Bad news for holders of anonymity coins it seems. This looks like the first delisting of Zcash and Monero and it’ll certainly not be the last.
not sure about this...

A few things:

- I couldn't find any news on BitOasis' twitter account -> https://twitter.com/bitoasis
- Nor any other sources on Twitter that report this 'news'.
- There is thus a possibility this screenshot is doctored.
- They aren't listed on Coinmarketcap nor on Coingecko, which kind of indicates their volume is relatively insubstantial.
- The FinCEN just released guidance that is inconsistent with this action:

People often like to purport that Monero will inevitably get banned. However, the new FinCEN guidance is basically inconsistent with that notion. From the CoinCenter article:

Section 4.5.3 states that exchanges are not per se banned from using privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies but will need to comply with the same BSA regulations they comply with for typical cryptocurrencies. We believe that this is possible. Exchanges need to know their customers but they do not have a black letter law requirement to know the customers of their customers. In other words, a bank needs to know who you are but they are not obligated to know the name and address of people that you pay using cash you withdraw from your account.

Arguably, this is long-term bullish for Monero.

What is the current Monero DAG size? Any link to follow that info?

I was planing on getting used XFX black edition 570 4gb for $80 while the used 8gb is x2 times of the price $150-160.
So I was wondering for how long I can use those 4 gigs cards.

The current size of the Monero blockchain is approximately 70 GB. Pruning will be enabled soon, which will allow the end user to drastically reduce the size on disk (i.e. from ~70 GB to ~25 GB).

I made this silly video some of you guys may appreciate:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHnnj2noPak

Thought I'd share it here for any of you guys that are too cool to visit le reddit.

Love it, sorry out of merit right now, sure deserves some!




Also, I got an important question:

- I want to verify a balance of a certain address WITHOUT exposing the private (spend) key.

Using this tool, I managed to verify balances in the past, using the public address, tx-id and spend-key: https://xmr.llcoins.net/checktx.html
However, when I try with these three right now, it doesn't work. I am wondering, if the tool is somehow "down", or if there is a problem on my end?
Can someone check this? Tried with Firefox and in Chrome, same "result", when I put in all three parameters and press CHECK, *nothing* happens.

Thanks


PS: Also would appreciate if someone could guide me to an other method (maybe using the GUI wallet?) on how to easily prove a XMR balance without private spend key import.

That tool uses MoneroBlocks to fetch transactions. MoneroBlocks may have been temporarily offline and/or stuck.

With respect to a guide, have you looked at?

https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/2868/is-there-any-way-to-construct-a-transaction-manually/

The first steps of that guide allow one to set up a proper view only wallet that shows incoming transactions, outgoing transactions, as well as a proper balance.

Who the fuck is BitOasis and who the fuck cares?

Bad new for the retards who use an exchange in a dictatorship and use an exchange to store their coins but otherwise Meh.

But that doesn't affect the graphic cards memory right?

?

The blockchain is the "database" that you store on your HDD / SSD. Your GPU memory is totally indifferent to that.

Still in the unlikely event its not just faked? they will in that case seem to be suggesting a coin burn. Great. (or maybe they gonna disappear it?)

[Last of the V8s]

My apologies for fudding y'all with that
Seems the guy ari_whatever is some shitcoin supporter.
'Craig's coming for you...' seems to be the message.

Oh shit, having seen the elegance of his takedown of BTC I am terrified!

Hey any of you guys tried this Abra APP for ACH transfers?
I need a new on/offramp.
They state ZERO FEE for ACH!

https://www.abra.com/

And look. monero as the top icon in the vid.

Any Abra users please report.  Inquiring minds want to know

This interested me.

https://www.finextra.com/pressarticle/75455/abra-adds-monero-to-platform

Riccardo "fluffypony" Spagni, the South African-based Lead Maintainer of the Monero Project, said Monero's inclusion on the Abra platform would further boost the ability of investors in emerging markets across Africa and the world to unlock new markets and opportunities.

"Together with Abra, we share a common goal of creating a system of global financial services that have no centralised authorities involved in their creation, distribution, enforcement or usage," said Spagni. "Beyond that, the increased liquidity and awareness for Monero that Abra will generate is an incredibly exciting development for the Monero community."

What I remember of ABRA, but my info could be old they dont allow for you to withdraw Monero . Just Bitcoin. You can buy Monero there and hold it, but when you want to withdraw you need to change into Bitcoin.

It's a wallet isn't it? Why wouldn't you be able to spend coins from a wallet?

The entire original design was initially based on transferring money for migrant workers like western union does.

If I get the drive I'll open an account and give it a go. I started the other day but they wanted a phone number so I'll have to setup a temp one to use.

I was hoping someone already did this, its been almost a year.

It's worth reading how abra explains its functioning

https://www.abra.com/blog/abras-synthetic-currency/

I'm still not sure what cryptos you can withdraw.

I see what your saying now, its pretty shadey the wording they use. Apparently they are pegging 80 coins but only allowing actual withdrawal of

Code:

Withdrawal

US banks	show me	show me
 Philippines banks	show me	 show me
 *Tellers 	show me	 show me
 Bitcoin 	show me	 show me
 Litecoin	show me	 show me
 Bitcoin Cash	show me	 show me
 Ether	show me	 show me

Even though they state you own your own keys with multisig.

It's pretty slick wording and probably illegal.

I believe they are targeting the next crypto hype in 2020-2021. Those new people will not really care much of private keys. They will just want to buy something fast.

Sounds pretty solid to me, by the way.

I thought I had read that Monero was adopted as one of the coins being held in the wallet and that is what I cared about, haveing a on/offramp.

I could care less about the pegged exchange.


ADDED:

OK, I have found the pertinent info.

However, you can withdrawal and to an altcoin address: (0x (ZRX), Augur (REP), Basic Attention Token (BAT), Bitcoin Gold (BTG), Dash (DASH), Digibyte (DGB), Doge (DOGE), EOS (EOS), Classic (ETC), Golem (GNT), Lisk (LSK), Monero (XMR), NEM (XEM), Neo (NEO), OmiseGo (OMG), Qtum (QTUM), XRP (XRP), Status (SNT), Stellar (XLM), Stratis (STRAT), Tron (TRN), Vertcoin (VTC), or Zcash (ZEC)) but network fees are different as we still do not natively support our altcoins yet.

Anytime a withdrawal is done for an altcoin you will be charged a bitcoin network fee plus a Bittrex withdrawal fee. As we do not natively support our altcoins at this time, they are still synthetic within the Abra app. When a withdraw is initiated for an altcoin the underlining currency is still bitcoin, thus you will be charged the bitcoin network fee. In the background, Abra is using Bittrex to exchange BTC for the altcoin you are withdrawing. Bittrex charges a withdrawal fee. Due to this, the Bittrex fee is passed to you the user.

So yes, they were using some shady wording and by one measure you can "withdraw" (actually you convert to btc then rebuy on bittrex and then withdraw from there).

SO basically that Orange statement is a straight out lie.
