4601  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is your favorite trading exchange ? on: August 26, 2017, 05:53:14 AM
Hi all,

What is your favorite trading exchange ?
Why do you prefer this exchange ?
Do you trade only with your PC or do you use your smartphone also ?

Thanks  Wink

Definitely bittrex, however not by a far margin.

This is due to the fact that the amount of complaints regarding bittrex seems to be increasing. I do not know for sure whether it's just because poloniex lost a lot of their customers due to the fact that trollbox got shut down and whatnot leading to bittrex having to handle way more customers than it's used to, or it's just bittrex slacking off. Either way, it's their fault.

Exchanges are getting stricter and stricter regarding KYC, which is a real pain in the ass. I use shapeshift for my day to day altcoin transactions now, it's worth the premium.
4602  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Liquidity problems for BIG Day-Traders on: August 26, 2017, 04:18:40 AM
Hi,

As someone who's been trading profitably for a month now, with results many daytraders can only dream of (about 10 to 1 win/loss ratio). Now I'm at a point where I want to amp up my game by increasing my order sizes.

I was wondering how the big boys manage their trading when it comes to liquidity. If you trade the highest volume coins, this is not much of an issue. But how do you deal with liquidity on the ones that fall just out of the biggest volume coins? Do you have issues getting filled? What about moving the market unintentionally. I'm talking about short term daytrading, trades range from about 5 minutes to a couple hours.

Basically, what are big money trader's issues vs the small traders?

(With big trades I'm talking about 25k to 50k trades)

As pooya said, this is probably the biggest issue that big traders have.

As you become more advancaded in trading it just becomes more and more of a chess game. You no longer ride the whales but rather you are the whale. You are essentially competing with other traders to gain the upper hand.

If you just want to become a market-maker then use a bot for that. The trick is to usually have multiple small orders on various sites instead of one big order on one site. That way, you won't move the market as much, or at least people won't perceive it as so.

What happened was i received a pretty dodgy in PM soon after meatmeat sent his repayment, saying that he needed a 0.06 BTC loan.

Quote
Hey can you lend me 0.06 BTC?

Thanks
However, the address did not match up with any of the previously used address by meatmeat so I talked to him on hangouts about it, and he said that it wasn't him. I advised him to change his password so that the hacker cannot access his account anymore.

This loan was after he sort out everything, and i requested a signed message which checked out. I funded the loan to the address that he usually uses as well.

The loan request on your thread was most likely posted by the hacker, this one is by the real meat meat.

I don't argue that, it seems like the timestamps match and you also get a signed message from a known Address of meatmeat.
Still though i also get a PM before he post at my Thread. http://imgur.com/a/3SAft
When i reply that he needs to post at my Thread, in order to answer him about his Loan Request, i get this PM : http://imgur.com/a/wsfUo
As you see the time difference between his answers is two hours long. I don't know when you get the PM about the 0.06BTC Loan Request and when the PM about his Account was hacked.
I just wonder how easy and fast is to get back your hacked Account...
By the way, if you have your Account hacked, you would still ask for a Loan? Huh

Upon checking seclog when i suspected his account got hacked i found no records of his password being changed. Therefore i think it is safe to deduce that the hacker didn't want to attract attention to the hacked account by changing the password.

So basically, i think what happened was that meatmeat and the hacker had access to the same password, hacker did not change the password.

All meatmeat had to do to "recover" his account was to change the password. But it was in his possession anyways, so it is better worded as shutting the hacker out.

I granted his loan because i felt like i could take the risk. Obviously there is an increased chance of loan default, but since i got his signed message and talked to him on a platform that he is definitely not hacked on, i'm more optimistic.
4604  Economy / Investor-based games / Re: Bitpetite tumbler on: August 26, 2017, 01:05:42 AM
Anyone have thoughts about the bit petite tumbler and if its legit and how long it will last. I've invested about 10 ether and i am withdrawing my dividends. but skeptical about putting them back in for another 6 weeks

Do not reinvest. Get your money and run with it.

You shouldn't have even invested in the beginning because this was clearly a ponzi scheme. The leading banks can't even get 3% per day so why do you think some website that some anonymous admin runs will be able to provide it?

