You are right. There are various aspects that need to be considered with non-cash transactions. There are still places in various countries that either do not have stable internet to offer or have zero to low signal. Another factor is that not everyone has the capacity to buy smartphones with updated software that supports scanning QR codes and downloading e-payment applications. Lastly, there are still individuals who are tech-savvy enough to understand and follow steps in using e-payments for cashless transactions. Hence, as both options have their pros and cons, it is best if both are offered by merchants in terms of transactions.

One quick look and I noticed that the team isn't registered to Liquipedia all. Also, most of their players don't seem to be known to the majority of the Dota community so it remains to be seen whether they're someone who can go toe-to-toe against the current teams of SEA for the International.

Pero 2000 pa yon kung saan hindi pa ganun ka innovative ang mundo. Ngayon kasi maraming business, communication, pati na rin edukasyon ang heavily reliant sa internet kung kaya sigurado malaki ang magiging epekto ng pagkawala nito sa lahat. Madaming tao na ang ipinanganak na namulat sa internet age at hindi alam paano mamuhay ng walang connection sa web kaya naman siguradong hindi katulad noon ay makakapag adjust ang mga tao.

First off, I did all the Mixin Messenger thing on a Mac, and used Mornin Keys on an Android device. Thought I should leave this here so that people should know that the apps still work smoothly regardless of the OS difference.

Downloading Mornin Keys

This is the first thing that I downloaded and saw that it will cost me a dollar to install. It's an efficient little confirmation tool that communicates most of the requests fairly quick. It's great that it also allows you to use the biometric security feature of your phone rather than having you input your password every time you change apps on your phone.



Preparing Mixin Wallet/Messenger

This one was fairly easy: the https://safe.mixin.zone/ page neatly displays a QR code and some pointers on why you should use Mixin Messenger. Everything was smooth leading to this point until I was hit by a road block:



I couldn't quite continue from where I left off after I tried creating a wallet. Little have I realized that the dock of the Mac was blocking whole "Next" button which will allow me to proceed to the next step. I wouldn't comment much on the placement of that little button but it will be a little better if that button was somewhere close on the "Network" tab. It took me a good 5 minutes to realize what the problem was, and I found it accidentally when I tried to switch between desktop and saw the blue button during the transition.



This is what it looks like without the dock. I know there's a lot of free real estate at the bottom of the page but then again..

---

Anyway, moving forward. Things were still going smoothly and I haven't noticed anything that will be a road block for a new user should they decide to use Mixin messenger. The next step requires one to confirm or 'authorize' the creation of a new safe by scanning the QR code through Mornin keys. Scanning takes a quick second and the authorization process went by quickly. This step only took me a minute to get past to.



This is the next step that you'll get once you have scanned the QR code displayed on the Mixin web app:



And this is what it should look like once Mornin keys recognized the QR code:



I know that people are used to apps that automatically authorizes things when they scanned a QR code. Note that Mornin keys does not do that, and you have to manually click the 'Authorize' button that appears on the floating window after the app recognizes the QR code.



Authorization takes a few seconds to complete, and the Mixin web app will automatically move to the next step once the authorization is done. This is what it looks like from Mornin keys and the Mixin web app at the same exact moment (I'm not exaggerating this):





Afterwards, you will be redirected to the third step which will ask you to upgrade your plan. I know, it sounds something that requires money again, but the prices are on the low side considering that you'll get something secure for all your transactions. For the basic plan, it costs around $2 which is a good price if you're looking to test whether Mixin Messenger is for you.



You have the option to add contacts wherein you can designate them to be one of the signature holders for a multi-sig safe. You are not required to add more than 1 signature holder for each safe you create, so I opt to stick with 1 on the above picture.

Once you have paid the amount indicated on the checkout page, you will then be greeted by this page:



You need to scan the QR code on your Mornin keys in order to finalize creating your safe. Once you have scanned the QR code in the webpage, the Mixin team will send you a message on the mobile app indicating that you have successfully created your safe.



The notifications, however, are not as instant as opposed to the confirmation back-and-forth between Mornin keys and the Mixin web app, but that's not an issue. After you have created the safe, you will be transported to the home page of the web app and you now have the option to view your safe.

For the purpose of this review, I have intentionally created a blank safe, or something that I haven't upgraded the plan of to check how it looks like if you have a pending safe creation. It's neat that they thought of saving your progress on every safe you have not finished as you have the option to delete them or continue them as you like - whether you are waiting for a new contact to create their own Mixin messenger for you to add them as a signatory in one of your multi-sig wallet. Whatever the case is, your progress is there right where you left off.



