getting the information from a tightly regulated bank could be a different story to getting it from an anonymous service on Tor though. They probably don't even store it.

completely unrelated as in if you follow the transaction graph they haven't crossed paths, so you'd need the mixer log to break the mixing.

It's difficult to know what they do with the coins, but they could be selling them on an exchange to move onto a different currency and then buy bitcoin again.

good mixers do that. They give you coins that are completely unrelated to yours

actually the best practice is not writing your own code and using thoroughly audited industry standards. Writing your own smart contracts for things that other people have already done and secured is akin to rolling out your own cryptography. Obviously, just like it's happened with openssl in the cryptography equivalency, this can also go wrong, but it's less likely.

If you write your own you should get your code audited by a specialist, or many, before deploying.

do you worry about the weights of your net being stolen off the app through reverse engineering?

chances are that once it comes out someone will hack it/reverse it to "run" on a standard Linux setup

I'd say back-end. The front-end of any software no matter how complex it is it will always run on a single device, while a scalable back-end could imply a complex architecture composed of multiple components running across multiple servers, all working together to serve the front-end.

That's weird. They did lots of publicity with Nokia and Movistar in Argentina.

who's gonna pay in bitcoin when they can do it in shitty soon-to-devaluate pesos?

yeah. I know of a startup doing significant data analysis with long-running (months without restarting) php processes.

could you briefly describe the benefits of each?

You can. In limiting countries you have a ridiculously low limit, and in further countries it's a bit higher. I was able to withdraw about €850 in Europe two weeks ago.

Got to level 2 and gave up on the Twitter app one, since I'm running Linux and I don't have an Apple computer handy.
