Title: After FTX collapse, some call for a return to decentralized roots
Post by: Marryan on November 22, 2022, 09:46:23 AM
As questions swirl about how much cryptocurrencies will be worth in the wake of the spectacular collapse of the crypto exchange FTX and other major platforms, a key question has emerged: Who will keep your crypto safe?

In response, some in the crypto community are calling for a return to its decentralized roots.

Among the rallying cries of this latent movement: “Not your keys, not your coins.”

In other words: Trust only yourself.

But doing so requires individuals to maintain their own cryptocurrency wallets through a more complicated — if safer — process that involves generating complex passwords and sometimes buying physical hardware to keep track of crypto, as opposed to entrusting it to an exchange.

"A company like FTX was supposed to hold your assets, but they ended up lending them out," Tracy Wang, deputy managing editor at the crypto news site CoinDesk, told NBC News.

That concept is what undergirds the traditional monetary system and seems to go against the fundamental philosophy of cryptocurrency.

"This is like taking power back and being in charge of your own money," Wang said of decentralization.

So does that mean that Utopia P2P (https://u.is) had chosen the right way from the very beginning, being based on its own decentralized blockchain and having own Crypton privacy coin? As for the 5 years of existence it didn't face any data leakage or scamming scandal. Or what else would you offer to pay attention to?

These statements are correct, after the fall of FTX, investors are turning to decentralized roots, this is causing a jump in the value of the decentralized coins.

We in the cryptocurrency market are always reminded never to fully trust centralized platforms all the time. I am not saying that CEXs are not important because overall they are playing a big role in the promotion and expansion of cryptocurrency business but we have to set the parameters right. Do not ever leave your cryptos in CEXs especially if they are in huge amount and only transfer to them if you have already decided to trade them. Now, we also note that actually DEXs are not that 100% safe and secure...based on what we witnessed they can be so subject to hack anytime...and worst some were victimized by insider-based hacking which is 100% breach of trust. As this industry is still evolving, we have to be always careful never to be one of the victim statistics.

Blockchain games, however, take a different approach by offering a decentralized model that enables players to own their game data and use it across other blockchain games/networks. For instance, a player may opt to bring in-game items such as weapons and XP from one blockchain game to another or sell/trade them in open marketplaces.

I have always said that decentralization is with the blockchain and not how you use the coin. I mean bitcoin itself cannot be centralized, but what you do with it can be. This time maybe we ought to change that too? I mean not saying that it would be better or worse, but it does look like it is going to end up with something that is hurting the market at this moment if we keep this up.
So, it is better to move to Decentralized Exchanges (https://crp.is) for trading for example, or any other p2p method for fiat needs. Because at the end of the day it is not looking like we are talking about something that is profitable in the long run if we keep using centralized companies.

It seems to me that the best solution now is to use decentralized systems. In these difficult times, there is nothing better than privacy.

FTX incident woke everyone and told everyone nobody is safe in the crypto market and nobody can be trusted, I would recommend people relying on their exchanges is that keep your hard earned money in decentralized wallets or cold wallets, people using exchanges as their wallet is foolishness, on that money only that exchange has complete control no one else...

I think every business have risk. Not only FTX and crypto currency, maybe all business.
FTX make us more careful to invest in crypto currency.
No matter there are others reputable exchange such as binance and kucoin.

After the collapse of FTX, the trend of iron has been attracted by the decentralized exchange, due to which the demand for these coins has increased and their value has increased. Investors want their funds to be safe with them and can trade easily.

After FTX collapse, maybe enthusiasm of crypto will decrease, but time will tell.
Crypto will increase and more popular again.

There will always be abuse in the cryptocurrency world because this market will constantly assume a certain degree of trust in others. Everything needs a golden mean. Pure decentralization of cryptocurrency will not save the situation either. Over time, market participants will choose the best option for doing this type of business.

The only person to keep your crypto safe and sound is you, and you alone. Its still 'Not your keys, not your coins' scenario, but people don't listen. Even with the latest option on Coinmarketcap to audit exchanges as Proof of Reserves, Cexes have lost my trust, I'm afraid

I agree with what you said. I believe that the problem is people still refuse to manage their crypto assets by keeping cryptos off the CEX wallets in none custodian wallets but leaving all those funds in the exchange and when anything happens, many are affected. DEXs are a good way to go giving you the opportunity to hodl your coins/tokens unless something happens to the project itself.

