I would forget any normal exchange and go straight to an OTC broker. Genesis trading, SecondMarket's broker arm, has been around for long time now but there must be others.

Exchanges would get uptight and probably do anything possible to fuck with you. There are people out there with the money for that and people looking to link you with them.

Anyone arranging a sale through a lonely hearts ad is going to wind up with knife up their colon.  

If you tell your bank beforehand then there's less likelihood of them having kittens as well.

Amazing to see how far alts have come in such a short time. Imagine asking this in 2014/15 and being taken remotely seriously.

Anyway, I think Ripple is the obvious one. Despite it being around forever I still don't understand a bleedin' thing about it, let alone how it can justify such a price.

I just read up on it. You have to download the wallet and talk to the bot that's inside the wallet. You sign a message from your Bitcoin address that it accepts. It looks like you have 6 minutes so stop reading this.

Considering the track records of crypto exchanges it's perfectly understandable to get your knickers in a twist. Best to allow some time for resolution before running around with your undies on your head screaming.

I'm glad OP got his issues sorted.

I've spent so long up to my ears in crypto now that I only speak in binary or digital signatures to myself. My internal dialogue is rather more sluggish than it used to be as a result.



It's linked to BTC balances? Is it free? I think we're rather more likely to see a Byteball sell off myself. I haven't seen much mention of it on here in general.

Obviously exchanges front running and faking trades are taken care of. But I'm wondering whether they'll treat the trading as akin to stock markets or forex. I assume forex in which case their users will still be able to pump and dump with impunity if the laws are like most other places.

This is an interesting point. I know that they've now legitimised it in Japan. Does that also mean that Bitcoin trading is now subject to regular trading laws such as their stock markets would be?

1500 is the most commonly quoted figure these days.

I have never spoken the word to another human being. If I did I would pronounce the letters because it sounds more iconic.

All attempts have been refused. All future attempts are likely to be refused too. The market is simply not compatible with how the SEC operates and may not be for a long time so they can't approve it.

The theoretical advantage is greater investor safety, the ability to buy through the usual channels like brokers and certain tax advantages are possible too. It won't happen though so it's an idea to forget.

I'm not against bigger blocks. I just want the people who introduce them to be competent and not introduce the risk of even more centralisation than there is now. Nothing from the Unlimited crew has looked good enough so far.

Everyone apart from a few weirdos wants more scaling. If something is good enough then it'll be embraced. Going by what's come out so far from them it's not good enough. Of course there could be some Core poison in there, but that means they have to come up with something that's just undeniably better.

It certainly would for me at least. I'd be moving on to a coin that still had a chance of not becoming Paypal.

I'm sure he knows what he's doing. It's probably a peach tree that was hit by an airliner and it's on his aunt's land. Misdirection is the first line of protection.

A bunch of Chinese fellas who probably couldn't fill the top floor of a bus doesn't say much about what everyone else wants. Pitiful that so few have so much weight.

As far as I can tell most people who aren't in charge of warehouses full of blinking boxes want Segwit. That's probably down to it being the least shit option more than anything.

If Unlimited and its various options had been produced by people who are actually competent and it had the best ideas then the majority would get behind it and I'd be fine if that activated too. It's not. They haven't. So I would not be.

Do you own said tree? Some weirdo might take a fancy to it and decide to steal it during the night. Your wallet might be unearthed during the theft.

Holy shit. So Islam actually changes colours and landscape too? I think that's enough to make me believe in Allah. Boring old God has never done any landscaping in the last few decades.

The creation of them primarily. Unless you're diligent enough then you might be compromised when making them but there are enough tutorials to prevent that.

There will never be a summit. If we assume it survives then mining will end and the deflation will properly kick in. If its value is continued to be measured in fiat then that value will continue to rise long term. No doubt there'll be peaks in between but it'll be glacial compared to now.

I think it's going to die in the US at least. Americans would put profit before any other single thing and round on anyone who attempted to stop them from doing it.

I wonder who they're recruiting for their security. Let's hope it's beyond top notch as no doubt an army of Russian brats will be devoting every hour of every day to emptying it.
