8981  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Compare Withdrawal Fees before you trade on a Exchange on: August 10, 2020, 07:17:48 PM
In my case I wanted to know where the cheapest place to trade and withdraw OCEAN token is. The comparison showed me four exchanges, where the cheapest one charges just $0.42 (1 OCEAN token) and the most expensive one $4 (9.5 OCEAN tokens). What an immense difference.


I can add two things:

1 - Don't use a small unkown exchange because of their fees. You may end up in a scam exchange and lose everything.

2 - It is better to swap to a cryptocurrency with low withdrawal fees. XRP is excelent for that. Usually XRP withdrawal fees are 1-5 XRPs, whichi is quite lwo.....

I don't think people are losing faith in centralized organizations,  but in banks and governments.

Centralized organizations are everywhere: bitcointalk, reddit, apple, Amazon, Facebook,  google.

I believe that for the first time in history people are loving this new tech monopoly.  Most of people love instagram monopoly,  google monopoly and so on.

Centralized organizations are at their top. But now we have a decentralized world currency. And just one, bitcoin.

I would like to test if selected.
bc1qn79qagtmj5d276q0evprvjz42dqa7dnth3yx6z



Funds received and I just sent them to the mixer at 13 sat/byte fee. Let's hope it gets there soon Smiley

My first impressions of the mixer were good. The website says the mixing process will finish in about 6 hours after the first confirmation, which is pretty fast imo.

However, I noticed a few details in the website which were ambiguous:

First, the first screen in the website says that the minimum amount to mix for free is 0.001 btc


However, when I click to mix for free it says that the minimum is 0.005. I think this information is incorrect.


Finally, the simulator shows incorrect information as well. If the mixing is free, I should receive back, at minimum, deposit - fees. But the simulator is charging 5% plus 0.0007 comission (which should not be charged in free, right?)



Please verify these information in the website, as people who want to mix small amount of coins may be confused.



Update 1:

Mixing finished, and I already received all my coins (0.001 BTC) in a 127 byte transaction., about 4 hours later.
Already confirmed.

Thank you Go-Overt.


My last comment will be the 4.9% fee.

I will suggest lowering fee for high values. For example, 3% for 0.5 BTC, 2.5% for 0.7 BTC , 2% for 1 BTC and 1% for more than 2 BTC, something like that.

Good mixing overall, but quite expensive for high values. There are cheaper mixers out there. Just a suggestion.





Update 2:
Go-Overt Bitcoin Mixer addressed most of may suggestion, making the website easier to understand.
Happy to see they are open for suggestions.

Would you choose to have surgery with a 20 yo old doctor or a 60 yo "grandpa"?

Without a doubt  , if age was to be the last criteria,  I would choose a doctor with 40s,50s.

There are ages between 20 and 60 Wink
At 60s,70s health problems might show upand are more common, the doctor could be shaking at my surgery or closed minded to new techs.

Besides, what's with all the fuss about 60yo old not being so open to technologies, do you realize these people who are now in their 60s were 40 when the dot-com bubble popped in 2000? That they were in their 30s when the CD-ROM was introduced and some of them were babies when the first personal computers went on sale? What's with this preconception, if somebody is old he probably can't answer a smartphone? I'm sure that if we take case by case there are some of those grandpas who have more knowledge about IT than many of the users around here, there are a lot of so-called "bitcoiners" who have no clue how bitcoin works in reality.

Yeah, Hal Finney being 53 in 2009 totally proves how unknowledgeable old people are.

I think it is more common to find bitcoiners of 30-50 than 50-70.

People at 30_50 are more open to new techs and they understand it better. Hal Finney is an exception...

I am not against face masks, but here's a fact - Face Masks won't improve your immune system!!

People do not use masks to improve their immune system, but to protect THE OTHERS from the virus you are possible carrying, slowing the spread.

Wearing a mask is an act of solidarity. You are protecting and respecting the others.

