I just checked your website and it loads easily. Have you updated your CDN?

One thing I can nitpick is probably the filter option. The difference between "also altcoins" and "optional bitcoin only" is quite unclear. Maybe adding a pop-up explanation would be better when the user hovers over it, or just delete and improve the filter altogether. As of now, it seems like it refers to the same thing.

Have you checked out autotrader? It looks like they support dydx too[1]. Not sure if it requires a VPS or not, it looks like you can just run it on your computer (although a VPS is probably preferred if you want to run it 24/7). On the other hand, the last update is last year so you should expect some problems. I do believe the tradeoff is quite worth it if you are not comfortable with KYC at all.

If I remember correctly, there was a rumor related to Gate insolvency a while back too. Looks like exchanges are more interconnected than one might think since the timing and transactions are quite suspicious. I wonder if new exchanges that come up recently are their shadows in one way or another. I won't be surprised if top exchanges went bankrupt and then some people found funds are transferred to new exchanges. According to the latest news, Justin Sun inject a ton of money into Huobi recently to help solve this issue. Let's see if that will work out or not.

It is interesting to see if any collapse will affect some local exchanges in my region since some of them have connections with overseas exchanges like Binance. Anyway, withdraw your funds asap!

I honestly doubt it will go to that point, especially if the business is based in the US, to begin with. It is likely that they will move some offices to other countries or use other means to bypass the regulation that slows down their business, but unlikely to move outside the US completely unless they can go to Europe or China. Paying a fine once in a while is probably more profitable for the business involved compared to losing access to the US market altogether. CMIIW.

If you really want to spend time arguing with him, maybe you can focus on this point first. If his fundamental beliefs can't be changed then it's really useless even if you bring miners or nodes decentralization and so on. It's kinda useless if he just says "well, there's nothing decentralized in this universe" every time you talk to him. On top of that, maybe his understanding of Bitcoin is already different from yours, so there's no middle ground to debate on.

I do agree with others that doing something like this is just a waste of time. The result probably won't change that much regardless of what method or argument you bring to the table.

We should be able to do that with an atomic swap or something similar. Although I'm not sure what is the consensus related to atomic swap, whether it is a smart contract or not. I'm not comfortable relying on exchange if I want to swap one coin for another, and the bridge is not really the best solution since it is geared more toward developers or businesses to take profits from market exposure instead of assets security IMO.

That being said, testing the code is definitely required even if it is not as 'complex' as smart contracts. CMIIW.

Itu udah termasuk data-data pribadi om? Mungkin memang beda usage kali ya. Ane ada 2TB lebih juga merasa masih kurang. Emang sebagian ada game sih sekitar 1TB, tapi sisanya apps dan file" buat kerjaan. Tapi ga ada salahnya ada backup om, mengingat SSD bisa fail juga dan malah susah untuk direcovery nantinya dibandingkan HDD setahu ane. Khususnya kalau om sering write ke SSD untuk kebutuhan kerja atau yang lainnya.

Btw apakah pernah ada yang make RAM cache? Kira-kira worth ga ya untuk mempercepat loading time aplikasi/game kalau ane punya RAM 32GB? Atau mending ganti ke SSD yang lebih cepat saja untuk mempercepat loading time?

Agan bisa tanyakan ke orang yang jual beli akun. Mungkin di board Goods ada yang jual. Sekilas ada banyak alasan sih kenapa akun bisa mahal, ada yang nyari untuk username, untuk promosi, untuk badge dan dijadiin NFT, dan lain-lain. Pada dasarnya tergantung buyer ngasih value apa ke akun tersebut. Perlu diingat kalau jual beli akun pada dasarnya melanggar ToS Discord plus rawan scam.

Bukankah kebanyakan orang ingin jadi ASN karena kestabilan dan jenjang karier yang sudah terpaku dibandingkan bisnis sendiri atau kerja lain seperti freelance misalnya? Ane sendiri punya keluarga yang jadi ASN dan penghasilannya cukup besar, walau awalnya juga ga seberapa. Balik lagi ke bidang apa dan sepintar apa pegawai tersebut sepertinya, walau tentu saja peluang yang ada relatif kecil dibandingkan peminatnya. Ujungnya ya kebanyakan hanya kebagian jabatan atau kerja yang gajinya tidak seberapa. CMIIW.

Harus ada sanksi juga kalau ada ingin kenaikan kualitas pelayanan publik. Ane rasa joke pegawai swasta lebih ramah dibanding pegawai negeri kadangkala masih berlaku saat ini. Tentu saja kalau sanksi ga sebanding dengan rewardnya, bisa jadi malah banyak yang keluar dan cari kerjaan lain.

