I don’t really get your point, an open source project is one that is open for everyone and anyone to verify the codes that the developers used, while in a closed source project you cannot verify the codes by yourself, this is the reason more people like open source projects more.


What I am trying to say is that some projects may claim to be open source and at the end of the day you realized that they are hiding something which makes it a scam.

I also have a lot of good things to say about the crypton exchange but the only thing I believe the developer team needs to fix on the Crypton exchange is adding more coin and it will be nice if they start with Ethereum since there's tangible privacy trading for it in the cryptocurrency market.

I believe you, if there are sufficient trading pairs and enough coin options there would be more demand in the exchange, but if people cannot trade the coin of their choice on the exchange, they will surely look elsewhere, so this is one aspect the dev team have to work on, though i know everything needs time.

Getting more demand, use, and traffic of the Crypton Exchange is the major reason I bring up the suggestion of the Crypton Exchange adding more cryptocurrency. Besides, this is the only drawback I see on the exchange.

Good suggestion. This will skyrocket the use of their exchange to a very high number of traffic.  I think in business it's all about what you can offer. That's where Utopia comes in.

I never really understood this uNS stuff. It's a bit complicated. I don't know if anyone here is willing to break it down for me. Like what it means, what does it do, how it affect crypton and the utopia community, and also the cryptocurrency at large?

Yes, Crypton coin has proven not to be a one-season cryptocurrency and i believe every crypto that's resilient in the total bearish market is good crypto for investment just as CZ Binance advises that the bear always exposes weak coin.

I still think you should invest in crp.  It should be worth more than a dollar this year.


When you say invest in Cryoton what do you mean? Are saying we buy some bunch of Crypton and keep them in our wallets? In this case, I usually advise people to invest what they can afford to lose. I'm not saying Crypton is a bad investment but putting all you have there might be.

Yeah, Crypton is doing very well. Even their exchange platform is doing well as well. There's barely a glitch, it is very fast, and the transaction fee is considerably low. They are they way to go.

Well since 2019 till now to me is a good number of time and I can say Utopia p2p has made the number of years count they have really done well in this short period of time.

Good point mate.  But I still believe there is more room for improvement. From 2019 till date is around four years now,  I think they should have a better picture of where this project is going to. They lack traffic here honestly.

These whole transaction cancelation is driving me crazy. When you say double spend, do you mean if I should send $10 out to another wallet and want to cancel the transaction I have to send another $10 to cancel my previous transaction??

No, it depends on the network here, if we use bitcoin as an example, if you wanna double spend a coin you are actually spending that particular coin “twice”, you could send 0.1 btc to a merchant whom you want to purchase goods from and use a very low fee, if the merchant lets you go, and with the transaction still in 0 confirmation, if you set RBF, you can spend that same 0.1 btc again by sending it to a different address with a bigger fee, the miners would drop the first transaction and confirm the second one because it has a bigger fee, and in that way the merchant loses and would not get any pay. That is why it is always good to wait for 1-3 confirmations before letting your customer go, if you accept a coin like bitcoin for payment.


That's really interesting.  Thank you.  But hold on,  the other 0.1btc that was dropped can another blockchain carry it? Also, what is RBF?
I also have heard that just one confirmation is not enough that it can be canceled.

If you have not heard about it, i will briefly explain: in pig butchering scam, the scammer sends a random message to the prospective victim, in a bid to start a conversation or build friendship, most times it is a romantic friendship that has to do with love and sending pictures over the internet, just to build trust.

Once this mystery friend builds your trust, they introduce you to a fake platform where you can make money, in that website you would see that money can be made, but it is fake, your mystery lover would ask you to deposit and join them in making money, after your first deposit into that platform, you would be paid to build more trust, but the moment you come with the big money, your funds are gone. Beware of pig butchering scam, take a second out of your time to check it on the internet, there’s a lot of modus operandi, do not fall victim.


Wow, thanks for sharing this. I don't if it's a normal thing,  I can never send someone money or do business with someone over the Internet.  No matter how close we are. If you need business or money meet me at an open bar then we discuss.

Platforms like Utopia highlight the importance of Privacy.

Privacy is very much overlooked in today's society with the constant desire to overshare information with strangers on the internet. Some people have so many details just lying around in their online trail, such as their address, work-place, family, regular destinations, daily routine etc.

This is because the value of data is not perceived by most. They feel that since they are not celebrities or public figures, they do not need to bother about what they reveal, but that is far from the truth.
Data is a sort of digital gold with every industry and wealthy personality wanting a share of the pie. And the internet is being used to harvest more and more data about its visitors, data which could later on be sold or used for targeted ads.

You cannot guarantee if your data is being used maliciously, protect it, cause once privacy is lost, it can never be recovered.

First of all, I'll like to thank you specially for taking out the time to put this out there for everyone to read and learn from.
Privacy in our today's society is underrated just kike you said. Some come up with the phrase "What are you protecting?"  many platforms steal data from us each we visit them. A primary example is Google, I don't want to go down to TikTok and the rest of them out there. We seriously need to be conscious of the kind of things we give permission to over the Internet.

Let us look at what utopia has achieved so far and not even what is missing, there is no system in which something isn’t missing, even bitcoin is yet to fully solve scalability issues in their own network. Utopia provides great decentralization and privacy and it is a good hub for those who value such.

