I'm curious if the phone they're talking about is for daily use like you carry them around everywhere you go. and why such important info can be found on a phone.
I would under the impression that it is daily smart phone being used the CTO. But what concerns me is that it is always online so why he saved sensitive data in there? I thought it was another case of an uninformed person relying on SMS-based 2FA but that does not seem to have been the case: https://medium.com/@pipaman/algo-capital-security-breach-aedccf9e33c2He didn't go into anymore details. Either he's embarrassed, or he doesn't know, but he must not have been careful enough with his phone (ie. used it for anything else except accessing the coins) if it got compromised. |

Wow. What a pain in the ass it must be if someone in the US is KYC verified on exchanges. Here only profits must be declared when cashing out and cryptocurrency-to-cryptocurrency transactions are excluded for simplicity's sake.

Jeszcze raz, powinniście unikać używania terminu P2P do reklamowania swojej platformy, bo to nie jest prawda i będzie powodem wielu problemów, tak jak teraz.
BitMEX też się tak określa: "BitMEX is a P2P crypto-products trading platform." Termin P2P nie musi odnosić się do technologii, może także dotyczyć sytuacji gdzie użytkownicy zawierają transakcje między sobą, nawet jeśli odbywa się to za pomocą scentralizowanej platformy. Localbitcoins od zawsze mówił o sobie 'peer-to-peer': ' LocalBitcoins.com is a person-to-person bitcoin trading site.' |

Chętnie posłucham wyjaśnienia. Już nie wspomnę o zagadnieniu licencji, o którą pytał kolega Poptok1 i że zostało, to pominięte w Twojej odpowiedzi.
Jak są oparci tylko na kryptowalutach to raczej żadnej licencji nie potrzebują, chyba że kraj gdzie mają spółkę tego wymaga. W ostateczności mogą blokować użytkowników niektórych krajów jakby innym krajom nie podobało się coś. |

Only if you could provide competitive fees when paying or withdrawing in currencies other than USD or EUR.

For example, when I was looking at 2080ti's, they where around 1.8-2.2k in Australia (depends if you buy it from eBay with discount codes, or from an official computer store), and they go for around 2.5k in Germany and Denmark.
How well did you look? A non-reference 2080ti ( https://geizhals.eu/palit-geforce-rtx-2080-ti-dual-ne6208t020lc-150a-a1909911.html) could be had for 1169 EUR which was 1870 AUD a year ago. That's mostly German stores where the primary VAT rate is set at 19%, in Denmark it would probably have been several percent more as their primary VAT rate is set at 25%. There are no import fees/duties for most electronics including computer parts when importing from China to the EU. |

Charging fee is 1%. If 1 btc is 10,000$, you will get 9,990$ for 1 btc. It is 10$ in this case. Store opens at 8:00 and closes at 22:00
$10 from $10`000 is 0.1%. So is the fee 1% or 0.1%? And you might want to edit the OP, maybe even the title of the topic. 1% isn't unreasonable so maybe you'll find more people if you let them know what's the fee. |

You likely won't be able to get amazing discounts or prices on cards around the EU markets. I know for a fact that a lot of my friends in Denmark and Germany need to pay ridiculously higher prices compared to the other countries like the US and Australia.
Denmark and Germany are literally the two countries with two highest electricity prices of all European countries. Electricity in Czech Republic costs half of what it does in DK/DE on average. We have Facility in Bosnia ready for GPUs. We are US company but we own our facility in Bosnia.
Are there any taxes/duties/VAT to be paid if someone wants to send their hardware to Bosnia? Or is it smuggled in?  |

You should absolutely be using different email addresses for different things. As well as helping to prevent this kind of thing from happening, it also increases your security as an attacker gaining access to one email account can't try to reset passwords on every online account you own, and it also increases your privacy by not linking your crypto activities to the rest of your details. Just be careful when choosing email addresses as recovery email addresses on each email account so that one compromised account doesn't result in other accounts getting hacked. |

zapominając o samych reklamach i że to właśnie one powinny być tak samo na blockchainie i jakoś zabezpieczone, żeby nie było możliwości prześlizgnięcia sie niczego, bo aktualnie samo włączenie reklam w Brave, powoduje zupełne wyłączenie wszystkich zabezpieczeń, a co za tym idzie, cały sens z korzystania z Brave . Mogliby ustalić jakieś odgórne zasady jakie reklamy mają spełniać, aby zminimalizować ryzyko. Najlepiej gdyby nie pozwalano na Javascript  Ale biorąc pod uwagę pozycję rynkową przeglądarki oraz przyszłość projektu, to nie wiem czy mogą sobie pozwolić na przebieranie i przesiewanie reklamodawców. |

