Some reports also suggest that Honduras is another country that is preparing to adopt Bitcoin (BTC) as legal tender
The above links to this: “We must not allow El Salvador to be the only country escaping dollar hegemony,” said President Castro. “Honduras has the right to move towards the First World countries.”
I'm not really sure how credible this is especially when I couldn't find the news anywhere else, however, it appears that Max Keiser has tweeted about this 3 days ago: I'd like to hear your thoughts about this.

You're not really being scammed. I also contacted Exodus support and they confirmed that they are dealing with the exchange you mentioned. This is actually what all wallet providers with build-in exchanges do actually. They use APIs from third parties such as Changelly, ChangeNow, ShapeShift, SideShift, etc. It's as explained by the support, when you're using the exchange feature, you become subject to TOS of that third party provider: AML/KYC procedure might be applied in respect to those crypto assets payins, which are determined by our automated risk prevention system as suspicious. In these cases, Cripto InterCambio service will contact the User by email registered with account.
Obviously, though, there's no way to know for sure whether they actually detected something suspicious or they're just trying to selectively scam but I have to say, that the amount is pretty big, the transaction would've probably gotten flagged by any other service out there. Sadly, the only thing you can do at this point is to provide the details they're requesting you to (the proof of funds in this case). Although I do think that Exodus should put a warning for people about the possibility of this happening. I would also suggest you stop using this feature with such a large amount (regardless of the wallet used). If you don't want to go through the KYC process, use a more reputable CEX like OKX or KuCoin. At least that way, you're aware of your trading limits.

Thanks for the reply truly. I was freaking out prematurely making this post that wasn't needed.
You should've kept your first question, in case someone else faces the same problem. Anyway, to answer your other questions: 1. You should keep RBF enabled. This will allow you to increase the fees and also cancel your transaction (before it gets confirmed) if needed. 2. Output value rounding is a privacy feature. See this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5235897.msg54109661#msg541096613. It's always better to use the latest version. Here's Electrum's changelog: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES It's worth mentioning that some platforms (like Changelly IIRC) do not accept RBF transactions so it's better to pay enough fees from the start instead of bumping them.

There's nothing to install when using the portable version, you just run the downloaded executable.
Have you tried to check your anti-virus? maybe it got detected as false positive and removed?

I'm not sure which requirements you're referring to? The picture is not showing much. If you're referring to the selfie/video then that's basically what most of the exchanges ask nowadays.
Kucoin is probably the least strict exchange out there. At least from what I've seen.
I've seen a lot of people using the exchange (from unsupported countries) and when caught, Kucoin still allowed them to withdraw their funds. I also had an incident recently where I forgot my trading password and when they asked me to verify my identity in order to reset my password, I refused to. They eventually gave me back access to my account after I provided a few screenshots from my account. It's not guaranteed that it would work, but it's worth trying.
Aside from that, I would advise you to start using non-custodial wallets for storing your funds and P2P (non-KYC) platforms when dealing with fiat.

3 days i cant see my balance, and cant send bitcoin..... When i deleting my cookies and cashe of browser Firefox it only show per 1 second my balance then showing this message "Something went wrong. Please refresh." Here is picture -snip-
Have you tried to disable all your extensions (if you have any) and see if that works? Alternatively, you should be able to access your funds by: 1. Trying to use the mobile app instead of the website. 2. Recovering the wallet in Electrum using your seed

Wirex does require KYC yes. There is this service which you can check out[1]. I'm not sure if they launched yet though, I know that the site is up and running but I haven't tried them, so I can't really vouch for them. Also, and as I mentioned in that topic, I personally think that the cards are quite expensive... [1] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5388338.0

It's one of the tabs above your transactions: If it's not there, go to the menu "View" > "Show Console": If the command returns true it means that the address is inside that wallet you're currently using otherwise, it's not.
|

It's the invoice that can expire and not the address. Your funds should be there. Is your wallet synced with the servers? Can you see a green circle in the bottom of the app? Also, try to use the following command in the console and see whether it returns true or false: ismine("paste your receiving address here")
|

I'm not sure if the app you mentioned does that. AFAIK, It's more for tracking your portfolio and earnings.
Which wallet are you using? Electrum gives you the ability to add descriptions to your transactions.

Trezor just pushed a new update (change log[1]), and among the changes is full node support for Electrum server. It was possible to connect to your own node before, but only using Blockbook (Trezor's software). You just have to go to the Settings > Crypto > Select "Bitcoin" and then choose "Custom Electrum Server": I haven't tried this yet, but I would like to hear some feedback from anyone who did since this is still a beta feature.

You can use CoinMap for that. Here are the available services in New York[1]. Some services might have gift cards but not support bitcoin directly, so you can use Bitrefill[2] [1] https://coinmap.org/view/#/map/40.73506366/-73.94923210/14/attraction,cafe,food,grocery,lodging,nightlife,shopping,sports,transport,default[2] https://www.bitrefill.com/buy

I deposited funds to my Mellow Ads account in December 2021, it was about 90 dollars in BTC, when i tried to withdraw them though, and i confirmed my withdrawal through email, they said that the hot wallet was empty and that they couldn't initiate the withdrawal, and to try again later, Idk what hot wallet they were talking about, as in the withdrawal page, my funds were listed as "available to withdraw". I tried again the next day to withdraw, and still it didn't work, it still displayed the same message.
That's the thing, when using a custodial service, you're not given a wallet with its private keys. They just assigned an address to you, and the funds you see are just 1's and 0's in their database. The hot wallet they were referring to is theirs, the one that processes the customer's withdrawal requests. I don't want to lose my 90 dollars like that, the reason why i was gonna use mellow ads was to advertise my referral link for a binance airdrop that is happening this month, but then i decided not to do it and to just invest on binance's platform with these funds instead, but now i can't even withdraw them. Even today, i tried again just in case it might work today, still the same messasge.
Is Mellow Ads a scam? I saw many people recommend their site when it came to advertising, hence why i went with them. What should i do? I tried emailing them 3 times in january as well and they still haven't responded, which makes me think they're blatant scammers.
A service that allows "bitcoin generators" is definitely not to be trusted in my opinion: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5253358.0Also: - https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.mellowads.com- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2660174.0Sadly there's nothing much you can do at this point. Just keep trying to reach out to the support, maybe they'll eventually respond.

لا أدري ما اذا لاحظتم هذا أم لا، لكن رسوم الاثريوم في انخفاض منذ بضعة أيام الان.
في حال امتلاككم لبعض الرموز التي لم تستطيعو اخراجها أو بيعها بسبب الرسوم المرتفعة، الان وقت مناسب لفعل ذلك.

لم يسبق لي السماع بهذه المنصة من قبل لكن ما كنت لأستثمر لسببين: - الرابط الذي وضعته يستخدم ال API الخاص بهم، و يدل على أن المنصة عندها حجم تداول يقدر ب 175 ألف دولار فقط، أما في موقعهم، فهو يذكرون أن الحجم يبلغ 1.2 مليار يوميا - عملة المنصة سبق لها الصعود الى أعلى مستوياتها منذ عام تقريبا، و هي الان في نزول مستمر منذ ذلك التاريخ. أضف الى ذلك كثرة الرموز المتواجدة مع حجم التداول الصغير (الذي يجعلها عرضة لل pump-dump)
