This is pretty easy if your paper wallet is just the private key to a single BTC address that has all your BTC in it. Here are some steps.
1. Download Electrum (this is the wallet I use to send multiple transactions, but other ones work as well).
2. Import your private key when you are making a new wallet.
3. When sending a transaction, after the first address, add a comma and the amount you'd like to send, and then add the second line with the same features (below is an example of the formatting)
[first address], 0.002
[second address], 0.0005
When you click send, it should add up the total amount, and then it'll be sent.

i don't see any change! it has always been like this. there are top/good campaigns usually paying higher too, which have stricter rules and want higher quality posters and there are newer campaigns which usually pay less and don't know or don't care about the quality and are easier to join. everything else is just based on manager's opinion and how they copy each other. for instance length of post is something that became popular recently. otherwise if you ask me it should never matter how long your post is. a 1 word post can be more constructive than an essay. same with merit, rank, or even trust. the post quality should be the only thing that matters.
I believe there have been changes over the previous years related to signature campaigns, but this isn't really due to the veteran managers or their fault. They have always been very immaculate at selecting suitable candidates, but since around a year back, there's been a lot of new signature campaigns, we've seen standards drop due to the increase of supply. Merit was a very good change to the forum and allowed people to set merit requirements for posters, which meant people were able to be judged by the community on how well they post. Merit count can be deceiving, some of my favorite posters receive very little merit. It really depends on what section you hang out in.
It looks like there are a lot of desperate people attempting to get in these campaigns because there is always a lot of applicants compared to the number of available spots.
Depends. I still think good posters will get merit, no matter what section. |

You'll be fine. If you have a large number of coins, you can use the numerous available features that help you protect your self, VPN/tor when sending transactions (so they can't link your transaction to your IP address), bitcoin mixers (for making sure your transactions can't be traced to you) and change addresses (so no one will ever know how much BTC you have). 1. I think you should make a research about DEX! You can trade your money in DEX with privacy. And you always buy or sell BTC's P2P.
I believe OP was asking about how to encash his bitcoin, I don't think DEX is the right platform DEX is for crypto-to-crypto exchange only, I haven't seen real fiat exchange on DEX when we need to liquidate bitcoin, we cannot avoid exposing a bit of our personal info either we do it thru peer-to-peer transaction or a centralized institution (fiat gateway) Yeah, same. There hasn't been a lot of DEX's that you can trade crypto for, with maybe the exception of localethereum (if you consider that a dex). For cashing out bitcoin safely, sign up to localbitcoins and message trades if they'd want to do cash trades (they removed this feature, but you can still use the platform to find interested people). This way, there's no track of anything and as long as you meet in a public place, you will be fine. and do it in batches, so if anything goes wrong you don't lose all your money
Yes, do this! |

This is pretty accurate, and I prefer the forum like this way. During the past year, there was way too many people joining and opening new signature campaigns, and the forum userbase wasn't big enough, and therefore allowed a lot of shitposters/copy-pasters to join signature campaigns and earn crazy amounts of money for doing little to nothing. Some good advice for shitposters. But I think you have posted it in the wrong section. If I was you then I would move it to the B&H section. :-)
I think this is a service discussion post, because we are talking about a popular service (signature campaigns). A beginners version of this would be if this was a guide on how to get into signature campaigns. Thank goodness its getting harder to get into a signature campaign. Anyone, and I mean anyone was able to get into a signature campaign a few years ago, and with the introduction of the merit system we are now seeing a more functional forum with actual quality posts rather than the garbage which was spewed out, because users were getting paid for it. I honestly thought monetary gain would be the ultimate motivator to making good posts, but as with everything users got complacent, and now we have a system which prevents that from happening. I also believe signature campaigns should have a rule that every participant should earn a certain amount of merit each period. If they don't they get removed, and someone else gets put in their place. This would mean you'll only be hiring those that are actively earning merit rather than have done in the past which means it would prevent them from getting complacent.
If I was in charge of a signature campaign I would probably only want the elite advertising the service, and even if I had spaces left I wouldn't hire someone just for the sake of it. I would probably recommend actually approaching noteworthy users, and not just relying on applications too.
Yeah, I'd agree. Money should have increased post quality, but we had too many signature campaigns so the standards just dropped for a lot of them. |

