I was taking a look at https://asic-antminer.com and was wondering if anyone has had any dealings with them. I'm looking to buy an S9. Thanks in advance. Take a look in service duscission. Look at how many times such a question have been asked for different sites and you should get your answer in most of the threads that people have posted a reply to. There is just way too many of these fake sites out there man. Just take a look at their site, does it look particularly legit for you? They have a chinese address as well, so how are you going to file a lawsuit against them in case something goes wrong with your purchase?. Purchase from a reputable reseller or official seller, do not purchase from some site that you found on the internet randomly by seraching. It's good that you're asking though, otherwise you could be getting scammed in the thousands. |

As the price of Bitcoin soars a new all time high of $17,000 Many Financial experts have Cautioned about Investing in Bitcoin, Stating BITCOIN could be a bubble up to blast.
Please Guide me what should I do?
Why would you feel safer investing now than investing when the price was $13k or even $17k? It doesn't make sense to me. Right now it only means that you have more risk of making no profit and less profit even if you do make money. But yeah, there is definitely still an opportunity for investing, as i've said, bitcoin always performs better after the initial breakout pump, then things go absolutely berserk. this does not make bitcoin safe to invest in by any means, you're still losing out on lots of profit if you bought in the smart money phase. I STRONGLY recommend you take on a smaller position just in case and also dump when the right situation arises like a full blown mania. |

ARE WE GONNA BE SEEING BITCOIN @ $20,000 A PIECE BEFORE 2017 ENDS???
We'll definitely hit it, considering how strongly bitcoin has performed. $20k is literally like $500 away and that is only a 4% rise or so. Already hit on Korean exchanges i think but Bitfinex still lagging behind a little at $19k. Big question is can the price be sustained at a level over $20,000 when the year ends. I think it will, since we have not experienced the big pump yet. Big pump usually comes when bitcoin breaches a resistance and then price just absolutely skyrockets from there. I expect $23k once $20k is broken within a week. |

Antpool, it's free but you need to wait until they mine a block and even then it might not confir your transaction because of the sheer amount of backlog they have on their acceleration system right now. Still worth a shot though. Link: https://www.antpool.com/user/prioritiseTransaction.htm?m=savePrioritiseTxOf course Viabtc has that limit, it's annoying and it's hard to race ahead of people who are just camping there with bunches of TXID to submit. If you are willing to pay for acceleration and your transaction has high value then try btc.com or btcspeedy. The latter i'm not sure whether it works or not, but btc.com definitely works. Do NOT use confirmtx, they are confirm scam. |

I cracked open a super old multibit wallet and sent some BTC to Coinbase recently and the transaction has been pending for 5 days. Didn't realize the old wallet sent with a such low fee (0.0001 BTC) until after I clicked send, so sort of stuck now. Coinbase keeps rebroadcasting the transaction as well, so I'm not sure how long it'll take until it is forgotten and I can try to send again. Are there any transaction accelerators that actually work and aren't a scam? I know people always mention https://viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/, but it seems to never have any slots available. The transaction ID is b58f6cc67d9fe1122f75c38c3c818b9b76f3a8ea1afa4f0f866d6335f8b0fa56. Any ideas are appreciated! ViaBTC accelerator usually fills up really quickly which means that you have to be quick to get in. Every single hour the transaction count resets, so you should be able to submit your transaction when that happens which shouldn't be a long wait. ViaBTC has been aroud for the longest, so i'd say that they are probably the most reliable. Next is probably antpool but since there is no limit on accelerated transactions, your priority will still be quite low even if you accelerate it. Confirmtx.com is a confirmed scam, their admin has not refunded anyone since the start of this month so they've basically scammed hundreds of dollars off innocent people, for their own gains as well. |

