1021  Local / Débutants / Re: achat de petits montants de crypto en minimisant les risques on: April 25, 2022, 06:04:53 PM
Neosurf et Paysafecard ne sont plus vraiment utilisés pour faire des échanges. Tu peux encore (difficilement) en trouver, mais c'est comme avec Paypal. Ca pique les yeux avec les frais et de surcroit il n'y a plus vraiment de vendeurs intéressés par ces options.
Les achats avec une CB ont toujours eu réputation d'être chargés en frais. A une époque, c'était même normal de voir du 7%-10%...

Localmonero et Agoradesk sont créés par les même personnes effectivement. Tu as aussi Localcrypto dans le même style, mais même sur ces plateformes tu trouves en majorité des offres avec des SEPA, des Revolut, et un peu de Westerunion...

Sur Bisq, 99% des offres sont des SEPA. Bien que l'on puisse créer des offres avec d'autres moyens de paiement (même du face à face) ca n'attire pas les foules. De plus pour pouvoir utiliser Bisq et acheter, il faut déjà posséder des bitcoins (pour au moins payer la caution du trade). Autrement dit, si tu ne possèdes aucun BTC, cette solution sera inutilisable pour toi.


Quelle méthode es tu prêt à utiliser: une CB, un compte bancaire, rien de tout ca, du liquide...? De qui cherches tu à éviter "d'être surveillé? D'une plateforme d'échange, du fisc, donné ton nom/prénom est il un problème? Du site ou tu veux payer ton abonnement?

J'ai pas compris ton rapport avec un mixeur, mais ils ne vendent pas de BTC, mais ca peut laisser supposé que tu cherches "à te cacher" du site ou tu dois payer tes abos. Les mixeurs ne nécessitent  pas(forcément) de montant élevés pour faire un mix. ChipMixer et CryptoMixer par exemple ont un minimum de 0.001 BTC, et même Anonymixer a un minimum de 1 satoshi. Tu trouvera pas plus bas que 1 satoshi.

@adaseb

Two things are incorrect:

There are more exchange platforms hacked compared to 5 years ago. Just look on the web, there is a hack every 3 months and it includes more millions $. But we could say it's something normal since more platforms are online compared to 5 years ago.


That is 28x jump in average hack value from the pre-Gox era

and despite all the changes they make (2fa, etc...)
Quote
Hack severity has dramatically increased and will continue to get worse as the ecosystem grows

Finally,Crypto exchanges keep getting hacked

We shouldn't really be surprised because a lot of exchanges are pretty bad with their security (it's not only a matter of 2fa and other stuff). The serious ones spend literally millions of dollars on security while some don't bother to apply basics, so that's why they get hacked soon or later.

I posted to show how weak they can be. Yes, it's long ago but not a lot has changed since.

I made this graphic using some data from Sqreen. (Yeah, I know it's not a professional one I am usually able to do better but I never tried to use bar graphs or histograms  so I was just playing around)

140 cryptocurrency exchanges have been checked one by one for basic security issues. It doesn't mean these exchanges have vulnerabilities but they should improve some basic security controls



Quote
out of the 140 exchanges we analyzed less than 40% of them are using headers like the Strict-Transport-Security header or the X-XSS-Protection header. 20% expose server information which isn’t a security vulnerability in itself but that clearly shows the low level of security best practices implemented. And 26% of them use frontend libraries with known vulnerabilities. Only 2% implemented a Content-Security-Policy that, if done well, can offer powerful protection against clickjacking or XSS

...some say this Chipmixer makes us a little worried about it because some say the security certificate has expired...

Fake news...




Read the topic a second time, the user was talking about Cryptomixer


(edit: at the time this guy posted it was still fake news. As of today, people reading my post should follow this link)

@o_e_l_e_o is right about Wasabi. I commented about it a few days ago

Wasabi starts blocking certain transactions to its CoinJoin mixing protocol. Crazy but true.

I'm totally disappointed by their move and a large setback. The "certain transactions" are not defined but since it was done to protect their company from hackers and scammers' funds (as they say), we can have a guess but who knows how deep they go. They may end up with a partnership with Elliptic, Chainanalysis and co.  Cheesy
If they were not under a company, they wouldn't need to take such action that we could name censorship.

