A lot of threads on reddit regarding tickets and issues withdrawing/depositing,
seemingly no answers at all! Not good to see. Doubtful that you'll get much out of posting here tho, is there any other ways you can contact them?
You could try make a ticket on reddit just to see if it does make some staff check it  Lips sealed
682  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Good time to buy verge NOW?? on: June 01, 2018, 10:52:05 PM
I think Verge is a bit of a joke coin, and will, my opinion, be replaced at some point.
Strictly 'analytical', buying Verge at some point within the coming days could be good to catch the uptrend likely coming (based on the charts),
but long term, don't hold Verge!
683  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: TRON leaves Ethereum network! How this will affect prices of of both coins? on: June 01, 2018, 06:17:20 PM
TRON provides users with a completely free and reliable platform for the publication, storage and distribution of photos, audio, video and other data. The platform has open source code and uses the Ethereum network block.

What is the meaning of your post?

I don't see why TRON leaving Ethereum will do anything to the price at all.
TRON is a token which people buy with ETH, BTC or USDT - that's all, regardless of it being an ETH token or not.

EOS is leaving aswell, and will do nothing by itself -
but, due to the EOS team having lots of ETH to dump from the ICO, so that will drive the price down.

Tokens doesn't add value to the network itself apart from having to be transferred between wallets.
If all tokens were to leave for a better platform however, that's another question!

Generally you can consider the term 'priced in', when news are released people are already invested for upcoming releases, so it might just dump!  Cheesy

1) TRON transactions are ERC20 transactions, and you probably know that transaction fee - is ETH miners salary;

2) it's not about trading pairs on exchanges, but probably about millions of new TRX wallets which will appear on all exchanges that support TRON;

3) And of course tokens add value to the blockchain network:
- first of all with vast amount of new transactions;
- the second - trading much more actively with the blockchain pair;
just watch hundreds of ICO ERC20 tokens on exchanges, and see which pairs are more active BTC or ETH  Wink

4) In my opinion EOS is a shady project, so let's discuss it in another thread...


1) Indeed, but TRON token transfers are only between people which in the network as a whole is of very small volume compared with the rest of stuff going on I think.

2) with the pairs I only ment that people are just buying tron just as any of the other hundres/thousands of tokens, they're not used for much other than sitting in wallets.

I think you're missing my point, what I'm saying is kinda what you are saying in 3) except that it's not a 'vast amount' of new transactions, since the network is already used for so many transactions that it doesn't make much difference, because TRON is just sitting in people's wallet, or send to trade on an exchange, it's not used in contracts etc Tongue
684  Other / Off-topic / Split: Recovering 2FA data after factory reset on: June 01, 2018, 04:10:42 PM
Since the 2fa is for your safety and not comparable with, say, a private key, you can likely contact the support and provide passport picture+selfie or something like that.
It's only a matter of them ensuring your account's safety, so if you can prove that you're you, then they should be able to remove your 2fa.
685  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: KYC Is not for cryptocurrency users on: June 01, 2018, 02:23:12 AM
Obviously I am opposed to the implementation of the KYC. the biggest reason why people choose crypto money is the lack of centrality. With kyc application, this situation has no meaning

While I fully understand your point, and I am personally wary about giving out details and such,
I'm not sure what the issue is in the big perspective?

Exchanges demand KYC because of laws; there are other ways like buying p2p.
however, as OP mentioned: ICOs - but, they are also regulated by law,
but what does it matter if one participates and provides KYC?
You can simply stay away from ICOs if you don't like the KYC part,
or otherwise, just participate and then send your tokens/coins somewhere else and don't leave a trace, then it doesn't really matter?

I guess what I'm asking is what the issue with ICO KYC actually are.
Yes, we have to identify ourselves, and if we assume it's to a legitimate party, at one point or another, someone could find out that we invested in this ICO?
at that point tho, does it really matter if there's no trace of the crypto?

