You can try Coincola's gift card trade section which also has escrow service included in their platform. Although I don't have any firsthand experience with the platform this might be your best option of trading your gift cards away for cryptocurrencies but the catch is most offers for gift cards are on pennies on a dollar (highest they have is for iTunes gift cards at .85:1$) which I don't think you will like as a hodler so maybe posting your own offer in the digital goods section might be a good idea for you to start with.
882  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Bitmain co-founder in legal war against shareholders of the company on: June 22, 2020, 11:59:10 AM
I was waiting for something like this to happen when Micree got ousted of his own company but I never imagined that this will be a big bomb like this and we still don't know yet how reliable this news is. Like how reliable is the twitter user Molly at providing crypto news like this? Because it's the first time i'm seeing this twitter handler leaking some news in Twitter's feed and aside from that what is the reason why this person have this kinds of evidence incriminating Jihan with something? This will also be questioned as well as the legitimacy of these documents.
883  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-06-10]Pentagon Docs Reveal The U.S. Has Planned For A Bitcoin Rebellion on: June 22, 2020, 09:13:42 AM
@Harlot. You misunderstood. It is not about a rebellion against bitcoin. It is a rebellion where bitcoin is used as the main source of funding by the dissenters.

Also, there is no type of legal action the American government can do on how to stop person to person bitcoin transactions. It will be a dangerous precedent for free speech.

Freedom of speech? How can that be violated if we are talking about Bitcoin transactions here? When someone is sending or receiving Bitcoin there is no ideas or opinion involved when they are merely transacting in Bitcoin. Not unless you think about their Bitcoin transactions or them showing evidence that they are indeed funding a terrorist organization as part of freedom of speech then you are wrong about it, it simply makes them part of that terrorist group who is planning an attack against their own government. They will have a lot of loopholes to see when it comes on legal actions so I won't be surprised if they will come up with something.

Oladipo could be helping the team but could also very well might hurt the team as well. Remember when Utah didn't had Mike Conley and they played better? Sometimes just because you are a great player or maybe even the best player on the team that doesn't really mean the team will do better. The reason for this is when you are playing as a whole team you get to be a lot more tough to defend, everyone attacks the basket and you have 5 people to guard and if you miss one of them they will score however when you have one super star you have to focus on them

One of the main reasons why Lebron wanted to play with other stars all his career, because if you are playing against just Lebron lead team with no other star, all you have to do is stop him, or slow him down. Hence why having Oladipo could be an amazing improvement or maybe wouldn't be that big of a deal.

Are you forgetting that Oladipo was coming out of a injury when he played this season? Of course he will fail to do impressive numbers right now since his play time is limited and his cohesion with the team  won't be that good. If you are judging him now and how he doesn't contribute well to the team it's because of that, I even doubt that the Pacers will become competitive again without him so he was really that unwanted star that can shine for them. You'll see what I mean if he won't be playing with the Pacers and the team won't have any replacement for him, they'll basically be trash even if Turner is around.
885  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: MNX coin has not recovered and trading was having no activities. on: June 21, 2020, 09:07:56 PM
When you look at their subreddit page you will see that there is no real activity in there and there is a post that catch my us coming from testimonials of their own investors.

Been following the project since ICO in May ‘17. I remember mining like 2 mnx or something off the core wallet before the Bank was even released. Was excited to see growth finally happen after a few months and understood the declines throughout this year to date, and always held some faith for MNX over most other alt coins, but the lack of communication these days is honestly bullshit. Sold off the last of my 4000 MNX last night and earlier today. Ive profited a fair share from this project since ICO price was like under $4 and managed to sell off a bunch back when we were around $23-28. I have about 300 left in a half year parking which ends soon, but I doubt this will be above $1 by that point.

Was a good learning experience and a neat ecosystem idea, but clearly isn’t panning out exactly how anyone thought.

I see in the latest memorandum mention of a better quality of MNX holder ( I see that as a sly slap to those upset at losing so much and it is totally uncalled for ) since I have lost so much on this STABLE coin, I'm going to just sit on what I have and wait it out until the markets pick up, but to be honest I'm going to feel rather guilty selling my coins off to some poor unsuspecting bambi, but it's do that or just accept a total loss ( I'm chuckling because I was stupid enough to fall for the "stable" lies, and they're so blase about it I see they still have not changed the flagrant lies to the right of this screen describing MNX even though they said since writing that it wasn't going quite to plan )

I feel more and more this is just a scam, and now they want people to buy more MNX to lock away and not touch, so that the devs have longer to milk this cash cow before calling it a day and blaming this bear market.

