Yomix max 3 days for delay transfer which I think is good for privacy, but how affect it with Service fee?. because when I try to maximum service fee mixing level increase to max, I don't know what is the connection between Transfer delay and service fee, if very crucial what is the better setting?. is we have to max?, like delay for 3 days and fee for 5%?

To be honest, I'm not quite sure how the service fee affects the mixing level. If you click "boost" to get the mixing level to the max, changing the fee on the slide bar doesn't seem to have any effect at all. Whereas changing it on the default starting Mixer page increases/decreases the level of mixing.

I've submitted a contact form on the FAQ page asking YoMix to add an explanation regarding service fees in case this thread is not actively monitored.

4. Yes. The greater the delay, the greater the layer of privacy. It'd probably be worth it to put that in FAQs as well.
Am still having difficulty in understanding how this is an advantage.
...

It's actually simple. Imagine you want to mix say 7.2344 bitcoin. When you do that instantly, the same (or very similar) amount will appear in your other address. So even though there's no direct link between those 2 addresses, anyone analysing blockchain transactions in that period could assume that there could be a connection between the address that just sent out 7.2344 btc and the address that received the same amount a moment later.
So although they won't have any solid proof of that 2 addresses being linked, it would be hard to believe that those 2 transactions with the same, unusual amount are just a coincidence.

The more time passes, the harder it will be to make such connection. And, in this case, it'd be even better to split it between multiple receiving addresses.

So I wouldn't necessarily bother with setting any time delays for commonly occurring amounts such as 0.001 or 0.01 etc. but it's probably useful for any larger or less-common quantities.

 It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of potentially winning big, ...

That's true but I bet that what really puts people in trouble is the desire to "win back" what they lost. Usually happens when losing more than you're comfortable with. That's some weird psychological reaction that can switch you to a "degenerate" mode.

It's always best to consult with a financial advisor and/or professional help if you have any concerns about your gambling habits.

You got carried away a bit here lad. Financial advisers will not be much of a help for gambling problems.
1884  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is there restriction in purchase of bitcoin? on: January 14, 2023, 10:53:07 PM
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has a limit of their total volume supply in the market. Like bitcoin, according to Bitcoin Supply - YCharts is at current level of 19.26million total bitcoin supply.

I’m inquisitive to know if there’s any possibility that a person can’t purchase bitcoin anywhere because all the people holding the total supply of bitcoin are not willing to sell but hold them, maybe for some reasons known to them or possible pump they’re expecting before selling it.

For that to happen, it would have to be poorly distributed among only a handful of holders, because they'd have to agree with each other to hold and not to sell until a certain price point is reached (or not sell at all).

But if it ever gets to the point that there are only a small number of holders - that would mean that there was no demand and people, in general, decided to get rid of their bitcoins, meaning the price would rather be at very low levels. Plus, as mentioned above, if there's no active market - there's no value. And if people can't buy it, they'll shift their interest to something else.

What we will see though, are situations where demand exceeds supply forcing the price up. So you'll most likely always be able to buy 'some' bitcoins but not necessarily at the desired price.

Nice rant OP, but can you be a bit clearer on what you mean specifically? Have you fallen a victim to the fake Ian Coleman Bip 39 generator scam, discussed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5425314.0

Bitcoin is and never was a safe space. If you don't like the risk just stick to regulated centralised exchanges with client deposits insurance (they won't be insured with FDIC or FSCS though afaik).

And yes, we've been hearing about the crypto being banned "soon" since the beginning. Still waiting...
1886  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: huge difference in the price of BTCST on different exchanges on: January 14, 2023, 01:54:14 PM
Hi everyone,

 Why is the price of BTC on poloniex around $12 but on other exchanges it is $0.89?

Thanks

"BTCST has undergone a 1:10 token redenomination on March 15th 2021 following the STP-4 Proposal. For more information: please refer to https://btcst.medium.com/btcst-to-implement-results-of-stp-4-1-10-redenomination-the-week-of-march-15-872c9ea3d5b7"
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/btc-standard-hashrate-token/markets/

So its possible that one exchange already switched to new tokens at a rate 1:10. So the spread is 8.9$ to 12$ not 89 cents to 12$. So much lower but still a lot which can be caused by locked withdrawals on one of exchanges.

Could be it, but it could also likely be a result of an extremely low volume. According to CMC, the daily volume on Poloniex is a whopping $20.63, meaning anyone can manipulate the price anywhere they want at almost no cost at all.

Anyhow, this belongs to Altcoin discussion.

Nie no moim okiem to bitcoin jest silniejszy. W ciągu ostatnich 24 godzin zrobił +11% podczas gdy BNB tylko 6.3% a ETh 9.5%. Dominacja bitcoina (BTC.D na tradingview) w ciągu ostatnich 3 dni zwiększyła się z 41.2% do 43% (wzrost o 2 punkty procentowe, czyli ponad 4%).

Czyli tak jak było na początku poprzedniej bańki. Rośnie wszystko, ale bitcoin zdecydowanie najmocniej.

Tak, ale to tylko 24h kiedy BTC zaczął lekko wyprzedzać alty. Nie wiem też czy powinniśmy wrzucać wszystkie alty do jednego wora. Patrząc tylko na BTC i ETH, to praktycznie idą łeb w łeb patrząc na ostatnie 7 dni. Byłoby fajnie gdyby BTC się oderwał i gdyby powtarzalność cyklów została jako tako zachowana.

