It was more a marketing buzz than something else, but I remember as one of the Lightning Network implementations it can work only with Segwit and Bip112, if I am correct (can be totally wrong btw) Not sure if you missed but you can click on "learn more" "FAQ" and other Tab Is Thunder a fully finished product?
No – and therein lies its power and beauty. Others actively working on similar research and development are innovating based on market assumptions. We believe in a ‘launch and learn’ approach that embraces piloting with a functioning product at the nexus of development. This approach has allowed us to mature this technology far beyond anything that exists currently and, going forward, will allow us to make product improvements faster and more in line with user needs. Sometimes you need to prove a concept works |

 There is nothing to be worried about, and no, bitcoin isn't dead, it's still a baby. It's the same scenario every beginning of the year, where we see the price failing. Only the newbies are currently selling while in panic behind the keyboard. HODL |

I feel me safe when I see it's not only about bitcoin but a general trend. In case it is in fact because South Korea "commented" on baning cryptos I am less worried. The same situation happened with China or Japan (i don't remember well) after a couple of days it was like if nothing happened.

You may open a bank account in Montenegro (no AEOI), but I still haven't found an exchange which accepts customers from there.
Transfering funds to a bank account located in Montenegro is not really a problem. The problem is what about if in 6 months or 1 year the country is added to the list, we're screwed. The list is huge; surprisingly the USA is not in.  |

Or perhaps he is too old to like all related to the new technologies like it's often the case with senior people (who know if he knows how to use internet lol). He maybe hasn't read something else than what the media spread as negativity toward Bitcoin

It's what we call hypocrisy, if people knew how the traditional finance is operating, with secret datacenter, dark fiber paid by citizens, well-developed bots, and advanced algorithms....  Can't believe we need to pay to read this paper damn. We need to pay when it's interesting but stupidity is free on TV |

Nice idea. I was ready to suggest to display the tweets (positive or negative) so we get a better idea about the score but it's already in.
I would suggest improving the UI/design, don't take it wrong I know you just started and I am not able to do better btw.
Maybe in future, you can add a page presentation in the menu for each exchange?
Q: are you using something like Microsoft Flow?
Thanks! UI updates are coming, it's currently basically just made for mobile screens. It's a lot faster to create a design that is usable with every screen size and then reiterate for desktop later. Do you mean like a screenshot of the exchange's homepage with "page presentation"? This is the first time I've heard about Flow, looks like it's a Zapier copy? It would probably be easy to hook up the Twitter API with those tools, but I like to run everything with Node.js so I feel like I'm more in control. Yeah, Microsoft Flow is similar to Zapier and IFTTT but it was less advanced at least when I looked into it while it was in beta. I remember to see something to analyze the feelings on Twitter. Useful for example if a brand is monitoring its reputation, that's why I thought you were using this I wanted to say an article for each exchange to introduce it, listing the features etc.... |

Most European countries are annoying with every business related to cryptocurrencies and it will worst soon or later.
So being based in Europe is not so easy to run a crypto business. I know Bitcoin.de based in Germany and BL3P.eu which is based in The Netherlands if I remember.
Maybe you can give a try again with Kraken?
I wouldn't say so. Actualy I think EU is quite good environment for cryptocurrencies. EU is trying to regulate cryptocurrencies, probably through some directive, but I don't think this will be bad. Bitstamp is EU based exchanger, one of the bigest and the best and I don't think they have some particular problems running their business. Bitstamp is located in Luxembourg, we all know the reputation of the country when it's about finance and their laxness lol. Before, the company was located in the UK and during this time Bitcoin wasn't considered as a currency so no regulation and nothing from FCA so Bitstamp decided to regulate itself. When later Bitstamp tried to get a license in the UK it has been refused. (pretty sure it's the reason to move to Luxembourg) |

People with their downward trend nonsense. It's obvious that the market is consolidating, but then within a wider than average range. If you look closely, and see how repetitive the movements are between $13,000'ish and $14,000'ish levels, you will directly spot a great money making opportunity. If you time it right, you can make a decent bit of profit in just a matter of days, and quite often in less than a day. Learn to analyze the market and see how profitable these repetitive movements are for youself. As soon as we break out of this consolidation phase, these repetitive patterns will be no longer there, and thus it's time to just hold again. It's just a matter of logical thinking, really.
Yep, every day I am watching closely and I see daily the same thing (multiple time during the day often). There is always this $1,000-$2,000 gap i.e.  It's doing this since during the ~$18,000 period approximatively. There is a lot of money to make daily if you do it smart. |