What a business to be in, zero risk for the person lending out money, is completely backwards to the real world. Most loans and credit is given without collateral. People can ask what they want but lenders usually have a risk.
Your biggest problem here is when you are comparing the real world with the online world. In the real world, when a bank or other entity gives you a loan, they are able to see your ID, your address, your credit score, and all the information on them. Online, you know nothing. Fake ID's are fairly cheap and easy to get, and people are more able to get away with scamming online. Also, with collateral, you get a lower interest rate compared to without collateral. Getting a loan IRL from the banks is more expensive then collateral loans in crypto. If you do want to put this into a more similar situation, lending online with no collateral would be finding someone on the street, having a 20-minute conversation with him and then giving him a loan. |

That's great, but I agree with figment and I don't think it's a DEX. "Nearly instant transfers" just probably means you can trade coins and deposit/withdraw them easily (most exchanges you need to wait 4-5 minutes for your transaction to be sent, maybe PIT instantly sends it). I don't think it's anything revolutionary, but Blockchain is a pretty good company and hasn't been engaged into untrustworthy activities unlike other exchanges that are similar. From a look at availability ( https://pit.blockchain.com/availability), there seems to be a large number of countries that are restricted. Is this just for the beta phase/testing, or from the entire exchange as a whole? Looking at it, seems like 70% of all countries are banned - although I do see some available US states, which is interesting. More of exchange for people that aren't very invested in crypto. Most people that'll use this are the people with blockchain wallets, and it seems like they've made it even easier for those people - https://pitsupport.blockchain.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031214691-How-do-I-connect-my-Blockchain-wallet-to-The-PIT-. |

To be fair, I've seen investment circles where people do pool all their money together and they are able to leverage their large amount of capital to ICOs/IEOS for a bigger token bonus. With a large amount of capital, if your group of investors is able to locate projects in the early stage that is predicated to be gigantic in the future, these early-stage projects will likely be open to selling their tokens for a discount if that means they'll have more capital for their main sale. This would be an angel investment circle!
Keep in mind, a majority of these are scams. Money that isn't in your hands is no longer your money, and the group could easily run with the funds or make an investment that you do not agree with - I'd personally only do this with a group of friends I know in person because I can trust them with my money.
About the legal side, I believe this a grey area, but as long as you declare tax and pay off all of that, you should be fine, I doubt the authorities will be able to find that you've done this anyway. Pay your taxes and don't draw attention to yourself.

This is pretty interesting from the post I've just read. I don't have a whole lot of information, but I have a basic understanding of what you are saying, and having done such progress already, whilst backed by private investors is excellent. Not to mention the company registration in Malta, which is regarded as one of the countries that have supported the adoption of cryptocurrencies.
I do have a couple of questions though. For a project that's seemingly done a lot of progress on their platform, you seem to have no community. 15 twitter follows and a couple of hundred views on youtube isn't anything. Where is this marketing team you've hired doing?
I'd also love a link to your site and other resources if it's completed unless they aren't finished.

