I've only used BCT honestly and it wasn't because I looked it up, it was the easiest that I could come up with because of the syllables Bit-Coin-Talk. Now that I think about it, people's abbreviation for Local Bitcoins is usually LBC which is similar in pattern -- BC being bitcoin

But honestly, it's been awhile since I've used BCT as I prefer the full "bitcointalk". I guess there's also the fact that it's short enough to not trigger my lazy fingers lol.

Aha, emphasis on the bolded bit because it's probably for those who can post a lot -- assuming they also have a signature campaign on bitcointalk. In addition, some fellas are also living somewhere with a much lower purchasing power so the pay rate won't be half as bad for something you do on the side.

But most likely the most popular will be prioritized.

There is no such thing as unlimited resources so it makes sense go to the with the biggest potential compensation and it's safe to assume the biggest fish would be loaded. In addition, I think it would make a good "trophy material" for them as well.

There will be situations where people will have to send out bitcoins. In addition, bitcoin is pumping + holidays coming up so it's quite tempting IMO.

It's a bit of a prevent is better than cure idea but I suggest making it a habit to consolidate UTXOs everytime the mempool isn't congested. This way, when congestion occurs, there will be less transaction size for your future transaction. Moreover, if someone wants to take advantage of ViaBTCs free transaction accelerator, this would be helpful because there is a set transaction size limit.

You could try doing coinjoin as others have mentioned but if there's not much liquidity, I recommend coupling it with a privacy oriented exchange.

You could look into kycnot.me for some list but I would personally suggest bisq or if that's too complicated for you, then exch.cx is good as well -- has privacy respecting policies, works without JS, has onion link and reputation in the forum.

As long as the service comply with KYC/AML policies, there's always a chance they could share user information to relevant agencies, in some cases, it could be a part of their regular reports.

If you triggered a taxable event, you'd have no choice but to pay your dues unless you like the feeling of anxiety as there's always a chance one could get caught. However, keep in mind that not every move is a taxable event. For instance, holding should be fine in most countries hence the first step is to familiarize yourself of the tax laws in your place.

To be fair, it's not just bitget who adopt such practice, there are others as well and I'm pretty sure they're not first one as well.

I guess it's better than nothing but never let it create a false sense of security on you and still practice recommended precautions when it comes to any custodial service e.g. don't treat it as a storage. Who knows if every user will be covered in full in case a big hack occurs + afaik, the funds are fully managed by the service itself as well.

I don't think they do, my search returned no ANN thread.


Were you talking about the upcoming ban on mixers? I think they should be fine since they have KYC/AML policies* + no mixing function (as far as I can see).

*= saw them marketing their service with "no kyc for crypto users" but they still have KYC/AML policies that indicate they can request it any time if they deemed so.

They may not require a mandatory KYC but that doesn't mean they can't request if from you since most gambling websites have KYC/AML policies which you have probably triggered. I'm not necessarily saying that the trigger was valid, but merely laying out that they're there which could cause your situation.

Honestly, these services should start going with "no mandatory kyc" instead of "no kyc" so it's clearer but I guess the latter works better for them, ahem.

If it's just for avoding shoulder surfing, a privacy screen protector + finding a nice corner/place to check on you phone + fast hands should suffice.

In case they're really paranoid, perhaps they'd be interested on a discord bot that informs price. I actually have a personal discord server for shits and emojis lol, it's just me, my dummy acc and bunch of bots. Basically, if I pull up the member list, I'd see the price:



Suppose someone was shoulder surfing straight behind me... they could be thinking I was just looking at the member list. If there is another account (that's not a bot), you could also click on their profile lol.

I had to see what was going on so I went to install binance on my spare phone and uhhh... things ain't lookin' good.

From what I understand, binance is only some sort of aggregator and since you've already used this particular service, I'm assuming you have already agreed to its TOS.



Another thing I noticed was the service in question was marked as "new" -- not saying everything new is a scam but highlighting that newer services tends to be more risky compared to established ones.



Whatever the case, try to get in touch with binance through their live support. They need to know what happened to you and perhaps eventually remove the service. You could post in r/binance as well for extra exposure.

Although he's not korean but I once talked to someone who thinks it's already too late to get into bitcoin  -- back when I used to go to anon communities lol

Perhaps a lot of them could've thought that way as well? they think bitcoin has peaked so they move to what they think is the next big boom but end up getting burned. There is definitely misinformation coming into play. I wouldn't be surprised if loads of them just wanted to get into the hype train and pulled the trigger.

Honestly not fond of installing a lot of apps on my phone. If it works fine on my browser, I most likely won't install it which is the case for every crypto news outlets out there, not to mention that accessing through my browser allows me to block some ads too!

There's also a news aggregator that works great on mobile browser, called: cryptopanic.com


Like checking transactions? if so, you don't really need these apps as you can use any block explorers --website-- on your browser or choose a wallet with a "watch-only" option.

Could tell us how did you stumble upon this website?

I understand that there must've been a typo error on your post but I have a feeling we're talking about another obscure website... which if I have to be honest, not a good sign.

Bookmarked! but could you add fee rates plus minimum deposit amount as well?


Most likely for the signed messages/letter of guarantee. I checked a couple of letter of guarantees I had and they matched.

If I'm not wrong, you're asking if one of us have been scammed? as for me, not yet and I hope it stays that way.

The trick is to:

1. Play it safe as much as possible, in short, stick to what has been effective for a long time, then the chances of getting duped will be less likely.
2. Be informed of the blatant scams. There are a shit ton of these that keep on popping up but they're the easiest to avoid IMO because they're formulaic e.g. too good to be true returns, obscure AF, unsustainable business model, unprofessional, etc.
3. Make an effort to improve your personal security and privacy as they're all correlated in some ways.

Lasty, try to always ask here if you're not sure!

Speaking of other forums, Royse777 is planning to move one of their campaigns in another platform


My guess is it's either on altcointalks or bitcoingarden. I'm not on other forums but perhaps I'll check them out and test the waters. I remember visiting other forum/s yeaaaars ago, there wasn't much activity for stuff I'm interested on but perhaps things have changed now (or will change?).

It'll be interesting to see how this will all play out 

Because people will essentially be paying at a premium price. Took a quick look at their pricing and there is a fixed 100K sats as a mempool.space fee among other things -- emphasis on among other things as there is more depending on the transaction/options you choose.

With that said, you don't save anything, the service is more of a desperate attempt/last resort if the situation calls for it. If you wanna save, best to use viabtc's free transaction accelerator and setup your transaction in such a way that it meets viabtc's conditions.
