KTP ane masih status pelajar/mahasiswa mas apa nanti bakal ditanyain kuliahnya dimana dan sebagainya kah wkwkkw
Setahu ane kalau status agan berubah harusnya KTPnya juga perlu diupdate, meskipun KTP agan udah yang pake status berlaku selamanya. Ane bayangin sih bisa ribet kalau kondisi agan tidak match, nanti platform yang agan pake juga bisa tidak kooperatif karena data yang agan kasih tidak tepat. Setidaknya untuk kasus ane sih perlu update karena ane punya tabungan dan investasi yang mensyaratkan ane kerja dan bukan mahasiswa/pelajar, kalau hanya untuk exchange kripto ane kurang update.

I know that some people prefer dice or slots over sports betting and it can definitely be fun to play those games, but it is exactly the impossibility for the players to verify the outcome with realistic effort that keeps me from playing it a lot and definitely not with a lot of money.
There are provably fair casinos out there if anyone is interested in checking the odds. I think it is popular enough that most people probably know which one is verifiable and which one is just using jargon to trick its visitors. In one way or another, it is even more impossible to verify if a match in a sport is rigged or not unless the user has some access to insider information imo.

But I am not even sure whether a casino is then legally forced to compensate for players' losses. Does anyone know that? Would players who got paid their winnings be forced to repay retrsopectively?
That would be a dumb move IMO. It is not like they can't recover from the loss (if they ever did). I bet the house is more or less winning regardless of the outcome of the match either way. As for compensation for those who bet on the wrong side, they'll probably give free bets or something similar. They can definitely use their ToS to prevent being bankrupt by shouldering users' 'mistakes', such as claiming that such a situation falls under "extraordinary circumstances" for example, and not the casino's fault. CMIIW.

It takes a survey of several users on the same site with the same case to draw conclusions from what you are experiencing. There is nothing to deceive and be deceived in this case. You play and lose, that's natural because in a game there are winners and losers.
Recency bias definitely plays a part to arrive at such a conclusion. I also find similar behavior outside of casino games, I think people tend to remember bad luck better than good luck, so it is not uncommon for people to feel cheated even if they know that the house will always win in the long run. That being said, as long as they can gather enough data to support their claims, any unfair platform will be exposed sooner or later.

but I suspect that if you delete your previous account and then proceed to creating a new account could solve this problem. I haven't tried it yet though.
Do they even support non-KYCed accounts now? I've heard some users are even required to resubmit their KYC documents a while back. Not to mention they can simply block your withdrawal on the basis of linked IP and so on. Even if you can delete your account, I bet they still record some data and will just use that as a basis to block your new account if you don't comply with their rules. If there are other options OP should probably take that instead of risking his money and playing hide and seek with Binance.
1585  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Smart Contract for Lender and Borrower: Yay or Nay? on: March 23, 2023, 11:10:45 AM
I understand that from the perspective of bitcoin maximalists, PoS blockchains don't have enough trust with their censorship and anonymity issues.
Other than that, I think there are other issues. For example, compared to existing alternatives such as using a multi-sig to secure the loan (if it is a collateralized loan), your solution would add another insecure layer. If it is an uncollateralized loan, then the lender can easily solve this by limiting the criteria for borrowers. While your solution can help them reach other lenders, there is not enough incentive to take that risk compared to what we have right now. At least that's how I see it when I lend to somebody here.

The second question, the difference between other lending platforms such as MakerDAO or Aave is that they have strict policies on what collateral on what interest rate you can lend and borrow (pretty much like banks) and usually everything is contained in 1 smart contract, but in my mind, I have an idea where 2 people can create and deploy a lending smart contract with the terms that only both of them agree. I mean, without big web3 companies, they can deploy the separate contract only with the terms they mutually benefit from. For example, the minimum collateral in Oasis App is 175%, but I have seen in the bitcointalk some people are willing to accept collateral as low as 130%.
Your idea is similar to Kanpeki then. Last time I checked, not that many users are using the to borrow/lend, probably because most of the users are just looking to earn more profit by depositing funds to some lending pool instead of manually finding contracts and funding them. Try to check them out and see if you can improve on their model, who knows maybe you can find customers for alts lending.

Cryptocurrency payment gateways on the other hand, use decentralized blockchain technology to process transactions, which provides a higher level of security and privacy.
I'm not sure what makes you come to this conclusion. A payment gateway can still record users' data even if they use blockchain to process the transfer. For example, stuff like e-mail address, user address, volume/transaction history, etc. Do you think they also dump those data to the blockchain or something? Unless the seller is generous and uses an open-source gateway that automatically deletes buyers' info after a few days or something.

