Want KYC free access to BTC from your bank account? You'd have to use someone else's bank account... Sadly the exchanges with big liquidity utilize bank wires to fund accounts. If you can find a local seller to give you in-person services however, you can skip this yourself. But  it's going to cost you 10% to 3% above market price because the seller also has to make it worthy.

FTT is worthless See how Bed Bath and Beyond stock was made useless and delisted? Well, for FTX, as it is bankrupt now, the FTT token is worth even less than its stock. Even in the remote scenario that FTX is up and running again as part of the bankruptcy compensation, it's very likely that the FTT token would be scrapped as it would be considered a security.

franky1 is right on resource cost though. These days you can buy an all in one mini desktop for $300 USD. Buy it refurbished and it'll be even less. There's very cheap options that will be up in par with running BTC. The current block limit of 4MB with SegWit was not shy when it comes to how resource intensive it was in 2017, but computing has progressed since then... And don't forget that back in 2015 devs were saying that even above 1MB was too much but obviously that was a lie.

So the new payment partner seems to be called PAYMONADE and you can only deposit EUR to be directly converted to USDT...



Shame there is no way to deposit via bank to keep as an EUR balance now...
EUR markets are active for binance.com but you can only deposit crypto via card under a 2% fee to have an EUR balance?

Honestly such a shame.
886  Other / Meta / Re: Services board is very hard to browse on: October 29, 2023, 06:28:02 PM
I don't think signature campaigns are the "problem" here, the "problem" is that not many other services are being offered.

[snippy]

80% of those topics is created by users with a total of 0-4 earned Merits. That tells you all you need to know about how valuable those topics are. Without signature campaigns, the Services board wouldn't be worth checking anymore.
I've been working for crypto-related businesses since 2014 and I used to be getting a lot of work here. If I post about offering services now I'll end in page three in a few hours. 2014 wasn't a time when more people were using bitcoin by any means, but what has changed since then? Better job seeking websites have come out and I guess crypto businesses tend to use these.

But surely since many big businesses are throwing so many thousands of $ in BTC every month here for signature campaigns, there must be some valuable visibility. It's just that by mixing irrelevant types of posts inside the services board makes regular users very hard to get noticed. So the measure I suggest in OP, making a separate board for campaigns, could help.  


Then again, I think more child boards/subsections are kinda-sorta needed in general, because the structure of this forum hasn't kept pace with how topics and trends have evolved over the years.  This isn't the first complaint I've read of this nature by a long shot.  Unfortunately they haven't handed me the keys to the kingdom, and it's not a democracy either. Pffft.
I kinda understand Theymos, he's taking care of many things alone for all these years. There used to be more active admins helping around but I've only seen admins go away since I came in this forum, not any additions. More boards and more mods would be a breath of fresh air.

When you hear of a forum having a board about services, what springs to mind should be posts about hiring people and looking to get hired.  

You're absolutely right! When you hear "Services" you expect a marketplace of talents and opportunities, like a job fair that revolves around bitcoin. But, lo and behold, our services board often looks more like a signature campaign parade. I mean, are we hiring crypto enthusiasts or creating a crypto keyboard warriors?

Your idea of two boards is right, but do you think it will work? I mean, aren't we going to give a tougher time to moderators? Because I'm sure you can't force people to follow the rules (what ever you write); they will do what they want to do.
Well, moderators have chosen to do a job and theymos could always opt to hire more forum users as moderators. If we could get some staff or admins to chime in about how the workload is these days it would be very insightful. However I don't think there's as much spam lately as there used to be.

The board for services in bitcointalk is literally flooded with posts about signature campaigns however. And as these posts get constantly bumped by new responses, they come on top all the time while any poor person trying to advertise their service can only post one bump a day...

A possible solution would be to simply create a new board for signature campaign topics. Let's call it Forum Campaigns for example. Review and signature campaigns can be posted there.

Another thing to maybe make the services board more lively would be to create a new section for those seeking to hire people to do tasks. This way it's easier to browse sections separately based on if you want to hire or get hired and it would also make posting more attractive due to increased visibility.

Where exactly did he say that? The linked mail was sent by several developers, but not by Peter Todd.
You are right, I think I meant to also link his commentsry but forgot. Here it is https://twitter.com/peterktodd/status/928308564208373761

It has been so long and no signs of Binance.com actually adding the payment methods they claimed they'd be adding...


This is all I see when entering my account.

