At least they are very upfront which countries are supported under the 'Availability' link. Not a huge fan of bc.i due to frequently misleading or wrong stuff on their blockexplorer, or security issues, or changing wallet encryption schemes making key recoveries from old wallets take more time, but there's nothing wrong with competition, the lack of which is why Coinbase could get away with providing a low quality of service.

The Coinbase figure depends on whether that's all verified accounts which they've always seemed to be weirdly coy about.

If they had information worth bragging about they would have shared it, so it's fair to assume most of their users are inactive/came for free money from various promotions.

There are already people on brave forums saying they can't pass verification because they're from 'bad' countries (Iran) or they don't even know why because Uphold won't tell them. If you actually want to make use of BAT you're at the whim of an unrelated company. All this could have been avoided if they just moved to a free country line Binance did.

2. The protocol should use CPU-intensive encryption like BIP38 uses. That reduces the number of tries per second from billions to dozens.

Most commonly used brainwallets, i.e. single round unsalted SHA-256 are a terrible idea leading to loss of funds for many users, but something like a warpwallet isn't too bad if someone's really set on using a brainwallet:

Using a salt should still be recommended though.

Dlatego podałem też medianę. Kilka osób co poleciały nie zostało jeszcze z tej strony ze statystykami meritów usunięta, więc faktyczne liczby są jeszcze odrobinę wyższe.
1805  Local / Polski / Re: Ogólne rozmowy na temat kampanii sygnatur on: August 01, 2019, 04:28:59 PM
Wymieniłeś kampanie z topowej półki - jedyny problem jaki jest z nimi to bardzo mała ilość uczestników w większości więc przebicie się nie jest prostą sprawą ale z drugiej strony może to ma właśnie sens - elitarne kampanie tylko dla topowych uczestników... Jedyne co mi się nie podoba to znikoma weryfikacja uczestników, którzy np. na początku wbili się w taką kampanię i płyną na tej fali miesiącami... Oczywiście sprawdzana jest ilość ich postów, czasami pewnie również czy nie spamują wyjątkowo mocno albo czy nie dostali red trusta... Ale wielu uczestników tych "topowych kampanii" np. od miesięcy nie dostało ani jednego merita, piszą posty które można nazwać co najwyżej "akceptowalnymi" zupełnie nie starając się trzymać poziomu jaki muszą spełnić nowi uczestnicy żeby wybić się na tle konkurencji, kiedy pojawi się JEDNO wolne miejsce. W Chipmixerze też mamy dziesiątki uczestników którym udało się wbić na początku a przy weryfikacji w porównaniu z chętnymi z ostatniego naboru mieliby totalnie pozamiatane... Ale to już wybór managerów dla których taka weryfikacja czy odnawianie naboru co kilka tygodni/miesięcy stanowiłoby tylko dodatkowe zajęcie...

Nie wiem jak gdzie indziej, ale w topowej kampanii jaką jest Chipmixer DS akurat wywala co jakiś czas ludzi, w ciągu ostatniego miesiąca 3 osoby (5% uczestników) poleciały za niską jakość postów.

Średnia i mediana samodzielnie zarobionych meritów uczestników to odpowiednio 623 i 447. Jestem ciekaw jak jest w pozostałych kampaniach.

Rozwiązanie naprawdę wydaje się być bardzo proste i jednocześnie skuteczne... Skoro wymyślili coś takiego dla kasyn liczę że uda się wprowadzić podobne rozwiązanie dla giełd krypto które też z powodzeniem tną swoich klientów ;-)

Kryptowalutowe kasyna provably fair to tzw. 'industry standard' od 2012 roku. Pierwszym albo jednym z pierwszych takich kasyn był Satoshi Dice.

Ruszył handel nowego IEO na binance. Wink można było sprzedać na otwarciu z 4 krotnym zyskiem. Słabiutko w porównaniu do ERD i otwarciu na poziomie x14 ale i tak zacnie. Powoli trend się odwraca i IEO zacznie przynosić zwroty jak ICO (czyli ujemne), czy to tylko to IEO było poniżej średniej? Jakie są wasze odczucia?

