Podcast: Catching up with Josiah (Chilling_Silence) from the DigiByte Foundation
Josiah talks about what has been going on for the Foundation, over the last couple of weeks, and what's being worked on now.
In this weekends livestream we'll talk about DigiID! We'll also look at centralization, premines, on-going mining bounties going to a centralized entity, and what it means to be really decentralized.
Check out https://twitter.com/ltlovesdigi and https://twitter.com/raindropactual and give them both a follow!
In this DigiByte and Friends, we look at the Coinflip ATMs and their intentional lack of KYC, which facilitates offshore scam artists, and Coinflips business model is basically "taking a cut" (7%) of enabling scammers. Where there's 80%+ "remittance payments" made using an ATM, something is definitely wrong.
Where a 65+ year old grandma is using it to make "remittance payments", something is up, and a quick KYC phone-call from Coinflip to them would have clarified that and could save the end-user from being sucked in through a scam that's facilitated through Coinflip ATMs.
