17701  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: HELP!! - electrum transaction issue - unconfirmed for days on: May 15, 2017, 04:50:46 AM
the time was because they only accept 100 transactions per hour and the current round is full (submission beyond limit) so you'll have to wait for the next round which will start in 10 minutes (9 min 15 seconds from this comment's timestamp)  Wink

edit: i successfully submitted your transaction Grin
now all you have to do is wait until ViaBTC finds a block, it may take an hour.
17702  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Need help switching from MultibitHD to Electrum. How to do it? on: May 15, 2017, 04:48:27 AM
a standard MultiBit HD wallet is BIP32 compatible although they have had some bugs with their compatibility with other implementations.
try importing your seed in Electrum and see if it understands it (i have never tried it so i can not confirm). if it did then you are good to go.

you can always use this https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/49428 (save a copy and use it offline) to get the private keys from your seed and then import them into Electrum.

but the best course of action is generating a new wallet in electrum and transferring funds from your old wallet to this new wallet by spending them (send from old to new).
17703  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: HELP!! - electrum transaction issue - unconfirmed for days on: May 15, 2017, 04:31:38 AM
for now use https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ to try and accelerate your transaction. if you do it exactly in 29 minutes from creating this post you can get it through their service.

also (take a backup from your seed if you don't have it already) and upgrade your wallet to the latest version. next time try to use the fee slider to include a higher more appropriate fee that the wallet suggests.

C-Cex API does not allow you to withdraw, it doesn't have that option.
you can check it out here: https://c-cex.com/?id=api

i must say what you want is not such a good idea, and it is not safe either. it is best if you use your own wallet and do the withdrawals that way. using an exchange like this to pay your customer can cause a lot of trouble, for example a couple of days ago they had a 30+ hour long maintenance for their bitcoin wallet which means no withdrawal for your customers!
or their site may go down for maintenance, and a lot of other trouble.
17705  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Poloniex level 2 verification takes 2 months on: May 15, 2017, 04:11:21 AM
if it wasn't verified yet, it won't be for a long time either. there currently are a lot of problems on poloniex and i am sure they are getting at least a thousand tickets per day of pissed off people who lost money, lost their balance, and a lot more problems.
the only thing you can do is wait or move on to another service.
17706  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin & privacy on: May 15, 2017, 04:02:31 AM
when you are using fiat deposits then you have to "jump through hoops", they do this to protect themselves from getting scammed and also to follow the money laundering laws. if you don't mind giving up your ID then there are a lot of different exchanges that you can use. coinbase, bitstamp, cex.io, kraken are examples.

also there is btc-e that is not so hard on verification, you may want to check them out. although prices are usually a bit lower in there and fiat fees are a bit higher.
17707  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC ETF SEC APPROVED on MAY 15th on: May 15, 2017, 03:58:44 AM
Hoping to be approved by this time despite of disapproving so many times, and if that happens bitcoin price will suddenly blow its price and thats the thing ive been waiting for.
Let's hope for the best. In reality during the past appeals for Etf several statements have been put forth that need to be fulfilled to get it approved. This time the time gap between consecutive appeals is very low to fulfill all the necessity. So this time too everything is gonna be an expectation till revealed about the result.

as far as i can remember last time they rejected ETF with main reason being "it is not regulated" and also "the price is too volatile" and nothing about these two have changed, bitcoin is not regulated yet and price is still volatile.
so unless there is something more that i don't know, they will reject it once again.
17708  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Major burglary on: May 15, 2017, 03:16:52 AM

and i just open the account, the account type is " new "
Account Type NEW
if i do not upgrade to " BASIC ",  can i buy, sell and withdraw coins ? anyone here can answer me ?
thanks

there is a question mark beside your account type name, click it and it will redirect you to an article from bittrex on zendesk i think and it is explaining what different types and their restrictions are. they aren't that bad, you can easily work with basic type.


