I'm looking for a remote job that either pays in cryptocurrencies or Canadian Dollars and having a hard time finding anything other than very technical jobs. I've been in the customer service industry for 10+ years and the financial/sales industry for 4+ years. I'm actively looking for a full time job locally in Canada but it's 2017 so I thought I would look remotely too!
I am currently in a professional role that speaks to clients over the phone, in person and via email. It's a very closed minded work environment though. The technology is ancient (DOS) and management is pushing for the status quo.
This isn't exactly a resume but if anyone knows of a company that's hiring someone remotely or knows of a customer service company that I could send my resume to I'd be greatly appreciative. You can always send me a PM too.
If I don't find anything full time then part time or contract would also work temporarily. Any tips are welcome too. I've been looking on bitcoin-vacancy, xbtfreelancer, upwork but haven't found anything that I would qualify for yet.

Coinbase does not allow you to import your own addresses into your account.
That is serious violation of free will of user. They should allow that. You can quicky change ur "temporary wallet" solution from coinbase to blockchain.info. Blockchain.info allow you to import private key from what i know. Then you can send from blockchain.info back to ur coinbase account or use it all along. You decide, make ur choice. I'd recommend staying away from any of these Web or online wallets. They hold your bitcoins for you and you can request them from them. It's the exact opposite of what bitcoins are, an unbanked decentralized currency. I will never use blockchain.info after they stole from me. If there is no reason to trust anyone, why trust anyone? They aren't a bank. If your bitcoins are stolen by hackers or an inside job you're going to be on the wrong end of an 'oops, sorry' email. Try electrum or mycelium. Stick with them and don't send any funds to a web wallet. There's no reason to trust them, so don't. |

I have no issue's with running a VM but that seems overkill.
There is no such word in the world of bitcoins. If your money is stolen, it's gone forever. When you're new to the ecosystem it's easy to let that slide but you should really let that sink in. If you lost $100, $1000 or $10,000 could you live with knowing you could have prevented it? If yes, by all means go with a less secure way of crating wallets. I suggest downloading bitaddress.org, running it in a live environment and creating paper wallets to hold large sums. Large is a relative term of course. Anything you aren't too worried about losing you would keep in any hot wallet. I like mycelium on android, electrum on android and Windows. I don't recommend any Web or online wallet or any exchange because all you own at that point is an IOU from a company stating they'll give you x amount of bitcoins if you decide to cash out. Do not confuse them with a bank. Think of them more as a western union (but in the wild west). |

Terrible news, sorry for your luck. I feel like this is a story upon which a Coinbase ad should be made. When was Windows 10 released? Couldn't the lack of time on the market boost its near term success against malware and such? this is a common myth that linux is more secure when in the past there security holes for linux too, windows 7 i not so secure anymore, but windows 10 is a fortress it's very hard to infect if you are not stupid and install malware.exe on your computer Mac has the same process...for better or for worse. actually win 10 will stop you, recently i was going to run a miner(ccminer compiled by a newbie user) which was supsicious and win 10 stopped it before i can even attempt to do so, and it did not the same with the same malware compiled by a trusted dev
The rule of thumb with bitcoins is trust no one, so why trust an OS? I run Linux and windows 10 but I don't use either for storing my bitcoins. It's still trusting that someone doesn't get in somehow. Get a new/unused computer, run Linux in a live environment, make paper wallets with a printer NOT connected to the internet, Bluetooth or anything and store all of your large balances there. I also wouldn't hold all of your bitcoins on one paper wallet. The only people that could steal from you are people who have physical access to your paper wallet. Don't want them to have access? Encrypt it with a password. Done. This should be bitcoin 101 in my books but some people just don't take their security seriously or are very naive. |

