    I find this well architected scam, mind if i show you my research ?

    Hi, sorry for my bad english.im not sure if i can post this here, but i wish to let people know.i find a well made scam about Bitcoin mining and wallet.

    they they make pings call on cellphone from turkey, if you call back they charge you for the call( a normal scam )

    but i find something more interesting, if you search on google the number who calls you, you find webpages filled with telephone number on multiple web domainsone of those domain dial-tracer.xyz

    inside one of those pages filled with telephone numbers, you find a fake javascript error trying to reach a SQL database

    https://preview.redd.it/akgn49zntw241.png?width=1098&format=png&auto=webp&s=31ee8d1311e16bc4d26acd270798732292d4436f

    that "error" expose login info to an online crypto currency wallet/mining pool

    the error clearly show have inside 4.9854146 BTC (change sometimess)

    website

    mcx.ltd

    login

    rcd1988@gmail.com

    password

    h6iUb_8klb*Apx

    [keep in mind this login info are part of the scam ]

    if you login inside this account you can find a mining pool working at 2.0/ 2.7 TH/s

    https://preview.redd.it/ut983nkrtw241.png?width=1856&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7a03fdd295766ec813a367a6d23dc915905d266

    if you dig inside account settings, you can find there a 5 BTC withdraw minimum to reach, so basically you have to wait 15 days for the next pending earnings ( who never arrive to reach 5BTC + or - 15 days tested before make this post)or charge that wallet about 0.01222 btc to reach 5 btc to cash out.

    basically they looking for greedy people invest the difference to reach cashout minimum request to get 5 BTC, or people pay to increse mining hashrate to get more.

    p.s. if you log inside and change password and email, previus login info keep exist and generate another account when someone login.

    digging around i find mcx.ltd/admin if you open this page you can basically see all support tickets people open asking things like, how change minimum 5btc withdraw, i want back my mitcoins etc etc

    i tried to open a ticket saying, i find you scam, if you want cooperate contact me to this mail, and pasted an random email created just for this purpose, and they contacted me after something like 5 minutes from this email( jamesfrak@hotmail.com il scammer] ) asking me how can i increse the business.

    even after i caught them after a couple of emails they tried to scam me more asking me bitcoin to join their group

    https://preview.redd.it/aeki5mlutw241.png?width=1139&format=png&auto=webp&s=672fb93a9cb98499df0c4fa6654bcb4dcd4a5d93

    i respond saying im not interested in a salary but i can expose them some quick fix for their fake website linking some screenshot hosted on imgur, but i put a sneaky ip logger link inside those image ( i changed the link name with the actual link of the image)

    https://preview.redd.it/cegoppinuw241.png?width=1035&format=png&auto=webp&s=6a166f2a2368be666d399575f9c10eb71ceb5dd9

    and boom the image opened 3 times from the same indian IP.

    ( the italian track its me trying the ip logger before send it)

    and for now that's all what i find, if you have an idea or knowledge to dig more about this scam, you are welcome.if i find more i will edit and add more things :)if you want to help or dig more feels free to contact me in private**and again sorry for my shitty english, my english its pretty basic, im just doing my best please do not roast me.**cheers Kalix ~<3

    Deutsche Bank: crypto could replace fiat and "soar" by 2030

    Posted: 06 Dec 2019 12:30 AM PST

    Proof of keys coming up. This is when we see exchanges collapse!

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 12:11 PM PST

    3rd of Jan: last year this was a primary cause of the collapse of QuadrigaCX - Canada's largest Bitcoin exchange.

    Turned out they hardly had any of the bitcoin that they said they had.

    Even if only a few percent of you withdraw your BTC from exchanges, this yearly event puts pressure on exchanges that are running on fractional reserves.

    Don't be the one left with a "balance" on a dead exchange this year!

    I just scammed a scammer via direct chat on reddit.

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 10:20 AM PST

    An unknown (to me) user by the name of u/James-Gilbert938 contacted me via direct chat on reddit with a relatively innocuous "Hello friend". Hopefully most of you will be able to spot an incoming scam straight away from this first contact alone. I thought that I would engage to see where this was going and he immediately "confirmed" his full name and location to gain my trust (as, you know, all trustworthy people do online).

    James then proceeded to tell me that he was a "certified" bitcoin miner. Yup. Certified and explained exactly how he was able make a lot of money on investments. I responded for the lols to see how far I could take it.

    I asked our new friend to send me some bitcoin so that I could assess the speed of transactions as very recently my mother and I lost a lot of investment money due to an investor not receiving our funds in time (spoiler:this didn't actually happen).

    He did it. Another pic here.

