En effet la majorité dispose leur fonds sur des échanges mais c'est parce qu'ils sont plus intéressés par le côté spéculation que par une utilisation réelle. Et comme c'est de toute façon par là que les coins seront vendus puis des virements bancaire effectués, ils pensent gagner du temps et quelques centimes avec les frais de transactions.
La bonne pratique est de déposer ses coins quand on veut trade, et de les enlever une fois fini, mais très peu de personnes suivent cette règle, pourtant basique voir primordiale
principal avantage d'un portefeuille non-custodial:
tu as un contrôle complet de tes coins. Ils sont à toi et dans ta possession. Personne ne peut prendre une décision dessus.
A contrario, un échange ou un portefeuille custodial, peut décider de suspendre ton compte (et donc tes coins) avec comme excuse l'application de la loi sur le blanchiment d'argent, ou pour suspicions de faire des transactions avec des activités illégales. Chez coinbase par exemple, tout ce qui est casino rentre dans leur catégorie illégale".
L'utilisateur n'est pas non plus à l'abri de voir un site piraté et les coins volés (exemple MTGox)
L'utilisateur n'est pas non plus à l'abri de voir le site sanctionné par un gouvernement (impliquant blocage d'accès au site, fermeture, ou autre)
L'utilisateur n'est pas non plus à l'abri de perdre son mot de passe de l'echange et de ne pas pouvoir se connecter à sa boite mail (parce que l'email a été supprimé, etc...)
L'utilisateur n'est pas non plus à l'abri de se faire pirater sa boite mail. il suffit ensuite au hacker de faire "mot de passe oublié"
Lorsque l'adage dit "not your keys, not your coins" et "be your own bank", tu ne risque pas d'être ta propre banque si tu utilises une banque.
Il s'agit, par comparaison, d'avoir ton propre coffre, tes propres bureaux, tes propres agences, ect.
Laisser des coins sur un échange, c'est une faille. Faut se rappeler qu'il s'agit d'argent et que ca tombe pas du ciel. C'est pas des points de fidélité sur une carte de supermarché

This is the perfect misconception I'm talking about in my previous post. Localcryptos and Hodlhodl are not purely decentralized platforms (they never advertised themselves as such). Who owns the website, who owns the server, Do you have decision power? No. The sites are owned and hosted by centralized applications and companies (Ltd). You can not vote anything and raise your concerns. If for example, they decide to make a change (whatever it is) you just have to shut up and follow their directives. That's the total opposite of a decentralized autonomous organization that doesn't have a centralized leadership and in which the community can vote on proposals for example Wasabi is no longer really recommended for this purpose since they can now block some transactions if they feel the need... By the way: did you have the possibility to say no to the change? Nope. The coordinator service, zkSNACKS, is centralized, so you see, privacy doesn't mean decentralization. ...
Dude, sometimes I think the web was better decades ago. Yes, we had ugly websites but a lot less noise |

Because it's decentralized, it doesn't mean it can not be exploited by different parties. You have to trust the code, and open-source doesn't mean the code is perfect. We have already seen some examples. Not even talking about solutions marketed as "decentralized" while it's not completely true. It appears that when it's about their own project, they suddenly have another definition of "decentralized"... Also, quoting Wikipedia to make it shorter without going deep - Not decentralized Kevin Werbach, author of The Blockchain and the New Architecture of Trust,[39] has said that "many so-called 'web3' solutions are not as decentralized as they seem, while others have yet to show they are scalable, secure and accessible enough for the mass market", adding that this "may change, but it's not a given that all these limitations will be overcome".[40]
In early 2022, Moxie Marlinspike, creator of Signal, articulated how Web3 is not as decentralized as it appears to be, mainly due to consolidation in the cryptocurrency field, including in blockchain application programming interfaces which is currently mainly controlled by the companies Alchemy and Infura, cryptocurrency exchanges which is mainly dominated by Binance, Coinbase, MetaMask, and OpenSea, and the stablecoin market which is currently dominated by Tether. Marlinspike also remarked that the new web resembles the old web
Others have raised concerns about a decentralized web, citing the potential for low moderation and the proliferation of harmful content,[9] the centralization of wealth to a small group of investors and individuals,[10] or a loss of privacy due to more expansive data collection. Web 3.0 is more about using blockchains than decentralization. And using the term "blockchain" doesn't always mean public blockchains. There are also private ones. Knowing the mass doesn't care about decentralization it will end with the same problems we're facing nowadays with Web 2.0: Oligopoly with only a few companies ruling their industry (with their own blockchain that the public will use). Decentralized applications and solutions exist since decades and people have never massively adopted them (or most) |

They also called for greater punishments for crimes involving cryptos. WTF Does it mean we can get a discount for prison if a criminal used a fiat?
How a punishment can depend on which currency you used? It's discrimination.
That's about 5 years after the first bill... Better than too late but it still means nothing. I mean, the bill must be approved by the Deputies and then signed off by the president. Nothing is written on the stone.
Good news for the shops that will get tax exemption to import ASICs.