Additionally, cryptocurrency transactions are often anonymous, which can protect users from potential fraud and identity theft.
Unless you use some privacy coins, most crypto transactions provide you with pseudonymity at best. That's why services like mixer or coinjoin exist. This also doesn't solve the identity theft or fraud that you mentioned, at best it helps you get fewer phishing e-mails. If you are afraid of fraud or identity theft, the best thing that you can do is stop using a sketchy platform that asks you to KYC for everything you do. You might want to explain more if you really believe this is the case so that we can discuss it better.
1588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Random Number Generator and it's importance in Online Casinos on: March 21, 2023, 11:30:06 AM
They won’t think about their profit or loss in the gambling site.Their are lot of gambling techniques and strategies to earn from gambling sites.But such one should be created on your own,because if you copy some others.It won’t be the your profit or loss,then we don’t know whether it works fully.If you get loss,you will started to blame others for the loss.Instead of blaming others create your own strategy to win or lose from the gambling sites.
I mean, knowing how the system works, including how their randomness is generated is key if you want to build a strategy to reduce your chance of losing. Unless you're talking about sports or something similar, it is difficult to dismiss how their RNG is generated. Sure, you don't look for profit but if you play on a guaranteed loss I doubt you'll have fun either.

But RNG and other provably-fair systems are just secondary if the casino already earned their credibility.
Normally, you can find such question to a new gambling site, just to test that they are indeed implementing the provable fairness.
It is not a bad idea to regularly test whether a platform is still serving its users as promised or silently change its algorithm to favor their side more. The recent case of Chipmixer shows that even an arguably popular platform can still hide something from its customers, even if they claim otherwise. It is also a good check and balance, if we can even use that term to describe this. if CMIIW.
1589  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Kucoin Community Chain KCC on: March 21, 2023, 10:41:39 AM
As mentioned above there are many available networks at varying costs, is it the same story where only one is authentic for holding the actual coin or are the likes of Arbitrum/Optimism usable options?
It is the same thing, the real Bitcoin is on the Bitcoin mainnet, other networks just use a wrapped token with scammy BTC or shady BTC to back it up, just like fiat if you ask me. If you don't want to pay many fees, consider using P2P where you can change the transfer fee. If that's not an option wait until the mempool becomes free. Unless you use a terrible exchange that doesn't update the fee according to the network condition, that should be an okay option.

As for the tether it's a long story from another thread, I have GBP on KuCoin from Bitcoin sales which I now realise I can't withdraw, trying to switch to tether at a decent rate and go from there ... prob transfer somewhere else to go back to GBP to withdraw unless the market drops in the meantime ... all more tricky than I'd hoped!
Make sure you do some research first if you decide to use another exchange to process your GBP. I'd also check if there is any USDT to GBP P2P trade available on this forum or other P2P marketplace before you decide to do KYC on another platform. Or, you can also just buy more BTC with your available GBP if you can afford the risk (unless it is not possible for one reason or another).
1590  Economy / Economics / Re: There is more to the regulation's aim on: March 21, 2023, 10:12:37 AM
I do support them because with this the illegal outflow of the money in risk investment market can be directly minimized and governments can even track the user in entries and out entries as I will not care about it because i am not doing anything wrong in the open space. Yes, I consider my privacy a violation but when it will be regulated and in the hands of everyone then there will be alternatives to that too.
This would require you to trust the government. Personally, I don't really trust them because the people on top probably don't care about us either. Just take a look at the recent bank run and how they handled it, retail is the one who got screwed in the end. While it is inevitable, having the option to not use a centralized exchange is still a welcomed one to me, so that's that. At the very least, they don't force us to use one or two exchanges to monitor everything. If that does happen though, P2P is probably the only choice for me.

Their entire financial system is broken so why would a superior system rely on their regulation.
True, some even went as far as changing the law to make sure a bank can buy their competitor's stocks. If they can do it without any repercussions, then other regulations don't really mean much since they can just change it anyway. Even if crypto is fully regulated later on, I won't be surprised if they can change the law as long as it suits their purpose.

but, i am a excellent saver(when no money in pocket then need to be a excellent saver), not waste money on entertainment, fast food, not have home to invest in for maintenance, not gone on any trips from my childhood,
Maybe you can go more practical to help you decide how much money you can invest in Bitcon or other investments. Asking questions such as how much are your monthly bills, have you planned for emergency funds (you get sick, your family suddenly is dying, etc), how much do you make each month, and if you suddenly lost your job for how long can you survive without using your emergency funds, etc. Let's say you make $500/month, has $5000 in your saving account, and your monthly bill is around $300 (food, rent, etc), so you have around $200 free money per month but you have no emergency funds. I'd say that spending $100 per month to buy Bitcoin is one of the alternatives you can do while you save the rest for emergency funds, at least for the first few months or so. This is just a rough approach though, you can also apply traditional finance rules for saving if you want to look for an alternative, such as the 50:30:20 rule.

