You can try Fidor but I doubt you will be able to open something there. With Any other UK bank as well, specially if you don't have any real UK address.
You can try Revolut, Sogexia and others, as they are giving a UK IBAN so it can be a solution for you perhaps. It's a pure online banking but if it's work for what you are planning, then why not...
You need to be approved by Payoneer before to be able to use their global payment service and it's not easy to be approved as you can guess.

You can add Cryptopia to your list, and I would give it A+++, some others that you can be interested in are HitBTC, Livecoin
If I have to choose 3 I would add in: Kraken, Cryptopia, BitStamp

Topics with title problems like "funding/withdraws locked in Kraken" If you follow up the story carefully and are yourself a member of Kraken, you will notice that the problem usually comes from people not reading enough Kraken FAQ, etc.

Bittrex D
Coinbase/GDAX C
Kraken A
QuadrigaQC No idea about this one sorry
CoinCorner No idea about this one sorry
Poloniex D
CanadianBitcoins No idea about this one sorry
BitFinex I have a mixed opinion about it
BitHumb No idea about this one sorry
BitStamp A
7503  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bit Coin is a Ponzi Scheme on: November 24, 2017, 10:31:17 PM
So, why to invent a system using cryptography, and create the blockchain technology just to run a Ponzi.... While you can, for example,  just run HYIP site within 1 hour and make more money with less effort.
Bernard Madoff used just a pen and paper and a few dinners at the restaurant and his Ponzi scheme was about million dollars.

The fact that some "super powers" use the dollar doesn't make it valuable
By the way, from what is backed the dollar? Ahhh, from the debt from US citizens and the FED printing money like the cash cows ?
7504  Economy / Economics / Re: China Busts a $3 Billion Underground Bank as It Tightens Its Grip on Money on: November 24, 2017, 09:23:01 PM
The article writer is a little hypocrite here. When it's about our own countries that's fine to do this but when it's about China it's not fine.
It's a common practice that is running for years and years under different schemes and improvement with time passing.

As the Ministry said, these banks are illegal but common in China. In other countries they use subdivision located in taxes paradises like Cayman, Man island, Aruba, Panama etc. but it is the same system used

If a Chinese really want to send his funds outside his country he can still f
do it without any underground bank, so setting z limit is going to help at all, other than developing another system

7507  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Bittrex scams $millions and the community is in denial phase! on: November 24, 2017, 12:03:23 PM
Calling a denial phase is a little wrong because:

People who are not members of Bittrex can't deny or accept something that they are not suffering from.
People who now have a problem with Bittrex don't deny the situation
People, members of Bittrex with their account working fine are thinking "I don't care, my account is fine and I am not concerned"

We can't say if the 0.1% of locked account is accurate or just exaggerating as we can't verify but reading complaints here and there can give a good idea (that it can happen to every account soon or later). And it's usually more easy to find complaints on the web about any company than praises and applause.

The pressure by authorities an be a real possible scenario, but not saying which is making the story more suspicious. But I don't why they would want to make an exit scam while the company is profitable to them.

7509  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Id Verification and Legit Sites on: November 24, 2017, 12:28:32 AM
Kraken.com can be used by Canadian citizens to buy bitcoins, and some other cryptos, with Wire Transfer Deposit.
You need to give your name, last name, phone, DOB, but you don't need to upload your ID card, utility bill, selfie etc
Unless you need to withdraw over $2,000 daily and $10,000 monthly in fiat and $5,000 daily -$50,000 monthly in crypto. There is no limit for deposits
7510  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How the Accounting works for fundraising through ICO? on: November 23, 2017, 11:40:27 PM
But your answer does not take in to account the utility of a token. You can purchase the product or use any of the service provided by the company by using the Token provided my the company. So in a way a Token sale can be counted as advance revenue for the company that it can recognize after the product is launched.

So money through a token sale can be classified as an operating activity and not a finance activity.

