Am I right or should I report this in some other way?

It's up to you but I always use the report to moderator link first and post here if either it doesn't get handled or it is too complicated to explain in the report text.

Edit:
Also always check on BPIP https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=maremostro

This one is already banned.

I see this member account is still active and all these spammy posts are not deleted.

Shall I wait a little longer?

I thought this thread is created for this purpose to report such findings. I was sure that moderators are frequently here to check out this reports.

Am I right or should I report this in some other way?

Please consider banning* Newbie lima. for plagiarism. He first had just a quote without adding anything, then edited it after iasenko told him to ~snip~ his quote.

Copy

Credits for finding this one:
this is either plagiarism or, at least, a zero-value post.

* I'm not sure if this deserves a ban, it could just be a dumb Newbie mistake instead of plagiarism. Either way, his post doesn't add anything.

Minimized fake accounts in the system due to the 3D user’s face recognition function, organic users and the struggle for actual users.

The world is slowly understanding and getting involved with the trading industry. Upon seeing the vast opportunity in the said industry, it has even penetrated in the digital realm. But because of the fact that to get involved with the trading or Forex industry, not only does it require expertise and knowledge but some huge cash as well to play the game of trade real hard, this makes it totally inaccessible by the vast majority. This leaves a great number of the global population being indifferent about it or finding it hard to start getting into it.

The growing popularity of bitcoin in the world divides people. There are many controversial opinions about digital currency. Supporters, fans and investors encourage people to invest in crypto currency. On the other hand, there are also many opponents, such as China, for example, which prohibits the trading of bitcoins.

Asia invests more
There are two Asian countries that are increasingly interested in cryptocurrency. Japanese and South Korean citizens are found to invest more in digital currency. People from these two Asian countries really receive bitcoin! Many traders use it for their business as well.

Why is that?

According to Reuters, China's cracks have a big impact on this situation. However, there are other factors that contribute to increased interest in bitcoin. The Japanese government has officially recognized the digital currency as a means of payment. Right beside the original money, bitcoin is now the official means of payment in Japan. According to CoinMarketCap, Japan and South Korea are home to multiple high traffic cryptocurrency exchanges.

Another factor that makes a huge impact on the digital currency market in these two countries, is the fact that there are no rules for investor protection, which unfortunately, attracts many swindlers as well. The good thing is that South Korea is planning major improvements by 2017, and will put a lot of effort into transaction security in the bitcoin world.

Also of interest is the fact that Indians are also interested in bitcoin investing. Due to the high volume of digital currency investments in previous years, many cheats appeared in this market as well. Since there are no strict and clear rules for cryptocurrency in India, we can see a number of pyramid schemes in this country.

Who's next?

By 2014, we can see a huge increase in bitcoin investments around the world. Leading countries, according to Coindesk, where for example almost all North America, India, Panama, Argentina, Mexico.

As shown by the infographs below, countries with the largest number of ATMs for bitcoin withdrawal are the United States and Canada, and right after they are British, Spanish and Finnish.

Bits & Cash : Number of Bitcoin ATMs by Country
  • 1. United States => 554
  • 2. Canad => 135
  • 3. United Kingdom => 47
  • 4. Spain => 27
  • 5. Finland => 18
  • 6. Austria => 15
  • 7. Czech Replubic => 15
  • 8. Switzerland => 15
  • 9. Australia => 13
  • 10. Japan => 11

Bitcoin ATMs continent (in %)

  • North America 73.23%
  • Europe 20.42%
  • Asia 4.13%
  • Oceania 1.80%
  • South America 0.32%
  • Africa 0.11%

As we can notice, the bitcoin mania spreads all over the world, from America to Asia, Africa and Europe.

What do you think, which countries will be next to invest in bitcoins?

Today to the scientist to implement the project need to be in some way an entrepreneur. Thousands of scientists live in the world with patents on their hands, which they cannot monetize on their own. There is a gap between science and the practical application of technology. And here is a brilliant idea for the USAT project team. To create a non-profit organization and invite scientists from all over the world to monetize their developments together, and the income from the implementation of projects to reinvest in the research activities of other ideas through the usat token.