It's another discussion about crypto as a whole.
Sadly, currently it appears to be rather easy to identify a wallet and a user aslong as they've at some point gone through an exchange that demands KYC.
since the majority of people don't really bother with making their funds untraceable, it's kinda easier for illegitimate parties to find out a person's crypto value, compared with using a regular bank that is watched.

Not saying that I think people should break the law.
There's a saying which I guess applies in a way to this, something like if one has nothing to hide then it doesn't matter?
I disagree, surely it's very important to retain our privacy, even if we're not breaking the law.
686  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Airdrop hack myetherwallet? on: June 01, 2018, 02:14:17 AM
As said, there's no way any 'airdrop' can 'hack' 'myetherwallet' (alot of ' because it's not giving the full clue about what it is  Cool)

Anyone can send tokens/ETH to your wallet, with or without your consent.
You can't in any way possible lose your tokens/ETH by receiving tokens.
If you're filling in your private key in some suspicious site, then that's why you/people lose their stuff when joining an airdrop.
There is rarely reason to enter your private key anywhere.

MyEtherWallet is only an interface that makes it much easier to 'talk' with the Ethereum blockchain.
MyEtherWallet could be hacked in the terms of like a DNS hack that happened recently,
which I believe kinda redirects everyone who visits MyEtherWallet.com, to a fake site, that would then steal your private key.
MyEtherWallet could also be 'hacked' in terms of someone changing the code to save your key, I guess, why not?

So to summarize, you are just as safe using MyEtherWallet as you are using any other type of wallet which gives you the same access(private key access).
However, using MyEtherWallet and being an unexperienced internet user in terms of any safety aspect, is definitely more risky than using for example a Hardware Wallet,
or even an exchange with 2 factor authentication. I don't promote using exchanges at all, but it's safer as it kinda protects you against yourself.

MyEtherWallet gives you a Public Key, and a Private Key(maybe in form of an encrypted file, or another option).
Whenever you visit MyEtherWallet to login, you risk actually entering a phishing site.
Ensure that you always see the green lock icon in the top left, bookmark the url, and so on.

Your Private Key from MyEtherWallet however, isn't MyEtherWallet-specific, it's just a private key tied to a public key on the Ethereum blockchain.
You can use it in many other ways other than via MyEtherWallet.

Simply put, you can't lose your money unless you fail on your end, one way or another.

If it's out of gas you'll just get it back, however, where is it saying out of gas?
If you check on www.etherscan.io, paste in your public adress and you should see each transaction, if it's pending or if has gone through or cancelled.
Again, you can't lose your EOS unless you send it to the wrong adress and it goes through.
You can enter more than 90 000 if it doesn't go through.
689  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: MEMEBERS AND ABOVE RANK EXPERIENCE NEEDED on: May 31, 2018, 02:30:50 PM
You need 30+ activity to become a Jr. Member.
As a Jr. Member, you need 10 Merit to become a Member, then 100 to become a Full Member and so on.

You can at most get 14 activity points every 2 weeks, which means that once it resets, you should become a member!
690  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Whats with bitcoin and how to purchase and spend it? on: May 31, 2018, 11:39:42 AM
While you should read one of the 100 threads existing as an earlier poster mentioned,
I felt that it's important to mention WHY Bitcoin even exists in the first place.
it's a decentralized currency, no single entity in control, and that's revolutionizing and of great value to the world.
it's not just a number on your screen, if anything, your bank's money is just a number on a screen - since it's simply pulling data from a centralized database which the bank can edit freely.

With Bitcoin, if you receive 1 Bitcoin into your wallet, thousands or even tens of thousands of computers in this decentralized network, all confirm that your wallet holds 1 Bitcoin.
This is of great importance since it means that noone can steal your money, neither can anyone prevent you from using it and so on.
Aslong as the majority of nodes in the network confirm an action, it will be done, which means that more decentralized cryptocurrencies is 'safer'.
So unless someone holds 51% of the network power, it's impossible to steal your money, and even if someone temporarily held 51%, it could simply be corrected afterwards!
691  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Best Way to use Coinbase on: May 30, 2018, 11:00:08 PM
Sounds like it depends on where you are based, Gdax, as mentioned above, is a better option. I'm looking at buying, but my account is in the UK. Gdax seems to be the better option, but I need to transfer money through to their European account before I can purchase, and that can take up to 4 days. Just investigating another option now that a friend told me about earlier, so I'll be back.

