1021  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: KYC propagation beyond my ownership on: July 01, 2023, 04:18:58 PM
If you are really afraid of this, you can either :

-use a P2P service for the original purchase of your BTC, without KYC, so you don't have to worry about all that.
-or use a coin mixer before sending it to your friend, but you risk to flag the coins doing that

Thanks for the reply. And for the pointer to kycnot.me (and others).

I'm curious if coins obtained from all non-KYC sources of Bitcoin are equally at risk of being "flagged". Say I buy some Bitcoin off Bisq. Is there a risk I might never be able to send it to a CEX or other "government compliant" entity as it's flagged? In an ideal world everything would be P2P, and this would be a non-issue, but that's not the reality at this stage. Maybe I'm being unnecessarily paranoid, but these are the questions that come up as I'm trying to learn. Thanks again.

I understand your concerns of buying Bitcoin from Non KYCed marketplace so as precaution you can mix your coins before using it on any KYCed platform so the traces of those Bitcoin will be erased but we can't ensure anything that we receive from the mixer which may arise further query. However It's worth noting that even if your coins are flagged, it doesn't necessarily mean you won't be able to use them. It just means that they may be subject to additional scrutiny and investigation by exchanges or other entities that have to comply with government regulations. So if you didn't involved in any illicit activities and have the record for your income then you can survive.

I wonder how many of the forum members using bitcointalk prior knowing the Bitcoin cause we are supposed to come here yo find about bitcoin but without knowing what it is the chances of ending here is quite low.

Bitcointalk taught me various things which helped me to get stable financially after some economic crisis in personal life and over the years I understand the need of Bitcoin so that government can't control the supply of currency anymore which will seize the inflation and let the people to enjoy the money they make.
1023  Economy / Economics / Re: Ignore this Classic Business Law or Follow Your Instincts? on: June 30, 2023, 04:07:00 PM
I attended a business seminar where a facilitator a renowned professor, and Entrepreneur shared a story on how he missed out on investing in a small fintech start two years ago which as at today is worth $500 million. He said the team had approached him to make an a investment in the start but because he did not understand how the were going to make money since he didn't invest the $100k he wanted to write them. Today, he would have been $7.5million richer had he invested.
 
They say do not invest in what you do not understand which was largely the principle the speaker adhered to but what if despite not immediately understanding the business model and its profit making model yet your business instinct pushing you to invest. What should you do? Listen to the former or follow your instincts?
Go with the classic rule, don't invest on anything you don't understand or convinced enough. I remember while watching a podcast of Mark Cuban he mentioned that the founder of Uber approached him to make investment while it was a start up but he didn't believe in it and moved on but later Uber became multi billion dollar business all around the world but still Mark Cuban didn't lost anything he just missed an opportunity while if we go with our instinct everytime we will go bankrupt.
1024  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 100% win rate possible? on: June 30, 2023, 02:19:26 PM
While I was on section in my account, I was wondering if it is possible for someone to simply have a technique that gets them 100% - 98% win rates.

Knowing the game's pattern, what to bet on and what not to gamble on, the winning and losing numbers, and so on, would I still be able to achieve a 100% win rate?

If there is such technique then that Gambler will be the richest man in this planet and he can keep multiplying it just with s bet so the answer is no. Stop day dreaming and live in the reality. You can only predict the outcome with 100% accuracy if you time travel to future and see what happened then travel back into present unless there is no way.
1025  Economy / Gambling / Re: Impossible KYC Requirements - Stake.com - Withholding $6000 USD on: June 30, 2023, 06:53:02 AM
Hello,

I appreciate the support and interest in this topic. These posts rarely have a happy ending, so I don't expect one here, but I feel better having posted it. So that's worth something in itself.

I will now answer any specific questions people have posted
I will mention @Stunna here so he can tell what is actually wrong with your verification process.

It seems like language is a barrier but casino already received enough documents needed for the approval and if they still reject it then they should also give sn answer why they haven't accepted it.

Stake is not really going to scam $6K cause it's pretty small amount considering their standard in the cryptocurrency community.

Let's see is there any progress but you also can update about the issue in their Ann.
1026  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: My bitcoin transaction still unconfirmed after 20 hours , why? What can I do? on: June 30, 2023, 05:27:20 AM
I tried to transfer btc from blockchain wallet to a trust wallet but my blockchain wallet still shows Pending: 0/2 Confirmations after 20 hours passed..
Why it takes so long? What can I do?
This never happened me before.
Please help.

Current fees:

Fastest Fee: 27 sats/vbyte
HalfHour Fee: 22 sats/vbyte
Hour Fee: 16 sats/vbyte
Economy Fee: 12 sats/vbyte
Minimum Fee: 6 sats/vbyte

So you probably paid less fee than it required to get into the upcoming block so the transaction is getting delayed. All you can do is wait or try Bitcoin accelerator or else try CPFP, not sure it's possible in trust wallet and if not the import the address to Electrum wallet and bump your fee.

