He probably thinks it is funny one way or another.  

I know that previously his title was something along the lines of "Golden Member"/"Lamborgini Member". I guess those have gone out of fashion, hence the change.

I don't think that that's something that's easily done effectively, and it's rather useless.

x2ing the fees when you're already paying the "expected" fees to get into the next block  seems unnecessary? It's not like a block will be mined faster because of that.

If there is a sudden spike in transactions, it's usually smarter to set fees manually, as the dynamic allocator will usually either let you pay too much fees, or not enough.
Use a tool such as https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,24h to check the mempool.

Their CEO stated in september 2017 that their servers were located in Korea, https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=420&v=LW9QHtLVK-k, but since then they have moved their headquarters to Malta?. I think.

See https://blockonomi.com/binance-malta/

After that it became unknown where (In what country) their servers are located. OR if they are still located in Korea.

This their universal response when asked where their servers are located;

If i recall correctly, something someone in the State of New york already called for an investigation against Binance because they were breaking several laws. (Just like Poloniex was in that jurisdiction.)

This might be it. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/york-says-three-crypto-exchanges-184626208.html?guccounter=1

Why would you empty your wallet? What exactly does that mean?

You create a new wallet.dat and thus transfer all your funds over to that wallet  for every new version of Bitcoin Core?

If there was no vulnerability regarding the accessing of funds, i don't really see a reason to do that. (Except if you're upgrading from a version that's >16.0 ?)

Hmm okay, so you might not be dealing with a user directly, but someone on the other end is buying the product you listed & shipping it to you, right? How about the adresses it needs to be shipped to? They have to fill those in too right? I'm not so sure if that's something i'd approve of.

I'm not really a big fan of P2P deals since those usually end up going wrong, or have a big potential to.

Bitrefill looks pretty good. It's kind of confusing though, first the code is valid for all Amazon.com stores, but when you go to the USA section & actually try to order one it explicitely says that it is only valid for *usa amazon.

But when you then switch to the german "version/card", it doesn't say that.

The USA GC is simply called "Amazon USA", while the German version is called "Amazon PIN", and the UK version "Amazon UK" (Does this mean that the UK& GER version have no restrictions, and can be used everywhere?)

I guess i'll try bitrefill GER/UK with a small amount and see if it actually works.

I was looking for an easy way to buy products on Amazon with bitcoin.

As they don't accept bitcoins directly i soon found the likes of https://purse.io/, but the reviews people have given this site and others that function the same way (Giftcards that people spend on your products are often carded/product never arrives/et al) didn't particularly satisfy me.

Copay however offers to sell you *legit* Amazon gifcards, at a 1:1 ratio, with no KYC/third parties required whatsoever - correct?

https://blog.bitpay.com/buy-amazon-gift-cards-with-bitcoin/
1-500$ a day. Seems OK. what exactly are the fees on this is what i'm also pretty curious about..

The blogpost is pretty dated - 2016, so i'm wondering how accurate this still is.


Especially with sites like https://www.gyft.com/ no longer offering Amazon GC (for bitcoin), because (i believe) they got restricted by Amazon from doing so. Why has this not happend to Copay & co? They offer the exact same service as far as i can see.

A middleman in a business model that already involves being a (rather useless) middleman. Can you go any deeper than this?

Kudo's to you if you can make this work, but i don't see how this is viable for any customer? Won't anyone who is slightly familiar with the crypto market buy directly from the exchange in question (Shapeshift/Changelly), effectively cutting you and your "partners" out?

I was wondering, since i might be missing something, your platform itself doesn't exchange any coins right? It's all done through third-parties?

*You can open a loan request anywhere from 0.01 to 500BTC. There really is no garantuee that it will be fullfilled. Quite the opposite actually -- I'd say you're quite lucky if it gets filled, as it's P2P and there are no loaners really..


BTCPOP.co acts as if they're some sort of loan service, while most if not all traffic that they are getting is from their faucets.
See - https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/btcpop.co


They also offer cloud mining, which seems quite odd for such a website. Are they really buying mining equipment for a couple dozen customers? I doubt it...

I feel like it's the same question as to whether or not Jesus exists.

There might be some technical analysis applicable, but really, anyone who self-proclaims himself as a TA "Expert" is someone i really would think twice about partnering up with.

IF he ("self-proclaimed TA expert") really is a TA "expert", he wouldn't need your new and "shitty" project. He could make TONS and TONS of money by simply playing the market. (That's what he's an expert in afterall, -- predicting the market.)