I think Neo is much more established, it would be one of the best choices. i would also suggest u look into the newly introduced projects but with a very promising future. Projects like Pundi X, they already have their products running and you are rewarded for holding their token for the next 3 years. i know it carries high risk, but with high risk comes high returns. You can do your research and decide

For me, in any cryptocurrency the bitcoin is the mother, bitcoin is the popular to all users in cryptocurrencies. and because the bitcoin is still alive and its too far to disappear, I will consider it as a future of cryptocurrency not etherium.
I saw in the ranking of cryptocurrencies, the etherium is only number two so if the bitcoin will end then the etherium will next to it.

Everyday we see threads about hacked/locked accounts, which are not only beginners' accounts but also for Legendary members'.  In addition to the brute force hacking risk, there are peculiar risks in the current system and by data breach in 2015.  The security of the forum account has been one of the biggest issue.  The improvement of security, e.g. requiring email verification for changing password/email, introduction of 2FA, automated account recovery system, and the new forum software with stronger security would be ideal.  

Meanwhile, until these features are implemented, what we can do now is to learn how the current bitcointalk system works, how to improve the security of your bitcointalk account, and also what you should do in case your account is hacked/locked.  In this thread, I tried to provide a thorough guide about these topics.  I hope it helps to reduce the number of hacked/lost accounts.

Bitcoin prices hit $ 300 in just under a minute after nearly 48 hours of trading on the sideways, at the same time as the BitMEX platform .
This "extraordinary" incident occurred when the BTC jumped from $ 6,466 to $ 6,745 in a one-minute candle on Bitfinex, and Bitcoin has since continued to rise, surpassing $ 6,800 and peaked at $ 6,899 before falling back to $ 6,840. at the time the post was made.
There is a sign that this price movement, which began at the moment of sudden drop in trading volume, is not entirely "natural". This is because the BTC has risen at the right time at BitMEX, a leveraged electronic money platform that spans billions of dollars in electronic money margin each day, announcing a temporary Interrupt operation for system maintenance purposes.

Cardano, founded by one of the first Erthereum developers by Charles Hoskinson, is a decentralized platform that provides a reliable and scalable complex programmable transfer of value. It is based on technology designed to create a new decentralized economy and democratize finance in emerging markets. Cardano seeks to become a platform for smart contracts by developing a new functional programming language known as Haskell, which allows "to write in a more secure and reliable way because it has a mathematical approach." It will surpass the etherium, I believe it.

Not because bitcoin can't handle large amounts of transactions without paying a large amount of current transaction costs, it doesn't automatically mean it's completely failed. Bitcoin will continue to be developed and will develop positively over time. I see Bitcoin in this way and I believe the increase in irregularities will be done soon.

Not because bitcoin couldn't handle a high amount of transactions without paying a significant amount of transaction fees at the moment, it doesn't automatically mean it has completely failed already.  Bitcoin will continue to be developed  and will evolve positively as time goes by.

The main value of crypto currency is its immutability. Immutability, as it pertains to blockchains, is the idea that the public ledger can not be altered.  This is an important trait for blockchains to have for several reasons:

1)The moment the rules of the protocol change for reasons outside of technical improvements, you open up pandora's box:  Who's to determine what the criteria is for reversing transactions?  Why does one situation fit but not another? Is there a difference between someone who had their coins stolen or sent to the wrong address? If not, how do they prove their LTC was stolen?
2)Without immutability, the blockchain itself is no longer a useful tool for verification because it's transactional history is subject to the community and/or developers.  The reason for this is because those who break the rules will most likely break it again.   
For example, in June 2016 after the DAO hack, the Ethereum community had a choice: 1) fork away the stolen coins 2) deal with the consequences of the fork remain immutable. The community split which ultimately created Ethereum Classic and Ethereum.   
Fast forward a year and a half later and they are once again considering  another fork to refund people their ETH.  Not only that, EIP867 is a proposal to develop a standard to recover funds in the future.  Therefore, they expect and are even preparing to optionally change a ledger which is supposed to be used to reliably record transactions.
3)It maintains fungibility.  If a protocol were changed to suddenly "blacklist" LTC addresses because it is assumed those belonged to a thief, 1 LTC would no longer equal 1 LTC.  1 LTC would only equal 1 LTC as long as it's not associated with certain addresses.
4)It removes the "god-like" powers of developers.  They are no longer able to determine the fate of the blockchain no matter what their intentions may be.