and also please share some very rock solid points that investing in bitcoin is profitable, and non losable in long term, we don't know if other satoshi came out in 1-2-3 years later(just an less probability thought)
You can check out Bitcoin price history and the economic history of the world in general. We just have two or more bank run cases in this month so you can see how risky it is to store all of your wealth on fiat, especially if you're not one of the big players on the market. You should probably read more about Bitcoin before you ask somebody to encourage you to invest in Bitcoin. This will help you make a better decision and not blindly follow whatever the other parties tell you to do.
1593  Economy / Speculation / Re: How much return are we expecting next bull run? on: March 20, 2023, 12:55:12 PM
I suggest you make a selling plan depending on the increase of your portfolio. For example, if your portfolio return is more than 10%, sell 20% of your coins, and so on. The calculation will obviously depends on your overall investment and the coins you own, there is no way to generalize it. If you do this, at least you can avoid a condition where you're too afraid to sell your coins because you keep hoping it will hit 2x but the market says otherwise. Even if it turns out that your calculation is not exactly right (it keeps pumping and you can potentially earn 3x if you hold all the way), there's no harm in doing that since you can always DCA again.

50% of my altcoins are in the current top 15 with the remaining 20% being more gamble's which I feel can at least 20x next bull run.
I plan to put a lot of my altcoin profits into Bitcoin once they start pumping.
Don't be too confident with that, altcoins top ten list has changed drastically over the last few years. Just take a look at the previous bull run, you'll see different names and those who got kicked out are not doing well right now. If anything, you want to gamble and bet on 20x profits, you should probably look at coins/tokens with medium to small marketcap. Anyway, as long as you can afford the risk and prepare for the worst, I wish you good luck with that.

IDK if other wallets have this but trust wallet now has the option to back up our seed phrases in a cloud storage.
Specifically, it is Google Drive. I don't know what kind of deal they have with Google that they confidently add it as a backup option, but safe to say nobody should ever use it. zetfex, you should check if you've activated this option in one of your wallets, if that is true you should check if your Google account has been breached or not. Worst case scenario they have more than just your seeds/private key.

Copy and paste? I heard copying a private key using our devices (lappy, pc, mobile) is risky. The best method was still to write down our seed phrases manually in a paper, notebook or something that is more sturdy than these two.
In general yes it is risky, especially if you use a connected device since some keylogger might be lurking somewhere. If you use an air-gapped device that has never been connected to the internet you can use it to copy-paste stuff though. That being said, I don't think you should copy-paste your seeds from one device to another, especially if the latter is connected to the internet. CMIIW.

Mistakes that newbies make is using their main wallet to connect to any websites for airdrops that will pay them in pennies, and some websites have malicious activities on them, scammers are waiting for airdroppers to come look ing for free coins and tokens, have a separate wallet for airdrops and it send coins and only send coins and tokens you plan to hold for long term into your main wallet.
This is debatable since some airdrops require some tasks such as making transactions worth more than $1000 for the last three months or something similar. Maintaining different wallets just for that purpose can be quite costly. Not to mention it add another layer of risk since you have to keep track of different wallets. As an alternative, you can ignore any airdrops links not shared by the official account of a project you're following, and regularly revoke contracts to make sure your wallet is not connected to any malicious websites/contracts.
1596  Economy / Economics / Re: SVB Analysis Shows More Than 186 US Banks Might Still Collapse on: March 20, 2023, 11:33:03 AM
It's always important for individuals and businesses to be aware of risks in the financial system and to take steps to mitigate them, such as diversifying investments and maintaining adequate emergency funds. However, it's also important to recognize that the situation is complex and nuanced, and that sweeping generalizations or predictions should be approached with caution.
Which case are you referring to? SVB buying bonds or people trying to capitalize on this crisis to swing trade? I don't think diversification can help SVB this late in the game though, I don't see how it will work either since they basically have no cash, right? As for the latter, pretty sure most of them will just withdraw their cash and then use it to buy gold or BTC even further.

Are they planning to clear the banking system or trying to reduce the banks by defaulting them? Do they have a backup plan? How will they secure people's money? Because I see no government intervention, Regulatory changes, and Economic boost stimulus acts in favor of banks till now, Maybe they come up later.
I'm not an economy expert but I don't think they care about retail customers who only have a $100k deposit or less. From what I understand, it seems like they will try to keep the big ones alive while slowly but surely closing the smaller banks.

