So, the SEC closes down an exchange accused of fraud and misappropriation of funds and looking at their front page, what do they say: Regrettably, we are announcing the immediate suspension of services on Beaxy Exchange. Due to the uncertain regulatory environment surrounding our business, we have made the difficult decision to cease operations.
Not only it was their "difficult" decision that they have taken themselves but it was the uncertain regulatory environment that caused this, not the fact that they spawned companies to hide their transactions, not the fact they never bothered to register with the SEC, not that they ignored everything to date, not a word on anything else. Binance was giving away Lamborghini? Lol I didn't know that. Those marketing "techniques" are usually reserved for the worst possible ponzi scams.
Freebitco.in has been doing this for years, I don't even remember when they first started but they do have one raffle each year at least (??)

We know these lastest coordinated attacks should certainly concern the whole cryptospace industry.
Concerned, and exactly now? Why would they be concerned when for years I've only heard how the government is fighting crypto is sabotaging it and here we are, with BTC still standing and nothing really harmful happening to it? Might be that CEX =/= crypto =/= BTC or that just all that drama was as fake as this one? SEC taking down piece of garbage that has done a lot of harm to BTC, that has brainwashed thousands, that has taken a piss on the whole, not your keys not your fund slogan, that is actually laying every damn second can't be seen as a war against crypto but against some as I said it before, pieces of garbage! When Binance is charging you extra for segwit and has no plans on ever accepting LN just as Coingbase, when they are both CEX which from the start should be avoided, then why should "all" the industry be concerned? On the argument about Sam and FTX, I have already admitted my mistake. FTX was a scam from the beginning. However, on the argument about CZ and Binance, he might have evaded some laws and regulations but did he create Binance to scam the community? Mainstream news media appear to be campaigning for this.
FTX only become a known scam when it crashed down. Just because Binance is up and running just like FTX last year doesn't mean it has all your funds #SAFU!

Oh yeah, the ditching of the dollar, the never-ending struggle of some counties to make their worthless currency worth something. It's not hard, it's not politics, it's simple economics why they don't want to use the $, and that is because they can't afford it anymore, Weimar style! Go to an exchange website and check the pair over 10 years: https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=USD&to=INR&view=10YUSD to INR +51.00% https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=USD&to=BRL&view=10YUSD to BRL +151.93% https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=USD&to=PKR&view=10YUSD to PKR +188.33% https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=USD&to=RUB&view=10YUSD to RUB +145.74% And a special mention of course: How bad can your sight be and how twisted is your mind to think this is killing the dollar and that dedollarization is in full swing and the USD is dying? Dying by doubling and going tenfold in value against the currencies that were supposed to kill it? This is like the Dash and Bitcoin SV planning on killing BTC by allowing only trades between them. If they are ditching the $, thus this means selling $ reserve and dumping it for their currency, why is their currency still depreciating against the greenback? Oh, but wait, I have one question for everyone here: If the $ is dying, why don't you ask your campaign manager to be paid a fixed sum in INR or RUB or Rials and you are all fine with $? Might it be that behind the propaganda, when it hits your wallet the reality is different?

So you really mean that peeps be posting 'em achievements for some merits?? Cus that's what it implies.... If everyone is doing the same thing, isn't that gonna be some dubious means to earn merits??
Yes, 99% of them are made up crap to fish enough merits to enter a campaign that usually requires 5-10 in the last 120 days and then recycle the smerit by giving a smaller portion to some other "newbies" that just come with the same bullshit story. I've gotten tired of calling out the inconsistencies in the stories, like that guy that was spied on with a hidden camera in his honeymoon suite and they read the passwords from his phone, lol, a guy that got all his belonging stolen but he was safe because he had his cold wallet so he could guess what withdraw money to his debit card (probably by using his laptop that wasn't stolen, to his credit card that was in his wallet that wasn't stolen either), and many more. Also, the never-ending topics about they started their business with Bitcoin when they don't present a single shred of real evidence. There was a guy that suddenly opened a coffee shop, bragged about how it did it, never told us where is situated, and if I go right now through his post history after 1 year he never ONCE talked about his shop anymore! And it doesn't stop here, there are so wanna-be psychologists who open a topic every day with counseling tips on everything, just open the Beginners and Help subboard and check the titles, it's like you're in the self-medication section of a library.

suppose if HSBC create a signature campaign, it won't be a problem Or that we need to trash all Binance topics and ban every link to Binance since by their own admission: 'Like come on. They are here for crime’Also, should we ban every link and member posting to kycnot since this is also a directory that provides information to avoid FATF and AML regulations and controls? Oh, but wait!!!! Bisq? Is that legal?

