You mentioned previously we could also rent an exclusive number for a certain period of time, but I had no luck finding such a thing on your website and even your FAQ area contradicts that claim!
^{- You might want to remove that part from OP if it no longer exists.}

May point ka, pero sa tingin ko hindi imposible na tangapin ng mga banko ang Bitcoin bilang collateral dahil pwede pa naman sila umasa sa mga third-party payment processors na nag ooffer ng automatic conversions.

Do you mind explaining the reason behind including "Trustpilot and Stripe" as your partner ^{[e.g. Trustpilot partners and Stripe partners]}?
^{- Using someone else's services, doesn't equate to having a partnership with them!}

It'd be nice to "see" who's behind luty!

Based on the following highlighted part, I don't think they have any:

• Quote from: https://archive.fo/zt46I#selection-387.158-387.260
  Anyone Can Operate A Site Like Luty.io
  We have demonstrated that anyone can operate a fiat to bitcoin on-ramp; they only need a website and a merchant account. No permission was asked nor granted in the production of luty.io .

It does look like a bailout, but if the situation doesn't improve "significantly" in favor of miners ^{[within the next 18 to 24 months]}, then they'll be in a deeper hole while CZ and other providers continuously get the most out of the situation!

I'm confused... How can your registration in the US, offer any kind of "real" protection to investors when the whole thing is taking place in Argentina?
^{- I'm not sure if I missed something but AFAIK, the regulations in there can't have a significant impact on your operations!}

Are you implying that multiple platforms are in the equation?
^{- If the answer to this question is "YES", then you need to mention all of their names.}

If you really have to send the defective HW back, just get a hammer and beat the crap out of it ^{[e.g. like this or this]} and as a finishing touch, use a microwave ^{[be careful]}.

Someone else had" a similar issue 8 months ago" and it seems that you have to contact them a few times on "Twitter ^{[as opposed to their email]}" to get their attention.
^{- It's worth noting that "they shipped to someone 8 months after he/she placed the order" and that perfectly shows what kind of company is behind its operations [SMH]!}

Personally, I don't trust them, but any update on this?

- The Twitter handle of their product head is @PraneshDevaraju
- It seems that the company that's behind it ^{[DOIDO Technologies Pvt Ltd]} has moved its domain from "doido.in" to "doidotech.com":

I haven't tried it yet and even though it's a nice extension, I think it unnecessarily expands the attack surface.

I'm not a regular user of any lightning app, but I just found a few ^{[from "lightning network stores"]} that might be interesting:
^{Note: I can't vouch [DYOR]!}

• Fountain - A podcast app that pays for various things.
• Tweetoshi - Earn or pay Bitcoin on Twitter.
• sMiles - Walk, shop and play games to earn Bitcoin.

What if the exact opposite of this happens? Does it mean any losses can trigger a tax-deductible event or is this one of those one-way solutions that's only in favor of the government?

It heavily depends on the gain... I wouldn't mind paying with Bitcoin if the gain is little to nothing.

Mukhang outdated din ang FAQ/help center pages nila dahil hindi na kasama ang Bitcoin at iba pang cryptocurrencies sa footer area ng main page nila at nung gumawa ako ng test, credit/debit lang ang nakita kong option ^[screenshot]!

• SecuX - If you enter the PIN incorrectly five times, it'll reset the device ^{[refer to #8 and #10]}.
• Ngrave - Ten wrong PIN codes results in the device wiping itself ^[source].

While I was reading the "Wallet and Device Issues ^{[refer to #5]}" section on SecuX, I discovered they also have such a thing in place.

Here are a few:

• Get rid of the stock photos and replace them with real photos!
  
  • Do the same thing with all of the fake reviews ^{[it doesn't take a genius to figure out those are fake]}!
• Provide an in-depth explanation with regard to your so-called "special program"!
  ^{- This isn't the first time I'm seeing these two words together and on all of the previous occasions, none of them could provide valid proof for its existence.}

You're right, but I intentionally didn't include them because I wasn't sure if there was an easy way for them to sell and recoup some of the initial costs to fund their next mining operations.

You have a point that it's "less risky to mine other coins", but I read a few articles yesterday that mentioned it's no longer that profitable ^{[e.g. this and this]}.

If I were to choose a new HW now, it wouldn't be the former... I did that mistake in the past and had an unpleasant experience that led me to go back after a certain time to purchase one of the latter HWs ^{[refer to this post]}.
^{- If money is an issue, then it's always best not to spend or rather waste the little money someone has for a product that might not always work in the way that it intended to (I'm not implying that all of them have issues, but I prefer to go with a reliable brand to save myself from potentially getting headaches in the future)!}

In addition to @bbc.reporter's comment, there's an indirect link in the above article that points to a "tweet" that claims most of the new hash rates are coming from Bitmain's Antminer S19 XP, but I have a feeling that it could also be in connection to a select few companies that were supposed to receive the intel's second-gen mining chips in Q3 of 2022.

  How can Ethereum miners move and mine Bitcoin? The mining algorithms are not the same!
  
  Perhaps @dansus021 was referring to those GPU miners that recently sold their rigs or rather GPUs and replaced them with SHA-256 ASIC miners ^{[personally, I think they might be responsible for only a small percentage of what we're seeing at the moment]}.
  

In addition to what you've already done, you can also try using the following platforms ^{[don't get your hopes up]}:

  ^{Note: AFAIK, most of them aren't providing their services to individuals, but they might come in handy + I prefer to not vouch for their services [DYOR].}
  
  

  • Chainalysis
  • Crystal Blockchain
  • AML bot
  • CipherBlade
  • Elliptic

Unfortunately, "this" isn't the only "fake" website that uses that template/theme:
^{- In order to see a similar layout to the one you posted, replace the "www" part with "h5" (for HTTPS links) and add "m." in front of the last link (HTTP)!}

• coinsokx.com ^[archived]
• biteths.com ^[archived]
• belwm.com ^[archived]
• icea.vip ^[archived]
• dtxcoin.com ^[archived]
• gfncbit.cc ^[archived]
• seecoin.xyz ^[archived]
• icoinsbase.com ^[archived]

I like the idea, but not its execution! I just did a test review on "this provider ^{[please remove it]}" and nothing stopped it from appearing right away on their page ^{[until there's a proper verification system in place (easier said than done), everyone should take all of those reviews with a grain of salt]}.

Good project, but the only way for me to use something like this, is to give a certain type of hint ^{[as opposed to entering my private key]} that could "only" mean something to a specific person, and judging by the screenshots on your website, looks like it can be used for such a thing.

I just checked and it looks like there's Taproot support on "Yogh".
^{- While I was doing the above thing, I noticed the one beneath it [Blockexplorer.one] seems to have added support for such addresses as well, but not sure when it was added exactly.}

---

With regard to "Spiral", I sent a small amount to my Taproot address and it also showed the result with roughly 10-minutes of delay after the confirmation.

You have a point, but there are certain safe platforms out there that apart from educating newcomers on this particular field, also gives them some play/fake money to practice trading based on the actual market behavior ^{[I do know some might argue that it's not going to be the same when they use their own money and I agree, but it's still better than nothing]}.
