Bitcoin Forum

Bitcoiners from Toronto chime in.  New or experienced i guess it doesn't matter.  Let us now what you are using or what you aspire to use.

Personally, looking to build an ASIC mining rig with a friend.  Ordering ASIC Chips this week!

From Toronto as well. Been a very long time holder of btc but wouldn't have the first clue about how to build and ASIC! haha... sounds awesome, good luck:)

Slightly off-topic, but there is some work-in-progress for a new bitcoin exchange based in Toronto.  Toronto Bitcoin Exchange - https://btcto.com/

Note: They are currently in "testing" phase and are encouraging people to try and hack their website and report feedback. (http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1clxws/come_and_hack_toronto_bitcoin_exchange_and_get_btc/)

(Hope you guys don't mind my hijacking the thread, was just excited to see a Canadian exchange potentially opening up.  :) )

Not sure what you're asking for... but I'm in Toronto as well.
Good luck with those chips...

Hello from Scarborough.

not from toronto but visited many times hello!

im from toronto!!! we should meetup

We've got over 115 members and the meetups are every other week.

and another from T dot

Wow, thats awesome! Wish I lived near toronto :(

Thats very cool to see the faces of bitcointalk members. I would love to see a meetup around northern california, id be there in a heartbeat!

First post.  CA!

First too! :)

damn, I can't wait to move back from halifax and meet some other bitcoiners in the flesh, its like being in antarctica up here  ;)

That was a great meetup! Haven't been able to make the ones since, how have they been going?

I'm looking to build a small rig (maybe just USB chips). I haven't done any mining myself before but I bought some coin back at around ~100 in the big run up and sold high, effectively doubled my investment. I'm more into this as a hobby though and some extra coin never hurt (fiat or otherwise). Anyone have suggestions for Canadian group buys?

Hi I'm from Toronto! Is it just the meetup.com meetup? I thought there was one at Nathan Phillips square too.

I'd like to come to one and meet/talk to real life Bitcoin users. I'd also like some feedback on my projects (QuickBT for Canadians etc).

Looking forward to meeting you all,

Jamie

I'm not from Toronto, but I travel there for business so I'm excited to see a good bitcoin community there. :) Hello!

Lol nice pic abotu the meeting will contact u when I come back ;]

Hi guy, from Toronto too. Have been there for 7 years. But just back to my homeland for my marriage. however, I will be coming back there in a short time.

when are the bitcoin atms coming out?

Hi, I'm from Mississauga and new to Bitcoins/crypto currency. Having alot of fun so far! Maybe one day I'll be at one of those meets. First I think I should get myself an ASIC. Love those little USB miners, they look so cool. Yet I hear run so hot.

when is the bitcoin atm coming out

hello from newmarket!

hi , can you withdraw from atm now  ? :)

Need to get from point a to point b anonymously with bitcoins? Now you can.

Available in Montreal and Toronto. Contact us via torchat or other secure method and have your taxi nearby in minutes.

Questions? Reviewers? Post or pm me for more info.

yes

Waterloo, ON Bitcoiner here (now that this thread is about Canada in general :)). Our community is doing pretty well for itself on the Bitcoin front; already on http://coinmap.org, there are 8 venues accepting Bitcoin in KW (I have yet to go to any personally though). How are other communities (large or small) doing?

It brings me pride that Toronto is represented in the Bitcoin community. Rest assured as mayor I have established a solid foundation for the future of our city.

-Robert Bruce Ford

First ATM in Saskatchewan! (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/saskatchewan-s-first-bitcoin-atm-opens-in-saskatoon-1.2631287)

The pace of Bitcoin ATM adoption is truly amazing.

http://ca.bitcoinfoundation.org/bitcoin-from-not-money-to-bankers-boogeyman/

Recently, the Bank of Canada has stepped up its anti-Bitcoin crusade. The Harper government has shown indifference at best and sometimes even outright hostility towards Bitcoin. Please keep that in mind next time you enter the polls.

Update from FINTRAC

http://btcfoundation.ca/canadas-financial-regulator-fintrac-confirms-new-bitcoin-rules-not-yet-in-force-and-wont-cover-individuals-and-businesses-that-use-bitcoin-for-sales-and-purchases-2/

This is excellent news! However, I feel that the damage may already have been done—I have felt a distinct lack of innovation from Canada recently.

Six new BTM (Bitcoin Teller Machines) will launch in the Greater Toronto Area (http://www.thestar.com/business/personal_finance/2014/08/13/bitcoin_exchange_to_launch_in_gta.html). CAVIRTEX is once again leading the way in the Canadian exchange space!

Having a guy from Vancouver in Kuala Lumpur this week. Hope he joins our Bitcoin meetup.

Greetings!

Anyone interested in TRX Training suspensions, bHIP energy supplements?

Ive heard that KFC Canada is accepting BTC for Fried Chicken Chain. Yummy

Noob here! Got few questions from canadiens, How do you guys convert your profits from binance into canadian dollars?  I tried coinbase and it can only deposit money from your bank account and cannot withdraw it!  So whats the fastest way to take out profits then send to your canadian chequing account?

Why Crypto market going down?

You could send BTC from other exchange like Binance you mentioned to a Canadian exchange like Quadriga, which is one of the biggest Crypto exchange in Canada.
Then you would sell it for CAD and you could then withdraw CAD to your bank account in many ways ( like Bank Wire, Direct Bank Transfer / EFT, Credit Card, Express Bank Transfer).