    It was only $5 but it was something. I tried to convince him to double it so I could check whether or not the speed would be affected by an increase in funds sent but he wasn't convinced. Apparently, he's been conned like this before because he's just too honest. Poor honest scammer. I was hoping that promising extra funds from my mother would help sweeten the deal but I think he smelled a fish as he wasn't even willing to send the same amount. You'd think the $7 he'd already sent me would be less than pocket change to a certified bitcoin miner but clearly that $2 means more to him than he's willing to admit. Oh, hang on a minute...it appears that his sense of greed is greater than his common sense! He only went and did it! Now it just so happened that James, despite being an expert in bitcoin, managed to apparently send the funds to the wrong account and immediately believed I'd scammed him. Despite being in bitcoin for "6 years" he didn't consider that he could verify the transaction using a block explorer so I showed him that he'd either made a mistake or never sent it to me in the first place. He resent it (and then apparently "texted" the person he sent the original funds to by mistake for a refund. lol!). So I then I had $15 of his bitcoin. Luckily, for the lols, I was able to spend a little more time and effort in convincing him that this second transaction was way too slow. So he sent through a third transaction!! He tried to style it out, but he couldn't fool me. I now have $25 of the scammer's money.

    Anyway, thought some of you might get a kick out of this. As ever, please be vigilant. Not only in dealing with bitcoin - there are scammers and con artists out there eager to take what's rightfully yours at every step. If anything about a situation seems a little strange then keep your guard up.

    Also, to my new friend the bitcoin billionaire who likes to scam people, how are you feeling?

    Edit: as it's not clear from the post, I scammed the scammer 3 times for a total of $25.

    I'd commit to a future 1btc Tesla Cybertruck

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 09:06 PM PST

    Elon, are you listening?

    Set up a smart contract system such that I deposit 1 time-locked Bitcoin today.

    If and only if the price of the 1 Bitcoin is worth equal to our greater than the value of a Cybertruck when people are taking deliveries on pre orders, I will pay out of the contract-locked Bitcoin the full price for the Cybertruck. If the 1btc is worth more than the Cybertruck the excess is returned to me.

    If BTC price is there by that time, you've got guaranteed sales. Put this option on the website and I'll deposit. Before you do though, buy up a bunch because people will be flooding the demand side of BTC.

    Whose with me?? Hodl for a Cybertruck?

    Finally back into Bitcoin after I ruined my life.

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 01:57 PM PST

    In 2017 I was 4 years out of college without a full-time job driving Uber. I got into Bitcoin right after China "banned" it(4-5k). I grew disillusioned with myself. Because I still didn't have a full-time job and had no money my mind-set was gamble gamble gamble until I have at least $500,000 because I thought I would never get a full-time job. Big mistake. I gambled(by trading altcoins) everything away.

    Earlier this year I was in more than 40k of debt and still no full-time job. I saw Bitcoin moon. I got depressed because I had no Bitcoin. A couple of weeks after Bitcoin peaked at 14k , I got a full-time job. Last month I fomo out the dip. I bought 1.66667 Bitcoin at about $7350 each. I had more than 10 during the bubble. But I learned my lesson!

    Hold, don't trade shitcoins, and don't buy 30k of bitcoin on credit cards.

    My only concern is Tom Lee says he's bullish. This is literally the only non-bullish indicator right now.

    Thanks for the support guys! i am shocked my post was actually allowed! I realized that with a lot of popular Reddit communities it's a pain in the ass to even get a post approved to be posted on Reddit. Thank you mods!

    20 BTC bounty - Chinese brute force or dictionary attack

    Posted: 06 Dec 2019 03:52 AM PST

    This is an increased reward since my previous post, and also I have got a potential hint now

    Hello,

    I have old Bitcoin Core wallet files that I remember possible parts of the password, I think it was encrypted in 2013, and that it was likely (but not 100%) without special character but including numbers. So the password might be crackable, also it was most likely in Chinese (probably simplified but maybe pinyin).

    The way you have to do crack this is by using the extract scripts here which will be enough to get the wallet.dat password, BUT not enough to steal the BTC in the wallets. It just contains the encrypted master key and some other info.

    I have a total of more than 10 wallets all with the password generated on the program, totaling to about 100 BTC. So you'll get 20% of each wallet you crack. See it as the hunger games as I'll let anyone with good rigs or chinese dictionary work on it!

    But I'd like to start with one first. If you can do this, message me about your chinese password dictionary or what you can do. Don't bother messaging if you have a poor computer/GPU, it will take years! Or if you have a new/throwaway account...

    Giving BTC on Lightning network ⚡ for Christmas? Bottle brings back the "bearer code"

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 11:48 AM PST

    tl;dr: Bottle has added a "Gift" button that generates a URL. First to claim the sats associated with the URL gets them. This works as a "bearer instrument", ... something you can stuff in a Christmas Card, for example.

    Here's an example (If it doesn't work for you, that means someone else claimed it, and it is gone):
