Czy to już się udało zrobić?

Nie napisał tego, ale wg historii postów - tak; dwa miesiące później bitcoiny z adresu, który wymienił zostały wysłane na inny adres.

I think they should know better than random people on a discussion forum why coins you have bought aren't showing up.

My wild guess: source merit allocation will take into account the amount of users a given source merit has merited in the last ~6 months, and perhaps it will also take into account the variety of boards of the merited posts.

My imagination was that they get paid weekly or monthly basis a fixed salary. I had no idea that things could work like this. Good to hear the information and it seems a win-win position for both sides :-D
As a general disclaimer, don't get it in your head that moderation is a good 'job' (similarly to signature campaigns). One should look at it like heightened volunteer work with a small financial incentive: you're not moderating for the money, you're doing it to clear the forum of spam.

Correct, it's a volunteer position first and foremost. Moderators also weren't paid anything at all before ~mid-2013.

Taking more than a week to respond isn't unusual, but in any case...

Lawyer up. This is a life-changing amount of bitcoins. If they are not responding, consider making noise all over twitter, reddit and elsewhere, too, unless you have reasons to believe making noise could hurt your case (usually it's the other way around). You can also buy ads on bitcointalk, denouncing BitMEX as a scam, or pay people to wear appropriate signatures.

747  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance: accusations of insider trading on: June 02, 2020, 01:11:58 AM
To be honest, Binance is so large and there are so many employees involved in these things that it's very difficult to stop insider tracking.

But either way, it's not illegal since they're not dealing with securities. Technically they can trade before announcement as much as they want and there will be no repurcussions—other than the knock to their reputation.

I think it'd be better if they just said it upfront that they reserve the right to invest in projects they believe in, and that neither will they prevent employees from investing. The news will spread at a faster rate compared with a scenario when they try to limit the flow of information, and the profits from the price pumping will be divided among a greater number of people (profits per person should also be lower too in such a case).

It would be extremely difficult to prove it wasn't just some pump/dump group though.

Only if one wants to prove beyond any doubt.

Cześć,

We're also suffering from shitty politics, the current allegedly right-wing governing party — PiS, Prawo i Sprawiedliwość or Law and Justice — has suspiciously a lot in common with PZPR, Polish United Worker's Party, and has got nothing to do with what one would think that they should be standing for: law and justice. I hope we will succeed in getting rid of their puppet of a president this year because parliamentary elections are over three years from now.

1. They don't differ much in this regard, the biggest difference between bigger (and mid-sized) cities and smaller ones is that the latter usually don't have any Bitcoin ATMs or Bitcoin/blockchain/cryptocurrency-related meetups if that's your thing.
2. Warsaw and Kraków are the biggest cities (still tiny compared to a megacity such as Moscow) and also the most cosmopolitan ones (but nowhere near as much compared to places like Paris or London, though), although other major cities such as Tricity, Łódź, Wrocław and Poznań are also OK.
3. Depends on the bank, some don't deal with foreigners (especially non-EU) and/or non-residents, some do. Should you decide to move here legally getting a bank account wouldn't be a problem. Selling/buying cryptocurrencies for private purpose isn't usually a problem, but things get trickier if you want to sell or buy cryptocurrencies in the course of running a business, depending on the nature of the business many banks can be picky.
4. Generally speaking, nowadays it's very safe for everyone, cryptopeople or not.

That's kinda weird. I mean, exchanges would likely have their name printed on the bank account that they use to transfer the funds so I bet they'll know asap if any tx happens. Unless they hide it somehow. Never tried Transferwise for crypto myself as it's too risky for me. I'd rather stick with their official standing and won't use them for crypto though.

Bitfinex used to do that when they had troubles with their banks, wouldn't be surprised if other exchanges also improvised like that to stay afloat.

They should have publish a notifications about this before they start bombarding users with the questions. It would be terrible if the users lost their money because they failed to provide the answer.

It's a common practice, unfortunately.

Which services even still accept zero confirmation transactions? Is their software "smart" enough to look back and see an RBF enabled transaction somewhere in a chain of unconfirmed transactions? To be fair, even if all the transactions in the chain are not RBF enabled, it is still unsafe to accept them due to transaction malleability - the hash of a parent transaction could be changed after being broadcast but before being mined, rendering all subsequent transactions invalid.

