They re-enabled "address whitelisting" around 10 hours ago, but the interesting part is the fact that they just added delayed protection now! I'm quite surprised that a platform of that size, never had such protection in place [there are certain platforms out there that have a 48 to 72-hour hold for withdrawing to new addresses and they're not that popular] and in addition to that, most of their users are complaining about the added layer of security [SMH]!

Hashrate (hash rate - a unit of measurement of the difficulty of mining) is increasing day by day.
For the most part, that's right but it's worth noting that, that's not always the case... Certain situations could also lead to the other way around!

This thing for Bitcoin was well-only for a small people on the global world.
I'm not sure if I understood this part correctly! Would you mind paraphrasing it?

This is a very long time, no one can be sure until then cryptocurrencies in general and Bitcoin in particular will still exist or not.
The same thing applies to us and a lot of other things...

Will the crypto market disappear or collapse when all the Bitcoins are mined?  Smiley
If you're referring to the other cryptocurrencies, then I think the next generation is still going to deal with those shitcoins in the future [unfortunately]!

I have to salute them solely based on the amount of effort they've put into this, but having said that, it had an inconsistent part in it... I do know this may sound like I'm nitpicking, but the known "RTX series design" that was used in the video, might give the wrong impression to those newcomers that have or know about such GPU models!
1624  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Trezor Suite- highly recommended on: January 18, 2022, 10:46:36 AM
Yes I’ve always got the most up to date version. Don’t know why it works for your and not me. Apparently it’s a known issue (as you can see above my post) so that’s odd it’s not been brought up there. I will ask about this on their sub Reddit.
Assuming that I've understood everything correctly [based on @dkbit98's post and yours], I don't think that's a bug or a problem since that's how ".onion" links are supposed to be [that shouldn't be an issue if you were using the Tor browser while having those options turned on, on Trezor Suite]... If somehow I still missed something and you know your way around GitHub, then they might sort it out faster if you report it "in here".

Out of curiosity, tumingin-tingin ako sa UB at asses na din yung kakayahan nila mag-detect ng mga suspicious transactions related to crypto. As it turns, investor din pala sila sa Chainalysis way back 2019[1]. Mas malawak network nila sa inaasahan ko. Explains na din kung bakit hindi lang sila naka-base sa maliit o malaking transactions when flagging an account.

Unfortunately, sa tingin ko ibang UnionBank ang naicheck mo, dahil yung pinost mong press release galing sa "MUFG Union Bank" at based sa Wikipedia pages nila, hindi sila connected sa "Unionbank (Philippines)"!
1626  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Trezor Suite- highly recommended on: January 17, 2022, 08:59:38 PM
After sending a transaction it shows me the start of the TX and has a button saying something like “view transaction” but then it just opens up a “can’t find” deal in your browser.
I've never encountered that issue and I just double-checked after I sent a transaction, but I didn't face that kind of issue! When I hover over the small button at the end of the Tx ID, the pop-up message says "open in block explorer" as opposed to "view transaction".

  • Are you on its latest version?
    - BTW, I've also checked their "forum" and so far, no one has reported that kind of issue!
1627  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Website on: January 17, 2022, 07:32:59 PM
I've developed a crypto news / markets website that i'm now trying to sell. Would anyone have any ideas where the best place to do this would be?
The ones I'm about to list, aren't necessarily the best places for selling such things, but they might come in handy:

  • Bitify
  • BitMarket
    - Take note of rule #5 on that subreddit and don't explicitly mention the website that you're trying to sell!

Note: As always, I prefer to not vouch [DYOR]!
1628  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Uruguay installs its first Bitcoin ATM on: January 17, 2022, 05:36:55 PM
Just stumbled upon this "Spanish article" that claims it had more than 1k transactions within the span of a few hours + it seems that they're going to expand it to other locations as well:

  • More than 1,000 transactions were carried out in the initial hours of operation of the first UTM cryptocurrency ATM installed in Uruguay, which was inaugurated this Friday in the town of Punta del Este (southeast ).
    ~Snipped~
    The creators of the ATM, developed entirely in Uruguay, seek to expand the network in Maldonado (department in southeastern Uruguay where Punta del Este is located) and, later, take it to Montevideo and Colonia (southwest), another of the country's most popular tourist spots, such as next goals.

