There will be a small premine <1% the developers are currently working hard for free and im following the progress and looking over the modified code on github eventually these developers will want paying for all the work that has been done and that is where the premined coins will go.
For those of you complaining about a small premine which would you rather have the project being self financed and able to serve the community as best as possible or corporate funding that may want to dictate on the direction of the project
I think you are overestimating the amount of work that the Bitcoin Gold developers are putting in. Take a look at their Github and you will see that they haven´t actually done much work in the last weeks at all: https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPUThe whole premine makes this whole project look rather shady. I expect extremely low price levels if they even get listed at any exchanges at all! |

It perfectly shows that this is nothing more than an attempt to buy time before they eventually pull off another 'hack' hoax. For years Bitfinex has been unwilling to license itself properly, and in order to lower their overall governmental risk exposure, excluding US customers is a necessary step that has to be taken. I however don't believe that this will help to shake off the US authorities. Bitfinex has been offering its services to US customers for years, and that alone is reason enough for the authorities to look into their 'administration'.
I think this is pure conjecture. Most people involved in Bitfinex are known (e.g. Potter, Hoegner) and would have to look over their shoulder for the rest of their lifes if they would actually pull off a "hack hoax". They have one of the best trading platforms and are making a killing in trading fees. Additionally, I suspect they trade on their own exchange as well and quite possibly profit from buying up sketchy altcoins before listing them for trading. Just take a look at some of the recently added trading pairs and you will see that they started listing some obscure shitcoins. |

The big rumor going around last night is that Goldman Sachs is going to launch market-making in crypto currency for their clients in the third quarter of 2018. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but multiple people who don’t know each other are saying it. And why wouldn’t they? If that’s what their customers are asking for (and they are), then of course they will. This is the institutionalization of something that right now is still on the fringes of finance. I really like the writing style of the author. The event described in the quote above would obviously create tremendous upward pressure for the price. Personally, I think we will see a 25000 $ / BTC price - or even higher price levels - if the big banks really start offering market-making for cryptocurrencies. The only downside is that many institutional investors are legally bound to invest in certain asset classes. Unfortunately, when these guidelines were created cryptocurrency wasn´t even invented yet. |

Is it necessary to use a VPN if I open a Sbobet account through Asianconnect?
I reside in Germany and Sbobet access is probably restricted with a German IP address.

Does anyone know any option which works for Non-EU and outside of US?
Cause ATM, I do not see this.
WageCan Golden Card (they send it globally): wagecan.com However, I have my doubts regarding this Bitcoin debit card provider. In another thread the user "warningssigns" reported that the card has several issues. Among others: -162 $ sign-up fee -2,5 % fee for every ATM withdrawal on top of already existing fees charged by the bank, which provides the ATM -annual withdrawal limit for ATMs of 25000 $ ... I can´t find the thread now, but his review was rather negative. However, as far as I know this is currently the only option for non-EU and outside of the US. |

At least they're trying to help with security. I don't think there is much else they can do.
They could allow you to pick up your Trezor at the Satoshi Labs headquarter. This would remove the counterparty risk of the mail carrier. But this is probably not necessary if you see that the seals are undamaged. |

... Any good alternative? Monaco and tenx still under development....  I would not bet that these two projects become a viable alternative in the near future. They were founded in order to take part and profit from the ICO frenzy where every decent idea raised a ton of cryptocurrency. However, now that they have completed this goal it is doubtful if any of these ICOs can actually deliver a good product or user experience. In my opinion a huge percentage of these ICOs are vaporware or even outright scams with non-existing development. |

Are you developing this software from the ground up? Or will it be a customized skin on top of already developed software?
Did you use pokerstars assets in your mockup?
I remember reading somewhere that their project will be based on the same (or similar?) software that Betonline uses for their poker offer. In my opinion not a bad choice, because another Mavens poker software based poker room isn´t really needed. The market is already saturated with a lot of these sites, which all have low traffic. |

Hi
I was using wirex visa debit card to cash out my bitcoin here in canada, but now it's not working anymore.
Do anyone know another alternative?
I would like to use a card like Wirex because i need to cash out btc and pay things online.
Reward of 0.05btc to the person who can find me a solution.
Thanks
Have you considered WageCan? https://wagecan.com/According to the map on the homepage they send their cards to all countries. However, I would suggest that you start with researching how trustworthy WageCan actually is as a Bitcoin debit card provider. A downside that is already visible at first glance is the sign-up fee of 162 $ for den Golden Card. They have other cards as well, which aren´t as expensive, but they are not available in Canada. |

