Even a seven years old kid will turn away from miner gate right now because it's the most crappy miner I've ever known, don't use that crap, if you like the miner because of its simplicity then there is a better one called Nicehash, it's as easy to use as minergate but waaayyyyy better .
Nicehash looks nice but it's a 2% fee which is VERY high. Also, you CANNOT mine ETH or XMR with NiceHash. So that choice is not a choice at all. I need an easy way to mine ETH and XMR. Well for your information I'm currently mining ETH on nicehash and I've been getting paid in BTC, I don't know where you get this details from but it's incorrect, do your own research and figure it out, ask others too I'm sure everyone knows about it You're GETTING BITCOIN. You cannot GET ETH from nicehash. What point is it to "mine eth" if you DO NOT get eth? None! |

I let it run overnight. GPU was at 500-600 h/s for rtx 2060 and cpu using 12 cores at 1300 h/s (1.22 kh/s).
I let it use PPLNS.
This morning I checked it out. It increased to .0001 monero. But both cpu and gpu were red "connection error". I realized I disabled my internet during the night, so that was my fault.
Today I tried to restart it because the app was frozen. After force quitting, I tried to turn it on, and GPU mining is stuck at 0.00. THen it times out and stops instead of retrying, and app freezes making me have to force quit again.
I even tried downloading the latest version from the website again in case they updated, and reininstalled it. Same problems.
EDIT: It's working again.
So, it's not a very good miner.
Problem is that it's very complicated to set up these miners, and I haven't found any easy setup.
I would like to mine ETH (Ethereum) and XMR (Monero). I need a simple guide to do it.
If they're going to say I have to use command prompt with no GUI, then I need them to tell me exactly what to type from start to finish. The "guides" simply say, "start it and get it running". Yeah, thanks a lot, HOW?!

I set up minergate and it uses my CPU and GPU simultaneously to mine Monero. Reviews online show that many people are concerned about not being able to withdraw. Their status monitor page shows that nothing is online to mine except Monero. Based on my research, seems legit. But, there's a chance of delays. The thing I liked is I got it set up and running right away easily, and while I continued researching I was already mining Monero. Their withdrawal limit is only after 0.05 Monero. So, it can take some time, a quick math (nothing concrete, just a really rough estimate) was like up to 30 days for one system, depends on what you have, in order to withdraw. I was wondering what the community thinks about this miner. I liked the GUI and login system and the ease of use. I don't have time frankly to learn it. I saw many other options via command line and miner pools, but I don't know who to choose and don't have time to research them all so having something up and running was nice. What do you think about MinerGate to mine Monero? Good? Bad? Run away? I wanted to mine ETH too but no such luck, and it would take time to learn how to set up the various miners available. |

win10 pro or enterprise and disable it all in the system by policy settings. There are like 10 different win10 privacy apps allowing to disable everything.
windows 10 is spyware. The whole os is spyware. Beware.

Okay 10 days hold ? I would never use such things the price would ofcourse fluctuate and then you would need to consider +/- this is not how trading works.
yes, 10 days hold with coinbase really sucks. But at least you can withdraw back to bank account after 1-2 days in my case, but only with the high transfer fees of 1.5%. But at least you can withdraw back to bank account after 1-2 days in my case, but only with the high transfer fees of 1.5%.
I believe you are mistaken. ACH withdrawal from Coinbase to your bank account is FREE in the U.S. You only pay a 1.5% fee if you are attempting an "instant transfer" to a credit or debit card. Perhaps your bank is charging you that 1.5%? If so, you should consider switching to a better bank. Wrong. I am transferring to attached bank account and the fee is over $100 to transfer to the bank account, which I divided by bitcoin value being transferred and it comes to 1.5%. |

Honestly there are people doing p2p in person !
Yes but p2p online is much higher risk. |

Coimbase is one of the best place where you can exchange Btc to Usd very easy and in very cheap. Tax is very small compared to another exchange.
Bitrex is good but i l will also suggest you binance exchange where fee are also low and you can easy withdraw to bank.
Coinbase is one of the most expensive exchanges. I'm pretty sure you work for Coinbase. |

