Nu cred ca putem sa facem ceva magic sa iti anulam Trust-ul negativ. Nu cunosc situatia pe deplin deci e posibil sa fie chiar meritat.

Singura solutie e fie sa rezolvi disputa in PM cu cel ce ti-a dat feedback negativ, fie sa postezi in Meta. Iar alta data sa ai mai multa atentie asupra serviciilor pe care le promovezi.

Tin sa mentionez ca o postare in Meta inseamna sa vii cu argumente si dovezi convingatoare si substantiale din care sa reiasa ca nu esti vinovat. "Ma scuzati, n-am stiut ca merg pe directia gresita" nu mi se pare un argument sau o dovada convingatoare. Proof & facts, not words.

Esti membru din 2018 si banuiesc ca nu esti nou in mediul crypto avand in vedere urmatoarea postare a ta:

For me it was in 2012-2014 (this gap, can't remember accurately).
Basically I am within digital forensics industry and while investigating deep web I saw that some services accepted bitcoin as form of payment.
It was some $300/btc and I would have never believed that such thing would go famous

Iar acest lucru ma pune putin pe ganduri din moment ce aparent, din cate inteleg din thread-ul la care te referi (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5238941.0), ai incercat sa promovezi un serviciu de generare de seed-uri online. Folosind BTC din 2012-2014, cred ca stiai foarte bine ca nu e tocmai cea mai ok idee sa te increzi in asemenea servicii ..

Mai mult de atat, ai editat toate postarile tale din acel topic ca si cum ai incerca sa stergi orice urma legata de tine si promovarea acelui serviciu (LoyceV are suficienta grija pentru toti) - ceea ce face totul si mai suspicios..

I find this to be a load of bs. I never heard a gambler / betting man say "had to make french fries and learn knitting... there was just not enough time to place my bet!" cmon...
~
Does a gambler carry his casino with him in the shower/while cooking/while getting ready for a job? I don't think so - and this is probably why they only stop when some other activity interrupts them from gambling. There's just a time when you have to stop, you can't continue a gambling session forever.. I guess it's common sense.
2463  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin Block confirmations, Why do they lag at times? on: April 28, 2020, 04:16:40 PM
Say the last mined block is Block no. 628,000. Are the miners:
 1. Trying to solve automatically and specifically the following "mathematical problem" aka no. 628,001 or
 2. Trying to simply solve a random one and whoever finds a solution counts as block no. 628,001?

My logical thinking says the first one is the correct answer. Anyways, here's why I was asking:

I thought for a minute about the idea of having a fixed block time of exactly 10 minutes which I suppose is achievable through coding and I was wondering: is there any advantage in having a precise 10min. block time?

From my point of view, if 1. from above applies, I have to assume that it'd mean all miners have to try solving a block and stop mining as soon as one of the miners sends a signal that they've successfully solved it. As soon as the 10 min timeframe passes, the block would be broadcasted.

If 2. from above applies, I guess it would be a bad idea: miners could solve more than only one block within the 10min timeframe and there would be a congestion in the block broadcasting as the code only allows one block to be published every exactly 10 minutes.

But would there be an advantage in having a precise block time or would it actually make things worse?
2464  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Newbies are safer with top altcoins on: April 28, 2020, 03:39:56 PM
Altcoins must be placed in the "top" category based on development and characteristics. Bitcoin's market cap was, IIRC, close to being surpassed by ETH's years ago. If that ever happens, it does not make ETH better than BTC in any way.

A good example would be the digital fiat. It'd have a market cap of trillions - would that make it better than Bitcoin? I don't think so. A better tip for newbies is to avoid most of the altcoins and possibly focus only on most developed ones and BTC.

Market cap and volume only matters when it comes to volatility. If you buy a coin with small volume & mcap, don't be surprised if it'll be worth a quarter of what you paid within a week. If Bitcoin can possibly drop to half of its price, it's going to be even easier for a less-known shitcoin to do so.

Didn't it raised flags already with the explanation that they are writing which makes no sense at all and 1500 ETH every 100 days. Thats like 15 ETH every day and with the price right now its around $3000 every day. Seems very real  Cheesy, I found my next job.

Seems like the operator of the scam is from russia

For newbies, it's a perfect trap. Remember that many of the crypto newbies think crypto is a get-rich-quick sort of scheme so this website looks and sounds quite plausible to them.

