Am I the only who's thinking KYCnot.me isn't really a platform which lists services that don't require KYC? It's not really a site "dedicated for listing of exchanges and services with no mandatory kyc" as mentioned in the OP or as promoted, right? After all, it doesn't really scrutinize, screen, curate, and select which services deserve to be on the list.
Yes, indeed.
As I recall, they initially didn't screen and only listed exchanges that were truly KYC-free (no conditions). Instead, they ranked exchange's KYC risks and indicated the type of information the exchange might request.
One recent change I've noticed is that they appear to have a user dashboard. I assume kycnot.me involves its users in listing and curating the any services there.

Quote from: Darker45 on Today at 12:23:04 AM
I still bet on Donaire. Tsutsumi does not have Inoue's power or speed. Donaire has given Inoue a tough match; if he can tune or condition his body, he has a good chance of beating Tsutsumi. Old boxers have endurance issues, so he needs to win the early rounds, or if possible, know Tsutsumi out.

If he cannot, he will have a hard time in the latter rounds, which are called the championship rounds, where judges are looking closely to determine who is better.
Donaire will need to summon everything he has learned and gone through to come out the winner of this fight.

Yeah, Tsutsumi isn't as powerful and fast as Donaire, but Donaire himself is also not as powerful and fast as his old self. He's past his prime. Gone are the days when he's the flash and could finish the fight with just a single counter. If these two boxers met when they're both at the prime of their careers, Tsutsumi would certainly hit the canvas and retire early. But at 43, it's actually Donaire who's fighting an uphill battle.

Not only should Donaire summon everything that he has learned, he should also be fully aware that he's already old, that he isn't the flash anymore. I guess he should play the old, learned, wise, tricky boxer that he is. It's pointless to insist on a game plan as if he still got it. The body can't anymore execute the strategies intended for his younger self.

I doubt that boxers like Donaire will think it that way. Otherwise, they will not go and push their body on the line and get hurt. For this kind of boxers, they still think that they have something inside of him.

Maybe similar to the mindset of Manny Pacquiao. We can only hope that Donaire might still have something in him that can turn himself into a prime version. Nevertheless, if he didn't show up and his body has really show the signs of him old already, then this might be his last professional fight.

It's probably their own way of honoring Bitcoin or the Genesis block, the starting point of everything running right now. Of course, you can't do that if you don't have much. So, yeah, the ones who did it are indeed filthy rich, but it's not necessarily showing off. Nobody knows them anyway.


uh no at least im not filthy rich and i sent to the genesis block.

because.

This seems to be the most likely case, I think.


They are so rich that sending a few coins to "honor" Bitcoin does seem very likely. And yes, the senders might be anonymous now but that does not mean they have to stay anonymous. They may use this in the future to attract attention.

We may discuss about Bitcoin with friends, relatives, workmates, and others if we must. We may provide them a long list of dos and don'ts, very basic things, reminders to always keep in mind should they decide to go into Bitcoin, but I guess we should never exhort them to buy.
Basic thing like not your key not your coin, some of them need to know the best wallet to use to hold their coins for long term, using exchange wallet to hold your coins for long term is not safe for newbies because the owner of the exchange have right to have access to your coins if anything happen that will make the team to withdraw your coins from the exchange, Some of the users that survived here applied patience to become who they are today, which I know newbies can also do the same thing to overcome any challenge that may come their way, for you to recommend anyone to bitcoin, make sure you have seen good results or you have benefited from bitcoin because some people need to see evidence from you before they will believe that you have the knowledge of bitcoin.

A lot of persons might think they're smart by using an exchange to keep their coins and probably add bitcoin to their portfolio as well. The truth is, exchanges can decide to close or shutdown your account or the possibility of hack is very realistic compared to using a non custodial wallet. A lot of persons including myself probably like to make transactions from an exchange but that doesn't mean it has to remain there. It's smart to move you coins to a non custodial wallet where you have full control of the coin.

