Awesome app, I really like it especially that you have a small description of each coin, that saves me a lot of time, as I am quite new to the crypto space. Are you planning to release a desktop version as well ?

We are working on a desktop version as many Users were asking for it. In the next release there will be some aweseome new features Smiley
I just downloaded the app to try it out since i want to switch from blockfolio to another portfolio tracking service(i'm just not a big fan of their layout anymore, and plus they don't have support for everything I wanted to have).

The app is extremely sleek and easy to navigate, well designed as well.

Could you potentially consider adding support for all major fiat currencies? As in, fiat currencies can be added to your investment portfolio as well instead of just being a way of showing your portfolio value in. Also I'd like to see support for gold/silver being added too.

Thanks a lot.

Yep right on... just trying to help get people involved quickly

Prices are going to be quite high. People are essentially going to be paying around twice or even thrice the amount of premium for one bitcoin compared to if they just bought bitcoin with their paypal elsewhere(which already carried a pretty sizeable premium).

You should rethink your strategy. A lot of people don't care about the consultations, tutorials, wallet setup etc. since it can already be found elsewhere on the internet for absolutely 0 cost. And it'll make you seem like a ripoff.

I recommend adding options for bitcoin only orders, and don't restrict people to 3 sizes of bitcoins. Have a max and a min, and apply a constant premium to all orders.
4023  Economy / Speculation / Re: Just bought BTC for 50% discount. How to celebrate with guaranteed profits!?!? on: January 31, 2018, 06:23:53 AM
Dumb buyed the bitcoin at 20,000
I just bought everything at 10,000
When it goes to 250,000 
I will buy both Rolex AND airJet!!!

Not gonna be guaranteed. Nobody promises or guarantees that bitcoin is going to $250k in a year's time or even ever. If this was guaranteed then a lot more people would be buying instead of selling their bitcoins right now.

Though i do see the current price as a very good point to make your entry to the market. You are seeing a 50% reduction of price from the all time high, which is phenomenal considering how much more hype bitcoin had as a profit making investment when it was $20k.

Starting to buy right now wouldn't be a bad idea, especially if you are new to bitcoin. Don't wait for it to go up.
4024  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this the Stable Btcoin Price? on: January 29, 2018, 09:08:00 AM
Hello Bitcointalk Family,

About one month, Bitcoin Price up and down between 10-12k USD. And, it went below 10K for some reasons. But My Confusion is" is this price will be stable for long time?" or is there any chance for pump like before? What do you think about it?
Please kindly inform

Thank You .

The price is indeed quite stable, and this is a good thing. It means that the resistance is strong, but on the other hand the support is super strong also. BTC has been between this $10k-$12k level for around a week or two now.

It will not stay at this level forever. It's either going to go up, or go down. And right now, bitcoin going up to something along the lines of $13-14k has a much higher probability than bitcoin going down under $10k. That's the general consensus atm.

After that pump is done, I think price will stabilize, and float around for a while within a difference of $1-2k, just like now. After the support is re-established at a higher level, then bitcoin can push for another all time high.
4025  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Minimize Fee for Micro transaction on Exchanger on: January 29, 2018, 08:59:17 AM
Hello I Want share my writing on steemit  about trick to minimize the bitcoin fee on exchanger especially for micro transaction ,  this trick help me a lot when i want withrdaw my little money .
The main idea of this trick is using 2 exhanger with same alt coin  as an intermediary for bitcoin exchange
you can read completely on : https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@brotherwood11/minimize-your-fee-bitcoin-tips-and-trick-1

The big if is if you are doing it from one exchanger to another. If you need to send somebody money, then you can't just send them altcoins and let them convert it to bitcoin itself, since they'll still be charged that transaction fee.

However, it's a good guide, and it often comes in handy.

It is worth noting that this only works if you're dealing with amounts under 0.2 BTC, though. Otherwise the spread will hit you harder than the actual bitcoin withdrawal fee will, so you'll be taking a loss. Plus, if the market fluctuates, you'd be likely to lose lots of money. If bittrex decides to hold up your withdrawal, and lumens crash during that period of time, you also will lose lots of money. So it's not a risk free method, but for 0.005 BTC, it's probably worth it.
4026  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin vulnerable to theft? on: January 29, 2018, 06:36:44 AM
Bitcoin is not vulnerable to theft but maybe your wallet, the bitcoin on your wallet can be stole by just hacking. Using a hardware wallet is assured to safe your bitcoins so that no hackers can access to you wallet. Use two authentication when loggin in your wallet to avoid wallet being hacked.

