1401  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Did I can make platform without KYC verification on: June 08, 2023, 04:21:12 AM
Bisq is an example of an exchange platform that does not require users to do KYC or personal information.

Identity verification requirements come when the platform manages or interacts with bank accounts. To do this, the platform needs a commercial license, along with an anti-money laundering procedure. it requires users to comply with those rules, which differ according to the country from which the platform obtained a license.
Therefore, all central exchanges that do not require identity verification are required to do so according to conditions such as withdrawal or deposit from a bank account or exceeding a certain amount according to the license in that country.

You can create a platform without the need to do KYC by making it decentralized or centrally listed in a country while banning any users from countries that have laws related to crypto.

It is not a game to choose who you encourage, just as you are not a judge to decide who will win in the end, so your encouragement to one of the parties will harm you because you put a lot of feelings in something that you cannot control.

SEC investigations began in earnest more than a year ago, and you will find in media reports that they almost made a lot of notes on most of the platforms they reviewed, where they found, in one way or another, that they did not comply with regulatory standards.

https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/

Therefore, if you are upset, they will not stop soon, and crypto exchanges have the choice to either comply or refrain from providing services to US citizens.

The book is usually described as a book because there is a writer who lists the information according to a specific order, so that the outcome is to benefit from the most correct information with an attractive arrangement that attracts the reader. you rarely find a book that is scraps of ideas or was composed of many narrators.

Your effort is appreciated and it is good that it is open source, so why not make it in the form of Blogger? Or a website? Or comics (cartoon stories) or any form that helps others to develop with you, and there is no link or link between its pages.

In the book, it is more difficult because you need to re-divide it into sections, reformulate each section, and delete a lot of things before adding something new, not to mention the wording and intellectual property rights, because your content is from the Internet.
1404  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: My worries with ledger on: June 08, 2023, 03:34:02 AM
Your use of the hardware wallet depends on trust. If you lose this trust, it is better to buy another hardware wallet. You can consider any open source alternatives or DIY hardware wallet, and if you wait, you will get better recommendations, since I prefer cold storage using Electrum.

Here is a good list for more than 30 HW https://wallets.thebitcoinhole.com

What will be your suggestions?

According to what I read, you are safe if you do not update the firmware, but after several months you will reach a point where you have to update the firmware, and then you can fear, until that thing happens, start thinking about a suitable alternative instead of worrying.
1405  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Withdraw your funds from Gate.io on: June 08, 2023, 03:17:42 AM
Where there are bankruptcy rumors, you will find Binance.

On May 25, Binance suspended deposits that depend on the Multichain protocol, which will force users to the best alternative, which is Gate.io, which was noted in the Blockchain data https://etherscan.io/address/0x3a7937851d67ee2f51c959663749093dc87d9c9a#tokentxns, which proves A lot of FTM transfer from an unknown user (may be Binance) to the Gate.io platform Now then we heard rumors that the Gate.io platform might go bankrupt, which is almost a similar scenario to what happened with FTX.

I explained above that high trading volumes prevent any bankruptcy rumors, but it seems that some are still trying to play the same game that happened with FTX.

According to CMC https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/gate-io/ Gate IO has a Total assets of $1,240,248,607.51 with BTC 30.11%
150 million is not supposed to cause panic, but 27% is from other assets and the factors that I mentioned, so I do not rule out that the matter will develop.
Their exposure to both the FTM and MULTI tokens is about $219,150
This data can be tracked here https://defillama.com/cex/gate-io

I've connected the dots from the link above https://cointelegraph.com/news/gate-io-denies-liquidity-problems-after-multichain-ceo-goes-missing
1406  Economy / Economics / Re: To Hodl or Lend: What is your take? on: June 07, 2023, 06:30:40 PM
Lending in general involves a double risk, one of which is the fixed payment term with a guarantee, if you do not pay within the payment term, the guarantee will be liquidated at less than its value, and the second is the interest, which is rising in our current days due to inflation and because of the increase in interest rates.

These risks increase in Bitcoin as the value is very volatile and volatile, and therefore you add another dimension to the factors that currently exist. It is an option that I do not recommend to anyone because you want to borrow in a high-risk investment with slow returns in the short term and the results are not guaranteed in the long term. DCA is the best strategy, it allows you to grow slowly but after a few years you will notice that your assets have increased well.
1407  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bkex Locked Users off Their Money For 9 days and Counting.. on: June 07, 2023, 06:11:43 PM
The good thing is that they put the notice about no withdrawals on the home page, but the lack of suspension of deposits is very confusing.
I sent a message to the support team, and let's see what their response is. If the site is under police investigations, this does not mean that the platform is frozen, otherwise it means that the platform has been sized, and therefore all depositors' funds are frozen.
If users cannot withdraw it is an exit scam, they may not have enough liquidity and therefore everything may suddenly disappear.

it is more likely to an exit scam than police investigations
1408  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BTC transaction confirmed but the amount havent changed on: June 07, 2023, 05:55:22 PM
No problem fixed. Check your transaction history to know that.
what Huh It worked for me and you can check the link above, you will find another comment.
Also that it can still happen at anytime. Not common but it can still happen at anytime.
Yes, at the end of my reply I mentioned
so stopping using it is the best option.