Sending a transaction

Now these next few steps aren't complicated, too. If you're using any typical wallet for the last few months/years, the processes are the same.

1. Choose which safe you're going to use the funds from the transaction.



2. Input the address of the receiver you're going to send the funds to. You can just use the old copy and paste trick to complete this step. No QR codes involved here as I'm using the Mac web app version.



3. You will have to open your Mixin messenger and scan a QR code after hitting the Approve button on the lower part of the screen. The page also shows you the members required to authorize the transaction that are involved in the creation of the safe. It's a neat way of showing who needs to sign what. Members of the safe will also get a notification that they need to sign or authorize something.

Again, not hating on the web design. I know it's placed there due to the amount of white space on the bottom part of the page, but it would be easier if they placed it somewhere near where most of the details on the transaction are placed.



This is the QR code you will have to scan on the app:



4. Once that's done, the blue Approve button will turn gray:



5. You will be transported to the last part of the transaction. You will have to use Mornin keys in order to authorize the whole thing that you just did in Mixin messenger. It's a nice way of making sure that the transaction is extra secure, and that no one who might have access to your Mixin messenger can complete the transaction themselves. An extra layer of security is always welcome.

Oh and did I mention that it's neat that they have the QR code changing every second? This is the first time that I saw something like this, tbh. Great use of that existing tech!



6. The following image is what will appear on your Mornin keys once you have scanned the changing QR code. Again, you will have to manually approve the whole thing by clicking the 'Approve' button on the floating window:



And you're done! All you have to do is sit back and relax, wait for the confirmations to fill, and then check your receiving address if you got the btc.

Some key takeaways:

• Extra layers of security before having a transaction finalized is pretty neat.
• Communication between Mornin Keys and Mixin Messenger and its web app is really, really quick.
• Positioning of some buttons on the web app can be optimized for better readability. It would be a problem for users that have big screens as they would have to look further before proceeding to the next step.
• There are tons of back-and-forth between different apps, so it's better to have two devices if you want your transaction to be as smooth as possible, but it's not a necessity.

Conclusion

If you are just a normal user who occasionally sends or receives bitcoins and YOU'RE NOT running a business, I don't see a point in using Mixin messenger. But, if you're someone who values security and always wants to feel secure with your every transaction, then this is for you. Given that nowadays, there are tons of snooping bots, malware, and other similar software existing that aims to get your crypto from you, Mixin Messenger blocks those attempts and lets you transact in peace.

Lastly, please fix that 'Approve' button, Mixin team.

Medyo delikado din na yung emphasis sa benefits ang mangyayare kasi usually ang mga tao (lalo na yung malaki yung pangangailangan) once marinig yung benefits na makukuha nila halos hindi na makinig sa mga susunod na sasabihin mo (which are usually the cons and risks) kaya naman minsan ikaw pa yung masisisi pag yung benefits na nasabi mo sakanila hindi nila nakuha. Kaya mas maganda talaga na yung explanation naka outline like eto yung benefit number one pero eto rin yung consequence and risk na pwede mangyare na naka align dun.

It is for everyone with the capacity to trade and invest. However, it is not accepted by everyone due to the risks and their lack of knowledge regarding bitcoin and the system. It's like it is open for everyone but not everyone will have the interest to dive into it, not because it is not out there for them but because they either have no money for it or they just don't want to. It's honestly as simple as that.

The funny thing however is that the youth of this generation have money. They are so invested in the idea and goal of attaining financial freedom that they are earning money from part-time work and freelance gigs even at a young age. From this, they can choose to invest in Bitcoin with the knowledge they have which is a very smart thing to do. See, what we need to see is that unlike before the drive of the youth to earn is in an all-time high as they also feel inflation hence the need to earn for their personal needs and be financially stable is as strong as ever.

This is the first time someone brought up about businesses regarding cryptocurrency which is a good thing. The other answers were also revolving around investments, but it seems like we centralized on it too much that we forgot that there are other businesses that can be pulled from cryptocurrency. This is a good point as it shows that there are other actions or ways that can be done around this area that will bring more profit despite the risks it provides.

What is also affecting the welfare of the farmers are those who keep buying their lands for such a small amount and then hiring them to work as farmers, after that they will only give such small payments to the hardworking farmers. Some of those land buyers, on the other hand, transform the lands into subdivisions or commercial facilities making it difficult for both farmers and the general public to have access to food as more and more agricultural space are being bought. 

