21  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: ecoin and wirexapp scam on: December 12, 2017, 08:46:40 AM
I  have not use e-coin in almost a year, because when I try to transfer my paypal funds to bitcoins they but a hold on my virtual card. I had about $45 in bitcoin in the account. I decided to check the account   after 8 months because price of bitcoins have went up several folds, only to find out there is no bitcoins in the account.Avoid them like the plague.
If you had stored bitcoins with them then nothing should have been deducted from that amount. It is only possible for your balance to be reduced if you are issued a VCC and you stored your BTC there, but since you said that you only went on the site again because bitcoin price has gone up, i think you have definitely stored your money in the wires bitcoin wallet.

E-coin to wirex rebranding shouldn't have affected you, either.

Contact their support and see what has happened. Very strange indeed.

The thing is they seem to put the onus completely on you to be able to check whether or not you are being offered the legitimate token or not. They are not admitting anything on their side that have contributed to this whole episode from happening.

I think you deserve a refund, but that's just my opinion.

Hitbtc management may think otherwise and never issue any refunds. But imo, if they consider the token that you bought legitimate, they should allow you to withdraw that amount of AMM as well. Just saying.
23  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: New arbitrage site? on: December 10, 2017, 03:57:18 AM
Would there be much call for one?  I googled it and there didn't seem to be any sites, just bots.  Would it be popular?  I am guessing you need a LOT of coin to invest if you are playing the % game. 

What i'm imagining wouldn't do the deals but it would tell you the cheapest route from one coin to another.  It would have amounts and links to the exchange pages to do the deals.  Maybe free and paid tiers.

What would you expect to see?  Which exchanges?  Which coins?

My grudge against arbitrage alerts currently is that there are just so many things that are causing teh arbitrage opportunity to exist in the first place, or otherwise people would have already taken advantage of that particular opportunity.

For example if i see a huge spread between yobit's pricing of a particular coin and liqui's pricing, then i get really excited. But then i realise that the wallet is disabled on yobit's side meaning that i can't do anything about it anyways.

I would suggest just excluding unstable exchanges such as yobit. Also, exclude fiats since that rarely works in arbitrage.
24  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: exchange with faucet inside on: December 10, 2017, 03:45:27 AM
do you all guys know is there any exchanges that have faucet inside the site like yobit, is there any others beside yobit?

Only one that i know is yobit and i've got accounts on pretty much every major exchange. And i can tell you that all established exchanges do not need faucets to bring in customers since they are so popular anyways, and only yobit does it because otherwise they're just a shitty exchange with no additional features, alongside with a support team that does not do anything useful.

If you really want, just use like a faucet rotator to collect from mulitple faucets, accumulate that into a faucet payment system, and send the deposit to your exchange.

But it's a tiresome process that does not pay well. So i would definitely avoid if possible.
25  Economy / Speculation / Re: Google "blow out top" on: December 10, 2017, 03:38:29 AM
read the investopedia article and then go back to google and click pictures, then check 3 month bitcoin chart linear, enjoy, im out @ 15k


http://oi68.tinypic.com/25r1fle.jpg

See you at 8500 on monday


Your charts would have matched bitcoin's price charts for the past 6 months. Every single time bitcoin got pumped you guys have been saying that it's the top or whatever. But every single time, the bears have been proven to be wrong.

I'm not saying it's impossible but seems unlikely for this price to stay long before rallies come back and everyone suddenly turn bullish once again.

Your random old bullshit magic hokus pokus stock tech analysis means nothing. Bitcoin is a currency, not some business. It's worth all of the money in the world. If any country isn't using bitcoin, it's undervalued.

Perfectly explained. In the long term, this current price is hugely undervalued still. If it's not equal to at least the M1 currency supply of a single country, then it is undervalued. And right now BTC's market cap isn't even 1/10th of US's M1 currency supply.
26  Economy / Speculation / Re: ♨♨♨ Bitcoin DOWN OVER 10% Today!! ♨♨♨ on: December 10, 2017, 03:35:07 AM
Bitcoin is down over 10% in the last 24 hours

Bitcoin is down over 1.5% in just the last hour


Is the market getting ready for futures? I predict the price will continue to drop exponentially  Shocked

Continue to drop exponentially? Barely.

