I did not access Bittrex in years, and now I would like to transfer my savings to other exchange. Yesterday, I tried to access Bittrex, and I am requested to scan my ID and to send a photo of my face.
There was quite a lot of drama some years ago when Bittrex implemented/forced KYC. It was ugly... Nowadays most centralized exchanges ask for KYC, hence this is no longer strange / suspicious activity from their side. So all you can do is to make sure it's the correct bittrex (bittrex.com, global.bittrex.com). Without complying their KYC requirements they won't allow you withdraw. |

Chiar imi e ciuda! Nu stiu daca ai avut vreodata sentimentul acesta, dar presimt ca voi fi norocos la aceasta tragere la sorti, daca va avea loc  Si, vazand ca nu se realizeaza, imi e tot mai ciuda!  Ei, o sa ai 1/16 sansa de castig.. ca restul celor care intra. Rabdare... Ce nu am inteles eu insa foarte bine e legat de partea aceea de depozitat bani. Cum poate verifica OP faptul ca norocosul castigator al tragerii la sorti chiar va depune 100$ in BTC / ETH si ii si pastreaza acolo intreaga perioada de 2 ani? Asta a aparut initial in OP. Cand s-a deschis tombola nu a mai scris nimic despre partea aceasta. Ma intrebam daca chiar va trimite premiile, mergand pe un gentlemen's agreement sau, daca nu cumva acestea vor fi pastrate timp de 2 ani de vreun membru cu reputatie mare a sectiunii de Collectibles (gen krogo, minerjones etc.) si abia apoi sa fie livrate castigatorilor...? Partea asta imi e neclara.
Pai nu stie 100%; e pe baza de "obraz". Adica tu poti sa-i dai adresele pe care le-ai inglobat si el se uita pe blockchain. In plus, poate sa iti ceara poze cu vault-ul sa vada ca l-ai sigilat si eventual sa vada adresele in poze... cum s-or vedea ele. Dar nu poate sa stie daca nu cumva tu mai ai cheile privata si altundeva si peste cateva ore muti banii de acolo, de exemplu. Avand in vedere ca tu iti creezi "paper waller"-urile pe care le inglobezi in Vault (DYI), nu are cum sa se poata face faza cu pastrarea. |

Asta ma frapeaza si pe mine. Mai ingrijorator insa este faptul ca nici OP nu mai pare prea implicat. I-am transmis acest mesaj de peste o saptamana, dar nu a raspuns la el:
Incerc sa nu fac "overthinking". Omul poate avea 1001 de motive sa nu se grabeasca. Pana la urma, cred ca scopul este (si) sa isi faca reclama si sa mai vanda din acele VaultBar. Sau poate e doar ocupat. Ce ma frapeaza e ca lumea nu intra. Tin sa atrag tuturor asupra oricarui contact cu acest individ andulolika.
Pe cand stiu ca trebuie un pic mai multa atentie cu el, nu cred ca este asociat cu ENS. Dar nici macar nu conteaza; sa fie si cei mai de vaza membri ai forumului in spatele proiectului, tot trebuie sa fii atent ce informatii dai despre banii tai. In legatura cu monedele nu ma pronunt... poate vrea sa se caiasca pentru greselile de pana acum, poate cauta un feedback pozitiv... treaba lui.
Corect, de aceea nu am "discriminat" concursul lui. P.S. scuze Neurotic pentru offtopic. Daca asa crezi de cuviinta da cu delete la ce e in plus  Poate ca o fi ajutand pe cine are ochi sa vada, desi cine are ochi s-a uitat in trust feedback. Deci las discutia, ca e un pic legat de concurs(uri). |

