You haven't told us your payment method for the purchase. Bitcoin? Paypal? Skrill?

It would also be nice if mentioned your payment terms such as the rates you would like to base on for the trade and transaction fees. Would you cater for them?

Really?
I bet you are mistaken into thinking that DEXes (Decentralized Exchanges) are only the common exchanges using Ethereum or Binance smart chain "centralized" smart contracts that you see every day like Uniswap, panicake swap, sushiswap etc

Well we do have DEXes where traders use fiat to trade as well. They are p2p DEXes like bisq, localcryptos, hodlhodl etc, so your statement is not true

---

Western union and localbitcoins are safe as long as you follow guided. Do not release crypto unless you have received payment. Also when using Western Union to receive payments, make sure you provide the correct required details to your trading partner. Localbitcoins suck thought, due to their strict KYC.

I bumped on a weird Bitcoin address today and when I checked it through Blockchair explorer (https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/1111111111111111111114oLvT2), I couldn't help but wonder what's going on. The address started receiving transactions from 2010 and It's still receiving them to this date. No out going transactions ever. The total number of BTC it has received so far is 197 Bitcoins. Almost every hour, People still keep sending the address BTC and it's not just dust amounts. We are talking about 0.004 - 0.006 BTC

So my questions are;
1. Is this Bitcoin address valid and do you think it has a private key?
2. How does one create such a bitcoin address if it's possible?
3. Why are people still sending Bitcoins to it, almost every hour? Is there any purpose of those incoming transactions?

So you expected to make only gain minus any price drops?corrections? 

You have been in this forum since 2017, so I believe you should be knowing the volatile nature of the crypto market by now. Not putting a stop loss is a very big mistake in your trades. It could have been worse, You would have woken up when your portfolio was down by more 50% any day. Just check what happened on 13th March 2020

The fee rate does not depend on the wallet/exchange you are sending Bitcoins too. It's mostly dependent on the size of your transaction and the state of the mempool (if you want it to be confirmed quickly)

You can use tools like https://mempool.space to observe  the mempool and also find out what the most suitable fee rate would be for you.
Ideally, the unconfirmed transactions in the mempool tend to drop on weekends. This in turn leads to a drop in the fee rate required to confirm transaction in the next block.

Right now, 10 sats/byte isn't bad.

Here are a few questions I would like to ask you OP  

1. Bitcoin has been here for almost 12 years old, Elon mask has had an idea of payment systems and the internet from the 1990's. Where has he been for the 12 years since the inception of Bitcoin?

2. Where was he during the crypto bear market in 2018?

3. Why does he care about Bitcoin's dynamics right all off a sudden when Bitcoin went past $20K?

I will tell you why. He's in the game to manipulate and make profits. Let nobody be fooled that Elon cares about bitcoin. He doesn't. He and all those rich assholes only care about getting richer.

If you decide to religiously follow this forecast and signal website. Your portfolio is going to be fucked/Rekt big time. The site in question even has a warning so this should be a clue



There are a lot of factors that can affect bitcoin Price movements and the most common on is news created by market manipulators or FUDsters like the recent tweets by Elon Musk and China crypto ban. Now such forecasting sites don't take such news into account.

Looks like the ASIC is not in stock in the official manufacturer's and shop site. The only other option is to buy third-party resellers like they have already suggested such as eBay and Alixespress (Alibaba since you are planning to buy in bulk)

The good new is that they do offer buyer protection so you can test the item if it works well or not before you received it. So alibaba is a marketplace but also acts as an escrow.

There so very good guide you can follow before you make any purchase on alibaba - https://www.linnworks.com/blog/buying-from-alibaba

Today I just noticed that frodocooper is not a moderator anymore.

frodocooper was one of the mods who had zero tolerance for spam in the mining board though some people complained about the board being over moderated which I can understand but I think his contribution was a net positive.

Why do you think he was removed?
Inactivity?
Personal request?

According to domain information from Whois.com. Your site is barely 2 months old


What makes you think people are going to trust some site created 2 months ago?
Some of the images used on our website are just simple copy-paste from different source online.

