1401  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stories about lost Bitcoin on: March 26, 2023, 06:27:27 PM
I 'd say the most common reason must be the loss of the seed backup. I was totally unaware. To me, everything back then, was just "my bitcoin". I was clueless, I had no idea how anything worked.

The phrase that I got in bold in your answer, is exactly the reason why I made this thread.
How did you know about Bitcoin in the first place? I've seen many users do more or less the same thing, just buy Bitcoin and then never learn more about it, which results in a loss of coins or something similar. Personally, after hearing about bitcoin for the first time, what I did was learning stuff like how to store it, which device can I use, etc. It is really surprising to me that you just buy and assume it will work out in the end.

Back in Feb 2020, I gave my seed phrase to someone on twitter. The convinced me the seed phrase was equal to my address and that they needed it to send me bitcoin.
Is he still around? What led you to know them/interact with them through Twitter? 2020 is around the last bear market, I'm surprised you got scammed through Twitter instead of Telegram. IIRC, Telegram scammers are more active at that time if my memory serves me correctly.

Is this the same thing that happened with Amazon's MMO game where it bricks some Nvidia cards? IIRC, the issue is also related to uncapped FPS in the main menu, kind of wild that the same thing happened again. I thought either Nvidia or the game developer will fix it. I don't think it is hard that to put a cap on FPS from the driver or even the game itself no?

The bricking claims seem to be overhyped, as usual. Crashing is a normal protection mechanism.
Some claim that the GPU is dead though, as it no longer works after the crash. Not sure how reliable that claim is though. IIRC some people also claim the same thing when New World comes out, it is word investigating at least if more reports show up.
1403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chasing looses Vs Finding closure: Any difference? on: March 26, 2023, 02:56:43 PM
I really need a clarification on this. Is chasing looses in gambling same as looking for closure because i recently read an article on reddit where the poster said that he will gamble untill he wins just to look for closure. I have been thinking about this for sometime now because closure has the same characteristics with chasing looses which is even when the gambler is loosing he will still be gambling just to recover all his looses.
I don't think you can classify a Reddit post as an article. It's like referring to some threads on this forum as news. Just take a look at that thread and you can see more or less the same comment about OP's decision. It is clear that OP is addicted to gambling and he probably won't quit until something worse happens, which is unfortunate.

If you share the same opinion as him, I suggest you take a break and rethink it. You can't get closure by keep gambling your money away, if you already lose too much then stop and quit, look for jobs, and save/invest your money in BTC or other things. That is arguably better than spending your money continuously without thinking about your life.

1406  Local / Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian) / Re: [Berita] Chipmixer disita !!! on: March 26, 2023, 11:54:27 AM
Masalah kong-kalikong atau kerjasama dengan pelaku kejahatan, Saya kira itu masih tanda tanya, dan itu perlu pembuktian lebih lanjut, kita tidak bisa menuduh tanpa ada pembuktian, karena tidak ada yang mengetahui secara pasti apakah pelaku kejahatan tersebut melakukan money laundry langsung di chipmixer atau secara pribadi dengan Nguyen?.
Kalau laporan yang diberikan sama pemerintah US bisa dipercaya dan ane tidak salah paham, maka Nguyen sebagai pemilik Chipmixer diklaim tahu kalau ada yang ingin menggunakan mixer miliknya untuk melakukan pencucian uang (lewat pengiriman pesan), dan atas alasan inilah dia dianggap melakukan tindak kejahatan. Meskipun dia menolak memfasitilitasi pun (dengan menjawab tidak lewat PM atau media pesan yang saat itu dipake oleh agen untuk melacak Nguyen), ane rasa pemerintah bisa bikin alasan lain untuk melakukan penangkapan, misalnya atas pendirian Chipmixer itu sendiri.

Ane rasa mixer yang lain juga punya risiko yang sama, untuk benar-benar bebas dari risiko ditangkap aparat mungkin jalan yang bisa diterima oleh pemerintah adalah dengan memberikan data/backdoor secara cuma-cuma, tapi tentu saja bakal ga ada pelanggan yang setia.

