A message is plaintext (sometimes called cleartext). The process of disguising a message in such a way as to hide its substance is encryption. An encrypted message is ciphertext. The process of turning ciphertext back into plaintext is decryption. This is all shown in Figure 1.1.
You explain why it's called crypto... When you see the transaction ID, you can't know the private keys of the address that sends that coin, since the information on the transactions is encrypted i think crypto is the right way to call it. And it doesn't only use cryptography for the transactions, we see cryptography in the address generation and in some other process in the blockchain. So, for me, crypto is the right therm for this technology. |

¿Creen que casos como estos podrían abrir la puerta a qué una persona sea arrestada en los Estados Unidos solamente por tener una billetera de Monero y con un saldo de algunos Miles de dólares?
Ya desde hace un tiempo se ha hablado de que el gobierno de los USA y de la Union Europea ha estado dessarollando herramientas específicamente para lograr romper la fungibilidad. Pero creo si así fuera, los gobiernos de esos países no estarían en una carrera para atacar la liquidez de Monero en los exchanges centralizados, delistando Monero.
Romper la fungibilidad es algo prácticamente imposible, es como tratar de desencriptar un sha256, al final desencriptar no es la solucion. Lo único que han podido hacer los gobiernos en contra de monero es eliminar la indexasión de las casas de cambio, pero aun así siempre existira un mercado de compra y venta para esta moneda. Así que no hay mucho que se pueda hacer para detenerla, incluso si envian a los desarrolladores a prisión la moneda seguiría operando y llegarían nuevos desarrolladores a continar con las actualizaciones pero de forma anónima. |

Satoshi is not anonymous as other commenters profess to believe.
Satoshi is Craig Wright, didn't you peasents know?
Satoshi has returned, flipped his previous years of maticulious privacy and security measures, and has decided to make a loud bozo out of himself in a courtroom.
Craig is the real satoshi, obviously.
case closed.
Let me update you... Craig Wright wasn't able to prove he is Satoshi and he lost the case: https://cointelegraph.com/news/uk-court-craig-wright-bitcoin-satoshi-nakamoto "UK court rules Craig Wright not Nakamoto, ending long-standing drama" it's ok to be wrong mate, some of us makes mistakes  And answering to OP, there are ways to be anonymous, and one of them is ToR, and it's name say, The Onion Ring is a multiple-layer proxy system, it means you are not only behind 1 proxy, you are behind multiple proxies until the point where tracking becomes impossible. And that's why the deep web still a thing nowadays. |

he estado pensando sobre el tema y hay algo que me hace ruido.
¿Quieres pasar el bitcoin a cash para tener liquidez o quieres pasar el bitcoin a cash para evitar perder en el siguiente desplome del precio?
Si la idea es convertirlo para evitar perdidas en el reajuste de mercado entonces podrías plantearte el pasarlo a una moneda estable como USDT. Y si por otro lado lo que buscas es liquidez, entonces podrías plantearte la opción de comprar oro directo con bitcoin. El oro sigue siendo algo fácil de vender.

Do you see such elderly people in your country? Or is it only in Africa? Is the younger ones play gamble more than the elders?
Both I think are engaging in gambling. The adoption of smartphones I think contributed to all these siesta moments even in the time when they are supposed to be working. It's the same in my country, you see elder people in the real casinos and not young guys at all, but with elder i mean 50+ YO, and the young gamblers used to do it online, some of my friends have accounts on virtual casinos and they place bets from their phones. But answering the main question, who gambles more? i would say the young gamblers are more, but the old people gamble bigger amounts. |

For something it's called risk, because if something goes wrong then you can lose it all, or at least a big piece of the cake. In the past, i have invested in shitcoins and see them lose 97% of their value, which means, for each $100 invested you only recover $3. And that's the risk that I'm talking about. You can't be sure at all about the markets, and if you decide to buy bitcoin now while the price is $63.3 then you can see it going down to $30k and lose 50% of your investment. So, this is high risk, but patience is a must in the equation.

