Payment via Bank Transfer into UK bank account, must be UK account, preferably a Business Bank Account due to the volume, please message with rate.

What's the source of the funds in your bank account and why can't you buy from an exchange?

Since he won't or can't buy from an exchange (given the extensive and stringent verification requirements) it is almost without doubt that the funds were sourced illegally.

£5k-10k per week. Definitely criminal.

Be careful.



Everything is relative, £5k - £10k per week may seem a life changing sum for you, maybe not for someone else. Given the limitations of Coinbase, I am looking elsewhere.

Keep your ASSumptions to yourself.

3  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Private Keys Question on: March 13, 2017, 06:49:18 PM
Thanks for the help guys, I'll keep multiple backups of the seed, glad as it's relatively easy compared to saving the keys etc
4  Bitcoin / Electrum / Private Keys Question on: March 12, 2017, 07:40:27 PM
Would be grateful if someone could answer these questions as I can't find a definitive answer via search..

I have my seed written down and stored safely as a backup but have also exported the private keys as an additional measure, do I need to export the private keys each time my balance is updated when I receive coins to a different address in my wallet? If I lost my seed, would the private keys allow me to recover my wallet into another provider say if the Electrum service were to disappear? Any other back up options?

Thanks

I think the best option is a desktop wallet such as Electrum, it's easy for daily spending and more secure than blockchain.info because you're the only one with access to your funds. If you use Electrum or most other wallets you only have to backup your wallet once.

Thanks for answering that, always thought a backup was required after each transaction, Electrum seems like the way forward

All you need to have is the private keys , If you have them then you don't to take any other backups anymore and as far as I know the JSON file contains those private keys.
I'm not sure if the hardware wallets allow importing private keys , I wouldn't suggest using them If you are planning to use your coins daily or something like , they are better for long term storage just like Paper wallets.

Here are my suggestions :


1. Send your coins to an Electrum (Desktop wallet) and make sure you write down the seed the wallet generates for you, that way , If anything goes wrong you can recover your wallet.

2. Generate a paper wallet using Bitadress.org and send the coins from Blockchain.info to that paper wallet and keep it safe.

Of course the second suggestion is valid only if you are planning to hold your coins for long term , If it's for daily uses then go for Electrum.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm going to download Electrum now, if my laptop was stolen for example that stored the wallet, providing I have everything can I just reinstall electrum on another computer and be good to go?

Going to look into the paper wallet with bitaddress too, not needing to cash out anything now so might be a good option, thanks

Hi,

I have some btc with blockchain.info, after having done some research I can see a lot of people not suggesting I store anything with them if the purpose is storage rather than occasional spending etc. I'm not the most technical of people, I have backed up my wallet with them a while back, and would be grateful if someone with a bit more knowledge can answer some questions I have:

1) Do I need to backup my wallet again after some recent transactions, or is it just a one time thing and that stores all the details of my wallet?

2) The wallet backup is a aes.json file, not found any certain answer on this, but alot of posts on this forum are possibly suggesting I can't import this wallet to a hardware wallet for storage?

3) I'd like to occasionally spend what I have, would a a secure hardware storage option allow me to do this?

If anyone can recommend a reliable storage option which doesn't require much technical know how to setup I would appreciate it, I know blockchain.info offer a paper wallet, if this is kept secure could I move this wallet elsewhere to another provider if blockchain.info were to suddenly disappear, this is my main concern

Thanks in advance
