BISQ succeeded what openbazaar failed but last time i used them exchange was slow and take time to load.
It's much better now than it used to be, but you still need to download software, sync and interface can be improved, so doubt it will ever be super fast.

Is the atomic swaps really decentralized or is it centralized and dependent on a network such as BSC and BUSD.
and other Blockchains will use wrapped coins or real coins?
Binance chain, busd and all similar shenanigans are run like a small cartel of nodes, so it's never going to be truly decentralized, it only have dex sticker.
However, I think that you can exchange some assets with Bitcoin even if those assets are centralized, and I am saying that not as a export on atomic swaps.
Most people probably don't care if something is decentralized or not, as long as that thing works.

Maybe a Forked version like Haveno
This could be interesting and I see they released new website, but it's long road ahead.

I would like to bring in notice that i have been scammed for 230$ on buying the account.
Are you talking about this account emmnazady?
I did notice a lot of changes on BPIP website for his profile, indicating that account probably changed hands maybe even several times.
Instead of wasting money being scammer and risking to lose money, better start fresh and build new account yourself, like most of us did.

Interesting... I guess they'll open lots of channels with lots of nodes? It seems to me that they'll need lot of liquidity.
I don't know exactly how they plan to do this, but it's with using their KYT software I am sure they will connect with all exchanges that accept LN payments.
They are also monitoring many addresses from ofac list, but it's not going to be so easy with lightning network, unless they have some actors inside.

I'm very interested to see what / how they want to try spying into LN.
I a sure they won't tell anyone how they are doing that spying part but I am sure they have huge funding from governments and other big tech corporations.
LN tracking for them is just one small puzzle part in much bigger picture of tracking everyone and everything.

Btw Isn't account email very vulnerable to being hacked and doesn't need to be displayed in your account?
You can't really hack someones account just by knowing his email address, however you can expect to receive more spam and phishing emails.
This member was probably not using only one email address for everything, but this was his public bitcointalk dedicated address.
This account and that his email address are not active for years (since 2014) and everyone have the option to hide or show email address on their profile.

Development of Krux wallet is still active as you can see in github and developer is currently optimizing the code and working on translations with community contributions.
Krux Website is released with detailed step by step installation guide, generating mnemonic, menu navigation, etc. and it's still work in progress:

If it's the only available pair, then only existing Bisq user which could feel the advantage. New user don't really care about consensus on Bisq DAO even though BSQ also can be used to pay trading fee.
Yeah, BSQ token is not available anywhere else except in Bisq exchange, but in reality this is also a Bitcoin that is holding some other value, and looking at explorer it would like a normal bitcoin transaction.
I think that 1 BSQ is 100 sats, but what is interesting is that maybe we could have other colored coins that could be pegged to dollar, gold or any other asset.
This way maybe we don't need to use other stablecoins that are mostly centralized and can be frozen.
5987  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase having technical difficulties on: December 15, 2021, 10:14:58 AM
I saw that something similar happened yesterday with Coinmarketcap website that had to reboot their servers, but I think that Coingecko was not affected at all.
Something strange was also happening with Youtube website in the same time, so this was probably some larger scale problem.
5988  Economy / Exchanges / BISQ exchange adds Atomic Swaps on: December 14, 2021, 05:13:03 PM
BISQ decentralized exchange added interesting new feature of Atomic Swaps starting from version 1.8.0 and this is currently available only for BTC/BSQ swaps.
Bitcoin colored coin stands for BSQ, but in theory Atomic Swaps in Bisq could work with anything else like stablecoins, or any other coins that support atomic swaps.
Swaps are instant, trustless, without risk, they have less fees, and no special Bisq account is required.


https://bisq.wiki/BSQ_swaps

I think it's only a matter of time when other stablecoins and privacy coins will be added for swap option in Bisq and I heard some developers are already working on that.
More people switch to Bisq, less we need to use centralized exchanges.
5989  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance permanently shuts down Singapore operations. on: December 14, 2021, 04:47:56 PM
Nobody cares what CZ and his Binance Titanic exchange is doing, they crossed all the lines when they called for strict global crypto regulations as a way to save their skin and skip any sanctions in future.
We see that centralized exchanges are hacked all the time and it's only a matter of time when this will happen to Binance again, planned or by accidental mistake Wink

5990  Economy / Reputation / Re: Bitcointalk Charity and its funds on: December 14, 2021, 04:35:33 PM
Also good to know: when cabalism13 announced to pull funds out of escrow, 0.55387486BTC worth 18,308.30USD was moved.
This is especially important when we know that 1 Bitcoin was trading around $69k last month.
Now let me play a advocate role here and say that it's nothing strange if they converted Bitcoin to fiat currency to buy groceries and stuff for charity, because most shops don't accept BTC.
All they need is to provide some evidence for spending and converting coins to fiat and all this story would finish quickly.

