Hello. Greetings to everyone.
On the occasion of the opening of the technical Section, I had a question that I would like to raise here for discussion

Some time ago, my laptop was hacked and the hacker was able to steal the Electreum wallet data file, and after that he was able to open the wallet. I do not know how, but he was able to open the wallet and steal the balance.

Several questions come to mind:
1 - How was the hacker able to open the wallet file even though I was using a very strong password?

2 - Are there other ways to encrypt the wallet file other than the password so that it makes things more difficult for the hacker to open the file?

3- Is it possible to access the private key in such a case? I mean, can a hacker access the private key through the wallet's data file?

4 - The last question is hypothetical: I know that there is a possibility of creating an Electreum wallet with two-factor authentication 2FA. In such a case, if I enable two-factor authentication, can a hacker access the wallet even if he manages to obtain the password?

        -   First of all, I'm sorry about the hacker hacking your laptop. It just means that you have to be more careful now. You know that nothing is impossible for a hacker once they find an opportunity to get into your account.

I have been using electrum for a long time, but I have never tried activating 2FA in electrum because it has not been explored 100% as long as I only have the seed and the password is the private key. But it is better if there is a 2FA.

Here's a recent conversion I made from ETH to PAAL. The 12,774 $PAAL is what I have in my account now. I started with 13,306 PAAL, Is the 532 $PAAL Token the cost of converting to $PAAL? I had to pay in $PAAL tokens for the conversion? So that 532 of $PAAL is gone, right? (13,306 - 532 = 12,774)

Swap 1.6274562224301563 ETH For 13,306.844703763 $PAAL On Uniswap V2
From 0x: Exchange ProxyToUniswap V2: $PAALFor 1.6274562224301563($6,448.75) Wrapped Ethe...(WETH)
From Uniswap V2: $PAALToPaal AI: $PAAL Token For 532.27378815($392.84) PAAL AI($PAAL)
From Uniswap V2: $PAALTo0x1cdbC189...47B2A378D For 12,774.570915613($9,428.13) PAAL AI($PAAL)

Just want to make sure I'm understanding.

         -    I have not tried to use Uniswap, but according to what I found out, because it is under erc20, it is not surprising that the fee that can be used there if the erc20 network is used on that platform is really expensive.

Now, about PAAL, I'm not familiar with it either, I respect the choice you made, but maybe you should use your experience as a lesson, op. This is all I can tell you.

Now bitcoin correction running so when Notcoin will listed that time were more down that will be more bad for Notcoin i also think that.

Yes, let's see what's going to happen to this one, I'm pretty sure that it will get some hype in start because the whales on Binance always want to earn something from those new projects that get listed on their launchpad. I have seen such projects getting 10x value within days and I have also seen some of those losing a lot of value within short duration.

        -    At the moment, it cannot be denied that notcoin is highly hyped in various communities on social media platforms. A while ago, someone came across my Facebook feed promoted by a crypto influencer who is not that well known and has only a few followers. He is promoting notcoin, but I doubt it because he says that he will get rich just by tapping it.

Now, if it is listed on Binance, the investors who bought there from the beginning and hold its coin will for sure get a lot of income because we know that usually once it is listed on Binance, they will have a price rally of the coin, and then in the long run, the hype will be quiet or stop because it's over.

The anonymity is the best in the crypto community but to some extent we are still identifying some members through the identification of the country base their accent and locale the person comes from. Recently my country government asked Binance to release the uses of the exchange in the country to them but Binance refused. And if the government had an assessed and access the users database then many people that are in the cryptocurrency ecosystem Bank accounts would been blocked, banned and stopped from operating. But the anonymity helps us.

The same is the situation in our country, the government doesn't consider Binance or other trading apps or platforms legal, they say they are illegal and anything you do regarding cryptocurrencies is illegal even though there is no clear law about it so far. The banking sector is extremely against cryptocurrencies, you can't make transactions or use an account for cryptocurrency trading purposes.

If you have a bank account and you are suspected by the bank for being involved in cryptocurrencies, they will block your account and freeze your funds immediately, and when you ask them the reason, they will say you need to provide proof of funds to get your account released and funds unfrozen.

       -     Many countries still consider Binance to be an illegal platform. But if you look at the Binance management, they are willing to comply to be able to operate legally in a country or government that they will enter for the communities they have.

Apart from this, the only sad thing is that the bank will suddenly block their users just because it is suspected that they have no proof. It's like if you go through the legal council in court, they make accusations, and then they want the person they accused to prove that they're right. Isn't that stupid? Because in court, that is not possible; instead, you should be the accuser who proves that what you think of someone is correct, because if you don't have evidence, you will come out as a liar. That's just their system, or, in short, "f*ck management and system they have."

