It talks about the current state with negative interest rates. Which countries have some "maneuver" space. How long can this go. What is the problem regarding negative interest rates. How they don't affect cash and how to make it affect on it. How it could be solved using some kind of e-cash. Pros and cons. Link: https://blogs.imf.org/2019/02/05/cashing-in-how-to-make-negative-interest-rates-work/

So even if the economy has been doing good in the last 10 years interest rates haven't increased. So what will central banks do to encourage spending after the downturn? If they would lower interest even more people would start to withdraw cash because at least they wouldn't be losing money on a bank. So they propose a solution to take money directly from our pockets. IMO this system is just set to be doomed... Is this a call for cryptocurrencies. This way they can't steal directly from our pockets.

[I would like to introduce you to LoCoins - https://locoins.io/]

LoCoins on Facebook | LoCoins website

I would like to introduce you to LoCoins - https://locoins.io/
It's a OTC service for buying and selling crypto currencies in your local shop.
Founders have already established a successful bitcoin ATM operator and local cryptocurrency promoter - Bitnik. They’re from Slovenia and love crypto!


HOW TO

The whole process of selling or buying cryptocurrencies with LoCoins is very simple.
For now they support 4 different currencies - Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin and Bitcoin cash. More to come!
After you've created an account on their platform you only need to make 5 simple steps to buy/sell your coins.
This can take you less then 10 minutes (depends how close to shop you are and block confirmation time).
Of course their website is smart phone friendly.

BUY
1. You login to the LoCoins website.
2. Check for the closest shop or shop with minimal fees, whatever suit you best.
3. Set amount you want to buy and address to which you want coins to be sent.
4. Go to this shop.
5. Pay for your coins.
And you've successfully purchased coins!

SELL
1. You login to the LoCoins website.
2. Check for the closest shop or shop with minimal fees, whatever suit you best.
3. Set amount you want to sell.
4. Send coins and wait for confirmation.
4. Go to this shop.
5. Pick up cash.
And you've successfully sold your coins!

LIMITS, KYC, EXPANSION

Right now there is no KYC process, so there is a limit of 1000€ for buying and selling. They're integrating a KYC process as they're preparing for future regulations.
They are also actively collaborating with Slovenian government regarding crypto regulations so they're always working according to latest laws and even try to stay one step ahead of them.

Currently they're only operating in one country - Slovenia, where around 20 shops are already collaborating with them.
But after KYC process will be implemented in the platform they will be able to spread their business in other countries as well.

This is also one of the reasons I started this topic. If anyone is interested in selling/buying crypto with the help of LoCoins they can contact me or reply to this thread.
I am with touch with one of the founders so I will be able to help in any way. They are also planing on making some kind of affiliate program for those who will get new sellers. So stay tuned!
Don't be shy and let's make crypto available to everyone.

If you will contact them directly please tell them you saw this post on Bitcointalk.

I just have a quick question just to make sure I'll post new topic in the correct board/ child board.
I am going to make a description of a service called LoCoins - https://locoins.io/. It's basically a platform with which you can buy/sell cryptocoins in your local shop. They currently operate with 4 currencies - BTC, LTC, BCH and ETH. If further description is needed I will be happy to tell more.
So I was looking for the right place to post it.
I would pick "Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Marketplace > Service Announcements". Can someone just confirm me that this is the most suitable one? Thanks!

Hello, I am the community manager for SportyCo. If anyone is interested in this project you can check my signature for more info. But that's not why I am writing here.

We've recently had a Telegram bounty and we've got a lot of responses. I am checking them manually (copy from spreadsheet, paste in telegram search box) and I was wondering if there is a way to scrap telegram users? If I would get a full list of users in our group in excel it would make my job a lot easier.
I don't know a lot about computer programming so only very simple solution is good enough for me.

Any help will be appreciated, thank you!

PopulTrade will be able to create this capital on account of everyday activities, such as purchases of articles, usage of services and successfully executed businesses. The created capital will be managed in a democratic way by members gathered in the PopulTrade groups (like you), members who will cooperate in a business transaction and will contribute to its growth and success, will consequently earn on behalf of their work. The PopulTrade environment will allow a business to be carried out from the initial idea to the final sale of the product.

[Physical bitcoin]

I am exploring blockhain technologies for about 3 months now. So there are a lot of things I don't understand very good yet. These are all my opinions and solutions for problems I present might have been found already.

As I have seen these past months blockhain technology shows huge potential but there are still a lot of improvements needed in this technology.

One of the problems is network fees. All or at least majority of videos/presentations of Bitcoin are offering us zero or very low fees. As the Bitcoins price and number of transactions raised significantly these fees became pretty high.1 They are not like impossible high so the Bitcoin isn't affected by this too much. And for big transactions these fees are still very small. Let's say there is 3$ fee worth of BTC, if you are sending 1 BTC the fee is still nothing -> less then 0,15% (BTC price = 2700$). As I have seen there are some ideas of solving these high fees 2 but these solutions doesn't seem to satisfy whole community so some problems with this may occur.