You can buy coins without kyc on binance exchange or luno and coinbase,though there is limit buying crytpo on luno and coinbase without KYC
Conibase is not cheapest place where to buy but i always use coinbase too. Cheapest place or with smallest fee will be to buy from someone in your city. Coinbase has probably one of the highest spreads and is also probably one of the most unsafe platforms to buy from. There have been many cases and Coinbase has admitted to giving away user data, and for a company that charges such large fees and makes you wait 3-5 business days before you can send coins of the site, there isn't a reason why I would use it. Hi Guys,
My first coins I bought at localethereum.com.
The better offers there have a spread of around 3% to the price at coinmarketcap, plus the 0.75% fee that the platform charges for buyers.
But are there places with better rates and also without kyc?
Also the escrow system on that platform is really nice.
I have been using localbitcoins.com to buy bitcoins from fiat but never heard of localethereum.com. Do they offer same level of escrow as localbitcoins ? For localbitcoins, you have to verify your identity to be able to put buying selling offers. Localethereum is legit but less popular so you will find abnormally high buy and low sell prices in there. Escrow is just same as Local bitcoins. Local bitcoin started enforcing KYC even for normal traders who just want to buy and sell without advertising. Yep, localethereum is fairly popular and is also a variation of a DEX (Decentralised Exchange) - all the money in your wallet is only controlled by you and when you deposit your coins, you will have access to the private keys where the money is located in. I would personally recommend the use of localethereum for smaller transactions if you can find an affordable spread. |

Why not, right? We wanted more merchants and businesses to accept bitcoin as a payment, so why would we decline it if we can use it alternatively as a payment? For me, I would try buying coffee using it if possible but I would consider the value. How can we have mass adoption if we're not trying to use it for payments.
Bitcoin shouldn't be seen as a mainstream payment currency though. The TX fees and confirmations are horrible compared to other options. What's the point of using my BTC and paying a 1 dollar fee on a 5 dollar coffee, and then making the merchant wait 20 minutes for the money to be verified, when I can just tap my card and not deal with all these issues. BTC will never become a viable option for microtransactions, especially in real life because it was never built for that purpose. It feels like a waste to make a payment with Bitcoin.
If the lightning network is activated, I want to pay with a less burdensome cryptocurrency.
Lightning Network is built to help instantly send/receive Bitcoins so by that, transaction fees on transferring are reduced. So I don't think it would be burdensome to use Bitcoin for payment. This is accurate, but it is much safer to wait for a confirmation, and no matter how small the fee is, why choose an option that you have to pay for when other payment methods exist (fiat, cash)? I personally only consider using BTC for online transactions (mostly electronics), as there are quite a lot of stores that accept BTC online, and spending 50 cents per 200 dollars is way more afforable then spending 50 cents per 5 dollars. |

Bitfinex allows trading of unverified users, and then when they have funds in their accounts and they "suddenly" find that they are from the US, they take the money and lock the account. is that a fact? i haven't heard about any of these cases with bitfinex. i know with bitmex, USA traders have had their positions liquidated and accounts closed but i think they are allowed to withdraw their funds. i've never been able to get a straight answer about what bitfinex does in these situations. I should have structured this a bit clearer, but there is truth in what I said. If you want to use fiat currencies, you will 100 percent need to verify your ID - this is standard for basically most big exchanges. I have seen cases though if you are only trading crypto to crypto and you still get your account closed if you are found to be from the US. It's really dodgy from them, and I wish they could either allow no US customer to touch their exchange, or allow them to move their funds away from the exchange when it's found out to be a US customer. Exchanges nowadays are pulling too many tricks to get ahold of user funds, it's crazy and it's one of the reasons why I choose to use and support DEX's mostly (although there is an immense lack of them). Good job OP with getting your money back - glad to see it was worth the hassle. |

The security seal can be removed in advance to check the existing private key. It can then be covered again with the provided protective sticker.
The private key should only be read by the Chainlock card’s user and in a safe surrounding. The private key provides access to all cryptocurrency amounts linked to the card.
A broken security seal (“seal broken”) is a sign that a manipulation has occurred. Anyone comes into possession of this card can very easy remove security seal and see private key, so this is much less secure then any hardware or desktop wallet. This is actually a cold wallet, and it is safe only if users is store it as they say "Secure storage at any secure place (private safe or safe deposit box in a bank)"https://chainlock.com/?lang=enSo, from my understanding, the crypto card/wallet has a seal on the wallet where when peeled off reveals the private keys? If this is the case, there's no point of using it really. Too susceptible to theft, and if that's the case, I doubt the company would be naive enough to give the card a credit card use. You'll basically be bringing a crypto credit around that if got lost, you'd lose all your money. Also looks like the way to deposit/withdraw your crypto would be exposing the private key? That's not very safe - I've also attached a photo of what it looks like according to the site. "Key generation in high-security zone: the generation procedure, for which a patent application has been filed, ensures that nobody can view the key pair – not even YOUNIQX staff."
Even worse. What's the point in buying hardware wallet if you're giving the company all your details? Discharging the Chainlock card
Expose the private key beneath the security seal / protective sticker.
Scan the private key as a QR code (or, alternatively, enter it manually) using your preferred digital wallet.
Load the cryptocurrency from the Chainlock card into your digital wallet.  This is a pretty big letdown. More risky to use then a ledger/trezor, and no extra features (multi-currencies, etc). |