I used to send e-mails to the abuse address when I found these addresses, but I never got a single reply from any of them and most websites are still up.. I kinda understand though, as the domain seller has a single interest: to make money.
2466  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reason for ending gambling sessions: Had something else to do on: April 28, 2020, 02:43:25 PM
Now those who won a lot of money who are about 75 participants are the luckiest if these 75 gamblers are among those who says they had something else to do and so they stop gambling. That's a good number. 
~
No, that's a very bad number clearly showing how a significant number of people only stop gambling when they have some other thing to do like cooking or whatever else. It explains that they would basically continue to gamble if there wasn't another activity they had to do, and that proves their addiction..



~
* Main reason to gamble is to win money; and
* Contrary to my belief, the most popular reason for ending gambling sessions is "had something else to do," and not because "running out of money."
~
Well, running out of money apparently leads to the result of this survey: "75% – had to borrow or sell to fund gambling", so it makes sense. Lots of gamblers are buried deep in debts.

Agree with you - the house edge is too small to make a considerable difference. If you can bust with 97% chance of winning on dice and can also bust with 1% chance, it is quite clear that the house edge only gets a small advantage out of the game. In the end, greed can kill a session in no time.

Some people get to think that you either have a huge chance to become a milionaire if you keep playing or that you'd lose no matter what because the game is rigged. Well, it's us that keep betting even after small losses and we lead ourselves into a huge damage of our wallet. It's us that get greedy and lose everything after a big win. Casino only has that 1% house edge and that's it, but the decisions are made by us..

Evident, niciun stat nu se va inghesui la o lege Know Your Government Smiley

Dar in privinta anonimitatii, nu te da batut. Asta este calea deschisa de cypherpunks si acesta este modul corect de a folosi crypto! Daca vrei, citeste The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto, The Cypherpunk Manifesto, sau Phil Zimmermann's thoughts about PGP, pentru a intelege mai bine ce viziune extraordinara au avut oamenii acestia asupra viitorului.

Si, de ce nu, si acest topic: The call for Julian Assange || The WikiLeaks Manifesto - We all should read it.

Si nu te lasa descurajat de ideile exprimate de un patron de exchange (Vlad Sas). Omul isi vede de afacerea lui. E normal sa ridice in slavi exchange-urile centralizate. Dar, dupa cum ai vazut si in celalalt topic, cand a fost pus in fata unor aspecte fundamentale nu a mai zis nimic Smiley Ar fi fost culmea, de exemplu, sa incerce sa combata cuvintele lui Satoshi, pe care i le-am dat cu copy / paste.
Descurajat? Dimpotriva, eu pe masura ce trece timpul parca ma duc in extrema ca sa zic asa Smiley

Anonimitatea e ceva destul de greu acum de obtinut, insa cu putina straduinta reusesti. Viata, in schimb, trebuie schimbata putin in privinta asta daca doresti sa atingi acea "culme" in care sa te simti in siguranta. Consider totusi ca e viitorul .. ceva ce oamenii vor incepe sa simta ca lipseste tot mai mult din viata lor. Adica na, de la "nu mai sta cu ochii in ecran" am ajuns sa ne deschidem usile cu amprentele, sa o rugam pe Alexa sa ne porneasca TV-ul si sa purtam cu noi bratari care ne monitorizeaza in permanenta..

Avand in vedere ca aceste corporatii care produc device-urile respective (in mare parte Amazon, Microsoft si Google) au o dorinta extraordinara de a se extinde pe cat de mult posibil, parerea mea e ca ar trebuii sa ne simtim putin cam amenintati de ceea ce au lansat in ultimul timp.. iar statul daca vrea sa ma "tinteasca" privind acest lucru considerand ca daca vreau intimitate sunt terorist, atunci n-au decat sa o faca.
2469  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Does anyone know much about bisq? on: April 28, 2020, 01:52:03 PM
The security deposit always throws me off... I have been following the development for a long time, i've compiled bisq on my server and i open it up every time i want to do an exchange. But then i remember the security deposit and i use binance or some on-the-fly exchange instead.
I have to admit that the security deposit was a turn-off recently for me too .. On the positive side though, I have verified a few of my old Bisq seeds and found ~$50 sitting there from my security deposits, feels good! Cheesy But if you want to launch 5 txs and have to pay security deposits for each of them, it's going to cost you quite a lot and that's annoying..

