Okay would like advice on this.  Could i get say a cheap sim card from the us.. say lycamobile for 1 dollar online.  Then i activate my lycamobile sim on my iphone in the US to receive that sms number?  But would i need a plan for it or not?  I only need to do it for account verification.


But after this, would i still need this same phone number to log in everytime?  Or could i use google authy or authy from later on and i no longer need the same sms number i used to activate it?


Because im out of the US most of the time, so the us number lycamobile won't work outside the US.  Because with coinbase, i know a google voice number sms there are no issues.  But gemini does not accept a voice over ip number.  So how do you guys use gemini outside the US then?

don't most us ppl pay it no matter what?

Do most of who daytrade altcoins immediately trade the btc to usdt to lock in your profit? Because even if you made profit with the altcoin and sell it for btc... if btc then drops, well the profit you made from altcoin is not profit anymore if you were to sell the btc for usd or usdt

is that why gamecredit price went down so much?

I haven't used my nano ledger s in a while but when i connected it recently, it asked me to install or upgrade to ledger live.  Is this a requirement?  And is this pretty simple and straightforward to do?  I'm always hesistant of installing any updates for anything.

To those of you who done the FBAR, what price are you suppose to use for the highest balance of bitcoin or any crypto?  Thus say you use binance or electrum and kept btc there and had enough btc where you had at least 10k during the year and at end of year, what is the highest balance you are suppose to use?  Take the highest amount of btc you held in binance or electrum and go to coinmarketcap and look for the highest closing balance?  Or at the end of the year? Thus if you had 2 btc, well your balance at end of year would be like 14100 x  = 28200.  But it went up to 19200 at one point.  So is it 19200 x 2 = 38600?


Anyone who filed FBAR could explain?


Also they need your account number.  What account number are you giving for a wallet like electrum?  There is no email or account number associated with it as oppose to if you use an exchange like say binance.  Also are nano ledger s or trezor foreign?

HI all got a question.  I used shapeshift a while back when i traded btc for litecoin and vice versa.  I recalled when i did this, i had to pay a bigger fee compared to if i used an exchange.  Can someone tell me if this fee is based on shapeshift fee or the coin price.  Because i did recall shapeshift seems to list the prices for their coins such as btc, litecoin etc... a bit lower than the exchanges.  Can someone confirm this?  I recalled everytime i traded bitcoin for litecoin or vice versa... such as okay x btc get you x litecoin and vice versa... it was like 1.5 to 2 percent fee... is that about right?  i recalled i said if i used an exchange, i would get more litecoin than using shapeshift.  But is this fee due to shapeshift itself?  I googled and it said miner fee so this is not related to the prices of coins on shapeshift?  Like if btc was 5k on coinbase/bittrex, is it almost always lower on shapeshift?  I havent used it in a while and like to know this.

Is it based in Russia?  Does anyone know where waves is located?  I know blockchain is based in Luxomberg.

Hi thanks.  So when you do receive the coins in your electrum wallet but it shows unconfirmed... well you technically have received the coins right?  Thus even if it shows hours later etc?

Another question i want to ask.  Why can't i view my waves history such as sending/receiving waves like i could with electrum for bitcoin?  Also for the latest tranactions, it seems to only go back a week max.  So you can't check the waves wallet history from when you bought waves or sold waves whether with the old wallet which im using or the new wallet?

Hi there.  I checked it... but isn't when the transaction confirmed going to be the same time as what is shown in my electrum wallet?  I saw this for a lot of them.


Well actually because many times i would want to send btc to another site... but i did not want to touch any btc in my wallet... thus imagine back then when btc wasn't much i would request 0.5 btc from a site.  I then want to send that 0.5 btc to another site.  That site would take a bit and then send me the 0.5 btc.  I recalled when i looked at wallet, it would show that 0.5 btc added but not confirmed.  If that is the case well i technically still received it at that time right?  Because once it show like 0.5 btc received unconfirmed, its just you dont know how long it would take to confirm but you received it?

Well let say its for Us people.  I googled and there seem to be lot of cryptocurrency spreadsheet to calculate everything.  But what i want to know is if you input all your btc or altcoin transactions for the year, would it show you the exact amount of capital gain or loss though?  Thus you have to put a method like fifo, lifo, average cost etc.  Then it does the calculate for each.  Is there something like that? 


Obviously i know there are spreadsheet where you type in what coin you bought and what price and when you sold, but would it calculate the gain or loss automatically?  And you would need to put what method you are using right like fifo, lifo etc?

Hi i am looking at the history tab... not looking at the receive tab.


So say it looks like this where according to the date in the history, it shows me sending btc first... then receiving btc the next day.  But im pretty positive i had received the btc first... before sending to another site... thus it did show as received in my wallet, before i sent in the btc but it was not confirmed.  So it look something like this on my electrum wallet


feb 1   2pm  sent 0.20 btc
 
feb 1    2:30pm  sent 0.30 btc


feb 2   3pm received 0.20 btc

feb 2   3:30pm received 0.30 btc




So even though it looks like this, well its possible i received the btc on feb 1 right thus before i sent the 0.20 btc and 0.30 btc?  Because i usually almost always wait till i receive the btc first, before i send the btc to another site. 


