Also, unlike Ledger Live, it doesn't support coin control.

(Yet.)

According to their recent AMA at least it's in the works and should be added to the app next year. Kind of odd for having users wait this long and be forced to rely on 3rd party tools to use such a basic feature but at least it's coming. I wonder if it's going to be something related to or involving either joinmarket or wasabi, or something entirely else.

You might have me confused with the OP. I didn't lose anything in this affair. I've just been keeping tabs on Poloniex.

I remember the OP saying he spoke with an attorney who felt he had a case, but without a larger class action type suit the amount in question wasn't worth the legal costs.
lost coin.

You're right, I confused you two. I found a telegram link, and I saw similar things being said, ie. complicated/expensive. Apparently figuring out which jurisdiction applies is (still) a problem...

I can also say that if someone is worried about the issue of anonymity, then there are offshore cards, for example, AdvCash. Working with them, the cardholder is not threatened that the bank will be able to demand the sources of money and suspend operations with the card.

https://advcash.gi/en/aml/

Quote
5.10. The Company shall continuously conduct due diligence procedures pertaining to its Customers and scrutinize transactions carried out by them to ensure these transactions’ compatibility with the Company’s knowledge of its Customers, their business and, when necessary, their source of funds.

No surprises here, that's one of the reasons why they ask for KYC to access most of their services, and have low transaction limits for unverified users.

Just as important is to emphasise how flaky many of these card services have been in the past. Most are at the mercy of other service providers who may pull the cards without any notice.

Good point. OP could add info how long a specific service has been around.

He's hiding Polo in the Seychelles and still playing by the rules of the wild west. You think he has any interest in paying off Circle's old debts? I don't.....

Did you have any luck after contacting some lawyers that you mentioned having contacted last year? I take it that you didn't by the tone of your post but I'm still curious.

Ciężko coś napisać bez emocji. Jak patrzę na to co rząd robi, wprowadzając kolejne nieprzemyślane obostrzenia.
Od ostatniego lock down było wiadome, że druga fala korony przyjdzie na jesień, a oni zamiast przez te spokojne miesiące obmyślać co zrobić i jak najlepiej przejść tą sytuacje, wprowadzają zakazy wymyślone na kolanie. Jestem osobą, która uwielbia ruch -rząd zamyka siłownie, młoda osoba nie może dbać o zdrowie, ale już babcie w kościele są bezpieczne. Po drugie mam dzieci i pracuję, ile można mieć HO z dwójką, która powinna się uczyć, a wymyśla problemy i kłótnie od rana. Biznes leży, zaraz zdrowie też. Cała gospodarka już upada, a co będzie po zimie jak nam jeszcze drugi lock down zrobią? Jak pisałam na początku bez emocji się nie da.

Siłownie zamknięte to redukcja R ~0.1, szkoły 0.2 do 0.5, więc siłownie niepotrzebnie zamykają, szkoły już mają sens. Kościoły to ich twardy elektorat, więc nie liczyłbym na zamknięcie. Co do HO to może coworking space by pomógł? Niektóre są darmowe, ale nawet płatne nie są dużym kosztem za święty spokój.

politycy pewnej partii, zamiast zgłaszać wszelkie zastrzeżenia do drugiej fali koronawirusa w cichych miesiącach letnich, uważali, że ważniejsza jest dyskryminacja wszystkich ludzi z lgpd, aby ludzie wierzyli, że covid-19 nie jest już taki zły dla starej ludności i że mogą chodzić do kościoła i do urn. moim zdaniem cały system opieki zdrowotnej w polsce jest na skraju upadku...

Ta, premier mówił, że nie ma się czego bać: https://streamable.com/s/48fbpf Teraz wygrali to mają spokój na kolejne trzy lata.

a jeszcze bardziej irytuje mnie to, że politycy (którzy powinni służyć jako przykład) nie zaprzestają nawet obowiązku noszenia masek i zasad odległości...

