Mam pytanie dotyczące naszego forum, a dokładnie chodzi o raporty. Czy jest możliwość zobaczenia starszych raportów niż tylko sprzed kilku tygodni?
Widzę ostatnie trzy tygodnie, a potrzebuję znaleźć dużo starszy raport, bo gdzieś sprzed 3 miesięcy. Oczywiście idealnie by było mieć dostęp do wszystkich.

Tylko administratorzy mają do tego wgląd, ale nawet nie wiem czy Cyrus też czy tylko theymos. Napisz do nich.

It's almost a pattern already that poor and underdeveloped countries are the quickest to ban crypto - I wonder why? Do they feel threatened the most, or is it just lack of competences from the government?

These countries are more likely to be authoritarian, it's easier to make such abrupt and rash decisions when there aren't as many checks and balances as there are to be found in most developed democracies.

Hihi, I live in Europe  Cheesy
The thing with the can find is, unfortunately, a bit more problematic.
As you can see coin radar shows a lot of 4.9% fees and sometimes even some pretty tempting 2% which, unfortunately, are not always true as you get one fee listed on the website and when you reach the ATM you will see another thing, I personally had a really bad experience with one of the biggest ATM operators around here so I won't use their ATMs ever again
Also on that website, I have close to 30 ATMs near me, in 3 countries, lol,  as I live near the border and only 2 of them show a fee lower than 5%.

Besides, I really don't think is about the AML and more about the cost of the ATM, like rent and others and their greed.

Well, at least the ones in Poland often do usually charge less than 5%, even after increases in fees of two major ATM operators.

AML of course is going to increase costs of doing business, KYC-capable ATMs are more expensive, and the operator has to pay an external company to deal with the KYC if they don't want to spend resources on doing it themselves.

One time 5k btc or step by step? I bet you'll know answer after think a bit about this question  Wink You know nothing about person running mixer, so good, that you personally don't have a scam cap, but we talking about chipmixer.
I got an answer, so we can't prove and should just rely on some anonymous person running mixer who can simply not answer for few days if something went wrong with service. If they have enough money, why support is so poor? Hard to hire few ppl? Lol.
I don't have any 'magical' suggestion, project is not opensource or so, it's business and problem should be solved by creators of service, not by me or community, i'm not getting money from it or any profit. I just pointed to obvious problem which allows mixer operator do whatever he wants w/o being catched.
And you already agreed that the problem exists, good that they have a lot of trust here, but it's still coin laundering anonymous service running by anonymous person, don't be naive, any personal problems (family problems or so) can force him to scam some deposit and you'll not able to prove it, anything can happen and customer should be protected from it, or, at least, prove that they were scammed, with current service site they can't do it.

Inflows and outflows of bitcoins, estimate from a blockchain analysis company called Clain:



If their estimate is correct, at a given moment Chipmixer often holds hundreds of bitcoins on behalf of its users.

They can also afford to spend about $60k worth of BTC per month on their signature campaign, not hiring more customer support would be more an indication of them having trouble finding a person they could trust, than lacking money.

Any family problems to be solved with money also shouldn't be an issue, they must be making a lot of money from voluntary fees alone with their volume.

Really, @redsn0W?
Does it mean that signature will be removed with 30-days ban?
I ask because @Hhampuz still was able to wear signature with his 7-days ban.
I have an assumption that signature will only be removed if one banned due to plagiarism, for rest reasons (non-plagiarism) and different temporary bans (from 7-days, 14-days to 30-days), users can still wear signature.

If you visit his profile, you can see that he got a 2-year-long signature ban:

"Banned from displaying signatures until February 02, 2021, 08:16:07 PM".

I think some unbanned users ended up with shorter, 12-month-long signature bans.

I am not sure about the United States, but there are hundreds of Bitcoin exchanges based there and I believe that it is quite easy for the Americans to purchase Bitcoin. Anyway, for now we can ignore the US. What about Japan? Don't tell me that it is easier to purchase Bitcoins in Ghana (which doesn't have a single Bitcoin exchange) than doing so in Japan.

Not sure about Ghana <-> Japan comparison, but there aren't 'hundreds of Bitcoin exchanges'. The US has several of the big ones there, but that's it, the barrier of entry is too high.

Thanks for your answer. Yes I see they have some. I was a little confused about first send then payout.
You identify with your passport at their maschines?

No, there is no KYC, at least at the ones I've seen in Poland. There shouldn't be any KYC with the ones in Germany as well, as far as I understand German law doesn't yet say ATM operators have to do that.
1610  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Anyone experiance shitcoins.club on: September 07, 2019, 11:19:00 PM
It's a Polish company, I used their ATMs a couple times in Poland without any issues. According to coinatmradar they have 82 ATMs all over Europe: https://coinatmradar.com/manufacturer/84/shitcoins-club-bitcoin-atm-producer/

Unlike with some other Bitcoin ATMs, you can sell online and pick up the cash later by showing up with the QR code they give you when you deposit bitcoins. 
1611  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: New FATF guidelines require professional crypto consultation on: September 07, 2019, 10:15:34 PM
Definitely, but there is still a huge demand for KYC-free services. You can tell as much by the way Binance operates: They are willing to segregate their markets rather than go fully compliant. It's also basically a given that a host of countries won't be complying with the FATF travel rule, leaving the door open to non-compliant exchanges.

And that's where things get interesting. Are the Coinbases and Geminis and Bitpays of the world going to blacklist outputs from exchanges like Binance? Bitmex? Smaller altcoin and derivatives exchanges?