So the timestamp that is shown on the history is the first confirmation right? 


So on electrum, it doesn't show the date and time of when i received the btc to my wallet but have 0 confirmations?

Anyone have recommendations?  If so, it basically records the transactions for you correct?  Thus that way you don't have to record the transactions by yourself and it being very complicated?

Hi all got a question.  I use to use electrum a lot to send/receive btc.  Many times i would for example request btc from a site... thus i withdraw a usd amount from there and then they send me the btc equivalent to my electrum wallet.  Then once i have that btc, i would send that btc to another site... which would be converted into fiat.



So example back then if i needed say 0.5 btc, i request btc from a site, they give me around 0.5 btc.  Then once i see it shown in my electrum wallet, the description would show as received but it was not added to my balance correct?  First off, can someone tell me what is shown on the electrum wallet when this happens?  The word isn't pending but i don't recall the word it used.  I haven't used electrum in a while.  Also i would then send btc from my wallet to another site.  Let say back then i did this with 0.5 btc and i had say 1 btc in my wallet back then.  So when i request the btc... i would then have around 1.5 btc total in my wallet.  I would be waiting for btc to show up in my wallet... then i take that 0.5 btc and send it to another site.  Thus im trying to move btc from one site to another but holding my 1 btc in my wallet without touching it per say.  What i want to know with electrum is... when i receive the btc in my wallet, it takes several confirmations before it gets added to my current btc balance right?  The other thing is i recalled when it show up in my wallet, it didn't show the exact date and time because it did not have enough confirmations right?  But then let say i would then send 0.5 btc to another site because it did show i received 0.5 btc.  



Now the big question i have is this.  Is it possible for the btc i requested and received but did not have confirmations... to show up hours later on in my electrum history?  Thus say i request 0.5 btc from a site.  They send it to me and it does show it as received but not added to my btc balance on electrum.  I know it take many confirmations.  Now i transfer 0.5 btc from my wallet to another site.  So at the end, i would have around 1 btc in my wallet when everything goes through.  Is it possible when i check my electrum wallet later on, that it shows the btc that i received... it might show it as a transaction hours later or even the next day?  But the btc that i sent to another site... it is dated earlier?  



Thus imagine i requested btc at 6pm.  The site sent me btc and it shows it hitting my electrum wallet at 6:30pm.  Now i send the 0.5 btc to another site at say 7pm and well both transactions seem to take a while.  But i'm not concerned because i still have 1 btc in my wallet in case the 0.5 btc didn't confirm first etc.



Is it possible for it to show in my electrum wallet... i sent btc to another site on that night at 9pm?  But the btc that i requested earlier and did show hit my wallet at 6:30pm but had no confirmations... to show up in my wallet the following day say in the morning or even afternoon?  


Thus it should be dated like this if bitcoin received/sent was instant but it isn't



Monday  6:30pm  btc received 0.5 btc
Monday  7:00pm  sent 0.5 btc



But instead it shows like this on my electrum wallet when i had supposedly received the btc on Monday at 6:30pm and sent the btc to another site at 7:00pm


Monday  9:00pm sent 0.5btc
Tuesday 3:00pm  received 0.5btc



I ask this because im looking at previous transactions i did a long time ago where i would request btc from a site... so i could send the btc to another site.  And i notice many times, the amount of btc i requested and sent... few times i sent that amount of btc first to another site as oppose to receiving it first.  So the reason is because of the electrum confirmations?

What is the correct link to download waves wallet?

Hi there.  What is the site to download the new waves wallet?  So you recommend keeping waves in the new waves wallet or sending it to the nano ledger s?  But it still gets leased while its in the nano ledger s?

anyone?

where did you get these coins and what wallet?  Example i have waves and lease them and i have lot of coins that seem to be airdrops?  You mean something like that?

Im still using the old waves wallet.  In my portfolio, i have coins like liquid, turtlenode, grantsbounty, wavesdesk, coffeecoin, tidex, mercury, wavesfullnode and basically a ton of other of these coins.  I know some of them i receive due to leasing my waves.  But even when i didn't, i would get these coins sent to my wallet every few day or week.  I notice some of these coins are worst a few pennies whereas some are worth like 1 percent of a penny etc.


1.  Are all these coins in my waves wallet legit?  Or some of them are fake coins?


2.  What do you guys do with these coins?  Also there's a name for these coins.  I believe they are called airdrop correct?  I notice i also got a very very tiny amount of btc and bitcoin cash here.  Does anyone know why did i receive it?  By little i meant like pennies worth.  Is it due to leasing or just having waves?


3.  Can someone who have all these coins and traded them tell me what is best to trade it for?  Thus for btc?  For btc and then usdt?