Does anyone else's heart sink a bit when you see this message thinking somehow your profile got deleted in the latest update or something? Lol. When you leave your browser up on your desk or even just a tab open and it exits out from the forum automatically or just the browser stopped working because of inactivity and then you try to go back on and see that message and have to log back in. I know it can't just be me lmao
I always see that when I am entering bitcointalk on my mobile browser after few hours of inactivity, I just have to click the profile tab or if it's logged out I just have to log in. It never game me any feel that my account is in any kind of trouble cause I knew this can happen when we don't have active sessions.

But it never happened to me on desktops only on the mobile browser even when I checked always logged in mark.
1028  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gospel Preachers: Is Bitcoin the Last Currency in the World? on: June 29, 2023, 05:20:39 PM
the Holy Bible says, time will come in the whole world that everyone will use ONE CURRENCY and anyone who refused to use that currency can not buy things in any store. And the way BITCOIN is, it is accepting by the whole world. And Bitcoin is growing step by step.

So far Bitcoin is accepted as legal tender in only El Salvador, and many countries completely banned the usage even holding of Bitcoin so I don't think that Bitcoin is the one which is mentioned by the Bible. We don't have to connect dots everything to the religious perspective and it's not even that clear cause it's only created by fellow humans after several centuries of Jesus birth.

The Taproot upgrade batches multiple signatures and transactions together, making it easier and faster to verify transactions on Bitcoin's network.
. So if you are using a 3-of-5 multi-sig (for example), instead of having to provide five public keys and three signatures which every other node has to verify, with Taproot you can provide a single public key and a single signature and every other node only has to verify this one signature.


I can understand that upgradation to Taproot address will make the transaction to get confirmed easier but how can we say it faster? Cause it has nothing to do with the block time intervals unless most transactions included into that block enabled Taproot so it will make the network confirmation faster than now.
1030  Economy / Reputation / Re: Tagging Accounts Sellers And Tagging Traded/Sold/Bought Accounts on: June 29, 2023, 05:46:02 AM
I like this unbiased move cause we can see there is some kind of relaxation towards the sold/bought accounts because they have some contribution to the community (basically they earned merits). But let's take the forum rule again "No plagiarism" and if someone did that they will get permanent ban, no excuse while on some exceptions they have been awarded a second chance by admin. So the same thing can be applied here or as DT community it has to be very strict?
1031  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The Importance of Identifying Different Type of Bitcoin Address on: June 28, 2023, 10:01:13 PM
I am not that familiar with Taproot so thanks for pointing out this which helped me to do some research about Taproot and understand the concept of this upgrade. I never had Taproot address since it's not available all the wallets but can be useful for someone who expect more privacy and expect fast confirmation.

But anyone can help me to understand this better

1032  Other / Meta / Re: Is it allowed to post in English in a Local Section on: June 28, 2023, 08:23:56 PM
Recently I came across a query where I suggested that We cannot post in the "All English" language in a local board or it is not recommended at least.

Yes, i know that if the posts are a mixture of English & local language, then it is fine. Even if some posts are being done in pure English, they are ok but if a person has a post history where he only insists to speak in English on a local board, what do the rules of bitcointalk say in this regard?
It depends on the local board, for example if you post an English thread on Russian board which has something related to Russia then it's probably allowed and replying depends on whether other forum members of that local board can understand it or not.

But I wonder why someone who knows the English and communicate in English is going to post only in the local board when other members can't understand anything.
1033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino on a cruise ship? on: June 28, 2023, 07:08:55 PM
Has anyone here had the opportunity to try out the casino on a cruise ship? I've heard many stories about them, and I'm curious to learn about the similarities and differences compared to land-based casinos. I'm particularly interested in hearing from someone who has firsthand experience playing in a cruise ship casino.

Specifically, I would like to know:

Operating Hours: Do cruise ship casinos operate 24/7 like their land-based counterparts?
Payouts: Are the payout rates comparable to land-based casinos?
Betting Limits: What are the minimum betting limits? I know that some land-based casinos start at $20.
Game Variety: Can I find the same range of games offered in land-based casinos on cruise ships?

I watched movies which showed cruise ship casinos near to Bangkok not sure if it's true but the I remember some movies after this thread.

Even though it may potentially operate 24/7, logically it will be fully packed on the party hours not just the whole day.
Even higher than land based casinos.
I assume they allow only the premium level customer not everyone so the minimum betting amount should be atleast over hundred.
Same as the land based casinos.
1034  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Let's find out which gambling game is the most played among our community... on: June 28, 2023, 05:54:39 PM
This poll is purely for fun, I would like to hear your opinion on the best gambling games out there, and I wonder which games are the most popular in our community. I am sure there are numerous less-known gambling games played around the world,  so if you choose "Other," please specify the game in the comments section below, and I will add it to the poll.

