Hello

Recently there has been a lot of topics created regarding privacy and security (especially new known vulnerabilities), especially in beginners & help board.
Those topics are not bitcoin related, but moderators allow them there.

I believe that a new fresh board for those subjects, probably under beginners and help board would be nice. It would be almost spam free, as those topics usually are.

I think there is no need to list  those topics I mentioned, as they are so many .. jsut take a look at the first 2-3 pages of that board.

 and I believe there will be enough traffic on such a board, which is a topic that interests most of us.

Sorry for your loss.
However, there is an important lesson here.

I know most people here are tech guys, with little knowledge about traditional investments.

One very important thing to consider when dealing with bitcoin as an investment (which is what you are doing, as you are even lending it) is to really understand its potential performance in your portfolio and the risks involved.

An asset like bitcoin which may increase its 10-20% per day has enough volatility by itself. You don´t really need to lend it for 5% interest rate a year (which is almost negligible compared to nearly 300% gains, only this year). Lending also increases your risk exponentially.

If you want fixed interest rates, you should buy bonds. Exchange your bitcoin to your local fiat and get your 1-5% per year (depending to your country). Bonds are highly regulated and nobody is going to run away with your money (possible but highly unlikely).

Bitcoin lacks regulations, so anyone can runaway with your money and you can't do anything. Authorities probably can't help you, as your coins are probably in a company in another continent.

Lending is simple not worth the risk.

Recently I discovered that some campaigns in the altcoins session make payments in eth or BTC also.
This is particularly interesting and is something to consider before joining a bounty

When the project is paying bounty hunters with eth or BTC he is actually spending money and investing in his project, not creating money out of nowhere.

Hose are the better bounties to participate , if you can't join a BTC paying campaign.

You can, just use the promo coupon BF2019

Yes, it looks like it wasn't officially announced yet. I was able to find it googling, but there may still some changes in a few days. Let's wait until November 29 which should be the Black Friday.

The problem of using those less known mail services is that they could be dead in a few years/months. Protonmail looks well established already and it will probably last many years..

Wow, that's a shady exchange. Any reason to use it?
Better to use more traditional and established ones, there are so many in Europe.

I have used kraken and bitstamp and they are fine. Old ones , high volume... Kyc obligatory ofc. Sepa deposits and withdrawal

It isn't clear which data they provide.
As it was end to end encryption, they couldn't be able to provide anything. Something is wrong here... They didn't clearly specified which data they give to authorities

I know about this alternative, However I prefer protonmail.
I would like to pay their price and have access to calendar and drive. I am impatient as well, as I am a long time proton user, and I saw all those dates and delays.

Calendar is very important to me. Recently Google killed inbox, which handled all my agenda, and I am looking for an alternative.
This is the right time to move to protonmail, as gmail Just removed the app k used the most. I will reorganize my things in a privacy friendly environment.

Sorry, don't have source of that... I am probably wrong. I will search more about it. But something about our account they must have, because they need to track how many ads and where we see them to pay. Right?

Hello all,

After having so many discussions about Privacy here in this board the past week, (specially TryNinja and o_e_l_e_o and some others) I decided to become a protonmail paid user.

It was hard to find, but it is live:
https://protonmail.com/blackfriday

5% discount.50% discount


The two year plan is about 0.009 Bitcoin (sadly, there is no discount for bitcoin payment method so far. Requested on reddit, let's see if they say anything, if anyone wanna comment there to help me, you are welcome). That's pretty reasonable, with 5GB drive.

There are two big problems for me, but I can live with them:
-Missing Calendar
-Missing a Driver app (could be web), like outbox or google drive.

Does anyone know a solution/turn around for those problems?

Yesterday Protonmail announced on twitter that they are holding bitcoin since 2014


later on they said they were holding are payments since 2014! They must be rich ny now! lol
God for us that they are making nice money to provide good service.