Currently, the only 2 coins i know that have immutability are Bitcoin & Monero, which coin do you know other than these two ?

Everyday we see threads about hacked/locked accounts, which are not only beginners' accounts but also for Legendary members'.  In addition to the brute force hacking risk, there are peculiar risks in the current system and by data breach in 2015.  The security of the forum account has been one of the biggest issue.  The improvement of security, e.g. requiring email verification for changing password/email, introduction of 2FA, automated account recovery system, and the new forum software with stronger security would be ideal.  

Meanwhile, until these features are implemented, what we can do now is to learn how the current bitcointalk system works, how to improve the security of your bitcointalk account, and also what you should do in case your account is hacked/locked.  In this thread, I tried to provide a thorough guide about these topics.  I hope it helps to reduce the number of hacked/lost accounts.

Bitcoin prices hit $ 300 in just under a minute after nearly 48 hours of trading on the sideways, at the same time as the BitMEX platform .
This "extraordinary" incident occurred when the BTC jumped from $ 6,466 to $ 6,745 in a one-minute candle on Bitfinex, and Bitcoin has since continued to rise, surpassing $ 6,800 and peaked at $ 6,899 before falling back to $ 6,840. at the time the post was made.
There is a sign that this price movement, which began at the moment of sudden drop in trading volume, is not entirely "natural". This is because the BTC has risen at the right time at BitMEX, a leveraged electronic money platform that spans billions of dollars in electronic money margin each day, announcing a temporary Interrupt operation for system maintenance purposes.

Blockchain is a data structure that enables the creation of a digital ledger of transactions and shares it within a distributed network of computers. It utilizes cryptography to allow each participant on the network to use the ledger in a secure way without a central authority.

Once a block of data is recorded and placed on the Blockchain ledger, it’s extremely hard to change or remove. Blockchain can be hacked in theory (it would take decades and a supercomputer), but in reality, it’s impossible.

So, in my opinion the blockchain is needed for security.

Blockchain is a revolutionary new way of sharing information and is clearly a valuable and transformative technology but cryptocurrencies are just a fad, the latest bubble from tulips to tech stocks. So, why care about cryptocurrencies at all? In truth, the two are  inseparable.

The tokens that make up cryptocurrencies (from Bitcoin to Ether to Monero) are the means by which one participates in public blockchain protocols. This is not optional. It’s a fundamental feature of the technology. If a public blockchain protocol is valuable, then the tokens through which one participates in it accrue value.

If you’re serious about investing in bitcoin and see yourself buying a significant amount, I recommend using Bitcoin wallets that were built with security in mind.
Ledger Nano S – Ledger is a Bitcoin security company that offers a wide range of secure Bitcoin storage devices. We currently see the Ledger Nano S as Ledger’s most secure wallet. Read more about the Ledger Nano or buy one.
TREZOR – TREZOR is a hardware wallet that was built to secure bitcoins. It generates your Bitcoin private keys offline. Read more about TREZOR or buy one.

Because Bitcoin is on the internet, they are even easier to steal and much harder to return and trace. Bitcoin itself is secure, but bitcoins are only as secure as the wallet storing them.

~1. Offline Mode:
The offline mode of securing bitcoins is called cold storage.

2. Backup:
Backup your entire bitcoin wallet early and often. In case of a computer failure, a history of regular backups may be the only way to recover the currency in the digital wallet.

3. Software:
Keep your software up to date. A wallet running on non-updated bitcoin software can be a soft target for hackers.

The offline mode of securing bitcoins is called cold storage. Cold storage wallets are not connected to the Internet and are thus less susceptible to hacking. Since accessing a cold storage wallet can be inconvenient, it’s best to split the bitcoins you own. Keep a small amount of bitcoins in an online digital wallet for daily trading needs and keep the rest in cold storage. Cold storage takes the private keys in an offline mode, thus decreasing the chances of theft. The practice of using cold storage is not only popular with individuals but even with cryptocurrency exchanges that deal with huge sums and are often under constant threat by hackers. The popular cold storage methods are paper wallet, sound wallets, storage devices (like a USB drive), and hardware wallets.

