3801  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] luty.io - Fiat to Bitcoin On-Ramp - No KYC <1000 EUR - Low Fees on: October 20, 2022, 08:01:08 AM
If you are using a VPN/SOCKS proxy/ or Tor, your transaction will be blocked by out fraud controls. You must use a real residential IP and ideally one that is near the address where the card is registered to.
The whole anti KYC talk goes pretty much down the toilet. You aren't asking for identity documents from your customers, but you do need their names and card details and real IP addresses.

What could be some reasons your fraud department could flag a transaction?
What happens if I deposit coins from a mixer?
What happens if they get deposited from a crypto casino?
What happens if the person who sold me the coins got them in an illegal way and now you are flagging my transaction?

Do you consider some bitcoins to be "dirty" or "tainted", or are they all the same?

Are you going to add Neodice @Pmalek?
I am not sure I want to. Not for now at least. I think they started off on the wrong foot here. I remember when they created their ANN thread. They wrongly advertised their casino as holding a UK gambling license. I made them aware of that here. Some time later, this claim was removed from the title of their ANN thread, but it remained in the profile page of their forum representative. I mentioned it to them again and they removed it.

They never explained why they made false claims and silently removed the information after it was pointed out. They never issued an apology or anything like that.
Does that make them scammers and untrustworthy? No.
Did they lie? Yes
If they lied about this is there a possibility they will do other shady things? Maybe. It's hard to say.
3803  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Want KYC at Crypto Casinos During Registration? on: October 20, 2022, 06:52:17 AM
Some hours ago i was reading in the TOS of a new casino how they ask for pictures of both sides of your credit card as KYC, and that's really dangerous for the users because they are not exposing only their personal information... now they could lose the money from their bank account with carding  Sad
That's just a ridiculous requirement, and what is that supposed to prove anyways? Can the sensitive information (numbers) be blacked out or are they requesting everything to be visible in those screenshots? With that information, they have everything they need to make online purchases using those cards. That fact alone is enough reason to have that casino tagged. Can you tell me which casino that is? I would like to check it out. PM me if you don't want to write about it in public. I could open a thread about it.   

Another things for "KYC" problem: Source of Income & Proof of address in some third country not everyone have this, because most of us, still living in the family. I'm hoping to get a solution for this one, it's make a big problem for some people.
Proof of address is something you will see with traditional fiat casinos as well, and I would say that's a normal thing. Not everyone receives utility bills in their own name. If you live with your parents, for example. everything will be addressed to their names. But this is something that can discussed with the casino support staff. If the surname is the same, it should be ok.

I wouldn't want any KYC at all, but there's no such option in the poll Wink
Sure there is. The last option that says you would rather lose your money and forfeit your wins than undergo KYC.

Most of these complaints are created by users that are using "radar betting" and they don't want go for a KYC.
Sorry, but what is radar betting? I don't remember ever seeing that term before.

In addition to the KYC issues mentioned in your post, I have also noticed the emergence of unlicensed and unregulated online casinos that have KYC requirements in their terms of service. These online casinos have no legal rights to ask for personal information from gamblers.
If there is no regulator that requires them to do that, you are right, they shouldn't have that as part of their rules. But they still need a way to ensure players are not abusing their bonuses or using multiple accounts. KYC is unfortunately the way to do that. They can also use the information to keep a record or banned players.

However, I would like to see casino just asking for it when you reach some threshold on withdrawal. Same on the 2 bitcoin limit on some exchanges that still exist. If it less than let say 1 bitcoin, then there should be no KYC to ask for it's players.
The thing is, players get asked to verify their identities even for small wins on certain casinos for whatever reason. What you are suggesting isn't a bad solution. But like anything, there is a chance for abuse.


I will try to check the other posts and reply to those at a later time. Great responses so far!   
3804  Economy / Gambling discussion / Do You Want KYC at Crypto Casinos During Registration? on: October 19, 2022, 05:17:32 PM

Crypto casinos used to be places where it was possible to bet on sports and play casino games without undergoing KYC and identity verification. Players were allowed to preserve their privacy but still partake in gambling. But things aren’t always as they seem.

These platforms often advertise themselves as NO KYC, but are they really?

We are at a point where KYC requirements are being abused. Those active in the scam accusations board can probably remember many cases where players have complained about unexpected requests to verify their identities. This wouldn’t be a problem if the rules were explained and honored from the beginning.

What is happening with KYC that is so troublesome?

When you open a betting account, most casinos won’t ask you who you are.
When you want to deposit cryptocurrencies, you’re welcome to do so.
If you want to bet and play games, there usually aren’t any problems.
If you lose your coins and you wish to deposit more, no one asks you anything.
No one is called a cheater or a rule breaker when they are losing. There are no TOS infringements, either.

But if you start winning and win big, you soon become the center of attention. All of a sudden, it becomes important who you are, where you are from, the origin of your coins, and whether you have any ulterior motives for being here.