Sure, a major reason why Binance has a large market share among BTC/altcoin exchanges is them having lax KYC requirements. But there's a reason why more and more places are forcing their users to go through increasingly onerous KYC. Same might happen with the travel rule, some exchanges have been asking a lot of instrusive questions about the provenance of peoples' coins for a while now. Binance is already asking for KYC to participate in IEOs and for margin trading...
1612  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-09-05] Fewer People Are Sending Bitcoin to Largest Crypto Exchanges on: September 07, 2019, 09:16:24 PM
No, just no.
DEXs maybe but ATMs no, simply no. With 5% (if you're lucky) to 15% fees, nobody will sell more than a couple of mbits via those.
We're talking about people sending coins, that usually means for selling, so people who have bought them, hodl them for a while and that know how much they've paid in fees when they bought and how much those should be, not some noobs trying an atm for the first time.

Not true, you're just looking at countries with an oppressive AML regime making it more expensive to run Bitcoin ATMs. In Europe you can find ATMs selling/buying bitcoins for a 2-3% fee.

1613  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: New FATF guidelines require professional crypto consultation on: September 07, 2019, 09:05:04 PM
The US and squeaky clean services like Gemini and Bitpay will comply, but it'll be interesting to see what the rest of the world does.

If they do, that will push other companies to comply too, to be able to do business with those that do comply.
1614  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency users statistics on: September 07, 2019, 12:42:18 PM
Lol.. this look quite ridiculous. Do you want to say that the Bitcoin adoption in the United States is lower than the world wide average? And even more ridiculous is the figure for Japan, which is regarded by many as the country with the maximum Bitcoin penetration. I don't know much about South Africa, but to say that countries like Nigeria and Ghana have more Bitcoin users (in %) compared to US and Japan is pure BS.

Why are you surprised? There are more barriers to dealing with cryptocurrencies in the US than elsewhere. A lot of the countries higher up the list have citizens suffering from problems such as high inflation or capital controls so I'm not surprised they score higher. Another thing worth mentioning is the prevalence of various ponzi schemes based on cryptocurrencies in certain African countries.
1615  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What are the risks if we accept 3rd party payment while dealing localbitcoin on: September 06, 2019, 08:34:39 PM
Someone sends you fiat money from a hacked bank account, the victim reports a crime, and now you're out of the money and out of the bitcoins. If it keeps happening have fun explaining yourself in front of authorities or having your bank(s) close your account(s). That's why it's such a shame LBC no longer support in-person cash trades (except in a handful of countries, I think), there was nothing better than that to guard against fraud (at the expense of having to be relatively vigilant during the in-person trade).

In most countries as long as you pay your taxes on what you make from trading, you're alright, but as evidenced by numerous arrests in the US, paying taxes isn't enough, if you're active enough on LBC you also have to go through a bullshit licensing process and spend a lot of resources on the whole compliance BS.

As to people who got arrested because they got baited into admitting they'd help pretend-criminals commit crimes, what where they thinking?
1616  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency users statistics on: September 06, 2019, 05:24:46 PM
Based on what stats these data were given?

I read a thread where Germany contains most bitcoin nodes followed by USA which shows that more crypto users are coming from that region but we thought that China is having more miners and controlling the bitcoin.

The number of nodes might not necessarily be correlated with the number of users in a given country, node country info is based on the IP address, and many nodes are hosted in international hosting companies' data centers.

Ciekawe jak wysłać mięśniaków, żeby odzyskali dług krypto? Na adres portfela?


Jak giełda jest dobrze zaprojektowana to takie problemy się nie pojawiają, zabezpieczenie zostanie wcześniej sprzedane zanim strata przewyższy zabezpieczenie.

Dostał listę i dał pod każdym postem 4 sztuki. Miły prezent ... ale to wszystko. Prawdopodobnie ich nawet nie czytał więc trudno o wyrobienie sobie jakiś pozytywnych opinii.

Nie no, mam nadzieję, że chociaż skorzystał z translatora, żeby patrzeć co merituje. Albo coś rozumie trochę po polsku i się nie przyznaje. Inaczej kiepsko jeśliby jako merit source nie weryfikował.
1619  Other / Meta / Re: Theymos vs Roger Ver (1:0) on: September 06, 2019, 01:23:37 PM
Well at least he was man enough to apologise so I'll give him that. The censorship argument though is still biased and based on victim mentality. It's like how people complain here that they'e being censored because they've had their ref link or undeleted bump removed. They just take it personally and are not willing to see it from the other side. Bitcoin Cash isn't being censored here, or it if is I never got the memo. Just all talk of it is moved to the alt coin section because that's what theymos and many others believe it to be. He obviously doesn't but it's also obviously not the original bitcoin as much as Ver claims it to be in the original vision of.

The censorship argument comes from the fact that theymos is in charge both /r/bitcoin and bitcointalk.org, and the former is heavily moderated, so bcash fans largely congregating on /r/btc assume this forum is equally heavily moderated.

I am in support of a specific amount of time off as punishment for breaking rules (3-5 years maybe) rather than a permanent ban. Anyone who returns after that could be valuable to the forum yet.

Would you want skiddies spreading malware to be unbanned, too? Careful what you wish for Wink

It's difficult to get permabanned without plagiarizing, spreading malware, or creating an account whose sole purpose is spamming, but I wouldn't mind if old permabanned trolls were to be unbanned one day after such a long period, e.g. MNW, Goat or NotLambchop, a several-years-long break should be enough.
