1021  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Barclays UK account to Coinbase? on: February 19, 2023, 02:00:52 PM
-snip-
My main concern right now is whether Barclays is going to freak out and hassle me (or worse) when I attempt to send large wire transfers to a crypto exchange (even to an established mainstream exchange such as Coinbase)?

Any advice for sending money successfully from a Barclays UK account to fund a Coinbase account? Is this doable nowadays, or will my Barclays account get flagged or frozen?

I haven't used the bank so I can't answer the question, but it looks like Barclays UK had a partnership with Coinbase[1] which got canceled in 2019 (the reason is unknown).

And these are a couple of users I found who reported having their accounts frozen for dealing with crypto[2][3]

1022  Local / العربية (Arabic) / Re: أمر منظم نيويورك Paxos بالتوقف عن إنشاء BUSD من Binance on: February 19, 2023, 01:07:00 PM
لا أعتقد أن هذا ما سيحدث. كما ذكرت في التعليق السابق، هذا القرار هو بداية نهاية العملة و هي مسألة وقت قبل أن تختفي كليا من السوق.
تغريدات المدير التنفيذي لمنصة بينانص تشير إلى انهم على قناعة ان العملة ستختفي قريبا و عليهم التفكير في حلول بديلك و لكن ذلك لن يكون عن طريق التعاقد مع شركة أخرى لان ذلك لا معنى له إضافة لما يمكن أن ينجر عنه من تتبعات قانونية و هو آخر شيئ يمكن أن ترغب فيه المنصة في الوقت الحالي.
هذه بعض مقتطفات من التغريدات التي تحدثت عنها:
-snip-

ان كان هذا بالفعل سوف يؤدي الى نهاية عملتهم، أعتقد أنه خبر جيد:

- هذا السيناريو أحسن بكثير مما رأيناه مع نهاية لونا و عملتها المستقرة و لن يؤثر على السوق أو الى خسارة مستخدمي العملة الى أموالهم. (لكن مازال علينا رؤية ما الذي سوف يحدث في الأسابيع القادمة)
-  هذا سوف ينقص من هيمنة بينانس على السوق مما يعني أنه حتى حال كانت هنالك مشاكل في المنصة في المنصة، لن يؤثر ذلك كثير بقدر ما قد تفعله الان

أما بخصوص قولك أن المنصة لن تقوم بانشاء عملة أخرى فأنا أوافقك الرأي تماما، من غير المرجح رأيه ذلك.

That's quite a big downside if you ask me and one of the worst crypto payment implementations I've seen lately. I thought that Binance is there just to exchange crypto to fiat and not to be an actual requirement in order to pay with crypto.

I'm not familiar with Bahraini laws and regulations, but since The Central Bank of Bahrain was behind this[1][2]. I think it makes sense (for them) to go this route when Binance requires KYC.

For those who don't know, Binance partnered with Eazy.net (a well-known payment provider in Bahrain) so now, any service using Eazy services, can start accepting bitcoin (many have already started doing that). This is good for adoption but there's one downside; the users must create Binance accounts if they haven't already. So if you have your BTC in your Electrum wallet, for instance, you can't pay and you must first transfer them to your Binance account.
1025  Local / العربية (Arabic) / Re: Mtgox و اعادة البيتكوين لأصحابها on: February 19, 2023, 08:38:19 AM
لقد قرر اثنان من أكبر الدائنين[1] (واحد فيهم عبارة عن منصة[2]) في هذه القضية الحصول على أموالهم عن طريق البيتكوين عوض الفيات و الذي وكما ذكر المقال، يبدو أنه قد خفف من مخاوف المتداولين.

الان بطبيعة الحال، هذا لا يعني بالضرورة أن الدائنين غير مهتمين بتحويل أموالهم الى الدولار مثلا، و يمكن أنهم في انتظار ارتفاع الأسعار فقط. خاصة بالنسبة لمنصة بيتكونيكا و الذي يبدو أنه هي الأخرى كان قد رفع دعوى قضائية ضدها[3]

قرأت في احد المنتديات الخاصة ان هناك اكثر من نزل يدرس امكانية دمج خدمة مدفوعات الكريبتو بما في ذلك بعض الخدمات البنكية. استعمال الكريبتو و انتشاره في مختلف القطاعات سيجعل من البحرين وجهة للاستثمارات الجديدة و السياحة ستنتعش. الكويت ايضا تدرس امكانيات الدمج و تبني تكنولوجيات جديدة خصوصا في المجال الحماية security.