Bustabit and bustadice are probably the most known services still accepting 0-confirmation transactions (for a 1% fee), but from what I've seen it's essentially non-gameable unless someone is a large enough miner, but in that case disallowing of the pre-crediting of 0-confirmation transactions above a certain threshold should suffice.

I also know of two local places selling phone top-up codes which accept 0-conf transactions (they're even selling at a discount).
751  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance: accusations of insider trading on: May 30, 2020, 05:31:17 AM
- Binance implemented tough trade restrictions on its employees to discourage insider trading.

Unless they limit which employees get to learn of interesting things ahead of the rest of the market, these restrictions can be easily bypassed by having friends or family members buy or sell at the right time.

To dodatkowo od kilku dni pokazywały się komentarze, że źle zaczyna się dziać w Rosji, no i mamy, już wstępne potwierdzenie, że chcą zbanować krypto na terenie swojego państwa.

Niesamowite kary więzienia i potężnych grzywien za używanie kryptowalut, od 7000$ wzwyż i nawet 7 lat więzienia!!!

W Rosji to na razie tylko taki pomysł na skutek prawdopodobnei wewnętrznych tarć, w najgorszym przypadku będzie to martwe prawo do legitymizacji usuwania niewygodnych osób.

Ja już dawno przestałem wierzyć w to, że bitcoin pokona system i będzie walutą ludu. Nie zmienia to faktu, że może pozostać elementem ucieczki z systemu częścią kapitału.

Wynika z tego, że władza nie musi sie bać o utratę władzy, bo nad pionkami zawsze miała i mieć będzie a nad sprytną elitą nigdy nie miała i mieć nie będzie.

Nigdy nie było zamierzeniem Bitcoina, aby zbawiać świat, to że niektórzy mają lub mieli duże ambicje to inna sprawa.

Yes, but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years.

Dla mnie jednak sprawa nie jest tak oczywista, bo są kraje które się wyłamują, są też kraje, dla których kryptowaluty stają się elementem strategicznym. Iran podobno kopie na potęgę i z tego co czytałem parę dni temu, to ma mieć specjalne ?ministerstwo? od tego, a wszystko po to by łatwiej obchodzić sankcje USA. Może się okazać, że świat jaki znamy pod wpływem napięć USA/Chiny, recesji pokoronawirusowej (a raczej dekad obecnego systemu) rozdzieli się na 2 sekcje:
USA i koledzy - za bitcoina wsadzający do więzienia, a kraje które na niego zazwalają dostają sankcje
Iran, chiny i koledzy - dla których bitcoin będzie legalny

Albo jeszcze inaczej. Obie sekcje będą kopały btc by pod stołem handlować a na stole zaostrzać sankcje.

Jak w USA znowu Demokraci będą rządzić to relacje z Iranem się polepszą i spadnie atrakcyjność BTC jako narzędzia do unikania sankcji. Może sam Iran zacznie zwalczać z BTC, za odpowiednią zachęta USA/FATF/itp. Póki co tylko ścigają kopalnie nielegalnie korzystające z subsydiowanego prądu, ale nawet bez subsydiów mają relatywnie tani prąd, choć po halvingu gorzej to wygląda przy obecnym kursie.
753  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-05-16] Pine64 Drops BitPay Before First Bitcoin Payment on: May 29, 2020, 11:19:22 PM
Unless it is a big amount to donate, maybe something >$5k, to suspect a money laundering?, I don't see honesty why should anyone give his full identity for 10 bucks! This is ridiculous.

They're collecting information, the more the merrier I guess. They don't require any dox when sending such paltry amounts of money, though, so you can write whatever you want in those fields.

The fee, however, is almost 16%! It's seems like it's a fixed fee ~$1.50 so not as bad when sending more but still, I thought the common practice was to charge the merchant (I complained in the past about a high fee for being unwilling to use BCH so I shouldn't be surprised...).
754  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-05-16] Pine64 Drops BitPay Before First Bitcoin Payment on: May 29, 2020, 10:49:52 PM
I'm surprised that a lot of users are already recommending PINE64 BTCPay as an altnernative for Bitpay. This says a lot on how the users are expressing their anger against Bitpay since they are recommending a complete opposite of it with BTCpay they have no KYCs, no fees, and the bad thing is the business will receive the payment as BTC which PINE64 may not like that's why they are trying to introduce Bitpay in their product. It might be a relief for consumers that PINE64 let their voices be heard but I doubt BTCpay will be their second option.