Try biki exchange and other exchanges around there are lots of them which have no waiting time trading is instant and without hindrance. You are the first am hearing exchange having up to 10 day waiting time.
It's 9 days hold actually, but nearly/effectively 10 days. I have 6 days left now. The hold isn't for withdrawing to your bank account for the high 1.5% fee. It's only held for sending to another wallet or exchange. It confirmed in 1 day after asking for additional verification to withdraw back to my bank account with the second 1.5% fee (1.5% to add to coinbase from bank account too). https://i.imgur.com/p6EyCrK.jpg(In the screenshot, the "Learn More" link goes here.) |

There are pretty exchanges that does that for first depositors becasue of their potential to scam fellow members, but this is always the case of first timers. Have used an exchange that kept my funds for upto two week before i was able to get verified for trade with members, but among this, i wouldn't encourage anyone to get into such but to use the p2p for more easier way to transact. P2P is even a higher risk unless you know the person in real life. |

So it seems that in fact you can't charge back or cancel a Zelle payment - UNLESS the money is not already credited to the recipient’s bank account. If the money is completed the transfer, it can't be taken back.
Your statement is correct, in general we can say that Zelle's transactions are final but we are talking about the possibility of cancelling it and not reversing it. Read more about that here The cited User Service Agreement (paragraph 11) basically relieves Zelle and Bank of any liability from the payment. In other words, they don't have the responsibility to reverse payments in a fraud situation, but it doesn't say they can't.
Source --> https://money.stackexchange.com/questions/86920/can-a-zelle-bank-transfer-be-reversed-or-denied-after-credit-has-been-addedGenerally, if someone wants to do a transaction they should (DYOR) and start small quantities if they don't know how to use Zelle. @OP Add more exchange methods. How can someone "not know how to use" Zelle? You either have it with your bank or you don't, and if you don't know "how" to log into your bank click on the Zelle tab and enter an amount and someone's email, then you definitely should not be trading cryptocurrency (or even using a computer!) |

Would it be better to simply move out of the United States?
The user, I mean.
For the sake of using Bitfinex? I don't think so. Maybe if Trump had gotten reelected, I might advise otherwise, but that didn't happen (lol). Ultimately, as they grew and got under the thumb of the USD banksters (or simply showed their true colors as the case may be) they became useless to me.
I'm not sure if Coinbase is more under the thumb of the big banks or the government--it's hard to tell, but I know where you're coming from as far as they're concerned. But a lot of exchanges that aren't based in the US have a hard time operating there, and if they can actually do it they can't provide service to every state (like Binance). I don't know what laws are on the books regarding crypto at the state level, but there's got to be something going on there. And OP, I didn't know this particular fact about Bitfinex, never having used them but it's not surprising. We're not in the wild west days of crypto anymore. Or at least we're nearly past that phase. Really? You would leave the united states if someone who advocates freedom and the people is in power? But if someone illegally gets in who's a straight communist, then you're ok? Why don't you move to Venezuela? You will really like it there, it's even better than the US by your standards, since you love communism! But there is no more USA. The land of freedom is gone, and there is no more constitution. How about leave your politics OUT of this forum? Many people don't want to hear you regurgitate CNN. |

Probably would not meet up in person, too much risk of robbery from someone when I am talking about how much bitcoin I have purchased. I'll keep my online profiles separate from my in real life self.
I understand your concern, and given how big the world is, I suspect you aren't anywhere near Chicago anyhow. However, if safety is the only concern, I'd be happy to meet in the lobby of a police station? Or on the floor of a casino (They have pretty good security in those places)? Or anywhere else with really good security. Nice point, but police stations are also dangerous. Not from you, but from the police and criminals there. On the floor of a casino is an interesting idea. But no, you're nowhere near me, and also I don't have any casinos around. |