C'est la merde, on a un Monsieur Bitcoin (qui est anti-Bitcoin en plus) afin de "mieux en maîtriser le développement" nous la faire à l'envers
Le gouvernement nomme un « Monsieur Bitcoin »Bruno Le Maire a annoncé ce lundi la création d'une mission sur les cryptomonnaies. Elle sera confiée à Jean-Pierre Landau, ancien sous-gouverneur de la Banque de France. Face au phénomène bitcoin , le gouvernement veut désormais passer à l'action. Le ministre de l'Economie Bruno Le Maire a annoncé ce lundi matin lors de voeux à la presse qu'il créait une mission sur les cryptommonnaies. « Nous voulons une économie stable : nous refusons les risques de spéculation et les possibles détournements financiers liés au bitcoin », a rappelé le ministre. « J'ai demandé que la présidence argentine du G20 se saisisse de cette question et je viens de confier à Jean-Pierre Landau, ancien sous-gouverneur de la Banque de France, une mission sur les cryptomonnaies. » La mission sera chargée de « proposer des orientations sur l'évolution de la réglementation » à Bercy avec deux objectifs : « mieux en maîtriser le développement et empêcher leur utilisation à des fins d'évasion fiscale, de blanchiment ou de financement d'activités criminelles ou de terrorisme ». source: https://www.lesechos.fr/finance-marches/marches-financiers/0301151100963-le-gouvernement-nomme-un-monsieur-bitcoin-2144973.php |

Anyone is facing this weird thing or I missed something?
My account balance has been credited with Lumen (XLM) today but I have never used it and never generated an address to deposit either. The ledger is showing "transfer". Beside this XLM balance there is a * symbol.
EDIT: @not.you do you know how come we got credited some XLM?
" Update - Withdrawals are now enabled. We are aware of a rare issue preventing some new withdrawal addresses from being confirmed. Please try another address if this happens. Also, if you held bitcoin on your Kraken account at Bitcoin block #472889, you have been credited with your Stellar lumen (XLM) from the last airdrop. Note: the new trading interface still uses the old STR ticker (https://trade.kraken.com/kraken/strbtc)Jan 14, 23:59 UTC " Thanks @Shamane It's not that I am complaining, I was puzzled this morning as I wasn't aware of this news. I am very happy, I love Kraken again, it's official  |

European countries now exchange bank information. When you open a bank account outside your country the bank system reports your new account to your administration within 48h max. (it's a European agreement)
So basically yes, you can open a bank account outside without problem but your country will be aware of it, so if you are trying to "hide" your money you won't able to, because
1. your government will be aware of the bank account
2. you are still supposed to pay the tax because you are still a fiscal resident of your country, no matter where your bank is located
You would need to live in another country several months

Mt. Gox and Bitcoinmarket are pretty much dead right now because of lots of payments with stolen credit cards. As theymos says in the buybitcoins.com closes thread "Such a high rate of chargebacks does not bode well for future CC->BTC trades, no matter what intermediary companies are used." So credit cards are out. What to do? How about markets using bank transfers? Stealing bank accounts are a lot harder than stealing credit cards. Within Europe bank transfers are usually free of charge although a couple of days slow. I guess it's the same within the USA and other places? So at least there could be a functioning european bitcoin market using bank transfers. Maybe even a global one some place where banking and currency exchange laws are not too bad. Is this viable? Problems? Pitfalls? I think you should by bank transfer. Use credit card risk big risks, the thief could steal the entire amount you have in a credit card Dude, the discussion is +7 years old! |

You can't upload an image as an avatar as "Newbie" You need to be at least "Full member" if I remember correctly. So nothing to do for you. Once you're a full member you will need to go to "Forum Profile Information" in your settings. Explained hereHope this helps |

Is this any good? I'd love to buy one but the USB looks too old-fashioned and doesn't have a case supporting it, possibility of it to break easily is also a thing to be taken into consideration before buying it.
I think it's the best alternative but yeah I admit it looks like a prototype from 2000. There is a tutorial if I remember so you can make your own from scratch. There are other USBs more "swag" for example FIDO U2F Security Key from Yubico https://www.yubico.com/ |