I'm not too surprised, people are vocal because they got burned or had other negative experiences with them. I looked into donating to Wikipedia the other day, not only is the donation page buried pretty deeply, deeply enough for many people to miss it, but BitPay also requires an email address, a full name, and a full address.

755  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Poll - How did you find out about Bitcointalk? on: May 29, 2020, 01:48:36 AM
I think I saw a link somewhere to forum.bitcoin.org (old domain), aside from some freenode IRC channels it was the most important place to come for Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related discussions, reddit / /r/Bitcoin weren't as huge as they are now.
756  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Hardware wallets... on: May 27, 2020, 05:36:47 AM
I have a Trezor 1 and a Ledger Nano S.

The Ledger has been abandoned. There's something about the way they operate I dislike. In this game you should be humble and open and they certainly are not. Trezor's attitude is better and more communicative so they're the ones I stick with.

I am starting to wonder about the future of hardware wallets, more holes are found every day, but since all current ones need physical access to exploit I'm not going to sweat it until that changes.

Ledger is a much bigger company which I think influences how it's ran compared to Satoshilabs.


If someone owns a lot of different altcoins Ledger supports more than Trezor.

Trezor T supports 1392 different coins and tokens: https://trezor.io/coins/

Couldn't find any up-to-date information regarding the number of supported assets by Ledger.

One of the negative points for Ledger is the Secure Element chip not open source

For now, Ledger is definitely at an advantage because there is no such vulnerability - if there was one, Trezor would surely make it public. But what some people don't like about Ledger is the fact that it's not open source, for which Ledger again gives somewhat logical reasons.

I think the nodes' networks tab is much more interesting:



So many nodes are on major hosting companies' networks. I wonder if it's any different with Bitcoin nodes running over Tor (is there hopefully more variety in ASes and are residential IP addresses more common or not).
758  Economy / Gambling / Re: bustabit – The original crash game on: May 27, 2020, 04:25:08 AM
I think ~25 sats would have been very difficult to withdraw since it would have taken a lot of hours but that is probably bare minimum without failing to go, like 2 days to go type of situation. However 182 was the norm, yesterday I did with 163 sats and it worked with like 3 hours or so, still not fast but that was the cheapest I could find with enough time to wait before I go to bed so that is what I did. At the end of the day you could basically use anything above 30sat/byte and you will get it so its kind of makes sense.

If you check bitcoin fee on those fee calculations website you will realize that the difference is that big in there as well, there is a huge difference between "I am willing to wait 24 hours" and "I want it in 20 minutes" levels, like 30 sats to 300 sats type of huge difference.

It was a deposit, not a withdrawal, but it didn't actually take very long for the transaction to confirm, less than an hour, actually.

759  Economy / Gambling / Re: bustadice – Next Generation Dice on: May 26, 2020, 06:29:38 PM
I noticed a minor bug: at my deposit ETA page the recommended fee alternates between 24.82 sat/vB and 182.03 sat/vB as I refresh the page (not on every refresh page, though).

edit:
The estimates on the /deposit-eta page rely on Blockstream's API. It looks like this is a bug or caching issue on their side.
760  Economy / Gambling / Re: bustabit – The original crash game on: May 26, 2020, 04:26:56 AM
Now this is just a wild guess, but at least with Bustadice the fees are recalculated regularly (every minute?), and depending on the load of the network, sometimes higher and sometimes lower.
What speaks against this being the case for you is the big difference between the calculated fees. The differences are usually much smaller, there are often only a few sats if, for example, you have the widhdrawal page open for a longer time and only perform the widhdrawal after 5 minutes.

No, that's not it, I had the estimations change within literally two seconds so it looks like it's a bug.

But I posted in the wrong thread, meant to post in the bustadice thread (although it's possible that the same would happen on bustabit, too, seeing how both sites are similar in many ways).
