Is it ok do use portable version?

It's Ok so long as you have your seeds backed up and your computer is very secure.

Some years back ThomasV made a post (Warning about portable versions) You can read through the thread.
Basically what he was saying is that the portable version won't be able a good type to use on an insecure computer plus it sort of encourages bad security practices since one can use it on any third party computer of which some may have viruses
3082  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Desktop Wallet on: February 10, 2021, 08:56:11 PM
Electrum should be good (https://electrum.org). Make sure you verify the GPG signature before you install the app just to be sure you installed the right wallet app.
You can also use: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet to help you pick a wallet the could be most suitable for you.

same here. withdrawal "completed" Grin just another scam

1. I don't get it, what's all with the reversed and completed withdrawals?
2.  Do they have any clear Terms and conditions regarding their bonus promotion on their website?
3084  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Cobinhood Exitscam - A less than honest shutdown. on: February 09, 2021, 09:19:56 PM
Now when I try to recover whatever shitcoins they have left access to, the system has "Network Errors" constantly.
I thought their exchange is now off, did you try using COBINHOOD Withdrawal Service?

There is also a customer support request form - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSczB9aPm8YBb_jeYY-qD4b9jlYMU8LyKerIXHWrlxUsFgycIg/viewform
3085  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Acquiring bitcoin: "Buy" vs "Convert" on: February 07, 2021, 09:53:18 PM
Bitcoin is not just a currency or an alternative payment gateway. It also acts as a store of value especially for traders just like Gold and other commodities like Crude Oil. Now you aren't going to say, I would like to convert my USD to Gold, are you?

It's right to say i would like to convert my JPY to USD because JPY is just a currency and can not act as a store of value
So for Bitcoin, I think buy/sell would be much suitable.

Welcome to the Bitcoin Forum  Smiley

But one cant help feel with the amount of altcoins and other projects now that new commers into crypto simply feel its pointless to start becoming interested in the technology and bitcoin itself and the Satoshi story.
Those many altcoins are just a smoke screen. You know what the real deal is, Bitcoin!
From the time Bitcoin started raising eyebrows. Altcoins come and go but Bictoin always keeps at the top


Definitely feel like a "late to the party person haha"
It's never too late buddy. I remember, I also thought about the same in 2017 when bitcoin hit $3k, Look where we are now.

3087  Other / Meta / Re: Why not create a white list on the forum for receiving PM? on: February 07, 2021, 08:44:41 PM
Sometimes a PM from the person you least expect to be of value could be quite helpful. Maybe you could have made a damaging  mistake while leaving a feedback, replying a thread, or you were mentioned in some post and the person who's not whitelisted wanted to alert you ASAP, but they are not able to.

I think ignoring or reporting unsolicited PMs should be OK.

cryptapus's representative here seems to be fairly active even in the myriad coin thread. So i think chances are very high that he will help you out on how to transfer out the XMY coins once you message him.
Another avenue you can use for asking solutions is; https://www.reddit.com/r/myriadcoin
3089  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Gate.io Now requires KYC for Deposit ? on: February 07, 2021, 07:46:00 PM
If its firstly stated on their ToS that theres a KYC for deposit and the user had failed to read it after taking such action then i can say that he do still have some mistake on this one

I don't know which ToS you read, but I read the user agreement, and they talk about not permitting deposits if there's no KYC. Not first waiting for someone to deposit their funds and then block them.

Quote

At the time of writing, it says 121,076 WBTC is in circulation.  How can that be possible?
Well I took time to calculate the Bitcoin balance in their custodial Bitcoin addresses and the amount is so close to what CMC is reporting (121,009.725 BTC). The difference is just 66 BTC, perhaps due to the incoming and out going transactions

The information about their custodial addresses and transactions to prove that their token is backed by that much BTC can be found here - https://wbtc.network/dashboard/audit

The Lightning Network only has ~1,075 BTC circulating, so I don't see why over 100x more would be locked up up in some ETH farcecoin.  Either CMC is wrong or someone is printing that stuff out of thin air.
While I am not so much into the DeFi and tokenized Bitcoin craze, It seems to have gathered a lot of attention among many crypto folks. So, I think the low figures are because Lightning network isn't that popular. For example, I must admit that I have never used it and don't know how it even works despite knowing some basics about Bitcoin for some  few years now.
3091  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Which deposit option to use on Binance?? on: February 06, 2021, 09:02:10 PM
BTC and BTC(SegWit)
If you deposit your Bitcoins from your electrum wallet onto the addresses generated from BEP2, BEP20 (BSC) and ERC20 options. You may lose your Bitcoins forever since they are different blockchains.