It's just a correction. You didn't mention the fact that we are still up in regards to last week's price. In fact, we are up a cool 20% from last week still. So this should show you how crazy the pump has been and of course, a correction had to take place.

Even in the worst case scenario of this being the final straw to break the camel's back, i doubt there won't be a last push upwards for all you bears out there to sell at a higher price at. Though personally i'll be holding through this patch.
27  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: ConfirmTX.com's Free bitcoin transaction acceleration & New Block Notifications on: December 09, 2017, 10:59:23 PM
can someone tell me how the hell you can get scammed by only giving your transaction ID? because thats the only thing i send? how do they make money on that? i didnt send money the them directly?

PLZ Help!

1. They were probably only just submitting your transaction to the free antpool transaction accelerator anyways, so they are basically charging a fee for a service that was actually completely free to access for anyone.

2. They did not refund customers that did not get their transactions confirmed within the timeframe they promised.

So even though they couldn't do anything to your actual transaction, they were scamming probably hundreds of people from their money.

And now, he's not responding to anyone anymore, which is disgraceful.
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Monero, Zcash and Dash they all claims to be safe, secured and untraceable? on: December 08, 2017, 07:53:36 AM
Is monero, zcash and dash all of them using a private blockchain?

because based on my research monero is using a private blockchain to protect your privacy and make the transaction untraceable that is why monero is so popular i

in the darknet world right?



But zcash is jclaiming the same thing to make transaction with privacy and untraceable also but they are using a public blockchain how can that be possible?


Thanks in advance Smiley

I prefer monero because of the fact that you are essentially forced to anonymise your coins. ZCash and Dash both have optional privacy which basically compromises the whole thing a little bit if you know what i mean.

Yes, they all claim that they are the best, but as i said, i prefer monero.

Plus, monero has the best community out of all of the above altcoins, it's definitely not just for dark web activities for sure.
29  Economy / Speculation / Re: This peak is not the 2013 top! Still more to go on: December 06, 2017, 03:08:51 AM
from Jan 2013 to Dec 2013 bitcoin rose more than 5000%

but now from Jan 2017 to Dec 2017 it is just 1100%

so at a 5000% increase from Jan 2017 it is close to 40000$


so this 10000+ is just the small rise that resembles 100$ that happened back in April 2013.

I don't think that it is fair to compare bitcoin's current rally to the 2013 rally because of obvious reasons. First of all it stretched out for a longer period of time(obviously) and institutional investors are actually greatly interested in BTC this time round.

But this rally is far from over, in my opinion and even in some bitcoin bear's opinions.

Though $40k may be a bit too high, i'd say easily $20k-$25k before an adjustment though.
30  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: whaat are you doing with your litecoins? on: December 06, 2017, 02:57:06 AM
Hello there,

I wondered what you guys are doing with your litecoins? Are you holding them, gambling or trading? recently bought myself some ltc and wondered if you guys know about investing possibilities sin micro till small area.
Please share your Expieriences if you do so.

Greetings

Anything but gambling. THat is the worst thing you can do to yourself, and your coins.

Personally i've sold most of my litecoin stash when the price was still above 0.01 BTC which turned out to be a heck of a deal. I think that now the price is well below 0.01 BTC, we're entering a buy zone again and i'll potentially consider to stash up some LTC.

Though problem is we don't know how low it's going to go, so i would recommend buying a little at a time.
31  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Any exchanges with no ID requirement if no fiat involved? on: December 06, 2017, 02:35:00 AM
Are there any exchanges that don't require photo ID, or other personal info, if no fiat currency is involved?
Only crypto in and out.



Heaps of them. I'd say basically any except for bittrex or poloniex but obviously rules will differ from one exchange to another, and also you should consider the fact that how much you trade has got a lot to do with whether or not you're going to pick a particular exchange as well.

Though, these exchanges who do not need an ID generally are from unknown origins, meaning that storing large amounts of funds is discouraged.

