Go here and download the wallet. electrum.org. Put all your bitcoin there.

Go here Coins.ph create an account there so that you can withdraw your bitcoin when you need the money.



Don't put all your bitcoin in coins.ph its much safer that you have a wallet in your computer than in an exchange.



If you have some altcoins then go here myetherwallet.com just follow the step and your good to go.



This. Wag ka masyadong nag iiwan ng malaking pera sa Coins.ph. Preferably, use your own non custodial wallet. (Guide on wallets: https://cryptosec.info/cryptocurrency-wallets/)

Also, kung kalakihan ang hawak mong bitcoin, probably P10,000+ siguro, invest some money on a hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano S[1] or Trezor[2].

12542  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Safest way to go from paper wallets to Trezor on: April 09, 2019, 12:55:39 AM
Probably simply sweep the paper wallet's keys onto a reputable mobile wallet like Mycelium[1], then simply send it over to your Trezor bitcoin address. I personally really prefer using a phone than using a computer. I really don't trust my Windows 10 device that much. Tongue

Yes. They have reopened last month.

Now, should you still use them? That's another question. I'd only use it if I had no other choice; and one thing's for sure, I definitely would leave funds on Cryptopia for more than 5 minutes.

12544  Economy / Speculation / Re: Whales are back ? on: April 08, 2019, 03:13:31 PM
Higher trading volume doesn't necessarily mean that the whales came in(assuming that they went out in the first place); it could simply might mean that there are more traders and or more offers being executed in general. One exchange user is not limited to having only 1 buy/sell exchange offer.
12545  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What do you prefer - Centralized or Decentralized Exchange? on: April 08, 2019, 01:06:58 PM
Currently, centralized exchanges. Simply due to the reason that centralized exchanges has better overall liquidity, and they tend to work better and smoother(compared to the dexs I've used in the past). But of course I still got my eyes on decentralized exchanges. Though I really don't have that much of a problem with centralized exchanges as I withdraw immediately after every trade anyway.
12546  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: short term, cheap btc cloud mining??? on: April 08, 2019, 12:53:20 PM
Again, just as I always say on "cloud mining" threads, cloud mining "services" are either:
  • A scam
  • Not profitable

Not to mention you're asking about short-term. Mining in general is quite a long term investment.
12547  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Saving your private key in your email is a lethal move on: April 08, 2019, 02:22:32 AM
or a device where there is no internet connection like a USB for example.

Yes, but only IF you know and you're actually very sure that you know what you're doing. Your private keys can still be compromised even a USB flashdrive is offline, if you manage to mess something up when you're on the process of generating the keys and saving it to the USB flashdrive on your computer.
12548  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: No need to look for Exchanges anymore. on: April 07, 2019, 03:46:46 PM
That's a no for me dawg. Using this instant exchange feature, fees will be higher. I'd rather spend a bit of effort to get better deals and to be able to set my own offers on exchanges.

And yes, wouldn't be surprised if AML/KYC is suddenly needed.

I haven't heard of either of the other two. Trezor should stick to coin storage and not endorse anything that could potentially fuck their customers.
I completely agree. But this is definitely a smart move for them in a business perspective. The potential money they could make from this is quite high.
12549  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Crypto news Sources on: April 07, 2019, 09:38:15 AM
Another source I knew is Reddit. Like what hugeblack said, go to r/bitcoin. But aside from that, here are some of the subreddits I folow:
r/CryptoCurrency
r/BitcoinMarkets
r/BitcoinMining

This. Just use Reddit. Most of the actually relevant news would be posted there, so you could filter out the more sort of irrelevant ones. One advantage, is you can read discussions about certain news too; and also, you can look for individual groups or "subreddits" if you want to follow certain cryptocurrencies instead. Like r/ethereum, r/litecoin, and so on.
12550  Other / Meta / Re: The forum is slowly changing on: April 07, 2019, 02:16:51 AM
One of the changes I have noticed is the less traffic here. As soon as the market went crashing in 2018 and Bitcoin paying campaigns got affected and dried up, a lot of forum members went on the sidelines and occasionally visit here now.
Yep. This makes Bitcointalk pretty much almost "seasonal". I really expect traffic to go back to how it was before, or even higher, as bitcoin's price goes back up. Back in late 2017, every time I visit the Bitcoin Discussion forum, there are always new topics being made.

Again, the Merit system has also helped to curtail account farming. I should think we have less of shit posting now than a few years ago.
In this case I think it's a good thing even if traffic got lower. Quality over quantity all day.
12551  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We Need to start Mentioning Price in Satoshis on: April 06, 2019, 11:31:07 AM
Prices where? No sane merchant would list prices in satoshis due to price volatility(besides BTC-specific sites) and due to USD obviously being the most adopted currency.

