Beware, it is a fully SCAM exchange.
I just did search for a new exchange with futures trading and tested this one. First - they lies about his trade volume. Actually the order book is empty, I can't trade.
But when I tried to withdraw my funds (over $100k) I got error "Withdraw forbidden". Later I received the letter that they block my funds due to "anti-money laundering risk". I checked my bitcoin account with AML bot - it is Low Risk. They asked me for documents from where I received my funds.

I'm in bitcoin from 2012 (registered here from 2013 as you can see), most of my bitcoins doesn't have "documents". Most of exchanges I used already doesn't exists. But my bitcoins are clean.

So they just stolen over $100k
Stay away!

[Sometime the best storage for your keys is your brain.]

I strongly do not recommend use brain wallet for most users!

All modern hardware and software cryptowallets are using BIP39 backup mnemonic phrases. But what if you can’t store this key in a safe place? What if you are living in the country where authorities may confiscate all your papers? For example on December 15,  2017 agents from the Ukrainian Security Service (SSU) confiscated approximately 305 ETH from Anatoly Kaplan, CEO of the Russian bitcoin news resource ForkLog. What if you are a refugee and could be subject to illegal rummage?

Sometime the best storage for your keys is your brain. But it is very difficult to remember 12 or 24 random words. That is why I developed Brain-to-BIP converter.

https://brain2bip.com/

Using this tool you may always restore access to your cryptocurrency with any BIP39 hardware or software wallets like Ledger, Trezor, Blockchain.info, Breadwallet, Multibit, Bitcoin Core, Jaxx, etc. Moreover the external entropy from your secret phrase is increasing security of your wallet.

Just enter your long strong secret phrase and “restore” wallet using generated BIP39 mnemonic.
Don't use short passphrases as well as popular sayings, parts of songs, poems or mantras! Use only strong passphrases you can't forget.

Enjoy and be safe.
Thank you.

[Ledger]

Большинство современных аппаратных и программных кошельков используют BIP39 мнемоник последовательность из 12 или 24 слов для восстановления кошелька. Вот что только, если у силовиков/бандитов в вашей стране есть возможность получить доступ к вашему бакапу? Что если вы, например, главный редактор ForkLog?

В некоторых случаях самое надежное хранилище для ваших криптоактивов - ваш собственный мозг. Но запомнить 12 или даже 24 случайных английских слова довольно трудно. Поэтому я разработал несложный конвертер, котрый превращает любую фразу в валидную последовательность для восстановления (создания) кошелька. Он подходит как для аппаратных кошельков вроде Ledger или Trezor, так и для программных типа Blockchain.info, Breadwallet, Multibit, Bitcoin Core, Jaxx и т.д.

Просто введите вашу секретную фразу и “восстановите” кошелек, используя сгенерированную мнемоник последовательность. Этот способ также повышает стойкость к взлому вашего кошелька, так как используется внешняя энтропия, основанная на вашей фразе.
Ни в коем случае не используйте короткие фразы, популярные высказывания, слова из песен или книг, мантры. Лучше всего, если это будет длинная частушка вашего собственного сочинения.

Также лучше загрузить сайт к себе на компьютер и использовать генератор без доступа к сети. Исходный код тут: https://armorybrainwallet.github.io/brain2bip/
Берегите себя и свои активы.

Using brain wallet is a very bad idea. You may forget passphrase, your short passphrase could be bruteforced, etc, etc.

[It is amazing!!!]

Hello,
I want to share my experience with XAPO debit card. I ordered EURO card 2-3 months ago, finally received.
What to say? It is amazing!!! It is exactly I looked for. It is a EUR card with current account in bitcoins.

- Zero fee on purchase! I have xapo account in BTC, when I do purchase they instantly convert required amount of bitcoins into euro. By good rate (it was higher, than kraken for example) with zero fee! No need to top up the card, I can spend all bitcoins I having on the xapo account.
- They took 2.5 euro for ATM withdraw
- You have to verify your identity to increase limits:

• ATM withdrawals (per transaction) increased from €200 to €1,000
• ATM withdrawals (per day) increased from €400 to €2,000
• Maximum charges (per day) increased from €2,500 to €10,000
• Purchase amount (per lifetime) increased from €2,500 to 'no limit'

- For the verification you have to send scan of your ID and proof of address where the card was delivered to. I've done in 2 days.
- Works fine in internet (PayPal).
- After receiving you have to activate card calling to UK number, enter your data and listen the PIN. No other way to find out the PIN! Afterwards your may change PIN in ATM with $0.50 fee.

