Litecoin VS Stripe Identity

The price of Litecoin just barely went over its 2017 peak, which to many sounds bad, although 80-90% of all cryptocurrencies failed during the 2018 bear run, so litecoin has still beat the majority of the market. Source: 11 months ago

A crypto coin is simply a digital coin, created for making payments. Coins are created to act like money: in other words, they represent a unit of account, store of value, and medium of transfer. Crypto coins tend to take the form of their native blockchain, like with Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC) and Monero (XMR). Source: about 1 year ago

Yes. And harder to mine. The reward for miners becomes 6 coins instead of the twelve you receive when proofing (finding) a block. The value does happen right away.. It takes years of people collecting and holding. The amount of coins will remain the same. Not like the US government who can print money at will. 😂 Litecoin.org. Source: about 1 year ago

According to a Litecoin tweeter post, The Litecoin Network completed over 39 million transactions in 2022. Source: over 1 year ago

This sounds similar to what Revolut and other fintech companies ask to do for identity verification (selfie and photo of id). There is also Stripe Identity [0], which costs $1.50 per validation. Are there other cheaper or similar reputable services to this one? [0] https://stripe.com/identity. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

Not 100% sure but I assume (C) is referring to 3rd party identity verification services like what Stripe and many others provide. https://stripe.com/identity. Source: about 1 year ago

Yeah, but wouldn't adding identity/age verification solve the issue? If I recall correctly, they use Stripe for payments (at least in the web version), and Stripe provides strong identity verification (https://stripe.com/identity). So I don't see the need for such a drastic change. But maybe I'm missing something. Source: about 1 year ago

Some of this is about increasing friction, not collecting flawless info. Is it possible to fool Stripe Identity (https://stripe.com/identity) repeatedly? Probably. But it’s a pain to make new fake docs (or switch carriers) every time an account is flagged. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

There’s no easier way to verify identities than Stripe Identity. It lets you programmatically confirm the identity of users around the globe by scanning an image of an official form of ID, so you can prevent attacks from fraudsters while minimizing friction for legitimate payments. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
