I agree with you to an extent, but I personally wouldn't go as far as banning the user. Maybe something smaller like mute the user for 24hrs, then longer duration of penalty if he/she ever did the same offense.
I usually don't like calling out a website/person without an explanation or sources as well. But sometimes some websites and or ICOs just has too many red flags, being so obvious that it's a scam that I wouldn't need to give any explanation why. But yea, having an explanation why is still always better especially so the less-informed can know why.

What's the transaction fee you chose? and better yet, can you link us to the transaction? I wouldn't blame them on needing 30 confirmations though, for safety and security purposes. But yea, 30 confirmations is so overkill. Transaction fees are still a lot longer and expensive compared to what we had a year ago, but at least it looks like we're making progress. We currently have a total of 8440 Unconfirmed Transactions, compared to months ago whereas we had hundred thousand unconfirmed transactions.

My unprofessional opinion:
Should you invest right now? It depends. How long are you willing to hold? If you're in it for the long term, buying now will definitely be fine, since in theory bitcoin should continue to rise as difficulty and demand increases, while supply decreases. If you're in it for the short term though, I'd personally buy right now since the price just recently dipped a week ago, also we're not currently on the all-time-high so I think buying now should be ok. I'm expecting bitcoin to reach back to almost $5000 soon. hopefully.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but if you couldn't find an escrow platform, try asking out on OpenBazaar's slack channel: http://slack.openbazaar.org/Maybe the mods/admins might be willing to help you out in finding an arbitrator. Then again, I'm not guaranteeing that they're gonna help you. Just giving you a heads up if ever you still couldn't find what you're looking for after a few weeks/months.

My picks: Bitcoin on Android | Copay, Mycelium Bitcoin on Windows | Copay, Electrum Bitcoin on iOS | Breadwallet
Ethereum | myetherwallet.com
But if you want a wallet that can store all of them, go with Exodus.io and download the wallet. It supports a good number of altcoins and tokens. Good move on purchasing a Ledger Nano S by the way. Best of luck.

Give us more information. Are you begging for bitcoin? or are you only asking if anyone knows a bitcoin holder who likes donating to good causes/charities and such? You mean someone who loves to give to charity? I gave some BTC to Pirate Bay a few times. Good for you man. I would've donated to them if I was wealthy enough.

Sell it on exchanges like gdax.com or kraken.com if you want to sell your bitcoin for your preferred price. It might be overwhelming for you though if you're a beginner, since you'd have to deal with graphs, charts, and stuff. Want the easy way to sell it? Probably go with coinbase. Here in my country there is a partner called Coins.ph You can buy and sell Bitcoins too easily. And you can get it instant. But I know it's only possible with Filipino Users. Just knowing I'm not sure. But there are others that can be done in coinsbase so you can also try the coinsbase. It is likewise similar to coins.ph
True. It's definitely easy to use, but the fees are enormous. I personally would only use it to buy mobile load, and if I'm in a rush.

I have never experienced a problem with my wallet security (not wallet paper). as long as you use 2fa in my opinion, your account / your wallet will be fine.
Tell that to all the people that lost coin at the exchanges and wallet sites that got hacked. I lost quite a lot (to me) at Cryptsy, a little dust at Inputs.io and got lucky that there was nothing in my Mt. Gox or BTC-e accounts. A way bigger threat are actually the exchanges itself. You can use a strong password, 2FA etc etc. but all this doesn't matter when the operators of the exchanges itself are robbing you ... and you can't do anything about that, when you are a regular trader. Can you explain in more detail how the operators of the exchanges are "robbing" you? If you're talking about the fees, then guess what: exchanges are also businesses, which are put up to make profit. You expect a company to spend thousands and thousands of dollars for their website and the huge database, employees, etc and put up their site without fees? Come on now.

Fuck! I wish I didn't spend BTC on: purchasing a good number on steam games. This was around a year ago, so yea, the price of bitcoin was significantly lower back then. Though I don't completely regret it, since I don't think bitcoin would actually grow if people would only hold it, and not spend it online, which is what it's made for in the first place. It seems like people nowadays only see bitcoin as an investment and not a cash/payment system. Oh no! There is a bright side to all this though. If we HAD NOT bought these things with BTC, we would have not been helping BTC become more mainstream. The fact that we all bought goods or services with it helped it become a more accepted currency and bring it to where we are at today. Definitely. So it was only regret on a minimal extent. I regret it more for the fact that I bought some games that I haven't even played right now LOL. And yea, if Steam users didn't actually use the bitcoin payment option since they implemented that option, Steam would have probably the bitcoin payment option already. Well done to me I guess?

