How will you make nostr more accessible though? If the market target changes to your average joe, I think it won't be easy to encourage them to run their own relay, client, etc. What I can expect is another web/project that acts as a centralized social media platform that uses nostr as its backbone. This does not make the project loses its value though, just that the goal probably won't be achieved.

The idea is promising IMO, but mainstream users probably won't use it (those who don't use crypto too often, for example). Probably not a downside but anyone planning to build or run a project using this platform should consider that. I've seen lots of projects that has interesting use cases like jester, so I'll keep following this.

Informasi buat pengguna LastPass, atau yang ingin menggunakan LastPass, kemaren baru ada update terkait security incident yang mereka alami beberapa lalu. Lengkapnya bisa dilihat di: https://blog.lastpass.com/2022/12/notice-of-recent-security-incident/

Singkatnya, hacker berhasil mendapatkan informasi personal user seperti e-mail, backup vault (dalam kondisi terenkripsi), dan informasi sejenis lainnya. Kalau agan mendapatkan e-mail, sms, telepon phishing atau model phishing yang lain, bisa jadi sumber leak datanya berasal dari sini. Hacker juga bisa mencoba untuk membruteforce backup agan, yang berarti kalau master password agan lemah password" yang agan simpan di LastPass bisa dibobol. Upaya terbaik untuk mengatasi hal ini adalah mengubah master password plus password situs" penting yang agan miliki secepat mungkin sehingga kalau mereka berhasil mengcrack vault agan, password agan sudah tidak berguna lagi.

Ke depannya agan juga bisa pindah ke manager lain seperti Keepass atau Bitwarden kalau agan perlu self-hosted manager yang bisa merangkap sebagai server password sekaligus. Agan butuh device khusus yang bisa menjalankan docker kalau agan pilih opsi yang kedua, jadi jangan lupa dipelajari juga. Ane sendiri pindah ke Keepass karena kejadian kaya gini bukan yang pertama kali dialami di LastPass, dan jasa cloud password manager juga mungkin punya kelemahan yang sama.

I also think this is true. Your average joe doesn't move their funds regularly because they simply want to save some fees, I don't think that is really greedy behavior, just how people would normally do if they put some trust in exchange. Things might change if they get destroyed by "scam" exchanges like FTX though, so they would learn the hard truth eventually.

I think people should give DEX like Bisq a try if they just need to trade once in a while. It might be a bit more expensive than your regular exchange, but it should give better control over their funds. It is almost impossible to distance yourself from an exchange platform entirely if you are a daily trader, so I don't think we can remove this risk entirely. This might sound like a broken record but the only way to reduce the risk is just to store the money you can afford to lose on exchange if you use them regularly. Store most of your money offline.

I also think this is the case. Lots of systems implement these "early" incentives for users to make sure they get a lot of users on their platform, and then gradually remove them. As long as their service/activity stays the same, the user will generally still use their product. So, I believe as long as the network is still valuable for people (whether they classify BTC as money or an asset/store of value) it will continue to survive.

OP, you might want to search for other threads that discuss this topic. I don't remember which one is it, but I'm sure there are several discussions surrounding this topic in the past. The consensus doesn't change that much afaik, but there might be some info that you might find interesting from the previous threads.

Akhir" ini saya sering melihat PHK kaya gini di beberapa perusahaan setelah akuisisi, misalnya Twitter. Entah apakah sebelumnya jumlah pekerja memang terlalu banyak atau owner yang baru ingin mendapatkan profit lebih besar lagi dengan gambling pada kesetiaan user pada platform yang ada dengan mengorbankan layanan pelanggan. Tempat kerja ane sebelumnya juga melakukan hal yang sama dan hal ini berdampak pada user dan worker itu sendiri.

Untuk exchange sih iklim akhir" ini yang tampaknya bikin exchange sulit dapet profit besar bisa dipahami, jadi kalau ada PHK ga terlalu mengagetkan. Semoga saja ga berdampak ke user atau pelanggan mereka. Ditambah persaingan yang cukup sengit di pasar Indo, mengingat banyak exchange lokal yang beberapa tahun terakhir banyak bermunculan. Ane ga bakal kaget kalau beberapa bulan ke depan ada yang bangkrut dan berhenti beroperasi.

Is there any research or data related to this? I'm always curious to see whether or not ASIC is prone to failure when people run it 24/7 just like GPUs. Some news report that some model has a high failure rate, such as this one[1], but I can't find any reliable info on this.

I think the value of "little money" differs from users, hence why small mining farms probably don't always buy the latest RIG. If they have access to very cheap electricity, I can see the incentive to buy more affordable RIG, since ROI is just a matter of time. Assuming nothing terrible happened of course.

I don't use ETH that much, so it is not a problem for me. If you have an HW wallet, you can connect it with MEW or MyCrypto if you really need it. You can also change your RPC to other services (after you register, or use a free one, etc) if you want to use MetaMask. Alternatively, you can just continue using it if you don't mind your IP being collected, or you use a VPN and you don't use DEX that much. Using DeFi (most of them at least) nowadays is more or less equal to giving at least some personal info to the platform that you use, so that's that.

Keep in mind that policy can change, and even if Uniswap explicitly stated that it does not collect personal data, I think you should be aware that according to the news, they still collect some data. One of the reasons for doing so is to "comply with regulation"[1]. If you decide to use them for privacy reasons, make sure to keep up to date or check out their ToS regularly to make sure you don't miss anything.

As far as I can see, your product is not even ready yet. What can OP even do with your marketing information if he can't even use it? Running a testnet is quite different from being exchange ready. I suggest keeping these promotion post for later when users can use them like other DEXes that exists right now.

