Yeah, they call it "Coinbase Custody", it was first announce about 3 months ago. I'm not sure what it is but from a short description I guess it's something like an online wallet.
Until they officially announce trading in XRP, there is no reason for hype.

Shouldn't you edit your first post though? I was also ready to give him a merit but then I noticed the answers bellow your first post... most people probably read the first post and maybe the last page though!

And hey, one more good that came out of it: I learnt the meaning of the word "plagiarist"! Even though I'm not a native English speaker, it's very rare for me to encounter English words I didn't know. Thanks for that!

Today, as I was going through the daily spam once again, I was wondering why new accounts are created and spam with 0 merit since they won't get signature payments anyway; and then an idea came to me!
I went through most of the pages of this thread and I didn't find my idea suggested by anyone else, only something close which I'd like to improve on. The similar idea is mentioned bellow,


I figured that there are two possible reasons people create new accounts and increase their postcount with spam even though with 0 merit they won't get paid for signatures,

• Either they don't know that without merit they won't receive any payments from signature bounties. Most of the spammers obviously don't know English and don't research the forums at all.
• Or they're planning to trade merit after they've reached enough posts.

Proposed solution for case (A),
As mentioned by Theymos, a newbie welcome message explaining the rules guides etc. But because spammers won't bother reading them, force them into answering a quiz before they're allowed to post. The quiz could select 5 random questions from a pool of about 20-30 questions. It has to be multiple choice and it has to punish wrong answer with a time limit before they can answer again. Every time they fail to answer all questions correctly, they have to wait 1 hour for one wrong answer and up to 24 hours for 5 wrong answers. Every time they retry the quiz the questions will be shuffled and randomised so that they won't get the same questions every time. One of the questions will always be about the merit system, something that will force them to understand that without quality posting most campaign managers won't reward them.

Proposed solution for case (B),
This is something that the community must help to eradicate. Most, if not all, bounty managers require not only high rank but also not negative trust. If we give negative trust to spammers even if they have 0 merits we safeguard that the person behind this account won't start posting normally after 500 spam-posts, buy merit and then sell the account or farm campaigns with it. But right now the trust most of us give have no value. I noticed Theymos proposed a change to the DT (DefaultTrust) system so I have hopes that this might be improved in the near future.

Sorry for the long post, I hope I managed to keep everything simple and easy to understand.
I also hope you read my post even though I use a paid signature too and you didn't automatically qualify me for a spammer!

You could answer him with a blank text, your avatar image would suffice for an answer!
Btw check his history, he's either a bot or a person who doesn't know English and for whatever reason he spams... why do people even do that? Did anyone tell them they can make money here by spamming but forgot to mention the merit system? Then again they might be spamming to boost their post count and then merit-trade.... whatever the case I'm sick of these guys, I think I'll start giving them negative trust in case they merit-trade in the future!

This is very strange and I feel like it's not something to do with cookies. Could you be using an addon for Chrome or Firefox (whichever browser you're using when you get that problem) which for some reason confuses the HTML code of Kraken with something else and anchors its chart on the Kraken's page?

It's 100% sure though that this problem doesn't have to do with Kraken itself, it's something that could happen with any page.

Personally I don't know any other such platform and I'm happy with how this one works. However I feel sad reading people's reviews, makes me realize again why we're stuck on a bear market..so many uninformed people either hating a project or going all crazy and hyped on scams or dead projects.

That's interesting, but as an android user it seems I have it use SoundCloud... And I don't want to! Has anyone listened to the pod? Is it interesting? Is it general subject talk or only about ARK all the time?

This is an unknown Exchange, I doubt people are going to register there to trade.
Because of no volume the price is also laughable!

XRP is very famous in Japan, isn't it? No wonder, those fellows are clever and more open minded than this side of the Earth.
Wouldn't it be funny if unofficially some coins become each the national currency of a country?
Japan = XRP
Korea = BTC (because highly tradable)
China = BCH (because Bitmain's support)
Russia = ETH (because... Vitalik?!)

Is this the first time you're trying to open the wallet or did it work in the past? Also double check that you run the latest wallet version.

The best support is available in the Discord's appropriate channel though (#Wallet-Support)

Please support the 20 series too!!!
Too early to ask, I know, but I just can't wait to get my hands on it!

I was about to call the same problem and first searched the thread to see if anyone else has noted it, then I sow your post but I don't agree with all your points. Illegal use isn't something that's done only in blockchains, if nothing else it's easier to find out here because of the transparency... at least in theory.