Hey, llamame loco  pero no me gusta pagar impuestos. Tampoco me gusta ir a la carcel o que me multen por eso no quiero pagar impuestos pero por lo legal. Total que lo que estoy preguntando es donde tengo q vivir y durante cuanto tiempo para poder pasar una buena cantidad de bitcoin (es para el futuro claro) a cash pagando lo minimo. Basta con ser residente fiscal un año en alguna jurisdiccion favorable o como? Hay formas legales mas fáciles si estoy dispuesto a desplazarme o montar empresas? Los impuestos son inevitables en todos lados, sin embargo cada lugar tiene sus modelos de evación fiscal, algunos son legales y otros son ilegales, una forma legal de evadir impuestos es tener 2 empresas y contratar servicios entre ella, así compruebas que el dinero que ha ingresado se ha pagado, y una forma no tal legal es a través de un prestanombres, consigue a alguien que se abra una cuenta en una casa de cambio y que retire el dinero a su cuenta para que lo retire y se lleve una pequeña comisión. Hay varios paises en latinoamérica en donde podrías pasar desapercibido siempre y cuando operes con un perfil bajo. |

I'm a Platinum 39 myself and haven't been active recently, but I definitely see the value in it.
I'm on level 2, and haven't ranked up at all, but i would like to know what's the benefit of leveling up the VIP, I know some casinos give a weekly and monthly reward as a benefit, but not sure if bc.game does this too. And if it's possible i would like to know about the affiliate program too, i have some local friends who love UFC and i was thinking of bringing them as my affiliates. But i would like to know how the affiliate system works on this site. ... ... Thanks for the information AHOYBRAUSE, that VIP program looks really solid, and there are a lot of rewards for those who decide to level up their accounts. And that was a great example iv4n, thanks for sharing it, now I understand how totally worth growing our account on BC, so, i will try to gamble more there, even if they block ELK on my place there are some great available providers. |

Pues es una lástima que desarrolladores con ideas innovadoras terminen en la cárcel, por un lado ellos no tienen la culpa de que su servicio se utilizara para lavar dinero, incluso creo que se podrían haber amparado en el tema de el derecho a la privacidad. Pero todos bien sabemos que el dinero es algo que no puede tener privacidad y esto es debido al mal uso que le dan a este. Siempre detrás de las actividades mas ilegales hay dinero dejando la pista.
Y conforme lo que comenta de Monero, creo que es preocupante, en cualquier momento el gobierno podría decir que la moneda se usa para lavar dinero y ir detras de los desarrolladores.

influencers should be the ones who give inspiration to their viewers to do the right thing or to improve themselves or their lifestyle. For me, if you are an influencer, you should be a role model for your fans because what you do, it is possible for them to imitate it but it depends, there are others like influencers who use their popularity to earn money , let's not clean it up but most of them really have that goal, to make more money even if the exchange is to give bad images to their viewers.
You have a good point here, the streamers should be a good example for their viewers, but the main problem about the gambling streams is the fake balance, we see some streamers placing insane bets of $50,000 each BlackJack hand and some people believe that's real money, but that's where the problem starts, the money isn't even real, they have a deal with the casinos to play with bonus money who has a roll-over. In other words, what they show is a lie. And that isn't cool at all. |

Bastante grave. Considerando que estamos hablando de una billetera que probablemente ha sido utilizada por el grueso de la población en El Salvador, esto podría tratarse de uno de los leaks de información personal ligado a Bitcoin más grandes de la historia contemporánea... Cuando he visto el título de este hilo no pude dejar de pensar que El Salvador realmente habia visto parte de sus fondos siento robados por parte de hackers, me alegro de que no llegasen a eso. Me gustaría pensar que Bukele mantiene toda esa riqueza en una billetera fría y con bastantes pass phrases, anotadas y bajo el resguardo de bóvedad diferentes en los bancos de la nación. Sea como sea, no dudo que los medios de toda la vida de harán eco de esta noticia para desprestigiar la iniciativa Salvadoreña con Bitcoin. Cómo si los bancos tradicionales y los procesadores de pago nunca hubiesen sufrido algo similar...  Por lo menos solo se vulnero la base de datos, como comentas, los btc se encuentran seguros, creo que sería interesante saber con cuantos Btc cuenta la población de el salvador, los btc del gobierno son públicos, pero no olvidemos que hay parte de la población que cuenta con grandes fondos. |