Similar to you argument against Monero, mixing is also putting your coins at risk because exchanges can also freeze your account if the see your coins went through a mixer.
I agree that mixing is also a not 100% perfect solution. And it's not because the horror (stories) of mixing with fraud money (which is rather unlikely, based on statistics), it's as you said, because of certain exchanges' policy, which is also overly inflated (I did sell mixed bitcoin at centralized exchange). Again, neither solution is perfect. I just wanted to mention one more option you didn't have in your list. PS. I am quite a fan of Monero and it makes me sad that it doesn't have the success it deserves. I still hope that the world (of crypto) will wake up and stop allow just anybody look into their pockets like it happens now. The whole idea of my argument is developers will find solutions to problems. I am quite certain there are many developers left who want to fight government’s intervention and proneness to tyranny.
This is a rather complicated thing. As long as Bitcoin has now a great success as it is, doing big steps towards making it privacy oriented may hurt it, possibly even permanently. Bitcoin started getting accepted by the big financial institutions, while Monero gets - now and then - delisted from exchanges. Imho one big component of Bitcoin success is that the agencies have understood that Bitcoin is - in most cases - easy to track. If you mean that altcoins add more privacy features - that's fine, but won't help much. There's already Monero for proper private coin and its success is rather limited. Litecoin wants to get back into attention - well done - its struggle may be a test ground for Bitcoin as a later move, but don't rely on that too heavily. |

It's a fine line for wallet developers though... If you put too many fences up, even optional ones, users will simply throw their hands up and cry "arrrgh, too difficult" and move on... and if you don't enable those options by default, users generally won't enable them themselves... and then complain "why didn't your wallet stop me from being stupid?" Honestly, it's a lose/lose proposition  I don't see it like that. I've seen a fair share of programs having "basic" or "advanced" interface or settings when you first start it, then somewhere pretty visible you can always switch between the two. Such a differentiation has a good chance to solve this problem. Of course, it's still not easy to find the best balance - if it would have been easy, it would be already done, I guess. The thing is that the advanced settings should be all there and well thought/implemented so the advanced users will go for this wallet, start suggesting it, start helping the newbies and so on. I mean that only the fences on and off are not enough for the success of such a project. Yeah.. maybe I'm hoping too much after all... |

I do tend to appreciate looking at the bottoms rather than the tops, but even when we are looking at bottoms we have to be careful to make those kinds of statements, such as "bitcoin will never spend more than 10 consecutive days below $40k ever again" - even though we might be pretty damned safe to say that about $20k or maybe even have a quite a bit of safety to say that about $30k.. but as we go up to higher and higher BTC price bottom levels it becomes dangerous to make those kinds of statements about the bottom - even though at some point, it will seem to become pretty safe to make those kinds of bottom statements.
The top, on the other hand, seems to have no limits, even though sometimes it may well take a while to get to the top numbers, including getting back to $69k, as you mentioned that current top number NeuroticFish.
By the way, I find the weekly moving average numbers to be great lagging indicators regarding the bottom.. and tend to work with 208, 104, 52 and 26, which would be the average BTC trading prices for 4 years, 2 years, 1 year and 6 months respectively, so now they are at $17,500, $27,500, $44,700 and $46,700 respectively.
So historically in bitcoin sometimes even the lower and longer-term weekly moving average prices do end up getting reached and breached.. so the longer the period, the more conservative it is in terms of how long the BTC price might be able to stay below such price points, whether 10 days or not.. or whether we might be in a bear market or just experiencing some kind of short-term crash... which sometimes can take a bit of a longer vision of bitcoin and maybe some time studying and analyzing to attempt to appreciate these kinds of price bottom matters and how long the BTC price might be able to stay below certain weekly moving average price points.
Nice theory for those who have the patience to read it. Unfortunately the troll will not care about the theory and will not be careful with his predictions, which are targeted towards those afraid they'll lost their profit in every dip - big or small. And, sadly, I expect some (maybe too many) of those will read the title and maybe the first post, not much else. A proper prediction for bitcoin is based on some logic (TA) and it's for short term. If a prediction comes with "never", or, like we see int he news, with no "deadline"... those are made only to draw attention and nothing else. People should learn to not take them serious. |