If cryptocurrency isn't the preferred payment method of criminals,how can you explain that it's the main method used in the Darkweb? Darkweb represents only a tiny fraction of the contraband trade. Do you really think that the total turnover of dark webs come anyway near that of the Mexican cartels? According to the latest estimates, the combined turnover for all the dark web sites was less than $1 billion in 2018. The annual turnover of second-string Mexican cartels easily amount to a few tens of billions of USD. This depends a lot. Your statement here is correct, but the reason why crypto is popular in the darknet is mostly due to the excess of privacy coins, and not really because of BTC or other popular cryptos. I realize you said crypto in your post, but this is a common misconception so it is good to clear it up. The biggest issue with a crime is probably not the darknet, but you must admit that privacy coins are very important and crucial to the darknet. The problem here is, related to the crimes you are talking about that happen on the darknet, the biggest issue isn't that they are using crypto to pay for it, this is just an article made to manipulate the mainstream audience into hating BTC, and regarding volatility, there are tons of coins that are fairly stable, so it isn't a huge issue. |

Looks like they've actually done their research before coming into the industry. They didn't build some mobile or desktop APP, but instead focused purely on security and anonymity, which is very impressive. The only 2 competitors are trezor and ledger, but this seems very different compared to their design of them. curious as to what the card looks like. Is it supposed to resemble a credit card? Would it be for day use as a credit card normally would? Not sure the point of it being waterproof but I would really like to know what it looks like.
This is from the article credit-card-sized Chainlock card So it looks like this will resemble a credit card a lot, but since it is fully offline and they are very security-based, I doubt they'd give it the same functions like a regular credit card, which opens the user up to a lot of problems with theft. Their waterproofness is just an extra feature, who wouldn't like that. I have a lot of questions and will follow this closely. The biggest one is probably going to be supported cryptos and the price for the wallet, |

Yea this is 100% an ad. A site involving fiat without kyc? That sounds like a completely legit and law abiding exchange to me. This sounds exactly like a Reddit advertisement to me, OP doesn't seem to realize this isn't Reddit and people call this shit out.
That's jumping to conclusions a tad fast. Localethereum is a very trusted platform and I doubt they'd need to stoop as low as to run these bitcointalk "advertisements". Also, 3% spread in trading crypto is quite high and isn't a positive representation of their site. Localbitcoins is usually around a 1.5-2.5% from my trades and exchanges like Kraken have barely any spread. Unfortunately localbitcoin have two tier verification 1keu for no KYC per year and 10k for tier 1 and I am unsure what you get at tier2. The limits are much too small in my opinion. At least they use a verified KYC company.
I will now move to localether. thanks for the tip.
This is a bit flawed. OP can use localbitcoins with an unverified account, I have previously in the past, but when you trade up to around 10,000 USD worth of transactions, they lock your account (you can still send and receive BTC though) until you verify your ID. I'd recommend this option as they have smaller spreads and doesn't require ID unless you are buying a large amount. Good luck in your journey in crypto, OP  |

Looks like DARPA is finally getting into blockchain technology. From what I understood from the article, they want to alter and utilise bitcoin technology for their own platform? I would agree with their sentiments of how BTC would be able to used to improve communications and command - with them placing a heavy focus on creating a communications system for the government and military.
To be honest - not exactly sure what to think about this one. I've never really thought about the use of blockchain technology for the military and defense forces, what does everyone else think?