However, it wouldn't be so annoying if the transactions fail and we receive the free compensation. Of course - it's only annoying 'till it's to your advantage.. Smiley

Eu am urmarit de fiecare data cursul ATM-ului ShitcoinsClub sa observ ce comision imi trage dintr-o tranzactie si intotdeauna am gasit ATM-ul la exact acelasi curs pe care il avem si pe piata fie ca e BTC, DASH, LTC sau ETH.. o buna verificare pe care o faceam era sa imi vad totalul valorii tranzactiei efectuate prin ei pe Blockchain.info, unde diferenta intre banii depusi cash de mine si suma BTC era undeva la maxim $1, confirmand ce tocmai am spus.

Din cate stiu, ei au comision 0% (sau intre 0 si 1%, desi nu cred ca aveau deloc) la vanzare si undeva pana in 7% la cumparare. M-am uitat din curiozitate sa vad unde gasesc cel mai bun curs la cumparare si n-am gasit nimic prea aproape - dar nu suna rau o mini-vacanta in scopul acesta.
2471  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Does anyone know much about bisq? on: April 28, 2020, 07:14:17 AM
I have used Bisq many times before. It worked flawlessly with all my txs, I fortunately have not been a victim of the latest exploit.

To be honest, I do not know for sure but I believe that Bisq connects to Tor automatically upon launch. IIRC, I had issues 2 or 3 times with the Tor connection through it but maybe it's my mind playing games on me.

One thing that scared me in the beginning was the long time I had to wait until the transaction was done. Due to the fact that both of you have to create & confirm the transactions and you probably live in different timezones, you first have a little uncertainty whether it's going to fail or succeed. If you have used wallets with console and so on before, I'm sure you'll get the hang of the Bisq interface after 1-2 txs.

Most of my transactions took ~10-15hrs to finish if you're wondering. If the transaction fails due to the other peer's fault, you'll get their security deposit as a recompensation. Smiley

However, I have only done crypto-to-crypto transactions over there so I can only speak from my crypto-to-crypto experience.
2472  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Patent number 060606 - Humans As Cryptocurrency Miners on: April 28, 2020, 06:26:08 AM
This anti Bill Gates stuff is interesting.

What do you think his motivation is?

It seems like you think he's pretending to want to make the world better, but really he's only trying to make it better for himself.  Or am I missing something?

I read your whole post, and I think you've been misguided - will address later.  But really curious about what you think his end game is.  
If he wants to microchip people around the world, I have no problem with it. If Musk wants to microchip people around the world, I don't care as long as people have a choice. But if you listen to Gates' own recent interviews, he literally says that we, the people, think we have a choice - that's basically telling us we don't.

If people want to take that vaccine or microchip, let them take it. I can't convince someone not to take something if they want to - it's your own body, right?

Well, let's put aside all these so-called "conspiracies" for a moment. The strong recent push for mandatory vaccines & digital certificates makes me think: what's the purpose? In Romania they're looking forward to a new law that would obligate parents to vaccinate their children and not only get fined if they don't, but the children would also lose the right to education after all these fines.

It goes way beyond fines and loss of the right to education: you, as a parent, are obliged to visit a center regularly that has one purpose: to convince you to let your kid vaccinated. Does this direction sound right to you? Because to me it's basically the government enforcing a substance inside your kid's body. It's the state sending you to literal brainwashing centers where you will probably be reminded a gazillion times of the consequences if you don't vaccinate your child. Hell no - be it my body or my kid's, that substance gets inside the body only with my permission.

The endgame? Well, again, putting aside all "conspiration theories": my first and most important question is.. why did vaccine manufacturers request immunity from liability in case vaccines go wrong? What do they know and we don't? Because it looks kinda shady, don't you think?

Now add mandatory vaccine next to the fact that manufacturers have immunity from liability. Do you like the possible catastrophe you surely can imagine? If anything happens to 1, 50 or 100% of the vaccinated, nobody gets to be punished for it.

Okay, now let's move on to the digital ID. Yes, I have a phone, a PC and an internet connection. But at any time I want, I can go outside without any of them and enjoy a day of complete freedom. In my opinion, the endgame is gathering all possible information from everyone around the world for various purposes - why do they need to use fetal tissue for vaccine research? Well.. if there's a reason for that, there sure as hell has to be a reason behind this entire thing.

About quantum tattoos - I'm not an animal, why mark me? What about the "Mark of the Beast" from the Bible - will you enforce it into my skin if I am religious and believe that's exactly it?

Again - UK knew about the virus months before the world found out. Taiwan knew about the virus too. Then you take a look at events such as Event 201 and wonder what the fuck is up because the recent models are starting to show much lower death rates than we were told and Bill Gates said months before the pandemic publicly on Twitter that he surely knows 2020 will be the year for vaccines.. I mean, you guys call it a conspiracy. But how many coincidences there must be for you to realize it is actually a plan?

