What a brave and a goal-driven family. Imagine selling all out in 2016, which BTC price were just $500, though the price keep increasing year by year, I wonder how they struggle to adjust their daily lives, their trading strategy, their ups and downs.

Would be good if they have something like diary of their lives, or vlog in the modern days. Kudos, big respect to the family Smiley

Think about one issue if someone will get hurt in binance?
It will lose all customers one day so ezchangers dont want to lose customers for sure.
Hurt by what? by freezing their accounts or freezing user's stablecoins? They will do it without exception if you are an odd fish, yet they still have many customers.

Before making decisions and making opinions regarding stablecoins and being a safe heaven, try to research more about stablecoins, its risks and its relation to freedom, because it all contradicts of what you're saying.

Binance was initially requested to freeze Russian accounts in their platform, which they denied to do so (thankfully).
It is much better to support Ukraine by donating directly, like Binance did, than by freezing Russian civilians crypto.

As far as I understand, not one famous crypto exchange has yet taken such a step, even American Coinbase. There are reports of blocking ru-users by Ukrainian exchanges (Kuna, BTC-Alpha, etc), as well as selective bans of Russian users by such an American exchange as Bittrex.

But in general, exchanges remain loyal to Russian clients.
Idk why they should do that or any services would do, russians, mostly civilians are also victims of the war. The actions of their government should not be used as reasons to blame them and push them to the edge, no one wants war, only their state leaders.

I guess this will be different scenario unlike sending bitcoin/crpyto to a scam giveaway where greediness is more involve than just donating since people are promised that their coins will be doubled which will give excitements.

I know more people will be keen to this same like donating to a non crypto related donations. So it's fine to assume, at least for me, that people will be more careful this time. Well, if they don't, it's their money to begin with.

Regarding the problem of delays and long transaction confirmations, it has been resolved by using the lightning bitcoin network and transactions are carried out quickly and at lower costs.
No, not yet, I know there lots of solution will be proposed in the future to improve the technology of the lightning network we have today.

Also, making lightning network more user-friendly so more users understand easier it and do the transactions there instead on the common wallets.
3286  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Steam removed bitcoin because half of transactions were fraudulent on: March 02, 2022, 11:26:36 PM
Yes, they were actually accepting 0 confirmations transactions at some point.
I search a bit and saw some articles about the issue on steam and yes they do accept bitcoin with 0 confirmation which is a mistake accepting bitcoin without knowing about double spend.

For Steam/Valve technically being a business in the technology sector, and knowing that Steam/Valve wasn't some small crappy business back then, that's such an amateur mistake lmao.
Plus, considering they have these professional team with lots of knowledge even a simple research on how to make bitcoin transaction secure will give them idea that this idea will make their business a hard time. And its a shock its one of the reasons why they stop accepting bitcoin.

Good information, but the thing is, when I select "standard" for gwei, 11% for slipage (as mentioned above as recommended slippage >10). I see the "Minimum received" cut almost -10$ worth if I'm going to swap OWL > BUSD > BNB. Although I tried it. But I still can't move to this cycle of "Confirm swap" then "Price Updated". Just nothing happens.
You don't have to go through BUSD.

You can swap it directly from OWL > BNB and that will save you the fee for the one transaction that you have to do. IIRC, the fee that I've paid for that swap was 0.002 bnb.

Somewhere around that price or even lower as the price updates and that's not that much to me.
That's what I did actually in the first place, I can't remember the term but there's something route you can see before you confirm swap which the route shows like OWL > BUSD > BNB. Although I can't proceed this since it only giving me nothing, no errors and just like  the cycle of clicking the "confirm swap" then updated price "accept" and nothing happes. So what I try and did is to OWL > BUSD first then BUSD > BNB and it works with lower slippage.

Because you are converting twice by that trading path that you mention. OWL tokens original liquidity pool was OWL-BUSD so they will charge additional fee by trading OWL to BNB. As suggestion of some user in the previous post, You can increment slippage percentage by 1% until the transaction becomes succesful, I suggest to convert your OWL tokens on BUSD and send it to Binance rather than trading it directly to BNB because the fee is insane high for LP for owl tokens pool.
Seems reasonable, anyway, I still do it though I had to endure the fees, as I don't have binance account and I just send it to some local exchange where I can convert it to fiat with lesser fees. Anyway thanks for the info.

Well finally today i swaped in pancakeswap part of my OWL tokens for BUSD and for BNB. Thanks to the man a few comments upside, for say to all how they can be swaped putting a slippage of more than 10%.
All fine and in seconds i have swaped the OWL tokens, so good point for the OWL boys, the other part i kepp putting in stacking or betting in the site. I really like the "stability" the token have.
Can you share how much fee did it cost? Is the GWEI is instant? 10% stability is pretty high imo.

Now I'm stuck in the cycle of "Confirm swap" then "Price Updated", been trying hours already and it's pretty annoying, as I don't want to use higher fee.

The fee on Pancakeswap is not affected by slippage percentage. It still fixed as long as you didn't change the transaction speed which is not required to process your transaction since BSC network is stable. The transaction fee for normal transaction is around 0.2-0.3$ plus the OWL tokens fee for liquidity provider which is 0.25% of the total OWL tokens that you will sell which is very minimal. Slippage is due to low liquidity on LP and not due to high transaction volume so you can still have a successful transaction using a normal fee.

