You are proposing that a company should trust another individual with millions of $.
Let me ask you this. Would you agree that I keep all your money, the money of your family and relatives, friends and partners for safety reasons so that you dont end up scamming each other?
That goes against the whole belief in a decentralized ecosystem.
13802  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why isn't Meta considered to be an earnable board? on: November 08, 2018, 03:31:22 PM
Meta would in that case turn to a single Spam fest. I used to love to participate in the Altcoin discussions but now when I open it and see threads named Will ETH reach 1 Million, Can I get rich with ETH and similar I dont feel like writing there.
Users would use the opportunity to spam the Meta section also hoping that they can get a few merits here and there not caring about the quality they post at all.

But I would support the idea that participants of Bitcoin signature campaigns are allowed to post in Meta. For those campaigns accepting only Hero and Legendary ranks.

Grin is a blockchain and a cryptocurrency focused on privacy and scalability. Grin is also an implementation of the MimbleWimble transaction format with the extensions required for a complete blockchain.

They have released their 4th testnet hoping that is the last one before the Mainnet is launched.

Regarding TumbleBit I managed to find this info below.

TumbleBit Successfully Integrated Into Breeze
https://stratisplatform.com/2017/08/10/bitcoin-privacy-tumblebit-integrated-into-breeze/

And the newest announcement:
Breeze with Privacy Protocol Mainnet Release
https://stratisplatform.com/2018/08/01/breeze-with-privacy-protocol-mainnet-release/


Regarding Schnorr Signatures I was only able to find out that they are far from being integrated into Bitcoin and need further testing and examining.
https://cryptovest.com/features/schnorr-signature-the-next-step-in-bitcoin-evolution-and-why-is-it-so-important/

Apparently one project that is researching Schnorr Signatures is called Elements Project

I think this thread can be useful for those in need of an escrow.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2439910.0

Of course one should always check the previous feedback, trust and possible open scam accusations against the members and escrow agents one plans to deal with.

13808  Other / Ivory Tower / Re: Why is gold worth more than platinum on: November 07, 2018, 04:17:40 PM
Quote
Platinum is a precious metal, but it's also an industrial metal if you look at how it's used. In fact, the number one application of platinum is in the automobile industry where platinum is used in a catalytic converter (autocatalyst) to help control pollution from vehicle exhaust. A weakening economy can therefore hurt platinum demand.

On the other hand, gold is treated as a safe haven with very little use in industry. When times are uncertain for whatever reason, people tend to flock towards gold. This pushes up demand for gold to the point that gold becomes more valuable than platinum. This can be expressed by the platinum-to-gold ratio.

If the economy is relatively stable, the price of platinum tends to stay above gold. However, if economic prospects are perceived to be poor or weakening, gold will rise above platinum. Compared to gold, platinum is a much more volatile metal.

The whole article is available here
https://seekingalpha.com/article/2838276-platinum-cheaper-than-gold-may-signal-trouble-ahead-for-the-stock-market

I also like this explanation from another source.

Quote
Platinum may be less desirable as jewellery. Beauty is subjective.

Platinum does not really have a monetary history, unlike gold.

Platinum is not virtually indestructible, unlike gold.

Platinum has a more specialised industrial use, unlike gold.

Platinum may cost more or less to mine than gold, which plays a huge factor along with price to incentivise new mining and exploration.

To answer the question a bit more directly - I believe the main driving factor of the decline in Platinum price is the future expectation of decreased industrial use for the metal.

According to this source this nice movement of XRP is due to the rumours of it being listed on Coinbase.

13810  Economy / Economics / Re: StableCoin it's bullshit term? on: November 07, 2018, 10:32:59 AM
Stablecoins are not useless.

Imagine buying cryptocurrency X as your investment. A few months later the project starts losing value and your portfolio is down 5-10%. This is the part stablecoins come in. You decide to exchange your cryptocurrency X for a stablecoin in order to prevent more losses. You now have a stablecoin asset and in the weeks or months to come you notice that your cryptocurrency X has lost another 30% in value and you just saved yourself a whole lot of problem.

