Coindesk twitter says SEC confirmed with them that decision will be announced today fwiw
links or GTFU here at killerpotleafLabs we have not confirmed any announcement ( coming from a relevent source ) detailing the time of the announcement. http://www.coindesk.com/sec-email-winklevoss-bitcoin-etf/The years-long process to get the Winklevoss bitcoin ETF approved is expected to come to a conclusion today, a move confirmed by an SEC representative when reached at press time. MarketWatch journalist Ryan Vlastelica reported earlier that an SEC representative had similarly confirmed the planned move.

Reading this thread seems to be one of the best ways of finding out what's going on. I noticed a day after someone posts some news here story's about it start appearing on the crypto news websites. It's almost as if their author's read the latest news in this thread, then write an article about it.

But this one does, it contains the winky's www.coin-etf.com ETF website URL. https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro/batsbzx/2016/34-79183.pdfSECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (Release No. 34-79183; File No. SR-BatsBZX-2016-30) The Exchange proposes to list and trade the Shares under BZX Rule 14.11(e)(4),11 which governs the listing and trading of Commodity-Based Trust Shares on the Exchange.12 The Shares will be offered by the Trust, which was established as a Delaware statutory trust on December 30, 2014. The Trust will only hold bitcoin, which is a digital commodity21 that is not issued by any government, bank or central organization. The value of the Trust’s holdings will be reported each day on the Trust’s website, located at www.coin-etf.com. And if I've read it right the pdf blurb you quoted (shown below) is approving the pdf blurb quoted above. They are both heavy on jargon, and I still haven't finished scrutinising them. https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro/batsbzx/2017/34-80169.pdfhttp://SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (Release No. 34-80169; File No. SR-BatsBZX-2016-80) The Exchange proposes to implement the rule changes by October 1, 2017. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,44 that the proposed rule change (SR-BatsBZX-2016-80), as modified by Amendment Nos. 1 and 2, be, and hereby is, approved on an accelerated basis.

Is this it? This sec webpage says BZX proposed a change to Rule 14.11(e)(4) to List and Trade Winklevoss Bitcoin Shares Issued by the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust. https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro/batsbzx/batsbzxarchive/batsbzxarchive2016.shtmlOct. 28, 2016 Notice of Filing of Amendment No. 1 to a Proposed Rule Change to BZX Rule 14.11(e)(4), Commodity-Based Trust Shares, to List and Trade Winklevoss Bitcoin Shares Issued by the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust This pdf says a proposed rule change (SR-BatsBZX-2016-80) is approved, but I'm not sure if it's the same rule referred to above. I haven't had time to scrutinise that pdf yet. https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro/batsbzx/2017/34-80169.pdfConclusion IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,44 that the proposed rule change (SR-BatsBZX-2016-80), as modified by Amendment Nos. 1 and 2, be, and hereby is, approved on an accelerated basis.

I notice itBit jumped up to second place for USD volume since the pump. Are OTC itBit traders pumping the price because they know something we don't?

Seen fake Reddit ETF rejections, seen orchestrated pump right now along "has been approved ??" questions, so what else awaits us?
I found a fake "it's been approved" entitled youtube video. It was only after I clicked it that I found out it contains no real news. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBmNDvP_3MoNobody seems to have any real news yet.

100 dollars up in 1minute gg.
ETF aproved or what ?
That's what I want to know too. There's nothing in the mainstream media yet, but it usually takes a day before it gets wind of anything like the ETF. A brief search of the sec website didn't get me any decision results either.
|
|
|
So SEC decision tomorrow or what?
Wow. Tomorrow it is then or is THIS fake news. (Whilst Pointing in the air like mr president does) No, they haven't studied the small print like us. They don't know about the sneaky rule that allows a delay of the ETF decision until Monday.

When its approved all the unbelievers and bears + kwuckduck will be destroyed and left in pieces for ever. It will be the day that we make history folks !
It's getting plastered all over the mainstream media already. These are the top results of a google for "Bitcoin" today. If the ETF is approved the mainstream will be shouting about it for weeks afterwards.

How much in btc?
Ahmedjadoon says he paid quickseller 0.0001 BTC last October, but Bitcoin is worth more in USD now, so quickseller might want a bigger payment. I faced a similar issue a few days back transaction not getting confirmed due to low fee but user "QuickSeller" got my transaction confirmed in minutes when I sent him 0.0001 BTC. He has access to some pool . PM him.

In the future just make sure txindex is enabled if you want to use getrawtransaction. It still works for now, and it's not definite yet that you will need to enable txindex to use it in the future. - Use of `getrawtransaction` for retrieving confirmed transactions with unspent outputs has been deprecated. For now this will still work, but in the future it may change to only be able to retrieve information about transactions in the mempool or if `txindex` is enabled.

Heya,
Cheers for the responses. Just to confirm, is there any issues transferring to USDT, holding for a while and then back into your chosen coin at any time?
I've been looking around on Polo and maybe someone can point me in the right direction of how I transfer my coins into USDT and then back out into coins? Can't see it in front of my face :-/
PS. I had a friend tell me had some issues with USDT and lost money somehow. Just want to make sure I'm using it correctly and there's no chance of losing funds, or any chance of USDT not being a 100% lock to the US $ ....
Cheers
You might find there are times when there is a big spread between the prices of USDT for sale, and offers to buy them. You might lose some money if you buy some, then quickly change your mind and sell them. There is a $4 gap between the lowest priced USDT for sale, and the highest priced offer to buy USDT today. https://poloniex.com/exchange#usdt_btc

Antpool mined a block yesterday that included a $3000 fee someone sent by mistake. He started the thread quoted below requesting help. editAntpool said it would compensate the user for his mistake out of its own pocket.

Antpool mined the block with your fee in it. You could try sending a pm to BITMAIN who started antpool's thread here, or asking what to do in the antpool thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855548.0You might also consider starting a thread about it in antpool's forum. https://enforum.bitmain.com/If you registered on antpool's site you could send it a ticket here. http://support.bitmain.com/What wallet were you using? The whole community should avoid that wallet like the plague. Most wallets would at least warn you before paying a sky high fee, the same as they would warn you about a low fee. I sent a pm to BITMAIN on the OPs behalf informing him of the situation. Hopefully he'll get back to the OP and come to some arrangement. BITMAIN hasn't logged in since the 7th and might be unaware of the OPs mistake.

i almost sold the top, with the idea of "sell the ETF news before it news" but i was keeping busy with other things, and besides i think the ETF has a good enough chance to pass, and the up side in that case IMO is monumental,
If you sold at the top there's a slim chance the ETF might unexpectedly get approved early leaving you bag holding fiat while Bitcoin goes to the moon. We all expect it to drag out until the 13th but for all we know it could get approved today.
