I will watch this special Live stream of course. Just to say Happy Birthday ZenCash and more to come in future. Thanks to the whole team for the awesome job. I guess some are getting fun at the Coindesk Consensus

I don't remember which one between Yobit or Poloniex but I thought they didn't charge any fees since the transactions were sent in batch. I use sometimes Paymium for this reasons as I don't mind if the transaction is sent in 1 hour. I don't understand why not more exchanges use this method especially if they have large volumes daily

It's a bitcoin wallet service offering solutions for companies, Bitgo has an insurance policy to protect their clients (I say it but don't know what happened when Bitfinex was hacked). It's like a white label (I don't think an individual can use their services). For example if you want to create a web-based wallet you can use their services. I know Unocoin, Bitstamp are using Bitgo.

I'm pretty sure that when you sell a gold bar to a registered bullion dealer in the UK as well as asking to see your passport they are also compelled to inform HMRC. At least we haven't got that bad yet.
It's difficult to see a way other than f2f cash deals how to avoid ever creeping regulation.
Yup. https://www.sharpspixley.com/buy-gold-using-bitcoin/That's the best place to get metals with BTC in the UK. If you're going above £5000 then you have to hand your ID over. The £5k limit only applies to buying. If you want to sell then you need it for all transactions. https://www.sharpspixley.com/sell-your-gold/Payment can be made by Bank Transfer, or in cash if selling in person. We require two forms of identification; one photo ID and one proof of address (dated in the last 3 months) for all transactions.
Be happy with the £5000 because here no matter, if it is for buying or selling 10€ your ID card, is required (for taxes purpose mainly). If I didn't have the sea to cross, I would be happy to come in your country to avoid the ridiculous limit in mine. Belgium and Germany are less strict but can be waste of time

Similar blockchain application(s) already exists from a company owned by Atos (Worldline?) What is surprising me in the country itself. Isn't Bahrain a monarchy with almost no human rights? Do they hope to jump from 1970 to 2018 like 1.2.3?
The money that can be saved is often the first argument used to adopt the blockchain technology, the security comes after

Exactly, and this country is not the only one. People misunderstand a lot of information or just read the title and come here to post it as fast as fast as possible without to understand the content... And such circulars are circulating inside banks offices since years in different countries.

It's a quick job, if you ask a friend or if you find someone kind enough here he could do it for free (it doesn't hurt to give some free time to help out someone) This say, I wouldn't trust anybody to give access to the cpanel or any file in. I would prefer read the doc and learn it by myself

The bad things on internet is it can be hack so if you're not really careful where do you put your PK, you will got hacked without being expect. Remember , even advance Japanese exchange can be hack although it's already provide extremely high security code.
Bitcoin just change how people do digital transaction !
Pretty sure in the future, we will see something like crypto insurances. Like with your car or house. If you are a victim of a damage the insurances will be able to refund you or something like this. Thinking about it, in my country when you have something in your house that worth more than ~$3000 you need an option for your house insurance so you pay few extra bucks. Wonder if someone steals my Bitcoin they will pay me back

The trezor purse has a slight advantage over the Nano S. I read that there is a function of partial coins in case you are tortured. It seems to be stupid, but in our country there were many similar cases and people who were tortured would not hurt to use this function.
That function does exist in the ledger nano s too. You can find it if you search for the Advanced Passphrase Option on ledgerwallet.com. With this option enabled the first pin will open a (main-)wallet which can be used for small amounts (which also will be given when threatened). With the second pin (and an additional passphrase, also called '25th word') you will be able to access your hidden wallet. Hey Is it something that has been added recently"Plausible deniability" ? I have never heard of this second code before. It' a smart feature. You can even say to your wife: look here the proof I have nothing anymore

The thing with strategists is they use too much statistics and mathematics (only big data are valuable for predictions (in my personal opinion)) Sometimes they don't consider an outside point (something that is not a stats, a math formula, or an algo) A price prediction is not only watching a graph on your screen and make some bets like in the betting horse. Still I hope this one is correct in his predictions :p

If you're looking for an altcoin undervalued to make a profit in the medium/long term you can take a look at Zencash. It's a good opportunity for few reasons 1) Privacy coins will become more and more popular this year and so their price increasing 2) Zencash is not just about making a cryptocurrency and has some serious partnerships like with IOHK
Don't consider it as an investment advice, make your own due diligence and make your own opinion. I am just telling you where I am putting my eggs and I am usually anti altcoins, to make me like an altcoin you really need something special. I chose carefully a project

There is nothing to worry. If it's too much for you then it may be better for you to leave the crypto market if you can't handle such moves. Most of us have seen worst than this before. $1000 is nothing for most people here

BitPanda also offered a possibility for corporate account (they call it Platinum Membership) but it works just the same as individual accounts with only extra privileges of increased daily withdrawals to $25,000. Their support's pretty good at discussing individual needs so maybe just reach out. They're quite a solid and small exchange (relatively small anyway) and have never declined in support quality, which is why I'm recommending.
I have never heard of this exchange before,but from seeing the way you're recommending it,I'll be sure to check it out. I have seen people recommending binance, kraken, bittrex(LOL), poloniex(LOL again) but never heard about BitPanda. What surprises me is that you say the support quality is amazing. Now that's something no other exchange has. Wonder why it is not a major exchange yet . Because BitPanda is not really a pure exchange as we know it but rather an exchanger. It's limited to 4-5 cryptos and 4-5 payments methods. The fact that the site is small compared to others, you have usually less problem and faster support. As for choosing an exchange for a corporate account, I would be very careful while choosing one

