Do not leave your coins on exchanges if you don't need to trade. I don't care how many bitcoins are in their multisig. *Your* setup is multiple times more secure than an industrial-grade setup whose website accounts are targetted by thousands of the smartest hackers on the internet.
And then on top of that the exchange itself is working against you. I repeat, do not throw away your hard-earned money this way!

Sadly >90 % of users that buy bitcoin still see the whole Bitcoin system as a centralized currency with a centralized entity. To them, CEX's such as Coinbase, Binance et all are the only point of truth and the only ground where their funds are safe, just like traditional banking (the fun fact is that, even people's money stored in banks is lent in a ridiculous amount of times
).
I try my best to divert such topics and help pave the way to sovereign to some users in Reddit, but mostly on subs that are not geared towards CEX's and are more geared towards welcoming new users into this space. I usually get happy if I'm able to steer at least 1 user from the usual path of CEX->KYC->Buy BTC, but that comes with a lot of time invested in the discussion...

Let's see how this goes[1] - Proton CEO already said that they would leave[2] the country if this were to pass
Proton already worked with authorities many times, disclosing customer emails and personal detials, I think they even contributed to people getting arrested, so yeah I don't trust anything they say.EU and UK are making big law changes, and they are preparing for digital ID, digital wallets, CBDC and all that crap.
I am sure they will try to target VPN services and anything related with privacy

Re: Carteira de Bitcoin cobrando 'taxa de inatividade' (saldos inteiros!)
Acho justo que se cobre pela inatividade, pois pensa comigo... os cara tem um custo para manter os serviços de pé, seja com infraestrutura própria ou em nuvem. Então alguém que é ativo e movimenta sua conta sempre vai estar pagando uma taxinha aqui e ali no recebimento, transferências, conversões, saques, etc... isso já é o suficiente para cobrir os custos operacionais.
Mas, se você usa o serviço como um banco, não gera receita pra eles mas quer que ele esteja ativo 24hs porque a qualquer momento quer ter o direito de mexer no 'seu dinheiro', então porque não cobrar uma taxa para você manter esse valor guardado lá?
Porém, não estou defendendo cobranças abusivas, osprints do X que foram publicados a seguir realmente são cobranças ridículas... um preço justo para cobrir custos é uma coisa, roubo é outra!
Se estivermos a falar da banca tradicional, a maior parte das taxas que são cobradas (transferência entre contas, manutenção de conta, entre outras) são deploráveis e perversas. Digo isto por uma razão simples - os bancos têm o negócio mais fácil e rentável do mundo : Eles fazem milhões ao emprestar dinheiro que não é deles. E fazem isto de forma constante e, de certa forma, de forma ilimitada. Aconselho a lerem os conceitos que suportam este "ciclo" vicioso (e muito perigoso) - Fractional Reserve Banking[1][2] e Liquidity Coverage Ratio[3]. Em suma, no meio dos milhões que os bancos fazem à nossa custa, adicionarem taxas sobre os serviços que prestam é, mais uma vez, perverso e algo que me afasta da maior parte dos bancos.Mas, se você usa o serviço como um banco, não gera receita pra eles mas quer que ele esteja ativo 24hs porque a qualquer momento quer ter o direito de mexer no 'seu dinheiro', então porque não cobrar uma taxa para você manter esse valor guardado lá?

Realmente essa é a parte estranha da historia.
Não faz muito sentido, eles aplicarem uma taxa desse nível. Até porque sabiam a partida, que todo o mundo iria cair em cima disso.
Tem de haver alguma coisa por detrás desse valor de taxa. Podemos não concordar, mas pode haver alguma "logica" por detrás. Será que era uma percentagem, tipo 1% do saldo?
Depois, eles informaram com antecedência que iriam cobrar a taxa?
A forma de calcular é simples - se depois dos 12 meses a conta legacy continuar inactiva, todo o saldo é zerado[4] Não faz muito sentido, eles aplicarem uma taxa desse nível. Até porque sabiam a partida, que todo o mundo iria cair em cima disso.