Bitcoin itself is secured by maths. The probabilities of you generating a random priavte key and this private key being used before is extremely low, much lower than someone guessing your password since they have clues of what it might be(your name, your birthday, etc.).

The most vulnerable part to theft is the environment which you are storing your bitcoins in. So you're completely right to either use a hardware wallet or a paper wallet for any kind of large sums, otherwise you may be hacked quite easily.

Basically protect your wallet just like it's real money, even though it may not have any bitcoins in there yet. Never use exchanges as a wallet or any hosted wallet services, as you don't have access to your priavte keys and they can exit scam quite easily.
4027  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Are there any crypto fund managers available.. on: January 29, 2018, 06:14:39 AM
Managing our own portfolio is the best thing and wise too. Agreed. I was just checking the options, if there any such services available and i believe its a 'NO' as of now.

There is one. There's a fund called cryptomerian, and it's been along for quite a while. The founders and all are based in Turkey, if i remember correctly. Their company is registered offshore, and they are a pooled investment fund essentially.

They invest in everything from altcoins, bitcoins, ICOs to gambling bankrolls. You can buy their coin, which represents shares in their investments. Then there is Bit20 and crypto20 which is an index representing the top 20 cryptocurrencies, you can also invest in them.

This is pretty much the only one that I'm aware of, at the moment. Still though, they are quite risky to invest in since they did have some problems in the past. Just manage your own portfolio, it's much more secure and there are no commissions.
4028  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you suppose will happen when BTC loses it's dominance? on: January 29, 2018, 06:10:15 AM
Every week BTC seems to lose it's market dominance. Currently it sits at 34.4 percent but what happens when it becomes 5 percent or less? Thoughts?

That's because altcoins are currently in a bubble, like Ripple, Ethereum, etc. Plus bitcoin has recently just took a dive, so it's really no surprise that the bitcoin dominance is going down at the moment. Same thing happened last year, alts went up a lot, but at the end, bitcoin dominance reverted to around 50% which i think is still quite undervalued.

Bitcoin will continue to be the number 1 cryptocurrency as long as cryptocurrencies are still a thing. The dominance could go down but that just means that there are thousands of altcoins there that are all basically tools for speculation. Bitcoin is really the only useful currency out of the bunch.

When I see bitcoin dominance under 40%, I always buy bitcoin. It means that altcoins are overbought and overvalued, and bitcoin is the exact opposite. It shouldn't slip under 30% any time soon.
4029  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: djeezer12 is a scammer with PROOF on: January 29, 2018, 05:58:29 AM
You simply never conduct currency exchanges without an escrow, unless the other party is extremely trusted or has an established website. His exchange website seems to be developed from a cheap template, and it's no surprise that he would scam for a few hundred bucks.

For the record, the user that is being accused of scamming is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1137488.

I would suggest using the following template for your scam accusation:
Code:
[b][color=black]What happened:: [/color][/b]

[b][color=black]Scammers Profile Link: [/color][/b]

[b][color=black]Reference Link: [/color][/b]

Otherwise DT members can't make a decision of tagging the guy accurately. We want him to get a negative trust as a warning to others asap.

No escrow involved, I deposit the BTC in to his wallet, the thing is, if I exposed the developer in the forum, he will start trolling my coin.. What should I do?., is not fair.. I'm so sad, not upset, but just sad, I'm crying... it took a lot of effort for me to come up with the money for my project.. I also spend tons of money in the platform.. I'm so sad.....I lost around $6000 on both scams

What should you do? Use the correct scam report format and expose both of these developers real usernames on the forum. We can't do anything to aid the situation if you just use pseudonyms like developer #1 and developer #2. Doesn't help whatsoever. If you put out his name, then he'll probably be pressured to do the right thing and refund you.

