I logged in there yesterday to see how things were going..
I was right away confronted with some verification crap.. not happening.
I did not join and support crypto to fork over my picture ID to AML/KYC govt complaint exchange businesses.
If you all value crypto you will reject this bullshit NOW.
Oh and recap time..
Cryptsy told me they lied to users and froze their accounts when a govt related request was made.
Get it ?
Spot on. I'm getting Cryptsy vibes as well. Have you seen the withdrawal fees on Bittrex - they're about ten times Poloniex's. And of course Cryptsy did this too just before the end. |

I believe this is not new. Almost everyone advices never to make any exchanges as your storing wallet. Use the exchange only for exchanging. Why does anyone would trust someone else to store their wealth? So many cases we have seen and yet people are still committing the same mistakes over and over again. You have given bittrex the power to act like god of crypto so now they are behaving such way. Take that power away from them they will treat you better. However it is like a new trend these days, no exchange last longer than a certain period of time. I wonder what is actually causing this? Are they investing someone elses coin in something else? mismanagement? poor handling of peoples fund? I have no idea and i am not accusing. I am just wondering, how many exchanges have gone down now. It is time for a trustless exchange. These people controlling exchanges will becoming dinosaurs very soon if they do not improve.
The problem is, nobody wants to have 50 altcoin hardware wallets on their PC. If's fine having a bitcoin wallet (just make sure you have a LOT of memory on your machine). But when you have to start adding alt wallets it just gets too much. |

It's likely to be just profit taking. Bitcoin went up like 20%+ in just a couple of weeks. Stuff that goes up too fast tends to go down fast, so people take profits from time to time.

have legacy accounts even got to do this now?
I have a bad feeling the answer is yes. I just got a screen when I logged on requesting information. Some warning would have been nice that this was going to be required. Glad I don't have a lot there that they can hold hostage if the basic verification does not go well. Hopefully I'm wrong or maybe they will have not gotten to your account yet. Good Luck. I got that screen too when I logged in. But when I clicked "summary" on the top left, it said I had a legacy account. Am debating whether to remove my coins from there "just in case". It's weird how much detail they're trying to get out of people - none of it required under either American or European KYC rules. Makes you wonder if they're data-mining and will sell all the info on the dark web after doing a flit. |

What is effect of upcoming Bitcoin Forks on existing bitcoin holders? Just like last time there were alot discussion to take bitcoins offline etc...
I think loads of people are going to be disappointed this time. I don't think bitcoingold is going to get listed on any exchange as it looks scammy. The segwit2x thing looks more serious, but it too can be resolved with consensus, which will mean a smooth fork, with one dominant chain and the other discarded. Ether just did a smooth hardfork today with consensus and it all happened without a hitch, no second chain or anything. |

No-one ever got poor by taking profits!  I think we'll find that bitcoingold was a complete scam, and no exchange lists it, which means lots of disappointed people in a few weeks time. At which point those who were simply holding to get their airdrop will sell. |

If you have 1 bitcoin, you will get 1 bitcoin gold. During the last fork, also exchanges gave bitcoincash to owner. Now some exchanges announced that they will give bitcoin gold who have bitcoin in their wallet.
Not sure where you are getting your information - not a single exchange so far has said they are supporting bitcoingold. |
|

It doesn't look like bitcoingold will be listed on a single exchange - which means that it's dead on arrival.
I think lots of people are confused between bitcoingold (which looks like a scam) and the segwit2x fork which will come in November (which the exchanges are taking seriously).

I lost coins on both Mintpal and Cryptsy (not a lot because I had developed the habit of withdrawing most of them, but still, you have to leave a little on the exchanges in order to trade).
I didn't lose anything on Vircurex because I'd ceased using them prior to their hack.
As for current exchanges - am a bit worried about bittrex. Too many reports of them disabling accounts, some of which have only very little money in them. No money laundering rules require full ID for small amounts of trading (it's only if you are withdrawing $2000 a day that you need to KYC), so something is very wrong.
It occured to me that we don't know who runs Bittrex, while we know who the CEO is of Poloniex, Kraken, Coinbase and so on.

Hi, i hear ICO is start for bitcoin gold,
can someone guide me how to buy bitcoin gold tokens?
anyone have idea about it
regards
There is no ICO about bitcoin gold. If you want to receive bitcoin gold, you need to have bitcoin because bitcoin gold is a part of bitcoin during the hard fork. After the hard fork, we will have the new coin which is called bitcoin gold. Therefore, you will need to have bitcoin if you want to have bitcoin gold. However, you can buy it after the hard fork if you do not want to buy bitcoin right now There is an ICO for bitcoingold. See the following thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/757l70/here_is_why_bitcoingold_is_shady_and_a_scam_you/People are getting confused between the segwit2x fork (which is similar to the bitcoincash fork), and this bitcoingold thing which looks like a total scam designed to confuse people into handing over their bitcoin addresses. Read the thread above people, and be careful. |

Once we're past this airdrop mania, I guess focus will gp back to fees.
The mempool on bitcoin is rising again, and basically as long as the blocks are full, people will use other coins to move money and transact with.

At least Xapo allow their users to withdraw bitcoin cash from their wallet earlier than users that are using Coinbase web wallet, I think Coinbase really needs to step up and improve their customer service if they plan on expanding their customer base, Coinbase users have to wait until January 2018 to be credited for bitcoin cash is a very bad idea.
Yup. Coinbase are the only ones left who haven't distributed the coins. Everyone else has done so. |

The increase in bitcoin prices is affecting the altcoins prices negatively. Because many people are selling altcoins and trying to get Bitcoin. October 25 is a very important date for split. If the split is positive, altcoins prices may fall too much.
Lots of people think it's an important date - but it looks like bitcoingold is a scammy premine ponzi and that most exchanges won't be listing it. I think people are confused between bitcoingold and the segwit2x thing (which is important). |

Xapo accepts non-European customers. It is based in Hong-Kong and was founded by an Argentinian man
My Xapo card also is gone because visa new rules. Can you explain? What visa rules are they? same rules as mastercard only eu country and this is not because of visa or mastercard the law makes them do it, anti money laundering and what not.. they try everything to stop the real meaning of cryptocurrency Here is a huge list of bitcoin cards: https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@bitcoinshirtz/a-full-list-of-bitcoin-debit-cards-for-2017Go through it and see if there is some that suit you - there are some that srn't visa or mastercard (like capitalist.net which uses wavecrest) |

It's $5200 and all the exchanges are struggling - 500 errors everywhere. Poor Jamie Dimon - when he made his comments bitcoin was at about $4000, so it's had a 25% gain.

The developers usually have to pay a fee to get their coin listed on most exchanges like bittrex and polinex (an exception is the decentralisaed exchanges like openledger).
Once they are listed, if the volume is huge, then the main bitcoin exchanges will list it (kraken, bitfinex etc)

yea that's all I did, clicked that box and said I'm not a us resident - are they that stupid? finally transferred the rest of my IOTA out of there to binance - not many options for iota if you don't want hardware wallet (which I could never get working) .. it's unfortunate our government is so evil and bitfinex are cowards. bye bye bitfinex
It isn't about stupidity exactly, it's about plausible deniability. They can point to you actively claiming you arn't American and it's on you for fibbing. |
