Would you ever suggest buying one on amazon assuming the seller of it has a very good rating?
2982  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Sell all to USDT when everything goes down ? on: January 27, 2018, 03:56:17 AM
Thats what i thought of it as well.  Because when you do that, that way you can buy more of the same altcoin?
2983  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Is Ledger Nano S REALLY SAFE ?? Best Hardware Wallet ? on: January 27, 2018, 03:51:34 AM
When exactly did you buy the ledger where you got it that quickly?  Where are you located?

So you would suggest not buying one on amazon.com then right?  So basically as long as you reset it, then its no problem no matter what?
2984  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Separate Computer for Bitcoin/Financial Information vs Personal? on: January 27, 2018, 03:37:48 AM
I like to add to this.  If i were to get a separate computer to do things such as download porn/stream tv shows and sites etc... what would you recommend?  A regular laptop or a chromebook?


Also someone mentioned that even if you use a separate computer... if you were to use your regular internet connection, a virus could still get to your network?  For example on the laptop i mainly use, i would be using my own internet connection.  But with the separate computer, even if its a different computer and i download porn/visit dangerous sites etc but i use my own internet... then its possible to get hacked?  So i would need to use another internet connection to download porn/stream tv show and sports etc?

Would you guys say a chromebook is good to store bitcoin wallets and other altcoin wallets?  Or just get a small size computer with windows?
2986  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How long is shipping time from Ledgerwallet.com? on: January 26, 2018, 05:30:03 AM
Anyone ordered it recently to the US can tell me how long it took?

How long does it take to receive it from the official site?

2989  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Sell all to USDT when everything goes down ? on: January 17, 2018, 10:18:29 PM
First off, I'm talking about say imagine you want to buy 2 different altcoins.  But these altcoins at the moment, the price is too high.  You want to buy it at lower price etc.


Im not talking about selling it because of a dump.  Im talking about right now you want to have usdt on hand to buy altcoins.  So in order to do this, you obviously need btc since you cannot buy altcoins with usd or usdt.  You need btc.  So you buy btc... then immediately sell it for usdt regardless of what the price is.  Thus you wait for altcoin price to drop... then once it hits the price you want to buy it at, you then buy btc with the usdt and then buy the altcoin with the btc.  The thing is if you could just buy altcoin with usdt etc... then obviously you are not going to go through that step of converting it to btc first.


The thing is... anyone that buys altcoins need to buy btc first because you cannot go from usd or usdt to altcoin.  In my example, what do you mean trust your supported coin.  Im not supporting btc here.  Im supporting the altcoin.  Having btc is the only way to buy the altcoin.   Also say you want to have usdt on hand when a new altcoin is out or news about it comes on this forum and you want to buy.  If you have usdt... then you could buy it pretty much instantly.  If you are holding btc... then not only do you have to sell it... you might be selling it at a lower price than you got the btc from.  But if you sell the btc the moment you buy it... well the price should be around the same etc and you probably lose very small due to the percentage etc.  Lets put it this way.  Let say i have usd in my bank account right now and i want to spend 5000 dollars on a few altcoins.  Well in order to do this, im going to have to buy btc... which would take a while because you cant get btc instantly if you are using say coinbase etc.  So if you dont have usdt or btc on hand, you cannot buy altcoins instantly.  With btc... look at what has happened.  Altcoin prices dropped a lot so you could get ready to buy... but if you are using the same btc you are holding... that btc price dropped around same percentage.  5000 usd worth of btc would get you around the same amount of altcoin assuming both dropped at similar rate.

I had a thread on this as well. 


So when are a waiting to buy coins on a dip, isn't just making sure you have USDT on hand whether its on bittrex or binance very important?  Someone mentioned you should not sell your btc for usdt to do this.  So let say you don't sell btc for usdt.  Well now you look at all the altcoins and prices dropped.  However, if you use that btc you want to buy altcoins with now... that btc has basically dropped in price in terms of percentage similar to the altcoin.  So even if you buy an altcoin at a discount of say 5 dollars as oppose to say 8... you are still going to get around the same amount of altcoin for your btc if both drop similar percentages right?  Thus whatever money you have that you want to invest in altcoins, just make sure when you buy btc and get it, just sell it for usdt.  Then you wait for the dip... then once it happens and you want to buy altcoins at the lower prices, all you have to do is buy btc on bittrex/binance and then immediately buy the altcoin with the btc right?  So that way, you could get more altcoins at lower price?  Of course if btc prices goes up and altcoin goes down, then obviously it would been better to keep btc instead.  But if you are looking to buy altcoins at certain prices, then isn't making sure you convert the btc to usdt absolutely necessary?  Because say you have btc and want to buy alts and let say btc price stays the same and alt prices dropped.  First off if you were to do this, sending btc would take a while... thus don't you also want to make sure you have btc in your exchange account etc if you don't have usdt? 


