Now what is binance concerned about here? If we received bitcoin from sanctioned country or person, our account will be at risk ?

I guess that best would be to ask the support people about the e-mail.
I have no idea if it's about the source of some coins or fiat, I have no idea if it's about their so-called p2p platform. But maybe, with some luck, the support knows this.

I am currently using https://github.com/romanz/electrs for various stuff, but unfortunately I dont find any api details anymore.

The documentation for the Electrum Server Protocol is the same as for ElectrumX, i.e. this one: https://electrumx-spesmilo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/protocol.html
Electrs most probably also follows that.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

It depends a lot whether you want to receive at the end of the day bitcoin or fiat. Then it depends a lot whether you want it implemented locally by some IT technician or you want to just use pretty much out-of-the-box.

The cleanest solution is BTCPay. But for that you'll receive bitcoin and that needs installed/configured. However, this is what most will recommend (including myself).

If you want to receive fiat, or you want to not need skilled specialist and local hardware/hosting for it, then the option is the commercial solutions.
The problem is that they come with fees and KYC, hence not really "loved". Even more, the most known commercial solution, BitPay, has a history of supporting more an altcoin (BCH, which they even advertise as "the real bitcoin"), sometimes even imposing even higher fees for Bitcoin (but I have old information on this and I don't know whether it's outdated or not).
Afaik other big players like Coinbase or Binance may have similar solutions (but I don't know for sure).

I expect KYC and maybe some extra fees too are not a big issue for your buyers, still, you'll have to find out which service has the required reputation (this is against not a problem if you go for BTCPay).
1306  Other / Meta / Re: Why the forum keep deleting my old posts? on: January 17, 2023, 03:20:57 PM
It's not possible to delete the topics at all. The topics can be deleted only be moderatos and admins.

Without moderator engagement, normal users can only move their topics to Archival or edit opening post content to delete or ... and leave it like that.

Hmm, interesting. Thank you.
I've never needed to remove my own topics, but I've always seen the Delete button on my posts, even if they were topic starters, hence my conclusion...
1307  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Iancoleman users I want answers on: January 17, 2023, 03:08:56 PM
If that is really existing i think that's not safe because it will become visible to those people behind who created the website, where in surely they can get all your information easily as well.. So be aware!
This is not how Iancoleman  is currently working. Iancoleman is open-source and there is nothing hidden from the users. The website creator has no access to your input.
Of course, using the online version of Iancoleman is still unsafe and you should never enter your sensitive data on an online website.

There are also already IanColeman's clones which sole reason to exist is to steal users' keys.
And while IanColeman's original is supposed to be safe, it's much better to trust nobody and make sure you handle it with the correct security precautions. Better safe than sorry.
1308  Other / Meta / Re: Why the forum keep deleting my old posts? on: January 17, 2023, 02:59:21 PM
I don't know what post get's deleted, I only know it wasn't posts made in the past week.

I'd assume that you didn't get any PM about the removed posts. And if it's so, then it means the topic was completely removed, for whatever reasons, and it's not uncommon to see newbies removing their topics after getting their answers (I failed to understand why they do that, but I've noticed that too at some point); possibly also banned/nuked users' topics can have the same fate.
However, does it matter that much?! Since it's not exactly your post that's removed, then you didn't do anything wrong.
1309  Economy / Economics / Re: Brace yourselves, CBDCs one Step Closer on: January 17, 2023, 02:41:08 PM
The American's government can just ask every citizens to convert their fiat to CBDC for now to next 7 days, if someone doesn't convert their fiat to CBDC in the next 7 days, any fiat will become worthless and can't be used anymore Roll Eyes

There may be laws, or maybe even the Constitution forbidding them do that.
In short, I think that access to money is warranted for everybody, without the necessity of hardware, internet, smartphones and so on.
And this means that even if, by some miracle, they'd be all on the same page, they still may be unable to do so.
1310  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Hardware Wallets that work with Smartphones? on: January 17, 2023, 02:26:04 PM
Ledger Nano S - using microUSB/USB-C adapter, and Mycellium wallet (firmware can't be updated).

Blockstream Green wallet is another wallet on Android that works with hardware wallets (or at least with Ledger and Trezor), may worth adding that to the list too, especially since it's supposed to be open source.

1312  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Treat your Bitcoin as if it is already Worth 10x of what it is on: January 17, 2023, 01:00:57 PM
Please treat your bitcoin as if it is already worth 10x of what it is. Therefore, if you currently own one bitcoin, which is currently worth over $20,000, or a few Satoshis, which is each currently worth a few hundred dollars, you should learn how to treat it as though it has already increased in value because it has the potential to do so. As a result, I believe that 1 bitcoin or few satoshis should be treated as a currency worth $1,000,000 or at the very least $500,000. This should be your mindset this 2023.

While your intentions seem to be good, your logic has a flaw, hence people will pick on you (or it).
If we all perceive bitcoin as much more expensive than it is, then nobody will send coins (because we may consider the tx fees to big) and nobody will sell bitcoins (not even the miners, hence they will at some point become unable to pay for their electricity).

