Even if they release a detailed guideline to define what is security and what isn't, isn't it possible that the judges will disagree with their definition too? Maybe someone will definitely bring it to court if the SEC defines security too broadly, but it won't stop the SEC from fining anyone especially those who have no money to defend themselves.

Are you referring to those self-reported figures or just the number of whales in general? Or are you referring to the privacy risk associated with it? If you're just a regular trader I don't think you need to worry that much. Most of these addresses are trackable and it doesn't take a lot of time to consolidate which address is owned by whom as long as you have enough data. Most of them are exchanges or organizations that can be tracked easily imo. If you never use centralized exchange or if you mix your coins/use coinjoin then it should add another layer of privacy to protect your identity. But then again it doesn't matter if you willingly give your details to somebody else including which addresses you own, etc.

This is exclusive to local residents though. You'll have to pay at least 240 euros if you want to participate if you're the average joe. Not sure if that's worth the money since the next level costs four times as much. I guess the VIP label is really expensive for a conference like this. I can't check anything on their Twitter since I don't have an account, but it seems like the organizer is called Free Madeira. Their sponsors are also unknown to me. I'd say better wait and see before buying anything.

I'm not an expert on law by any means, but as far as I can remember some laws do change and a new president can introduce change or stop legislation from being enforced, as long as all involved bodies agree of course. Not sure if that will happen since most countries would likely want to tax crypto as aggressively as possible. AFAIK in my country any crypto transaction is taxed regardless of the volume, but you can still do P2P with no trouble. It is better for me since it allows me to pay less tax compared to before, although it doesn't contribute anything to privacy or data security at all.

Mungkin maksudnya adalah memastikan kalau data di cache spyware atau malware (kalau ada) bakal terhapus setelah restart dan tidak jalan otomatis pasca restart. Walau balik lagi ini ane rasa tidak bisa mengatasi kalau malware yang ada tetap menyimpan data mau agan offline atau online sekalipun. Bisa lebih efisien juga sekalian menggunakan Electrum di device lain saja kalau memang setakut itu device hariannya terkena malware imo.

Ane rasa ini salah satu kecerdasannya satoshi, bisa juga karena idealismenya sangat kuat sehingga dari awal tidak ada niat menggunakan koin tersebut selain hanya untuk proof kalau konsepnya jalan. Ane rasa kecil juga kemungkinan dia jadi makelar harga, toh ane ga melihat dia sebagai orang yang ada interest ke sana. Tapi ya balik lagi bisa aja dia emang udah ga ada duluan dan ga tahu kalau koinnya sekarang berharga puluhan ribu dolar. Bisa juga dia punya wallet lain yang ga diketahui publik itu miliknya karena benar-benar fresh mining dari awal lagi setelah networknya berkembang. Intinya banyak skenario yang mungkin terjadi seperti disebutkan agan-agan di atas.

Iya ane paham gan, makanya ane bilang "Ane kurang familiar dengan emulator yang ada di Windows".

Eniwei, berikut beberapa berita terkait keamanan, malware, dst terbaru yang ane rasa cukup menarik:
1. Salah satu grup hacker berhasil mengirimkan malware yang menyerupai Telegram dan Signal di Play Store[1]. Sebenarnya bukan hal baru lagi, jangan lupa verifikasi kalau agan mau download aplikasi baik di store official sekalipun. Kalau agan download aplikasi palsu semacam ini, ada banyak hal yang bisa dicuri dari agan. Mulai dari riwayat pesan, telepon, foto yang ada di HP, dst.
2. Banyaknya berita data breach di berbagai perusahaan seperti Paramount mengingatkan kita supaya selalu hati-hati dan jangan menggunakan data yang sama di berbagai website[2]. Menggunakan password manager seperti KeePass bakal memudahkan agan untuk melakukan hal tersebut. Tentunya jangan asal ngisi data pribadi di berbagai tempat juga.
3. Ekstensi Chrome yang bisa mencuri password plaintext dari berbagai situs website juga barusan dirilis[3] oleh salah satu tim peneliti keamanan di luar sana. Bukan hal baru juga ada yang maling passowrd, yang jelas variasinya makin semakin banyak. Jangan asal install ekstensi dan kalau bisa verifikasi sebelum install. Lebih baik lagi mungkin mengurangi ekstensi di browser utama agan dan gunakan browser lain untuk kebutuhan yang tidak sensitif. CMIIW.