Utopia as a community is doing beautifully well. Despite all the issues arising in the cryptocurrency market, the Utopia community has been able to manage it all excellently well. For me, they doing very well for their level.

Yes. Both open and closed source networks have advantages and disadvantages, but the idea of closed source networks having more drawbacks was because some people once abuse the system. Closed source or not, I trusted the source code of the Utopia p2p ecosystem.

The disadvantage with closed source is that you will trust the developers, even if you don’t know them, what if they are not to be trusted, but in open source you can verify everything by yourself and trust only yourself, this is why people like open source projects and prefer it to those that are closed source.

But whatever source they are, either open or closed are they open to everyone to know? I think some may never tell you until you've gotten deep with them.

Well if the team or admins ever wants to start another competition I believe that the Uefa champions league is in a good stage for that and they can work with who would win the Uefa champions league.


Speaking of who would win the UEFA, who do you think would win this season's UEFA champions league? I think Manchester City will get the job done. But Bayern is a huge threat to the game.

Yeah,  that absolutely right. The forum is doing just fine as you said and when non-English speakers get here and needs a new board for them the administration knows what to do.

I agree with you there. But you don't have to act broke to keep yourself safe and your money. I guess just simply living your life without discussing how much you own in your cryptocurrency wallet will keep you safe.

I know about that, and my point was never for a person to act broke to themselves and their families, no, you have to take care of your loved ones, friends, family and be kind to strangers. But there is nothing wrong in acting broke in the eyes of the general public, and the way to do so is to keep mute always about how much you own, even if you are on a table and people are discussing their wealth, do not be tempted to blow your trumpet.


Well, I still maintain living a moderate life and talking less about how much you own in your wallet will definitely keep you and your money safe.

Well it depends mate, most transactions require like three confirmations before it reflects on your receivers address I don’t think it’s possible on all platforms but if those transactions block hasn’t been confirmed you can retrieve your coins.

This is incorrect. Platforms like exchanges require a minimum of three transactions to accept a transaction as valid, but at the time the transaction is made, it would reflect on the other address and from the first conformation it is spendable by the receiving address.

If it has 0 confirmations, it has not technically been sent and it is possible to double spend.

These whole transaction cancelation is driving me crazy. When you say double spend, do you mean if I should send $10 out to another wallet and want to cancel the transaction I have to send another $10 to cancel my previous transaction??

Well,  I get your point. Also, you will agree with me that whatever job is here will definitely pay more than most 9 to 5 jobs. The pay are not great but fair in a way.

It depends on the country mate, if you work in the United States for example, most physical jobs would surely pay you better than what you can earn online through uJob. But if you work in an underdeveloped country, you may be earning better through this kind of channel than what you earn physically.

I believe you can get paid better on online jobs than most office jobs no matter your location. It's a matter of time and how much effort you're willing to offer.

I am sure so many people would want to learn about Russians and what is going on there because they government hardly allows the media to publish news about what exactly is the situation in Russia. But one thing i noticed after working with many Russians over the internet is that they are good people, very much different from their government, Russians are smart and advanced technologically, but the bad things their government does sometimes overshadows people’s judgement of an average Russian.

I agree with you one hundred percent. It's good to hear someone has a totally different but good view of the Russians.  They are very good people and worthy to be around.

If the original topic has been exhausted then the thread should be abandoned and any off topic discussions can have a board created just for it.

There is no harm if the thread stays inactive for a bit, till relevant replies are available to be shared in it.

I find this piece of information a bit hard to understand. If you don't mind kindly throw more light on it. Are you saying peer-to-peer is not recognized on centralized exchanges?

A peer to peer transactions means there is no mediator. User A transfers directly to User B who receives it and makes payment. There is no third party involved and if there must be to ensure security, it would be an escrow who has limited activity in the transaction.

Ina centralized exchange, User A first has to deposit his funds to the exchange, then transfer it to User B still within the exchange. User B then makes the payment.
At any point during the transaction, the exchange can cancel the transaction and seize the funds.

I'd that is core t then,  using any exchange at all is bad since they (exchange) can cancel on me while I'm still transacting. But this brings me to the next question, do they take my funds as well when they canceled on me?

I have noticed this across all the crypto communities I have been into over the years. Russians have a very strong blockchain community and tend to help each other to learn more about the technology.

I look forward to this channel being run exclusively by Russians.

Russians might have a good hand on blockchains but that doesn't mean they gave the ability to control a whole ceyoricurrency project alone. It should be a collective effort from different regions and countries.

I hope to see the two Manchester football clubs in the final and I will be happy if City is the winner due to how I like Pep Guardiola the current manager of the club ever since he manager Barcelona years ago.

That's quite a prediction don't you think? The chances of that happening are very slim. Those two clubs coming together at a final is like a pit fight.  But I'll consider both of them winners despite whoever wins.

Well, if it's true or not,  the management knows what's best for business and I'm sure that is what they are doing. The protection of their players should be their number one priority. This will lead them to great success.

+1 on this, it would be a great addition if the forum admin makes it possible.

Having a service board would attract lots of skilled members to the forum so they can market their abilities and there would also be a market for those seeking certain services to get them, benefiting everyone.

Exactly,  these things will lead to more traffic on this forum. Many people who come here are looking forward to seeing what this forum has to offer if that service board should work out that might be a prayer answered for them.
