Hello! This forum did not exist in July, or I would have asked about it back then. This is mostly aimed at people who have been using Palai since before July 2021, so all you users who started claiming Palai in 2018, 2019 and 2020, feel free to speak up. How do you feel about the Palai transaction database being made available to the public? This happened in the middle of July 2021. Before, you could only see the transaction numbers of your own transactions; if you tried typing any other transaction number into the web address, you would get a "not found" error; the transaction database was not public, you could only see your own transactions. After mid July, the database went public, so it didn't matter if you were looking for transaction number 13 (believed to be the first transaction, made on May 22, 2018), or transaction number 1700000 (a transaction made only a week after the transactions went public), all transactions had become public. Now, I discovered Palai because of the cryptocurrency industry so I don't mind this; if Bitcoin and Litecoin's transactions are public, why not Palai? It also helps that the username parts of the addresses are encoded for privacy reasons if you were not involved in the transaction. I actually guessed that this would happen; coming from a cryptocurrency background, I was surprised in 2019 when I couldn't look through the transaction databases, and typing numbers into the transaction URL always gave me an error unless it was one of my own transactions. But in mid July 2021 when the transactions went public, I got a little bit fascinated; first, I watched new transactions come in for several hours; mostly basic income claims, of course. And then I got really excited when I started typing lower numbers into the URL; for a long time I was convinced that Palai was founded in November 2018, but someone from DSB claimed to have seen it as far back as May that year; well, there were absolutely no posts about Palai online from before November 2018, so not until I saw those transactions did I have evidence that Palai existed back then. It was pretty cool to see what transactions back then looked like; of course lots of experiments and such. So, all of you who used Palai before the transactions went public, how do you feel about the transactions being public now? As I found Palai through people in the cryptocurrency space, I am okay with it; I was surprised it hadn't happened earlier, or even from the start. In fact, I think the Palai privacy policy (yes, I actually read most of it a month or two ago), which, according to the document, hasn't been updated since March 2019, may have actually predicted the publication of the Palai transactions. So, has anybody ever been made uncomfortable by Palai publishing the transactions? Has anybody ever deleted their account over it? How many people think that Palai is safer because of the transaction publication? For example, if someone is selling a large amount of Palai, the transaction record can prove that they have how many they say they have, so in a way, it makes it more secure; also, when you have a username on Palai, since the username is encoded, that does add some personal privacy.

I couldnt care in the slightest what was sent where.All that matters is if Palai has any real use and value.
And currently it has neither, literally all boards are jsut full of people trying to get at least some pennies out of their tons of palai.
Noone interested or willing in buying palai. :-/

For a long time, I believed that the reason for this is because the cryptocurrency industry seems to be run 95% in English, and with sites like DSB and the Palai Marktplatz Facebook group only being in German, that leaves a lot of people out. I started this site in English for that very reason; having a community that is only in German leaves a lot of people out.

Hey, has anyone tried this weird german site called calces.de or such?
which claim to deal with palai , but just want your login credentails to , probably, just empty your palai account?
got this recommended today but after a simple look there, having to tell them your god damn password and all screams scam really hard :-/

I've used it before, I never had a problem with them trying to empty my account, I think this is Palai's problem! Palai has no way of having another site keep track of your Palai without giving them login info, I just emailed Palai saying they need to have a "Login to Palai" tool, then people will be less afraid. You see, Calces doesn't ask for login info for Bitcoin, Dogecoin, etc., so this is totally a Palai-related problem.

You gotta agree that , when you go to a completely new site nd want to exchange like palai for dogecoin or such, that it SCREAMS scam all over if the first step is to heap give them your password, login data,etc?
they totally could wipe the account clean and not take only the like 500 palai you intended to use.
Palai issuem,yeah. there is a "send palai" button, according to support the calces mods are jsut too lazy cause they would have to manually do deposits and withdrawals and rather use some handsf ree API which gives them all the passwords to tons of accounts >:-(