I've heard of some other websites, but they're all extremely sketchy/seem dead.

Supposedly:

https://nebeus.com - no clue how it works really.
here's a thread about them, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3404490.0

https://www.bitbond.com/ - Know nothing about them, + negative trust here on the forum.
ANN, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=248441.0;all

Some google searches also return ethereum-based lending websites. Not sure if that's exactly what you're interested in though.

(https://saltlending.com/) - not really that much information available.

(https://ethlend.io/#/main) - ANN/bounty thread, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2013399.0

That just sounds extremely childish. The forum already has enough restrictions for newbie members as it is.

Honestly i don't see why anyone would come here voluntarily anymore if they have to fill in some stupid tests about mostly non-enforced rules.
(Look around, this forum already is spammers' paradise.)

What this does effectively  is adding yet another barrier to people who actually come here to contribute, and an easy obstacle for money hungry spammers to pass. (It's not like this is going to stop them all of a sudden...  ) Sure, they might fail the test once, but then they'll just do it again and continue shitposting.

I doubt Binance will ever adapt KYC laws voluntarily. Where did you get that information from? AFAIK they keep server locations a secret, they don't care how many "unverified" accounts you open, and have also announced that they will launch a DEX in the near future.

The entire reason they became popular really was because Polo/Bittrex did force KYC. I feel like Binance will be replaced just as fast if they were to do so too.

Could be that he just wants to pump his BNB coin, but i seriously doubt that when you have an exchange averaging a billion$ a day (=more $ in fees than BNB could ever make them)

Oh, you mean the likes of Poloniex/Bittrex who duped and lied to their customers? Yeah, those sure are legit!  

It's indeed also Official (Unofficial) forum policy to only use english in global boards.

They shouldn't. Reporting their post should also cause removal of said post.

So KYC is a requirement for all customers on your exchange? How do you expect us to just blindly trust you with such personal data, especially when there are already way more established exchanges out there? What makes it lucrative/worth the "risk" to use your exchange is basically what i'm wondering?

Your fee schedule says 0.3%, but when you go to https://geniuex.com/crypto_station & reculcate the amount of BTC you get for 200$ (roughly 196.2$ = 2% in fees).

which is roughly the same as established exchanges (Bitstamp et al charge 2% for a withdrawal.)

I think it is the first thread that was asked by a user directly on this forum, instead of satoshi rephrasing a question of a user through IRC.

You do have these topics;

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=12.0 - user suggesting improvements.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=8.0 - answering a question asked by someone on what i presume must've been IRC?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7.0 - another question answered by someone from IRC.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6.0 - And another.

Not sure why anyone would really be interested in the chronological order of certain topics though.. 

Are you trying to connect to a node or are you running a node?

did this problem introduced itself suddenly, or was it after a software/hardware change? Were you ever able to connect/let connections be made without problems?

As of right now it seems to me that there could be many reasons for you not being able to connect; (Firewall, portforwarding, software issues.)

Maybe you could post the entirety of the debug.log so the issue might become a bit more clear for the users that are trying to help?

700.000 (clicks?) per day/impressions, yet your website has an Alexa of ~16 million - which roughly translates to >100 visits.

Ofcourse you might route all your traffic through another domain, but still, no traffic at all going to your advertising site from those 700.000 impressions? Seems off.

https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/cryptoadz.net

Also, i checked all the publishers listed on your site;

https://altcointube.tv/ - Can't find your banners anywhere on their site?

http://coindesk.live/ -- Doesn't list any banners, and also doesn't use HTTPs. (My god.)

http://bitaccelerator.io/ No banners, no HTTPS.

Where exactly are you getting your daily 700k impressions from? It sure as hell isn't from these sites you listed on your site..



What  am i not getting?

There are more people becoming less interested in the coins than that there are people becoming interested in them. (Capital-wise obv, but there are also way less transactions these last couple of months.)

Now why exactly people are becoming less interested in bitcoin can be for numerous reasons -

- It's dropping in price (self-fulfilling prophecy),
- they no longer feel the FOMO and decide to cash out etc..
- they no longer believe in the idea behind BTC.

Sounds interesting and promising, but i'm missing the catch. - Why exactly is it open-sourced like this? Is there some sort of commision you guys want to take per transaction or?

Also -- this was the original project -- correct? https://github.com/peatio/peatio

Are there any demo's up yet? I don't see any sites linked in the github. Would love to see the actual product.

From what i can find on the internet, it definitely shouldn't hurt to upgrade to a newer version.

Might the amount of voltage your miners have access to possibly be the issue here?
