When trying to withdraw:

Something went wrong, please contact us directly.

Yet there is no email or any way to contact them listed on their site? It's a small amount I am trying to withdraw and they can't even handle that?? So many trash websites just completely ruin bitcoin.

It's just likely an issue with hot wallet being empty. Email address (safedice@protonmail.ch) is listed on the bottom of FAQ, it's not difficult to find if you try.

You should've checked the website (and this thread) before depositing and acting like entitled cunt just because your shitty little amount is not withdrawn immediately. The main 'problem' of SD is that owner is not full-time engaged on operating the site, so all the issues get resolved but sometimes it takes a bit of time.

 

I love it, "entitled cunt" for expecting a site to be able to pay out a few hundred dollars. The 'problem' is accepting deposits when they are incapable of providing withdrawals.

"Entitled cunt" for not giving even a half-arsed effort to research the site you're sending bitcoins to and then whining like a bitch and going straight to "muh trash website, ruining Bitcoin" rant.
So no, the 'problem' is not the site being unable to process deposit, they have clean record to date. It's you not doing your homework.

2862  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoins value on: June 04, 2017, 12:33:29 PM

Just like about anything in the world. Supply and Demand. If more people are buying it price will go up,

That's correct in principle but it's too broad. OP is pretty much asking (I assume) what creates demand for bitcoins (and hence, its value).

...
and more miners there are price will go down. Simple as that.

Wrong, would make sense if you replaced "miners" with "sellers". Number of new bitcoins being created is constant and rules are set in protocol, so it's not like more miners would mine more new bitcoins. If anything, more miners (and higher difficulty/security) would drive the price up. Miners operating at small margins would be more hesitant to dump bitcoins if the price was too low and will more likely engage in speculative holding.

2864  Economy / Speculation / Re: IF eth takes over from BTC will BTC then face a relative colapse? on: May 31, 2017, 12:31:09 PM
No, why would it ?  As above described, these could work next to each other.

They could co-exist, but the problem is, Bitcoin's main advantage is its dominant position (the 'gold standard'). If it loses the No. 1 place in terms of market cap, it will become just another cryptocurrency and will have to compete with other coins, most of them are faster, cheaper and possibly even more secure (if you consider more factors than just cost of obtaining 51% of hashpower).

In other words, ETH can successfully exist as being No.2, 3, or 10 but for Bitcoin (in its current form) it's either 'No 1' or nothing.

Doesn't look very giant to me, and it's not much of an art, he just made a lousy copy of a well known logo.  Hope the 'artist' is caught and gets severe punishment for polluting the landscape.

never had a withdraw issue on polo, although during peak usage phases the withdraw confirmation email has taken a few hours to arrive.

auto-renew of loans arent working though.. whats up with that.

I just made a small withdrawal. After clicking verification email, got 'Oops, invalid url' but wd actually went through fine and quick. They have this issue covered in FAQs, if anyone gets the 'Oops' screen - just ignore it, it still gets verified.

My transaction is stucked almost 2 weeks now. Yeah, probably cos of small fee...
Is there a way I can revert this, or increase fee, or anything..?

If your fee was at least 0.0001 per KB, then try this service (free):

There's also this one, when you can pay with $ (credit card) to push the stuck tx through (if you're that desperate):

It's not just Bitcoin anymore...

The price of Bitcoin, a digital currency once located at the fringe of finance, has been rising to new records in recent months as digital assets move into the mainstream.

On Tuesday, it shot past $2,200 (£1,700), more than doubling from just two months ago. And a newer currency, Ethereum, has climbed even faster.

That's 3 years from now. In cryptoworld that's like eternity. Anything can happen to Bitcoin by then, it can crash and burn, or rise to unimaginable level, the algo could change by then together with block reward distribution etc. Way to soon to be asking such questions.
2870  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Transaction fees on: May 10, 2017, 02:10:07 PM
This is daylight robbery if you ask me.... they worked in the maximum fee to make sure people will never struggle to get their transactions

confirmed, but the mempool are not 100% full or congested 24/7. They are too lazy to adjust the fee to correspond with the situation, so they

just set it to the maximum. Wow.... this is sad to see people being exploited like this.  Angry

That's not a 'maximum' they could set it much higher if they wanted to.

