7461  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Looking for a company based in Europe that deals with blockchain technology on: November 30, 2017, 06:20:44 PM
Erasmus still exists?  Shocked What you're looking is not easy to find, as Europe started a little late to jump on the blockchain train. I am not sure if they are old enough to be included by Erasmus but check Stratumn (France), Paymeabit (Italy?), nexussquared (not sure if it's a company in Europe)
Good luck with your goal.

They'll just be struggling under the weight of all the traffic brought in by the rapid price increase. Can you imagine how many new users are desperately trying to buy coins and older ones selling them as fast as they can? Bitcoin has been all over the media the past couple of days and these exchanges just struggle to keep running in hectic times.

Yes but it's still not acceptable, especially when it happens quite frequently.
They are supposed to be proactive and not to just watching the chaos and to wait if the problem will be fixed alone. I know it's more than buying a couple of servers but sometimes it makes us think that they just don't care about it or don't know how to resolve.

Imagine your bank website going down every month because most of the customers received their salary the same day.

I think that none of these exchanges is not actually ready for such a large increase in the number of users(Coinbase say 33 000 new accounts is open every day)and it has been shown at this time when most of them go down.

Was that reason only a huge number of users who were in panic after price start to go down or it's a synchronized attack maybe?We all see that there is big DDoS attack on bitcointalk yesterday and it is happening very often lately.

Exchanges should work constantly to prevent such problems,do they just not care or do not know how,the question remains.

@Lucius

It could be, and congrats to them for filling their members base, (of potential accounts to suspend later without giving a reason lol, hello coinbase)

The problem is that they perfectly know their customer's numbers are increasing, it's not something 1-month-old, so why not anticipate? The problem is not some DDOS, they have all resources needed to avoid this problem and if not it may be good for them to review their web security or close the shop.

With kraken and coinbase, each time there is a quick and big price increase/decrease you can be sure the sites are overloaded with people in hurry to buy and sell their coins, turning their website offline.

How ridiculous is it to know this but not improving your site? It's an old problem with kraken and coinbase like I said; to tell you i remember about articles suspecting them of price manipulation while it happens
7463  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Buying about $250,000 in bitcoin with legal credit cards. Please help on: November 30, 2017, 09:20:00 AM
- Visa or Mastercard have a limit weekly/monthly for purchases so it can take a very long time, if not years, to buy $100k

- You can take a look at Bitpanda, Cex.io, Paymium, Localbitcoin

- So far I haven't seen a bank refusing a purchase of bitcoins with a card

- People use Purse for two reasons at least:
            - you don't need to have your ID verified and to send your ID card, selfie, bills utility etc (KYC/AML).
            - You pay a higher rate from 1% to 20% but other websites have also a higher rate (from 5% to 15-20%) since they need to include the
              Visa fees

- Hardware wallets, paper wallet, anything with private keys is good. It means no web-based wallet.
- 6. No idea what is MMJ so sorry

- The Bitcoin market is a lot volatile daily but for the long term, it is greatly performing.

- Usually, you buy gold for securing your funds for 10-15 years, not really to make a profit from it. (at least it's not really the first reason)Buying
  gold with a loan is ridiculous to be honest

If I spy you while you walk on the street every day, or at home, at work, in your bathroom and so on, you won't be happy, so why to accept someone doing it online to abuse your privacy. I don't want to be tracked without asking me using share buttons from social networks

It's working fine now but there are still some people facing the error message 504 bad gateway. I am not surprised anymore with crypto exchanges, no matter which one https://twitter.com/GeminiDotCom/status/935962689888591872
Go to Kraken and Coinbase, you will see what is horrible héhé. See this good example of what I mean https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2485639.0

I heard that someone on GDAX accidentally sold +100 BTC for 87€ each. Jesus Christ! It's about $1000 for 100 BTC. In another word, the guy is not a millionaire anymore. Can it be a reason?
That sounds fake. Most exchanges will sell at the current lowest price even if you set it much lower.

Yeah maybe, but there are exchanges that let you sell at whatever rate you want. Similar happened this summer in June with GDAX and the ETH/USD pair, with a sale of millions $ of ETH with a difference of ~30%. Then over 800 stop loss orders were here. ETH value failed up to s0.10 for some seconds.

