Hello everyone. I recently bought some MaidSafeCoins and I have a little problem. I stored them in my wallet but I didn't realize that to withdrawal them I need to pay a fee, and the fee must be paid in Bitcoin. I don't have any Bitcoin so I can't withdraw my coins  . The fee is only 70 satoshi so I have been looking for a faucet or somewhere like that to get them for free, but everywhere I look they have a minimum withdrawal amount, so I can't just withdraw the 70 satoshi. So, the question is, do you have any ideas to obtain those satoshi? Any webpages? Thank you very much! The reason they all have a minimum withdrawal is because the bitcoin protocol no longer allows you to send less than 5500 satoshi in a transaction. So your best bet is to grit your teeth and hit the faucets till you reach the minimum. Look at faucetbox, they have so many faucets, that you should be able to get the minimum amount within a few hours: https://faucetbox.com/en/list |

There are many online wallets like Xapo and Coinbase that do not charge any transaction fees or they pay that fees by themselves. I want to know that how would they profit from paying for their user's transaction fees ?
If no fees is charged then the transaction take a much long time or even might get cancelled !
The fees on the Xapo pre-paid card are quite hefty. Don't know what it's like on the Coinbase card, but I imagine they charge. Plus Coinbase is linked to the Coinbase exchange, and they make money there through trading fees. |

Buying Bitcoins the Bitit way is great for people who don't want to use their credit cards online to buy the crypto out of caution. But the $25 limit without documentation is kinda low if you ask me. What if I need around $60 to buy a game on Steam with Bitcoins for example. Can I just enter 3 different stores to take advantage of this so I don't give out my identity? I guess so.
I think they said their algo tracks users and credit cards - so you can probably do three purchases over several days and they'll let you if they don't then get a dispute filed with the credit card. Honestly, the only way I see around this is Bitcoin ATMs that accept cold hard cash. That way there can be no dispute and no fraud and people can buy as much as they want as long as they pay cash. Sadly no-one seems to have developed a cash BTC ATM. |

Blocks arn't full at the moment because the number of transactions has dropped. See https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-btc.htmlThey were 163,440 in the last 24 hours, compared to 270,000 on March 2nd. You know that article last week from blockchain.info saying transactions were down - turns out they weren't just down for them. Users are voting with their feet and using other alts to move money around. |

They didn't really get into brute force but they simply hacked into ISIS files and found "BITCOIN KEYS" to which allow them to access their bitcoin funds. that just make sense. Because i can't believe it at first if someone actually hacked and took the btcs without the key.
The big question is, if Anonymous has stolen their bitcoin keys, what are they going to do with them? Are we going to see a stash of coins suddenly appearing on the exchanges (either now or perhaps in the future)? |

I am surprised to see that Gemini has not become a big exchange just because of their celebrity status alone.
Maybe it just hasn't become big because their reserves are not as large as some big traders would like but I dont really know.
Lets hope their on a winner with the ETF.
I haven't seen any updates on their ETF for a long time. Maybe it's dead before it was even born. And I'm disappointed their Gemini exchange didn't really do anything for adoption too. They messed up on Gemini by reversing a big trade which one of their whale customers said he had placed "by accident". Of course by reversing the trade to stem his losses, they also removed all the gains by smaller counter parties, who were not impressed and left the exchange. As a result their volume has been lower than at rival exchanges. |

In bitcoin space, someone with about 5000 BTC (based on me seeing a wall of that size during the last pump). On the alt side, about 20BTC, though some of the people playing with ETh are former BTC whales who have goten bored with bitcoin.

It s a nice feature to foster trade on Polo but in reality I dont think it ll have any major effect.
It might encourage people to set up buy and sell orders when they normally wouldn't have. I guess patient traders are happy to do the maker role. But people doing momentum trading will stick to the taker fees for fear of missing a big move. |

The pumps usually happen around a news event (because they need noobs to buy the pumped coins, and those noobs need a reason to justify buying).
Back when Mintpal was around, a coin getting onto that exchange was the "news" used as an excuse for a pump. Doge halvenings used to be used as pumps, till people wised up. The LTC halvening was used for a pump. Coins switching to PoS usually get pumped in the run-up to the switch. I'm willing to bet that as Ether approaches it's switch to PoS, there will be another pump.

