What's the best success anyone in the U.S. has had with a BTC or multicrypto debit card that doesn't have a monthly fee? I know there's a few, I'm still trying to suss out which card has the best success of use rate.
That'd be hard to spot but for US only cards I think that Coinbase's Shift card might be the winner. It came out early and was promoted by them, being the biggest bitcoin company. It got quite a bit of support from US bitcoin users so right now it might be among the top used ones among the numerous alternatives. |

So the moment people realize that dollar bills are actually just a specially designed paper, and nothing more than that. And they can create their own specially designed paper too, will be worth 0, NADA of course... hence dollar bills will also be worth 0. So people stop using dollar bills and go back to the barter system.
That's your logic?
Well valuation does depend on how you perceive something, so the logic is true. The thing is, it will never come to that. BTCBTCBTC has always been associated with money and will always be associated with money. That's correct but also depends on one's perception of money and how mainstream alternatives are. Currently most markets that accept BTC as currency base their prices on FIAT against BTC but that could change for certain markets if say for example that bitcoin somehow became more popular than USD. |

US based users have some good US oonly options that are hard to ignore. Have you been through the list from my OP.?
The reputable ones are also the ones requiring the most information out of you. The problem is the U.S. based ones are restricted by the American government to ask for all of the information for the KYC regulations. It's not so much that I am concerned with staying private or anonymous, but more that I simply do not trust them with my information. The same problem caused me to stop using Coinbase as well, once they got hit with the regulations. There are also others that have more fees than what my uses are worth. Anonymity is something users are willing to give up on for better pricing on BTC/USD rates and fewer card fees. Same incentive behind signing up for a bitcoin exchange vs doing p2p trades. Makes sense. I would be willing to give it up as well if I had another choice. Are you U.S. based? If so, which one out of all the ones you have tried would you recommend and trust with your personal information? Considering you are the OP in this thread, I would assume that you've got a pretty good idea of how the different providers compare. Of course, this is just conjecture, but I would still appreciate your input. Additionally, how much information do they usually ask for? Besides full name and address, is actual identification proof asked for? How about even more sensitive items such as social security numbers, and how can one be sure that these won't be compromised either by the provider itself or by a hacker obtaining access to their database? Is there any sure way to know the information is actually secure or are we just left hoping that it is? That's really the only reason I don't trust these sites. Not US based but I've used Coinbase in the past as a bitcoin bank and convenient way to quickly exchange bitcoin and they're also the biggest bitcoin company so I'd say that I trust them. Their debit card service is available to US residents and has some of the most attractive fees. I'd say give it a try if you're after a card that you'd use regularly for POS purchases, there are good comments all around about it. KYC/AML info required is usually full name and address, sometimes with verification (Driver's license, utility bill) but can vary per provider. You'll see those when signing up in most cases. |

Where did the withdrawal originate from? Have you received any response from Crypto Capital? Perhaps more details should be laid out, and if the problem persists I'd recommend posting in the regular scam report format. There's not much info about crypto capital but if you really feel like they scammed you it'd be worthwhile to inform other users about the details. |

BTC-E is a long running exchange. They sure have a system for account recovery in place and it shouldn't be hard for users to utilize it. What has been their response to you so far?

No way to do such a thing. BTC-E does off-chain logistics. The balance shown in ethereum's blockchain does not reflect user balances for reasons of fee avoidance and anonymity as all exchanges do. Go through with BTC-E's procedures to regain access to your account, that's your best hope.

If no one runs the software (waiting for others) how it will became the majority?
Pick a side and vote for becoming the majority if you care for BTC or sell all and wait if ...
Sure, but users alone aren't the economic majority. Companies and miners play an important role in the economy. IMO this newly coined term for economic majority unjustly leaves out miners. You can see here the services that are supporting/ready for UASF: https://coin.dance/poliThere is a decent amount, and note that some exchanges and services didn't make any announcements regarding their standpoint from this whole fork story so we should wait more. In the meantime, anyone supporting UASF, should run a full node. Is the data in this website to be trusted? |

Still nothing from Paycent.io apparently, you may want to consider removing them from the list or adding them into pending or something. All they are doing is retweeting irrelevant stuff from other bitcoin projects while not giving any news regarding theirs.
Yup, this is odd for a startup tp be going under in such a way with no update. Will be removing them from the list very soon. |

UASF.co advocates thst users should not run UASF software unless the economic majority shows support to UASF. How should users check this?

It looks like the price data has not been changing since about 4:50 UTC this morning. It is about 11:35 UTC now.
SAame with coincap.io, what's going on? Are those two using same data calculation methods or sources? |

Now with the wallet fee lowered to half, is there any good incentive to keep using outside wallets for miners that are unable to reach hashrate for daily 0.1 BTC payouts?

Anyone following the card ICOs? How are they turning out so far? Do you think any promises will be delivered?
I'm following Monaco card and honestly, It sounds very promising and It could become #1 with no competitors If they actually deliver what they promised, the funding part was taken care of so all in place right now, It's now just a matter of skills from the developers part. That's proven to be a burden in pasr projects like for example mycelium's wallet. No amount of funding can guarantee the honesty of developers. I'm hopeful that dishonesty won't prove to be the case. |

Waves is so far being met with mild success mostly due to bitcoin's large rally. All ICO tokens and altcoins are heading down in the long run and it is no exceptions. Tokens within its platform will be the first to fall as speculators start flooding out of its platform.

It's quite risky. There can be no guarantee that the price wouldn't fall or that difficulty wouldn't rise all of a sudden. You could hedge the risk of the difficulty rising by spending some of your cash to buy some currencies you're interested in but that's only if you're betting on a continuation of the bull market.

does anybody tried it?
im waiting for my payout since 30 minutes, its not on the blockchain and nobody takes the call
Mistertango is legit but the exchange currently being worked on that's connected to the bank service still seems to be under some changed to improve it. |

And the horrible term sheet, essentially they're saying they owe nothing to anyone
who are those people who buy in to it??
That makes me so sad and worried
Really the people that bought late with Ethereum are greedy speculators that are led by the market's bullish mood into such decisions. They're in for the quick profit and don't mind risking getting burned as long as there's high promise for returns because they think that the market can sustain such ridiculous levels forever. |

Grey market keys usually don't go for nearly as much as stem prices are, even to their low point. Provided that the origin of those is unknown, one would either spend a couple of bucks more to get em legit directly from steam.
