It is mainly due to two things one is high fee they have for both deposit and withdraw as well as there is delay in this process of deposit/withdraw. Even though price looks lower than other exchanger you have to pay high fees so that price will be almost near market price.

Ok my prediction for last year was quite close to real price.  

I will expect price to swing between $3k and $2k through out 2017 so quite hard to predict exact price on end of 2017. I would like to predict anything near $2500 per bitcoin.

We are already near $1050 right now and its only 2nd day of january so i think we will see bitcoin price at $1200 by end of this january. However i can't say price will remain higher than $1200 after it touches that price range, because price is pumping really hard so a small price correction is quite predictable.

Most of the cloud mining sites are just hyip/scam/ponzi.

Don't invest in that ckminer they look shady no any picture of their mining farms and also their claimed ROI seems unrealistic with bitcoin mining.

Looks more like ponzi, running as just hyip.

No never invest a penny in them, and better not to invest in any other cloud mining programs.

There are no any legit/profitable cloud mining sites.

However if you have already got blockchain data that contain majority of past blocks records than to download few hundred/thousands block's data may not take much time.

I think you are talking about distributing blockchain database to your friends because there is no point in installing bitcoin core wallet in your multiple computers.

I have bought a new laptop on middle of this year when price per bitcoin was around $400 and i spend $800+ for that new laptop. However i already had one laptop working just fine, so i think that was my mistake to spend those $800 in one laptop, i should have bought 2BTC around with it so that i can now have both laptop and $800 sitting in my balance. 

Most of them are ponzi and there are lots of cloud mining sites before which were considered legit by many people but they scammed millions. Most of the cloud mining never have the amount of mining power they advertise they have and sell for high price which ultimately make them run in HYIP/Ponzi model.

I just hate cloud mining and don't understand why people are still thinking about investing in them and trusting them.

Sportsbet = they have high minimum bet size but they have big promotions and offers which are quite interesting
Cloudbet = it used to be good but i have lost trust in them
nitrogen = looks good
directbet = Instant deposit/withdraw (better to say you don't have to deposit/withdraw), reliable and have really nice odds

So i think directbet is good choice regarding what you want.

Obviously bitcoin gonna be mainstream currency and it will be good for bitcoin both in respect to its price and usability. Government surveillance can't be enough to track down or stop bitcoin transactions but this may limit the amount of bitcoin than can be exchanged in local bitcoin ATMs and local trading platform.

Lots of high expectation on bitcoin making it to surge more this days and i personally think it will easily cross $1000 per coin within few weeks of next year. One of the really interesting comment i have seen on that reddit post is

This guy should be rich by now with bitcoin if he is telling truth.

I use bitcoin to top up my mobile balance occasionally other than that there is no any store nearby me where i can spend bitcoin to buy something. However i have successfully withdrawn few bitcoin in my local atm using bitcoin debit card recently and i think that was first time when i have used my bitcoin directly to get some cash.

I am also thinking about using that bitcoin debit card to pay in nearby store through their POS machine as it accept visa cards. May be it will work..

It will be better to say demonetization rally was started by Indian government which indirectly trigger the bitcoin price pump within indian trading platform and slowly over other countries' local trading platform. But i don't think demonetization is the only reason behind this pump, i consider this as late halving effect.

I have also heard that you can also pay to amazon via ipayyou before and now starbucks. They are pretty new service but already got good achievement which may turn out good for both bitcoin and to them in future. The team behind ipayyou seems to have good business contact to crack this deals. 

Actually this also sound world will switch to blockchain based currency system which will be as centralized as fiat is right now with unlimitated supply and inflation. We just need to focus on using bitcoin in multiple sectors and should not be limited to gambling, porn and black market industry.

World need to switch to bitcoin not to bitcoin based currency system.

Yes they have sent me message regarding this, not only gambling they are saying they will lock card if you receive fund from paypal and skrill too.


And it seem this is due to updated KYC policy of wave crest limited (Card issuer). This may now affect all other debit card provider affiliated to wave crest.

Better you try sending your document again, please note that they don't accept document with non-latin characters (i think passport is good for this). Try to translate if you have document with non-latin characters before sending them.

Yes it seems both of this thread are connected and may be OP is same person for both thread. Hasheer is already a known scam ponzi and anyone can easily detect that they aren't operating any mining farm. May be owner of hasheer himself is trying to promote his obvious scam here with new accounts.

How they can offer this amount of free hash power? Don't you think this is just to lure new members and after 7 days you need to invest/buy some mining power (fake virtual mining power) to be able to earn more and withdraw that amount you have earned with that free GHS.


This is well known method used by many HYIP already and it is easy for anyone to find out this cloud mining is just another ponzi who are not mining in reality. Just selling virtual fake mining power and running in hyip business model.

Don't invest anything there and try to withdraw whatever you can withdraw immediately.

There are already few alternatives to faucetbox before this announcement and also few added after this announcement.
Some of their alternatives are;
- https://epay.info/
- https://faucetsystem.com/
- https://faucethub.io

However they have also stated that they will continue working on their famous faucet script and may come up again in business after few month with better business idea.

Yes it's always better to store ETH or Bitcoin to addresses which you control or have access to private key. This is because of mainly two reasons if exchanger goes offline you will loss access to your all ETH/BTC stored there and another one is in past several exchangers/trading platforms have been hacked and all crypto stored in their cold/hot wallet were stolen.

I think both jaxx and myetherwallet are good to use as both are open source so that you can check their whole source code also both of them are client side so nothing will be stored in their servers (as they claim).

If you like to generate ETH address in your computer you can check https://github.com/kvhnuke/etherwallet
Go through process described under Users (non-developers) to run myetherwallet.com code locally in your computer.

Actually polo also have daily limitation on withdrawals, for non-verified users it is limited to $2000 worth of withdrawal per day. But couldn't find limitation on trading amount.

Have heard about Alcurex but never used them and i don't think i will ever need to use them. Better to get verified on polo and do altcoin trading.