Just a thought: Imagine how much more money would come in to bitcoin compared to other coins/tokens if bitcoin was listed on Coinmarketcap and other price listing sites as Satoshis instead of bitcoins. I've read a few times in the past that people were investing in XRP instead of bitcoin because XRP had a lower price, without them taking into consideration the supply held by Ripple Labs and the rotating supply. Like LOL.
12552  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase Pro is blank on: April 06, 2019, 08:08:03 AM
The problems seems to be on your side. Works fine for me as well. https://pro.coinbase.com

Try opening Coinbase Pro on other browsers for us to find out if it's an issue concerning your browser or not. Though it's working for me on Brave, Firefox, and Chrome.
12553  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can anyone Help me track my bitcoin transaction on: April 06, 2019, 06:27:43 AM
First off, the bitcoins was sent to my account within Bitblender. the wallet address is:
37yEJ2hY4XevMfT97yMsmyLEt1D969FJGJ

I checked and the bitcoins are still in limbo.

Do a doublecheck on your bitcoin wallet whereas the bitcoin should come from, as it looks like the bitcoins hasn't left your wallet in the first place. What wallet are you using by the way? Please give us as much information as you can for us to be able to suggest solutions accordingly.
12554  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can anyone Help me track my bitcoin transaction on: April 06, 2019, 03:03:37 AM
You asks for help to track your transaction but you do not give the detail of the transaction, how could you expect to get some helps from the community?
You will only see some speculation if you do not give the details of your issue but I believe it is something related to your transaction fee that makes your transaction is not yet confirmed.

I'm going to assume that OP isn't that knowledgeable in bitcoin in general, probably just a casual user, and is using a custodial wallet(probably Coinbase) hence the lack of information(tx ids and such).

OP has been active since minutes ago and hasn't replied to this topic so I assume the transaction already went through and the problem is resolved.
12555  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can anyone Help me track my bitcoin transaction on: April 06, 2019, 01:21:12 AM
It's probably your first time sending a transaction in a congested mempool. We had like around 60k unconfirmed transactions like yesterday. Your transaction might be confirmed in a while, depending on what sats/b fee you used. Mempool is fine as we speak though, so your transaction might be confirmed already; again, depending on the fee you've chosen.
12556  Other / Meta / Re: The forum is slowly changing on: April 05, 2019, 05:18:37 PM
Alt coins seem to be sorting themselves out as well. I read that 98% of the alt are fraudulent rubbish, but that leaves 2% that we should be analysing, and using. It would be good to discuss these, as I don't know too much about them.

The scams and the most shitty ones are definitely dying out slowly but surely, but yea, some are still up and even on the top 15 unfortunately(I'm looking at you, Tron). They're still getting so much money from people in the cryptocurrency space for some reason. I actually thought that these would die out in the bear market. I was definitely underestimating the ignorance of a lot of people.

Regardless, we should really expect that new scams and new shitty ones are going to arise on the next bull market though. I don't see them going away anytime soon.
12557  Other / Meta / Re: Why don't we have a point system for bad posts? on: April 05, 2019, 04:51:21 PM
The merit system is not for posts you agree with. It is for posts that are objectively high quality, or to otherwise draw attention to the post because it deserves reading.

Well, you're right. And people should definitely use merits in that way. But it isn't really farfetched to think that people are using it as a sort of "like" or "upvote" system. I mean, I've seen a decent number of sort of "meme" replies that has been given merits. But yea, this is the reason why I think a de-merit system wouldn't work and could potentially be abused.
Yes, some people use the merit system in ways in which it is not intended, unfortunately. I don’t think that is a good reason to create a new system (or add features to the existing system) that cause people to use the merit system in a way that it isn’t intended in greater numbers. If anything, changes should be made to disincentive the use of merit as a “like”/“agree” system; I am not sure this is possible though.

I really don't think it would work well either. In addition to the point I've made, there aren't clear rules on merits in the first place. I think having a sort of de-merit system is just going to make things worse. People de-meriting posts that they simply disagree on, but not necessarily useless.

Anyway, I think I'm fine with how the forum merit and trust system works for now. Let's just see what more features the new EpochTalk forum will bring.
12558  Other / Meta / Re: The forum is slowly changing on: April 05, 2019, 04:22:57 PM
The saddest change for me is a reduction in the activities of some of the quality long term members.

Bitcoin is so important in the new world economies, that we need to retain these members, and to attract some more senior industry personalities.

It makes me quite a bit curious how some of the sort of more reputable names I've been seeing in the past(2017-ish) went away with the bear market. I mean, these reputable and more-knowledgeable people are probably the last people we would expect to leave in a crashing market.

Sometimes you just come across posts that are bad enough, that you just wish you could do something.
This is what the report to moderator button is for.

Well, occasionally, there would definitely be some posts that aren't necessarily report-worthy, but you simply just disagree on; especially for the more debatable and more controversial topics(like the big/small blocks topic). But yea, I don't think a sort of de-merit system would work. I'd just prefer that people would school/call-out the craptalkers. We all know how easily a sort of downvote system can be abused, as evident on Reddit.
