I think blockchain technology is great for creating one alternative social media network,
that will enable users to have privacy and freedom of speech.

I would like to see new DexBook in the future Smiley
Nobody can be banned from there, except if majority of users votes for it maybe

Maybe its just my dream and facebook is to strong ...maybe not

Holy crap, that's an enormous fine.  Do I think Facebook will change their practices as a result of this?  Probably, unless their plan is to figure out a way around it, and who knows what's in their heads.

They may not have a choice if they want to avoid further consequences, and I doubt any company wants can take multiple billion-dollar hits like this and still survive.  The thing I wonder is how much this is going to affect their profits, since I'm sure part of their business plan called for selling their members' information.  

In any case, screw Facebook.  This is why I stopped using them in 2010, and I'm glad I never looked back.  They're worse than Google.

I am afraid we cant shake them that easy Smiley

What we can do is not use real profiles and info for FB,
change search engine, minimize usage, and support some decentralized alternatives

Banks have never stopped with their shady activities after having paid billions in fines, so it's safe to assume that Facebook won't be stopping either. Governments don't mind them because it means billions of extra income.

If governments really cared they would find a way to get banks to not make the same mistake again, but why would they? It's much more profitable to let these corporations make the same mistake over and over again.

The only way for Facebook to stop is to have people stop using them on a worldwide scale, but that's not going to happen either. We have to accept that this is the way the system works. It's pointless to wait for improvements.

In some ways we are forced to use banks. Some companies tell you in which bank you can receive salaries, at least in my country its like that. But who force people to use facebook? How many people will pay attention on what facebook is doing with their data? More then 2 billion people have account there! I bet that more than 90% from all of them doesn`t even know what facebook is doing and for penalties they are paying. Question is how many people is aware of what banks are doing too.
People need to educate themselves, I can`t think off any other conclusion. People need to learn about what they are using, and to try to understand how system works. When majority becomes more educated we can change the world.


What is even more shocking is that most of the people nowadays don't even care
if someone uses their data and information and sells it...
Imagine that same thing for them using crypto   Roll Eyes

After listening senate hearing...I think that all government want is SWITCH OFF button to any person they want.
And Facebook will provide them that 'function' I am 100% sure.
They cant have that with cash money, gold or Bitcoin.

Anyone here likes to play Puzzles...
and they are actually good and that?

I have some unsolved, and my brain is not capable to crack them   Tongue

Do you mean Bitcoin puzzle problems? (no)
If you count sudokus as puzzles too, then yes.

I think I am pretty good, but I still like to play at levels easy/medium and make them more difficult by adding extra challenges.

Examples:
-by fully filling  one 3x3 grid at a time
-solving only full lines/columns at a time.

I am also planning to try to do a very easy soduku completely in my head  before filling it to a paper, but haven't done it yet Smiley
(completely in my head. Without seeing the paper)


I mean puzzles in general.
I tried to solve few crypto puzzles, but its hard man Smiley

Can someone please tell me the best bitcoin wallet I can download on my phone?not other coins  just bitcoin wallet only

Electrum wallet would be fine.
Its has mobile and desktop version.

Anyway I would not keep all my Bitcoin on mobile wallet,
and I would ALWAYS keep my seed/private key safe in backup.

Focus on Bitcoin.
99% of your crypto should be BTC,
and you can play with only 1% of shitcoins that can maybe explode.

Rather than you buy weekly for 30-40€, and pay high fees.
you are better to do monthly purchases

Best way to avoid extra fees is to connect with your local
Bitcoin community in your city/state.
There are traders and miners all over the world.

One more thing you can do is offer your services
and receive payment in Bitcoin.

Also educate yourself every day about blockchain technology,
and surround yourself with similar minded people,
and don't trust crypto people  to much if they are on discord or telegram.

Good Luck

Department of Justice
Facebook Agrees to Pay $5 Billion and Implement Robust New Protections of User Information in Settlement of Data-Privacy Claims
Facebook will Pay the Largest Civil Penalty in a Data-Privacy Case in United States History
https://is.gd/source_article

After reading this news, one question came in to my mind:
Will they ever stop doing what they are doing?

They where spying on us all the time,
selling our data and information, to anyone who wanted to buy them,
they violated our privacy and they did that multiple times.

They now have to pay biggest penalty ever paid in history of US.
The settlement also requires fundamental changes at Facebook
and removal of Mark Zuckerberg as consumer privacy decision maker.

Facebook also needs to adapt new privacy program and respect user privacy.
This also apply for  WhatsApp and Instagram, that are owned by Facebook.





What will Facebook do next?


I think they will make some changes,
but give more energy for their new monster baby called Libra coin.

They know that with Libra they will do all this again, and even more.
They will follow 100% of all users transactions and actions,
and in the same time they will make a deal with government.
Imagine the implications.... Imagine total centralisation.

Don't forget that Libra will be based in Europe, Switzerland.

On July 30th we have new senate hearing regarding regulating all digital currencies and blockchain
https://www.banking.senate.gov/hearings/examining-regulatory-frameworks-for-digital-currencies-and-blockchain


Summary

I don't know how good for cpypto space is potential creation of Libra coin,
as people will forever associate it with previous Facebook actions.
But if Facebook have billions to pay ... I say let them pay.

Meanwhile we can use this time to introduce more people with BITCOIN,
one real decentralised crypto who can beat them, and give power back to the people.

You can use your public key to track how much you own in your wallet and you can't move fund with public key but with private key you have access to your wallet anytime anywhere,keep it safe that's why its called private key,do not share with anyone

I always prefer to use hardware wallets which is more trustable than the other wallets.Can someone suggest me some other tusted wallets...thanks

Other than hardware wallets,
most people would use Electrum
but you can find more information here:

Probably deranked... BUT if you want solve the mystery you can also ask him yourself
De-ranked from what? If he had de-ranked from Jr Member, he must have at least a single merit on his profile which is not available. Because to be a Jr Member, one must have to gain 1 merit. I think it is a bug.

Buddy, please ask him yourself
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2328793

Then come back and close this topic with final solution.

He was registered 05-08-2018
and new rules started probably around 17-09-2018

I have other puzzles to solve Smiley

snip

Always use U2F if you can as private key is never sent over the internet at any time, and it is much easier to use.
You may find U2F on some well known hardware wallets as Trezor and Ledger.

snip


Can't comment on Trezor but the loss of  security keys in Ledger after firmware update is the weak spot of that device:

After a firmware update, all apps have to be reinstalled. Unfortunately, this means that the counter is reset and you will not be able to login using the FIDO U2F app on your device before reconfiguring the services you use it on
IMO, the dedicated  usb tokens like Yubikey by Yubico are best suited to address  U2F authorization.


Not to mention the 'lack of space' thing on Ledger Nano S and removal of option to sign a message,
it will not be even possible to install FIDO U2F if you have 2 or 3 coins in portfolio.

Scary stuff