It seems your post was generated from an AI bot based on what it looks like and some tools to check your post?
It was generated, he probably just copy-pasted the title with a slight modification in the question box: but, @alexkut987 actually no AI can optimize a said miner or mining farm when setting up a miner there are software or managing tool that you can automatically adjust and optimize a miner.
That software and tools are also basically a form of AI, since it's a tool that decided based on preset parameters how to act without supervision or human interference, so you could call them some sort of AI. If one can call a dog smart because it knows how to bring his bowl at 7 am in the kitchen then I don't see why not call this piece of code also intelligent. If the AI is perfectly developed I think it would "Enhance" BTC mining to some extent, but not quite in the way you think, it's more so the other way around, it would help the ignorant lazy people who buy mining gears without understanding a thing or two about the economics of BTC mining, and honestly, mining is rather complicated when looked at from the outside.
I don't think that even this would be a cure for pure greed or ignorance. For decades I've heard that saying about the weakest link in security for an OS is not the system or the bugs but the human user, even here although a smarter AI system than the one above who recommended me Hashflare would indeed make a case and present a convincing study on what to do and what not to do there will still be hundred who will ignore because they don't trust it, thousands who would say that the same AI would have told them to stay away from BTC in 2009, and many more excuses to act on their own hunch. So if we think of a 25% decrease in people losing money on this I would still call it way too optimistic.

I very much agree with the reason why this thread was created because if I am forced to choose a side between the government regulators and Binance, I will choose Binance.
You never learn, don't you? Rember the FTX will be number 1 and invest in FTT stuff? Or this one? ~ Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX and market maker, venture cryptofund Alameda Research are presently the most liquid companies in the cryptospace. Stop making idols of these guys, stop seeing them as gods or whatever, they are just some wanna-be Madoffs, but none of them (hopefully) will be able to deceive people as long as that piece of garbage did. They are not fighting against the government for our sake, they are doing so for their pockets, once it's more profitable to bow down to the authorities they will dump us in a second or throw us at the first that asks for our data and funds like in a pretzel sale. CZ is the guy that wanted to reorganize the blockchain for god's sake, he never gave a second thought, he never cared what others might suffer from it, it was all about his money. Besides, the whole thing is even funnier, you choose to side with him against the government regulations when in his defense he brags about how many users he has blocked, how many KYC he has refused, how many transactions he has frozen, and how much money he has seized when ask by regulators? Common bruh!

By the way, all people on bitcointalk usually praising binance ceo 24/7 will perhaps shut up a bit I told you: he's cancer for bitcoin. He doesn't care about you, all that matter are the VIP members representing the majority of the volume on binance Not going to happen. The mob needs a leader, that's why every single imbecile dictator has gained so much power, the mob needs one that lies to them, makes them feel secure, speaks their mind, and so on, they don't care about the other things, they don't care about the lies or the shady deals behind, as long as it's good for their wallets they will kiss any ass available in 100 miles radius. Binance is great, Binance is good, and I made money on it, they don't even realize that all the billions in those coffers CZ brags about are made by fleecing users, made by providing a 3rd party solution that goes against everything in crypto. You dare criticize CZ or Binance, it's FUDDDDDD! He fled Japan because he had no license! FUD! He never got a license in Malta despite claiming! FUDDD, the license is #SAFU! Does the US branch have a virtual address and a 1 employee team behind it? FUD! Is he charging you 100x more for real Bitcoins than his fake BNB bitcoin? FUD! This army of yesmen who would believe any crap and clap on every lie he throws will never shut up and only get angrier or lauder since they somehow identify him as some sort of price indicator, if he goes down it's bye-bye to their dreams also.