Quote from: Darker45 on Today at 01:55:51 AM
Kycnot.me is still one of the best platforms that ranks services that may not require KYC verification. Even one of the aggregators you mentioned here are listed on that website, but with a lower rating because they still partner which services that may require a random KYC verification in the middle of a transaction.
We have seen this here time and time again.

Am I the only who's thinking KYCnot.me isn't really a platform which lists services that don't require KYC? It's not really a site "dedicated for listing of exchanges and services with no mandatory kyc" as mentioned in the OP or as promoted, right? After all, it doesn't really scrutinize, screen, curate, and select which services deserve to be on the list.

In reality, KYCnot.me is more of a directory of exchanges regardless of their KYC policy. They're rated, of course, but they list even the likes of Binance and other exchanges which strictly impose mandatory KYC.
[/quote]
If you check out my reply, keywords are "ranks services that may not require KYC verification". I didn't say "don't require KYC"
Of course usually, the top ranking services in most cases do not require KYC verification and then as you go down, you start to see services that will ask for KYC verification. There are even additional notes to let you know what is in the terms of service regarding KYC verification. That's the whole point of the platform/directory so that if you are wise enough, you know what service to use or not to use if you hate KYC.

Quote from: Darker45 on Today at 12:23:15 AM
It seems nobody's afraid of Joshua anymore. Even a YouTuber is now challenging him. But I hope this pushes through and Joshua will take it seriously. There's the juicy paycheck, of course, but although defeating an attention-seeker wannabe boxer wouldn't add anything to Joshua's résumé, it at least brings Jake to his senses. Joshua isn't anymore a force to be reckoned with, but I'm sure he can easily dismantle an ambitious outsider. He did that against Ngannou. There's no reason why he can't do the same to Jake.

It's because Joshua has been exposed already. However, it's the other way around, it is the youtuber who challenges him and he is not even a boxer by itself. And as someone posted the odds, it's very obvious that Joshua will be the huge favorite.

I think Joshua is still has power and if you are going to match him against a so called boxer like Jake Paul, for sure his experience is going to prevail and maybe he could win by a knockout just like what he did to Ngannou. So Jake Paul might have sign his death wish in this fight.

Make no mistake, I have nothing against the pizza guy. He's a legend, an OG. He's brilliant. He contributed so much both in Bitcoin's early technical development and Bitcoin's practical adoption as a real-world money. I'm a big fan. I didn't mention him to make an insult. I don't agree that he didn't believe in Bitcoin. To a certain extent, we should thank him for our "flawless Bitcoin payment" experiences today. He started the ball rolling.
If he didn't believe in Bitcoin, he probably wouldn't accept Bitcoin payments, or he might have felt sorry for the person who bought the pizza with Bitcoin because he didn't have cash. Beyond that, we'll never know how it all turned out, because logically, people accept payments using anything other than trust, probably because they feel sorry for the person. This story has become legendary, and even among those familiar with Bitcoin, almost everyone has heard it. Perhaps we should thank him for being the first person to embrace a direct Bitcoin trading system as at that time, Bitcoin was worthless and he was the only crazy person willing to accept Bitcoin payments.

Quote from: Darker45 on Today at 12:07:12 AM
I agree. If it's only excitement and fun that you're after, why not go for small bets on parlay? Difficult to win, but high rewards.

I used to be following a local casting channel. They eventually promoted a betting site. I remember majority of the bets they publicly shared were parlays. It seems they're having fun. They're betting small amounts. No big deal if lost. I can't even remember they celebrated for a win. They must have lost most of the time. But they seem happy. They're already enjoying at almost making it.
Some petty things like this can be of great excitement to the better part of every man that roams this earth.. How that really works for them, IDK.. but I'm curious about who has ever been so Lucky to pull the jackpot after several dozens of tries? You're right, the parlays are just suitable for them since they don't even care how much they lose at the end. For some, fun isn't trying to minimize your wager limit to go many more times (which would increase the possibility of an outcome).. They don't care about what you think-- Just a single game on a ticket, with say $800. So they don't have to wait for too many outcomes since they're only expecting one of all.