Lagarde said a while ago that old people are an useless waste of the economy. Well, if she wants to get rid of the old, then why doesn't she begin with herself & her family tree?

Have you seen the idiotic joy on Gates' face that appears specifically when he talks about virus deaths, lockdowns and so on? Are we seriously putting our freedom and bodies in the hands of a man with no superior studies who's experimented on & paralized children in various third-world countries and has been on Epstein's plane many times even after his conviction? And after all of this, you STILL believe he's doing a good for the humanity?

Why does a vaccine manufacturer and funder keep on trying to push mandatory vaccines? It's like me owning Walmart and I enforce all Americans to ONLY shop from me. Wouldn't it be fishy? I mean, very fishy? Especially if I said that it'd somehow reduce population growth by offering all Americans the best quality of products?



If you want to take 100 vaccines from Gates and even pay him for it or pray to God that he has a reserved spot in heaven, do it. But don't force me to take shit under my (or my kid's) body! And by "keeping social distancing measures until there is a vaccine I basically understand that once that vaccine comes, I'll lose my rights unless I take it. And that is sabotage.

If you think that's too extreme, China has already done it. Oh, the CCP is there, right? Well, did the CCP place most parts of China (besides the territories where the rich live, of course) under lockdown and enforce it by military? Did almost the entire rest of the world follow them? We're apparently praising China, why wouldn't we implement the exact same measures? I mean, we're already going for the digital contact tracing, USA wanted to use drones for surveillance etc..

The end-game is the following: control. Everything. Digitalize everything including fiat, shrink the people's privacy and freedom, let the elderly die away as "they're useless" anyway, let the world go into hunger mode and then enforce the vaccine. The vaccine I am supposed to believe is against the coronavirus, but a vaccine that never existed and we're only HOPING to get. A vaccine and the removal of our human rights for a flu-like virus (and the most recent models show it). Should make you think...

It's a fucked-up situation. When I first told my friends months ago about quarantines, digital contact tracing and enforced lockdowns, they thought I was crazy. Look where we are now - my "conspiracies" came true all of a sudden..

Edit: by the way, regarding conspiracies.. "Conspiracy theories" always mention Rockefeller being one of the top supporters of a NWO where microchipping is mandatory (you can find videos about this from decades ago) and it was a "conspiracy" - well, look who the partners of ID2020 are! Hmm, Gavi, Microsoft and Rockefeller are three of the Founding Partners and Gavi is "the Vaccine Alliance"... See a pattern? Smiley
2473  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Patent number 060606 - Humans As Cryptocurrency Miners on: April 28, 2020, 03:01:24 AM
@TwitchySeal

In all honesty, fuck Snopes and all these "fact-checkers" using any possible interpretation to make a piece of information sound their way. Many of the articles I've "fact-checked" with Snopes had effectively stupid arguments that prove nothing.

I'll leave here an older reply of mine:

People were denying the fact that Gates is willing to microchip us. Now read the article above from 2019 and see for yourself. Does anyone really think that the article above + his patent for a body-activity-tracking crypto WO2020/060606 + his chilling video where he clearly explains how he wants to "slow down population growth" + the controversy of his tests on children in India + his ID2020 + his own words from Reddit about digital certificates is STILL not enough proof for the so-called "conspiracy theory" (if anyone ever calls you a conspiracy theorist, link them to the CIA DOC 1035 960) about him willing to implant microchips under our skin?

(added later) Here's some more: some USA vaccine manufacturers and individuals have gained liability immunity through the PREP act. Now ask yourself why if they're so sure this lockdown will end in a successful mass vaccination. Spoiler: because they know the vaccination is going to be successful in the beginning, and then the chaos begins. Smiley

Like dude. It's right in front of your face. They want the digital certificates, the digital IDs under our skin. ID2020, WO2020060606, Neuralink.. how many more examples do I need to give until we finally get to the conclusion that they're preparing digital chips? (btw: 060606, what were the odds.. so many coincidences.. oh, sorry, conspiracies again, right?)



~
Seems like a great idea, especially in places like africa with poor record keeping...but the only connections I see with our discussion is they involve putting things into your skin and vaccines, and Bill Gates is involved in Vaccines and the Patent...


