Great test, to know which exchanges are actually quite fast in processing their data; even though the data might be quite inaccurate due to multiple possible reasons(e.g. exchange X might have employees for KYC in a different timezone, hence a half day difference in speed). Though I'm definitely going to watch this topic for a bit. Mind doing one for COSS[1]? Exchange is quite new, and I'm curious how it will go against these bigger guys.
[1] https://coss.io/Coss will be the next one for verification! (though it gives me headaches - the limit for filesize is only 1 MB (!) and i am going to need an english written & notarized proof of residence) Great! Appreciate it. I suggest using an image optimizer like imagesmaller[1] for this. using an picture editing software like paint or Gimp to decrease the image size to decrease the filesize. Best of luck, and thanks again.

No you can't have access to a wallet without your private keys. If you could, then what's the point of having private keys? Unless you have your keystore/JSON file. If you have no any sort of backup, then yea you're fukt.
edit: typo

MyEtherWallet phishing sites or phishing sites in general is definitely not new. Though them actually trying to get your KYC information? Probably to potentially steal your identity for potentially social engineering hacks is something else. A pinned topic on phishing sites should be placed here in the beginner's section.

For the Andreas Antonopoulos fans out there that hasn't watched his latest video(uploaded June 2, 2018), it's definitely another must watch. Take a look, a lot of good quotes in it to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xIq0FdmsIA (39:18)

Just ask, don't push it, if they want fiat give them fiat just ask them if they know about Bitcoin and make sure you don't fuck them.
This. Don't be that annoying bitcoin advocate. If they said no, don't go like "but muh magic internet money". If they asked about what bitcoin is, then say your elevator pitch and simply hope it sells.

Your question has been clearly answered by multiple people here in this thread. Is there anything else you want answered specifically?
I have been asked to do a legal research on the Bitcoin so I want to hear some personal opinions. I tried to find an evaluation or a percentage of those who use these mixers, but I did not see anything. Well it's pretty difficult to have an idea on the percentage of people using mixers unless these top mixers would make their data statistics public (which I'm quite sure they won't).

As for the ratio of evil to good,
So you are promoting an evil service.

My question was curious because most of the ads here are about mixing services. Chipmixer/Bestmixer Yes. Bitcoin mixing services do advertise here on bitcointalk through ads and through signature campaigns, since this is a bitcoin forum hence they might get more users through advertising here. Your question has been clearly answered by multiple people here in this thread. Is there anything else you want answered specifically?

Yes, I've heard that all merchants and airport terminals accept a few digital things, such as bitcoyne major, sprint, aetherum and steem, which makes it one of the most friendly airports with crypto currency in the world.
I'm pretty sure there isn't a named "bitcoyne major", "sprint", and "aetherum". I don't even know how you could even misspell them THAT bad. And yea, I'm also pretty sure Steem isn't being used as payment anywhere.

I wonder how it works on their side though; on how much confirmations they require per transaction before actually making it valid.
Since they know who you are then this should not be a big deal. In case the transaction dropped from the chain for a reason or another they can contact you and ask you to repay via cryptocurrencies again or via fiat, this could be done for every merchant, giving something that grants the payment will be done, btw waiting for at least 1 confirmation should not be a problem. Well that makes sense. Though actually not every stores actually know you are since I'm slightly sure not all merchants on the Brisbane Airport requires some sort of identification for you to purchase there. Probably 0 confirmations for small purchases and 1 confirmation requirement for more highly valued purchases.

Just to add to what pooya87 said:
Though probably majority of the coins being mixed are used in some sort of illegal way, not because you want your privacy to be increased doesn't necessarily mean you're doing something illegal. Me personally, since bitcoin's blockchain is public, I definitely wouldn't want people knowing how much bitcoin I have. Just as you probably wouldn't want people to know how much money you have on your bank account.

I personally don't think it will replace exchanges per se, but both will coexist. If I'm not wrong, atomic swaps are pretty instant; hence missing the feature of putting up buy/sell offers on specific prices, stop orders, and such. Pretty much the order types that are present on exchanges.
Not 100% sure. Correct me if I'm wrong.
the problem that i see is that you may not be able to fill half an order. for example if i want to buy 10 LTC some other person has to sell 10 LTC to me not 9 or ... That doesn't sound good at all. But knowing that I wouldn't need KYC and stuff, I'd personally still use it. How are prices decided anyway? Through scraping info out of APIs like Coinmarketcap? Or are people just going to set exchange amounts? e.g. Setting an offer like 1BTC for 0.015LTC or something. I definitely need to research more on this.