Se a choppcoin fosse feita como um Fork NANO poderia dar certo, transações instantâneas, boa tecnologia.
Mas aí o motivo dela existir não fica tão bom.

Se está cagando para descentralizacao, melhor usar visa. Mais seguro, boa tecnologia, transacoes instantaneas, etc. Smiley

Querem ou não querem algo descentralizado Huh
O pessoal mistura muito as coisas.

É desejável que o dinheiro seja descentralizado, para que ninguém o controle, pq um dinheiro virtual é basicamente um bem publico. Ninguem deveria ser dono da emissa de novas moedas, nem se voce pode enviar seu dinheiro para fulano ou cicrano etc.

Isso não quer dizer que as pessoas que apoiam o bitcoin querem tudo descentralizado.

Primeiro que usamos o forum aqui de graça, mas existe toda uma equipe de administração por trás (inclusive com contas a pagar. Essas contas não são descentralizadas).
Segundo que como o Tryninja falou quem paga pelas campanhas tb sao empresas, que sao tb descentarlizadas, com custos proprios etc. Não tem nada descentarlizado aqui. E na verdade, nem é desejável que isso aqui seja descentralizado.

I can do for 100usd, and I will need a escrow.

I doubt anyone would do that for 10usd.

Edit: i am not sure if it can be done in Google, as PrimeNumber7 mentioned.
8990  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC has hit ATH against Turkish Lira on: August 09, 2020, 03:58:05 PM
If the US dollar loses it value, we can see the all time high much earlier.

Not necessarily.
If usd loses its values it will be against same pairs. For example, usd x Turkish lira ratio will get lower.
In this case bitcoin x usd will go up but bitcoin x lira will go down.
8991  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Average Congressman has nearly 60 years. Can those grandpas regulate bitcoin? on: August 08, 2020, 12:45:21 PM
I'm pretty sure they have advisers even though they are already seated as legislators and regulators. These advisers can explain to them what cryptocurrencies are in a concise manner without overwhelming these grandpas that you speak of.
That was my second thought about OP's post.  These "grandpas" don't really have to understand the mechanics of cryptocurrency for one thing.  They probably know enough of what bitcoin is (a bank-less, government-less currency) to make decisions as far as regulation, and whatever they don't know, they certainly aren't working alone in making decisions.  Every congressman has advisors and teams of information-gatherers, so I wouldn't write them off just because of their age.

My first thought was that being 60 years old doesn't make you ignorant of technology necessarily.  Crypto is certainly a younger person's game, but these people high up in government are generally not stupid people.  They're usually quite intelligent actually.  Your grandfather might not know how to use a cell phone or the internet, but that simply isn't true of all senior citizens--and 60 years old doesn't even make you a senior citizen anyway.


I agree with you. Certainly advisers help and being 60 doesn't mean you are ignorant about tech

 however they do not need to follow advisers and neither a 60 is likely to be a tech guy. Ofc Bill Gates knows more about new techa than me, even though he is 70s... but he is not an average grandpa.
Average congressman probably cant even properly use his smartphone camera and play store , PayPal etc.

Putting younger people in Congress is important
8992  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Swap BTC LTC on: August 08, 2020, 12:08:40 AM
If you have a high amount of money, it is certainly cheaper to use Binance than swap services.

those services usually send your coins to binance and receive a commision base on the % you exchange, but you do not pay withdrawal fees. So it is good if you have a high amount of money because it will be cheaper to pay withdrawal fees.

Binance do not require KYC if you withdrawal less than 2 btc per day. Quite good.

while I am in the mood and bootstrap is a burden to you, draw me sketch up how you imagined the page to look, buttons, forms etc... I have paid a licence for one bootstrap creator software and I can compile blocks for you. Then you need only to edit with your content.  Wink

Thanks, but one of the biggest golas of my project is to learn: mainly web development (bootstrap is obviously the first) , python and about blockchain analysis.