i also say please add candlestick to your API. pretty please. Smiley
17710  Economy / Exchanges / Re: using Poloniex with a VPN on: May 14, 2017, 04:40:02 AM
they did that to me a long time ago and i simply moved on to the better exchange called bittrex Wink
and now i am happy, specially these days that Poloniex is screwing their users by fakely being under DDoS and dump on their orders themselves while bittrex is up and functional and fast.

i couldn't withdraw my balance though, but since it was small amount i never bothered to whine about it to support and i simply gave up.
17711  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Pump and Dump ninja technique, how to maximize the earnings on: May 14, 2017, 04:28:44 AM
you should always dump whenever you feel like this is the end of the pump and are satisfied with the return you have gotten from the ongoing pump.
what you shouldn't do is wait around and hope for more rise and more profit, that will never end well. you can not possibly know the top so dump when you get enough satisfying profit.

if you liked you can buy back in when price showed signs of more rise but the initial dump must happen if you want profit.
17712  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WARNING:network under Massive spam attack. on: May 14, 2017, 04:15:01 AM

Only post worth reading in this entire thread.

The economics of the fee attack are obvious.  They do not need to spend that much money in order to get the fees to go up.  If they flood the lower fee levels with transactions they are paying smaller fees if the transactions do go through at all.   Also, due to their own attack their transactions spend a lot of time in the queue just clogging up the queue - less cost for the attacker.  If they are really successful then most of their spam transactions will never get into a block and will eventually get dropped.  The cost to the spammer of the transactions that get dropped is zero.
~

that is not entirely true.
in order to have an effect on what others pay as fee you DO need to pay higher fee or at least a fee on par with others.
the fact that bitcoinfees website shows majority at 101-120 is because many are using old or bad wallet clients that will suggest a fixed default fee of that amount. for example blockchain.info is always going to say 110-120 satoshi per byte.

if the attacker floods the "queue" with low fee transactions they are ALL simply going to be ignored.
for example if there are 100,000 transactions with 100 satoshi per byte fee, i am going to pay a higher fee of 110 s/b and have more priority than them.

in order for a spam attack to be successful and cause higher fees and delays it needs to pay higher fees than what "I" pay. and they do pay higher fees. i have seen from 300 to 600 s/b (there have been 24993 transaction in last 24 hours with 301+ fee)

and it is not just weird unknown entities spamming, it is miners who are filling (wasting) blocks so that they have less space for real transactions.

17713  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC on correction mode after reaching USD1784.71? on: May 14, 2017, 03:51:43 AM
iam hear 15th may SEC announcement about ETF proposal
i think if SEC rejected again, big bitcoin user can playing price with dump, so if SEC rejected bitcoin price can down under 1500 dollar/bitcoin

i don't think it will be big this time. we have already seen the correction, and this time the news about ETF hasn't been the topic at all, nobody was even talking about it. and surely everyone knows the chances of approval is still as small as it was the first time.
17714  Economy / Economics / Re: What would benefit bitcoin more? on: May 14, 2017, 03:34:05 AM
all of these are helpful one way or another but in my opinion nothing can beat people wanting to spend their coins. it may sound silly but if people start treating bitcoin as a currency more, and stop just hoarding it, then the "mass adoption" that everyone is just dreaming about will happen.
because merchants won't accept bitcoin as long a there isn't enough demand of it (enough people wanting to spend) and others won't accept it as long as there isn't much usage for it.
17715  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: RANSOMWARE impact on: May 14, 2017, 03:28:38 AM
taking ransom is something that has been happening ever since Middle Ages and with a lot of different requests, money, property, etc in return.
ransomware has been around for a while (1989) and it also has been asking for many different things. these include but restricted to wire transfers, premium-rate text messages, pre-paid voucher services such as Paysafecard.
ever since 2016 it has started asking for bitcoin also more.

now if you think this can bring down bitcoin, the decentralized cryptocurrency, then you don't know nothing about it Wink

p.s. don't worry they soon will move on to Monero.
17716  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cold Storage formats and importing to spend on: May 13, 2017, 06:14:30 AM
the standard (universal) format that you are looking for is private keys.