You should have used escrow for sure. Anything above $100 must be escrowed, otherwise you're just asking for scammers to approach you.

Of course, we have no way of verifying whether your claim is real or not. Edit your OP with the scam report format, with the relevant proofs, along with the list of requirements you listed out before you paid him. If any of those requirements have not been fulfilled then the burden is on him to do it or refund.

BTW, 60% premine, wtf man. Roll Eyes
4031  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Freewallet.org - "missing" tokens for 1.5 months on: January 29, 2018, 05:04:35 AM
Oh right. I was mistaken then, but my point still stands. They'll basically have to manually credit your Wabi tokens to your wallet instead of the process being automatic, since you did it before Wabi support was added.

The process should be simpler then, they wouldn't need to access funds from another address and have to change your deposit addresses. They just need to confirm that you have indeed sent wabi to the address, and all of this is publicly verifiable.

BTW, since it's already been 2 days, have you received your wabi yet? Please post any updates.

I was giving a little bit of time to the freewallet team to contact me but I have received no answer since they reply to my post. I have checked my PMs here, my email inbox and my freewallet app and they send me no answer.

I cant  send a PM to freewallet user in the forum because I have the newbie range and he has disabled that newbies users can send him message. So Im in the same point as when I wrote this post.

Thank you very much for your support magneto and everybody else. I am sending more mails to them and Ill keep you updated with any news.

I'm not too sure why newbies aren't able to send messages to him, since afaik there is no option of disabling PMs from newbies alone(or maybe I'm wrong, i just never saw an option like that). Anyways, I have PM'd him for you and asked him to follow up with any action he takes.

Hopefully, that will be soon.

I sent my tokens NEM(XEM) from the address Bittrex to the address Freewallet in December 3, 2017. And I have not received them yet. The support service only writes one thing - wait!
Since then, in my multicurrency wallet, the address NEM(XEM) has changed. And my tokens hold on the common wallet Freewallet team.
This can be seen in the blockchain NEM(XEM).
How do you think I'll return my tokens NEM(XEM)Huh

PM freewallet on forum, if they are not responding to tickets. Also, did you include your NEM txid in your support ticket? Otherwise, they'll have no way of confirming that you did send funds to the address.
4032  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Japanese exchange Coincheck has been hacked on: January 29, 2018, 04:51:30 AM
Coincheck says it will compensate everyone who has had a loss. The following is a blog post they have issued on this, which is in Japanese:

http://corporate.coincheck.com/2018/01/28/30.html

(use google translate to translate it into English)

Refunds will be in Japanese Yen (JPY)

So they'll be compensating around 80 yen per NEM, which is 81 cents. Current pricing of NEM is around $1 so that means due to the hack, the people who stored NEM on coincheck will be taking a 15-20% loss from their total investment capital.

Of course, that's better than nothing, and they probably calculated the price of NEM from the bottom its had after the hack. At least they are promising something to compensate the victims, instead of nothing at all. Also there's no IOU token bullcrap, as it seems.

There we go again, one more Mt. Gox On the brighter site this will scare lot of newbies, which is probably good for them as they'd not do any research prior to their investment.

It's got nothing with investments. It's about not keeping any significant amount of money stored on exchanges.
4033  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Why don't people realize the problems with cloud mining? on: January 29, 2018, 04:44:15 AM
You make good points. A lot of these people have never invested in cloud mining but just ride off other people's opinions and never formulate their own. But I have invested in Genesis and I can tell you that it ended with around a 30-40% loss. Of course, right now could be different as the price of bitcoin has been skyrocketing. But I doubt the people who invested in genesis mining contracts with bitcoin at $20k is making a lot either.

As with hashflare, even though I don't have any experience with investing in it, I'm pretty sure that nobody is really satisfied with it let alone profits. You've got the management being a joke, reducing contracts from lifetime to 1 year and then temporarily increasing min. withdraw to 0.2 BTC.

It's true that Genesis Mining is a legit site, but you're probably not going to make a longstanding income from it. But people for the sake of their ref links spread the exact opposite of that.

I don't recommend hashflare as well, but for people who want to give it a shot, go ahead.
The same thing applied to genesis mining, do your own diligence to check and calculate how much to invest and how long it takes to reach ROI, as bitcoin difficulty increase over time if bitcoin price doesn't increase, you are at loss.