Article Link: Brisbane International is Now the World’s First Crypto-Friendly Airport ( https://news.bitcoin.com/brisbane-international-is-now-the-worlds-first-crypto-friendly-airport) I wonder how it works on their side though; on how much confirmations they require per transaction before actually making it valid. But anyway, this is a great solution due to people from airports holding different kinds of currency. Like if I were to go to a foreign country, I could use bitcoin to purchase stuff from the airport instead of needing to convert my local currency to the foreign country's currency.

Hi there, it seems that my account has been locked by an admin last week. I have not posted since March 2018. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=307514Has this ever happened to anyone ? What's the point of this ? I'm pretty worried, if there has been a security breach into this account, then my computer might have been compromised too. Thanks for your understanding and have a nice day, I saw this type of ban first time.I think you should wait for guidance of legendary or staff members. If you do get the answer ,then you can pm to Cyrus ,theymos about your problem.They will definitely resolve your problem. Well, waiting is obviously going to accomplish nothing as it very clearly say in the message that OP should contact theymos.

For what specifically though? Bitfinex already has their own app[1]. How will your app be better? What can you put to the table that Bitfinex's app cant?

Not sure if that's actually legit lol. It says theymos(bitcointalk admin) but it's domain is "theymos.e4ward.com". I honestly don't know about that.
the email address is legit but this is the first time I see a locked account with notice in its signature space is this some kind of new system implemented by theymos? people would easily notice which account getting locked This is exactly why I was ever so slightly skeptical. Pretty weird place to put a "contact me" message as even a person who stole an account can put a similar message on to the account's signature area. And also, I didn't have an idea on what e4ward was. Was expecting more of " theymos@bitcointalk.org" or " admin@bitcointalk.org" or something along those lines.

Could be because of multiple reasons. The best you could do is probably contact an admin, and probably prove that you're actually the owner of that account you linked; by signing a message using the bitcoin wallet you stated on your account.
EDIT: yo take a look at the signature section of your account: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fb2lYhm5.png&t=663&c=vFQreOKXRoIxeg) Not sure if that's actually legit lol. It says theymos(bitcointalk admin) but it's domain is "theymos.e4ward.com". I honestly don't know about that.

Asking for advice: I am a crypto artist and I want to visualize the way BTC is being or should be adapted in the most suitable way. (Example of my work: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3467154.0) I feel this is beneficial to the entire community and I want to make it a group effort. I want some of my future paintings to envision a world in which cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin are fully excepted and used. What do you think the top 5 ways of adoption are or will be? Damn. Those paintings are good. I definitely like the mining painting and I would purchase it if I could(or if I could afford it). Well, types of adoption? Adoption could be anything. Basically as long as bitcoin is being used, then that's pretty much adoption. When stores accepts btc, services, e-commerce stores, you name it.

Decentralized exchangers suggest much better price and even for dollar/euro exchange to my national fiat I prefer to use them.
Decentralized exchanges doesn't even have fiat pairs. lul Almost everyone in my place go to decentralized exchangers when there is a need, I do not know anyone who would exchange money in a bank here.
Ok you definitely don't know what you're talking about. We were talking about decentralized vs centralized crypto exchanges and you're here talking about exchanging money in banks.

Are they safe, If decentralized exchanges are good then why ppl are using centralized exchanges?
Decentralized exchanges are mostly based on ethereum and eth tokens. People prefer the usual ones like poloniex or binance because they have a lot more different markets to chose from. Decentralized exchanges are more safer in my opinion because there is no intermediary and all works based on smart contracts. There are many famous ones like etherdelta and I recently saw a new one called airswap. As always, do your research before sending your coins/token to an exchange. Yep. Pretty much because probably majority of people use BTC as a primary coin deposit rather than ETH. And just to add to this, simply because decentralized exchanges are pretty hard to use for now (in my opinion, at least). I vividly remember the first time I used etherdelta. It was an absolute nightmare as the UI/UX was so bad. Hopefully they would improve it.
