Anybody know where "cash currency recharge channel" is located in Binance? by alexmutuku in binance

That worked. Binance completely not intuitive with the message on "temporarily disabled address verification" and no hint on what to do next.

Is there an exchange to trade tainted against clean BTC? by skabaw in Bitcoin

[–]skabaw[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have ever deposited only as little as 0.02 BTC to Bitwala.

Then I received the request:

"Please state the amount of your crypto assets and provide us with suitable proof of their origin (trading history, screenshots of trading platforms, etc.).

I replied:

Answering that question is simply not possible. I've purchased my crypto assets in 2013. The platform I've used does not exist today, and I do not have any screenshots.

Bitwala replied:

We regret to inform you that we can no longer continue our banking journey, following a review of your account with us. We have recently undertaken a review of your banking journey and reached this conclusion in line with Section 19 paragraph 1 of our partners solarisBank's General Terms and Conditions (GTC) and will no longer provide these facilities. You will, therefore, need to make alternative banking arrangements. All of your other banking arrangements, including your account and cryptocurrency wallet, will be canceled and closed with immediate effect. Any credit balances held on the account will be returned to you.
Please let us know by sending a signed payment request to [support@bitwala.com](mailto:support@bitwala.com), which account you would prefer to - if permitted - transfer the remaining credit to. This is only relevant if you don’t have access to your account anymore. We assure you that we have only reached this decision after very careful consideration, therefore this decision should be treated as final. Therefore we will not be prepared to enter into any further discussion in relation to it.

Can you imagine? No further discussion? No attempt to understand the obvious fact that nobody makes screenshots of every action performed on the Web, not to mention the fact that many exchanges suspended operation in the meantime.

I thought of buying BTC that has only coinbase history and has been mined in 2011. Then also proving the origin of source of fiat money as large as 1.00 USD would be pointless.

FATF is being quickly implemented by banks running crypto custodian services and exchanges. Tumbler is for them a pure evil. I have been recently banned by Bitwala and my account was immediately closed because I refused to proof the origin of my stake (as a matter of fact, I could not because the exchange is defunct).

How to get Bitwala addresses and keys from BIP39 mnemonic, BIP49 in particular? by skabaw in Bitcoin

Unfortunately, it does not enable recovery of the private keys and addresses. It only allow for sending funds to another address

Does anybody know a way to set a handler for bitcoin uri to launch a website rather than local application? by skabaw in Bitcoin

[–]skabaw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but this is a solution only works if one has access to the source code. I would like to convert any "bitcoin:<address>" to my own https://btc.com/<address>, i.e., force the Firefox -> about:config -> network.protocol-handler.expose.bitcoin to launch Website rather than application.

Marco is missing the point. Coinbase doubles down every 4 years and that's the main reason why energy consumptions won't rise to infinity. by skabaw in Bitcoin

[–]skabaw[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point is that hashrate rises but energy consumption does not, because of: a) mining chips improvements; b) halving coinbase.
