The only reasons your account is logged out periodically that i know of is either you are logged in from multiple devices and you pressed logout from one of the devices, or you have selected when you logged in that you want to stay logged in for x amount of time.

Other than that i have no idea why you're getting kicked out. Are you sure you're not clicking on a phishing link either? Some phishing links when you click on them claim that you're logged out and asks you to entire your password.

I have never received "authentication error" as an error message, though. Mind including some screenshots?

I guess neither. Not a single crypto investor will be interested in investing if they are being taxed this much. Obviously they are still able to trade if they really wanted to and it's not illegal, and trading p2p probably won't get taxed anyways since it's just a fair swap without involving any companies and the government has no way of knowing that a bitcoin exchange has happened. So if you really wanted to rate this news, i guess it's better than banning altogether.

With this new progression, i think we'll see some crypto volume go from Korea back to Japan, where it is already one of the Asia's biggest bitcoin hubs. With the South Korean government not supporting bitcoin, Japan, who legalized bitcoin last year, is going to be the safe haven for investors.

These high tax percentages are basically discouraging big investors from investing. South Korea just didn't want to ban it altogether, but rather be able to collect some revenue.

Why not give us some proof about your cryptonator struggles? Otherwise i doubt that anyone would be able to help you resolve the issue, not even cryptonator themselves. But it looks like at the moment that there is a whole bunch of cryptonator complaints right now, with the main topic being support not replying to tickets on a reasonable timeframe.

I always hate it when that happens, and that is why i'd rather take a discount over my coins and get the convenience and peace of mind.

This is why I strongly believe you should take a look at localbitcoins. Unless you're actively trading on a site every single day and is a 24/7 daytrader, localbitcoins should be able to fulfill your needs. I have never seen support ignore my tickets, and transactions can almost be instant at times.

There are definitely chances that you are able to get a good deal on your buy order and be able to sell your bitcoins straightaway for a much higher price. But these chances are rare, because there should always be someone before you taking advantage of this opportunity, if it is available.

Where i usually look for arbitrage opportunities isn't the link that you provided, but rather coinmarketcap. You can click into any altcoin that you want to arb with, click on markets, and see the price differences between exchanges.

Those opportunities might look good on paper sometimes but it doesn't work in practice. Why? There may be issues with deposits/withdrawals on the site that is causing the arb opportunity to be there in the first place. You may even lose money if you don't research well before you put in money into these arbitrages.

Absolutely. A lot of people are here just for the prospect of making money quick. They see bitcoin just like any other investment opportunities and even compare it to an affiliate marketing scheme like bitconnect. That really angers me, since they haven't done any research about what bitcoin is and they are starting to invest. Sure, bitcoin can be a great investment and has proven to be, but its main agenda is to provide a decentralized means of exchange for people.

I honestly think that bitcoin won't crash a lot further, even if it does it'll probably stop at $5k at the worst, which is still up 5x from last year. But more than likely, bitcoin will go up to around $15-20k and hopefully, have some support base at that level.

At the end of the day, fiat valuation of bitcoin is unfair and redundant for the long term.

How can you not "receive" the google authenticator code? You have to actually open the authenticator app and copy paste the updated in real time code to be able to pass the 2fa on cryptonator. There is no sms or email sent to you if you think that is the case.

But this is the danger of using a hosted wallet. Just like coinbase/freewallet/xapo, you do not have any control over your own funds. Even blockchain.info in the most extreme circumstance cannot just take your funds, since the recovery phrase is in your hands.

I suggest first checking the google authenticator app to see if the code is really missing, and then just patiently wait for a response on their support system. If not, then tag them on twitter. Their twitter account is https://twitter.com/cryptonatorcom.

There has been a stream of these sites getting pumped out, selling graphics cards or bitcoin miners. Without even looking into whois analysis i can tell you that it's 99.999% going to be a scam and not going to be worth it, and is a scam.

Buy your miners from a legit vendor, or even off ebay. At least you're protected by their buyer protection program if something goes wrong.

