Forked-tongue lying Stolfi is back to spread his particularly toxic brand of divisive misinformation I see ... not enough corruption in Brazil to keep the anti-ponzi buster busy? His lies about Blockstream's actions and motivations around segwit are very insidious, evil and divisive, believe him at your financial cost.

Someone needs to inform the Brazialian tax-payers how much time an academic on their payroll is spending on internet forums spreading lies for banksters.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks. Pretending to hate someone you love is a horribly faulty defense mechanism, Marcus, that's what little girls do. It's the 21st century, just tell him! But these shifts from closeted flirtation to protestation? Nauseating to watch.

I don't know whether I should feed any trolls, yet if you could explain your amorphous response causing it to become less amorphous, that would be great.   Wink Wink

Sure. But first you gotta delineate the aspects of aforementioned amorphicity you feel are too nebulous, and thus may benefit from further, that is to say more rigorous, definition.

You can use SEPA, OKpay, etc. The exchange is just starting, but it has lots of potential. At least, it is impossible to take down.

ELI5 who I wire actual irl money to, and why it won't get stolen immediately.

1) The bitcoins are programmed to be released only when two of three people agree that the money has been received.
2) When the money gets to your bank account you and the buyer release your coins.
3) If you lie about it, the buyer and a random aribitrator release your coins.

Not sure that I would trust it...  but seems legit.

Did this with a SEPA transfer on bitquick once. The guy sent me 180 euro. I saw the transfer go through to my account. I released the bitcoins.

2 days later my bank calls me and says the person's account that sent me the money was hacked and that they needed to refund the 180 euro. Nothing I could do at that point.

Sounds like:
I sold a table once. The guy paid me 180 euro. I saw the bank notes fall in the palm of my hand. I gave him the table.

2 days later my central bank calls me and says someone's house had been burgled and the bank notes were stolen (they presented to me the list of serial numbers of the stolen bank notes) and that I had to give those bank notes back to them. Nothing I could do at that point.

Hence, it doesn't happen like that. If you can show you sold or exchanged something for that money, it's yours. No shopkeeper ever had to give money back because he accepted what turned out to be stolen money. Only if you knew the money was stolen, then you're in trouble. (e.g. asking and receiving a ridiculous commission for swapping BTC to cash raises the suspicion that you may have known it was fishy.)

It has happened a few times that scammers bought BTC from me while not paying for it themselves, but manipulating others into sending money to my bank account. I've never had to pay anything back, since I could always prove I was acting in good faith.

However, such scams are a possible threat to Bitsquare, because buyers and sellers are insulated from each other, which makes it difficult (if not impossible) for the receiver of fiat to assess the sender of fiat actually knows he is buying BTC. On the other hand, it also offers perfect deniability.

I can see how JJG could have gotten chumped, but Elwar does that shit all the time, he's the proverbial money changer. If Elwar could get pwnt like that, what of us mere mortals?

Seriously tho, check the context before replying. We're talking about the fail that is decentralized exchange.

Do I need to send a bunch of separate money transfers to all the Anons involved, or do I just wire the whole shebang to arbitrator Anon?

That assumption is wrong. Scammers that sell fake anti-virus assistance usually charge their victims 200-300 euros. Note, IDs don't help in those cases, since the victims happily hand over their IDs to the scammers.

And vice versa?! Sometimes I can actually *feel* the infinite number of realities unfolding simultaneously.

Stop dropping acid for a few weeks. The number of realities will feel much smaller after some time.

But Andre, it  must  be true!
Because, in my reality, victims and scammers don't exchange IDs, & a weirdass app with 3.5 BTC [lol, sorry, my mistake!] 1.33 BTC Shocked on the books is not called an exchange. Obviously, your reality intersects mine only here, on bitcointalk.

But let us get back to the nuts and bolts. You must have missed my question, so I'll repost:

@Andre#, serious question: Assuming I wanted to trade on that exchange, and assuming (gasp! another leap of faith) that 3.5 BTC 1.3 BTC belongs to more than one bro, what happens when I buy the whole 1.3 BTC?
Do I need to send a bunch of separate money transfers to all the Anons involved, or do I just wire the whole shebang (more than 500 whole dollars!!! Shocked) to arbitrator Anon?

A serious question, awesome!

For each trade the buyer/seller need to send/receive a separate money transfer to/from the seller/buyer with the reference of the trade ID, while the BTC is in escrow with the arbitrator holding a third key of a 2-of-3 multisig wallet. (BTW, in my screenshot you can see that there's a total of 4.9 BTC of EUR trades, 3.5 BTC of ETH trades, and 1.33 BTC of USD trades -- seems like you mixed it up a bit.) These are divided over 18 different offers that require fiat transfer via SEPA or OKpay.

If I look now, the statistics are like this:
- 7 EUR asks via SEPA (total 2.415 BTC), from AT, EE, PT, NL
- 5 EUR asks via OKpay (total 3.12 BTC)
- 2 EUR bids via SEPA (total 1 BTC), from NL & PT
- 4 EUR bids via OKpay (total 0.351 BTC)

Given the fact that for the SEPA offers alone, money needs to be transferred to four different countries makes it highly unlikely all these bank accounts are controlled by the same person.

