Thanks everyone! This issue has now been sorted out (at least regarding bitni.com).

While the admin of bitni.com was rather slow to react, he did help me and eventually provided me with the proof of payment. Turned out that the party who was supposed to receive this payment ( https://shitcoins.club/ ) had an issue in their payment receiving software and did not credit the payment to me. While they had actually received the funds they refused to help me unless I provide them with a link to the block explorer showing that my transaction has been confirmed. Thanks to the proof of payment I received from the admin of bitni.com I am now able to give shitcoins.club the link to the block explorer as demanded.

So, what we learned from all this... Bitni.com provides a rather mediocre service, which by itself fails to provide the user with the critical information such as a proof of payment. In case of problems there is not much the customer can do other than to contact the slow-reacting administrator of the service. As for shitcoins.club, they should have been able to verify my payment on their own, knowing the payment amount, approximate date and the receiving address. They chose to demand the payment proof from me instead, which was highly complicated due to the fact that the payment originated from an exchange and BEAM tokens have privacy features that make solely address based queries impossible for third parties. Whether shitcoins.club is hoping to keep the money for themselves in case I fail to provide them with the proof or whether they are just lazy and incompetent is currently unknown as I am still waiting for the funds to be credited.

Thanks for the reddit thread link. I tried to search myself too but didn't find anything except that same old Chinese bitcointalk thread.

I made the (~2000$) transaction yesterday and it didn't go through. Sent e-mails to all 3 support e-mail addresses and haven't got a reply in 4 hours. They clearly use deceptive marketing regarding the "24/7 support".

I will give them a couple of days to reply before jumping into conclusions.

Does anyone know if bitni.com is trustworthy?

It says on the page "Need Help? Expert 24/7 support is ready to assist you."

But I haven't received an answer to my question.

That's what I did actually. I have 2 keyboards simultaneously connected to the PC. One is wireless which I seldomly use when I need to type from the bed. The regular one has a wire.

This topic is about saving messages and multimedia on the block chain of BitCoin. As much as you have the itch to discuss Craig Wright here, it is still offtopic and should be avoided.

If he's such a criminal then why don't you sue him? You're all talk and no walk. Disrespect.

Didn't you just read what I said? 1 GB transaction. No other block chain can support so large transactions. Hell, Bitcoin Core has 1 MiB block size limit but we're speaking of 1 GiB TX size limit. The block size is unlimited. Now that's what we can call scaling. You wave around with that fraud word loud enough and you will end up in court for libel. Be careful! There's plenty of proof online that Craig Wright is the sole inventor of Bitcoin. His name is even under the Bitcoin whitepaper. It's really laughable that in 2020 we have still people around who live in denial  but all will be clear by the end of this year.

BSV hands down. Next month there will be the genesis upgrade which lifts the maximum size of transaction up to 1 GigaByte! After that there is no better block chain for data storage than the one of the original Bitcoin (BSV).

Pfft, BitCoin has plenty of these...

Actually CryptoGraffiti.info now features only the Original BitCoin (BSV). Neither BCH nor BTC follow the specification of BitCoin and are thus airdrop forks from the original. 51% attack is economically unfeasible.

For the record /r/cryptocurrency is the biggest pump-and-dump HODL scam nest on Reddit. Not being allowed to post there is in fact something to be proud of. That sub is oozing of lambo bois, fraudulent ICOs and money launderers who collude to pump everything that ultimately aligns with the Blockstream agenda (which is to thwart any real innovation in the space).

A couple of reasons why Byteball is not welcome there:
1. it was NOT launched as an ICO and none of the owners of r/cryptocurrency profit from Byteball's success
2. it attempts to solve real world problems, posing as an actual threat to the supremacy of Blockstream Token Coin (BTC) and Methereum (ETH)

TLDR: r/cryptocurrency is corrupt to the roots, Byteball is not corrupt and Byteball's success does not correlate well with the scamfest that is r/cryptocurrency and r/Bitcoin

Oh this is you sgbett didn't know you still come to the speculation subforum here. I stopped posting here when segwit happened.

^^^^
I rest my case, lambo boi



You must be so butthurt by now that you can't recognize a joke even if it's deliberately accompanied with an emoticon 

I mean, didn't the words "Tony's Vision" make you see a parallel with "Satoshi's Vision". Sure, the weather in Estonia is shit, but you don't have to let it affect your sense of humor, do you?

I'm sorry that you're fat and didn't buy bitcoin when it was cheap, but taking your bile onto others is just amplifying your already poor condition. Now you're fat, poor and don't have any friends either. How is this any  better? As a good old Estonian, always hating on his successful neighbor, right?

As for measuring and comparing dicks ( git PRs ), I've long outgrown from that phase. You will see what I've been working on when it's done.

Apparently you have no idea what I've done for Byteball, not surprisingly though, because I was here long before you. Not only in terms of Byteball but in cryptocurrency general. You can see from my bitcointalk forum profile that I joined in early 2012. I got into bitcoin when it was cheap (4$) and I got into byteball when 1 gbyte was 10$. not to mention all the free gbytes I received during the initial distribution thanks to the bitcoins I linked. I am not surprised though, that you keep spitting bile at me, because you are one jealous (and fat) laggard which is apparent in your behavior. You appeared on the scene during the euphoria phase of the last rally and you know it and you are trying to hide it by being quick to downtalk "those other lambo boys" (but not you, oh no, you are not like THEM). You compensate with petty talk and arguments the shortcomings in other aspects of your image, trying too hard to fit in and "contribute". It's so obvious and it's disgusting.

