There may be some fixed minimum fees when buying bitcoins with anything other than a bank transfer, with small purchases the effective fees can be very high. Contact them to be sure.

edit: in your first link it says 'Send fee 0.0005 BTC', that alone is equal to 23.59 EUR.

znalazłem ciekawego linka, który bardzo dobrze opisuje taproot i jego zastosowanie - ale niestety po angielsku Tongue

Quote
Taproot is a proposed upgrade to Bitcoin which will bring several new features and benefits to Bitcoin users. The Bitcoin community is hoping to activate Taproot in the near future, although its activation path is still unclear.
https://river.com/learn/what-is-taproot/

Najważniejszy fragment odnoszący się do tego wątku:

Quote
Since the Lightning Network relies on 2-of-2 multisig, Taproot makes it impossible to discern which transactions create Lightning channels.

Ja tam myślę, że problemem jest nadmiar regulacji. KYC, AML i cała reszta tego typu działań jedynie ułatwia przestępcom życie. Jakby giełdy nie trzymały tylu danych, to nie byłoby czego kraść, a tak, to są cennym łupem i stają się świetnym celem do ataku. Im bardziej są scentralizowane, tym łatwiej je powalić. Jeśli całość stoi na pojedynczym serwerze, to jest to wręcz raj dla hakerów, im mniej punktów ataku, tym lepiej. No ale kto nie widział skanu swojego dowodu osobistego w darknecie, ten tego nie zrozumie. To kwestia czasu, parę grubszych wycieków, trochę maili i telefonów od scamerów i może wreszcie do niektórych dotrze, jakie są skutki weryfikowania się na giełdach. Upadek MtGox nie nauczył ludzi rozsądku, no to może parę innych tego typu przypadków będzie pouczające.

Giełdy zwykle korzystają z firm specjalizujących się w KYC i same nie trzymają wtedy danych. Ale najczarniejsze scenariusze nie odstraszają ludzi jak nie potrafią bez giełdy zamienić pieniądza fiducjarnego na BTC i na odwrót. A tym, którzy potrafią nie chce się.

Poza tym: kiedy powstał Bitcoin? W okolicach 2008 roku. Dlaczego powstał? No właśnie dlatego, że ludzie kolejny raz się zawiedli na scentralizowanych rozwiązaniach. I myślę, że tym razem historia także się powtórzy, a świat ujrzy kolejne zdecentralizowane rozwiązanie, niekoniecznie jako nową monetę, a raczej jako ulepszenie tego, co mamy teraz.

Te kilka lat już minęło, więc można powiedzieć, że wszystko ponad to to już duży sukces.

Both accounts should also be created under different email addresses. But it can all be in vain, exchanges etc. often share information between one another.

Never heard of that. Guess that is why XMR and other privacy coins can be handy. Any discussion on the forum about it?

Not sure if it was discussed anywhere on bitcointalk but it's easy for an outsider to deduce that they're doing it with all the source of funds questions that are popular in conjunction with the proliferation of blockchain analysis services being used by so-called VASPs. Even Binance has been using them for couple years now.

Do you want to "mix" your bitcoins. Go ahead it's simple, go to this site and they will do it for you.

Want to do it yourself, yes it's more work but it can be done.
1) Find an open public Wi-Fi
2) Register for an anonymous email account
3) Setup an account with an exchange that has fairly liberal KYC
4) Setup another account with another exchange that has fairly liberal KYC
5) Send coins to 1st exchange, exchange to another coin, send to 2nd exchange, exchange back to BTC, withdraw, done.

If the 1st exchange has XMR or another somewhat anonymous cryptonight coin you can do 2 accounts at the same exchange BTC -> cryptonight -> send to local wallet -> send back to 2nd account at exchange -> withdraw.

Both accounts should also be created under different email addresses. But it can all be in vain, exchanges etc. often share information between one another.

If you don't want to wait you can start posting images right away after buying a copper membership:

Because you need to be a Junior member and to be one, you need 42 points of activity and 1 merit.

It's 30 Activity points and 1 merit.

Ta strona zaokrągla w dół do najbliższej liczby całkowitej, 1 won to faktycznie około 1,67 satoshiego. Co ciekawe jest pięć krajów, których jedna jedostka (jeszcze bez rozdrabniania się na ich ekwiwalenty polskich groszy) jest warta mniej od jednego satoshiego (Indonezja, Wietnam, Kolombia, Uganda, Mongolia).
190  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Crypto ATM questions on: April 27, 2021, 05:53:03 AM
Hmm, then they've updated this from the last time I've been around one, I was helping a friend the previous winter to buy some coins and I was in full gear, had a wind mask on my face and a knit cap as it was cold as hell in the passage from the parking lot where the ATM was, I was able to buy some 2000E (if I remember correctly!?) without a problem.

Could depend on the country but generally speaking:

Probably they are starting to feel the heat, let's be honest if at 9 AM when the mall has just opened you see 3... ladies...with a Russian accent who definitely would have needed some sleep after a rough night, packing the ATM with bills after bills, you go do your shopping you come back and they are still there taking turns and scanning their phones you know there is something completely wrong happening
Especially if you meet them two weeks later doing the same routine at the same hour. Wink

Anyhow, I know where this is going, sooner or later you won't be able to transact more than 100Euros without an ID scan, then ID blacklists, then instant reporting to the financial authority of that country, and so on and on and on...

