Wondering if any one has any experience/ reviews / pointers on blockfi ( blockfi.com  )

They claim to give 5% interest rate on your BTC deposits ( https://blockfi.com/rates/ ) .
They are backed by the Winklevoss brothers (https://winklevosscapital.com/portfolio/)

Just wanted to check with the experienced folks here before I make an investment here .
Any pointers will be good .

Anyone has any details about the location of blockfi ?
I checked their site and got this address -  ( https://blockfi.com/contact/ )

201 Montgomery Street
Second Floor, Suite 263
Jersey City, New Jersey 07302
646-779-9688

Also found that the following firms also share the same office address  as above  -
1. "New Jersey Anesthesia Professionals"   ( If you search this on google )
2. Colormatics  ( https://www.colormatics.com/#contact )
3. Data Gallery LLC ( https://www.facebook.com/pg/datagallery.io/about/ )

I am not sure how virtual companies work, and I have heard of virtual addresses for firms, but  w.r.t sharing the same address with lots of other firms, I haven't seen many cases. But given that they are backed by the Winklevoss brothers and Perter Thiel etc,  ( https://winklevosscapital.com/portfolio/ ) , having to not have a "real" office is kind of showing lack of trust ? I don't know where they operate from.

Any leads on this before I start investing my BTC with them ??

Hi,
I was wondering if the site nafa.in is reliable and trust worthly wrt buying coupons using bitcoins ? Anyone has prior experience in buying coupons on this site ?

Here's more news on this

http://www.financialexpress.com/market/cut-all-ties-with-bitcoin-cryptocurrencies-rbi-tells-banks-financial-institutions/1122629/

This is the minute from todays RBI monetary policy report -

"MPC has decided that entities regulated by RBI cannot deal with or provide services to any individual or business entities dealing with or settling virtual currencies like bitcoin."

My understanding on this is that Banks (entities regulated by RBI) would not be supporting any of the bitcoin service providers in india ( zebpay / Unocoin etc ) in any of their settelment processes . That means that  linking your bank account with these service providers to withdraw INR from bitcoin exchanges would be deemed illegal from now on. Not sure how banks would take into account the already liked zebpay/unocoin accounts . Its wait and watch .
Anyone having any other view ?

Did any one listen to the RBI monetary policy today ? There was a mention of Bitcoin operators to be made illegal - I didnt quite catch it , but if anyone who heard the RBI Governer talking today, maybe he could explain ? Else will have to wait for some news bytes to come in to make a clearer picture.

Thanks for the offer ,
I have dropped a PM with my login id

Hi,
Is there a support email id . Iam trying to reset my password . But the "reset password " link does not appear to come to my email id. Not sure which email id to send to . Any help / pointers are appreciated.

I stumbled upon this old thread ..and was interested to know if the above posters were still holding on to their NMRs. ( Now that 1 NMR=$14 today )

By the way - Here's an update on the NMR front -
Numer.ai is giving away $1 million in airdrops ( but only for those who have a kaggle account - a data science platform by google.)
i.e 5NMR right away + 1 NMR per week. ( If you are above 'novice' (on kaggle) and have a numer.ai account ) and can put your profile url to that of your numer.ai url.

Link here : https://numer.ai/airdrops

Confession: I still hold considerable amounts of NMR . ( After many ups and downs and value erosion.)

zebpay is a ripoff
do the math.

Cool. Thanks for the reply.
But I keep seeing some offers to buy from amazon.in ( https://purse.io/earn#country=IN )

Thanks for the responses.

I have been posting regarding the discrepancy in the exchange rates . Now that you brought it up here , let me re-question your rates.

1. Why are you giving the customers a ridiculously low exchange rate ( 40% lower than the current market rates ) ? ( .032(market rate) v/s 0.019 (your rate)
Note : rates today =0.032 BTC / BTG ( as on Nov 22 0400 UTC - source : https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-gold/)
2. Why have you pegged the rate at a constant 0.019 BTC/BTG when market exchange prices are not ?
3. When you enable the BTG transfer to other wallet , are you going to charge for the transfer ?


Exchange to another wallet ? Transfer you mean ?? ( i hope )


Bottom line for freebitco.in customers :
1. Donot exchange your btg to btc on freebitco.in
2.Wait for the "transfer to other wallet" option and then move out your BTG.

Well ,  with the current market rate of 0.033 BTC / BTG , freebitco.in is giving a very low exchange rate @ 0.019 BTC/ BTG . 
It is better off waiting for them to open up the withdrawal option ( which they say will come soon ) and transfer the BTG elsewhere and change it rather than exchanging it at freebitco.in at this rate .
