in your country income from bitcoin taxed? state the country
In my country Bitcoin is barely known by people. Also in governments laws Bitcoin does not exist, so how can I pay tax for something that they never heard about?
Even if I would want to pay taxes from my profit made with bitcoin how am I going to proof where I sold my bitcoins and how much is the profit? I need a receipe for that but maybe I am doing exchange with a person, not a company.
Bitcoin is not yet know by governments, so paying taxes now for bitcoin is a donation from my opinion

You are responsible to keep track records about your activity with bitcoin. What and Where you buy/sell etc. And don't say to your Taxes offices you didn't know because you are supposed to know and it's not an excuse. Also, any income if supposed to reported into your taxes report, so no matter if it is with bitcoin or not, you are supposed to report any income.

It's very ironic how something so centralised is showing interest in something created to battle the very essence of banking systems. Having spoken to people in finance almost all have had negative things to say about Bitcoin and most have said it's a bubble waiting to burst.
This is definitely good news. Even the banks know BTC's worth and regardless of their motivation for trading it, this definitely helps widespread adoption Smiley

It will end like with JP Morgan, they will create their own pattern and their own crypto-based project and will claim to have THE invention of the 21th century. While it's true all have a negative opinion about Bitcoin, most of them find the Blockchain technology interesting and useful for the banking systems. It's why I say blockchain has more potential than Bitcoin.

There is a dozen of websites like you are looking for. Basically, you load your account with Bitcoin, it gets converted to $,£ or € following their internal rate, then you transfer the money to your card, it is instant to load your card. If you go to the "service discussion" section you will find several topics about it.
7704  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Best Virtual cards to withdraw from paypal on: October 03, 2017, 09:09:28 PM
Not every country is eligible to be able to withdraw Paypal funds to a card (no matter the card). Only some countries can. So it's best to check the Paypal bible before trying to do anything, because if you discover it during the last moment then you have wasted your time.
To add to the posts above, you can only do it if you're verified with the card provider to  meet the KYC/AML policies
7705  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Most respected Debit Card Provider for Verified UK users? on: October 02, 2017, 09:39:50 PM
I'd heard good things about Xapo and a lot of the review sites speak of them very highly

Any reason to doubt the good words?

Xapo is not very well reputed for their outstanding support given to users. If you need help or have questions and can wait several days or weeks to get a reply, or maybe none, then you're good to go. But if a day you have a problem with let say, money on your card but your card doesn't work anymore and so your money locked in your card. You would prefer having a customer support that cares about its users

Bittrex does this on a regular basis and their policy is as meaningful as dirt.
They are in possession of your property and are willingly and openly refusing to return to you what is rightfully yours.
Their policy is a despicable justification of Grand Larceny. and will not stand in any court of law.
The coins/ assets are not lost and technically don't need to be "recovered"
The recovery process takes less than 5 minutes, yet they refuse to provide the right assistance and support to their users/clients.
This tells you a great deal about the kind of people who work at Bittrex and how little they value and care about their clients.

Bittrex need to be made aware that they are not within any right to do this and must return that which is not their's to the rightful owners.

It may be time to petition against Bittrex and i call for this motion.

John

No, it can't be done within 5 minutes. It requires someone working on it and huge resources for "maybe" be "able" to recover. It doesn't worth their time in terms of ROI, (especially since it is not their error but the client). It's like why would you help someone having his 2 cents coin stuck in a machine if a  2000$ tool is needed to perhaps help the person?
If it was so easy then all exchanges would offer this solution free of cost.
7707  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lack of protection: obstacle to use of crypto as money? on: October 02, 2017, 04:06:28 PM
Not agree with you on this point. Otherwise, let me ask you. When buying something and you pay with coins/banknotes, how are you protected? You can't go to the police and the bank and say my banknote has the number #xxxxx printed on it. As of today, it hasn't been a problem to spread this method of payment. Same thing when gold was used to trade
7708  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Bitcoinwiki.org - multi language wiki about cryptocurrency and ico on: October 02, 2017, 02:43:14 PM
So I want to ask the bitcointalk community what kind of articles you would like to receive?  Maybe topics you are interested in but that are not discussed much in the internet?

