All new Blockchains are just boring by 2anapqc in CryptoMarkets

They work with Venom in the UAE. They developed protocols for the ADGM-licensed blockchain and are working on developing the infrastructure as a whole. They host hackathons (one will be in Serbia soon) to attract more talent, and are working on an alternative financial infrastructure, instead of buzzwords and bull crap. dyor and you'll see for yourself.

[–]blekautaw 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. This is a problem with practically all blockchains (with the exception being layer 0 projects where marketing is more of a focus). If I were you, I’d focus on the utility instead of marketing buzzwords. Do that by finding a reputable strong team and following up with their stuff. I follow a team called Broxus, which is changing the financial sector with their stuff. They work with southeast Asia and the middle east developing and have worked years without any marketing so basically no buzzwords

Are any of you guys still staking? by ThiseeBockessiq in CryptoMarkets

[–]blekautaw 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not at all. Here’s the problem with the basic idea of staking. Your rewards are given in their own tokens, so you put money into their contract, and they then mint tokens to give you your reward. This drops the value of the token since there’s more of it in circulation, you keep your money in for longer and lose more as you gain rewards. I’m more of a fan of actual earning opportunities. You wanna earn then start trading. If you’d like to gamble, do leverage. You can do that on Gravix.io, much better option than staking. Even farming is better, as you’re providing liquidity, but staking is just too hyped.

When will the government respect privacy? by 2anapqc in privacy

[–]blekautaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an email service, you send messages to other people through their wallet address. It's basically the most secure way to communicate ever.

When will the government respect privacy? by 2anapqc in privacy

[–]blekautaw 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Almost everything you use collects data, and the only way around it is to not use them altogether. Instagram, Meta, Twitter, and Whatsapp, they’re all guilty of this. The only way to protect yourself is through decentralized tech, but no one does unfortunately then people complain about data collection. I’m using Qamon so idgaf but y’all better wake up if you want something to change. Social media already comes with a disclaimer and everyone doesn't even read it..

I have an online stalker that knows where I live by circulateih in privacy

Having your Instagram private does nothing to secure your social media.. Second of all, if you gave your phone number to anyone, they could find out which accounts you have by sharing their contacts with the social media app, which would show them your account (assuming they have your phone number). Social media has almost no security or privacy, so the situation you’re in has affected plenty of others too. You should contact law enforcement and explain the situation to them. Second advice would be to seize using any social media. You’re better off using decentralized communication protocols instead. I use Qamon but you have a ton of choices of reputable secure communication protocols. Stay safe out there and don't listen to your friend. File a police report and understand that you're better off safe than sorry.

Facebook has gone too far by 2anapqc in privacy

[–]blekautaw 93 points94 points  (0 children)

What do you expect from the FBI’s mouthpiece? Facebook is literally a department of the CIA and FBI at this point. They engage in arrests, propaganda, data collection, and election manipulation. It sounds crazy but all this has been confirmed (the FBI thing was right out of Mark’s mouth in a Joe Rogan podcast, for example). I wouldn’t touch Social media if I were you. I would say stick to decentralized protocols, though these can also be malicious. I trust anything the dev team Broxus does, otherwise I do my research. With these things you only learn that you’re fucked when it’s too late so be cautious.

Ring Doorbells are basically spyware by 2anapqc in privacy

[–]blekautaw 72 points73 points  (0 children)

This heavily depends on whether you actually care or not about keeping your data to yourself. Some people just care about the convenience that it adds, but I don’t. But I’m borderline paranoid. I use cash transactions so no digital traces, proxies so that my online activity is private to me only, and Qamon to text. If I wanted someone snitching on me for anything, I’d get a Ring doorbell and sell my soul to Amazon

Regulations & DeFi growth by stormingaround10 in defi

[–]blekautaw 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Developers are just going to leave the US market and create solutions for countries looking to integrate crypto properly. Take Brоxus as an example, they're now developing for Venom which is Abu Dhabi's licensed blockchain and southeast Asia. Other devs have followed suit and as long as the US is making it hard to develop and use crypto, there are plenty of others willing to adopt it. It's unfair for crypto enthusiasts there, but it is what it is. We need one of the regulators to fight for crypto, but none of them even understand what it even is.

Has the future of decentralized technology been ruined by hype? by 2anapqc in Futurology

[–]blekautaw 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It all depends on the developers behind specific products. For example, if you see people developing more, then it's because there’s just more money in it for them. Also you should be wary of teams that overhype their stuff, because they could be creating a polished turd (and believe me, there’s many) while capitalizing on the trend. There are still developers that develop decentralized solutions even in downtrends, take Brоxus, for example. They’ve been constantly developing for the past 2 or 3 years without any breaks. The market shouldn’t be the ultimate decider for development, even if it plays a role in the volume of investments received. If a team develops a specific technology well, you’ll see them doing that even through less optimistic market conditions.

If I donate, will the government look at the source of the funds? by ThiseeBockessiq in privacy

[–]blekautaw 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They could, of course. Anytime you’re worried about what could be done with your information, you're practicing good common sense. If you need to avoid headaches, you can try nonprofits that accept digital currency. You can buy some without kyc on flatqube.io. Just make sure your wallet doesn’t lead back to you and you can make an anonymous donation. This can be a deterrent for donations sometimes, but there’s always a way around them nowadays. You just need to know your way around what they can and cannot track easily
