I don't think it'll go too low*, I'm speculating it will stay roughly where it is right now, so no significant moves in either direction. If we see a bigger drop after February, close but not right before a halving, then I'll revise my projections to ones that are significantly more pessimistic.

*but I wouldn't bet my life on it, last low brought us back to where we were in May. Tongue

But also have risks while using an exchange with no KYC which makes payment in p2p like a source of the payment made to buy bitcoins maybe send from a hacked bank account or even can use for money laundering. If this will be the case then exchanges won't have any responsibility which makes us be accused of doing the crimes.

A legitimate concern which isn't entirely alleviated when dealing with KYC-verified entities because verified LBC accounts get hacked and sold all the time. Best to just trade in-person while taking all necessary security precautions.

If you see topics about altcoins or about CSW in wrong sections, report them so that they're moved, or post here if they aren't being moved and you think they should.

In the future we're going to see more crap like him threatening any business that accepts Bitcoin with patent litigation, to which the common response will be "damn, this bitcoin stuff isn't worth the trouble" from most parties who's business isn't primarily about Bitcoin.  How could you expect otherwise when your response to wright is "damn, this wright stuff isn't worth the trouble"?

As obvious as it should appear to be (with nChain/CSW applying for hundreds of cryptocurrency-related patents) I had never actually taken that into consideration. Many businesses, especially smaller ones may react just like that.

Closed source, no plans provided how to build your own clone from scratch, no secure element, can't find anything whether it has been professionally audited by anyone of competence.

It's nice that there's more competition, and I'd trust Binance more than a new random no-name startup, but the above make it a deal breaker for me.
1065  Other / Meta / Re: The curious case of forum's most online users on: January 03, 2020, 10:58:18 PM
The difference is that this person with 10 (or more) accounts doesn't seem to obey the "one page post per second" rule.

You're assuming all of these accounts belong to one person, and that he doesn't obey the rules. AFAIK theymos bans accounts and IP addresses of people who make too many requests to scrape the forum.
1066  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Gap between two posts on: January 03, 2020, 10:47:35 PM
Don't spam, otherwise post as you feel like it. Even if you make several posts within several minute intervals, that doesn't mean there should be anything wrong in that in and of itself. Some campaign managers may perhaps kick you out of their campaign regardless of your post quality, but you won't get banned from bitcointalk just because you were able to quickly give on-topic answers on a topic of your interest or expertise. Same with red trust which without a flag means less nowadays.

Nothing new. At the end of the day, they'll still manage to steal from some of the less cautious users with poorer English skills, similarly how Nigerian scammers are still making money despite the seemingly obvious clues of who they are.

Don’t Be Stupid

I generally contemn the concept of “civil disobedience”.  That’s just a way for “TPTB” to induce potential troublemakers to paint targets on their own backs.  You don’t win by incurring to yourself avoidable trouble for nothing.  You win by making “TPTB” powerless over you:  By keeping your privacy, appearing mostly harmless, and secretly doing whatever you wanted to do anyway.  Open defiance gets you marked for life, when you are young and idealistic; and this limits your freedom of action in the future, when you otherwise may actually have become dangerous.  The system works out neatly for itself.  Make the system irrelevant.

There are many cases where civil disobedience proved to be successful, without people willing to risk their comfortable ways of life authoritarians are more likely to push harder as they know they will face no resistance. OTOH, in the event of a violent revolution troublemakers will need safe houses owned or operated by people who don't stand out.
1069  Economy / Speculation / Re: Halving, who's closest with actual Nrs TAKE A CHANCE on the LIST !!! on: January 03, 2020, 07:20:50 PM
$8801 - 8851

I'm cautiously optimistic, I think we'll see a slow growth, but nothing spectacular, halving is mostly priced in at this point and has been for several months IMHO.

Ciekawe ile osób o tym słyszało i zdecyduje się na wypłatę środków. Pewnie będzie można wywnioskować po zwiększonym ruchu i wyższych opłatach za transakcje jeśli będzie wystarczająco ludzi.
1071  Other / Meta / Re: DefaultTrust changes on: January 02, 2020, 04:19:29 PM
I'd give it about a 9/10 IMO and think it should stay with minimal changes if any..