This site has nothing to do with tumblin coins, either.

If you want to mix your coins, use a reputable service like chipmixer in my sig.

Well said. Anything that promises you a stable return is something that you should avoid, because there is no stability in this world. Even banks can fail and your investment can go to 0(unlikely but possible).

By investing in a ponzi you're essentially saying bye-bye to your coins.

Don't let the Bitpetite site fool you. I know it looks extremely professional but it is probably made from a template or something like that, that costs no more than a few thousand dollars. If you invest, you're just feeding the scammers and giving them funds to fuel their future projects.

Withdraw all your dividends and withdraw your principal as fast as you can.
4605  Economy / Speculation / Re: When will it fall? on: August 26, 2017, 01:02:44 AM
what comes up must come down.


Worst analogy ever. This can only happen to something that is completely worthless and useless. The stock market has never went to $0 EVER.

It can go bearish to an untested support, but I would not go short anything technology. If there is one sector that is evolving, its technology. Even if there is short term downtrend, the smart idea would be to buy the dip and sell gradually at profits. It is the common nature of markets in general and it doesn't operate any differently in the crypto/bitcoin world.

That is completely not true. So are you saying that you are going to invest in something that is useful, but is overbought? It's probably not very good advice to give out imo considering the fact that we have seen many instances of this happening before such as the dotcom bubble. I'm not saying that bitcoin is going to crash as hard as the dotcom bubble nor is it as overbought as tech firms in the dotcom bubble, but it's a similar sort of thing.

We're nearing the all time high once again so i'm not sure. I think since segwit has been activated we can definitely expect more pumps to come in as people become optimistic. But after that, i think we can expect a pretty big fall. I'd say around mid-september, we'll see a dip below $4k once again.

4610  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Poloniex - new deposit addresses - Generating... on: August 24, 2017, 10:59:56 AM
Hello all,

I wanted to see if anyone else is having issues generating deposit addresses on Poloniex.

I have tried to create a couple, being BTC, Byte and some others and they all just sit there at

Generating...

I just sent in a ticket but being it has been 9 days since i put in another ticket and no responses yet I am not overly hopeful of any actual help from them.

Tried it under Chrome and Edge with the same result.

I've just deposited on poloniex a small amount everything seems to be fine.

To clarify what your issue is exactly, you're getting the "generating" sign when you click on deposit on a certain coin, right? And usually you'll get an address eventually but it's just stuck there for you, is that right?

If the above is true, then try on a different device, see if you have any extensions interfering with poloniex. Try to go on incognito mode and do it. If none of this works, then use an already used deposit address that you know of and deposit it there, it should still show up on your account. But you're carrying a risk here of poloniex disabling the previous addresses after 1st August, and your deposit getting lost forever. Only do it if you're desperate to get money in.

Hi

What do you think market response of the segwit on August 24rd 2017 @ 12:30 UTC

Time may be changed.

Segwit is good news for users of payment, but what do traders think ?

Bitcoin market price will rise up, or not.

I think segwit is useful, for Bitcoin will be more higher price !


Now,market price is going down...


Why?


The response hasn't really been that strong imo. I sort of expected a bigger pump, but right now the price is actually in the red for 24h gains which means that it is probably going to adjust upwards a bit soon.

Though i don't think the price will necessarily go up over the next few months collectively i do think that people just haven't responded to the segwit activation just yet. in a few hours time i expect the price to go up by at least 2-3% further.

Anyways, i'd expect the price to max out at around $4500 once again, before correcting.
4612  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price of Bitcoin by 2018? on: August 24, 2017, 08:20:58 AM
Do you think that BTC can price $10,000 in 2018?

Yes, there is a big possibility for this to happen in 2018 when all the SegWit talks would finally be gone. Right now, there is some bickering among the Bitcoin community in relation the scheduled November event. We are hoping that soon things can get really better for Bitcoin and that it can finally be free from too much politicking.

Let's assume that everything goes well, i still don't think that we will be able to achieve $10k by the end of next year. We'd be lucky if the price just stayed the same as it is right now because we are most likely in a bubble at the moment, and it could crash, and there is no denying it.

