I'm not against earning money, but what some users need to realize is they have to be active all the time if they want a manager to accept them into a campaign. You cannot be told that so n so just launched a campaign and suddenly you make 10 posts really quick and hope to get a spot. Managers will check how active you have been and pick someone else.

Yeah, I mean at the end of the day, it is a business and you are being paid to advertise for them. So since there is a large, you could say "talent pool" to choose campaign participants from, I am not surprised to see that the same problems at Bitcointalk of many people being overlooked for limited campaign spots are happening here too.

The problem itself is not that the system can be abused for money laundering, for that there are several mechanisms and filters that once applied would make it very difficult to commit these acts. The problem is that the system sometimes "invites" these acts. With very lax AML policies, with holes in the system depending on which countries the money comes from, with low commissions to attract more clients without applying the filters that I mentioned before... If AML policies were strictly enforced, the annual profit would be much, much lower than the current percentage, and logically, companies that process payments are not interested in that.

For a small company, yes. A large payments company like PayPal can afford to cut off many customers and take a hit in its revenue because it would be quite a small percentage of their net profit.

The smaller payment processors and the ones with a negative profit would be the ones most tempted into getting more customers by having more lax anti money laundering policies.

Every electricity grid - Texas... Ethiopia... Uzbekistan... Madagascar... - has the consumption peaks problem.
Peaks consumption creates outages - in my house too.
BTC mining can help stabilising the electricity grid.

I am already aware of the role that mining plays in that regard.

But I was talking about things like this

Don't bother creating an ANN thread if you're just going to silently close shop within a week.

Last login 13 years ago, Frogmixer tried to create a service similar to CM, and when it did not find sufficient support, it decided to stop.

13 years ago? I don't understand what you're trying to say. The concept of modern mixers did not exist in 2011.

You have to pay a massive exit tax to renounce your American citizenship, so this is not viable except to really rich people who move to tax havens to keep their wealth (and they will not be allowed to enter the US again if tax evasion is the reason why they did that).
So, you are saying if a person moves to another city they have to tell the US official why they are going to a tax haven even if it's obvious to know or assume.

No that is not correct.

Simply moving to another country doesn't do anything, its if you file paperwork to renounce your citizenship when this stuff applies. (I'm not sure whether they ask why they are going to a tax haven though.)


Besides, why would a person give up his status of US citizenship in order to go to tax havens he can also go there as a tourists or not?

Facebook cofounder Eduardo Saverin also left the country and renounced his citizenship so that he didn't have to pay taxes from his ~7 billion dollar stock, and i'm sure there are a few other cases too.

Also, kind of interesting of them to mention this one:



Every single sector of non-custodial crypto is a threat to Europol.

But instead of  trying to understand it so that they can better catch the criminals in the act, they want to carpet-bomb the whole space.

No thanks, I don't want to be having all these miners next to my dam. That'll just mean more power outages. And the government is already rationing power between districts, so I think it is a very dumb idea to make electricity even more scarce by giving it to the miners.

Although in fairness there have not been so many outages recently probably because it's raining so much here, but just wait for the rain to stop and then it will be back to outages as normal.

Wrong

Power infrastructure here isn't the same as in USA. I'm not going to pretend I know about the electrical situation in Texas but the lines are clearly more stable across the whole country than over here. A single technical glitch or heavy rainfall is enough to down a power line and disrupt a neighborhood's supply here. And there's no advanced monitoring of outages at all (but that is a problem across the whole continent).

Also, a bit irrelevant but everyone's still gotta make a trip to the utility in order to pay for electricity and transfer it to the "electricity card" for the meter. A couple other countries in Africa are like that too.

So doesn't make much sense to compare geographics between a first world and a third world country.

And yet, a crypto business who asks these kind of banks for a loan will usually get approved  ::) it is just ridiculous.

Imagine if Microstrategy went to some bank tomorrow and asked them for a line of credit. Approved, with a snap of a finger.

But as an individual you are "risky" because your income is derived from so-called "prohibited sources" (aka. whatever rules the bank set for that).

Well... repeating what main stream media say is called siding with mainstream media, NotATether

That is backwards. By that logic, that would mean every account tweeting about this or writing it on social media, Medium, and other blogs including Lyn Alden and Joel Valenzuela who you quoted in your post are all siding with mainstream media.

Have you ever considered that MSM doesn't care about your or my opinion? That's why it's still primarily broadcasted on TV or on large websites with a comment section only observed by some outsourced content moderators from India.

You really can't allow them to just dominate the discussion like that. If there is no way to have any discourse or opinion then we will be stuck watching and scrolling through news written by billion dollar companies.

I would like this question to reach the Jambler team because I find it interesting.

Is there any thought at all about implementing an affiliate partner program on this platform? I saw that no Jambler mixer partner has such a possibility, and somehow I am convinced that it would help in wider promotion.
Or does the largest promotion cause a problem because it draws the attention of tainted governments?

The affiliate program is literally "create a mixer website" and you will earn commissions.

Mixtum, webmixer, mixerdream, thormixer do not have any reserves of their own, all their coins come from Jambler who pays them a commission for each mix performed.

As, leaving the country can save them tax as well. Besides if USA citizens stop buying and selling BTC, it will still be functional. As BTC price is no doubt greatly influenced by USA but with time it will recover and the trend will shift to another country maybe.

You have to pay a massive exit tax to renounce your American citizenship, so this is not viable except to really rich people who move to tax havens to keep their wealth (and they will not be allowed to enter the US again if tax evasion is the reason why they did that).

Let's just respect his opinion though, but it's obvious that he either doesn't know what Bitcoin or crypto it because he is old school, or doesn't want to embrace changes. For sure though, with the emergence of AI, I wouldn't be surprised as well that he is against it.  ;D

There are a lot of people who are opposed to using AI because of social reasons, and I'm not talking about the potential for AI to replace human jobs, but in the ethical and bias risks inherent in AI systems, which are in no small part coming from the people who train them and their datasets.

You have to remember that not everybody is a tech person who will look at the technical advancements that AI has caused.

It is also complicated to work with 2 github accounts,  etc..

Yeah, I know. I use a separate github account for the BitMixList repository and pushing commits to a branch becomes very tricky from the command line due to authentication issues. You have to put the token in your URL and not use SSH keys, and so on.

Well it's one thing to not like it, and another to spread FUD about it. What he got right is the part where he said that Bitcoin is a "currency built on distrust"., but at least he only stopped by saying that he doesn't like it.

There are countless other people I could mention who would just go on and continue saying lies about Bitcoin such that it is polluting the environment or that it is a currency for criminals or other stuff like that.

The surge of GME and AMC (as well as some copy-cat memecoins) for no reason at all aside from the resurrection of Roaring Kitty is telling us something: when something rise for no big and solid reason at all, it can plunge anytime for no reason at all. At any rate, I am sure this short run is a big blessing for those who immediately take advantage of the opportunity to sell at a hefty price and then maybe buy again the same asset later for a good profitable difference. Now, let's see if there can be developments and updates from this Roaring Kitty guy that can influence the market so we can really say that he has a solid god-like cult following.

Actually, don't expect anything different any time soon.

I wonder how companies like Gamestop and AMC are even in a business at this point - they need to declare bankruptcy and close all their locations since their actual businesses are failing. I was thinking that this guy had made a memecoin out of these stocks from what the title read. Ironically that would also take capital away from the real companies but who cares? They're already dead.
