I want a better boat tbh

Live to save on a boat

Plz fund my radio operator license k thnx

Only if you stream to I2p as well ❤️

We can

<hbs[m]> "The closest I can think of is..." <- how would that help

<Siren[m]> "CCS to fund us a Monero themed..." <- I thought it was for sgp jet?

* for sgp’s jet?

what happened to the yacht

<Siren[m]> CCS to fund us a Monero themed sail <= forum.getmonero.org/22/completed-ta…l-in-the-bermuda-one-two-yacht-race

I'd chip in. it's a good conversation starter and not too expensive. even better if you're part of a yacht club or something.

or race

<geonic> "I'd chip in. it's a good..." <- I am not a part of one, at least not anymore but we have a small club nearby that we get along with/organise local races (obviously not as big as Bermunda stuff) :D

are you thinking spinnaker or main/jib sail?

I need a main one as its old and ripping apart

it's also the most visible so it's the perfect candidate

do you know how much it would be? for the sail + printing

I have spinnaker and gennaker already but they are not a perfect fit for the boat

Hard to find sails for frankenstine of a boat whose mast is not original either :D

yeah I noticed the boat is a bit beat up :p

These are the scales of regattas that we have. youtu.be/jun-pkg4sgI (we are also in it)

how big is it?

the boat I mean

geonic: 33ft sailboatdata.com/sailboat/carter-33

nice

I've mostly sailed in these sailboatdata.com/sailboat/martin-242

I've sailed in quite a bit of different ones but all of them european

This is in fact my 3rd boat :D

geonic: Do you own one? Sail casually?

I don't own, just sail on other people's boats

slip fees are $400 a month here for a small boat so it adds up. but you could technically sail year-round

I think a few grand for a Monero sail is a good investment if the person sailing the boat loves Monero and can explain what it is when someone asks. bonus points if you name the boat thankful for today :D

Lol we pay some grandma that owns a house on a shore of a river.

for water or winter storage we go with that club in the video

* for water fill up or winter

geonic: renaming a boat is american thing I guess

it is very disrespectful to change boats name

there are people who anchor their boats just outside the LA marina and dinghy in and out. but you're basically a homeless person at that point living in a tent on the water

really? interesting

You only set a name of a new boat I guess. Or if it is very non fit :D

Good example is our first boat was called after my town and then someone bought it across the country where the4 name makes no sense :D

s/the4/the/

The buyer even asked if he can change the name IIrc

geonic: Idk this tent has a fully featured kitchen + bathroom

Better than student apartments

Yeah and 5 beds or something

yeah but you're rocking in the waves the whole time

and they have to come and rescue you when there's a storm coming

they have no sails too. don't know if their engines even work

Rescue me from where? The port?

not you. the ppl I'm talking about. they tow them in

Nah the ones who park in the homeless port

inside the breakwater

I can park in the port port and leave before the port opens :Ddd

Does that trick work in LA?

it's a pretty sad sight

which one?

Come late at night and leave early morning. Who's gonna make me pay

parking for the night and leaving early? haven't tried

Park at port right before it closes and leave before it opens

Charge batteries, fill up water for free

It's free real estate

for sure you could do it. the marina here is the biggest in North America I think. can always tuck in somewhere for the night

sometimes even a shower

for shower you'll need a key

I heard many people say that they travelled around the world without paying for ports by doing the night/morning trick.

You never come to the same port twice!

will definitely work for one night

maybe even a week if you move around. this one is really big

Interesting maybe one day will check it out, but before that there are far more interesting places like Caribbean etc

for sure. this isn't a destination by any means unless it's for a regatta

Hello everyone. Been studying / using monero for months and am new here, and willing to help/learn/serve as i can.

ooh, sailing geonic and @stnby. Men of culture.

ooh, Siren , nice boat.

Do sellers on moneromarket.io reduce shipping costs when you tell them the address because shipping a pack of pasta within EU doesn't cost 24 USD wtf

<lender[m]> "Hello everyone. Been studying..." <- Welcome! I am also new here.

<moneraut[m]> "Welcome! I am also new here...." <- ty

Hi all!

Hello

Hey has anyone ever had trouble with Kraken? They recently banned my account over "security" concerns and I can't figure out what went wrong since they won't tell me. I'm guessing I was flagged for AML concerns, but I'm not sure what went wrong since I don't do anything illegal. I tried to purchase a small amount of Monero and was going to withdraw it to my Feather Wallet, but they banned my account before I could do so.

