10901  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Don't Buy Bitcoin - Earn It (Antonopoulos) on: August 08, 2019, 11:49:21 AM

What Antonopoulos said is indeed great. But hey, that's only assessing the facts. It's necessary indeed for the outsiders, but we should have already known this.

This is why I posted in beginners and help.
I know you, me and a many others here are already doing this. I am  just sharing this perspective with new comers.

I agree, that's not a breakthrough. But it is certainly not something we read or hear every day, even here....
10902  Other / Beginners & Help / Don't Buy Bitcoin - Earn It (Antonopoulos) on: August 07, 2019, 10:15:32 PM
In my opinion, Antonopoulos is one of the few people that says things that makes sense in this ecosystem.
He released this video today
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=GEuMVmjKAKk&app=desktop

There are so many scammers, lies, paid chills, etc, that I don't believe many people out there. But this guys knows what he is talking about and most of what I learned about bitcoin I learned with him (books, YouTube videos, etc).

He just said something that is amazing. Stop treating bitcoin as an investment. Try to see it as money. Do you buy EUROS? You earn it, to live.

I am happy to be earning bitcoins through this forum and in a few more places. Thank you @theymos for making this forum such a great place, a place where we can earn some bitcoins here in so many ways. Bitcointalk is a place were bitcoin is money, not only an investment.


Antonopoulos gave a few ideas:
You can sell things you have for bitcoin, for example.
Make translations. Services.


He also talks in the video about bitcoin being energy inefficient.
I just made a manual transcription up while hearing it (I like to write up good ideas), and I will paste here to share with you guys (transcription not entirely faithful.)

Bitcoin uses energy in the most incredible and efficient way and convert that energy into robust security for a nation state resistant global network that is the most secure time sequenced recording of immutable truths that we have ever build on this planet.
A monument of immutability that cannot be shut down by the most powerful forces in the world.

This looks like awesome efficient use of energy.
War and Christmas light are very inefficient use of energy.

The best way to solve war? How about take money control away from government that fund war?

It is very important for someone to buy a bus ticket to Turkey when they live in Syria with Bitcoin, and trust me, they can.

At least now I have some advantages of being poor: 2 BTC withdrawal limits is far beyond my possibilities for trading, so I didn't need to do any KYC in binance lol
10904  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin Save Investors? on: August 07, 2019, 09:49:53 PM
Bitcoin never saw a global crisis before. It is possible that its price will not follow SP500 or any other index in the case of a crisis, and it may behave more similar to gold.
In this case we all we have a nice opportunity: Sell some bitcoin and buy more stable assets with a huge discount.

This may be a game changer in my life =D
10905  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why .IO is popular in crypto websites than .COM ? on: August 07, 2019, 11:11:12 AM
All answers above are wrong.

Cryptocurrency projects uses .io or .info or .tech or .shit or whatever simple because .com is not available or it is more expensive.

Take for example.blockchain.info. they bought .com finally after 10 years, for millions


About that price, .IO is more expensive than .COM.


This information is wrong and makes absolutely no sense.
10906  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: how to choose crypto exchange? 9 main criteria on: August 07, 2019, 11:04:06 AM
The most important about exchanges is to find one with yourfiat/BTC pair
This exchange must be reliable, with quick deposits/withdrawal

Once you find it verify your identity there, buy bitcoins and remove your bitcoins from the exchange immediately (the risk of holding funds in any exchange is too high)

Then if you ever want to buy more BTC or any alt,. Go to that exchange and buy BTC. And change that BTC for alt on binance.

You are not marrying with any exchange, if it looks like the exchange is getting troubles, just move to another one.

If you are in usa or whatever Europe you are in lucky (as always lol). Coinbase, bitstamp, Kraken, many good put there.
10907  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Tether(USDT) Trezor on: August 06, 2019, 07:05:38 PM
you can export ERC20 token private key and add it into MetaMask or MyEtherWallet

The correct terminology would be Token Contract Address, not private key.

This may lead people to paste their private keys by mistake

More information here

What is a Token Contract Address?

If you've tried adding a new token to track for a wallet, one of the form fields asks you for a 'Token Contract Address'. This refers to the address location of the actual token contract that manages the logic for the tokens. This does not refer to the address that holds your own personal tokens!

To find out what this address is, we recommend looking at the token's website for more information or going on https://etherscan.io/tokens and searching directly for the name of your token!

When dealing with fiat, kyc is almost always involved.

