As most of us know, the bull market signals rug-pull season. This offer appeals to clients that are planning a rug-pull.

Stay off new exchanges, and stay frosty!

26  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Privacy Protocols on: February 21, 2024, 10:29:31 PM
My take on it is that he understood that absolute privacy of transactions - be it BTC, fiat, or whatever - naturally opens the doors to a myriad of illicit uses. Only an immutable and public ledger gives a way to track those uses and yes, if need be, prosecute the folks involved. By being a public ledger he (thought he) removed the ability to use BTC for things that are against 'The Public Good'.

Now, the sticking point is that yes, transactions can be followed through the blockchain BUT who/what has ownership of coins cannot be discovered until they are exchanged into fiat or some type of physical goods which can be linked to people & organizations. He wanted to make sure that BTC had that discovery mechanism.

Of course ones definition of 'illicit activities' and  'The Public Good' largely depends on the individual and their governments...

A public ledger can also cause public harm. Consider when governments go rogue--they will use public ledgers to track and punish enemies and dissidents.

Another scenario is medical and financial information that is required by law to have protection from public view.

There are many legitimate reasons to have transaction privacy.
27  Bitcoin / Project Development / ChainPort Integration with Iron Fish and Private Wrapped wBTC on: February 21, 2024, 08:27:52 PM
The Iron Fish project just announced approval of a ChainPort integration in their roadmap this year. I'd like to hear from those well-familiar with ChainPort. Please discuss the technical pros and cons. Can this develop into a promising technical achievement for private transactions, or is it yet another potential point of failure for privacy protocols and chains?

Link: https://ironfish.network/learn/blog/2024-02-20-chainport

From their announcement:

"For the end user, this integration means that all ChainPort-supported assets could be bridged to Iron Fish leading to private wrapped USDC, private wBTC and private versions for all other supported assets. Users could route their transaction via Iron Fish first before interacting with any DeFi protocols to ensure anonymity even on transparent chains."

29  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: AI-generated fake IDs claimed to pass crypto exchange KYC are selling for $15 on: February 21, 2024, 12:50:51 AM
What are the chances that this AI tool has been created or sponsored by powerful entities to further their ambitions in creating a global secure digital identity?
Let me ignore the conspiracy theory, but how is this tool creating a global secure digital identity when it is generating fake identities in order for people to bypass KYC requirements anywhere it is required. I know that if you use this fake identities, you get to keep your own real identity, but it is fraudulent and favors scammers and criminals, rather than committing this fraud because you think you want to protect your privacy, just use decentralized exchanges.

Conspiracy theory? Global empires are a conspiracy fact! Ever heard of the British Empire?

I never claimed this tool itself creates a global identity. What I meant was that it could spur kneejerk legislative actions towards the creation of a ubiquitous digital global identity---and that if powerful entities could promote this kneejerk reaction, there are immense profits waiting if they manipulate or seize control of said system.

If it the potential exists, expect exploitation. That's human nature.

Your first priority is air movement. The cheapest way to do that is with large (20-inch or larger) box fans.

With sufficient air movement you may be able to keep your rig temps below ambient in the proper climate.
31  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you feel about high-profile traders making wrong calls ? on: February 21, 2024, 12:16:25 AM
Depending on how leveraged they were, and their on-hand capital, they may not necessarily be liquidated as soon as you think.

There are wild swings in both directions in a bull market, especially one as hyped as it is currently. For example, $47k is not an impossible down-leg in market conditions like this.

However, to your main point: high-profile traders take on a huge ethical load when they make public calls for specific market turns. I wonder what the legal implications of their wrong predictions could be.

My other question is: what if some are maliciously trying to manipulate the market (advertising a false short while secretly going long)?
32  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [QUESTION] Service for secure anonymous P2P messaging? on: February 19, 2024, 10:29:16 PM
Is there a bitcoin-related service that provides such a service?
Why would this p2p messaging needed to be Bitcoin related?

Examples of suitable products: Signal, Session, etc.
SimpleX.chat is best option I found so far.
It works both on mobile and desktop computers, it's open source, there are no user IDs and no need to use phone numbers.
Important to know that SimpleX is accepting Bitcoin and other crypto donations.
https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat#help-us-with-donations


I asked about bitcoin, but I should have said blockchain. I don't have any specific crypto requirement, just wondering if any messaging app service exists that does integrate some form of blockchain for security, signing, encryption, etc.

If none of that is something that blockchain can help with, pardon the poor question.

SimpleX looks nice--is there a python library for API integration?

For example, Crypto.com offers 1% cashback on all purchases currently.

I am developing an app that relies on such P2P messaging, but I can't find one like Signal or Session that has an API to integrate with my software so I can algorithmically send messages to users without using some janky 3rd party bandaid.
35  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [INFO - DISCUSSION] Child-Pays-For-Parent (CPFP) on: February 19, 2024, 07:57:37 PM
Question: could CPFP lead to exploitation, eg. not including transaction fees if they know the parent will be forced to pay those fees if they ever want to see their money?
36  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC hit 1M ? on: February 19, 2024, 07:50:43 PM
One thing we might consider is that the price of bitcoin may not always be pegged to the US dollar.

If the mighty USD is usurped by some other currency (perhaps bitcoin itself), then it might never reach 1m USD valuation for that reason.
