Sure but since you want to avoid the fee to send from your web wallet to Ledger, @OmegaStarScream is just giving you an alternative for the fees.
Otherwise, of course, it can be sent from blockchain.info to your Ledger "in the normal way"

You can cancel an order at any time with all decent exchange. In your member area, search for "orders", "trade history" or something similar. Then you will find your current order and you should see a X or "delete" then, you order will be cancelled and your coins available again to trade.

The withdraws are working fine for both fiat and coins. Sometimes there is a message saying something like "withdraw feature disabled" but you need to refresh the page (sometimes multiple times)

The same happened to me several times where the orders are sent multiple times (and closed so losing some bucks)

Happy new year guys !

You don't understand, like others here, when it's time to compare Bitcoin VS Gold.
People investing in gold don't care about making a profit, they are not looking for it. They invest in gold because they want to secure their funds, most gold buyers do it for this purpose and nothing more. Usually, they have others investments split here and there to make little profits.
It works like this since years and nations do the same.

Gold failed from $50,000 to $40,000 in 5 years, no idea how you did lose money with it.

I know a little these companies, too bad you didn't use more filters to target a more significant audience

10 milliards d'euros c'est tres facile à traité et depuis longtemps. Les virements c'est ce qu'il y a de plus facile à suivre. C'est pas trop le nombre de milliard d'euros qui rend la tache difficile mais le volume de donnés. Paypal, par exemple, est tres tres fort la dessus, c'est d'ailleurs pour ca qu'ils ont créer leur propre algorythme pour tracer des paiements Quelqu'un avait posté un lien youtube d'un cours de science-po à ce sujet, et c'est vraiment impressionnant, pour ca d'ailleurs que certaines états l'utilisent. Et c'est pas une theorie de complot à la Alex Jones...
Y a 10 ans Paypal avait plus de 120 milliards de $ en transaction... par an....

Même les commercants ont 6 mois pour s'équiper d'un truc pour pouvoir analyser/tracer leur paiements (surement les paiements en CB) C'est déjà en place en Belgique et 2-3 pays en europe. Pour ce qui est des paiements en liquide, je te l'accorde, soit. Mais si tu regardes un peu plus en arriere on est quand même de plus en plus tourné vers une société "cashless". D'ailleurs en France, on est l'un des champions des paiements par carte bancaire. Un autre exemple est la limite légale pour effectuer un paiement en especes qui a été réduit, on peut aussi s'imaginer le voir réduire dans un avenir proche

Quand à la protection des donnés perso. ben au nom de la lutte contre la fraude et le financement des terroristes ben ca ne vaut plus grand chose.


Bonne année quand meme à tous  

With Kraken the verification is instant (at least tier 1 & 2) once you enter your personal information your account is automatically updated. This how it worked for me, but the process may have changed since.

Have you tried Bitstamp? Because I have a friend who has been verified in 24 hours. (it was about 2 weeks ago).

Usually, exchanges don't accept a bank transfer in the name of someone else. It must be with the same name as the user account. User abcd must be sending a bank transfer from a bank account owned by abcd.
I don't think GDAX is an exception. In such case, they reject the transfer and so it goes back to the sender

I haven't heard about a problem like this one. Do you know how that comes exactly about this money missing? Have you carefully checked your history page and/or the withdraws page to see what happened?

Waiting 17 days is not acceptable. There is a topic about Kraken here you should try to post about your problem to speed up the process. There are 2 or 3 Kraken's representatives in, so you can get their attention

Udemy was selling a lot of courses for $12 today. it was a promo expiring in 6 hours. And I saw a lot of them covering the Bitcoin and Blockchain topics. I wanted to purchase 3-4 courses but I wanted to finish something first and at the end, I finished sleeping on the sofa and missed the promo

I have been referred this afternoon to Binance after reading a lot of good feedback here and there. As Binance the new flower of crypto exchanges growing at an amazing rate, etc....

The site looks good with an interesting UI, I have not used so far because:
I have been told that we need to set up 2fa to be able to withdraw. While I understand you are taking security user seriously, it would be nice if you don't force users to have 2fa enabled. A simple warning can be enough, if something happens it's the responsibility of the user.
2FA something I hate, and SMS?  Will I receive a SMS each time? Holy! I am going to receive more SMS from Binance than ladies...