I'd say it's mostly working but the process of adding flags could be a bit less cumbersome, ideally all the steps to add a flag could be done on the same page.

Przydałoby się, żeby tak Bitcoin wypalił znowu do ATH w tym roku, prawda?

Jeszcze bym nie był (nadto) optymistyczny.

Wszystko co jest używane do wymiany kapitału (przesyłu wartości) i opiera się na kryptograficznie zabezpieczonej, rozproszonej bazie danych jest kryptowalutą. A rozproszenie może polegać na trzymaniu tej bazy na kilku serwerach będących w posiadaniu jednostki.

Banki i instytucje finansowe też korzystają z kryptografii i nie trzymają wszystkich danych na jednym serwerze, czy PLN w takim też jest kryptowalutą? Wink

Coinjazeera to strona satyryczna jak np. nottheonion. Sami tak o sobie też piszą:

A to trochę zmienia postać rzeczy, z tego co widzę to prąd macie tam o ponad połowę tańszy, ale nadał przy obecnych stosunkach poziomu trudności kopania do cen dużo nie zarobisz, chyba że nastawisz się na kolejny alt season w niedalekiej przyszłości, w takim razie można by zacząć od kupowania sprzętu póki nie ma problemów z dostępnością z przystępnych cenach. Ale nie ma żadnej gwarancji, że kolejna bańka dla altcoinów nastąpi.

Sprawdzałeś już ile sprzętu instalacja elektryczna udźwignie?
1075  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bittrex Global: Building Blockchain Innovation in Liechtenstein on: December 30, 2019, 12:04:49 AM
Interesting thought. I was assuming this whole time that Liechtenstein was part of the EU because of where it's located. I see now that it's not, so they are not subject to the EU AML directives. So maybe the possibility is there. Smiley

Yeah, that'd be nice not to have Binance (and now Poloniex) the only somewhat trustworthy and liquid exchanges as one of the few places without mandatory KYC. But reading the CEOs bio I wouldn't hold my breath:
Quote
Before private practice, Kiran served as Deputy General Counsel at the Department of Homeland Security, working directly with leaders of corporate America on the intersection of cybersecurity and privacy with law, policy, and technology. He held a similar role at the U.S. Department of Justice as Senior Counsel to the Deputy Attorney General.
1076  Local / Alternatywne kryptowaluty / Re: kopie ETH czy zaczac kopac cos innego? on: December 29, 2019, 10:25:23 PM
Przy polskich cenach prądu, jeśli nie masz np. nadwyżki prądu z paneli słonecznych, albo jeśli nie zaczyna się kolejna bańka, słabo opłaca się kopanie. Masz strony whattomine albo coinwarz, poza tym czasem pojawiają się jakieś altcoiny, które chwilowo są bardziej opłacalne.
1077  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: trezor 12 or 24 word recovery on: December 29, 2019, 10:14:49 PM
For a passphrase, 5 words randomly chosen from a huge word list are going to be more than enough, no need to over-complicate with exotic characters IMHO.

1.5M words (not all of them are English though) https://www.keithv.com/software/wlist/

650k words https://packages.debian.org/sid/text/wamerican-insane
1078  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bittrex Global: Building Blockchain Innovation in Liechtenstein on: December 29, 2019, 08:28:55 PM
Any chance to drop the KYC requirement to use your platform like it was possible in the past? Poloniex stopped requiring KYC for accounts withdrawing <$10k/day.
1079  Local / Polski / Re: Pospekulujmy o aktualnej i przyszłej cenie BTC. on: December 28, 2019, 04:58:49 AM
Będzie to raczej pseudo-kryptowaluta, czyli albo scam jak Petro, albo coś co i tak będzie pod całkowitym nadzorem państwa.
1080  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Poloniex revives unverified accounts on: December 28, 2019, 01:15:25 AM
Looks like I still can’t withdrawal my NEO stuck in there without a KYC. Well, I got happy for a moment. On a side note, I just took a look at NEO’s price and it’s down from $50+ to ~$5. So not that bad. Cheesy

I wouldn't be surprised if they started requiring KYC again if Binance ever started requiring it too (maybe not immediately, though, to cash on some newly made refugees from Binance), but for now their only hope to remain afloat is this reduction in restrictions.
