2581  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / SafePal resellers on: February 12, 2021, 09:35:50 AM
I tried to buy a SafePal but even though my country was listed on the site, I couldn't order it. I can obviously use a package forwarder company, but that's going to cost a lot and I'm not willing to pay extra, especially when the hardware wallet is not that expensive.

So I was wondering... Does anyone here know some reputable online resellers that I could order from?

Therefore it's safe to store your All crypto...

The safety of your funds has very little to do with the people behind the wallet. It's the security of the device (phone) you're using to store your money that you should be worried about.

الحلول الاخرى هي مجرد مضيعة للوقت. عليك اما تجرة حظك مع viabtc او الانتظار.
على الاغلب سيتم تاكيد المعاملة مع نهاية الاسبوع كما جرت العادة  Smiley

يمكن للأخ محاولة ارسال TXID الى موقع ViaBTC على رأس كل ساعة لفرصة أكبر:  https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator?lang=en_US

لكن  الأمر شبه مستحيل في رأيي خاصة مع وجود أكثر من 100،000 معاملة عالقة و الربوتات التي تقوم بارسال معاملات بطريقة أتوماتكية.

Well, if their payment gateway does not require kyc, and the wallet is different from the binance account. I mean if its independent of the current account since binance is known about this, the same to their mining pool.

Like you can just import the xpub of your wallet to generate address then I guess that would be better and I maybe try it (currently using blockonomics).

I doubt it would be non-custodial. I'm expecting something similar to PayPal.me where one has to give his username (or email/phone number) to be able to receive funds.

Edit: I didn't knew they released it already, so as guessed : https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/d6fabc736d1f4e7fb60e56afe6d1f3b9

Apparently, the feature will be built-in inside the exchange phone app. This is no different from doing an "internal" transfer with another binance's user using his address. It's just a more convenient way.

Using your Electrum wallet seed, follow these instructions[1] to restore your wallet inside ElectronCash.

Or, you can also export the private key of the address that contains the funds (by right clicking it and choosing "private key") and then sweep[2] it in Electron Cash.

Are you sure you copied the address without editing it? If so, ask the recipient to double check it and send it again (assuming that it's not an service/exchange).

And yes, it's safe to share your address online but we'll be able to see your transactions and balance.
2587  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How many ways are there to buy USDT with BTC on Binance? on: February 08, 2021, 02:06:17 PM
I believe the "Convert" option is the same thing as the trade page, it just uses a more "friendly" interface.

If you want to save on fees while trading, make sure that you're holding BNB in your spot wallet and when you withdraw, choose the USDT TRC20 option instead of the ERC or omni token.
2588  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Old users in BITCOIN.org on: February 08, 2021, 10:27:41 AM
Can you remember or do you happen to know what site could that time work as an exchange with a similar name, using e-mail address to login ?
I remember that I was login in using my e-mail and password to purchase or send BTC to others using paysafe card.
That was around 2009-2010.
I'm 90% sure that it was BITCOIN.ORG but I may be mistaken.
Thanks for your reply anyway !

I'm not sure honestly. The only (old) website that I know which used to accept Paysafecard is Virwox.com but, based on what you said, it's probably not it:

- The site started accepting bitcoin in 2011.
- A user must his his username instead of email to login.

You can try and google image the site to see if it's the one.

Head to your profile page -> click on "Merit". Here's the direct link to your stats: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=2718233

If you're ever going through a profile of someone with a lot of merits, and you wanted to go beyond the 120 days limit and filter them for instance, you can use BPIP.
2590  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Old users in BITCOIN.org on: February 07, 2021, 12:09:15 PM
I wasn't around during that period of time, but I'm pretty sure that you're mistaken. AFAIK, Bitcoin.org has never provided a wallet service.

You're probably referring to MyBitcoin.com? If so, then as explained here[1], the site is no longer operational.

In a previous post, you were offering a service to help people recover their passwords: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5315325.0

And now you're asking for one? It almost feels like you're trying to act as a middleman, just so you can charge wallet's owner an extra fee.
2592  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Which of the 3 Windows versions is best to install? on: February 06, 2021, 11:02:25 AM
You can go with either Standalone Executable or Windows Installer. It doesn't make much difference since you can always restore the wallet using your seed instead of the wallet.dat file.
2593  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think about exchanging your bitcoin for stablecoins? on: February 06, 2021, 08:50:42 AM
I would only use them to take advantage of the price volatility and make some profit. I wouldn't recommend storing it for a long period of time.

As for which one to use, then it's just a matter of preference but I'd go with BUSD (on the binance smart chain) or USDT (TRC20) since Ethereum's fees are way too high at the moment.
2594  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Couple of Blockchain.info issues/questions on: February 05, 2021, 02:14:08 PM
I have always held my Bitcoin in a blockchain.info wallet. When I started buying XBT in 2013, I did some research and it seemed to be the best variant. Now I have a number of issues.