AFAIK, some providers allow you to label, auto-filter, and make a folder for e-mails coming from a specific domain. Based on my experience, Proton is one of them. Some reports claim that their filter is not the best though, so that's that. I'm sure other providers have more or less the same thing, so you might want to check them out. Most of them provide this feature for free, so there's no need to pay. CMIIW.

Have you considered doing this experiment with another member? So, using a shared e-mail for example. I don't know how complicated it would be if privacy issues is getting involved though. It is unfortunate but I agree with Loyce that an experiment like this needs a long time before you can see any result.

Whether you want to spam or not, buying an account is generally seen as at the very least something shady. Lots of people will give you negative trust for that. You basically buy the reputation of somebody else. Whether you have a malicious purpose or not, we don't know, and verifying it is impossible. I'd suggest you just continue posting here and build a reputation on your own. At the end of the day, a rank of an account is a mirror of your contribution to the forum (most of the time at least).

I would not call them free energy. Especially if OP needs to set it up on his own. It might be even more expensive compared to a traditional electricity source, at least in the beginning. At the end of the day, what matters the most is profit and how long it takes to break even so you can start earning money from mining, so if OP can only get power from the grid but it is cheap enough then it is fine to do so.

Also, be careful of those hosted mining services. Some of them have unclear backgrounds and even if they have photos of their mining site, they might be fake. I've seen many scams centered around this kind of service where at the end of the day they stop the business without giving any meaningful ROI to its users.

OP, other than electricity cost, you might want to also look for their stance on Bitcoin, taxes, mining regulation, and so on in general. Some country has detailed regulation for mining while others don't. As far as I know, your earnings might be affected by this, especially if you need to do taxes. CMIIW.

If you're not yet aware, Metamask is collecting IP addresses from anyone who uses their default. So you might want to change your node provider if you have some issues with that. It is a bit tricky since most node providers are usually paid ones, or need some registration to use. You might want to use a different wallet entirely to connect with an exchange (like a direct connection to your HW probably).

AFAIK, if you connect your HW with MetaMask then you'll need to connect your HW again to approve transactions so if a hacker has access to your PC but not HW, the funds would still be safe. However, that's certainly not the best scenario and they can use other means to attack you such as deploying a scammy smart contract where you just need one approval and they can move your tokens anytime. There have been many cases like this so you should be more careful when you connect to some exchange, make sure it is not a phishing site. CMIIW.

You might want to look for reviews about the hardware wallet you want to buy on Youtube or blog posts. Something like this[1]. Some forum members also posted reviews on the hardware wallet section before, so you can scroll down there for a bit. Most of the time they show the packaging features so you can compare and see how it differed from yours.

Some hardware also features a genuine verification program in their app, you can use that to make sure your device is genuine and not fake. For example, you can find the Ledger guide to do it here[2]. I'm pretty sure other wallets have that feature too so just check out their guide before you start using it. You can also reset it first to make sure before making a new wallet.

Google memang tidak bisa diandalkan untuk memfilter iklan yang mereka bikin sendiri. Walau beberapa kali ada update atau janji kalau filter iklan bakal lebih baik, scammer masih bisa memanfaatkan fitur mereka. Cara paling sederhana adalah menonaktifkan iklan dengan ad bloker (yang AFAIK kena nerf di manifest chrome terbaru, jadi browser berbasis chrome mungkin perlu update) atau pake search engine yang lain.

Btw dari berita yang beredar kabarnya scammer akhir" juga aktif nyebarin file excel lewat Telegram untuk mencuri kripto. Seperti yang dikabarkan di sini[1]. Beritanya menyebutkan negara tertentu sebagai dalang dibalik aktivitas ini, tapi terlepas itu benar atau tidak, kasus penyebaran malware lewat grup Telegram dengan file tertentu tampaknya mulai lebih sering terjadi lagi.

Mungkin ini salah satu lubang di peraturan yang ada. Kalau dana yang ada banyak saya rasa tidak sulit mencari orang yang bisa diminta untuk jadi direksi dengan syarat A/B/C. Tapi buat user sendiri, kalau hasil regulasinya ke exchange ga ada masalah, apakah spekulasi kaya gini bermasalah bagi mereka? Misalnya ga ada perubahan tarif, withdraw masih lancar dst.

Btw Binance sendiri ane baca akhir" banyak diterpa isu miring terkait kemungkinan US bakal mencoba membawa CZ ke peradilan sebagaimana SBF karena Binance dianggap bakal ikutan bangkrut. Mungkin ada baiknya kalau exchange Indo bisa berdiri sendiri tanpa perlu suntikan dana dari luar biar kalau ada masalah/isu kaya beginian dampaknya ga terlalu besar. Tentu saja ini hanya isu dan bisa saja cuma FUD. Jadi DYOR.

Walau saya sendiri agak khawatir melihat banyak produk simpanan yang mulai ditawarkan oleh exchange lokal (setidaknya yang sering saya gunakan sekarang), takutnya bernasib sama dengan produk loan exchange luar negeri. Ujungnya gagal bayar dan bangkrut.

Ini ga ada update kah? Saya baru tahu ada diskusi ini karena jarang mampir ke meta. Udah hampir 3 tahun kalau dilihat dari threadnya, apa mungkin sudah didrop dan ga ada di plan lagi? Saya pribadi sih bakal menonaktifkan daripada nanti dispam sama member tertentu karena masalah privasi dsm.

Thanks for the notice Royse. Looking forward to work with you again.

It looks like this DEX is part of Particl (https://twitter.com/particlproject), and seeing OP's username, he's either a believer of the project or someone who does marketing for them. Nothing is wrong with that, but I personally find that announcing/making an ANN thread about the service would be more appropriate. Maybe service discussion or service announcements should be the place to post it. Even if it's not an official thread from them, OP can still promote them as usual.
