I don't know how many times I have sang about HitBTC's obscene withdrawal fees. I used them before but after realizing that their withdrawal fees are way out of the league (alongside yobit) compared to other exchanges, I withdrew all my money and never used them again. Just like I was, you are very lucky that they have never asked you to carry out KYC verification. When they do, be very sure that 98%, you won't able to recover your money.
The KYC procedure is designed to ensure that you just give up on recovering your assets. Just check out their ANN thread and see how many complaints are in there.

Edit:

They only way I withdrew cheaply was through EOS. They still charge 0.01 EOS(~0.05 USD) for withdrawal. Convert all your assets to EOS then withdraw. You can convert them back afterwards to your prefered coin in another exchange/swap service

I haven't found information regarding such exceptions. All the information that I do find goes in line with the previous information shared in my quote. I also share the same warnings that The Pharmacist shared : Their Reddit Sub is filled with complaints, accusations and support tickets that go untanned (so far). If you have considerable funds in there perhaps it would be wise to get them out while you can (and sadly pay the high price ...)

Jesus, that sounds like something Yobit would do.  0.0009BTC might have been reasonable a few months ago, but right now it's quite a bit of change as you pointed out. 

Not sure about CVC, though, and why that withdrawal fee is so high.  One thing I'm pretty sure of is that HitBTC has been shown to be a scam exchange.  I just posted once or twice about them not so long ago as being one of the scam exchanges that Curecoin is listed on.  You might not have used them in a while and might not be aware of how bad their reputation has gotten--and I seriously doubt they're going to lower that CVC withdrawal fee, which is outright ridiculous.

Nah, this is meta because I'm searching for a specific member of this forum technically; rather than trying to find offsite resource.

All the drama and everything occurred here on this site; not off-site or some 3rd party site.

Tradefortress doesn't seem to be the underage user. As far as I know, this exchange wasn't hacked, but instead it shut down and refunded everyone.

I believe that the purpose of an advertisement may not be making you click it. I don't know about youtube, since I have adblocker and I nearly watch some of them from my smart tv, but once advertisements take place on bitcointalk, the thing changes. I'll talk about ChipMixer, which is the best example.

There are thousands of pages containing posts from ChipMixer participants. Tens of thousands of posts above the ChipMixer ad. Whether you'll click it or not, you know what mixer you'll use if you ever need one. And that's because it is advertised by the most trusted and helpful users of the forum. Every user that will make an account on bitcointalk will find out about ChipMixer sooner or later. Even if you won't click it, as long as you're discussing, you'll continuously read the ChipMixer logo until it's officially "stuck" in your head.

ChipMixer is everywhere, which means that it has achieved the main purpose of an advertisement.

Of course hilarious would move it, just like she would mark bad a report of suchmoon stalking and spamming every thread I make with conclusively debunked and off topic claims and  to stop debating with my trolling posts. Then running away from any debates I attempt  to draw her into. I mean clearly that proven scammer supporter and protector is scared of any real examination into her behavior. (Suchmoon , although hilarious knowingly kept proven scammers on his DT includes list and supported them against members that presented independently verifiable evidence of their scamming so not much better really )

If hilarious says they would do something where I am concerned or not doing something you can be sure the opposite of what they say is correct fair and optimal. So thanks for chiming in to verify I was correct to post it here in meta.

Look pugwash. These are the same non specific terms all imbeciles use to avoid debating specific points.
What blabbering do you want to specifically address?
Go to them now debunk them or field an opposing argument that you're capable of and I'll come and eviscerate it in 30 seconds.

I mean we all know you will not. Because I will pull you apart in public with great pleasure like I do all turds that seek to deny independently variable truths.

Now back on topic.


It's very simple.

1. It is regarding the use of the forums control systems and potential safeguards being implemented
2. It is not about a single person on DT is it?  I mean some topics can be applied to single events but how many " is it okay, is it acceptable,  would it improve the forum, threads are there in meta? Tons because that's where you discuss how to improve the forum.
3. It is about an acceptable precedent for the use of the forums software in general.
4. This has far reaching implications for freedom of speech and whom you can even respond to.

5. I notice there has been a change since I brought this up. Lol slimy weasel, his post history


Yes of course a specific event can spark a debate that is a meta topic. Like a scammer posting an obvious scam attempt on a self moderated thread on the sales board  and blocking others reporting it as such by deleting others warnings. Then someone coming tknmeta and starting a debate about asking should it be acceptable and possible to have self moderated sales threads?

Then some mod going well make a rep thread about the scammer?
No, because j want to start a debate and suggest changes or create precedents than have great benefits for the entire forum and all of its members.

Do you get it yet.

Sure I could make a rep thread if I only wanted do specifically address that specific member and that specific event in isolation. I dont.

No more mr nice guy. Everytime I see clear abuse of the trust system and the dilution of legitmate and valuable warnings.
I'm going to make a lot of debates and specific discussion on them as to how they effect the entire forum and what improvements and safeguards can be put in place to ensure there is an improved standard of free speech and equal and fair opportunity. This will help the forum expand and grow. Nobody wants to join unless is a reasonably fair place to contribute and you're allowed to speak to who you wish.