Hey guys.
Newbie to the forum here... :3
I've been wanting to invest in Bitcoin since the 3k$ mark. But I just haven't had the time, yes I know it was a big mistake waiting...
But I have about 4000$ to invest into Bitcoin (It's currently sitting with shares, will take a few days to pull out), I was wondering is it too late to invest it? Will it still grow? Will we see a big drop/crash soon?
My shares barely profit, if I make a few $$,$$$'s from Bitcoin, I would be more than happy since it would be doing better than my shares my advisor put me on.
I'm happy with Bitcoin, alt coins are too unstable for me in my opinion, and they have a much higher risk than Bitcoin.
Is it too late to invest?
TBH, you're a tad late. But right now the rally isnn't over yet and if you enter now there is absolutely no reason that bitcoin can't go to $30k or more by the end of next year. But it definitely won't be as big as this year imo. You just need to be super careful as at this point in time, the price is quite fragile and you need to time your exit right. Bitcoin can go down, it just hasn't gone down for like half a year now in any major fashion. Anyone telling you to blindly invest is stupid. But i do believe that there is still money to be made. |

Im just wondering. Bitcoin is so expensive. What if dollar value get low will it affect bitcoin value?
For sure. Since bitcoin is a store of value for the long run, and is pretty much exactly the opposite of what fiat dollars represent, there should be a spike in bitcoin prices if the fiat dollar collapses. However, the actual spending value of 1 bitcoin should remain pretty constant throughout the hyperinflationary episode if there was ever to be one in the next few years. IMO bitcoin is one of the only viable replacements for fiat currency. A fiat collapse would actually mean that people are forced into accepting bitcoin as a result, otherwise, they'd be holding onto worthless pieces of paper. |

Bitcoin will continue an average growth of 1% per day until the world runs out of money or china reopens exchanges and a massive dump occurs. The equation is:
starting value x (1.01)^(# of days in the future)
That is very weird logic combined with little maths. What has China's exchanges to do with the long term, IMO the closing of China's exchanges already did its affect on the price and I think that was it, why would it still affect the price unless they are to open back suddenly. Yeah definitely makes no sense whatsoever. Bitcoin isn't going to just going to continue climbing exponentially at 1% compound interest, bitcoin isn't a ponzi and you can't guarantee the returns that bitcoin will make on your investment. The bubble could pop by the end of 2018 and we could be back to 4 figures, even. Things are unpredictable. Don't try to predict something in 1+ years that you don't know for certain with weird thinking and logic. It won't work. Using your logic, 1 BTC would be worth trillions in just a few decades. |

It started in penies and now is 17k. That's a return of much more then 50.000 times. To come to 1 million USD it need only 50 times of that what we is the value right now.  True, but you have to realise that once something goes mainstream the growth curve tend to slow down. The most growth comes between the mainstream and the early investor phases and i think that is around now personally speaking. So whether $1 million is even possible, i don't know. It could happen as a result of inflation. As a matter of fact 1 bitcoin would be worth trillions of zim dollars if they were still around and something could happen to the usd that has a similar effect. We don't know. If it does happen i predict in the next 10 years, that's as specific as i can get. |

This and also there is one on the bts platform as well. Both of these should fit OP's needs pretty well i think and as long as he is comfortable with people holding his funds and doing whatever they want with it, then i see no problems with crypto20 or bittwenty on bts. If you're really going to invest in cryptos, why not actually hold your balance yourself, in a private key, and have the peace of mind? Use a multicoin wallet like coinomi or exodus if you really needed to. At least you're not handing control over your funds directly over to a third party that you don't even know exists or not. |