Don't just go onto google and search up buy antminers or whatever, go to the bottom of the third page or click on a random ad. These sites put no effort in even disguising their intention to scam, and that is all they exist for.

Whether or not this is legit, and whether or not chinese whales are doing whatever they are doing, one thing is for sure. Just because the Chinese government is anti-bitcoin as it has always been, doesn't mean that bitcoin players in China(whales) won't continue to operate.

If China does ban bitcoin, do you really think that they'll give up trading altogether? Oh please. They've got so much invested in crypto that they're either going to carry on privately under the radar or move to another country where bitcoin is legalized.

Therefore, the people who dumped and panicked just because the Chinese government came out with mining bans are quite irrational. Chinese whales are going to be there whether or not you like it, and they'll still be a huge part of the system.

Bitcoin is cheap right now. Like dirt cheap. It could really get up from the ground from here, and exceed many people's expectations.

Not any that i'm aware of. Coinbase and blockchain.info are primarily designed for personal accounts and not designed for merchants or business accounts. There are better options out there for those needs like bitpay or coinpayments.

Another thing is, shapeshift that is incorporated into blockchain.info doesn't actually deal with fiat. It only deals with altcoins like ETH, XMR, and BTC itself.

What you can do though, is get an omni address, paste that into shapeshift.io, choose bitcoin to tether exchange and it should give you a bitcoin receiving address. Whatever funds that go into this address will automatically be exchanged to tether, which is supposed to be pegged to USD fiat at 1:1 rates. You can then sell the Tether for actual USD.

To prove that your account was not hacked, you need to sign a message from any old addresses that you have previously used on this forum to conduct trades. The address needs to be posted on an unedited post that dates back before your account "woke up".

I have no idea what you're signing here, but if the public key or whatever is in your sig, then it could have been easily modified. As i said, the only way that people will accept to verify your account ownership is mainly through signed messages.

$1k is just too much risk for anyone to take without a valid collateral though, even if you do sign a message. Just use your credit card or  apply for a short term loan irl if you really need the funds.

Short term speaking I wouldn't see bitcoin go down under $10k. We have already tested the support two times and both times, we came close to crashing under the $10k figure but on both occasions stopped just short of it.

So what we can conclude from last week's crash and this recent correction is that $10k is the main support right now, and based on that support we can slowly recovery to the price levels that we saw late last year.

I'm still quite optimistic about bitcoin this year, there are still going to be some events and outside influences that will make price somewhat unpredictable, but the general trend is going to be up, and then stabilize.

By the end of the year, it wouldn't be a surprise to me if bitcoin settles above $20k, just like it has settled above $10k this year. If you see it crash below $8-9k, you should probably accumulate some just for the future, since it is dirt cheap.

Nice to see this getting sorted...

You sent wabi tokens to freewallet's ethereum address before wabi was even supported. After wabi was added, you didn't see the wabi tokens reflect in your balance. This led to you creating this thread, thinking that freewallet has scammed you.

The fact is that since their ether wallet address is different to their wabi wallet address, and two are technically separate wallets in their interface, tokens sent to the ethereum wallet will not reflect in the wabi wallet.

Hopefully freewallet will fulfill their promises of resolving this issue, and not drag this on for too long.

People have been saying that bitcoin is a bubble at $2000. But if we go back to $2000, will anyone say that bitcoin is a bubble any more? Probably not, because it's going to be a 90% loss for anyone who bought at the all time high.

Personally i think that bitcoin's rise has been very quick, and when bitcoin was close to the all time high it was a bubble. However, now that bitcoin is under $11k, it seems quite stable since the ultimate support is at $10k.

And who would argue that the advancements that bitcoin has made in terms of adoption wasn't worth the 1000% rise in the past year. If anything, the bubble has already popped. We're just going to be waiting for the next bitcoin season, that is all.

No, it does not pay. In the sense that it will not make you a long term profit.

I recommend reading this thread first: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1185909.0. See the calculations and the discussions going on. A lot of people who say that cloud mining pays are going to be using their affiliate links to earn referral earnings.