I believe many problems and misunderstandings wouldn’t happen if crypto casinos were transparent and upfront with their players from the start.

You wouldn’t be banned because you were gambling from a restricted location only after you win. That is if the casino had checked this and informed you that you aren’t allowed to gamble there the moment you tried to register. Your withdrawal request wouldn’t have been rejected because you are underage if the casino verified your legal age during your first deposit or before that.

The way the system is set up now, you are welcome to deposit and lose, but please don’t win. Because if you do, you could be thoroughly investigated.


My question to the Bitcointalk community is this one: if it were up to you, would you keep the current status quo and have crypto casinos brand themselves as no KYC, only to ask for identity verification during withdrawal requests or big wins, or would you rather be required to complete KYC during the registration process and decide there and then whether you want to do that or not?

Please submit your votes in the poll, and share your thoughts below.

Your first post says that you charge a certain amount from the payments as processing fees I assume. How much is "a certain amount" (1%, 2%, 5%...), and is the percentage fixed or does it depend on the sums being sent through your payment gateway?

BTCPay Server is completely free based on what I know, and they are a trusted service provider. What advantage would customers have using your gateway and not BTCPay Server or some other brand?

S tim da ja mislim da nas čeka još padova i problema prije nego se tržište počne oporavljati. U SADu se sve više govori o regulisanju kompletnog kripto tržišta. Tu je na udaru najviše DeFi sektor kao i stablecoini. Ali pošto je ideja da se izbaci i CBDC kao zamjena/dopuna za USD, biće možda i problema za decentralizovane valute kao što je bitcoin. I u Evropskoj Uniji se priča o potrebama regulisanja kripto tržišta ali tu je bar po nekim vijestima koje sam čuo situacija nešto pozitivnija nego u SADu.

Ne treba zaboraviti ni Predsjedničku Izvršnu Naredbu Bidena da se pripremi teren za uvođenje CBDCa koja bi mogla proči i bez podrške Kongresa ako bude trebalo.

That's true. Users like BitGoba or Lunorael have made a positive impact. They are newbies in the forum sense, but not when it comes to their knowledge of crypto and Bitcoin apparently.   
And also that psychopath Snowshit is back with the usual bitcoin doesn't exist, it's all in your head, there is no value exchange type of nonsense.
3809  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BTC: cutting the trace on: October 19, 2022, 08:43:15 AM
Maybe you are right. It doesn't exist in the sense that 1 BTC is 1 BTC, all the BTC has the same look but it's a true fact that someone may get in trouble if they use input that they received from a stolen fund from a hacker. They are not the hacker, they haven't stolen but they have exchanged something with him and received that input. Won't it get them some hassle?
It might get them into trouble because of the choices they make. And that choice is using a centralized exchange that believes in tainted coins. It's not a protocol-level problem with Bitcoin itself. The problem is in the way those CEXs look at the history and conclude this is dirty, don't allow it. If 90% of users stopped using services that place taint tags on Bitcoin, there would be 90% less problems with taint unless new platforms step in.   

If I operated a currency exchange office and you walked in wanting to exchange your USD for EUR, and I turn you down because you are black/Jewish/female/fat/foreign/ginger, it's me and my business that does the discrimination. USDs and EURs can be used by those categories of people with no problem at all. I am the scumbag that introduced arbitrary rules for whatever reason. If the majority of people kept using my services, those silly rules and restrictions become a standard. If they don't, then there is no racism in the same way as there is no taint. 
3810  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: btc address on: October 19, 2022, 08:12:37 AM
If the amount involved is substantial, it is advisable to hire a lawyer. A lawyer who has experience with similar cases will be preferable, as he will know what steps to take in order to get a court order freezing funds. With such a court order, the exchange can be ordered to freeze the account and hold the funds until a decision has been reached on whether they should be returned to you or not.
That is if OP is lucky enough that the hacker will keep those coins in the centralized exchange long enough for the paperwork to be completed for the freezing to take place. If I was a thief, I would probably try to get away as fast as possible and not use those centralized exchanges for those purposes at all.

If the scammers had to go through KYC at Gate.io and Huobi, a good lawyer could eventually get the exchange to reveal the names of the account holders. By then, the coins will probably be long gone. But OPs lawyer could then go against those individuals, assuming they didn't use stolen identities and KYC information of some poor bastards that have nothing to do with this.

3812  Economy / Gambling / Re: List Of Crypto Casinos with The Best Faucets on: October 18, 2022, 04:09:49 PM
I think you should prioritize only good and trusted casinos in this list so that new users and all existing users can choose a casino site without hesitation.
That's the idea. However, you should never blindly trust any information you see without doing your own research to check if the site can still be trusted with your money. One that is good today can tomorrow go rogue and start scamming users. I don't check the reputations regularly to know everything that is happening. I make decisions when I see something bad in the scam accusation board or when a user informs me about something negative going on. 
3813  Economy / Gambling / Re: List Of Crypto Casinos with The Best Faucets on: October 18, 2022, 03:42:00 PM
Hello Sir, I think it's good that you include wintomato in the list...
Wintomato used to be on the list, but I removed them following this incident. I am not going to bring them back. You can read the linked scam accusation to find out how they handled themselves during that particular case and take a look at the below post of mine:

Update:
Wintomato has been removed from the table!
There has been a valid scam accusation against this platform since February 03, 2022 and they have failed to provide any information to the community as to why they confiscated $20 worth of DOGE from one user.

