    Where the heck did you all go?

    What did you expect?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2019 12:22 AM PST

    Some days ago there was some guy posting about even though he'd transferred BTC from a gambling site to his own wallet and only then to Coinbase (or whatever centralized exchange it was), the exchange had now seized the BTC and/or started asked questions.

    Yesterday there was a monster thread complaining about intrusive KYC questions from Bitstamp.

    I don't get it.

    You lot are using transparent (privacyless) blockchains AND complaining that your transactions can, have, and ARE being actively tracked?!.

    You use centralized exchanges that under the force of law are REQUIRED to spy and report you AND you complain that they rape your privacy?.

    Seriously, it's time to wake up.

    The fourth reich is sprawled all over this planet. The wires are tapped, your internet activity is logged, your cellphone location and metadata is stored and automatically analyzed, your bank transactions/history have long been fair game, and..

    What did you expect ?

    That your crypto transactions would not be? On a transparent blockchain?!

    Wake up.

    The powers that be have been hard at work to account for every cent you own, under the guise of anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorism, for years.

    We had FATCA and now we have the CRS, bank privacy has been severely eroded over the last decade, civil asset forfeiture is going to become a thing in Europe (the US has long been down that rabbit hole, somehow I doubt that US law enforcement is going to give up such a sweet deal), major "first-world" governments are pushing the cashless society concept forward like it's going out of style, and..

    What did you expect ?

    That they would leave crypto, where YOU can be the bank, where you DON'T depend on third parties to process (and thus control, censor and surveil) your transactions, alone?

    Come on.

    Look at the new AMLd 5, straight from the horses mouth, they would very much like to know every crypto address that belongs to you - and everyone else - well, given the transparent nature of most of the blockchains, and you can bet future laws that make payment processors and merchants share payment data (addresses, etc) with the government, you can bet that in time the government will know everyone you send crypto to, and what you pay for with crypto.

    Listen up.

    Unless you want cryptocurrency to go the way of the Internet post-9/11 (mass-surveillance) it's time to learn about privacy preserving technology.

    The irony of this sub is that this will come across as shilling or whatever, but believe me, I care very little for which cryptocurrency tech/coin we end up adopting, as long as it helps us preserve privacy and anonymity.

    If you think P&A is only for criminals, you're severely misguided. The only thing that a society without P&A is going to lead to is a totalitarian society where the government and the big corporations know your every move and have immense control over your life. Look at what is happening in China today with the social credit system, that is what is in store for us, UNLESS.

    Unless you stop paying for everything with your silly debit card. Use cash, ffs. Use it or LOSE IT.

    Unless you stop paying for stuff online with 100% transparent, surveillance-friendly cryptocurrency. Use Monero, ffs, the transactions cost less than a cent.

    And you think I'm shilling? Great, then do your own research, look into Zcash, Dash, and god forbid Verge, but I'm telling you, Monero is the best choice right now.

    Most of you get too tribal about this stuff, who cares which one it is, as long as it works and it PROTECTS OUR RIGHTS.

    Bitcoin doesn't, I hope you can see that. Maybe one day it will, but I find that very doubtful (would love to be wrong though) because Bitcoin is rightly so very conservative with changes to the protocol. And opt-out privacy (like Monero) would be quite the change.

    I really, really suggest that you consider what a future devoid of personal privacy looks like. And then, for your sake, for my sake, and for the sake of our children, I really suggest that you think long and hard whether you want to be a part of that world or not.

    It is not inevitable, but the totalitarian current is very strong at this moment. If it goes unchallenged, such measures will only grow in scope.

    This goes way, way beyond crypto moons, great profits, and all that.

    I hope that you can see that, and I hope that you will also do something about it.

    https://coincenter.org/entry/we-must-protect-our-ability-to-transact-privately-online

    I will end with this.

    There will be those who say that we need such rules to prevent terrorism and money laundering, and that such measures are to some degree effective in combating such problems.

    My answer to that is that were you to mandate everyone to wear a body camera permanently recording everything, crime would also surely go down. If you're under surveillance 24/7, then of course you adjust your behavior and will likely refrain from criminal activity.

    But at what societal cost? At what cost to human dignity?

    Are we children, ruled over by a powerful daddy government, that demands to account for every cent, because we might have been naughty ?

    Understand this. The notion that "this person MAY be a terrorist, or MAY be helping terrorists financially", or "this person MAY be laundering ill-acquired monies", this notion is by nature paranoid, suspicious-by-default.

    It makes every transaction, every person, suspicious by default.

    To me that does not seem like a sane default.

    It is a totalitarian manifestation.

    Can you imagine the same logic applied elsewhere? "We cannot allow them to have encrypted communications, as they MIGHT be terrorists, or MIGHT be communicating with terrorists, or they MIGHT be spreading 'hate' speech).

    Well, actually I guess we can imagine that, courtesy of Australia.

    But do you see where that leads? It leads to stripping everyone naked whether they want to or not, it leads to suspicion of those who'd rather keep some modesty going, it leads to bullying and misapplication of state power.

    It grows the state and shrinks the individual. And thus it is anti-liberty.

    Can you imagine if, at the dawn of the Internet age, we all had to ask daddy government for permission to contact ANYONE online, because they MIGHT be terrorists, MIGHT be criminals ? How much that would have stifled progress and inovation and intercultural understanding?

    Now imagine having to answer for every single time you decide to send $200 to your good friend in Russia or Paraguay or the Congo.