That poeple really don't care about the things you've mentioned that much. Convenience will always beat in a number match concerns about privacy and safety, seatbelts are the perfect example, the "it will not happen to me now attitude" can be applied to anything. Besides, yeah Bitfinex on their own won't seize your coins or freeze them but once a law enforcement agency will ask them to do so they will happily comply, so it makes really no difference between your own national coin and a coin from a company that will obey everything any government orders. You're completely correct. (And thanks for clearing up). Still, I hope that bringing this over and over again may help somebody now and then. And I still don't agree with OP to be cheering about what "good new thing" the governments bring to us plebs. |

what site do I use and how is it ok to type my cold wallets key onto an online site?
If you have this kind of questions, my answer is: please really consider buying a hardware wallet before doing any move. It has a big chance to protect you from your mistakes. And as said, the address is OK to go online. The private key should not go online, should not be checked online, should not be stored in email or Dropbox. Take some time, ask before each and every step and you'll be OK. You did very good to start by asking on this forum. You can't imagine how much money was stolen/lost because of simple mistakes. |

Do you realize that if you hold such a currency the authorities can automatically withdraw or seize your coins in your wallet?
Do you realize that the authorities can make mistakes or abuses and this can become even a tool against their opponents?
Now think again: is it a good decision or not?
USDT doing twice the volume of BTC and 4x of ETH and having 4milion addresses with a balance. XRP? Does this answer your question? I don't follow much neither XRP, nor USDT, so I'm not sure I got what you meant. But the fact people keep so much wealth locked especially in USDT doesn't make that right (I would clearly not do that) and while a government can seize funds for "legal reasons", most probably Tether will not do that. |

This thread is an example of why you never trust idiots to make predictions like these without any research. Interested in what OP has to say about his mathematical models LOL.
His "models" are very precise (/s). I call them "numbers out of the belly". The accuracy is very well shown by his other post: So there it is, the highest price bitcoin will ever see -- ~$58k $60.4k $61.8k $63.2k $63.7k $63.8k $63.9k $64.5k $64.9k $67.0k $67.8k $68.5k $69k.
Now, I just don't take him serious. But unfortunately some do. Some others tag him for trolling; it's clearly deserved too. |

Friends, I would like to know what is the fastest blockchain at the moment. I heard about the Tectum blockchain but there is very little information about them. Please kindly share your opinion.
There are plenty of altcoins claiming to have fast and very fast block times. You can ask in altcoin discussion. Just keep in mind that: * some of those may not have actual blockchain at all * some of those may not be decentralized at all * the exchanges usually just ask for a much higher number of confirmations for such transactions, hence you don't save any time * it's not advised to accept those coins without a "healthy" number of confirmations |

I appreciate any advice that someone may offer other that go mine to a pool lol!
If you want solo/lotto mining I will suggest a solo pool. You can read more here: http://www.kano.is/index.php?k=soloinfoBut yeah, still a pool hence I may be off topic. If so, please PM me and I'll delete this. |

I have argued on this before, I reckon cryptocoin anonymity will be the next leading issue after the bull market. Everyone will be searching for a solution on how to hide their profit from their governments hehehe. However, there will be solutions available. Monero is a proven altcoin for privacy, grin is being developed and Charlie Lee has declared that Mimblewimble technology will be adoped for litecoin.
While you are correct, people will most probably keep holding and using bitcoin, since it's more popular and brings higher returns. Also most don't know that bitcoin is not anonymous. Also way too many of those who know that bitcoin is not anonymous still think that "they have nothing to hide", not gasping the huge importance of anonymity. I hope that people will open their eyes before it's too late. Litecoin doesn't have Mimblewimble yet; Grin is not known good enough; Monero is not accepted by some of the exchanges...neither of the options would go main stream too quick; still one has also the option of mixing his bitcoin an option you forgot to mention. |

Dot com domains are to be used by private companies. Satoshi and the early team were educated enough to know that and use the more correct .org domains. They were educated enough to use the dot org top-level domain, but not smart enough to register those few (.com, .net) which would definitely manipulate the users if the project ever succeeded? Struggling to accept this. I don't think that any of them have even dreamed how big a success will bitcoin become. It's the only explanation that would make sens in my head. (It would also explain why so many early coins are most probably lost forever.) |

