There's nothing to be uncomfortable about. A thief won't be able to access the funds without the PIN code and even you lose the device, you can always recover it using the seed phrase, the same thing you would do if you lose access to your desktop or mobile wallet.

It has been around since the beginning but that doesn't make it safe to use, online wallets are far from being a good choice. I would just go with a hardware wallet if I were you, you can store all cryptocurrencies, and you don't have to worry about the safety of your funds. If you don't have a budget for that then Electrum for PC and Mycelium for android for BTC. For other cryptos and tokens, you've got MetaMask.

I've already seen that on Twitter. That's just a way to encourage people to give away their identity and verify their accounts, the restrictions are not going to apply until October as already mentioned.


Kucoin might be legit but they can be very strict sometimes. I was asked not a long time ago to verify my identity when I forgot my trading password even though I had access to both my email and 2FA code... They didn't lock my account after I made it clear that I don't want to submit my documents but still, I don't think that's the best way to deal with someone forgetting their password.

I'm not sure of the reason, but it appears that @BaseFEX is banned: https://bpip.org/Profile?p=BaseFEX

So you shouldn't expect him to P.M you, not from that account anyway so if someone does contact you through the forums, make sure that he's an actual team member before providing any personal details.

تحديث بسيط: يبدو أن ايران قررت الرجوع عن قرارها الأخير و سوف يكون بامكان المعدنين المرخصين التعدين من جديد بداية من الأسبوع الأخير من الشهر المقبل.

و يبدو أن القرار الأخير لم يكن متعلقا بالعملات المشفرة بقدر ما كان متعلقا بشبكة الكهرباء و الضرر الذي قد يسببه التعدين خاصة في فصل الصيف:

أعتقد أن المشكل في المنصة (من ناحية البرمجة). لقد جائتني صفحة بيضاء في المرة الأولى التي حاولت تصفح الموقع، لكن بعد تعطيل ال VPN تمكنت من الولوج للمنصة. أما الان، فيمكنني التصفح حتى مع تغيير الايبي لذلك لا أعتقد أن المشكل عائد للقيود الجديدة.

هل جربت تعطيل اضافات المتصفح الخاص بك؟ ان لم يكن ذلك ذو نفع، قم بتغيير المتصفح كليا و حاول مجددا.

Okex seems to be a good alternative as well. I can withdraw up to 10 BTC per 24 hours without the need to verify my identity. I also like the fact that lightning network withdrawals are supported which is something I believe no one has done so far.

يبدو أنهم لم و لن يقومو بتطبيق التغييرات التي ذكرتها في مشاركتي الأصلية بل سوف يقومون بتثبيت ال KYC على الجميع مهما كان جنسيتهم للأسف.

منصات بديلة (للوقت الراهن) للأشخاص التي لا تريد توثيق حساباتها: منصة كوكوين (تأكدو من حفظ كلمة السر الخاصة بالتداول) و أوكاكس

I doubt it is. They haven't made a single blog post since 2020[1]. I looked in Reddit and found this scam accusation[2] as well. I joined the Telegram group mentioned there, but it appears that it's dead, spam is not even being moderated.

My suggestion would be to try and contact some of the team members listed on their Linkedin page[4] and see how it turns out.

I'm well aware of that date, however, I have received an email on the 14th of the month saying that the restrictions will apply automatically on the 17th but nothing has happened so I doubt they would do it tomorrow.

What happened to the 0.06 BTC limit exactly, is it canceled since KYC will become mandatory on October? They were supposed to apply it to my account on the 17th of the month but I can still withdraw up to 2 BTC per day.

يمكنك شراء ما يعادل 1000 دولار بالبيتكوين، ثم بعد ذلك، سوف يتوجب عليك توثيق حسابك ان أردت الاستمرار في استخدام المنصة أو يمكنك انشاء حساب أخر، لكن شخصيا، لا أنصح القيام بذلك تفاديا للوقوع في أي مشاكل مع المنصة.

It was announced about a month ago, and it was supposed to take place between the 04th of august and the 23rd (for existing users). Some users also got the limits lowered to 0.05 BTC instead of 0.06 BTC around April or May.

Yes they are, as announced a couple of weeks ago: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5145162.msg57601547#msg57601547

AFAIK, they're currently the only service offering virtual cards for almost all countries.

Yes. You can try and run the node using these parameters: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/50743

Is this a new thing? I used to shop from Amazon U.S all the time and I never had to link a credit card before. I just buy gift cards from other individuals on Paxful, redeem the cards, and then ship the goods to my package forwarding company's address.

Blockfolio is trusted and AFAIK, they don't accept any API key with anything other than READ-ONLY permissions. So you have nothing to fear and if we're speaking in general, there should be no risk as long as you're not giving away the permission to CREATE or UPDATE. You don't want for any third app to gain access to withdrawing, or trading, especially in this case, where these permissions would be of no use.

Your best bet would be to create a topic on the Meta board. If there's enough demand and support from other Persian members, I'm pretty sure theymos would consider creating it.

A scam alert belongs to the scam accusation board, but if it's not in English then it should belong to your localboard. Do you mind telling me where you tried to post but couldn't?

ان كان بقولك نشاط مشبوه فأنت تقصد امكانية وجود مشاكل مع البنوك أو القوانين المحلية الخ, فلا أعتقد أن هنالك موقع لذلك لكن من دون شك، عملة التيثر تعتبر من أكبر العملات المشبوهة حاليا, حيث أن هنالك بعض المخاوف أن العملة ليست مدعومة 100% بالدولار كما تزعم منصة بيتفيناكس (يعني مطورو العملة).
