Find a good discussion on its fundamental idea from a good book instead of Twitter/Reddit. Seeing how you don't see how companies make a profit from Bitcoin, I believe you're simply looking at the wrong place to understand Bitcoin. You can also browse around the Dev & Technical discussion on this forum. If after doing that you still don't understand or don't believe in it, then don't buy it. Nobody is forcing you to participate anyway, and if you're more comfortable with gold or other things then just buy that. Don't get trapped in FOMO.

Nobody can give you an answer. Who knows, maybe someday you will ask the same thing but you'll replace $110 with $60k. At the end of the day, it is a high-risk high-reward investment. If you don't have the means to shoulder the risk, maybe you should look for alternatives. Obviously, you can just spend $100 and then forget it for 10 years or so.

I guess some people rely on their promise that they'll get their money back since the team is working with exchanges to freeze the stolen money. A lot of people still seem reluctant to be completely self-reliant to secure their money.

IIRC, they said it affect less than 1% of their users in the past[1]. How do they even confirm it? Which number are they using to calculate this? The download numbers on Play Store?

Which auditors are they referring to btw? Are they referring to Least Auditors who suggest people stop using them in the past[2]?

That is similar to how my country regulates crypto tax. I think crypto transaction tax is still crypto tax at the end of the day, at least that's how they categorize it here if I'm not wrong. It is quite small compared to other types of taxes, don't know how long this will last though.

As far as I'm aware, Bitcoin ATM doesn't need a bank to function properly. People can buy and set up their own ATMs as long as their government allows it.

Does such a backdoor exist already? People should not store their crypto saving on a device like a phone in the first place.

Don't engage in such things. You're basically helping them to scam people. Even if legit, $20 is way too much for tasks that can be done with bots. I've seen similar tasks being paid for $5/100 reviews on other websites. If you want to find a job with low requirements for this charity thing, try to apply for a rater position or something similar.

If you want to make money here, you need some time and effort so that you can at least rank up to a decent rank. Don't know if your goal has a time limit or not, but if you want to, you can try to contribute here and look for opportunities in the future.

Edit: I just saw your other thread. Just a suggestion,  if you want to promote that donation organization you can also put their link on your profile info.

Selama ga terlalu berharap dengan airdrop fine" aja sih. Agan harus ingat kalau materi marketing kadang juga melebih-lebihkan, plus banyaknya proyek yang launch ke berbagai network biasanya ga menjamin layer 2/3 itu bakal bertahan.

Ane baru dengar itu sidechain BNB. Apa network BNB demandnya tinggi banget sampai bandwithnya ga mencukupi? Sekilas sepertinya ditargetkan buat market gaming. Agan sudah riset dalam itu produknya seperti apa?

Ini laptop gaming itu kan ya? Sudah coba dibuka belum gan? Ane lihat di tutorial replacement sepertinya baterainya relatif mudah untuk dilepas asal agan punya obeng yang sesuai. Misalnya tutorial di sini[1] (kalau ane ga salah identifikasi model laptop agan). Tentu saja ada risiko bakal membatalkan garansi sih, tapi kalau agan udah mau yolo make laptop buat mining, mungkin garansi bisa aja ga dianggap.

Ya, yang jelas semua exchange atau platform biasanya melarang penggunaan VPN. Mungkin bisa diatasi dengan menambahkan IP VPN agan kedalam whitelist, tapi hal ini mensyaratkan agan pake VPN yang support fixed IP. Kalau untuk platform P2P ane rasa juga ada menggunakan rule serupa, kecuali yang digunakan murni P2P seperti Bisq misalnya. CMIIW.

Bukannya agan udah periksa sendiri? Kalau agan bisa mengunjungi tanpa pake VPN dsm, orang lain juga bisa gan. Ane rasa aman kalau diasumsikan list blokir itu diupdate tidak secara real-time, atau ada kesepakatan lain antara Binance sama pemerintah dibalik layar.

Saya cek di salah satu thread ane yang dilock mod dan opsi move topic di pojok kiri bawah masih ada, plus masih bisa dipakai. Sementara opsi unlock juga masih ada tapi kalau agan klik konfirm bakal muncul notif kalau dilock sama mod. Ini thread[1] yang ane maksud. Dulunya ada di mainboard dan barusan ane pindah ke topik lainnya.

* Mungkin thread itu akan ane hapus dalam beberapa waktu kedepan, sekarang ane biarkan dulu biar bisa diverifikasi sama agan yang lain.