Backups from an exchange aren't possible unless they provide you with the private key. I don't know of any exchanges that do. When people talk about backups it's either backing up their 12/18/24 word seed, their wallet.dat from bitcoin core or writing down/printing your private key in more than one physical space or on another piece of hardware like a computer or anything that can store a few bytes of data.
Litecoins just had a huge pump because segwit is going to be activated. I don't see Litecoins actual value as around where the hyped up price is right now. I'd be careful with that. They're what $30 each but a month ago they were steady around $4. Makes you think. Bitcoins have had a good rally of about 40%, but it's also a much bigger market to move than Litecoins.
But anyway about your question, yes the ratio of Litecoins that it takes to purchase a bitcoin would decrease if say bitcoins went up to $2000 and Litecoins stayed the same or the price in USD rose slower.
Edit: just to be clear, you shouldn't leave bitcoins on an exchange or Web wallet. They aren't banks and they aren't insured. If your bitcoins are lost, they're lost forever. I'd recommend a paper wallet created on any Linux live system.
Edit 2: another clarification, if/when the bitcoin ETF is declined tomorrow there will be a dip in bitcoin price. That would help your ltc/btc ratio. No one knows if it will go through though. I'm thinking no, but if it does it would mean lots of money coming into bitcoin = price jump.

This is pretty funny a newbie comming on the forums trying to sell a promotional throw away coin for 100 BTC. I'll offer you .001 LTC for it  Ffs I came too late and the bidding got way out of hand. No one can afford to blow that kind of money on a brass token of a dead shitcoin. You are obviously the litecoin equivalent of Satoshi Nakamoto my friend. I bid you good day.
Or are we trolling the feed?
My brain hurts after reading this thread in it's entirety.
I will trade one large clump of ...premium organic free reign (grass fed?) majestic Shih-tzu fur for your magical token. You send first though. I don't know if an escrow would take this trade seriously enough. |

These accounts can get crossed off the list if they had made it on there yet. It's baby steps but there is some perma-banning going on at least. Apparently the OP of the thread says he had a whole office just spamming bitcointalk. We'll see if he gives up more names, but I highly doubt it. |

Pretty cool idea. What if this was an actual iOS app that tracked your voice and deducted BTC everytime you swore?  Maybe a future blockchain application?  Nevertheless, if I catch myself swearing or cussing someone out, I'll donate some BTC to your address. Now you sir are leaping into the future. That's an amazing idea. If you create that app I'll be the first one to test it out for you hahaha. cool.
so whats the deal with vanities? Aren't they slightly less secure?
In the sense that I'll be using the addresses over and over again, sure. But other than that I'm not sure what you mean. I made the vanity addresses with the help of an Ubuntu Live USB so I'm not open to any threats that may be on my system. If someone else tries to do the same vanity, do they have an increased chance to find a collision? I highly highly doubt it but I I'm not the one to ask about that tbh. The vanitygen thread has lots of experts that you could ask if you're curious. Pretty much every physical bitcoin maker uses vanity addresses as well so that's another entire market that trusts vanity addresses. I'm not saying it's correct, I'm just saying I don't see how it would ever be an issue. Basically all vanitygen does is create hundreds of thousands (or millions) of addresses at random and keeps going and going u tip it finds what you were looking for. To brute force my address would still take you quadrillions of trillions of billions of years. |

My wife is annoyed with my swearing*. I don't do it often IMO but often enough that she thinks my son may pick up on it when he's old enough to understand. I'm trying hard to stop and of course I have people saying to use a swear jar. I can't tell you the last time I've had change on me. I can't tell you the last time I've even used cash. So obviously my idea was to make a BTC Swear Jar! It seems so obvious now! I'll definitely stop swearing if I have to keep adding these small inputs constantly. It'll be so aggravating that eventually I'll just stop swearing, right? I won't be spending any of the funds in this swear jar as they'll be going towards my son's education. He can't even talk yet so I've got some time to save up some bitcoins and let them appreciate. The idea is that I won't be adding much to it for long though because I should be swear free. I'll be starting this shortly. If anyone else needs a swear jar feel free to join in. My vanitygen is just working on an education related vanity address at the moment for all funds to be transferred over to once I'm swear free.
1swEArJRRREVuFYzcsupkaBQ7oVgSPdb4 *Also annoyed with words like stupid, idiot, nincompoopery, deuce, butt, and pretty much anything that comes out of my mouth if I hurt myself. For all intensive purposes I'll be counting those as 'swears' too. Anything you wouldn't expect a toddler to blurt out counts as a swear. |