What decentralized exchanges can you advice to use? As I use no KYC Crypton exchange (https://crp.is) now, but there are not many coins there yet. So look for some others also.

I’ve been using Utopia for almost five months and it never disappoints. It definitely needs improvement, but that doesn't make it any less helpful in daily life.

It already has a full mobile version for Android, they've went out of beta recently. As I know, it includes messenger and channels already, which is quite enough for mobile application.

Full anonymity is their biggest advantage. As even Telegram that is always called as the most encrypted messenger, faced data leaks and was told to share users' data with govt.

Great to hear that there is an update in the works! It's always encouraging to see a team actively working on improving their product.

This app looks like a good WhatsApp alternative. In addition, it precisely guarantees the security of personal data. In today's society, we want transparency, freedom of choice, control of our data, and privacy - things decentralized systems can provide us with that centralized ones cannot.

I won't say that it looks similar to something as its view is very old-fashioned and it still has too few functions. But probably it may compete with top messengers in the level of encryption. We'll know that in some time, I guess.

I wonder since when everything that is connected with privacy has become closely associated with crime. Crime has always been and will be, and the more data applications collect, the more severe the leaks. There have been so many cases. So I'm all for privacy anyway.

Data leakage is a major cause for concern. Therefore, I agree that privacy has a huge advantage, and if you choose, then I am certainly for privacy. But everywhere there are pluses and minuses.

While every technology has its pros and cons, the ability to maintain privacy in financial transactions is essential for protecting personal information and preventing potential fraud or identity theft.

Privacy coins have several advantages, including stronger privacy protections, reduced transaction fees, and greater transaction speed. These benefits make them an attractive option for those who value privacy and security.

Definitely, privacy coins are the best solution if you need privacy. They help protect the user from data leakage. But unfortunately not 100%. A significant part of personal data is in the public domain - in social networks, messengers, etc. So today, user data is especially vulnerable - new technologies allow you to easily get logins and passwords.

Don't stick your personal information everywhere indiscriminately, choose apps that require minimal personal information to use, use a VPN, and create strong passwords. This is the minimum set to follow.

You don't have to post your personal information all over the place for it to be stolen. How the search giant Google leaked data. You can't call it "stick everywhere indiscriminately". Microsoft and Google have been stealing passwords and personal data for years. And sometimes it's just a human factor. It is very difficult for me to protect your data.

This is what I was talking about originally. If you want complete protection, you will have to abandon media giants like Google. There are alternatives to browsers, mail, instant messengers, and more that promise not to collect any data. But almost everything online is tied to Google accounts. So this is a rather inconvenient solution.

How to refuse them, if literally everything is tied to Google? If you refuse all applications, you can return to the Stone Age. Thanks to the fact that everything can be done on the Internet, namely, pay bills, order food, pay for the phone, and so on, a lot of time is saved.

I repeat once again - there are alternatives, but they are unlikely to solve all requests. Browser - Tor, search engine - DuckDuckGo, messenger - Utopia P2P (there is also a browser like Tor). Plus VPN and proxy. Payments for services clearly in the crypt can be carried out in different ways or through exchangers, if you don’t want to burn your payment data, otherwise nothing. But each small task will take half a day)

Got it! Thanks for the advice. It is good that there are steps that can be taken to minimize the risk of our personal data being stolen, it is a pity that it is not always possible to completely protect information because the Internet is open and interconnected, which makes it vulnerable to cyber threats such as hacking, malware or others. forms of cyber attacks. But if these steps help to solve at least part of the requests, then this is already good.

For the closed internet, again, there are decentralized ecosystems on their blockchain like Utopia P2P. Web3 projects can also be attributed here. There, the main snag is that you need to transfer all your surroundings there, but in any case, the connection with the majority will remain in the telegram) Not everyone is ready to switch to third-party software.

It seems like a new update has been released in Utopia P2P, which allows you to surf the Internet anonymously and quickly through an anonymous browser. I think this will definitely help to minimize the risk of our personal data being stolen.

I think the point here is not the theft of personal data, but the convenience of Internet surfing. Which is especially true for the CIS countries, where many resources were blocked for one reason or another, and in order to get to them, you need to buy VPN. And here you can easily access all possible sites without additional software and expenses.