I already learned a lot by doing those animations and tables here, i plan to do more stuff like that, but not about bitcointalk and not races anymore

I am still struggling with botstrap and doing a few things, and I will add some interesting projects there soon and I will tell everyone about this new web site

I would like to thank everyone here who helped me chose a domain.
Specially examplens, who added my website to his server.

I bought the domain using namesilo,  cheaper than name cheap and paid with BITCOIN

I read a Twitter today about Google and Facebook regulations (which I couldn't find now). But this applies to cryptocurrency as well:

Quote
The average age of Members of the House at the beginning of the 115thCongress was 57.8 years; of Senators, 61.8years, among the oldest in U.S. history.
Source:
https://www.senate.gov/CRSpubs/b8f6293e-c235-40fd-b895-6474d0f8e809.pdf

People of those ages could easily be grandfathers. Do you think granpa could build the legislation for Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies?


Bitcoin is already big enough and conquered it space.  And bitcoin is not in war with regulators (at least not yet), but imo regulation will have to adapt to bitcoin, and not the opposite.
8996  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The race to crypto regulation? Public and permissionless is still possible? on: August 06, 2020, 06:50:11 PM
What are your thoughts on the need for regulation in the cryptocurrency industry? As the industry matures, I think it would make sense to go the regulatory route rather than to fight the "existing system"?

The only project which doesn't need to follow any regulation is bitcoin. Regulation must try to fit in bitcoin.

All the other MUST follow regulaations, because they are companies. If a company is against the law, it will be shut down and operators will have to face consequences (fines, jail, whatever).
As bitcoin doesn't have an owner, ceo, etc, and neither a central point, it simple cannot be shut down by any regulator.

THe most recent example is libra, which american congress just stopped it before even it was born.
8997  Other / Ivory Tower / Choluteca Bridge - A metaphor for what can happen to us, our carrer and future on: August 06, 2020, 04:45:41 PM
Summary:
Honduras wanted to build a bridge that could survive the most terrible hurricanes. It was build in 1996 by a Japonese firm.  It costed millions, was beatiful and was Choluteca pride and joy.




A few years later there was a terrible hurricane that destroyed everything in Hondures. All bridges in the country were destroyed but one, Choluteca Bridge.

However, all the roads leading to the bridge were also destroyed. Everything surround the bridge was destroyed. And the river was forced to move around, by the forces of nature, and it is now passing beside the old bridge (which is still intact, today).

What does this tell us about our careers? Our way of thinking?
I believe that this pandemic will forever change our lives. Are you ready for this new normal?

I received this image with this article:

8998  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Coinbase explorations on: August 06, 2020, 04:31:49 PM
I think they try to select real projects. There are so many scams out there, and coinbase is heavily regulated in US.

Also, they are worried about  51% attacks. For example, ETC suffered 3 attacks in the last 7 days. BTG also suffered some attacks in the past and so on.

Personally, I think they could even restrict more the coins that are list. Coinbase is not an exchange like binance, which tries to list all possible coins in the world for money...

achei esse topico na aba gringa.

Estava pensando em como essa vulnerabilidade podia ser explorada para roubar btcs, e o caso é esse:
Se voce conectar sua ledger em um aplicativo de terceiro malicioso (como uma mew falsa) eles poderiam roubar seus btc.

Isso poderia ter ficado mais claro no artigo citado pelo paredao.. mas realmente o nivel dos artigos de cripto é bastante baixo , tanto no brasil quanto fora...
9000  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ledger App Isolation Bypass Vulnerabilities on: August 06, 2020, 04:23:01 PM
do not connect to just any 3rd party application and try to keep your ledger with BTC seperate from shitcoins.

I was thinking about how this vulnerability could be exploited, and that's  exactly the case

If you connect your ledge in a third party malicous software, they could steal your btc.
That's kind of serious vulnerability, sadly ledger didn't handle it well..
