1021  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why gambling and mixing called bad actors in bitcoin on: May 05, 2023, 10:38:58 PM
both are called bad actors because of money laundering problems, but there are many more interesting positive things about the world of bitcoin that they have not discovered and are very much different from the gambling factor, so this depends on the assessment of each of us but there are some things that are considered negative about the use bitcoin but this is not a crime that violates the law in a country, and we all know there are many transactions that continue to occur every day in conflict and have been supported by the government so bitcoin actors are not evil which will harm individuals or many people, unless they are already misusing bitcoins.

Money laundering in cryptocurrencies can be done in many ways and not just through gambling and mixers.

Generally speaking, gambling is considered bad as it makes you lose money quickly. People become addicted to gambling and have seen ruin their lives. Also, there is some religious aspect too where gambling is considered as a sin in many religions.

Mixers are directly linked with money laundering or hiding the tracing of black money. Although mixers are made with good intentions, but people usually only see the negative usage of mixers.

So now this risk is mitigated. However, I believe that the 6 months is a very short life span for a post to be eligible to be reported. Maybe allowing reports from 2-3 years back would be more useful. For a long time now mods are not overwhelmed by the number of reports, therefore limiting the reports to only 6 months seems too short...

Yeah this means that if the post which is reported is six months old, the mods will not check it if it falls under the following reporting criteria.

We generally do not moderate posts this old for on-topicness, substantiveness, multi-posting, and other "cleanliness" issues.
However, it can still be acted upon if it is reported for plagiarism.
1023  Other / Meta / Re: Can one use UI to correct grammatical errors? on: May 04, 2023, 11:40:32 PM
OP… I think you have a typo in the title. It should be “AI” instead of “UI”.

Let me get this right. So after looking at a certain post, and you want to reply, you post your reply to Lemar AI chat, and then it corrects your sentence with the right grammar?

I have been using Language tools add-on (same as Grammarly) to correct my spelling and grammatical mistakes though it's not 100% perfect, I believe the idea is similar?

I haven't used this lemur artificial intelligence tool but from the OP example, i feel it is a bit different that the other tools like Grammarly available in the market.
While Grammarly corrects your grammar word by word, i think this AI tool can suggest you a whole different sentence making it a better choice than our own constructed sentence. Since AI posts are not been encouraged on this forum, I would not use this tool, rather Grammarly may be a better option to correct the grammatical mistakes in our text.
1024  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Start-Up Funding on: May 04, 2023, 11:01:34 PM

Regarding funding, I'm seeking suggestions for funding a new project in its early stages. We currently have seven prototype versions, and I'm working on the eighth. I've been working tirelessly to explain the project's concepts in plain English and back them up with detailed mathematical documentation. If you have any funding suggestions or know of someone who might be helpful, please let me know.


First of all, you need to mention why do you need to fund your project in an early stage when you have only developed its prototype and there is no final working product ready  Huh

I have no doubt on our intentions but based on previous experiences and crowdfunding of projects, there are many examples where people do not have any working project and their only intention is to collect money from the investors and then run away. Even if the project owners does not run away, they never give any proper attention to their project.

Due to these reasons, it's very hard to trust newbies who come up with an appeal of start up funds. Although not everyone is not same but without seeing the actual end product, it's a total risk and gamble to invest in the project.
1025  Economy / Speculation / Re: Month of May. Bitcoin price guess on: May 04, 2023, 10:46:37 PM
The market right now is stucked around $27k-28k, big indecision in the market and looking at where the price is , I'm short term Bearish as we fail to break above 30360 and retain that level , possibly the bears are trying to take charge and push the price low to test $25000  range , however I'm very bullish mid term and long term on Bitcoin.

We cannot say with certainty that in which month the bitcoin price will break the resistance of 30,000$ and trade about it. Right now as it is clear that bitcoin is unable to break this resistance between 30k-32K. However, one thing is sure that the bulls are back in the business and there is a lot of buying pressure as bitcoin does not fall much and it is trading in a tight range.

Sooner or later this resistance may be broken and then i think bitcoin will fly towards the 45-48K area. At that moment there will be a lot of hype in the market for bitcoin going to all time high and we may see unusual price action in bitcoin.
1026  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Which app or software to track gains and losses? on: May 04, 2023, 03:14:17 AM
Hello everyone,

When I buy a crypto on the Binance spot market, the % gain/loss and the $ gain/loss amount do not appear like on the future market.

Do you know of any application or software that does this by manually entering the purchase price and the amount of crypto purchased?

Thank you for your understanding.
No matter which app you use you can never know the future market. Because what is going to happen in the future is unknown to everyone. If the future could be known through an app or software then people would not have gained so much knowledge about investment or trading.

