2741  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which VPS recommended for Bot Trading? on: June 15, 2020, 05:20:53 PM
Hi any more suggestions?

Looking for VPS preferably dedicated not shared hardware resources. Or is all VPS share hardware resources?

If I run a windows VPS what recommended specs am I looking at? I understand Linux is less hardware demanding.

Not all VPS share the resources. What you need to look for is VPS using KVM, unlike OpenVZ, the resources are dedicated. KVM and OpenVZ are the most popular hypervisors I think. (Google VPS with KVM perhaps, OVH comes in my mind) It's also usually mentioned on the website

I don't know much about Windows server but a full server with CP and SQL need at least 3GB I suppose, so you will surely need less (just for the OS I mean, then you need to consider your bot)

Very high numbers, to be honest, it's surprised me. Imagine what the percentages will be in 5 years from now if the trend continues. A result from a survey from Fidelity shows more institutional investors think cryptocurrencies should be added to their investment portfolio.

Quote
“These results confirm a trend we are seeing in the market towards greater interest in and acceptance of digital assets as a new investable asset class,”

TLTR :

~800 EU & US participated in.

- 75% of Americans and 82% of Europeans are interested in these assets

- Stateless currencies: 25% of Europeans see this as a good aspect Grin

- 36% of them invested in cryptocurrencies, directly or via derivatives. (27% in The US and 45% in Europe. It 's clear EU is smarter than US, ok just joking, or not)

- 80% did it because it's/has
   * uncorrelated to other asset classes 36%
   * innovative technology 34%
   * the high potential 33%

- 91% of them would like in the next 5 years cryptos represent at least 0.5% of their portfolio.

What is stopping them?
- market manipulation
- lack of knowledge
- volatility

“Investor concerns are largely focused on issues that will resolve themselves as the
market infrastructure evolves,”

so where is the end of these scams? How we can stop them? Any guess you have?



When people will stop being dumb or naive enough to think they will really receive something. Scammers will become tired to set up scams that don't bring any money in return. Honestly, I doubt it's going to happen.
I have seen so many different methods where people got scammed, scammers re-invent the wheel with the years going. A decade ago it was with Paypal, so many so-called Paypal generator, or Liberty Reserve doubler, AlertPay gift cards, etc.

How to stop them? There is no way, the best is to educate others. A golden rule: too good to be true, it's not true
2744  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not only for criminals/bad people and get rich quick! on: June 15, 2020, 03:18:19 PM
I stopped to talk about Bitcoin with people IRL, it's a waste of time. I'm tired of hearing people talking nonsense. Just repeating what they heard on TV, without even really understanding what they were talking about on top of that. And when you explain to them the reality to debunk it's like if you are lying. LOL.

From, Bitcoin is the official money of the dark web, only used by criminal, to it has no value, it's dead. You know, the same arguments we were listening to here...
(I know money talks more than a speech) I believe only Bitcoiners know BTC is not only for criminals.

Another older examples like in OP that a lot of us know are the donations for Hal Finney fund, or when Antonopoulos organised a fundraising campaign for Dorian Nakamoto (50BTC), and himself received 100BTC as a donation

2745  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Looking for a Bitcoin Debit Card similar to Bitpay debit Card on: June 15, 2020, 02:32:38 PM
...

Coinbase isn't available to US citizens so far IIRC, only Europeans, and the original poster clearly said he lives there.
Who can sign up for a Coinbase Card?
So he/she can't.


...

Don't worry the UnionPay cards aren't massively accepted in Europe, with P.O.S it's ok but not all ATMs accept UnionPay network. I believe the problem in Africa is its ecosystem since I know the majority of transactions are done with cash (a lot of unbanked persons, not everyone internet access, etc...)
I suppose it will work, for example, there are Bank of Africa or Ecobank available in many African countries and providing Mastercard...

...

What do you mean by saying "a good card accepts Visa and Mastercard"? It's only a Mastercard by the way. And we need to join a waiting list and referer people if we want to get it faster.
If you wanted to mean a we can top up the card with another Visa/Mastercard then it's out of topic
2746  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain solution for Pension system of Primary school teachers of Bangladesh on: June 15, 2020, 07:01:47 AM
There isn't really transparency in a permissioned blockchain, here we're talking about a private DTL and it's not the same as public DTLs since only some individuals can access it to r/w information.

