^ The same as gentlemand. Use OTP instead of SMS 2FA.

As he said, you can use Google Authenticator, but in case you don't want to keep saving your secret codes or QR everytime you enable 2FA in a new service and can afford to buy an android app, I recommend you using Authenticator Plus that lets you backup all your 2FA accounts easily.

There is also other alternatives like FreeOTP which is free and IMO still better than Google Authenticator, or Authy which also has cloud backup but makes your 2FA less safer.

You do not need to use any exchange if you don't want too. But do you think that the ecosystem of Bitcoin and the altcoins would be that big if there were no exchanges like we have today? We would have more people being scammed while trying to do P2P exchanges and the market of small altcoins would practically be nonexistent.

About Bittrex, I've been using them and other exchanges for a while and I've never had any issues. Did you even deposited anything there? If so, how much?

Yes. They posted this in the NOTICES tab:

"To meet the increasing demands on support staff, the Trollbox has been disabled indefinitely and moderators have been reallocated to assist in support."

Which is something good because their support is very bad and they take days to answer a simple support ticket, while the trollbox is most used to overhype coins and pump shitcoins. I'm sure I'm not gonna miss it.

No. You are not late for the party. We are just beginning and the price will rise a lot more in the future. Just imagine the amount of people who asked if they were late when the price was at $500 or even $1000. So, just do it and you won't regret!

In my case, I always buy Bitcoin when I can spent some money on it. There are a few coins you can also join in if you are confident and can afford some extra risks. Just make sure to make your own research before investing a big amount of cash on those coins. If you want my personal opinion, some of the altcoins I think have some future are Decred, Ethereum and maybe Litecoin if you think it will end up following Bitcoin price.

Depends on how much you want to invest. If you can't just dump a lot of cash for BTC, I guess it's ok to buy small amounts from time to time until you get at least one whole coin.

Of course. And I tend to buy more when I can and have some extra money spared.

It is rather difficult to pinpoint one’s reasoning behind these attacks. If smart contracts were embraced on a large scale in the bitcoin ecosystem, one could argue the contract has gone awry. Even though smart contracts in bitcoin have been available for some time, they are not commonly used. The only logical explanation seems to be how someone – or a group of people – are purposefully creating a spam attack. The bigger question is how long this attack will last.

The only winners right now are the bitcoin miners. With more transaction fees being produced, miners make slightly more money. It appears someone will gladly let miners earn a lot more money, although no one knows for sure why that would be the case. We can only hope this attack relents sooner rather than later, so things can go back to normal.

I constantly come across posts on the same subject and almost never see Decred being mentioned for some reason I do not know. But IMO Decred has a lot of future potential ahead.

"Secondly, many cryptocurrencies use either pure PoW or pure PoS (check out this video for a clear explanation of the two). The challenges with using pure PoW are that, over time, miners have an outsized influence over the blocks that get mined, which can be used to gain consensus and to censor transactions. The main challenge with pure PoS is that early holders of the currency end up owning everything by merit of passive income on their coins. Decred will create a hybrid of the two systems. This way, a balance between miners and currency holders (voters) can be achieved, which will create system of community-based governance." - https://decreddiscovery.blogspot.com.br/2016/02/what-makes-decred-different.html

Sounds familiar?

In this case you should just contact their support at their email support@trezor.io with your tx and details.

I'm sure the user above tought you were talking about a Bitcoin transaction involving a Trezor wallet you already own and not the purchase of the Trezor device itself.

They can try but they won't succeed simple because the way Bitcoin works, no one can fully control the technology ever. What they may end up doing is creating taxes and laws on the sale and exchange of cryptocurrencies, making the technology more complicated for the average user.

Nothing so serious since we always have P2P as an alternative.

But If they somehow took full control over the whole majority of the hash power, I think people would just quit and the coin would die as it would lose all its purpose of being free of full control of one individual.

Someone actually quoted OP's post so you could try to delete the post but it would not make too much difference.

Maybe if you own this account aswell. 

That is what our gigantic community is for. There have been cases in which the community of a cryptocurrency has mobilized to raise money for some cause for the sake of currency.

As I said in my previous comment, we do not deserve users who only think about their own profit and do not care about the growth of the currency itself if it is not in exchange for more money.

Wtf? Why do you need to control something to be able to advertise it? If you really support Bitcoin and want the coin to become mainstream how would you be so selfish to "only spend your money if you will directly earn something from that"? No one from the Bitcoin ecosystem owns the technology but they still spend their time and dedicate their lives to make Bitcoin better.

That's just dumb. Do something for Bitcoin because you want it to succeed and not because you want more profit.

There is a free android app called Blockfolio (http://blockfolio.com) that allows you to track the value and amount you have of more than 800 cryptocurrencies available in the market.

E.g: You bought 20 ETH. After every price change they will notify you how much you profited or lost.

If you want to support Bitcoin then just run a node in your Raspberry Pi. Preferably a UASF node.

Here is a quick tutorial: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6d16th/simplified_explanation_for_setting_up_a_uasf_full/

Or if you also have extra storage available and want some cash, check out Storj: https://storj.io

IMO this would be ok because he wouldn't just dump his coins and end up killing his creation.

The real problem would be if the community start doubting if its really Satoshi or just someone that somehow got hold of his private keys. Maybe then, we could see some dumping because of the fear of a huge sell from this individual.

And why would they do that? Its not like they profit from users paying higher fees. More like the opposite.

Higher fees = Less tx per users to avoid losing money or users moving to another wallet.

Also, I only see the recommended fee going up every day with the constant increase of unconfirmed tx and not the opposite.

They actually profit from fees not ads at all. Every exchange charges fees for everytime you buy or sell.

E.g: localbitcoins takes 0,5% of every amount you sell/buy
https://localbitcoins.com/fees

Now imagine other bitcoin-altcoins exchanges like Poloniex who has a huge volume of BTC every day, charging 0.5% for every transaction you make. $$$

Yes. You will be securing your Tokens the same you are with your Bitcoins and Ethereum. And I don't think there is any downsides. Only if you can think of a problem when storing your coins in a Hardware Wallet.

Yes. You can add custom tokens not available by default.

I stopped using this wallet when I couldn't manage to set my own custom fees.

From time to time I receive some dust amounts of BTC and because of that, I end up having to pay a lot on fees when I want to move my money to another wallet. To avoid paying 50% of the value in fees because of the large number of inputs, I occasionally send all my Bitcoins to another address with a very low fee to make them one big output to be used in my new address.

And that is the problem... I can't do that on Exodus because I can't customize my fees to be lower than the recommended.

Make this feature available on Exodus and I will make sure to use your wallet.

Yes, you can. As you can see at the same Trezor's blog post you linked:

"To receive ERC-20 tokens, use your Ethereum address generated by TREZOR. To send your tokens, unlock your Ethereum wallet on MyEtherWallet and fill in the transaction details, as well as the token type. Remember, that you will need to own some ethers on the same account in order to successfully pay for the transaction."
