I had $1000 to "waste" so I bought 116,000,000 SHIB. That $1000 is profit I made on BTC, so I thought "Why not?" It was just for fun, but who knows?

I actually had to do a deintstall and reinstall to get it to work again.

Not sure if this is the right forum for this but--
After this morning's update from Google Play Store on Android Blockfolio no longer works. It crashes and disappears as soon as it is launched. Anybody else seeing this?

I went with a 75% BTC and 25% ETH for the time being. Of course neither one of them is doing very well at the moment. To answer an earlier post, I've been into BTC for several years. I first bought a bit at $800 and added a little more around $3000 and continued up to about $12000, so I've made a bit of profit so far. But BTC has slowed down while others have been galloping ahead, so thought it might be time to diversify.

It would be a case of trading some BTC for ETH. I had thought of doing that when ETH was around $1700.00 but didn't. Sigh.... But ETH and DOGE are around all time highs (ignoring the fact that they are down a bit today), and BTC is down, so it doesn't seem like a good time to do anything.

If you were going to invest in both BTC and ETH what percentage would you put into each? At the moment I have 100% in BTC but am thinking of diversifying.
Are there a couple of others that you would suggest should get some of that percentage, such as DOGE or something else? If so, what percentages?

Just to add some more information. Today I transferred some bitcoin out of BlockFi, and was texted a code to use. Afterwards I got an email requiring me to authenticate by uploading front and back images of an ID, and in addition required me to use my camera to scan my face as I gradually looked to my left and to my right. Shortly thereafter it was approved.

As I know, Coinbase uses the Authy app for 2FA until 31 march. They will no longer be supported after this date. If you do not migrate to Google 2FA or Duo, they will automatically remove the 2FA protection from your account. Which time zone use on your phone, is there any difference in other devices which had regular access to Coinbase? it was a problem for me at one point until I put it on automatic time zone determination.
All my devices show the same time zone and I haven't moved out of this time zone. Gemini uses Authy, but I thought Coinbase/Coinbase Pro used Google Authenticator. I pretty sure that is asked for an Authenticator code not an Authy code.

Each website you create a 2-Factor Authentificaion for also gives you a recovery code that you can use in case you encounter problems with your phone or the Google 2FA app. What is the status of those recovery codes, did you not write them down when you initially set up 2FA?
I have used a few exchanges that allows you to whitelist your device and IP address. The next time you login, it's enough to enter your ID and password and the site wont request a 2FA code. That's why you are still able to access certain sites without any codes.
I was unaware that I was given any recovery codes. Coinbase, for example, simply sent me a verification code so that I could log in, unless this is the code you were talking about. They sent me several such codes, presumably different ones for Coinbase and Coinbase Pro and for the three different devices I was using for access. Of course, I now don't know which code goes with which device or app since they were all texted to my phone and have no differentiating information in the messages. I guess I won't know anything further until I have occasion to execute a Coinbase/Coinbase Pro transaction. Then I'll just have to see what it asks for and if it is something I can supply.

I think it's time for you to find a new phone then. I never know a phone that does that. Are you sure you don't modify something and install something like "deepfreeze" for your phone?
Pretty sure the backup failed or got corrupted. If you can't buy a new phone then I think using another authenticator client might be a good alternative. You should do it asap to make sure you don't lose your access to those exchanges, which will take a very long time to recover.
I did buy a new phone. I went from an LG G4 running Android 6.0 to a Samsung Galaxy 515M (7 amp battery) running Android 10. There is an odd thing though. After I knew that my Authenticator wasn't working any more I tried redoing my 2FA setup, obviously not knowing what I was doing. Of course that accomplished nothing. But the odd thing is that after rebooting the phone it never again deleted an app. It could just be happenstance, but it is curious. I retained my phone number, so the old phone is still usable for internet access, but it just gathering dust in a drawer. It was suggested that I use Aegis, but without any Authenticator stuff working there is nothing to try to import to Aegis.

Not sure what's happening because I personally don't use Coinbase, but 2-factor authentication is mostly required by financial services to increase more security for their users and to prevent hackers/scammers from accessing their accounts and stealing their money.
Why did you "destroy" your authentication keys in the first place(or did it get destroyed unintentionally)? Knowing that Coinbase would require it every time.
I had an Android problem where after a phone reboot some apps were being deleted. After googling around I saw that some others were reporting the same thing. I got tired of having reinstall 4 - 5 apps every time I restarted the phone. So I took a backup. The next time I rebooted my phone and apps were deleted I just did a restore from the backup. For some reason my Google Authenticator codes never worked again. Somehow they were damaged during this process. I had moved my funds from Coinbase Pro to BlockFi to take advantage of the interest they pay for deposited bitcoin. Since that bitcoin movement I have not had occasion to again buy/sell/transfer any bitcoin using BlockFi. I have been able to sign on/off BlockFi, but I would probably have had a problem if I actually tried executing a transaction. I have initiated the process of getting re-authenticated (or whatever the term is) at the following site: https://help.blockfi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048862652-I-lost-my-2FA-Code-how-can-I-access-my-account-again-However I still don't quite understand the Coinbase stuff. They sent me a code to use to sign on, and an email to verify the device I use to access my account. But wouldn't I expect to be asked for an Authenticator code if I tried to execute a transaction? I don't see how it would now recognize my Authenticator codes. I don't know anything I did that would allow it to.