Hey Guys, I wanted to raise the topic of how some large and established crypto news sites have been promoting an "Investment Scheme" called bitz.biz. It does not take a great deal of effort to see that this has all the hallmarks of a complete Ponzi scheme. https://www.coinbureau.com/review/bitcy-biz-latest-ponzi-scheme-target-bitcoin-users/They use fake profiles, photoshopped the address of a Mui Mui clothing store in London as their "headquarters", offer unrealistic returns and operate on a MLM type marketing scheme. I am sure that most people on these forums were able to see through this but those new to the crypto space may think its a legitimate investment proposal. It is also unfortunate that some of the sites where it has advertised have referral links which means that they are probably part of the pyramid in the scheme. Either that or Bitcy.biz gave them a handsome sponsorship fee. Interested in your thoughts... The link that you gave actually redirects to a site called mojocoin so i'm assuming that you've written it wrong and the actual site is bitcy.biz. In that case, it is an obvious scam. You don't even need to look twice, you see investment plans and you're already aware that it is ponzi. Now, my personal belief is that any site shouldn't knowingly promote a ponzi. Take coinmarketcap for example, their #1 advertiser seems tobe bitconnect, which is a ponzi. They also advertise HYIP programs on the side. I've seen other news sites advertise these ponzi schemes even though they say ads are not endorsed by us, blah blah blah. They don't understand that they're dealing with vulnerable newbies here, and they could easily get sucked into something that they don't know about. |

BE CAREFUL!!!SCAM!!!
https://bittaddress.org/ with double tt and fake https certificate by Global sign is a SCAM!!!
This kit generates scam public key!Try to generate 100 adresses in bulk wallet and you will see that the list shows same address with already stolen somebodys bitcoins!
Also if you generate keys by brainwallet with pass words you will get scam address each time you press button!
BE AWARE!PRIVATE KEYS EVEN DOES NOT MATCH YOUR ADDRESS! I would suggest removing the phishing link from your OP so that nobody clicks it. You can separate the . and the "com" with a space in between so that it doesn't become automatically clickable. People could potentially get scammed by accidentally clicking on it and having it saved in their history. Pretty straightforward phishing site, nothing special here. Just remember that the legit site is called bitaddress.org, or you could download the source code from github to run it offline or download their site to run it offline. Use the actual open source one, and you won't get scammed. |

Over the past days I have found cryptocurrency exchange Spectrocoin ( https://spectrocoin.com ) to have the worst customer support ever. I had some transaction issue with my XEM account. You have to wait in queues for longer than 2+ hours to get your number for chatting with support agent. I have repeatedly talked to the customer support for like 5 times and have 3 tickets generated for the purpose, I have been assured alot that my transacted amount will be sent to my wallet but no use. A thousand thumbs down.  This is what I got after using the exchange for last 3 months. If i remember correctly they also have currently negative trust on their account on forum for scamming one of their customers selectively that had a big balance. So no, by no means should they be trusted with your funds in my opinion. You can view the accusation against them here: https://archive.is/QUAucAnyways, regarding the issue with their support, it's actually common these days with exchanges. Most exchanges do not have a good support system going on but rather have like 2 people doing support 8 hours a day with thousands of messages. It's a long wait to get any sort of response, i hate it myself when that happens too. |

Hi, Just wanted to ask if anyway has used www.antminers9.com.au yet? They sound a little dodgey. Thanks in Advance.  Nope. Nobody that is legit will have a numerical number in their domain name, it's just not something that legit people do. The only reason why they have that is that they probably ran out of phishing domains to register so they were forced to do that. AFAIK there are no official resellers/distributors of antminers in australia. So clearly, if you were to use them you woudl get scammed, big time. Do not trust them a single bit, and thanks for warning others to do the same. |

I'm looking at Bitcoin charts for the past few days and it looks like a straight flat line. I'm not sure whether to feel happy or sad about this but could this possibly be related to the fact that we now have bitcoin futures? Does this mean bitcoin volatility will be less?
It's not going to stay this stable for long. Right now the price goes without saying is extremely stable for the past week or so, mainly floating around $16-17k. So not really a lot there for the traders for the past week, mostly sideways movement and when a pump comes it is suppressed by a dump, and vice versa. I think this will change. Especially after the new year, this stability will cease and we'll probably go on another huge run to at least $25k or potentially even more. Then it'll be up to the market to decide whether they want to dump or keep this rally going. |

