first use the links above given by @tabas and contact support. if you weren't successful then use this: if i am not mistaken blockchain.info has been using BIP32 and their wallet derivation path has always been m/44'/0'/0'. so go to https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ and preferably make an offline copy of the project https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39 and run it on an air-gapped computer with a clean OS. there you can type in your seed words (20 word mnemonic) in the first textbox and from Derivation Path below you can choose BIP32 tab and there in the clients dropdown there is a blockchain.info option. after setting these options you can scroll down to see the list of addresses and private keys belonging to your wallet. p.s. make sure you are not making a spelling mistake in the mnemonic words!

No one forces you to use Bitcoin, so if you believe that an altcoin serves you in a better way, then definitely go for it.
translation: if you dont like core/blockstreams roadmap that has screwed bitcoin.. go F off you call it "F off", i call it a free market where everyone is free to choose whatever they want. i also like Nano and a couple of other coins that i won't name because i don't want to shove it down others throat! and i don't have any delusions about any altcoins and what their shortcomings are... the problem with topics like this is that they almost always are created because of some altcoin advertisement or pump. people naming these coins never even use them outside of exchanges and they still compare them with bitcoin as a currency!

i don't honestly see any grounds for the "lawsuit" against twitter, facebook and google. it actually sounds quite silly to me to even try and sue them because they don't allow your advertisements on their centralized platform! they own those platforms and can accept and reject any kind of ads they want and you can not force them to do otherwise!

whenever people talk about 51% attacks by mining pools they forget two things. first that these are mining "pools" not mining "farms" they don't own all the hashrate, maybe some of it comes from them but the rest is from individual miners that are connecting to them to pool the work. and second is the fact that an attack like that is not something that can go unnoticed, and this attack can ruin bitcoin. a miner who has invested his money in mining equipment does not want to see his investment burn to the ground. they won't allow this to happen! not to mention that you can't easily perform a 51% attack with 51% hashrate, you need a lot more than that. it starts at that level and becomes easy with higher hashrate.

people are always looking for ridiculously huge rises in a very short time. that doesn't make them come true. so of course this is not the rise these people were looking for. but we are not going to always get what we wish for.
for now i am mostly with @thecodebear on this. we have seen a double bottom and lots of dump trying to break the buy supports which all failed. the price is rising and will probably continue rising slowly like this. it may take a while longer than expected to reach back to above $10k levels but this here is seems to be the start of it for now unless something unexpected changes about it.

no offense to any of the following people but i don't understand why we need the following people's PGP signatures. what are they releasing? gavinandresen, MarcoFalke, achow101
maybe it is best to add a new column saying where their Pubkeys are used so people have an idea what projects they are involved with. for example ThomasV is for Electrum.
also the Bitcoin core (the one before last) link is SHA256 checksums. when you verify authenticity with PGP signatures you do not need to check hashes anymore. PGP will cover that and more.

you are witnessing two different things, try not to confuse them together. first one is the speculation of a price drop so traders sell their coins with that in mind. for example when you see signs of a drop and catch a big dump in its early stages with the huge amount of FUD in the media, as a trader you want to sell fast to be able to buy the bottom with the money and make a profit. the second one is the panic sellers who see the drop late and after they hear the FUD in the news. they always come in late and "sell at the bottom" this second type is the wrong one.

no exchange will ever become big until they become registered and regulated so that they become trustworthy because of that. so far all of these existing exchanges that i know of (including Huobi and Binance) are considered high risk even though a lot of traders are using them and even if they have highest volume.

do you know math? if you know it then asking this question is silly! if you can't change X you can change Y and get the same or bigger M.C. X is price and Y is the supply. Market cap = X * Y (MC of BTC) $138,483,107,450 = $8,155.60 * 16,980,125 BTC (MC if SHIT) $138,483,107,450 = X * Y if X is $10 then Y = 13,848,310,745 (13 billion coins) if X is $1 then Y = 138,483,107,450 (138 billion coins) if X is $0.1 then Y = 1,384,831,074,500 (1380 billion coins)
we already have at least 14 altcoins with more than 100 billion circulating coins! and at least 200 coins with more than 1 billion coins. they just have to be pumped to $10 and $1 respectively to overtake bitcoin's market cap! the real question you should be asking is whether you should even care about it?

public doesn't need to understand the technology and how it works completely in order to use it. At this point in time, some degree of knowledge is important to be able to trust it, especially if we're dealing with money. "some degree of knowledge" is only knowing the basics like how to use a wallet and secure it, for example how to buy and use a hardware wallet! the "public" can easily learn that, it is not rocket science at this level. any deeper is not necessary to use it.

I feel like even though the price of Bitcoin has been on the down fall I feel like Bitcoin is so close to becoming the worlds leading currency.
bitcoin stopped being on "the down fall" a couple of weeks ago! and we are not anywhere close to seeing bitcoin as the worlds leading currency, it has the potential for sure but it is far away. Another thing is retailers and their acceptance of bitcoins. If Amazon, Walmart, Target etc. started to accept Bitcoin as a valid currency, the currency would become more stable and attractive to consumers. What do you guys think?
merchants, retailers,... adoption of bitcoin will increase the adoption in general, that is for sure but it won't make bitcoin price stable. the only thing that can make it stable is more trusted exchanges with packed order books instead of current shady/risky ones with thin order books.