And this is also evident from the FAQ they've added to their website where AML is also being mentioned also it still seems as if preventing fraud is what they're mostly concentrating on (there are tons of scams where the victim is socially engineered to send someone bitcoins for one reason or another).
191  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Ok so, since I am a US citizen, how do I get other coins without my info? on: April 27, 2021, 01:02:06 AM
I use coinbase which works good for me, but now I am interested in other coins that they dont offer.  Since I am a US citizen and from NY, a lot of places dont accept USD coming from here, but they will from a abroad.  I tried a debit card visa with no luck.  Furthermore I found a place that will do exchanges for the coins I want, but you get a lot less coins this way for your money.  So I guess my question is, how are you guys doing it?  I'm hitting a wall here.  Thanks.

You could look into instant exchanges or DEXes depending on what exactly you're looking for. Just keep in mind with the former a sudden request for KYC is always a possibility, even for those that ordinarily do not require it
192  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Crypto ATM questions on: April 26, 2021, 07:24:25 PM
First, monitoring persons with facemasks, sunglasses, hats that could easily go change their clothes and go to another ATM 2 km away seems futile and it's already tiresome but then again with such high limits, somebody who is forced to visit the machines that often doing that many transactions and is happily taking a hit from the fees is not working alone.
How much it would cost to have his friends pose in front of the ATM, a few beers?  Grin
I think this is more like one of those measures where they show they are trying to do something knowing that they actually are not.

With the AML laws in place they have to do something which generally means use common sense, similarly to other cash-heavy businesses, e.g. gold sellers, have someone else come in for you instead of returning after 5 minutes.

If they see someone who appears out of place, e.g. a homeless-looking person, they can ask them questions to gauge whether they aren't transacting on behalf of someone else. People wearing sunglasses are being told to take them off (a message appears on the screen), same with motorcycle helmets, so far only face masks worn due to covid-19 aren't seen with suspicion.
193  Economy / Exchanges / Re: How can Bitcoin market function without centralized exchanges? on: April 25, 2021, 03:59:55 AM
Simple answer. It wouldn't.

Decentralize exchanges are hard to use and they have low volume. Also I am not sure how you put your FIAT on them. Somebody obviously has to receive your FIAT and put it on the exchange and that's by no means "decentralized".

It would but with more inefficiencies and friction, but also with more fraud when accepting funds from stolen accounts and when dealing with con artists socially engineering third parties to authorize fiat transfers for purchases totally unrelated to Bitcoin.

People could also return to F2F cash exchanges, without CEXs it'd be easier to find people to trade like it was once possible via LBC (similar sites have a lot less users).
194  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Crypto ATM questions on: April 25, 2021, 03:41:07 AM
So, why do some crypto ATMs require KYC but others just require a phone number?
I think it has to do with either the regulations that are in place in the country that it has been installed or the "manufacturers".

It also has a lot to do with the company using it.
Shitcoin club for example is notorious for not requiring any type of document for large sums, it was up to 5000 euros and they lowered it in some countries to just 2000 (on a transaction, so nobody is keeping you from doing 20 a day) only after the scandal in Germany.

In Poland shitcoins.club ATMs still have no KYC for transactions under 15k EUR, but that's the law today, wondering how long until that changes forever. Their main competitors have a limit of 8.8k EUR but with a min. transaction size of 1.1k EUR. Not sure about other countries, but according to shitcoin.club's posts on a Polish BTC forum, they have people monitoring users through the built-in cameras to ensure they don't come back the same day to evade the limit.
195  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Expired Kraken Deposit Address on: April 23, 2021, 11:15:40 PM
In case of transactions sent to wrong addresses, they tend take a very long time to respond, so keep contacting them, but don't get your hopes up if it's a small amount.
196  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin on TV? on: April 23, 2021, 10:59:23 PM
Television is still a thing? /s

No one's going to pay to explicitly promote it without a clear goal of making a ROI, and for that there are better places. But Bitcoin has been mentioned many times in various contexts, for the first time in Jan 2012:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_references_in_TV_Shows

It stopped being updated in 2017 and I'm pretty sure that by now most people who watch TV shows have already heard of BTC.
197  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Payment gateway for casino, forex, hight risk sector business on: April 22, 2021, 03:34:00 PM
You need to actively start reaching out to prospective businesses. Here, on linkedin, on AngelList, by emailing them directly, etc. Or hire a salesperson to do it for you. Although I don't know if the fees aren't going to be too high even for most high-risk businesses, especially if they don't include cryptocurrency network fees. Cryptocurrency casinos, for example, often have house edge around 1%. If I were you I'd  probably start with contacting instant exchangers first.

I'm not sure I understand your request. You're looking for a payment processor that is willing to accept casino, forex, etc. related transactions? If so, then I don't think there is a better alternative than running your own node and coding your own thing. I don't think a traditional payment processor is ideal for what you're trying to do.

