But Brave blocks all the scripts and trackers...If we are talking about trust, how does it fail you there?

myfeetsmellallday 4 months ago

I am beyond confident a user will write 5 paragraphs explaining why Brave is not a great option. Here is my abridged version:

Brave doesn’t beat a hardened Firefox. Brave relies on Chromium. Brave has issues blocking scripts and trackers. Brave takes control away from the user. And BAT is concerning, we don’t want a compromise with ad companies, we want them gone.

On a positive note, it isn’t a bad option for users new to the privacy world wanting something better than most browsers out of the box.

See, I think on the other hand a user will write 10 paragraphs on why it is a great option :) I know it's not great right now, but remember version 1.0 (mainstream version) is coming this fall and has potential to do wonderful things.

Once 1.0 comes out it should be able to compete with Firefox in terms of hardening.

No thanks, my attention is worth more than BAT are willing to pay per ad, and Brave is just another means to monetize your viewing habits.

I'm sorry and ow much is Chrome paying you for stealing all of your information? Why are you willingly just giving them your information for free? Even if you use something to protect yourself, that's great, but the steps you took to find and install that stuff may be too big of a hurdle for the average person, so Brave could help take back our privacy with an easier entry point for anyone. In addition, BAT is getting TOR tabs incredibly soon

> I'm sorry and ow much is Chrome paying you for stealing all of your information? With Chrome and Google in general what you get in return is a much more customized and tailored user experience.

1

Fhelans Crypto Nerd | CC: 22 QC 6 months ago

You really think the pennys BAT will pay you is worth giving them your data? I can use extentions to hide my indenity / data and remove Adverts completely, why does anyone even need Brave. I value my time/attention more valuable than that.

2

JulesWinnfielddd Meat Popsicle 6 months ago

They never have your data, they have repeatedly said that it never leaves your device. User privacy and data control is their number one priority, re\-monetizing web content is secondary.

0

thedosequisman Crypto Nerd 6 months ago

For you to be able to hide that stuff that's great and I highly support it. However, for the average person it would be difficult for them to be aware of everything you have to do to download enough extensions just to make it as good for privacy as Brave. I really don't understand what you mean by giving all of your information to Brave, it looks like they really don't collect much data at all, if any at all. Brave would be like a stock car that gets done 80% of what you need. You can take the stock car chrome, but you have to install a lot of updates for it to improve ; updates which the average person may not have heard of in the first place, or may be too complicated for a large % of the population

0

Fhelans Crypto Nerd | CC: 22 QC 6 months ago

Downloading an extension is less time consuming and difficult than switching to an entirely new browser for the average user. Brave still collects your browsing information in order to provide you with targeted adverts, which is likely also shared with advertisers.

Don’t know why ur downvoted. Brave is super buggy right now. Many sites won’t even load due to compatibility issues with lack of support for various development kits that web devs use.

Brave blocks all ads natively. You'd have to manually toggle that you want to see ads for them to show up.

You can't get paid in BAT yet, although the team is working hard on it. You will only be shown a certain amount of ads, and bots will be detected

That is exactly what I use only with Firefox, Pale moon and Iridium instead of Chromium. Iridium is Chromium with additional tracking features removed, since Chromium still has google tracking built in to it. The only problem with Iridium is that it isn't updated as frequently. Anyway I still don't trust Chromium one bit. Another really cool browser with no tracking and open sourse is Pale Moon, it's based on the oldschool Firefox design and code and has the most important extensions available for it. I also prefer CanvasBlocker before Canvas defender (https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker) but that might only be available for Firefox.

The same engine doesn't make it the same especially in open source. The thing they have in common is Chromium, the open source project.

yes, because casual pc users with low to mid range pcs are going to crack open their cases and add ram themselves, or go buy an entirely new pc because their browser sucks.

Lots of dumb political crap in here.

But let's get real. Iran government sucks but that's a direct result of western governments directly interfering back since WW1 times. So you can understand why it's so defensive, especially considering how their neighbor got knocked over recently and destabilized, and also how the West is also directly allied with their number 1 arch enemy in the region Saudi Arabia. (Who are the real assholes that knocked over the World Trade Center).

But let's not put that on the people of Iran who are stuck in the middle of these ridiculous power games, and ironically are very friendly towards the West and natural allies if anyone would ever wake the f up and realize it.

However, anyone from the West considering moving to Iran to setup shop, is a pretty terrible idea.

1. The West is not going to like you setting up anything involving freakin cryptography
1. The Iranian government is going to feel free to use you as a pawn against your own government and seize your assets at any time

Really if you're from some place like Russia, China, or some neutral country, this could work but pretty dumb idea for anyone else !