Correct me, if I'm wrong.
1. As far as I know, genesis mining is a lifetime bitcoin contract (not altcoins). So, if you have enough hashrate (more than difficulty, that will generate bitcoin) even though it takes a long time, you will get the ROI. in your case, I don't know how much hashrate that you have.

2. Correlated to the first point, if you invest a small amount of money, it's not worth due to the difficulty and maintenance fees: $0.00028/GH/s per day. Let's calculate if you have $179 for 1000 GH/s > maintenance fee = $0.28/day
According to coinwarz, 1000 GH/s may generate BTC0.002898/month * $11,694 (bitcoin price) = $33.89/month.
It takes 30 months to reach ROI, as I said, it's not worth. But, it will be different if bitcoin price increase to $20,000, it takes 18 months to reach ROI.

Another calculation if you invest $3975 for 25,000 GH/s, maintenance fee = $7/day
25,000 GH/s can generate $865/month or $10,524 annually. You can get ROI in 5 months.
Quote
But I doubt the people who invested in genesis mining contracts with bitcoin at $20k is making a lot either.
I can say: it's different if you invest a small amount of money or if you invest a big amount of money to get decent hashrate.
You may share your experience in genesis mining, how much hashrate that you have? How much money that you've invested, and so on, if you don't mind to.
I think that what you're missing is the fact that Genesis Mining contracts will not actually last lifetime. As soon as your incoming profits are lower than the maintenance fees that you're supposed to pay, then you're pretty much done for. Plus, you never know where they get their daily payout figures from. They could be making it up for all we know.

I purchased the bare minimum a year and a half back. I think it was 50 GH/s which definitely is minuscule now but still cost me around 0.05 BTC to purchase it. I probably only made around 0.02 - 0.03 BTC of it back before it got terminated. Of course, it could have been the fact that the halving affected the profitability of mining a lot, but the price rose as well at the time.

Bottom line I think is, cloud mining that is actually "mining" will probably not make you more than holding your bitcoins in a bull market like last year, and there is always a risk of not making ROI. Sure, there are some people saying that it's a scam without any basis, but there are legitimate complaints.
4034  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Problems with selling altcoin on Yobit on: January 29, 2018, 04:27:49 AM
hi everyone, i bought some Pac coin on Yobit with doge coin and i put it for sell for btc, the problem is there's no buy orders on this market but there's many sell orders yet many buys in the trade history; and the sell orders are huge there's a huge amount with about 22 billions of pac  that correspond to my sell price which is 0.00000001 btc; now i'm stuck with my Pac and i don't know what to do is it gonna work , will i have to wait until all this amount is sold? can anybody explain this to me plllllllllllllllllllllllllllllz. so i wont do the same mistake again. thanks

If you place an order at 1 satoshi then you basically have to wait for all the orders before you to get executed before yours gets executed. Right now, PAC is somewhat hyped up, and yet its markets are still by large completely illiquid.

If you just leave your order there, it'll probably take a good few weeks/months before any portion of it gets filled. And that takes luck.

What you could do is cancel your PAC sell order that is currently active, then repost that sell order on the PAC/USD market which already has some buy orders. If you want BTC, then simply trade in your USD for BTC on yobit as well. Else, you could withdraw the PAC onto tradesatoshi, where there is a lot of doge buy orders. Once you get the doge, then convert it back to BTC.

I click the "send SMS" button any number of times but I don't receive an SMS on my phone
I send ticket 3 days ago But no answer.

Usually the support will respond fairly quickly. Binance has one of the best support ticket systems out there right now, and if you are not getting a reply from them, then perhaps try to initiate contact on their twitter account.

If you're not getting the SMS notifications then there is something wrong with their 2fa system/provider. We can't help you any more than the ways you can reach them.

From Tuesday evening i tried at least 500 times to send SMS  and still note receiveing it . Before that it worked perfectly. I have sent a ticket with phone number location,etc . Should i expect them to send me a verification code or sth like that? I didn't verify account with my documents because i know i woudnt withdraw more than 2 btc. If i didn't verified the account can i cancel the 2fa,because you have to send your documents in order to be cancelled. Please some help with this issue.Thanks!