Do you think it's right to reference to others as a yardstick to evaluate your level of responsible gambling?

How do you measure yours?
If You ask me I will say no, because sometimes people feel so pumpus and arugant about how they feel about themselves, they even go as far as referring to others as a yardstick. But however they don't even consider themselves and the people they reffearing to. I have actualy met or seen this kind of people and trust me, they are almost everywhere lolz.
He doesn't want to take responsibility of his actions, it's normal for people to find an escape route from accepting the truth about themselves, maybe he was afraid of losing face so I would not start seeing him as irresponsible since I'm his superior even though I cleared him that it was not my intent, but he remained adamant and I had to let him be.

Quote from: Darker45 on Today at 01:01:59 AM
I admit I sometimes gamble more than I should, but I'm aware that it's beyond moderation. I always go back to gambling what I can afford to lose.
This is the point that my junior is refusing to admit, that he is being excessive and in denial so he is not prepared to take an inventory of himself and his financial life to see reasons to cut down on his gambling, maybe a bad financial condition is the only situation would force someone like him to be more diligent in handling his cashflow, that is if he would be willing to learn from his mistakes and not find yet another thing to blame.

I haven't bought anything from Newegg. But it seems it's not a Black Friday thing. I doubt they won't offer Black Friday discounts to fiat payments, which is certainly how most of their stuff are bought. It must be Newegg's way of incentivizing Bitcoin payments, so props to them for going the extra mile in pushing for Bitcoin adoption!

OP, I have an idea.  Print the Transaction image and put it some where like in a drawer you only check every few years or a time capsule.  It will be a very interesting thing to find in a matter of years after you forget about it.

It would be OP's personal version of Laszlo's pizza. 10 years from now, he/she'll remember he/she once bought a $100,000 PC. But that's not going to be a big deal. All of us will have or already have our fair share of similar experience. That's going to be the story of a currency that gains value over time rather than loses it.

It is not a $100,000 PC, I guess that's a typo error, in 10years to this time I would have more than the Bitcoin I spent right now, I still run few Bitcoin miners in my home and I also accept Bitcoin as means of payment still even while I am not been patronised all the time that a customer would want to pay me with Bitcoin, all my life is now about Bitcoin, no regrets using Bitcoin to buy a PC that I have so much wanted.

If I am still alive in 10 years to this time I bet I would have a lot more Bitcoin, it is only those who fail to plan that such thing would happen to, if the Pizza guy spent 10,000 BTC for pizza he choose to let go totally, if not why wouldn't he buy the 10,000 Bitcoin back after a month or two?  What happened to pizza guy happened because he doesn't believe in Bitcoin, not because he spent the Bitcoin, while you are spending you should be gathering back up again.

Let me explain this to you, I sold this Bitcoin for a PC at @100k, I can accumulate aggressively at @50k BTC. I am not Pizza Guy.

I agree.

We can do as many "capsules" like that as we want, but we would still want to use BTC as an alternative to using fiat, and this kind of perception cannot and shouldn't stop us from doing so.

10 MILLION Dollars per Bitcoin would be simply crazy.  While I would be happy about the price, it would say something very very bad about the Economy.

Fiat money loses value over time, while investment assets like gold, bitcoin or even stocks appreciate over time. So not only with bitcoin, if we sell gold, stocks to buy PC or pizza. 10 years later we’ll probably look back and feel the same kind of regret.

But that’s life, sometimes selling is necessary because the purpose of investing is to improve and serve life, not to hold on forever until death, while our current life is full of difficulties. Exchanging future value for present needs is a normal thing.

Quote from: Forsyth Jones on November 11, 2025, 07:34:50 PM
I think countries will keep a close eye on transactions to try to collect taxes from citizens and have greater control over money, because money is a way of enslaving people. But deep down, I think those who hold Bitcoin do not care much about that, transactions will continue to happen whether the state likes it or not.