Entering an address manually is something that should not exist as an option, it is simply too complicated and the chances of error are high. I don't remember ever reading or hearing that there are such crypto ATMs, maybe some early models had that concept, but with smartphones and QR codes I don't see why anyone would type in an address manually.
You're right [it's not worth the trouble]... The ones I've used didn't have that option [even though they seemed to be from the previous generations] but half of the videos I've seen on YouTube, had that option!

but of  course for me this is  still something that bitcoin supporter must be celebrated .

1629  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Offline bitcoin vending machine using lightning on: January 17, 2022, 03:39:11 PM
I'm quite impressed with how everything looks and works, but it's worth noting that the price shown [$250] in the title of the above video, is just for the vending machine alone [depending on certain situations and our locations, the overall cost is around $350 to $400]!

I can't come up with a reason to buy one for myself at the moment, but I really want to.
With a bit of creativity, you can use it to sell your domains Wink
1630  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Crypto.com suspends withdrawals on: January 17, 2022, 02:03:53 PM
Not sure how serious this is but it appears that some users' accounts are being emptied
It's way more serious than what they've tweeted earlier in the day [despite reading only some of the comments on that tweet, 1/4th of them seemed to be affected]!

Makes you wonder yet again how safe 2FA really is when people have their APP & Email & 2FA all on the same device.
Depends on how safe that particular device is, but I wouldn't call that a proper 2FA setup!

1631  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Maas Ltd - New Cloud Mining Platform (Coming Soon) ~ upto 300% Static ROI on: January 17, 2022, 10:15:48 AM
We are referring to static ROI looking at the difficulty change possibilities. Since we cannot predict the change in difficulty level we are mentioning only the ROI as per present day condition.
Then you should consider either removing the word "static" or completely changing the sentence in question... In its current state, it's quite misleading!

Also long term plans can easily achieve 200-300% ROI.

A 1080 days BTC mining plan at $89.99 can easily achieve static roi based on present day profitability of 264%.
Would you mind providing a detailed breakdown of the costs, in order for us to easily understand how you're capable of achieving such profitabilities?
1632  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Uruguay installs its first Bitcoin ATM on: January 16, 2022, 09:58:55 PM
By the look of things, the main motivation or rather goal behind that particular automated teller machine is nothing but a way to promote their own cryptocurrency [basically, they're using BTCitcoin's name to their advantage]!

I've never really looked into the ATMs in enough depth, but when withdrawing Bitcoin i.e putting in cash, and wanting to receive Bitcoin. How does it handle address generation or are you required to input the address yourself, which just sounds a little risky due to the complexity of Bitcoin addresses.
Depending on the model of the BTM, you might have different options:

  • Manually enter your address
  • Scan a QR code
  • Use a generated paper wallet by the BTM
1633  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Maas Ltd - New Cloud Mining Platform (Coming Soon) ~ upto 300% Static ROI on: January 16, 2022, 07:23:35 PM
Our cloud mining plans are highly competitive and offer static ROI of more than 300%.
Bump
I had no luck with your website since it's still under construction, but would you mind providing an in-depth explanation in regards to the part I've bolded?
- IMHO, that's nothing but pure BS on so many levels [e.g. ridiculous ROI percentage + a static one, so you're telling us the difficulty adjustments aren't going to affect your services!]... Feel free to prove me wrong!
1634  Economy / Services / Re: Locating KYC Binance uses based on wallet ID. on: January 16, 2022, 04:38:12 PM
I am willing to pay for valuable informations.
Have you ever tried contacting the services that @dkbit98 mentioned on the other thread [e.g. CipherTrace and Elliptic]?
- I do know they're not the type of people that would be able to easily provide you with the information that you want, but I think they're the best route!

1635  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Launched a Bitcoin escrow on Tor on: January 16, 2022, 01:46:48 PM
and i am mainly doing everything myself. I mean just the maintenance took me a whole day (I have a personal life too haha).
So that means the following part, isn't completely true or accurate: 24/7 support

  • While we're at it, I'd like to inform you even though the fee that you're charging [screenshot] is smaller than most of the other escrow providers in "other platforms", you might want to consider lowering it a bit more [most escrow providers on this forum, have a lower fee and there are still certain users out there that refuse to hire escrow providers because of their fees]!

