7141  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Brazilian Congressman proposes Crypto Payment for workers on: November 08, 2021, 01:36:37 PM
I keep wondering how is the situation of retirement pension deductions, life insurance, how will the person make a loan at the bank?
The coins can always be exchanged for fiat and deposited back into the bank on a monthly basis. In agreement with the bank of course. You can always mortgage your home if you own your own estate. Another option would be to take out a loan in fiat by depositing crypto as your collateral.

You have raised a good point but I think when Bitcoin will be accepted as a legal tender in any country  the Banks of the country will certainly come up by introducing new products in crypto likewise Fixed Deposits, Loans and many many mores to address all above issues raised in your post.
But the bill does not foresee that Bitcoin is accepted as legal tender. It just gives Brazilian citizens an option to be paid a certain percentage of their wages in crypto. That doesn't turn Brazil into El Salvador though.

The question about creating one or two threads has been solved, so no need to discuss that any further.

But you could ask the applicants to post their rates. Their expectations on an hourly basis or per project. It might help your client save some time. I assume there is a budget in place and he can't spend more (or much more) than he intended.
Money is often the deciding factor. Both sides would benefit if they knew what the position pays and what the developer expects to earn.

I would vote to get rid of the "I was messaged on telegram by so and so scammer" or "YouTube giveaway scam", posts as they are generic...
I am not a frequent visitor of the scam accusations board but I wouldn't vote for getting rid of anything there. Sure, it might sometimes be repetitive, but since the forum has a "we don't moderate scams" policy, I would support any threads and boards where people are made aware of them. 

Most people on here would be pretty used to such scam techniques...
There are still way to many people who believe that Elon will send them 2 BTC if they send him 1.

...and should ideally follow the reporting format which is stickied on that board.
Few people do unfortunately.
7144  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcointalk Youtube channel - what would you like to see? on: November 08, 2021, 08:24:43 AM
What do you think Cyrus (and remaining community of course) of having a voluntary group within bitcointalk that would make subtitles for the videos?
It would certainly help the viewers who aren't proficient in English. I think it's a good idea to keep that as an option for later. Once the first 1 or 2 videos are aired, we will see how many views, comments, and subscribers there are. Based on that, we will get some stats of how the community responds to the work. If the reach is really bad, like 100 or less views within the first couple of weeks (which I am hoping won't be the case), creating subtitles for multiple languages might not make that much sense.   

What kind of stats are available to channel owners on YouTube? Can they, for example, see which countries the viewers come from? As a percentage or total count? If that is possible, Cyrus would have some info about which regions are mostly watching and he could focus on those languages first if your idea is approved.

as the january transfer window are near and eden hazard could be a real boosting if they did really make it happened moreover...
That fat fuck isn't going to bring anything good to the team. He stopped playing football and focusing on his career when he left England and signed the contract of his dreams. Just recently I read that they are looking towards Sergio Ramos who is totally out of form and without any match fitness at PSG. Not to mention the injuries since leaving Real. Hopefully, that's just speculation. Signing the likes of those two is a waste of money that can be better spent elsewhere.

In 30 minutes Inter-Milan, if Inter will win the league will be reopened for them since they will earn points versus Napoli and Milan both.
Just like last season, I see Inter as the better team than Milan. But it will be interesting to see Inter go head to head versus Napoli. I am not sure who will come on top in that duel.

Jel koristiš stranicu?
Imam druge načine na koje gledam serije i filmove pa nisam ovu uslugu nikad koristio osim početnih nekih testiranja.

*prosječna kvaliteta slike i zvuka
I jedno i drugo je OK za ono malo što sam nasumično otvarao i gledao. Nisam ljubitelj serija i filmova preko laptopa. Više volim da se izvalim na kauč i pustim sebi na TVu. Ali ko to ne može u datom trenutku, ovako nešto može poslužiti.

*da li koči ponekad ili stream uvijek radi dobro
Premalo sam koristio da bi mogao odgovoriti, sorry.

*da li ima aplikacija za smart TV
Mislim da nema.

Imam već dosta tih streaming sadržaja koje plaćam ali su barem s tehničke strane više manje perfektni pa mi se ne da zezati s nečime ako nije bar usporedivo. S druge strane poklonjenom konju se ne gleda u zube pa sam siguran da će biti jako korisno mnogim članovima našeg lokala.
Ne može se sigurno uporediti sa vrhunskim platformama koje se plačaju. Ipak, ovo je free usluga.