Hmmm It's difficult.
once the project is launched and operating, the token is not a token anymore. Like you say you can purchase the product/service using the tokens (you purchase some coins). But it is because the tokens have been converted into the altcoin

You lent money to the project and the project promise you to send it back in the form of tokens (crowdlending). Then you are supposed to cash out your initial investment and you're done. The fact that you speculate with the tokens is something else.
If you notice their websites never promise, you will make 120%-150% ROI and so on. At least I have never seen it so far

if the tokens can be used to purchase a product the tokens shall have a fixed value.
7511  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Edwardard] Manager of the bounty of Dmarket - scammers! on: November 23, 2017, 10:59:15 PM
There is zero sense in the accusation. On the web, people overuse the word scam. You can be called a scammer for nothing, like to not reply to an email after 10 minutes
Edward managed a campaign and paid each participant as he does every time, so I don't see where is the scam. It's not like if the participants weren't paid for something deserved.
Since he is not some kind of charity organization, I don't think he was giving money from his own pocket, so he has been funded by someone.
7512  Economy / Services / Re: twitter bad follower removal on: November 23, 2017, 08:19:00 PM
ManageFilter is free and you can remove the bots/spam, inactive, no profile pic, quiet, not following back. They do have a free version and paid version. With the free version, you could remove up to 800 followers (they changed recently and don't know what is the limit with a free membership now)
I think Socialfav is doing similar (not sure).
7513  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hide your bought coins from taxauthorities on: November 23, 2017, 08:01:01 PM
Hi,

What in your opinion is the best way to hide any buyings and/or sellings of coins for the tax authorities?
A lot of markets want you to identificeren yourself, so the tax authorities will know you bought it.

In the coinmarket, freedom of money is a basic right. How to prevent them to see/guess my total amount?

You forgot something. Taxes authorities don't care about spying your activities on crypto exchanges. Why should they waste their time on foreign websites operating in foreign countries while they can go directly to the banks?
It's how they find a lot of frauds. For example, in my country, receive above €5000 transactions monthly and your case is automatically sent to govt authorities for further verifications.

@kraken-protocol

Do you know what can be the reason(s) to have a crypto deposit "on hold"
I just noticed it today while looking at the history and the thing is:
- I don't remember about this deposit (it's just a small one)
- It doesn't look to be one sent to the old BTC address
- I don't know how it's possible to have a (crypto) deposit on hold while a member is verified Tier 2

Thank you.

7516  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How the Accounting works for fundraising through ICO? on: November 23, 2017, 06:09:07 PM
An ICO is not considered as a product, at least it shouldn't be. The confusion can come from people thinking that they are buying a product: the tokens (with the hope to make a good ROI from it). But in fact, the token can be considered just as crowdlending participation. People invest some money in a project and they are supposed to get it back with or without profit(s).
Considering this, crowdlending belongs to financing activity (in my opinion)
7517  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is satoshi?Can someone help me? on: November 23, 2017, 04:41:20 PM
Here is a simple explanation of it

https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/114/what-is-a-satoshi

Quote
A Satoshi is the smallest fraction of a Bitcoin that can currently be sent: 0.00000001 BTC, that is, a hundredth of a millionth BTC. In the future, however, the protocol may be updated to allow further subdivisions, should they be needed.

Further examples of units

1 BTC = 1,000 mBTC (millibitcoin)
1 BTC = 1,000,000 μBTC (microbitcoin)
1 BTC = 100,000,000 Satoshis
1 mBTC = 100,000 Satoshis
1 μBTC (microbitcoin) = 100 Satoshis

You can use Purse.io as an alternative to buy from Amazon. On top of that, you will be able to get a discount up to 15% (depending on how long you can wait to receive)
Once I used a virtual card to buy on Amazon and their system flagged me and I got suspended. They asked me some ridiculous things like asking to my bank to call them, history statement, etc. I told them why should I do that the VCC is not issued by my bank. All this for something costing 2 bucks.
7519  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it the truth bitcoin can drop to altcoin prices in this year? on: November 23, 2017, 12:52:13 AM
I want to invest in bitcoin but before i did this i want to hear u guys first.
Where did you get that news? Is that true or just a hoaks? I don't think that it can be happen this year, but if that is true, then why not try to wait until the price drops before you invest? The best time to buy is when bitcoin price drop.

It"s possible in theory but the chance that it happens is maybe 1% or less. In reality, the thing is different. Imagine we have the Bitcoin price falling to 1000$ how would react the altcoins? 99% of chance that it follows the same path.
The chances to see Bitcoin dropping this year to the price similar to the altcoin (average) is about 0.1% and I can't imagine the drama it would be.
