Does anyone knows about upcoming ethereum staking concept?

"Due to these events, it was decided that Ethereum will switch to a PoS blockchain in January 2020. Let’s see how this will work and why ETH might become one of the best staking coins in the market."


What do you think this will affect the Ethereum price on 2020. I am curious about the staking pool mention in this article

Its a good good news about ethereum holders.

investors are invading some exchanges why not developers? i know listing fee can be huge but few exchanges are just scam practitioners, developers should take their time to check out scam accusation thread on this forum and see how many people are been ripped off by these so called exchanges e.g idax p2pb2b among others

I really respect your ideas and your post, but one thing that should be clear to anyone that have bitcoin:

Never involve bitcoin with religion.

bitcoin has to do with science, has nothing to do with religion. discussion about religion never ends well

After the boom of bitcoin in end of 2017 it caught eyes of general audience and many people who thought it as a great investment opportunity bought bitcoins and this is now continuing more and more people with little technical knowledge joining the bitcoin community it was essential to happen this for bringing bitcoin in mainstream but with that this made this era paradise for scammers every day many scams come into existing now their number are growing faster and they target people with less technical knowledge of bitcoin they are likely easy to get scammed some of common scams the scammer pulls are :

1. Cloud mining scam where they make users to invest in their cloud mining and give them a very small % of their amount daily and also encourage them to bring more members so they can get extra rewarded after a time when deposit amount starts to slow down and withdrawal amount starts to increase then their threshold they simply vanished.
2. Multi level marketing scam this work as from oldest days just invest an amount bring two more make your own tree and earn rewards starting ones in this scams who are able to get many other people always get profited and 99% of members who are in down ranks get scammed they do the same when incoming amounts slow down and outgoing amount reach a certain threshold they simply vanish.
3. The seed hack scammers are approaching people saying we will teach you how to make 100$ in one hour and you need to give it to us most common people don't know about seed and put their btc in online wallet such as coinbase or blockchain so scammer get their screen shared and make them transfer their btc in a wallet such as electrum and got their seeds screenshots open their wallet in their own computer and transfer the amount people had no idea what struck them .
4. Investment scams deposit x amount and get x amount this is the most common type of scams getting all over the internet it is a small amount scam usually people don't mind to fell in it by giving 5-50$ of amount to these scammers .

These are some examples of classic scams affiliated with bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as bitcoin community is in main stream these types of things confuse people by saying bitcoin is a scam and what ever they try to do with it they ended up in the scam. With their less knowledge about bitcoin it is nearly impossible to make them understand that they are victim of classic scams and it is nothing to do with btc but for these scams they cant go any where or report it they feel vulnerable in using cryptos many individuals trys to point out some scams which get into main stream but this thing need to be done as a collective effort. I propose to have a plat form for normal people teaching them basics of bitcoin as a 9 year could understand all this. because community platform like bitcoin talk have a way to much advance topics which confuse or scare the new non technical people .

So that we could skip Steps 2 and 3 in your alternative method.
When P2P will be implemented in Binance, it will be better to use Binance than WazirX if you don't worry much about KYC.

So what is the situation now, is there any investigation being done, i did not loose any coins because i never used to keep any coins in any exchange but the manner in which they lost the funds and one man holding the private key is dubious and since there is no regulation and the government is not having any clarity on what to do with it, i do not think there will be any investigation on the subject, if not we would have heard something by now as it is more than a year.

So, I tried to buy Bitcoin from Binance via the new payment gateway. Looks like we have to complete KYC(personal ID and Facial ID) in Binance to make an INR deposit. So, I stopped right there. Didn't want to go through another KYC
Anyone tried yet? Made a deposit?

Actually, I was also looking for the same answer, that's why I made a try to deposit some INR. But when it asked for KYC, I stopped :/ It would nice to know if someone who have already completed KYC in Binance and the new payment gateway.

I tried the new 'Buy Crypto' feature of Binance and following are my observations:

1. KYC Process - KYC Process was smooth and instant. I submitted my Driving Licence and Selfie and that was all. Unlike some stringent KYC norms (which also ask for utility bills to verify address), it was relatively less strict. Once documents were submitted, Binance used netverify AI to access the authenticity of documents. I don't know how reliable these AIs are but I received the documents verified and KYC successful e-mail just 2 minutes after submitting documents.

2. Buying Crypto - You can select INR from drop-down and the minimum amount to buy is ₹1000. Binance uses Simplex and Koinal services to allow the trade between INR and BTC. Simplex and Koinal are global forex services which allow crypto-purchases from VISA/Mastercard Debit/Credit Card. These services charge 2.5% over-the-top fees and also inflate buy price by 2-3% so current Buy price will be something around $7700 - 7800. Also minimum INR purchase is ₹4000 on these services so ₹1000 which is set by Binance becomes irrelevant in final step.

3. Selling Crypto - It is not possible to sell cryptos for INR on Binance at the moment.

My feedback: I won't recommend to use Buy Crypto option on Binance due to following reason:

• Risk: It is always risky to buy crypto directly from corporation since RBI issued ban on banking services to crypto businesses. Although it's a kind of indirect purchase but still international transaction and on top of that for crypto purchase, banking software may mark that as suspecting transaction and bank may freeze your account.
• Fees: So first they charge crypto purchasing fees which is 2.5%. Then they inflate Bitcoin price by 2-3%. Third, they charge INR to USD conversion fees. It becomes very expensive as compared to P2P option.
