I think, avoiding KYC verification will give you full privacy, do not give anyone your identity even in bounty campaigns.
KYC is only involved when you start linking bitcoin to the service providers that work with BTC, to send a simple bitcoin transaction, you won't be asked for your information (unless you use an online wallet).

What elements must one do I do a totally private crypto transaction?

Such as hide the IP address. Make sure Google doesn't follow. Make sure no trace is done.

What would be the main steps to follow to create a fully private transactions?
Actually its hard to do a private transaction because all of the transactions that we are doing is already saved in the database system of the crypto or blockchain, but as they mentioned above there is also a way on how we can hide our IP Address just like using a VPN to be able to change your ip address in one place to another, you can use it to hide your IP address and once you choose a country to be your location it will change automatically the IP address that you are using. I am pretty sure that no one can trace your IP address once you've used vpn, unless some IT people will try to find and catch your transaction.

It doesn't really matter though to be honest, there are over trillions of bitcoin transactions, and no one will be able to link you to one of them/an address if you follow the steps below.

If your scared about this, could always use XMR, they are pretty privacy-based.
562  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Mining farm in Iran on: November 07, 2019, 05:15:36 AM
Hello all,
I live in Iran and as you may know , Iran is going to Use bitcoin at major scale because of national sanctions.
Also I have a large land in Iran,  it's around 7,000 km2 , in around 200 km2 of this land have an Iron Mine and recently I get certification and goverment authority to build a cryptocurrency farm, but I don't have any knowledge about it. So what should I do ? Can i find any investor or partner to do it?
It's a weird situation you are in right now. Usually people that join a team or form a partnership with other people have at least 1 of these things

-Money/Influence/Connection, either of these things is important to getting stuff done in business.
-Knowledge, understanding what your company/other partners want to do.

The only thing you have is a good location, so I would highly recommend you to start getting knowledge about what you want to do, and then be able to seek investments.

Since China holds half of the bitcoin's global hash power

i am curious about whether we have any actual data supporting this. i tried searching for it once recently but i could not find anything apart from news sites making claims without proof.
all the data or evidence we have are mining pools but pools doesn't own hashrate they just link people together.
Don't think we need data, it's pretty apparent that such a super-country like China would own half of the hash rate of the world, there are a shit-ton of companies with mining farms there, and it makes sense, so I just take these statistics at face value. Oops, just saw the article, there's your proof then Tongue

Not sure why China would ever consider banning Bitcoin mining, with them looking to get into the blockchain industry, they can quite easily try and control bitcoin (to a certain extent).

I would like to see it commonly accepted for property purchases.

For most it's the biggest buy of your life and the idea of having to dick around with selling BTC, worrying that whoever you sell it through is going to shut you down and if you get away with that unscathed you bank might shut you down adds a whole lot of aggro that you don't need.

Additionally the idea of the whole thing being done and dusted in one hour adds some appeal too. The one scary one would be scam attempts.
Isn't this already a thing? I think I've seen some articles that are able property purchases, and basically only include that the contract would have to be modified, and BTC needed to be set on a value (otherwise if you waited for an extra hour the value would be drastically different).

I reckon the food industry and blockchains/bitcoin would be cool. Would love to have a nice BTC wallet in Ubereats, and just spend BTC every time I order food, but I don't think it's something that is that big of an industry.

Which ads did you look at? Usually, the top ads only have spreads of 2-3%, and they are pretty easy to deal with, not the worst fees if you want to trade in a P2P way (better privacy here).

If just want cheaper prices and don't mind verifying your identity or anything, you can just go for Kraken. They work great with fiat, verification takes 2 minutes, and they have very good fees compared to other exchanges.

I wouldn't really trust anyone on social media unless they are willing to meet up, but I don't think any of them have fees lower than 2%.

Marx had its own version which was somehow similar to that of Plato's. B. F. Skinner believed in human engineering, further detailed in his Walden Two.
Karl Marx's version is capitalism, which is showcased in a couple of societies seen nowadays, and was practiced in Russia in the olden days. Communism looks good on paper, but we all know how it works in the real world...

This sounds like a similar idea - an idea of a utopian society, which just seems unachievable to be honest. This requires basically, that governments and rich people give up their power, and stop abusing the environment, and move to a more organical based environment, which just doesn't seem feasible, no company is going to give up profits to help the environment, we've seen this happen already.

For all of you who follow various content creators to Crypto?

what are 3 elements or pieces of information you like to see?

That the content creators may be missing out?

What would you like to see?

What would make you generate interest towards a specific content creator?

I think a lot of crypto-currency channels miss out on looking at the government's interpretation of bitcoin and crypto-currencies, I don't really see a lot of them cover the government movements, more just broad crypto news.

