Those exchanges are still tracked at cryptocoincharts. I recommend anyone who'll looking into statistics for cryptocurrencies to use that website, it's really useful and doesn't make exclusions to exchanges based on volumes.  Roll Eyes

You can link several bank accounts with absolutely no problem. You'd have to verify each through Coinbase's normal procedures though.
2404  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-1-5] Mark Zuckerberg wants to introduce cryptocurrency to facebook on: January 07, 2018, 06:25:58 PM
I think that introducing any sort of existing cryoptocurrency to Facebook would actually be bad for bitcoin. People there are used to spoonfed information and easy to use interfaces. If facebook users were exposed to bitcoin the majority would end up very frustrated, likely having a bad opinion about their experience.
2405  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Quick ICO question on: January 07, 2018, 06:20:40 PM
Hi guys

Something which hopefully is a simple question but I would really appreciate understanding...

If you invest in an ICO, could you ever lose more than you invest?

I understand that, say for example you invested $1,000, that could eventually be worth £0 but could you ever end up owing money? - say the coin crashed and the company running it had debts for example.

Might be a silly question (sorry if so) but I'd like to know.

Thank you.

Most ICOs that put legal disclaimers on showcase that token holders are not actual shareholders. That doesn't give them shareholder rights but also doesn't give token holders the same responsibilities. I don't think that under any jurisdiction token holders would end up owing more than they've put in though. Even if a company was promising tokenholders shares, the company would have to not be an S.A. or L.L.C. structure for such a thing to be even possible. Proving ownership and linking to identity would come next.  
2406  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: VOISE - Revolution of the music industry on: January 07, 2018, 06:16:11 PM
With so many altcoins that have tried to engage with musicians and their industry, why do they all end up failing? I think that people might be a hard time grasping that its especially hard to link crypto with real world use cases. Musicians aren't posing a lower entry barrier for any reason.
2407  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are your Red Flags? on: January 07, 2018, 06:13:20 PM
My red flags are badly writer white papers:
This shows that the team couldn't even put enough effort into highlighting the best of their ideas.
Whitepapers that are all words and no discussion on technical details:
This showcases that the team's work probably can't do much in terms of developing the project they envision themselves.

No code samples or minimum viable product to showcase:
This again is indicative of the team having little technical knowledge. It shows that the team is waiting for funds to get anything done.
2408  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think swissborg is a Good investment? on: January 07, 2018, 06:07:28 PM
I think that their projections seem too optimistic and perhaps their use cases a bit far fetched. I didn't see any minimum viable product from them able to showcase that they're ready to develop what they invision and put it in practice. It's a risky investment but could be highly rewarding if progress is made with the development. So far I think that at least the marketing is good.
2409  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 🔥🔥🔥 PUMP GROUP THAT PUMP COINS TO THE MOON🌙 🌙🌙 on: January 07, 2018, 06:04:45 PM
I like how the OP asks for proof of pourchase for pumping... What should be happening here is that they should be providing proof of their work and perhaps use bitcoin's ability to provide proof of ownership to showcase how much they hold.
2410  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple founder become the world's fifth richest man on: January 07, 2018, 10:02:52 AM
With a centrally structured coin like ripple, he could be even richer by centrally issuing more tokens. The thing is, the open market than ripple trades on makes it highly volate. The value could drop any day now, because profit taking is bound to happen.
2411  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can this rise go on forever? on: January 07, 2018, 09:50:47 AM
I mean, even shitcoins and abandoned projects increase in price and market cap... what's going to happen, your prediction?
The entry barrier for alrcoins has been quite higher as of recently. People are not blindly putting money in any coin that randomly goes out, at least not as the altcoins explosion had it some years ago. I think only time will tell which altcoins will persist. If development of certain alts stops then the market would likely follow through.
2412  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: safe to store about 15 altcoins on bittrex about $8k on: January 06, 2018, 06:25:56 PM
It has some pros but even more cons in my opinion. I would say that with bittrex being s registered company the risk of them running away with coins isn't that much of a concern (athough still a possibility). Exchanges have been irresponsible with handling customer funds in many cases and recovery can be an extremely long process like with mtgox or seemingly impossible like with cryptsy. Better keep the alts on your own, take advantage of their "bee your own bank" ideals and care about security on your own.
2413  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitconnect to the Moon! on: January 06, 2018, 06:00:58 PM
Bitconnect is a blatant scam. The price of it is obviously manipulated by the exchange opperated by the team behind it. The current state of it is making it reach absurd price levels, conning many cryptocurrency newcomers into putting money in that scheme. Bitconnect is doomed to collapse, as any pyramid scheme does.
2414  Economy / Services / Re: Purchase Anything from Italy With Crypto currency on: January 06, 2018, 03:44:30 PM
Can you also do parcel forwarding? Some people might be interested on ordering items only originally deliverable by the sellers to Italian addresses.
2415  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is the 21 milion of bitcoin a real limit? on: January 06, 2018, 03:42:01 PM
Yes, 21 million is the max supply of bitcoin. But in actual fact, some bitcoin are lost forever because of various reasons like lost private keys and etc. So the actual supply is much lower than 21 million.