I'm also not sure if it's a good thing to let private companies 'taking care of' state affairs, which usually destroy several aspects in the long run. If today they start to use IBM's infrastructure you don't know if in 10 years IBM will be able to make decisions. While a state isn't here for profits, a private company is.

The beginning of privatization?

l'anonymat numériquement parlant c'est tout relatif, la blockchain par définition n'a jamais eu cette ambition (je dirai même le contraire), le croire ou le penser est une hérésie.

 pour ma part je reste convaincu que l'ont a rien inventer de mieux que le cash coté anonymat  Roll Eyes

Oui, comment dire, il y a une différence entre de la transparence et de l'anonymat. Mais la transparence ça ne veut pas dire être capable de mettre un nom sur une adresse BTC et lier les deux. Hors c'est tout à fait ce que font actuellement des plateformes d'échanges, nourrir les bases de données gigantesques dans le but de pister un peu tout le monde.

Y'a des années c'était quelque chose de marginal, les plateformes travaillaient ensemble parfois, sur certains cas, c'était pas quelque chose de crié bien fort sur la place publique. De nos jours, elles envoient quasiment toutes leurs données à des entreprises de monitoring/surveillance de blockchains. Ces mêmes entreprises qui ont des contrats aussi avec des gouvernements.

The company is licensed and regulated and uses BitGo for cold storage (itself insured with a $100 million policy), they can't play the nasty card too much.

Of course, there is still the debate about the KYC but with any similar platform using fiats, it's the same. And some will argument saying they don't trust to let a company storing their coins (but have no problem to use banks lol) but again it's the same with traditional crowdlending platforms (whatever P2P or P2B)
2750  Economy / Economics / Re: If you have agricultural land would you sell it or hold it ? on: June 14, 2020, 09:54:11 AM
I'm mixed, let me explain:

Hold
Without using it? It's a capital sleeping that doesn't produce anything (revenues), whatever it's in the long or short term. Capital that can also lose value

Use it for yourself
Yeah, it may be funny looking at first, you may tell yourself it will save you some money because you won't buy fruits/vegetables.
How many will you save, $100 monthly? It's laughable if we're talking about 1 acre. (You can't grow just anything on just any land...)
There is surely something more profitable to do.

Use it at another scale
In many developed countries, the farming industry is dying, there are so many farmers that don't earn half of what a full-time worker makes.
Thanks to great Europe and its stupid quotas.

Considering the most important point is "money" and there is different things more profitable to do, I don't think I would continue with it, I would prefer to swap for something else (still in the real estate). Perhaps not right now, in 2-4-6 years not a problem, but in this industry you need to think for the long term, 15 years minimum.

I'm personally looking to buy the blood in real estate (if it comes) in the next 1-3 years. Another big wave of COVID-19 and associated economic decline could shock the real estate markets pretty hard. A depression would hit food commodity prices, which would in turn devalue agricultural land.


I'm betting on it too. And it will be a perfect timeline for me but I'm not interested in agricultural land, I prefer to buy an apartment and make money with, borrow money to buy another one, and repeat the story.

Predictions based on nothing without a single argument. I can do that too!  Roll Eyes

It would have been interesting if this person explained what he was basing it on and give a date as well. It's easy not to give one, knowing that sooner or later it will/can happen...
Everybody predicts everything and anything these days. It's worse than the lottery. If you listen to all those analysts you will never do something. Nobody can say if it's "real", that's still just speculation

"it's really good to invest now"
It's good since the beginning. The same kind of people who constantly ask "Is it a good time to invest". Don't spend anything and later say "It costs too much now"

- Crypto.com can now deliver cards to Americans I believe since there is a disclaimer about the USA and the Patriot Act. See the bottom of the page https://crypto.com/en/cards.html

@BobBct
Can't afford the trading fees? Seriously? People are looking to invest in cryptocurrencies, spend money on, but can't afford 0.15%? So they can't afford to buy cryptos after all

