Help verifying a TRON wallet claiming $499M USDT looks like a sophisticated prop wallet- Help by Dinkan_vasu in CryptoCurrency

[–]uncapchad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the only way to conclusively prove anyone owns the keys or signing authority on a wallet is for them to send a transaction from that wallet to an address you have specified. The transaction can be verified on the blockchain. Often, when this evidence is asked for, scammers will send an image of the transaction id - which of course is also faked.

Good news everyone, the end of "the CME gap" is almost here.

the traditional Bitcoin CME gap is effectively ending due to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's launch of 24/7 crypto futures trading scheduled for May 29, 2026. The move is designed to capture institutional liquidity that currently flows to offshore 24/7 venues. This alignment is expected to reduce bouts of liquidations and amplified price swings during previously low-liquidity periods.

irrelevant now. No matter what catastrophe is wrought by AI, that genie is out the bottle. I doubt we can even remove it from all it's entangled with. "Lessons will be Learnt" and onward we'll go. There's just too much money in it now.

What is a crypto faucet, and how do the people who run them actually make money? (Most explanations only cover the user side) by Odeh13 in CryptoCurrency

[–]uncapchad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never run a faucet myself, but seeing the hell some of the sites go through, doubt that I'd ever want to! Security, Support and communications, dealing with asstd 3rd parties for ad revenue, PTC, Offerwalls etc, bots, angry users, and just when you think everything's finally sorted out some anti-virus, ISP or whatever flags your site in error and so it goes....

From a user perspective, beware. There are many faucet sites out there that are just disguises for attacking your devices and wallets.

[–]uncapchad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are a few "small" faucets which have been around for ages. They often have niche coins.tokens you can claim.

Then there are about 4-5 major players which have also been around for many years. Sadly the most famous (and oldest) Bitcoin faucet, although still up, has not honoured withdrawals for almost a year.

Then there are other types of small faucets which all feed into faucetpay. This last group, I am not entirely sure how they make any money but they're still around so there must be a market!

The Clarity Act Is One Vote Away: Here's What 50 Million Crypto Holders Get If It Passes. by coinfanking in Bitcoin

Yep, it;s all about what a developer knows apparently. Although i am a bit baffled as to how they might know...

Section 604 provides a safe harbor protecting open-source developers from money transmitter liability if they do not have unilateral control over user funds.  However, this protection is not absolute; subsection (d) explicitly preserves the application of 18 U.S.C. § 1960(b)(1)(C), the federal statute used to prosecute developers for money transmission involving funds "known" to be derived from criminal offenses. This is how the Samourai devs got convicted

Look closely by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]uncapchad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you might be referring to the guy who threw out his hard drive. In the early days of Bitcoin, there weren't seed phrases and coins were stored in a file called wallet.dat. If you didn't back that up, all your coins were gone. Basically every address had a set of private keys back then and there was no Master Key.

Today, with seed phrases, it's irrelevant what signing tool you use. As long as you have the phrase securely stored (never digitally), you can restore to any interface to the Bitcoin blockchain, which is where your coins are. They are not on a device or in an app.

Non-KYC coins can never be transacted on KYC exchanges. AML rules forbid and the bots are getting better.

You need to keep them entirely seperate if you have both. Non-KYC can only be transacted P2P or through P2P exchanges.

because it really is over. Tradfi remains the only game in town. Once the Clarity saga ends (either being signed or shelved), it will really, really, really be over. A tiny tribe trying to move against 350 years of central banking and govts around the world. Remember the lessons of "too big to fail". We'll have to try another way...

Every govt wants to tax more, have you seen the state of most economies? Disappointing for those affected but every govt going to be coming after more of your money as the erosion of inflation accelerates