I think that the price will stabilize at around $3800-4000 in 2018. It's probably not going to be a crazy growth year for bitcoin like we have seen this year, but hopefully everything goes alright and the price at least holds up reasonably well.

As i said, i am extremely bullish for the long run still. I'm not saying btc is dead, or anything like that. BTC is alive and well, and will thrive. We just need to give it a bit more time than just a year.
4613  Economy / Speculation / Re: $100000 by 2024? on: August 24, 2017, 08:17:29 AM
A nice trend line on the logarithmic chart to keep track off





It seems to be working. I see a lot of people using the linear chart with Bitcoin, I think it's pointless at this point. To understand what's going on you need the logarithmic chart, otherwise you are going to think we are on a constant bubble. People have been looking at the linear chart since $1800 and saying it's too pumped because when you look at the all time graph in the linear view, it gives you a ridiculous green candle. Gotta look at this thing in log mode from now on.

Could be possible, because of the fact that the price seems to be at least rising by 5x every single halving and this is a trend that we have established in the past 2 halvings already. Actually, this year's halving brought around a tidy 9-10x profit for investors.

If we just have a 4x rise per halving, then btc will still be at around 70k by the end of 2024. $100k isn't really a worry if you take into account the hype that will be generated that will be short term, and btc will be considered a hedge against inflation meaning more people investing.

However i do think that $100k by 2024 is a hard thing to achieve. Make it 2030 and i'll have full confidence in your prediction.
4614  Economy / Speculation / Re: When will it fall? on: August 24, 2017, 07:20:24 AM
It's been on a high lately, and I would've guessed that it would've fell already, but it keeps climbing. When will it fall? When should we sell? Or should we hold through the next fall?
what comes up must come down.


IMO, we have already adjusted and Segwit has come. The price seems to be stable currently, but i think that we may see another dump soon after because price is still above $4k which i don't think it belongs to at the moment.

The timing is very hard to predict but if i had to bet my money i would say somewhere between 2-3 weeks later. Because right now, Segwit's effects are only starting to kicking in. After SW discussions and celebrations starts to fade, then the price will go down.

There could be another round of pumps, but even if there was it won't be very big ones.
4615  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: sportsbet.io scammed me for 1.5 bitcoins - NEVER PLAY HERE on: August 23, 2017, 08:45:50 AM
SCAMMED BY SPORTSBET.IO

What Happened

I was about to receive some money from my client and I was not sure the address he was paying was a address in my wallet or not, so I contacted the chat available there at the bottom of the site and asked them to verify if the address in question is a deposit address of their site and if it's ok to receive funds there, he told me yeah it's absolutely fine. Now after I had my client deposited like 1.5 bitcoins the chat agent tells me sorry I was wrong, it's not a address you can deposit funds to.

You only tell me when he confirmed that it's fine to deposit to the address and I got funds there now he tells that is wrong address, should they not refund me because it's mistake on their part.

And mind you I have lost 25+ bitcoins there overall, so obviously this is a accident and not planning.

Have they emailed you the chat transcript at all? Because usually what happens is after any sort of chat session with a live support, sites usually give you the option to enter your email and have the transcript mailed to you.

This could be proof that they are indeed scamming, and you should post it here if you have it. You only have what happened, which is good. But you have no proof to back up what you're claiming.

Anyways, imo support represents the site. If support is so careless then think about what the site can do, especially when dealing with highrollers whom you have the majority of your income from.
4616  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] ChipMixer - mixing reinvented on: August 23, 2017, 08:22:57 AM
I from time to time need to hand out payments to a wide variety of people, but at this point there is no way I can send an exact amount of coins to a certain address if I choose the option to have ChipMixer send various chip values to whatever address. The fees that ChipMixer deducts for the transaction will always result in an odd amount to be sent to the provided address.
ChipMixer is not a wallet but a privacy tool. Sweeping option is there for people who does not know how to import private keys into their wallet.


