Buggy wallet... as usual. Blockchain.com will never change its habits.

It appears that you're not the only one having a problem using it, this person also has a problem with the BTC balance not showing, and the post is only a few hours old.

Notice the other persons commenting on the same issue

Don't they have a mobile application? Perhaps you could try using it to see how it goes
1962  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: What exchange to use a US Citizen Abroad? on: February 02, 2021, 09:41:23 AM

Also where did you get that information about citizen abroad cannot use binance.us if they don't reside in the US for at least so and so days a year?

Simply by looking at their terms of use https://www.binance.us/en/terms-of-use#eligibility

That seems ridiculous and how would they even know?

How would they know? I don't know but surely by asking for proof of residence and/or the tax return.

So would you suggest just continue to use binance.com outside the US then... since well I never did verification with them and i could still log in with no issue?
 

Hmm, in your shoes I suppose I would continue to use Binance.com but it might be a good idea to ask them directly. They will certainly be more likely to answer you instead of random people (me).

I read on twitter, seems like lot of US users say they use it but use a vpn.  Isn't that illegal though?  Or they don't care?

As for using a VPN, it has never been illegal but some services may not allow to use it. It's quite easy to automatically detect a VPN connection so if you really want to use it you have to consider that you could be blocked at any time if they have a problem with it.

Otherwise, everyone could cheat and there is no point in having rules.

Il y a un endroit sur Paris vendant de l'or et qui accepte Bitcoin comme moyen de paiement, quelqu'un connait le nom? Je suis incapable de m'en rappeler, même en ayant cherché leur site sur google.
Je me rappelle juste un peu du site et qu'ils vendent de l'or, argent, et des devises.

Je connais Bitgild bien sûr mais ils ne vendent pas la pièce que je recherche. J'ai fais touts les autres (APMEX, etc...) et idem

...

Hmm, this could actually be interesting. Thank you for the answers.
Since my search didn't return any ANN and since the coingecko link were not showing any trading volume, I assumed it's some new gold scam token.

So...
Is there a proper announcement for this? I mean that searching for Infinigold (which seems to be Trovio now) I got to 2 tokens, PMGT and UPXAU?!


You're welcome

The token is listed only on Bittrex actually with 2 pairs (UPXAU/USDT and UPXAU/BTC). There is nothing interesting to see with the trading volume currently, the 2 pairs together have less than 0.01BTC the last 24h

About the PMGT token, I have never heard about it before but it appears to be another token backed by gold and Infinigold is also the same issuer. Both UPXAU and PMGT are unrelated

For UPXAU https://www.universalprotocol.io/
For PMGT https://www.pmgt.io/

1966  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Experience of using crypto debit card? on: February 01, 2021, 05:30:08 PM
1.
Yes, of course.
Basically, you send bitcoins to your account and sell the BTC for EUR. Then use your card as you usually do. No problem to send BTC from your blockchain wallet to whatever service you'll use.

2.
It's a question your bank might ask you at the moment you receive the money  on your bank account (AML), not once you find a property to buy with the seller who asks you for it.

If a day you're audited by the tax office they might ask you where the €500 per month comes from. At this point, it's up to you to give the excuse you want. Say you were a gigolo for some years lol.
But keep in mind that if you decide to cheat the taxes office you need to think long term, like 10 years.

Now, what if your country decides to ask the citizens to report these accounts (as they do with a bank account abroad) including an account on an exchange platform. Similar to what my country is doing.
What if you don't do it and later your government contacts the company to get users' information? Similar to what the IRS did with Coinbase?

A lot to think about

3.
Bitwala provides a dedicated IBAN, so you can use it just like your regular bank account, not just using the card to purchase online and ATM.
On the other hand, not all services give you the IBAN so you can only use it with ATM and to purchase online.
By the way, Bitwala has also a non-custodial wallet
1967  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: What exchange to use a US Citizen Abroad? on: February 01, 2021, 03:10:35 PM

You can use Binance.us and live outside but there are 2 conditions.

1) You can't use it if you're not a citizen but even being a citizen you can't use the platform if you live in a restricted state.
2) A citizen abroad can not use Binance.us. if he doesn't reside in the US at least XX days per year

- all the days in the current year
- 1/3 of the days the first year before the current year
- 1/6 of the days the first year before the current year

Today is February 1st, so:

- 2021: you have  to reside at least 32 days in
- 2020: you had to reside at least 121 days
- 2019: you had to reside at least 61 days

I don't believe Binance.com asks for your location since it already knows it based on your IP country
1968  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Any virtual card or physical card allowing US billing address for non-US people? on: February 01, 2021, 01:54:09 PM

  • Ask your friend to do the KYC process and do the necessary steps for completing the whole process.


It is a terrible idea.

