    What is happening in BCH now is extremely significant for the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem. For the first time in history, a lead implementation is being removed from leadership. The splitting mechanism is providing a check against the power of a rogue development team.

    CashFusion - True Privacy on Bitcoin Cash

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 04:59 PM PDT

    Why are there only USD denominated stable coins?. I could use a GBP stable coin to push adoption to merchants who are shy of crypto volatility.

    It's Fusion Friday!

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 10:36 AM PDT

    CashFusion makes Bitcoin Cash a privacy coin. It's already been used to fuse 791,310 BCH, and has reduced the size of the UTXO set by 53,133 outputs.

    Make sure to spin up Electron Cash 4.1.1 today and get that liquidity flowing! (The more people using CashFusion at once, the more Fusions happen, and the larger your "anonymity set".)


    New to CashFusion? No problem, getting set up is EASY.

    Just download the Electron Cash desktop wallet. It's got CashFusion built in!

    Set up your wallet (and be sure to write down your recovery phrase on a physical piece of paper, especially if you are going to hold significant amounts of coin in the wallet), then activate CashFusion by clicking the icon in the lower right:

    Once it's activated, your wallet will start "fusing" the Bitcoin Cash it contains. Fusions happen over time as their own, separate transactions, and only cost you the network transactions fees (less than a penny). Each fusion transaction will include some of your coins*, so it will take multiple fusion transactions before all the coins in your wallet to be fused. (In the View menu, toggle the coins tab to see all of the coins in your wallet. In the "Label" field, fused coins will show CashFusion info.)

    Currently, Electron Cash keeps fusing your coins indefinitely. While it is on the roadmap to give you the option to stop fusing after some number of fusions per coin, there's no downside to leaving it to fuse continuously besides paying the transaction fees. (And every fusion gives you that much more privacy, while you are helping to provide "liquidity" for other fusers.)

    Also, EC does not yet yet prevent you from spending unfused coins, nor does it prefer fused coins when spending, so it's probably best to leave it fusing and keep your whole wallet fused, and/or pick your coins manually from the Coins tab. (If you want that functionality and/or you're not comfortable picking coins to spend from the Coins tab, you can always switch back to CashShuffle for now in the Optional Features window, accessible from the Tools menu.)

    Here's the CashFusion Telegram group where you are welcome to ask questions. (Just remember to be courteous!)

    Happy Fusing!! <3

    *"Coins" are kind of a confusing concept when it comes to Bitcoin, but you can think of them just like discrete "bills" (or... "coins") in your wallet, but instead of coming in only certain sizes like $1, $5, $10, $20, etc, they can be any amount sent to you in a previous transaction, like 0.618 BCH, 0.000001 BCH, or 123.45679 BCH. (They can also be combined and split up. That happens in most transactions!)

    Cryptopearl.net - part of a well-organized crypto scam ring

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 09:03 PM PDT

    Hello reddit! I've done a bit of digging into a scam ring. This all started from a random stranger messaging me today to help them get their crypto off of cryptopearl.net. They say they want to get their crypto off an exchange because they need to help their sick father who's in Egypt and has Covid, but because they moved countries recently, they can't pull it off for 9 days due to "fraud protection rules" and because all their friends are in China, they can't talk with any of their friends. Their account is geo-locked and then they ask you to mule it for them... the only catch is that you have to pay 0.03 BTC to "verify" your account on the exchange and withdraw said sum for your new pal. Said scammer says they'll totally pay you back and not to worry.

    Just to make sure it's obvious, anything you send to this exchange or it's ilk will be sent straight to the pocket of scammers.

    I've seen this site and sites like it many times over the last couple of years. I've done some digging through their site and found some very interesting stuff.

    1. The images on their chat are all steam cdn profile pictures. And the element's class reads as "image for chat message" instead of profile picture or something a sane developer would use. It's just conjecture... but I feel like a very in-experienced developer put this together.
    2. The description for the site: "Founded in London in 2013, the leading..." was lifted directly from cex.io (a real crypto exchange)
    3. Whois lookup states their site was registered January 2020. A bit odd for something that exists entirely as an online-business... I guess they didn't have a site for 7 years? lol.
    4. Digging beyond the first page references another site called "expohills" (now offline) which is linked in this steemit article as a scam: https://steemit.com/steem/@summisimeon/expohills-com-a-new-scam-website-073bf1e0121f6. Surprise! The site looks nearly identical!
    5. csrf token changes when refreshed in a new browser session, so there is some kind of page generation going on instead of just a straight javascript/html/css site.

    A search for a very specific text from the site "Your payment will be completed after confirmation by the network" came up with a long list of very interesting exchanges that all seem to be identical:

    I checked about half of these... and each one was using cloudflare to hide the real server's location. I wonder how u/cloudflare feels about their services supporting scam rings?

    Certainly also of interest, I found https://qna.habr.com/q/646554 where a chap going by dimavfox appears to be working on the source code for the above sites! The savvy reader can realize that the website is in Russian.

    My Google search that gave the above sites said in total there were about 175 sites. (Many of which are now offline)

    This appears to be a fairly large scam. They must be making decent money off of it because the sites are still up and new sites keep getting setup.

    There appears to be some kind of central control, as all the sites get the same chat messages at the same time... but logging in and posting a chat message on one site does not propagate to the other sites.

    Please be careful everyone! Do not implicitly trust any random site or sob story a stranger shares with you. Make sure you do the smell test. Does it seem like I might get something for doing very little? Do I have to put money or personal details on-the-line before I receive the alleged many-times-greater reward? Is the stranger saying they'll be "doing me a favor?" It's most likely not real.

    How BTC money laundering gets indirectly promoted in US

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 07:01 PM PDT

    It's no big surprise that BTC casinos have had a sketchy history of money laundering and stealing players BTC. But trying to maintain a site that continues to do so has been extremely difficult especially in the US where online gaming has been outlawed. One company has been successfully able to keep these sites alive and thriving through their clever marketing techniques. Catena Media is a legally liscnesed 'igaming' sales and marketing company in the US. They are best known for owing the site Ask Gamblers. Com which handles disputes between players and BTC casinos. What most people don't know is that, though their offshore business in Malta, they are also able to simultaneously represent and work for many of the same BTC gaming businesses that are illegal here in the US. What this means is that here in the US they can promote these sites since they technically have no ties to them within US borders. This would be a worthless endeavor if something wasn't done about the countless complaints that have surfaced about their clients companies. Ask Gamblers.com is the key to making their business model work. By making a site that handles complaints that would otherwise be made public, they are actually able to surpress this information preventing it from public eyes. Who are the most highly ranked websites on AG? you guessed it, Catena Media's clients. This affiliation to known money laundering operations would make them an easy target for law enforcement if it wasn't for their segmented business operations. I got to hand it to Catena Media, they are some smart business folk.
