Do you think mixers will advertise in altcoinstalks?

[Freemind]

I think the best response to this thread is the forum banner. I laughed a lot and thought the same as the admin. If people read the text below the banner they can understand why there should be no problem, it is a disclaimer and that exempts the forum and its owner.

You will have to bypass or kill The Sheriff for the position cause it's going to be a rough ride for you buddy

Good to see the Mixtum banner ad above our heads. Answered every doubts about mixer campaign here.

bitcointalk is essential for bitcoin, thus it is important to avoid any threats even if they are not yet materialised.

This is exactly the path that theymos toed and he explained it his stance but many people insisted that he must have had encounter with the government before he took the drastic decision. Theymos is just being proactive because bitcoin is 1 and its forum is targetable but then altcoins are thousands and maybe the US government cannot come here.

However, concerning our stance, let me summarise it in this : F governments, wherever they are, whatever form they are!

A bolded F word to the controversial government. +1karma

Well it all depends on the admins and mod, the for itself has all it takes to advertise mixers and even run mixer campaigns here which I believe is already happening. Starting from the 1st of Jan 2024, BTT will officially stop advertising mixers and I believe this forum can take up that responsibility

The path theymos took is 100% right, and i do support him for taking it 100%, even though i am taking another path.
Why?
Because if btt is shot down, it would be a big deal for the btt community and the entire crypto community.
You would say "there are thousands of communities", true but not like btt, it is the original community, and an important part of the ecosystem
as for us or any other crypto community, we are not that essential or critical to the crypto ecosystem. They shot this forum down 10 others would popup.

This said, we would do our best, with our modest means and capabilities to protect and defend BTT whatever way possible (many ideas are brewing, for now nothing tangible).

We will redirect traffic from search engines here on Altcoinstalks.com

These were my exact words in BTT.  You got the whole picture as it ought to be. BTT is a brand that is very well associated with the whole cryptocurrency. A win against BTT is partly a win against Bitcoin. That is why it is important for theymos to protect the forum with all available resources and ideas.

However things may change in the near future, who knows and theymos may still accept mixer back

I highly doubt that because theymos is firm with his decision as of now and I don't think that he will ever change his decision. In a statement theymos even stated that the mixers are not allowed even if someone uses url shortener to link those.

Like admin said, this forum is also in favor of Bitcointalk decision because that's the most important place for all Bitcoin and crypto-currency users. Although, this forum is also getting huge attention from crypto-community and I hope it may grow to good levels but still the Bitcointalk will always remain the pioneer forum of the community.

The best thing I have noticed about this forum is that they will continue to accept mixers and mixers will surely start advertising on this forum. 3 good mixers already have their running campaigns on this forum and the 4th one is also advertising via the banner ads. I'm pretty sure that in coming days people would find trusted mixer services on this forum instead of finding them anywhere else.

I'm not sure theymos will allow mixers-related advertising again in the future. Until we have more news, we can say that what happened was just a wake-up call for theymos, but if he accepts that type of advertising in the forum again it could be more serious and more dangerous. I just hope that theymos doesn't have problems and that everything stays as it is even if he loses that market niche.

You just came here and you already want to be El Presidente and to replace current president 

This was done so that Bitcointalk would continue its work since both the domain and the forum admin are subject to US jurisdiction (not to mention the 1200 bitcoins at the forum’s disposal).[/size]

I heard rumors that Altcointalks forum secretly hold more bitcoins. [/size]

It's not to late yet with more legends teleporting, and I see altcoin donation addresses are more active

More and more regulation of cryptocurrencies is coming, whether we like it or not. In this way, some things change directly, while others will be affected indirectly. Rather, I believe that there will soon be a complete ban on signature campaigns on BTT.

Internet people hate the words Ban and Censoring!
I hope everyone agrees with that. If something is illegal just because the government decided it is illegal, I don't care about it. Illegal is what we also believe is unethical. For example, Bitcoin is not illegal, but a lot of governments banned it. My country's government also banned Bitcoin, and it's illegal there. But in general, do you think Bitcoin is illegal? Law is man-made. We made it for our own benefit. Now, you have to see who is the beneficiary!

There should not be any kind on limit on the Internet. When you are operating a platform that could be illegal in your country, either you should not live there, or you should give it to someone who can control it. I always planned to open an Crypto exchange. But, I didn't because the government banned it. But, If I could move somewhere, I will open one. If Bitcointalk start banning everything, people will look for alternatives.

I dont understand why some people are so against mixers.¹

Some people..? Or practically, the government or the SEC? The people I assume they don't like Bitcoin mixers are only those who are not Bitcoiners. I can undoubtedly say that more than 80% of Bitcoiners love mixers, although some of them might not have used them.
Obviously, the government is the only person who is greatly opposed to Bitcoin mixers.

Let's not be deceived, this government and top agencies also have Bitcoin in their possession. But they clearly see it as a threat when large number of people are beneficiary from it's scheme. They literally want to have control over it, thereby dictating for Bitcoin users in anyway as possible.

Not all mixers are the same, not all of them are connected with criminals or made only to laundry dirty money.²

Yeah, all mixers are never the same, but they run the same service, which is Bitcoin mixing. There are more than 10 existing mixers, and apart from the ones that have been discontinued and short down by the government, you cannot actually tell if the rest have been used in some minor cases for mixing stolen coins. I am not practically saying all have been used for cases of money laundering. I still concur with what you said, but even if some hackers have mixed a stolen coin in a particular mixer, the mixer will not stop the mixing process of such coins.

The whole situation here is that, the sins of few is affecting the majority. Definitely, not all mixers are involved in all these allegations.