Do not save your seed phrase when you want to delete and download back a wallet. Immediately your generate the seed phrase, do two or three backups and save them in different locations. But you can check again that you have the seed phrase anytime you want to delete your wallet.
What is the difference, if you generated new seeds for the same closed source wallet, you did not enhance your privacy or security, all that is required of this step is to check your balance before withdrawing your coins.

For open source wallet to used use Electrum. Send your bitcoin from Trustwallet to Electrum.
I agree.
1409  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BTC transaction confirmed but the amount havent changed on: June 07, 2023, 02:07:23 PM
I tried with VPN, re-installing the wallet, other internet connections and nothing.
Now I switched to Electrum and I always keep the device turned off, I only turn it on if I need to get my BTCs out of this wallet (Offline yet)

I faced the same problem several weeks ago and found the solution in updating the wallet with a complete deletion of the previous data, which necessarily requires that you save your seeds before you take any step.
I can't figure out why this is happening, but because the wallet is closed source, there may have been a problem with the code with a particular IP, so stopping using it is the best option.

I had an old trust wallet in my device, and after reading this topic, I sent some coins to my bitcoin address, and I can confirm that my Trustwallet doesn't show incoming transactions. The balance is correct, but there is no new incoming transaction.

Solutions to this problem:

  • Delete the wallet, clear the cookies and install the latest version.
  • Edit notifications on your device.
  • Go to settings and change the node mode from automatic to fast.

I tried the above settings and got a transaction notification as soon as I got a one confirmation.

  market cap of 520.50B, down from 527.83B yesterday and down from 570.09B one year ago,
So ...

Bitcoin Market Cap is at a current level of 520.50B, down from 527.83B yesterday and down from 570.09B one year ago.

Source https://ycharts.com/indicators/bitcoin_market_cap#:~:text=Bitcoin%20Market%20Cap%20is%20at,8.70%25%20from%20one%20year%20ago.

Relying on market cap will not give you a good result, because the quantity supplied increases, and therefore the price must decrease to maintain the same market cap. saying that the market cap a year ago and today is the same or increased or decreased is not a measure to predict the price, but rather to clarify the standard of demand against supply and its reflection That's on the price.

We can use moving averages and technical analysis to measure how bad the price is at the current level, which shows that we have not moved much, as we are still in the same level between $25.4k Bitcoin as a bottom and $28.8k as a top, and we may stabilize in this range for a while.

By taking the historical data into the scale, the month of June is not considered a happy month, so I do not expect that we will reach $28.8k during this month.

1411  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: from closed source to open source wallet[what is the risk] on: June 06, 2023, 12:10:17 PM
The wallet is a software that manages your private keys, so recommending an open source wallet is the best option because there are many people who have reviewed the code and verified that it is safe, so the fact that the wallet is open source is meaningless if there are not enough developers who have reviewed the code.

using an open source wallet is not only about security, but many open source wallets outperform closed source ones in features such as the ability to integrate the Lightning Network, enhanced privacy by connecting to your own node/tor, address control feature, better fee estimation, and cheaper fees option compared to closed source wallets. Most of the closed source wallets are weakly programming and very poor privacy, the only reason to use them is that they support a lot of currency pairs and attractive interfaces.

by swapping your coins from closed source to widely reviewed open source wallet will reduce your risks (Electrum or Sparrow.)

for multi-coins wallet i think the open source option as unstoppable wallet is not ideal so hardware wallets are the best.

What scares me the most is the misuse of clients’ money because if any problem occurs, random FUD started and money withdrawals start, suddenly we will discover that the platform owns only less than 10% of the depositors’ money as liquidity, and more liquidity as BNB that are printed to cover the money that was withdrawn. This reminds me of what happened with FTX.

Those affected in these incidents will only be the users and the reputation of the cryptocurrency, so everyone who has money on that platform is better to withdraw it from that platform, and stay away from BNB pairs for a bit (unless you trust the platform)

SEC Complaint Aims to Unilaterally Define Crypto Market Structure Binance reply https://www.binance.com/en/blog/ecosystem/sec-complaint-aims-to-unilaterally-define-crypto-market-structure-8707489117122437402


fast reading

We are disappointed that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chose to file a complaint today against Binance seeking, among other remedies, purported emergency relief.  From the start, we have actively cooperated with the SEC’s investigations and have worked hard to answer their questions and address their concerns.  Most recently, we have engaged in extensive good-faith discussions to reach a negotiated settlement to resolve their investigations.  But despite our efforts, with its complaint today the SEC abandoned that process and instead chose to act unilaterally and litigate.  We are disheartened by that choice.

