As a user of MtGox and Cryptsy I've learned if anything goes wrong with an exchange you're not getting your money back regardless of the terms. I don't think Tether would just steal people's money while continuing operation just because their terms would allow them to do so. Such terms are most likely made just so it can get them out of some legal trouble should anything go wrong with the service like being hacked or USDT support going to crap or whatever.

Whenever they enable conversions again and I get verified I really don't care if they pay out fiat withdrawals because I'll only be sending them money.

Coinbase doesn't support USD deposits. I did ask Bitstamp what happened but they refuse to reply to any of my emails.

I'll look into itbit, thanks again!

Gemini is not available in my country.

Can I actually withdraw Bitcoins from the other sites you listed? I'm not interested in trading, only buying.

Appreciate the reply

To me it looks like Bitfinex had/has a huge backlog of verifications to do and the same people handle the verifications for tether but Bitfinex is the higher priority. Looks like they just started doing verifications on tether today. Moved 50 places in the queue today while normally it's just 5ish a day when people cancel their verifications.

For me Kraken doesn't support any USD deposits other than USDT.

Thanks for letting me know about OTC brokers, exactly the kind of help I was looking for. I'll look into them and see if they suit my needs.

I also found out cex.io  accepts USD without fees.

Transferwise might be an option too, thanks for mentioning that, though they seem to have too high fees for me.

Hello everyone.

I've been a long time user of Bitstamp since 2013 and never even looked at other exchanges. Bitstamp suddenly closed my account without reasoning and now I'm looking for another exchange where I can deposit USD to buy bitcoins. I receive large sums in USD (7 figures a year) and want to prevent currency exchange fees.

I'm still waiting to get verified on tether.to but does anyone know if they even allow USD deposits from Europe? Whenever I get to use their services I can use USD Tether on Poloniex, Bitfinex and other popular exchanges, but is there any exchange where I can directly deposit USD in case this is a no go or takes too long.

Another thing I could do is trade the USD to euros and deposit those to an European exchange. Does anyone know what would be the cheapest way to do this? My bank takes a 3% fee and with high volume that would become way too expensive.

Will appreciate any help or tips.

Edit: Sorry, wrong section, can't delete, please move.

Correct me how I'm wrong. I don't know much about ETH at all but I've been in Bitcoin since 2011.

Essentially what you're doing sounds like you're just fundraising for your own coin, just so you will enable support for your own coin in your own services? Why couldn't you just enable the services using ETH or BTC or whichever already popular crypto?

How would you get other than your own websites to add skincoin support other than by offering them a big chunk of the coins for the feature? Is that what you need the 300 mill skincoins for?

From the beginning the performance/popularity of the coin will solely be based on how well your skincoin<->skin exchange website works and I hate that idea. Surely you will have to introduce all kinds of fees and ways to make money to prevent people from abusing the system and that allows you to control the skincoin market. Both of these will drive users away from using the coin. There would have to be many such exchanged ran by multiple different parties so nobody gets control. I see so many problems with the concept.

My bad. I looked into the arguments but not carefully enough . Thank you so much it works great

Hey, I'm not sure if this is allowed here, but I'll pay $25 if someone can compile me the lifeboat oclvanitygen64 with support for compressed BTC addresses. Only the lifeboat version spits out valid data on my computer (i7-6800k, GTX 1070, Win 7). I'm very busy at the moment and building for Windows always drives me crazy trying to find the correct libraries etc..

I'm paying way too high fees from my uncompressed address 1KEyVEndor3p6c3NL2UiVhscXPZKb3DfY1 and I want to keep a vanity address for my business.

Lol. Everyone is taking OP seriously. What's wrong with you people? The sarcasm couldn't be more obvious. Haven't you guys even heard the news about Bitfinex?

Thanks for the clarification. I must've recalled the feature from some other site.

No offense but your account is brand new and this feature might've been removed years ago, so you wouldn't know.

I noticed I have a BTC address in my signature (1C3NNQ6Y7Qa7Q3mBSUqMT3v7tnADwh5aio) and I believe this was automatically assigned to my account and tagged at blockchain.info when I signed up here. I believe there used to be a way to withdraw the coins from the address? Does bitcointalk still allow me access to this address or am I remembering everything wrong?

It can be easily done with PHP and this https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/API_reference_%28JSON-RPC%29
If you know PHP well enough you shouldn't have a problem writing a small class for managing your bitcoin server via PHP. I've done it too. That way you can make new addresses for payments and check whether you've received a payment and so on.

Just wondering why would anyone want to use this. You don't seem to have any reason to have traffic on your site, which makes the ads totally useless as nobody is watching them. Also I think that the descriptions of the ads are a real pain in the ass to read.

It could be easily done by writing a short script that first runs the client as a server, then sends the BTC with the sendfrom or sendtoaddress command and then shuts down the server with the stop command. And it would execute once a month.