Yes you could have exchanged that cryptocurrency X for Bitcoin but who can say what value Bitcoin would have had in that same period of time.
But in the case of your stablecoin it will still be worth $1 or around $1 per one coin. And the USD is more stable than regular cryptocurrencies.

Pogledajte Satoshijev profil, iznenadit ćete se.
Da ali Satoshi je forum napustio još tamo nekad 2010 ili 2011, daleko prije uvođenja Merita a te Merite je onda dobivao u periodu kad više nije bio aktivan na forumu.

Čekaj, ovo sad zvuči kao nešto što bi Hrvatska donijela - moraš imati licencu, ali ne izdaje ju niti jedno državno tijelo. Zar toga ima i u Njemačkoj? Huh
Federalno Finansijsko Nadzorno Tijelo (BaFin) je prvobitno odlučilo da se za trgovanje mora imati licenca. A potom je Berlinski žalbeni sud donio odluku da Bitcoin nije financijski instrument po njemačkom zakonu o bankarstvu (KWG).
"Kriptovalute se ne izdaju ni od strane Centralne Banke niti drugog javnog tijela", što ih (kriptovalute) ne čini valutom ili novcem u klasičnom smislu" pa zbog toga nije potrebna licenca.

Jedan mali dodatak na ovo što si pisao.


Prema presudi Berlinskog žalbenog suda, Bitcoin nije financijski instrument po njemačkom zakonu o bankarstvu (KWG), što znači da trgovanje istim ne može biti kažnjivo.
Federalno Finansijsko Nadzorno Tijelo (BaFin) odlučilo je da se za trgovanje kriptovalutama mora imati licenca.

Međutim u presudi se kaže:
"Ne izdaje se ni od strane Centralne Banke niti drugog javnog tijela", što ih (kriptovalute) ne čini valutom ili novcem u klasičnom smislu".

You have been a member here for over a year and should be familiar with the Forum Rules.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0#post_rules
32. Posting multiple posts in a row (excluding bumps and reserved posts by the thread starter) is not allowed.

Dont post multiple posts like you just did, 4 posts within a few minutes one after the other. You can compile all that into one post and quote the previous users in that one post if you need to.

13817  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: NEED HELP! got scammed, can i get IP adress somehow? on: November 06, 2018, 05:59:08 PM
I am sorry to say but I dont think there is much you can do. How big is the amount you got scammed for?
I am asking because even if you manage to get hold of the IP address and if you search for the address you will only get the provider who is behind the address and not the actual person-location. From there on you would need to involve the police to open an investigation. If the amount is small it is not worth the time and resources or depending on the laws in your country the police might not even act on it if the amount is below the point considered to be a criminal offence.
13818  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are there any exchanges where we can trade with NEO &/or LTC Pairs insted of BTC on: November 05, 2018, 10:02:31 PM
You can see all the available NEO markets here:
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/neo/#markets

Same thing for Litecoin here

Unfortunately these coins are not main trading pairs like BTC or ETH but you can still find a few options to trade for + FIAT.

I assume that you are talking about Triggers (TRIG) token?
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/triggers/

The token is inactive and is scheduled to undergo a swap for a TRIGX token.
The swap will take place on PAYBITO. You can see the full guide on how to perform the swap here:

13820  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: A question for sending merit as thank you! on: November 05, 2018, 03:17:41 PM
Although you are free to do with your merits what you want sending a merit to someone who sent you a merit can be considered as merit abuse and as users before me stated you could get tagged for doing that.
But, if the user who sent you merits has quality posts that you would award in case you have Smerits to send I dont think that would be a problem. Only in case the post deserves to be awarded with merits. If you award a post that has absolutely no quality at all most people would see that as simple abuse of the system.

But if you ask me I wouldn't do that if i were you. That is very close to be considered merit trading or merit abusing and could get you into trouble.