I hope this will not happen. because it will devalue the US dollar mainly damaging those countries that used it for national reserves like my country and we are also near to being declared as default.
They will just print more money at the end of the day. I won't be surprised if they even go as far as changing the law to make sure their goal is achieved, just like what happened with Credit Suisse.
1597  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: My first experience using a mix (Sinbad / Yo!Mix) on: March 19, 2023, 02:22:04 AM
As an alternative to the testing method, you can probably try to mix some coins and deposit them on an exchange to see if they block it or not. If I remember correctly some users mention that their deposit is blocked after they mix their coins and send it to one of their addresses. IIRC, they use Mixero to mix and send it to Binance. Of course, there is no need to do this if you don't use any exchange, probably can substitute it with some services that don't allow mixed coins to see whether the obfuscation is good or not.

I wonder how it's possible to maintain the platform service provider to give ultimate privacy as well as follows the AML policies. Sad
I don't think it is possible. If what the FBI stated in their Chipmixer investigation is true, they can probably discourage some users to mix suspicious funds if someone asks for their help through chat or e-mails so that they are not considered as accomplices/allowing money laundering to happen on their mixing platform. But the investigators can probably use another reason to seize them. At the end of the day, you should not think they give ultimate privacy IMO. If that's what you want you probably should use Monero. CMIIW.
1598  Economy / Gambling / Re: How succesful will AI projects be to win the house? on: March 19, 2023, 01:47:27 AM
I don't believe that AI knows everything because first of all it is known if others have also noticed that AI is not updated in cryptocurrency and it is not accurate either, how did I say it? because when it comes to matters related to human emotions, it will no longer be able to answer the question correctly.
At the end of the day, AI is just a tool, anyone can use machine learning and build a bot specifically for crypto if they really want to. I don't see why the need to correctly measure human emotion anyway if you're talking about making bets. If anything, they can simply disregard any emotional instability when making decisions and just look at technical/statistics data that leans more to the winning side. It is not that far off considering we see many trading bots with more advanced features nowadays. Whether it is worth it or not is a different question.

 That's one of the reasons why that is no longer covered by AI because it is no longer in their program, therefore when it comes to gambling in the casino it can only provide guidlines or options that we can choose but not at the point where the gamblers will win on the house edge, because if that is true the casinos will not apply the AI system because they will only lose to the gamblers who always win in their casino, this is the logic that I see in my understanding.
It is hard to understand what you're trying to say. Are you saying that casinos or any platform can ban AI if AI gives its users more profits? That's certainly true, but bots are common nowadays, and it is also a form of AI. I don't see any platform going bankrupt just because the user uses a bot, not to mention they can simply change things to prevent the algorithm that the bot uses from always working. In the end, there are many ways to circumvent the issue.

Today one member shared https://revoke.cash/ but I never used it and I am curious about its safety. I don't want to put myself at risk by curiously trying new websites.
If I remember correctly features like this already exist on Etherscan. You can access the guide at https://info.etherscan.com/tokenapprovals/. So, there is no need to use another third-party website as long as you visit the right Etherscan website.

That being said, as long as the website is open source and you can verify/build it on your own, I think it is fine to use them if you don't find any malicious code. Relying too much on Etherscan is also not a good idea in the long run, but at the same time, trusting some new random websites is not a good idea either.

Hopefully, there is a better solution other than manually removing approval, such as automatic revoke that cost nothing other than a signature to prevent token draining or something similar. Spending a lot of gas to approve and re-approve is such a pain if you use ETH regularly.

Those big banks would surely be saved by the governments. We've seen that before and we'll see that again. As for the smaller ones, well good luck to them and their depositors, I guess? They are the ones who need to succumb to give way to those larger and 'more capable' banks that the governments will always save.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and th Federal Reserve will have to go the extra mile because Americans will not be allowed to suffer the loss caused by poor supervision and control of banks.
I just saw a clip where Janet Yelen responds to the question of how they would ensure that smaller banks won't lose customers since most would withdraw their money and move to big banks that are deemed "too big to fail", and her answer is confusing at best. I do think what you guys said is true, in the sense that they won't give any guarantee to community/small banks which is not surprising. That being said, IIRC, only deposit with amounts larger than $250k will be insured, which basically means the one who got screwed is likely retail customers. Kinda sad, considering SVB CEO's and others sold so may shares and earn more than $10 million in profits before the collapse.

It just amazes me how they'd do everything possible to save this dying banks when they know it'd still die.
Maybe because the system relies on them. I mean, as long as they can print money anytime, there is no real risk for the big players since they can just inflate their wealth, while the poor will get rekt as usual.

From my point of view, the recession and the banking crisis have been artificially created for the purpose of reducing the number of banks globally. There are too many banks now. And another purpose of this crisis is to accelerate the transition to digital public cryptocurrencies, which will allow excellent control of the population.
Not sure about artificially created, but at the very least this shows that there is no real punishment for the big players who do dumb mistakes if your name is too big to fail, the government will likely save you. I also don't know how this help CDBC in general, I think they will use it sooner or later regardless if there is any other bailout or not. Isn't CDBC basically a printable fiat just in digital form?