I agree - and that's what I fall back to and the only reason I feel secure now. But if I just used that and send some bitcoin I'd lose the change still, wouldn't I..?
Which is why I thought giving someone a wallet a better bet.

for change you just generate a new keypair and use that, or (not recommended) send the change back to the same sending address.
and as for things like wallet or seed, these wallets all have an open source code, which means even if you don't understand it yourself, you can always find someone that does and ask them to solve your problem. for example in case in the future you had an old wallet that the new software didn't recognize. which is unlikely because these wallets are designed in a way to stay "backward-compatible".
17717  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cold Storage formats and importing to spend on: May 13, 2017, 05:30:23 AM
the standard (universal) format that you are looking for is private keys. all the wallets understand them without any exception and this will never ever change. and as long as you have the private keys you won't need to worry about wallets changing, disappearing or wanting to use a different type of wallet.

you say "here's your key to use bitcoin, that is all you need. you can use it with any bitcoin client that allows you to import private keys (most of them) and this is like your password"
you can save it in any format you like:

[above two is the normal way of doing things]

The gold market is SO different.

Nobody ever hacked 100,000 Gold bars off of an exchange in a matter of minutes.
first of all the bitcoin exchanges are new and shitty, so they can get hacked, also them not being regulated means they can pull all kinds of shit and even lie about being hacked and just steal customers money themselves.

secondly don't make assumptions like that, any online platform no matter how secure they are can get hacked.

Nobody can flash crash the gold market, literally taking out the entire buy wall with one fell swoop.

how would you know? have you been around back in around 600 BC? or to be more accurate have you been around 608 BC because by that time Gold was as old as currently bitcoin is and if you want to compare, you should compare that with current bitcoin market not the current huge established for years gold market.
17719  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is the Kristoffer Koch story true? on: May 13, 2017, 04:34:33 AM
it is true, and it is what you get when you are an early adopter.
and it is always the same, not just for bitcoin for everything. some people see potential, some just get lucky. for example those that invested in some business that went to the moon, like buying Apple shares or other big companies at a super cheap price many years back.
the difference with bitcoin is that it is not yet reached the end where price becomes stable at $X and only moves up and down in $0.1-$1 amounts. we are still rising every year.
17720  Economy / Speculation / Re: sub 1000 gone forever on: May 13, 2017, 04:23:26 AM
buyers will come in at 1100-1200 on next dip.  you will never again get the chance to buy a bitcoin for under 1k.

I think you're right.

I'd say that dip is coming real soon because the price just simply cannot keep increasing on a daily basis. Right now it's increasing by around $50 minimum every single day and that's the definition of a bubble in my opinion.

But once it reaches 1100-1200 level people will think about how bitcoin rose so quickly from that level to 1750 which is the price level we are on right now, and people will start buying back again and bitcoin will rebound.

It is not increasing by $50 every day. Bitcoin's price is down by 2% in the last 24 hours.
Such corrections are good. They prevent the price from going up too fast and prevent a bubble from forming.
However, I don't think we will see sub 1000 again.

sub $1000 is a whole different story.

but price has been rising fast, it is not about how much it goes up or down in one day but over a longer time like a week or a month. and this month bitcoin price has been rising a lot. we started at $1200 and now we are close to $1800 and that is about $600 rise which is a lot! (50% rise) and this means we should expect a correction soon.

Not only a correction but also a dump. I am not saying that Bitcoin is dead or any of that but it will end somewhere. It is nothing but a natural occurrence in the market. Bubbles do form and then they burst and back again. It is recurring in nature.

well the terminology in bitcoin is a bit tricky in my opinion Cheesy
when price is fluctuating in a $40 ($20 up and $20 down) range it is considered stable.
when it is going up $100-$200 it is considered a simple rise.
when it drops $100-$200 it is considered a dip or correction, specially if it is after a $600 rise.

but yeah i agree that there is always dump, then panic sells then the avalanche starts and then whales enjoy buying cheap coins in the end!