You should follow the purpose of this CMS, since you are using a Wiki, make it as it should be. If you are going to write an article "how to make your ico step by step guide" etc, then better for your business to make it as a blog, using WordPress or whatever.
It fits better for a blog than a wiki. As a wiki reader, it's not something I am looking for. I hope you see my point. =)


I understand what you are talking about, but the major format of our articles is wiki though. We are just thinking how to make it more interesting and useable. And we are still looking for the character to differ from all over resources.

I'll send you a link for feedback when we will finish =)
Sure, I will be waiting for.  Smiley
7709  Economy / Speculation / Re: The price is increasing AGAIN on: October 02, 2017, 02:01:03 PM
Yes, the value is increasing again but the question until when? When will see the next drama-fud-fake news stories that everyone will believe and start to sell in the same day? When you see the price can be manipulated with a single article or a single tweet, I am puzzled.

And as I am thinking this month will be similar to what we saw in July, I expect to see the price failing this month below the $4000
7710  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum Private keys on: October 02, 2017, 01:01:06 PM
Ok, then there is something confusing me. To be able to recover an Electrum wallet the user needs the seed phrase only? With 2048 words it's easy to recover the seed of random people? With 2048 how many different seeds can be generated? I tried to install Electrum and set a password, I don't remember if I had the choice to use one. This password is need as well to recover a wallet?
7711  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Christine Lagarde and Cryptocurrency on: October 02, 2017, 12:47:09 PM
If you learn about her, I don't think you will say you "admire" this woman. Google about the bank Crédit Lyonnais and Bernard Tapie for the sale of Adidas and why the French state had to pay over 400 millions € to Tapie (using the citizens money of course). Maybe the biggest financial/political drama in the republic story. Accused for "Fraudulent alteration of the truth" "Embezzlement" and "negligence", and how she has been surprisingly declared "innocent"
7712  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Sending BTC from Coinbase to Electrum - Did I do something wrong? on: October 02, 2017, 02:31:02 AM
You don't have to choose a fee, Coinbase does it automatically since sometime now. You found an old topic on their FAQ. The fees set by their system is far enough (and sometimes too much high than it coule be). Sometimes transactions take more time than others and sometimes Coinbase has delay doing the transactions. There is nothing that you can do other than to wait.
7713  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this Forum full of 'normal people' who over the years became filthy rich? on: October 02, 2017, 01:38:00 AM
There are surely some members who got a huge success with Bitcoin and now live a confortable life and why not millionaires, but in this case they don't have any reason to be here anymore and it is understable.And they surely won't come again to tell it publicly. . So far I am on the waiting list lol.
I suspect there are, but if these millionaires are smart they wouldn't hang around bitcointalk anymore!  If I had a million in crypto, I'd be out on the beach somewhere, not reading shitpost after shitpost here.

I've heard there was a time that faucets used to pay out whole bitcoins per claim.  That's incredible to me.  You just never know where any given crypto is headed, price-wise.  That's why I'm still a sucker and claim free doge and bitcoin from one faucet that I like.  It's a time-wasting exercise but I have a lot of time to waste.

Sig campaigns used to pay out huge amounts of bitcoin, too, if I'm not mistaken.  Maybe some of the old-timers can attest to that.

Buddy, literally most of your posts contain the word "shit". You are the literal definition of a "shit"poster.

How can you be THAT blind?! Seriously do you not see how bad your posts are? Over half of them contain curse words, are extremely over-aggressive in nature to the point of being extreme bullying and quite frankly I don't know how you have not been banned yet. I mean any one who reads your posts clearly sees how incredibly uncalled for your attitude is.

Trying to claim otherwise is next to impossible as you would need to delete almost all of your posts. I dare you to delete every post of yours which contains the word "shit" or "fuck" and your account would drop back down to Full Member! You ought to be ashamed of yourself, whoever you are.