Sorry for the bump but I thought this update could very much well fit in this topic It's the only news article sating that Central African Republic made a U-turn on bitcoin being their legal tender. unfortunately the article has a paywall on it, so it's not possible to read the whole story.
I made a topic about this back in February: What's happening in The Central African Republic? Got zero traction, and nobody had a clue what was happening there, probably since the president is not every day on Twitter with laser eyes nobody gave a damn, just like Salvador seems like every single small country that does something for Bitcoin doesn't have a single user on this board as I haven't been able to find anyone from either Salvador or CAR on this forum to date, Hahahaha They probably got a lot of pressure (and maybe bribed or bullied) by the IMF and the world bank.
As far as I manage to get from limited sources it was the ECCAS, and things got very muddy from there on. It's some sort of economic union a bit like the EU, no, they don't all use the much-hated CAF, and the one members that opposed it are weirdly situated by any criteria, there isn't any real pattern whatsoever if anything, they are all more indebted to China than the IMF, the DRG is one of the Chinese strongholds in the area both in investment and debt and they were one of the against vote.

Royse777, (as you probably already knew well before me since I got vaporized from the sheet) I got accepted into another campaign. Honestly, I'm sorry for this, as you emptied spots only to have people living after barely two weeks, a lot of extra work caused by the same guy who you've offered a chance, looking back this doesn't seem at all like one of my brightest moves on this forum thus the obviously mandatory apologies in this situation.

Unfortunately, despite their potential, ZPMs are not yet widely available to the general public.
You're kidding, right? And for hydropower generation you need to use mountain rivers and drought rivers to generate electricity in many streams of rivers.
I know you're not kidding! Search a bit for more pictures of Itaipu Dam or Tucuruí Dam, some of the top largest hydroelectric power stations and you won't see any mountains around. As for the drought rivers, eh! Today I was thinking that what could be the best way to mine crypto with cheaper source of energy and than I searched on Google and I found our the Solar Power or Water Source of energy could be a better option mine because they need Lower maintenance and lower cost to other source of energy. Yeah, except that in practice, when you need 24/7 all year long cheap electricity and you're not receiving thousands of dollars in government incentives nuclear and dirty old coal-generated electricity beats the crap out of any solar-generated electricity. That's why without proper government cash and solar feed-in grid tariff plans nobody would even dare to mine with solar, or if they are doing it they don't realize how much they are losing or are going to.

I kind of agree, but at the same time, the collapse of Binance (the way FTX did) would probably send us back to the stone age. I can only imagine how the regulators would try to restrict us afterward. MtGox didn't send us to the stone age, more like the pre-medieval dark ages soon to be the industrial revolution The fact that they went only after specific cases, like a part of Kraken or Gemini staking activity, that they purposely left Coinbase or Bitstamp alone, or the only issue is with CEX being not FDIC insured while they claim it's obvious they have nothing with you as long as you play by the rules. If you want to run a business in a country, you play by the rules, and crypto trading is not ann should not be an exception. From my point of view, as my family is doing business in the EU area, why should I follow 5 different health safety regulations and standards and meet them each time we sell products that sometimes barely have 10k in value and a few hundred euros in profits while those guys run billions from an off-shore company while giving a damn about laws? And more importantly, why do we need them? If at this stage when everybody that has access to the internet can buy BTC (Bitcoin!!!) without using a CEX and should understand the problem of not your keys, not your coins I see CEX as more of a problem then a helping hand. Hihi, yeah, trying to downplay the importance of binance.us with only 5% ignoring that https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/03/27/binance-and-cz-sued-by-cftc-over-regulatory-violations/Binance knew that U.S. customers continued to comprise a substantial proportion of Binance’s customer base,” the filing said, citing internal monthly reports sent to Zhao, which said that, even as of June 2020 after controls had supposedly been implemented, 17.8% of customers were based in the U.S. And those are customer numbers, not trading volume, expect the median average of funds to be far above the rest of the world. I want to hear him screaming FUD, everything is ok, threatening people with lawsuits just as he was doing while fleeing Japan, this guy is worse than SBF right now, the end of BNB will be the best thing for BTC.

What is your point of you on this?
That I'm paying 1 BTC for your time machine. Don't use that source, they are simply stealing obsolete data from https://ccaf.io/cbeci/mining_mapwithout quoting the source and of course the methodology: https://ccaf.io/cbeci/mining_map/methodologywhich clearly states: This behavior is best illustrated by the persistently high reported shares of countries like Germany and Ireland where, as far as we can tell, no meaningful mining activities exist. Second, and more importantly, the whole thing that should be an explanation was written by either a malfunctioning bot or a 7 year old: It is also home to a desert where 50,000 computers are established in Ekibastuz so that the miners can get it down. Here, bitcoin miners work 12-hour shifts for two weeks straight until the bitcoin is mined.

