backed? companies selling tokens for usd typically have to follow KYC rules. However, you could use bitsquare, localbitcoins, paxful, mycelium trader to purchase bitcoin without KYC. Then you could purchase USDT which is backed by bitfinex bank to $1 without needing kyc. bitsquare, bitshares, and many centralized altcoin exchanges others do not require KYC to trade altcoins
Another option is bitUSD which is trustless in that it doesn't need a central entity backing it, it uses a smart contract to lock and update to exactly $1 of bitshare tokens inside to make it always worth $1. https://steemit.com/bitshares/@xeroc/what-makes-the-bitusd-than-nubits

>I saw this post today, and it reminded me of a question that I've been wondering for a while.
>If my understanding is correct, coinbase text is a free text area that miners can use to attach a text message to the block they mined. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
>But, when I look, at a list of recently mined blocks (on the Bitcoin Cash chain), mixed in with readable text is a bunch of ASCII gibberish, like these:

As time passes, most businesses try to improve the way they are doing business or offering products/services as per the market demand. This implies to every business irrespective of the vertical and its size.
This implies to the business of p2p lending as well. In this vertical, as you know there is a good amount of risk involved for lenders. Yeah, you guessed it correct. Repayment of loans is a big headache.
But some businesses are now focusing on this issue. They are trying to lower the risk factor to such an extent that lenders start flocking their database, which in turn offers them business.
Some companies like CredibleFriends have taken a step forward and have come up with a novel way of p2p lending. You can offer a bitcoin loan to trusted peers through this app. This cuts the repayment risk to a large extent and makes the lender more like a bitcoin bank offering credit.

>Mike Hearn proposed a threat model for XT.
>The threat model is supposed to defend against:
>The "global passive adversary" as defined by the IETF, motivated by a desire to map Bitcoin transactions to people in bulk.
>Mike explicitly states that he isn't trying to defend against "state-level hackers."
>I'm concerned that the user case of an individual trying to protect wealth from a corrupt government (China, Russia, Venezuela, maybe the USA in the future) is not part of Mike's threat model. I think this is one of Bitcoin's most critical uses.
>The part I quoted about stopping a global passive adversary does help. But suppose we countered the ability of governments to map Bitcoin transactions in bulk, but governments could still figure out if a specific person was using Bitcoin by investing about $1000 worth of resources. Let's say that some change would require a government to spend one million dollars to figure out if a person was using Bitcoin instead of $1000. IMO that change would be highly valuable.
>Does this threat model regard the government's ability to discover if you're using Bitcoin for $1000 (or $100? what does bulk even mean?) as a legitimate threat?

> There is a discussion on the Bitcoin XT mailing list about threat modelling .
>A threat model is a way to figure out which attacks you care about, which you don't, and then prioritise the ones that matter. If you aren't familiar with threat modelling and would like more background, please read the linked email.

>Its simple. Look on coinmarketcap . Currently there are 16,657,463 BCC in existence. There are currently 16,603,912 BTC-legacy in existence.
>This means on Bitcoin Cash there will be 21,000,000 - 16,657,462 = 4,342,537 more BCC to be created.
>For Bitcoin Legacy we have 21,000,000 - 16,603,912 = 4,396,088 more coins to be created on BTC-legacy.
>As you can see 4,396,088 > 4,342,537
>This means Bitcoin Legacy has a higher future inflation rate for long term holders. There will be more future coins created on Bitcoin Legacy than Bitcoin Cash making Bitcoin Cash a more sound long term investment when looking at the metric of inflation. So all the people saying EDA is creating "hyperinflation" and this and that are not thinking of the actual numbers.

>Subject : Honestly curious
>Hello,
>I am just another bitcoin user but am very curious to get a real perspective from a user like you about the Core/BU issue. To me, as a casual buyer/investor it seems clear that Bitcoin needed is a block size increase a long time ago and it was already too late as soon as we started losing new users to the high fees and slow confirmation times. It is also clear to me that Core (the private company BlockStream) has put a huge amount of effort to avoiding just such a simple increase, going so far as to develop SegWit, an insanely complicated separation of "types of data" within every bitcoin transaction so that they can apparently get a 4x increase in block size but (at best) a 1.6x increase (1) in actual number of transactions allowed per block, the rest of the extra data is used for other programmers "meta-data".
>Anyway, I am seriously wondering what it is about Core that makes sense to you and what do you see other than a greedy Silicon Valley startup trying to cripple Bitcoin so they can profit off a then broken technology?