Dear Bitcoiner all,

I want to know and share his experience for all of you here, I got a Token from the bounty or airdrop, but I am confused about how to sell it, and I want to ask everyone here why the token price is different from the price at the ICO, are there tokens that are the same or more expensive as the ICO? if there is how to distinguish it? please enlighten me bro, Thank you in advance....  :)

hello,i am new.i am exited to it.any person help me....

actually how i get a merit???i heard something about bitcoin business..... but am very exited for work in bitcoin....

welcome to another day....i am extremely not happy because i have no merit...

Life is weird It is time to fight for life. It should never be said that. If you do your job, then one day you will be successful in your life ... and I am waiting and I will be there ...

Hello! Today I got acquainted with a new interesting project based on the smart contract ETH REVOLUTION.
I am not an admin or representative, the topic was created for discussion and is not a call for any action on your part.
30% Minimum monthly income
30% Minimum monthly income

Double the initial deposit: 100% return on your investment + 100% on top.
The project allows you to double your investment without burdening the fund with debt obligations.

Sustainable interest rate: our basic interest rate (1%) provides the investor with an income of 30% per month, while having a minimal impact on the potential of the fund.

There are no restrictions in the project, whether it is the minimum / maximum contribution or the limit on the total investment in the fund.

A referral program with instant payment to both participants: a referrer (3%) and a referral (1%) instantly receive rewards in their wallets.

Protection of the fund from chaotic dividend withdrawals: in order to minimize the withdrawal of the accumulated dividends by less responsible investors, we have rounded the dividend accrual period to 24 hours.

The ability to withdraw at any time 70% of the deposit of the amount of all investments: the investor can at any time receive 70% of the amount of all investments in the project by sending to the smart contract address 0.0088888 ETH available for withdrawal 70% = 70% of the amount of all investments minus the amount all percent already taken.

Risk-free increase in personal interest rate in arithmetic progression with the activation of the BUST mode.
When activating the BUST mode, your personal interest rate will increase in an arithmetic progression + 0.005% per day. To activate the BUST mode, you must send it to the smart contract address 0.0077777 ETH.

Extra bonus when investing more than 10 ETH. In cases of a total investment of more than 10 ETH, your personal interest rate will increase by 0.05%, if the total investment is more than 50 ETH, then by 0.11%, this bonus is added to the existing ones.

Smart Contract Address: 0xCC70db1aC810677c06D9CC1CDD8c953B12eDD3FA

Wow that will be very good if the KFC Canada accept bitcoin then it will be very better for bitcoin investors because KFC is a world popular company and there is no doubt that all of the KFC around the world will start accepting bitcoin then it will increase the demand of bitcoin.

Still looking for an ASICS rig? I kid, it's been a long time since that original post.


Let's keep the conversation going! How many of you have become involved in Bitcoin only in 2019? Let's start there! Get some education flowing to the newest among us. We can better this thread together. And I know there's a lot of smart Canadian folks in this community.

One more thing - anyone from Canada mining Pi (https://minepi.com/Wiant)? We could talk about the mining and philosophical differences between Bitcoin and Pi (https://minepi.com/Wiant).

real estate is a good investment for stability, but most of parameters at the moment are signalling that real estate market is already considerably up, and that is nearing a point when it should go down, still with these credit rates going down again, this moment will probably be shifted more in the future, since real estate prices will not go down until credit rates do not go up, there is a connection of cheap money source and real estate prices, i would also consider dividend stocks, but nevertheless DYOR (do-your-own-research) before investment

Nice to look everyone in here.

From Toronto as well. Been a very long time holder of btc but wouldn't have the first clue about how to build and ASIC! haha... sounds awesome, good luck:)

Willing to network with Bitcoin and other crypto currencies enthusiasts in Canada.

How were you introduced to bitcoin?
Have you invested in bitcoin and other crypto currencies recently?
What ways and methods are you using to earn Bitcoin?

I was earning in the past when it was altcoin season in 2017 then after that there was some dump came in market. I though that now this market will not get better so I started physical business but recently I found that I was wrong and crypto market is the future of online businesses and it is on rise again. So I am again planning to make mining rigs and start online crypto businesses.

When the high distance fell about a dozen steps, the anchor was lowered from the ship.

Hello Guys, I have A small question.

Someone is using (or used) Bitget in the country? I was looking for an Exchange and the first one was this one (actually the first thing was a lottery event for Canadians)

yeah it checks out as solid for me. recently switched to using them after pretty much every exchange imposed strict kyc requirements. have been happy since switching. solid range of tokens, wide range of products and services and practically a new event every day. just joined one of those ones you mentioned.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/ripple-expands-canadian-engineering-activities-with-u-of-toronto-xrp-validator

Leave you this New from a week ago to XRP holders

CEXs such as Binance and Bybit have already exited. In your opinion, which exchange now stands out as the most user-friendly and dependable for smooth futures trading, preferably without requiring KYC?

Quite a couple of CEXs now mandate KYC verification which I think goes contrary to crypto's  goal of promoting decentralisation, so i can understand why your preference is a KYC-optional CEX. For one that will deliver similar user satisfaction like Binance, I think Bitget is a valid option when you consider its user-friendly interface and the integration of products that help beginners navigate the huge industry, talking about products like Copy trading, Grid trading and the likes. Also one of the biggest derivatives exchange with some of the cost-effective fees in the market.

Hi how are you everyone?

I'm great, it's good to see other fellow Canadians on this forum, although our Canadian thread seems to be a lot more concise than the other countries.

We need to have more interesting news happening in regards to bitcoin in Canada lol.