The support keeps saying to keep checking periodically as it is supposed to come anytime now. Well, I can't help but wonder when is "anytime now"?
Has anyone in EEA actually been able to deposit EUR in binance.com after the announcement in OP was made?

Λοιπόν έκατσα και έγραψα τις σκέψεις μου σε ένα post το οποίο κατέληξε μεγάλο λες και ήταν άρθρο...  Ρίξτε μια ματιά:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5471530.msg63049838#msg63049838

Είναι κάπως περίεργο που αυτό εδώ το post έχει καταλήξει να είναι το πιο πολυσυζητημένο θέμα στην Ελληνική κοινότητα εδώ. Βέβαια η αντιπαράθεση τραβάει και το θέμα παίρνει πολύ συζήτηση οπότε δεν μου κάνει εντύπωση. Αλλά και πάλι, νομίζω είμαστε λίγο αποσυνδεδεμένοι απ' την πραγματικότητα του crypto στην Ελλάδα που πλέον είναι πολύ διαφορετική. Το debate για τα μεγάλα Blocks στο bitcoin τελείωσε με την εφαρμογή του SegWit. Και να πω την αλήθεια δεν ξέρω αν θα μπορούσε να ξανα ανοίξει με όσα έγιναν.

How much is the lowest floor price you can offer for your product? Can you provide the complete details of your product including the price per liters.

I want to try exporting some and sell it online but my main concern here is the shipping fee for the goods. Sending picture of your product might be helpful.
You can PM me with a way to message you (for example Telegram or Signal) and I can provide you with any details you might need.

896  Other / Politics & Society / Crypto does NOT fund terrorism on: October 26, 2023, 10:00:23 PM
What the U.S. government dubs as "global terrorism" is actually a very big part of the worldwide population. Large parts of Syria, Lebanon, all of Gaza, Afghanistan, Iran... See, the issue with this fact is that there's not enough crypto for everyone. The U.S. has fought against many countries and groups as part of its efforts categorized under the flag of "war on terror". If you ONLY take the Afghanistan operations into account, the total cost was $2.313 trillion for the United States. That alone is almost double than all of cryptos market cap...

So where do you think the money for "terrorism" comes from? Well, it's the banks again... Surprise, right?


So make no mistake. When someone tells you that bitcoin or crypto in general funds terrorism, the only correct answer is that if we're concerned about that, we should completely close down banks because they are the primary funding source for all terrorism.

Yearn finance isn't anything special these days. For anyone stumbling up on this thread you should really check out beefy.finance. It's a yearn fork but on like 20 blockchains, implementing infinitely better strategies and overall awesome, featuring any coin you can imagine too.
899  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin scaling: Revisiting the 2015 debate on: October 25, 2023, 09:51:55 PM
Bigger blocksize will be non-sense if nobody uses it. Roger Ver and his scam team, made Bitcoin Cash, a scam fork from Bitcoin source code to scam investors.

They said Bitcoin Cash is a real Bitcoin, focuses on Satoshi Nakamoto's vision. That coin has a better blockchain with bigger block size but 6 years after 2017 fork, that Bitcoin Cash blockchain is a dead chain if we compare it to Bitcoin blockchain.

Comparison of two blockchains in their network hash rates.
https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/hashrate-btc-bch.html#alltime

Bitcoin Cash is dead.
I didn't make this post to say that bcash is good. I made this post so we can look back and maybe learn a thing or two. With even Peter Todd saying that it was a waste of resources to implement SegWit without a blocksize increase, maybe it's time to accept that at least to some degree there were mistakes that were made. How else are we going to improve? Cryptocurrency isn't a race to the bottom. If we somehow prove that is trash, that doesn't improve bitcoin... We have to be more practical.
900  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Peter Thiel outed as FBI informant on: October 25, 2023, 09:27:08 PM
Probably he has been messing around avoiding taxes or something & traded information in exchange for his freedom. It happens a lot, the threat of jail is more than enough for most people to snitch on even their closest colleagues, partners. I don’t like it, it’s dishonourable, it shows what type of man you are.
It's such a weird story. The Business Insider reporters got to know from a partner of his that Thiel was INTRODUCED to the FBI, and then that same partner ratted him out. it's odd to know this series of events without context. What does a businessman have to gain from talking to FBI agents? Money? Connections? Leniency on getting caught? Who knows... Hopefully crypto wasn't affected by this because Thiel is a big stakeholder in many major projects.
