My queastion is when wallet status is Maintenance (deposit and withdraw), how long it takes?
Thanks
P.S. It's been over two weeks
There is no timeframe provided by yobit about this. Usually it will take a long time, probably at least 2 months. In some cases wallets placed in maintenance from 2017 are still not unblocked to this day. If you message support, they will most likely just ignore your messages. Their efficiency is absolutely terrible. So basically, if you have funds in these wallets in maintenance then you can kiss your money goodbye, and when they actually do get to unblocking it your alts have already dropped in value a lot. Yobit should be avoided at all costs, because they are just the worst exchange possible currently still in operation. |

It's outrageous. Bitcoin trading fees are already higher than stock trading fees (where you usually pay a flat fee rather than a percentage). My advice - move to Kraken. They do maker taker fees. If you are a maker, the fee is just 0.16%. Yeah exactly. I don't know why people would use Gemini when fees are so high for both makers and takers. The only reason would be that someone wants to get money in and out of bitcoin quickly but other than that, the fee schedule is outrageous. Haven't used Gemini before, but the new fees would mean at least 4-5x more than other exchanges. This presents absolutely no advantages whatsoever to use Gemini. If you're going to get verified anyways, just use Kraken/Binance/a bunch of other exchanges which all have more competitive rates than Gemini. |

George Soros is reportedly getting ready to start trading in crypto. Now, I wonder what the hell does that mean. Soros is a multi billion dollar player... it's not like the markets are liquid enough for him unless he wants to stay with Bitcoin only, the rest of the coins are a joke as we all know, so I assume his biggest position would be Bitcoin. Will he be trading futures or the actual asset? does this bring us closer to an ETF since the SEC would sure like to see huge players trading an ETF and not Bitcoin itself? (so they can manipulate it better..) What impact do these George Soros news have on Bitcoin? https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/06/soros-fund-reportedly-preparing-to-trade-cryptocurrencies.htmlThe news say it will be through his investment fund, but we don't know what they will be doing exactly. Very vague as to what "preparing to trade crypto" means. IMO this dip is going to mean that a lot of new institutional investors make their entry into the market. They see the opportunity here after the bubble had just burst, and they want to take advantage of it. As he said, bitcoin technology is extremely promising even though the price had crashed due to the bull market coming to an end. I have no idea personally whether that firm will trade real bitcoin or not, but I think they will probably trade in derivatives, or investing in new bitcoin projects instead of an actual bitcoin. Impact wise, not much. Short term could generate some hype since this firm has some following for sure. But again, it's just signifying start of an influx of institutions investing in BTC. |

When anyone control 30% of the total supply of a coin then that project is as good as dead. With the volume so low on exchanges I'd be surprised if there wasn't any back and forth wash trading going on by developers to artificially inflate the demand of the coin, so that they can achieve their ultimate goal of dumping the coin on the open market for a nice profit. As The Pharmacist said, this is disgusting to use the story of helping the needy but in reality the developers are just trying to have a nice payday. With all the evidence, it's safe to say that this is a coin to avoid. Even if they turned out to be legit I don't know why you would invest in anything with a 150 million coin premine when the total supply is 500 million. |

The process will start by upgrading the local fiat currency to a blockchain based cryptocurrency, accompanied by tools like transfer, exchange, taxes, KYC, AML, reporting…
A currency as a cryptocurrency has many advantages and will — from my point of view — change economics fundamentally.
It definitely will. And not necessary in a positive way. Governments all over the world are trying to eliminate cash and shift residents to e-money (whether blockchain or bank-based). The motives behind these are simple - Increased surveillance over what you do - No leakage of tax revenues - Implementation of policies like negative interest rate or demonetization This is actually the diametric opposite of what decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin set out to achieve. To me, that's exactly why I think it's completely absurd for anyone to go with a government issued coin when you have the alternative of working with decentralized cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin. The blockchain technology is only used to exert even more control over the economy, to further the surveillance on your spending etc. that were not previously possible with cash, have a more direct impact on the economy, or to freeze assets directly. That to me is the scary aspect of centralized cryptocurrencies. But a lot of governments are already looking to implement their own centralized versions of cryptos, and I don't think that anyone can stop them. The push for a cashless society and increased control from the government will be furthered using blockchain technology. But I'll keep holding onto my bitcoins, thanks. |