Babylonians used mathematics way before arabs. Egyptians 30 000 years before arabs. Islam conquered arabs and made them stall and stop every innovation for 1300 years. All the innovations in the last 1500 years came from westerners. Islam is cancer. Arabs should get free of it already and join us. Religion has no place in government. Separation of church and state is the only way for a modern society. Remember the dark ages at us, westerners. We got free of it thanks to separation of church and state. Arabs never got it. Enlightenment.

Ha? Arabs did not do anything in 1600. What are u talking about? Islam conquered most arabs in 700 and music, mathematics, science was forbidden. Muslim hordes attacked europe for 1000 years. Arabs had nothing to do with the enlightenment, muslims are still against separation of church and state, that s why they are lead by their religious leaders in the state and have sharia as state law. U just harm arabs by siding with islam and their countries being led by religious oppressors.

True Arabs should get rid of Islam, as should every nation get rid of every religion, but to discount the contribution of a civilization makes no sense and serves no purpose. Counter these facts if you can: 1- We still use Arabic numerals. 2- Half of the stars that are named have Arabic names. 3- Algorithm was discovered by a Muslim. 4- Algebra was discovered by an Arab. 5- Arabs discover the 0. There's more but I'll stop here. You're entitled to your opinions but... Islam started as a violent radical movement but at some point Arabs/Muslims got too rich and too cultured (as a result of contact with other civilizations) that they enjoyed reading more than fighting. Sadly that lasted for only 300 years.

Well if you read the Quran and do a simple subtraction problem ~ quaran written in 609 ad and the discovery of the americas in 1492 you'll get an 883 year difference before the west was even a thing and the quaran talks about world conquest through all kinds of deception and violence. Im sure i wont change your mind though. Propoganda is too dificult to battle with logic.

You've not ever read the book, have you? Deut. chapters 13 and 17 are easy passages to point to for biblical claims of "kill the infidel." It stops being talk in Numbers 31 where the Israelites are told to kill Midianites for allegedly tempting them with the worship of other gods. This is but a specific example for killing infidels. "Crimes" the bible also demands the death penalty for include being a victim of rape, gay sex, and adultery among other ridiculous offenses. Sit down and have a read.

“Kill them [unbelievers] wherever you find them… And fight them until there is no more unbelief and worship is for Allah alone” (Quran 2:191-193). “Strike off their heads and strike from them every fingertip” (Quran 8:12). “Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties; in exchange for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they slay and are slain” (Quran 9:111). “Truly Allah loves those who fight in His cause in battle array…” (Quran 61:4) “The Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah” (Sahih Muslim 1:33)

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs: (5:32) (For that) because Cain wrongfully killed Abel (cause We decreed for the Children of Israel) in the Torah (that whosoever killeth a human being for other than man slaughter) i.e. premeditatedly (or corruption in the earth) or because of idolatry, (it shall be as if be had killed all mankind) Hell will be decreed for him for premeditatedly and wrongfully killing a human being, as though he killed all mankind, (and whoso saveth the life of one) whoever abstains from killing a person, (it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind) Paradise will be decreed for him for sparing one soul, as though he spared the lives of all mankind.

Iran has vast natural gas resources and thus the electricity cost can be as low as 0.04 yuan [$0.006] per kilowatt-hour.

Why waste your country's natural gas for crypto ???

Much better things you can be doing with that cheap power. Attract / build industries that require cheap power and actually employ people and produce something useful ? Electric vehicles ? Sell it to neighboring countries so they don't need to build coal, nuclear power stations ?

What happens when the natural gas runs out ? What happens when the crypto miners flood in and drive the power up for everyone else ?

Bitcoin mining is, in effect, a kind of energy arbitrage. Miners make their money when the cost of producing coins – currently 12.5 bitcoins per transaction block, plus any fees they’ve accrued – is lower than the operation of the mine itself, including electricity

It has been a while since I've read anything so obviously wrong
Wolfie Zhao knows nothing about Bitcoin

Aside from this stupidity, the whole idea of mining Bitcoin in Iran is ludicrous

Start with Iran itself, one of the most tyrannical regimes in the world. Even worse, it is a theocracy
Mine a few bitcoins, some insignificant priest declares a fatwah on Bitcoin, say good-bye to your bitcoins, your miners, and your freedom
There are sanctions by some western countries against Iran. The CFO of Huawei was recently arrested in Canada, at the request of the USA who want to extradite her for Huawei allegedly breaking sanctions against Iran, faces 20 years in a USA prison