No. Bitcoin doesn't have to be perceived as more expensive. Bitcoin has to be perceived as it is. Not more, not less. And this being said, all the safety measures will differ from person to person. One has to be very careful, according to how much he affords to lose because of mistakes or hacks. One can get hacked and buy back next day all the loses. Others.... don't...
1313  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Help with P2PKH (starts with "1") address is supported for BTC on: January 17, 2023, 12:47:25 PM
Since many other cases were already covered, I've added this only to show that the possibilities are many.
Legacy vanity addresses are uncompressed addresses and they are of larger size (or maybe the vanity address generator that I have used in the past) which will make transaction fee to be higher than that of compressed legacy addresses. I think the solution to use lower fee for transaction started as uncompressed address was created. Although, some people may just like to customize their address and they will prefer to use vanity address generator for it. But there is also segwith vanity address generator.

Indeed the private keys start with 5.. however, if one wants cheap fees he will use pure SegWit in 2023, isn't it?  Wink
And for SegWit addresses I just use my hardware wallet, trading the lack of nice addresses for my funds' safety.

In 2023 there aren't many valid reasons for using legacy addresses, still, some do want them/insist for them. I am curious about OP's and also about what he actually wants to achieve, that's also why I've asked for details.
1314  Local / Română (Romanian) / Re: Criptomonede vs bani digitali emiși de Stat on: January 17, 2023, 11:39:02 AM
Îți ratasem eseul original pe această temă, din secțiunea internațională. Așadar acesta, tradus, e o surpriză plăcută. Bravo!

Este clar, banii digitali emiși de stat sunt doar o altă față a fiat, a banilor de zi cu zi, cu inflație, cu valoare decisă de stat șamd. Chiar mai mult, sunt o față care poate fi mult mai nasoală, în funcție de modul de implementare (care, clar, nu va fi public).

Cu banii digitali statul câștigă pe multe fronturi:
* nu mai are de plătit sume importante pentru re-tipărirea unor cantități mari de bani de hârtie din timp în timp
* pot (în funcție de implementare) să urmărească tot ce faci cu banii (da, pot face asta și când folosești cardul, dar trebuie să convingă banca, plus că poate că tu de fapt folosești bani de hârtie...)
* pot (în funcție de implementare) să îți blocheze fondurile sau chiar să ți le retragă (inclusiv "preventiv", fără ordin judecătoresc trimis băncii!)

Comercianții vor fi co-interesați fiindcă vor putea să scape de mare parte din comisioanele pe care le plătesc VISA/Mastercard sau/și băncilor.
Noi, oamenii de rând... noi se pare ca doar pierdem din afacerea asta...

Voi veni totuși și cu niște mici note:

- criptomonedele au ca scop eliberarea oamenilor din sclavia impusă de bănci și guverne, eliminând intermediarii de încredere și facilitând transferurile peer to peer; monedele digitale emise de guverne se bazează pe intermediari de încredere (bănci), sunt concepute să înrobească oamenii, dându-le doar o iluzie a libertății, în timp ce ei sunt, de fapt, oprimați;

Eu nu sunt la fel de vehement. Cred că scopul criptomonedelor este să ofere o alternativă și atât. Pentru ca oamenii să se elibereze este nevoie de mult mai mult, începând cu a folosi criptomonedele la mai mult decât o sursă în plus de venit, continuând prin a ne opune tuturor tâmpeniilor pe care le fac guvernele (și lumea face asta la scară foarte mică) și mai departe ajungând a face noi parte din guverne, și, ca un punct nou, ar trebui ca noi să le corupem, nu să devenim parte din sistem. Momentan suntem doar niște neînțeleși din mediul online. Eliberarea necesită inclusiv ieșirea din confortul de acasă...

Plus, o să vezi cum vor fi împachetate aceste monede guvernamentale... Mă aștept să vină (nu la noi, noi suntem cu 100 de ani în urmă) cu modalități deștepte de interconectare, poate cu facilități la comercianți șamd. Oprimarea nu va fi vizibilă (cum nu este nici acum), iar în țări cât de cât democratice aproape insesizabilă.

Pentru noi, care știm care-i treaba, această împachetare ar trebui să fie un semnal de alarmă, dar pentru alții nu va fi, ci dimpotrivă...

- criptomonedele (cele mai multe) au un număr fix de monede, pentru a evita inflația; banii digitali guvernamentali nu vor avea un număr fix, deoarece Statul dorește inflație, nu deflație , și asta se întâmpă întrucât inflația este o taxă indirectă, suportată de toți oamenii, fără ca mulți să realizeze măcar. Este mai greu de forțat oamenii pentru a accepta o taxă directă, în comparație cu impunerea uneia indirecte; în caz că taxa indirectă nu este nici măcar conștientizată, munca guvernului este și mai ușoară;

Discutabil, o foarte mică inflație poate fi bună și la criptomonede, în ideea că pe termen nelimitat, pierderile pot deveni semnificative comparativ cu ce rămâne în circulație. Clar, pentru noi și încă o generație-două nu ar trebui să fie o problemă nici numărul fix. Plus, noi de fapt avem acum un fel de inflație (oarecum falsă) la Bitcoin, întrucât fiecare bloc nou aduce monezi noi. Oamenii nu conștientizează și nu lucrează pe baza viitoarei limitări la 21 milioane de unități, ci cu ce se "aruncă" pe piață, în principal de mineri.