As of now, the zkSNACKs coordinator will start refusing someUTXOs from registering to coinjoins. Either you switch to joinmarket or run the coordinator and configure wasabi for you., I don't know, but I'm sure I have never see a mixer with such acts

J'ai remarqué qu'Arte fait de plus en plus de reportages sur le monde de la crypto et des blockchains. C'est la seule chaine de télé que je regarde (sur internet ou leur chaine YT)

En voici une en rapport avec le Salvador: Salvador : le nouveau pays du bitcoin
https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/109014-000-A/salvador-le-nouveau-pays-du-bitcoin/

Quote
Le 7 septembre 2021, une première mondiale avait lieu au Salvador : le bitcoin devenait la monnaie officielle du petit pays d’Amérique centrale, au même titre que le dollar. une expérience jugée avant-gardiste par certains, trop risquée par d’autres... Six mois après son lancement, le bilan est mitigé

Depuis son lancement, moins de 10% de la population en fait usage. Apparemment il y a eu l'effet du airdrop, mais après les gens abandonnent. Il y a un commerçant interrogé disant que depuis le début de l'année, on lui a demandé seulement 2 fois si il acceptait le bitcoin.
Une femme parle également de nombreuses usurpations d'identités ayant permis d'arnaquer pour des millions de dollars

edit: ah l'arnaque, ce dure que 3 minutes ou c'est un extrait

If I can help I'm happy, in the same way, I'm happy to receive help when I need it. Sharing is the power of the www.

Your suggestion: create a site with a database.

A database, or a blog, is the same problem. Websites should not be trusted!
Just look at all the blogs on the web that promote scams. I can't even remember the last time I visited a site that didn't have a phishing URL.
Another example I could give: someone suggested to me the URL of a mixer, saying it was posted on dark.fail (a known website), I replied I don't trust websites. A few days later, it appears the website was hacked, and the URL was wrong.
I could make a website as you suggest and insert scam mixers and label them as a "legit website"

Community discussions are not 100% bulletproof but a lot much more reliable because there will always be someone to comment and/or give their opinion, share their experience

"whois" search.. reveals the exchange is HIDING behind privacy guards and PO boxes.
not a good sign at all

exchanges want to KYC their customers but dont want customers to know who they are handing funds over too..

Some domain registrars don't give you the choice to hide or show personal/business information.
On the other side, the website shows clearly all the information to identify them. As well company numbers, FinCEN numbers, MSB license numbers, etc...
Since everything can be verified, I think people can verify themselves if they want to know who's behind.

Here are a few networks
https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-ad-networks/
There are also 1 or 2 lists posted somewhere on bitcointalk but you will find almost the same names listed.

I only used A-ads.com myself so I can only comment about it. It's perhaps the first ad network-oriented bitcoin. I used it in the early days. We didn't even need to create an account (it's probably still the case) and the payments are automatically sent to your wallet once you reach the minimum payment. It's perhaps one of my first bitcoin transactions received =)

I found their system pretty innovative, especially from an advertiser's point of view. As publishers, if an IP has already seen a banner during the day, you won't be credited if the same IP visits your site for the first time of the day. A unique IP is considered unique for the whole network, not for your site.
Several persons said it's a low-earning site but that's because their system is efficient for advertisers, and the publisher's traffic is not of good quality. I earned thousands of dollars (or rather BTC) with them and it has been one of the most interesting networks I used, and believe me, I used so many CPC, CPM, CPA over the years with all the format possibles

Later I wanted to give it a try to Mellow Ads, it took them over 6 months to approve my website, so I gave up the idea to use it well before lol.

It's not my type to comment on these kind of topics but first of all... why do you even care what a user is doing with his account? He can spam d&*k pics everywhere and for sure he will be warned or even banned. Don't you have other things to do with your life instead of wasting it spying on other profiles?  Cry

If he hadn't found it, no one would have done it perhaps, and the user could have continued to abuse the signature campaigns for a long time.
Such behavior is not really helpful for the community's environment.

About this case, I find this complete nonsense and it is of course completely unacceptable, especially from an old member who joined years ago.
The minimum is to be fired from the campaign. As for a tag, a neutral may seem less rude and I thought so too, but it is still a cheat. Abusing a member or a signature campaign is the same thing. If he does it with campaigns he can do it with a member

No, it's not a problem and it's been debunked for years. That's the media that try to make it a problem.
What do you mean by saying it's the government's job to provide access to clean energy? Why not twist the question: why should not it be the miners to invest in infrastructures for clean energy? People always want the butter and the money of the butter as we say in my country.