I was wondering if there was still any bitcoin cash left to claim in any of the private keys? Or basically in a simpler way, whether any of the private keys or chips that you guys have still happen to have funding that occurred before 1st August?
No. When we have reenabled ChipMixer after fork all available chips that contained both BTC and BCH were withdrawn by users in 12h. That high traffic seemed weird at that time but now we know somebody predicted value of forked coin.


Also, may i ask what's the total amount of chips in existence? Both number wise, and value wise. I know this may be sensitive info, but please respond with an approximation at least if possible. Thank you!
This is sensitive info, sorry.

Ah okay, it's not surprising really considering the fact that BCH was worth a several hundred dollars even back then when the fork just happened(it's obviously a lot higher now), people must have been taking advantage of the chips containing BCH, i guess.

And yeah, i definitely understand why you're protecting that info.

I really just wanted to get an idea of how big Chipmixer is right now. Could you even release some info on the 24h volume, or how much money is being mixed in a day's time? Or is that sensitive info as well? (sorry if it is, i'm just curious.).
4617  Economy / Speculation / Re: Legendary Bitcoin Trader “masterluc” Predicts $15,000 Bitcoin This Year on: August 23, 2017, 08:08:25 AM
Ask any oldtimer, and you’ll find that masterluc is something of a legend in the Bitcoin community. His main claim to fame is that he called the top of the November 2013 Bitcoin bubble and the subsequent bear market.

On December 6, with the price at $1100, he said:

“Third day in a row I wake up, see charts and ask myself "Is this the end?" and third day in a row answer is "Yes.” End of first historical bullish trend 2010-2013.”

https://cointelegraph.com/news/legendary-bitcoin-trader-masterluc-predicts-15000-bitcoin-this-year

Honestly, anyone can make these sort of claims. It isn't backed by anything tangible, not even sources, reasons.

Just plain old prediction using his gut feeling. Which i know sometimes can be helpful but definitely isn't a reliable indicator of what the market is going to go to, simply because it isn't rational. Traders aren't rational at all, that's why there is potential profits to be made.

I do think that btc is going to go up at least to 5k this year. 15k is 3x that, i don't think it's going to happen. It'll essentially mean that the bitcoin market cap will go to something like 400 billion dollars, which is something i think we will achieve in the long run, but definitely not this year.

Don't forget, corrections can come any moment right now as well. That would slow down growth drastically.
4618  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Will Be $100 Tomorrow! on: August 23, 2017, 07:31:08 AM
I am getting tired of all these posts in this forum expressing apprehension over the current dip that Bitcoin got into. Rather than spread FUD, we should see the history of Bitcoin and by doing so we could realize that this is quite normal. There had been many price corrections in the past and there can be in the future.

Those new to Bitcoin have to just relax and hold on to their Bitcoin as soon our beloved coin can be back on surging. Remember that any dip in price can mean an opportunity for many to beef up their Bitcoin hoard...and that in turn will re-energize the whole market and before we know it Bitcoin is again slowly climbing up the hill.

Would you like to Bitcoin to go down as $100? Of course yes, so that we can all buy as many Bitcoin as we want. Though it is just a dream...it might not happen.

Exactly, the dip is going to come, sooner or later.

When we say that there is probably going to be an adjustment coming it's not because we want to spread FUD. It is because bitcoin is definitely in a bubble, and the end of growth will come no matter what. There is no way that this type of growth is going to be sustained for a long period of time.

Again, we've seen the rebound that comes directly after the dip. By buying in the dip, you are able to get yourself some cheap coins.

Just remember btc price is like a pendulum. It always over-corrects.

all correct, I've sent the last 2.711 so the exact collateral is now 8.011LTC, please send remainder of the loan amount once it confirms


For the record, here's the three collateral transactions:
http://explorer.litecoin.net/tx/b919d58afdbddd78e852197b8ace11795e69af2dbac5dc8ae76ca2a418aee601#o0

For a total of 8.011 LTC as you mentioned.

Loan has been sent, similarly in 3 increments:

Just a reminder that LTC price did fall a bit today, you might want to readjust the collateral amount if you need. But it's not near the 105% mark yet.

Otherwise, all good. If you have any issues address them to me in PM. Otherwise, talk on 1st September.