Well, if you consider smart contracts and cryptocurrencies of blockchains like for example, the Binance Smart Chain, then you pay mere cents for each bet. That does not sound like a lot to me? So you pay 14 cents and you bet instead of 1 USD, 86 cents. if you want. Seems fair. Even for the poorest among us, that kind of gambling should be affordable. Most bet at least 10 USD so the 14 cent fee won't even be noticable.

Perhaps there can be some sort of bonus system to even out the fees?
Then 1$~ish fee for every 10 bets is still not reasonable no matter what's the amount use to bet. Plus not so many are fond using tokens to play which mostly can only get from swaps or so.

If the gambling website will not implement bitcoin as payment option since the platform is made for smart contract I'm afraid it will be popular as what gambling website in this board.

I bet its because of cloudflare interrupting your access.

To get faster login you can use this url[1] to bypass the captcha including in tor.
About the 503 code error, as the description said, it maybe because lots of users accessing the page at the same time, refreshing it will resolve the error.

3294  Economy / Economics / Re: Ban Russia from SWIFT! Protect Ukrainian Sky! Send NATO to Ukraine! on: February 26, 2022, 09:39:35 PM

During the first two days of a large-scale war, more than 3,500 Russian invaders were killed, about 200 were taken prisoner, 102 tanks, 536 various armored vehicles, 14 combat aircraft and 8 helicopters were destroyed.  The enemy attack began to falter. They run out of fuel, shells, food. After all, Putin was counting on a blitzkrieg, and he clearly miscalculated.
The Ukrainian armed forces are repelling attacks in all directions with the active support of the population, which is formed into territorial defense battalions. In Kyiv, 14,000 machine guns were distributed to the population to repel the Russian bulk.
These number of casualties only came Ukraine tally, Russia reports otherwise, 3500 is more reasonable number if they are on offensive.
Talking about running out of fuel, shells and food is unreasonable as well, knowing russia is just a 1 step ahead in Ukraine.
Idk why they keep telling these information to media this way, like they are winning when their cities are often receiving bombings and air strikes. Even this numbers are true, Russia's force is way more bigger than this.

In anyway, I hope this war stops already.

@CoinbaseWallet now supports @Ledger hardware wallets.
Wait.  How is this supposed to work?  Hardware wallet with KYC enabled Coinbase does not seem like a working combination.  Am I missing something?

Coinbase wallet is non custodial wallet, unlike its exchange that needs an account where you can buy crypto which needss kyc.
Although there is feature to link your coinbase account to your coinbase wallet but they are completely different. So using HW to your coinbase wallet is somewhat reasonable.
3296  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Richlist Identity on: February 26, 2022, 08:11:03 PM

But are they going to that for a show? Not really, they don't even care that they should be found out as the owner of it, and for sure that they better keep it private than publicly known that they hold such funds.
Not everyone though, a business related person, influencer, or someone who wants an attention will do it. e.g. CSW, he really care, he's more with attentions than being secured, but unfortunately, he will not.

Also an example for microstrategy and saylor, who wants to influence others business or a person to getting involved on bitcoin.

It's good to see a community helping each other or even helping a country to fund at least only for victims of war, not to fund its arms.
But I don't see this as an ethical or even effective. How can they cashout these cryptos to fiat in terms of war? Also, if an exchange such coinbase or so supports like this, for a war, so it can be exchange and withdraw almost instantly as it is needed so badly.

Asking for transparency - don't expect that it will be a full audit or full transparency.
3298  Economy / Gambling / Re: Vulnerabilities in gambling websites in past on: February 26, 2022, 07:32:56 PM
What we need is a gambling site which is as decentralised as possible and which does not store funds.
This idea is only good for the business, yes its somewhat secure the funds, but not a customer-friendly. If this is executed by a smart contract imagine you need to pay fee for transaction or gas everytime you bet from your wallet. This is not reasonable and no users will last not unless the fee is too small that it cannot affect enough your wallet balance.
Since bitcoin doesnt have smart contract that works like that then the gambling site will only work using its token? Nah, I don't think it can gather lots of users here though. You cab call it a revolutionary or secured, but nevermind.
3299  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will be banned in the EU starting from 2025 if ... on: February 26, 2022, 08:11:24 AM
Just read this report:
...

'The European parliament has postponed its vote on the proposed regulatory package for crypto assets after a leaked draft drew criticism for including a provision that sought to ban the use of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ether in the European Union (EU) over energy concerns.
"over energy concerns"

Are they out of researchers? Lots of researches have done that the consumed energy in bitcoin mining is too low compared to other industry like banks or even much greener than gold mining. Even lots of these miners moved to green energy compared to this old-aged industries.

Why they still keep pushing that it's their main reason? Would be reasonable if they just say that don't want it since they can't control over it.

So having a cold wallet for a casino is recommended because that can prevent hacking that can happen anytime.
Cold wallets has nothing to do for security of the gambling website to prevent the hacking.

If you mean it's used to minimize the damage of lost funds taken when a hack happens, then it's reasonable.

In any way, gambling websites should have the same security feature of what exchanges do, it may be a matter of # of funds stored in its hot wallet but it is still a fund to run the business and should be considered in high level of security.