This user (SatleonxD) scammed me on April 7th. He PM'ed me with regards to my want-ad: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3272600.0His PM was: "Hello i have this invite contact me email panchito123497@gmail.com" I contacted him, and he offered an invite for USD$15. The name he uses in email is "francisco carvajal". I sent him bitcoin payment for USD $15. He promptly replied as follows: "Bye fucl i scammed u". Anyways, just wanted to add my experience with this user here and warn others who might deal with him in future. Cheers. What his name is on his email probably doesn't matter at all, he can easily make up a fake name. This user was tagged on the 2nd which was well before you got scammed. Did you not read the feedback sent by The Pharmacist 5 days ago? Anyone that has any negative trust from default trust should be dealt with extreme caution. This guy really shows no remorse whatsoever, and is a serial scammer. Only thing is he seemed to messed up and used the same email address on his alt account. Sorry for your loss man, but you should have never sent money to that guy in the first place just by looking at his reputation alone. To verified accounts in skrill, neteller and bittrex the person must deliver documents, how the hell does he get so many verified accounts or does he not have these accounts just bluffing? and it is unbelievable how in this world there could be such cruel people who can steal money from other people. these scammers do not stop surprising me.
he locked the Thread, I suppose it's because you created this thread. Once again, congratulations.
Yes, selling/trading accounts for Neteller/Skrill/Bittrex is strictly forbidden. He probably got photoshopped or stolen docs to verify these accounts. If you buy them then you'll probably get limited sooner or later, not to mention that it's completely illegal as well. OP, good job on the finds. |

There is a wisdom which says that false hopelessness is much worse than false hope. You may think that it is just a catchy phrase but it is definitely not. When the prices fall as hard as they did since December, it is difficult to stay positive when you had bought right at the peak. But you really should. The difference between staying positive and negative is colossal and life changing. When you are feeling negative and depressed, you won't do anything. You will just curl up in a fetus position and cry all day long over the money you have so carelessly invested in Bitcoin. However, if you stay positive and look forward to a better future, you will be actively searching for ways out of the predicament you got into.
As a matter of fact, there were quite a lot of opportunities along the road to balance out the losses since December, and if you focused your attention on these opportunities instead of pointlessly crying over spilt milk, you would now reap profits, literally. This is what seasoned traders do all the time and you can do as well.
Well said. And the least you can do right now is to just hold onto your coin. Don't get affected by your emotions and start panic selling, because that's exactly what the majority of the inexperienced bitcoin investors are doing. And never does it work. The action that you can take definitively in this scenario would be in my opinion average down your costs by buying at the dips. Each time bitcoin dips in this bear market, buy some more BTC so that eventually, your buy price can be a fraction of what it was when you bought your coin at the peak. The next bull market will eventually come(as unlikely as it sounds right now) and all the people who actually bothered to look into the future and had the patience to stick to their initial investment will be rewarded. The ones who panic sell will have an empty bag at that point, only wishing that they had held onto their investments. |

Hello
I write reviews on multiple websites on how they performance and trust worthy sites or scams . Well I will come to the point where I have invested my money to upgrade when it says you can get payouts after hitting 0.0050000 so I tried that it says I had to upgrade or pay a maintenance fee so I upgraded to crab investing 0.01 bitcoins so i paid that and then you add on your maintenance was more money as well. So I paid that as well now I have been waiting days for my payout and still nothing Also I have another complaint about your company that if you want to change you bitcoin address it says again you must upgrade well I have upgraded to crab and I still cant change my bitcoin address. So please I ask of you to help me with these problems. I also like to add yet another complaint that you do not ever respond to any message emails I have to you multiple times. So I believe this will fall on deaf ears.
The only site called "multimining" that I could find was multimining.website. Just look at what they are trying to pitch to you here. Free mining at the start, once you reach the point where you are actually able to cash out, they ask you to pay them money in order to upgrade your "investment plan" in order to get the money stuck inside their system out. Plus, they are promising you guaranteed returns, something not possible in the real world. Either they are a scam, or a ponzi in disguise. In this case, it's just a scam that'll take your deposits. It's no coincidence that anything you say to their support is falling on deaf ears. They are professional scammers, goddammit. |

This is a known scam that's been around for ages. Basically it's always someone that has a self moderated thread, sometimes locked as well to avoid any backlash on thread that would deter people from buying from them, selling from an autobuy link. Autobuy links do not provide any sort of tangible security, it doesn't act as escrow for your transaction. There is pretty much no way of getting back your money, otherwise the scammer would not accept this as their payment method. It's a lesson learned for you. Dealing with gift cards is already risky enough, at those kind of discounts you're unlikely to see any legitimately obtained GCs. There's a reason why DT users have already given negative trust to him ages ago. |

