I told LBC to confirm via the bank, doctor's offices, etc but all i got was the same amount: before we proceed further we need need your picture id, selfie, blah blah.
Pay the extra money to fast track a replacement passport and give local bitcoins scans of that. You can normally get a replacement within a day if you are prepared to pay extra and go to the office. |

Since this thread is coming on to two years now and with all that has happened in Britain and the United Kingdom including Brexit
Is this even still in existence and have the rules in regards to using it must of changed completely.
Do you mean is Fidor bank still in existence? Yes. it started as a German bank, but now has a UK arm too. If you read the Kraken thread there are plenty of UK traders still using Fidor. Although the kraken seems to have a big backlog of support tickets I didn't read any complaints about Fidor bank itself. |

Someone can't simply create something revolutionary in the financial system as bitcoin (which stands against everything the banking system represents) and still support banks, this simply make no sense to me, the contradiction is definitely there. I wouldn't take a word from Craig Wright seriously. I'm not even sure why and how he is back suddenly.
He tried to create his own Bitcoin bank called Denariuz Bank. The whole point of Satoshi's vision for Bitcoin was to get away from banks, and Craig Wright wanted to create a bank. That's enough to convince me he's not Satoshi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Steven_WrightWright was the CEO of the technology firm Hotwire Preemptive Intelligence Group (Hotwire PE), which planned to launch Denariuz Bank, the world's first bitcoin-based bank, though it encountered regulatory difficulties with the Australian Tax Office and failed in 2014. |

Hello,
Can somebody tell me how this is working ? Assuming some people already have figor uk bank account , after that you open bitcoin.de account and then what needs to be done? Is there any cross-border transaction fees ? It would be so nice if somebody can explain, thanks
I don't know about transfers to bitcoin.de, but the Kraken exchange uses a Fidor bank account and can arrange fast transfers to other Fidor bank accounts. Although the first transaction can take a long time because it has to do extra checks, it says transactions after the first the are processed very quickly. https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002732067-Fidor-Fidor-deposits-and-withdrawalsAccording to BiteMyShinyMetalAss they charge £2.5 for a SEPA transfer. Fidor bank! SEPA transfer only 2.5 £, however you cant receive SEPA yet...  |

Other things I would like to know:
1. For UK residents: what bank/association do you recommend for trading with BTC? Should I open a business account? What bank do you recommend?
Look forward to your reply.
Best Regards
It's a bit late now, but there's a thread detailing free EU bank accounts you can open online. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1756494.0I suggested adding Fidor Bank to it, although I have no experience of using it myself. It's supposed to be Bitcoin friendly because it's possible to link it to a Kraken exchange account to facilitate fast transfers. |

It looks to me like this triangle around $2500 (bitstamp) might be going to resolve by the end of the weekend ... it's getting coiled up quite tight now.
Anyone else got lines on charts to confirm this ...?
Yeah, I am also seeing a triangle formation. I am expecting it to break downwards however... Why downwards? We have been in a bull market for months, and each time people thought it couldn't go higher it went higher. Is there some TA behind your reasoning, or just a gut feeling? The setup looked very bullish TA-wise a while ago (around the highs) so I expected a nice leg up, yet we broke down. Like Yefi also noted earlier, it looks like we are losing momentum. If you are at the start of the bull run, I don't have an issue with that. When you are in full bubble mode, losing steam raises serious red flags. I have been wrong before though, lost a big leveraged short position when it went up after going below 1000 on hardforking concerns. Most of the times I got it right were down to pure luck, and I got it wrong too many times to mention. However, looking at the six month chart there were lots of slow rises and falls, apart from in May/June. I'm betting on a slow gradual move whichever way it goes. |

What's your point in still discussing this? This has been discussed plenty of times on the forum and no one believes that that poser is not Satoshi Nakamoto. If he was, then he could have already signed messages from all known addresses of Satoshi or he could have went online on the forums using his account here. But he hasn't and he refuses to do it.
The point of this thread is CW turned up today still proclaiming himself as Satoshi. Do you think that it right? Do you? Really? Link would help. Cointelegraph has reported the story, and doesn't give a good write up for Craig Wright. It says he makes a lot of "claims", intimating they are all a load of crap. It says besides claiming he's Satoshi he "claims" he's controls a mining pool with 20% of all hash power. https://cointelegraph.com/news/craig-wright-rants-against-bitcoin-decentralization |

