This is SO WRONG from all POV !
We are trying to make Bitcoin as much anonymous and decentralized possible, yet people want to go back to centralization of data and de-anonymize it.

First of all, Bitcoin is about SELF-RESPONSIBILITY. That means if you are fucking idiot that do not pay attention what is paying or you get a stupid malware IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT.
Be a fucking responsible, do not delegate your responsibility to a 3rd party.

Secondly, a merchant that uses this type of "verification" is actually giving away his total sovereignty over his bitcoin. This is just a step away from giving this information to any state agency that want to control your movements.

No matter how many bullshit fancy "protocols" you mention that are "military-grade" crap security, the fact that is concentrated into a single point of failure is already RED FLAG !

FFS PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING DUMB NOWADAYS ! UNBELIEVABLE !

Fully agree with you on this, my question is why and how such project get support from community members like BTCpay, @zaprite, @BenJustman's PeonylaneWine, @oshigood, @PlebLab and others...

Because they were ALL fooled... and like you, they just follow what others said...
Don't be just a follower because some others are supporting it. USE YOUR BRAIN. Question everything !
This is all a trap, and most of people do not want to see it.

I do not need any "verification" of an address, I want the seller to give me his address without any intermediary. Read again

a PURELY P2P cash....

No intermediary !

verification = centralization
And what will happen with all that centralized data?

No intermediary !

Fair enough, noted. What brought you back to this post nearly two months after it was shared?

I always do this, zaping or commenting on old posts, if is necessary.
Stackers are used here to be first to zap to get more daily rewards. I am not that kind of user... I like to zap in the shadow...

Because Branta deleted the original post, where I said my words. RED FLAG again. They want only clueless followers, not critical thinking.

ahaha, truth is painful. Are you referring to this #1279723 or something else somewhere else?

They did note it at the beginning of this posts:

Disclosure: An earlier version of this post was published two days ago. It was withdrawn for revisions to improve clarity and accuracy.

Anyhow, it still a redflag, even if Branta mention that All addresses are purged after a TTL (usually 1 hour, sometimes 1 day - receiver decides.) there's no certainty data is deleted once provided by merchants and vendors. For this reason we should be careful to who we provide such information.

That guy was trusting that woman too. Trust is not enough and the only thing guiding us are the morals and ethos of bitcoin. We must keep those in mind.
