4181  Economy / Exchanges / Re: BITTREX NEW IP DETECTED EVERY TIME I LOG IN! SMH on: December 16, 2017, 05:27:27 AM
I registered for bittrex a couples months ago at a friend house....now, every time i try to log in to bittrex from my own house, it directs me to a page that says "new IP detected" and I have to go into my email to click a link in order to allow access. How do I fix this problem and allow bittrex to recognize my home IP?

If anyone who's had this issue got answers, please do share the wealth.

Perhaps you have dynamic IP addresses that change every once in a while, that could be the issue with bittrex not recognizing your home IP address because for me, it works fine. It only asks me for email verification when i go onto a public hotspot or something like that.

This is obviously an inbuilt security feature. I'd rather have to go through this trouble every single time i log in, than to get my funds stolen. Plus, a lot of other exchanges actually make this mandatory, not just on new IP logins.

You could ask bittrex about it, though. It's worth a shot. Perhaps they've got the answer.

Thanks for clarifyng me what could have happened, (signing transaction and not broadcasting)

yes, I did 2 withdrawals with the same problem, at distance of 30 minutes one fron another. The first (and smaller) of the two, arrived the next morning. The other one (and unfortunately bigger) still not in my wallet, and 27 hours have passed.

txid: dfaa6cd979109e184d33707342f75ce4c6cd34ddb47c715dfc757cdfc4d424dd

Hopefully they can eventually come through for you but they are unreliable af. Would not recommend using them again, until they sort out their piece of crap support and account limits. They just never come through when you need your money fast.

I searched up your txid on blockcypher and it says that your txid is not even a valid txid for LTC, so i'm not sure. It just be not broadcasted, but then why isn't it a valid txid for LTC? I don't know, ask the LTC experts. I don't know anything about litecoin lol.

But in every scenario possible, poloniex is the ones at fault. Contact their support.
4183  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Cex.io missing 2500 euros. on: December 15, 2017, 11:09:47 PM
Two weeks ago I deposited via a dela bank transfer 2500 euros to my cex.io account. But after sending countless emails trying to find why hasn't my account been credited. I get nothing more than the following automated email:

Quote
We are sorry for delayed reply. Due to extremely high load of requests it will take us extra time to resolve your issue. Our support team is working around the clock to reduce the queue, and we will reply to you as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience.

I'm beginning to think that I won't see my money again. It's been over two weeks after a dela deposit that takes 24 hours. And I'm getting nothing more than a standard automated response.

Should have researched before you sent them anything.

If you just did the tiniest bit of research you could have seen on the forum that cex.io complaints are basically making up the bulk of the service discussion/scam accusation sections right now. But since you already sent it it's a bit too late.

You can just follow the automated email, really. Wait for a while and see what happens.

Since it's a bank transfer there is a likelihood that you will be able to reverse the transaction, so check if that is possible with the bank that you're with, if they do not deliver in 1 month.

Hi

I'm about to sign up to genesismining.org but it seems lika a imposter. Found genesis-mining.com that look more legitim. Am I about to get scammed  Huh

Best wishes

Frank

Yes, you're about to get scammed if you registered on the first one. They are just a flat out imposter and i can't find anything about them that would indicate to me that they're just an alternate domain of the actual genesis mining operation.

The real domain is https://www.genesis-mining.com/, the first hit on google(not google ads cause they can be imposters as well).

I would STRONGLY discourage you from inesting in even the legit one, though. Because at the end of the day you ain't going to get away with much profit, and that is IF you get any profits. Most people lose a lot of money by investing in cloud mining naively.
4185  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could Argentines crash Bitcoin at the end of December because of a new tax? on: December 15, 2017, 10:59:48 PM
In Argentina, a new tax is about to be approved that will charge profits for holding cryptocurrencies with 15% per year. (Source) This tax applies for everybody that made profits of more than approximately 3.500 USD per year, so everybody that held more than 0,25 BTC in 2017 would be affected.

This tax will be possible to be charged retroactively, but it will come into effect on January 1, 2018. So everybody that sells before that date, will not have to pay the tax for profits that have accumulated until that day.

Even if you don't believe it: Argentines are a significant Bitcoin holder group. A history of restrictive exchange regulations (the last "restrictive" phase lasting from 2011 to 2014/2015) made many people aware of cryptocurrencies. And at least one of the historical Core contributors is an Argentine.