Yes! I agree always make sure to backup your entire bitcoin wallet early and often. In case of a computer failure, a history of regular backups may be the only way to recover the currency in the digital wallet. Make sure to backup all the wallet.dat files and then store the backup at multiple secure locations like on a USB, on the hard drive

Cryptocurrencies can feel secure, because they decentralize and often anonymize digital transactions. They also validate everything on public, tamper-resistant blockchains. But those measures don't make cryptocurrencies any less susceptible to the types of simple, time-honored scams grifters have relied on in other venues. Just this week, scams have arisen that divert funds from users' mining rigs to malicious wallets, because victims forgot to change default login credentials. Search engine phishing scams that tout malicious trading sites over legitimate exchanges have also spiked. And a trojan called CryptoShuffler has stolen thousands of dollars by lurking on computers, and spying on Bitcoin wallet addresses that land in copy/paste clipboards.

for me, a key step to protecting your cryptocurrency is to store anything of significant value in a hardware wallet -a physical device like, a USB drive, that stores your private keys and currency locally, and isn't connected to the internet. Expert caution against storing large amounts of coins through cryptocurrency exchanges, or in digital wallet apps on your smartphone or computer.

One of the main differences between Bitcoin and Litecoin concerns the total number of coins which each cryptocurrency can produce. The Bitcoin network can never exceed 21 million coins, whereas Litecoin can accommodate up to 84 million coins. Although in theory this sounds like a significant advantage in favor of Litecoin, its real-world effects may be negligible.

The cryptocurrency market has attracted the attention of many people and continues to gain popularity. The most advanced cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Verge, have grown tens and hundreds times in just a few years. The Internet is full of stories about lucky people who successfully stocked up with Bitcoins or Ethereum at the right time.
Many new investors are interested in getting into the cryptocurrencies, but there are significant risks involved. The market may correct 50–70% in a matter of few days, and the ones who are not experienced enough can suffer severe losses. Therefore, it is important to understand the factors behind the course of the currency, and how this can predict the movement of prices.
It is known that the dynamics of the exchange rate is determined by the supply-and-demand. “Price takes all into account", ?that is what one of the basic rules of trading says. These laws are universal for any market. But this is a generalized representation. It is necessary to identify the main criteria that influence market trends in projections for short and long-term prospects for a deeper understanding.

ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) have become a popular way to fund cryptocurrency projects. An ICO is an event in which a new cryptocurrency project sells part of its cryptocurrency tokens to early adopters and enthusiasts in exchange for money today. ICOs provide a way for cryptocurrency project creators to raise money for their operations. Most ICOs raise money in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.

The ICO usually takes place before the project is completed, and helps fund the expenses undertaken by the founding team until launch. For some of the larger projects, part of the ICO money goes into a foundation that provides ongoing support to the project. They also work as an initial distribution model for the cryptocurrency tokens, especially those with a proof of stake consensus algorithm.

The ICO participants are invested in the success of the project. They can help get the word out and raise awareness in the broader community. They also provide early liquidity for the cryptocurrency tokens when they start trading. The ICO participants are also usually motivated by a profit potential if the project takes off and the tokens become worth more than the ICO price.ecome worth more than the ICO price.

ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is a popular form of calling for investment in Cryptocurrency projects. When a company or group issues their own cryptocurrency, they usually create a certain number of Token and sell the tokens to investors in different Crowdsale. Often, developers will accept payment by Bitcoin or Ethereum. Investing in an ICO is profitable, but risk can also occur. ICO is a form of investment chosen by many investors because of its super-profit nature. I have also invested in a number of recent ICO projects, successful projects, and failed projects.

Now a days hackers has that type of technology which can hacks anything. So what's the best way to protect your cryptocurrency investments from hacks?

To find out, we reached out to three cryptocurrency investors and three cybersecurity experts. All three investors have lost some cryptocurrencies due to different hacks. One of the experts, Amir Bandeali, also is an investor, lost about 18 percent of his investments because the exchange (Bitfinex) he was trading with was hacked. That incident inspired him to build decentralized exchanges, which he believes will be the future for trading cryptocurrencies.

i can give you two newbie tips

1. Before you open up an account on Coinbase [or other exchanges](don't recommend any exchange but is easier to keep your coins there), set up an unique email that you are going to use for that account.

2. Make sure to set a really hard and long password, and you are the only one to access it from a piece of paper that you control.
