Why don't you trade your coins for USDT when you want to leave a coin during a crash? It has the same price of the dollar and can easily be exchanged for BTC / ETH when you want.
For the "real" USD, Bitfinex allow you to deposit Dollars via SWIFT (bank wire transfer) into your account.

Or does coinbase not actually send bitcoin but simply adjust balances internally within their website?
^ This. They are not sending Bitcoin from a address to another. They are simply just changing your balance info on their database to a lower or higher amount when you transfer money. They actually only send Bitcoin through the "real" blockchain when you want to withdraw to another wallet outside their system. |

Did you already tried to import your wallet.aes.json file to a new Blockchain.info account? Looks like you can do it in this page: https://blockchain.info/pt/wallet/import-wallet
Also, are you sure you are typing your words correctly? You should be able to recover your wallet with them on the recover page. |

If you receive many transactions to the same address, if you then send money from that one address you'll pay higher fees. better to use multiple addresses. Thus if you are a merchant or need to receive money always to the same address, you'll basically fucked up...
And how is that different from using multi addresses? What will make you need to pay higher fees is the number of separate transactions you received, inputs and outpus. It doesn't matter that much if you use only one or multiple addresses. In the worst case scenario you will actually end up paying more if you use multiple addresses to receive payments. |

I don't understand what he is doing. Is he sending the Bitcoins back without any fees so it never gets confirmed?
Can't someone just send any amount and use RBF in the "doubled amount" to make the tx get confirmed?

+1 for the great idea.
Obviously the biggest problem would be the acceptance of these gift cards in physical stores around the world. Even if you go to a store in your city and try to make the merchant accept this type of payment, you still have to teach him what Bitcoin is and suffer with problems as the merchant thinking you want to scam him with a card that isn't worth anything.
IMO the best way to achieve global acceptance of your service would be trying to partner with a large e-commerce or a big payment gateway to accept those gift cards as a payment method.
Good luck with your project!

Hmm.. that's odd. I don't see how Electrum could be worst than Copay in the security aspect. It's also strange that in the same website, I see that they say this about Electrum: "Not friendly for newbies, and the reliance on external servers could present security threats." Even that Copay actually relies on a centralized service by default. This means a third party must be trusted to not hide or simulate payments. In the end Electrum > Copay. But you shouldn't worry about using Copay as your wallet. I have used them for a while and it worked well without any problems. Also, I think https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet is a better place to check most pros and cons from all the major wallets. I also checked Electrum even so and I thought the interface is horrible...
And yeah... Electrum's interface is awful. |

Why don't you use Electrum? IMO it's the safer wallet a regular user can use without having to setup a cold storage or buy a hardware wallet.
They let you encrypt you wallet with a password, so you are safe from people opening your wallet without you knowing.
The maximum you can do on Copay is setup a PIN code of 4 digts in the Settings page.

Is this something that is allowed and legitimate?
You are allowed to buy an account, but almost every campaign have strict rules that prohibit a user from entering the same campaign with more than one account. In some cases you will only get kicked, and in others campaigns, attempting to circumvent these rules will result in both accounts receiving a negative trust from a DT user. Also can one user have more than one bitcointalk accounts or it should be avoided?
Yes its allowed. But having more than one can be seen as something shady if you do not publicly disclose that the account is yours. |

Looks neat, but what the heck is it and what does it do? Do you expect people to send bitcoin to the address posted there and then click the button? Do you really expect people to actually do that? And what are they gonna get from it? You should explain it a bit.
Wosh... I don't get why so much hate on this thread. It's clearly just a joke from OP and he isn't asking too much. At least he isn't promising to double anyones money. If you don't want to waste the huge amount of $0.50 from your fortune with something that useless, no one is forcing you to do so.
OP, I actually liked your idea. It's kinda creative and it doesn't take 2 minutes to stop by and donate some cents just to joke about it and increase the number of people's who sent you btc. I will remember to do later  |

ChipMixer, this question just occurred to me and I know i'll appreciate your thoughts...
Is the specific amounts that the chips represent opening risk to tracking of transactions sent for those unique amounts?
You mentioned responding to feedback that 1.024BTC is an odd or perceived-to-be odd amount. This may be true and if there are a few amounts like this that are typical for ChipMxer transactions the possibility for forensic tracking may be born.
Looking forward to getting your thoughts. Thanks.
Yes, this can be a problem. But as you can see, in their recent update they added this feature: - commonized chips - some of you believe that 1.024 BTC chip looks weird and uncommon. We've had a lot of questions about getting more round values. That's why we have created new action for larger chips called "commonize". Using this option you can replace weird 1.024 BTC chip with new, shiny, round 1 BTC. What happens with 0.024 BTC? It gets donated. That's 2% fee. Same % apply for 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 mBTC chips. Done! Problem fixed.  |