1. BTC and BTC(SegWit) - Bitcoin Network, This is for the real Bitcoin
2. BEP2 - Binance Chain, This is for tokens pegged to Bitcoin on the Binance chain like BTCB
3. BEP20 (BSC) - Binance Smart Chain, This is for  tokens pegged to Bitcoin on the Binance  network like BTCB
4. ERC20 - Ethereum Network, This for tokens pegged to Bitcoin on ethereum network like WBTC, tBTC, rBTC etc
3092  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Wrapped Bitcoin and its affect on supply on: February 06, 2021, 08:14:45 PM
WBTC works like this. I have 1 BTC and if I need 1 WBTC, the issuer of WBTC takes the real 1 BTC from me and then mints 1 WBTC and issues it to me. When i no longer need the 1 WBTC, I can swap it from my real 1 BTC and the WBTC I had gets burned by the issuer's smart contract. So WBTC has no impact on Bitcoin's circulating supply except tools like coinmarketcap might misinterpert the data.

The WBTC you actually see on coinmarketcap is equivalent to locked Real Bitcoin

@renegadetrader has an excellent point.

Weird how some exchanges really operate. If someone must verify with them then I guess the best approach would be to request for KYC right after one signs up. No KYC, no deposit address instead of just holding onto someone's funds. I don't know if they have any rep around the forum, but this should be a valid scam accusation. At least they should be able to send back the money to the owner if he's not willing to accept their KYC ambush.
3095  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Increase of commission and cancellation of transactions in MyCrypto wallet on: February 05, 2021, 09:59:29 PM
The ability for one  to cancel a pending on Ethereum is really a life savior if one needs to increase gas and have their transactions get confirmed faster. A number of Ethereum supporting wallets now support the ability for one to cancel appending transactions using the procedure.

1. Trust wallet  - https://community.trustwallet.com/t/pending-stuck-transactions/126
2. Enjin wallet - https://support.enjin.io/help/pending-transaction

The most commonly talked about are;
1. https://blockfi.com
2. https://nexo.io
3. https://celsius.network
4. https://crypto.com

However, I would like to do your research about the said platforms as there may be certain things you like or dislike about them.

There are some toools that can guide you as well

The new cryptios team could actually help you recover the account in the shortest time possible. Just write to them stating your problem to the recoveries email address using the original email address of the locked account

You can read through this thread

Just to give you some little confidence. I also recovered my hacked account sometime back with their help, I didn't even have a staked BTC address.
3098  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: SFP token scam warning on: February 05, 2021, 08:30:38 PM
But yesterday a users tweet that SFP token is listed on WBT exchange.
...
After that a users also reply safepal quota tweet and prove that the exchange WBT is a total scam.
Is it WBT or WBF?
I was trying to look up information about WBT exchange and came up with zero results about it. If it's a centralized exchange, then it's 100% scam. There is no excuse for them trying to list a scam token in their platform
3099  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: CoinTiger Exchange Scam Accusation on: February 05, 2021, 07:51:32 PM
We are also having problems with Cointiger withdrawals that take very long, and on which we can get no feedback from support.

Also there are for several months now no longer replies to questions sent via email, telegram, twitter, linkedin, ... to the official cointiger contacts

anybody has a recent update about the status of Cointiger ?
I doubt the scammers will do anything to return your assets just like the did in the case in the OP. It's sad that they are still actively scamming. Check this latest thread
Their profile here doesn't have any negative feedback, so I am tagging them and also creating a type 1 Flag. Please support it.

It's possible that your account has been deleted due to inactivity that's why you are not getting any response. You can test this by creating a new account using the same email address and a different password. Do it only if you don't have a significant balance in your old account.

How long does the account have to be inactive before they delete it?
I do have an inactive account from 2016/2017 and it still receives promotional mails to this date
