I remember using a platform that allows you to use demo-trading/backtest without registering an account with e-mail etc, or use a fake e-mail that doesn't require any confirmation. Does anyone recall such a platform? I can't remember the name. This could be a good alternative for OP if they don't want to use their e-mail just for testing purposes since it can easily get spammed or sold to some data market by the platform he uses.

I don't think you can do much other than continuously sending e-mails or tickets so that they will bump the fees. Your stuck transaction is likely because the network is congested and Shoppy uses a very low fee. If they still don't respond you can consider making a new thread instead of bumping this one. Judging from OP's story, there is little chance they will respond and you'll likely end up waiting for the network to be free instead.

Unfortunately, some people never learn, sometimes the expert also fails to notice such an obvious scam. While it is the best protection, domain registrars should also improve their filtering method if that is possible. At least Namecheap improves their response time so they can take down domains like this asap, although scammers can easily move to other friendly hosting for their purpose. Personally, I use DNS encryption with a phishing block list to help avoid websites like this.

You can find their registration details here[1]. It seems like they registered another company as a proxy to manage their activities. Judging from their address, this is definitely another shell company that hides their location and activity like other shady businesses on the market. Their proxy seems to be Maidstar Holding Limited[2]. CMIIW.

I don't think the market for DEX will vanish even if CEX implements most of its features. Unless CEX somehow allows non-KYC/registered users to trade or replicate the DEX login-less feature (only using a web3 app like Metamask), DEX will still exist. If that does happen though, it will be interesting to see how long it will last, unless they are registered in some obscure location that has no laws (which is likely a scam anyway).

Personally, giving up personal information is one of the key reasons why I find using a new CEX a terrible alternative if one of my main liquidation methods/trading platforms breaks. I'd still use DEX or P2P even if most of the features I need are provided by the new exchange.

Here's the thing, Bitcoin is not a centralized orgs, if some people think coinjoin or mixer is not enough they'd definitely build their own solution for privacy issues. I'm pretty sure some are already doing that, so you don't have to worry about the lack of innovation related to privacy tools. At the same time, there's no way to force all communities to focus on this topic since not everyone feels the urgency to improve the layer of privacy. I'd argue the average joe probably doesn't care about it, and some developers probably think other issues are more important (scalability issues etc).

I second the opinion that you don't need that many tools to monitor SEO. I used to dabble in blogging in the past, and I recall that one tool can do many things related to SEO from keyword search to article structuring, etc. If you need 10 tools to manage your SEO, are you sure you're not using a terrible one? Even if you need to pay for their pro tier or whatever they called it, most of the time they offer more than just one thing to fulfill your needs.

I guess so, but the context is really different iirc. There's no urgency in confiscating people's crypto compared to the gold crisis. While USA's debt keeps increasing, I don't think they are desperate to find ways to pay it. CMIIW.

Sometimes I feel lucky I don't live in the US. My country's regulation for crypto tax is quite lax. While it is possible to change them, I doubt they'd be as aggressive as the US considering how niche the market is. Even if it becomes more mainstream, other sources of taxes are more abundant and easily accessible for the government as of now.

Are you sure it is because you make transactions on Binance? According to their faqs, they do allow transactions from a platform that deals with crypto as long as it is registered in the UK [1]. If you successfully appeal your ban, maybe stick with a locally registered platform for crypto transaction in the future.

Doesn't developmental discussion already happen on this forum tho? Or are you suggesting that developers should make a forum account and post regularly here?

I'm not familiar with how they are discussing with each other, but is the mailing list their only communication channel? I recall seeing GitHub discussion and other channels being used, albeit not as much as the mailing list I suppose.

Btw, if the goal is to provide an alternative, why don't you continue suggesting it on that thread? I don't see the need to make a new one just to suggest migrating to Bitcointalk since that topic is titled "Mailing list migration" to begin with.

Btw, kata Microsoft grup hacker Korea Utara sedang berusaha untuk melakukan serangan baru di jaringan sosial LinkedIn untuk menyerang mereka yang bekerja di perusahaan" kripto. Model serangannya mengirimkan malware lewat fitur messaging di media sosial yang dijadikan platform serangan[1]. Agak unik juga karena targetnya dikhususkan ke pekerja perusahaan kripto, walau ane yakin model serangan ini bisa digunakan juga untuk user lain atau bahkan di platform lain. Kalau agan punya akun sosmed, jangan lupa buat blokir dan hindari klik file" aneh dari user yang ga dikenal.

Kalau agan berbicara pemilihan koin, mungkin lebih tepat meletakkan thread ini di altcoin. Khususnya kalau agan berbicara tentang hosting yang ane rasa tidak mungkin bisa membantu penambangan Bitcoin, misalnya cloud mining dst.

Tapi ya balik lagi, masalah profit ini hubungannya dengan biaya penambangan. Selama biaya penambangan lebih rendah dari hasil tambang dan waktu buat balik modal relatif cepat, orang pasti bakal melakukan penambangan kalau bisa melakukannya. Mencari sumber energi adalah masalah yang paling susah kalau ane lihat, khususnya kalau agan tidak bisa pindah lokasi/negara dan semacamnya.

Jadiin pelajaran aja gan, paling ngga agan ga beli yang ada di tier dibawahnya. Tapi ane cek di footnotenya seperti minor issuesnya ga dijelasin lebih lanjut ya? Ane browsing" sekilas masalah yang kelihatan secara umum adalah umur yang lebih pendek. Mungkin bisa nabung mulai sekarang gan buat ngeganti kalau udah cukup berumur, atau sekalian coba ditukar ditokonya aja kalau bisa.

Seingat ane sudah pernah ada thread khusus berkaitan dengan lending di sub-board ini. Sudah sering juga member bikin thread untuk nyari pinjaman ataupun memberi pinjaman ke member lain, jadi ane rasa sudah berjalan cukup baik. Mungkin karena jarang aja (atau pada main ke sub-board lending langsung) jadi kesannya ga ada aktivitias pinjam-meminjam di sini.

Btw ane rasa agak naif kalau menggunakan platform pihak ketiga yang tidak bisa diawasi kalau ingin melakukan aktivitas lending P2P seperti exchange. Mending manfaating escrow saja atau multi-sig. Plus pakai jaminan juga untuk menghindari scam, kecuali user yang jadi peminjam udah punya reputasi di forum mungkin bisa lebih ringan. Tapi balik lagi tiap orang bebas mau menggunakan kesepakatan seperti apa.

Kalau kenyataannya begitu apa bukan masalah dari pemerintah juga yang tidak memiliki arahan khusus pada lembaga edukasi untuk menyediakan kurikulum khusus terkait blockchain? Bisa juga memang kebutuhan pasar tentang gelar khusus blockchain dkk di Indo sedikit dan bisa dimasuki lulusan dari jurusan lain sesuai kebutuhannya (marketing, manajer, programmer dst).

I think someone will definitely develop that if the network is continuously unsuitable for them. I'm pretty sure past discussions also discuss this. At the end of the day, it is an open-source project and anyone can develop a side-chain to fit their needs. Altcoins already do this with their layer 2 or whatever they want to call it.

Is this even legal? What's the prerequisite before they confiscate your coins? It would be disastrous if a random person can get thrown in jail just because they have money. Won't this just make people go underground and make it harder for them to track their activities too?

Damn, that's unfortunate. Have you reported him to the police? You should be able to do that right? Considering that she knows his face and probably his name too. If the police are quick, they should be able to track him down if he's still in your country. If not, then I guess you can still rely on the Interpol.