I will add the 2fa SMS but it's really because I am planning to be active in, but again it could be great if we are not forced to use 2fa.
It's not a complaint but just a suggestion

From what I see the value in EUR has a negative balance. I see the "-" symbol. And in amount, I see 0.00 (not 0.00000176 but no matter, I think that the amount is so small that it's not displayed)

I am not sure how the negative balance comes here
2.24 € is 0,0001795 currently)

Ben pour l'instant la Belgique ne taxe pas, l'Allemagne ne taxe pas si tu hold tes coins depuis 1 an. En Slovenie c'est pas taxé sauf le mining et la vente de produits. Grece, Bulgarie, Italie Pays Bas n'ont pas de taxes non plus je crois. Apres les autres pays (en Europe du moins) ca depend, certains le considerent comme un asset et pas une currency et d autres n'ont pas encore donner leur avis sur une taxe possible, mais ils ont publié des warnings a tout va sur les cryptos.

De toute maniere en Europe ca va etre quasi mort tot ou tard Crypto-crackdown: EU agrees new rules to curb bitcoin anonymity


Avec tout les echanges de donnés a travers l' Europe entre les pays, les impots qui maintenant utilisent le big data pour la fraude (qui va etre surement généralisé d'ici peu...) on va avoir de moins en moins de liberté en Europe....



en dessous de 500€

Bitstamp and Kraken are the only exchanges I would recommend. Considering you are all good with verifications there is no problem to sell and withdraw such amount. Of course, don't do all in 1 shot, do it during several days, better safe than nothing.
Coinbase is not so good as people like to say, and Gemini I don't know so I can't comment on it


There is no use for a company or the average Joe to sell 150BTC on a marketplace like localbitcoin. it's a crazy thing to do. No one will ever buy 150BTC and with all scammers there it's just a stupid idea. We are talking about over 20 million dollars, not a $10 banknote.

You will need to report as another income only when you sell your coins. As long as you hold you have nothing to report. When you decide to sell the coins, on the next report for your annual taxes you will consider the sale using the US dollar (the price you sold)

Things are going to change after the next G20, as cryptos will be one of the topics in the next meeting and from what I saw it won't be in favor of Bitcoin and other cryptos.

If you think Europe can't regulate Bitcoin then you are somehow wrong. Every European citizen know how banks are so good to trace, regulate, automate, exchange information and so on... When you receive a bank transfer from an exchange, don't worry the automated system knows perfectly what you're doing

Nah... it's just this author. For a long time now Forbes is covering the Bitcoin topic with some really great articles by authors with a lot of knowledge such as  Roger Aitken and Laura Shin see here https://www.forbes.com/search/?q=bitcoin#2977265f279f

The author in the OP is just a jealous dude and has the interest to talk bad about Bitcoin ( i think it's his only article about BTC)

You're supposed to report once a year the same way you report your annual income but:
For European citizens, it varies from country to country. For example, you pay zero tax in Belgium, in Germany zero tax if you were holding your coins since at least 1 year, France is planning to racket up to 60%


The problem for most European countries is that they are not sure what status to give to Bitcoin and so how to tax it (or not). They are still lost and not sure. For example, in my country, they don't want to consider Bitcoin as a currency and a payment method (surely because if they do they won't be able to steal our profits: see how vicious is it?) And when you give a call, they don't even know what is a cryptocurrency

It becomes a real problem in Europe because most countries are not clear about this, and the ones with no tax may change their mind at any time (like it happens right now for others)

And you know, since it's Europe they like to see all countries with the same laws, quotas, and so on...

I am not aware that the fees between Coinbase and GDAX are free, I am surprised if it's the case.

You may find the Coinbase fees high, specially since it's a fixed fee (and not related to the BTC network) but I think they decided this to avoid complaints from users asking "why it takes so long times to receive my bitcoins?" While they have nothing to do if the users used a very low fee to send

Coinbase and GDAX can be from the same company, it doesn't mean they manage the wallets and transactions the same way and it's the reason for such difference

Don't be so in hurry. Be happy that they decided to help you to get the coins back. Most exchanges don't do it or only if the value is at least $5,000 (i.e. Bittrex)
It also takes some time to operate something like this, and it's not something that has a high priority. To be honest, waiting 20 hours is a decent delay in such case.