What about if the law changes and the citizens must now report this type of account or an account on an exchange? As it is the case in my country (and it won't be the last one)

If his friend doesn't do it he risks a fine. If he does and depending on their taxation system, he will have to report the sale of bitcoins that he did not even own and did not even benefit and pay the tax.
If the friend agrees to pay the tax, I can say it's a very good friend ^^

@btcb3g1nn3r

When you will cancel the card there is a good chance Binance close the virtual card. So it's useless

Moved all 5 to the appropriate boards. If you find similar threads, simply report them using the "Report to Moderator" feature. Neither the phishing warning threads, nor threads about stablecoins belong in Beginners & Help - not particularly sure as to why users keep posting them there. As OP pointed out, phishing warning threads belong in the Scam Accusations board while threads about stablecoins or any other altcoin belong in the altcoin sections.

People keep posting them because in this section users give Merits too easily. Posters don't need to do a lot. Just copy-pasting a text with a link or merge 2-3 texts, and voila. You can easily rank up. Roll Eyes

Thanks for your time it's now clear and will report the next topics I see. (I find it useless to report the old ones)


To the guy who deleted his post:

Not my fault is you needed 6 months to explore the forum. Between the scam accusation and the beginner and help board, there is maybe 3cm on your screen. how lazy is that?.

No, it doesn't really help newbies, that's not the truth. It's what you think or what you want people to believe. It helps only the users looking to spam the board to increase their posts count.

1972  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Universal Gold now available on Uphold! on: January 31, 2021, 08:20:00 PM
Is this for a token?

It's an ERC-20 token and 1 token = 1 troy oz. The issuer is a coalition of cryptocurrency companies (Universal Protocol Alliance)

Is there any proof that you guys hold anything to back the value of the token?

A token is collateralized by a certificate from Infinigold (an Australian Fintech startup into the digitalization of gold and precious metal). It's then published on the blockchain and audited by Certik

Is there any proof for the claims that it's government backed?

The physical gold is at the Perth Mint in Western Australia hence the 'government-backed' since it's owned by the government of Western Australia

Aren't they the kind of topics that should be in the altcoins boards?

They may be "stable", who cares, they are still altcoins. Personally, I'm not interested in reading shitcoin topics on the Bitcoin board. Otherwise, I'll turn on and visit the altcoins boards.

This section is supposed to be for newcomers, or basic help/question and other stuff. But a lot of the topics seem to be topics that would have a better place in the scam section.

I don't see how this kind of topics help people. Oh please, don't tell me it helps people to not be scammed. Otherwise, we could fill the place with HYIPs.

1975  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Taint Question on: January 31, 2021, 12:07:40 PM
In the near future, the vast majority of bitcoins in circulation will be considered "tainted". We could somehow compare this with the banknotes contaminated with cocaine that are now in circulation in the hands of people who have nothing to do with it (Contaminated currency).

It will then be inevitable that exchanges will receive BTC tainted. This is why I have always found it absurd. It's like if they shot themselves in the foot, and many people will end up going elsewhere.

By the way, that's also why freshly mined bitcoins can have a premium price since they are "virgin" of any transaction

Nowadays exchanges have more or less the same obligations as banks with regard to AML, KYC, and others.
If it is usual for a bank to ask for the source of funds (and it is), the same applies to an exchange. Despite this fact, people might think that they don't have more authority than banks, but both are at the same level now.

...But again, we don't know how far back these companies look....

6 transactions for a company, 12 for a government.
It's not something official, of course, I don't remember where I heard that, I might be able to find the source eventually. Maybe in a video by Andreas about Coinjoin, or tainted bitcoins.
1976  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin prepaid/debit cards on: January 31, 2021, 11:13:58 AM

I totally do not recommend using such cards (issued by PrepaidDigitalSolution).

They don't work 90% of the time and I tried many e-commerces, top-up bank accounts, buying gift cards, and other things. I finally gave up trying. Years ago I even got my Amazon account suspended immediately after using it.
It turns out that in fact they can only be used with a few merchants. It's not really possible to know exactly which ones, we only find out when we try. And when the card doesn't work you're still debited.

You can consider yourself lucky if you get support from them, and sometimes just to be able to log in to check your account

To give you a better idea, check out the reviews on Trustpilot, it will give you a better idea of what you will get. A total nightmare
https://trustpilot.com/review/www.prepaiddigitalsolutions.com
The company was fine years ago, but it's now totally a mess.

For @OP, as many others say, it's almost impossible nowadays, if I remember Bitnovo is the only solution but the drawback is it has a low limit (250€ max before a verification IIRC). If you have a second phone number it's probably possible to get a second card and so on.

You can change the date, keywords, and other stuff.

Frankly, coming from this person I wouldn't even be surprised. It wouldn't be the first time.

Statistically, you have more chance to win a nice amount scratching lottery tickets