2755  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Alternative to Purse.io on: June 12, 2020, 07:10:34 PM
Can you give me more information? For example, shipping costs, taxes, ...? I even free shipping and taxes for many US states, but my service is not much interested  Roll Eyes

The shipping cost is free most of the time because it's sent directly from Amazon warehouses. You know, with Amazon sellers can send their items to Amazon and the company takes care of the logistic and delivery.
And I think they use a Prime account as well

Quote
Is shipping included in the price?
Shipping is free for most products. If there is a shipping cost pertaining to your order, you will see the shipping cost line item added to your order summary at the checkout.

As for the taxes, I don't know to what you're referring too? We pay the VAT I think it's enough =)

IIRC, Purse.io was bought by Roger Ver, so I can see them favoring BCH in some way in the future. So far it looks the same?

The problem with this alternative is obviously that you need to buy and lock their coin, which can drop heavily in price. You buy it only get the discount, meanwhile someone which did the same before may be getting his ONG back (after his lock) and will sell them, making the price fall. When the lock is over, you sell for a loss.

Maybe that's not an major issue if you don't need a lot of ONG coins to get the discounts. But I can't find how much is needed to get the 20%.

Oh, I see. As you can guess they added Btrash to Purse.io but nothing changed besides this. The website is still dead like it was for many months before. For example, for the US market, there are only 6-7 users with a listing. I checked all countries and altogether there are less than 100 people.
I don't think R. Ver bought the company but he just injected some funds in. No news says he owns it now

And yeah, I didn't consider the fact the token's price can drop during the 3 months. However for the first purchase, it's free, no token needed
2756  Economy / Service Discussion / Alternative to Purse.io on: June 12, 2020, 03:47:17 PM
I found a website that looks like Purse.io.

People can get a discount of up to 20%, but there are 2 things to consider.

The user needs to buy and keep their token (ONG) in his account. The tokens are locked for 3 months, after this period you can of course transfer out the tokens and sell for BTC or whatever. (Not a big deal if you're a regular buyer.) You can also earn tokens if you don't want to buy but can not sell after the 3-months period.

And to my understanding, it's available only to US citizens I think. who's already used it? Maybe someone could be interested in...

(And while talking about Purse.io, look like finally, they're not planning to shut down... https://twitter.com/PurseIO/status/1267538635810881539)

Save money when you shop on Amazon.
Save money when you shop on Amazon. Get up to 20% off eligible products when you lock up Origin Tokens (OGN).

Origin Deals gives you access to amazing discounts on millions of items from Amazon when you lock up OGN. All products purchased on Origin Deals are shipped directly from Amazon.

Here's how it works:

1) Shop like you normally would on Amazon and click the blue Origin Deals button when you’re ready to check out.
2) Deposit OGN into the built-in wallet in the Origin Deals extension to unlock discounts.
3) Get your OGN back after the short lock-up period so you can use it for future discounted purchases.

Hi,

Are you going to keep BitCloak as legit service. I have not received my coins nor get hold of support. Has to be pointed out that i tried bitcoin cash mixer (BCH), not BTC. https://bitcloak43blmhmn.com/bch/

Seems dubious that no answer from support (states answer within 48 hrs), has been 57 hrs from my transaction and no support contact/answer.  


As I told you in PM it could be just a technical problem, which can happen to every website from time to time.

I can't really label a site as a scam because I see 1 guy is awaiting. I mean it's not like if a dozen of persons have the same problem at the same time.
I've got many PMs from people trying to brainwash me, and to use shady methods, trying to make me remove a site or dirty things.
And some do like you. Not saying you're trying to fool me but you get the point.

Please follow @joniboini's suggestion and open a scam accusation here and I will then do

Tu crées la transaction seulement après avoir miner un bloc. Tu n'es pas obligé de diffuser la transaction publiquement ce qui fait que les autres mineurs ne peuvent pas te la prendre puisqu'elle n'est pas connue. Et comme tu peux choisir quelle transaction tu veux inclure dans le bloc (du moment qu'elle est valide) tu l'inclus dedans et récupère les fees.