So it's a pretty likely scenario that Argentine holders could move the price a bit. But maybe it's nothing to worry about: They could re-buy at January 1, so they get only charged for profits after that date.

Is it bad? Absolutely. And they seem to be targeting explicitly cryptocurrency holders, it seems. It doesn't apply to gold or other assets, just cryptocurrencies. And 15% is a pretty high amount to pay, especially if you're just a small time trader barely making the 3.5k cutoff mark.

But it's not going to crash bitcoin, 100% no. If bitcoin crashes by the end of the year it's not because of this new rule in Argentina.

They may obviously hold some bitcoin as a nation but they are nothing compared to korea/china/japan/usa, etc. And when china banned exchanges the markets reacted with nothing. I doubt they'll be reacting any worse for this case.
4186  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: I am so dumb! Localbitcoins on: December 15, 2017, 10:56:23 PM
I made my first purchase through localbitcoins today. I bought $224.00 worth of bitcoin for $875.00 Angry

I did not realize it until after it was too late. I foolishly thought I just type in the amount in USD and that was how much BTC I got. Im so mad a myself. Then I realized after that the seller had the value of one btc at $51,000!!! Aside from an idiot like me. Who would pay that for a bitcoin when its not worth near that much.

Ok rant over!

Ouch! That must have hurt.

Always, always check the current prcice of bitcoin before blindly buying from loclabitcoins. In fact i'd say that even the best offers on both sides of the book on localbitcoins carry around a 10-15% spread to them normally, which is really huge compared to the rates that you could be getting if you just verified yourself on a government regulated exchange(of course you would be doing KYC and all that).

There are going to be anomaly offers and you probably just chose that. Same thing on paxful.

Be careful man. Dont make the same mistake twice.
4187  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Changelly.com - SCAM PROOF HERE on: December 15, 2017, 10:49:33 PM
The first link that you provided just links to the home page of their site, so either it's that they've removed the transaction already or it's because only if you're logged in as the right person can you actually see the transaction on their site.

Anyways, you're definitely not the only one here talking about delayed transactions on changelly.

Does this transaction involve ETH? Because it says on their site that ETH transactions will be delayed a little, though it does not justify them delaying this for 8 days and counting now. You should write to them on reddit, their reddit account is quite active.
4188  Economy / Lending / Re: Buy/refinance my student loans? on: December 15, 2017, 09:33:40 PM
I'm honestly not sure, I was hoping that there was a possibility of signing a legally binding agreement. I don't have anything of that level of value (except my education =/).

I doubt anyone is going to be able to fill your loan request.

You're much better off trying to get the money from a family member/friends or even refinance your loan with a loan shark irl than taking a loan out for bitcoin. For one, since you're completely anonymous and unknown to us, you'll be expected to pay way bigger interest than if you were taking out a loan from the bank irl.

I understand your situation, but this is simply not for you. I would suggest you lock the thread, unless you have valid collateral. Plus if you take a loan out in bitcoin, and bitcoin price rises fast, then you'd be pretty much screwed as well.
4189  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: CEX stole my deposit. Over two weeks waiting. on: December 15, 2017, 10:35:15 AM
cex is a SCAM.

I deposited 800€ over two weeks ago and my money is nowhere to be seen.

There is no customer support. Nobody answer my tickets.

Money stolen by cex.

They pretend to be an exchange but they are thieves.

Not just you either but a lot of other people have similar issues with cex.io.

I actually wouldn't really hesitate calling them a scam right now. I see their ads every single day on youtube, which shows that they are still willing to spend money on advertising their business. Yet they don't seem to have spent any effort in maintaining the accounts of their customers which really sucks because i remember they were one of the best places to exchange fiat to BTC before, with cloud mining as well.

Keep contacting support and hope to see a response. That's pretty much all you can do.
4190  Economy / Lending / Re: .03 BTC loan with collateral on: December 15, 2017, 09:59:14 AM
Loan Amount: BTC0.03
Bitcoin Address: 1CApySSSJC6zhkiLbR7inzkuDfnBD2fF8C  (this is my bittrex' BTC address)
Number of days: 30
Collateral offered: 2880 POT coins
Reason for loan: Price went down from the invested amount, instead of selling at low price I'd rather loan the coin to earn from the loaned amount
Interest: upon negotiation, first time to do this.


prefer someone who will put the coin on an exchange and auto sell it @ 3000sats


Can fill your loan request as long as i get to either sell the potcoin when the value drops below 110% of the loan value or i'll just put a stop loss order on an exchange of your liking. Either way i'm fine with as long as the exchange is legit and all.