Seems like the chap is trying to hide his tracks I asked him about the accusation and why his website was familiar to tones of scam casino websites in his self moderated thread and guess what? My reply was deleted Here is the archive before the deletion: http://archive.fo/UiMoI It's licensed script from codecanyon. I don't know anything about other sites, we own only MultiCoinGames. I see you've been active on the forum. If so, could you please some of the questions I have for you? Where are your gambling licenses? How many people work on this gambling site? Where is your team based? How much money do you have in your hot wallet. It's a bad start for this gambling sites, he did not establish his reputation here first he thought that it's ok to moderate his thread so he can only answer questions that will favor the project, but if you look at it, it's very questionable, this gambling site is doom to fail.
That's not really how it went. He just bought a cheap, shitty script for 100 dollars and is hoping to hit the goldmine and get a whale to deposit a large amount of money and eventually run and exit scam. |

You can, but it's more complicated than expected. You just sell your BTC directly to your bank account and then pay it off that way, although I've seen people offer to pay someone's bills off (via bpay), in exchange for BTC, but it's pretty rare to find - I found an offer for that on Paxful and LocalBitcoins. I wonder if that'll be possible in the future with the new additions made to crypto with upcoming projects. I'd personally recommend using a bitcoin debit card. Popular ones include Wirex, Bitpay, TenX and Xapo. Cant we use virtual debit cards across the globe? Do we have country restriction for those? If not, those can be loaded with Bitcoin and be used to pay the CC bill everywhere...
Most of the virtual debit cards require KYC and they have country restrictions as well. Some of them do not have KYC. I can't remember off the top of my head, but there are debit cards that only require loading and won't ask for KYC. The downside to this is I'm pretty sure your limits are very low compared to other options. |

if all that the tool does is show a report or stat to the user of it, then i don't think it would be a very useful tool. most of the things you listed can easily be calculated. for example number of posts only requires you to click on the page numbers in the post history and find the last datetime of the previous payment. the number of posts is the number that is shown on the top right corner of that comment.
what you could do is to create an interface that shows all the valid posts. for example it could fetch the post history based on that date and "hide" posts that are not accepted. for instance it could hide posts in boards that they don't pay like altcoin board. and only show the valid ones. so the manager could just focus on them.
you could also add an X button on top of each post to let him remove anything that is not accepted and project that in the total accepted number.
Yeah, this is what I had in mind. Management would never be able to be fully automated because we do not have the technology to be able to determine quality posts from spammy posts. This is very similar to what I had in mind, with the bot being able to fetch the acceptable posts, and then the manager being able to only need to check the posts that the bot has already approved. This + some spreadsheet formulas would make some tedious tasks that are involved in managing very easy. One way to think of it though is restricting this to a twitter/facebook bot. Auto checks the account if they are following the correct people, as well as if they've posted their necessary posts in the correct sections. |

Yep, seems like it. I know a bunch of people who trade on Bitmex or other sites like Deribit using VPNs as well, going to potentially recommend this site to 'em as it'd be much easier and more convenient to trade without using a VPN. As for the fee structure, the link's here. Very similar to Bitmex's fees, except the taker fee is 0.06% and not 0.075%. the structure is a bit convoluted: maker fee = (-0.025%) + (-0.00000002XBT/lot) and taker fee = 0.060% + 0.00000003XBT/lot. https://www.kucoin.com/news/en-kumex-feetaker orders are 0.015% cheaper than bitmex, minus the somewhat negligible fixed fees on kumex. it looks like kumex is better for both makers and takers, though not by a huge margin. That's crazy! Better fees than other options and allows US residents? Seems like a dream come true, the only question is if this is actually viable for Kucoin. If it's been in the making and they've already finalized the legal side to their US operations, when this goes live, it'll probably be one of the biggest releases of the year. Do you guys think they'll release with all of these features? Seems like they aren't trying to overpromise with their approach, and keeping everyone in the dark for now. |