I found this on stack exchange: The estimate is 2140 based on the block reward halving frequency of four years. According to math and knowledge that there are 32 halving events, in 2136, the block reward will yield 0.00000168 BTC per day, which is 0.00000042 BTC per block. That's 42 satoshis.
It's arguable that there could be one additional halving, to a block reward of 0.00000021 BTC, but that would require a major protocol modification since the number of Bitcoin would then exceed 21 million. Additionally, to go past that, there'd have to be a protocol modification to extend divisibility past eight decimal places. It is far, far to early to worry about either of these, because we're more than a century away from this problem. https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/10486/when-will-the-last-bitcoin-be-minedhttps://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/8823/how-many-bitcoin-are-mined-per-dayVery far from our friend's date "June 24 2020". |

I will suggest you to check out https://www.cryptocompare.com/wallets/#/overview to see almost each wallet available for every top 20 coins in the market. Zcash
Stratis
Peercoin
From the coins on your list, Coinomi for android will support the ones above. For BAT, I recommend you using MyEtherWallet. If these are not possible or too many separate wallets need to be created I suppose Exchange sites are safe enough, right?
Exchanges will never be a safe place to store your coins. If you can, use a wallet for every coin you want to store. If you don't have any good option, you may do this. But keep in mind that you are always risking all your portfolio by storing them in an exchange. |

What's the purpose of the tool?. Please leave more detail info in your description, reading and trying to figure this tool out will give us tumor.  That's a Crypter used mostly to make any virus, rat and keylogger undetectable from several antivirus. I don't know how OP can say that using it with any malicious tool is not allowed since those tools are very often made especially for this purpose. He even says "scan files only using the built-in scanner", because most file scanners will share their results and samples with other antivirus, making the program more likely to be detected in the future. Generally, antivirus work by splitting source code of application and then search for certain string within source code.
If antivirus detects any certain malicious strings, it either stops the scan or deletes the file as virus from system.
Thus a crypter basically makes an infected file FUD or UD by encrypting it. https://way2h.blogspot.com.br/2013/02/what-is-crypter-how-it-works.html |

https://copay.ioI think Copay is the simplest to use and with a nice friendly interface. I use this method as a safer method of storage to keep big amounts of BTC: 2 signature wallets: 1 - Chrome extension on PC 2 - My Android This way someone needs to break into my two devices to steal my coins.

The better option would be buy a Hardware Wallet like Trezor or Ledger Nano S, but if you don't want to invest money on it, you should generate and print a paper wallet, send your BTC and keep it on a safe place. Here is a quick tutorial on how to do this: http://www.coindesk.com/information/paper-wallet-tutorial/Send a very low amount of BTC to the address, see if arrived and then send all the rest. Only touch on that paper wallet when you want to cashout. That way your Bitcoins will be safe, since your private key info never went through the internet. |

Understand one thing: ALL BITCOIN DOUBLERS ARE A SCAM. No exception. It may be tempting to double your money in a short time of 1 week. But do not even try to participate. And they all work based on those two schemes: Pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme. I would recommend you to read about the two of them and you will see all the similarity that these schemes have with all Bitcoin doublers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_schemehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme |

Nice update from the dev, maybe I will update it later.
But it is much better if they add dynamic fees in making transaction for bitcoin. Because there are issues and instances when sending, they get too huge for a transaction fee since exodus generate the tx fee itself when sending.
I was going to suggest them to do the same since this is the same reason I stopped using Exodus. But after reading their FAQ at http://support.exodus.io/help_center, looks like they are not planning to do so because they say most users of Exodus are 100% new to blockchain assets and not technical. So, users would put a very low fee without the understanding this could cause the transaction to not be delivered. If being able to manually set a low fee is important to you Exodus is not a good software choice and we encourage you to use other bitcoin wallets. The good news is there are a lot of highly technical BTC wallets much better than Exodus in this regard. Electron is awesome for highly technical details like this. With the current market reach of Exodus this will not be a focus for our company anytime soon. Source: http://support.exodus.io/knowledge_base/topics/how-does-exodus-calculate-fees |

The load on the blockchain and the number of transactions. Right now there is only 15k unconfirmed transactions which will probably end up making your fees slightly cheaper. https://blockchain.info/pt/unconfirmed-transactionsAlso, are you talking about the fee recommended for a specific amount you are trying to send or about the overall average fee? Because depending on the size of your tx, the fee can be bigger or lower. What you should use to see if the fees are cheaper or more expensive is the price in satoshi per byte found in in this page: https://bitcoinfees.21.co$0.15 in fees seems cheaper than the normal. Where are you seeing this info? |
