Can you (or anyone) translate to English and explain the reason for the post, and the relevance here? My Russian, no good (actually such referred-to Russian does not exist beyond google translate).
I think a google translation of the video's description is understandable - someone who lost 1 BTC on wex is threatening to dox one of wex admin's family to pressure him to return 1 BTC. |

You don't even need to install and run TOR to access .onion "scary deep web" links, you can view them with about any browser if you want to by changing the .onion to something I forget.. "Whenever you see a URL like http://duskgytldkxiuqc6.onion/, that's a Tor Onion service. Just replace .onion with .onion.to or .onion.city or .onion.cab or .onion.direct or any other domain made available by volounteers Tor2web operators Example:" https://www.tor2web.org/Terrible for privacy and you have to trust the gateway owner not to manipulate any content he's serving you. What it would do for you using TOR to login and browse BitcoinTalk is not let BTCT know your real IP, but only if you NEVER use your real IP on that account you logged into, or they gotcha..
Or to avoid informing your ISP to which domains you're connecting to. |

but there are many known attacks which can be used against Tor, plus possible 0-days against the browser, so you can never feel 100% anonymous. Qubes OS + Whonix is a pretty good alternative compared to just using the Tor browser on Windows. Also, even if you treat Tor as perfect, it's really difficult to remain consistently anonymous; for example, you might via Tor use the same email address to order something shipped to you as you use to speak out against your oppressive government, and that's a link that can be exploited. Even though Tor is pretty flawed, being far behind state-of-the-art research, it's these non-Tor anonymity failures which almost always get people. This was the case for Ross Ulbricht, for example. As I always say: if you think that you're perfectly anonymous, then you're wrong. Think of even the best anonymity tech as a light bulletproof vest which will increase your survivability a bit, not as an impenetrable wall. Ross Ulbricht made some pretty bad mistakes, if anything it's more of a surprise why he wasn't caught sooner. But some have been caught by things as seemingly innocuous (to an average person) as their writing style that could be connected to their real identity. |

Stablecoins are a slightly better option than holding fiat on an exchange (assuming one stores them on a hardware wallet), since no one can socially engineer an exchange to perform an account takeover, but it still requires the holder to trust the entities behind them not to go down, not to freeze the stablecoins for spurious reasons, and that it will be possible to exchange them back into BTC or fiat without new requirements (stringent or more onerous KYC, etc.) being introduced in the future.
The fact that they can be stored on a hardware wallet may lull some newbies into a false sense of security, so watch out.

W większości krajów świata $12 netto na godzinę to kilka-kilkanaście razy więcej od minimalnej krajowej. Na cryptotalk dla przykładu są ludzie chętni pisać posty za 1000 satoshi.
Do tego doliczyć wzrost ceny nie x100, ale x1000 albo więcej.
I inaczej wyglądają wyliczenia.

Happy 10th anniversary to everyone! I've gone through about 13 pages of the art contest thread + looked at a few of the top merited submissions on Loyce's site ( http://10yearbitcointalk.tk/), but that's it for me, even after the recent increase in merits due to being an active merit source I've ran out of merits to give. Thanks for all the submissions to everyone! |

I was browsing several topics about bitcoin here and found the term "hodler". I know it is someone who prefers to hold coins, I presume to sell it for higher price later. Sell or buy something with it, ideally only with a small portion (smaller every year as price increases in an ideal scenario). In my mind being a speculator means you agree to set the particular price(lower or higher) with other speculators like you to manipulate market participants. Am I right?
No, where did you get that idea? https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/speculatespeculatornoun [ C ] UK /ˈspek.jə.leɪ.tər/ US /ˈspek.jə.leɪ.t̬ɚ/ a person who buys goods, property, money, etc. in the hope of selling them at a profit |

Always the blame on China ofc.  It wasn't always like that, I didn't start seeing everyone trying to explain why the price is where it is due to China until ~October 2013. Six months earlier it was all about Greece, for example. |

Are there any more projected reasons for a delay? Shady companies like Bitfinex or BTC-e/Wex, even if they had/have other problems, were able to figure out things significantly quicker than the legacy legal system. Six years is a travesty of justice for those affected being forced to wait to get their coins back.

