The troll box at one time I enjoyed watching made for a funny times.  But got old kinda quick.

I'm surprised you have not seen this forum if you purchased BTC.  This is pretty much one of the first stops for anyone.  But best of luck with the forum.

it is lively only because of signature, if it wasn't for that it would be akin to litecointalk, pretty much dead, there is a reason why theimos is allowing signature, because it increase traffic

if you can find a better exchange would be better, poloniex and cex.io have a good troll box and very funny moments, but they offer altcoin trading too and not only litecoin

I would agree some.  I really enjoy the site and have fun reading about gear and mining. 

Some hate signature's but I think if used right it is a great tool to get higher quality posts.  And also getting people to post and help others and be able to earn a little bit of coin.

I think it is good for forum and posters.  But that's just my 2 cents.  There is TONs of good information here, compare that to BTC-e chat that was mentioned is 90 percent trolls.

i would not use that service if you can use another, better service. btc-e is an old but shady exchange.

Coinbase, Kranken, Bitstamp, Circle are better exchanges.

Yes, it could be dangerous since owner is anonymous but not dangerous as "owner-known" exchanges like Coinbase, Bitstamp, Bitfinex and Circle.

Oh, welcome to the forum :)

This forum is crowded, because sig campaign and altcoin ANN thread.
You should, you can get a lot cryptocurrency information here, one place, more info. Also you should visit reddit.com/r/Bitcoin

Just buy and HOLD, is good investment. Maybe use other exchanger, it's good idea, like guys above me said, BTC-e is unknown-owner.

I myself just knew about this forum a little more than a month ago but that was about the time I knew about BTC, Pretty much everything related to bitcoins redirects you back to this forum.
I prefer BTC-E myself as although it's a little shady but not as stingy as the other exchanges in verification as far as I remember.

This forum is indispensable if you have any questions regarding Bitcoin. Say your wallet is not working as it should, or if there is some technical issue you do not understand. Also good for news on development, new projects, legal issues.

If you are used to the troll box you might be able to recognize that the "securities" section here is 100% scams, ponzis and rip-offs. Don't invest in anything there, no matter what anyone says.

There's plenty of good reading here, also plenty drivel, but over all informative and entertaining.

It's not ALL sig posters....

This is not the BTC-E forum, this is the Bitcoin forum. No association with btc-e. BTC-e is small comparated to Bitcointalk, and even when compared to other big exchanges.

If someone from trollbox said that this is the BTC-E forum, he trolled you

I can't believe BTC-E still exists those days :). Only thing, nobody knows who the owners are.

I recommend you keep most coins in cold storage and do not rely on an exchange to hold your coins long term

This is very good idea.  Either USB drives with it or paper wallets.   If done properly do wonders.

It means YOU keep control of your BTC no matter what.   This is huge not to mention if done right it is much safer.

or a hardware wallet  :)

only if it'is really cheap like beatbox or hw1, i'm against suggesting new comers to spend 100 for something that is even difficult to understand for them

My hate with hardware wallets is when someone new buy's a used one.   Always buy a new hardware wallet from a authorized source.

If you buy used sure chances are it's ok.  But you never really know for sure and it could have been tampered with.

BTC-E is one of the oldest bitcoin exchanger. I've use it more than 2 years. I've traded more than 100 btc in btc-e with no problem.

Having known the owner doen't make it secure. Look at the big sh!t mtgox that was owned by karpales and many other exchanger and bitcoins sites that has known owner.

It is a very popular exchange.  It just is not known for the most timely support.   

If in US the above exchanges might be better for user if there is a issue.

I could not decide if you are talking about bitcointalk or btc-e. Bitcointalk is the biggest and the oldest Bitcoin forum in the world, Satoshi - creator of bitcoin posted here back in the days.
If you are bitcoin user it is rather surprising that you didn't register here sooner. And if you are talking about BTC-e it is not even the top 3 exchanges by volume.

i personally don't like BTC-e for my trades , it is partly because of its looks which i am not comfortable with. and also partly because i have heard a lot of complains about long withdrawals, hacked accounts, bad support , ....

nowadays i prefer using bittrex and sometimes cryptsy for some coins that are not on bittrex.

I use btc-e for btc to usd conversions and yeah its awesome so far :0

I personally not like BTC-e because their support is worst and withdraw is more worst my friend lost 10 btc few months ago and they never reply any support ticket just because of this I never suggest this to any one

Agree, on the other hand, its good to have diversity out there.