Cisto iz znatizelje sam isao malo provjeriti i na koji god film da kliknem, dobijem 404 error.
Da, taćno. Sad i ja to vidim. Izgleda da je u toku neko ažuriranje sustava jer se u gornjem desnom uglu pojavi obavijest: "We are updating and upgrading our system."
7147  Economy / Gambling / Re: If your games aren't provably fair, stop claiming they are. on: November 08, 2021, 07:37:46 AM
Only problem here is that not all players have the technical skills or are technical enough to know which casinos are genuine with their claims and which aren't.
I know, that's why threads like this one are important. There are also other resources on the world wide web that will teach you how to check whether a game really is provably fair or it isn't.

I see the provably fair as a motto on almost all crypto casinos.
That's why I said that it's a buzz word in my previous post. Don't trust what the casino says but verify it yourself. Or better yet, stick with proven platforms and don't be lured by the promises and bonuses that new sites will give you to get you to deposit into their accounts.
7148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 07, 2021, 12:05:39 PM
it is indeed looks really impossible to reach , but it's juventus ... things get strange when its involved juventus ,
This time around and with this squad I think it's safe to say that Juventus doesn't have what it takes to end at the top. Qualification for the Champions League is the maximum they can hope for this season.

Very hard game for Juve but even at the last minute (what a great goal that was!) gets the win that so badly needs it.
Cuadrado really was lucky to hit it the way he did from that angle. And if you watch the replays, the ball just slightly bounced off the foot of a Fiorentina defender to go past the goalkeeper. Maybe if it wasn't for that touch, he would have shot straight at the keeper.
7149  Local / Off-topic (Hrvatski) / Re: Kutak za kulturni trenutak on: November 07, 2021, 11:43:22 AM
Trenutno gledam njemačku seriju Babylon Berlin.
Radnja serije je smještena između dva svjetska rata u Berlinu. Ko voli političke drame, nek pokuša. Serija je na Njemačkom.

Mislim da sam već predlagao da bookmarkujete ovu stranicu https://theflix.to/.
Streaming usluga za serije i filmove koju je neki korisnik sa foruma pokrenuo. Može se naći svega...

Read this (https://tor.stackexchange.com/a/114) and make your own conclusion. As for me, i would worry about something else.
Good source, thank you.

I did find some parts in that discussion quite interesting. For example, here is a quote from one of the replies:
Quote
Some exit relays are considered as bad exits. They might listen in your traffic, change your traffic etc. Tor does not choose them (as long as you don't explicitly allow it).
How would TOR know that some exit nodes are "bad" and have ways to monitor or manipulate the traffic routed through them? And if they have such knowledge, why are those nodes not removed and blacklisted?

I find this segment interesting as well:
Quote
Operators who run more than one relay should declare those relays their 'family' (There is a special option in the configuration). Tor doesn't choose more then one relay from a family.
The emphasis is on "should". They didn't say "must" or "have to", but you have the option to do it or not.

Nothing of the above seems worrying to me either, but still interesting to think about... 
7152  Economy / Gambling / Re: If your games aren't provably fair, stop claiming they are. on: November 07, 2021, 09:26:55 AM
Provably Fair is a buzz word. It's thrown around like other buzz words such as fully decentralized, anonymous, private, etc. The sites are just telling you what you want to hear. They know that the majority won't know the difference, or have the time and patience to research it themselves. Therefore, I don't think such claims will stop. They will keep making their rounds and get even worse.

The best thing to do is expose those who are lying and giving players the tools to check such claims themselves.

I lost everything. All coins and all my savings.
...
It all started with discovering the futures market. High leverages!
That sounded interesting: Earn at high more than 10x more.
I hope your negative experience won't prevent you from trying crypto again, but being a bit smarter with the decisions you make. You also shouldn't blame the market for experimenting with trading strategies you never should have touched in the first place.

This thread of yours reminded me of something I wrote a few months ago, especially the last case with the rapper KSI: What Can Happen If You Want to Trade Cryptocurrencies, but You Don’t Know How?
7154  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Quick question re Paypal on: November 07, 2021, 09:07:35 AM
No, he can't. PayPal cryptocurrencies are only available to customers with personal PayPal accounts in the US (except Hawaii). [source] But, even in that case, PayPal can only be used for buying, selling and holding crypto within a PayPal account. You cannot deposit crypto from an external wallet into a PayPal account, or vice versa.
That's true. Although it has been reported that Paypal accounts will have an option to withdraw their "coins" to private wallets, I think it's still not possible. According to their crypto TOS, you still can't send coins to other accounts or withdraw them from your cryptocurrency hub.