When launching the multi-sig, i may just partner up with escrow providers in the forum and he will be in charge of the multi-sig.
In that case: what value does your website add?
Would you mind answering the above question @pablocokeninja? Why should you and your platform be in the equation, when other escrow providers could achieve a similar result without it?
- It's a sensitive subject, so I hope you understand why most of us would question every single one of your moves!
1636  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Testing the responsiveness of Ledger Support on: January 16, 2022, 11:36:58 AM
They asked for my shipping info to send a replacement device if needed. I didn’t want to provide it, but I am still waiting on the email from the colleague mentioned by the support agent.
~Snipped~
Regarding Case #1, I am still waiting to hear back from the order & shipping team.
That's the tricky part! That department has been dealing with a huge backlog of refund or replacement orders in the past few months and that's also what most users usually report in their subreddit.

they asked me for my shipping details. They said they would send a prepaid label to return the device and receive a replacement instead.
What's interesting is that they requested shipping information even for hardware wallets that are no longer under warranty.
On the other thread, they did mention an unlimited warranty if it's a software issue, but I was surprised to see them offering a replacement for a hardware issue [case #2] that's no longer under warranty!
1637  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Conflicting news tungkol sa pag gamit ng Binance P2P at UnionBank! on: January 15, 2022, 08:56:27 PM
Mukhang ito talaga ang dahilan kaya may biglaang pagbabago eh:
I wonder if this is in response to the BDO hack where the money got laundered to crypto through Unionbank.
Sa tingin ko may connection din ito sa BDO incident... Either directly [naging mahigpit na ang UB] or indirectly [connected sa BDO yung mga poster na yun at gusto lang nila sirain yung reputation ni UB]!
- Marami kasing conflicting parts dun sa sagot ni Arvie de Vera [Senior VP ng UB] at sa laman ng mga emails!

Unsure though baka meron nga talaga mga suspicious activities sa mga complainants gaya ng biglaang pagtaas ng deposits.
At a certain threshold maaaring maging skeptical na sila kung "malinis" ba ung pera na lumalabas/pasok sa account.
Ngayon, halimbawa nagpull out ka ng 10M in just one day, of couse ma-aalarma talaga sila
Baka malakihan ang transaction nila kaya napapansin ng bangko or merchant sa P2P,
Although medyo malaki yung ibang transactions, na flag din nila yung maliliit na amount:


May nabasa ako dati dito sa forum dun sa ginawa ko na thread about Binance P2P na na hold yung account nya dahil suspicious yung source ng funds ng ka transact nya sa binanceP2P.
~Snipped~
Check nyo ito guys: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5284171.msg56501168#msg56501168
Salamat sa link at almost the same yung case, pero may kaunting difference... Doon sa email na natangap ng mga Reddit posters, pinapayagan na mag withdraw sila pero dun sa case ni @Coin_trader, nalock/nafreeze ang pera niya...
1638  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Lost in conversion on: January 15, 2022, 05:39:31 PM
I have a (modest) amount of Bitcoin in a Bread (Android) wallet,
Are you sure your BRD wallet is synced properly?

I can see all the transactions in the new Electrum wallet, but two of the transactions have an incorrect amount specified, resulting in a too low balance.
I've never encountered that kind of issue, but would you mind answering the following questions?

  • Which version of Electrum is being used?
  • Have you verified it?
  • What's the color of the circle in the bottom right corner?
  • Have you tried changing the server?
1639  Other / Archival / Re: Bitcoin makes a loser a winner on: January 15, 2022, 04:13:35 PM
I did some digging and it seems that out of the four players that were supposed to receive a consolation prize of 25BTC each [worth $41.75 at the time], one of them [Szikszai "Sziky" Miklós] didn't take it [source - not sure for the other three]!

  • Judging by the content of "this thread", I believe "BTCsportsbet.com [archived]" was responsible for those BTCitcoins.
1640  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Brazilian mayor to reportedly invest 1% of city funds in Bitcoin on: January 15, 2022, 01:14:54 PM
Brazilian city Rio de Janeiro's mayor, Eduardo Paes wants to assign 1% of the city’s treasury to Bitcoin.
Regardless of how small that 1% appears to some, I think it's a good start or as @worle1bm mentioned, a "smart move".

The panel also included major Brazilian officials like city finance secretary Pedro Paulo, who noted that the administration is considering a 10% discount on property tax in Brazil on payments with Bitcoin. “Let's study the legal framework to do this,” he said.
If that gets the green light, it'd be big news [especially for those with multiple properties]!

or they are clearly referring to their own cryptocurrency that they plan on releasing?
It's probably a little bit of both [BTCitcoin and their own version of a CityCoin AKA "Crypto Rio" (like what @Lucius referred to: MiamiCoin) [there are a couple more: NYCCoin and AustinCoin]]...