Ane rasa kalau isu lingkungan jadi prioritas maka cost bukan hal yang jadi masalah utama. Agak kebalik kalau mikirnya karena biaya bikin pembangkit listrik tenaga alternatif selain uap atau bahkan nuklir mahal terus jadinya milih PLTU saja tanpa ada upaya untuk pindah ke arah energi yang lebih baik. Tentu saja praktiknya bakal bikin pusing, tapi seharusnya itu kan jadi kewajiban pemerintah. Sayangnya kebanyakan orang yang jadi wakil di pemerintahan terikat banyak hal sehingga susah menemukan yang benar-benar peduli.

Intervensi pemerintahnya ini ada di bagian pemungutan pajak konversi ini ya gan? Emang benar itu intervensi pemerintah atau pihak exchangenya saja yang ingin mendapatkan keuntungan lebih? Cepat juga perubahannya, entah karena ada loophole atau karena sejak awal sebenarnya tidak perlu serumit itu. Di sisi lain bisa dipahami kenapa BIDR diutamakan mengingat itu salah satu produk utama mereka, apalagi setelah akuisi oleh Binance. Mungkin rasa tidak adil ini bakal hilang kalau ada exchange yang menawarkan fitur serupa atau punya produk serupa. CMIIW.

I think he meant the customization part is not shared. That is indeed the base code for the forum afaik. You can see which version this forum is based on the footer easily. CMIIW.

This is probably my fifth time seeing more or less similar ideas being discussed. If you're referring to cryptocurrency-based ownership like tokens or Bitcoin-based tokens, I don't think you'll find much success seeing how most of those projects went bankrupt or ditched crypto completely. I'm talking about a company by the way, not some random internet user who crowdfunds from their internet peers. Personally, I don't think you'll find much success seeing your competitors are apps like Robinhood. CMIIW.

I won't really call it correct since there's no standard as mentioned above. It probably feels that way because you're more familiar with it, just like how you write fiat. At the end of the day, this is just a matter of consensus, and I've never seen one argue strongly against the other. I'd say just use whatever you like, the other party is likely going to understand anyway.

I'm actually planning to buy a franchise in the short term to increase my capital. I also buy ETFs that are available in my market and invest in some other business, but with the money I invested, I doubt it will outperform my crypto portfolio when the next bull run happens. But diversification is always a good thing, as much as I believe in BTC I don't have that much luxury to rely only on it to give me a massive return in the short term. Time will tell whether my decision is correct and whether I'm lucky.

How will you ensure that your wallet will connect with those apps? How different is your wallet from a multi-currency wallet? As far as I can tell, there's no difference at all. Saying that others are lacking support or now is not going to sell your product, since yours is probably the same at the beginning. Not to mention people can easily use Metamask or something similar since most dapps nowadays support it.

Most Indonesians don't use Bitcoin for payment, at least for local or national transactions. I believe nothing really changed from then, and there's nothing urgent that makes them try to push the narrative that they should be able to pay with Bitcoin. That being said, I do know some people still use Bitcoin to pay internationally or use services like SIM top-ups or game currency payments. So far no one is really getting arrested for that, I doubt the government is going out of its way to stop people making $10 transactions per month with BTC either.

If I understand you right, those people have good content and narrative around them yet their followers are still not increasing. I believe it is just a matter of time then, since most influencer strongest advantage is their content. I do know content creators or influencer like Bitboy who are popular, but very controversial since he accepts ads left and right with so many controversial takes/action. I don't think that's what you should aim for. The first step is always make good content, post it, and then people will naturally discover you.

From the business perspective, they can do many things. For example, making sure that their servers are secure, data are never stored for too long, make sure there are no repeated inputs, etc. From the customer side, there's nothing as mentioned above. You can never be sure, even if they open-source their platform. If you are not comfortable with it maybe you should look for other options such as coinjoin.

What do you mean by losing money by the way? Do they need to pay money to argue their case in court? I never thought that was the case. Do you have any statistics on how much money they need to pay for each case?

I'm pretty sure some services already do this, although it is unclear to what degree they use advanced machine learning or whatever it is called. It basically allows them to process it faster, which can be good for those companies, but the risk of false positives is probably never gonna go away. It would be terrible if there is no appeal process in place, which is what usually lacking in services like exchange. In short, the customer is probably not gonna notice any change unless the service they use is dedicated for them (like better newsfeed, etc).

I'm still seeing a lot of ransomware news on news websites like Bleepingcomputer though. Not really surprising even if they use cloud computing or whatnot, since some of them still rely on insecure methods like SIM authentication just like what. has been reported a few days ago. At the very least there is progress and people can expect they will get jailed sooner or later, although relying on government agencies to stop them is not the best choice.