    You MIGHT be laundering money, he MIGHT be a criminal.

    Questions will be asked.

    Is that the future you want to be part of?

    No, me neither.

    So do something about that. Today.

    As usual, DYOR, but I recommend Monero.

    When it comes to protecting financial privacy, it is the best tool we have available today. Whether this will remain so or not, I can't know.

    But I know this: A world where financial privacy is banished because "criminals also want it" is a world where human freedom is severely restricted.

    And I like my freedom.

    Do you?

    The community deserves a cryptocurrency forum better than Bitcointalk, so I created one called Coinsite (coin.site) that focuses on intelligent crypto & blockchain discussion - with no censorship

    Posted: 25 Feb 2019 03:42 AM PST

    I have an issue with the amount of censorship that takes place in the crypto space - whether via various subreddits, Telegram groups, or pretty much any existing crypto community. For a community that is so focused on decentralization, there is a ton of centralized control/bias over our media outlets. This censorship continues to hurt the space, slows progress, and shields users from obtaining open and honest information about cryptocurrency.

    Bitcointalk has a whole host of issues that I won't go into, and I think we as a community can do better. As such, I created a large-scale, modern-looking forum to help facilitate higher-level discussions and the focus on furthering the progression of ALL crypto projects. Everything on the site is free, the forum is ad-free, etc.

    This forum will be run by the community. As a result, I'm going to be looking for moderators to help me run the site in the next couple of days/weeks. We will stand STRONGLY against censorship of any kind and allow for open discussions. This means the community can actually discuss important and controversial issues like block size or Lightning Network without fear of being banned because you posted in the wrong subforum. It will be a requirement that all hired moderators stick to these principals, and any moderator who censors information that goes against their agenda will be immediately removed.

    On the site, many coins/tokens have their own discussion subforums already - you can request that we add your project or token here.

    Another feature we have added is that all users can create their own blogs and post content to them on the site. This makes it easy for projects to quickly publish updates or for users to write about any topic they choose and link to it, etc.

    Help us take a stand against censorship and build a community that allows for free and open discussion of cryptocurrency. The crypto market is maturing, and we need a more professional, all-in-one forum to cater to it.

    The site is here: https://www.coin.site

    The Verus Coin Foundation Announces Beta Availability of its Open Source Bitcoin and Altcoin Mobile Wallet, Portfolio, and Payment App -- “Which Coins do YOU Want Supported?”

    Posted: 24 Feb 2019 10:23 PM PST

    February 24, 2019 (for immediate release) - The Verus Coin Foundation announces immediate availability of the beta version of Verus Mobile for both Android and iOS, a new open source multi-coin mobile wallet with VerusPay support.

    In addition to Verus Coin ($VRSC), this first version of Verus Mobile initially supports Bitcoin ($BTC), Zcash ($ZEC), Bitcoin Cash ($BCH), Komodo ($KMD), $DASH, $DOGE, $LTC, and others. Verus Coin will also run a weekly Twitter poll to find out which additional coins to add.

    Unlike many of the wallets available today, Verus Mobile is fully open source and written in React Native for the best mobile experience. In keeping with the Verus Vision, it will be extended to support public blockchains as a service (PBaaS) and applications built using that capability, when it becomes available on the Verus network, expected in the second quarter of 2019.

    With real-time prices automatically displayed for your holdings, Verus Mobile provides an up-to-date portfolio feature, displaying the value of all supported cryptocurrency holdings. Verus Mobile also includes QR scanning for addresses as well as VerusPay multi-coin invoices, which can be used with the VerusPay open source Web Payment Gateway, enabling QR invoices to include additional information, such as specific payment coin, amount, and even invoice IDs.

    Those who join The Verus Coin Foundation's early test program will be able to receive regular updates, including test versions for the upcoming Verus public blockchains as a service (PBaaS) system, and applications that use Verus PBaaS to offer other services, such as blockchain based polls, voting, and identity, all applications that are part of the Verus Vision in its vision paper (https://veruscoin.io/downloads/papers/VerusVision.pdf).

    The current version is in beta test, and for iOS, must be downloaded and installed from its test flight link available here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/ZS43lYcw
    The android version can be downloaded and installed from the VerusCoin github, here: https://github.com/VerusCoin/Verus-Mobile/releases/tag/v0.1.2-beta

    Belgian Government launching Blockchain solutions

    Posted: 25 Feb 2019 02:10 AM PST

    This link directs to the Flemish government's website regarding blockhchain projects.

    ​

    https://overheid.vlaanderen.be/informatie-vlaanderen/ontdek-onze-producten-en-diensten/blockchainprojecten

    ​

    The Flemisch government is the largest state-government in Belgium. The website is only readable in Dutch however, due to the sentitive nature of language-use in a country devided in language (50% French - 50% Dutch).

    ​

    These are mainly pilot-programs, but most of these programs do mention decentralization, wether that means permissioned or permissionless, I cannot say. The broader area's that they're looking at include: permits, diploma's, infrastructure, payments, assetmanagement (roads, camera's, other objects) and waste-disposal.

    This specific one revolves arround 'Self-Sovereign Identity [SSI]', as one can read for himself, however the link appears to be under construction.

    ​

    https://overheid.vlaanderen.be/informatie-vlaanderen/ontdek-onze-producten-en-diensten/blockchain-move

    (don't trust, verify, click it yourself to confirm)

    ​

    Just thought I'dd share this information.