To manage these inactive accounts effectively, we reserve the right to deduct the entire remaining balance from a user’s legacy Alby Account with a shared wallet after 12 consecutive months of inactivity, defined as no completed transactions during that period. This fee applies only to inactive legacy Alby Accounts with a shared wallet created 2023 and before and does not affect active or inactive Alby Hubs, fee credits, or other wallets connected to an Alby Account. If you have any doubts about whether your balance is affected, please contact us at support.getalby.com.
Por um lado, o serviço refere que tem andado a avisar os clientes há uns meses sobre esta mudança. Independetemente de concordarmos ou não, o prestador de serviços é livre de fazer alterações aos termos e condições de forma livre, desde que comunicado atempadamente aos clientes. Resta depois o cliente avaliar se continua a utilizar o serviço ou não.Se tivesse os meus fundos nesse serviço, especialmente as quantias que têm vindo a ser "zeradas", nunca iria desprezar qualquer tipo de comunicação do serviço e estaria sempre atento - mais uma vez, "não temos as chaves, não temos as moedas". Contudo, reconheço que a maior parte dos utilizadores que usam este tipo de serviço tem conhecimento muito limitado sobre o ecosistema do Bitcoin e acaba por ser desleixado com estes temas...
A Alby pode, perfeitamente, restituir as quantias removidas numa conta nova aos clientes afectados - contudo já entra na "boa graça" do serviço, uma vez que os termos são claros...
Moral da história : "Não temos as chaves, não temos as moedas"

Probably I'm late to the party, but try your best to make a transaction with a signed user @bitmover. That will enable you to also have a elevated account limit[1] on the payment method that you've used, which in turn will allow you to buy more bitcoin per day. However, as others mentioned, there's limits on the amount that you're able to buy, which is directly tied to your payment method - see here[2] for more details.
Thanks RickDeckard
For now I am still just selling. And to get a "signed account" I need to buy from a signed user. I will probably do that in the bear market only
But there is no limit to how much btc I can sell, so no problem for now
Other than that, keep at it! Bisq is great but has a somewhat steep learning curve - please let me know if you need further help with it.

As for fees, it's a matter of timing - I know of cases where users were able to buy bitcoin with a rate bellow the market value (biggest I know was of -1,5 %). As long as the fee is within the price you're willing to pay, getting KYC-free bitcoins never gets old.

I mean, seriously, what can any company do to avoid government's intervention forever?

Sorry about that ico, didn't mean to cause any misunderstanding between you and Steph. I didn't knew you were still leading the bridge, but that has been cleared now.
Keep up the good work! Also, do you know if they have some roadmap for features or even expansion plans for 2025?
Work continues. The PeachBitcoin mini-campaign was paused just to redirect some money to a new developer. Also Steph has already started looking for additional funding, (a year ago, Steph even gave me a corporate email and I helped her with this by making several information templates and sending out emails) so anyone who has 5 bitcoins can report it and we can discuss the prospects.Keep up the good work! Also, do you know if they have some roadmap for features or even expansion plans for 2025?

Canaries are trust based and even if there was a warrant why would they announce it when they would lose customers?
A canary is a way of saying something without saying it, so you'll still know something happened even if they're not allowed to disclose it. If they'd lie about this, they loose all the trust they have.[1]https://mullvad.net/en/blog/mullvad-vpn-was-subject-to-a-search-warrant-customer-data-not-compromised

It's subjective.
Yes, our thread is automated. We are spending $0 right now, and without automation our thread will be lost on the back pages of the section.
It doesn't matter how much a users likes a peach if the thread is dead.
I'm also a little disappointed that you contacted Steph before you asked me about it (especially considering that I gave you her contact).

Hey Peach Bitcoin, I don't know if you are using some bot for reposting this tweets, but it looks very bad.
Several people asked some genuine questions in the past and you never answered any of them.
You should really engage more and talk with bitcointalk community.
+1 hereSeveral people asked some genuine questions in the past and you never answered any of them.
You should really engage more and talk with bitcointalk community.
It's a bit tiring and quite useless to automatically post a new tweet here. After all, this is a forum, a place where real people exchange opinions and share information.
I think it would be better without automated tweet reposts.
Once a month, someone from the team can come and give some answers to the user's questions.
Probably this won't be seen either, because the bot can't read the comments here.
On a positive note, it's great to see the positive reviews on Apollo[1]. Really interested to know what has been the volume that Peach has been trading in the past few weeks / months to extrapolate the growth...