There are more and more coins added to the Nano Ledger every month. The latest coin is ZEN. Now they have upgraded their soft so that they can used shared libraries for similar coins which makes it possible to keep more wallets on the Ledger without having to install/remove them each time. Still, I think they should have put more memory in the Ledger for the very start.
Yeah, I was happy to see they added zencash, there is just another coin I am waiting to see now... Now they have upgraded their soft so that they can used shared libraries for similar coins which makes it possible to keep more wallets on the Ledger without having to install/remove them each time. Still, I think they should have put more memory in the Ledger for the very start.
The capped memory is for security reasons (ledger claims). But this indeed makes sense. With 320 Kb flash and 10 Kb RAM there is not much room for malware. Especially if you already have installed a few applications the remaining space shrinks to 100-200 Kb. I'd rather have only 3-5 apps installed (with the ability to uninstall/install them anytime; like it is now) than having space for all applications which does impose another risk. Clever I would say, I have never think about it

Yes it's a good initiative, hoping people won't get the idea to re-create topics like - is bitcoin the future - why do you like with bitcoin - should I tell my parents about BTC - should I give my private keys to my GF? - --

Wikipedia is very selective when it's about adding a forum discussion and consider it as a "reliable" source, I don't remember to find any or it was long ago.. Sometimes you can have a better luck to add a link source on wiki page in another language as the people moderating are less strict or lenient. Bitcointalk is banned for a long time now you can thank to 1) the SEO spammers 2) the crapycoins You can have a better luck to win some bucks in the lottery than getting the domain white listed. And if a mod lets you add a link from archive.org or archive.is then he is dumb funny how wikipedia considers bitcointalk a spamming site while it doesn't hesitate to inundate you with donation requests:never trusted it as a source of information,anyone can edit it and it has been politically biased on so many cases I cannot count what is your point? wikipedia is free and needs huge resources to keep the site alive, such projects often ask for donations. And to tell you people usually prefer to donate some money instead to pay a service

Since Ethereum was initially crowdfunded and Ripple is centrally issued I could imagine the SEC having a weak case in favour of these coins being securities. If they deem these coins securities, it may affect Iota and other centrally issued / crowdfunded currencies as well. Ethereum Classic would be an interesting edge case, since they never received any form of crowdfunding despite being an Ethereum hard fork (well, technically it was Ethereum that forked, but that's a different matter). That being said, I personally doubt that Ethereum and Ripple satisfy the preconditions required for being classified as securities.
Either way I think Bitcoin will be largely unaffected. Should these kind of centrally issued / crowdfunded coins be classfied as securities we may see some capital flowing from alts towards Bitcoins though.
Yes I think the same too, bitcoin and Etheruim maybe both a cryptocurrency but Bitcoin has a higher market and is more popular. So if the sec. will in favor Eth this is another success for crypto but it would not a affect bitcoin I believe. The market size has no value for the SEC. It doesn't help it to judge anything. And I know when the SEC starts to audit something it usually doesn't end well. I remember reading a long audition from the SEC and Scoville Charles and believe me, they are a real snake and far to be uninformed

It's the typical scenario when the banking partner kicks you out and don't want to make any more business with you. Most don't anticipate this scenario and then companies have to find new partners able to accept (what they call) the risks to deal with cryptos
This would probably the scenario which if banking sector would make already some issues or such changes they might not able to say directly but its quite understandable that they dont need you anymore.Normally crypto related sites would definitely find another partner into their service thats why they do sent out this email and telling such transition might really give some changes.The good thing here is that they do make some announcement rather than nothing at all. It's for their own interest to make this kind of announcement otherwise people could start to post everywhere on the web that the site is now scamming. This can escalate quickly, especially with crypto businesses and then it's a pain then to clean up the reputation of the company ^^ I have seen similar despite the company is huge

The French section is bad as to get Ripple talks in BTC news, referral links spams, scams attempts, and so on. Not long ago I said soon a lady will open a topic about her mentruation in the dev section and another about the blood volume in the speculation section. I think members have stopped using the report button because they see it as useless. For example, I remember 2 users, who tired of the mess, spend few hours to report everything where an action was needed. They did it for nothing at the end. I did it too to test with a section and the result was the same
Within a year we had 5-6 topics opened by users (including me) asking the opinion for a new moderator or another one. It's something every member agree with. It's not a question anymore for us. We all agree with the idea to get a new moderator. We even agreed together with how to change the local forum to make everyone happy. the general opinion is to get something like the English subforums.
I admit appointing a member who is trustworthy may be not easy, but with a "Legendary" member who is using the forum actively for years, you have less risk. And as for "abusing power", I don't see how it can be done (I may be naive about this) If you create a friendly environment you don't get much trouble to moderate a community. Everyone enjoy and at the end, you don't have much to do