If you think that "shit" and "fuck are extremely aggressives, I advice to go out sometimes  Cheesy and stop living in your bubble
7714  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum Private keys on: October 02, 2017, 12:55:07 AM
I've exported the key as csv from Wallet > Private Keys > Export
Pretty straighforward.
Which will become outdated and effectively useless after you use more than 20 receive addresses or 5 change addresses... And it starts generating more keys in the key pool which aren't in your backup.

You don't need to mess around with private keys when you have an HD wallet like Electrum... Just make sure you have safe and secure backups of your 12 word seed phrase. That will enable full recovery of your wallet, regardless of how many addresses you have used.

My next step now is to deposit some BCH into my wallet. I'll use Bitstamp for that.
Wait... What? BCH??!? Huh

Are you using Electrum or ElectronCash?? Electrum is BTC only! ElectronCash is BCH.

Be careful about what currency you're sending and to what wallet address!

I though Electrum doesn't generate more than 20 addresses and 5 change addresses ? The doc is not talking about generating new addresses as far I remember. And while I am at it. How many words the software knows/use to generate the seed? There is something confusing me with it

7716  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Most respected Debit Card Provider for Verified UK users? on: October 01, 2017, 10:37:22 PM
Hello all,

I want to buy a physical debit card which I can load my BTC on and use as my daily card.

My main goal is to go with the "best" provider in terms of longevity of service, quality reputation, customer service etc., rather than cheapest option/fees

I will be providing my full ID and utility bill so I have no need for any "anonymous" services.

I need a high/unlimited daily and lifetime purchase power. I'm UK based so would like to deal with a company that can denominate in GBP and ship a card to UK.

Thanks all

Once you will be verified you will have the high limit that you're looking for, no problem with that. All cards can be denominated in only 3 currencies ($,£,€) so no problem as well. Bitwala and Cryptopay are both etablished companies with proven records about their services and are considered reputable and trustworthly. Cryptopay is from UK and Bitwala from Germany or Netherlands.
7717  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What is Shared When Paying with Bitcoin? on: October 01, 2017, 09:54:37 PM
None information will be transferred unless the site is using coinbase too. In this case, they are able to see your name used in Coinbase in their history will appear sent from "insert name". As said other than that they won't provide them any infos. Only if you commit a criminal act or something like that
Is there anyway to tell which wallet the site uses?
I am a noobie to bitcoin so looking for the simplest process I can find to buy bitcoin then use to pay for the service.

Yes, there is a way. But it you know the BTC address, and usually Shops (or something like that) use an unique addresse for each new transaction/sale so I don't think you can know in advance the adress. Unless your purchase something and on the check out when they provide you an address to pay the order you simple abandon.
You can use Walletexplorer to know the wallet used. Usually shops/services/etc use online wallets such as Coinbase.

I don't know what you're afraid to share about with the site but if you really do notwant to share anything (not even your btc address used) you can use a mixer such as Chipmixer and you will be able to do 100% anonymous payments

7719  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the standard of bitcoin investment? on: October 01, 2017, 01:12:12 AM
I have 4.6 bitcoins, but I don't know if that's a good investment.
I want to know how much people invest in bitcoins, is it more then 10 bitcoins?
And what is the standard bitcoin investment?
I don't want to waste too much money on bitcoin, you know I'm not that rich and I have to pay bills.


4.6 BTC is a good amount of money. Nobody wants to waste money and we all have bills to pay. If you're not confident, honestly you have maybe too much Bitcoin and you should maybe sell some to reduce the risk of losing money? Can you afford to lose money? It also depends on what price you bought them. I don't know what it represents for someone in your country...
7720  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Coinify and Blockchain.info verification on: October 01, 2017, 12:53:31 AM
Blockchain.info redirect you to Coinify or it is something integrated within the site? If you are not redirected to the site then it is normal Blockchain.info is using Coinify not their own system, hence the responsibility of the verification goes to Coinify. That's why I was saying Coinify does verifications checks in some cases, I supposed he was aware of it. Also I guess you used a card and not a bank account...
