Este intr-adevar unul foarte interesant! Clar, am participat chiar acum.

Ich weiß, dass BNB ein Shitcoin ist, ich weiß, dass sein Preis manipuliert ist, aber genau das kann seinen Preis gut aussehen lassen.
Danke @1miau für den Wettbewerb und die Einladung. Und sorry, wenn ich Schreibfehler gemacht habe.

I agree with Edwardard. You seem to be misled. You say you're counting your balance, but you show the proof that the money you're counting is in others' pocket (in this case, Binance's).
That's technically not your money. That's money Binance has promised they will give back to you if you will withdraw. But you know, promises can be broken...

Most of my balance is in my own wallet. I won't lie, I have some at a centralized platform, but the amount is much smaller than yours.

2.
The chart means almost nothing in the context you've written, since a wallet can have more addresses and your chart is about addresses and not wallets.

3.
You should learn that it can be dangerous to tell publicly how much bitcoins you own. Internet is not forgetting and if bitcoin price jumps to $1M soon enough you may end up with bad people looking for you to get your coins that would then worth already $100k...

Let's stay in the Christmas spirit and not start flame wars here, please. It's not the purpose of this topic and it may force me lock it earlier than I intended.

No, I don't have plans to do this on each end of the year. Maybe in 4-5 years I'll do it again

Having people on ignore list means I didn't spend time reading posts with high chance to hold no value.
And I expect to have to put most of them back though the following months, excepting those who have became inactive and the very few that have improved.
Plus, if this becomes a rule, then it becomes more a standard than a Christmas surprise , which I also don't want to happen.

They may have been changing their ToS, but not their ways of working, or at least not significantly.
I've suggested that topic in order to have a good start without the need to discuss once again what was discussed back then, instead continue, hence add what's new.
If we would continue without taking that topic into account, this one may end up with nothing new, or the new things spread out between pieces already discussed in 2020.

Of course, I can only suggest/give information. It's a free world, a free forum and you can really do as you wish.

Foarte frumos din partea ta, multumim mult!
Citisem topicul in engleza asta vara si contine intr-adevar multe informatii utile.
Depinde de cititor, nu toate vor fi la fel de apreciate - un exemplu ar fi graficul Curcubeu, care s-a dovedit deja partial incorect (preturile au iesit din plaja de valori asteptate) - dar per total este o lista impresionanta.

I'm making this post because I think that some might be interested, especially after certain discussions not very long ago related to Jerry... (so, @dkbit98, if this is a reason to ignore me, it's up to you, I am playing fair and notifying you).
I was already thinking on this back then, but I made my mind just now and I've also done it now: I've cleaned up my ignore list.

It was not only as a "second chance" gesture (Merry Christmas!), it was also done in order to make sure I won't get into troubles with unresponsive "Ignore users settings" page.
Yeah, I also think that some may have improved in the past years (it's my first such cleanup), but I know that some will think that it's highly unlikely such things happen.


As a matter of fact I've already added back one user, so please don't be too harsh with me; the show goes on.

Some of the so called changes you've posted didn't actually change anything. No matter it's maps.google.com or google.com/maps, internally they were still able to share your info between their various services.
And it's known that this is not good for privacy. Some accept that, some don't. However, your topic comes late. You may want to start reading into #DeGoogle - Take back control of your privacy which is a topic here on bitcointalk, discussing exactly this, just it does it in 2020.


PS. The OTP app is the easiest to replace. I recommend Aegis Authenticator.

People miss that part pretty often. And @fillippone was nicely funny, no matter what.
Actually I think that Foxpup may be even going a few milliseconds late on purpose

Some will not be happy with that and imho you should offer those (if there will ever be the case) the option to withdraw their existing funds before leaving the platform.
Even more if you have this kind of things in your ToS, it would be imho a good advertising to clearly write that the users who want to leave in case KYC is suddenly asked will be able to withdraw their existing funds.

You should learn and improve the original post based on the suggestions you've got, since many (especially newbies) will not have the patience to read all the answers.

Now, Coinbase / BitPay are third parties and one very important rule in bitcoin is to avoid as much as possible third parties if you want a happy life (ie don't get burned, sooner or later).
I will not say to remove them from the list - I will even add that I think that Binance too is offering such services - but you should:
* clearly state the risks of going on that path (the coins are in other businesses' pockets and some bitcoiners will avoid using those payment methods because sometimes KYC is required too there)
* add that for those with a bit of technical knowledge there's BTCPay Server as a better option, there they can control the money flow, they don't have to pay fees to third party and the bitcoins go directly to their pockets (OK, wallets); even more, since they don't have to pay fees to third party, they can offer those as discounts as you said at one of the points.

...just my 2 satoshi.

It's more than that. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. So when you as merchant have received the coins and the transaction is confirmed, you know the money is in your pocket.
On the other hand, with banks and cards you don't know. You don't know whether the card is stolen, you don't know if for whatever reason the payment gets reversed, you can face ugly surprises. With bitcoin everything is clear. It offers more control.

They do. But in my country only in the last few months the commission has became meaningful. Until then the fees were bigger than the earned commission (of course, that's for normal people keeping there amounts of max 4-5 figures).
However, the currently bigger commission is caused by the rise of inflation and the percent of that commission is smaller than the real inflation. So Bitcoin should be a better choice, since I expect that sooner or later a bull run will start.

I honestly hope you'll be here for the "long marathon". I am a chicken and I will not risk my money yet (too many similar businesses didn't get to last more than a couple of weeks, sorry), but if you pass the test of time and remain close to this level of prices I will very much consider using too your services.


LE: after seeing your later "answers" I start doubting your honesty. Sorry.

*sigh* I've also thought that the submission period was made a bit longer; I was ready to post my entry, since I had no time before Christmas.

Although I guess that it won't be taken into account, since my Mixed Collectibles decoration is now done and captured, I'll post it, at least for the fun of it.
Just beware, the naughty elves have broken in, smashed the piggy bank and also started playing with the presents Santa has prepared.






Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I have a question too: would have been this beautiful DYI XMR coin counted as LEALANA or not?

Sometimes it's not easy to figure out what you've done wrong. But you have to try and, even more important, make sure you do best next time.
And that's a lot more than nothing.
That usually means hardware wallet if you didn't have, that usually means much safer ways to handle/store the backup seed, this kind of small things that matter.

I don't know where to post this, but I think that I've found a bug.
If I want to see how many USD is one satoshi, PNNV UI behaves badly and doesn't allow me do so.
PNNV works only with numbers having 7 digits after the decimal point, not 8, without explicitly telling I've entered too small number.

(As a good thing, the competitor I've used, but no more, works with only 2 digits after the decimal point for fiat, so it's even worse at small values.)

On-chain transactions don't understand smaller units than satoshi. LN can do mSats too.
But imho it's all a convention. Right now people work with Bitcoins, mBTC and satoshis.

My math tells that no matter how many zeroes are after the decimal point, if they're all zero it's the same number.
But I will add that in order to indeed have this in bitcoin - ie on-chain - bitcoin core may need changes and that's imho not necessary now, as long as 1 sat worth less than 1 cent.

Hmm, very good point.
Indeed, this could open the doors of a new business: newbies promoting scams in their avatars and also spamming the forum. And since scams are not moderated, this can become an overly big issue.

Although I found it a good idea at start, I am no longer so sure.


Me too, that's why I thought at first that this could be good. But if it opens a new Pandora's box, then it's no longer advisable...
