Iota did something similar to this (hitting pause button) a few days ago. Decentralized huh?

Hindi naman mag-full transition yan from physical electronic voting into 100% mobile app voting kaya huwag ka maging concern sa kung sino ang may cellphone o wala. Option lang yan para mas tumaas ang bilang ng mga boboto at gaya ng nabanggit, ang aim nito ay para sa mga OFWs na hirap magpunta sa mga polling precincts overseas.

After yung mga flaws na na-expose about Smartmatic at yung pilit na pagtatanggol sa kanila ng Comelec, I can't say I'm happy to read this news. Yes, it will be convenient and faster for people to cast their votes pero mas prone ito sa cheating/hacking lalo na at walang nasabing paper back up to verify votes later on kung kakailanganin.

Two years pa bago eleksyon (siguro may mahigit isang taon pa to complete testing at makuha approval ng Pangulo), pero huwag na nilang madaliin. Pwede pa siguro yan sa 2025 with blockchain voting na.

It could be the best guide but it's probably not presented properly.

In summary, you are trying to tell newbies to have genuine interest in learning how cryptocurrency, blockchain, and other stuffs related to them works and then apply them to their everyday life (correct me if I'm wrong). To a certain extent, I believe many here are already doing that. Some people are okay with easily giving up their personal information to airdrops/bounties, centralized exchanges and custodial wallets before but changed upon learning the danger of KYC and the importance of data privacy.

I remember you saying something like trying to evenly distribute sMerit and having a limit per day. Our local must have grown that much to break your strategy 

I know Dabs isn't our local mod anymore but isn't he still a merit source? If so, I'm not sure if another one will be approved. The other applicant (crwth) seems to have lost interest being a MS also.

Something's wrong with your format. Maybe you meant it like this?

• The changes that happen....
• The best solution....

If you want a representation thru sig. in our local board, I could help.

They say partly now because the numbers aren't concerning for them yet but when these organized illegal gambling groups are able to gain numbers again, they will probably blame it all on cryptocurrencies.

You mean the illegal gamblers? Nah, they wouldn't really care if the reputation of crypto is damaged or not because of their involvement. All they want is the money they can get.

Wallet: Abra
Bank: Union Bank

Abra because it's probably the friendliest wallet for non-locals. Union bank is one of the banks that supports withdrawal thru Abra wallet and they are the only bank here in the Philippines that has a bitcoin ATM.

You never know. Sabihin natin na Php 1,000 laman ng mga karamihang coinsph wallet tapos may 100 na taong nabiktima, that's already Php 100,000. Just imagine kung Php 2,000 yan tapos mas marami pang nabiktima. Huwag natin maliitin ang strength in numbers

Nabasa ko somewhere in the comment section na may malalaking nakuha. Bumuo ng grupo yung mga nabiktima at around 1M na daw kung susumahin yung nanakaw sa kanila.

In fairness to them, bago pa sila compared to well established banks. Kumbaga, mas tinututukan sila ng regulators kaya palaging may extra precaution sila gaya ng pabalik-balik na verification.

For many of us na sanay na magbigay ng personal info, wala siguro problema. The other thing here is yung recipient. Kung sakaling hindi natin wallet yung papadalhan (babayaran ng utang halimbawa), kailangan din disclose pangalan niya. What if ayaw niya or what if hindi talaga natin sila kilala? We'll probably have to reroute from custodial exchanges/wallets to our own non-custodial wallets then saka tayo magpapadala.

If ever you are going to declare na meron ka nga, I'm not exactly sure how that will work but I believe verification will have to come from our regulators (BSP). Sila din naman mangungulekta ng mga exchange data eh at sila lang din naman authorize makipag-communicate sa gov't authorities ng ibang bansa.

Naalala ko tuloy yung nabasa kong post way back 2017 or 2018 (not sure) kung saan binigyan sila ng form to declare yung assets na dala nila. Kasama sa listahan yung tanong na "do you own bitcoin?".

Kung matatandaan natin, naglabas sila ng final recommendation noong 2019 sa mga kasapi nitong bansa para labanan ang money laundering. Isa na dyan ang Travel Rule - yung policies na dati ay para lang sa mga financial institutions (kagaya ng bangko) ay gagamitin na din sa mga palitan ng crypto. 

Bago tayo tumuloy, bigyan linaw muna natin ang ibang terms:

• FATF (Financial Action Task Force) - an intergovernmental organization founded in 1989 on the initiative of the G7 to develop policies to combat money laundering. In 2001 its mandate expanded to include terrorism financing. Source
• VASPs (Virtual Asset Providers) - Includes crypto exchanges and custodial wallet providers

Ano nga ba ang layunin ng Travel Rule?