Some faucets still working, a good example is the freebitcoins faucet: https://freebitcoins.com/faucet/If you want to claim BTC you will only get 2 satoshis, but you can claim other coins like Monero (500 sats), ETH (25 sats), and even Bitcoin testnet (0.001 tBTC). The coins go directly to your wallet in the exchange and you can trade them for other coins. But what we all miss is those days when faucets used to pay huge amounts. |

Yes, they can become addicted to a game, but there is no problem if money is not involved, they will not hurt anyone if they are not risking big on each game, for example, someone who be comes addicted to playing chess, that addiction will develop some nice brain skills on that guy, so, it wasn't something bad at all. The problem is when the addiction makes you lose something, like your health or your money, there is where you realize that you have a problem. But if you play games just for fun to relax, then there is no problem at all with it.

- We know that when a casino is regulated, it is normal for them to ask for KYC from their players or gamblers. And if there are other gamblers who don't like KYC, there's no problem;
if they want to gamble illegally, that's up to them, or the Dex casino platform is still their choice, to be honest.
Meaning, the casino is not obligated to those who want to try gambling on their platform. But once you play, there is no choice but to follow their rules; if they need KYC, you have to give it.
You are right and I agree with you that when anyone gambling on any site the person must follow their terms and there is no alternative whether that is regarding the KYC issue or something else. If the rules are impossible to follow then the person should avoid the site. Is the hose who decide the rules, but is the users who decide where to gamble, if the rules are absurd then the user shouldn't play on that site, a good example of this is the sites that only let you withdraw a min of $1000/day, or those sites who limit the max win but doesn't limit the max bet. And that's why is so important to read the terms of service before deciding to pen an account on any casino. And the main problem with the ToS is those clauses that let the house change the rules at any time, that way is a losing game for the gambler. |

Recuerdo y colega programador que solía decir "That's why we can't have nice things", Y es por eso que no podemos tener cosas agradables, y lo decía cuando un aporte era bueno pero suponía una vulnerabilidad. Y les digo esto debido a que El salvador se metió en un problemón con su famosa chivo wallet, la cual ha sido vulnerada por un grupo de hackers, Y no solo hicieron pública la información de casi toda la comunidad adulta de El salvador (5.1 millones de usuarios), sino que ahora decidieron hacer público el código fuente de chivo wallet. Fuente: https://cointelegraph.com/news/el-salvador-hacks-leak-state-bitcoin-wallet |

I'm not familiar with this groups or any hacking groups, but I will speculate that they:
1. hate the government of El Salvador, specially their President for being a crypto friendly
2. this groups are being back up by some people who wanted to bring down the government This is my suspicion. It is an indirect attack on the president. To bring in fear and doubt in the hearts of El Salvadorians to potentially their undermine trust in the bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole. True, this was a move to break the trust of El Salvador people to the president and to Bitcoin, as the article mentions "almost the entire adult population of the country", that's massive, a crazy branch of security that makes from all that people a target for the scammers. From the start i believe it was a terrible idea for El Salvador to launch their own wallet, they should let people to use any wallet software they want, is a stupid idea to do a KYC process for a wallet, that goes against bitcoin nature. |

Pondría en duda si Alphabay fue mayor el el valle de la seda ya que la cantidad de bitcoins transaccionados en SR fue brutal ya que el precio de este era muy bajo. Si hacemos la conversión al precio actual de bitcoin estaríamos hablando de cifras estratosféricas.
Personalmente no sabía de AB, pero esta muy interesante el video, al final estos personajes que se sienten mas listos que el sistema terminan cayendo.

Nice article BADecker, but is hard to make private something that is public by nature, while the blockchain is public then you will leave a track behind each step (transaction), and when your steps are big then the government will start tracking them, even if you feel like you are doing the right steps to stay anonymous if the transaction is up to $1 Million they will find who made that transaction.
About the Bit term in the Bitcoin word, i think it was used as the bit in computer science, a bit means the most basic unit of information and is about a binary digit, it could be 0 or 1.