I'm not sure what exactly they will do but it's unlikely they will send you a temporary code, because accounts could be easily recovered by hackers that way. Verification shouldn't be a problem here. Unverified accounts are still accounts.
4036  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you think that Bitcoin's price will still drop nearly below $9000? on: January 29, 2018, 03:50:40 AM
Many of those people who predict the price of bitcoin will come down again like he raced to show the technical predictions he made.

if it is true can you give an accurate reason not just speculation and not just a fake streak of technical predictions?

and why the decline in Bitcoin prices is quite prolonged?

Short term wise bitcoin is going to stay above $10k. Only if we see the price of bitcoin consistently below $10k for a few hours, can we say that the support is no longer there at $10k. The only time that bitcoin has crashed below $10k was when the panic dump initially happened, and even then the price rebounded almost instantly back up to $10000-$10500. That's how strong the support is.

I'm not sure why anyone would think bitcoin would crash a lot more, and I would definitely want to see some valid analysis from them as well.

Even if we do not climb to the last all time high, we should still be able to get to at least $15k next month. We're just in the bust phase of the boom/bust cycle. It shouldn't be something to worry about for anyone, in my opinion. It has happened throughout the runup to $20k.

What do you think about coinexchange.io?suggest coins one can trade on...

The only reason that you would use their exchange is to trade lending platform tokens. Lendconnect, regalcoin, davorcoin. You've got the whole package there. Bitconnect has obviously already been fallen, but coinexchange seems to have no problems about listing lending scams, and they're making most of their trading commissions from listing these ponzi schemes.

That alone should demonstrate to you how untrustworthy they are. They're providing a platform for scammers to do their thing, basically. They could scam your deposits any time they want.

Buying big altcoins from them is going to be expensive. Sell orders are going to be much higher than market, and buys are going to be much lower than market price, because of the low volume with legitimate coins.

I wonder what other scams like this one are there. It would be great if there was some well known scam alert site out thee

Plenty. If you do some research and use your common sense though, you will be able to avoid 99% of these scams. Anything that involves you making a lot of money in a short period of time is deserving to be suspicious of.

LTCminer based on some research is just like a classic ponzi.

The trend recently has been lending platforms, and these can be especially tempting to invest in. Just keep in mind that volatility bots do not exist, otherwise bitconnect would be a gold mine that is still operating.

Sites that expose scam sites include badbitcoin.org and scambitcoin.com. If you're really unsure then make a thread on bitcointalk.

You should delete all your previous threads in goods and auctions because it's got nothing to do with those subforums. This is the only thread that has been posted in the right subforum and it should be the only one.

Anyways, your site is very poorly designed at the moment. I would suggest getting one of the professional designers to redesign your logo. There is plenty of them on bitcointalk that you can find, or you could find some on freelancer. I'm not a big fan of how the site is laid out either.

You just can't expect anyone to trust you if your site is so poorly developed, people will think that you're in there for the quick buck.

But the idea is great, if people are able to list items on a site for bitcoin then i'm sure a lot of people will do it. Though you need to get a big customer base first.
4040  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin broke $12,000. Still a good time to buy imo. on: January 28, 2018, 09:57:43 AM
In GDAX, it has gone down to $11,400 per coin, after hitting the 12K mark. The prices are not stable and I don't know why the demand is not there. I could think of at least a dozen different reasons, but the most possible one seems to be the situation in South Korea. It seems to me that the South Korean users are dumping their Bitcoin and BCH holdings.

I guess that the $12k mark is still resistance and is yet to be broken. I have no idea why people are still dumping their coins when $12k hits, perhaps it's because of the fact that none of the last few attempts to break $12k has been successful.

OP's analysis is interesting though, once $12k is hit it's probably going to blow up just like OP has said.

As notaki has said, Jan has always been a pretty bad month and December a good month for bitcoin... This bear market isn't going to last forever. As soon as a country legalizes bitcoin again, for instance, or the SK government clears up misconceptions or reviews their bitcoin strategy, bitcoin will go up straightaway. And buying at low prices like this will only benefit you over the long run, instead of buying when price is already going up.