Always be wary of those people who tell you that they have some app or software that can tell you about the future market, it's a scam. Because no one can tell which direction the market will go. 
Market chart observation can be done by taking into account the experience of the candles and the current and past markets to predict which direction the market movement will take. And only experienced people can guess something like that.

I think you wrongly understand the requirement of the OP. He is not looking for an app which tell him about the future's market or predict the price of bitcoin and crypto. 
He is looking for an app which he may use to track his portfolio. For example, he buy some coins and sell some coins in loss and profit. He needs an app though which the app automatically track his portfolio and at the same time tell if he is in Net profit or Net loss.

There are many app for this purpose, for example Coinmarketcap , blockfolio ,CoinTracking are some commonly used for this purpose. He can try them all and see which interface suits him the best.
1027  Other / Off-topic / Re: Beware! Deepfake AI Scams will destroy your life. on: May 03, 2023, 11:58:09 PM
to be honest, i really salute the development of technology in this era, especially the development of DeepFake technology, even though there are many negative impacts that have been caused, there are also positive impacts that have been caused by DeepFake.

Can you tell me what is the positive use of Deep fake technology? All I have seen are fake pictures and videos of celebrities or politicians on social media using deep fake technology. Though the technology may be very good and advance, i don't see humans using it for any good purpose.  Sad

Why just my life? why not yours? Deepfake cannot be done by everyone, it requires tools and skills and more often it is easier to catch that it's a deepfake.
I understand your concern however if you are out of buying shitcoins waiting for 100x, you are safe.

Of course the scammer has the tools and money and they use it to scam people. The scammer may hire people who are experts in deep fake and they develop these fake videos in order to shill their scam coins. You are right that if we are careful and do not just trust everything blindly, we can be safe from these scams. However, the concerning thing is that too many scammers are active in the crypto world as they think it's easy to scam the crypto investors.
1028  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Warning] Fake SUI Airdrop And Presale Ongoing In Facebook on: May 03, 2023, 11:14:11 PM

Their minimum buy is 0.1 ETH and Maximum 10 Eth. I think they already stole a huge amount of Ethereum from the users as their wallet balance is still 9.529496118732971875 ETH. Also they have transferred a huge amount of Eth from that address already.

This is what we call lack of knowledge and awareness by the crypto users who do not even care to check the official SUI site to verify if this pre sale is real or fake  Huh
It's very easy to create such sites to collect people money in the name of fake Airdrops or Initial coin offerings only because these scammers know that crypto investors are so careless and greedy that they will never verify the details and invest in these fake sites.

I know that there is a hype of SUI token but this does not mean that we blindly trust every site and participate thinking that they are giving very cheap SUI tokens.
1029  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Trust Wallet on: May 03, 2023, 10:55:19 PM
I'm sorry for opening two threads. I saw this sub-forum after. I'm just in a lot of trouble here. I guess I can't attach photos here so I'll try to summarize what their customer service said. The site is Verirax.com. First they said I can't use the funds I earned in the mining pool (153,364 USDT) to pay the capital gains tax, which is 40% (62545 USDT). They said upon completion of paying this tax, they will give me an ETH award double the tax (125091 USDT). And I have only 3 days to complete then there will be a 1% fee. If it's after 5 days my account will be frozen and the tax will increase by another 20%.

First of all, by reading your first post and the title of the thread "Trust Wallet", i thought that you are facing any issue with the Trust wallet and was surprised to read that how can trust wallet ask for taxes etc but now i know its not related to trust wallet but its about the site Verirax.

I haven't have any information about this site but do you know that its a big scam in crypto world where the site will show you that you have a lot of balance in the site through mining or whatever but when you want to withdraw you have to deposit some money (in the form of taxes or whatever). When you deposit, the site will still never let you withdraw and may scam you.

Better stay away from these sites and do not deposit your hard earned money on these sites. You will only lose your money.
1030  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: I think it's time to leave Binance, any alternatives? on: May 03, 2023, 10:38:16 PM
How about hybrid exchanges that combine the strengths of both CEXs and DEXs?
Many used to cite Eidoo, Josyo, Legolas, Nash, NEXT, Qurrex as examples. Half of them are no longer available and the rest have turned into a different type of service. Hybrid exchanges seem to be dead as a class.

I haven't heard about any of the exchanges which you have mentioned in your post. By the way, centralized and decentralized exchanges operate in a totally separate manner. In centralized exchanges, you access the site with the username and password and transfer money to the exchange while in a decentralized wallet, you connect your wallet with the exchange and never transfer money to the exchange.

I do not understand how these two features can be combined at a same time which results in an hybrid exchange  Huh
1031  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What will a mixer do under the mentioned situation? on: May 03, 2023, 03:02:55 AM
We all know about hacks, scams, password leaks and all the shit that's happening in the crypto world and we also see lots of scammers using mixers to eradicate the possibility of them being caught at all (though there are traces, but using mixer saves these scammers at the least, not intentionally).