Hi  Nice addition but I'm confused about something. The cards sold on Coinsbee are only virtual or we can use the vouchers for plastic ones? Because reading their website it looks like they have both products but I'm unable to find something about the cost of a plastic card or the costs linked to it (ATMs fees,...) I thought they were PrepaiDigitalSolutions cards (which is a piece of shit) and had rebranded but they are another supplier, which is a plus Since it's cheaper than PCS, I could be interested if they have a plastic MC. |

La surveillance, le contrôle, les collectes de données iront de pire en pire avec le temps, c'est indéniable. Ce que je vois au fil des années, c'est qu'on a de plus en plus l'impression d'avoir besoin "de se battre" pour nos données. Et quand c'est pas pour cette "surveillance", c'est les fuites de données, les hacks et autres. Moi ca me fait bien rigoler toutes ces entreprises qui se disent être tellement sécurisées que même Dieu ne pourrait pas les pirater. Hors, touts les mois il y a des incidents et même de la part de très grandes entreprises, ou même l'administration. Dans 10 ans, on ne dira plus "quel site a été piraté", mais plutôt "quel site n'a jamais été piraté". Le pire, c'est les endroits ou nous n'avons pas trop de choix. La CPAM par exemple. Moi je fais parti des 500 000 "privilégiés" en France dont les données personnelles ont fuité. Ces enculés, ils t'envoient un courrier, ils disent même pas toute la vérité en plus. Si tu utilises plus souvent Bitcoin oui, Bisq fait l'affaire. Pour ton cas (petites sommes 2-3 fois dans l'année) c'est pas la peine. Tu vas bloquer une "caution" pour rien et quand tu voudra vendre ta caution, il te faudra une autre caution. En gros il te restera toujours des bitcoins sur les bras. J'ai regardé le marketplace sur Localcryptos et la plupart des offres sont pour des virements bancaire, Western Union, Revolut. J'ai pas tout vérifié en même temps. Soit tu passes par cette plateforme pour faire un SEPA et tu peux être sûr qu'elle ne te demandera pas tes papiers d'identité. Mais la personne connaitra ton nom/prénom, puisque lorsqu'elle va recevoir ton virement, ton nom s'affichera sur son relevé de compte. Agoradesk: beaucoup d'offres sont pour des virements et autres, mais j'ai trouvé cette offre en jetant un œil rapidement https://agoradesk.com/user/Dax Il accepte les cartes bancaire pour les paiements en EUR. En passant, si jamais tu es parisien, tu peux trouver des vendeurs pour du face à face Je me suis rappelé de Paxful. Là bas, il a de grandes chances que tu puisses acheter du BTC avec des codes neosurf Par contre, je ne connais pas leur politique du KYC (ou pas) donc jette y quand même un œil si tu décides de l'utiliser. Avant sur Coinmama, les gens pouvaient utiliser leur CB pour acheter du BTC sans avoir besoin de fournir leur ID et jusqu'à 150€. Je ne sais pas si cela a changé, mais ca peut valoir le coup d'aller voir. Paybis aussi prenait la CB. D'autres membres peuvent peut être te dire, mais il me semble que c'est encore possible d'utiliser Binance pour faire un dépôt avec une CB. Il va de soit qu'avec les 3 dernières, les sites connaitront ton nom/prénom |