Which BTC dicesite offers the highest leverage for investments? I know Just-Dice offers
up to 25x leverage, but they only accept CLAM.
Besides, I already looked into Bitvest (they allow up to 10x leverage for Dice and up to 5x for some other games on their site).
Are there any other dicesites that offer 25x leverage for investments or even higher leverage?
I´m aware of the increased risk of ruin that is caused by investing with so much leverage.
Thank you for your suggestions!

if they are a serious company, then they should hire more staff to attend to their clients, this is the result of many exchanges not having office or not being a serious company.
That was my line of reasoning as well. I know they are drowning in support requests due to the massive influx of new users in 2017. However, this also implies that their income in terms of trading fees and additional fees (debit card, wire transfers) has increased substantially. Because of this increase in profits, they should have all the resources that are necessary in order to hire more support staff. This seems like such a no-brainer to me, because having a solid and good support would easily attract more users, which would increase the profits even further... Instead of improving their support they are adding unnecessary stuff like Ethereum trading. |

I haven't seen one BTC sports book that offers better odds than Nitrogen, so that's that. Nitrogen offers the best odds unless the sports book's rep comes in here and refutes that by showing their odds. And I call b*ll sh*t on your claim.
The selection of sports is arguable but their list is still really excellent imo.
Fairlay has better odds than Nitrogen on many sports and many games. However, they are not a real sports book and instead a prediction market. They use several market makers that make sure that the popular league markets are seeded with enough money. E.g. the first NFL game I looked at (decimal odds): Green Bay packers -3 -Nitrogensports (3 BTC max bet @ 1.905 odds) -Fairlay (3.253 BTC max bet @ 1.938) As you can see, you can bet slightly more at Fairlay and have better odds while doing so. This is similar for most other games as well. |

I have opened a Bitstamp support ticket more than 4 days ago and still haven´t received a reply.
I´m not talking about a big request, but rather a simple address change that should be able to be
processed within a few seconds by a customer service represantative.
I know they are probably drowning in support requests due to the influx of new users this year,
but this is getting really frustrating. Especially, because Bitstamp is still by far my favorite exchange
and I never had any problems in the past.
Has anybody made similar experiences in the last days? Is there a way to escalate a ticket?
Are they monitoring Reddit more intensive than Bitcointalk?

Any solutions for us Non Eu citizens after Oct 15th?
Can you specify in which country you are based? E.g. for citizens of the US, BitPay offers a card that is issued by the Metropolitan Commercial Bank. https://bitpay.com/cardHowever, if you are based in the rest of the world you are only able to receive a debit card from BitPay that is issued by Wave Crest Holdings. This is exactly the card issuer that has closed their service for people, who don´t reside in Europe after the 15th October. |

Bitcoin can no longer deliver on its original promises, has not figured out what new promises to make, and many of the new promises are unworkable, or are scams, or are likely to turn into scams.
...
What if I told you that Bitcoin has gravitated towards a use case as a store of value? Scaling solutions aren´t even really necessary for this purpose. ICO scams are more of a Ethereum or NEO problem than a problem of Bitcoin. Bitcoin´s scarcity makes it a great store of value that is easily portable (compared to precious metals). The known emission schedule makes it far superior to traditional currencies that can - and are - being devalued at will by the central banks. I concede that use cases like micropayments are not working out as people imagined years ago, but the store of value aspect has stood the test of time. |

You can use yubikey on kraken. I don't trust anything google anymore.
You can also run FreeOTP: https://freeotp.github.io/(FreeOTP is sponsored and officially published by Red Hat) It uses the same standards as Google 2FA (HOTP and TOTP) and therefore works everywhere where Google 2FA works. |

Depends on the transaction fees you use. How much do you pay?
He is talking about a withdrawal, not about a deposit. Bitfinex doesn´t allow you to choose your own withdrawal fee. On an unrelated note BT2 futures dropped a whopping 40 % in the last 24 hours. They are currently trading for roughly ~600$ / BT2. |

BTC fell from $1200 to $200.. the corrections are super intense.. To say otherwise is just foolish.
The whole BTC ecosystem has matured a lot since then. Besides, many people would just add to their holdings in the case of a correction. The amount of outstanding bids on the exchanges has increased dramatically. You only have to look at Bitfinex and Bitstamp to see more than 100M $ in open bids. Besides, the exchanges today are much more professional, which attracts serious investors that wouldn´t use a sketchy unprofessional exchange. Therefore I don´t think corrections like that are really possible anymore. |

Interesting link! Can you elaborate on FIAT pegged tokens? Are you planning something similar to Tether? Thank you for your help. |
