I believe they have created additional corporate entities to receive money through so they have been able to receive (and send) USD via the banking system. I understand they are primarily catering to institutional customers so they may not be willing to deal in USD via the banking system for smaller amounts.
At a glance, that sounds good, but why would institutional investors be trading at Bitfinex? Liquidity. In some jurisdictions, there are fully licensed ETNs. There are CFTC-regulated futures live now on LedgerX, These do not have liquidity And GBTC has been trading for years now, Lack of liquidity, poor pricing and high fees (to hold the security). |

According to bfxdata active USD Margin Funding has crossed the magic number of 300M USD for the first time: https://www.bfxdata.com/swaphistory/usdI´m still not convinced that all claims made regarding the influence of Tether on the current BTC rally are true, but something definitely seems a bit odd. After all Bitfinex lost their main banking relationships and nevertheless in the last months active Margin Funding has increased substantially and often coincided with the issuance of new Tethers. How much real money could actually have arrived at Bitfinex without the ability to deposit money in a bank account for the majority of their clients? I´m not even mentioning the fact that they recently shut down their operations in the US, which should have decreased the total amount of Bitfinex clients and the US definitely was not a small market for them. All of this happened in spite of a claim by Tether that Tether issuance is unlikely to increase by much in the near future. Ironically, Tether has issued nearly 500M $ since they made that statement. I believe they have created additional corporate entities to receive money through so they have been able to receive (and send) USD via the banking system. I understand they are primarily catering to institutional customers so they may not be willing to deal in USD via the banking system for smaller amounts. |

Hey guys.
Need an advice/help.
Is there a way to remove my red feedback? I contacted the person who gave me bad feedback many times, but he doesn't answer me.
I made a mistake. I did remove the post which made me earn red trust right after.
I learned my lesson, won't happen again.
So, is there a way this could be removed?
Thanks.
Contact Blazed and Hilariousandco about your concerns about Lauda's ratings. They are the reason why his ratings show up by default. If they are unresponsive, open a thread about Blazed and hilarousandco. |

Unfortunately at this point the best course of action is to leave the forum and discuss bitcoin elsewhere. Forum.bitcoin.com is probably the best alternative although it is nowhere near as active as bitcointalk.
Theymos has made it fairly clear he will not take decisive action against extortionists in the default trust network and will do nothing about the cronyism within the default trust network.
You leaving? Good riddance I'd say. I am sure I recall you threatening to do this in the past, but you didn't follow up on your words. There's always this time  I am not saying I am leaving (I am not in need of having to conduct very much business around here and the business I do conduct is with people who know to ignore lauda). I am saying that I recommend others to simply leave and take their business elsewhere when they are treated by dishonest people such as lauda and friends. |

I would prepare to get negative ratings from Lauda for just asking about this. I would not expect any kind of discussion about the matter, and any points that support your argument by both yourself and others will be ignored.
You might be able to pay Lauda some kind of "fee" to get the negative rating removed, however there would be no guarantee it would be removed forever, nor that Lauda will not ask for an additional payment in the future.

Wait, no way. That is my ETH address to.
^^this is irrefutable evidence that I am an alt of both of them /s
I like your spirit, after soo many negative trusts, you still have the guts to troll around. Grow up kid, I ain't looking for a joke here.  My point is valid though. All you know is BNT_trade is either an alt of trannamtan or is trying to impersonate him, you do not know which. My advice is if they otherwise qualify for payment (eg they made enough posts, and the posts had sufficient quality), then to pay them and move on. If you deny payment to someone who otherwise is working for you, then all you are doing is preventing someone from advertising for you who is otherwise doing their job well. |