Just something worth mentioning since it seems like we're only discussion Coinbase/Gdax here,
one can easily use any other exchange, depending on your trading volume you might not even need to do KYC, and it doesn't matter where one is located then.
One can simply buy their crypto from Coinbase, and send it over to any other exchange, just so new people know that!  Cheesy
Generally, any exchange handling fiat seem to require KYC right away/early, while those who doesn't handle fiat, only demands it if you reach a certain trading volume.

My personal favorite is huobi.pro. 0.2% fee and very low withdrawal fees!
They're also #3 on exchange volume(https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/).

Binance has 0.1% fee's which I guess is better for trading, but a lot higher withdrawal fees, so if you're looking to get some altcoin, better to use huobi, or some other one which is cheaper for withdrawals!

Both Binance and Huobi lists alot of various cryptos, according to cmc, Binance has 330 and Huobi 230.

GDax is #12 largest by volume and only lists the biggest coins.
although if you're only wanting to trade those and have easy access to withdrawals, then I guess it makes sense!

I only ment to add in some alternatives so people don't get stuck on coinbase.
If you want to purchase using bank card = coinbase is great, and instant, and KYC is instant aswell. I'm not sure how many other exchanges accept bank cards.
with bank transfer it's also very cheap, but slow - and if it works the same with them adding a a few $ on top, it might be better to find a fiat exchange where you can buy 'p2p', depends on your region which one.

by 'p2p' I mean where you atleast can see orders at various prices rather than having to buy for 103%(example figure) current market, not actually p2p!
I guess one also sells for 97% current market  Cool
692  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bounty Programs: How do you decide? on: May 30, 2018, 03:39:47 PM
Why limit yourself to one source("Twitter? Telegram?")?
You can simply join all various bounty programs, only signature, and sometimes telegram requiring profile picture/name, is limited.
It's up to you how much time you'll want to spend for bounties, surely alot of the projects suck, but you could atleast join their Telegram, no reason not to  Cheesy
When it comes to Twitter and Facebook and other social media bounties, they generally are the ones that take a bit of time, and also requires reporting it on time,
so it could easily get out of hand unless you're organized!

For finding what project to dedicate most of your resources to (signature and such), it's only a matter of researching the project, considering how much the bounty allocation is, and how much the signature program allocation is.
I wrote a guide about analysing ICOs which you might find helpful: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3752728

694  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Best Way to use Coinbase on: May 30, 2018, 10:49:43 AM
I think it's unwise to trade on Coinbase.com, maybe on gdax.com which is part of Coinbase I think?
Coinbase takes a noticable fee with every purchase and sell, and also the prices are a few %s above market,
so move to gdax(I never used it, not sure if it's a regular exchange), or any other 'p2p'(?) exchange, that way you'll only pay like 0.1% fee on each trade.
Coinbase is only to instantly buy or sell+withdraw crypto, they're really expensive in comparison to other exchanges!

Go into the search tab and then write your name as a keyword. Put it in quotes for more relevancy and sort it by most recent (or whatever you would like). Then set the age appropriately.

Addendum: remember that it will only fetch the most recent reply if you sort it this way. If you are looking for all quotes within a certain thread, you will have to look manually. All this does is tells you whenever there is a recent post containing your name but not how many recent posts there are.