I see two major problems of ''high'' fees.
1. It is not good for advertisement of Bitcoin and what happens is a big doubt of new users and users which operate with low amounts of bitcoins.
2. Second problem is using bitcoins for everyday use. You just can't buy 2$ thing in shop and pay 5$ for it (2$+3$ fee).
Because these two reasons I think bitcoin is far from currency which we could use for everyday and would suit everyone, from poor regions to most developed countries.

So to get to the topic:
Physical bitcoin.
Physical bitcoin would completely solve this fee problem, as you don't transfer bitcoins/satoshis from one address to another, but instead you transfer the ownership of this address from one person to another. This would increase bitcoins usage a lot, at least I think so.
Physical bitcoin should contain public key and private key. Public key must be there so you can verify balance on this coin. Private key must be hidden and you could only see public key once - and with you seeing private key, coin would become worthless. So when someone ''opens'' (check private key) coin you should clearly see it is worthless, it must be like broken or something. 3
If we get safe and practical physical bitcoins this solves few problems. I will present some advantages and disadvantages of using physical bitcoin.

Disadvantages:
1. Safety - I have come across some ''stickers'' which are considered safe. It is possible to check if someone tried to use private key 4. It bothers me what happens if someone peel of the sticker and save private key, then he apply new sticker which looks exactly the same on the outside. So the coin have completely same look on the outside. He can sell/ pass it over and he has private key. I haven't researched a lot about this, so please tell me more about this if you know
2. Centralisation - there must be complete trust to manufacturer of the physical bitcoins. He can save private keys, make ''empty'' coins and probably other things he could do to scam you.
3. Bitcoin price - You have let's say physical bitcoin worth 0,01BTC. In the moment you spend it you must check it's price, this means there must be internet connection at the spot you are spending this bitcoin. This is not really big problem nowadays in my opinion, but it is a problem. Actually only the person who is accepting this coin must know the price of bitcoin.
4. Return of change - You buy stuff worth 15$ and your physical bitcoin is worth 23,52$, so how can we make this work? Today there is still big dominance by FIAT currencies. So they can't just be canceled today. And I think we could use them very good in solving problem of returning the change. You would just simply return him FIAT currency. It would be also possible to return physical bitcoin + FIAT money. You buy thing for 15$, pay it with 23,52$ worth of BTC they can return you 8,52$ or you get back 6,52 worth of BTC and 2$.
5. Legal problems - If people would start using bitcoins a lot more, governments/banks would definitely interfere in it with some regulations, prohibitions etc. I think good concept of physical bitcoin would raise it's use a lot. So we can only imagine what would/will happen.
6. Hand to hand - You can't send physical bitcoin over the internet. The people involved in transaction must be at the same place. Of course this is not really a problem, as you can just get private key and send BTC to your digital wallet.

Advantages:
1. No fees - Only fee it would be paid would be in the process of making physical bitcoin and when you would send BTC from the physical bitcoin. And both of these fees can be at minimum, because there is no need to hurry. When you are spending physical bitcoin there is no fee required. The only fee could be from the person who receive bitcoins as payments. 5
2. Simplicity - It would finally become simple for old grandpa or grandma to use Bitcoin. No wallet, no computer, no explaining, no electricity...
3. No need to understand everything - We don't understand all the things we use everyday (how computers work, how internet works, how cars work...) but we still use them with no concerns. So it should become same with Bitcoin, we just need to make thing so simple that anyone can use without understanding it. And physical bitcoin is a big step towards this goal.
4. Good advertisement - If anyone can use BTC as payment method with ease it is very good for Bitcoin.
5. Interest - You can start to explain about Bitcoin, blockchain with something to show. Now only people who can use computer are able to operate with bitcoins. If you have something to hold anyone can start from there. This would in my opinion raise interest in blockchain technology a lot.
6. Secure - If coins would be safe (disadvantage n.1) this would be really safe currency to use. It would actually be backed with blockchain technology which we know is impossible to break, for now.

So what are your thought about physical bitcoin? Is this the future of Bitcoin?

1 Can someone post link where you could see average fees in BTC per byte over the time.
2 I don't understand technology behind this solutions yet, so I can't comment on that and predict it's effectiveness.
3 This is the idea I have about physical bitcoins, please correct me if I am wrong.
4 Is this information correct?
5 The person receiving coins can set fee. Example: Paying with bitcoins increase price for 3%. This fees are mostly set because of volatility of bitcoin, which should decrease over time so these fees will get smaller and smaller, until 0.

Please correct me, add disadvantages/advantages, answer, explain...

P.S. I don't want worthless spam in this topic. So I will delete posts which won't be constructive and make topic hard to read. This first post will probably get edited!