In the post above, I suggested they should be using dynamic fees, but on the second thought, it may not work well with their business model. Since they don't know when exactly the customer will be depositing altcoin (and since they allow re-use of deposit addresses) they won't be able to properly inform the user on what the fee will be. So it boils down to whether they should keep users uninformed or just overcharge them a bit.

Other thing to consider is their average tx is probably of large size, as their hot wallet likely consists of huge number of small-to-medium size deposits, as well as they probably don't want to charge different customers with different fees.

0.0021 is probably an overkill, but if they do want to keep sending with high-priority and maintain unified fees - they'd have to charge at least in ~0.0015 range anyway.
2871  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Transaction fees on: May 10, 2017, 12:24:58 PM
After i check their services, it's not only bitcoin transaction fees, but also their own exchange fee. If you don't like their high fees, then try other exchange which have lower fees.

No, it's not. Their service fee is factored in their exchange rates.



The 0.0021 btc fee is flat. They set it way too high, not to mention that it should be dynamic (ideally with priority options to choose by user).
It's all explained in their FAQs:

https://shapeshift.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000418010-Why-is-the-BTC-miner-fee-so-high-

Quote
...
To avoid this, ShapeShift uses a flat miner fee of 0.0021 BTC for every Bitcoin transaction we facilitate regardless of the size of the transaction. This relatively high miner fee ensures that our users are able to receive their funds as quickly as possible without experiencing delays due to network congestion.

Withdraw worked for me. Large amounts.

Withdrawal worked fine with me within my withdrawal limits.

In my opinion people should be a little bit more patient. It is obvious Polo is dealing with huge traffic right now, currently online over 30 000 users and probably a fair share of them are executing trades so the site becomes slower. Not to say it is better in slower days...


Good to hear. Guess withdrawal issues were random and they got through fine for most.

No wonder Polo's capacities got maxed out, The amount of altcoin shilling (even outside of bitcoin/crypto forums) is at all time high. The number of newcomers is even higher than in 2013 it seems.
2873  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][EXCHANGE] Poloniex - Crypto Exchange with BTC/NXT on: May 09, 2017, 03:16:03 PM
is this the main Poloniex thread in Bitcointalk?

After all these problems lately it is becoming scary to trade here...

It is the official one, but the thread was abandoned long time ago. No one from Poloniex staff replies here any more, but you can always share your experience or get advice from other forum members.

Yes, delays in withdrawals and no replies to tickets are concerning af, hopefully it's just temporary. They claimed to be under ddos attack and there's an announcement about "abnormally high traffic" on site. That could cause some disruption and backlog in resolving tickets.

2874  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: For New Investors - The 3 Percent Bitcoin Rule on: May 09, 2017, 01:34:33 PM

Can you provide any rationale for the 3%? Or is the number just taken out of nowhere?

Why not 1%, 5%, 10% or even 20%?

And I must be missing a point, how would the rule prevent the Dallas bitcoinaire from selling 97% of his stash at ridiculously low price? He would still feel regret, not to mention that (according to the rule) he vouched to hold the remaining 3% forever, so won't be ever taking any advantage of the price rise, unless he decides not to follow the rule.

For this specific example, the "sell half each time the price doubles" (or variation of it) seems way more appropriate.
While that specific percentage is meaningless, it is repeatable.

For example, you have 1000 Bitcoin and the price is $1.  You sell 970 of it, and five years later the price is $1000.  You sell 29.1 of it, and five years later the price is a million (much less likely  Wink).

No real reason to only hold 3% though.  With any stock I would only sell a small part at a time.