Now, let's say that a hack happened some day at some exchange for about $300 million (or even $3 million, just e.g.), and the exchange immediately opens up about the hack. For a second, just think that the scammer keeps the coins in his wallet and doesn't move them for some time, however FBI and other major authorities are aware of this hack and they give orders to mixers that if a specific address is provided to the mixers (if they know exactly on which address the hacker has kept the coins), and they ask them to immediately report them about the same, then let me ask some questions:

1. Do mixers know where they're getting a deposit from?
2. If yes, will they co-operate here with the officials and let them know about the deposit?
3. If they do, how will they stop the scammer from moving his funds out of their mixer?

Let's suppose a hacker is reading this. What will be his course of action now. Since the Authorities have asked mixers to keep an eye on this address and do not entertain any request of mixing from this address, the hacker can easily create one or more brand new bitcoin addresses and move the funds to those newly created address. Then he can move the coins from that address to the mixers and mix the coin without any issues.

Secondly, no government have officially allowed to operate the mixers and therefore they have no legal right to dictate the mixers on what to do and what not to do.
1032  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Warning]: AI voice replicating scams on: May 02, 2023, 08:02:58 PM
This is the first time I hear about this type of voice scam. I wonder how much audio the AI would need to be able to create a fake voice recording?
Still, unless you are an older citizen, this shouldn't be something you should worry about. If someone calls you pretending to be a family member, hang up and call them to verify what's going on. If you are still in doubt, ask them questions only those close to you would know. It can be anything you two have witnessed, lived through, spoken about, etc.
A scammer won't know those answers.

The AI technology has gone too far and evil mind people are using it to scam people. I wonder if one day, these scammers may use deepfake videos to scam people  Sad

Also, when you get a threatening call, these people won't give you a chance to hang up the phone call and confirm things. They just create such a panic that you feel that if you do not react quickly and agree on their demands, you might end up losing the life of your near and dear ones. So these people will demand an instant transfer of money.

Anyways, the only way to be safe from them is to keep your nerves and also those who know about this scam will surely act in a more sensible way.
1033  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Always hide your forum email address after registration. on: May 01, 2023, 11:51:44 PM
After creating forum account here, some of us do make mistake of leaving our email public, some people don’t really know about this so after creating account, they just start using it without changing email visibility to private.

Well, when we create an account on bitcointalk, the email visibility is hidden by default and therefore we do not need to experiment with its settings. Some people may make their email visible and there could be number of reasons for this. For example someone offering any service or selling any goods and may want his email to be visible to everyone so people can contact him via email too.


We hope that in the future signatures will stop requesting data publicly and some of them are encrypted in private messages.

The signature campaigns especially the bounties, does not care much about the privacy of the individuals as they often ask for Telegram, Emails when filling the bounty spreadsheet. And those sheets are publicly available for anyone to get the emails / telegrams and use them for advertising stuff.
1034  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mainstream crypto adoption on: May 01, 2023, 11:30:04 PM
I do not think that any cryptocurrency that will be backed by the government or accepted by the government will have any form of proof of work because, in short, it gives individuals a greater degree of decentralization, and competitors can intervene if they do not like the government's decisions.

Therefore, proof of stake is the future if we want to see *environmentally friendly currencies* and not generate clean energies for crypto mining.

Although countries and governments hesitate to promote Bitcoin and crypto, they know the power of crypto and they cannot deny it. Also, just as nowadays, if a country has high dollar reserves with them, they are considered to be a developed nation, similarly in future country strength will be determined by their bitcoin reserves.

Recently i read a news where Bhutan is silently mining Bitcoin for years since BTC was $5,000. We do not know how much bitcoin this small country has accumulated but we must know where the world is heading next. When small countries are serious in getting bitcoin, you can imagine the developed countries will be more concerned to get bitcoin before it's too late, or too expensive. There will be a race to get more and more bitcoin and bitcoins are not just enough for everyone due to their limited supply.

Hey to all, so I'm in Thailand and I have used someone service to convert crypto to cash, and it was so amazing and fast!
I want to recommend it for everyone who need cash in Thailand for crypto 100% safe!

Converting crypto to cash is not difficult in any country as long as there is P2P platform exists. In most Asian countries, people just use binance or any exchange to convert their crypto to cash without any hassle. The real and amazing thing would be when you will be able to spend crypto directly in any country without converting it into fiat.

Also, i do not think anyone should click on the link you pasted. I do not think anyone should click on it. I feel something is wrong with it, I haven't clicked it myself. Roll Eyes
1036  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The two ways to invest in bitcoins. on: May 01, 2023, 01:36:17 PM
Buying big - Although this is generally not advised, I think buying big can be good if you can afford to buy big and then follow up with adding small amounts to what you have. Buying big will help you get a good amount of bitcoins quickly.

