The device is offering great specifications and number of exciting features which definitely deserves your consideration while planning to buy a phone. If you do not have a high budget and you are looking for a device with latest specifications, I would suggest going for it.

How to Identify and Avoid Bitcoin Fraud

Bitcoin has earned huge popularity and achievement over the years.  From making millions of dollars to become the victim of scammers it can be nightmare for you. As they say the good comes with the bad so with immense popularity and enormous value, it is definitely in the list of scammers. This means that if you own BTC and are unprepared for scammers you might end up losing your BTC.

If you own bitcoin or planning to buy some you are at the right place. In this guide we will help you understand how to identify scams and be avoid this fraud.

Why Bitcoin is in the list?

While the coin is making money and expanding business, scammers also want to take advantage of this new technology. Since money is the basic need they find the one other way to make profit by not earning.

Lack of understanding: People generally know the creamy things of bitcoin and not actually the basic understanding.  This makes it easier for scammers to paint their mind with their brush.

Unregulated: - There are not standard rules and policies against scammers or fraud in digital currencies.  Hardly we have some authorities that will ever take any strict action against it.

Anonymity: -  It is really hard to track the scammers as it is very easy for them to cover the tracks. Once your bitcoin is stolen it is not coming back to you for sure because there is no backtrack.

Fake exchanges

Often, we encounter advertisements like buy bitcoin at 5-10 % lower than market price and et attracted towards it. This is the trick to make people visit these fake exchanges. While visiting any exchange we should always keep in mind that it should be HTTPS secured. If it is just a HTTP website without s than this is not the right place for you to be.

Most of these websites are unsecured and pack up their bags after a huge scam.

Bitcoin wallet

A wallet is to store your coins and identifying if it is authentic or fake is quiet a tough task. As the wallet is not used to sell or buy Bitcoins the only way to scam is to infect your system with malware and steal your credentials or private keys. Always check for malware and consult with your peers if they have ever heard of this wallet. If the wallet is downloadable app check for resources if the executable files are malware. Keep your system updates and virus protected.

Ponzi Scams

Ponzi scam is also very common and always with fake promises like double or triple your bitcoins in a day or week etc. It is very hard to determine of this site is Ponzi. The offer that they are going to double our bitcoins attracts most of us. But think that they will double our coins when we will give it to them initially and what is the guarantee of getting it back?

It is hard to determine however it seems like referral link in bold in general www.domain.com/xyz/?ref=657

Cloud Mining Scams

If you are a new comer to Bitcoins you need to be very careful. Not all cloud mining operation is scam. Cloud mining is basically shared mining platform where people pool their bitcoins to rent mining machines. If this is authentic, it will give you good results and truly profitable. Always look for the fishy things because being cautious is better than being victim.

Always do a proper research about the mining operations and https link. There are very few things you need to take care of to be protected from scam or malware. If you are unsure at any point or have any doubt, try finding a flag and take a step asap.

Steps to Create Shared Bitcoin Wallet and Why to Use One

Cryptocurrencies is one of the biggest known term now a day and is all set to gain more in future. One of the very amusing feature is smart contract which is basically programmable money. Smart contracts are the automated transactions which are based on certain conditions. Multi-signature action or shared wallet is the application of smart contract.

How shared Bitcoin wallet(Multisig) works

The bitcoin shared wallet application allows users to store both Bitcoin cash(BCH) and Bitcoin core(BTC) and the ability to create shared wallet. Creating a shared wallet is not that touch and gives the advantage of extra security. These shared wallets are also called as multisig(multisignature) wallets.

Multi-signature wallets are close to joint accounts in traditional banking system and is accessible by two or more users. Every transaction in Bitcoin shared wallet must be authorized by all the authoritative holders. Before you spend any coin, it must be approved by co-signer. If the requirement to create a community or trust managed fund these wallets are the perfect solution.