Any instances of Blockchain.info blocking accounts and asking for ID? Or causing problems of that sort?
I haven't heard of them asking for ID. However, there are a few reports of account holders locking their account to a particular IP address, then losing control of that IP. That effectively locked them out of their wallets. The user in the quote had his problem resolved. I expect others might have had to provide proof they owned their account before blockchain.info would remove the IP lock. I accidentally did a wrong thing by putting some random IP address in my blockchain wallet and now i'm locked out of my wallet.
Please help me how to get into my account back.
Thanks
Showing this on opening blockchain with my browser :
This Account Is Locked To Another IP Address.

Watching the price action and low volume and velocity lately is really weird. It's like someone just set the trading bots on 'auto pilot' and walked away from the keyboard for a few weeks.
Such apathy.
Of course I've seen this behavior before. Remember it well. It was the summer of 2014...
Some traders have probably set low bids, and are waiting for the price to crash. Others have probably already bought and are waiting for a rally. Nothing's likely to happen until one group or the other blinks. |

PS: Is there a moderation log capability on bitcointalk? I prolly should know by now, but I don't.  Yes, you can view the latest post deletions, bans, and thread removals here. The list only holds the last day or two's moderation actions. After that I don't think there's a way for ordinary users to view them any more. https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.phpPS: I'm pleased the price is back above $2500. Let's hope it stays above it for the rest of the weekend. |

Thanks for being prepared to put a lot of effort into moderating this.
I think we are going sideways this week, range bound between £2500 and $2600. I can't see any significant walls on stamp, which usually indicates nobody's sure which way it will go.
Not sure how much effort it will be going into it  ... it will definitely be 'light touch' moderation (no hard slaps). I screwed up the first go around by forgetting to click the "self-moderated" button so locked that ... it all adds to the forking anarchy confusion which is a good thing. Ultimately we need the original re-opened but this will be a possible option in case that doesn't happen. I suspect the winning fork will be the one that's closest to the original, provided the original stays locked. Light touch moderation might well win. No moderation will probably get locked, and heavy moderation will probably make everyone too scared to post anything humorous. I hope my predictions about this thread are better than my price predictions. A few hours after predicting range bound between £2500 and $2600 it crashed below £2500! |

Weekend dip??
It's gone below $2500 and I was hoping for a stable price this week. Perhaps a few traders are panicking that we might get a repeat of last weekend. Hopefully it will soon return to prices above $2500. |

No I have less than 20 addresses currently. Where is the GAP limit setting to increase it on the offline computer?
Click the console tab to open the console window, then paste the line of text below into it, then press your enter key. wallet.change_gap_limit( 50) Afterwards paste the line of text below into the console window, then press your enter key. You may have to wait some time before the process completes. It's completed when a blinking cursor preceded by >> returns to the console window. wallet.synchronize() Restart electrum to view the extra addresses. Adjust the number shown in red to increase or decrease the number of addresses you want. If you ever restore your offline wallet from seed you will have to repeat that process to view those addresses. |

That's interesting. But how to proceed if you don't remember the exact number of the coins you had on Mintpal? I had hundreds of thousands of EMC2 for example, but not sure about the exact amount. I assume you just fill out the form and let the liquidator know you are estimating the number of coins you had on mintpal. It would help if you can supply copies of emails about withdrawals and deposits from relevant exchanges, and transactions from wallets. You have nothing to lose from trying, and there will be others with the same problem. |

If I import the private keys to Electrum, will my old private key backups still be valid?
Whatever multibit private keys you import into electrum will still be valid in multibit. After I select "use public or private keys" it says "create keystore from keys."
So if I import my private keys I don't have to create the seed phrase?
Yes, if you import keys you don't have a seed phrase, but you have to back up those keys to secure your Bitcoins. If your wallet file gets corrupted the only way to recover your Bitcoins is by using those backed up private keys. These are the steps to make an electrum wallet that uses imported private keys.    If you leave the password field blank when creating your wallet electrum creates an unencrypted wallet. If you fill out a password electrum encrypts your wallet file with the password.  After you have created a wallet you can click "wallet" in the menu bar then "addresses" in the drop down list to open the addresses tab and view all the addresses your wallet contains.   |