This says it's companies that invest, operate, and provide access to clean energies. If there is no infrastructure for clean energies for miners, it's the same for every industry. The mining niche is not the villain so they stop it

@bbc.reporter

If you disagree, consider it from another point of view. Let's say your business is about cars. You pay the electricity, pay the taxes, and other stuff. And you have another car company, doing the same business, but cheating the system does not pay taxes and so making more money than you.
Isn't it unfair for your business? It is...

If people keep cheating a system, it creates an environment, not welcome (for the state, as well as businesses and citizens) and ends with a ban.
What's better? A ban with the risk for some to go in justice court, or in jail, or everyone follows the same laws?

What is "KYC"? I

That's the know your customer. When a company (banks or alike) needs to verify your identity to be able to provide you (financial most of the time) services while following the anti-money laundering policy.. (AML)
We usually abbreviate by saying "KYC"

Quote
The know your customer or know your client (KYC) guidelines in financial services require that professionals make an effort to verify the identity, suitability, and risks involved with maintaining a business relationship. The procedures fit within the broader scope of a bank's anti-money laundering (AML) policy. KYC processes are also employed by companies of all sizes for the purpose of ensuring their proposed customers, agents, consultants, or distributors are anti-bribery compliant, and are actually who they claim to be. Banks, insurers, export creditors, and other financial institutions are increasingly demanding that customers provide detailed due diligence information. Initially, these regulations were imposed only on the financial institutions but now the non-financial industry, fintech, virtual assets dealers, and even non-profit organizations are liable to oblige.

That's usually the length of your subscription. You usually get a discount if you pay for a year instead of every month. Or the difference can be a dedicated IP, more servers worldwide so more IPs to be behind, more devices to use the VPN, and stuff like that...

I have never seen a VPN not available for US residents so I would say all of them. If there is any not accepting the USA, a hand is probably enough to count them

Ca ressemble plus à essayer d'être à la mode.

La raréfaction de l'argent liquide ne les concerne pas trop. La plupart des gens doivent utiliser leur CB pour acheter les jetons.
Peut être pour concurrencer les casinos en ligne, mais je n'ai pas l'impression que c'est quelque chose qui les démarqueraient des autres casinos. En ligne les gens utilisant des moyens électronique pour faire des dépôts, ca leur convient certainement assez. Sachant qu'il y a loi sur les casinos licenciés.

Hello,

As explained, I thought it would be good to make a dedicated topic to separate scams from legitimate ones. Also as I said in the first post, this topic was getting too big for me (I don't have good eyes) and negatively impacts the SEPRs. There is also another reason but too long to explain (I avoid scammers targetting something)

Yes, I put a disclaimer on the topic you are talking about but it is not enough as we know. Just look at the number of people who get ripped off on a daily basis. The more information there is on the web the better.

If I can't find your domains easily, google can't too, so no potential victims for you on both ways.
By the way, it depends on what definition we give to "easily" but I can find new scams quite "easily", it's all about extracting data or spy on scammers. Added to other users who participate to make both lists. There are also scammers sending PMs about scams created by "their enemies"  Cheesy but that's another story

I'm looking for someone with knowledge of chemistry I believe. I posted long ago in another forum but couldn't find someone.

Among the most important characteristics to consider are fire and rust resistance, yes.  My question is, do you think it's resistant in an environment with nitrogen (N), and/or potassium oxide (K2O)?
I'm planning on buying most of them available anyway to test and not rely 100% on comments found on the web but I was just wondering if anyone had any knowledge of chemistry.

I did a few tests already with acid citric, Na2CO3·10H2O, Na2H3CO6 but that was for something else, and my question is indirectly related to a place to store 'real' backups

This is one of the reasons, off-topic replies.

Sorry if mine appears off-topic but just to let you know that if you think a comment is 'off topic', you can simply report it.
Otherwise, you have also the possibility to create your thread as "self-moderated" and moderate it yourself.

Just letting you know because if it continues, you will have to create several topics per week for the same thing, and that's something that could be not really appreciated by the community and maybe get into trouble with the staff.