Hmm, I'm getting really inconsistent results lately with this!
It seems like 1/3 of the time it's showing like 10 results at most,
1/3 of the time it's showing seemingly completely random stuff, such as this(image)

and then finally the last 1/3 it's actually showing me posts in which people has quoted me.
It's not changing no matter how many times I try to search, it seems to be like these results last for a specific duration?
If I try go search a few hours later it shows something else.

this is what I search for:
Search For: "BQ"
Search Order: Most recent topics first

at first I assumed the search engine was being modified or something, but this has been going on practically since I started searching.
anyone know what's happening?  Huh
696  Economy / Speculation / Re: The whole market is experiencing slump in last few days. on: May 27, 2018, 10:32:51 PM
I have read some ideas that it's the   future's market(?) fault, basically if alot of people bet on btc going Up, then those market controllers like Bitmex simply move the market Down to liquidate people.
something along those lines. considering a lot of volume is related only to people going through bitcoin for altcoins, it means there's not necessarily that much resistance when it comes to moving the market up or down.
it ruined the market!  Angry

This is the first time that I have heard of this. But if it is the case, and there clearly is a manipulation in the market, then there snall fishes (holders) can do nothing but wait until the game of market manipulation is over. I do agree with you thatbit is affecting the market in a very great deal.

I'm no expert, but I really believe this is ruining the market badly,
as you said, we can't do much except hold - I'm worried this is stopping many people from entering the market, due to the extra volatility..
basically, this is only for the big exchanges like Bitmex's short term gain. What's the expression, something like 'killing the golden goose'  Shocked
sadly. I mean, look at the past few 'drops' - relatively stable for hours or days, then all of a sudden it just drops hundreds of dollars in minutes. (or goes up).

I found some text here if you're more interested: reddit thread
Here's also a bot reporting when people get liquidated on Bitmex

In the long run, I'm sure Bitcoin and crypto in general is a great investment.
but, it's not fun for someone to buy and it loses value overnight, which basically has been the case for over a month..
sadly, it doesn't seem to be stopping either.

we'll see where this ends, wait until we find a floor before you start investing!
rather miss a few % of gain than to take a % of loss.
if you lose 10% you need 11.1% up before you break even!  Angry

Kinda surprising you managed to get 4 merit on those posts!
did you pay for them? Shocked
700  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to get merit? on: May 26, 2018, 10:12:22 AM
Other people give you merit.
Why would they give you merit?
Because you write something worth giving merit to!

If you receive 2 merit, you'd have 1 sMerit (sendable merit).
This sMerit doesn't add to your merit, so it's only useful to give to other people.
So, therefore there's no reason for people not to give it away.
However, people only give merit to posts they think are good, or any criteria they prefer.

If you write good and/or informative posts, you likely will receive some merit at some point.
Looking at your recent posts, you're just posting in bounty threads, and the occasional sentence in other threads.
Tell me, why would anyone give you merit for that?

I have 12 merit, which isn't alot, but I've gotten mine only in the past few weeks from making threads and participating in discussions.
So, no, you don't have to buy any merit! And it's against the rules.

There's not really any guidelines on how you earn merit, as far as I'm aware.
If another person finds your post worthy, he might send you some merit.
So, start contributing with genuine posts, participate in discussions, maybe create some interesting threads, and I'm sure you'd receive some merit.

Posting on page 300 in an Altcoin Discussion thread with one sentence saying something generic isn't going to earn you any merit.
Again, anyone who receives merit, also gets half that merit amount as sMerit, which they can then give to someone, and it has no other purpose other than giving it to other people.

Final note, posting solely to earn merit I don't think is a good way to go about it, it's pretty obvious when people post only to receive merit.
Instead, start engaging in bitcointalk! There's this huge forum discussing all aspects of Bitcoin and crypto, I'm sure you find some aspect interesting.
Then engage yourself in that area! There's sections for technical discussions, general discussions, economy, and much more. There's even sections for discussions not related to crypto at all(such as Politics & Society).
There's an endless count of very interesting threads discussing all types of topics.

My suggestion is that you discuss with other users!

So, stop chasing merit, start engaging and contributing to the forum! Once you stop looking, it might come  Cheesy