- valoarea criptomonedelor este stabilită de piața liberă (sau, cel puțin, așa ar trebui să fie; să nu ne gândim la balene); banii guvernamentali au o valoare stabilită de Stat.

Lumea nu înțelege nici valoarea stabilită de stat, nici inflația, din păcate. Ei se bucură când crește pensia și nu corelează cu faptul că prețurile au crescut și mai mult, iar banii puși deoparte valorează din ce în ce mai puțin. Uită că inclusiv leul a "pierdut" 4 zerouri din pix, doar ca să nu arătăm chiar ca un stat "bananier". Uită că asta se mai poate întâmpla, și nu e greu să ajungem iar acolo...
Lumea pune botul la ce se zice la teveu, și la noi, și la alții ("Wag the dog" nu e chiar așa departe de adevăr..), deci criptomonedele sunt ponegrite fiindcă așa zic niște politicieni (adică mincinoși de profesie). Iar faptul că prețul variază între niște limite extreme face treaba asta cu atât mai grea și de neînțeles pentru omul de rând...

Ca idee, singurul lucru pe care-l au în comun criptomonedele și monedele digitale emise de Stat constă în faptul că ambele au drept țintă eliminarea banilor fiat.

Repet, nu sunt convins că scopul criptomonedelor este eliminarea fiat, cel puțin nu în primă fază.
Pe de altă parte banii digitali ai statului sunt meniți să înlocuiască, cel puțin în mare parte, banii de hârtie, adică cei care nu puteau fi urmăriți. Nici asta nu vor putea, întrucât (din câte știu), legal și constituțional, statul trebuie să ofere acces la bani oricui, fără telefon, internet sau bancomat. Așadar banii de hârtie nu mor, vor fi aici pentru cel puțin încă o generație...
Dacă politicienii ar înțelege asta, poate că nu s-ar agăța atât de tare de acești bani digitali ai băncilor centrale.

1316  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Help with P2PKH (starts with "1") address is supported for BTC on: January 17, 2023, 10:10:52 AM
Where or how can I get a BTC adress starting with 1?

I have a very (!) old version of a vanity generator. It's since before the scammy ones also came onto the market.
So for the rare cases I use 1* addresses, I can also make them look nice if I want to.

Since many other cases were already covered, I've added this only to show that the possibilities are many.
It's all up to you (and your skills), to the wallet you want to use, to the amount you want to use this address/these addresses for (the bigger the amounts, the more important also the safety measures).
Maybe you consider giving more info so you can get more relevant answers.

DuckDice support has kindly resolved the issue. Sorry for the late closure of the thread.

I'm glad it got handled/fixed.

I recommend you change the initial post's title into
[fixed] DuckDice.io - Pending Withdrawal - Requesting KYC

This would be more fair by avoiding some people (who won't read the details) get the wrong impression.

If there are significant funds in discussion, the seed phrase should not touch even the computer or smartphone that will ever be connected to the internet. This supersedes the use of password managers, e-mail, cloud or whatever.
I don't understand, people no longer have paper and a ball pen in their homes?! Is it so difficult to actually write down (a couple of times) 12 or 24 English words? They have to put everything onto the internet? WTF?!

I invite you to discuss what happened to 4 Bitcoins from here

So you are already considering us pretty much idiots, but you still expect us to read your mind and see what you see.
Let me tell you: if you expect us to read at least 15 pages of stuff in order to get what you mean, you give yourself far too much importance.

PS. Lutpin already has negative tag for shady things done in signature campaigns. Whether that's correct or not, I don't know. But the forum is more that one person.
1320  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Address reuse is simpler than alternatives and not always bad - discussion on: January 17, 2023, 09:23:50 AM
  • no need to advertise new address each time to receive transfer,
[...]
  • fewer keys to protect

OP, did you, by chance, got (or made) this list from one or more old posts about bitcoin?
While you do have a point and in some cases publishing only one address does make sense and has its uses - actually even bitcoin.org has one donation address, hence they're reusing it, the point related to the number of keys, as already said, it's outdated. Now people use HD wallets and only handle one seed; the history has shown that having wallets with a lot of unrelated keys is a recipe for disaster.

There is the disadvantage that a list of transactions is not obscured (in comparison to using a new address for each transaction) - so-called "privacy" issue on the Bitcoin network.

By using correctly multiple addresses, different parties will not know how many bitcoins one has. This is important, there was already at least one case with user complaining here on bitcointalk (some years ago) that somebody know all his bitcoins and now it's threatening him. So it's not something to be as easily dismissed as you do.

I will add that moving to new addresses at least now and then is beneficial also for security, at least in theory. If an address was used in the past with a wallet with bugs and - in a way or another some information was slipped online - using new addresses at least when going to new wallets can easily help one avoid bad surprises.