I'm in the States, so let's get back to the 1.3 BTC I could actually (what's the appropriate term to use here? CrowdBuy?)
Let's say I wanted to live large, and buy all the BTC I could on this exchange. Without exchanging my decent American dollars for Czech koruna, Botswana pula, or EU Euro, that's a grand total of 1.3 BTC Shocked.

Now, lets forget for a moment that I've already made $3 million US by trading on that exchange, and know this stuff like the back of my hand. Let's pretend I'm not the virtuoso p2p trader I know I am, and need this explained.

Looking at MY screencap right here,

http://i.imgur.com/lWsTQaE.png

... it appears there are 6 people behind that 1.3 BTC on offer.
Remind me, do I have to wire money to 6 individuals to buy that 1.3 BTC? Will I then wait for all those people, +the trusted intermediary, to agree that I actually sent the money & it has cleared?

In short (ino, rite?), describe, step by step, things I'd have to do to get my greedy paws on that sweet sweet 1.3 BTC Smiley

I must have misunderstood Sad

Quote
If you engage in 6 different trades, you make 6 different money transfers. Apparently, you've never used platforms LocalBitcoins or Paxful. Because that's what Bitsquare is competing with. It does the same, without the centralized platform where you have to keep a wallet for your BTC -- with all the risks that brings.

The procedure is quite similar as for LBC or Paxful. Only, there's no chat between buyer and seller. All the information you need for the payment method is encapsulated in the offer.

I mistakenly assumed that this thing resembled an actual exchange, the fancy kind. The sort that *gasp* provides newfangled features like consolidating the sells (not making me work out the logistics with 7 separate individuals & needing all 7 to agree that everything's a go, before I could lay my mitts on that sweet 1.3 BTC).

Do you ever do risk assessments?
Do you understand how miniscule the odds are for 7 shifty d00ds to be not shifty, together, at the same time?

But hey, since everything went swimmingly for you thus far Roll Eyes

@adam which doesn't mean cypher "got mixed up in a mining operation."  He knew exactly what he was doing, all the time. Just because people attacking cypher are dicks doesn't mean cypher isn't a dick himself.

i dont know the whole story, you dont know the whole story, cypher doesn't know the whole story, cypher wasn't the mastermind in all this more of a pawn...

I checked the charts for the last halving, it went up a bit then flatlined for a month or two afterwards. A few months later was when it started going up in price, then mooning. If history repeats itself then September sounds good for fireworks.

It will not play out like last time.  The timelines between cause and effect will likely be shorter, and there is more expectation of profits, so it's likely to pump harder beforehand.

This time it's gonna be different. This time, for sure!

Coincidentally, I sent a transaction of about 1.6 BTC (about $740), and I included a .00007241 BTC fee (about $.03), and it went through high priority and in 13 minutes.  That is quite amazing, if you really think about it, and you're easily amazed.

My CC goes through in about 3 seconds total.
*And* it lends me money for free.
*And* if I accidentally pay a million dollars for a pair of alpaca socks, no worries, I get it right back.

Third, my main point is to assert that bitcoin also provides a lot of amazement, and it may not be the same kinds of amazements of other centralized services, but it is still amazing in a variety of innovative ways...

-The cost of mining 1 bitcoin is only slightly lower than the price of 1 bitcoin, mostly in burnt hydrocarbons. *AMAZING*
-Bitcoin inflation rate is 10% per annum. *Amazing*
-Currently, bitcoin can handle a sustained rate of roughly 3 transaction per second, the average transaction volume generated by one mid-sized US shopping mall. *Amazing*
-A few days ago, someone paid $136,000 to send $0.05. *Ahahahamazing* (SFYL)
-An average bitcoin user is functionally illiterate. Sad, yet *AMAZING*

Forgot what amazed me about my credit card, let's see...

Can I send you 0.01 or 1$ to your CC?

Bitcoin = bidirectional, like paypal.

Can you be any more contrived? Were you planning to send me 0.01 or 1$? Please don't, that's exactly the sort of shit annoying changetip creeps do, don't do it.

Bitcoin is nothing like PayPal. PayPal underwrites my transactions.
When I deal with you via PayPal and you stiff me (don't deny it, you would), I get my money back. If you were good & managed to cash out, PayPal eats the loss.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, can't give me my money back if I accidentally pay $136,000 to spend .05 Undecided
If you really want to find something similar to bitcoin IRL, think fleshlight that turns into a meat grinder if you don't program it just right.

P.S. But if I did accept CC, sure, you could send me a penny, though it would be a real dick thing to do.

this surely is a big mistake, and the public nature of bitcoin allows us to see it...

Being able to see the discrepency is amazing in comparison to centralized systems.  I believe the story is that the miner is looking for the person who lost the coins... and the funny thing is that the public is making a big deal out of it in part because they are having trouble identifying who is out $136k.

What does someone accidentally sending a $100,00 transaction fee have to do with anything?  It's the same thing as someone accidentally typing an extra zero or two and buying up the entire wall in stocks/commodities.
Taking into account that math ain't your strong suit (you're more of a scurrier sort of a guy, best described by Wikipedos as, and I quote: "a competitor of humanity"), I'ma gonna give you a hand. Lemme give you a little helping hand...

