I had a problem with account verification because of non-English character. After a month passed without any reply from support, I mentioned about the problem over twitter. Even I don't have more than 10+ follower, they sent an e-mail to and they said they are about to hire more people to their support team. Probably they found my e-mail address by ticket number. And a week later my verification was completed.

Yeah but, you shouldn't have to verify yourself in order to withdraw cryptos, that's pretty stupid and the fact that they did it without any kind of notice is suspicious. Any other exchange has a limit on how much cryptos you can withdraw without verification but all of them let you withdraw at least something.

Just look at it like an investment, you are essentially buying the ICO. Do your research on the ICO like you normally would or search for ICO stats websites. Pay attention to the team and if they have a working product and if everything checks out, then join the bounty. Don't pay too much attention to the price they list because no one knows if they are ever going to get listed on any exchange.

Still waiting for Bittrex to support the xmv coin!

Do you even read anything here? How can you use them as your exchange when this topic is literally filled with thousands of complaints of people. ''My ticket 433011 was created on Nov 12 / 2017 and is still disabled (although numerous reminder / requests have been sent)'' Even to this day, they still haven't solved their issues, it's insane.

Would you mind posting the TxID and the address of your verge wallet. Does binance website say the transaction is complete? Usually binance sends a few other transactions at the same time, that's why you probably see other addresses.

Don't use crappy exchanges to trade. It works fine for me. I doubt they would steal your money, you think they care about you enough to personally steal money just from you? There is not much you can do except waiting for them to respond.
347  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Anywhere to see how much an ICO has raised after it's closed? on: April 23, 2018, 07:24:14 PM
There are plenty of websites mate. https://icodrops.com/ico-stats/

Click on each ICO and you can see how much they raised and their goal. I'm sure they have most of them but you can always search google for ''ico stats''

Did the finally solve the thousands of tickets about verification and thousands of disabled accounts? It's quite remarkable that people are still using them after that incident. I consider them extremely unreliable, close to a scam.

I agree, crypto is extremely strange space, and bittrex story must be one of the strangest in an already strange landscape. Bittrex is not 'close to a scam' it IS a scam, there are unambiguous cases of theft on a mass scale, it's just the Bitcoin bubble and associated greed creates this weird situation where despite the clear evidence of bittrex stealing user funds, so many noobies are scrambling to get access to the 'gold rush' that they've collectively suspended both common sense and morality.

Bittrex is an outlaw exchange, probably in cahoots with USA government.
I think Bittrex is a safe exchange so far. I do not have any constraints after 3 years of struggling here.
His support is very responsive and communicative.

Indeed yesterday there was a little problem in terms of account verification for some members but it has been solved in Bittrex gradually.
What disturbed me was how they delisted some coins that were not explained for what reason.

no exchange is safe especially one like bittrex that would steal/lock up your coins without warning!!! :\

imho : they deserve to have EVERYTHING taken from them + class action lawsuit inkoming .
Yes, it is true there will be no safe exchange because there is always a problem in every exchange.
But I'm sure if we do not do anything suspicious then the exchange also will not freeze or take our coin.
And do not use VPN to log in to exchange, it's suicide.

Stop thinking, you are not good at it.

They already fucked up a few months ago, locking people out of their accounts for no reason for months, they are unreliable.

Once the volatility becomes more or less 'manageable', and the infrastructure is ready to stimulate usage as currency, people will definitely do so. I am quite certain that with LN being easy to use for each and every participant of this ecosystem, global merchant/store acceptance of Bitcoin will increase, and with that increase people will have more possibilities to actually spend their coins, instead of converting them to fiat to buy whatever they need. Bitcoin with LN and potentially other offchain scaling layers will be more than enough to do the job; I honestly don't see any altcoin being able to do a better job in that aspect. LN offers instant payments, low transaction fees that almost look like theft, insane transaction processing capability, etc. Seriously, what can an altcoin do to come even close to that? Nothing.

If altcoins don't serve an actual purpose like what Monero is doing or Ethereum, there is really no place for them in here. Litecoin is a redundant altcoin as well, but it is still somewhat of a testbed for Bitcoin. It was considered to be the Silver back in the days, where Bitcoin is Gold obviously, but I don't know how people think about Litecoin right now with so many other coins being around.

