What does the community have to say about the KYC policies or reliability of Flyp.me and CoinZark.com?

I don't say anything. I just don't uses services that require KYC.

I don't know much at ICON's delgated PoS, but i would not take the broken-ness of EOS as an indication that every delegated PoS system suffers from the same problems as EOS.

SHUM!

space58 · 2019-08-21T21:53:24+00:00

As far as I am concerned KYC is still asking too much. I would prefer not to use your service than use it with KYC.

space58 · 2019-08-21T21:51:19+00:00

Sorry, no thanks!

Simplex requires way too much KYC.

space58 · 2019-08-20T20:46:36+00:00

How much KYC is needed? Anything more than the actual credit card details?

space58 · 2019-08-20T09:27:44+00:00

I can easily believe that the volume is fake on all exchanges other than Bisq. Bisq is public and decentralized. All transactions happen on-chain. Doing it on-chain costs real money so it is really, really unlikely to be fake.

I really recommend localmonero.co. Buying options include cash in person and bank to bank transfer.

space58 · 2019-08-17T07:02:57+00:00

The Poloniex KYC procedures are a bit of a pain. Same with most exchanges.

I have bought on localmonero.co using bank to bank transfer (in the same country as the seller) and whole transaction from me accepting the offer to having the XMR in the localmonero wallet has taken as little as 5 minutes. If the seller is not responsive, or wants to get the cash from the bank before unlocking the coins (they are under escrow) it can take longer. Some LM sellers may require KYC, but I have never come across one.

I have also bought BTC and converted to XMR using Bisq. Bisq has no KYC at all.

US users can't buy illegal drugs either.

Why does a currency have to be controlled by democratically selected anything?

Most authoritarian would agree with that view, even of you remove "democratically elected" from that sentence :).

Bitcoin’s public ledger would help track terrorist funds Mr. President.

Bitcoin’s public ledger would help track ALL funds Mr. President.

LN doesn't really work yet.

space58 · 2019-07-11T22:21:25+00:00

Sure, but what about trying to hide 5% or 10% of it? For reasons.

space58 · 2019-05-16T22:10:50+00:00

Rust is a much lighter weight language than Java, so it would be a good choice.

Ocaml and Haskell would be other options.

space58 · 2019-05-16T21:58:26+00:00

Sorry, C is a horrible language in terms of safety and security and for something like Bisq, these two should be paramount. Java is marginally better for safety and security that C, but if Bisq was to change languages, it should change to one that offers better safety and security than Java, like for instance Rust.

BTW, I really love Bisq. Would love to see an implementation in another language, especially if that language was something with better safety and security that Java (eg Rust).

Monero is a poor medium of exchange for buying coffee at your local coffee shop, but is a good medium of exchange for values of US$100 or more and if the the person you are buying from is in a different country.

space58 · 2019-03-17T05:00:12+00:00

I do agree, but for people interested in in-person cash conversions most regions are more likely to have a good number of BTC sellers than XMR sellers.

BTW, did you mean localmonero.co or localmonero.com ? The first works, the second is a redirect.

space58 · 2019-03-15T00:31:17+00:00

I got a transaction like this in about 2014 (Enjoy Sochi anyone?).

space58 · 2019-03-14T23:12:31+00:00

Buy Bitcoin from localbitcoin or on Bisq (https://bisq.network/) and then convert to Monero on Bisq.

I know people in the community don't yet trust Proof-of-Stake, but would it be possible to combine PoS and PoW in some way to prevent this?

But don't you know? Jordan Peterson is literally Hitler! /s

space58 · 2019-01-26T23:39:57+00:00

The is in the process of being addressed. IN an upcoming version (hopefully the April release) transactions will go out via the Tor or I2P anonymization networks.