A warning to those thinking of playing at Wintomato. Read this scam accusation first.
I asked them twice to share their side of the story here and here. Their forum admin was online two days ago and there is still no response regarding this issue. 
3814  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Recover bitcoin from old computer on: October 18, 2022, 02:01:37 PM
Did you or your friend ever see those coins in your Bitcoin Core back in 2009 or did someone send you those screenshots? Maybe the same person who sold you the wallet? If in fact you bought it. I find it hard to believe that someone was mining Bitcoin that early on in its existence but is struggling to understand how to work the private keys and can't point out his address. But exceptions do occur.
3815  Economy / Gambling / Re: List Of Crypto Casinos with The Best Faucets on: October 18, 2022, 01:28:19 PM
We have updated our faucet function and would appreciate it if the newly updated amount is reflected in this thread.
Yes, I can fix that. I can see that the faucet amount is now 0.00000046 BTC instead of 0.00000042 BTC as it was in the past. That's equivalent to $0.01. Is the faucet configured to give out $0.01 worth of BTC, or will this sum be a fixed one in the near future?

But you're not advertising a site, you're sharing a bitcoin-related informational website. And it's not some learnmeabitcoin clone either, it's much more detailed and addresses a specific niche. So I don't think he'll have a problem with that.
Andreas and his team can be reached through his website. He has a contact form where you need to specify the reason for getting in touch. The closest thing is the last option "Promotion, Advice, or Review of your project". When you click on that, you will see a notification that says he doesn't review companies, projects, etc. And it also says you shouldn't use other methods of contact to get around this rule. When I saw that, I stopped to not cause any harm to what we are doing.

I am not sure who is behind https://twitter.com/BitcoinCleanup account, but maybe the whole thing could start from there.
That's the official Twitter account of BitcoinCleanup.com and also belongs to NotATether. 
3817  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: btc address on: October 18, 2022, 01:06:20 PM
You can monitor those coins, and once they go to some centralized exchange like binance/coinbase you can inform the police and the exchange so the exchange freeze the funds.
I don't see this happening. The justice system works and eventually gets there but not in time. You will have to file a police report, provide evidence that the police might not even understand or care about, and get a court order to confiscate the coins. Who knows if that's even enough because the exchange could be operating from any territory in the world. It could take months before the papers are ready.


@fuyicn
You could contact Gate.io and Huobi support and ask them what kind of proof/information you would need to provide them with, to have a hacker's funds frozen, confiscated, and identified. That way you will know how to proceed and it it's worth it.
3818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: recommendation for gambling platform on: October 18, 2022, 11:15:26 AM
You never mentioned if you are interested in sports betting, casino games, or both. The recommendations could be different depending on what you like and what the offer is on those sites. If you bet on sports, my #1 choice would be Sportsbet.io. They also feature slots and live casino games, but I can't say much about that since that isn't for me.

Here is a collection of casinos I made last year that shows withdrawal amounts and withdrawal fees on popular crypto platforms.
Withdrawal Fees and Withdrawal Amounts on Crypto Casinos

You might find it useful when you make your decision. The thread doesn't list casinos with legitimate negative feedback, and if I find that some sites have scammed players, I remove them.
3819  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Blockchain on Blu-Ray on: October 18, 2022, 11:05:11 AM
I'm aware that I won't have latest data, but loosing 1 month seems still much better than loosing full chain. Main point is to have some kind of disaster recovery. Armageddon recovery.
A personal achieve makes sense. It's especially useful if you have a slow internet connection, and it would take you days to download and synchronize the latest blockchain data. I wouldn't overdo it though. Once every 3 or 6 months maximum. Those archives of yours would quickly grow in a physical sense if you burned new Blu-ray discs every month. 
3820  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Blockchain on Blu-Ray on: October 18, 2022, 08:45:04 AM
Has anyone proceeded with this idea? I was thinking about the same. Not as a business, rather as archiving the chain for a long time. I picked blu-ray, because it's long lasting and EMP resistant medium.
If you want to keep such records yourself, go ahead. Honestly, I don't see the point. Hundreds of new blocks are added to the chain each day. If you saved the latest blockchain data on Blu-Ray today, in just one week from now you would be like 5-7k blocks behind. It gets bigger the more time passes. Data on CD's and DVD's tend to get lost with time, at least in my experience.

There is also another factor worth considering. It's not 2016 anymore. Many modern laptops don't even come with CD/DVD drives anymore. And in the future, there will be even less demand for it. Everything is online now and fast internet connection allows us to access that data from online sources.