And yeah i can place the order at 0.00003 as well though just keep in mind that bittrex cancels orders over 28 days now.

Interest we can negotiate in private, let me know if lone shark doesnt get back to you or something. Otherwise totally fine with him filling it as well, don't mind at all.
4191  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will surpass $500,000 by the end of 2018 on: December 15, 2017, 09:50:29 AM
Since China shut down exchanges bitcoin has been growing at a rate of 1% per day.  This is because lets estimate at least 5 million coins are stuck in china and can't be traded so the overall tradeable supply of bitcoin is much less than it was before september 30th.  Less supply means increase in price.

Bitcoin will continue an average growth of 1% per day until the world runs out of money or china reopens exchanges and a massive dump occurs.  The equation is:

starting value x (1.01)^(# of days in the future)

Once bitcoin hits 1 million it will stall, this is because the world will literally run out of money.  At this point china will launch the cryptoyuan and allow people to trade bitcoin for it.  Then when the chinese government gets all its people's bitcoin, it will dump them on the open market and attempt to make 5 trillion dollars and pay off their national debt.

That's complete horseshit. 1% is ponzi returns and can't be sustained. Even if bitcoin does continue to go up throughout the year 2018 it's not going to go up 1% per day, it'll slow down dramatically because there is just a limit to how much money people will be willing to pour into cryptos. I personally think that the cap is set at around $100k, maximum, at the best case scenario.

Talking about $500k or $1 million is just not going to happen, and is what john mcafee is preaching.

Plus Chinese bitcoins are not just stuck there. If you haven't realised, there is such thing as p2p trading in china and i'm sure a lot of people have offshore accounts and all that. Don't worry - if they want to cash out, they'll find a way to and they've already done so and price is relatively unaffected.
4192  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bittrex Fiat Trading on: December 15, 2017, 09:30:51 AM
Bittrex will allow you to deposit FIAT to them.

Provided you're willing to send more than 100K USD. They will exchange to USDT on 1:1 basis.

Yeah pretty much. They're basically accepting fiat through this USDT proxy probably because of regulatory concerns, they do not want to become an actual fiat currency exchange and rather just stick to whatever they are doing now.

For anyone interested the change was made a while back in August and can be viewed here: https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001293992-Purchase-USDT-via-Wire-Transfer

It's not for everyone though with the $100k minimum deposit, and even for the whales i doubt they will choose bittrex honestly. There's a lot of exchanges with better features and more volume, as well as better support that support fiat direct.

Bitstamp reply my ticket:"thank you for reaching out.

We have received your withdrawal request which is currently pending to be further processed on our end.

Due to current surge in demand, SEPA and wire withdrawals are taking extra time to process.

Please rest assured that we strive to process all requests as soon as possible. In case any additional information from you will be required, we will contact you via our support ticket system.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Should you have any additional questions in the meantime, please do not hesitate to ask."



https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitstamp/comments/7jrdob/post_here_if_fiat_withdrawal_succeeded/




Well it's exactly what they said. They either have a huge problem with their backend in terms of banking system not allowing them to keep accounts with them anymore for the purposes of dealing with cryptos(like bitfinex), or it's what they stated, there is just a surge of demand in terms of cashouts that doesn't allow them to process your particular withdrawal quickly enough.

Either way, nothing you can do about it really to help the situation.

Just remind them if they forget to contact you and wait. Bitstamp is a regulated exchange so they wouldn't just exit scam.
4194  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Help! Is CEX a scam???? on: December 15, 2017, 09:16:06 AM
Hey guys

Please help.

I deposited bitcoin from my wallet into my CEX account and nothing has come through. I've tried making contact with them but I'm not getting any response. I'm starting to get a little worried that they're a scam and I'm never going to see my money again.

Any advice on what to do?

Cheers

First, check if you're just freaking out for no reason because your transaction was sent to a wrong address, wasn't sent at all, or isn't confirmed yet. This happens a lot to people who see their deposit missing, and i've definitely seen this myself as well.

Secondly, if you're sure 100% that the transaction is legit, then you should proceed to contact their support.

