I know this is very bad, but why did you download suspicious software as the same computer as your wallet?
When you have thousands of dollars, or in your case, millions, you're supposed to make your set-up safer from malware.
That’s true, and you’re right. But I never thought about it. My computer was always open, and a family member needed it. Since her computer wasn’t nearby, I didn’t think much and I agreed to help. Later I was watching YouTube videos and doing a little searching, and everything I saw kept saying it was a false-positive malware warning the tool was clean and there was no issue. That gave me a little courage. For years, I’d never installed anything on my computer, even no antivirus tools I only had basic Windows Defender. That wallet was for years untouched stay there. But that was my mistake: I installed this scam “samfwtool,” and it wiped everything I had. My money is gone, all my details are gone, all my work files are gone, all my business is gone, and even my family photos are gone. He shredded everything. How could this person do something like this to other people?
-- snip -- On April 23, someone else’s computer also got hit with Clipboard hijacker malware. Source link: https://t.me/samfwcom/783On the video, it’s clearly shown that the other user also installed his tool. --snip-- Well even if your pc was wiped it's still possible to recover the data. Contact some forensic recovery expert for that, also this feather wallet is similar to electrum wallet and does have seed option. So did you never backed up your wallet sed offline? When you have $3m, you are supposed to invest in hardware wallet and keep your money safe from malwares and other threats, not leave them on desktop wallet without any backup and install random applications on the same pc.

I won't defend anyone here until I know the truth. I think this requires a comprehensive investigation, including the OP's device. The OP should also have an archive of the files suspected of containing malware.
Speaking of personal data disclosure, is there any information on the OP that hasn't previously been publicly available? I'm assuming it's just the tax ID, unless you've shared that somewhere. Either way, DOXes should be on the "Investigation" board.
All information is publicly available, and there’s no to dox anyone. We’ll set up a dedicated domain for his scam site like (samfwscam.com - SamFWToolscam.com) to warn people worldwide to be careful and to avoid installing Trojans from a Vietnamese user.
Case continue and we offer special thanks to the many individuals who helped us. We’ll also soon move on to create a private sub on dread to share information about this scammer. We’ll have a Vietnamese-language special report coming up soon as well. You can download his 5.4 version from telegram, several public groups and channels keep files. https://t.me/*** DA_Sign_B19/7311 ( WARNING: POSSIBLE MALWARE DO NOT INSTALL)Remove *** MD5 checksum is same of zip file. c67c63e643106e868155b9f705f93f07 Malware scan result. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/e640a65efcae264ad6f758bb3b9da0d37ed8c690bda6f113416558d4bcbbcf3a

Right now what would be really helpful is some way to help guests convert fiat into bitcoin so they can buy our goods.
You can take help of AI (codex chatgpt or claude) and generate an plugin or code for your site that can show price in Bitcoin along with its fiat value.

I find it quite weird asking this, as one can feel very proud and happy about what they have accomplished on one site, only to feel... inadequate, on a larger one.
A few things I have found:
- Ads do not work. They don't even make it to blue checks. - Follow and follow-back does not work. - Getting replied to by a large account does work, temporarily. Because unless there are mainly bots who followed you from a given action, the churn rate should be very low.
So the strategy becomes finding large accounts' posts fast enough, and replying to them.
But how? How to measure if a given post will go viral and its worth taking a shot?
It's simple. Just tweet a controversial stuff. Relationships works faster. Paint a very weird scenario that favours women. Make it something a little bit new and weird. Stick with it and say more if that. Come up with more stories. Encourage bad things but don't make it look like you are encouraging it. Use words that doesn't hurt feelings. For example instead of saying prostitute. Use baddie instead. Try and make your words sweet. If you don't want relationships, use another thing. Main point is that try and be controversial. Hope this helps you. +1 controversial tweets do work and stories about anything thats trending. But to succeed on X, you'll need premium membership with blue check mark. People prefer to follow and read tweets of premium/verified users.

Well I lost almost everything (my job, my reputation and what not) while trying to keep it decentralised but eventually centralization keeps winning
You were tying to keep things decentralized by cloning cards and stealing money? Wow, that's a new one! I'm bowing down to you, beacon of freedom and purity! What you "lost" so far in the market since +120k could be considered part of your contribution to keep Bitcoin safe from centralization and elite capture.
I was a localbitcoin trader (biggest in India in those days) and dealt with hundreds of people everyday. When you are dealing with random people in p2p you can't figure out the cash flow, one wrong person with wrong money and here i am even after 10 years telling people that I didn't do anything wrong except selling bitcoins to a person I didn't knew was into wrong things. This is exactly why I said decentralisation never worked as it should have because people are always ready to abuse it. Anyways not your fault mate, I've gotten accustomed to hear these allegations, thanks to the corrupt policeman of my country and the laws. Maybe someday someday sherlock homes will figure out that it doesn't makes sense. crypto user =/= cards.. I had my own card, I never used it, I liked crypto more.