1. When I go into "wallets and addresses", I see that my XBT and BCH are all in "Imported Bitcoin Addresses. Imported funds are not protected by your Secret Private Key Recovery Phrase. To ensure these funds are secured, please transfer them directly into your wallet."

I never paid attention to this before. It seems strange to me, because I imported my crypto from a Kraken exchange back in 2013 and, to my mind, all funds must be "imported" at some stage. It is like a bank account. You deposit money at the start and then as time goes on... I see that to transfer the funds to the address which IS protected, you need to pay a small commission, correct?

2. On the subject of your recovery phrase, mine is 16 words and not 12. I cannot see how this can be changed without telling people, possibly creating problems.

3. On a side-note, when I log into my wallet using a Chrome browser on a PC, only part of your screen appears on my screen. So I am not actually able to sign out or scroll to the right or down (for example, to change the language).

Are there maybe better options now or is a blockchain.info wallet still the best way to go?


1. That's correct. You can also export the private keys and import them elsewhere (not very recommended). That way, you won't have to create a transaction or pay any fees.
2. They did an upgrade a few years back and they're now using BIP39 to create wallets (which most wallets use) instead of their own system.
3. I can browse the site just fine. It's probably something from your side, try to disable extensions if you have any.
4. Stay away from exchanges and web wallets. You should either go with Electrum (desktop wallet) or a hardware wallet if storing large amounts.

great work, if you have the time to add another property for each: Allows virtual cards only? Yes/No

AFAIK, none of the mentioned cards offer virtual cards (not anymore at least) except for AdvCash (EU customers) and GetSpendl (worldwide). Therefore, I don't really think that's a property worth adding.
2596  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Funds went missing on a transfer from Binance to Coinbase on: February 03, 2021, 03:54:46 PM
I am in the same boat. I am newbie to cryto trading. I transferred USDT from Binance to Coinbase (not Coinbase wallet). Binance shows the status as completed but I didn't receive it in Coinbase. Submitted requests to both Binance and Coinbase and awaiting the response. After looking at the blogs I am doubtful if I am gonna get any from these exchanges. Please help me if there is a way to retrieve the funds

Unfortunately, and since you didn't send the funds to the wallet, but rather the exchange, there is nothing you can do to recover the funds. Your only hope would be to contact the Coinbase support and ask them. I doubt they would be of any help though, unless the amount you transferred is big.
2597  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How to buy online from US if you're EU citizen? on: February 03, 2021, 03:39:15 PM
Easy answer:  Wink

-snip-

Some of these services can buy stuff in US for you with theyr card and ship it to you whereever you want.

These solutions are not that good, not when you're trying to save anyway. Most of them limits their shipping carriers to DHL and FedEx which are quite expensive.
2598  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [List] Gift cards providers on: February 03, 2021, 03:13:55 PM
Can someone try to visit and see if they could successfully access "CardCash" with an IP from the US? I wanted to suggest it to someone for selling their gift card but I keep getting "Error 1020 Access denied" when I'm using a VPN with an IP from the US [both normal and dedicated IPs].

I'm not aware of any other sites that allow you to sell your cards, but... I've tried using a VPN (ZenMate chrome extension) and it appears to be working fine, I looked through the site for a few minutes (without creating an account) and no error messages showed.

Just a quick Bitrefill-Update: There is a fee of 0.0001 BTC for top-ups below 0.004 BTC on Bitrefill.
-snip-

Anyone knows if this is still the case? Because that message is not showing in my end.

What's a compatible desktop wallet for a Chromebook? I don't think I can download bitcoin core. If i go get another computer and want it to be my offline wallet storing computer, do I just download whichever desktop wallet I'm going to use and then disconnect it from the internet and not use that computer for anything else other than sending and receiving coins? I got into researching bitcoin in 2015/2016 and invested some capital in 2018 and now I'm interested in learning more about cryptocurrencies again so I will have lots of questions to post and threads to read through and appreciate any support. Thanks.

If you were to store bitcoin and not use it, then I would've recommended a paper wallet, it's a way cheaper option. But since you're planning to spend from it on a regular basis, then as suggested better it would be better (security wise) to get a hardware wallet instead.

If you're not storing much though, then I don't see any harm in using a (non-custodial) extension/web wallet. See Guarda[1] and Magnumwallet[2].

What about cashapp and applepay?  If so, how many days can someone reverse it?

They're both reversible. It may not be as easy as PayPal, but it's still possible.

As a rule: If the a payment method balance can be topped up using a credit card or a bank accont, then you shouldn't use it, not when dealing with BTC anyway.
