I don’t think you still understand how a centralized exchange works, they can seize your funds if you violate any of their regulations, and the power they have to seize your coins is because you have to send the funds to them before you complete your transaction. But in a peer to peer exchange, a third party does not hold the funds so they cannot seize it from you.
That's very correct mate, the power centralized exchanges have over someone's funds is crazy and personally I think it's a violation of the person's right.
Yes, centralized exchange rules and regulation does not give room for user liberation but they never violate human right that's if you read their terms and condition before you make use of their exchange site.

Good suggestion. This will skyrocket the use of their exchange to a very high number of traffic. I think in business it's all about what you can offer. That's where Utopia comes in.
Numerous variables generate traffic for cryptocurrency exchanges and some of the main factors that constantly boost the volume of transactions on cryptocurrency exchanges include
User-friendly interface and features
Range of cryptocurrencies and trading options
Promotions and incentives
Meanwhile, the Crypton exchange has the needed user-friendly interface but lacks the range of cryptocurrency. Besides, it also lacks trading volume and liquidity.

No, it depends on the network here, if we use bitcoin as an example, if you wanna double spend a coin you are actually spending that particular coin “twice”, you could send 0.1 btc to a merchant whom you want to purchase goods from and use a very low fee, if the merchant lets you go, and with the transaction still in 0 confirmation, if you set RBF, you can spend that same 0.1 btc again by sending it to a different address with a bigger fee, the miners would drop the first transaction and confirm the second one because it has a bigger fee, and in that way the merchant loses and would not get any pay. That is why it is always good to wait for 1-3 confirmations before letting your customer go, if you accept a coin like bitcoin for payment.
That's really interesting. Thank you. But hold on, the other 0.1btc that was dropped can another blockchain carry it? Also, what is RBF?
I also have heard that just one confirmation is not enough that it can be canceled.
Nah. Blockchain respects its own rules. The idea of double spending is to prevent sending of the same transaction by mistake. When the blockchain notices the same amount is sent to the same wallet twice it will automatically cancel all the two transactions

I agree with what you guys said and another thing people seem to be over-confidence about is cryptocurrency (except the privacy) some people think the government can stop it and they are wrong because the existence of crypto that is not privacy focus is because the government somehow supported it
You have a point because they can shut down the mining of Bitcoin and place high restrictions/tax rules and regulations on crypto investment, payment, and trading.
Thank God i only hold my capital in UUSD privacy stablecoin.
That's correct, we have seen the Chinese government who have done the exact thing years ago. Although this doesn't totally eradicate cryptocurrency in China but it limits people's participation and those that didn't know how to escape the government restriction were unable to invest or participate in crypto activities in China.
#2205 Articles and News » Chromium browsers are the target of Rilide malware that steals crypto » 2023-04-04 22:01:04

Rilide is a new piece of malware that targets Chromium-based web browsers and poses as a legitimate extension in order to steal cryptocurrency and harvest sensitive information.
"Rilide malware impersonates a legitimate Google Drive extension and gives threat actors access to a wide range of malicious operations, including monitoring.
Trustwave SpiderLabs Research noted that attackers were "browsing history, taking screenshots, and injecting malicious scripts to withdraw money from different cryptocurrency exchanges.".
Additionally, users can be tricked into entering a two-factor authentication code to withdraw digital assets by the stealer malware's ability to display forged dialog boxes.
The malicious browser extension was installed as a result of two separate campaigns, according to Trustwave, involving the Ekipa RAT and Aurora Stealer.
Ekipa RAT is spread through malicious Microsoft Publisher files, but Aurora Stealer uses a technique that has become more and more common in recent months: rogue Google Ads.
Both attack chains enable the execution of a Rust-based loader, which in turn modifies the browser's LNK shortcut file and uses the "--load-extension" command line switch to launch the add-on.
Rilide's precise ancestry is unknown, but Trustwave claimed to have located a threat actor's advertisement for the sale of a botnet with similar features in a hidden forum post from March 2022.
Following what seems to be an unresolved payment dispute, a portion of the malware's source code has since made its way to the forums.
The ability to swap cryptocurrency wallet addresses in the clipboard with an actor-controlled address hard-coded in the sample is one notable feature implemented in the exposed source code.
Furthermore, it has been possible to locate numerous GitHub repositories owned by a user by the name of gulantin that contain loaders for the extension thanks to a command-and-control (C2) address specified in the Rilide code.
According to Trustwave, "The Rilide stealer is a prime example of the dangers that malicious browser extensions pose and their growing sophistication.".
"While the impending implementation of manifest v3 may make it harder for threat actors to operate, it is unlikely to completely resolve the issue because most of the functionalities used by Rilide will still be available. ".
#2206 Re: Questions and Help » Why do people invest in cryptocurrency » 2023-04-04 21:35:54
99% of all crypto investors invest in crypto because of large profit of becoming a millionaire overnight. For example, in 2010, one Bitcoin was around a cent; by 2021, it had grown to more than $50,000, so anyone who purchased $100 worth of Bitcoin back then could be a millionaire.

Also, the coin is the proven top coin.I guess you're the user which was advised to make use of this Crypton Exchange listing vote when he suggested the admin to list Litecoin on the Crypton Exchange.
Honestly, we need more cryptocurrencies to be added to the Crypton Exchange so it can get more traffic especially now that a lot of issues is happening in the cryptocurrency market, and if the issue persists more crypto enthusiast will need privacy service. if Crypton Exchange adds LTC, ETH, and some top crypto it will be a bonus for the ecosystem.