Do you guys think this is Monero related? Or have one of the several defi wallets I use could they have been compromised? All the exchanges I use exclusively on my mobile are fine. It seems to be tied directly just to my pc. Could my computer have been hacked? Why am I getting flagged for AML stuff when I don't do anything like that? I like digital privacy, but as far as I know everything I do is perfectly legal

though.

Did you do their KYC stuff?

how many of the security features did you enable? at minimum, I'd recommend 2FA with aegis or something

I never had any problems with them, and kraken is known to be one of the better CEX

Most likely not monero related, but related to the source of your funds

The defi stuff you deposited was likely dirty or flagged

What about vpns do they stop account using that to?

I only had my bank account connected.

buying monero was my first purchase.

Got banned 4 days later

Likely a hiccup in kyc, or you are from an area they arent allowed to serve

I use a vpn but that shouldn't affect anything should it?

I'm in US. I thought Kraken was fine in the US

Kraken has different rules for different States

blue_ocean767[m]: how old is your Kraken account

I'm thinking one of my defi wallets might be dirty. But I never tried to connect it to Kraken.

Also Coinbase just locked my account too.

Kraken account was less than a week old at time of banning

All my accounts on my mobile device are fine though.

I don't do illegal stuff so why am I getting flag for AML?

<Bon 💗> For real do they be banning people out of the blue

Coinbase and kraken at the same time = stolen id doesnt work

the fact he is banned on coinbase too is interesting, probably not even Kraken/Monero related

Me neither, Kraken is fine. I still consider of the best security cex out there. There is an active community member of Kraken on reddit, you could connect to them

Im

They found you

You need to contact coinbase and kraken and figure out what the issue is

Its not monero

I'm an avid defi user, but I stick to major Dapps. I don't use anything obscure. And it seems to be isolated to exchanges I interact with from my pc.

Nor monero related

they wont give him a reason though

Kraken didn't tell me crap

Defi is a scam

dsc_: He's an avid defi user

Probably has a lot of non fungible dust

Neither is Coinbase

ofrnxmr[m]: well then he deserves to be banned ... /me runs :D

They dont want to do business with tax evaders

Stick to defi

They just tell me the same we can't say for security reasons BS

How would I be flagged for tax evasion?

Yeah, because they've been made to notify or have been contacted by the authorities regarding Yoi

You

blue_ocean767[m]: Defi

Tied to your name = closing all accounts

Coinbase will close your account if you use samourai

How is defi tax evasion?

blue_ocean767[m]: Because every time you move an asset it is a taxable event

Nfts arent money

Yeah thats what it seems like. If both coinbase and kraken shut the account down

So you get banned for being a defi user? I thought you can use like Coinledger to report your them on your taxes?

If you never deposit anything onbkraken, then youre on a list

tfw you buy monero and get banned from kraken (lolno)

tell the rest of the class what really happened

I would if I knew.

where were you on the night of 12 february 2021

You do know

^^^^^^

blue_ocean767[m]: Nah I dont think that. Coinbase is a great promoter of defi like aave, compound, maker and more. I think it somehow external request.

But they why do all my other exchanges still work?

For bow^

Now*

Kraken andbcoinbase = highly regulated

Binance = scam

Binance will close your account with enough pressure

Kucoin wont let you kyc if youre American

But how do you get unflagged? since I'm not even sure what I did wrong?

You dont use shitcoins.

Now you get to contact whoever closed your account first

And ask them repeatedly for the reason - so that you can fix it on your end

They may never unban you, but id get them to tell me what the issue is. If not, contact the IRS and ask them

but they don't say. Trust I've emailed back and forth with Kraken over 15 times now. And they seem very unwilling to tell me why I was flagged.

Make sure to tell them youre an avid defi user

So they can laugh like a madman before disconnecting the call

What about defi is so sketchy?

The fact its unregulated and you want regulated businesses to associate with it

all i did was deposit 3.5 million usd worth of tainted wrappedXbTC and kraken is all "kyc please or you be banned" wtf isthat all about ?? literally just buying monero gets you banned.. theyrescared about our power tbh

I thought everyone uses Uniswap and the like.

Not around here

But I have been using other exchanges for years with no problem. This is the first I've ran into an issue.

Every few months the regulations get tighter

The chain analytics get better

And youre little secret becomes more obvious

s/youre/your/

The kraken CEO wrote a post about the regulatory pressure they face

But I don't interact with shady apps. I stick to more mainstream Dapps so I don't think that is the case.