What did you think? That you would make an anonymous financial transaction to your bank account? Also, you gave them your banking information, they already know who you are. They just need documents for legal reasons.
10909  Economy / Services / Re: I Pay you $100 for your to sign me a msg with your Bitcoin or Ethereum address on: August 06, 2019, 04:33:02 PM
btw there is no fuckn scam and when you sign the msg you will understand what i'm doing, and you feel free to reject signing if it was scam of any kind
if you can just tell us the motives behind this, people will stop guessing or think negatively of this
expressing your intentions in public can attract more candidates
is this for tax purposes?

Probably he is doing something not legal. Avoid taxes, money laundering... I am not here to judge his motives, but people who are going to sell really should consider the risks involved. You may be binding your identity to some shady activity (if your address can be tracked back to you, which probably can (to high value of funds, often exchanges are involved in transactions of so high amount)
10910  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Different Bitcoin Address Formats on: August 06, 2019, 12:31:39 PM
I've never used a Bech32 address and I've never seen any service I use offering one either.

I have used bech32 addresses a few times in coinomi wallet.
It has a feature that automatically send change to a bech32 address to reduce fees. Personally I didn't like it very much as really many services didn't recognize it and I had a few problems with compatibility.
10911  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Discord & scammers. Check user IDs and user colors of strangers send you PMs on: August 06, 2019, 11:39:36 AM
Just like bitcointalk, everyone should avoid private communication in telegram. Talk in public places such as groups, and always confirm the identity on the group.

On a group it is easier to detect scammers. Here, for example  everyone quickly tag and accuse scammers  on threads . On pm you are more vulnerable

10913  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Safest cold storage options currently on: August 06, 2019, 01:50:34 AM
If someone is willing to torture you for your bitcoin, then it is pretty irrelevant if you have a hardware wallet, airgapped device, paper wallet, or whatever.

Lol

But there is something you could try to do in this situation

Ledger nano allows you to keep 2 pins registered in the same device. The second one has the same seed, but with a passphrase. You could a small quantity in one of them, and then the torturer could be cheated. If he is satisfied with quantity
10914  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Different Bitcoin Address Formats on: August 06, 2019, 01:39:32 AM
I'm using more or less all of them (1.., 3..., bc1q...), but SegWit addresses have advantages because fees are cheaper.

I was going to ask why you use legacy. But then I remembered that I still use as well, to sign messages. They are still better for that.
Only Electrum and maybe a few other software sign messages from segwit address,at least until some time ago.


Do you know if  bitcoin core can sign messages from segwit addresses? Any solution for this ?
10915  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How long does it take to send BTC to Cryptobridge on: August 05, 2019, 05:26:15 PM
Status 1097 transactions.

Do you mean confirmations?

As TryNinja said, just email the exchange with tx id. The funds should be in your account if the address is correct. This is probably a problem with the exchange. Never heard of it, so it might not be so good...

Yeah, it is clearly a scam.
10917  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: When will they fix Ledger Nano S firmware? on: August 05, 2019, 05:16:53 PM
I cannot understand all this drama and crying about storage space in ledger nano s.

You do not need the apps installed to hold your coins. You don't need the app installed to receive coins. You just need the app installed if you want to send coins.

Do you really send your coins all the time? Can't you uninstall an app and install another when you want to send coins? That's literally takes less than 2 minutes.

And you can keep installed BTC eth (and all its shitokens) and one more protocol coin (eos, Tron and all its shitokens).

 That's not that inconvenient , unless you are a frenetic trader , sending and receiving coins at super human speed. And you must be doing that with 4 different blockchain!

You can track your balance on ledger live as well even without the device plugged in
10918  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Elextrum Hacked? on: August 05, 2019, 10:45:51 AM
Electrum version 4.0 doesn't exist.
Did you download from Electrum.org?
10919  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Safest cold storage options currently on: August 05, 2019, 10:44:51 AM
But you know.. there might be an exploit in the QR code scanner. So effectively, you are never 100% secure.
However, using a dedicated computer just for storing the private keys is definitely one of the most secure options.

I think the main reason for people to avoid hardware wallets are the physical attacks.

However those attacks  can't be mitigated by an airgapped computer, unless you format it after creating the paper wallet.

But you could also do it in a ledger, just reset it always after use. (Pretty annoying and I don't think that's useful)
10920  Economy / Exchanges / Re: gEMINI CLOSED MY ACCOUNT WITH no EXPLANATION... WHY? on: August 05, 2019, 05:16:56 AM
So now i can't login to access any of my digital assets and this after moving all my trading crypto (not my HODL cryptos) to Gemini just in case I needed to make a trade while traveling. I thought Gemini was different and safe... what the hell?
No exchange is safe. All of them are hell.

Your funds were probably frozen because they want more documents. Governments all over the world are demanding more information from cryptocurrency exchanges.

I would email them , contact support, create post on Reddit, everything