Bardzo możliwe i normalne jak ze wszystkimi inwestycjami w warunkack zbliżających się do konkrencji doskonałej.

They accepted fiat money without doing adequate KYC for years, that's enough to cause them trouble. They accepted USA residents or citizens and dealt with USD, that's another thing. In 2017 they at least blocked Americans from using their exchange (or at least prevented them from sending/receiving fiat money, don't remember now), but that was too late. Vinnik cashing goxbtc and other stolen monies was probably the main thing that did them in.

Difficult to say if BTC-e was based in a singular, it's easier to list countries the business and employees were associated with: UK, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Russia (not sure about Ukraine). At least some of their IT infrastructure was in the US.

Odkąd jest wymagane Activity, aby wbijać kolejne rangi to zawsze trzeba było 480 Activity mieć, a jak merity doszły do 500 pkt. Dawniej tj. przed 2013 r. wystarczało mieć 500 postów (i niektórzy w mniej niż tydzień zostawali Hero Member).

Counts of members with good reports in the last year:

[...]

I first thought the numbers were for the forum's entire history, but if that's just for last year, what are the total numbers?

If anyone's interested, here are all time top50 reporters' lists:

as of 2016/07/01:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1532365.msg15429237#msg15429237

as of 2017/09/12:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2166379.msg21740582#msg21740582

Actually, comparing with previous numbers it looks like new numbers could be for total report counts as of 2018/12/31.

even if it were true, there's clear favoritism going on: several banks have been caught violating money-laundering legislation over the years, and many more have likely got away with it.

And yet those banks are considered "institutional", and are given an incredibly light touch punishment. Fines they can easily afford, and no individuals are held responsible, regardless of how brazen the violations were.

It's the equivalent of not bringing a letter from your parents to miss gym class, but instead of afternoon detention, detention for the entire rest of your life. With murderers. As I was saying, who do these people think they are to behave like this?

They're being given light punishment precisely because they're big enough to be institutional and carry enough clout to be protected from being taken down. It will be an interesting day if Coinbase or a similar major cryptocurrency company ever grows to comparable size and influence of legacy financial institutions, and how things are going to be handled when they are caught committing similar misdeeds.

Myślę, że tomoże być bardzo dobry biznes w Polsce, jeżeli jeszcze nie ma tak duzo elektrycznych aut. To samo było z gazem i ci, którzy zaczęli otwierać pierwsze warsztaty przeróbek na gaz, 15 lat temu.to teraz niektórzy znich są milionarami.
Nie mówię o handlu samochodami, bo od tegomamy dilerów ale sama infrastruktura, czyli właśnie parkingi z palikami, montaże  słupków do ładowania, serwisy, itd.
Jeszcze nie ma mechaników, którzy by się na tym znali i Ci, którzy pierwszi ogarną temat maja dużą szansę na dobry biznes.

Tu jest mapa stacji: https://elektrowoz.pl/ladowarki

Mało jest stacji o mocy rzędu kilkaset kW, bo z tego co kojarzę wiąże się to z dużą papierologią. Jak ktoś nie nie ma jak w domu ładować (połowa ludzi mieszka w budynkach wielorodzinnych/blokach) to nawet jak ma maks. parę km do stacji gdzieś na mieście to nie byłoby to wygodne zostawiać auto, a potem po nie wracać komunikacją miejską czy taksówką Tongue

Cena ładowania wynosi podobnie co tankowanie ekonomicznego auta w LPG.

Na samochody elektryczne nie ma chyba akcyzy i w przyszłości mają być jakieś dopłaty, a obecnie można jeździć po buspasach nimi i parkować za darmo w strefach płatnego parkowania.

Uważacie, że to wogóle możliwe, czy to tylko czysta propaganda BSV, na łamach CoinGeek?