Presenting on topic independently verifiable valuable truths must not be punishable.
If it is going to be tolerated and supported I'm going to make sure there is no excuses like oh well I never knew that kind of thing was taking place.

So pugwash I hope at this point you start to get the idea that your reply made about as much difference to this community as your entire membership here. Zero. Let that sink in. Nothing here of any real consequence would be any different should you have never joined.

Now, you may thank me for donating my precious time in providing you a both valuable and accurate appraisal of your worth. With careful reflection and a lot more help from myself, then perhaps you could make a valid contribution albeit a very small one.

What has : post your highest merit score or hey I'm a hero member now, got to do with meta? Unless you say hey I'm a hero member now and I found I had to eat a lot of ass and look the other way of a ton of shady shit from merit sources and DT to get here.  How can we prevent others having to eat so much ass and colluding with things they see are clearly wrong just to level up their accounts in future?
Then that would be discussing how to help and improve the forums software and control systems and make the forum a far better place conducive for growth and success not a broken corrupt echo chamber that puts new members off from joining due to the lack of instant financial gratification.

Let's face it the lure of bitcointalk over reddit, Twitter etc is that average people and even below average talented people could come with nothing and make some coin. I mean obviously not the super below average verging on retarded members that have been here years and still have to spam sig for dust. But the majority.

Get the merits applied. I like helping you guys but dont be so ungrateful.

Explain how it is a rep thread??

Counter-hypothetical: what if FOMA didn't cheat and made 120 posts per week with one account providing extra free advertising to CM, who could then hire one or two other users with the same budget and get even more advertising. That's basically how it works with honest participants like LoyceV who often exceeds the 50 post count by a large margin.

Do you know what's even more ironic? I have always liked exstasie but I didn't really enjoy reading figmentofmyass's posts, it's "incredible" how one person may seem like a few, he indeed did a better job than "Kevin in the movie Split".

So I was thinking about what people do with the BTC that they get from signature campaigns and converting it to fiat.
There are a few places (Coinbase comes to mind) that do not like BTC that comes from online gambling and will close your account because of it.
There are others that may or may not keep some track of what they think are "tainted" (I hate the expression) coins.

So, if you are in a campaign for a casino or if you are one of the ChipMixer people, do you keep your payouts sequestered a bit from coins you may want to convert to fiat one day?

Just bouncing this around in my head, no idea if anyone else thought about it.

yeah, I know, but bbc codes look really, really messy. I didn't really look into all of that, just a thought about html popped into my mind.

What a nightmare. Any possibility of buying a pre-paid mastercard or similar with bitcoin and using that instead?

it depends on the app. if you're loading amazon gift cards onto your account, then yes, you've generally already been KYC'd. you're tied to a physical address and likely have registered other payment methods that can identify you.

lots of other retail apps (target, starbucks, chipotle etc)---dare i say, most---collect various PII from your device i'm sure, but they don't require any personal information to load and pay with gift cards. if you use them only in brick-and-mortar stores like cash and do not link your app/account to a physical address or payment methods, i don't think you've KYC'd yourself.

Some gift cards they are selling have strangely high markup pricing. My guess is they sell those gift cards in a low enough of a volume that costs associated with procuring the gift cards is so high they need to charge more.

I would think Netflix and Amazon would not meet the above criteria though.

That's the price you pay for not living in the US. Don't you know we're the only country that matters!? (/s)

There is a thread of other gift card providers here: Gift cards providers. Perhaps you could find one with better pricing for your region.

Who says markets have to make sense? As the old saying from Keynes goes: "the markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."

Of course, there will eventually be another bear market, given that markets are cyclical. I just have a difficult time seeing it happen in the short or medium term. The Fed is being very careful not to let the markets falter, even if it means creating an asset bubble.

If the US sneezes, the world catches a cold. Remember that. I'm not in favor of American exceptionalism, but that's the world we live in. Other central banks are also mimicking what the Fed is doing, albeit in smaller amounts.

Bear market? What bear market?! LOL! Everything is at or near ATHs.

Your sentiment just proves my point. There is a wall of worry and the market is going to keep climbing it. Ongoing fiscal stimulus (at least into year end) is just fuel to the fire.

Honestly, $300K or bust.

Short term thoughts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5196072.msg56105451#msg56105451

What prices are BitPay charging for their cards? I've never found Bitrefill prices to be that expensive. At the moment, a $500 Amazon card works out to around $503 worth of bitcoin, but with the 1% reward that they offer that comes out at $498. You can even get up to 5-6% back on some other retailers, which makes their cards work out pretty cheap indeed.

Another use from the BCash subreddit seems to be reporting the same thing recently. Using BitPay to try to pay for food delivery and being met with KYC demands - https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/ksjbld/bitpay_now_requiring_full_kyc_info_to_pay_for/

Yes they suspeneded my account without reason. They said unauthorizedlogin but that is not true.
Yes I can still log in, I already make video and screenshots, but I would like to have a better proof.

Because LBC delete inactive accounts, I am afraid they also deelete my account and keep my Bitcoins.