And, today I still got 400 bad requests in a bookmark. this is happening since this thread was created. t his makes me can't check my balance price in IDR as I did before. Well, this changes things. I can confirm I'm getting the same error if I change the currency from USD to EUR and hit the homepage link in the logo. Since I assume there are no cookies left and this grabs the currency by IP locator (in this case whatever tor node) it won't keep your default INR, so yeah, it's a bug on their side. Unfortunately, I can't test right now with a tor browser or even with multiple VPNs but it gave me something to do later in the afternoon. Hmm, it seems that after getting the error even going directly to a balance blockchair(dot)com/bitcoin/address/whatever LE: F****, Everything is giving an error and I had to go to the setting page from my history to change it back to us now works perfectly. So yeah, a site bug, nothing to do with tor this time as I can replicate it with a "clean" dedicated IP.

The problem!
The problem is somewhere different and far more complex. You have hundreds of people from India that are not spending one minute on that board. (The reasons are easy to understand, most campaigns don't pay for the post in local forums) You have tens of legendary members from India that earn merits but don't care about the local forum that much at all, even if they don't post they don't even spend a few merits now and are there to help users who are active only there. With that lack of activity on the board, counting down the last bumped 10 topics the 10th had its last post in February!!! you won't convince too many that a merit source is needed for that board specifically. The solutions according to me (the all mighty stompix). Convince the Indian community to spend more time at least reading and writing topics. Increase activity there to attract posters and use the merits you earn elsewhere to award posters to the local board. You know, the whole thing, don't give fish, learn to fish thing! Temporary solution Grab a few tens of posts that you think are merit-worthy and post them in the already quoted topic or make one of your own if those posts already have a few merits and don't qualify for it. Since I'm a lazy merit backstabber and hoarder I can merit quite a ton of those if you can make a list of 10-20.

If your mom and 7 niggers were in an action movie(?), would you consider it normal? Would that be an art for you?
So you're not just someone who hasn't set foot outside his village you're also a racist? I wonder how the tens of people around here that are black, both Muslim and not keen on porn are digesting your quote! Are you're going to hate your mother for the rest of your life if he had sex with two <insert racist quote here> in high school, or are you going to hate her if she did that to feed your sorry ass and to afford to have you going to school instead of working in a labor camp? Do you think women who commit suicide while working in the porn industry are doing it because they're happy with their lives? Why are so many porn victims killing themselves?
And there are tons of women committing suicide after working in a bank or in a school And there are tons of women stoned to death by angry mobs who want to impose theirs views on morality! Please reply without blaming me guys. I'm not asking you for your minority opinions in the field of theory.
Minority? Again you dream of somehow being the voice of the majority? Set foot outside your village, there are 8 billion people out there! You still haven't answered my questions about what you do on his forum where you want to promote your hate propaganda: How did you buy your coins? By trading morality or with money (capital) Why did you buy your coins, not to earn more and increase your capital? Keep your hate where it belongs locked in a closet in your basement, this is not a propaganda forum nor one where you should start to preach your absurd views on the whole world. This is about bitcoin, and as much, as you hate it bitcoin is the pure product of capitalism without control.

Just when you think you have heard the dumbest thing out there, someone surprises you can comes out with something dumber.
And not just twisting facts and outright lying, sometimes I can't understand some of the radicals out there, they look something like this in my opinion: Weren't banks supposed to die because of BTC? Weren't you supposed to be your own bank? Wasn't playing around with fractional reserve the worst thing about banks? How the hell in the name of god can somebody come now and make a case for a bank that was insolvent, was below the 10% asset ratio, and act like it's a government conspiracy that is destroying something that was never supposed to exist? Seriously are we starting some tinfoil hat witch hunt club where everything is done because the government somehow hates crypto? If they hated crypto don't you think there would have been like 1 trillion billion quadrillion things that they could have done that would have had a worse effect than crushing their own banking sector? Just how dumb is this, they are shooting their own leg so they can't go to your birthday party and thus ruining it, or what?
