3541  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Are bitmex just trying to scam with their kyc policy? on: August 30, 2020, 12:07:06 AM

If binance brings in something similar I hope they do address verification (like stocks trading accounts do).

Why?


I'll reply to yours and the pharmacists at the same time but in the UK we don't have identification requirements, instead you just give them your name, address and national insurance/social security number and thats a lot easier to do and I think it's safer than using government id.



If Bitmex were exit scamming, they wouldn't give people 6 months to keep trading and withdrawing funds.

Stuff like this concerns me. Do they not have the funds to prop up old accounts? People left in 2018 and before and they're wanting to profit from that maybe... I dunno it just feels strange.


This means bitmex have either found someone to buy all the kyc documents they took for the email verification last time or they're being put under stricter terms - they have an fca disclaimer now if you connect to them in the UK.
Wait, so they've already required KYC?  I've never had a Bitmex account, so I don't know how they do things but what's the difference between the KYC docs and e-mail verification and what they're requiring now?

Again I'm a bit confused.  Stock trading accounts require complete KYC, at least in the US.  Just like getting a bank account.  And I think Binance now requires KYC anyway.

Yeah I might have been better off mentioning it but I thought everyone had heard about their marketing managers stunt just before they left the firm of sending out a newsletter to emails subscribed but didn't have individual emails so everyone saw a copy of the mailing list. So people had to send in kyc if they wanted their email to be changed.

And in the UK we have address and electoral roll verification instead of kyc and I've registered on 4 exchanges and had the same thing.

Can you post a live demo/api keys on the account the bot is being tested with to see what sort of profits it makes?
3543  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Outrageous trading fees, should I switch to stocks? on: August 29, 2020, 07:29:13 PM

I actually have an account there but it wont let me purchase anything before identity verification (I don't feel comfortable giving my personal info. to companies that are out of Kuwait.)

It wont even show me the price of purchasing/selling 1 BTC in KWD before identity verification...... Thus discouraging me from even thinking of uploading my ID card.

Can you pay in your country's currency with coinbase? And how secure is my personal information in that company? It seems much cheaper than the company I deal with.

I don't know if you can use the Kuwaiti dinar, I normally exchange using the pound sterling though so there's a chance they do - you could try contacting their support.

As for the safety, I don't really know how secure they are. When I did kyc verification I only needed a photo of my passport so assumed it wasn't as bad (they didn't need a "selfie" for example).

3544  Economy / Economics / Re: Will bailouts become more frequent? on: August 29, 2020, 07:20:46 PM
With every bailout imo strengthens the control the government have on the banks and other institutions and heightens regulations.

I think we will soon just start to see government ownership of financial institutions instead.

I hope all the institutes won't go under government rule since it will create huge chaos in terms of how they run it. At least in the private sector you get few demands fulfilled because these private banks needs actual "business" and they don't have big fat wallets to fullfil any worsening condition around them. They serve the customers like a God, otherwise they might run out business.

Govt controlled banks are just treated as safety deposits, since they do not run out of business "virtually" and provide security of lifetime funds.

With every bailout comes a new set of protocols banks have to follow. Notice I said "government control" and not "government dictation" there are schemes the government could put in place similar to how the rail networks in Wales and London work with a similar structure to now but without private shareholders. In the best case they could run it a bit like some more charitable companies are run and have someone's share of a vote equivelant to the amount of profit they've brought the company (either by savings or lending) - you'd still pay your ceos and your staff a competitive rate but the onus is on the collective to make it run.
3545  Economy / Exchanges / Are bitmex just trying to scam with their kyc policy? on: August 29, 2020, 07:13:46 PM
From February, you'll have to kyc with bitmex or they'll freeze your funds apparently. Claiming they're doing it to ensure the only people using the exchange are in viable countries but binance and bybit both have similar services and aren't doing kyc verification?

This means bitmex have either found someone to buy all the kyc documents they took for the email verification last time or they're being put under stricter terms - they have an fca disclaimer now if you connect to them in the UK.

If binance brings in something similar I hope they do address verification (like stocks trading accounts do).

Can you not use coinbase there? https://www.coinbase.com/places/kuwait

Not sure if pro.coinbase.com is available there but if you can do a bank transfer on to it then you'll pay 0.5% (I think) per trade...

I found a tool like this: https://iancoleman.io/bitcoin-key-compression/
I think the source is avaliable at the bottom so you can edit it.

If not most wallets will probably be able to do the conversion (afaik) - I'm not sure about a bulk tool though.
3548  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why ICO Scammers Are Still Free And Keep Opening New Projects? on: August 29, 2020, 12:37:33 PM
Why ICO Scammers still free and they left past projects but keep raising funds from new projects?
I'm not talking in US, but worldwide, maybe if you are legal expert you can explain this, tell me your opinion guys

They'll either be
1. Hard to trace - due to the nature of the internet
2. Be in an uncooperative jurisdiction - like India or the US to Europe (and vice versa).

Also, based on trust such as forum trust, I think more dt members are on the bitcoin sections than the altcoin ones. And unless a topic is opened in reputstioj no one wants to skim though thousands of pages of topics to work out if the scheme is a scam.

spy - you cannot escrow for yourself- look at the trust of Quickseller when he did. 

