None of these attestations are required in order do use Byteball and you don't even have to do it from same devices and for same addresses.
Point of KYC is exactly that, do link your address to a person, so if you are fine with that, there is should be a problem, but if you take any service as a potentially a one who could sell it to Cambridge Analytica then just don't insert info that you are not comfortable with.

Question: How does a sectarian react to fundamental arguments?
Answer: With ignorance. It cannot be what may not be.

In a few days/weeks/months the next rounds will come on the subject of witnesses. - Back to the beginning.

The linked article from @jwinterm seems more and more plausible to me.

Hi jwinterm,

Yes, indeed, these data could be used against holders by tax administrations and governments.

But it's a naive way of thinking. When I want to buy bitcoins in my country, I have several choices. Unfortunately, in most of them, I have to provide my phone number or go trough a KYC process. Obviously, there are other means to proceed but in most of them, there is always a fingerprint which authorities can follow easily if they consider that I'm a person of interest.

And last methods available to acquire some btc are potentially dangerous.

Worst, if I want to sell my btc or other cryptos without risk, I have always to provide a data that will allow my government to find me if it wishes. Obviously, I can try to sell it dangerously for cash in streets.

And if I want to trade some shitcoins, I have several no-KYC platforms at my disposal but at my own risks obviously. And all good ones require a KYC process.

Basically, I cannot hide without assuming safety risks for myself. So, why trying to hide myself when my money is honest ?

Don't be sorry for the whining because I understand it. I could do the same thing but I have to be rational and defend my bag.  The best way I found to defend it, it's investing myself to educate people to how powerful is the Byteball technology and the opportunity it represents for the future.

My point is definitely not to offend people or to mock them but I hate disloyal arguments and unfair/ignorant propaganda. For instance, using the russophobia against Byteball is an unfair argument in my opinion. And when we know the Byteball KYC process goes through Jumio which is a US company related to US banking system, it's yet more unfair and disloyal.

Obviously, everybody is welcome on the Byteball BitcoinTalk thread but courtesy is required to keep the thread useful to the biggest number possible. That's all.

See you soon ;-)

Oh, really??!?! I didn't know it!!!

You did not read.

You are wrong. As a result of an international mass adoption, there would be economic incentives that would impede such scenario.

Negative... and talking about the result of an international mass adoption... no comment

Time will tell, don't worry.

Most is different from all. They don't agree on nothing.

Did explicitly agreed states on this? I don't think so.


Yes, yes, state is god.


What happened with confirmed transactions? Destroyed.

The same would not happen with byteball. Witnesses have nothing to say about/they can't harm already confirmed transactions. CANNOT.

Panic? For sure. Unrecoverable error? Not at all. Platform broken? Don't make me laugh...

Hehe, I can already see the first reputable witnesses leaving the bite ball ship as soon as the trade in drugs and weapons increases, the blackmail potential of crypto currencies first becomes known to a wider public, and the state's security organs are terrified. When, in the course of this, the media strike a big blow: "Strawberries, oranges, pears are prepared with needles. In the last two weeks alone, 23 deaths have occurred. Global blackmail gang demands 100 million USD to be paid in a crypto currency of a project called Byteball."

The publicly known witnesses then come into the focus of an enraged mob.
Threats...  maybe even lynchings...

Have fun in the bite ball echo chamber. 

Everything is on sale!

drugs, weapons, blackmail, enraged mob, threats, lynchings, bite ball... your unsconscient neurosis seems heavy.

@unicorn

I can't quote all of that since it will take up too much space. People need to scroll up to view the previous post you made.

there is either too much being lost in translation or you simply do not understand what I am saying. Trying to deny what i have merely observed and pointed out is pointless.

Everything I have suggested in the past would have clearly benefitted the project. There is nothing more to be said about it.

No tonych was not naive we had discussed going ahead would land the largest proportions with those ico managers and exchanges.
I am not in favour of airdrops to bitcoin holders anyway just on the basis i would not give the already most wealthy the most.

I am as selfish and greedy as any other normal person here. However arguing against airdropping to btc holders was not in my financial favour since i could have linked a lot more than i did and also it suits me financially better than some of my other suggestions. Wide distributions with no immediate super whales is best.

No need to apologise for your english I can not speak french. I just believe you do not fully understand everything that I am trying to convey.

I have no problem with people saying i want more money for doing nothing. However actually I am not doing nothing and if all the effort I had put into this thread and project had had any effect the real bb holders and enthusiasts would be better off and so would tonych. Also as i have explained people who buy and hold your alt are not doing nothing. They are adding to investor confindence which is a form of free advertising and at this time the most powerful type of advertising. When everyone dumps your project and people see it sinking that is showing a lack of confidence which can self perpetuate strongly.

I would love more money for doing nothing for sure that is not something you should doubt is a primary dream of a great proportion of people in the world.

I really honestly do not see your point that you are trying to make?

Are you saying trying to get people to invest and make it look as attractive as possible to future investors and hodlers is less important than drumming up adoption with baker and piano stores. Well that is useful too but the fast route to the top 50 right now is appealing to speculators and investors. Once there you will give yourselves a lot more financial leverage to develop applications and usage and get the attention of those that already have huge opportunities waiting in terms of adoption.  You will need a lot of volume and value to bring in big adopters.

come on guys....

With that Liberty Reserve example, you are missing the key point, they got busted because of money laundering, the same way how exchanges that doesn't require KYC will get busted with money laundering (or no bank will not accept them if they haven't done it). Byteball witnesses have nothing to do with fiat currencies and bots that accept credit cards also do KYC.