If you are in Europe, use Kraken. If you are in the United States, use Coinbase or Circle. In you are in south america and have a paypal account, then use coin2pal: https://coin2pal.info/ That service is run by an Argentinian man and has been going since 2013. |

Nope, I like reading that sub, it's chock full of interesting stuff that you just can't find anywhere else.
Well, you're being fed a lot of bad information if you're reading everything. Ah, but who is the judge of what is good info or bad info? The best way is for all info to be available and the reader to judge for themselves. I particularly like the translations of what is going on in the Chinese bitcoin space/Chinese bitcoin forums. I've not seen those anywhere else, and that sub is valuable just for that. |

Coinbase under ddos attact again Mar 24, 2016
Coinbase.com website and API offline.
Resolved - Coinbase.com website and API are back online. We have successfully mitigated the DDoS attack that started earlier today with minimal downtime.
Mar 24, 12:37 PDT
Monitoring - Coinbase.com website and API are back online. Due to the nature of the outage, our team continues to monitor our services closely.
Mar 24, 11:58 PDT
Identified - Coinbase.com website and API remain offline. Our team has identified the cause as a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) and is working towards a solution.
Mar 24, 11:47 PDT
Investigating - The Coinbase.com website and API are both offline. Our team is investigating.
Mar 24, 11:41 PDT from https://coinbase.statuspage.ioThe most recent attacks are because Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong supports classic. Some dark actors want to punish him for it, by forcing him to spend money defending his website, and upsetting customers. The bitcoin space isn't a nice one at the moment. |

I bought ether from a guy on bitcointalk. I asked for information about ETH . We talked a bit and after a few hours he asked me if I want to buy eth a pretty good price . I bought 700 eth and I depozited on my poloniex account. They froze my account. I opened a support ticket 13 days ago. They asked me about the source of the funds that I have deposited. I told them. After a few days (5), they asked me to upload an image of myself holding my photo ID (selfie) and a paper with the date. After that, they didn't answer me. Sorry for my bad english. https://imgur.com/uuqvZhP https://imgur.com/if2a7EVYour issue was that you send a large amount of money. Because they are American-based, I think they have to report large deposits and prove that they arn't part of any criminal activity, otherwise they get fined. What you should have done was set up an Ether wallet on your computer, and sent only a small amount to the exchange. Be very careful about large amounts on any of the american-based exchanges (coinbase, bittrex, polonium, kraken). |

The dirty secret is that hardly anyone actually gets all of the meteoric rise, and chasing it can lead to losses. Limit yourself to a 10% gain, when you hit it, sell. And sit on your hands during a pump (the time to buy is before the pump), and you'll reduce your losses. It's about controlling losses not hitting the ball out of the park.

Well, I did some research and came to point that it will only have a minimal impact of Bitcoin. When people try to get money out of the country by buying Bitcoin then they need to sell them some time later again. So, there is only a short increase of demand. Many rich in China actually do business in USD and hold bank accounts overseas.
Bitcoin maybe just one of the many ways they transfer their wealth out of China.
I have to agree with you on this, but if this was true and $1 trillion USD did go through Bitcoin, we would have noticed this on the exchanges. I do not doubt that corrupt Chinese officials might have used Bitcoin to attempt to hide their dark deals, but it was nowhere close to these numbers. A major capital flee will also be noticed immediately on the Chinese exchanges, and their government would react accordingly, if that was true.  Remember that a lot of miners are in China - I wouldn't be surprised if they are selling BTC directly to rich Chinese without going through an exchange (face to face transactions using cash). That way they can't be traced the way people who use exchanges are traced. Bitcoin has moved from about $200 last year to about $400 now. That's a big move in price! |

So I'm glad r/btc exists.
This must be a joke gone bad. Nope, I like reading that sub, it's chock full of interesting stuff that you just can't find anywhere else. It's an sad commentary about how other bitcoin spaces no longer chat freely about everything going on in the bitcoin space. |

I've visited r/btc and I think it's an interesting place full of opinions and information that you can't get anywhere else. For example all the translations of Chinese forum threads, which give an insight into what bitcoiners over there exist. So I'm glad r/btc exists.
