- Purchasing Real Estate with BitcoinMay 14, 2026
It looks like you have to cross them both off your list: Thailand Bans Use of Cryptocurrencies as a Method of PaymentAccording to "Regulation of Cryptocurrency Around the World": - It might be slightly outdated! If you…
Based on the "video [skip to 0:38]" that the Police released on Aug 20, they were definitely using ASIC rigs; in other words, it's either BTCitcoin mining or a few other cryptocurrencies that also have ASICs built for…
- The Complexities of New York's BitlicenseApr 14, 2026
I don't think so... Despite reading "this [refer to the "NEW DEVELOPMENTS" section]", I still can't think of an instance where they actually made life easier for BitLicense holders [e.g. I couldn't find the exact…
Considering that we're talking about police officers from a first-world country [referring to the modern definition of it], I'm a bit surprised and at the same time, I'm quite disappointed to see they've only been…
You have a point, but I think only small exchanges will be affected by asset segregation and honestly, it'd be better if they didn't operate in the space [they shouldn't offer exchange services if they have to solely…
I just read it and I'm glad that for once, the intended targets are actually the exchanges [as opposed to customers], but it would've been better if there was also an approval for the asset segregation clause [it…
- issues with cgminer and usb antminer u2Dec 16, 2025
According to "ASIC-README", your Antminer U2 [ANU] it's being detected as an Antminer U3 [AU3]... I had no luck in finding a way to "exclude it", but perhaps the solution to the above errors is in the following lines:…
- KYC vs Non-KYC Bitcoin HoldingsNov 22, 2025
Have you tried searching the address that LocalBitcoins used for sending the amount in question, on a website like "WalletExplorer"? - They're great at tagging the addresses that belong to most exchanges. LocalBitcoins…
Despite knowing that Uncle Sam loves having control over literally everything, I don't think they'd be issuing a retail CBDC at the beginning, so it'd probably be limited to financial institutions. You have a point, but…
- FCA in the UK cryptoactivity updatesSep 10, 2025
It looks like they've been doing it for the "past year or two", but I'm wondering why it took them this long to act against BTMs [it's strange]? I believe you meant to copy/paste "this" one instead I checked some of…
In addition to Z-tight's comment, based on my understanding, a trading company that relies on client funds and receives a certain amount of crypto for the services it offers is still obligated to pay progressive income…
- Great moment for personal miningJul 9, 2025
It looks like you've forgotten about the issues that might come with mining investments; It's not always going to be a smooth experience... e.g. Dealing with faulty boards, PSU's and etc... > Shipping them for repair…
- Kazakhstan's New Mining TaxJun 7, 2025
Luckily, it's just a negligible amount, and I expected this to happen a lot sooner [AFAICR, mining operations aren't a new thing in Kazakhstan; at least in the past couple of years]. - In my current location, the…
- Is Bitcoin Banned in Nepal?May 8, 2025
I wouldn't be surprised if they'd be slapped with a higher jail time in comparison to what was given in the previous case from 2017 [3 years] but for some reason, "this screenshot" is showing different stats for…
- Proof-of-Reserves (PoR) isn’t a real auditJan 15, 2025
Considering that they released this warning a day after Binance released "this blog post", I think they're trying to imply that Binance's solution [Merkle tree cryptography and zk-SNARKs] isn't sufficient, so I'm…
I agree, but perhaps there's a way to monitor cross-border activities in the same manner that the US does [in general] for its citizens: - I do know it'd be impossible to monitor everything, but they could definitely…
Based on the first bullet point on that screenshot, it's slightly worse than that... Something like that, but realistically, I don't think they'd be able to ask for such information if the other end is "not" a…
Exactly, it'd be multiple layers of collateral damage without "fully" achieving what they're trying to do [no doubt there's an ulterior motive]! Interesting article... How on earth they're going to do this? Not sure why…
This just forces those who want to evade sanctions to move their activities to the underground exchanges and decentralized platforms [they'd never be able to "completely" stop such transactions from reaching their…
When it comes to BTCitcoin, that's true [regardless of the fact that you should avoid using it in such situations], but that's not always the case with other cryptocurrencies: PSA: Most Stablecoins Can Be Frozen, Even…