We are still far away for the volatility to stop. Anyone with 10 million or more in bitcoin can't really liquidate his position without moving the market quite severely. There is also too much variance in the perceived bitcoin's value, it's really hard to ''calculate'' the intrinsic value of bitcoin considering that it really doesn't exist.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/2018-mature-crypto-market-will-draw-more-investment-see-less-volatility-analyst-says

Obviously as an investor you understand there are risks but out of all the exchanges out there, i can think of 2-3 that I would personally trust with my money and in my case we are only talking about thousands, imagine a big player with millions using etherdelta or some other retarded exchange, no way that will ever happen. Even big exchanges like bittrex, not long ago, they fucked up and made everyone wait months and months to get your account enabled or verified. Why would any big player invest in crypto when the risk is so huge, there is literally zero safety, any exchange can run away with your money and you can barely do anything.

The risk of exchanges exit scamming, getting hacked, etc. can easily be negated by not keeping your coins on exchange - even active traders can just move coins in and out every time they want to do a trade.

Next, the term "big investors" can be kinda ambiguous, because I'm sure there's a lot of big companies and rich individuals who invest into Bitcoin with relatively small amounts, which in their case means millions. Regulation itself is not needed for Bitcoin's financial success, we just need it to have well-defined legal status so big players won't feel the risk that it might be banned some day by some major western government like the US or EU.

Basically everyone has lost some money in the cryptosphere because of a hack or exit scam of some exchange, we have had like 4 major exchange scams/hacks. Even if you keep your money out of exchanges, it's still risky and that only works if you don't want to trade but it's definitely not the best option. Watching your portfolio go down 20% each day is not something anyone wants to see but you can't have stop losses in your personal wallet.

Or that he is joining bounties with other people names and profiles from bitcointalk and then gives his address?

This.

This address is the tokens collector for hundreds of address, as you can see if you followed the link from amazix spreadsheet is linked for almost 200 eth address signed up for twitter bounty on 01 April 2018, also if you see the eth address he abused on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3055902.0 for almost 250k tokens with around 100 accounts @yahoo62278 bounty
 
This is the cashout tx https://etherscan.io/tx/0x2bee46a11d6bbc8ea0b1c703ba5a8a4c6672e6d1c5727038f420a62f13ea91ca + https://etherscan.io/address/0x2de6a5c3b037d276186b3601e1d99452f1ad0aa0#tokentxns to

Yeah, this scam is definitely increasing lately, unfortunately it's extremely hard or close to impossible to ever find out who is doing it since they don't have to provide anything but an ethereum address. They literally don't even need a bitcointalk account as far as I understand.
353  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Control the risk of your investment on: April 18, 2018, 09:42:57 AM
Invest in yourself, learn some Technical Analysis and learn how to place stop losses and when to make entries, it's the best way and you have control over your own money, no need for third parties and the best thing is that IT WORKS. I have been doing it for months and I have saved myself thousands of dollars even with the recent crash, all thanks to stop losses and TA.

Well, yeah it's a bit complex, there is no super easy way of doing it, it's basically bb code. The only thing you can do is search on google programs or editors for bb code where they include already pre-made images and things like that, I think that's the easiest way of doing it if you don't need anything too fancy.

I'm not sure I follow, you are saying he has 200 different accounts? Or that he is joining bounties with other people names and profiles from bitcointalk and then gives his address?
356  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bittrex trash new layout on: April 18, 2018, 09:32:07 AM
who cares about the layout of the exchange website when the owners are scammers?
here is the link to the profile of the owner: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=96390
follow the links and see for yourselves that it doesn't matter how their interface looks, your funds are at a serious risk. they may not scam you today but at any time in the future if they encounter another money problems they will scam you to cover their asses...

True, that's what I said in the other thread. It's unbelievable that people are still using them after they locked hundreds of thousands of accounts and took them months and months to ever solve. Who knows when they are going to do it again, extremely unreliable exchange and borderline a scam.

Are all cryptocurrencies destined to be store of value in the end?

