This does raise some interesting questions about AML obligations when third party e-money/financial companies are involved.

The media reports allege that Bitfinex was being used to launder high volumes of illicit money. Shouldn't they have AML controls in place to prevent that from happening, long before multiple national police are seizing bank accounts?

Since they dealt with fiat money, they likely had such obligations. And they did (try to) fulfill them since they did ask for KYC to deposit/withdraw money, the question is did they at least do the minimum that was required of them, or did they turn a blind eye to anything they shouldn't have.

This one...um....30+ character passphrase? It's hard enough getting people to use more then a 5 or 6 digit pin. You want then to use a full 30+ character saying or group of words?

I'm not saying it would be convenient, certainly not for day to day use (but then most people aren't transacting in huge amounts day to day so they might as well keep two trezors, one without a passphrase, another with a secure passphrase they'd use only occasionally), I just said that in case someone thought no funds are safe on a Trezor, and that's with several assumptions: the attacker gains physical access to the device, the attacker has a lot of resources (i.e. willing to design and produce ASICs just to get to the coins) and the user wants security comparable to a 24 word passphrase from a set of 2048 words. And yeah, it'd actually have to be 37 randomly chosen characters.

In reality 5 randomly chosen words from a 300k word dictionary (e.g. Webster's) would still be more than enough and more user friendly. It'd also be a slightly stronger passphrase than one from randomly choosing 7 words from a set of 7776 words (long diceware word list).

anything is possible but i wouldn't hold your breath. this is an unlicensed shadow bank commingling bitfinex funds with colombian drug money, and the USA government is involved. returning bitfinex's money is not a priority---and i even wonder if fines and disgorgement will take precedent over crypto capital's creditors.

It depends on the exact circumstances, we don't have the full picture. In the US the money would probably be gone forever though.



1344  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Crypto Capital President Arrested For Money Laundering Operation on: October 26, 2019, 03:29:10 AM
Or at least bitfinex can learn from its mistakes and not entrust funds to any one entity... Why wouldn't they multisig those funds with a few other parties.

It'll be interesting to see if they get that 350 million credited back to them though.

Probably because they couldn't find anyone else. And in other countries more money has been seized IIRC.

Makes you wonder why they chose Poland. It's well known as one of the countries where crypto companies are not welcome. I remember reading about their biggest exchange Bitbay moving to Malta because it was being harassed by the authorities. I'd expect a large crypto operation to be in a more friendly country like Estonia, Malta, Germany, even Belarus.

This serves as a message that you are only anonymous as long as you don't exchange to fiat. Cryptocurrencies aren't a good for laundering.

Bitbay just moved from Malta to Estonia. I'm not sure if Germany is a cryptocurrency-friendly company, seeing how few Bitcoin ATMs they have compared to Austria: https://coinatmradar.com/countries/

fat chance. that money is tainted, tied to money laundering for drug cartels. it's no doubt gone forever.

Not necessarily, unless Bitfinex knowingly participated in drug money laundering or knew people behind Crypto Capital did, but it will probably take years to get the money back.

You can hack a Trezor using side channel attack, there are various tools for this, one is Chipwhisperer manufactured in Canada. Their CEO even demonstrated the hack in a video in Las Vegas in August this year.

As long as the funds are secured by a long enough passphrase (>30 characters should be good enough), they are still safe on a Trezor.

It's a scam. Ledger CTO (/u/btchip) confirmed it on reddit:

Not like the last line isn't a dead giveaway anyway.

It's from Dash. And at the top it clearly says "Opinion". (Nothing wrong with Dash, but maybe the news would look better if it came from somewhere else.)

It's from reddit originally.

seriously though, even one of the Lightning devs did this accidentally one time, although I don't think 4 BTC was lost (really, 4BTC? this person was taking the whole reckless thing too far)

And if that's not the worst, some of the money he lost wasn't even his:

"Sold my apartment and should work few years more to bring those money back... because some of them are not mine."

Do dzisiaj nie dostałem, żadnej odpowiedzi, a wysłałem dwie wiadomości z dwóch różnych kont email.

Jedną zaraz po Twoim poście, kiedy OP z oburzeniem komentował swoje przyzwyczajenie do maila i drugi wysłałem, już po swoim komentarzu dla pewności, że chociaż jeden doszedł.

Może zależy co tam mu napisałeś. Jak to scam to lepiej dla niego na własnym 'terenie' go rozegrać, ale jak ktoś nie sprawia wrażenia najbardziej naiwnej osoby to pewnie szkoda mu czasu. Tak jak z literówkami w mailach od nigeryjskich scammerów (419) - szkoda gadać z ludźmi, którzy nabraliby się, gdyby nie literówki, ale jak ktoś mimo literówek się nabiera, to lepsze ROI z poświęconego czasu.

Wklejam w google właśnie jego email: https://make-cash.pl/zarabiam-od-15-lat-inwestuj%C4%85c-na-gie%C5%82dzie-kto%C5%9B-potrzebuje-wsparcia-t37860/

I wychodzi, że próbuje przekierować ludzi do wysyłania kasy na jakąś platformę tradingową krzak. Nie wiadomo czy nie scam, sam za polecenia dostaje kasę. Temat nie ma żadnego związku z BTC, ekosystemem, itp., więc zamykam.

Gdyby chciał wyedytować maila z posta to ja zostawiam, gdyby ktoś googlował, to ten temat też się pokaże: "sean.monrey@gmail.com".

as its super risky to travel with your Bitcoin on you.

It's the other way around, if someone wants to mug you or steal your wallet, your money is safer if it's in the form of bitcoins on a hardware wallet as opposed to pure cash or cards.

W dodatku wbudowany thor.

