Imho the "best time of the day" may give some hits to day traders, but not much else. Also if it's a "known thing" (heh) speculators may also try to take advantage of this.
If you want to buy and hold for longer, DCA tends to be the best bet. Small variation from different hours (btw, for what timezone were those hours?) will not matter.

I think that this is a bad choice of words. Nano S is the smallest, the oldest they're still selling, but, afaik, not their first.


You said that the coins can double or more on next bull run... I would say that the bitcoin may double or more, while some of the altcoins will probably turn to dust.
So (as a second thought) I would do different. I would get the Bitcoins to the hardware wallet (or, even easier, I would generate a paper wallet offline) and I would keep the altcoins on exchange(s).
Altcoins are much more volatile than Bitcoin and one may want to sell them. Fast. Bitcoin, on the other hand, tends to do great on long term.

It doesn't really matter who is selling and how old are the coins. What matters is, as usual, the amount (well, the amount over time actually). And since the amount is not so big, it doesn't matter.
Even if it's old coins and you would say it adds up on top of the usual sales, it's not a big enough amount to matter.

If you don't buy specialized hardware you don't help the network, you just "burn" electricity (which you'll probably have to pay).

Thank you all for the answers.

While some were misled and kinda insisting on (unrelated) body harm, I've got some very thoughtful answers too.


LoyceV is right and nuances are important and sometimes the language barrier can make them even more confusing.
LoyceV is also right that the newbies have to kind of pass the "test of fire" here (and most do) and Lucius pointed it out very good: explaining them when it's the case should suffice.
And the conclusion is from BitcoinGirl.Club: whether we like it or not, all this is part of the freedom of speech. Any added rule can harm that. So.. we're good as we are.


Thanks again. I will lock the topic since imho it has achieved its goal.

You can think on this: why potato prices are different at <insert supermarket 1> and <insert supermarket 2>?
Difference in fees, liquidity do matter. Even more (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong), I think that crypto.com is an OTC exchanger, hence it tends to have wider spread (higher buy price and lower sell price).

It's just another beggar spamming a lot of addresses with dust. The fact he affords to spend 22$ on this kind of move already proves he's not so poor.
I don't think that he will get anything from this move. But one can hope, right?

That's correct.


I keep telling the users: when you're not sure, report it and leave the mod interpret the rules as he thinks. Nobody's perfect.


  so true


Indeed, if one feels it's too much, then ignore is the best approach.
And if he can still handle and didn't ignore, then report what can be reported


Ouch! Maybe you take it slow/easy then for now. Time uses to solve this in a way or another.
It can end with both sides chill, it can end with death threats (hence proper ammo for actual sanctions). Maybe I should not have been saying this...

In Europe, when the papers are signed, the payment is also discussed. There are certain minimal prices and you have to declare the transaction value at least at that price.
Now the fun part begins: the values over 10k EUR must be transferred through banks.

While I know that there are estate companies that accept Bitcoin, I don't know how they make the deals. Person to person.. I find it practically impossible, unless the papers are done as donation (which is different than sale and can be easily reverted).

The way you're talking usually tells a lot about yourself. First post of yours in this topic you were lying, now this. This is the picture you're offering.
Interesting that 5 years and 3700 posts on this forums and you didn't care about its rules.

I would not be surprised if your passwords on various websites you use are not stored there either as MD5, either as SHA256/SHA512.
However, another (main) use of various flavors of SHA is to create/save CRC-like information for files/data.
Also I will add that the various SHA are also used for SSL (let's say for the HTTPS you see on all websites nowadays).

I think that it's about offer and demand. The decentralized mixers, from what I know, are costly. Also not as much decentralized and trustless as you'd think (Wasabi has a CoinJoin coordinator, you will need to trust it).
And I think that people will go where it's cheaper and it works. And ChipMixer being for free... do the math.
If there would be a need/demand for more such solutions, I think that a bigger variety would pop up. I will also add that LN is also considered nowadays a pretty good "mixer"-like approach.