 Tingin ko yung sa deal ni Digong at Xi, tungkol yun sa exploration sa lugar na yan na dapat ay 60/40 pero iba na ang pangulo ngayon at hindi na itutuloy ang exploration diyan. Kawawa talaga lahat ng pinupuntahan ng US at sana hindi tayo matulad sa Ukraine at Syria.

Ito na lang siguro ang isa sa mga option joint exploration pero kung halimbawa pumayag tayo baka magulangan tayo at in the end magamit lang yung deal para makasakop pa ibang mga territoty ang China.
Kasi very imposing kasi ang China ang iginagalang lang nila ay kung ano yung gusto nila mangyari kaya nakakatakot ding pumasok sa isang deal kasi kahit may deal pwede naman nila ito balewalain kasi yung mga diplomatic protest natin balewala lang sa kanila.

      -   sa tingin ko yan lang din ang magagawa ng bansa natin sa joint exploration kasi kung hindi yan gagawin ng bansa natin ay kahit na lumaban pa ang hukbong sandatahan na meron, alam natin sa ating mga sarili na hindi talaga mananalo ang ating bansa, himala nalang siguro kapag nanalo ang bansa natin laban sa ibang bansa.

Itong china kasi masyadong bully sa bansa natin sa mga mamamayan, porke alam nilang hindi lalaban ang bansa natin sa kanila ay sinasamantala naman din nila. Bagay na nakakainis naman talaga.

     -     bakit op nagdududa kana ba sa pag angat ni Bitcoin papuntang 100k$? Saka sa mga institutional investors na nagiimplement ng dca sa Bitcoin,lahat ba sila nagbenta naba sila ng kani-kanilang mga bitcoin?

Kasi sa pagkakaalam ko ay majority ng mga mga ito ay mga wala pang balak na magbenta ng kani-kanilang mga investors, therefore, ito ay pagpapakita lamang ng mga institutional investors na meron sila price target talaga , at once a mahit nila yun benta na agad sila dahil take profit na sila.

Wala naman akong sinabi na nagdududa ako, marami lang kasi akong mga nababasa na parang nagdadalawang isip na baka hindi na abutin ang $100k presyo ng Bitcoin.

Ginawa ko ang post na ito upang maencourage ang mga baguhan sa crypto o yung mga taong walang kaalaman sa pag-aanalyze sa market na huwag magbenta para hindi sila magsisisi sa huli.

Minsan kasi kahit sinabi mo sa sarili mo na ibebenta mo lang ang Bitcoin mo kapag umabot ng $100k, tapos nabili mo ito ng $70k, at dahil palagi tayong nakakatitig sa chart na kahit kakatapos lang ng halving, nafefeel natin na parang ang tagal nating hinold yung Bitcoin. Nakakaramdam ng negativity na baka babagsak na talaga ang presyo kaya binenta ng mas mababang halaga sa presyo ng pagbili.

         -  ah ganun ba, para sa aking personal na assessment kasi hindi ako nagdududa na kayang maabot ni Bitcoin ang 100k$, dahil sa aking analysis nakikita ko yung direction nya talaga ay patungo sa 100k$ either before end of this or 1 and 2 quarter of next year.

Nasasabi mo lang na parang ang tagal yun ay dahil hindi kana marahil makapaghintay sa araw na marating ni Bitcoin yung 100k$ each, kaya ganyan ang sinasabi mo o ng iba. Nauunahan agad ng over excitement. Sa halip na ganyan ang ating pairalin ay magandang unahin or ipagpatuloy lang natin yung dca method.

     -     bakit op nagdududa kana ba sa pag angat ni Bitcoin papuntang 100k$? Saka sa mga institutional investors na nagiimplement ng dca sa Bitcoin,lahat ba sila nagbenta naba sila ng kani-kanilang mga bitcoin?

Kasi sa pagkakaalam ko ay majority ng mga mga ito ay mga wala pang balak na magbenta ng kani-kanilang mga investors, therefore, ito ay pagpapakita lamang ng mga institutional investors na meron sila price target talaga , at once a mahit nila yun benta na agad sila dahil take profit na sila.

I try to find some apps for indicators. To alert me when indicators for some coin reach some value but I could not find any apps for that so I am trying to create one.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kec.crypto.alert.indicator

I just start working on it there are tons of stuff that needs to be added so every suggestion is welcome.

For now, I just add RSI and MACD signals(that are the main signals that I am using for trading) and maybe MACD can be updated to work in multiple ways. If anyone has some suggestions I am open

I am thinking to add a third signal but not sure which one. Thinking about Bollinger bands.

So what do you think?

       -   If those apps can give you more ideas or knowledge, go ahead and use them. There are so many tools that can be used or ways to use tool indicators. To talk about the indicators or signals as widely as possible.

There are also indicators that can be seen on trading view platforms. And there are so many indicators, but we don't need to use all of them when we have done trading activity; even just one or two are actually fine.