Can you atleast give more information about your group? We've had enough pump & dump groups here. what is group, you want create dump and pump group, or give signal how much accurate, because if not accurate only you can get advantage and get much profit
There is no such thing as "accurate" or "inaccurate" on pump and dump schemes. As long as the group owner convinces a good number it's members to buy a certain cryptocurrency, the price will definitely go up. That's why they're called pump and dump groups, and not cryptocurrency price predictors; because that's what they do. They pump the prices.

You just said it yourself. If experienced traders have a sort of "secret" technique, why would they reveal these secrets if people will know about it? You don't need "secret trading techniques" to profit from trading. You just need to follow some of the most common trading advice: 1. Never ever panic buy/panic sell. 2. Don't join pump & dump schemes. 3. It's almost always a bad idea to buy on all-time-highs. 4. Be patient. " FUCK. NEO's price dropped by $2! SELL!!" no. just no. 5. Don't go all in on one cryptocurrency. Diversify. Simple eh? Nope. These things are easier said than done.

I definitely wouldn't want to look suspicious. This might come of as a turnoff for innocent people wanting to use mixers. Because only a criminal would want some privacy. I get what you mean. But what I was trying to say is that non-criminals would probably stay away from mixers because of the fear of being suspicious to the feds or whatever government entity. Anyway, maybe I'm just overly paranoid and overthinking stuff . Non criminals staying away based on your position will give credence to the misconception that mixing services is meant for criminals alone but that will be wrong even if I not been a criminal but value my privacy uses mixing services even if feds comes after me, they would probably do some investigation into my activities before coming at me and if they found nothing incriminating will they still go ahead and also I have not read anywhere that its illegal to send my coins to a mixing service. You all provided good counterarguments for what I said, so kudos to you guys. I was just pointing out what might be the misconception and or what reasons a casual bitcoin holder/user might have on why they would possible stay away from mixers because of some of the reasons I pointed out. Cheers.

Some sources are just trying to spread fud. I've seen multiple articles saying bitcoin is banned in China now But I don't believe the government has setup this plan to buy "cheap" bitcoins lol. Alot of FUD, yea, but I think this time people are spreading too much ignorance. China banned ICOs, but people are reacting as if China banned blockchain technology or cryptocurrencies in general, it's surreal. It just shows how much people invested in the crypto-economy are totally ignorant on what is happening to the crypto space. If anything else, I actually think the Chinese government is doing us a favor here. Most ICOs are just cashgrabs and scams anyway. It's funny how the Chinese government has to make the move to prevent ignorant investors from investing on shitcoins.

Personally use Tether USD. You want to compare to something less volatile otherwise you can lose with fluctuation.
I actually don't like Tether at all. at first sight it seems the most convenient but when you pay more attention to its details you can clearly see that using USDT is adding an additional risk to your investment. it is not decentralized like cryptocurrencies so you can't really use it freely, also it is not promised to stay at $1 and a simple swing can mean a huge loss on your part which nobody covers or cares. for example we saw the big dip that it had when bitfinex was hacked last year. This. Tether has been very shady eversince. The thing is, tether is not actually backed by anything. It's completely stated on Tether's TOS: "There is no contractual right or other right or legal claim against us to redeem or exchange your Tethers for money. We do not guarantee any right of redemption or exchange of Tethers by us for money." Also, like last week, $25,000,000 worth of tethers are generated. They're simply just creating tether out of thin air. Sketchy af. I personally only use tether(USDT) when making quick trades. I'm definitely not keeping them for more than a few days. Here's an interesting read on Tether(USDT): https://hackernoon.com/the-curious-tale-of-tethers-6b0031eead87

no.1 Genesis-mining since yr 2014 Always make sure to completely read the main post before commenting: Is there any legit bitcoin mining site? where i can mining without any invest. I am new in mining so please suggest some legit mining site.
But yea if I would go cloud mining(even though I never will), I'd probably with genesis mining. Just because there's proof that they actually have a datacenter and graphics cards firing up for mining. Unfortunately cloud mining is far from profitable unless you have alot of referrals.