A lot of the time, private keys will get stolen contemptuously with an account getting hacked so this won’t necessarily solve anything.
Also, the administration will look at a lot more than the signed message when considering to recover an account.
Such as what? If someone delivers couple of signed messages with a couple of BTC addresses posted here, what other proof could you need? If that doesn't cut it then nothing would. Like I said, most people getting their accounts stolen is due their emails getting hacked. Getting your private keys stolen is much harder if you are keeping them safe. The admins will check to make sure the person making the request is the same person who owns the account. The forum does not broker account sales, but will not knowingly help a scammer recover an account they have sold. The admins will review the geo-location, ISP, browser, OS, etc., of the person who is believed to own the account verses the person who is making the password reset request. |

You will have difficult downloading new blocks without initially downloading/validating the blockchain because you will not know if a received block is valid or not.
You will want to create a DB with the UTXO set that will update with each block received. You can query the DB when you want to check the balance of an address.

Doesn't vod have some system where if you actively participate in the community for a set amount of time, he'll remove the neg from you as long as you don't scam anyone else? Pretty sure this applies for loans only, so you may run into some luck.
Explain to him the situation and see what he replies as.
This is literally what the OP is discussing in the OP and the link was posted. |

What's going on?
We were not able to withraw US dollars from Bitfinex throughout the past few month, also if we were Germans or Swiss.
Is this issue in the menatime solved? Can we now again withraw dollars from Bitfinex?
Bitfinex is a criminal company and their bank accounts were closed. Of course , they opened another one but it's mainly used for their pockets and some "special" clients. They are using a shell company for that. Bitfinex will never open new bank accounts for its clients because they are banned of the banking system due to their illegal activities. Stay away of them! Quite a bold statement. Any proof for that? Ente No he is a professional troll. |

So you are saying OgNasty paid his extortion payment to you? Or are you implying that OgNasty did in fact leak TMAN's dox, as you are saying almost exactly the same thing OgNasty said in response to your allegation? Knowing that you are an extortionist the later probably fits better.
I have had no private interaction with mr. OgNasty for quite some time, until his PM to me. I am also not involved in any private messages that may have been exchanged during this fiasco. The only thing that I can say for sure is that you're a filthy little criminal. Think of those persistent pests that one just can't fully get rid of. That pretty much sums up your whole life. I wonder which alt will pop up next to attack someone. Gorgonzola, rottenpie, or shall we have a fresh name? How large of an extortion payment are you needing OgNasty to pay? |

- The body of a PM sent by a newbie will not be sent via email. You'll still get a notification, but you'll have to visit the forum to read the PM.
As a receiver of PM's, can we have the option to disable this? I frequently receive PMs from newbies and like to gauge the urgency of the message without visiting the forum. Also, having the content of a PM allows me to have a verifiable record of the content of a PM (provided it is not encrypted). Also, as an FYI, the subject line of PMs from newbies is still sent in the email. This could potentially result in a scammer sending a PM with the subject line "send payment to 1scamaddress..." from a phishing account. |

If you are making an attempt to sell something, and is unsolicited, it is most likely PM spam.

I wouldn't give out someones information. So I'm not sure why my name is even being mentioned.
It's either you, OgNasty or you have a traitor in your group. Pick the least evil option. QS made a dumb move there. Be careful. You're making some strong allegations which I believe are not true. It appears that you have failed to make the extortion payment to both Lauda and TMAN on a timely basis. They are trying to collect. Be careful. You're making some strong allegations which I believe are not true. So you are saying OgNasty paid his extortion payment to you? Or are you implying that OgNasty did in fact leak TMAN's dox, as you are saying almost exactly the same thing OgNasty said in response to your allegation?

- Cutout for the keychain loop
I am not sure how comfortable I would be keeping a quarter million dollars on my keychain. You may want to split that amount out on a couple storage methods. Of course, even with 250k on a single one you could easily restore it with your master seed if lost/stolen. I am comfortable keeping that sum on my trezor as I have multiple (with the same seed), as some are used as backups, and have a backup of the seed in an offside, secure location. My concern is keeping a trezor, which has hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of bitcoin on it on my keychain. If I want to spend some of my bitcoin while I am away from home, I will put a small amount on my phone and will spend from my phone. |
