#1 Re: Questions and Help » what happens if CRP is lost » 2023-07-31 22:10:18
If CRP is lost, it is lost. Forever, irrecoverably, irreversibly. If a private key is lost completely, there is no way to recover it. Someone providing you a way to recover it is very likely to be a scammer.
#2 Re: Questions and Help » Funding Questions. » 2023-07-31 15:14:47
Is the only CRP funding source, mining?
Utopia is a decentralized platform, it doesn't require any direct funding to function properly. Same thing for CRP, which is part of Utopia: it is "funded" with trust by people supporting it. So, in some way, you are correct: actions aimed to support the decentralized platform (mining) also support, or "fund" the CRP.
#3 Re: Questions and Help » What is the benefit of using a paid VPN » 2023-07-31 15:08:01
Well I have actually used both and All I can say is that I regret paying for the VPN service when the free service is also great and there was no difference in service
I totally agree on that! The free service usually shows some advertisements, but that's not a big issue in my opinion. And the service is sometimes even better and more stable than in a paid version 
. Also, in my opinion free VPNs provide more anonymity since even if they sell some information about their usage, no information contains personal data, while paid VPNs might have card numbers, first and last names of a person paying for the service, a phone number, etc.
#4 Re: Questions and Help » What is the best retirement Age? » 2023-07-31 14:57:21
Well anyone retiring by 50 I think it may be due to some health issues or complications because retiring at that age is still very young in my opinion.
Why would a person not retire if he already reached the retirement age? It is better to enjoy life, grandchildren at that age and not waste time going to work every day. In the end, money means nothing after death.

Change your passwords immediately for all accounts associated with your crypto wallet, including the exchange or wallet provider, associated email addresses, and any other accounts that may have been compromised.
Enable two-factor authentication if you haven't already to add an extra layer of security.
How would enabling two-factor authentication help in the case funds are already stolen? There is basically no way to return the funds unless the hacker returns them himself.
#6 Re: General Discussion » How to how to use Idyll Browser » 2023-07-30 20:42:24
The crypto sector likes to pride itself on its independence, but it depends on financing from traditional markets. How much of that funding will go into the industries?
What industries are you talking about?
#7 Questions and Help » Is it safe to use a default avatar? » 2023-07-30 20:38:22
- Hacker
- Replies: 31
It is said that "by default, your avatar is a unique image generated based on your Public Key".
It means there is a one-to-one correspondence between someone's avatar and his public key.
The question is: is it possible to recover the public key given only someone's avatar?
#8 Re: General Discussion » Avatar » 2023-07-30 20:30:09
<p>And in January this year, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) expressed concern over its inability to control cryptocurrency exchanges.</p>
Isn't this discussion supposed to be about avatars?
#9 Re: General Discussion » Is It Possible To Make Other Blockchains Lives On The Utopia Network? » 2023-07-30 20:27:17
I don't think so. The product "Utopia" and its blockchain system is sufficiently pro-playtard will not give the possibility of creating another one inside the blockchain.
I agree. It is probably impossible to make other blockchains live on the Utopia network. Speaking of building a new blockchain inside the Utopia network, it might in theory be possible, although still very unlikely. Nevertheless, I am not an expert on this topic, so everything impossible might actually become possible at some point in the future.
#10 Re: Off Topic » Is file encryption important? » 2023-07-30 20:18:38
Is it important for regular people to encrypt the files on their devices? I've heard that it might even be necessary to encrypt files on cloud storage too. What do you think? And is there some particular program that is really suitable for this? I did some research and so far I thought about going with NordLocker - though it's fairly new, it seems simple enough to use and could suit my needs quite well. There's also VeraCrypt, but it's for the whole hdd and that seems overkill.
I am all for the encryption of everything that could potentially be encrypted! Especially on cloud storage: no one should trust someone else's encryption system.