With what happened to MNX coin I think it's a mix of the project team doing some bad moves at the same time their investors losing their trust on them especially when it went down really hard to it's all time high, basically their investors gave up and no new investors really took much interest on what is now considered to be a dead project.
886  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can Signal Trading work for Cryptocurrencies on: June 21, 2020, 07:02:34 PM
Hello everyone. I have been so curious about this lately, can you buy signals to trade cryptocurrencies concerning the volatility and how it moves. There are lot of forex signals out there that you buy and make a lot of money from but i dont believe it works for cryptocurrencies.
In my beginning days of trading, I was looking to buy signals because at those times I was not capable of generating required signals; before learning how to analyse the markets and how to generate signals unfortunately I got into trading. All the houses I have subscribed, not efficiently provided me signals like they might give me after the entry point passed away or something similar to that because some 15 years back we were not having this kind of efficient chat clients but I remember I received signals through yahoo chat and SMS.

Then I slowly started learning about technical analysis which enabled me to generate my own signals. If there would have been some very good house which provided me good signals then I would have been subscribing to them till date. But, now I'm generating signals what I need and I'm saving those subscription fees.

You may go buying signals but learn how to generate them and that would help you on lots of other ways too.

Trading signals in cryptocurrencies are way different compared to what we have for the stock market and forex. Both the stock market and forex trading signal services offer in depth analysis on why they made that buy/sell signal crpto trading signals on the other hand mostly doesn't offer that kind of analysis and they just provide entry and exit points which for a trader wouldn't look convincing. This kind of trading signals are mostly found in Telegram channels and there only goal is for their followers to pump the crypto so the ones who are managing their service can later dump them. On top of that you won't really learn anything from what they are doing as mostly their is a selfish motive behind every of their suggestions.
887  Economy / Economics / Re: Richest BTC addresses can easily create whale alerts everyday on: June 21, 2020, 04:42:30 PM
Nope, I don't see movements from these wallets as some kind of good indication on where the prices are headed since they just basically show up as normal transaction, however if we see this addresses are accumulating Bitcoin in a way that it shows that they are only ingoing transactions and no outgoing transactions from that address this can be a good sign that the whale is accumulating Bitcoin but also this information can also be manipulated by the whale itself and has been done in the past.
888  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another bitcoin scams hit Canada on: June 21, 2020, 01:22:22 PM
I think this has nothing to do with Bitcoin at all but the scam of this people are trying to make. CRA is Canada's version of IRS in America and I've seen a lot of videos in Youtube on how the scam will go down. Usually they will receive a phone call and they will say to that person that they still owe money and they need to pay it in some sort of gift card from the Apple store or in Walmart which I think isn't really a realistic ask by a government agency to pay. Bitcoin is the same why would a government agency pay for something what you owe in a currency not under them as a legal tender? It doesn't make any sense at all and only gullible people can be fooled by that type of scams.
889  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price of a "Satoshi" in the future? on: June 20, 2020, 09:54:55 PM
I really wouldn't expect the value of a satoshi would really go that up high since it would really take a whole lot of demand to do so. If you want to focus more accurately on how will the future price of Bitcoin will be you must be realistic on how things are shaping up for the mass adoption of Bitcoin or at least crypto payments in general in the future and if we are looking at the current situation you would say that we aren't on track on any kind of mass adoption for crypto right now. So with that being said we don't have that kind of demand as well as buying power to push a satoshi that high.
890  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Another way to hide your Seed and Private Keys on: June 20, 2020, 08:11:31 PM
I've read similar methods to this one like how they will jumble the order of the seed phrases are and them only knowing the combination. And to be honest I don't like the idea of messing around the order of the seed phrase as it could really screw me up if something happened bad with it. In your example where you would alter the input of your old phone there is no guarantee that it will be set that way, phones can malfunction especially the old ones and if you don't have any backup for you to decrypt your combinations then you are basically screwed.
891  Other / Archival / Re: [ CWE-79 ] *.nastyfans.org is vulnerable to script injection on: June 20, 2020, 05:24:05 PM
The requested person was informed before disclosing it here.

That's not responsible disclosure.

How much time did you give him to fix any vulnerabilities before publicly disclose them?



OP should have atleast notified OgNasty before injecting any scripts.

Is that an objective standard?  A hacker's opinion?  Or maybe just mutual respect and consideration? 

OP could have done damage if he wanted - or sold the info.  He did the moral thing, and there is nothing illegal about it.

Without the approval of the owner of the site and the hoster, it definitely is illegal. Depending on the country, maybe "just" a gray area.
You can't just start doing pentests on any website/service you encounter.

bob123 is right on this one, OP just by trying to alter anything on nastfans' website without any kind of permission to the owner can be considered as hacking in itself. It doesn't matter if OP has good intentions or not, someone else's property (nastyfan website) was altered/tested by someone who doesn't have any kind of permission too. Posting this earlier without any kind of replies back from either OGnasty or nonnakip is also a bad move made in his part frankly the OP didn't do any kind of good intention by posting this right away.
892  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is your opinion on stable coins? on: June 19, 2020, 04:54:01 PM
I don't have much to share about stable coins, the best thing about them is they are trader's best friend, thanks to stable coin trading is more easy and straight, the store of value feature works amazingly

