" fees instead.

I was interested in checking the rates you get from ParaSwap through Ledger Live and the ones shown when you visit the official app at https://paraswap.io/. The reddit link above was true regarding the rates on LL being worse.
Thank you for checking that part of LL. I was considering purchasing a Nano S for that feature + a couple of the upcoming ones [not to make the switch] but thanks to you, I don't think I should do it for now.
- Having said that, I have no doubt it's a great hardware wallet.

At the moment when I took the screenshot, the official website showed that for 1 ETH you would get 2798 USDT.
Ledger Live had an exchange rate of 1 ETH = 2771 USDT.
That's a difference of $27 and a nice earner for Ledger Undecided
I think that's worse than the reported fee differences on the above Reddit link Shocked

Question regarding with this pala allowed ba na magkaroon ng multiple address sa hardware wallet mo at multiple coins ?. Sorry medyo nangangapa pako sa hardware wallet eh.

Like sa trezor mo is
Merong two address for BTC and meron kang multiple coin sa trezor is BTC at LTC pwede mo hold ?. Like parang exchange wallet sya or just a single coin lang pwede hold?.
Yes, pwedeng dalawa or mahigit pa dun ang mga addresses para sa bawat cryptocurrency at pwede mo rin gamitin simultaneously ang Trezor wallet para sa iba pang cryptocurrencies Smiley
2335  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger App Catalog and Developer Portal on: August 05, 2021, 04:34:59 PM
  • ParaSwap – A DEX for exchanging Ethereum-based tokens.
Have you personally tried using this feature that came out roughly 2 months ago?
- A few users were complaining on both Reddit and Youtube about bugs.

In addition to that, it looks like there are "hidden fees" in place for using that feature through ledger live.
2336  Other / Meta / Re: How can I contact a moderator or admin of BitcoinTalk.org on: August 05, 2021, 01:46:40 PM
It was less with 2$ BTC since I mistook the 3 for the 8.
So you only paid 0.0006350BTC, as opposed to 0.00068350BTC?

The trouble is, the fees are high since i don't have BTC, i do have BNB!
Small correction: "Fees" are actually way too low at the moment, but I think you're using one of those custodial wallets [or exchanges] that "always" overestimates fees.

BNB is not an option but you can also pay with grin [not sure if your other payment would reflect automatically since it's on another network]:

You can also pay via grin.
2337  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2021-08-02] China's Digital Yuan vs Bitcoin on: August 05, 2021, 06:57:22 AM
Interesting article but it failed to mention with Digital Yuan, there's a limit in regards to how much you could have in your wallet [back in June, that was one of its main objectives (not sure if that has changed)].

also known as the e-RMB or the Digital Currency, Electronic Payment (DCEP).
I'm curious to know why would they give two names to Digital Yuan?
- When I googled "DCEP", it didn't appear to be a general term.
2338  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Hardware wallets on: August 05, 2021, 05:21:45 AM
Ayoko din kasi bumili sa mga online store like shoppee and lazada masyadong risky
Check mo sa Trezor website ung mga official re-sellers nila dito sa Pilipinas. If I remember correctly, merong 2
May isa pang official reseller [bali tatlo sila] sa Trezor pero lahat sila nagbebenta sa mga online stores:

  • Crypto King PH [Shopee seller]
    - Official reseller ng Trezor at Ledger.
  • Isawwwshop [lazada seller]
    - Official reseller ng Trezor at Ledger.
  • JT Photo World [Facebook seller]
    - Official reseller ng Trezor at may address din sila, so pwede mo siguro puntahan para icheck yung hardware wallet bago ka mag purchase.

Based on how David described it, most likely he was one of those newcomers that tried using BTCitcoin for the wrong reason [an investment asset] and that has probably led to a disaster.
- It's quite obvious something is wrong with them when all they see, is its volatile nature [BTCitcoin brings more than that to the table].
2340  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin videos on Youtube....and a suggestion for our possible BCT channel. on: August 04, 2021, 02:37:50 PM
It’s almost as if there’s a formula these Youtubers follow, from the thumbnail to the intro music, and even to the content of the videos themselves.
~Snipped~
So here’s my second point: if bitcointalk decides to create a Youtube channel, I’m really hoping whoever’s in charge doesn’t decide to go the cookie-cutter route like all of the above jokers did.
I totally agree with your point but something like this is bound to happen at some point [both intentionally and unintentionally].
- Personally, I don't think it'll be a big deal if it "only" happens from time to time.

I also hope the goal of the forum's channel isn't primarily to monetize its videos,
Based on the following requirements [especially #3], I think it's safe to safe that's not going to be a problem in the beginning, but seeing that @Cyrus has already hired a company, then we should all expect that to happen at some point.

3. Have more than 4,000 valid public watch hours in the last 12 months.
4. Have more than 1,000 subscribers.
