An update about this[1]. It looks like Binance is reversing its decision to delist privacy coins. It's unclear from the article whether all the projects are going to remain, or only a few of them but a few projects already stated that they're not getting delisted.

I wouldn't consider anything on this list valid collateral. I don't think anyone cares about KYC, since people can buy these, probably for less than 900$. It's about the ability to sell the collateral if necessary.

So if lend you 900$ and you decide to not repay me, can I resell the Coinbase account for 900$? obviously not.

Verified accounts are probably riskier than anything else because if the account is verified using your real identity, you can always claim it back.

AFAIK, most exchanges pretty much use the same third party to provide on and off-ramp services. KuCoin, Bitget, Binance, ByBit, etc. all seem to use Simplex or Banxa so there's probably not that much difference between them.

How about using Interac-e or Wire transfers? Not an option?

I'm not saying they're scammers. I haven't tried them myself so I could definitely be wrong, but it's just the way that the user was promoting them.

But the way you described this whole process sounds like the service you want to deposit funds to, is just using Capital wallet as a payment processor so I don't think you would have any issues in that case (if you trust this broker you're referring to)

I'm not sure if this is just your way to promote Capitalwallet like this user did a few months back[1] or if you really want to know, but assuming the latter, do you trust whoever you're sending the funds to? What do you mean by they allow capital wallet for payments? Do you need to make an account there and deposit funds? or you're paying for a service that uses Capitalwallet as a payment processor?

Now regarding your second question. If you're from Turkey, you can just make an account on OKX, and buy using your card. Or if you want to use wire transfers, you can try their P2P platform.

For those who are using Wirexapp: the company issued a statement[1] about possible outages in the EEA because the Lithuanian central bank revoked the license of UAB PayrNet (Wirex card provider).

Since this is related to your crypto deposit, it's probably because the funds are connected (and I could be wrong) to a mixer, a gambling site, etc. It doesn't necessarily have to be a direct connection either so maybe you received funds from someone who dealt with the services I mentioned.

I don't use Coinbase but what are the errors you're getting when trying to withdraw to an external address? I would imagine they at least sent you an email explaining why your account got blocked and the steps to follow to unlock it.
Usually, when an exchange does that, it's because they detected suspicious activity with your transactions or account.  Have you tried calling them?

I would imagine it's because they also use that on their site.


I know that Blockchair supports both testnet and segwit addresses but the limits may not be the best. Have you looked into these alternatives?[1]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that Electrum support generating Taproot addresses, there's also no mention of it in the Changelog with the exception of this:

Take a look at these two lists[1][2].

For the second one, although most services listed there don't require KYC to trade, they might ask you to verify your identity if they ever detect a "suspicious activity".

According to these answers[1] and assuming nothing has changed since then, it's just something they use internally, so you probably shouldn't be using that in your applications.

Since this is not bitcoin related, please move this to "Service discussion (altcoins)" board.

As for the problem you're facing, then could you tell us which wallet you're using? Is it an exchange? If so, then you should contact their support because they are the only ones who can help you in this situation.

I checked them, and there are no mentions about it but since only Win10 is being tested, it's very possible that there are some unreported compatibility issues with Win8.1 (assuming OP is using a recent version).

Which version are you using? If it's older than 4.2.1, you can Right-click the .exe -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 7. Although I'm not sure why it's not working for 8.1:


If this doesn't help, you can either downgrade your Electrum or, If you just want to generate the seed, you can also use a USB stick and run a LiveCD Linux.

It looks like this has something to do with the fact that more companies (big names) are applying for Bitcoin ETFs (Invesco, and Wisdom Tree)[1]. And there is also the EDX market news (new exchange backed by wall street) which we've seen yesterday[2]

I have a D'Cent hardware wallet discount code (50$) which I just bought from Coingecko.

For more info about the code, or if you're interested in getting yourself (limited supply) you can check this link: https://www.coingecko.com/account/rewards/dcent-biometric-wallet?locale=en

I only have one code, and I'm willing to give it to the first reputable member to post here. Preferably to someone who's interested in reviewing the wallet.

I'm surprised to see that tweet. I was really expecting them to cancel their plans to implement LN after the fees lowered, especially when they're always trying to push their own version of BTC (WBTC).

It would be interesting to see if they're going to charge any extra fees for this.


I agree, but if I had to guess, I would say that most LN users are probably using custodial services like Exodus or Wallet of Satoshi instead of Electrum, Zap, etc.

I would also imagine that once this is implemented, Binance Academy will start writing articles to help educate its users.

I can't vouch for Nexo, but I know they have been around for many years.

But if this is what you're referring to: https://nexo.how/kb/how-do-i-withdraw-eurx-gbpx-and-usdx-from-my-nexo-account/

Then if you ever decide to try them, I advise you to be careful. From my understanding (and I could be wrong) USDx, EURx, etc. are stablecoins that I personally never heard of (and I doubt anyone else here did either) so it might be a good idea to just trade your coins, and withdraw. It's already not advisable to keep your funds in exchange, so doing so using an unknown stablecoin does not really help.

What do you mean exactly by that? It should show you the bitcoin value. So whether 1 BTC is 25k or 45k... It should show you 1 BTC either way and as far as I can remember, there's no display for USD (or any other fiat) currently.

Now, if you think the final balance in BTC does not reflect your transactions, then that's another problem. You can start by trying to check your addresses in a block explorer and see if the balances match or not.