.com
Dot com domains are to be used by private companies. Satoshi and the early team were educated enough to know that and use the more correct .org domains. Of course that now, various... "people"... made the corresponding .com domains, to profit from the popularity of the original or to simply scam. I wish he (and the early ones) wouldn't have underestimated the human wickedness and would have bought the .com domains too, at least to redirect to the correct ones. But no, those .com domains (bitcoin, bitcointalk) are not related to Satoshi. You can always try to look at the web archive, for example https://web.archive.org/web/20091219013549/http://bitcointalk.org/It won't work perfectly, it won't have all the pages you'd like, but it's.. something... |

Satoshi Nakamoto
Nonsense, just nonsense. Your writing style looks nothing like his. Your ability to think analytically and logically is nothing like his. If you're Satoshi Nakamoto (the creator of Bitcoin), then I am God Actually... we're all Satoshi Nakamoto. Except you-know-who But yeah, OP is.. just another Satoshi wannabe. Excuse me, did you try to say something, ask something, or just advertise yourself as Satoshi? I'm asking because you didn't say anything new, you just re-composed (quite badly) the conclusions of some other discussions. |

I believe that people in this country can use Bitcoin as well as people in other countries. Is not it?
I know that foreign currencies are now banned in Afghanistan, but I don't think that Bitcoin is considered part of them since it's not issued by a central bank. On the other hand, it may be just "bad wording" there since the goal is that Afghan people use only their local currency. TradeOgre
Now, with the ban, there might very well be that one may not be able to send or receive fiat from any known/international exchange... And it looks like TradeOgre works with USDT and xUSD, hence stable coins, not fiat. Getting that fiat in Afghanistan is the real challenge... |

Unfortunately, I can't read the article because it requires registration or subscription, so I might ask a question that has already been answered. How much of an impact can this move affect Visa and Amazon when it comes to both companies ’revenue in terms of the GB market? I'm trying to conclude whether Visa users in GB will start putting pressure on Amazon to reconsider their decision, or will Visa at some point decide to cut fees anyway and thus admit that Amazon was right after all?
The impact is not that big, since only the UK VISA credit cards are affected. Still unpleasant and some customers may just buy from elsewhere. I've found an alternate link here: https://fortune.com/2021/11/17/amazon-blocks-uk-visa-credit-card-payments-fee-dispute/Some interesting numbers: Visa and Mastercard this year both raised their interchange fees from 0.3% to 1.5% for credit-card transactions between the U.K. and the EU The British Retail Consortium said Wednesday that the hikes were costing British retailers $135,000 more each day, while also adding costs for Italian, German, and Dutch retailers selling into the U.K. It's interesting that Amazon didn't do the same with MasterCard, although I see they have the same "problem". Or maybe they just try to force them to lower the fees - one by one. |

Just this morning a friend came to me asking me how he can invest in crypto. I was surprised because he always has been skeptical of Bitcoin.
Be very careful on how you present the information to your friend. Make it 100% clear that it's his choice whether he invests or not. Make it 100% clear that Bitcoin price can rise and fall. Also, if he indeed wants to invest, present him information about how to keep his coins safe (the wallet, which can be even hardware wallet, and the backup too). |

Well, that's the point, innit? Until someone gets these jokers into a court of law or even into arbitration, there is no way to find out what they're actually doing. We're all just guessing without knowledge. My point is that the mechanism to gain knowledge IS to go to court; you can't magically find that evidence before you go to court unless there's a whistleblower.
The problem is that even with a court order you may not find out much. I mean that since these problems occur pretty rarely, it's clearly not something the business does it, hence in the "best case" it's a developer that will do this for short time, remove his traces and move on. The "worse case" for you, the case that will be blamed officially is the user being sloppy, not taking care of his seed/keys (like storing in mail or cloud), clicking into phishing, or having malware on his computer. ...I honestly can't see any way you would have the tiniest chance to win this... (and I'm clearly not their supporter either).  |