I follow a bitcoin price prediction forum that says that within the next week the bitcoin price will fall on the $ 6k price range
this is based on the graph of bitcoin price fluctuations
What is your opinion
Based on the development of recent days, I think that there is probably more of a chance that we will go on a small rally first before price probably continues to tank further. Eventually I think the $6.6k support will not hold up, and bitcoin will fall under that. But not this week. This pump is one a reaction to the $6.6k support level holding up nicely without collapse, and also can be attributed to Tom Lee saying that bitcoin's bear market will take a break on tax day in the US. But either way, I don't think that this small rally will go anywhere beyond perhaps $8.5k in terms of pricing. Most likely the price will be brought down further since we are not fully out of the bear market right now. |

I'd say that have the accuracy of smerits down to .5 smerits just like Loveboard suggested, because that's the amount of sMerit you get for each merit. Some lower ranked people may only have very little smerit to give away, or even just half that they want to give away.
But it doesn't really make sense to have it down to .1 or .3 sMerits. That's way too confusing.
Again, imho the silver/gold merit proposal just makes the already confusing merit system even more confusing.
I like the idea of increasing participation of lower ranked members in the merit system for sure, though. But honestly I'm happy with the merit system as is, and implementing such change will probably take time and re-education.

Thank you for the reply. KYC and AML would not be a problem but I asked because of limits some exchanges place.
About Coinbase, if someone cashes out 1 or 10 or 100 or 1000 Bitcoin would that transaction go through without having any daily/weekly/monthly limits applied? In other words, would the full value be transferred to the bank in one go regardless of the amount?
Coinbase does have a limit and you can't just keep on withdrawing from their platform. How much the limit is I don't know but apparently it can be increased according to their very vague FAQ about withdrawals. It could be 100k GBP as gentlemand said. But Coinbase isn't even designed to be an exchange for whales, the fees add up on their site pretty quickly if you are a whale. Not sure about GDAX, however. Every single exchange will have limits of some sort and it's best to ask their support about it first. But as I said, consider p2p trading. You can easily get people willing to buy up to 20k GBP at just under market rate, and these people will usually willingly trade as much as you want since they profit on the trades as well. |

Last night, I went to buy some Amazon gift cards with BTC on Gyft. They weren't available. I figured it was a temporary thing, an API issue or something, because that's happened before. But I emailed them about it and they responded, "Amazon is no longer available through Gyft."  Are there any similar alternatives? I really liked having a corporate reseller because you could always trust that their cards weren't fraudulent. With P2P or things like Purse, fraud is really common, so I'm looking for a reputable reseller like Gyft. Any reason provided for why they shut down? Was it really because of Amazon's ban on third party sellers? I used Gyft I think around a year ago and the process was probably the smoothest I've used for a gift card purchase using bitcoin. Sad to see them let go of AGC purchases, though. When you receive a gift card on eGifter as a gift from someone else, you can exchange the gift card brand they sent you for another gift card brand, including Amazon.com. To do this, click the “Exchange Gift” button on the gift before you claim it. Upon verifying that you want to exchange the brand you received, you will have an eGifter Swap Card that you can use for any gift card of the same value available on eGifter.
The only current limitation for using an eGifter Swap Card is if you select Amazon.com. In this case, the Amazon.com card cannot exceed the value of the eGifter Swap card. Additionally, if you combine other brand gift cards with Amazon.com in your eGifter shopping cart, you will only be able to use the following payment methods at checkout: That's a lot of hassle. But it does seem like it may work based on their description. Avoid purse entirely because pretty much the only reason why people would be able to pay such high rates for BTC is because their AGC is unclean, and since you're the one that the item is getting shipped to, you're the one that'll land in trouble. If Amazon did have a ban of third party sellers then the only way you can get AGC with BTC would be private sales, am i right? Does bitpay still work for purchasing AGC? |

any site recommended for buying games with BTC?
can't use steamgamesbtc as i need some game like origin and battlenet
Depends on what games you're looking for. As others have said Kinguin may be the site you're looking for, or G2A. If you just want Steam gift cards and then buy games in the Steam's desktop app then you could do that too, probably the cheapest option. Instead of using Bitrefill for your Steam gift card purchase though, I'd recommend other methods to get your steam funds for cheaper. Tons of methods out there. It takes some time but it's way better than paying over spot price for Steam gift card funds. You can usually get around +10-15% if you trade for steam gift cards p2p, or around +5% if you just buy csgo keys with BTC and then sell than for steam funds(after fees). Never knew this... Thanks for the heads up. |

There is no way that bitcoin is going to go to $1 million at the end of 2020.
John McAfee is just not credible any more after he made those outrageous predictions as well as the revealed fact that he was getting paid outrageous amounts of money for crypto related promo tweets.
It doesn't really matter if the prediction fails or not, because he's got the publicity he's looking for.
But it definitely won't happen. Bitcoin price will not go 200 fold in 2 years. The maximum I can agree with would be $100,000 per coin by 2021. $1 million by the end of December 2020 is completely insane if you believe that.

