They first collect your TAX and other data. Then comes a 2nd verification with ID and video chat. I exchanged everything for XMR at Kraken Germany on June 5th and then closed my account. That would have been the 3rd or 4th verification with them. I’m fed up with handing over my ID and video images everywhere. The verification is done via 3rd party services and I’m afraid of AI deepfakes. Haveno, Bisq and soon Serai DEX is enough for me.
https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/issues/987 (Monero misspelled twice) Are u/KTzer087 & u/haveno-user the HavenoMain scammers? Apparently they want Tether in Haveno but can’t program it themselves. They probably can’t do anything more than click the fork button and buy domains. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Yes, for years we in the Tor community have been trying to point out this to new relay operators: https://community.torproject.org/relay/technical-considerations/ Try to avoid the following hosters:
Guards, bridges and middle relays can actually be operated at nearly any hoster. They don’t get abuse and don’t attract attention. It’s difficult to find a hoster for an exit. It’s best to have your own AS.
In the Tor community we are considering how much a relay operator can have in total and where we draw the line. NTH currently has almost 20% exit traffic and we (5 orgs in an AS) have a bit more. https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/
And by sending a signal watermark embedded with the onion address to the Tor circuit, we establish a correlation between the onion address and IP address of a Monero Tor hidden service node
And what does that achieve? He can also easily find my Monero node IP’s + IPv6’s + onion addresses in a Github issue and does not need research wodoo. ;-) He cannot see who connects his wallet there via Tor.
The people Interpool is after don’t need Duress. They simply refuse to give out their password. Current Pixel and iPhones phones cannt be cracked with forensic tools. https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/12848-claims-made-by-forensics-companies-their-capabilities-and-how-grapheneos-fares
TBH, in order to be forced to unlock your phone under duress, you’d have to be a pretty high profile target.
Why, that can happen to anyone at the airport when entering the USA, UK, Australia, etc. Or if you have been in a car accident, your cell phone will be confiscated in Germany, for example. Or when you were forced to unlock the phones and banking apps at gunpoint: https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/robbers-unlock-phones-banking-apps-gunpoint-bucktown-chicago/
You can have it done yourself at any stamp service.
?? Example Haveno: Ali from Istanbul sends Bob in Berlin 1000,- Eur. Only Ali and Bob know what the 1000.- euros are for.
The main point of Bisq & Haveno is NON KYC! “in case of trouble” That’s what security deposit is for. It is punished with XMR. For this reason, very little fraud has occurred in the last 8 years.
Somehow you contradict yourself. You want untraceable transactions first and then KYC.
Every dollar in the world has been used by criminals to purchase weapons or drugs. Often even supported by governments. Cocaine can be detected on almost every euro note. Fiat is fungible & Monero is fungible. So who cares?
