I believe that It has something to do with the alts at the moment. The thing is that exchange have ALT/BTC tickers so in order for them to get the alt they are looking for, they should buy bitcoin first and that creates a a high demand and result in a price increase.

The fees you are asking for are definitely impossible to get If we take in consideration the payment method you are willing to use. It's like 20% at least when using vouchers like PSC, Ukash, CashU etc.

Je te conseil d'utiliser Electrum (tu controle tes clé privée) si tu as pas un grand montant sinon Il faut acheté une Hardware wallet ou utilisez portefeuille papier. Le portefeuille papier par contre est seulement pour le long terme, si tu compte utilisé bitcoin tout les jours, Il vaut mieu pas l'utiliser mais prendre un portefeuille hardware (Ledger Nano S = la meilleur) comme j'ai déja dis.

A lot of people was using Tether.to to basically maintain the value BTC or other coins and then use it again to sell because It was a good solution for those who want to trade fast as It had 1:1 rates with USD.
Now, It looks like the price is 0.93$ for the last week or so, does this make it useless at this point? I thought It's backed by real USD.

Both threads are unlikely to get updated at this point but I'm not sure what you are talking about since a lot of those escrows (SebastianJu, Monbux, OgNasty etc.) was active, just a few hours ago.

It's very likely that the price will continue to increase in the upcoming days as altcoin holders will probably start to sell to get BTC while they can. If only we could get SegWit by now, that would've been awesome and we could probably have the same effect that Litecoin is currently having.

Someone reported almost the same thing a few hours ago in a thread of mine (of Exodus wallet that have a build-in ShapeShift exchange). I believe It's a known issue, all you could do at this point is contacting them and wait for an answer.

I'm not sure If there is a spam attack or not but the number of unconfirmed transaction is high right now: https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions (53k++)

That being sad, ViaBTC accelerator says "Successful" just for the submission of your TXID, It takes more then 1 hour for the transaction to get confirmed but It will eventually get to that stage. The fees are not that bad but next time check here before sending: https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

You can activate 2FA as money times as you want for different exchanges, yes. You simply scan the QR code for bittrex just like you first did with Poloniex and you are good to go, It should be added on the Google authenticator app under the Poloniex code.

If you are speaking about taking loans in general then Loanbase or bitbond could do the job as BTCJam is no longer taking loan requests anymore as the scam level is so high (I suspect that all the other platforms will do the same thing eventually) otherwise you have what above users proposed.

Kraken is definitely one of the worst exchanges out there, I would suggest using Poloniex It's the best from all perspectives (UI/UX, security, features, everything).

For those who don't know, ProtonMail is considered as the safest email provider where encryptions are used and no logs are kept etc. unlike Gmail, Hotmail and others. They are also currently building a VPN which I believe will be the best.

So they tweeted a few hours ago about Blockchain.info having security issues: https://twitter.com/ProtonMail/status/859486173558788096

I'm afraid that If blockchain.info don't fix their issue soon, some hackers could probably work harder and try to find the exploit and hack them. so just a heads-up, Its probably a good idea to move your coins out of the wallet.

I have only seen a couple of bots[1][2] around the forums (those that look serious). I suggest reading both threads, checking the reviews and decide yourself which one to buy.

[2] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1715214.0

It's also not forbidden to share services with the community on the forums but If the program is an executable and not open source, you better not as people won't trust or download it.

You are asking about Golem or Exodus? Golem is an altcoin and It's very known, made a successful ICO and It's one of the best projects out there. As for exodus, then Its a multi-coin wallet. It didn't come from anywhere as If you check the development on the releases page, you will see that there were changelogs since late 2015.

I didn't try the wallet but with some searching I found this: "Your Debit Card and Xapo Wallet are perfectly united. Simply add bitcoins to your wallet and the card is ready for use." So yes, all you need to do is add funds to your wallet and you are ready to go.

Bitify have a built-in escrow system so I don't understand what you are looking for precisely? If you want to use one from the forums then I doubt the seller would agree unless he already knows about bitcointalk and how things works here.

I believe that the current fees are 1:1 for USD/CHF so you are probably not going to lose much. If you want to cashout using the least of fees then I suggest checking some Bitcoin ATMs in your country: https://coinatmradar.com/country/206/bitcoin-atm-switzerland/ Its better then using a card.

Factom is definitely something coming, If you can check the releases page, you will see a screenshot of the wallet. Factom is listed there, so I believe they are currently testing it and should be available in future updates.


I honestly don't know but the trading is based on ShapeShift.io API so I doubt they are taking any fees from it. You could ask them on their slack, they are very active there.

It would affect yes. Its very simple:


If you start with 500 posts in your profile, posted 50 posts (which makes it 550 posts in your profile), and before the payout you start deleting some of your previous posts (deleted 6 posts for example => 544), this will result in having less posts count.

Instead of receiving 0.0007*50 = 0.035 BTC, you will get 0.0007 * 44 = 0.0308 BTC

There isn't as far as I know because those are the most used currencies. I see no problem though since you could order any of them, load your card, the ATM should convert the USD to swiss francs (If its your country currency) and you are good to go.