Insulting is not against forum rules. Trolling is. You (and your friends) keep insisting on insulting like it would be an offense, while it's not.
In the same way you insist others ignore you (and hence leave you alone) if they don't share your views, you can also do the same about them, especially if you feel so much insulted.

We both know that all the bounty exploiters who got caught have here the opportunity to hit Royse777 while he/she's down.
It's inevitable.

Asking them about proof to show they're bullshitting is a good approach. Just make sure you don't find yourself caught in fighting the windmills

Bitcoin market has shown it goes in cycles and people do expect it to get on bull market rather soon.
With every passing year there is a bigger percent of people who is still on profit even in the middle of crypto winter (2017 ATH was under 20k, remember?), hence a bigger percent of people is calm and call for calm.

So as long as one doesn't do anything stupid (like investing in a scam or a worthless project) should be fine sooner or later.


PS. This is the view of a Bitcoiner; I will add though from my experience that one should not really count on the recovery of any altcoin, they usually perform badly on very long terms. Bitcoin is the only one (or one of very-very few) with actual good history.

There's quite some drama in Reputation board about things happening in the German forum, I don't want to get the same drama here.
While the question comes from there, it's actually generic.

If an user threatens another user (especially a rather new account) with getting him banned... is that OK? Or, better asked, should we do anything about it? (report or anything). Is a new (unofficial) rule needed?



Of course, it's a fake threatening since he has no power to do anything, but it can silence or disappoint new users coming to this forum.
Or I'm worried for nothing, since it's a situation that doesn't happen often and it's usually related to political (to say so) views, not technical, so not a big deal?

While mole0815 could be the one responsible of German board, the problem I was talking about is generic, hence I would have been preferring an answer from somebody who is not already fed up with the drama in German sub (and for good reason!).


  Interesting conclusion.
While Ignore is a great option, while I do recommend it for the sake of people's sanity, it's not the best option.
I do have my admiration for those who have the patience to counter and report the ones who fill the forum with garbage. We do need this kind of people too.

I see the army of trolls are all here now? I've seen lies, I've seen normal posts accused to be trolling, I see they want to enforce their alternate reality. Interesting.
One laughable argument I see repeated like a mantra is that this or that is disrespectful. Well, I want to tell that lying is even more disrespectful, so.. yeah..

@mole0815: I feel for you. On the other hand I am almost sure that all the bigger national communities face similar problems. How the others handle them?

Interesting project, however you're some 10 years late.

Now, if you do it for fun and your own learning, being aware about the fact it's useless, no problem at all.
I remember there was a bitcoin miner made for Commodore 64. I didn't look into it, but who knows, maybe it can help: https://github.com/ytmytm/c64-bitcoin-miner (sorry if it doesn't)

I've seen how guerilla marketing works. Those get benefits irl, not in the forum. Paid trolls may be in the same category.
And making an army of accounts for being convincing and for producing some sort of discussion look alike is part of the job.
So it's not necessarily about having too much time.


Yes, that's what I've been also trying to say.


Well, you have to do the same in the German sub. Non-German users cannot really help there.


I think that the vast majority is okay. But, like everywhere, there will be some who think that's smarter to pee against the wind.


I stopped having such an utopic view on humans. The good thing is that bitcoin has became so famous that even the worse kind of people can have account on bitcointalk and post his .. things. Good (!) or bad (!).
Those spamming and trolling definitely don't care about the forum. Expecting that (or anything good) from them is useless, really.

Although I don't follow the German board (Ich spreche keine Deutsch), I agree that the forum is full of this kind of people accounts.
I don't really have a solution for them and I don't know what can be done. If we do something we hurt the freedom of speech, if we don't.. the forum gets full of this kind of trolls.


Spam should de reported and removed at sight.
I've seen the threatening of newbies. Afaik it's not in the forum rules, it may be punishable offense. But we need mods' input in this. Cyrus is mod in Reputation, maybe he can help?
Trolling is punishable offense. But trolling may be a bit vague. Still, it's best we can do.


I've seen useful posts in the forum made by 1miau. Somehow I managed to miss all of your great contribution. So I don't share your opinion.
