But should still be done in smaller increments to avoid theft and accidental loss of coins. I can't really stress this enough as anything could go wrong when sending that amount of coins to someone especially when using peer 2 peer exchanges where you are not sure if the person on the other side will keep their side of the deal. I'm not familiar with OTC but I am assuming there is a escrow process? 

By virtue of our Trust Charter, itBit's OTC process is de facto an escrow. We always act in an agent capacity. We will never take a principal position in any transaction to avoid any conflict of interest with the client.

The primary difference between an escrow transaction and an OTC transaction is the addition of an agent or buyer/seller mandates. In the escrow process, itBit acts as a neutral party to settle a trade brought forward by an agent or buyer/seller mandate. In the OTC space, itBit acts as the agent to negotiate a trade between two parties and conducts settlement.

The insurer is, at most at risk here, given the vulnerabilities of some systems and the lack of sense of security some individuals have.

Dear Gents,

For example there’s a hard wallet with an x quantity of cryptocurrency.

Bought for €50k and now worth €15 million. All hypothetical okay!!!!

Now you transfer the cryptocurrency from your nano ledger X back to Coinbase.

Whether you are trading blocks of $100,000, €10,000,000 or 2,000 Bitcoin, the OTC desk will provide you with execution and settlement services that are discreet, secure and ultra-competitive.

Progress!! I spoke to someone at the head office and they said to give them another address so they could deposit TUSD. Also, to make a small deposit of ETH in my EXXA wallet to cover any gas fees. This was 4-5 hours ago. I haven't seen my TUSD in my other wallet yet but this is progress. It looks like I might actually get back my TUSD after all🙏🤞🙏

Bittrex will only attempt to recover crosschain deposits that exceed $5000 at the time of deposit, within 7 days of the deposit and will charge a 0.1 BTC for this recovery. Recovering coins crosschain is an inherently dangerous and time consuming process.

If you deposit to a Kraken address that is not listed on your deposit page, it will not be possible for us to return the funds. It is your responsibility to ensure that the address to which you are depositing is listed on your deposit page, and that you are sending the correct cryptocurrency to it.

Well let's not make this specific.. This is ...SHOULD ANY DT1 member or any other members be editing the evidence that demonstrates THEY were clearly guilty of financially motivated wrong doing. There is NO DOUBT on the issue of whether it was financially motivated wrong doing or NOT. There was no doubt in their mind they were guilty of facilitating scams for a price.

Let's not get into specifics. This is a broad rule for consideration.

Scammers and clear financially motivated wrong doing - when the evidence is presented to the board and it is highlighted (perhaps years after the event) does it look shady to go and edit this incriminating post ??

As for technical, i guess soft-fork/backward-compatibility approach which increase development complexity and potentially add vulnerability.

The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetime.  Because of that, I wanted to design it to support every possible transaction type I could think of.  The problem was, each thing required special support code and data fields whether it was used or not, and only covered one special case at a time.  It would have been an explosion of special cases.  The solution was script, which generalizes the problem so transacting parties can describe their transaction as a predicate that the node network evaluates.  The nodes only need to understand the transaction to the extent of evaluating whether the sender's conditions are met.

The script is actually a predicate.  It's just an equation that evaluates to true or false.  Predicate is a long and unfamiliar word so I called it script.

The receiver of a payment does a template match on the script.  Currently, receivers only accept two templates: direct payment and bitcoin address.  Future versions can add templates for more transaction types and nodes running that version or higher will be able to receive them.  All versions of nodes in the network can verify and process any new transactions into blocks, even though they may not know how to read them.

I'd be interested to know if anyone actually used Ripple to pay for anything. I guess we shall soon find out - if no-one uses the service, I expect Bitpay will drop them within a year.

and on the other side the
The social/political attack vector. The 1mb base stagnation apartheid by major Bitcoin companies and devs in 2017. it was Wall Street institutions that are trying to stagnate and segregate the community and co-opt the protocol.