Once you do kyc, your browser activity and browser fingerprint are going to be linked to your Id forever .
There is no opt-out, give my docs backs. You sent them online, you can't make them "forget " you sent them

Did you know you can create unlimited "unique" addresses with your hardware Wallet, right?you don't need to create a paper wallet and be exposed to all those risks just to make a new address

For donations, many people use a vanity generator. Like 3savekids3jKhs..

There is no monopoly here. Thye are just providing a good service, they are here for a longer time, have more contacts, so people here them more.

I am participating for more than an year in a campaign not managed by any of them, which is paying more than most out there.
There are also campaigns managed by Coolcryptovalor, Darkstar_.... there are others that come just to make a few ones and disappear.

There are many risks, many weak points when considering making a paper wallet.

My suggestion is taht you make one only for educational purposes. Buy a hardware wallet, trezor or ledger. Those are the safer, they are cheap (about $ 80) and you probably never lose your money.

But if you stop rewarding users, their business model (which is genial) is gone.
We are paying to watch ads. We pay with our bandwidth, our privacy data, our time. And there are so many ads out there, which are even running internet experience, but most people doesn't even notice them anymore. Dozens of them in each website.

There is aproblem here. Additionally, there is a huge oligopoly by Google and facebook.

However, BAT business model proposes the opposite: They pay us to watch ads. They are offering us a reason to not watch those ads. So, theoretically, we would be, by using brave: - breaking an oligopoly, maximazing our internet experience, protecting our privacy, reducing bandwidth costs and making free money. That's genial, and it is one of the few projects out there which is really something, imo.

But they are going the wrong way, imo. They are not properly executing the idea.

This idea paying users to watch ads in amazing. But no kyc ffs  lol

The problem of places with no internet connection is related to broadcasting the transaction to the nodes. After the broadcast, the transaction would be in the mempool and it would be a normal transaction

There are some ideas about broadcasting bitcoin transactions via radio

https://blockonomi.com/bitcoin-transactions-radio/

I can send BAT to you if I buy that BAT.

The bat I "receive" from browsing is locked until I do KYC. I cannot withdrawal it, cannot trade it for btc or whatever.

I cannot donate that BAT to you, but to your website.

This is slightly different.

I think BAT project and the whole concept is amazing and disruptive, but poorly executed.

You can confirm that on the pop up that opens in your browser (and the image up there in the OP)

The ads are privacy respecting, but not the browser or the token... the browser will have my ID!

Brave Browser slogan is: You are not a product. It is a browser with an built-in adblock that was supposed to pay you for watching ads.

Their idea is amazing. Pay for users to watch ads. This has a great potential, and certainly can impact the whole Google/facebook business model (based on their ads).

The problem is: they are demanding KYC. You are the product, after all.

First they said that only publishers would be affected by KYC, and users who just navigate wouldn't be force to do any KYC.
This is highly questionable, however we can understand: publishers are company making money, so they could do KYC to comply with their law obligations and this could even, somehow, protect customers. I didn't like, but I can understand.

Then, few days ago Brave decided to start paying for users to browse the web using their browser. I used it for 5 days and received 0.1 BAT (0,03 USD). The amount of money is ridiculous, but well, it is free.. So i tried to withdrawal it. Look at the image I faced:

So now brave is requiring KYC for everyone. If you don't do KYC, no coins for you.

Even the money I sent to my wallet is now locked until complying with KYC? this is crazy.

Weren't they supposed to protect our privacy? Wasn't I going to receive coins for watching ads, while protecting my privacy??
How can sending documents will my privacy be protect? So the documents are the product, not me?

I was disappointed with BAT/Brave, because it  was a project with so much potential.

I hope someone else, maybe firefox, could just implement their business model paying users with BTC without kyc.

Transaction fees in this wallet are recalculated every 10 minutes (or something like that) according to network congestion, to make sure your trnasaction is confirmed in the next block or blocks (according to the priority you chose)

If the network is congested you will pay higher fees.

So, in the last 3 years, it changed about one hundred times a day.
