Using local.bitcoin.com

While local.bitcoin.com has no KYC (which is awesome, by the way) is it wise to use a throwaway username/email? That is one that can't be tied to you for purely privacy reasons?

Asking because I wouldn't mind using the platform and wondering how I should approach it from a privacy perspective.

[Poloniex] BTC Margin Lending Pool Losses

I don't know what's going on exactly but it seems that Poloniex just took 16% of everyone's lending funds, because of a flash crash of some random shitcoin (CLAM) I haven't even heard of before.

Here is the message I got:

Dear Poloniex Customer,

On May 26, a sudden and severe price crash in the Poloniex CLAM market caused a number of margin loans to default, resulting in a roughly 1800 BTC generalized loss across the Poloniex BTC margin lending pool. We are writing because you have been impacted by this loss.

All BTC loans on Poloniex are lent in a common pool that is shared across all markets and borrowers. Today, we recognized the generalized loss across lenders in the BTC margin lending pool. As a result, the principal of all active BTC loans as of 14:00 UTC today has been reduced by 16.202%. As a lender in the pool, you will see the reduction in your account when you next log in.

We’re actively pursuing the defaulted borrowers for repayment of the BTC they owe to the lending pool. As we recover funds, we will return them to affected lenders. We’re also exploring other ways to help defray your losses. As this work proceeds, we will provide regular updates.

To learn more about this event, please refer to this blog post.

If you have specific questions about your account please contact our customer support team at support@poloniex.freshdesk.com.

Sincerely,

The Poloniex Team

I knew there were risks in lending but this is ridiculous, how can a flash crash of a shitcoin whose current marketcap is 2,573 BTC (it was around 7,500 BTC at the time of the crash) cause 1,800 BTC of losses... And how come I only hear of this now almost two weeks after it happened.

WTF am I supposed to do other than just hope that Poloniex somehow retturns my money.

I apologize if this isn't the right subreddit but I think others should know about this.

Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Hits New ATH.

Data from BTC.com shows that the Bitcoin mining difficulty has reached 7.46T. This figure surpasses the previous ATH of 7.45T achieved in early October 2018.

Mining difficulty directly points to the amount of mining activity going on on the network. As the number of miners increases, so does the difficulty of mining. This also means that the network is at its highest level of security as there are more miners to verify transactions rather than just a few. It makes it more difficult at this time to reverse a transaction and so the chance of a double spend is almost non-existent.

Sourse: https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-mining-difficulty-all-time-high-btc-price/

What do you think about this?

Share your thoughts with us, especially if you are a miner :)

Want to accept bitcoin in my restaurant.. Anyone have experience with this?

I'm opening a restaurant very soon and would like to accept bitcoins as a form of payment. I expect that maybe two people in an entire year might do this so I'm not going to orient my payment processor around it but would still like to be able to should the occasion arise. Anyone know the best way to do this? Coin Payments (www.coinpayments.com) seems like it might be an option but without actually registering for an account on their website, I'm not sure how it works. What's a better way than just opening a personal wallet on my phone and having the customer send funds to that?

Thanks

p.s. I am leaning toward going with Square right now and I could not find that they are not integrated with any apps that allow payments w/ btc

Gold is trading at record highs in Australia. One by one, every currency is being destroyed by central banks.

Gold is trading at record highs in Australia. This isn't Venezuela, Argentina or some developing nation having issues. This is the country that hasn't had a recession in 30 years. 1 by 1, every currency is being destroyed by central banks actions. This leads to inequality & more people will turn to Bitcoin, Gold & hard assets.