Wszystko idzie w góre ślicznie, ale zastanawia mnie trochę brak entuzjazmu dla tej pompy. Spora część społeczności i duża cześć "expertów" wydaje się myśleć że to pułapka na byki i że będzie to raczej krótkotrwałe. Czy to naturalna podejrzliwość po tym jak bitcoin dostawał po tyłku przez ostatni rok, czy może coś więcej?
1888  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting strategy question on: January 14, 2023, 01:12:04 PM

Indeed, it's a different thing for different people. For me personally it's around the amount of money I can earn in one day. Yes, it is still painful, losing the money you were working for for the whole day, but it's acceptable, it's not the end of the world, you know.

But that's about the money I can afford to lose without bad consequences. Talking about the money that I can easily afford to lose, than it's about a quarter of what I make per day, and that's what I would bet on the single die roll, you are asking in the OP.

That's a sensible approach that can work for you but is not universal. Obviously, for someone with a low income and a tight budget, who struggles to pay the bills (aka half of the UK right now after massive electricity rates hikes lol), a daily pay (or even just 25% of it) is probably too much.

Personally, for the sake of regular gambling, I'd define the "amount I can afford to lose" as excess (or leftover) money at the end of the month, after paying all bills and usual living expenses and also after making a regular contributions to saving/investment accounts.

But that definition and my risk tolerance would change for things like say investment opportunities with lower risk and positive expected returns. In such case I'd be potentially willing to risk any amount that won't cause a massive disruption to my life.

I don't use yet but I will do it asap when I got the salary.

I have the question?

1. Can I use YoMix with VPN on clearnet browser?.
2. what is Mixing code?, Can I mix without use the code?

[snip]

3. I've used mixer, I usually did on chipmixer, I don't know how possible if Yomix any feature we can use for free without a fee like chipmixer?

4. is transfer delay will affect our anonymity? the longer the delay, the more anonym we can get?.


1. Can't see why not.
2. Explained in FAQs:
Quote
After first mixing at [banned mixer] you will receive a unique code. With help of this code, we guarantee that you will never receive your own coins from previous transactions. Simply use this code for all your future mixing orders.
3. Mixing comes at a cost. There must be some fees, otherwise the business is not viable. If you ever see a mixing service that it's 100% free - steer clear, they're probably will take your coins or are some sort of honey pot. Maybe with exception of some promotional periods etc.
4. Yes. The greater the delay, the greater the layer of privacy. It'd probably be worth it to put that in FAQs as well.

UPDATE 12 Jan 2023

Finally Kroll made it possible to file a claim form electronically. Direct link to online file claim: https://restructuring.ra.kroll.com/blockfi/EPOC-Index

Looking at the form, it looks like it's possible to use it to amend any previously filed hardcopy forms, which could be good if you want to correct any errors or update the claim value (i.e. to reflect the ongoing Bitcoin price upward movement).

There are quite a few entities listed in "Debtor selection" section, but I reckon, for the regular users this would be:
  • BlockFi Inc. (Case No. 22-19361) - for US residents
  • BlockFi International Ltd. (Case No. 22-19368) - for non-US residents

This is based on BlockFi T&Cs:

I have read that authorities are able to track the bitcoins if they are being move illegally. For example, if a wallet was hack and also most cryptocurrency exchange would require you to show ID when you sign up.

So my questions are..

1) How are the authorities able to track our bitcoins?

2) How do we continue to remain anonymous while trading bitcoins?
3) Are there cryptocurrency exchanges that does not require our ID to trade in large quantity?


Bitcoin is a public ledger, anyone is able to track bitcoin movement, be it government or private individual. There are plenty of block explorers available. You lose you anonymity when specific address can be connected to you, so i.e. when you buy something online with btc using your real name/address or when you deposit/withdraw to centralised exchange on which you've verified your identity.

There are still exchanges that you can trade on anonymously, but usually they'll have some limits for non-verified customers.

Playing some video poker now and looks pretty buggy. The payouts don't seem to be corresponding at all to the hands you are dealt. Example - I'm making profit even if I have nothing or getting paid the same whether I get 1 pair or 3 of a kind (high cards).
The payout rate table would be very handy.

Edit: actually when you click 'hold' on the picked cards and hit 'deal cards', you'll get exactly the same cards as the first time around. So maybe it's some sort of display issue (cache memory related maybe?) where the displayed cards are not what they're supposed to be? I've seen a similar error on some poker site a long time ago.

... Only the open source code gives us some level of confidence to trust it but normal user will definitely not appreciate it because not all knew how to read and examine code.
...

Unless I'm missing something here - the code doesn't matter that much in this case, if at all. You can verify each transaction on blockchain, without the need of having any coding knowledge, and see all the auction bids there. It's more about who controls the auction addresses and whether they'll follow their own rules if the game gets serious and the bids accumulate to a substantial amount.

I'm not sure the site would be a success, even if I did create dark mode, etc.

The game is too risky and the trust required is too high.
...

Exactly. The risks of participating far exceed the potential reward.

On top of that, it lacks the entertainment aspect, that classic games with instant results have. Not only doesn't it stimulate dopamine release, but it's also probably more stressful having to check the results on regular basis for the game that could possibly go forever. Could be fun as a novelty for those who want to test it with small amounts, but not much more.

Better luck next time and try not to put fake info and AI-generated photos, instead of lending you credibility it drives people away. You're better off just staying anonymous.