Well I lost almost everything (my job, my reputation) while trying to keep it decentralised p2p but eventually centralization keeps winning, because decentralisation has flaws under the current laws and system and people always find ways to abuse it for their personal gains. As for elites I think they can do anything and keep manipulating crypto, from dev to media to govt, everyone is under their thumb, they just don't show it.

In each cycle a shakeup happens which is called a crash or end of Bitcoin. Except that it's not the end of Bitcoin, it happens because it's designed this way. In each cycle it tests your patience, it's strength as a network and rewards those who stick it with, those who quit are washed away like that dirt which is seperated from the gold during panning process. It also increasing more holders each cycle, allowing the wealth to be redistributed fairly.
Now you need to decide you want to become gold or get washed away like dirt.

Warning, Possible Market Fall
Get ready, another Golden Opportunity  Predicting the bottom is hard, but I believe that I should probably lower some of my bids if we're truly lucky that another situation for a "Black Swan" will happen this year. Although, it will probably not be as massive as the COVID-19 crash, then surge though. This, consider this as a golden opportunity to buy more instead of panic selling because of crash. Price will go down for sure and stay in similar price zone a while before surging again. I'm expecting it to reach 250k to 300k after the next halving.

Glad to still have you with us. Bitcointalk would not be the same without you. Sorry to hear of your stroke.
Same sentiments. There are handful of people who kept this community safe and vod is one of them. Ps: It's good to see you vod after a really long time.

Regardless of how I try to look at it, attributing the success or failure of bitcoin to the actions of one man no matter who he is right now is really short sighted, how bitcoin closed the year isn't anyone fault or decision, things happen and just because it closed the year in the red doesn't mean it's never going towards the green again, it might be an important time for us seeing as it's the end of the year and all that but if bitcoin was sentient then the end of the year wouldn't really be all that different from any other day, it's all just dates and numbers.
What’s stopping Bitcoin from staying in the red for another year? Or the year after that? Crypto can trend downward for years, much like gold has done historically. If the Democrats sweep Congress and eventually the White House, and the US joins China’s anti-crypto stance, where does that leave us? If the world's two largest economies turn their backs on it, where exactly are we supposed to trade? I'll tell you what's stopping it from staying red for another year. 1. Limited supply and less number of coins in circulation. 2. Worldwide adoption and national crypto reserves. 3. A huge network that's spreading after each cycle. 4. It's use case shifting from transfer of value to store of value.

It's a shame that people still don't understand bitcoin or how it works.
When a crash happens, people panic and think it's the end, in reality it's the start, it's the start of the great wealth redistribution.

Even after a decade and half, merchants aren't ready to accept and hold crypto directly. Your best option is to either buy gift cards and use them or get a crypto debit card. For basic day to day usage both are sufficient unless you live in a third world country.

I don't think anyone would be interested in joining such forum just to give answers. Better try X or reddit.

You being an idiot is already obvious. It is true that I posted an ad to sell a painting for a large sum of money. It is true that I provided an email address to make contact easier, because nothing stops anyone from writing privately through the forum as well. In the ad I clearly stated that I would show the painting upon request to anyone who is genuinely interested. I emphasize that as a seller I am not a beggar, and if anonymouseminer claims that I am, then he is one himself, because he sells physical coins, which means he’s begging? Mr. anonymouseminer is obsessed with me, venting his frustration and verbal aggression; he even believes that I’m not just one person but some group of people trying to scam others — that’s paranoia.
The second post that this idiot accuses me of making was just an idea I came across when searching for information about crowdfunding. I noticed that there is a certain gap worth filling, but I had no intention of taking it up, which I also wrote in the post. I was only interested in users’ opinions and evaluating the concept in terms of future usefulness and the development of crypto. Unfortunately, this idiot doesn’t understand it and continues to spam and insult in every post.
I’ll add that in the ad, one user responded positively and was also called an idiot. This anonymouseminer is truly a stupid little man; he follows me around without having any arguments and embarrasses himself with every post. His frustration blinds him so much that in any substantive exchange he only manages to humiliate himself.
To sum up: I have never begged, never scammed anyone, and I have no intention of accepting even one satoshi for free. I am not interested in anyone else’s money; I just want to sell my painting to someone who can and wants to pay for it. Nevertheless, thanks to such useful idiots, I get more views, which increases my chances from zero to 0.01%, and for that I can thank my personal hater — although he is an idiot — not only because he proves it himself, but also because he called me and another participant, who has a different opinion than him, idiots.
The fact that you know how to abuse trust system despite joining this forum recently makes me wonder if you are even a new user or some old conman with multiple accounts?

Since you are new to this I would recommend you to not trust anyone blindly on internet. You will meet many scammers and frauds who will try to scam you at some point. Try to avoid anything that's too good to be true.

This is actually how big players make their money, they dump when price is high and buy again after crashing the market.
