It's up to @OP to determine a budget he can use to start trading, the rule is don't invest what you can't afford to lose. The platform to use will depend on what you want to trade because not all exchanges have all the altcoins existing. And secondly, on the verifications that you agree to complete if any (ID verification,...)
Once you know what to trade, just check Coinmarketcap and check the "market" tab to see what platforms have the coin listed.

What is the use for the moderators to ban accounts if they are unbanned after? The reply given above is for the users who can't access their accounts anymore (hacked accounts or locked for inactivity)
Banned means banned, there is nothing to do unless it's a mistake from a moderator

It"s good news for me too because I found it a bit boring to have to go through Chrome and install/use an application and another problem is it's we can't get it on Palemoon.
I will let others people testing it for me during the first days  Grin
6584  Other / Meta / Re: My account was banned on: June 07, 2018, 07:29:05 PM
Usually, users are banned for plagiarism, they think they are smart and can take an article from Forbes and co. and post it here as their own content/opinion. Spamming can also be a reason.

Not sure why your account is banned but looking at your post history you have no interest in the forum. 100% of your posts are about bounties/airdrops.
Do you even know what is a blockchain ??
6585  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Exchange Regulations - are we seeing negative effects? on: June 07, 2018, 07:19:39 PM
Most of the regulars traders will have no problem with regulations, they are among the people asking for. The average Joe doesn't care about his privacy and so no problem to give out personal information. The people finding it annoying will simply start to use DEX.
So, I don't think the trading volume will decrease or we will get negative effects
6586  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Accounting Firms celebrating blockchain as if they invented it! on: June 07, 2018, 02:40:45 PM
we all know that the blockchain technology is currently hyped up a lot and all these crappy ICOs that raise millions of dollars out of nowhere without even being legit is a proof of that. so everyone who sees this wants a piece of the hype for themselves including all these firms that get involved with the technology one way or another, not that they are doing any useful but they surely know how to abuse the current ongoing hype and lots of gullible newbies in the market.
I disagree. Without considering the cryptos world the blockchain technology is popular in the fintech and IT industry. The big companies and mainstream media are the ones to hype the blockchain tech. and these companies are spending a lot of money to market the technology and their related products. But the majority of people interested in don't know what is an ICO. It's a totally different audience than the cryptos community
6587  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Accounting Firms celebrating blockchain as if they invented it! on: June 06, 2018, 07:52:00 PM
That's the beauty and curse of an open-source programs: anyone can make revisions of it and later copyright it and call it theirs. With blockchain it's no different.

IBM does similar to promote their blockchain services. For the reasons mentioned above, no copyright, no patent...

Well, these comments give me peace. I'm newer (than most) to the world of open source.

So these attitudes and actions are an expected eventuality of the gift Satoshi gave to us all. I still cringe at the thought of Satoshi becoming the answer of a trivia question 10 years from now on "who created the blockchain?"

In a near future, the companies will surely give it another name like HSBC Technology, HSCBCchain etc. You will see the term blockchain used in small size like in the ingredients list on the food package
6588  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Pros of Centralized exchange over Dex. Need help in gathering facts on: June 06, 2018, 06:29:35 PM
The trust is easier to get with a centralized exchange. Users can feel safer to use such platform like their bank website. Decentralized exchanges are still considered like "the darknet" (not a good comparison but you get the idea) People are not yet so attracted to use the decentralized ex.
From a marketing opinion, it is also a lot easier to market
6589  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: decentralized exchanges are safe? on: June 06, 2018, 05:49:53 PM
Decentralized exchanges are not yet popular because some people can find difficult to use and secondly some of them have a  low volume.
I would say they are safe sure but if it's not popular it's a problem. I think with too many regulations, KYC and so on people will start to realize why DEX can be useful as well privacy coins such as Zencash both will be a winning combo for people seeking to get a real privacy
6590  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Accounting Firms celebrating blockchain as if they invented it! on: June 06, 2018, 05:22:04 PM
IBM does similar to promote their blockchain services. For the reasons mentioned above, no copyright, no patent... You can freely clone and modify an open source project and claim to created THE new tech (when it's fact the only new tech is Your tech not the base you used)
It can also be compared with internet and Arpanet
6591  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitpanda Mandatory Verification Requirement -- What the F***? on: June 06, 2018, 04:29:22 PM
It's a typical thing with crypto exchanges or alike services. The life cycle starts with:

1) the site is great
2) the support is slow
3) KYC 

It's another reason to not store your coins in an exchange platform because you never know what can happen with the platform. Adding the possibles news regulations coming, hack, etc make it less reliable to use as the main wallet.