There are three types of cloud mining:

1. Outright scam: the site will just scam you out of your money, without providing any returns. Just take your money and run.
2. Ponzi scheme: the site is not actually mining but rather just using cloud mining as a cover. You'll eventually lose your money if you keep reinvesting, which you will be tempted to do.
3. Legit: They are actually mining but charge a hefty maintenance fee every single day. You will not make a profit as the difficulty continues to climb.

If you need ways to earn bitcoins, i would suggest earning a real life income and converting it into btc, or even freelancing for btc jobs.

I've seen problems with blockchain.info recently, but most of them are regarding the UI and not actually people's accounts being hacked, or them being locked out of their accounts. It's either some field, or button isn't working.

Since i'm still hearing about these complaints i wouldn't say that the issues have been "sorted out" yet. And that problem won't be resolved unless they address it on a large scale in the site, and redesign it to make it bugless. Another guy on the forum said that blockchain.info wouldn't let him send any amount of btc, no matter how high he set the transaction fees to be.

As potato chips said, if you really need to access your funds, then import your mnemonics to electrum/exodus/any other BIP39 supporting wallets. I'd recommend moving your wallet/funds to electrum permanently, or until blockchain.info sorts out their problems.

Actually, no. If an exchange can't even process withdrawals on time and at least provide some support if they are not going to be bothered to process the withdrawal on time, then i think that it is fair to say that they are a scam.

Seeing the response on the hitbtc thread, OP isn't lying. Hitbtc also has negative trust on their account for shady dealings in the past.

So no, it's not uncalled for and i've seen a ton of people saying that their HitBTC accounts got hacked without any login notifications, withdrawals being stuck, etc. It's definitely not just one or two isolated cases.

Some people own blogs or even multiple blogs, so they want to develop a following on their blogs. Usually on their blogs there are going to be either advertisements, referral links, shortened links or all of the above.

I guess what they hope is that their blog becomes big, so that they can make a living off the ad revenues and potentially even get individual sponsors sponsoring their content. But they need a steady stream of content, and they're not bothered to write it themselves or don't have time.

Another possibility is that they're asking you to write a positive piece about an ICO, alt coin, or project. They will then post it on their site/submit it to a news site, etc. for positive press coverage of their project.

So how was it possible that what you saw in your pending bets was different from nitrogen's public bet slip? Makes no sense. It's either under, or it's over. It can't be both at the same time, don't you think? Plus logically speaking, if they really wanted to selectively scam players, why would they do it to you, and only to a bet which amount is only not even 0.03 BTC?

I'm not saying that you're 100% bullshitting but your case is not very strong here, and it's likely that either you messed something up and is blaming nitrogen for it or is outright lying.

Even if you are speaking the truth, do you really think that nitrogen is going to refund you based on the evidence you've provided? It's literally a screenshot. They can easily claim that your photo was doctored, and not offer a refund.

I find it unbelievable that some site would just change the bets of users like that... Almost too good to be true. Otherwise don't you think that more people would be having the same problem? Plus, how did you get the screenshot if the bet was already changed on your account and you already lost as well?

So there are two possibilities: Either you are a troll, and you're lying for the sake of the refund of your bet, or nitrogen really fucked up. It's probably the first. I've used nitrogen many times, and they will never reverse your bets...

PM https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=88706 if you really think that you have a case... otherwise don't even bother. None of these sites are inexperienced and they'll know if you're trying to scam them at first glance.

Ratings are completely biased, everyone should have their own view. Plus, it wouldn't be hard for someone to do insider trading based on the new ratings, for a company to 'buy' better ratings by paying the rating company a share of their profits, etc.

This may cause a stir, i don't know. It may even make price go up temporarily. But long term, does it really matter?

Everyone should do their own due diligence before investing, As i said when they first release the ratings there may be hype, people may be like wow, crypto is so mainstream it's got mainstream rating companies giving it scores. But at the end of the day, it really doesn't matter.