Are there any exchanges that don't require photo ID, or other personal info, if no fiat currency is involved?
Only crypto in and out.

Try coinomi.com. AFAIK it doesn't require an ID to trade cryptocurrency pairs. Yobit also doesn't seem to require an ID. I have traded and was able to withdraw without giving any personal details.
I heard that Bittrex started to ask people to verify but I still have an account there which I can use in full and they haven't asked me for ID at all. Maybe it's only for new users.   

Coinomi is a wallet, not an exchange. They use changelly for in-app exchanges.
32  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Exchanges trading pairs? on: December 06, 2017, 02:31:29 AM
Do you guys not think that Exchanges should add more tradingpairs, besides BTC, ETH and LTC? If we look at international currencies we see that most of these have quite a bit of pairings which makes a lot of sense in terms of monopolisation and market safety. If BTC crashes, it would take down a lot of alts with it, even though I currently (since 10k btc milestone) don't think this needs to happen, BTC, ETH are quite experimental and though i'm bullish on BTC for the longterm it does show that it doesn't scale well, same as Ethereum and this cryptokitty fiasco this week. It takes 1 app to go viral and the whole network becomes unusable. But they have proven the ideology and principles of the technology.

But the biggest issue would really be, what extra pairs can you add? We're still a tiny dot in comparison to global markets. Most currency's are multi trillion and we aren't even at a trillion marketcap as a whole. Myself I was thinking about, Dash, ADA, Monero and NEM as diversification of trading pairs. I hope any exchanges reading this will also read this and think about adding more trading pairs, because everything is to dependent on what BTC is going to do next, even though some projects are really good and shouldn't have to depend on this.

What does the rest of the forum think? Do you agree, not agree? Reasons?

It's really up to the exchanges.

If they deem it profitable to add these new pairs then they will do it. However if they see it as a hassle to reengineer their framework and rather stick to the traditional USDT/BTC as base currencies, then they are welcome to do that too.

I think that most of the trading volume for alt-alt goes through BTC pairings anyways, meaning that if you directly pair two altcoins together you may not actually get that much better spreads, potentially even worse.
33  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: ConfirmTX.com's Free bitcoin transaction acceleration & New Block Notifications on: December 03, 2017, 04:00:29 AM
Sorry to say that I don't feel bad for anyone who got scammed after page 3 in this thread.
I tried to warn everyone that this was most likely scam but people continued to send the OP btc.

People aren't going to check this thread until they already suspect they've been scammed. ConfirmTX seemed legit for a while, only until the last few weeks. Unfortunately their service did work for a while and many claimed it was legit. I've used it before and had my first confirmation in <20 minutes and paying less than the recommended tx fee.

Apparently there are more free tx accelerators like viabtc, but they're not winning on SEO.

ConfirmTX has very good SEO right now along with reddit and other forum posts recommending them, etc.

I've posted here as well for visibility.

Last time this happened the admin did refund people, but only after they complained. Yes they have good SEO but that doesn't mean that they are the best choice for accelerators, and anyone naive enough to pay a fee for their service deserve to get scammed.

They probably just manually submitted transactions into a free transaction accelerator and charged people money for it.

That is the most likely thing that happened. But just hoping that admin comes back and repays everyone.
34  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTG going down, many bad rumors, what to think ? on: December 03, 2017, 03:55:49 AM
19th November, BTG is still going down.
I read several complaints about either the btgpool not paying the miners, the founder having a% of every transaction, scam wallet that were proposed on the official website and were removed after they stole millions, and probably more complaints...

Also rumors about having manipulated the price etc...(pump and dump scam )

If I have bought BTG ( so not received for free because I had no BTC and I'm newbee), @ 0.035; 0.034; 0.020 ; 0.019; 0.017 and 0.016 which is between 260-270$  and 130-140$ , (total 8.89 BTG), is it worth it to keep them in the hope of an increasing price, sell partially trying not to lose too much, or try to get rid of them ?

What do you guys think about all this?


Honestly, it is nothing surprising.