Theymos , Any Thoughts on the fact Lauda is an extortionist and you completely ignored it , by not perma banning Lauda.  Oh and here I thought getting fired was the opposite of ignoring hahaha. Am I in the twilight zone!? If scammers don't get banned then Lauda would never get banned. That's just not how this forum works. |

Ok I've used vanitygen on Linux a lot of times but I'm terrible with terminal and can't remember what I'm supposed to type. I think after I type one thing I'm supposed to type but I can't remember what the first command should be to actually get it up and running. Is anybody able to post that for me? I'm having a huge brain fart. [/s] Nevermind. As usual if I look for hours, give up and post a question I'll find the answer haha.
For my future reference Command to run Vanitygen working on Linux (Mint 18.1 in my case) cd vanitygen
./vanitygen 1test |

Honestly higher fees are just a workaround. What really needs to be done is we need a larger block and we need the Blockchain spamming to stop. Someone has an agenda to get their version of a larger block activated but I'm not sure who to blame.
Technically yes, you needed a higher fee but that's only because bitcoins as a whole right now are waiting for a solution. If the pissing contests could end we would already have a solution.

I saw it hit $2167 CAD on mycelium so that was pretty exciting. At the moment it's hovering around $2100 CAD. I was expecting a much bigger correction but I guess that will probably come after the ETF news on the 15th. I don't see how the decision would have changed so I'm expecting at least a 10-15% dip like last time it was declined. If it's approved we'll then we're going to te moon so no worries  |

Thanks, and be careful out there - bitcointalk.org links will be green when you hover over them, not blue!!!  If you're on a smartphone I would suggest doing a long press and see the real link you're about to open. That's what I've become accustomed to ever since I saw a link like this posted publicly. The only reason Ientire it is because it's very hard to hover on a smartphone . I use an Android phone btw so the address is laid out at the top of the pop up window. I'm assuming other OSs must have something similar. |

I just distributed 1000 BTC across 4 exchanges. Time to take some profit now. Orders are hidden  Ok but you've put those 900BTC on the wrong side there at Bitstamp, man Hahaha it sure looks that way doesn't it? @OP you're a known troll who has said many times in the past that you don't own any bitcoins and you sold years ago. So it's an obvious troll attempt here. Maybe you should have said a less ridiculous number to be believable. I just bought 2000 bitcoins spread across 4 exchanges. I just can't show TXIDs as they are also hidden transactions. Sorry about that . |

You aren't too late if you just dollar cost average this whole time. That's what I've done and on average I've paid a lot less than the $2060CAD that it currently costs to buy 1 full bitcoin. (or $1500USD I'm assuming, don't really care about USD though).
Also always remember to diversify your investments to mitigate any risks you may have within your portfolio. Bitcoin is obviously a decentralized technology, so invest in something not even remotely close to a decentralized technology. Have you looked at wheat stock lately? Me either. Maybe it's a good time to look though.

I think that it's a problem on imgur's end which is causing it to interact poorly with the image proxy. I changed something which may improve it somewhat, but it'll probably still occur sometimes. It may be best to use something other than imgur where possible.
Well that's good to know. Imgur never worked for me so I started using tinypic and to my knowledge all of my pictures have always worked fine with it. |

I only use shapeshift if I know I need an altcoin fast. It rarely comes up, but it's handy when it does. The fees are high so it's not something I would do regularly (like if you're planning on day trading altcoins) but if you want to trade 100 obscure altcoins for 75 of some other obscure altcoin it is the place to go. The other choice would be to go to a large exchange, place a bid to sell your coins for bitcoins, then trade those bitcoins for the other altcoin you needed. You're mainly just paying a convenience fee.

Not really a solution for electrum here, but have you tried to restore the seed in another client? I've had success in mycelium a few times before so that's the extent of my experience. At the very least it would get you access to your wallet (hopefully).