Ane rasa konteks dari hasil riset ulama terdahulu dengan model kerja di forum ini tidak sama. Kalau agan kerja freelance di platform luarg negeri juga bisa jadi berbeda dengan kerja offline. Apalagi kalau forum ini servernya ternyata ada di beberapa negara, malah jadi ribet menentukan dimana Bitcointalk itu sendiri berada. Sejauh ini sih ane belum dengar ada yang membahas bagaimana menzakati hasil kerja dari signature campaign dst. Ane pribadi sih membayarkan zakat hasil dari forum sebagaimana dari hasil kerja freelance dan lainnya yang ane kerjakan.

Dari pengalaman dan sharing dari teman dan keluarga ane sendiri, rata-rata anak SMA-kuliahan punya minat yang cukup besar berkenaan dengan kripto. Kalau anak atau keluarga yang jadi target ada di usia tersebut memang lebih mudah untuk diajari dan diarahkan, daripada dibiarkan sendiri dan dia bermain risiko tanpa ada pengelolaan yang tepat. Kalau untuk jadi sasaran warisan sih mungkin masih terlalu dini kalau anak agan masih SD-SMP.

Binance would never replace your address on its own. Assuming you select the right network, it is likely that the malware just replaces anything on your clipboard as long as it is a crypto address. I second the suggestion to use another device and scan/reinstall your current system to make sure there is no malware lurking around your computer. You can also assume that your seed or private keys are already exposed if your copied address keeps changing. CMIIW.

It sucks that we can not give a warning directly to scammers like this. But shouldn't eBay allow the buyers to get their money back if they found out that it is just a USB with an Electrum installed? Or do they assume that the buyer is aware since the seller is showing the whole screenshot, so technically he didn't lie? The seller doesn't accept returns too. Either way, hopefully, no one is stupid enough to buy this.

You should make sure you store them securely though, granted the level of security might differ depending on what you have and know, but it should be your goal, not a choice. Afaik, most experienced members will always recommend you to store your backup offline, with tips and tricks being shared on various boards such as this one[1]. I suggest reading some of these topics to try to improve your security. Might as well educate your family if you plan to share one or two things about Bitcoin with them. CMIIW.

So, If I get this right, congress claims that Blackrock is sharing confidential data with their China partners which might worsen the US-China relationship even further. That is some serious allegations. Although I'm sure Blackrock will just get away by paying some fine and then continue their business as usual.

Is there any reason why it is a small b instead of s? Maybe if you can explain it more people will agree with you, although it is unlikely to gain large traction since the community is way too big already. If you plan to use it on your own websites/blogs or something similar, people might also get confused since you use different symbols.

That's right, compared to now it would be difficult to encourage users to use your symbol, especially if it indirectly clashes with the previous one.

I used them in the past but shortly leave since their liquidity is low for coins that I want to trade with. Granted it is not the top 10 or 20 coins, but the experience is still not great. I also recall seeing some reports about deposit or withdrawal problems in the past. Most of them are caused by technical issues iirc. Personally, I'd put them on my last resort exchange if I can't find any alternatives for my needs. The lightning network is also supported by more exchanges now, so I don't see it as a unique feature that would attract me to comeback.

Who are you referring to with "some people"? Your friend/family, or those famous anti-crypto/Bitcoin on social media? If you want to convince people it will differ based on how opinionated they are and how familiar they are with crypto. I doubt you'll convince people with the reasons you mentioned above though, since even crypto maxi will probably disagree with your points.

At the end of the day, some people already use Bitcoin as an inflation hedge. Services that accept Bitcoin or offer investment services related to crypto also increase slowly. I believe it will stay so you don't have to worry that much. There's no need to convince people that firmly believe crypto will fail, just keep DCA and manage your risk. You don't really have to worry that people won't buy Bitcoin because they don't see it as an inflation hedge, since most of them will likely trade it anyway.

It is still not ideal as mentioned above. I believe others already said it better, but you don't want to make miners concentrated in one or two countries. I think some people are trying to discourage this by encouraging miners to move to other countries, but that is not ideal since every miner's condition is different. At the end of the day, they are doing that for profit. I guess the worst scenario would be a huge decrease in hash rate and then a period of slow confirmation if something terrible happened to miners due to regulation.

Looks like a paid article or an article from a text spinner. The writer is also not clear. Does the website have any credibility, to begin with? Some parts of the articles look like it was paraphrased from Investopedia on more or less the same topic[1]. I suggest you not use their definition which is deliberately misleading.