It happened to me years back. I don't remember how much but it was just some cents. I have never been able to understand correctly but it was a method to beg money. This stuff didn't work for long as it's stopped quickly.
Or maybe someone dreaming to spam the network

This say, we have seen Bitcoin losing about 30% in less than 24h before, so now losing 10% is peanut, especially when it will be back tomorrow
7473  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Switch to anonymous cryptocurrency due to govenment trying to gain control on: November 29, 2017, 04:42:08 PM
You can already notice that the demand for anonymous cryptos is increasing but it's just the beginning. You can be sure the demand will be bigger in a near future. People are looking for more and more privacy, each having their own reason. These altcoins are offering what Bitcoin doesn't have. The potential for them is quite big compared to the average altcoins.

I don't know this website but reading the content quickly I think you can do it yourself if you know what/how to do. It's better to learn yourself this kind of things. It's not so much difficult, it's not like if you were running a company operating in the USA, located in Panama with funds invested in the Virgin Islands lol...

The sad part is they are not interested in Bitcoin/Cryptos. They just repeat what others say before, they don't even understand what they repeat. You can test yourself. During 2-3 days post in the forum that Bitcoin price will be over $25k on Sunday because of the new fork BitcoinPussy. They will start to spread the information in each section of the forum that a new fork BitcoinPussy is coming...
They have no interest in cryptocurrencies. They even collect coins from airdrops then don't even know what to do with, how to exchange, etc.

7477  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Crypto currency VISA / MasterCard ? on: November 29, 2017, 12:44:25 AM
You basically send your coins to the website and you get credited in your balance and then transfer the money to your card ( in your member area) Pretty easy to use. When you never used before it can be confusing but it's easy as 1.2.3. Then you can use the card with any merchant accepting VISA/Mastercard network.

Some of these services that you can take a look at are Cryptopay, BitPay, Xapo, CoinBank. Wagecan, Wirex, Bonpay, Bitwala, Spectrocoin, there are a few others as well. But if you're from outside Europe then you may have a little problem. Most of them don't accept any more (since August) customers outside Europe (Wagecan may be the only one, and perhaps BitPay)
7478  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Big 5 Canadian Banks Will Not Accept Cryptocurrency on: November 29, 2017, 12:17:10 AM
Hey everyone,

I was speaking to a branch manager today from one of the top 5 Canadian banks. They were saying that there is now a directive going across all the banks that if anyone deposits money that comes from Cryptocurrency that their accounts will be frozen.

I wanted to ask you guys, especially the ones who have been into Cryptocurrency for years. Have you guys heard this issue before?

I look forward to your response.

Thank you,

BitTechNewbie

Yeah, it happens in multiple countries and not only for deposits received from cryptocurrencies companies but for sending money to crypto businesses (usually exchanges sites) as well. Here in my country, it happened with Kraken when several banks stopped to send any funds to them unless you sign a paper explaining you understand the risk of fraud. (They were blocking payments telling there is a high risk of fraud lol)

Your banks may have been brainwashed by the bank of Canada

I think this question is interesting, I am not concerned but had this same question in my mind before. I see this case differently:
Fiats are also used for money laundering, Muslims use it daily still. However, Trading is allowed but not making interests.
So the one using crypto as it is, a currency, for buying (so trading) the daily needs etc it's fine. The one using it as an investment, it's haram like it can be with stock market

7480  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin vs. Gold Prices on: November 28, 2017, 10:31:45 PM
Gold is better for most "securing savers" but the reasons are not only to be safe from governments and central banks. it's also to secure the funds against the currency losing value.

See this chart https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1xM3 and notice the difference between Clinton economy and the Bush Jr debt disaster.( I am not a US citizens so can be wrong but Clinton made the US economy far better to what it used to be before, he helped a lot.)
See after 2001 (Bush) a long 15 years growing period for gold while the US debt started to become a nightmare (oh it was already but Bush just helped to be sure lol)

No matter if the countries are from West or East, the national debt has a worldwide citizenship lol. A financial reset is totally possible