You say it the way like it's a bad thing.  Gold also isn't used for daily transactions, but can we build a phrase like this "Gold destined to be store of value in the end", with this pessimistic tone?

I think cryptocurrencies is just a first wave of the blockchain applications in real life. And in my opinion, blockchain is not "destined to be store of value in the end".





The blockchain itself isn't, bitcoin is. At this point everyone knows that bitcoin will never become a normal currency unless some new technology is discovered and can be applied to bitcoin. When we hit 20k the fees were huge not to mention the extreme volatility. Even as a store of value that volatility is way too high.

I know most of these coins are just garbage, real serious companies are just starting to get in, we will see real serious cryptocurrencies this year and next year when big players start to join in.
359  Economy / Economics / Re: How does bitcoin become a currency? on: April 17, 2018, 10:52:11 PM
In the beginning, BTC could be used to exchange of low value of virtual items, such as buying web sites or game points, virtual items, etc., afterwards, some people in order to get these virtual items, items may be in online auction own reality for BTC, others want to buy the real goods, but no BTC at hand, and then use real money to exchange BTC, as a result, BTC begin to flow, and have a "value".


In other words, bitcoin is inherently valuable as a means of payment; If it loses its function as a means of payment, it becomes worthless.

The value of money: it exists because of payment.

A lot of people ask why bitcoin has any value. The reason is the same as why gold has value. Bitcoin is able to act as a payment system, worldwide. On top of that, it is decentralized, and there is no concern of bitcoin losing value because of monetary policies. People want to use bitcoin as a currency, because of the fact that bitcoin is decentralized, and is the first crypto with the greatest amount of trust. That's where BTC's value comes from.

I don't think that what you said was necessarily true, but it's the reason why merchants accepting BTC directly is good for the stability of BTC.

Once more merchants start accepting bitcoin as is, without any sort of system where the bitcoin is converted to USD before he receives the funds, the merchants goods are essentially going to be backing the BTC's value. And when more and more merchants do this, the value of BTC will naturally stabilize. But so far, we see that btc is still quite volatile due to speculators.

Well, it can't be the same reason and people ask that because bitcoin is not a physical thing, gold is. Gold has value because it has applications, real life physical applications, it can be used for jewelry but most importantly computers, electronics and even medicine.
360  Economy / Economics / Re: The Need for Bitcoin and an Argument Against Regulation on: April 17, 2018, 10:47:06 PM
I also like how he points out how Bitcoin is somewhat of a regulation itself, but then in the way that it regulates governments that will now have to compete with each other to offer us, the people, the best of the best. It's no longer we are operating at mercy of the government, but the government operating at mercy of the people, which is exactly how it should be. Almost everything he points out is spot on.
Governments competing to serve their slaves (can't think of a better term, sorry, we are their slaves), that's definitely something to look forward to. Their endless disrespect towards people can't continue for ever.

I am sure that they were expecting to continue like that for many more decades, but that time seems to be coming to an end, and rightfully so. I like how T.D. explains the difference between governments throughout the years.

It's no longer what can I do for you?, but what are you gonna do for me! T.D. definitely gained my credits, and looking around on social media, nearly all his videos and posts are extremely low on downvotes or dislikes.

He gained his credits rightfully everywhere on the internet, especially after his recent prediction. He is right now what Roger Ver was once. Thanks for sharing this video.

It's refreshing seeing a thread not being flooded with posts for once. The subject is probably too serious to participate in for a lot newbies compared to all the one liner OP threads.

You know, although I agree that governments can sometimes be quite corrupt, they aren't special, they are people like you and me, the only difference is power, the more power any human has the more prone he is to do bad things with it. You and me, we don't access to steal millions, for example, so we don't. An average person can only steal, I don't know, a shop at most. When you have more power, you also have the potential to do worse things and unfortunately a lot of people can't stop themselves from doing it.

We are slaves in a sense but at the end of the day, it's something needed, if no one was doing any job where would we be? I don't think most first world governments are trying to destroy cryptos with regulations and I don't think they have bad intentions and obviously the lack of experience with cryptocurrencies can be worrying but we have to start somewhere, don't we?