When people get access to their forked coins they often always just dump it as soon as they get it. Supply and demand, basically. When futures were being traded the price was completely artificial and now it's just returning to where it's supposed to be.

It could even go under 0.02 BTC, that would not surprise me.

Please notice !


Lately we are getting emails regarding other mixing providers that steal customers money.

Please make sure that the letter is being signed by our address and our https official website.  

Our official BTC address is 1BiTmixiWvteyHDNC8oZ9H2DvQFU7GwQPp (You can verify it on our website) and our official domain address is BITMIXCOIN.IO. Stay safe and DO NOT GET PHISHED.

Yeah this is the issue with a lot of mixers once they get big, a lot of people get driven away because they get scammed and think that it is the actual mixer that scammed them when in fact it was a phishing website.

Everyone, never click on any google ads when you search up mixers.

Also, verify that the URL is legit and as bitmixcoin said, the letter of authenticity is legit as well.
36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 15k to invest - how would YOU spread it on: December 03, 2017, 03:42:42 AM

I'm looking to invest around 15k possibly up to 25k in bit and altcoins. Just curious how some of you would invest the money for the short and long term. I use to own some bitcoin a couple year's back but stupidly didn't see the bigger picture at that time. Trying to research as heavily as I can to get the best understanding of what's going on now. Look forward to hearing others opinions and reasoning for how they'd go about this.

Always own at least 50% of your portfolio in BTC.

Then you can probably diversify the rest of your portfolio in altcoins and potentially other assets. I'd say that you should always research your own altcoins and not depend on suggestions, using cryptocompare or coingecko is a good start.

The point that i'm trying to get across is, never put your eggs in one basket. Sure, there could be a potentially larger payoff, but it's really not worth it.
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in altcoin still worth? on: December 03, 2017, 03:31:08 AM
Look like the Btc is unstoppable, have sense invest in altcoin in this 2 month? Anyway wich alcoin can have a better growth (exept fork) then Bitcoin?

Altcoins will make a comeback i think. Every time there is a bitcoin pump altcoins will always get dumped a bit, but when bitcoin stabilizes in price we usually can see altcoins getting pumped at least back to the previous levels they were at.

The thing you you really have to pick your coins carefully.

Investing in good altcoins will always be worth it, as there is always demand for it. But investing in shitcoins in any circumstance would not be a good decision to make.
38  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: High risk / high reward alt coin december 2018 on: December 03, 2017, 03:22:51 AM
Hi all,

I decided to have a little gamble in december with about $50 as my own christmass present. Smiley

I'm looking for a high risk / high reward alt coin to buy coming week with the potential to make x10 profits before new years eve.

Do you have any suggestions and can you explain why I should go for this coin ?

kind regards !

Probably potcoin... Thing is going wild right now and it is pretty much known to be a pump and dump coin. You're probably not going to make a fortune from holding it for the long term but no reason why it can't go 10x.

Perhaps IOTA as well, it has seen some potential.

Though you may wont to just pick a random coin with small market cap and just put your $50 in it, it's not a big amount.
39  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin Diamond BCD - will this match up to BCH/BTG in value? on: December 03, 2017, 03:19:48 AM
At Yobit the trading of BCD already on.

Will this be another surge like BCH/BTG?

or it will be a quickie RIP

All the indications point to BCD slowly dying. I mean if you look at the charts for its price then you'll realise very quickly that it's been on a downward spiral ever since the blockchain snapshot had been taken a few weeks ago.

When people actually get access to their BCD i expect them to dump as soon as they can.

Surge like BCH/BTG could be possible but that won't be something long term.
40  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Mining through Website...Legit or not? on: December 03, 2017, 03:10:31 AM
Hi! I have an account in a mining website. Are these websites legit? If yes, how they're doing this mining? If no, why you say so? Explain please.

Unless they are actually mining with your computer through an application such as coinhive, then no they are not legit. There has been plenty of precedents like this which initially paid people out, but in the end inadvertently all died off.

To be frank, these are nothing but ponzi schemes.

You'd probably be better off investing in legit cloud mining and taking a loss, than trying to reap profits from these sites.
