How good are you at security?

Do you frequent weird and random websites, do you get a lot of popups when you browse the Internet, do you have antivirus?

If you have av and don't click random links, run random apps or visit strange sites you can probably safely store the funds yourself.

Exchanges likely don't have insurance for a loss of funds (I don't think one exists) so if they got hacked, your funds and many other people's funds are gone. Bitfinex got "hacked" a while ago and they credited everyone the dollar equivelant in a token they'd then repay. If you're happy with a random 33% of your fund sbeing liquidated and getting replaced by what could be a lower amount of payment then store them on an exchange if you really think you're incapable of keeping 12 words securely stored/a computer infection free.

I see enough expensive credit cards out there to expect they must have some market using them....

I meant more if someone got €10/0.0007 btc and saw it go to €300 for example they might naively thing it's "rise only" and swear off crypto for good.

Although I do think most of Europe has heard of bitcoin by now (especially in the west) and if they haven't bought any yet then they're not going to care anytime soon...

I just tried it and I think it did the same for me so I guess it is. Might just be a saved cookie or something because it didn't do it on incognito.

This is the same as what happened with bitmex..

I'm guessing this wasn't a hack either, and likely an employee "mistake".

Anyway there will be a large list going round now from both of those attacks (I imagine) and this one looks to have hit all users rather than the bitmex one just being for Newsletter followers.

If you're a member of that exchange it's pribably a good idea just to add anything you don't recognise to your spam folder and not to open, enable images, download anything or click links in it.

The smallest fee is with the slider all the way to the left?

Are you in btc or mbtc also - they're different units..

I think you can go to file>preferences>fees>and check the edit fees manually option but it should already be based on the mempool (at which 0.002btc seems high).

Wow! Visa are definitely the biggest payment processor in Europe afaik (not sure about the World but Europe is pretty huge in population anyway)...

Bitcoin at the moment in my opinion should see people only investing small(ish) amounts anyway so getting it as a free reward on a credit card purchase seems apt for that - as long as it doesn't cause people to buy the top.

As in the relative strength index. I thought it did but I'm not sure now.

There seem to be enough people. Trying to use it for trading - do we just assume where the indicator currently is is about where it should rest in the future. It might also be that it doesn't normally get represented by candles etc so the points can still move until the close of the price on that time frame.

Bitmex is REALLY slow. I'd suggest you put limit orders in just a bit out from the market price (like 20 below for longs and above for shorts).

It's probably bitmex's way of profiting from people or they've wrapped the liquidation engine in something to ensure that dev finitely validates they won't lose money before sorting positions.

Put a stop in before you put in the order too! They're really bad for not taking a n order after you've opened a position and you get to sit there and watch it liquidate (or get the email with the site just ocbtibually refreshing itself or freezing). 

You can use whichever you like.

Native segwit used to be less compatible a few years ago but if anyone doesn't accept it now they probably have a MASSIVE delay for security patches and bug fixes so it's probably not a good idea to use them.

The nested segwit is better for compatibility but has higher fees
Native segwit has lower fees but may suffer compatibility issues (with withdrawals it mostly used to be).

I don't think that's a feature with them, you can have multiple accounts with them afaik so you could do that instead...

If you want to use different leverages on different positions you could always do a bit more calculations and do everything in cross - as long as they're all in the same direction.

If you're after a return banks aren't great...

If you put $20 in your average bank for 5 years you'll probably have $20 or close to it. If you invest it in btc or a stock you might and probably will get more. Even just using a simple algo against selecting a stock....

You could try using bisq or the waves exchange. I think I paid a flat fee of 0.001 waves on their exchange (0.7 US cents) which sounds a lot cheaper than exodus?

I'd advise against putting the mnemonic words anywhere near an online client since it should be avoidable if electron cash is compatible with hardware.

I think the main one could be someone changing the change address you're sending too to another address without you recognising something's wrong until it's too late... They could also add another output if you don't click the advanced/preview tab and check it (not sure if it pops up by default at that point though).

I think you're better off installing electrum cash's client, create a wallet with your hardware device and modify the derivation path to your biitcoin one (whatever that was).

Provided the hw wallet is secure, everything should be safe but if you're in doubt you might want to move the funds off first.

Your address is a hash of your public key and your public key is like a remainder function being run on your private key.

Addresses have a many to one relationship with public keys (however collisions are almost impossible). 
Each address is a hash of a new public key bit all are stored in your trezor wallet.

Most people here are pseudononymous, if people know you're of a race, you've probably told them (and potentially too much).

There are rules against threatening harm which is in line with freedom of speech laws in Europe and North america (ex Mexico).

I could get onto another argument about my annoyance only black people are considered slaves by the masses. It completely invalidates most of Europe taking other Europeans as slaves.

Have you verified ID? I think they stopped allowing you to send funds without it since about 2018? If that's where the funds are that is...

What "wallet" was this? You're going to have to give us the site you used to host it with.

What have they given you? Do you have a file to send your bitcoins with?

Yeah it also implies they haven't FOUND a successful hacking attempt which might be a questionable route to take.


You normally just hit pay and then put in an account number, sort code, amount and reference and then confirm everything and the transaction is sent...


Yeah I just learnt off the community and wiki when I got here. Some courses might have been helpful but I think courses are a bit hit and miss where you could instead find a faucet that pays without you needing to deposit anything and use that money to fiddle with to understand crypto.