OP has his own payment gateway and is looking for customers to whom he would offer his services. CPC and CPM he mentioned means he paid for some ads which failed to yield success.

Panowie, chodzi rowniez o zasade !! Ja np. mam organiczny wstret do kazdego uzedu skarbowego, gdziekolwiek by sie nie znajdowal.
I dawanie tym pasozytom pieniedzy po prostu boli!

Aha wszystkie te bizuterie, samorodki itp. to zupelna porazka, jak wyobrazacie sobie przewiezienie tego przez granice? (to jest pare kilo zlota) Roll Eyes
Myslalem o kupnie diamentow (mozna kupic tu za BTC) ale, jest pare ale.
Po pierwsze, jak zawsze kupic latwo a sprzedac trudno i pewnie bedzie trzeba stracic Sad
P drugie, trzeba to jakos przewiezc przez granice, zdaje sie ze trzeba zglaszac wszystko powyzej $10000 a niezgloszenie to prawie pewna konfiskata,  odrobina pecha i jestem 600K w plecy Angry
No i po trzecie, co sie stanie jak sprzedalbym to w polsce np u jubilera? Czy dostalbym jakis rachunek i juz cala kase byla by 100% legalna i niepodlegajaca opodatkowaniu? Wydaje mi sie ze raczej nie ale moge sie mylic.

Wszelkie machinacje ze złotem itp. okażą się jeszcze droższe od bitomatów, o diamentach ze względu na mniejszy rynek nie wspominając. Albo bitomaty, tracisz zwykle ~3% (w tej chwili ponad 5%), albo legalnie, wtedy 19%, ale niczym się już nie przejmujesz.
199  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: High Volume P2P Trade (US citizen) on: April 20, 2021, 08:00:42 AM
But since you're talking about high volume, the story may be a bit different and you may need the money transmitting business registration.
See this story for just $56,000 on LocalBitcoins (Michigan Man Charged for Unlawful Bitcoin Exchange) It's back in 2017 but still.

Most of these sound like people running a business (i.e. continuously buying and selling with markup), and that's where all the AML and other requirements come in. That also seems to have been the case here assuming no one's lying: https://www.morrisoncohen.com/siteFiles/files/2017_10_25%20-%20U_S_%20v_%20Stetkiw.pdf

He had the charges dropped: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6182321/15/united-states-v-stetkiw/

But the alphabay part and apparently also CP found on his computer could have complicated things. Don't have a Pacer account so can't access further details.

Podatek od dochodów nieujawnionych to dokładnie 75%, poza tym odsetki/mandaty/grzywny/itd.

Bitomaty okazjonalnie mają nawet ujemne oprocentowanie, ale to bardziej tyczy się shitcoins.club, ale zwykle jest to ok. 3% względem giełdy. Zakładam porównywanie bitomatów, który w danym momencie jest korzystniejszy. Teraz np. jest aż >9%, no ale to nietypowa sytuacja.

Kupno domu za gotówkę bez udokumentowanych przychodów też wzbudza zainteresowanie skarbówki. Przychodzą i pytają skąd miałeś kasę na dom. Jak potrafisz pokazać źródło dochodu to wtedy zaległy podatek+ odsetki + mandat lub grzywna lub więzienie (zależy od kwoty). Jeśli nie potrafisz pokazać źródła to podatek 70%

Z tego co pisał to na dom by wydał opodatkowane środki, a reszta na wykańczanie. Jak nie planuje go sprzedawać przez dłuższy czas tylko w nim mieszkać to trochę inna sytuacja. Ale i tak będzie się musiał stresować przez 5, w praktyce do 6 lat czy go ktoś nie podkabluje, albo czy nie zrobi nic, co sprawiłoby żeby miał być prześwietlany. Do tego mogą być korzyści podatkowe z dokonania większych legalnych nakładów na nieruchomość. Dobrze tylko nie sprzedawać za więcej niż 1 milion w jednym roku, bo wpada się wtedy w wyższy próg o 4 punkty procentowe (powyżej tej kwoty, ale i tak). Trzeba być też gotowym, na to że w ramach nadchodzącego Nowego Ładu (z nazistowskiego Neuordnung Wink) mogą wzrosnąć także podatki od dochodów kapitałowych i praw majątkowych, więc nie zwlekałbym zbyt długo.

Ale wtedy też musisz mieć jakiś portfel na telefonie (a te też nie wiem, czy nie zbierają adresów IP).

Nie chodzi tylko o adres IP, ale bardziej o korelację wydawania środków powiązanymi z adresami, zwłaszcza jak po drodze był self-dox, np. giełda. Większość telefonowych portfeli ma niewiele wspolnogo z prywatnością Tongue

Robiąc przelewy kryptowalut musisz mieć też pewność, że żadna ich część nie dotykała nigdy CEXa.
Na chwile obecną skarbówka raczej tak głęboko nie węszy, ale ... kto wie co będzie za 5 lat ... a tyle trwa przedawnienie.

Są firmy się tym zajmujące, nasza skarbówka też pewnie kiedyś będzie korzystać z ich usług, jeśli już nie korzysta. W 2013 r. słyszałem właśnie 'pewnie za 5 lat'.