@mobnepal
Look like your only hope is to wait to see your country listed or to find someone on the listed countries :/

6592  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: The "Best" of these exchanges on: June 06, 2018, 03:46:46 PM
Cryptopia has no KYC (as long you don't transfer out +$5000 per day) I am using it for maybe 2 years and never got any problem.
A lot of people complaining are people who don't understand the real problem, I mean sometimes the problem comes from the coin itself and not from Cryptopia. Of course, Cryptopia team can't resolve such problem
6593  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ARGENTINA TO USE BITCOIN FOR INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER on: June 06, 2018, 03:22:51 PM
A SEPA transfer takes less than 24 hours too. It's just that some banks credit your account after 24 hours because of whatever reason they have. But some banks credit your account within 12 hours or less.

And I agree with @stompix if Argentina is the only country then how an international transfer can be done
As well, using Bitcoin directly and yourself will cost you less

At least the team started to take actions very fast. And didn't hide behind their keyboards like some teams do.
6595  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The importance of Blockchain in the future of the technology on: June 05, 2018, 07:00:13 PM
The importance of Block Chain in the future of technology is immense. Because this technology has improved people's life. People can earn it using it and are moving forward economically. People are buying everything with the help of this and can transfer money to anywhere.

What're you talking about? How the blockchain technology improved people"s life? Most of the blockchain projects are still under R&D. The ones alive belong to big conpanies like Walmart, IBM, etc

People can earn it using it
How I can earn blockchain? Please teach me, I want one at home to be swag

The future of the blockchain technology is outside the crypto world and there are a lot of better to do with it than transfer money

6596  Other / Meta / Re: I paid copper a week ago and have no confirmation on: June 05, 2018, 06:33:54 PM
The upgrade is done automatically.
I think your problem is simply you're missing to add the image tag to your post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3208091.msg33322463#msg33322463)

The correct way is to post like this
Code:
[img]insert image link here[/img]

for example, in your post, the image shall be posted like this
Code:
[img]https://i.imgur.com/EuxJfO7.png[/img]

Additionally, you can wear the "Copper Member"  title if you want, it should be in your account settings.
Hope that help
6597  Economy / Economics / Re: A cryptocurrency with volatility can't be used as money on: June 04, 2018, 06:24:31 PM
@OP

Gold is volatile, Silver and co are too. The USD/EUR pair is volatile but it's used daily. Ok you can say it's not the same volatility volume but still.
And what about if people stop to use the dollar or a bank run movement?

Bitcoin is the first implementation of a concept called "cryptocurrency"

Bitcoin isn't the first crypto currency, there are several before. You have to take a look decades ago. The base of Bitcoin starts before Satoshi. The Cypherpunks and crypto-anarchists were the first to advocate privacy. Motivating people to write encryption programs to protect themselves in a Manifesto http://nakamotoinstitute.org/cypherpunk-manifesto/


Before Bitcoin we had several digital currencies, Nick Szabo is one of the first when he created Bit Gold.

Satoshi proposed Bitcoin in 2008 at the same time of the financial crisis in 2008 with the message "Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks" https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/chancellor-alistair-darling-on-brink-of-second-bailout-for-banks-n9l382mn62h

Most people interested in the project were cryptographers, Cypherpunks, and crypto-anarchists since privacy is their Moto.

@dmwardjr

It's one of the strong points Zencash has: the community side. The team really listen to and consider what the Zen community thinks and what it wants. It's not really "I decide alone"
6600  Other / Meta / Re: It is true that old btctalk accounts are auto locked? on: June 03, 2018, 08:34:35 PM
Only the inactive accounts (before 2015 I think). To recover their account they need to follow the requirement. To know it, they just need to read the sticky thread on this board.
How long it takes is up to the Admins (and/or the mods if they can unlock it)