(1mb=controlling the protocol.. aparthied/segregation= throwing the non COREperate opposition off the network)

yes Barry silberts company that owns most major exchanges of influence and put millions into the dev teams pockets

Now the issue is that ECC is NOT "quantum-safe" meaning that a quantum computer could theoretically decrypt a user's private keys and forge transaction signatures.
Is this the end of Crypto?
I don't think so, but I'd love to hear your opinions too! (Especially the opinion of a cryptographer)

Any unconfirmed transaction in flight exposes public keys, so if a QC exists, at least moving coins around safely becomes impossible. Further, a massive fraction of the currency supply can be taken. Lastly, you likely have exposed your own pubkey already.

If there's ever evidence of theft due to a QC, and 5M BTC are readily available for the taking to such a hypothetical machine, do you think BTC will still have any value left?

What do you think Bitcoins biggest vulnerability is?

In searching for solutions that might convince people that see this as a fatal flaw for Bitcoin, I thought about dao projects that we've seen rolled out with varying levels of success and blazing flames of failure. A dao could be the perfect format for a FDICesque organization that allows holders to pay a small premium for btc protection. Without the shareholder profit prerogative the dao would be able to offer the most competitive combination of high limits for protections and low premium costs.

As of now, Bitcoin is the cryptocurrency with the most nodes available worldwide. It's been doing well with only 10 years since its inception. However, I believe that in order for Bitcoin to reach true censorship-resistance and reliability, it needs to expand in areas far beyond reach. It would be nice to have Bitcoin nodes distributed across space in order to be prepared for any catastrophic event on Earth. Imagine having Bitcoin nodes on the Moon, as well as, planets like Mars and Venus. This would allow Bitcoin to stand the test of time for generations.

However, it's yet to be proven if this solution is viable after all. What are your thoughts?

Yeah, but did you use coinbase to cash out bitcoins to USD? that seems to be the common thread among those receiving the IRS letters.

Well, the wallet was in its early alpha. Also, about what rating are you talking about? The app is in early access and doesn't show any ratings for me (AFAIK only the devs should be able to see it while isn't not fully released for production).

Compared to every other wallet in the Play Store, I can't find any other better (and their devs are nice and pro-BTC).

Isn’t POW going to kill the planet with its waste of electricity?

If the exchange broke their own policy then they should indeed cough up. The weird IP thing is a bit different. Some exchanges allow you to specify which IP is permitted. Perhaps they should be clear about that. Plenty of people log in with VPNs et al.

Coinbase Pro recently raised it's fees so high as to block out ordinary traders.  Binance kicked out USA traders.  Bakkt is not going to be too much different as they just keep raising the bar and implementing more rules and regulations, making crypto boring.  Gemini is just a greed machine too, while the people who own Gemini are already ultra ultra wealthy, and they just want to keep becoming more and more greedy.

It is just one thing after another everyday and it is all really boring news too.  Bitcoin is all just a bunch of greediness and politics now a days.  This is not a fun environment anymore.  It is taken over by greedy exchanges that are already rich, and they do not have to be greedy either, but the people who run the shows just sorta stuck on creating this stuff I guess.  It is taken over by people who's entire focus is just being greedy.

Ofcourse I am talking about using exchanges without KYC. Binance allow unverified accounts to make withdrawals upto 2BTC per day which is quite ok.

It's just the convenience that makes this a better option to some people.... the fact that they have your bank account details is already enough to know who they are dealing with. I hope people don't assume they are private or something.

For years I have been using a local service that only needs your bank account details to allow you to buy/sell thousands of euros worth of Bitcoin on a daily basis. Nothing really new to me or other Europeans dealing with euros.

I was trying to buy Bitcoin but I needed to verify my ID on every website.
Are there any websites which allow buying Bitcoin without that?
I would also prefer website that are for my region (Europe - Germany).
Thanks in advance.