They are promises and claims that they have tried to do anything to avoid litigation and we will do everything we can to defend ourselves, emotional talk without evidence, I bet they will leave the US market soon.
1413  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: A Non-Custodial wallet, Atomic Wallet, being compromised on: June 06, 2023, 08:10:08 AM
This is poor advice.

At least you can read the code related to paper wallets and check every line in it, which is impossible for a wallet like Electrum. My talk if you don't want to trust any developer, I know a lot of skeptical people who like to check everything themselves.
Setting up and managing paper wallets is not difficult for someone who can read every line, perhaps it is not the best option in terms of privacy and dynamism, but everything has a cost.


Update: So it looks like the stolen funds (~35M $) are on the move:

Without making the wallet open source, I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to use them.
1414  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Atomic Wallet hacker sends crypto to mixer used by Lazarus Group: Elliptic on: June 06, 2023, 08:01:55 AM

Quote
On June 5, blockchain compliance analytics firm Elliptic reported that its Investigations Team has traced funds from the $35 million Atomic Wallet hack to crypto mixer Sinbad.io.

It claims the mixing service was previously used to launder more than $100 million in crypto assets stolen by North Korea’s Lazarus Group.

Sorry for the stupid question, but how did they manage to determine that this money went to the blender? I remember when I read about the reason for the confiscation of Khaled, they had told that money went to that mixer, but how could they determine the mixer to which those money went?

There is a lawsuit against Blender due to which that mixer stopped and Sanctioned Mixer Blender Re-Launched as Sinbad so we will see that soon.
If they are from North Korea, the United States will not be able to sized the domain, and therefore whenever suspicions revolve around them, all they will do is move to a new domain name.

Quote
Wallets of Blender.io on the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains were put on a U.S. sanctions list in May 2022 after it turned out North Korean hacker group Lazarus used the service to launder cybercrime proceeds. The U.S. Treasury Department said Lazarus was behind the infamous Ronin hack, when $625 million worth of crypto was stolen from a blockchain bridge protocol used by the popular non-fungible token NFT game Axie Infinity.
I've read their report here and can't find solid evidence on how to know the coins were sent to that mixer.

https://hub.elliptic.co/analysis/has-a-sanctioned-bitcoin-mixer-been-resurrected-to-aid-north-korea-s-lazarus-group/

But I found this
Quote
Blender may have been motivated to re-brand in order to avoid sanctions, and OFAC could now seek to impose further sanctions on Sinbad. It may also have done so in order to gain trust from users, following Blender’s abrupt closure last year, and the disappearance of significant amounts of funds from the mixer.
1415  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: A Non-Custodial wallet, Atomic Wallet, being compromised on: June 06, 2023, 07:25:03 AM
As I said earlier, the manipulation of terminology is what gave many users a false sense of security. Custodial walle and Non-Custodial walle have no meaning, but the real difference is whether that software is a wallet or not. In the sense that all closed source wallets are not a wallet because we do not know how the private key is generated and whether the code is safe or not. The fact that a third party may know your private key means that you do not own your money.

If you do not know how to read the code, it is best to start with a paper wallet that generates private keys in a simple way or trusts individuals or a community to review the code.

Rushing to present your idea will not be useful to you, just as this is not the appropriate section for such discussions, especially since your site is not an open source and is not directed primarily to serve and develop Bitcoin. At this stage, you can receive suggestions, but we cannot provide you with more,  it is better to lock this topic or change to Proposals.

is btc mixer chipmixer .be legit or fake since i heard that original chipmixer .com seized by FBI

According to the LFBI report, the number of domains that chipmixer managed is three, and all of them have been seized.
this domain is fake clones of CM, and in any case it cannot enjoy the same trust that the original site enjoyed.
So chipmixer .be is a scammer trying to win over users trusting CM name.

If buying gold was the right choice made by the rich during the past months, this does not mean that it is the ideal solution for the coming months. When you look at the economy today, you will find that the rate of interest rate hikes will slow down, and economies have begun to adapt to the conditions of war. There are no electoral campaigns this year, and therefore countries will be less strict in their policies, not to mention the oil and energy prices that will start to decline, all of which may make the dollar stronger, and we know the inverse relationship. between the dollar and gold.

This will require countries to start moving to accelerate production instead of saving money and drying up liquidity.

You got it wrong, if this is proven to be an alternative account to a banned account, your signature will disappear and thus you will be removed from your signature campaign, not to mention the possibility that the previous account will be unbanned, which seems slim.