Jest to kolejna cegiełka dokładająca się do listy powodów, przez które dużo ludzi 'nie wierzy' w pandemię.

587  Local / Polski / Re: Czemu KYC jest skrajnie niebezpiecznie i pozbawione celu on: October 22, 2020, 06:23:13 AM
Super artykuł. Dopiero się zaczynam obracać w świecie krypto, ale od razu mi wpadło w oczy, gdziekolwiek nie jestem, że większość chce KYC. A wydawałoby się, że kryptowaluty to anonimowość i co za tym idzie bezpieczeństwo.
 

Niestety w innym kierunku idziemy od kilku lat.

A co myślicie o KYC na giełdach, mam tu na myśli duże giełdy jak Binance czy Coinbase, w sumie dane mogą wyciec tylko w przypadku jakiegoś ataku hakerskiego?

Sami też mogą kiedyś zacząć udostępniać dane pod presją zmieniających się regulacji i interpretacji prawa.

Mam konto na Binance i na razie bez KYC, ale w przyszłości sądzę, że muszę je przejść, bo będzie mi potrzebne.
Jak dla mnie najgroźniejsze jest podawanie danych w Airdrop czy Bounty. Tam chyba najwięcej skamów.

Jak będzie się zmieniać prawo na gorsze w większości krajów i dalej ta giełda będzie popularnym miejscem na pranie skradzionych kryptowalut i tokenów, to w końcu nie będzie wyboru i tam.


Jak dla mnie najgroźniejsze jest podawanie danych w Airdrop czy Bounty. Tam chyba najwięcej skamów.

Tak, ryzyko tam wydaje się największe pod względem wycieku danych.

Quote
[...] When the Bank of Russia first suggested the 600,000 ruble crypto purchases limit back in 2019, the amount was worth about $9,100. [...]

Looks to me that this is a thinly-veiled form of capital controls to prevent the value of RUB from collapsing.
589  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Help: A list of LocalBitcoin alternatives (P2P marketplaces) on: October 15, 2020, 11:46:05 PM
How about adding bitpanda to the list. It's working since 2014 and

Why? It's not a P2P marketplace.

i found no accusations against it.

And I have.

E.g. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5218383.0

Just search for bitpanda in the Scam Accusations board. Same with googling 'bitpanda scam reddit'. Not saying they're blatant scammers, probably just a ham-fisted approach to AML compliance, but that's enough not to recommend them (like most other places).
590  Local / Polski / Re: Czemu nie nagradzamy sie Meritami? on: October 14, 2020, 07:03:01 PM
Żeby awansować na kolejne rangi trzeba mieć odpowiedni poziom Activity, liczbę postów oraz co najtrudniejsze, odpowiednią liczbę meritów.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0

Są pewne korzyści związane z posiadanie wyższych rang opisane w powyższym linku. Przy okazji jest więcej możliwości zarobienia jakichś drobnych z kampanii sygnaturkowych.
591  Local / Polski / Re: Bitcoiny on: October 14, 2020, 06:54:38 PM
Zależy od wielu czynników, joinmarket czy wasabi, jakie transakcje, jak bardzo anonimowe, itd., ale w praktyce nie powinno być zwykle więcej niż 0.5%; najczęściej dużo mniej, pod warunkiem że wartość transferowanych środków nie jest mała.
592  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: US government imposing fines for those companies paying ransomware on: October 14, 2020, 04:36:51 AM
Also it's their money and I don't think the US government has the right to stop them especially if there business is on the line.

Any country that enforces sanctions it has issued is likely to go after anyone found to be in violation of the sanctions, otherwise why bother issuing them in the first place?

Because even if you pay you there is no guarantee that you will be hit back again or what you will receive will be clean.