As for my contribution, I have developed a functional Byteball casino which goes much farther than just a chat bot messenger. Not to mention that I provided the community with a C++ function for a byteball address validation and a bb2tcp proxy that let's anyone easily convert byteball connections to plaintext TCP. I guess while you've been busy talking the talk I've been busy walking the walk, as I disappeared from the slack roughly at the time I started developing the Byteball casino project (almost 2 years ago). But, you? A web site that puts your avatar inside an O-letter?! WTF? Are you making a joke here or what? You are talking about contribution and your own contribution is like a rookie level programming task completed by someone who even didn't learn software development in school but took it up by themselves as a hobby.


Softening things up there, aren't we? You have now resorted to shifting goalposts like all losers do when they have no other options. No problem, you stupidly chose the worst position to defend, so changing your opinion now is perfectly fine. What is not fine is the fact that you don't have balls to admit your mistakes and you are trying to smoothly shift the goal post without losing face.


A paid slack plan allows guest access. The platform would still be open for everybody. There was no good reason to switch away from slack and you know it. I never joined that discord and I never will. Probably best would be to fork the Byteball platform to maintain the original Tony's vision as defined in the Byteball's whitepaper  . It would be good in a sense that we would also get rid of cockroaches like you, Tarmo, because clearly you have no understanding of the economic incentives that are of grave importance when it comes to scaling Byteball for the whole world. Right now, the worst thing about Byteball is the community as it's been infested by brainwashed moon lambo boys who think that cryptos are all about holding hands and doing pump-and-dumps around a socialist campfire.

Byteball could scale really well if the economic incentives were right. It requires witnesses to professionalize and invest in hardware. Right now the greatest threat to byteball is the widespread fallacy that home users need to run nodes and validate transactions. Tony was smart enough to provide the lite wallet from the beginning but the idea of professional nodes has not been emphasized enough. I have not yet lost all hope for Byteball, but recent developments are not to be proud of. For example, the Byteball Improvement Protocol initiative could flush the whole project down the toilet. Just because Blockstream Token (BTC) uses it does not mean it's a good idea. You see, a base layer of money has to be rock solid and never change so that businesses could build on it. Bitcoin Core is doing it wrong and I am hurt to see Byteball going the same direction. You don't see the IP or TCP changing once every 6 months, do you? Internet would not exist if IP had an IPIP (internet protocol improvment protocol) and self-proclaimed shitlords using it as a personal experiment for whatever wild ideas they get.

The good thing is that it is true that with proper economic incentives, hardware and software, Byteball would have no problem scaling for the whole world. Also, Tony hasn't personally said anything stupid yet, so even if the community is full of brainwashed morons such as Tarmo, as long as Tony is not listening them and drives the project to the right direction, I can keep building on Byteball.

I'm a Byteball dev and a service provider for the byteball platform and I'm still going to call it byteball because I never agreed with Obyte as it's an inconvenient name to pronounce and it looks weird. If you were going to change the name then at least do it right, or are you planning on doing this every year now so you don't need to put much effort into it? Makes me wonder. Anyway, the management has taken a step to the worse in multiple fronts so I'm not even mad. Dropping slack for an inferior service, changing the name into a worse one, having all these moon lambo bois like tarmo888 making dumb comments like "scaling can only come AFTER adoption". I'm glad the price is pumping with those pump and dump news though, because I am increasingly seeking for an exit from this project. It had all the potential in the world but is now screwed due to the uneducated but vocal moon lambo bois who joined the project with the last rally (2017/2018).

I think poloniex is legit now. They were acquired by circle you know. Haven't heard anyone complaining so far.

for the record, they finally accepted my verification documents, had to send one photo over e-mail which is a sign that they handled my case manually at last.

This whole thing started when they decided to disable my account without prior notice, forcing me into KYC. I've submitted the KYC photos 3 times by now. Any self-respecting anti-fraud expert would have given me a green light by now, but not them. I wonder why? They know full well that I am the person who I claim to be, yet they are trying to delay my KYC. The value of my balance at bittrex is currently ~11000$. Sort of makes me want to go through with this

I initiated an ID verification on Bittrex.

To protect myself against possible future identity theft (when Bittrex gets hacked), I wrote Bittrex.com and the current date on a transparent plastic strip and I attached the strip to my passport in a way that it does not cover anything important. I got the basic idea from here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/LifeProTips/comments/2icgq9/lpt_if_you_really_need_to_upload_an_id_scan/?st=jq0v3ovg&sh=73db4524



This way, if Bittrex.com gets hacked and customer ID photos leak into the darknet, criminals would have hard time using the photo of my passport to conduct KYC at some other service provider. Since the label is physically attached to the passport before taking the photo, I am not violating the terms which say that photo manipulation is forbidden.

On the one hand, I prove to Bittrex that I am really the person that I claim to be.
On the other hand, if Bittrex goes rogue or gets hacked, my identity will still be safe.

Great! So what's the problem?

The problem is that Bittrex insists on me removing this label even though I am not violating any rules. I have not used any photo editing tools to manipulate the photo in any way. The image is scanned in high detail, allowing experts to easily verify that both the label and the ID document are authentic. Why on earth does Bittrex insist on me removing that label then?

Unless, they are illegally selling the KYC photos of their customers to 3rd parties. And of course, a photo like mine would not make them any money.

I have used this same exact method to verify my account on other exchanges and there has been no problem with it.



EDIT 26-12-2018:

They asked me to send them another photo (me holding a paper with text bittrex, the date and also holding my government issued ID). I was able to send that photo over e-mail, which means they finally approached my case manually. After that they enabled my account (YAY!). I immediately bought BSV for all the funds I had there  and withdrew them all. Never looking back though.

Di-Methyl-Tryptamine?

Are you for fucking real?

Is this naming intentional?