Coinbase is very safe and cheapest. Another good exchamge is Binance p2p
You don't have to buy an entire Bitcoin at $45k. You can buy $10, $100, $500 worth etc. Each Bitcoin is broken down into 100 million parts called Satoshis. (Just like one dollar is broken down into 100 cents).
Why are you posting things that are so wrong? Coinbase is one of the most expensive. |

Among all the factors that contributed to the recent BTC rally, the COVID-19 factor is the most prominent one in my opinion.
Honestly, BTC reaching $100k seems realistic considering the fact that the Corona effect has yet to subside and I don't think it will fully disappear by the end of this year due to new variants of the virus constantly emerging posing problems for the vaccines.
When BTC touches $100K sometime in the future, I think that 'Road to a Million Party' would be a great name since BTC would be 1/10th of the way to a million.
It may have been 10 years ago, and the predictions also could have been dramatically wrong. Just remember that at $1 per bitcoin, if it loses 50 cents on the value then that's a 50% loss. A million bitcoins would be a loss of $500,000 at that rate. Just because it happened, and took 10 years to do so, along with extreme government tyranny to cause it to happen, doesn't mean that it was a wise investment at the time. It equally could have been a terrible investment. |

I bought from Coinbase, but there is a 10 day hold on it, so it's stuck in there for that length. Considering that, I would not buy from coinbase again if there is a better option without such a long waiting period. Is there a faster and better way (besides P2P)?

Thought I'd chip in with my kraken feedback everyone knows I love kraken....
Good customer service but... when you need to use the platform the most it ALWAYS has serious downtime and you can not get in, happens every time there is a pump somewhere... It is beyond frustrating so much so I have moved to other exchanges. It's not good enough coming form a company who say they are the best around... I think it's ran on dial up.
Also be careful of how you use it, I bought a coin for MARKET VALUE 16.20 the other day, they charged me 16.50.... That shit adds up! They told me it was a spread to keep me safe.... Yeah ok..
I would use them as back up only if I was you.
Also AVOID COINBASE, their customer service is shocking... I waited 5 days for a reply, and they just sent an automated bot response... truly shocking.... still not got an answer here!!!!
You cannot imagine how much I can relate with everything you said. In the first occassion, Kraken, is constantly experiencing downtime which is infuriating when you're trading. The moment you press Buy/Sell, the damned thing crashes and times out. This is the main reason I withdrew all my money and moved to Bitstamp. Moreover, I didn't really fancy the layout/design, never had any issue with the support or the verification though. On the other side, Coinbase, has the slowest support I've ever seen. After some research, we found an account (With a completed Bitcoin deposit at some point) in my girlfriend's email (You never know someone well enough it seems, lol). She didn't remember the password, so we tried resetting it to no avail. The reset email wouldn't go through. We contacted their support, after a few hours we received an email, and you guess right, it was an automated response telling me to try resetting the password by the reset field. You don't say?! Like I didn't try that already. It also mentioned that if we're trying to recover the password via a non-authorized device, the email wouldn't go through. Okay, but I already told you that, why am I receiving an automated response for something I have already explained? It's almost a week and have received no response. Bitstamp requires SSN! What if they get hacked? I do not want my SSN anywhere! This is highly unlikely, all reputable exchanges ask for verification. It makes sense, you can't be buying cryptocurrency with a card if you haven't verified your ID. How do they know that this card is yours, they need to know your details, or they will get screwed if someone was planning to deal with stolen credit cards. Same goes for withdrawals and deposits to bank accounts. How would you know that those individuals won't share your information online at any time? They could be laughing about your face in your ID with their friends, just kidding. However, supposing that Bitstamp gets hacked, which as I said, is highly unlikely, the least I'd care would be my ID leaked. I think my balance is way more important. Moreover, I don't think that such info is easily obtained, even if it gets hacked. Bitstamp was the only one to ask for SSN. Others wanted privacy-invasion verifications, but not one so flagrant as to require SSN. Which they say they are "required to collect" - NOT TRUE in fact it's illegal to require to collect SSN for ANY service (even though US banks require SSN, the practice is actually illegal per US law. They just have too much power, so without suing them and finding a judge who isn't bought and paid for, then you won't win either, not to mention the bank would not make life easy for you if you put them through that. Utility providers often say they require it. But when you insist no you won't give it and talk to someone higher up until you find someone high enough, they admit, "no you don't need it we just input 0000" - it isn't without a hassle, but it is actually illegal to demand it for any public utility). NEVER!! give your SSN ANYWHERE. Except banks if you want to actually bank anywhere - but not because it is required, but because banks have too much power and it's a lot of hassle to sue a bank for breaking the law. Don't give it to doctors, apartments, utilities, no one. It's worth the hassle to protect your privacy. For doctors, just write N/A. For apartments, you might have no choice because they might not rent to you, and your alternative is to not rent there. Utilities, never give it to them, and be prepared for a fight, just keep asking for the higher ups, if they don't give it to you hang up and demand the next rep transfer to supervisor. May take a few times. You may have to pay a deposit. Worth it IMO. Snap, you're talking about SSN (Social Security Number) sorry, I was thinking of ID verification when you mentioned SSN, I am not familiar with foreign acronyms. However, I don't recall submitting anything rather than my driver's license on Bitstamp. Yes, Social Security Number. Bitstamp now requires it, which is absurd. I don't want to give them that. Combined with everything else they will want, they will have enough to 100% steal my identity and impersonate me, access bank accounts, credit history, everything. It's too much to give an online service, especially considering that many online services can and have been hacked. |