Yes, the advantage of web proxies is that they can help you bypass restrictions and access blocked websites. Also, using third-party apps while connected to a VPN can compromise your privacy as they may not be secure.
Title: Re: After FTX collapse, some call for a return to decentralized roots
Post by: Zardbeig on April 11, 2023, 12:10:11 PM
What about third party apps? The bottom line is that no matter how expensive VPN you buy, there is a chance that there will be a jump in it, even a second, which will contribute to the leak of your real IP. Therefore, many build their anonymity in many stages. But in general, if you are not doing anything illegal, but just want to read a blocked resource, this is not so scary. Unless it's extremist media, of course)

Only a simple Internet user believes that VPN will make him anonymous. In fact VPN is the most non-anonymous thing you can do. Whatever VPN use you will still be found if necessary. VPN was created in order to protect your connection from hackers to make your traffic more secure. But it is not designed for anonymity.
Title: Re: After FTX collapse, some call for a return to decentralized roots
Post by: Zardbeig on April 18, 2023, 11:01:48 AM
It's important to note that VPNs do not make you completely invisible online. Your internet service provider (ISP) and VPN provider will still have access to your data, and in some cases, may be able to track your online activity. Additionally, your VPN provider may be required to share your data with law enforcement or government agencies under certain circumstances.
Title: Re: After FTX collapse, some call for a return to decentralized roots
Post by: Marryan on April 23, 2023, 11:41:54 AM
Considering that you can get a large fine for downloading pirated content if the VPN service transfers your data, a very unpleasant situation can happen to you. Therefore protecting your data is important not only for hackers but also for ordinary users.
Title: Re: After FTX collapse, some call for a return to decentralized roots
Post by: Zardbeig on April 24, 2023, 07:15:17 AM
One of the biggest risks associated with using a VPN is that some providers may keep logs of your online activity, which can potentially be accessed by law enforcement or other authorities. If you are using a VPN to access pirated content or engage in other illegal activities, this could put you at risk of fines or other legal consequences.

To avoid this risk, it is important to choose a VPN provider that has a strict no-logging policy and takes steps to protect your privacy and security. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the laws in your country and avoid engaging in any activities that could put you at risk of legal consequences.
Title: Re: After FTX collapse, some call for a return to decentralized roots
Post by: Marryan on April 28, 2023, 01:00:22 PM
This risk cannot be avoided. Every VPN service claims that it does not store logs, but these are just big words. It's impossible not to store them. Yes, some can delete them quickly within 2-3 days, while others keep them for months. In any case, if someone is interested in your actions and he has a lot of power, it is very likely that your logs will fall into the hands of special services. So do not be fooled by the fact that the VPN protects you completely. As soon as they want to find you, they will do it very easily.

Post by: Zardbeig on May 02, 2023, 12:04:46 PM
While it's true that there is always a risk when using a VPN, it's important to note that not all VPNs are created equal. Some VPN services have more advanced security features and privacy protections than others. Additionally, using a VPN can still be an effective way to protect your online activity from prying eyes, particularly if you are using public Wi-Fi or accessing websites or services that may be blocked in your country. It's always important to do your research and choose a reputable VPN service that takes your privacy seriously. That being said, it's always important to be aware of the risks and take steps to protect your privacy and security online.

Post by: Marryan on May 05, 2023, 02:45:13 PM
If you connect to a public wi-fi network, you 100% need to turn on the VPN before you can do anything. Scammers can be in the same building and connect to the same network to intercept the traffic of everyone using that network. By enabling the VPN you will secure your connection.

Post by: Zardbeig on May 09, 2023, 10:45:07 AM
Using a VPN is a great way to protect your online privacy and security when using public Wi-Fi networks. A VPN encrypts your internet traffic and masks your IP address, making it virtually impossible for anyone to intercept or monitor your online activity.
Title: Re: After FTX collapse, some call for a return to decentralized roots
Post by: Marryan on May 13, 2023, 02:16:03 PM
You can use not only a VPN, but also a proxy. For example, there is a browser that has a built-in proxy function and just 1 click allows you to connect a proxy and you will already be identified as a person from another country
Title: Re: After FTX collapse, some call for a return to decentralized roots
Post by: Zardbeig on May 16, 2023, 11:30:53 AM
But as I've learned, the issue with proxies may be that you're not the only user. Or someone already used it before and they're already marked as spam ones on certain websites. Regarding the VPN I don't really know if there can be the same issue.