What made me even more confused is when I saw a post from C13 when he suggested that one gambler addict should send Bitcoins to his ''Charity'' project to solve his gambling addiction, and I don't know how ethical this is, but whatever.
But if you are totally a crazy millionaire, man, I suggest to donate it on my Charity! Just go to Services Section then look for BITCOINTALK CHARITY
Let me finish this by saying this, I think that charity is a wonderful thing and everyone should practice this on personal level as much as he/she can.
It's also obvious that this guys helped some people in the past, I respect that and I hope this situation will be resolved soon.

Oho imamo dobru kripto borbu i dvoboj BitcoinStore vs ElectrocoinŠkorić  Shocked ali ja ostajem neutralan i samo sam objavio informacije koje se mogu protumačiti po želji.

Mogao bi tko reći da je ovo plaćeni post zato jer iznosite (netočne) podatke koji mi ne idu u prilog. Ili zato što se Bitcoin store spominje u naslovu threada, a ostali se ne spominju.
Velika glupost i neistina je na kraju mene optužiti za plaćeni post i naslov, ali nisam ništa više očekivao od tebe Roll Eyes
Zamislite mene koji istovremeno pišem taj post sa naslovom koji sam prvo smislio za nekoliko sekundi a zatim postavljam i Vedranov blog...
Mnogo je logičnije da mi je zapravo Škorić platio da postavim taj Vedranov blog.

Evo računa od današnjeg dana iz In Kapitala i Bitcoin Store poslovnica, pa nek ljudi usporede.
Sve je jasno i neutralno.
Hvala.
5992  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: 🔥Satodime🔥 The bearer chip card to physically gift cryptocurrencies and tokens on: December 14, 2021, 12:27:49 PM
Satochip is proud to release its new product: Satodime.
The bearer chip card that allows you to exchange crypto assets like any banknote. Safely pass it along multiple times thanks the secure chip, unseal anytime with ease. Trustless, easy to verify and completly secure.
I see that price for Satodime is the same as for regular Satochip card, and I am not a fan of Opendime by Coinkite but I believe they are cheaper to purchase.
Bitcoin Crypto Banknotes are a good idea, especially in the time when they announce removal of cash money, but banknotes should be dirt chip to buy in my opinion,  they should even be easy to make as DIY project.

One question for Satodime, what secure element are you using for this Satodime card, same chip NXP J3H145 and J3R110 like for Satochip, or something else?
5993  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Why I wouldn't buy Ledger Nano S ever again? on: December 14, 2021, 12:02:17 PM
Serious thought, Ledger has already made it 100% clear that they don't care about their customers. They are not even trying to hide it. But they are selling a ton of devices. So, the question is WHAT are they doing that other manufacturers are not?
Ledger indeed sold millions of their devices so far, and I tried to find some official information how much devices are sold by other hardware wallet manufacturers.
It's not easy to find exact data and some of them didn't want to reveal this info, but what I know is that Trezor also sold over one million devices, but they made first ever hardware wallet in the word so no wonder.
I think that Ledger have better marketing strategy and they are willing to work with anyone including centralized exchanges like Coinbase,
they probably have better funding, and and they have hidden signed agreements, maybe even with government agencies for spying people.
Ledger is also part of DCG - Digital Currency Group with 165 companies including Chainalysis, Coindesk, etc. so that may be one more reason.

Imagine having to deal with way more faulty features than we're already seeing after each of the updates, on their current line-up... No, thanks Cheesy
Maybe next step from them is to make ledger hardware wallet brain implant, and I am sure that many people would accept this phone/wallet spying nightmare.
Everyone should read latest interview of Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier to see how optimistic and ambitious he is:

Quote
Do you envision the Ledger device evolving into a phone, like the iPhone, that can do a lot of things?