LocalBitcoins has no fees to buyers. But there are fees because the sellers charge big markups, not to mention a tremendous amount of verifications to send them. I'd be worried about identity theft more than getting ripped off on bitcoins.
What about Paxful?
With P2P marketplaces, LocalBitcoins or Paxful, buyers are not charged with fee but the sellers will be charged. As a buyer, when you open a trade, you have to agree with the offer given by the seller. Some details in offer you have to agree: rate, offer instructions, payment method and much more. After you open a trade, all offer details can not be changed. You only can get ripped off by scammers if you are careless or you eagerly to trade with new accounts. Binance is not possible for now. I have to get a new ID with my current address since I've moved since I got my ID. Stupid policy.
What do you meant? Why Binance is not possible for you? I see Binance is very soft with users. It said that in the description that my ID's address had to match my proof of address. Anyway I submitted it, but even in progress they said T2 takes several weeks. And to withdraw to US, you need Tier 3. I'm sure that will take even longer. In any case, I can't even expect to get an answer for at least a couple weeks. Not that I'm not trying. |

Are you present in the U.S.?
It appears you are accessing Bitfinex from the U.S.
Pursuant to our Terms of Service, if you are present in the U.S. or a Territory or Insular Possession of the U.S. or are U.S. Person, such as a U.S. citizen or resident, you may not create a Bitfinex account. USA people not allowed Good! That adds credibility in my opinion. I consider any service which even can operate in or interoperate with those who control the U.S. herd to be basically broken by default. If one does find some U.S. based or operative service who is getting away with providing results, plan on it being a pretty transient affair. For instance, Coinbase started out providing me with pretty decent service in their earlier days. Ultimately, as they grew and got under the thumb of the USD banksters (or simply showed their true colors as the case may be) they became useless to me. And I'm a completely non-criminal who paid all my taxes and didn't have a problem with KYC! Other services in other countries have demonstrated to follow the same pattern by the way. Relatively few countries have the political muscle to stand up to the enforcement frameworks controlled by those who use the BIS. My opinion is that if one is a U.S. citizen the only realistic option to maintain some modicum of service is the partner with someone who is not a U.S. citizen and avail of whatever secure communications channels one might be able to find. It's simply not worth the risk, cost, etc for most users. But then most users won't really be bothered by the crippling policies that US hampered institutions will throw up either. Would it be better to simply move out of the United States? The user, I mean. |