Seems great, especially when you conduct experiments on Africans and Indians and claim to having saved lives. And then talk about reducing population growth and how "scary" the number of total population is going to be in a few years as if Planet Earth wouldn't be able to hold us all. Seems great. Just perfect. Would've been better if the population growth reduction started off with his family tree. Talk about the necessity of families to reproduce less but make 3 kids with your wife. Well fucking done.

Someone with no college leaving Microsoft to make a fortune off vaccines without any medical studies surely does gain my trust and convinces me to take their vaccines and microchips. I mean come on - it's not even as if he's pushing us towards the moment we fucking give him our money. We're already making them rich as small companies are closed and we all shop from the corporations only - all money goes in few pockets.

Also not a conflict of interests at all, indeed. Just a saint willing to save the world by reducing population growth! What a great cause, what an angel. Fuck him.



Listen to this homeless man from 1:03 to 2:09: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnh5OGwcWB0
"Conspiracy", huh..

Years ago I was used to being called a conspiracist, sometimes for stupid reasons.. but it looks like today they've been able to create this "conspiracy theorist" category literally any non-MSM information falls into. I'm surprised nobody calls us conspiracy theorists for stating that we're humans. No irony - it honestly wouldn't surprise me anymore at all.

So Gates is funding ID2020, has filed a patent for his crypto system using body activity data, has used some areas from Africa as testing areas for his quantum tattoos, has said with his own words that we will need digital certificates, Musk is developing his Neuralink which will apparently undergo human testing before the end of 2020, some companies are starting to microchip their own workers and so on.. yet, we're still debating and arguing whether this is on their to-do list or not... At this point I believe there's just no point in trying to convince anyone anymore, because when the thing becomes a reality people will forget these debates and say "well but Gates or MSM never said it's going to harm us!" completely ignoring the fact that they've been denying the existence of this plan to create digital IDs all their lifetime Cheesy

If microchips are NOT what Gates is planning, why does he not come out and say the truth? Because I'm sure he wouldn't like all the hate on his social media accounts if it came from a lie.. Wink



Later edit:
I took this from the Description of the WO2020060606 Patent:

Quote
[0005] Some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure may use human body activity associated with a task provided to a user as a solution to“mining” challenges in cryptocurrency systems. For example, a brain wave or body heat emitted from the user when the user performs the task provided by an information or service provider, such as viewing advertisement or using certain internet services, can be used in the mining process. Instead of massive computation work required by some conventional cryptocurrency systems, data generated based on the body activity of the user can be a proof-of-work, and therefore, a user can solve the computationally difficult problem unconsciously. Accordingly, certain exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure may reduce computational energy for the mining process as well as make the mining process faster.

 [0026] (...) Sensor 140 may include, for example, but not limited to, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanners or sensors, electroencephalography (EEG) sensors, near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) sensors, heart rate monitors, thermal sensors, optical sensors, radio frequency (RF) sensors, ultrasonic sensors, cameras, or any other sensor or scanner that can measure or sense body activity or scan human body. For instance, the fMRI may measure body activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow. The fMRI may use a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the body (e.g. blood flow in the brain to detect areas of activity).

One particularly interesting thing is this quote from the same page:
Quote
[0035] Furthermore, the task(s) provided by task server 110 can include solving a test for distinguishing human from machine input so that humans but not computers are able to pass it, such as, Computer Automated Program to Tell Computers and Flumans Apart (CAPTCHA) and reCAPTCHA which is a CAPTCHA-like system designed to establish that a computer user is human. The task may require user 145 to solve a verification challenge, for example, but not limited to, an image based challenge including instructions prompting user 145 to solve the challenge through interaction with one or more images.

All of them (biggest bet, loss and win) happened back when BTC was worth 1/4th of an iPhone. Smiley My biggest bet was probably somewhere in between 0.05 and 0.1BTC.

If I was to recall the largest win, it depends on what you mean by "largest". It was hitting a 0.02% chance roll through dice (earned 0.02BTC from it) in terms of profit (4950x) and approximately 0.15BTC with autobets.

Losses.. Hmm, I can't really recall significant ones! My accounts were all on positive and I never lost money - in fact, I have actually won on most occasions. I've mostly lost faucets and tips (will never forget the guy who tipped me large sums to bet with). The largest loss sits around 0.02-0.05BTC but I've recovered it quite easily.

When the feature-length documentary Monero Means Money topped the charts during the second weekend of April, it grossed just $3,430.

Yikes, the movie industry really is in a slump, isn't it?  Ah well, that's only temporary.  Those Hollywood schmucks will be back to their shenanigans and the cranking out of mediocre (at best) flicks that aren't worth renting. 
~
Does Netflix count as part of the movie industry? There must be a huge gap between cinema and netflix sales.