Yang dirugikan adalah pengguna yang secara legal menggunakannya untuk tujuan privasi (bukan melanggar aturan), tapi karena mixer memungkinkan tindak kejatahan maka labelnya selalu buruk dimata pemerintah.
Semoga saja alternatif lain masih bisa survive. Misalnya coinjoin atau joinmarket, masih bisa dipakai kalau tidak ada mixer yang menyediakan layanan sebaik Chipmixer atau mixer lain. Semoga saja privasi yang dimiliki juga lebih baik, jadi tidak perlu meninggalkan data sama sekali setelah mixing selesai. Lebih bagus lagi kalau pengguna bisa memverifikasi hal tersebut, walau tampaknya bakal susah untuk diimplementasikan.

Of course, we are a regulated fintech business and have certain limitations in terms of counties and territories. This is relevant for our merchants but not customers who would like to pay using our payment gateway.
Can you at least explain why those jurisdictions are prohibited? I'm seeing countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. What is the legal rule or regulation that you refer to when you ban them? IIRC, other payment gateways don't prohibit users (business owners or buyers) from those countries from using their services, so it looks odd to me. From a quick glance, it seems like you prohibit business owners from countries where using crypto as a payment option is not legal.
1408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the biggest problem you think AI can fix in gambling on: March 25, 2023, 06:18:14 PM
I think if casinos can give AI enough data, it can do the same filtering that humans do to detect Alt account abuse. They can also be used to identify and "red flag" money laundering strategies and patterns , so that this can be reduced.
So basically a tool like a chain analysis for blockchain transactions right? If that's what you're referring to, I'm pretty sure we can build it already without relying on "AI" or whatever the tech is called. I won't be surprised if some platforms already use this, just not explicitly explained to their users. At the end of the day, it is just a filtering process, as long as there is enough data and machine learning should be able to do it.

Now that you've mentioned this, it made me think too. If there would be AI cameras installed in physical casinos, most probably the cheating issues could be resolved and monitored closely without the help of staff lurking around the premises that could bother the other players.
I'm not a fan of over-reliance on technology, especially something as young as "AI". They should probably start with using AI to filter fake KYC registration first before implementing something like that.  If the task is simple they can definitely do it without any human intervention, as long as the filtering reference is not terrible.

Setahu ane kalau status agan berubah harusnya KTPnya juga perlu diupdate, meskipun KTP agan udah yang pake status berlaku selamanya.

1410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are Casino Sites Cheating Us? on: March 25, 2023, 02:31:29 PM
I know that some people prefer dice or slots over sports betting and it can definitely be fun to play those games, but it is exactly the impossibility for the players to verify the outcome with realistic effort that keeps me from playing it a lot and definitely not with a lot of money.
There are provably fair casinos out there if anyone is interested in checking the odds. I think it is popular enough that most people probably know which one is verifiable and which one is just using jargon to trick its visitors. In one way or another, it is even more impossible to verify if a match in a sport is rigged or not unless the user has some access to insider information imo.

But I am not even sure whether a casino is then legally forced to compensate for players' losses. Does anyone know that? Would players who got paid their winnings be forced to repay retrsopectively?
That would be a dumb move IMO. It is not like they can't recover from the loss (if they ever did). I bet the house is more or less winning regardless of the outcome of the match either way. As for compensation for those who bet on the wrong side, they'll probably give free bets or something similar. They can definitely use their ToS to prevent being bankrupt by shouldering users' 'mistakes', such as claiming that such a situation falls under "extraordinary circumstances" for example, and not the casino's fault. CMIIW.

It takes a survey of several users on the same site with the same case to draw conclusions from what you are experiencing. There is nothing to deceive and be deceived in this case. You play and lose, that's natural because in a game there are winners and losers.
Recency bias definitely plays a part to arrive at such a conclusion. I also find similar behavior outside of casino games, I think people tend to remember bad luck better than good luck, so it is not uncommon for people to feel cheated even if they know that the house will always win in the long run. That being said, as long as they can gather enough data to support their claims, any unfair platform will be exposed sooner or later.