There's no doubt about what you guys said but the faucet appear to be a good option for cryptocurrency newbie to start and have the feel of how cryptocurrency transaction work. I could remember the UtopiaP2P moderators also do it on Utopia client.
Faucet may somehow appear to be a good start for newbies but it is a complete waste of time for the newbies either and it's better they start their crypto journey with a fraction of accumulation at least a CRP coin is still at $0.6.
Faucets never appears to be profitable in every angle footing the time spend and the reward involved. It is better to do something meaningful than spend time on the faucet.

It works just send the exact amount and don't send from the exchange to the bot, go exchange -> your wallet -> bot. If there are issues just reach out to the owner here or message him or reach out in chat.
I think he was talking about trading CRP with other users on the Utopia application

From what I see written by the user, he/she already has some strong enthusiasm for Crypton after its performance in the previously bearish market and for the price to be more than a dollar, I expect that to happen in Q2 this year.

Moldovan and Romanian authorities, supported by Europol, have dismantled a criminal network producing and distributing illegal pharmaceuticals across the European Union
Europol has supported the Moldovan Customs and the Romanian Police in taking down a criminal network producing and distributing illegal anabolic and counterfeit pharmaceuticals. The network used popular social media influencers to promote the fake performance-enhancing substances.
The judicial side of the investigation, supported by Eurojust, was led by the Moldovan Prosecutor's Office for Combating Organised Crime and Special Cases and the Prosecutors of the Directorate for the Investigation of Organised Crime and Terrorism.
Influential clients contribute to criminal activities worth EUR 1.5 million
The criminal network was found to be supplying a large number of clients across Romania and the European Union. The Romanian suspect had close ties with gyms in Romania, which the networks supplied with the illegal goods. Some of their clients were well-known social media influencers with popular dietary and nutrition channels, as well as prominent entertainment personalities who often appeared in broadcast media.
The suspects used instant messaging applications and dark web marketplaces to reach customers in other EU countries. To disguise the origin of the products, they used labels from famous e-commerce marketplaces to package the parcels. They then received payments in cryptocurrencies and used crypto-mixers to launder the criminal assets. Based on Europol’s analysis and the information provided by the investigators, it is estimated that the criminal profits may have reached EUR 1.5 million.

You're absolutely right about the new cryptocurrencies tumbler taking its place but sooner or later the Fed and the Europol will shut it down either and there's a chance that they will track down their user. Therefore, it is better to make use of Crypton Exchange.

Is I am to take analysis seriously and videos about the potential of artificial intelligence I have watched then it should be logical to say that artificial intelligence can predict the future price of a coin?
How can an artificial intelligence that is just a plagiarism machine predict the price of a volatile market? We know that even experienced cryptocurrency market analysers find it hard to predict the market's next trend sometime not to even mention Ai.

What I like about the Utopia USD stablecoin is the anonymous, low-cost transaction fee, and it is always pegged with the US Dollar. My enthusiasm increased for the UUSD after I follow its performance in the recent bear that happened in the stablecoin market.

#2225 Articles and News » New Malware in the REF2924 Group's Arsenal to Avoid Detection » 2023-03-22 15:56:18
- thrive
- Replies: 0
The REF2924 threat organization has been seen utilizing previously unseen malware in its attacks against entities in South and Southeast Asia.
Elastic Security Labs' NAPLISTENER malware is an HTTP listener written in C# that is designed to avoid "network-based forms of detection."
In 2022, an activity cluster called REF2924 was related to attacks on an entity in Afghanistan as well as the Foreign Affairs Office of an ASEAN member.
The threat actor's modus operandi shows overlap with another hacker group, ChamelGang, which was documented in October 2021 by Russian cybersecurity firm Positive Technologies.
The group's orchestrated attack may have used Microsoft Exchange servers exposed to the Internet to deploy backdoors such as DOORME, SIESTAGRAPH and ShadowPad. DOORME is an Internet Information Services (IIS) backdoor module that provides remote access to compromised networks and executes other malware and tools.
SIESTAGRAPH uses the Microsoft Graph API for command and control via Outlook and OneDrive, with the ability to run arbitrary commands via Command Prompt, upload and download files from OneDrive, and take screenshots. ShadowPad is a privately sold modular backdoor and successor to PlugX that allows threat actors to maintain permanent access to infected computers and run shell commands and subsequent payloads.
The use of ShadowPad is notable because it suggests possible links to Chinese hacking groups that have used malware in various campaigns over the years. Adding to this growing list of malware arsenals used by REF2924 is NAPLISTENER ("wmdtc.exe"), which masquerades as a legitimate service, Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator ("msdtc.exe"), in an attempt to get under the radar and create persistent. access.
"NAPLISTENER creates an HTTP request listener that processes incoming requests from the Internet, reads all submitted data, decodes it from Base64 format and executes it in memory," said security researcher Remko Sprooten. Code analysis showed that threat actors borrowed or reused code from open source projects hosted on GitHub to develop their own tools, suggesting that REF2924 may be actively building various cyberweapons.
The findings come as the Vietnamese organization was targeted in late December 2022 against a previously unknown Windows backdoor codenamed PIPEDANCE to facilitate post-compromise and lateral displacement operations, including the deployment of Cobalt Strike.