The circulating supply will never reach 21 million for bitcoin because tons of bitcoin were lost forever because of the fact that people lost their wallets. The current circulation is also less than 14-15 million for now, probably.
It is also impossible to be certain about which bitcoins have actually been lost forever. Someone holding the private key of a wallet can prove ownership but in Bitcoin it is impossible to prove that you have actually access to the key.
2416  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Will You Still Get Into Bitcoin Even if the Gov't Declared it Illegal? on: January 06, 2018, 03:34:50 PM
A single country bannonv cryptocurrency would allow for a global field of competition in the finance sector. Those countries with Bitcoin banned would lose out in developing the necessary backbone for such an economy to flourish.
2417  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][XLM] Stellar - Decentralized trading platform on: January 06, 2018, 02:32:30 PM
What is it with polo being so unreliable with Stellar deposits and withdrawals. Why would it be that such an exchange can't handle transactions with such a popular crypto? Could it be true what they said, putting the blame on Stellar?
2418  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Visa crackdown on bitcoin debit card providers - Jan 2018 on: January 05, 2018, 11:02:50 PM
Anyone know what's up with Coinsbank? I haven't heard of an update from them regarding the cards but the most recent one wasn't good either. Reducing limits for lvl 2 verification just recently:

As much as I like CoinsBank, this isn't up to the spirit of holiday spending. All cards are getting reduced limits unless verification lvl 3 is reached. From my experience, their verification procedure can be quite fast but AFAIK they rely on own resources instead of a third party app that does verification with better uptime so if you're after verifying your card do so quickly before Christmas holidays.

Quote
Please note on January 17th, 2018 new card limits will go into effect.

For customers with cards levels 1 and 2, each card will have a spend limit of 250 USD/250 EUR/200 GBP per card life cycle.

Point of sale transactions, e-Commerce transactions and ATM cash withdrawals will affect the remaining balance of your card limit.

Customers desiring higher limits, will need to complete level 3 verification in a timely manner in order to avoid any service interruptions.

Please contact Support if you have any questions.

Best regards, CoinsBank team

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7oabzl/all_bitcoin_visa_debit_cards_are_now_cancelled/

This Reddit post claims that all bitcoin Visa cards are to be canceled. Re-quoting the message:

Quote
   Dear Cardholder,

    We, WaveCrest, are the issuer of your Visa Prepaid card, which you have enrolled for through one of our program partners. Visa have today instructed us that we must close all WaveCrest issued Visa Prepaid Cards with immediate effect.

    How will this affect you?

    Your WaveCrest-issued Visa Prepaid Card will no longer function. However, as your funds were stored in your e-wallet they will remain accessible to you via your wallet provider.

    We thank you for your cooperation.

    Yours sincerely,

    WaveCrest Wave Crest Holdings Limited is an electronic money institution licensed by the Financial Services Commission, Gibraltar.
Assuming that Wavecrest is the issuer of most of bitcoin debit cards this would be very widespread. The question is, which cards would NOT be affected?

I think that https://bountyportals.com/ is worth looking through for fair rewards for ICOs and some of the best bounties. I've been looking through the platform for project's with potential and it's looking good.