Of course. That's expected, especially now that crypto is already starting to become a mainstream technology. The price to pay for adoption is regulation. Regulation is associated with control. Although Bitcoin itself can't be controlled by the government, it's use, conversion, access, and whatnot could easily be made inconvenient by the government.

This is the reason why sometimes it's confusing which should be preferred: adoption, getting into the mainstream, or remaining as an underground currency.
Meanwhile, the socialist republic of brazil has launched three bizarre, poorly drafted resolutions that will practically kill national exchanges, as they will no longer be viable to use.

One example of the absurd regulations they want to impose on their citizens is reporting all withdrawals from self-custody wallets, requiring the user to identify the destination address (similar to AOPP).

With this, the brazilian government wants to keep all data centralized in its hands: name, identity, transactions, and other data. All it takes is for this data to leak and end up in the hands of criminals.

The pretext is the same as always: to combat money laundering and terrorism, but the real intention is to have absolute control and collect increasingly more taxes.

But how will they ensure compliance with these rules? Given that the user can report true data and then easily clear the KYC using privacy services?

The funny thing is that there's no way they can guarantee the law will be enforced, because naturally people will opt for more privacy; after all, that's what we use Bitcoin for.

I will not condemn Brazilian laws; I have not studied their decisions in depth, but I know one thing. The paradox of our lives is that in trying to make our world better and safer, we have to take a lot of steps that look very bad and create a lot of inconvenience, including restrictions on freedoms. At the same time, criminals continue to “improve their skills,” innocent citizens continue to suffer, and governments continue to “tighten the screws” for the greater good, but in reality, the situation only gets worse. I see the reason for this in the fact that criminals never play by the rules or laws, while innocent citizens are often very law-abiding.

Quote from: Darker45 on Today at 01:40:31 AM
they rejected my withdraw this morning after 3 days may have been a timeout tho

Which means the funds are once again in your wallet? Or are they held hostage?

If the funds are already in your account and you want to withdraw them, you might consider withdrawing them in varying small amounts and not with fixed intervals. Don't attract unnecessary attention or set off certain triggers. You mentioned it's a large amount of withdrawal. Surely, you don't want to undergo another manual review for your transaction. Don't even make the impression that you're leaving Ascendex for good. They seem a shady exchange.

Also, are you withdrawing in ZEC? If yes, is it possible you can withdraw in BTC or stablecoins? I'm not sure how friendly regulators in your country are but ZCash is widely treated as a privacy coin. And it has been highly scrutinized, even delisted in some areas. It's better to err on the side of caution.

yeah all back in my wallet rejected 3 times. I am now trying a smaller amount but thats also under review. They say they review every new address so doesnt matter how large it seems. They take high withdraw fees so multiple transactions will cost a lot of money too if they even let me take out anything at all

When it comes to Bitcoin investment, I guess most diamond hands are made, not born. I have a bit of experience, and I'd say the more you're exposed to the market, the more you become more or less indifferent to the short-term ups and downs. It's natural to feel strong emotions whenever there's a big movement on the charts when you're a newbie. But you'll get to a point when everything becomes familiar. You've seen it all.

However, as always, invest according to your risk appetite. If you're losing too much sleep, then perhaps you've invested more than you can afford to lose. But if your investment is minimal yet you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Perhaps Bitcoin isn't for you. Bitcoin is volatile, and it will remain so for the next several years.
Nobody was born as Bitcoin investor or even investor in other markets.

To become investors, people must learn about investment, the market, the possible assets they are considering for investment portfolio. Then they must have finance and use their discretionary income for investment portfolio, it's all time- and money-consuming.

Even people have good finance, have discretionary income for investment, the pathway with investment is long, requires a lot of time for gainig personal experience, to become a master in this market.

Fortunately, if people have good preparation from knowledge to finance, and have strong hands for holding bitcoins they bought, they can get profit even they just started as newbie investors. With time, they get more experience, and together with profit and success they have, they will understand this market more, become master investors without spending expensive cost for learning and practicing for loss. So investment is risky, but if you begin well, you can have good profit like senior investors.