>Ethereum recently had an apparently mostly-"successful" hardfork, which demonstrates the extreme danger of not having an economy that is sufficiently backed by full nodes. 99% of ETH owners used EWallets, so miners + a small handful of "major players" were able to completely change the currency, even despite significant objection within the Ethereum community. It's possible to argue that the hardfork was itself good in some ways, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. A hardfork can change

> https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.12.0 Specifically:
>Opt-in Replace-by-fee transactions
>It is now possible to replace transactions in the transaction memory pool of Bitcoin Core 0.12 nodes....Transaction replacement can be disabled with a new command line option, -mempoolreplacement=0. Transactions signaling replacement under BIP125 will still be allowed into the mempool in this configuration, but replacements will be rejected. This option is intended for miners who want to continue the transaction selection behavior of previous releases.
>How is that opt-in when its the default in need of disabling?
>Relay and Mining: Priority transactions
>Bitcoin Core has a heuristic ‘priority’ based on coin value and age. This calculation is used for relaying of transactions which do not pay the minimum relay fee, and can be used as an alternative way of sorting transactions for mined blocks...In Bitcoin Core 0.12, when mempool limit has been reached a higher minimum relay fee takes effect to limit memory usage. Transactions which do not meet this higher effective minimum relay fee will not be relayed or mined even if they rank highly according to the priority heuristic.
>Does this mean if you do not meet their minimum expected fee then your tx will never go through?
>Wallet: Transaction fees
>By default, Bitcoin Core will use floating fees... Sometimes, it is not possible to give good estimates, or an estimate at all... Finally, a user can set the minimum fee rate for all transactions... which defaults to 1000 satoshis per kB.
>This will have to be manually changed should the price rise a lot higher. Can they be trusted to change it?

>Sorry if this is a silly question, I'm new to bitcoin.
>As I understand it right now if you want to use bitcoin you have the choice between: 1. Installing the full client (like https://bitcoin.org/en/download ) and having to download and process about 60Gb of blockchain. 2. Trusting some dude in a garage who registered ilovebitcoins.com and sign up for an online account. (Yes I know this is a bit overstated and coinbase probably doesn't operate out of a garage)
>In my view it would be nice if you were able to use a local client, but define your own "genesis block". Transactions from 2009-2013 have been downloaded, processed and verified 1000's of times. Why do I have to do that again when I'm a new user?
>So the basic question is: is it technically possible to define another genesis block per installation and do we want this?
>From a new user perspective: right now if you want a "full node" downloading and reprocessing all transactions since 2008 seems a bit silly.

>Its simple. Bitcoin is a network of computers meant to send value across the Internet without having to trust anyone. The token Bitcoin is what pays the miners (aka transaction verifiers) to secure this network. The real trick was getting Bitcoin the token to become valuable, which has allowed for the bootstrapping of Bitcoin mining networks across the world. Bitcoin is will be secure long as the system stays decentralized. We can build layers on top of Bitcoin to scale but increasing the blocksize the way Mike Hern proposed would in the end make Bitcoin centralized system, being no better than our current system. An increase to 2mb now may be OK but nothing more. Trust me the current system would love to shut down Bitcoin if they could just flip a switch. What saves Bitcoin is its decentralized nature. We must always keep it this way. Satoshi made the point here about Bitcoin's security:
>We proposed a peer-to-peer network using proof-of-work to record a public history of transactions that quickly becomes computationally impractical for an attacker to change if honest nodes control a majority of CPU power.
>If you have not read to white paper maybe now is a good time to do it.

>Old chain meaning in the event of a fork? They'd be in the minority and would immediately switch to mining on the longest chain for fear of losing money on their investment. PoW was designed to be the arbitrator of network decisions because the system was built to displace the need for trust in nice guys like Adam Back and Gavin Andresen etc. The only trust required is that the majority of the hashpower will act rationally.

>On the bitcoin.org Capacity Increases FAQ , it states that one of the reasons not to have larger blocks is that
>it’s possible to construct a transaction that takes up almost 1MB of space and which takes 30 seconds or more to validate on a modern computer (blocks containing such transactions have been mined). In 2MB blocks, a 2MB transaction can be constructed that may take over 10 minutes to validate which opens up dangerous denial-of-service attack vectors. Other lines of code would need to be changed to prevent these problems.
>Does anyone know more about this?
>Specifically, is there any examples of a single 1mb transaction that takes 30 seconds (or an example 2mb transaction). The FAQ says transactions like these have been mined. Does anyone have any links to those transactions for examination?
>I'm trying to understand how a transaction can be so complex that it could do this, like how many inputs it would take, how many outputs, what sized fee it would require, etc.

>Been trying to import my old Mycelium HD seed to claim my keys using this method . However, the sweep only brings in BCC from one of my three private keys associated with this HD wallet. As a result, I turned to the Coinomi Sweep feature to grab the BCC from the remaining private keys, but I keep receiving the error: "Could not recognize the private key format". It seems that users on their github are having similar but not exactly the same issues with sweeping. Any ideas here on what's going on? I think I might just have to wait for the next time the app updates.