I will recommend this method only when you feel that bitcoin is near its all time low, then this might be a good idea to invest in bitcoin once with a big amount. For example, when bitcoin was near 16K-17K, you could have invested all of your money in bitcoin at that moment.


Buying small occasionally, otherwise known by the name of dollar cost averaging - This is method that is advised for people who are not rich, and who do not have enough money to buy big. I think if you have enough money to buy big and follow up with buying small amounts, but you just decide to buy small amounts regularly, you are not doing the best for yourself. 

Dollar cost average is the best method to invest in bitcoin. In this way, even if you bought some bitcoins at a high price, you keep on buying at lower prices too, and hence your average buying price becomes good one and you can really take profits in the next market cycle.
Also, in my above example of buying everything at 16K, may seem good now but at that moment we did not know that it was the ultimate bottom. So even doing DCA at lower prices near all time low is good because no one knows the exact bottom.
1037  Other / Off-topic / Re: Prepare for the life when you get old on: April 30, 2023, 11:34:37 PM

We do have differences in terms of financial capabilities and it was given that there are people who live as wealthy since birth while others live poor and have no option but to survive, though chances to change our future always in our hands if we continue chasing for good opportunities maybe there's something out there that will give us the chance to succeed.

Preparing for the future should always be a part of your life. You never know what's waiting for you and being prepared will give you some good edge to continue surviving whatever the future may like.
Sometimes circumstances can be too difficult for us to start to change something, when the money earned is only enough to feed our family, it is difficult to think about anything else. Now, with rising inflation, the situation will only worsen. So there are quite a few who cannot prepare for a secure old age and simple advice, saving and investing will not help them, and such people cannot count on the help of the state or anyone else either.

Some people just live hand to month for the whole period of their lives and it is not possible for them to prepare for their old age. The preparation for old age and this stuff is only for the rich who have a lot of money and they can invest that money in property or in bitcoin to get the benefit at a later stage of their lives when they are not capable to work.

Anyways, those who have extra money or savings should invest in something (it could be crypto or anything else), that could benefit them in the long run.
1038  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Will you sell because of situations? on: April 30, 2023, 04:45:11 PM
Regardless of the price, I think with this kind of situation, there’s no sense if you are still weighing things, if you will sell or not. As long as it concerns life over death, then it’s an automatic decision to save first the one that needs to be saved, even if it causing all your bitcoin to sell and leave you with nothing. What’s more important here is life over wealth and money. And I think a lot would agree to this.

The situation mentioned by OP is something which do you do not come across every day and it is something very tragic. In that situation, for sure you will sell your bitcoin in order to save a life. However, there are many people who sell bitcoin when the price dumps. They are not in need of money but still sell them because they feel that Bitcoin may go to zero or go more lower. This is immature behavior and is usually done by those who do not have trust in BitcoinBTC.

If you have Bitcoin, you should not sell them unnecessarily and keep them for the future. You may sell them at the peak of the bull market or at times when you need urgent money and there are no other sources to get money.
1039  Economy / Economics / Re: Which do you prefer on: April 30, 2023, 04:18:39 PM
Working as a civil servants have always been my thing, I work from Monday to Friday which to me is normal, I feel proud doing it until I started trading bitcoin.

Trading started making me see things differently, because I no longer wait for my monthly salary, now I earn money daily and week, due to the kind of large amount of money I make in trading I fell out of love for my civil service job, because the money is small  but it is still a decent salary.

Note: in trading I earn base on performance, but even though the market is too bad, I still earn a decent amount of money out of it in a month base on my level in trading.

My question is guys which do you prefer, a steady monthly salary which you know that no matter what, it must come once the month ends or a business/ trading/ any other thing which you can do that you earn base on performance and you have the capacity to earn ten fold of what a civil servants might earn if you are good at it, but there is also a possibility that you may have a bad day in the office which you may even incurred some loss.

Which do you prefer an why.

Well, if you are making good money out of trading and also you are able to make a profit in times when the market situation is not favorable, then it means that trading suits you and you can quit your job and do full time trading. However, this may not be true for most of traders who usually face more loss than wins.

If you ask my opinion, I would say that one should get constant income, either from a day job, business, or trading, however, trading is not for everyone as it needs some skills to be able to trade professionally.

I don't know what other members will say but I think you should negatively tag him, he is basically plagiarizing you by submitting your youtube content as his. it doesn't matter that he submitted the video first since there is clear evidence on your youtube description that the video is yours and not his.

Apt2022  has been negatively tagged and this serves him right. I hope the bounty managers won't accept him in bounty campaigns as he clearly wanted to cheat the bounty in order to get the stakes.

Don't know why some bounties hunter thinks that there are so clever that they can do anything, and no one will notice them or report them.
