Two should be enough in my opinion. One of storing and one for recovering in case something happens to the first device.

Don't use wallets like Jaxx and Exodus, they are not open source, you never know what's going behind the scenes and If they have access to your funds or not.

Store everything in one device, write the seed down in multiple pieces of papers and hide them in different locations. If the hardware wallet gets lose or damaged, you could use the seed to recover your coins.

The name was kinda a bad choice because from googling, I came across BitPlaza.biz which seems like a Ponzi scheme website. I understand that you're not related to them, but still, you don't want to lose potential customers.

Regarding the international shipping, which carrier are you going to use and how come the prices are fixed and not based on weight?

بالاضافة الى ماقاله الأخ خالد و في حالة عدم استعمال المحافظ التي تدعم البروتوكول المستعمل من طرف BitPay. يمكن استعمال هذا الموقع

فقط ضع رابط الدفع و انقر على Go و الموقع سوف يعطيك المحفظة و الكمية (بالساتوشي) التي يجب ارسالها.

It's a wallet that you should stay away from[1][2][3][4]. I don't suggest multi-coin wallets because they're not open source and there is a lack of transparency, but If you still want to use one, go with something like Coinomi or Exodus. These wallets don't have atomic swap feature, but you could always use exchanges such as swap.online for that purpose.

Apparently, while legitimate mixing services are closing, others are opening and trying to scam people.

URL: ledgermixer.com

As a start, they are claiming they are related to Ledger wallet by using their name and website design... which is not the case as Ledger haven't announced anything.

Details about the domain name:


The domain was created 1 week ago, and we can already see it being advertised, indirectly where the user claims that he tested various mixers...

Basically, the same post posted in different sites (Bitcointalk, Cracked.io, Bitcoin.com forums):

And the latest thread which I've just come across: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5151973.0;topicseen (Screenshot)

I know that most of the people here are smart enough to not fall for this but still, I've seen people falling for scams that are more obvious. I just wanted to make this thread, so hopefully, If someone looks for the service, he stumbles upon this thread.

Most of these cards use the same providers, so It's very unlikely that you'll find one that has these requirements If the others don't.

I'm curious to know which services have you tried though? because according to this list, Advcash seems to be the only one on the market that offer virtual cards.

Looking at the trading volume and the fact that they are hosting IEOs etc. definitely adds credibility but I've seen them having some serious scam accusations[1][2][3][4][5] in the past.

It could've been some technical problems, as these accusations started to raise up in December 2017 and Jan/February 2018 but it could also not be the same, as some of the users never reported that their withdrawal issues have been resolved.

There are plenty of exchanges that use OKPay, Payza, Perfect Money and other payment methods that Exmo use, you could use them instead. If you can't find any, go with P2P trading. There is no reason to trust them with your money If you have alternatives.

You could use the digital goods section for the MS office keys but make sure to prove how they were obtained If you don't want to receive negative trust, most of them are not from legitimate sources and stops working after a while. Alternatively, you can use OpenBazaar for both physical and digital goods. I wouldn't use other platforms, especially If you're trying to avoid fees and commissions.

Never heard of it actually, I'm going to give it a try. Thanks


The problem I'm facing is not on finding someone to trade with, but the time the process could take. Most of them, I don't find anyone online, and when I do, they take time to respond. I rather use a service sometimes even If it means paying some fees because it's much faster.


It was a typo, I believe he was referring to TransCoin.me.

لقد قمت بالتكلم عن الموضوع سابقا في المنتدى الانجليزى لكن أعتقد أن له أهمية أكبر في المنتدى العربي...


كل شخض من الدول أعلاه لن يكون بامكانه الدفع على المواقع التى تستعمل BitPay للاستقبال. يمكن تجاوز الأمر من خلال استعمال VPN طبعا لكن حذاري فبعض المواقع لن تقبل الأمر. و ان كنت تستعمل مواقع مثل نتلر أو سكريل فسوف يكون ذلك من دون فائدة لان خاصية الدفع عن طريق البيتكوين لن تكون ظاهرة..

I'm far from being knowledgable when it comes to mining alts but I believe ethOS is what I've seen people using and suggesting as well.  Alternatively, you also have SMOS.

I'm using the Windows version but I don't think it matters. You should be able to access it by going to Wallet => Seed where you have to type your password first in order to see it.

يمكنك التحويل الى أي محفظة تريد لكن لن يكون بامكانك الاستقبال لأن  معظم المحفظات و منها محفظة البلوكشين لا تدعم الارسال الى محافظ SegWit (bc1).

Mind explaining this further as I'm not sure I got it. You're going to launch a crypto wallet that let users connect to their full nodes? But... people won't have to go through the process of setting everything themselves?


What I understood from this is that you'll be doing it for the user, in other words, hosting the full nodes in your servers? doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of what you're trying to do?

I'm interested in exchanges that let you sell your BTC to Skrill or PayPal without the need of going through KYC verification.

The only exchange that I found to be reliable so far is Paybis.com but according to their TOS, it's possible that they'll ask you for documents at a certain point.

My answer was about how much money Exodus is making from ShapeShift's partnership. It's unclear how much ShapeShift are making, but they're claiming they have the best rates, not sure how accurate that is as I haven't used them that much.

You also have Changelly (used by multiple wallet providers as well) which apparently, charge a flat 0.5% fee. Read this article[1] for more info about the two.

As for the KYC, these tweets[1][2] should answer your question.

Just like most of the other wallet providers with a built-in exchange, they're using third-party services, ShapeShift in this case. They should earn 0.25% (monthly basis) of the volume provided to the exchange. I don't think they are taking anything else on the side, otherwise, it would've been noticeable.

Multi assets wallets like Jaxx, Exodus, Coinomi, Atomic wallet, etc. tend to be closed source and not transparent, I wouldn't suggest them.

So unless you're using a hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger, for example, It's better to get a wallet for each coin (If they are ERC20 tokens, you should be fine with one wallet).

I'm not aware of any web wallets with that feature but Electrum, Mycelium, Trezor, and Ledger nano S should allow you to export it.

I'm very unfamiliar with prices but as I paid for the prime status I was thinking that 25$ would be fair for it.