I enjoy videos that have clear planning, and are well made. Clear narration, good video formating, and clear graphics/person talking in front of me. We see this with a lot of YouTubers, but we miss out on the animation side, and I've never seen a lot of animations that are related to crypto-currencies, to be honest.
568  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Anyone use Nexo? What happens to repayment if your crypto collateral rises price on: November 07, 2019, 12:32:57 AM
You have 2 choices.

- You can place an order to sell a percentage of the coins and pay back a part or all of your pending balance
- Or withdraw more from the credit line.

https://support.nexo.io/hc/en-us/articles/360008117914-What-happens-if-the-value-of-the-collateral-changes-before-I-repay-my-loan-
Keep in mind I'm pretty sure you need to do this manually, it's not automatically done (eg, they auto sell your BTC for repayment), which is for the better I reckon.

If BTC goes down in value:

- If it goes down a small amount (still worth around the same amount as your loan), nothing happens.
- If it goes down a huge amount, they will give your warnings and probably automatically make payments from your account, to modify the loan.

A single person wouldn't have enough money.

There were thousands of trades executed on each exchange every day. That whale would have to set up bots all around the world wire millions of dollars to every exchange and keep them running for days buying. This is impossible even if you have the money to do it. He would need a whole building full of people trading for him 24/7 and it still wouldn't be enough.
That's literally what it comes down to. No one, except huge companies or governments, would be able to manipulate the market so much, making bitcoin pump 4x in a month.

It doesn't matter, either way, it's likely going to come to a range of factors, people snowballing, a lot of media attention, whales trying to manipulate the prices, etc.
570  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your Thoughts On Jorg Molt on: November 06, 2019, 09:54:16 PM
Lol, you guys should check his tweeter account and see the truth here:



https://twitter.com/joergmolt?lang=en

Just another wannabe here, he just uses the name of Satoshi for his own gain.

I guess everyone needs to move on, and for those who claim that they are or at least know who Satoshi is, if they can just sign and move Satoshi's coin then I guess that is enough proof. But so far we haven't seen any from those who claim to be Satoshi.
Just seems like a clown to be honest, his Twitter is just full of random bullshit like 'retweet and follow for 1 Bitcoin', which is likely a scam and I don't think he'll be giving any of his money away.

He pulled a stunt with Andreas (someone the community respects quite a lot) and then went around saying that they where butt buddies and that he believed that he was also the owner of bitcoin, just caused a bunch of random shit for no reason... What a clown
571  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is Like An Orphan on: November 06, 2019, 09:40:07 PM
It's different with bitcoin. A lot of airdrops and other projects are able to give away insane amounts of crypto currencies because they aren't worth a lot of money (and because their tokens are worthless).

Bitcoin doesn't need to do this, because it obviously already has value and there is just no need for such a thing, especially when it's received so much media attention.

Bitcoin cash/Roger Ver has likely just done this for free media attention, and it fits him well
572  Economy / Economics / Re: US Federal Reserve Hiring Retail Payments Manager to Research Digital Currencies on: November 06, 2019, 08:44:43 PM
I doubt FED will go into crypto, that is not a possibility because crypto is literally created against them, it is a protection from them. The only thing I can understand from this is they are looking for someone who can find ways to go around crypto instead of using it, or even find ways that would make bitcoin useless, after all they may not stop it but they can certainly try to slow it down or make it worthless.
Yeah, that's the mindset I had as well, I don't really think that they would just be involved in crypto-currencies after they've been so opposed against it for so long, it'll be them doing an entire 360.

But man, wouldn't it be great if the US took advice from China and other Asian countries and actually started their own crypto-currencies? I'm sure they'd receive a ton of support, but I guess it just goes against their values, which is saddening.
573  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 3 Concerns You Have For Bitcoin on: November 06, 2019, 08:29:03 PM
1. Mainstream adoption, I don't think we'd be seeing a lot of that in the recent years, it looks like government have chosen to make their own currencies and choose utilising blockchain technology over bitcoin technology.

2. Inability to handle microtransactions/fees(excluding lighting network), which is going to make a real life use case very difficult.

3. Incorrect interpretation from media, will likely lead to alot of people seeing it and just instantly not being interested.
574  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How To make a Private Transaction on: November 06, 2019, 07:39:22 PM
There are a couple of options available here:

-Use a VPN + TOR to access the bitcoin network and actually send the transaction there.
-Instead of using a mixer, exchange it to another currency, eg (ETH), and then make a new wallet, turn it back to BTC and you'll be able to use it again.
-Do not reveal any information to the person you are sending it to.
575  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [2019-10-05] 55 billion token burn sends Stellar Lumens (XLM) price soaring on: November 06, 2019, 04:27:31 AM
Jesus. That's half their fucking token supply, one way to pump a market, that's for sure.