@Montane
Although PayPal does deal with Bitcoin in a way, I don't think you are supposed to use your account to make such deals on your own. What I am trying to say is that you aren't allowed to accept fiat by selling BTC to someone and vice versa. But you are allowed to use their cryptocurrency hub and buy crypto if you are located in a legal jurisdiction. If you aren't, you can't. I am pretty sure if you do the first thing I mentioned, you are in breech of their TOS.

There are many great forum references when it comes to the Lightning Network. Here are just some of them that you can take a look at:

Basics of the Lightning Network

7156  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Wallet or Exchange? on: November 07, 2021, 08:40:46 AM
There is some wallet that is open-source, good for buying/selling of coins and tokens. It is easy to use but with minimum security and you won't have a problem using it if you prevent human error though. An example is Trust wallet.
A software wallet can't be compared with a hardware wallet in terms of security. The hardware wallet will always come on top. Since you mentioned Ledger, that one is very easy to use and set up. Hardware wallets aren't meant to target tech geeks, but the regular Joe looking for a safer way to store his private keys than in a hot wallet.

We have some with good security but can only take a few sets of coins/tokens, not that easy to use due to security priority but you still need to prevent human error though. Ledger wallet
Bother Ledger and Trezor support 100s of coins and tokens including various ERC-20 tokens. Some natively, others by connecting 3rd-party wallets. There is no difference in the number of assets a Nano S and Nano X supports, only a difference in the internal storage of the device. But you can use the same coins on either one. With Trezor, it's a bit different. The Trezor T and Trezor One don't necessarily support the same assets. Monero is a good example. The Model T supports it, while Trezor One doesn't. for example.

I like binance because security it provides to my coin and fee is reasonable unless you don't go out of binance network. I keep some of my coins in electrum wallet but I remain worry about there security all the time.
You are comfortable with keeping your coins in someone else's wallet (that of Binance) but you don't entirely trust the security of Electrum? Electrum (hot wallet) is as safe as the system you run it on. If you are a cautious and security-conscious individual with a clean OS, you have nothing to worry about. If your system is vulnerable and full of malware, that is your fault, not that of Electrum.

But, they can't read the message if it's an onion service. Yeah, they may know you're using Tor and that you're also visiting a block explorer, but they can't know what you're viewing. This is only known by the one who runs the onion service. So, unless every Tor node is a honeypot AND the block explorer is ran by surveillance agencies, you're fine.
Every TOR node doesn't need to be, but a few of them could. They could also be getting data from certain block explorers who would gladly sell it to them or hand it over for free depending on their agreement.

Tor obfuscates your entry and exit point to the network. Your exit node can only track you if they are also controlling your entry node and can link your entry and exit traffic between the two nodes, effectively mounting a Sybil attack.
Is this a risk worth thinking about? How many entry and exit node combinations exist on the TOR network? Do the numbers change and increase regularly or are they more or less the same for years?

[before anyone calls me crazy, physical self-defense is legal in (almost??) all jurisdictions]
Based on your recommendation of acquiring an assault rifle, I think it's fair to conclude that you are an American. Grin

Different countries and different laws.
There are regions in this godforsaken planet where you aren't allowed to tie someone up, pin him down, or arrest him until the police arrives. Once they come, he will be charged with whatever it is that he did and you will pay a fine for illegally detaining an individual. Or worse, depending on what you did to him. After all, he has rights. Those rights include robing you or hurting your family. You aren't allowed to take his constitutional rights away from him because that hurts his feelings and makes him sad.

decodx was close, but "blockchain validator" was the term I was searching for.

That's it from this round. Five rounds are gone, 5 to go.
For the upcoming two rounds, I am going to go back to the original rules where I will give members ranked Newbie - Member one day's head start to guess the terms. After that, everyone else can chip in.

If a rich man gets robbed and claims he has nothing (or hands over a wallet with $5 in it), he will continue getting tortured until he gives the 'real wallet'.
No one should know you are rich and you shouldn't look and act rich. That's the easiest way to stay under the radar. If you walk around town like a pimp in shinny clothes and a golden cane, people will start asking questions. 

Should be similar with Bitcoin robberies, I think. But if he can provide a wallet with a non-negligible amount, which is though still much less than his entire savings, that could save him.
Ledger and Trezor call that plausible deniability. If the thief doesn't know exactly what you have, you give him access to a wallet that holds enough coins to satisfy him. He can't know that you have other funds protected by passphrases unless you or someone else told him about it.
