Found this... https://support.coinbase.com/customer/en/portal/articles/815435-does-coinbase-pay-miner-fees-?b_id=13521Coinbase does not pay the network mining fee on behalf of customers for outgoing digital currency transactions.
The fee you pay for outgoing transactions is calculated dynamically at the time the transaction is created. This means that the fee may be higher or lower depending on the overall transaction volume currently on the digital currency network. The fees are displayed on the send confirmation screen. Please note that no portion of this fee goes to Coinbase. Would be great to hear from someone whom has sent Bitcoin from Coinbase to another wallet and what it cost in miner fees percent wise please. There are no percentage fees when making a transaction, the fee is fixed. You can see it once you entered the BTC address and the amount. If I remember correctly the fee is about 0.001 BTC no matter the amount you are trying to send. And of course, the sender is charged for this fee, not the address receiving it

This is what Coinbase is famous for. Their horrible customer service. If you need help with anything simply forget about getting any help. I rarely have seen someone with a problem resolved. It's one of the reasons I stopped to use their service, after all, there is a lot of other alternatives to look for.

Coinbase removed this feature long time ago back in 2016 at least. So yeah you can sign a message there I could have appreciated if they informed the customers but it doesn't look their cup of tea to inform people about changes. As alternative, you can check Bitwala that let you getting access to your private keys, when you create your wallet.

I am surprised if they are accepting deposits from Revolut. Knowing how Kraken is very strict from which banks deposits are made and not accepting deposits from some (traditional) banks, I would not be surprised if they stop deposits from Revolut in some months. Especially if they face frauds at a high rate.

Bitcoin is a digital currency that is fast, secure, decentralized, and which also has very cheap transaction fees. Bitcoin has no border from one country to another that is why it is accepted all over the world. Based on all these aspects, do you think bitcoin has a role to play in the future? Share with us what you think? thanks Based on what I am seeing now, I can clearly say that bitcoin will play a very big role in the future. Not omly because it is owning right now but because the age we are currently living now is digital which means it will absolutely bring great convinience if bitcoin will be declared as the future currency in the future. You can make almost everything digital it doesn't mean it will be mass adopted. If there are no advantages or too much difficult to use you can't expect to see people using it. I am thinking for example about the senior people who never used a smartphone or let's say alone the www.

I was one of the people using Bittrex but stopped to use it since they become just ridiculous with their verification. Currently, I am using Cryptopia when I receive some altcoin from campaigns (which I never keep them and prefer exchange immediately upon receiving) and Kraken for buying/selling Bitcoin. I am fine with both.

Regarding cryptocurrencies, I am just focusing on Bitcoin currently and I am fine with this. I am little tired with altcoins. From time to time I buy gold but I don't do it as an investment with the hope to make money from it. I do it to "secure" some funds. Like the majority I own a saving account, but nothing to make me rich here, only 0.75% interests yearly

When the price was $500 a lot of people were saying Bitcoin will never reach 1000$. When the price reached $1000 people said Bitcoin is so expensive. When it was $2000 they were saying that Bitcoin is dead. Now 2017 and a price of over $5000 those same people are trying to find excuses against Bitcoin. I think this type of people are just frustrated to not have invested some bucks sometime back when the price was peanuts

It is possible theoretically. At the beginning of this year the price was about $1000 and today 10 months later it's at $5500 about, so why not. But it needs to be based on somethings. As for now there is no sign that could give a strong idea that the price will be over $15k. But with Bitcoin everything is possible lol, so fingers crossed