I didn't know EFF refused a Bitcoin donation for tax reasons, TIL.
These IRC conversations also show why the forum had the newbie jail for a while. It wouldn't be until 2013 when the forum faced another huge influx of new users.

We don't have our own blacklist. Atomex take all information about it from public and private sources. I can't write more info about it here. The thing is, different exchanges block coins for different reasons. Some don't want to be involved in helping fraudsters or hackers liquidate their ill-gotten gains and I don't think there's anything wrong in that, but others can ban your account if there aren't enough hops between your coins from your tx and a provably fair gambling website. |

It's been that way for years and it won't change, IIRC the only exceptions are if you had an animated avatar before they were disabled. |

Services like wallet explorers are not harming users privacy imo. Yeah... so long as they aren't sharing with anyone any information regarding their users' usage habits. And a lot can be gleaned. |

Tamten faucet 5 BTC dawał w 2010. Ale były inne, to co niektórzy nazbierali jeszcze w 2013 potrafiło urosnąć do niemałej kupki (BTC był po $15 w styczniu 2013), zwłaszcza dla osób z biedniejszych krajów, którym się może bardziej takie klikanie opłacać.

Niezależnie od cen, jak coś spadnie o więcej niż 100% to będziesz miał wartość ujemną. Jeśli chodziłoby Ci o powrót z powrotem do tej samej ceny po pompie 500%, to mowiłoby się o spadku 83.3(3)%.

Nie obraź się, ale będę tu upierdliwy  Jak coś może spaść 550% w dół ? ...cena potrafiła w kilkanaście minut pójść do góry o 500% i zaraz spaść o 550% na dół...
 Jak coś spada o 100%, to spada do zera. Jak spada o więcej niż 100%, to znaczy że miałbyś być komuś winny kasę - czego kryptowalutowe giełdy i platformy tradingowe tym bardziej z oczywistych powodów starają się unikać. |

I wouldn't be shocked if there was 10 in a row 1x bursts and I wouldn't be shocked 10 in a row 100x neither, now it doesn't mean they "will" happen but it means "if" they happened there has been so many bets, like literally millions of bets, that it would be only natural to have weird games happening here and there if they happen. However people just don't realize the winning ones as easily as the losing ones.
Both ten 1.00x and ten 100x busts in a row are equally (un)likely, (0.01)^10 = 1e20. There were 2.5e6 games since January 2018 (announcement date of bustabit v2). Shiba tells me the longest streak of busts above 9.99 lasted for six games: Seen 6 streak in games #954051 - #954056: 12x, 32.77x, 50.28x, 17.07x, 11.4x, 110.08x (1,590,329 games ago, 1y 1M 18d 11h 39m 22s ago) And the longest streak of games busting at 1.00x: Seen 4 streak in games #1066857 - #1066860: 1x, 1x, 1x, 1x (1,477,530 games ago, 1y 20d 4h 26m 41s ago) |

Anyone can start scraping this forum, the barrier of entry is very low. The barrier of entry to start a company similar to Chainalysis is much higher, probably in the order of hundreds of thousands of dollars in salaries for a marketable MVP, ditto for camera projects like the one you're describing.

That's my theory with this controversy as well, but how would the WEX have money issues? They had fairly decent volume and looked like they were able to stay in the clear for a fairly long time.
It's very likely the FSB just took WEX's money when they were able to find a way in, there's no doubt that they are very, very interested in closing down another exchange that likely works with the Russian Mafia.
Damn though, Russia is fucking ruthless.
They had money issues because few companies dealing with fiat wanted to do business with them due to their lax KYC and a long history of allowing criminals to use their site (it's safe to assume that for all intents and purposes, BTC-e = Wex). FSB are the Russian mafia, BTW. It's likely they used the exchange themselves (IIRC there was some circumstantial evidence that they did). |

Coinbase for example holds more coins on behalf of its users than ever before.
That's due to the influx of new users, there's no indication that people who lost their fortunes on MyBitcoin, Mt. Gox or Wex aren't more cautious now. |