Why use multisig wallet

Shared wallets are the ordinary wallets with not so ordinary features. Using shared wallets has its own advantages and few of them is here:

-       Security: Shared wallets secures all your transactions either for single user multiple devices or shared accounts. A single user can also secure all the transactions of the wallet by creating a shred wallet. If in case due to any reason you lose your smart phone you need not to worry about the transactions. Reason being the thief would not be able to execute any transaction as it requires permissions from co-signers. This automatically increases the security for you.

Account history: It plays an important role in management of shared account history. When the account is jointly owned all the co-owners has access to the history and passbook of shared wallet which helps in accounting management.

Consent of all co-owners: As the wallet belongs to group of people any transaction or action seeks opinion of all the parties. Since the transaction cannot be authorized without the required authorization from the co-owners it promotes mutual consent from all within app.

3^rd party Escrow or mediation: In the cases where you want to buy something online or make any bet.

How to create shared wallets

Download and install Bitcoin.com wallet app. The application is available for iOS, Linux, windows, android.

Navigate to home screen and click on “+” icon to create your wallet.

Select create shared wallet from “add wallet”.

There comes the account set up. Choose your wallet name, your name, Number of co-payers, total number of signature required etc.

The number of co-payers is all the users who has access to this shared wallet and the number of signature required is the minimum number of signature required to complete a transaction with consent.

Once you will click on create a wallet you need to share the invite code with all the co-payers to join the wallet. You can scan the code or copy the text of block and share among all.

You must be thinking that wallet is shared so where is the individual security however it is secured at individual level. Each co-signer will have their own private key which will grant them access to their own wallet.

Note: -

Always keep the number of required signatories less than number of co-signers so that of any of the co-signer loses the device you can still execute the transaction.

Always keep backup of your shared wallet and it is advised to all the participants of shared wallet.

Backlink Analysis With Monitor Backlink Tool

Google launched a new algorithm back in 2012 which changed the concept of backlinks and search engine optimization totally. Before that the more backlinks your website has the more ranking of your page has on google. As I said the concept has changed now. So, backlinks are only valuable if they are good backlinks. Bad backlinks or un natural backlinks can really harm your ranking and lead to google penalty. There are many tools available to analyze if the backlinks are good or bad based on many factors. Let us talk about Monitor tool backlinks.

Backlink analysis:

Backlink removal requires patience and takes time. You must analyze it by yourself which backlinks you want to keep and which one to remove. I have used monitor backlinks and this tool really helped me. The tool is paid but there is a 30-day trial.

• Register your account on monitor backlink: https://monitorbacklinks.com/signup
• Use webmaster tool to export the report of backlinks
• Login to monitor backlink and navigate to “Add new backlinks”
• Hit import links from file. Once you will click on import link, monitor backlink tool will automatically detect backlinks from webmaster tool.
• Now you must filter the backlinks. While filtering backlinks you must sort the links based on below terms:

Trust flow: This shows how trustworthy the backlink is by quality. If the backlink is authoritative and qualitative it will increase trust flow of your website.

Citation flow: Citation flow means how popular the website is without measuring quality of the website like Porn sites. There should be a balanced ratio of trust flow and citation flow.

Spam score: Spam score is another important factor which should not be neglected in any case. It ranges from 0-17 and links with spam score more than 5 are generally spam links.

Status: Backlinks have different statuses to identify if it is “dofollow link” or nofollow link”. If the status of the link is Ok it is do follow and if it is NF, I strongly recommend ignoring those links. If the status is “BNF” it means the backlink is now removed from your website.

Monitor backlink is very active and continuously checks the status of your backlinks.

Google Index status: This is another important term. It shows whether the website was penalized or not. If it is red it means the domain is not indexed and if it is yellow it means that page is not indexed. The domain which is not indexed should be avoided strongly.

Page authority, domain authority, mozrank, TLD/IP and traffic are other factors to be analyzed. You should check all these factors before deciding if you want to keep the backlink or remove.

Once you have found the link you want to remove, tag the link so that you can find the link later.

Or you can generate a report with graphic charts for better understanding.

Once the report is generated you just need to submit a disavow file and you are all set.