If there's no backup (or it doesn't work...), or the criminal is threatening to release the information publicly in their unencrypted form, there's enough of an incentive to pay if the encrypted data hold any value.
593  Local / Polski / Re: Tu się witamy on: October 13, 2020, 09:01:40 PM
W takim razie zalecam sceptycyzm i ostrożność, bo większość inwestycji nie ma nic lub niewiele wspólnego z inwestowaniem, a więcej z hazardem, zwłaszcza gdy chodzi o altcoiny/tokeny.
594  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitfinex hackers move another $30million on: October 13, 2020, 07:48:49 PM
120,000 Bitcoin is exclusively a large amount already to be imagined which is explicitly showcases how brilliant those hackers really are to stole such a big amount of Bitcoin. Now with Bitfinex experiencing a large amount of hack which is $30 million,

120k BTC was more than $30M even back in 2016 when the hack occurred.

The news regarding the 2 Israeli brothers who are connected to the Bitfinex hacked didn't really had any follow after their arrest so I suspect the crypto news media have distributed the wrong information again, because if this was true we won't hear the end of it and expect a lot of follow up after their arrest. Right now with 400 Million dollars in reward for them to recover the stolen Bitcoin I would suspect at least 1 of them to turn their back on each other or at least their family just to get that money.

zdnet and yahoo which aren't part of the 'crypto news media' have reported the news too

Perhaps what happened is someone erroneously tied a June 2019 movement of some of the stolen bitcoins to the brothers, maybe both the thieves and these brothers used the same DNM, or did some business together, or something like that.
595  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitfinex hackers move another $30million on: October 12, 2020, 09:34:55 AM
Or they could spend millions in gift cards  Grin
Jokes aside, over the long run the more moves they make the higher the chances they will make even the smallest mistake that eventually will allow forensic experts to trace them back from the start. Don't you think?

Well, the higher the volume, the harder it would be to blend in. Both sudden and slow increases in volume could stand out, same with cashing out, and given the amount of money involved, investigations could be conducted on places where it's the easiest to exchange larger amounts of bitcoins for fiat money, add potential mistakes when laundering either bitcoins or fiat from bitcoins and there's some hope for Bitfinex to regain their money one day.
596  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitfinex hackers move another $30million on: October 12, 2020, 09:18:27 AM
Mixing over a very long period of time and cashing out/laundering over similarly long periods of time is the only way they could maybe get away with it.

I forget such option, but AFAIK there are more limitation (compared with regular bank account) and must be approved by their family or guardian which makes it complicated.

Sure, but once it's done their guardian doesn't need to approve every transaction. I don't remember facing any restrictions when I was underage that would preclude someone from being able to acquire cryptocurrencies.

The IP location databases only claim to have 60% accuracy outside of the USA. The fact that other casinos use it and you didn't come across a wrongly assigned address in some very limited testing doesn't necessarily mean it is reliable.

Yeah, I've been blocked despite my country not making the prohibited jurisdictions lists on more than one occasion, the most recent one was on wolf.bet. Funny thing, a free VPN was enough to evade the block (my country was later added to the list despite the fact that using cryptocurrencies to gamble is the working loophole to go around otherwise restrictive gambling laws, not sure whether their gambling license authority requires this of them...).

I wouldn't know about those numbers and their accuracy so I can't comment whether or not that 60% you posted is correct or not. If you are saying that the IP location is not reliable enough, can you tell me what is the more superior method that Bustadice uses to prevent players from restricted countries from accessing the site? Requesting KYC before processing a withdrawal isn't it. When that happens, the player could have already gambled at the platform. What is done to stop them from getting in in the first place?  

I assume they'll ask for KYC only if the player admits to using the site from a country prohibited by the Terms of Service.

For the time being, investing in a Bitcoin ATM carries more risks than it can pay off. Cryptocurrency is still considered only as an investment tool rather than a currency, so its demand is not great. Besides, people wishing to use Bitcoin ATMs are not much and scattered in many places, it is difficult to locate ATMs.

Judging by the (increasing) rates of growth (93% in the past 12 months), it must be paying off to some: https://coinatmradar.com/charts/growth/

Locating an ATM isn't difficult, just click on the country and zoom in: https://coinatmradar.com/countries/