BTC.com is the most powerful bitcoin wallet,
this statement is wrong! it doesn't matter who owns it, what features it has or what hashrate bitmain owns, .... in the end you are talking about a web wallet and this type of wallet is always going to be the weakest and least secure wallets among the rest of them.

No! simply because it is not even created yet. we are talking about years in the future which may not even become a possible thing due to political reasons. not to mention the logistics of it! we are talking about a construct (houses) in the middle of ocean. the pictures look pretty in calm sea under the clear sky while sun is shinning but that is not how the sea always looks! the conditions can be brutal even in the safest places.
plus how much does it cost to maintain such a structure every year? keep in mind we are talking about a big structure at sea under constant corrosion in salt water, under constant pressure, different forces, ... so we have a combination of "corrosion and fatigue". who wants to live in a place that can have a catastrophic failure because of stress-corrosion cracking?
another thing that i can't wrap my head around is the dynamic nature of it!

any help ...new version no auto calcultor and convertor no deposit and withdrwal any help
I only logged into Bittrex to see what the new interface looked like and it looked a right mess, maybe I was just used to the old version. Good luck navigating the new look Bittrex, but i gess you'll get used to it. I move over to Binance some time ago, time for a change ? Just my view also. my observation in my few years on cryptocurrency is that most exchanges dont last a while. They just quit or get relaxed and lose customers confidence after some years. After they have made their money from the exchange they seem not to care again about customer and that is the situation of bittrex now. the last time I checked the owners of exchanges make the list of the richest people in crytocurrency. people don't just randomly lose their confidence in an exchange one day! they see things that makes them lose their confidence. for example everyone believed in Bittrex and trusted them but since last year they scammed millions of dollars worth of bitcoin and altcoins from their users from certain countries (which they assured could use their platform) people stopped trusting them. now all these changes are in desperate attempts to make people forget about their scams.

Personally though, I don't really need to look at those TA to come up with my own conclusion. A $1K increased in a matter of hours? Price stuck and fluctuating somewhere between $7800-$8K? If you have been here in this market for about a year, instinct will tell you that we don't need to celebrate and think that their is a imminent bull run in the horizon. I will still be very cautious about this price movement but I will just kept my 'prediction' for now and see how it goes.
this is why these jumps exist actually. many of us are doing the same, for example while price was at $6800 predicting it was impossible, there was no reason for drop and no signs for a rise so most investors stayed out only watching things. as the signs for rise started to show up some of them who were fast or had some alerts set, jumped back in hence the big greed candle. and that is part of the problem with using TA to speculate bitcoin. talking about resistances, etc while things like this happen is impossible. if a small momentum shapes up and price reaches $9k+ we may see a shoot up right over all the numbers they think is "resistance"!

1+ year ago most people didn't even think bitcoin could go to $20,000. in fact if you could see my own comments from end of 2016 my speculation was somewhere around $2000 (1/10 of ATH) based on the rise that was happeneing up to that point.
but that is the thing about adoption, it is not a linear thing it happens exponentially which finally will share an S curve. it is slow at first and then speeds up and finally it will nearly jump up. so we will see $100k-$200k by 2022 or maybe even sooner by 2020.

Jan 2018 - George Soros: "Bitcoin is a bubble" Apr 2018 - "George Soros Is Getting into Cryptocurrencies"
i have a problem with the dates! if the first one was in December instead of January i would have agreed and it had nothing to do with being a "crypto skeptic", it was a bitter truth. in January price was $10k and by the end of it price reached the bottom. and i wouldn't personally consider anything in this range specially below $10k to be anywhere near the bubble. bitcoin was in a bubble at $20k but it was corrected long before this comment in Jan! also i should mention that all these big players have been investing in bitcoin a long time ago. this is not a new thing really. and to be honest i wouldn't be surprised at all if i found out people like Soros, Buttef,... own coins from 2009-2010. that is what millionaires do, they can't dump all their money in bitcoin in one day, it takes years for them to park it in bitcoin.

it is very hard to predict the price in short term sometimes but there are a lot of signs that show this current price has a pretty good buy support and unless we hear some unexpected news we can expect this to be the start of the real rise to come which makes investing in bitcoin right now a less risky with a good reward investment.

altcoin pump and dumps have been going on from the start, it is because mainly they realized that since bitcoin market has grown so big that they couldn't manipulate it easily and as effectively, so they decided to create altcoins and do it there. now we are left with thousands of them that are getting pumped and dumped every day. but none of it has anything to do with bitcoin and is no reason for losing confidence in bitcoin!

it depends on what you heard! regulations are coming in every country without an exception. but they differ from each other. for example in Japan bitcoin is considered a currency so the regulations are according to that, in US it is a commodity so it is different, in Bangladesh it is illegal so it is different there too!
and by the way "Virtual Money" is not technically correct because there is nothing virtual about bitcoin. the correct term is "Crypto Currency".