So, I know that the fees of a “normal” exchange would probably be best, however on occasion I may want to use one of them because of the speed/simplicity (and because they are both built into the Coinomi mobile wallet).
According to changelly.com they charge a 0.5% fee and shapeshift.io charges only the miner fee. However, A) are there any hidden fees that I should be aware of (like several transaction fees or an inaccurate exchange rate), and B) have you ever run into any trouble using them?
Okay, first you need to know that shapeshift charges high mining fees, higher than average. For BTC it is currently around $50 worth of mining fees if you want your payout to be in the form of bitcoins, that is a bit lower for altcoins right now. Changelly has got some accusations against it, i wouldn't really use them. They basically take your btc and use it on an exchange, and you should be able to do the same thing without the 0.5%. You're still going to wait for the confirmations so it doesn't really help. Shapeshift is different, it has lower limits but i think is a lot reliable. I'd steer clear of changelly and use shapeshift, but still keep in mind that shapeshift may give you wores than market rates and cahrge high mining fees. |

Explain me this fees is for what. I am also using localbitcoins more than 2.5 years. Now recently they have added the deposit for the every input transaction on depositing the bitcoins to it. I see bitcoin deposit fees as 0.00061 BTC for every deposit for the transaction. I think you mean here about the transaction fee inside the lbc wallets. Am I right bro? If there is fee as network for traders alone, that too explain me. The fees that he listed is actually for outgoing network fees, which means that if you want to withdraw money from your localbitcoins account to conduct an onchain transaction then you will be expected to be deducting this amount from your withdrawal. The incoming fee seems to be extremely costly right now, actually more than $10(0.0006+ BTC). i think that to make this fair perhaps they should make the outgoing and incoming fees even. I get that they want to prevent small inputs from being sent to them, but this isn't balanced. The incoming deposits are paying way too much. |

Hi all,
yesterday I did 2 fast LTC withdraws for arbitraging reasons. Unfortunately things are gone bad:
for my big surprise, the withdrawals resulted to be completed with such of a TxID, but that txid on the block explorers was not found.
Money is arrived to the other hand, but only the amount of the first of 2 transactions, and only 8 hours later. i am still awaiting something like 8LTC (that's huge)
My question is, how is it technically possible to issue a transaction with a correct TxID (this morning the txid provided yesterday, was correctly found on explorers) but this is not available on the chain for hours or days? I am 18 hours delay now, for the second transaction. What can I do?
I think I'll leave Poloniex.
They could have signed the message in their wallet but not broadcast it to the network. In that case the txid that they provided you are going to be the txid once they send that particular transaction, but they just haven't pushed it onto the network just yet. What can you do? Probably email their support if that makes you feel better, but honestly i do not feel like it's going to help this situation since they'll probably not get back to you with a response(at least a timely one). Since there are already LTC in your wallet, i'm sure that they will probably send the second one sooner or later though. |

hello tnx for your answer, i got this message: Address not seen on the network (the address where i send the money) I send my LTC from my wex.nz wallet, but it was withdrawed Transactions history:
#199087857 -0.2994 LTC Withdrawal LTC to address LPBWKP2KbbszBuxFLJfpgh3s2JF8G3pjoU
how it's possible to get this ltc withdrawed, but the address doesn't exists? is there any solution to get back this ltc? regards It seems like that there were not any transactions sent to the address that you gave us. This means that it's not litebit's fault but rather whichever company that withdrew your bitcoin's fault, aka wex.nz. You should talk to them about why they haven't processed your withdrawal to this date, and they should get back to you with an explanation. There is no way that litebit.eu is going to be able to credit your account with LTC when there are no transactions incoming. |

With all the money flowing in from blind investors and all these sudden massive increase in only a few days, are some a few scared it will crash?
I'm not saying go to 1,000$ but crash back to 10k?
And I know no one can predict anything... I'm simply asking for opinions...
Crash back to $10k could be possible although i don't think it's going to happen right now or in the near future. Only going to happen when the bubble is fully done and tehre are 100% no more rallies coming up will the price retrace back to $10k. It's quite difficult when that will happen or the magnitude of it. This could be going on for years for all we know, but it is not sustainable. Right now people aren't actually scared that it'll crash, they're too focused on the profits ahead to be scared, meaning that price will most likely go up in the near future still. |