If you have a good smartphone with a fingerprint/PIN lock, some AV protection and a trusted mobile wallet with an extra PIN, the risk of irreversible crypto loss is insignificant. Of course, in the event of loss or failure, backup plays a key role in wallet recovery.
A 0day exploit or a malware which the AV can't yet detect and the person who decided to forego using a hardware/cold wallet is out of their coins. |

I don't know what's the use of these cryptocurrency backed phones.
Typically enriching the vendor through capitalization of the blockchain/altcoin hype. Cryptocurrencies are mainstream enough that addressing the cryptocurrency user demographic is worth the phone companies' time. |

BAT/Brave sprawuje jakąś pieczę nad tym, jakie reklamy ładuje przeglądarka? W końcu reklamy są nierzadkim wektorem wszelkiej maści scamów z malware'em włącznie.

Fair point, but AFAIK those company don't bother unless big amount of money is involved (usually due to security concern) or user are forced to pay small amount of recovery fees.
Sure and that's understandable, same with making all sorts of mistakes when dealing with/sending altcoins/tokens, time is money and there's no reason for a company to waste and pay for their employees time every time someone makes a mistake and accidentally loses $20 worth of coins/tokens. |

no, I think that was slush's pool that returned the accidental 100 BTC transaction fee (the original thread was here on Bitcointalk, cannot remember when though). P2pool would've been a nightmare to get overpaid fees refunded, there were usually 100-200 payouts per block, where the 50 or 25 BTC reward (don't think p2pool survived past 12.5 BTC) got paid to that many addresses. They'd all have to have been paying attention (and be sympathetic to the mistake too) to refund it all! Slush's pool is still pretty big last I checked.
In 2011-2013 there were more pools that did that as such mistakes were common (I would dare say depending on the payment method employed the vast majority of pools would try to return the money), including at least one case when individual miners returned a substantial percentage of bitcoins lost to an erroneously high fee transaction from a P2Pool block. Back then most people hanged out on bitcointalk and on several freenode irc channels so it was easier to reach a large percentage of the community. I mentioned P2Pool as an extreme case, IIRC that person was lucky that several larger miners returned the extra coins they made from that block, in another case less less than 10% were recovered but there were way more miners working on that block (399) after Bitcoin has attracted a lot of people during the two rallies that year: https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1syu3h/i_lost_all_my_bitcoins_in_an_erroneous/?sort=newAFAIK there are very few cases when user send Bitcoin to wrong address or spend too much on fees and got their Bitcoin refunded.
I've heard of quite a few cases, so unless you put effort into making a well-sampled poll, you won't know what are the odds of getting the bitcoins back. And if someone has sent bitcoins to a wrong address, that's also often rectifiable if it's someone they know well enough, or a non-scammy cryptocurrency company (exchange, gamblign website, whatever), you just have to contact them. It's not the same thing as sending to 1BitcoinEaterAddress(...). |

Bitcointalk's wallet is mostly public. As far as I can remember that the public wallet does not really have 1000 BTC. Not even close. However, the main income of the forum is obviously the ads. Donations do help but I don't think they are the main source of income.
More than that, >1250 bitcoins according to the forum funds thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155000.0And that's after spending a lot on the development for epochtalk. |

How long did it take you to draw this? I'm curious, but get a "403 Forbidden".
Also got this error on Firefox, refreshing the page or copying the link and opening in a new tab helps if someone has the same problem. |

There aren't many cases where uses got their Bitcoin back after send it to wrong address or set extremely high fees, so i doubt it.
I don't think it's common nowadays because probably people are more careful and there are often warnings if the fee is set too high, but at least with high fees I remember people even getting a lot of their money back from transactions mined by P2Pool, as unlikely as that sounds. |

Apparently though, this one they outright messed up, and I don't think the $350 mil will ever get returned to them. Knowing how big Bitfinex is as an exchange entity, no one on their higher echelons has even thought of doing multisig for the funds, or it could be that they are somewhat involved in this scheme but just chose to play victim all along and the one that got arrested took all the blame..
It's fiat money which has been seized, multisig wouldn't have helped here. They need on and off ramps for fiat, but because they couldn't find a bank willing to do business with them (more transparent exchanges lose access to banking all the time), they were forced to rely on a shady intermediary. |

Do you guys really want that? Even if only mods were allowed to arbitrarily demerit posts, I think it would do more harm than good. Juicy drama being the 'harm' part.  |