Potentially. And it's a future that Ledger is ready for in the sense that we are developing technology that can be embedded into a phone. But you have to redesign the phone completely. You will have to compromise on some of the phone’s functionality. This is why it's such a challenging problem.

5994  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Nano X Battery Pandemic on: December 14, 2021, 11:28:05 AM
Someone posted in their subreddit yesterday about "not receiving a refund" and despite not having enough details, perhaps it could be counted as a confirmation.
This is just one example and I saw before similar complains being posted on their reddit channel, but refund is still a much better option than asking for device replacement.
It happened many times that customers received faulty device again and they had to pay extra for shipping, that is all well documented in reddit and anyone can find that in reddit history.
5995  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: The Lightning Network FAQ on: December 13, 2021, 01:07:48 PM
I don't know if you heard the news but Chainalysis launches support for Lightning Network after they noticed how LN second layer protocol recently gained more popularity.
Funny thing is how they created censored twitter post not allowing anyone to comment anything on that tweet unless they approved it.
They plan to release Chainalysis KYT software for monitoring Lighting Network transactions, it will show ''risky'' activity and other insights.

5996  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Secure Element in Hardware Wallets on: December 13, 2021, 12:23:34 PM
Trezor releasing their new device with SE in 2022? Any ETA?
Nobody knows exact date and time especially with global chips shortage and problems with supply chain, but it is planned for the end of 2022.
You can follow Trezor Tropic Square for news, and I will probably post any new information I hear in due time here.
Important thing here is that this would be the first open source secure element, without secret NDAs signed.


List is updated and new secure element ST33K1M5C added for ledger Nano S Plus device that is not yet officially released.
I also made separate entries for currently available ledger hardware wallets because they all have different secure elements.
5997  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Why I wouldn't buy Ledger Nano S ever again? on: December 13, 2021, 12:17:48 PM
It's obvious that, like any commercial company, all they care about is to earn money. And forcing their user off an older product in order to make them buy again is... unfortunately too common and Ledger is clearly doing the same.
Nobody is forcing people to switch to new android smarphone devices but many people do it because phones stop working after few years, apps are not supported, etc.
You will notice that Ledger is doing exact same thing, but hardware wallet should not be the same as phones and communication device consumer products.
Ledger can always create new apps that will not be compatible with nano S and that would make it useless.

Also, something you both didn't say (or I've missed) : it also depends on how other software will behave. I mean that unless something fundamental changes or some big flaw is found, I don't see why Electrum wouldn't support the Nano S for many more years after Ledger stops updating it.
Answer to you question would be that you can't really use Electrum wallet now with older ledger devices like Ledger Nano, Ledger Unplugged and Ledger Blue.
On the other hand, first ever hardware wallet device Trezor One is still working just fine with Electrum, so you see the difference.
I am just saying that people who buy ledger nano S device now are basically wasting their money, clear and simple.
5998  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Funds not showing up on: December 13, 2021, 12:02:04 PM
Mine is bc1qx8spcg and the receiving one is bc1qn379, the receiving one is not showing any funds in it.
You can check on blockchain explorer if your receiving address had some outgoing transactions or not, but I hope you do understand that you need to have wallet fully synced to show correct coin balance.
You never said what wallet you used and other members asked you that question previously, is it Electrum or not.
Nobody can help you more if you don't post your full transaction or addresses here.
5999  Other / Archival / Re: Don't send your personal data to anyone in PM on: December 13, 2021, 11:45:59 AM
I never used PrivNote so far, I don't see any activity on their blog and social media accounts since year 2020, and I think there are much better ways of private communication between members.
It's better to use your own direct encryption for bitcointalk messages than some third party website that you need to trust for encryption.
However, I do think it would be evry interesting if theymos would add option for self-destructing PMs and some privacy options, but this is probably just my sci-fi dream Wink

Gospon Vedran Mijatović autor članka zna zašto to nije usporedio.
Vi to možda implicirate da je InKapital ili možda Electrocoin Škorić platio ovaj članak Smiley?

Znam da ima nekih nelogičnosti u tom članku zato sam i postavio infiormaciju na forumu, a istina je da bi se to moglo biti učiniti mnogo bolje.
Eto i dobro sugestije za jedan novi neutralni i neplaćeni test ako ima zainteresiranih.

PS
Pitanje za Bitcoin Store:
- Kakvi su vaši Limiti i Ograničenja (nedostaje mi ta informaciju u tablici)?