First of all, yes BTC is decentralised which makes it almost impossible for one person or one team to come in any kind of negotiation with a government. However a government could potentially PROPOSE something, a rule or a change to the BTC network, then this could be voted by the community to decide if they accept it (and possibly result in a two hardforks ).
Ethereum has a body of representatives though, in their case someone like Patrick Storchenegger (more about him here: https://www.ethereum.org/foundation) would be able to take a first step into making ETH more widely accepted.

Some benefits of promoting BTC to governments would be more news like this: https://coinjournal.net/florida-county-tax-collector-becomes-first-government-agency-to-accept-bitcoin/
In Florida's case, it was up to one person's authority (or at least he proposed it and it probably got accepted) but in most countries things are not as easy as "person A wants X to be done, X is done the next day".

PS: I don't know if Florida is indeed accepting BTC for tax payment right now, not yet or if they may never accepted it after all.

And the biggest amount of the China's dominance is actually in Bitmain's hands. Actually it's not only that most of BTC hashrate is going to Bitmain's pool (I think, I might be wrong), but I'm 100% sure that Bitmain also dominates BTC mining haedware. If they wish they can add a killswitch inside their miners and disabled any miner not in their pools, taking control of almost 99% of BTC.

In the other hand, Ripple controls the biggest amount of coins, not the nodes or the hashrate. Since they own a lot of XRP, they also have the greatest risk, if something goes wrong they'll lose more than anyone else.

So which kind of centralized power do you prefer? Both BTC and XRP are decentralized in the biggest part but also have one centralized aspect, different for each.

Did you read 5 comments above you?
You're probably not seeing the withdraw and deposit buttons on your dashboard, but they only become visible AFTER you've visited the "deposit/withdraw" page once and you've unlocked your account. Wink

Good job buying XVG! You know, this coin has been hacked at least 3 times as far as I can count... one was late 2017 or early 2018. Then twice in April/May. I'm not talking the kind of hack of an exchange losing funds, XVG's were the scary kind of hacks which resulted in huge amount of coins being instantly mined by the hacker. The team had supposingly fixed the issue after the 1st hack but it proved that they did nothing meaningful, the same thing happened again.

More about the hacks and their stance here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3256693.0
The respectable member ocminer had found the issue and reported it to the team, which for me proves XVG's team isn't worth our trust.

Danimore, for your sake, do your research before you invest. Just because some clueless people think XRP is evil it doesn't make it a bad investment. Read more about how XRP works, what real-world problems it solves, why it's one of the safest blockchains and how professional the team behind it is. People on Twitter are not a trustworthy bunch to take investment suggestions from!

Ah I see what you mean. These buttons you're talking about are still available, but they only become visible AFTER you've visited the "deposit/withdraw" page once and you've unlocked your account.

The spammers or bots are getting more stupid every day and my ignore list more full every day!
I wonder if we can use the RTX 20 series cards' AI capabilities to at least make bots that are more clever than the spammers, only then we might have a chance to have meaningful conversations in altcoin ANNs threads!

Are you sure? It seems open to me. You must be doing something wrong, like maybe, having the wallet locked? On the top-right corner is an icon of a "lock", is this locked or unlocked?

Στο άρθρο γράφει "Revenue from own mining operations has fallen from 18.4% of total revenue in 2016 to just 3.3% in Q1 2018."
Άρα ξέρουμε πως η Bitmain κρύβει του λάχιστον ένα 15% των εσόδων της κάνοντας κρυφό mining!!!

Πιστεύει κανείς πως δημιουργούν καινούργια, δυνατά ASIC, τα τεστάρουν λίγο ΑΛΛΑ ΜΟΝΟ ΛΙΓΟ, ΧΩΡΙΣ ΝΑ ΒΓΑΛΟΥΝ ΠΟΛΥ ΚΕΡΔΟΣ... γιατί σκέφτονται πως αν είχαν φάρμες με νέα ASIC που δεν έχουν κυκλοφορήσει στην αγορά θα ισοπέδωναν το δίκτυο τραβώντας μεγάλο ποσοστό των block reward πάνω τους... φυσικά σαν καλή εταιρία που είναι νοιάζεται πρωτίστως για τον διαμοιρασμό του πλούτου σε όλους.

Δεν είναι σοβαρή εταιρία για το χρηματιστήριο η Bitmain, πως την δέχτηκαν;