Oh wow. I like this universe you're creating. Let's collaborate on this one.. That country has such a perfect enforcement of their laws that just by declaring "**fatwah**" automatically... every man, woman and child in Iran would follow *every* s*i*n*g*l*e* la*w* without question and **absolutely** not pay off local officials to look the other way while mining operations continue? If our orange president just declared *~~falafel~~* fatwah on brown people he wouldn't have to put up a wall, but unfortunately stable genius doesn't know magical incantations. The only magical incantation DJT knows is **Riddikulus** sanktion leviosa, by why sanctions are imposed on a country and once this happens, life in that country will cease to be worth living. No more SWIFT banking, no more Coca Cola, no more NFL sundays and more importantly no btc can now move in and out of the country. The spell is super effective!

2

igadjeed 5 hs ago

Good points As with all tyrannies, China and USA included, enforcement is selective, and conducted for the PR value So, if I was a rich man in Iran, able to pay the right bribes, and able to import some new Antminers, and mine on 1 cent electricity, it would be a great way to export my wealth from Iran

3

swaggyrabbit redditor for 3 weeks 4 hs ago

This is happening everywhere. Any country that "bans" crypto is in essence just promoting mining operations to bribe local officials. Local officials make peanuts in these countries, and they will take the money and look the other way. All of btc's incentives are right.

Dear Customer although we keep over 99.5% of users' BTC deposits in secure multisig wallets, the small remaining amount in coins in our hot wallet are theoretically vulnerable to attack. We believe that our hot wallet keys might have been compromised and ask that all of our customer cease depositing cryptocurrency to old deposits addresses. We are in the process of creating a new hot wallet and will advise within the next few hours. Although this incident is unfortunate, its scale is small and will be fully absorbed by the company. Thanks a lot for your patience and comprehension. Buttfinex Team

FastBitcoins’ founder and Jenkins’s pal, Danny Brewster, says he wants his point-of-sale terminals to be adopted in retail stores. (He gave Jenkins’s own device to him pro bono.) He says he’s currently in talks about installing them in businesses which he didn’t want to name, but which he said had 20,000 locations worldwide. “It’s aimed at people interested in holding bitcoins, or for contributing to people blackballed on Patreon or PayPal.”

For those of you wondering,this is the exact cunt who ran off with Neo-Bee's funds when Cyprus was collapsing; this guy sent us back several years in the public image. We seriously had a real usecase while the entire World was watching back in 2013, and this imbecile decided to run off and buy a Bentley and let the entire thing collapse.

Fuck this guy and his irredeemable company. How is that these media outlets don't do the slightest amount of research into who these guys are and what they've done?

Go on, tell us. Edit: Never mind, I'm not going to give you a platform to give shallow platitudes and how your new venture will make up for everything (including going dark for YEARS!). Its clear we've seen enough of you around here: >As per the last update everything with Cyprus is on hold until I free up some more funds, the registration process will be closed shortly on the redemption site (later than planned) I will then be allowing people to exchange their neobee for equity in the new entity (more details will be released as soon as I get everything launched and tested properly). The remaining NeoBee tokens will then be paid out over time as funds flow into the redemption pool from my own profits from Fastbitcoins.com and then later on anything else that is recovered from the legal processes regarding Cyprus.

cryptocyprus Yesterday

There is plenty of information available, it all came out over the last 3 year's following all the court cases. DYOR on that, I'm beyond fed up of explaining it to people that are as wide of the mark as you are. As for the current state of affairs, private litigation is underway to hold those that made the false accusations against me and those that tried to blackmail me accountable. When all is complete any proceeds from that will be returned to those that backed Neo & Bee. Also to add any personal profits from fastbitcoins are being added to the pool of funds enabling those that backed Neo to benefit from that too. Have a nice day.

It's fun to watch BTC be collateral damage, but for real these sanctions are completely unjust and insane. They're also pretty transparently merely a stepping stone to a war. How the US thinks it's going to successfully occupy a country with more than three times the population of Iraq in 2003, and with far more cultural cohesion than that kitbashed country, is beyond me.

> they have very fair concerns about what happens to the value of the native asset (ether) after we fork from PoW to PoS. As with any fork, the native asset will be split. There will be the original one and the new one. As long as the private key isn't spent, there value of the asset will be split over both assets. This could end up in 3 ways: - both assets have the same value as the original - both assets become more valuable because more people can choose the paths they like (like ETH+ETC) - both assets become less valuable because the community is split In any case, with no action you take on no extra risk, just like you did before the split.
