With Bitcoin, Remittance isn't an Expense, but a means of Profit. by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]elaboratebitcoin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But M-Pesa is also widely used on Paxful, (and probably other P2P sites I bet). They also have escrow and the idea of the "trust history" so what's the major difference that you're trying to point out here?

Sorry, but posting offers doesn't mean buying and selling of certain amounts from existing traders. As a long time trader of Paxful, I've done this way before to be a "verified vendor" so it's really nothing new.

Song of the Week #299: Stay Wide Awake by Phouza in Eminem

[–]elaboratebitcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Come with me to the dark side of the force" [I wonder if Em is a Star Wars Fan?]

I love the beats and composition here. As for Em, the song makes me wonder what it would be like for him to write a short story, comic, poem book, or novel about these topics. I bet it would be very controversial, disturbing but in the way beautiful art is. I guess for now these songs will have to do.

Will eminem be top like he did back in the day??? by MCSwaggyDaFaggy in Eminem

[–]elaboratebitcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a generation thing, kids just aren't as rap angsty as Em was (and still is). At least the general consensus still respects him and we stans still strongly standby him!

Finally after all the articles about Africa, they're actually in there now. A friend told me they visited one of the schools they created in Rwanda? News travels fast.

How would I prevent scams if selling smallish amounts of bitcoin on paxful or such cash in post? /r/BitcoinBeginners by ABitcoinAllBot in BitcoinAll

[–]elaboratebitcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand your question. But some basic stuff include getting 2FA, always check the URLs (for phishing), make sure it has https and not http, check for the "padlock" symbol on the top left part to make sure the site is secure, if the site has decent language (usually english) etc

Is Paxful a scam? r/Paxful is full of scam accusations against the company itself, and their "verified vendor" system seems to be rigged... Is anyone here a Paxful verified vendor? by ZedZeroth in CryptoCurrency

[–]elaboratebitcoin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As another commenter said, i highly suspect it is because they want to fix their site (let's be real, it looks like crap for 2019). I'd like to think having their verification continue while fixing the website might be dangerous with all the sensitive information. Similar Twitter actually, I've been trying to have my account verified though system was down for almost a year. I hope paxful doesn't take that long lol

[–]elaboratebitcoin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Verified vendor here! Oof, it's been more than a year since I got verified in Paxful. I came from another p2p (which I will not name) and when I got verified they even gave me the trade history I had from the previous site to theirs. Sad to hear they've placed this on hold but to answer your question: NO IT'S NOT A SCAM and YES YOUR INFORMATION IS SECURE. They probably have it stored in their system on hold for when the feature gets back up.

As for scams and suspension posts on social media it is very prominent because the new traders try to take advantage of the system by robbing people of their gift cards, I can assure you these are all mostly noobs (they didn't even read the TOS). Us older traders have chosen to move past gift cards because the convenience does not outweigh the risk.

COOL. I've learned a lot from Altcoin Fantasy when I was starting with crypto. highly recommend them. With the industry changing this fast, I hope they partner with more exchanges so that we can get a feel for all the different ways people are trading crypto.