Ane rasa term server kurang tepat dipakai selama ane ga salah paham dengan pertanyaan agan. Walau bisa saja yang menjalankan node/mining rig di berbagai jaringan tersebut berafiliasi dengan "perusahaan" seperti yang agan bilang, dari stats kebanyakan dijalankan oleh mereka yang ingin mendapatkan profit di berbagai belahan dunia. Kalaupun developer membuat update yang memungkinkan kontrol sepihak dari pihak perusahaan bisa dipaksakan ke blockchain yang ada, masih ada kemungkinan banyak yang stay selama ada profit. Kecuali syarat menjalankan node berubah dari sekedar punya node dan duit yang cukup ke syarat lain seperti ngasih ID, harus diinvite sama developer sendiri, dst.

I don't think they even try to register locally though. The ban is also easy to bypass the last time I checked, with a DNS or even alternative link we can access Binance with no problems. I don't know if the government is just lazy or they made a deal on the background since they allow Binance to acquire one of the local exchanges with no notable problems. CMIIW.

What app is that? What does it mean by maximum usage, the maximum amount of RAM being used by the app? I've never seen an app like this before. Is it exclusive to your manufacturer's phone?

This is why logs are necessary if we want to find the reason why. At the very least I don't think Electrum is resource hungry for most modern devices.

I think the memory being referred to here is the RAM, not your storage memory. I doubt Electrum consumes a lot of RAM though. CMIIW.

If you do encounter similar problems later down the line, you can probably try to record the logs and submit the issues on the GitHub page. It is kinda hard to find the reason since your device can be the culprit, especially if they have some extra features like power saving mode, app blocker that doesn't work all the time, etc.

I read the article and I can agree on some points. They mentioned two main reasons why start-ups will fail, either running out of cash or getting bought by big players. Keep in mind that they specifically talk about AI start-ups, not the AI industry itself. If they define it that way then yeah, most of the start-ups will fail.

Marketing is also playing a huge part nowadays. You can see how some meme coins explode without having any different use case, for example, I believe the same thing will happen in the AI market. I mean, a smart chatbox is not exactly new, just that they become popular recently due to marketing and trend. CMIIW.

So what is the purpose of the website then? Your social media is also inactive. Checking from play store reviews I'm not really confident about your service either (some of them are from 2022, and you've yet to give a response to them as far as I can see). Your Google Play store has 10k downloads but there are no reviews, I can only say that it looks sketchy as of now.

I think the risk is related to bankruptcy and so on. If you use oversea service then it might take more effort to judge them accountable if they fuck something up. But even if you use your local exchange, it doesn't really remove the effort needed to ensure you get your money back when something happens. CMIIW.

Does this mean your government doesn't limit access to oversea business? My country used to be like that, but they started blocking domains from exchanges and other services if they didn't register locally. Some people use DNS or VPN to bypass that, but it adds another risk of being banned.

You're doing a market sell, so your order gets executed immediately. Are you familiar with market sell/limit orders? I'm not sure if I get you correctly, but it seems like you want to place a limit order instead. If you want to learn more you can read it at their help page[1].

I also suggest you continue asking on your previous threads since this is related, and make a new one if you want to ask a completely different question/topic.

Have you made their software fully open source though?

They will obviously say it is safe to update, but the main concern is not really about whether Ledger wants to hack their customer's wallets or not, but the possibility of other attacks/abuse that can happen due to their latest update afaik. Personally, the trust is lost and I'd move on to other wallets as of now until they make everything open source so others can verify their words instead of trusting what they said (which have been proven to be a lie, including the "your seed never leave the wallet"). CMMIW.

By the way, no need to make a new thread about this since the previous one is still active[1] imo.

For the product mentioned above, it seems like you can disable the card if you lose it. You can also set a spending limit for each card[1], so somebody else won't be able to drain your money. If this becomes popular, I'm pretty sure other products will have more or less the same feature. The only upside of using cards like this is basically convenience. The target market is definitely the average joe instead of those who want more control over their money.

Doesn't it depend on what payment gateway the merchant use? If they use a self-hosted and open-source payment gateway, I don't think you can say it is the same as a traditional fiat gateway. CMIIW.

Even if there is no explicit regulation that bans you from doing that, I would not be surprised if they decide to cut you in one way or another. I mean, it is just common sense. If they know you consume a lot of electricity, they would get suspicious and would think what you've done is unethical at the very least. If your definition of meaningful is not limited to generating passive income, I can see other usages such as running a node, a NAS, and so on.

Did you make it private on purpose? I don't think other GitBook websites require people to sign in to view the contents. I'm pretty sure you can make a GitBook public with some customization[1]. If you do want to share it with specific people, hence requires authentication, I'm not sure it will attract others since they can't even see any preview of the book through that link. CMIIW.