Neosurf et Paysafecard ne sont plus vraiment utilisés pour faire des échanges. Tu peux encore (difficilement) en trouver, mais c'est comme avec Paypal. Ca pique les yeux avec les frais et de surcroit il n'y a plus vraiment de vendeurs intéressés par ces options.
Les achats avec une CB ont toujours eu réputation d'être chargés en frais. A une époque, c'était même normal de voir du 7%-10%...
Localmonero et Agoradesk sont créés par les même personnes effectivement. Tu as aussi Localcrypto dans le même style, mais même sur ces plateformes tu trouves en majorité des offres avec des SEPA, des Revolut, et un peu de Westerunion...
Sur Bisq, 99% des offres sont des SEPA. Bien que l'on puisse créer des offres avec d'autres moyens de paiement (même du face à face) ca n'attire pas les foules. De plus pour pouvoir utiliser Bisq et acheter, il faut déjà posséder des bitcoins (pour au moins payer la caution du trade). Autrement dit, si tu ne possèdes aucun BTC, cette solution sera inutilisable pour toi.
Quelle méthode es tu prêt à utiliser: une CB, un compte bancaire, rien de tout ca, du liquide...? De qui cherches tu à éviter "d'être surveillé? D'une plateforme d'échange, du fisc, donné ton nom/prénom est il un problème? Du site ou tu veux payer ton abonnement?
J'ai pas compris ton rapport avec un mixeur, mais ils ne vendent pas de BTC, mais ca peut laisser supposé que tu cherches "à te cacher" du site ou tu dois payer tes abos. Les mixeurs ne nécessitent pas(forcément) de montant élevés pour faire un mix. ChipMixer et CryptoMixer par exemple ont un minimum de 0.001 BTC, et même Anonymixer a un minimum de 1 satoshi. Tu trouvera pas plus bas que 1 satoshi.

@adaseb Two things are incorrect: There are more exchange platforms hacked compared to 5 years ago. Just look on the web, there is a hack every 3 months and it includes more millions $. But we could say it's something normal since more platforms are online compared to 5 years ago.  That is 28x jump in average hack value from the pre-Gox era and despite all the changes they make (2fa, etc...) Hack severity has dramatically increased and will continue to get worse as the ecosystem grows Finally, Crypto exchanges keep getting hackedWe shouldn't really be surprised because a lot of exchanges are pretty bad with their security (it's not only a matter of 2fa and other stuff). The serious ones spend literally millions of dollars on security while some don't bother to apply basics, so that's why they get hacked soon or later. I posted to show how weak they can be. Yes, it's long ago but not a lot has changed since. I made this graphic using some data from Sqreen. (Yeah, I know it's not a professional one I am usually able to do better but I never tried to use bar graphs or histograms so I was just playing around) 140 cryptocurrency exchanges have been checked one by one for basic security issues. It doesn't mean these exchanges have vulnerabilities but they should improve some basic security controls  out of the 140 exchanges we analyzed less than 40% of them are using headers like the Strict-Transport-Security header or the X-XSS-Protection header. 20% expose server information which isn’t a security vulnerability in itself but that clearly shows the low level of security best practices implemented. And 26% of them use frontend libraries with known vulnerabilities. Only 2% implemented a Content-Security-Policy that, if done well, can offer powerful protection against clickjacking or XSS |

have other user who lost fund received reply yet?
CM admin post on this thread, but i still receive no contact on my request for my lost funds
I'm sure he's more than busy working on the sec. the last hours. I'd say you can wait a few more hours. I mean, it's not like it's been three days. ChipMixer will respond, of course. No worry (I know it's easy to say 'no worry' when it's about your own money but he'll get back to you as soon as possible for sure) |

it's a defective fan and S9 are (or at least, were) known to have issues with it
If you look on the forum, you will surely find similar cases in which the fans are 'buggy'

...some say this Chipmixer makes us a little worried about it because some say the security certificate has expired...
Fake news...  Read the topic a second time, the user was talking about Cryptomixer
(edit: at the time this guy posted it was still fake news. As of today, people reading my post should follow this link)
@o_e_l_e_o is right about Wasabi. I commented about it a few days ago Wasabi starts blocking certain transactions to its CoinJoin mixing protocol. Crazy but true. I'm totally disappointed by their move and a large setback. The "certain transactions" are not defined but since it was done to protect their company from hackers and scammers' funds (as they say), we can have a guess but who knows how deep they go. They may end up with a partnership with Elliptic, Chainanalysis and co.  If they were not under a company, they wouldn't need to take such action that we could name censorship. As of now, the zkSNACKs coordinator will start refusing someUTXOs from registering to coinjoins. Either you switch to joinmarket or run the coordinator and configure wasabi for you., I don't know, but I'm sure I have never see a mixer with such acts |

J'ai remarqué qu'Arte fait de plus en plus de reportages sur le monde de la crypto et des blockchains. C'est la seule chaine de télé que je regarde (sur internet ou leur chaine YT) En voici une en rapport avec le Salvador: Salvador : le nouveau pays du bitcoin https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/109014-000-A/salvador-le-nouveau-pays-du-bitcoin/Le 7 septembre 2021, une première mondiale avait lieu au Salvador : le bitcoin devenait la monnaie officielle du petit pays d’Amérique centrale, au même titre que le dollar. une expérience jugée avant-gardiste par certains, trop risquée par d’autres... Six mois après son lancement, le bilan est mitigé Depuis son lancement, moins de 10% de la population en fait usage. Apparemment il y a eu l'effet du airdrop, mais après les gens abandonnent. Il y a un commerçant interrogé disant que depuis le début de l'année, on lui a demandé seulement 2 fois si il acceptait le bitcoin. Une femme parle également de nombreuses usurpations d'identités ayant permis d'arnaquer pour des millions de dollars edit: ah l'arnaque, ce dure que 3 minutes ou c'est un extrait