1412  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Change address on Binance on: March 23, 2023, 12:16:46 PM
but I suspect that if you delete your previous account and then proceed to creating a new account could solve this problem. I haven't tried it yet though.
Do they even support non-KYCed accounts now? I've heard some users are even required to resubmit their KYC documents a while back. Not to mention they can simply block your withdrawal on the basis of linked IP and so on. Even if you can delete your account, I bet they still record some data and will just use that as a basis to block your new account if you don't comply with their rules. If there are other options OP should probably take that instead of risking his money and playing hide and seek with Binance.
1413  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Smart Contract for Lender and Borrower: Yay or Nay? on: March 23, 2023, 11:10:45 AM
I understand that from the perspective of bitcoin maximalists, PoS blockchains don't have enough trust with their censorship and anonymity issues.
Other than that, I think there are other issues. For example, compared to existing alternatives such as using a multi-sig to secure the loan (if it is a collateralized loan), your solution would add another insecure layer. If it is an uncollateralized loan, then the lender can easily solve this by limiting the criteria for borrowers. While your solution can help them reach other lenders, there is not enough incentive to take that risk compared to what we have right now. At least that's how I see it when I lend to somebody here.

The second question, the difference between other lending platforms such as MakerDAO or Aave is that they have strict policies on what collateral on what interest rate you can lend and borrow (pretty much like banks) and usually everything is contained in 1 smart contract, but in my mind, I have an idea where 2 people can create and deploy a lending smart contract with the terms that only both of them agree. I mean, without big web3 companies, they can deploy the separate contract only with the terms they mutually benefit from. For example, the minimum collateral in Oasis App is 175%, but I have seen in the bitcointalk some people are willing to accept collateral as low as 130%.
Your idea is similar to Kanpeki then. Last time I checked, not that many users are using the to borrow/lend, probably because most of the users are just looking to earn more profit by depositing funds to some lending pool instead of manually finding contracts and funding them. Try to check them out and see if you can improve on their model, who knows maybe you can find customers for alts lending.

1415  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Give one reason to pay via cryptocurrency payment getaways? on: March 21, 2023, 12:12:14 PM
Cryptocurrency payment gateways on the other hand, use decentralized blockchain technology to process transactions, which provides a higher level of security and privacy.
I'm not sure what makes you come to this conclusion. A payment gateway can still record users' data even if they use blockchain to process the transfer. For example, stuff like e-mail address, user address, volume/transaction history, etc. Do you think they also dump those data to the blockchain or something? Unless the seller is generous and uses an open-source gateway that automatically deletes buyers' info after a few days or something.

Additionally, cryptocurrency transactions are often anonymous, which can protect users from potential fraud and identity theft.
Unless you use some privacy coins, most crypto transactions provide you with pseudonymity at best. That's why services like mixer or coinjoin exist. This also doesn't solve the identity theft or fraud that you mentioned, at best it helps you get fewer phishing e-mails. If you are afraid of fraud or identity theft, the best thing that you can do is stop using a sketchy platform that asks you to KYC for everything you do. You might want to explain more if you really believe this is the case so that we can discuss it better.
1416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Random Number Generator and it's importance in Online Casinos on: March 21, 2023, 11:30:06 AM
They won’t think about their profit or loss in the gambling site.Their are lot of gambling techniques and strategies to earn from gambling sites.But such one should be created on your own,because if you copy some others.It won’t be the your profit or loss,then we don’t know whether it works fully.If you get loss,you will started to blame others for the loss.Instead of blaming others create your own strategy to win or lose from the gambling sites.
I mean, knowing how the system works, including how their randomness is generated is key if you want to build a strategy to reduce your chance of losing. Unless you're talking about sports or something similar, it is difficult to dismiss how their RNG is generated. Sure, you don't look for profit but if you play on a guaranteed loss I doubt you'll have fun either.