It's not just happening in Bibox. I remember that around 2 weeks ago there was a member who experienced the same sort of scam with yobit where an imposter tried to approach him with the title of yobit support and asked him to send 1 ETH in order to reverse a transaction. And when he sent the payment, the imposter just kept on asking for more ETH to be sent.
Exchanges will never ask you to send them money to do something. Especially with such broken grammar. His reason of "your account is full of jam on the mempool sir" is nothing short of hilarious.
Thanks OP for putting this out there. Scams that involve imposter of exchange reps have gotten very common. In general, don't send any money to anyone claiming to be support until you verify they are not impersonators.

@wapinter where did you lock the thread? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3133601.340 is still unlocked and anyone is able to reply to it still. All the people who actually post on their thread are obviously farmed/shill accounts that have the sole purpose of bumping up altcoin ANN threads with their shitposts. ICO bumpnig services is against the forum rules as well so it's more than a scam. The project is also in violation of forum rules. Quite pathetic because it proves that they can't get any organic attention any other way. The photoshopped image accusation seems to be evidenced as well. I think who doesn't got knowledge about bitcoin regulation process which is worldwide they can't understand the situation easily. Bitcoin regulation is going on switzerland now which make the current situation harder.thanks
What does this have to do with anything the OP has said? Understand that you have just been exposed of having a fake team, photoshopped team members, and employing strategies against the rules of the forum to bring attention to your ANN thread. Instead of posting nonsensical responses, maybe explain what's going on with those issues? |

Hi timerland, thank you for your feedback, and I hope I can address some of these points.
With regard to the US, we do restrict players from both registering and logging in.
In terms of our withdrawal procedure, over 90% of withdrawals are processed instantaneously. For larger withdrawals, we are required to run due diligence checks and, in some extreme cases, require proof of ID. In these cases the process time is not in our hands as we have to wait for a player response before we can legally release funds.
I appreciate that a clear and definitive timeframe would be preferred and have fed this back to our customer support team. I am not able to share the reason for the delay in OP's withdrawal publicly. Generally speaking, larger withdrawals are processed manually which is more time consuming, but the vast majority of withdrawals are instantaneous.
If you have any further questions, do please let me know.
Thanks,
Peter @ Cloudbet
But OP was able to register and deposit, but he wasn't able to bet anything. What caused that? You mentioned "for larger withdrawals". But how large do the withdrawals have to be to have to be manually processed by your team? This is why I'm saying you should have clear schedules and timeframes for withdrawals. Otherwise, the players don't even know how long they will have to wait for. Also, for OP there was no ID checks(or at least he didn't mention it at all), so the processing time was indeed in your hands. His withdrawal isn't even that large, it's under $2k and most crypto casinos will process those withdrawals instantaneously. BTW, do you still have the policy of the user only able to withdraw after they place one or more bets, or is that abolished now? |

The amount of people that are actually using bitcoin is very very small compared to the world population. I think your statistics are probably accurate and there is no more than 1% of the world's adult population(not counting children, even) are using bitcoin as an investment or to pay for stuff.
This is why I believe we are still in the early adopters phase. A lot of people are introduced to bitcoin during the 2017 pump but will not actually take any action. These people will certainly join when the early phases of mass adoption happens.
There is no reason why bitcoin can't at least achieve 20-30% adoption within a decade, and it's with that kind of increased demand but limited supply that I think there is a huge amount of upside available for bitcoin to grow into to be an effective long term investment.

Kraken and Coinbase use EURO currency not GBP when having coins exchanged and sent to a UK bank account. Which has the best conversion rates/fees and is the easiest exchange to use?
Which is the quickest when dealing with AML/KYC paperwork?
Pretty sure that coinbase/gdax will request paperwork for any sum of fiat to be involved, whether depositing or withdrawing. Quoting from their site: GDAX requires two identity verification steps for all customers. These verifications are requested during the on-boarding process and are required prior to depositing funds or trading. I think coinsbank also will require ID verification for trading and withdrawing GBP or any fiat as well. That's pretty much the policy of all crypto exchanges that also deals with fiat now because of the regulatory pressures. But both GDAX and Coinsbank(Bit-x formerly) are trusted exchanges so you shouldn't have an issue with security of provided ID docs. Look into localbitcoins if you are able to sacrifice around 3% of the total amount for the convenience of no KYC. Plenty of offers available: https://localbitcoins.com/instant-bitcoins/?action=sell&country_code=GB&amount=¤cy=GBP&place_country=GB&online_provider=ALL_ONLINE&find-offers=Search |