Trust from five years ago is hardly relevant anymore.  If you are still the same physical person, your financial situation could have changed.


I thought QS's negs came from him using alt accounts to escrow his trades - this was the sentiment I got at the time... Still greatly dishonest and probably a good reason to flag imo..

I opposed the flag but I also noticed none of the trust ratings seemed to deal with spy taking any sort of risk. Most lacked references so it wasn't possible to see who went first and the most recent ones were for graphic designs.



The argument of scammer running rampant was a strange point. These complaints are egenerally often made against the moderators and not the people on default trust and a tougher moderation policy is normally adopted to delete scams (or has in the past) .

What are you wanting it to do?

Add something that updates your own wallet or do you want it to return your balance etc? What should it have stored too, most wallets need some sort of chainstate - if you can export the public keys from bitcoin core and import them into an sov wallet like electrum would that be sufficient or does it need to be compatible with core?
3553  Economy / Reputation / Re: Any moderator online? on: August 28, 2020, 10:42:18 AM

2015
You gave a positive feedback if the customer/client and vice versa was satisfied and transaction went smooth .
You gave a negative feedback if  someone scammed you or if they did a bad service etc ...

2020
Now they give feedbacks  like this:
Positive Feedback:Look he is my biz partner you can trust him
I don't like that guy he could be a killer/scammer i am going to leave a negative feedback
Without even a single transaction ... no proof

This forum changed a lot in 5 years  ,and not in a good way i see...



It was definitely a growing culture back then though (or maybe that was 2016). I remember some scam busters just busting everything at one stage (scam or not) but they'd get dropped from dt - maybe that's what we're waiting on now....

There are type 2/3 flags for that. Implied contract and written contract violations, which would cover any scam I think. Those are the ones that cause "extreme caution" and big red banners above threads. Type 1 (which is what the OP got) does not. It shows a yellow banner to newbies/guests, and merely a "#" next to the trust score.

I do use neutral ratings when it doesn't involve money or high risk or is not relevant to trading.


But high risk of what exactly? Why bother marking them if you're not going to lose anything to them?
3554  Economy / Reputation / Re: Any moderator online? on: August 28, 2020, 02:31:32 AM


Ftr: a flag was probably a bit excessive (this is really something for negative trust ratings only imo).

Neg trust is for "high risk", flag is for "high risk of losing money". Since this person is asking to send them money under false pretenses I'd say "losing money" is relevant here.

Should trust be anything other than being at risk of losing money? Trust isn't a "downvote"?

I think personal opinion comes into it somewhere but we ought to start making those things a neutral or were going to start needing a super negative for those who scam.

You're just going to make flags seem minor if so many people are marked with them and thus is counterproductive for literally everyone (especially newbies). If someone sees extreme caution warnings on enough peoples threads they'll start to think you have to do sonething (ie rank up) to get rid of it?
3555  Economy / Reputation / Re: Any moderator online? on: August 28, 2020, 01:43:01 AM
Move to reputation.

People get annoyed if you try to be an escrow without good trust or any sort of trading history. I'd recommend discontinuing the gambling offerings and if that happens, you'd then have something to complain about.

Ftr: a flag was probably a bit excessive (this is really something for negative trust ratings only imo).

@spy you post exclusively in economics anyway clearly so why does it matter?
3556  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you think SPUTNIK - V Vaccine From Russia is effective and safe? on: August 27, 2020, 06:57:08 PM
Isn't every vaccine in its final trials now? All the european ones are on human test subject now, one Chinese one is and the Russian one. It seemed before that they skipped important safety measures but I'm not sure if they're still doing the same or not now.

Itll probably be effective, not sure if any of them are at a good level of safety yet since trials haven't finished on any.
3557  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What's the cheapest way to transfer money from Coinbase.Pro to Binance? on: August 27, 2020, 05:14:18 PM
So this time there seems no fees involved - is this possible? Or are there any hidden fees I am not aware of?

Thanks for your support!

Yes, it is.
If those coin you moved was kept on coinbase for about a year or more. It something i have also experienced back in the days when I'm still newbie I use coinbase as wallet but decided to move my coins when their KYC issue increased due to the SEC rules and regulations.

Coinbase PRO has free withdrawals on everything.

The standard coinbase had free withdrawals - I think until they were high last year.

I'd say that your market fees account for the withdrawal fee on pro.

3560  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Transaction or Mining? (Chicken & Egg question) on: August 27, 2020, 02:49:48 PM
You don't need transactions to mine.

When you generate a block on the bitcoin network, the only transaction you actually need is the coinbase transaction (which credits the. Lock reward to the miner).

Everything is stored in a fixed size data block with most decentralised cryptocurrencies which stores the coinbase and all the subsequent transactions the miner wants to be confirmed.

A block is added to the network after a block is found ( miners have to hash the transactions of a block and get the number below a target nonce - pre set by consensus rules of each node). On average this target is set to make the average block find time 10 minutes. Its based on the average of the last two weeks when it changes.