This is how the story starts and I can tell you that it will end badly for one of the two person involved in it, care to guess to whom? Cease all communications with such user, block it and report as spam/scam.

I wonder how OP will react to term "slave/master" and "whitelist/blacklist" without knowing the context.
Reserving my seat in the thread for when OP claims that the gang members are bots considering some posts happen at specific periods of time (the damn flux capacitor keeps leaking...)I suppose that by now you are already trying NYM, so looking forward to your feedback. Cure53 have also recently released an audit[1] where most of NYM was audited and, in their conclusions, there's an interesting take:
Hello, not really, I am still using Mullvad. But I plan to do it soon enough and I 'll post in this thread, because I am curious as well.
I plan to test:
1. IVPN
2. NYM
[1]https://www.ivpn.net/resources/canary.txt
You need to test it first so I wish NYM adds daily plans.
In 24 days my monthly Mullvad subscription will end. Then I 'll try NYM. And finally I will conclude in one of these 2, unless I find another option to test. With Mullvad, I don't have a speed limitation so far, I am more than good with it. In terms of privacy, as I said I paid with XMR, using TOR browser, without an email registration and essentially I am "unknown".

Nym's decentralized approach to servers hopes to mitigate the risk of centralized logging rather than depend on the possibly misleading assurance given by a no-log audit of a centralized entity. However, even decentralized servers can not be meaningfully subjected to a no-logs audit.

Look who's back online: isfoxpupstillansfwvixen.today! I restored the data on my new server. I'm currently funding Njalla, and I'll move the domain before it expires. Loyce.club has until the end of this year at Namecheap.
Amaze/Jazz Hands[1]. The legacy continues My first disappointment with Njalla is unfortunately very common: to add €180 credit and pay in Bitcoin, they charge 10% more than that.
Odd. What I am used to see is the opposite - the ones that push for more privacy usually also do it by motivating crypto payments, by offering a discount on purchases[4][5]. I guess it depends on the perspective of the business...I'll eventually bug you in the future regarding your experience with Njalla

The only cost is the domain name, it's small enough to add to my existing hosting.
With legacy in mind, I wouldn't mind support the domain cost, if you so allow. The feeling of intrigue that occurs when a (new)user randomly encounters this link is more than worth it.I've been thinking about Njalla since nullius mentioned it years ago (...)
My only setback with Njalla - which seems to get some of their domains from Tucows[1] - was the one that I mentioned before:Quote
What separates Njalla from traditional domain name registration services?
We're not actually a domain name registration service, we're a customer to these. We sit in between the domain name registration service and you, acting as a privacy shield.
When you purchase a domain name through Njalla, we own it for you. However, the agreement between us grants you full usage rights to the domain. Whenever you want to, you can transfer the ownership to yourself or some other party.
This is also complemented in their TOS (which took a while for me to find in their website[2]):We're not actually a domain name registration service, we're a customer to these. We sit in between the domain name registration service and you, acting as a privacy shield.

Additionally, their TrustPilot reviews[3] (which we have to take with a grain of salt), aren't looking good as well. But, once again, we don't know what type of services were this users hosting, we can only speculate.9.2 1337 may in its sole discretion, also terminate the Services and these Terms and choose to keep, suspend or cancel your domain name registration if:

So, to sum it up, they pretty much control everything, so if something happens in the future, you may lose access to your domain without any chance for a discussion or anything related. I guess backups would be your best friends in this scenario...
There's another option, maybe you're interested: IncogNET.io. I've read about it on Lowendtalk.com, it's owned by someone named "MannDude" there. I think Njalla has been around longer, but those are the only two providers I've found that don't ask for any information.
I honestly had never found references to that service, I will definitely look it up. The website loads a little slow for me, but probably it's due to my internet. In my quick search I wasn't able to find a lot of references to the service (other than some small Reddit threads) but I'll explore it better. It's a shame that the two services that I would definitely use (Youtube and Reddit proxy) are down[4] at the moment.[1]https://njal.la/blog/hijack/