To pierwsze. Coingeek został w 2017 wykupiony przez Calvina Ayre'a, kolesia który współpracuje bliksko z CSW. Ogólnie mówiąc, raczej powszechną jest wiedza, że coingeek to pisze pod dyktando duetu CSW-Ayre. Wink

Majority of payments on ebay and amazon are done with reversible methods, that is just how normal business operates.  Most customers are honest people that aren't looking to scam but this forum has a larger amount of nigerian scammers than usual.

If you want to be in business for real, you have to accept reversible methods like credit cards if you want to actually attract a large amount of customers.

A lot of online payments in my country go through payment processors via a payment gateway where the buyer logs into his bank account giving an authorization to a specific transfer, or debit cards are used where it's harder to commit chargeback fraud. I think it's mostly Americans who use credit cards day to day, in Europe they aren't as common.

It's also easier for a larger online store to swallow a loss from chargeback fraud, as opposed to a random person who sells a Casascius coin on eBay later to find out the buyer makes up a story and essentially gets a coin worth thousands for free.

I believe there was a mod in the india local sub that was removed from being a moderator after the exchange he worked for was hacked due to possible conflicts of interest. I believe MNW was a staff member around the time he was making offers to insure deposits of pirate40's ponzi. Also, xDeathwing was fired over a scam accusation.

IIRC there was a mod in the Portuguese (?) local board who had his account get hacked, and obviously he didn't get reinstated after that. MNW was a mod of the Korean local board, I don't remember if he got demodded for reneging on a bet or just trolling? I'm not sure if Diablo-D3 left of his own initiative or if he was demodded. And then there was Nefario.

i talk with him i can pay you paypal so seller saying you can recover your money :/

what to do here now please help me with this Smiley

Acquire some bitcoins through a cryptocurrency exchange, or through a Bitcoin ATM, and use that to buy whatever you're looking for. The risk is just way too high to accept PP, especially from a Newbie with no reputation, if you do actually manage to find anyone willing accept payment via PP from you, it's probably going to be another Newbie.

LoyceV, as I know, in some weeks.

LoyceV isn't a spammer, or he'd get booted off the Chipmixer campaign, but if you look through his posts, one of the reasons he makes so many posts is threads like this one with frequent updates, and because there's a 64k post char count limit, he has to make several posts one after another.

It does not a matter, in my opinion.
Bitvest campaign has run in the forum, for years, not recently.
I know there are some users in the forum, whom usually makes 100 - 120 posts per week, with high or extremely high quality, for their own interests, writing for fun (they likely have fun when they write their constructive posts, or simply for their bussiness).
For the rest, 60-post-quota per week is acceptable. I don't see issues with 9-10 posts per day, in average.
For campaign participants, if they spend enough time, and really concentrate on discussion, on what they write with decent efforts for each post, I do believe that they can make it, without issues.

I'd like to see which posters you have in mind who can consistently make 100-120 high quality posts per week. Most of the time it's regurgitating other users' answers at best.

Didn't they seize a part of BTC-Es hot wallets when they took the exchange down? I haven't seen much coverage of what would happen with these coins, so if they actually did seize coins, they should be sitting on dozens of millions.

They have either managed to seize at least a portion of their fiat money in bank accounts and such, or it was freezed by payment processors and/or banks they used to accept and send fiat money with, but hot wallets were unlikely to have been seized. In the end users faced a haircut (losses) of 38%, and they got tokens in exchange which for most of the time traded for around half of their nominal value.

BTC-e did do some KYC near the end if you wanted to send them fiat money, but that was too little and too late to save them. They were the go-to exchange to use by all sorts of criminals which was bound to attract a lot of attention and one of the people associated with BTC-e, Vinnik, is said to have used the exchange to launder bitcoins stolen from other exchanges including Bitcoinica and Mt. Gox.

Once you reached hero member, you already have the most fancy possible signature. And therefore there is no difference in the earnings between a hero and a legendary. At least i am not aware of a campaign which distinguishes between heroes and legendaries.

There are some ad signature campaigns which will pay a bit more more if you're a Legandary vs Hero member:
