I am hoping it's just a temporary bug. While trying to withdraw some coins the system tells me my current tier level is insufficient for this functionality and I need to verify my account to increase my tier level.

I am a tier 2 user since the day 1 and I have always been able to withdraw coins or fiat. I checked the "Get verified page" and see no change in the multiple tier levels ( Tier 2 daily limit: Withdraw (fiat) $2,000 -- Withdraw (crypto)$5,000.00)

I am a lot below the $5,000 limit :/
7163  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Question regarding addresses starting with 1-bc1-3 on: January 23, 2018, 07:24:49 PM
Anyone can tell me if....

- An address starting with 1 is not segwit
- A bech32 address (bc1) is segwit

Are we ok? but...

- An address starting with 3 may be segwit

Don't we have yet a method to see if the address starting with 3 is a segwit or not? Or only once spend we are able to see if the P2SH is segwit or multisig

Thanks  Undecided

So you think a member is an idiot as such he won't go to check the feedbacks, or he can see the red tag for spammers but not for scammers?
The feedback system is here to post a feedback to say what do you think about a member, or if you completed a deal etc.

There are some good campaigns not using this SMAS list as well

The "promotion of mentally retreated DT2 member pharmist and acyname" isn't going to still give a chance to scammers to continue to scam...

To be honest, I understand that all of you are upset, but all the recent topics about people crying like a 3 years old kid start to be really boring

7165  Other / Serious discussion / Re: 2-Factor Authentication on: January 22, 2018, 09:52:17 PM
i have been using Google authenticator since then and im not having any issue with it,but if u worry u can always enaable email verification ror additional security.
And make sure u disable your 2fa authentication once you think of selling ur mobiles.It happens to me i forgot to disable 2fa and sell my mobile.Glad i was able to fix it by sending ticket to support.
The main topic we've been talking is about the privacy, enable email verification isn't going to help it

There is no harm with 2-factor authentication. It is just used for our security purpose. In fact, those accounts integrate with 2FA they are trustworthy and more secure. If you are doing some transaction on the trading or exchange platform then 2FA is essential for our security purpose.

In my opinion, giving our privacy shouldn't be the price of our security but taking it back is.

7166  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Why are people hiring crypto writers nowadays? on: January 22, 2018, 09:06:09 PM
$15 for an article is so cheap man. I know some content writers/ghostwriters asking from $75 to $150 for a single article and they are overloaded with orders.
Paying $15 here they are saving a lot of money, especially when some knowledges about the topic are needed to be able to write a decent article.

7168  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / 'I know you cheated on your wife.' Growing blackmail scam demands payment in BTC on: January 22, 2018, 07:01:32 PM
I wouldn't enjoy if it was my wife who found such letter. Imagine the mess.
This is the letter a guy received in the mailbox, after he notified the police, he decided to publish an article on his blog. With a surprise, he figured that he wasn't alone to receive such letter asking for Bitcoin.

The scammer is sending multiple letters across the country with the hope someone really cheated on his wife and accept to pay the $2,000 worth of bitcoin, now asking $8,000
Now The FBI and other authorities are looking after this scammer

Why did you delete all your posts? Have you been banned for copy pasting? In this case, you can forget your account
7170  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is Coinbase insolvent? on: January 22, 2018, 05:30:52 PM
It makes me remember someone on Twitter saying "Who is crazy to trust Coinbase while they've never been able to prove the company's solvency"

In your case, could it be because Coinbase has sent the wire (and so marked as complete) but with the bank deadline it will be credited only in 2 or 3 days or more?

Their support is famous to be horrible by the way, and deserve an Academy Award for this.
7171  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Blockchain technology in Defence Industry on: January 22, 2018, 04:27:37 PM
 Lockheed Martin started to adopt the blockchain technology. (It is the world's largest defence contractor). Another company is Guardtime, providing blockchain solutions to Estonia. The interest from defence companies is increasing but I think it's more for a large-scale military logistics/supply chain management

Edit: There are these good articles to read if you want

Stay away from Reddit during these times, because the "Know it All" financial experts and trolls are crawling out of their caves to scream "This is the end of Bitcoin" and "I told you so". You never hear from them when the price is at record high prices, but the moment when there are a correction, they flood these forums with negativity and "I told you so" comments.

I think we should rub it under their noses when the price hit record high prices to the end of this year. ^smile^

"I told you so" idiots making a ass of themselves in public. ^hmmmmm^

LOL +1.
They are the first to come in public when they feel they need to critic Bitcoin but during all the ATH you don't see them, they don't log in here for several days or weeks. You won't see any of them creating a topic to say "ok, I was wrong..." What is funnier is that the majority still own/use Bitcoin. How hypocrite is it(¬‿¬)
7173  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] ChipMixer - mixing reinvented on: January 22, 2018, 01:41:17 PM
The .co website is something not related with a Bitcoin mixer Huh

@ChipMixer
What about changing the title tag of the website

"Official ChipMixer - Bitcoin tumbler" instead the current one "ChipMixer - Bitcoin tumbler"
As well the title of the topic here

The ads are showing only with "Chipmixer" keyword and not for " Bitcoin tumbler" or "Bitcoin mixer"
Just a suggestion...
7174  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Regulation Can Also Be Protection on: January 22, 2018, 01:08:29 PM
Regulations are one of the steps for centralization. We already know the story, it starts with regulations and later after some decades it leads to
"I control your money".

In @CryptoBry's example with an exchange closing its business, I don't see how it can really protect people. What about if exchanges didn't exist? What about if Bitcoin is the only currency worldwide (so we don't need exchanges anymore)?

Now if you say regulations are good for criminal activities etc. Oh really? That's why the current system is so efficient to do this, so why do they create more and more regulations?

Another argument can be, it protects both parties (let's say, buyer and seller) for their transaction. To not be scammed or whatever you can imagine. It's up to people to educate themselves about the risks when doing a transaction.
IRL if you got scammed and used banknotes to pay, who is going to help you? Nobody, your money is gone.

One of the goals with cryptos is to do be able to do a transaction without using a third party
7175  Other / Meta / Re: Is it I desreves a negative trust? on: January 21, 2018, 08:37:07 PM
A warning could be enough...basically... But people are abusing the forum to a very high level, to say the least. It's like with children when you told them to behave correctly but they don't want to listen to you (bad kitties), and so you need to be severe.

Now taking your case as an example, if you have a business that you promote here and figure that your competitors are buying fake posts to bump their topic, how fair do you think it is for you?

When you are a decent member of any forum and have a correct attitude and courtesy you don't even need to read the forum rules usually.
You can think to give you a negative feedback is rude but blame all other members who are doing the mess

7177  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Money Laundering is Less Than One Percent of All Bitcoin Transactions on: January 21, 2018, 07:42:19 PM
From another article that I have read last week (not cointelegraph) it was talking about a research (from an institute if I remember) the study showed that only from 3% to 5% of the transaction are used for illegal activities...
Not so different from the OP but it still shows how the politics are trying to wash the brain of people with the generic excuse of terrorism, money laundering

@Omegascreen, you take BTC-e as an example but how many exchanges have suffered the same situation? How many Ponzi, banks, and so on are using the dollars to commit frauds?
7178  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Visa locks down prepaid cryptocurrency cards, Need Solution on: January 21, 2018, 04:42:32 PM
Thanks, It's useless so. I wonder why people are using Skrill as a wallet when they are charged 1% for each deposit and on the top of that can only use to send bitcoin to other Skrill users or merchants.

I will keep waiting when Bitwala gets the banking license so, It will be a lot easier. The suggestion from @warningsigns is interesting but no estimated time about the cards
7179  Economy / Economics / [INFOGRAPHIC] All You Need to Know About Blockchain and ICO stats for 2017 on: January 21, 2018, 04:09:01 PM
Just found this infographic that I find interesting so sharing it here... I wanted to compare with 2016 and I tried to find some data for this year but haven't found any

The average number of monthly ICO went from 8 to....200, crazy isn't?
69% of banks are currently experimenting with blockchain technology
33% of bankers expect for 2018 commercial blockchain adoption

The year 2017 saw the notions of blockchain, cryptocurrencies, bitcoin and the like dominate the global media. A large part of the digitalized world, has felt its breath taken away by the tumultuous vibes of cryptocurrencies.

While many enthusiasts have started mining them on their own 'farms', governments are undecided about their stance on the phenomenon

7180  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reasons why Lightning Network will fail on: January 21, 2018, 12:17:49 PM
To be honest, Lightning Network is too long and difficult to understand to become mainstream, it adds difficulty to understand cryptocurrencies. The LN is so complex (Lightning Network - A Puzzle With Missing Pieces) so I would say I agree with some posts here (and no, I am not paid by Roger Ver)
It may be easy to understand for you but not for everyone (including me)