If I can help I'm happy, in the same way, I'm happy to receive help when I need it. Sharing is the power of the www.
Your suggestion: create a site with a database.
A database, or a blog, is the same problem. Websites should not be trusted!
Just look at all the blogs on the web that promote scams. I can't even remember the last time I visited a site that didn't have a phishing URL.
Another example I could give: someone suggested to me the URL of a mixer, saying it was posted on dark.fail (a known website), I replied I don't trust websites. A few days later, it appears the website was hacked, and the URL was wrong.
I could make a website as you suggest and insert scam mixers and label them as a "legit website"
Community discussions are not 100% bulletproof but a lot much more reliable because there will always be someone to comment and/or give their opinion, share their experience

C'est foutu, les gens se sont tellement fait laver le cerveau ces derniers jours...qu'ils vont voter Macron. A croire que les gens aiment rester dans la merde. Ca va macroner au début, puis ils commenceront à se plaindre, puis iront faire les gilets jaunes sur les ronds points.. Vu le bilan du quinquennat, faut vraiment être con pour voter Macron. Au début il était un peu drôle avec sa façon de parler mais on cherche un président, pas un clown. Je me demande qui a été le pire entre lui et F Hollande https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCOusXNuRVURien que de faire appel à des cabinets de conseils pour savoir comment diriger le pays, ca en dit long. Si tu sais pas faire, il ne fallait pas postuler. En réalité il méprise les Français et les considère comme des fainéants. je sais pas, mais vous avez eu 5 ans pour vous rendre compte, alors vous pouvez pas dire que vous ne savez pas. Voter Macron, c'est mériter la prison pour trahison de la France |

"whois" search.. reveals the exchange is HIDING behind privacy guards and PO boxes.
not a good sign at all
exchanges want to KYC their customers but dont want customers to know who they are handing funds over too..
Some domain registrars don't give you the choice to hide or show personal/business information. On the other side, the website shows clearly all the information to identify them. As well company numbers, FinCEN numbers, MSB license numbers, etc... Since everything can be verified, I think people can verify themselves if they want to know who's behind. https://www.google.com/search?q=Viktor+Prokopenya&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8If I want to know a company, i take a look at their website first instead of doing a WHOIS query. footer's website: The merchant company is Currency Com Limited, a private company limited by shares registered in Gibraltar with company number 117543 having its registered office at Suite 23, Portland House, Glacis Road, Gibraltar, GX11 1AA, phone: +35056001581.

Here are a few networks https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-ad-networks/There are also 1 or 2 lists posted somewhere on bitcointalk but you will find almost the same names listed. I only used A-ads.com myself so I can only comment about it. It's perhaps the first ad network-oriented bitcoin. I used it in the early days. We didn't even need to create an account (it's probably still the case) and the payments are automatically sent to your wallet once you reach the minimum payment. It's perhaps one of my first bitcoin transactions received =) I found their system pretty innovative, especially from an advertiser's point of view. As publishers, if an IP has already seen a banner during the day, you won't be credited if the same IP visits your site for the first time of the day. A unique IP is considered unique for the whole network, not for your site. Several persons said it's a low-earning site but that's because their system is efficient for advertisers, and the publisher's traffic is not of good quality. I earned thousands of dollars (or rather BTC) with them and it has been one of the most interesting networks I used, and believe me, I used so many CPC, CPM, CPA over the years with all the format possibles Later I wanted to give it a try to Mellow Ads, it took them over 6 months to approve my website, so I gave up the idea to use it well before lol. |

It's not my type to comment on these kind of topics but first of all... why do you even care what a user is doing with his account? He can spam d&*k pics everywhere and for sure he will be warned or even banned. Don't you have other things to do with your life instead of wasting it spying on other profiles?  If he hadn't found it, no one would have done it perhaps, and the user could have continued to abuse the signature campaigns for a long time. Such behavior is not really helpful for the community's environment. About this case, I find this complete nonsense and it is of course completely unacceptable, especially from an old member who joined years ago. The minimum is to be fired from the campaign. As for a tag, a neutral may seem less rude and I thought so too, but it is still a cheat. Abusing a member or a signature campaign is the same thing. If he does it with campaigns he can do it with a member |