Ayon sa FATF guideline (paragrap 7b), ang bawat VASPs ay kinakailangan kolektahin at ipagalam sa kinauukulan ang iba't ibang mga datos ng mga magpapadala at yung papadalhan ng virtual assets. Kabilang na dyan ang mga sumusunod

• Pangalan, address, account number/wallet address, ID at iba pang pagkakakilanlan ng nagpapadala
• Pangalan at account number/wallet address ng papadalhan

Kung mapapansin ninyo, hindi na ito KYC-level data gathering lang. Kung sakaling ibang tao ang papadalhan mo, kailangan mo din i-disclose kung sino ito. Hindi ko makita sa mismong guidelines pero may nababasa akong articles na ang threshold ay $1,000 pataas.


Kelan ipapatupad ang Travel Rule?

Naatasan ang mga 37 countries na kasapi ng FATF na sumunod sa alituntunin isang taon mula noong ito ay malathala. Bale halos walong buwan na ang nakakalipas at meron na lang silang apat na buwan para mag-set ng kani-kanilang policies na naayon sa travel rule.


Ano ang epekto nito sa atin?

Sa kasalukuyan, bawat palitan at custodial wallets (i.e. coinsph) na alam ko dito ay may kanya-kanyang KYC policy na pero dahil hindi pa naman kasali ang Pinas sa mga bansang bumubuo sa FATF, hindi na kailangan sumunod. Ibig sabihin, hindi na kailangan ipaalam pa kung kanino tayo magpapadala.

Hindi ko nga lang masabi kung mananatiling ganito dahil nagkaroon ng pagpupulong ang IMF at ang ating Bangko Sentral noong nakaraang taon kung saan iminungkahi na mangolekta ng exchange data ang BSP. (Para sa hindi nakakaalam, ang G7 na siyang nagpalabas ng travel rule ay kasapi din ng IMF)



Labanan na ito ng privacy/anonymity at regulation pero mukhang wala tayong magagawa kung sakaling sumunod ang BSP sa mungkahi ng IMF dahil maliban sa peer-to-peer, wala ng ibang palitan dito na pwede ang crypto-fiat or vice versa at hindi kokolektahin ang personal info mo. Naisip ko din na parang nagpapadala ka lang ng pera gamit ang traditional remittance centers gaya ng WU, LBC, at iba pa.

Why not have a word with asu para hindi mag-overlap ang mga topics with statistics dito sa local board. Eto yung thread niya  [STATS] Local Board Pilipinas - Statistics Center

Covered na din yang top 10 topics of all time doon. Maganda naman siguro intent pero parang makalat na kapag maraming threads about similar topics at lahat ay active pa.

I was surprised to see you here. I thought you were one of us. To fully understand my post, you can visit the other thread (translated) I made in the service discussion board - Be careful of the fake airdrops/giveaways on facebook

Mahalaga din siguro na sabihin na wala pang Pamilihan board dati at karamihan ng topics ay nasa main board tapos nalipat later on. Halimbawa sa akin, halos doble yata ng mga nagawa ko dati ang nalipat sa pamilihan. Ewan ko lang sa iba kung ganun din ang kaso.

Para sa mga gusto mag-check ng topics sa pamilihan na ginawa ng ibang members, pwede niyo gamitin ang
habang wala pang scraped data para doon.

I guess nobody else here saw it coming, really good odds

30 points, 7 rebounds, four assists (with 8/14 shooting beyond the arc). Silent type but deadly players are always fun to watch.

Congrats to all those who bet on the Klaw.

He really did well and I wasn't expecting his performance. If only he had more assists (double-double), he could have won it.

Luck is on Diego Sanchez I guess. That means he lives on to fight for another paycheck 

This is what happens when you start thinking about fighting Jon Jones while your opponent is focused on beating you. Serves him right. It's a valuable lesson for all fighters.

It is an aggressive marketing campaign. Apart from the KYC requirement on exchange, which they later removed, everything looks "legal" to me. Those who received airdrops aren't forced to use the exchange if they don't want to unlock the frozen tokens. Referrals aren't required to pay for any product or services. The method could be something new but the end purpose is similar to what other exchanges did which is to increase their user base, volume, and pump their token.

Correct me if I am wrong, your business model must be similar to that of a bank. Those who deposit money in their bank account/s strongly believes that the money is 100% theirs but the bank also uses those funds and invest it elsewhere. The bank takes a large chunk of the profits while paying a small interest to the depositors.

 

Wala problema dyan basta pasok sa raffle rules.
