Title: I made a YouTube video "HOW TO USE BITCOIN PRIVATELY - 2021"
Post by: raw_avocado on April 27, 2021, 05:24:33 PM
You can find the video here
https://youtu.be/QYblYDg_awU

The video covers
  • CoinJoins
  • Taint
  • Fungibility
  • PayJoins
  • Joinmarket (https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver)
  • Wasabiwallet (https://wasabiwallet.io)
  • SamouraiWallet (https://samouraiwallet.com/)
  • mercury_wallet (https://mercurywallet.com/)
  • zCash Sidechain (https://www.truthcoin.info/blog/zside-meltcast/)
  • Confidential Transactions
  • Lightning Network

I also expand on why Bitcoin Privacy is important:
  • It necessary for the health of the network
  • Money is a communication tool and as such, it needs to be private

I tried to keep it as simple and surface level as possible.

Any feedback is much appreciated.

Good video content but I think you are missing few things from your list and one of them is Chipmixer website (https://chipmixer.com/) that is probably best tool there is today for Bitcoin privacy.
There are no fees for mixing Bitcoins but anyone can donate if they like their service, and they are also active in Bitcointalk forum.

I never heard about Mercury wallet but it looks interesting layer-2 solution wallet that is still in testing phase.

Thank you very much for your creativity, it was very informative. I ask you to tell me if there will be more similar introductory videos and if you think about creating a whole cycle of such content in order to educate communities, especially the part that is just entering the market and does not know much. For example, the 10 most common mistakes made by novice investors or traders working with bitcoin or alternative cryptocurrencies.

Appreciate your efforts because it definitely not an easy task to explain all those things to the common people but I want to point out that why you didn't give any slides, or real tutorials instead of just speaking about all the things. I don't know people will be seeing especially it only contains talk nothing much attractive like normall what other youtubers do.

Nothing here makes BTC private, you can't make a silk-purse out of a sows ear.

The problem is that BTC doesn't  support encrypted transactions on the blockchain, all is visible all the 3rd party software on earth will not fix the problem.

The problem has already been fixed, its called alt-coin, its why Monero & family exists.

Lastly, most your topics are on 'mixing' which is now taboo, if your address has a history of mixng, then its blacklisted by IRS-coinbase, and ergo your coin is worthless.

...

If you want to make $$ and get famous, then do videos on how to be 'really private' in the new world of alt-bitcoin, that is where the future money is going

Like they said here, nobody wants to see a talking head, you must have graphics, an examples, and code to explain your story. 1/2 the people are oral, and 1/2 are visual; 1/2 the people use their eyes, and tune out their ears and vice-versa,


Its too late for BTC, the BTC-CORE long ago sold out to the IRS/FBI today BTC is hard-wired into the US-GOV spy agencys, the only way to be private, is not to use bitcoin.

I disagreed. The health of the Bitcoin network depends on two main contributors:
- The total hashrates on the network. Huge hashrates will prevent 51% attacks because cost to do attacks will be huge and backward benefit still be unknown. Attacks can end as failures and huge cost will be gone forever.
- Decentralization of the network. It is very important to keep the network running and to prevent 51% attacks as well.

Privacy is for personal use and Bitcoiners need to learn and practice better for their privacy with well managed Bitcoin transactions.

Maybe OP can do the tutorials in the next video, you know that as a content creator, you can't just put everything that you know in one video because it will be too long and people are going to get bored. It's not an easy task if you don't know what you are talking about but seeing how OP delivered what is promised, I think that OP did good.

I skimmed through that video [mostly; can't comment on what you said] but I did notice the lack of having a walkthrough/demo [I did saw a few screenshots but those aren't enough] for each of those parts [mentioned also by semobo] and since you're targeting newbies out there or those that are specifically searching for those terms, then you shouldn't limit your video from reaching its full potential [that's its current state at the moment].
- If I were you, I would've divided your video into several parts so it'd be shorter and would've integrated the above line as well.

Thanks. I haven't watched the video yet, but in any case, such videos are useful for the industry.

OP, first of all.. you put a lot of thought into this video and you are giving a lot of quality information.... but the presentation is a bit boring. I would add some cut in scenes with animations and/or drawing to explain some of the concepts.

You did not explain clearly the difference between "centralized" mixers and "trust less" mixers. If I were you, I would make short "TikTok" videos to target the younger generation. (The younger people are the future of Crypto currencies)  ;)