The reason I ask is that I am from Australia and my Xapo Card no longer works as their card provider isn't supporting countries outside the EURO zone.
- Any cards that anyone can recommend ? (If it works in Australia - Even better)
- There a seriously so many to choose from, so really wanting to know one that is trustworthy please.
Thanks in advance.
So far the only services able to serve customers outside Europe are Wagecan but the cost is high ($160). The other is Cryptopay (not sure), they were concerned by this change which occurred in August but if I understood by reading here, they changed the company they work with and are now able to deliver cards from not Europeans. As I say, I am not 100% sure so better to check their website, they have a chat if you want to get an answer quickly

one of which affects the bitcoin price, is the trust of bitcoin users. I can't say that I am perfectly right but I think the reason why bitcoin price rises is that through the years bitcoins has already widen its market to different countries wether the developed ones or the third world countries. As the years passed more and more people have proven that they earn from bitcoins and these testimonies encourages more and more people to invest, trade and mine bitcoins making its value higher too. A lot of people were buying bitcoins as much as they can with the hope to get free coins from bitcoin gold. There are those who may have missed the free coins from bitcoin cash and didn't want to miss the possibility to get free coins from bitcoin gold. As you can see since, Bitcoin's value has been corrected from the hype

The U.S government doesn't control the dollar. All americans know that everything in their economy is ruled by the FED. Why the FED or the government would invent something that they can't have any control on. It's not like if Bitcoin was issued by a bank. Bitcoin is not even used in their market for trade

SEPA transfers take from 1 to 3 days. It depends on your bank. So for example, if you requested a SEPA transfer yesterday, let's say they will process it today (They can do it Monday if they don't work on the weekend) you should see it credited to your account between Monday to Wednesday at least. Too soon to start to worry for your money.

They just provide solutions for merchants to be able to accept Bitcoin. They can't be responsible for what behaviour the seller has. Actually, you can be happy (at least) that they disabled the seller to use their service. To be honest, I don't think you will recover your bitcoins

Some exchanges don't have the option to sell your coins for $,£,€ In some exchanges such as Kraken, Bitstamp, etc people can sell their bitcoins (of course) for dollars, euros, etc and then get the money transferred to their bank account quite easily.

Bitcoin is heading to $10,000, CNBC survey says https://www.c[Suspicious link removed]m/2017/10/20/bitcoin-price-is-heading-to-10000-cnbc-survey-says.html - The price of bitcoin could be heading to over $10,000, nearly half of respondents to a CNBC survey said
- Just over a third agreed with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon who said "you'll pay the price" for investing in bitcoin
- Sixteen percent of the 23,118 people who voted said bitcoin will hit between $6,000 and $8,000
Everytime I read such things , I first regret as to why I rapidly use my Bitcoin as soon I earn them. But then I realized that thinking in such a manner wouldn't matter much . Now we're talking about 10k USD , after a year we might talk about like 15k USD so we can't basically hold for such a long time and make your ambitions wait. It is important to also "use" Bitcoin though. If you just hold them, the low liquidity can eventually be harmful, but we're not their yet by a long run... Making people (not only investors) aware of Bitcoin should become one of the priorities in the next years. It's the problem. Most of the people starting to use including those who started 1 year ago are using cryptos as their investment. Bitcoin is a currency and should be used as a currency. It's not an investment for the retirement or a collectable item. People hear about Bitcoin as a high ROI in just a few months etc then what people do? They buy bitcoins and hold them and not use it.

The Bitcoin's price is so volatile these recents days like it was for the previous fork in July. You can go to sleep and the next day the value lose 10-15%. The weekend is starting and usually, the price falls a little during those days. It may fail a lot since we are in a fork period. Still 4-5 days left, after this, I am sure we will see a correction and a nice one.

Investing in gold and investing in Bitcoin is totaly different People investing in gold are mainly those who are looking to protect their funds in case of an economic crisis, war, or just because they prefer this over their saving account in a bank. Currently the ones investing in Bitcoin are doing it with the only purpose to generate a profit

If I remember correctly you can do this with Coinbank. But there are 2 things you have to consider. You will need to have a verified account with Coinbank. Secondly Paypal may hold the funds for a period of 21 days (like when you sell on ebay). I have not tested myself, but you can see about this in their FAQ or Fees pages.

I tough that people who registered before a certain date don't need to verify their account? My account was registered before this supposed date but when I log in my account I am redirected directly to the verification page. Euh. I am not going to give any piece of personal information to Bittrex. After all, there are plenty of exchanges around. No problem I will stick with Cryptopia and use it more