~
I wouldn't have thought Monero would be a good subject for a film, given how privacy coins really haven't caught on like a lot of people thought they would--and it mystifies me why that's the case, because I know a lot of crypto users do actually care about privacy and you'd think they'd be going ga-ga over coins like Monero, PIVX, Dash, and a couple of others.  But in any case, I may have to put the Monero movie on my to-watch list.  Seem like it would be interesting.
I believe it is all about people starting to realize how privacy is becoming a real life problem now. Guess we didn't start off this year very well and the headline-hitting Zoom exploits and privacy concerns didn't help at all with anything but creating a lot of people fear these "cyberattacks" from the sci-fi movies quickly becoming a reality.

To me it looks like people are starting to become more open-minded now that we're all staying at home. We just have enough time to check on things we've never studied before. I have never personally heard of this documentary but the trailer got me interested.

Can I ask what benefit you believe you are gaining from this? Huh

Are you simply attempting to mitigate the risk of linking the coins together by using them in the same transaction(s) because Ledger Live doesn't provide proper coin control? Huh
I'm trying to unlink the personal data such as IPs from the coins and addresses I currently have. I'm honestly unsure how else to do it. I guess using Tor would make no sense if I'm using the same old addresses just like it makes no sense to use Tor with personal accounts, right?

I'd rather move to another seed to make sure I don't make some stupid little mistake (like forgetting about coin control and using one of my older addresses) that'd make my effort a waste.

Tl;dr: My first idea of having an anonymous medium to use Ledger on has now been achieved through Parrot OS + Anonsurf - but how do I anonymize my existing coins and unlink my existing data such as personal IPs, addreses etc from my Ledger wallets?

Don't forget to watch Del Bigtree's The Highwire - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq6oOuhSx7ESreh6m9LGy6Q/videos. The logic shown is the closest that I have seen to proof that, say, 90% of the CV talk is simply hype.

Cool
Oh man, I miss the days we had normal news, weather and so on. It's obvious that it is all about overreaction and hype. They need to somehow convince us to stay home and what is a better strategy than creating fear & panic? It worked at first on me too, but that was before news overreacted. It didn't take long for me to find out that something's fishy..

I can only guess that they're applying a diversity of techniques and strategies to hold us in place and wait for .. nothing. To believe something that does exist, but is not as terrible as they say. But whatever, we're talking about MSM - haven't had a TV in many, many years and I don't regret it...

Cat despre ATM-uri, daca se schimba actualul sistem AML (sub 1000 lei anonim/1000-3000 lei SMS/ +3000 lei buletin), si vor cere scanare de buletin pentru orice tranzactie (de exemplu de 50-100 lei) atunci firmele care detin ATM-uri pot sa-si ia lejer adio de la grosul de clienti.Parerea mea e ca 95% din toti utilizatorii de ATM-uri BTC veneau tocmai pentru ca nu trebuiau sa dea buletinul.

Ideea e ca deja este implementata o lege AML la ATM-uri, nu vad de ce ar schimba sa ceara buletinul la orice tranzactie.Chiar si in Germania, unde sunt legi stricte tot exista posibilitatea de tranzactii anonime sub 250eur.
Nu stiu ce sa zic - unii folosesc ATM-urile deoarece le sunt mai la indemana decat sa foloseasca un exchange.. mai ales din moment ce "te joci" fizic cu el.

Pana la urma, daca stam sa ne gandim, in cazul in care vor introduce legitimare obligatorie la ATM-uri mai raman doar 2 variante anonime: face-to-face sau mining. Iar cei care vor sa investeasca in BTC cel mai probabil vor alege varianta cu KYC caci mna, confortul...

Cred ca fac si eu o vizita sa cumpar... dar cred ca dupa halving (sper sa fie buna inspiratia).
Si daca te gandesti un comision de ~7% e decent pentru ca vorba aia: chirie, curent,internet, revizii etc

Eu cred ca este. De obicei acum e vorba de mult hype, apoi lumea se dezumfla. De obicei am preferat sa nu actionez deloc in momente de genul asta si sa admir spectacolul. Fie ce-o fi, eu sa am BTC-u' in buzunar si sa stiu ca-s asigurat. Cheesy

Uneori si p2p e cu KYC, cere baietasul copie de buletin (am auzit la altii)
A incercat cineva de aici pana acum pe Bisq tranzactie p2p cu transfer bancar?