In this way I have very high limit bitcoin card. The card has a chip and printed name of the owner. It is important, because local merchant refuse for example ANX card without a chip and name.
Furthermore xapo has fast and responsible support service.
Recommend!

Hi admins,
Is it possible to make additional sub-forum in Service Announcements for faucets and probably cloud hashing? I'm asking because it is too hard to find really good new btc projects due to faucets overspamming.
Thanks.

[Every candle corresponds to the fixed trade volume.]

Hi,
Analyzing bitcoin candle chart you may see, that sometimes the price fluctuates with a very small volumes. Finally these fluctuations doesn't affect to trend, but spoil the chart.
I have the idea. What if we draw candle chart depended of volume, not time? Every candle corresponds to the fixed trade volume.

I've made first preview https://zerobit.co/charts/chart.html?vol=5000 (you may select volume).
What do you think? Is it a promising idea?

Один из лучших биткоин кошельков Armory предоставляет возможность полного восстановления кошелька в случае утери контроля над компьютером. Для этого вы должны распечатать и хранить Root Key (paper backup). Мне лично не нравится, что ключ хранится на бумаге, которую могут украсть, конфисковать, которая может быть потеряна или подсмотрена. А запомнить Root Key не представляется возможным.

Поэтому я разработал


Теперь вы можете создать Root Key на основе собственной секретной фразы. И в случае чего восстановить все свои биткойн-адреса на любом компьютере.
Это javascript приложение, которое выполняется в браузере, данные не покидают ваш компьютер. Введите вашу секретную фразу и восстановите (или создайте новый) кошелек на основе полученного Root Key.

И конечно же вы можете создать fragmented backup, распечатать Root Key и пользоваться Armory как обычно. Но дополнительно в случае чего вы всегда сможете восстановить свой кошелек по паролю. Используйте длинные фразы, лучше если это будет частушка собственного сочинения.

Надеюсь проект будет вам полезным. Он полностью open-source, в качестве исходного ключа используется hash256(passphrase), Root Key генерируется по алгоритму из исходных кодов Armory.

Вы можете скачать проект для запуска на своем компьютере локально.

Hi all!
I like armory a lot. You can make a paper backup and restore whole your wallet in case of hdd failure or pc lost.
It is a great feature, but I really do not trust to paper. The paper could be stolen, lost, confiscated, burned, etc. I want to be sure I can restore my wallet at any time, even if all my papers are lost. I mean brainwallet. The one phrase restoring all my bitcoin addresses.

So I created an open source



Just enter a passphrase and you'll get a Root Key to restore (or create new one) wallet.
It is a client-side javascript application, no data leaves your computer. I use hash256(passphrase) as a base to generate Root Key. The Root Key generation procedure (makeSixteenBytesEasy()) was rewritten to javascript using original Armory code.

You still can make fragmented backup, print root key if you like and use all armory's features. But additionally you can restore your wallet using your passphrase! And we use your password's entropy to create wallet, I think it is not so bad too. Just use long several-words phrases.

Hello, just want to warn others about user zolace
I've been scammed for $250, I didn't receive my money back as he claim here (he closed the topic, so I can't reply and explain). Just don't deal with this person.
SCAMMER!

Update.
People say I can't open such topics without a proof. Ok, the evidence here:
This is my PMs inbox: http://youtu.be/pwr0uWMpK-k
This is txid I've paid:  https://blockchain.info/tx/549183998e8f53afe7e894f1a11c6732e4589798754aba49b9103c6ea598000b

You can see I got bitcoin address at 12:12:31
The transaction was registered in bitcoin network at 12:35:03
At 12:47:11 zolace said it was 'wrong' address.

He doesn't response to my PMs, he closed topic where he offers cards (he posted message that I received back my coins, but erased later).
If this is not enough, I can give access to my PMs to administrator.

Hello,
I found some correlations in bitcoin price growing in April and now. Just see scaled comparison I made (green line - current price):



So what max. price we are expecting now? The April falling was provoked by DDOS attack to mtgox. Now we have more independent exchangers, more people involved in trade etc. Waiting for hot week!
