Yeah ive used them both, what i meant was lets say i wanted to buy GAS...is it best to buy Ethereum and convert or litecoin and convert?
I believe that Litecoin has better fees. So you can buy LTC with Coinbase, send them to an exchange such as Binance, sell the LTC for BTC and buy your GAS. |

I don't think there is anything you can do. I have seen people claiming that Coinbase doesn't return Bitcoins sent to a Bitcoin Cash address and vice versa. Send them a support ticket[1] and wait for an answer (it can take some time). But they will probably just tell you what I said above.

Are they supporting it already? If I'll start to send some now it will only cost 0.00021924 BTC ($2.87). For those people that are stuck and did never send any bitcoin because of the high fees I guess it's now your chance of sending. The fees went down already to blockchain so take it already and send your bitcoins to your proper receivers and as for checking https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ fastest and cheapest fee is 490 satoshis/byte. No. They said that they will support it in Q1 2018. Also, you shouldn't blindly use the fees recommended by Earn.com; Instead, I prefer to use this website[1]. Yesterday, while Earn was suggesting ~400 sat/byte fees, I saw that there transactions of 100 were getting cleared, so I sent a tx with a fee of 180 sat/byte and it got confirmed in fucking 21 seconds (the next block). P.S: I could have used an even lower fee but I was in a hurry and didn't want to risk it. [1] https://dedi.jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/more/#24h |

Why is this being reposted? This post looks exactly to the old one which was (probably) deleted. Anyways, that's what I said before: ConfirmTX is a scam and those Bitcointalk Helpers are just Newbies begging for tips.
I have my doubts about ConfirmTX. The message says "Last Block Found: 4 minutes ago by SlushPool" since a few weeks now which means It's static and probably manually changed by the owner who by the way didn't connect since one month now. I have tried submitting my transaction and even though I received a message saying that my transaction was successfully sent, nothing happened days later.
It should already be clear to anyone with half a brain that ConfirmTX is a scam. |

From where did you get that link from? The first "S" and the "T" from your link are special characters. Take a look:  There is a something like a dot above it. That's why you can't open the website and it's blocked by Google as a "phising" attempt. |

so its just stored like any other ECR20 token on same ETH address ?
I don't know as I'm not following this fork. If it's a ERC20 token, you will receive them in your address in the ETH chain. If it's a fork (like what happened with ETC), your address will have the same amount of coins in both chains (the normal ETH and this ETZ), so you will need to export your private-key and import it into a ETZ wallet to spend them. |

what happens with Ethereum goes through the next fork on 19th Jan ? Ethereum Zero apparently will the byproduct and if you hold 1 ETH you are apparently getting same amount of ETZ
Currently Exodus doesnt have ETC obviously so where will I get my coins if I am holding ETH in Exodus ?
thanks
You can do the same as described above. Just export your Ethereum private key and import it in a supported wallet. The ETZ is stored in the address and not in the wallet software itself. |

It's not possible as you will need to make an on-chain transaction and pay its fees.

That's real nice I like!!!! So they have their own presence here to answer questions directly? Coinbase do that also? This is a pretty cool site I'm glad I found it!!!!
No. This user has nothing to do with Binance. Pay attention to his links and you will see that he just created the thread to grab some referrals and earn the 50% comission Binance offers. And I am returning 40% back to the user. Read the thread. Never said you weren't. Just said that you don't work for Binance and want referrals (which is true). Read the post. |

i have/want spectrecoin (xspec), Leviarcoin (xlc), Railblocks (XRB) , Cardano (ADA), Xtrabytes (XBY) , PosToken (POS), Shift (shift), Blockpool (BPL), Obsidian (ODN)
which of them is maybe not 100% legit? Thx.
I can't really say. From your list, I only know (and trust) XRB and ADA. But if the coin has an active community and an actually good project, it shouldn't be an issue (for most of the time). Just don't download the wallet for those random coins that are a complete copy from another with just a few different variables and a random developer. Do you use various pc, or virtual machine ?
can you run a virtual machine on mac or better on windows pc?
Running a Virtual Machine is way easier than having the money/space/hardware to manage multiple desktops. So, that's what I suggest (and use). |
|
|
|
|
Yes. You should be concerned.
Use a Virtual Machine or an isolated computer for those coins which wallet can't be trusted and you should be safer.

Well.. In my mind you were talking about something, then I read the post again and though it was actually something completely different and deleted my post because I was totally "off topic". But looks like I was kinda right  Here it is the video for those having the same issue in the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umsIy1ks8vg |

No one can know the future, so we can't say anything for sure. But for now, having the 24 words seed is everything you need to recover your wallet with or without a new device. I'm asking because I just bought a Ledger Nano S, and I want to store a few coins in there and then wander off to Nepal/Tibet/India and become an itinerant monk. But in case I ever want to come back (let's say 20 or 40 years in the future), I want to be able to retrieve my old coins, which might be worth a lot by then.
Wow! That's actually pretty cool. But could I also recover the wallet if there were no more ledger devices on the planet? (Highly unlikely, but I still want to know)
Yes. You can import your Ledger wallet into any software that has support for BIP 39/BIP 44 seeds. So having a Ledger device isn't necessary. Or would it be better/safer to find out what the private key of the wallet is (I read there are applications that tell you the private key when you provide the 24 words and the passphrase) and store that on paper and different USB-Sticks (and give that to friends/family)? Or would that be unnecessary?
For now, this isn't necessary. But as I said, no one predict say what will happen in 20-30 years, right?  If in the future, there is still a way to get your private-keys derived from the seed, you won't need to do that. But if for any reason (I can't think of any), that's not possible anymore, then having the private-keys will save you. In the end, it's up to you to decide if you want to manually get your private-keys and save them in a different paper/flash drive. |

Shapeshift.com is actually legit and will redirect you to the .io domain. Are you sure that's the fake website you are talking about?

And I am really shocked about those many advices without asking, why a newbie here wants to "clean" money.
Well... that's none of your business, right?  Another way to clean your BTC is to deposit it to an exchange and trade it for an anonymous cryptocurrency and send that to another exchange and use it to buy back BTC. Then withdraw them to another BTC address. Its what most people are doing these days.
That's not always the best way. I'm pretty sure that all exchanges keep logs of its users (including deposits, withdrawals and IP's). If the exchang wants, they can easily link the transaction to the user who made them and where it came from. |

Thank you everyone for your help.
TryNinja, for sending me the link which solved my problem, please send me your BCH address so I can ping you over a few as a thank you.
Thank you so much! That's very nice of you  1NinjabXd5znM5zgTcmxDVzH4w3nbaY16L |

Don't worry! This is your Bitcoin Cash and has nothing to do with Bitconnect. The Electron Cash version you downloaded (which was necessary for this method) was released when the Bitcoin Cash community was deciding between the ticker BCH and BCC (which is BCH now).
BTW, 1000 mBCC = 1 BCC. You can change the display to BCC by going to Tools -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Change "Base Unit" to BCC. |