Thus as long as you have usdt stocked up in bittrex or binance, then you are ready to buy the dips whenever you want?  Because if you have btc in your wallet... well sending it will take a while.  And altcoin price could go up even more.  And the other thing is when you sell it for usdt and keep it in exchange, you are ready to buy just like that etc.

What exchange do you guys buy coss from?
2992  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: will safex be the new big thing? YES! on: January 17, 2018, 12:24:17 AM
So safex was on bittrex.  Then it got delisted.  Does anyone know why?


So if it got delisted, what happens to safex coins you have in your wallet then?


Also where do you buy safex now?

2994  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitstamp Verification Time on: January 13, 2018, 05:49:26 AM
Hey all.  You need to get verified in order to withdraw money to your bank account right?


Are there any Americans that withdraw to their American bank account with bitstamp and can comment on this?
2995  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Swap bitcoin to alts on: January 10, 2018, 11:32:22 PM
Wouldnt it make sense to do this now due to btc already high price?  Its going to be really hard i think for btc to 3x now don't you think?  Thus a coin thats 1 dollar... i like my chances it going to 3 dollars.
2996  Economy / Exchanges / Re: How to contact coinbase via email? on: January 10, 2018, 11:30:46 PM
Coinbase tells me that i have to create a new coinbase account and send in verification documents again.  First off, has anyone here done this before? 

They told me its because of a known bug issue.  Anyone here have this message?  They tell me once i create new account and send in documents, they would close my old account.  My issue here is would they later say something like multiple accounts etc?


2997  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: WAVES | Ultimate crypto-tokens blockchain platform | WEEKLY AIRDROPS !!! on: January 10, 2018, 07:36:23 PM
Can someone tell me if you could sell wavenodes or not?  And if so, how much is it worth.  Such as 1000 is say 0.01 waves?

I think you mean the Wavesnode.NET tokens? They can be traded on the exchange (DEX) inside of the Waves client / wallet.


Is it where you could trade waves community coin or miners reward for waves or btc?  Because i dont see the wavesnode.net...


What is the current rate of it?  How much wavesnode would you need to get 1 wave?
2998  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum on IPhone? on: January 10, 2018, 07:31:33 PM
Hey all got a question about this.  Let say you want to have a tiny bit of btc on your iphone.  Because when you look at lot of videos of people online who go and buy things with btc on their phone as they scan the code to another phone or something similar, what program are they most likely using?  Is it breadwallet or mycelium?  I saw a video of someone in Japan who would buy things with btc by using their phone and then transferring it to another phone as payment etc.  If you have a tiny amount of btc on your phone that is generally fine?

The other thing im curious about is this that im not sure about.  I heard apple macbooks and iphones cannot get viruses or if they can, its very hard.  So is it possible if you download any suspicious links on your iphone or install some strange program on your iphone, it could be compromised and any wallet you have such as breadwallet could be compromised?  The other thing i wanted to know is this.  Let say you have minikeepass on your iphone where you store your passwords.  Keepass is what you have on your computer.  So if you download a virus/malware or click something on your iphone, then log into your keepass program... by typing in your masterpassword etc, is it possible for a hacker to see every single account/password you have on minikeepass?  Also what if you click on malware on your main computer and then you log into keepass.  Could the hacker look at every account/password you created on keepass then?
2999  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Where do you store your electrum 12 word phrase? on: January 10, 2018, 07:25:06 PM
So if you had to choose, its better to type it in on keepass as opposed to lastpass right? 


So if you upload your keepass or lastpass file on dropbox... well you still need to get the password of keepass or lastpass in order to access it.  So wouldn't that be the best way so that you would have a keepass or lastpass file backup on the internet such as dropbox in case you dont have your copy on your computer or usb etc?


Like the other mentioned... people say write your word on a seed and keep the paper safe.  Where do you keep this paper then?  Do you keep it in a safe?  Do you keep it in a safe in the bank?  Do you keep it in a drawer in your home?  Do you have the paper broken in 2 or more parts that way the one piece of paper doesn't have all the word?  The thing is someone mentioned what if there is a fire.  Well if there is, that means your computer and everything might be gone.  The other thing is what if someone breaks in your apartment or something like that and then takes your paper.  Or maybe they come and just take a picture of your seed and then leave etc.


So if this is the case, isn't what i mentioned a while back probably the best idea to do would be just type your phrase on keepass or lastpass and then upload it on dropbox?  Because that way, the person would need to not only hack your dropbox account, but they would the password to your keepass or lastpass etc.  That way you dont have to worry about your piece of paper?  Also even if you put it in a safe in a bank, there has been cases where safes have gotten destroyed in banks etc. 


Thoughts on this?  I really don't think having the entire phrase written down on a single piece of paper is good idea.  I could understand if you have it broken down in say 2 or 3 pieces etc though.  But in any case, shouldn't you have a copy of the seed online somewhere in keepass or lastpass?  That way you dont have to think about the physical piece of paper?