Uniswap = government regulated entity?

Does the government agree with your statement?

So what they're just going to squeeze out all the defi users from CEXs? That's like 2/3 of the community?

And does the government care at all about people who decide to exit the system?

blue_ocean767[m]: No, its like 1/10000th

Literally over 50% of current eth was premined

But lots of people self custody.

Its nfts and stocks and other bs

Its not self custody of currency

Its trying to game the system

wut iz uniswap

I dont think its defi bro. There are a lot of people hating defi but that not reason in your case just ignore it haha. all the exchanges are deep into themself as investment or as in governance. I think its related to you as a person and you should figure this out.

CEXs bad, peer2peer good

P2peer monero good

P2p btc or eth = deathtrap

"I wonder where u can sell this dirty eth"

Not on a cex!

moneraut[m]: I'm trying. I'll see what happens when I file taxes this year. I was planning on using coinledger. since they seem to be one of the better ones.

if the irs wouldn't they have already made contact?

moneraut: im not hating on defi as an idea. Current defi is literally a setup

blue_ocean767[m]: I think it's IRS related as best I can guess. Not sure why it's just a couple accounts that get locked though. And not all of them.

nioc: nah, the IRS like to let you build up a debt, lie on your taxes, then come after you

blue_ocean767: id chalk that up the the exchanges who are willing to take orders from the irs

Coinbase acts proactively. They dont wait for orders.

nioc: I thought so too. That's why I'm wondering if one of my wallets is compromised.

Kraken would likely need to be commanded to close your account

blue_ocean767: compromised = someone can just deposit some dirty dust into your wallet

ofrnxmr[m]: Sure there is a lot true shit out there. Need to grow much more. I hope in the far future more way to interact between monero-bitcoin-ethereum between atomic swaps.

Iris would of sent 75,000 armed agents to you

But it could also be that you received bad coins to that wallet some time in the past, spent it, and they just noticed

ofrnxmr[m]: Wouldn't I be able to see that?

Did you use tornadocash?

blue_ocean767[m]: Yeah you have some tornadocash money

Depends on if it was a casual drive by deposit, or if it was received in a trade

Likely what moneraut: said

DanIsnotthemanBr: No, I've never used Tornadocash. But I have no way of knowing if all the ETH I've used is clean

You dont need to use tornadocash to have received sanctioned coins

ofrnxmr[m]: Well, I'm screwed if that is the case.

Exactly ^^ you, as a user, have no way of knowing

Except for using a cex

If you use a cex that checks the coins, you can guarantee they are clean

Non fungible blockchains 🚮

I'll try opening new wallets, and selling and transferring everyone over.

Start mining

exchanges rate your crypto deposits, I haven't checked in a while as they were always highly rated

My wallets have been getting old anyway. Probably time for some fresh ones.

blue_ocean767[m]: I dont know if this still works. But this is way to check if somehow an account have interacted with tornadocash: tornadoxxed.xyz

nioc: how do you see that?

I’ve had a transaction stopped cause it was going through a swap service

But they let it through, after please explain

blue_ocean767[m]: for kraken I don't know as they don't want my business and I would never touch coinbase

nioc: What exchanges are good then?

I am in New North Korea so there only limited offerings

Lol

no montero

directly

nioc: Honestly it's getting to feel that same way in the States.

I am in one of them

nioc: Yep, we all part of the surveillance state. It's the tie that binds us.

^ comments like this get your accounts cancelled

Yeah, probably why I'm facing grief.

I'd fight to get my accounts back.. just so I could close em

Coinbase doesnt even have Monero. Losing coinbase is like losing a heroi... meth addiction

Luv u fbi

So they dont ban me

I keep applying for jobs but they wont hire me 😡

Hard to get them back when they ban you and don't tell you why. I think one of my wallets is compromised. That's the most likely explanation I can think of or I interacted with something dirty that flagged it.

going to open new wallets and try to just wipe the slate clean

Maybe clean coins with detergent

Maybe use trocador condom feature

* use trocador monero condom feature

Is it weird that bitmain wanted too sponsor monerotopia

<DanIsnotthemanBr> "Maybe use trocador condom..." <- 😆 haha

Blockchain surveillance companies produce many false positives

Yeah they were talking about a case on monerotalk

Guilty until proven innocent

Guilty by probability

Maybe could be

<ofrnxmr[m]> "I keep applying for jobs but..." <- apply for banks

>sabotage

I posted an rba job position but you didnt take it serious

:(
