1  Economy / Exchanges / Re: My terribly negative experience with QuadrigaCX, Canada's leading BTC exchange on: September 28, 2017, 03:31:36 PM
TL;DR: Quadriga provided this Canadian some wire info for a bank in Poland, it hasn't shown up in 9 days, Quadriga ha no desire apparently to investigate or clarify if I should put a trace on the wire. Post negative review (can be amended) on facebook. QuadrigaCX blocks me from commenting further, I email them saying that I'll go to social media with the details of my negative experience; an hour later they close my account.

-----------




Why wire through Poland? Probably to avoid rules and regulations + bank fees + they where probably not able to connect to a bank here when they mention bitcoin

I was able to transfer $1000 a couple of months back and everything went well, had the money in QuadrigaCX within 5 days

Sucks to hear it went terrible for you Sad hope that you will see your money soon


So I was just wondering, did you ever get your money back? Or find another Canadian BTC exchange?

I am at the moment mining some BTC and will deposit them to Coinbase, and I planned on transferring them to Quadriga then sell them off and withdraw the CAD to my bank account. I also made a small $300 investment on ETH from Genesis Mining, which I also plan on transfering my Ethereum wallet to Quadriga, sell them off and withdraw the CAD.

I am kinda new to this cryptocurrency business so was wondering if you have any tips.

Store in Coinbase? No! Dont trust a third party to store your money.
Best way to store your digital currency is Hardware wallet, if you are serious about digital currency.

Otherwise, get a raspberry pi and download wallets to your raspberry pi
Why rasberry pi? Runs linux (I assume you are running windows), so it is safer, a clean machine and you just leave it to take care of your wallets. Also easy to hide or bring with you.
And the chance for you to get virus, trojan horses and other bullshit from weird website (including porn sites) is minimal if you keep it for you storing your money.

And it is freaking cheap, you probably could get a raspberry pi with case and everything for around $40-50, cheaper than a hardware wallet. Not as safe, still pretty good.

Never trust someone else to take care of your money, the big reason why bitcoin was invented Smiley

Hope it helps