Yes, there can be exactly the same problem on a VPN, I have experienced it personally. Many VPN services very rarely update their IP database. That's why you will be blacklisted on many resources.

I don't know the ins and outs of how they work. Maybe their IP is updated very often. We need to study this question to answer it

I'll try to send this question to their official Telegram chat, but I'm not sure that devs check it in order to answer all the questions :) As there are 25k active members already.

So they will have to hire more administrators for the chat rooms. 25,000 participants is a very large number, and they need to be able to answer participants' questions promptly. Perhaps it's worth applying for an administrator position?)

You can try if you want. But I'm sure that hired admins don't know all the details about the project. And from their side, they'll also need to wait for the answer of devs about some technical issues, etc.

That's the job, you have to be helpful and you have to learn everything about the company in order to work in technical support. You will need to know about all the news. For example, Utopia is going through airdrop right now and a support worker should know about all the conditions of airdrop.

Can you share more details please? As I know they run airdrops on a weekly basis, and the rewards are about $20-50. That's not quite interesting.

Sure) They're running an airdrop for app users. All you have to do to participate is use their app and you'll be credited with their CRP tokens all the time. The event will last six months and you can collect a lot of tokens during that time. I leave you a link to the tweet and you can explore more yourself.

Well, at least something interesting.. But can I participate from the mobile application? As I'm always online there and didn't receive anything yet..

Unfortunately I rarely use my phone to chat or surf. So I can't give you an exact answer to this question. But the terms and conditions do not say anything about this which means that in the mobile app should also accrue a bonus.

You're wrong. In all the resources where this airdrop is promoted, it's said that you have to download the desktop version. It's impossible to participate from mobile as it's not linked to the wallet and you simply can't get a reward anywhere.

And you're right as the mobile app is a piece if sh*t, to tell the truth. They were releasing it for 2 years and made no work at all. Nothing works there. They will just lose their users like that.

Sad! The only happy thing is that the price of CRP coins behaves very stable! It means that the coins are concentrated in strong hands. And when the market becomes bullish again the price can show a very good growth!
Title: Re: After FTX collapse, some call for a return to decentralized roots
Post by: Zardbeig on July 20, 2023, 11:37:51 AM
And didn't you think that devs of Utopia just hold the price on their own? I'm not too familiar with the process of price creation, but I think it can be like that also..
Title: Re: After FTX collapse, some call for a return to decentralized roots
Post by: Marryan on July 26, 2023, 03:53:36 PM
In order to keep the price high they need to constantly buy back all the coins that other members are selling. If this is the case that's even better! Then it means that the team has full confidence in their future and wants to accumulate as many coins as possible to pump and sell to other market participants.

Then how much money do they have to invest in order to make such a manipulation? And in case of Utopia project, I won't be sure that it will work in such a positive way to make them rich enough. It looks more like they'll lose everything one day.

After the collapse of FTX, the trend of iron has been attracted by the decentralized exchange, due to which the demand for these coins has increased and their value has increased. Investors want their funds to be safe with them and can trade easily.
What decentralized exchanges can you advice to use? As I use no KYC Crypton exchange (https://crp.is) now, but there are not many coins there yet. So look for some others also.

I don’t know how to keep switching between DEX and CEX, CEX has a lot of benefit; a lot of rewarding events, varieties of opportunities to make money within the crypto space, the best we can all do is to make a right choice of CEX. Selecting a good CEX to use is very important.

Just as some people do not want to have KYC done, there are exchanges that still gives you opportunity to transact without carrying out KYC. A good example is Bitget exchange with proof of reserve and user protection fund and also allows non KYC users.

Post by: Marryan on July 31, 2023, 02:38:44 PM
We should prepare for the fact that soon no one will be able to buy anything without KYC and probably there will not be a single project left that will not obey the regulator's rules. The project will either introduce KYC and AML or it will simply be blocked by all means.

Post by: Zardbeig on July 31, 2023, 09:18:36 PM
While KYC and AML regulations are becoming more prevalent, it's not the end of the road for innovative projects or decentralization. The industry is constantly adapting, and the future will likely bring a diverse array of projects that find ways to comply with regulations while preserving the values that attracted people to cryptocurrencies in the first place.