Coinbase sent me a one time code to use to login after my having been locked out, but I don't know if I will ever be asked for any other code. To clearify, each time I went to login on a different device they sent me a code to use during the login process.
Where do you receive the code? To your number? Then nothing else is required. That's the code I think. And in some cases, if the device used to log in your account is known to coinbase, they may not ask for code. Yes, they sent it to my phone, and then during the login process they sent an email to which I had to respond on the same device that I was using to try to login. But, you now have me worried about BlockFi. If I am asked for an Authenticator code to withdraw funds it will fail. I wonder if there is any other way to test this without actually trying to withdraw funds.

Your question isn’t clear to me. Anyway, if you set 2FA (which you will be asked for with most of the reputed sites), you will be asked for code on every time you log in or withdraw fund. In case of coinbase, I used my number only and I am required to use the code everytime I try to withdraw fund.
Well, on BlockFi I log on and off a couple of times every day and am only asked for my userid and password. This makes me wonder if I should try a small withdrawal to see they ask me for anything else. Coinbase sent me a one time code to use to login after my having been locked out, but I don't know if I will ever be asked for any other code. To clearify, each time I went to login on a different device they sent me a code to use during the login process. If I am asked for any code when withdrawing funds, I would have no idea what to enter.

I managed to destroy my Authenticator keys and just got re-enabled by Coinbase. So, any time that I had been asked for my Authenticator code it would fail. So, I could not access Coinbase or Coinbase Pro on my phone, but could access both on my tablet, and could only access Coinbase Pro on my desktop. If any of these would have had occasion to ask for my Authenticator code it would have failed and then I would have no longer have had access. I can still access other exchanges that use Authenticator codes.
So, my question is under what circumstances is one asked for an Authenticator code?

Going over this video it seems pretty easy to see the transaction history from the Coinbase App, and further viewing the TX details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOtvWe3mqfEThe video is pretty recent, and the bitcoin price captured on the screen seems to be from february of this year, so the interface should be that of the current version (or so). Yep, you're right. There was nothing on the screen indicating that the "My Wallet" line was "clickable." It showed the current value over to the right and I thought that was it. Thanks much!

Coinbase help indicates there is an entry under a Profiles menu entry. That entry must only be available on the desktop version as opposed to the mobile version. I am currently locked out of the desktop version because of a clobbered security key and am working with coinbase about getting re-verified. That should be fixed in a couple of days and I'll check again then. I'll report back. Thanks for the help.

I was using coinbase, not coinbase pro. I purchased both with credit cards (don't remember which ones) and also local currency. I realize that I can go back through all my credit card statements for the last several years, and bank statements, but I was hoping there would be an easier way. After all, if the IRS can find the information it must be available somewhere.

It is weird that you don't see any records on coinbase. Did you maybe use another account? Or a different exchange?
On coinbase I don't see any menu entry or other way to see historical activity. Maybe it is there and I just can't find it. I am looking at the mobile app if that matters.

Over several years I have purchased a little bit of bitcoin here and there. I think most, if not all, of those purchases were made on Coinbase. I don't see any historical record of those purchases. Is there any way to tell when, how much, and at what purchase price I made those acquisitions? Any way to tell from the blockchain? I don't need to know for this tax year, but I will at some point of time in the future.

I still haven't heard back from Coinbase. At least my Authy seems to continue to work on Gemini, and until BlockFi wants another Authenticator code from me everything continues to work there. At least they have a printed procedure to follow to get re-authenticated if necessary. So, if Coinbase can't do anything for me at least I can transfer funds from BlockFi to Gemini and could sell there if I wanted. Perhaps I could use Kraken also since I still have an old account there.
I tried to set the Aegis app up but have had no luck. I was trying to do an import from file for Authy as a test since I know that Authy sill works for me. But it seems the file is hidden and I can't get to it. Also, root access is required if trying to import from an app so that doesn't work. In terms of doing a QR code scan or "Enter Manually" I have no idea what it wants. Also, I don't know what goes in the other entries where there are options of SHA1, SHA256 or SHA512, as well as a numeric field following that which defaults to the number 6.
Also I have always wondered how one does a QR scan of a QR code which is displayed on the phone itself. Does they assume that one has another device to take the picture?
In the midst of this I also upgraded phones, going from an LG G4 to a Samsung Galaxy M51 but keeping the same phone number.