لا أعتقد أن قبول العديد من الأماكن للبيتكوين سوف يساعد على انعاش السياحة، ليس بالكثير على أي حال الا في حالتين:

- جعل البيتكوين عملة رسمية و الذي سوف يلفت الانتباه للبلد (كما حدث الأمر مع السالفادور)
- أو تناقل الوسائل الاعلامية لمثل هذه الأخبار التي شاركتكم اياها، و التي يبدو أن معظمهم غير مهتم بنقلها
1027  Economy / Exchanges / Re: why this wallet address is not showing ? on: February 18, 2023, 06:20:44 PM
It should be there, with Binance for example, you can either go to your withdrawals page and check the "destination" column.

Or, you can use the TXID in a blockexplorer (like Blockchain.com) for example where you will be able to see your withdrawal address (along with other user's addresses).
1028  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Wallet backup & encrypted question on: February 18, 2023, 02:33:58 PM
You have a wallet and you have two backups of that. One is encrypted and the other one is unencrypted. Am I getting you correctly?
If so, you can use your unencrypted file and make transaction without any need to enter a passphrase.

IIRC, Bitcoin core still requires taking regular backups, right?

If so, then he should make sure to take another unencrypted copy, especially if he has been using his wallet for all "these years" he mentioned.
1029  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin as gift on: February 18, 2023, 01:08:10 PM
If you want something "cooler" maybe you could get him an OpenDime loaded with BTC instead, especially if you think he'll be holding them for some time.

-snip-

Thanks for the response. I've also tried to send BTC from the wallet, and apparently, there's a problem decoding the address (tb1....):

Code:
Invalid character '0'

Or should the address be a taproot one in order for this to work?
1031  Economy / Service Discussion / Bitcoin testnet faucets and scam ads on: February 17, 2023, 02:05:49 PM
So there's this bitcoin testnet faucet, which I believe has been around for some years now, that started to display some scam ads (or maybe this is the first time I'm noticing it):



Code:
https://bitcoin-miner-pro.financial-marketsworld.com/

And I must say, this is the last place I expected to see such ads.

It's unlikely that the visitors of the site would fall for this (since I would guess that they are primarily developers) but still, I thought I'd share.
1032  Local / العربية (Arabic) / Re: دعم بينانس للبحرين on: February 16, 2023, 08:12:05 AM
لقد أعلن فندق نوفوتال منذ بضعة أيام عن بدئه في قبول مدفوعات العملات المشفرة عن طريق بينانس، حيث بذلك يكون قد أصبح أول فندق في المنطقة يقوم بذلك

كما أعلنت Binance Academy عن شراكة مع معهد البحرين للدراسات المصرفية والمالية و ذلك لتطوير مبادرات البحث والتعليم في مجال البلوكشين.

و بمأن هذه الدورات سوف تكون عن طريق الأنترنت كما هو مذكور في التغريدة، أنا أفترض أنها سوف تكون ذو فائدة كبيرة لجميع دول العربية و ليس البحرين فقط.
1033  Local / العربية (Arabic) / Re: مؤسس FTX مهدد بالسجن مدى الحياة on: February 16, 2023, 07:48:40 AM
تحديثات جديدة حول القضية: يبدو أنه تم حظر مؤسس المنصة من استعمال VPNs أو أي برنامج يساعده على ارسال أو استقبال رسائل مشفرة. أضف الى ذلك أن هوية الضامنين الأخرين أصبحت الان معلومة.
1034  Local / العربية (Arabic) / Re: باكسوس قيد التحقيق on: February 14, 2023, 09:55:54 PM
هنالك حاليا بعض الإشاعات حول أن هيئة الاوراق المالية قد أمرت سيركل بايقاف بيع عملتها المستقرة، بحجة أنها ورقة او سند ضمان غير مسجل.

ان ثبت ان هذا الخبر صحيح في الساعات القادمة، فسوف يكون من المثير للاهتمام رؤية ما الذي تخبأه هذه الهيئة للعملات المشفرة الأخرى و التي يمكن بدورها ان تعتبر "أوراق غير مسجلة"
1035  Economy / Exchanges / Re: PayWithMoon stops selling their visa cards on: February 14, 2023, 10:52:18 AM
What about the possibility that fails and they are forced to completely drop that venture as well? I am not very optimistic about the service coming back, to be honest.