Cex.io lately has been getting lots of complaints and honestly you should have researched before you used their services. Otherwise, you're shooting yourself in the foot with your lack of knowledge before you actually use them.
4195  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Money stuck in CoinBase, how to get out ? on: December 15, 2017, 09:13:49 AM
Hi guys, as a UK customer, i have some money in my GBP wallet over at Coinbase and also around 9 euros i sent them via international payment for verification which has ended up in my Euro wallet.

Its been almost 5 business days and my Account is still saying you cant withdraw anything until my Bank Account is verified.

Im kind of getting a bit worried that if Coinbase was to shut down i would lose not only my coins but also my coin-buying funds.

I have tried sending support a email asking when will the verification be complete but no answer yet.  Huh

The irony is i can buy more funds using my Bank Card (upto a limit) but i cant withdraw  Embarrassed

Anyone else been in this situation ?

How long did it take you to get your bank account verified at Coinbase so you could withdraw direct to your Bank Account?

They're obviously taking their time with verification.

I'm not sure, you may be submitting accidentally wrong information regarding your ID or they could just be delaying your verification for whatever reason that we don't know. They're definitely undermanned in terms of their support though, meaning that if you send in a support request you're literally mailing your query into a huge black hole.

A lot of people have had their transactions stuck pending or even their accounts suspended. So you're not the only one here.
4196  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: WARNING Neteller takes your bitcoins and gives you joke money on: December 15, 2017, 09:09:35 AM
Lol what? What good is an international remittance company going to do if they restrict their customers spending to european banks? I've had similar tsruggles actually with neteller except it's their stupid restrictions on how money can be spent... I remember there was a restriction with you can't actually send neteller funds deposited with bitcoin to other users, you actually need to spend it with a merchant.

If you don't live in the EU and you don't want to identify yourself, then neteller isn't for you.

Actually their fees are so uncompetitive that i'm sure paypal beats them.
4197  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Stabilizing At $20K on: December 14, 2017, 08:56:51 AM
Could it happen? Absolutely it could. Though i think things will actually turn out a lot more dramatic than bitcoin rising to $20k and stabilising there. It's more likely that a huge bitcoin bubble builds up and then a huge crash brings it down again, stabilizing at around September-November price levels.

It's always rare in a bubble scenario for something to just break barriers and then stay there. People are going to be tempted to buy at first because of FOMO and later on dump because of the fear of losing money - again.

I mean stabilising prices are obviously ideal but i don't think it's likely.
4198  Economy / Speculation / Re: will we see bitcoin price 20k by jaunary 1st 2018 on: December 14, 2017, 08:43:10 AM
will we see bitcoin price continue going up or will it crash?

I'm not sure whether the price will hit $20k by january 1st but it's not going to crash either. The price is going to AT LEAST increase to $20k before any major corrections taking place, in my opinion. Not going to be any sooner than that.

Right now we're just on the way to $20k or more, thus you see virtually no change in price in the past few days.

Though if there are negative news coming out before the new year, it could effect the price a little bit. In that case, we'll need some more time to hit $20k, but it'll still happen.
4199  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin has dropped 1000 USD today13 December 2017 on: December 14, 2017, 08:36:45 AM
hi , is there something to be worried about here since Bitcoin has dropped 1000 USD today , very scary

No idea what the reason is. Probably just panic dumpers dumping their coin because they haven't seen profit for a few days now or profit takers wanting to make money and pull out their investment from bitcoin because it rose so fast.

Either way, i'm holding for now. $20k is going to happen soon and it's just a bad idea to dump this soon i think.

A $1k dump is actually only around 6% right now which isn't that big of a deal honestly, especially for cryptos since they are just so volatile. No need to panic at all.
4200  Economy / Speculation / Re: When BTC will go down on: December 12, 2017, 08:13:10 AM
Hi community, now btc is more then 15500 wha do you think - when is better to sell it? when  price will go down?
I think we should sell when price hit $25,000 and that is were I expect a serious clash or big corrections. I have see many speculations why bitcoin is going to fall and when is going to clash it will fall to close to  $3,500. I therefore disagree with them and speculate that bitcoin will not fall below  $10,000 before end of 2018, I expect this bitcoin is still going up.

It's not really a good idea to set a target when you don't know what exactly is going to happen yet. Instead i would definitely think that seeking out market trends as they come by is a much better strategy in terms of timing your exit.

Personally, i think it's going to be somewhere betwene july and august that the BTC price will go down dramatically.

Before that we should see a lot of rallies that brings the prcie up to $30k+, before a crash happens. Expect a lot of adjustments in price as the rally goes on though.