Let's vote and see which games we find most exciting, entertaining, or rewarding. Smiley
It would be better if we atleast have 3 options to choose because it's very hard to pick only 2, anyway I voted for dice and plinko cause that's where I mostly played along with poker but not much often as the other 2. And also sports betting should have been a dedicated poll cause it's not possible to find 1 vs 1 vs all sport betting games.

1035  Economy / Economics / Re: After Making Money In Bitcoin, How is Black Tax Affecting You Economically? on: June 27, 2023, 09:29:44 PM
If you're the one who has to feed most of the family members for some reasons then it's going to be really hard no matter what, even if you're making more money in other works like via crypto activities which may not be enough due to the rise of inflation and along with lifestyle inflation. I am not sure it will apply for the whole family but why not even if an individual who keep making more money can't feel financially stable then it works for family too.

1036  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I Use Emergency funds or Sell my Assets ? on: June 27, 2023, 07:47:57 PM
I reluctantly followed the counsel of a financial advisor to fix my finances in order by creating a budget and tracking my expenses, inflow and outflow of cash using an excel sheet. The economy has been crazy in my country so I needed to do something urgently. My greatest realization after this is that inflation all round is destroying my budget. It's been  five months now. I am torn between using my emergency funds or selling some of my assets to cushion the effect of this economic situation. What do you suggest I do?
It depends but most likely selling the assets seems the right choice to me cause this inflation is not going to stable in the short term so you need to make changes to avoid the difficulty on your monthly economic expenses.

First of all you don't keep too much money as emergency funds especially when the economy is under crisis due to inflation, so better keep them in gold so you can liquidate whenever you want. Then about the assets, it should be generating revenue for you not just simply stable and you can get returns only if you sell them.
1037  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 1.7 billion people are still Unbanked; chances for bitcoin on: June 27, 2023, 06:11:21 PM
To be honest without bank account you can't even buy your bitcoin now for example if you have $100 worth of fiat in your hand and imagine the options of buying bitcoin without owning a bank account, it's kind of close to impossible job unless you can find someone in personal and exchange the cash when they sent BTC to your address.
That's true, every Bitcoin purchases starts with the bank, unless someone give him an Asic miner and he start mining Bitcoin direct to his wallet,

You can buy Bitcoins from an ATM, you can buy Bitcoins via P2P deals, it doesn't have to be a bank!
What did the first guys that tarded bitcoin used here, banks? Not even close, there were no exchanges and things still worked.

But that aside, it shows how shallow the belief that crypto is a bank killer, so basically you can't deal with crypto if you don't have a bank account in the first place, you can't take your profits, you can't exchange it with a centralized solution conveniently, so if we go further down this path, what's the point of decentralization when all the time you're entrusting your money to somebody else?
I don't know if it's ironic or plain sad!


We can buy Bitcoin from ATM but look at OP's post he was talking about places where there isn't even banks reached so where there is no possibility of finding a Bitcoin ATM as well. P2P deals too need banks or some kind of online wallet help to make the purchase possible when we are communicating over the internet.

I am aware that decentralisation is the vital part but for now it's highly inconvenient if someone decides to boycott banks and starts to live with only crypto so everything takes time and similar to that adoption of Bitcoin too will be gradual to take over the bank's place.
1038  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is the best non Kyc exchange on: June 27, 2023, 04:23:04 PM

You can avoid this on some exchange since Kucoin doesn't require there users to submit their KYC. But they have set limits which is fine especially when you trade small amount of money and will not exceed to 1BTC a day. For now this is the best casino Exchange for no KYC needed category since they are somehow reputable exchange which operates for long years.

 Any other exchange well I can't trust them especially those new ones stating that they will not require KYC to anyone.
Using exchanges that may ask KYC at any time is not recommended for someone who never wants to go through KYC cause even if they don't seek mandatory KYC for 1BTC/day they simply ask any random day to complete KYC so until all the funds in exchange's wallet will be on hold.

It seems trading without KYC on centralized exchanges is close to impossible even we don't have lot of p2p options so we have only option is to use DEX.

1040  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Promotion methods. Dark & Bitcointalk? on: June 24, 2023, 07:46:49 PM
Hello.

We have a bit of a look at the strategy for promoting our exchange here on the forum, but we are also looking at all possible options. In general, we would like to know the methods of dark web promotion, and for a better understanding, we would like to know the differences between dark web and bitcointalk promotion (or how these marketing methods can be combined). We are also interested in why Bitcoin mixers are advertised here and not on the dark web.

I'll be back here in a few days and for the most detailed answer I'll send $30 in bitcoin. Thank you for your attention.

Before thinking about promotion you should make the things sorted out in that exchange first because I saw one of your other thread has issues related to receiving funds from an user and as the one who controls the private keys no idea of what you have to do to get the funds back.

And also I can't relate why you are comparing bitcointalk and dark web about promotions, do you think bitcointalk is related to dark web or what?

The known effective method of promoting a service on bitcointalk 8s through signature campaign for that you need enough funds to hire participants and manager.