Well, it honestly depends on what your definition of good is. Perhaps what he did is unlawful but is it necessarily bad if he was able to avoid it because the government was not being secured enough or smart enough with their system to detect who pays taxes and who doesn't? Is being selfish necessarily bad? If he chooses to keep his/her money rather than contribute it to the welfare of the country? See, OP used the term good which does not have a precise definition. Is his/her actions bad or it is the outcome of his/her action that makes OP bad? Well, of course, that is all philosophical and ethical talk. I guess the more proper term to state is unlawful. It is unlawful and selfish if OP avoids paying taxes.

I have also been seeing a lot of news or probably hearsay about Elon Musk lately. Perhaps due to his activeness on X (used to be Twitter) he is starting to gather more and more attention on his social life and attitude, as many celebrities and public figures often have when they start putting more of themselves out on there. However, I think Elon's interest in AI will be more prevalent this year and he will focus there are more and more updates and developments being done in that field. Or perhaps he will focus on getting more shares and buying more social media platforms cause he is seriously having a good time rebranding Twitter to X.  

Of course, there is the risk factor after all. The risk of not knowing the system and being clueless as to what it does and may do affects the reaction or initial feedback of the people. More specifically when it comes to financial aspects, you cannot expect people to just go out of their comfort zone and risk their hard-earned money for something they are clueless about. In most occasions, the general public would prefer an already established system rather than a new innovative one due to trust. Perhaps if the systems gets more and more good feedbacks then maybe more people will try and risk it.

Of course, Elon Musk is a businessman so I'm sure he did not just buy Twitter (now referred to as X) to waste money. I'm sure he has plans to maximize the platform he bought. However, X's popularity is low now compared to the then status of Twitter wherein a lot of users are active and maximizing the platform's features. As for advertisement, a lot of merchants prefer using Instagram for it, specifically the story feature of the platform wherein they can easily and effectively advertise through pictures and videos, you will see that most brands are more active there. I think Elon Musk is trying to rebrand Twitter, as X feels more chic and sophisticated compared to the old look of the social media platform.

A quick google search about 1xbit and it will already show a lot of 'scam' words tagged to the casino. I wonder why people still don't bother doing a quick search on things they want to put their money on. I understand that not a lot of people want to deal with forums in this day and age but man, why would they come to it and ask for help when they already got their money stolen?

Sometimes, I don't understand the human logic at all.

I've seen automated machines and software fail their simple tasks in time. What's the difference of that with automated betting machines? Even scripts with simple instructions break over time when they encounter something that is not within their instruction set or parameters. AIs are great tools when combined with human touch. Until then, I'd stick to manual betting, or if I use an AI or something automated, I'll get on top of it and make sure that everything runs as I expect it to be.

Not only that, but Zuck is really a trained martial artist from the start. The dude might be nerdy and creepy but he got chops - literally.

Elon could stall this fight and milk whatever juice he can milk from the publicity they are receiving, but it will eventually die down. I'm sure he's just using the attention to promote something, or even let some issues die that concerns his companies. Whatever the case is, Elon is a huge pussy for not being a man of his word. He challenged Zuck, but doesn't seem to be all serious about it.

With how outrageous people can be, being superstitious in gambling is the least thing I'll ever worry about. There are people offering literally all sorts of weird and crazy things to whatever god they worship to just to win something. With that said, I still wouldn't let other people see my bets. I don't want to be on the receiving end of blame if they even copied my bets.

Tama. Dahil sa negatibong aksyon ng iba gamit ang crypto madaming kababayan natin ang nawalan ng tiwala at interes dito. Sa takot na rin na ma scam sila at masayang ang perang pinaghirapan at pinag ipunan nila. Dahil sa nagkalat na scam at maling impormasyon tungkol sa crypto ay mahirap na manghikayat ngayon.

Ayun nga, pati pag dedeliver ang mahal na. Yung mga free delivery voucher halos wala na rin. Kung icocompute mo naman yung mga discount at package sa meals halos wala ka rin naman natipid. Yung mga dating tag pipiso o tatlo-limang pisong snacks sa tindahan wala na rin. Kahit saan ka bumili at tumingin ramdam talaga ang pagtaas ng presyo ng mga bilihin.

Good points. I was also thinking of those risks as it will not only put Bitcoin users in danger but the store as well, at least against the law. It may spread the knowledge and existence of Bitcoin but there is a relative hard from that as well. We should weight the pros and cons properly to know the right actions.