The difference between $.05 and $136,000.00, friend cockroach, is not "an extra zero or two." Or three. Or even four. If God, in all of His wisdom, erred as much as that hapless bitcoiner, you would weigh as much as an average African elephant, cockroach Shocked Could you imagine?! Of course you couldn't, your brain is little more than angry ganglia, you rely on it so little that it's nearly pointless: you can stay alive for a month without it, shit you not.

And that's weight, cockroach. Real life elephants are much denser (and less repulsive) than icky Blattodea, so you'd be one humongous motherfucking monstrosity, you crawly abomination!

Oh i wanna play. I think you should go on a crusade against wire transfers and how they should be replaced by credit cards. Next time you're buying a car/house etc... ask if they'll take your VISA. Or are you in US and still write those silly cheques?
I'm in the States. When I buy a car, I pay by check (we spell it c h e c k here, sans flowery que *lifts pinky* Britishisms), or use cash, like any normal human being. Zero wait/zero problems.
But you, you actually wire money when buying a car? Anything else you do? Weird ceremonial dances with blood sacrifices? Just to complicate things a bit more?

Though I'm not sure why we're discussing this, you can't buy a car or a house with bitcoins around here. I mean, maybe there is some hipster willing to sell one somewhere in US, it's a huge country, but normally? Lol, I'd have better luck trying to buy a car with BTCeanies Cheesy

Cute how you totally left the house part and just concentrated on a car.
You need guaranteed funds to buy a car or back up your silly checks (that take up to 5days to settle) with your credit history. Try going to your used car dealership, or a Ferrari dealership with your silly check book and driving out with a car without giving them your social security#, cash probably will still fly more likely under $10,000, anything after that might get IRS and other 3 letter agencies involved.

For a house closing agents won't accept cash, and most won't even take guaranteed checks on the settlement date. Wire is THE only way.

I stand by my Beanies comparison, the Beanies point is sound.
The number of US realtors accepting BTC as a form of payment is roughly the same as for those accepting Beanies, which is to say zero.

I know of exactly one house that was sold for BTC, was posted on this forum. Visionary OP doesn't post anymore, because BTC was ~$650 at the time. Yeah, he still had to pay taxes. Yeah, the legal bullshit of transferring property title was likely lengthier/more involved than with conventional means of payment. Yeah, OP jumped through a lot of hoops to wind up as the brokeass laughing stock he is today.
Otherwise, seamless :8

@Fatman3001: Obsolete, olde timey English. An anachronism, much like legacy finance Cheesy

P.S. But if you think that people will start using your bit-tokens as money because they could save a few minutes the one or two times in their lives they buy a house, don't let me spoil your morphia dreams.

Check Bitpremier. They're out there in a small number but you would have to be a visionary or a bit insane to stay in bitcoin after selling your place.

He claims that he did, so yeah, crazy. As for Bitprimer, I guess if I wanted to go through some shady intermediary to hold my bitcoins in escrow instead of dealing with the owner of the property directly, they'd be the first place I'd chose. Houses have property titles (think lawyers and notaries and stuff), the history of owners, past and present, is an open book to government shills with jackboots on the ground.  That's why Joe Random can't walk into your living room and say GTFO my house, because scairt of jackboots.

@DaRude: You've compared bitcoins to bank wire, when bitcoins are as useful as a truckload of BTCeanies in scenarios you've described Cheesy

Just had a really good idea: Let's start transacting our bitcoins with each other on testnet when blocks get filled up again. I understand they have segwit working there, so we wouldn't have to worry about malleability as much.
What do you gents think?

Amir Taco belongs in a high school garage band somewhere instead of Bitcoin:

At some point old pubkey coins might be easily hackable.

Whelp, that certainly puts my mind at rest Cheesy Seriously tho, isn't our money protected by maths and stuff? Wasn't that factually and scientifically proven and rhythmically guaranteed?

But if you say bitscoin doesn't scale and is easily h4xx0rable, I guess I'm all in (but u gotta promise not to hax9r me, K?)

There's a scramble to develop new quantum computer resistant cryptography now. Bitcoin will have to swap to it sooner or later, at which point a decision will need making about Satoshi's coins if he doesn't claim them by then.

>develop new quantum computer resistant cryptography
Huh, think we'll come to an agreement re. blocksize by then? Will the new algo work with Blockstream Lightning Network?

>a decision will need making about Satoshi's coins if he doesn't claim them by then.
I bet a decision is being made right now about your coins. Hurry up and find a new store of value before Thermos pockets protects it for you Cheesy

You are being calm, everyone ... right?  Please tell me you're not sobbing quietly somewhere?  Not planning anything drastic?

Less than 60 days for the halving!

Yeah, things are really picking up now. Price even up today, 0.26%.
No match for contemporary cryptos like ETH of course (that did SIXTEEN TIMES better @+4.11% Shocked), but taking into account Bitcoin's archaic tech and crippling public image issues, we're doing better than expected.
I remain cautiously optimistic Smiley
