1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin's inability to change is how it won the blocksize war on: June 27, 2021, 01:50:58 PM
Bitcoin succeeds because it proves its inability to change.
It just exists whether you like it or not and you can't control it or change the rules to your liking.
This is how Bitcoin won the blocksize war from 2015 - 2017. Below is a quick-ish and concise summary of Jonathan Bier's book on the Blocksize War. A disagreement about how large blocks of the blockchain should be, how easy it should be to change Bitcoin's rules, and ultimately it was about control.

2  Bitcoin / Project Development / I built a free and open-source Bitcoin ATM map and repository on: January 21, 2021, 06:27:15 PM
I started a free-to-use and open-source project aimed at consolidating BTMs on a world map. There are a lot of services that do this already but none are open-source and all require BTM owners or operators to pay monthly retainers to be listed on their sites. I wanted to change this model.

Operators and owners can add their ATMs to the open-source repository for free to be seen by the world live on this page.

Would love to hear feedback on this project.

4  Economy / Service Announcements / Building a list of the safest places to buy Bitcoin in each country on: April 10, 2020, 06:48:42 PM
I created a site called www.bitrawr.com to do just that, list the safest exchange to buy Bitcoin in each country. What am I missing?
5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin community, I need help with your knowledge of local Bitcoin ATMs! on: March 25, 2020, 01:30:45 PM
I've been building an open-source Bitcoin ATM map for a couple of months now and have listed over 2000+ working ATMs => www.bitrawr.com/bitcoin-atms

The open-source repo for the ATMs is here => https://github.com/alonshvartsman/bitrawr-geojson

If you see that one of your local ATMs is not on the map, please add it to the repo! The format is GeoJSON but you can also send me an email (alon@bitrawr.com) with the following information about your local ATM:

Name:
Description:
Address:
Hours:
Phone number:
Website:
Longitude:
Latitude:

Let's help people find the best ways to get access to Bitcoin!
PS. I know that Bitcoin ATMs charge very high fees. I'm aware of this. Unfortunately, for a large portion of the world, this is the quickest and most convenient way to buy or sell Bitcoin.

Thanks for your time and help everyone!
6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / New Bitcoin ATM map on: February 28, 2020, 11:01:01 PM
I'm building a brand new Bitcoin ATM map and maintaining the integrity of the information available with BTMs.
Many pop up overnight and then disappear months later. It's a tough task to map all of them but I've started with all the currently known and operating.

I'd love some feedback and help with maintaining this database if possible.

7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Help with building a guide(unique for every country)on buying/selling practices on: February 24, 2020, 11:01:43 AM
About 6 months ago I decided to create an easy-to-use learning resource to help point people in the right direction to understand different topics on Bitcoin. This ranges from mining, wallets, BTMs, and different exchanges. The website is called www.bitrawr.com

Some of the feedback I've gotten back is that many of the countries don't actually have the most popular or recommended exchanges' for buying and selling Bitcoin.

I've tried my best to research some of the best Bitcoin starting points in countries like South Korea, India, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina (from reviews, bitcointalk threads, forums, etc) and would like to know if someone could help, mostly in listing the most popular, safe, and reputable exchanges for countries.

There is a lot of differing information out there and I think it'd be beneficial for a lot of new people just getting started or interested in Bitcoin.
8  Other / Beginners & Help / A simple beginner's guide for newbies on: February 12, 2020, 01:34:55 PM
I wrote this beginner's article on "what is", "how to buy", "how to store" Bitcoin after seeing multiple other articles offer misinformation and sometimes not up-to-date information.

This is my first article on a site I created on my site that helps people traverse the space of Bitcoin relative to their country.

The article is here. Remember, this is for the absolute newbies, the ones who need a very quick, and easy-to-consume breakdown.

9  Economy / Service Announcements / I created a website to help new users traverse the bitcoin landscape on: January 20, 2020, 03:24:03 PM
Hello, my name is Alon and as the title suggests, I created a website to help new users traverse the bitcoin landscape.
Trusted exchanges, secure wallets, nearest ATMs, most efficient mining equipment, and more. Took me a good 6 months but I'm hoping it pays off and helps some people.
The site is www.bitrawr.com
I welcome any and all heart-breaking criticism.

11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Ethereum is the only platform capable of hosting a killer dapp and scaling? on: January 28, 2019, 01:37:38 PM
Ethereum has over 2000 dApps while other competitor chains currently hover around 300.
It's easy to look at this sole statistic and disregard the rest, but we need to look a little deeper.

For both scalability and decentralization to occur, blockchains must be designed to store the minimum amount of information needed to verify future transaction validity.

Can any competitor come in easy and dethrone Ethereum due to its only advantage as a first mover?
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Finding a solution to RAM would open up the EOS blockchain for complex dApps on: January 07, 2019, 01:08:00 PM
Finding a solution for the prohibitive cost of RAM would open up the EOS blockchain for a rich set of complex, interactive dApps to materialize and scale.

In July, following the mainnet launch, the price of EOS RAM shot up to over $4 million a gigabyte, while ordinary RAM purchased elsewhere a mere $11 per GB. Since all the information needs to be replicated across every node on the network, the cost of adding a gigabyte of RAM has to be multiplied by the number of nodes. Furthermore, precious RAM resources are limited in supply, with a current total of 93GB available for the entire network. All it takes is a handful of dApps needing gigabytes of RAM and the supply becomes completely drained while the price of RAM skyrockets, making it inaccessible to most dev teams.

Soon, every single dApp developer will be able to scale their applications.

Is this a slow ease into the mainstream for crypto?
More and more articles and recognition like this push crypto, as it's seen as an emerging sector, and then Bitcoin obviously into the mainstream.

Projects move in and out of the top 100 on CMC but it is a known fact that less than 50% of them actually having products that work right now.
I compiled a list of the best working projects in blockchain as of now, October 2018, and also for fun, created a character compiling all the logos from these top 5 projects.

17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / A small indication of mainstream adoption on: September 28, 2018, 12:22:14 PM
We all assume mainstream adoption will come when Amazon or Starbucks start accepting our volatile holdings? Nope, it comes slowly like this.

18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Cross-chain decentralized exchanges question (EOS/ETH) on: September 24, 2018, 07:10:13 PM
Will a cross-chain DEX help bring EOS tokens to the same level of liquidity and users as ERC20 tokens have?
19  Economy / Exchanges / Who is excited about the first crosschain exchange BancorX (EOS/Ethereum) on: September 23, 2018, 01:37:37 PM
Benefits of Bancor on EOS, includes:

1-second transactions (as opposed to > 10 seconds on Ethereum)

No transaction fees (as opposed to gas on Ethereum which can reach upwards of $50)

No front-running risk (EOS transactions are not prioritized by gas fees as they are on Ethereum)

Bancor just announced their new cross-chain liquidity protocol, combining Ethereum and EOS blockchains.
https://blog.bancor.network/announcing-bancorx-the-first-cross-blockchain-decentralized-liquidity-network-aebb6a0dad8d

Cross-chain interoperability caters to all holders and brings the same level of liquidity to all native tokens on each chain. Huge news. Who's excited for this?