I hear about information leaks very often on the news, and it's always better for that information to be in an encrypted form. As lolapolooza said, Bitlocker can be used for disk encryption. When it comes to individual files that are shared over the Internet and/or contain some sensitive information, 7zip encryption is mostly enough IMHO, although some more sophisticated tools can also be used.

What is Anglisc? I have never heard of this word.
#12 Re: Channels and Groups » uVoucher » 2023-07-30 20:08:08
I guess it is worth mentioning the Umusic channel (763354DDE4E45852B1ABA87CF2844CA1) where free uVouchers are given daily.
Note: I am not the author of this channel, I am not the one giving out free uVouchers.
#13 Re: General Discussion » mobile app. When? » 2023-07-30 20:00:02
<p>Guys how true is this I heard there is a basketball Channel on the Utopia's application channel, if this is true what is the main purpose of the channel? Is it for prediction, contest or just discussion.</p>
Could you please share a deeplink to this channel? I wasn't able to find it.
#14 Re: Mining and Proof-of-Stake » [proposal] New regulations for CRP mining » 2023-07-30 19:48:59
Other proposal by user:
...
[even later edit]
Someone came up with the idea of requesting 10 CRP in stake for every bot, on PK's feeding on more than one bot. This way, for 30K bots should have initial stake of 300 CRP. However, for only one bot, the stake would be zero.
Oh, that's where the current scheme of mining comes from... I see. Seems legit to me, although the current price of 64 CRP per one thread is a bit overwhelming IMHO.
#15 Re: Mining and Proof-of-Stake » Mining not active with enough Connections » 2023-07-30 19:41:04
<p>All right yes it just needed some time. I was worried for nothing. </p><p>Maybe it will be useful for somebody else!</p>
Yes, it is useful! I've had the same problem when I started mining, turns out I just had to wait for 24 hours.
#16 Re: General Discussion » Beware of crypto recovery services! » 2023-07-30 19:24:39
When it comes to digital crypto wallets, I haven't heard of a single case of successful data recovery. The only thing I heard of is that some websites provide a functionality of "safe" generation of private keys, while in reality this generation is not safe at all (e.x. Walletgenerator.net); this can lead to compromentation of users' keys and irreversible loss of held cryptocurrencies.
#17 Re: General Discussion » Beware of crypto recovery services! » 2023-07-30 19:14:10
<p>If you lose your crypto, take it that it is gone; most crypto transactions are irreversible and the moment it is lost, it is not possible for the owner to recover their funds. There are many scammers out there who are pretending to offer crypto recovery services, whenever you encounter such people, please block them. I know someone who lost his crypto and contacted a crypto recovery service to recover his money, they asked him to deposit another huge sum to help them work towards getting it, as soon as he sent the money, they began requesting for more, this is what they would do until they have taken away all your money.</p><p>Protect your crypto, but once you lose it, forget about it and learn from your errors, if you try to recover it, you may just be losing more money.</p>
I agree: there are a lot of scammers. Although not everything is a scam. For example, it is possible to recover a lost passphrase/key from a hardware wallet. It is usually a very sophisticated task which involves reverse engineering the hardware and utilizing its vulnerabilities. In such case, the procedure of restoring the key may cost a huge amount of money. Nevertheless, I would strongly recommend to never pay for the service in advance. Also, remember that there are very few people around the world who have the expertise to successfully restore this kind of information.
#18 Re: General Discussion » What are the benefits of keeping our investment in real life » 2023-07-30 17:53:49
<p><strong>Let me throw this question out to everyone here for us to discuss about it</strong><br />What do we think it safer if a certain crypto coin drops a bit in market value like from $0.522  to like $0.482, an at that point of $0.482 its was bought, so is it profitable to put it back on sale when the price is high up back in value to $0.523 with at least 74hrs?</p>
Well, it depends. Cryptocurrencies are kinda unpredictable, you'll never know for sure whether it is profitable to sell or buy at some specific moment.