Didn't LocalBitcoins put something similar on their website (that they were improving it and making a new design) while simultaneously posting a shutdown notice on another URL?

I don't think we can really compare the two. From my understanding, Moon is not selling their debit cards anymore, because their new partner is no longer interested in the partnership, and not because the business is not profitable. So if they made an announcement, it probably means that they already found another bank to deal with.
1036  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [Discussion] Taro: A new protocol for multi-asset Bitcoin and Lightning on: February 14, 2023, 08:51:20 AM
Hi,

thanks for your reply.

Yes. Right now it is a CUSTODIAL web wallet. Developing a non-custodial Taro wallet is possible but it would require more implicated approach. I know that privacy-wise there are MILES to go. I am planning to expose an API and release a web app but this is what we have for now.

As for the license - yes I will add this to my TODO list. You are correct this is kind of crucial.

As for username and password - I decided to only go with the basic necessities. I am intentionally not collecting emails.

Is there something wrong with generating invoices? I filled in the description and clicked the button, but I wasn't given anything and the page just keeps refreshing every few seconds.
1037  Economy / Exchanges / Re: PayWithMoon stops selling their visa cards on: February 14, 2023, 08:01:53 AM
Oh, it's bad news they recently tweet that "we are working to bring a new and improved Moon Visa Prepaid Card to the market as soon as possible."
but on the same date and time, they decided to stop selling their cards it's weird.
Their reason is the FTX accident and the other Crypto incident I guess that is the reason from their bank card issuer.

Yeah, it seems like the banking system is limiting its exposure to crypto with what has been happening lately. Even Binance had to stop providing their SWIFT USD transfers because of that.
1038  Local / العربية (Arabic) / Re: باكسوس قيد التحقيق on: February 13, 2023, 08:46:34 AM
بالاضافة الى التحقيق الذي ذكرته في المشاركة الأولى، لقد تداوالت المواقع الاخبارية منذ ساعات قليلة على أن هيئة الأوراق المالية و البورصة سوق ترفع دعوى قضائية ضد الشركة بسب كون عملة بينانس المستقرة سند ضمان "غير مسجل"

أعتقد أن الأسابيع القادمة سوف تكون مثيرة للاهتمام، و أنا أتوقع أن تقوم نفس الهيئة بالتحقيق في أمر عملات أو منصات أخرى.

1039  Economy / Exchanges / Re: What happens when USA KYc is used on Binance international? on: February 12, 2023, 07:26:35 PM
Issue in question is older account from pre kyc days where funds are still on there but unable to withdrawal. IF that person KYCs as US will they be able to withdrawal? If account closed not a problem but will funds be able to withdrawal. It sounds like yes?

After reading the post above, I checked the terms of service but I think it's difficult to say whether they'll just put your account in withdrawal mode only, or lock it completely since the U.S doesn't fall under the category of sanctioned countries:

3. Sanctions:

If you live in a comprehensively sanctioned country or territory, we will have to lock your account and initiate off-boarding. Most of the time, you simply won’t be able to sign up, or pass KYC. But new rules do come up, especially given the ever changing geopolitical environment.

Please understand, we don’t make sanction laws, but we must follow them. There isn’t any choice here. In most instances, your account will be put into withdrawal only mode, and you must withdraw your assets. For users that are affected by these restrictions, we will give notice in advance to allow them to take any necessary action.

4. Restricted Countries
-snip-
For example, if you traveled to the US and accessed your account, our system will lock your account and ask you to verify that you are not an US citizen and do not live in the US. This is to ensure no US citizens or residences are using Binance.com (they may instead use Binance.US).
-snip-

Have you tried to reach out to the support team and ask them directly?
1040  Economy / Exchanges / Re: What happens when USA KYc is used on Binance international? on: February 12, 2023, 06:29:08 PM
If a binance (non US) account becomes locked behind a KYC wall and the user provides US KYC docs what happens? Anyone tested? Thanks

You're saying that a non-US account got locked. What do you mean by that? You haven't used the account since Binance enforced KYC on everyone, or are they asking you re-submit your documents?

Anyway, I haven't tested this myself but since Binance.com doesn't accept US citizens, your application will probably get denied.