I am sure that there are still projects that are completely decentralized, and states will not be able to influence their activities in any way. We need to shift our attention to such products!

That's hard for them to exist and to prove that they're worth believing and using. People don't really trust something that is fully anonymous and closed source. But for the devs of such projects it's a must as no one will let them live in such conditions, hiding all the data..

Recently there have been reports that the US authorities are lobbying to recognize DeFi as banks and force them to get licenses. This means that in the future they will probably force DEX exchanges to get licenses. So it is possible that in a few years we will find ourselves cut off from DEX.

Post by: Zardbeig on August 24, 2023, 11:43:45 AM
Do you hear yourself? XD Most of the decentralized exchanges are anonymous as well as their devs. So how can they be forced to get a license? And how they can be blocked if they have no central server?

Yeah, yeah, you're right. Live with that knowledge. If you really think no one knows the executives and developers of Uniswap, pancake swap, 1 inch and others. You probably don't understand anything at all. Well, if you want to tell us about some DEX exchanges where the volume of 100$ per day, it just means that we are at different levels of understanding of how the world works! And except for you and two other people, no one will ever use such DEX.

And what if I don't trust them and I don't want to connect my wallet? What if all my funds will disappear afterwards or blocked for some reason? I'm ready to share my receive address, but don't want to connect the whole wallet. That can't be called anonymous and safe.

In the last few years, I don't see any news about anyone creating an anonymous blockchain or wanting to create a truly anonymous DEX. All this shows that it's complicated and nobody needs it. Lately the cryptocurrency world is just a way to make money

Then what about the Utopia P2P blockchain based no KYC dex Crypton? I know that it's too row, few coins are added, but it's fully anonymous. You don't have to provide any personal data, even email is not required. And the fees are low. I think if they will widen the allowed crypto, they have a great future.

Yes, it's very interesting, but they have been in the market for a long time and are constantly working to improve. But I am referring to new projects, not those that were launched 3-5 years ago. And if we take the last 1-2 years, the idea of anonymity is not relevant at all.

If I'm not mistaken, Crypton exchange was launched about 2 years ago exactly. It's not very old. And you're wrong that nothing for privacy is launched now. How about the numerous web3 applications that are so popular now?
Title: Re: After FTX collapse, some call for a return to decentralized roots
Post by: Marryan on September 19, 2023, 09:39:34 PM
You're right about that. Indeed, the whole of VEB3 is designed to be decentralized. But there is still a question of feasibility. So far, these are all just very pretty words, and it is not clear whether it will all materialize in reality.

WEB3 has now become a very popular direction, and they have been talking about it for a long time. Many projects are developing exactly in the WEB3 plane. Let's see if it will lead us to a truly decentralized Internet.

Truly decentralized internet will never happen as there are no govt in the whole world who will accept it easily. In each and every country Big Brother is watching us, no matter more or less. All the big corporations are collecting our data on every step we make in the internet. So I think that's impossible to remain safe there.

I just hope that we won't come to the closed internet like in China or how Russia plans to make. As it automatically leads to the total censorship. But in this case maybe the apps like Utopia will help us to get the real news. I've seen many news channels there about all the real stuff happening around the world.

If you look at how much more censorship has become on the internet in the last 7 years, it's just awful. I remember in 2016 the internet was much freer and you could express your thoughts and visit any website. Nowadays, VPNs are my best friend. So you need to stock up on anonymity apps.

On the whole, I turn depressed remembering how good things were several years ago. Now almost every day brings only bad news. Nothing positive happens, everything gets only worse. So that's logical that in nowadays situation everything gets censored. And we can't affect it anyhow.

All this happens because people themselves choose the easier path over the more difficult one. The simplest example is the use of bitcoin. We now have the ability to pay each other using bitcoin, but many people are too lazy to understand the technology and just continue to ignore the privacy opportunities.

I don't really agree that Bitcoin is for users' privacy. Privacy coins - yes, but even not all of them. Better choose some decentralized project and it will give you more privacy than Bitcoin. The only sadness - there are no strong privacy coins :)

Bitcoin will definitely not provide you with privacy! Only those who do not understand how bitcoin works believe in bitcoin anonymity. Therefore, it is better to use coins from projects such as Utopia, where the blockchain provides complete privacy.