But RNG and other provably-fair systems are just secondary if the casino already earned their credibility.
Normally, you can find such question to a new gambling site, just to test that they are indeed implementing the provable fairness.
It is not a bad idea to regularly test whether a platform is still serving its users as promised or silently change its algorithm to favor their side more. The recent case of Chipmixer shows that even an arguably popular platform can still hide something from its customers, even if they claim otherwise. It is also a good check and balance, if we can even use that term to describe this. if CMIIW.
1417  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Kucoin Community Chain KCC on: March 21, 2023, 10:41:39 AM
As mentioned above there are many available networks at varying costs, is it the same story where only one is authentic for holding the actual coin or are the likes of Arbitrum/Optimism usable options?
It is the same thing, the real Bitcoin is on the Bitcoin mainnet, other networks just use a wrapped token with scammy BTC or shady BTC to back it up, just like fiat if you ask me. If you don't want to pay many fees, consider using P2P where you can change the transfer fee. If that's not an option wait until the mempool becomes free. Unless you use a terrible exchange that doesn't update the fee according to the network condition, that should be an okay option.

As for the tether it's a long story from another thread, I have GBP on KuCoin from Bitcoin sales which I now realise I can't withdraw, trying to switch to tether at a decent rate and go from there ... prob transfer somewhere else to go back to GBP to withdraw unless the market drops in the meantime ... all more tricky than I'd hoped!
Make sure you do some research first if you decide to use another exchange to process your GBP. I'd also check if there is any USDT to GBP P2P trade available on this forum or other P2P marketplace before you decide to do KYC on another platform. Or, you can also just buy more BTC with your available GBP if you can afford the risk (unless it is not possible for one reason or another).
1418  Economy / Economics / Re: There is more to the regulation's aim on: March 21, 2023, 10:12:37 AM
I do support them because with this the illegal outflow of the money in risk investment market can be directly minimized and governments can even track the user in entries and out entries as I will not care about it because i am not doing anything wrong in the open space. Yes, I consider my privacy a violation but when it will be regulated and in the hands of everyone then there will be alternatives to that too.
This would require you to trust the government. Personally, I don't really trust them because the people on top probably don't care about us either. Just take a look at the recent bank run and how they handled it, retail is the one who got screwed in the end. While it is inevitable, having the option to not use a centralized exchange is still a welcomed one to me, so that's that. At the very least, they don't force us to use one or two exchanges to monitor everything. If that does happen though, P2P is probably the only choice for me.

Their entire financial system is broken so why would a superior system rely on their regulation.
True, some even went as far as changing the law to make sure a bank can buy their competitor's stocks. If they can do it without any repercussions, then other regulations don't really mean much since they can just change it anyway. Even if crypto is fully regulated later on, I won't be surprised if they can change the law as long as it suits their purpose.

I'm not sure about speed, but OP should improve the listing filter. There are many projects that got listed with a presale dated back to 2022 with terrible information. For example, stuff like this[1]. There is no way a trader would use this website compared to others who have better listing information. You need to improve your service if you want to compete with them unless your target shitcoin developer who wants to market their projects as cheaply as possible.

1420  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how much money is considered as "invest only what you can afford to lose" on: March 20, 2023, 01:22:34 PM
but, i am a excellent saver(when no money in pocket then need to be a excellent saver), not waste money on entertainment, fast food, not have home to invest in for maintenance, not gone on any trips from my childhood,
Maybe you can go more practical to help you decide how much money you can invest in Bitcon or other investments. Asking questions such as how much are your monthly bills, have you planned for emergency funds (you get sick, your family suddenly is dying, etc), how much do you make each month, and if you suddenly lost your job for how long can you survive without using your emergency funds, etc. Let's say you make $500/month, has $5000 in your saving account, and your monthly bill is around $300 (food, rent, etc), so you have around $200 free money per month but you have no emergency funds. I'd say that spending $100 per month to buy Bitcoin is one of the alternatives you can do while you save the rest for emergency funds, at least for the first few months or so. This is just a rough approach though, you can also apply traditional finance rules for saving if you want to look for an alternative, such as the 50:30:20 rule.

and also please share some very rock solid points that investing in bitcoin is profitable, and non losable in long term, we don't know if other satoshi came out in 1-2-3 years later(just an less probability thought)
You can check out Bitcoin price history and the economic history of the world in general. We just have two or more bank run cases in this month so you can see how risky it is to store all of your wealth on fiat, especially if you're not one of the big players on the market. You should probably read more about Bitcoin before you ask somebody to encourage you to invest in Bitcoin. This will help you make a better decision and not blindly follow whatever the other parties tell you to do.