That would make a bit more sense, but that's not what the linked article is saying at all. Instead, we got this:

Quote
He won’t try to out-think himself here with these 3 Bitcoins; he will simply keep them forever in a combination of wallets. The other 97, he may sell, then buy back later, or use, but his 3 Bitcoins will never be touched.

So clearly, the author's intention was not for the rule to be repeatable.

OK, since a) this topic has gotten way more attention than it deserved, b) there's no interesting discussion going on (just people bumping their post count) and c) I really don't want this to be my most successful thread to date - I'm locking it.
2877  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Macron supporting bitcoin? what does it mean for us? on: May 08, 2017, 02:43:07 PM
There is this new picture around the internet about the new French president holding a Ledger Blue (which is bitcoin hardware wallet).

I doubt Its fake because It was posted by Ledger themselves (on Twitter) and since they are based on Paris, I believe It somehow make sense. So, what does it mean for us and can we expect some rules that could help boost bitcoin? I know that some might say that he is just a corrupt president trying to hide stuff using bitcoin.

He likely just showed up at some new-tech related event to score few popularity points before the elections. Posing for the photo with the device is hardly 'supporting bitcoin'.

No, it won't change anything for the Bitcoin in France (great PR for Ledger Blue though), other than legitimising it for the masses. But don't wait for Macron to propose any special regulations making it easier for French bitcoiners, unless such are proposed and approved on the EU level.

There's probably more chance of positive news coming from UK.

whats going on, currently i have 100btc in polo, this is not the 1st withdrawal, and seems often stuck, i don't think this is coincidence
what's going on?
...

They had some server issues in the last day or two, but 9 days of wait with no response is just alarming. What's your verification level, is it possible that you went over the daily limit?
Have you tried to catch any of the mods on chat (trollbox)?

I'm having trouble getting a reply from support as well. Ticket has been open for close to four days now, with no response.

Are you having issues with withdrawal as well?

Hello SafeDice
I am a frequent player at your site and today I made a very big mistake, and I am wondering if you could help me.
I am use to setting odds on most dice sites (e.g 2.2x, 2.5x, and so on)
Today I was playing and was supposed to play 2.2x (double every loss) I was in a very big rush
I accidentally played 2.2% odds instead
See screenshot below:


I did not mean to do this, it is obvious I was supposed to be playing 2.2x odds, I thought I was just unlucky not to win until I looked and realized I was playing 2.2% CHANCE and not 2.2x ODDS....

I am asking for a refund on this loss, I did not mean to do this and I am asking for staff to look into my case. $5700 is a lot of money to me, If i lose from my own gambling it is fair enough, but I did not mean to play 2.2% chance and I would have won on second roll if I played my intended 2.2x odds.

I am asking for some compensation at least. I am happy to donate 0.1BTC for my mistakes, I will even roll in this pattern again just to prove myself.

Please look into my case admins

Admin can't really refund you anything. You lost due to your own mistake. Your loss is the investors' profit (as the bankroll is crowdfunded). By issuing refund, admin would either have to steal from investors, or pay you from his own pocket. None of these will happen.

I know you're telling the truth and feel sorry for your loss, but you just have to accept it. I've made a similar mistake once before and I know how it feels.

And I'm pretty sure that if you happened to win at 2% chance, you wouldn't even be considering​ returning the money to the site. Sometime ago other player made the same kind of mistake, but he won and took the vast majority of bankroll with him. Things can go either way.
2880  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Be careful with Tether! Missing funds. on: May 05, 2017, 02:17:18 PM

Hi ,

I am plannig to transfer some bTC from teather,,  were your problem resolved ? would you recommend USDT.?
 

Tether (USDT) is a cryptocurrency redeemable for USD at 1:1 rate (+fees). You don't transfer bitcoins to/from tether, you can only exchange btc for tether.

Apparently there are still some issues with it, as the exchange rate is still below $1 (currently $0.95 as per coinmarketcap.com), that's quite a good indicator of something being wrong (they have some problems with banks blocking their transfers afaik)