I think the devs have a good mindset, and I understand their reasons why they choose to decimate their coin - it's a massive show of strength and really makes their community a lot more tight-nit.

I like it. Bold move, but it looks like they know what they are doing. Stellar is flying up the price charts now, that's for sure.
576  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Fiat-to-crypto - what's with the fees? on: November 06, 2019, 01:22:08 AM
Crypto to crypto is fairly easy, your comparing 2 coins/items in the same market which makes things pretty easy.

Crypto to fist is a different story, and I have no idea why you are being charged such fees, I've never paid 7 percent to cash out ever. Use localbitcoins - they only charge you 3 percent spreads for transactions, or try set up your own fees and pay nothing in fees, and possibly even make some money.
577  Economy / Economics / Re: US Federal Reserve Hiring Retail Payments Manager to Research Digital Currencies on: November 06, 2019, 12:08:57 AM
Could be taken 2 ways in my opinion.

The first one (and better one in my opinion) the us bank is willing to work with crypto currencies and are looking to incorporate some form of blockchain technology in their banks, either a new banking system, or a possible coin.

The us bank is researching certain methods where it would be able to basically block any form of crypto activity from their banks, and basically shut down accounts if they are related to crypto activity.
578  Economy / Services / Re: Need help advertising my crypto company on: November 05, 2019, 11:38:29 PM
Hello I will pay for you to advertise my bitcoin buying and selling business. I pay 30% of my profit for leads.

If you're going to do it that way, why not do it like how most websites do it? Add an affiliate/referral program. That way, you wouldn't need everyone to message you individually. Of course, completely assuming that your "crypto company" is legitimate in the first place.
You'll need to have decent traffic people to even consider shilling for your product, and since I'm assuming that the OP's project is a relatively new one and doesn't have a lot of traffic for this to happen.

this not how to go about it at all in this era of scam. No information on the project and the team behind it, what kind of advert do want? reach out the campaign managers on the forum, the credible one not those that only bring scam projects, they should put you through and be ready to prove you are reliable. The cost of advert at this moment is still cheap and few members could be enough depending on your budget, be careful with forum member with negative trust or low rank and dont exchange fund if they are not well verified.
He isn't looking to spend money to make money (even though he should be), he basically wants you to bring him people to profit off, and then he will cut you into what profits he's making off them, simple referral systems.
579  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Deleting wallet software for more security? on: November 05, 2019, 10:48:26 PM
You'll need 2 things for the paper wallet you are talking about:

1. Addresses (I haven't used greenaddress in a couple of days, but I do believe it's possible to keep 1 address, and it won't delete it or do anything to it, but it'll still generate other addresses (which I would recommend you use so people can't spy on your transactions).

2. Seed/private key, to access to your wallet.

No point deleting, to be honest, you should be fine - but up to you.
580  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Did China Dominate Bitcoin? on: November 05, 2019, 10:25:59 PM
I think the name "Satoshi Nakamoto" peaked the interest of a lot of the Asian people in those countries, because it is a common name there.  Cheesy  So they started to investigate and people were curious to know who it was and how it worked.

The Chinese people have some of the most remarkable "hackers" in the world and they are very smart people. They also like to be at the forefront of new technologies, so they quickly spotted Bitcoin's potential.  Grin
That name isn't very common, it's a pretty rare name in Japan and I don't think a lot of people where named satoshi in Japan. There's actually a pretty cool theory that "Satoshi" is a combination of several big companies and they think engineers/people from them created the crypto-currency.

EG, Samsung + toshiba = Satoshi.

The Bitcoin whitepaper was released in English, how did the Chinese get sointerested ahead of others that they dominate mining of bitcoin?
You dont ask why they still do the mining as much as they do it then? I dont stay in china but the news say electricity is cheaper there. China might look greedy to most people outside Asia but they provide a platform that allows industrialization and innovation to thrive. Am disappointed with the rate of bitcoin export from china also and poverty seem to cause it. However, they still own a large portion of bitcoin.
are you sure that the cost of electricity in China is very cheap?

I read the news, China is getting interested in Bitcoin because the electricity theft rate in their country has increased sharply. their police force found that the electricity thieves built Bitcoin mining, because cases of this kind emerge continuously so their government is paying great attention to Bitcoin, this is the reason why many of the Bitcoin mining is forcibly closed.
Yes. It always has been cheap, but sometimes there are issues with people stealing electricity from companies/government, but that happens anywhere and isn't related to China specifically.