No there are not. Don't you know most of the stable coins that exists including USDT and TUSD have the ability to freeze your holdings? There developers can instantly freeze your assets without your permission. Since they are pegged to the USD or in any case a fiat currency they are subject to regulations under their government and one of it is about AML procedures that is why their issuer aka the development/project teams can freeze your holdings without you knowing and for any trader I don't think this is a good idea if there is a chance of them holding your capital back.
893  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-06-09] German Stock Exchange lists Bitcoin-backed ETC on: June 17, 2020, 03:44:16 PM
However ETCs are way different compared to what the institutional investors really want which is ETFs.  ETCs are paired up with commodities and unlike ETFs which are paired up with futures contracts which if you look at the market now both isn't doing so well in terms of giving their investors any kind of earnings. I can see why Bitcoin has easily passed being available as an ETC because it is considered as a "commodity" even if it is a digital asset. Now that Bitcoin is actually part of a exchange traded platform people might actually see it's advantages in the financial industry.
894  Economy / Reputation / Re: Earned Merit Race Animation - See if you ever got to top20 merited. on: June 17, 2020, 03:06:03 PM
@OP here are some of my suggestions/requests about the data hoping to find a different view in the merits

- Merit Race in Local Boards - Like what was previously said some members in BCT mostly post in their local boards it will be interesting to see who is winning.


To do that I will need to do this first, as I don't knowc from which board the merit came from with my current data.

I believe it would be nice to make a board race of circulating merits. I don't have that data now, as I don't know exactly how to convert forum posts to boards.
You can't convert this without downloading all posts. I think DdmrDdmr has that data available on his Merit Dashboard.

It looks more complicated compared to what I have imagined it to be but the nice thing about DdmrDdmr's merit dash board is you can filter out merits sent from local sections. But will you have a problem on implementing the data from there to your Merit animation? Because I think this will be challenging and time consuming to you especially when you do it by local board of a country.
895  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 17, 2020, 02:15:49 PM
I think Man Utd need to sign better players than Leon Bailey if they want to get back on their perch. I still don’t think Ole is the right man to bring back the glory days either.

Bailey is probably one of the cheaper yet good options out there compared to wonderkids like Joao Felix, Mbappe, and Jadon Sancho at his position and maybe that's why he is being targeted by them. I can't argue with the potential this kid had and I think he has a chance to do some big contributions to the club interested in him. If Ole Gunnar is looking for a long term project then I think Bailey is one of the best choice in the winger spot and I won't be surprised if he starts contributing right away in the field.
896  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Top 5 most profitable coins of this year on: June 17, 2020, 01:16:54 PM
I just knew this website just about now and I'm assuming that you may have read their data wrong since if we are talking about the "most profitable" crypto in this year we should be looking at their % gains in the 180 day chart which marks half of the year. Without filtering it I'm seeing other cryptocurrencies having bigger gains like Zilliqa at 383.83% gain, Cryptocomchain at 244% gain, DVP at 227% gain, and only KYBER which you mentioned is at the list at 509.26% gain on all of there 180 day price changes.

- Merit Race in Local Boards - Like what was previously said some members in BCT mostly post in their local boards it will be interesting to see who is winning.
- Top Merits received by post - although the results will be similar to what you have now this will give a different view on how much merits the members are receiving on each post
- Top Reciprocal Merit Senders
898  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A trading chart does not play out to 100% on: June 17, 2020, 11:25:37 AM
You can't really put a success rate on technical analysis since everything can go in the opposite direction even if you are 100% sure of your analysis. I've seen this in a lot of time both in my personal trading and the analysis of other people where they go the complete opposite of their predicted move, that's why for any trader that is prepared they always have an exit strategy where they can just jump out of a trader when  their analysis fails. Simply there is still no guarantee that you will win every trade just because you know technical analysis you still have to plan your entry and exit everytime.
899  Economy / Economics / Re: Growing number of institutionnal investors on: June 17, 2020, 09:49:02 AM
What is stopping them?
- market manipulation
- lack of knowledge
- volatility

Aren't this problems can easily solve by them? I mean they have the money to learn and manipulate the crypto market all they want just like what they have been known to be doing in the stock market for a long time now. These problems that you have stated are not really problems for them but if we think about what's really stopping them it's either them being a conservative or traditional investor or their clients are the ones against the idea on pooling their funds in the crypto market, we all have seen statements for conservative billionaires like Warren Buffet against Bitcoin and I think a lot of people in the financial industry is sharing the same sentiments as Warren Buffet.
900  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is a Bad Safe Haven Asset on: June 16, 2020, 11:40:33 PM
OP has a point here in order for an asset to become a safe haven it must deemed to be stable and lack any kind of sudden price actipns like what Bitcoin is experiencing, also the second principle isn't really necesarry to define of an asset is stable or not a price “increasing” won't  really make an asset a safe haven we just need its ability to hold the original value of your capital that's why when the market is going crazy a lot of people tend to jump their cover on stablecoins as it acta out as a safe haven rpotecting their capital from the volatility of the market.
