i don't know what's slowing them down. there are forks put together by nobodies that worked fine when they claimed they would from minute one.

the more ub puts out there the more confusing and rancid the whole project seems. jeff garzik seems determined to bury his rep in the crypto space for good.

you're gonna be in for a long wait. if these pricks want to become the greatest crypto ever they need to start delivering easily followed facts and go easy on the stuff that makes edward snowden cry.

so my electrum wallet is now showing a green tick next to the balance and it's no longer 'not verified'. however i still can't send anything out. i'm getting the missing inputs error.

has anyone else progressed any further with this?

you are indeed right. i misread your price as a 5d mk iv.

i went through the buying process. it doesn't even quote you a price in bitcoin or give a live invoice. it plops a bitcoin and ethereum address on the page and only leaves a dollar price.

how or who is gonna guess what the bitcoin price is? do you get an indivdual address so they know it's you? it says nothing.

on the basis of the sale process this is a definite avoid. even if it's not a scam, it's a shambles.

that's really not a suspiciously low price.

this is a terrible store but it is established and real and delivers real products. that's a couple of hundred bucks cheaper than the place in this thread.

i'm not talking the phone itself, i should've said sms based. there've been a bunch of publicised hacks where hackers took control away of people's sim cards by social engineering the phone companies to transfer the number to them. hey presto, instant 2fa access to their coinbase account or whatever.

how much is this sol creep paying you guys? he seems to be hero of an army of noob nobodies on here.

as for that rating, it should be a z. if bitfinex goes and takes tether with it it will cast a huge shadow over crypto this year but it'll ultimately be one of the best pieces of news possible. bitfinex is the last cowboy standing from the wild west days. it has to clean up its act or die for everything to move on and upwards.

it's a good idea in principle but the current version is seriously clunky. it needs to be on the same page and one click. i don't see why there have to be differing amounts either.

the actual amounts of merit required to rank up seem reasonable to me. it takes perhaps three and a half years to get to legendary and you need 750-1000 merits in addition to activity. that's gonna work out to be maybe one merit every 1.2 days.

for non idiot posters i don't think the time required to rank up will change all that much if at all. easy for me to say i know.

you have an interesting definition of stable. mostly boring and occasionally scary is a better description.

this is a dead time of year always and all of crypto just had the most incredible run. parties ain't meant to last. many exchanges are still closed to new users. google searches have cooled off big time.

consolidation after what just happened is the best case scenario. i'm not sure whether we're gonna get it.

no. it's really not hard. all of the information you need is out there. what happens is that most people are too damn lazy to put it into action. it sucks for them but almost all hacks can be avoided if you're careful.

hardware or paper wallet, offline computer, no phone based 2fa, 2fa everywhere, dedicated crypto machine if you do need to go online.

you can't avoid hacks on exchanges of course, but you should also be clever enough not to leave anything on there. that latest japanese hack looks like it was 100% down to their bad practices.

nope. not verified is still there after 24 hours. i can't send anything out or move anything. i get the missing inputs thing. i can't believe the person who put this piece of shit together was going to be bitcoin's overlord had the 2x fork happened.

"We confirm that the relationship with Friedman is dissolved.  Given the excruciatingly detailed procedures Friedman was undertaking for the relatively simple balance sheet of Tether, it became clear that an audit would be unattainable in a reasonable time frame. As Tether is the first company in the space to undergo this process and pursue this level of transparency, there is no precedent set to guide the process nor any benchmark against which to measure its success."

i know nothing about auditing but it don't sound too hard to me. look up some bank accounts and do some sums.

i wonder who dumped who.

i haven't really been following this any more. if it isn't a flat out honeypot i assume this is an epic screw up of some type. blocks were incredibly slow for a while but they seem to be moving now. if coins were arriving we'd hear about it.

this is the best place to keep an eye on.

edit - i downloaded ub electrum. i do have a ubtc balance on there. it's saying 'not verified'. i don't know what that means. i hope that doesn't mean i need to provide a blood sample before they mysteriously unlock them.

all i'm gonna say is - if this comes to pass this operation cannot afford to be typical crypto flakes.

this is gonna have to deliver big big big time or they'll be all the way up shit creek and then some.

if i were them i'd start off small. i wouldn't dream of an ico. too many expectations. too much to go wrong.

all of them. that's the point. they wouldn't add a coin unless you can restore from the same seed. that could easily mean you'd lose that coin.

the only tricky one i experienced is ethereum which doesn't quite work in the same way as other ones. i can't remember the details now but you have to take an extra step to restore them that you shouldn't have to with others.

of course. take the seed you generated on your trezor or ledger and you can enter it in the replacement to get your coins back. with the seed you're not restricted to just those devices, you can restore your coins in any wallet with a similar seed system which is most of the main ones.

your seed is everything so keep it very safe.

the same seed will also restore any altcoins you have on there too.

he's talking about the nature of the hardware and software, not how they work. both of them operate securely for customers but this question is all about the back end.

the ledger's chip and firmware is closed source. trezor's is not. both of them have open source apps.

no idea, but the fact is that coinbase and bitpay visa cards continue to work without any issues for americans. if wavecrest were flouting something they're not gonna publicise it. if visa allowed that flouting to continue as long as it did they won't either.

you don't have to be a coder to know. developers are open enough about how they implement things like this. stuff like dash private send is nothing more than official mixing. that's completely different to monero which is private through and through.

someone there made the myspace comparison. my god. that's the remit of 1 post assholes on here, not supposedly intelligent people. and good luck making it fit within existing regulations. the only area that'll work is where it meets fiat. beyond that it'll be proven hopeless time and again.