*Tor

Czyli brave płaci za wyświetlanie nam reklam, które na innych przeglądarkach i tak są wyświetlane.

Dalej trzeba się weryfikować, żeby móc spieniężyć to co się zarobi? Pomysł mi się bardzo podoba, ale wymaganie dokumentów albo blokowanie niektórych krajów, żeby w pełni korzystać z platformy jest słabe, szczególnie że mowa o przeglądarce, która niby ma stawiać na prywatność.

Szczerze mówiąc wiele z tych propozycji, jakie maja w mapie nawet nie rozumiem i trzeba by bliżej o tym poczytać żeby dyskutować na te tematy.

O to im chodzi. Im więcej technobabble, którą można jak kto sobie chce wyobrazi rozumieć, tym większa korzyść dla nich. Większość ich pomysłów już albo była przedyskutowana dawno temu, albo przynosi jakieś korzyści kosztem strat gdzie indziej.

Aż zazdrość bierze, jak się patrzy i bardzo bym chciał widzieć takie prace nad BTC.

What fee does the buyer you're referring people charge? It's the most important detail. Posting what the opening hours are would be good too.
1353  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Poloniex to Spin Out of Circle on: October 25, 2019, 02:51:49 PM
I've received the email, and as an old Poloniex customer, I have the suggestion to make to the new owners: they should pay what they've stolen to their customers!

I'm not totally sure Poloniex has a new owner, though. Could be the same guy. He couldn't find any investor in the US, but he found one in Asia? I'm waiting for more information.

One thing for sure: nobody will miss Circle.

Maybe he's just brokering the deal, or a minor investor within the investment group who helps with the acquisition.

Also, it's unsurprising they couldn't find someone in the US, but found success in Asia (China, most likely). Chinese investors are always looking to invest abroad, but they're sometimes limited, either due to capital controls in China, or countries China has trade wars with making it difficult to accept money from Chinese investors.

but not as "poloniex". that's like when a shitty restaurant hangs up an "under new management" sign. that's not drawing anyone in.

It worked for btc-e/wex.

Nic w Twoim rozumieniu, w promocji na Guardzie i Blockchain.com, wystarczyło mieć konto i kliknąć airdropa.

Na Coinbase, trzeba było mieć konto, obejrzeć 4 krótkie filmy o XML i odpowiedzieć na proste pytania w quizie na temat XML.

Można dostać dużo więcej monet takich jak DAI, BAT, ZEC, i jeszcze jakieś. Każda po 20, 30 lub 50$, ta promocja chyba nadal trwa dla niektórych monet, trzeba wejść w zakładkę EARNINGS na Coinbase.

Czyli się myliłem, zapomniałem o bc.i i Coinbase, które przecież wymagały/wymagają weryfikacji, aby się załapać + w Coinbase jakieś filmiki trzeba oglądać.

Też to miałem na myśli. Czyli rejestruję sie i odbieram co miesiąc XLM (brak dodatkowych tasków), czy po miesiącu mi wyskoczą z "polub nas na FCB. TW i napisz badziewie na BTT albo nie dostaniesz kolejnych wypłat" i tak co miesiąc (z dodatkowymi taskami).

Tak, głównie o tego typu zapychacze czasu mi chodziło, szkoda życia  Tongue

W połowie Europy tak masz, Niemcy, Francja, Rosja, itp. W jednym z wielu wymienionych wyżej przeze mnie miejsc podajesz dowód/paszport i chwilę później karta jest zarejestrowana.

Nie, nigdy żadnych tasków do giveawayów i airdropów XLM jak i XRP chyba nie było.

A tu się mylisz, ja dostałem 4 krotnie po 50 euro w promocji XLM. Pierwsza promocja to była na Blockchain.com, druga na Coinbase, trzecia w portfelu Guarda a czwarta czy raczej pierwsza to był airdrop, który sprzedałem za właśnie 50 euro. No i teraz to.

Co tam trzeba było zrobić? Kiedyś (2017) dużo więcej miałem z XLM za nicnierobienie. Przez task mam na myśli coś więcej niż rejestracja gdzieś.
1357  Local / Alternatywne kryptowaluty / Re: gdzie rozdają kryptowaluty za darmo? on: October 24, 2019, 09:40:13 AM
Wiecie, czy to jest dożywotnie uczestnictwo, czy trzeba w między czasie jakieś taski wykonywać?

Nie, nigdy żadnych tasków do giveawayów i airdropów XLM jak i XRP chyba nie było.

Jestem tylko ciekaw ile wyjdzie na osobę jak się runda zakończy.

Tak, właśnie prepaidów się to tyczy, na abonament zawsze mieli Twoje dane, każdy numer polskiej karty SIM musi być (na kogoś) rejestrowany. Niezarejestrowanej karty nie da się używać, dotyczy to także numerów, które się miało przed wprowadzeniem tych przepisów 2 lata temu.

Just a wild guess since I have no idea about the technical aspects in counting-systems: May it be that excluding specific boards are hard to implement to the automated counting performed through the Yobit-website?

Why would it be hard to implement? They'd just have to count how many times specific boards are mentioned by specific table rows. edit: on their showPosts page.
1360  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Looking for a CEO/manager for a legal anti-scam project on: October 24, 2019, 08:04:40 AM
Has your company had so far any success in recuperating any stolen or otherwise embezzled fiat money or cryptocurrencies? If there are 8 people working part-time + investors + the CEO + lawyers to support, the company has to go after medium to high-value scams. I think that means that any commission from the recovered money can take years to trickle down. And that's assuming the company (or the CEO, I presume) is persuasive enough to have the victims send him money in advance to pay for lawyers.