If you are trying to make something trustworthy and legit. At least be original.

With the exception of negative feedback left on the scammer's profile by DT members, there's nothing much that can be done. I guess this is a lesson that you should never waste you time advertising for projects you are not sure will pay up.

Always ensure that the tokens that they are going to be paid for the bounty tasks are at least escrowed or held by the bounty manager if he's trusted.

In simple terms, It's known as a zero gas transaction and it used to happen back in 2018 when hackers used the exploit to steal ERC20 from addresses with leaked private keys minus using ETH as transaction fee.

I don't know if it's possible today but back then some miners would send ETH minus paying gas fees through their nodes. So the attacker used that exploit to have zero gas transactions too If the transaction was created and launched on such an Ether miner node ( the node that mines a new block)

I am sure what you are looking for here? Are you talking in terms of market cap? coin price?
Both really don't matter so much as far as Bitcoin is concerned. The most important are the principles behind Bitcoin creation.

1. Bitcoin is the old and most decentralized blockchain network. All the coins you trying to compare to Bitcoin don't even come anywhere close. Most are centralized to some extent

2. Bitcoin has no known particular "owner" like most of the altcoins do. So trying to control the network is close to impossible. Whether for coins like Ethereum or Ripple. Law enforcement bodies like SEC can wake up one day and sue the creators of the coins or ask them to shut down for face jail.

3. Whether you want it or not, Bitcoin is the flagship in cryptocurrencies. Most of the altcoins are just copycats. So whether it's 5 years from now or 10. It will still continue being a lead via adoption and market movements.

Why should i trust a brand new service that uses the basic principles of Simple Moving Averages to create buy and sell orders?

I can also recreate the same strategy on popular trading tools like tradingview or coinalyze by tinkering with the SMAs and execute the same minus having to risky my account.

The funds are probably still in the bank account. OP wants to purchase litecoin through coinbase pro. His bank account is linked to his coinbase pro account but he didn't know that he has to first make a deposit of some USD from his bank to the coinbase pro account before starting to trade.

Basing on OP post. I think he might be from the US. Binance.com closed shop for traders from the US. So buying Litecoin from coinbase and then sending it to Binance.com isn't possible

I don't know if Binance US supports Litecoin or not but if it does then it's a good thing for OP to do.

The lack confidence is probably because you are planning to invest something or money you can't afford to lose. this is very crucial because if you can't afford to lose it, you will be trading with lots of emotions and very little confidence.

I suggest you begin small, even 10 USD can do just for the sake of practice and gaining experience. Even if you lose it due to trading mistakes, you won't be depressed that much. Once you have some experience, I am pretty sure, you will have have some confidence as well.

What you will be looking at are the percentage returns of investment and not just the USD value in returns.

Basically that's it.

By the way you have to connect your wallet to the pancakeswap exchange first. For trust wallet, the most effective option is the wallet connect feature. If you have any challenges. Let me know and I will give you a walk through.

This guide should be able to give you more knowledge about pancakeswap - https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/a-guide-to-pancakeswap

1. Setting up and trading using an unverified account on Kucoin is quite easy. Is there any particular reason as to why you can trade for yourself?

2.  Withdrawal fee is about 30 WAX (~5 USD) on Kucoin, so you will be receiving about 10 USD worth of WAX coin. How does the person helping you gain from the trade given the fact that they are risking their reputation to help you.

I have a kucoin account and I am willing to help you, only if your reasons are genuine 

It's not temporary as such. You have to verify you account in order to have higher purchase limits. The problem is the regulatory bodies especially if you are from the US

As for celicius network, they also use third party services to make purchases such as GEM and simplex. So I don't understand why you are trying to use them to purchase bitcoins directly.

1. Try checking bestchange.com to see if there is any suitable exchange that can match your payment methods
2. You can use p2p exchanges that don't require KYC to purchase crypto using fiat such as
- https://localcryptos.com
- https://hodlhodl.com
- https://bisq.network
