Please read through our blog for some great news! This is long overdue. I really hope all will be resolved because Kraken was really frustrating for a long time. Kraken needs to be more proactive in future to avoid degraded and unreliable service. It will be nice if we get a free fees trading day or something similar :p |

About 2 weeks ago, I had some problems with my internet service provider. I decided to end my contract with them and I signed up with a new service provider. I used their online registration and I also decided to pay by debit order. <because they do not accept Bitcoin yet> ^smile^ This is how this played out. The services provider required me to send them verification from the tx id from my bank account to verify that the payment went through my bank account. <it took 3 days for this tx to be displayed on my bank statement> I supplied the information and then they acknowledged that they received the entry, but that the clearance to their Bank account would take 3 to 7 days. < It took 4 days > So to sum up what I am saying. To enable a debit order payment, it took 7 days to process. People are complaining about Bitcoin tx delays, but the Banks are far worst. If this service had a Bitcoin payment option, I would have had internet access 6 days earlier. For the people who would say, USE your credit card, I would say NO f@#%$ way! These centralized services cannot be trusted to secure my credit card details. < I have been a victim of credit card fraud before> Banks suck! <period> Banks can display instantly the transactions, they don't do it because there isn't a real need. Most of the neo-banks display the transactions instantly now, even when you use your card. The same minute you see it on your account |

The first reason to see companies accepting bitcoin is only if there is a demand, otherwise, they have no use. Like, for example, is an e-commerce notice there are a lot of people looking to use PayPal the site will look closely to add it because it can increase their sales.
Now if you look at bitcoin the demand is not so big and most bitcoiners don't really want to pay $18 for the network fees. (The majority of people is just holding their bitcoins). This is where comes the altcoins which have more chances to be used

I’m a web developer/designer and wondered if it’s worth getting paid in bitcoin? I’m from the UK and not sure how it would work in terms of the end of year tax return.
This the problem with freelancers paid with Bitcoin. The only advantage is if you bet to see the price increasing so you get more for the same job. The problem comes when it's time to report the income on the taxes properly. With the lack of considerations for freelancers and their status it is less constraining to use the traditional methods |

It's fake. There is no way to get all private keys. You have more chances to win the lottery than getting a single key. The website is surely trying to scam people. You're fine as long you don't expose your key in public (ie: posting on forums, etc)

There are some things that he forgot to consider (lack of knowledge?) but we do it as well. While it may be true that in near future banks become obsolete, they can adapt to the evolution and start to accepting to use bitcoin (why not?) Banks have been good enough to adopt technologies and started to offer debits cards, and before that, cheques bank.
As well, they can adapt the blockchain technology to the traditional system as we know it, it can help the banks to reduce some costs. And this is what we have more chances to see. Perhaps each banks having their own crypto

Dude, don't store anything in Kraken other than when you try need to sell, or find an alternative. We have enough horror stories with exchanges as example to show how we can lose everything (MTGox-BTC-e)
Don't trust anyone else than yourself

Yep, Coinbase has fixed fees to pay the miners for the transaction, so you have no choice to avoid this. This a cost that you have to consider with your profits while trading. You can hold your bitcoins on the exchange and move them when you accumulated a large ammount, or you convert to some altcoins that have cheap transfer fees such as doge, ripple, and others. It's up to you with the goal you have.

wow, sounds good,
i think this news will affect other company to pay the employee with bitcoin and make bitcoin price higher
I don't think it is something that will encourage companies to do the same. The problem is that bitcoin is now considered as an investment more than a currency. It's like to compare with a company that decides to pay the workers with gold. I think this case with Japan will stay one of the few isolated case |

The organization can hold the bitcoins or convert to fiat automatically (or not) However, as a charity project I don't think they can afford to lose money (in case of a market crash or whatever) It's not easy to fund a charity so I am not sure if it's a good idea to "gamble with money".
They can use Bitpay to receive the donations it will get converted to fiat automatically, it may be the best solution for accounting.

I have no idea what this guy is talking about. Yes the community donated to Andreas, then what? Can't we be thankful in 2017? What is the problem? This guy is doing an awesome job isn't? So what about Cryptopia, they can't donate funds since when?  |

Yes a hardware wallet worth to buy, especially if you're storing a good amount. You can choose the fees you agree to pay (not like coinbase)
I think yeah, hardware wallets are more secure than software wallets.
You don't need to have the wallet connected, only when you want to use it. The value stays the same, I mean if you store 1 bitcoin, you have 1 bitcoin even if the wallet is offline. the value comes when you sell it on a exchange or other.
for example if you bought 1 bitcoin for $15000 and the price falls to $7500 you won't have 0.5 BTC, you still own 1 bitcoin

Bittrex started to be huge when Ploniex had a problem, the activity increased a lot. It was a good exchange until they decided to change their rules then asking verifications, lack of support and so on. i don't trust it anymore, i don't want to use a site and have no idea what they could do next.
They will surely be here on 2018 but with all complaints about them i have no idea why someone would want to join it.

Coinbase uses a fixed fee, no matter how much you send. It's like this for most, if not all web-wallets and exchanges. This isn't how Bitcoin is supposed to work, we are able to set up our own fees depending on how fast we want it and other things as well. But to be able to choose the fees you want you need to use a bitcoin client such as Electrum, an app, etc. i mean something else than a 3rd party.

Well actually the good coins very much, good growth shows the coin VTC have recently skyrocketed, and STR shows good results, I think they still will show good growth in the future!

GDAX, Bitfinex, Bitstamp, Cryptopay, Cex, are a few example but it depends on what payment method are you planning to use. Coinbase purchases are by credit cards, right? I think Bitstamp can be used to buy using a card.
Thanks, i can use credit card and bank account for purchases, however are there any crypto markets that are specifically for Australian residents? These exchanges mainly are for European and US residents. They have a lot of customers outside of Europe and the USA so you shouldn't have a problem. Otherwise, you may take a look at https://bitcoin.com.au it is the only one I know based in Australia. I have never used it, so make your due diligence before using it, I don't want to be blamed for redirecting you to a shady website. =) |

Its not just now. Its since months unusable. Surprising they still have high trading volume.
Doesn't Kraken have APIs? Because it may be the reason since I have no idea how people are placing orders when it takes 4 hours and countless F5 to do something. I agree it's not something new on Kraken and the lack of communication from them is not helping either. From what I understood their engine is outdated. Last week while searching, I found a post from them on Reddit posting a link to what looked like a beta version supposed to be released the first week of this month (something like beta.kraken.com). |

they can not sell the bitcoins until the crime has been punished, ( i think) I mean the criminals judged and in jail. Up to this they don't really own the bitcoins but seize until the story is judged in court. It's what they usually do for example with drug dealers they seize the cars, houses, business and at the end only they sell for their profits or to compensate the victims if there is any.
Isn't there a U.S. agency that seized some bitcoins from a website on the darkweb (skrillroad or something like that) I don't remember about a decline in the price when this news was out
