1  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: So how much privacy do we really need? on: November 03, 2017, 07:50:12 PM
We all know that Bitcoin transactions are not anonymous but pseudo-anonymous, resulting in many problems like tainted coins etc.
Some cryptocurrencies offer significant more privacy (Monero, Zcash etc) but at a cost.
However my question is more fundamental: How 'much' privacy do we really need for a widely-adopted cryptocurrency?
I believe Bitcoin as-is won't get adopted for everyday transactions. Nobody would want showing his buying habits to the whole world (imagine how many ads and flyers you would get).
On the other hand, I don't believe cryptocurrencies that offer too much privacy will get adopted either, since they will be used for criminal activities and eventually get banned.
My feeling is that we want a currency that offers privacy to some extent, without revealing our transaction to the world but still be possible for law-enforcement to track illegal activities.
What do you think?
Not even nearly the level provided by bitcoin mixer services and such.  Too much is how much we currently have.
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ZEN PROTOCOL, is good platform to use-- open for discussion! on: November 03, 2017, 03:02:40 PM
I've heard that  ZEN PROTOCOL provides users with an open marketplace for options, futures, digital currencies and all types of financial instruments...
what's your thoughts?
Zen Protocol seems sketch to me,  but I could be wrong.  Please do prove me wrong,  as we could use one less scammer.  xD
3  Other / Meta / Re: can not post on: November 03, 2017, 02:53:00 PM
why i can not post. When I enter New account in bitcointalk my new account is not able to post, and to enable it I have to redeem some btc. Is there any other way to enable than by redeeming it?
I believe that there is an option to fix this by emailing the admins,  but I haven't been in this situation myself.

So talked there with technical support, they manage to reque my account, my BTC have been sent to a random address,

probably I got hacked, if there is anyone know anything about it, i would like to hear some more

Cheers

What support did you contact?  You likely got scammed,  not hacked.

What do you think is future of Blockchain technology? Where do you see this in next 8-10 years?
I think that it will continue to be used for currency,  but also for many other things,  we'll have to see but I can for sure see it being using with robots and such.
