That is really interesting. But there is one question. I can generate a private key offline. But how is working reserving a bitcoin adress? Needn't we to be online for that?
Not sure if I should waste my time answering you since you seem to be one of those guys who just jump from post to post making random pointless questions. I don't even think you are coming back to read my answer; but anyway... A paper wallet is just a private key that has the right to spend the coins received by its respective address. You don't need access to the internet while generating a private key because the software already knows that this private keys belongs to X address. When this address receives some Bitcoin, its transaction will be kept registered in the Blockchain, proving that you indeed has those coins, and allowing a "spent" transaction to be made by you in the future.

It already has been said already that this is fake news. "Okcoin and Huobi PRs said they haven't received such notices and are still in operation as of now" https://twitter.com/luluyilun/status/906163511658557440"BTCChina Exchange is operating normally, and has not received any new directives from Chinese regulators. We'll keep you updated. #bitcoin" https://twitter.com/YourBTCC/status/906181802548539393The price is way cheaper because of the panic sell that this news caused in the chinese market - which was probably the reason behind the rumor. I guess someone got richier today.

Thank god! I actually started only using Mycelium to watch by balances, and have been using only Electrum to send transactions because of the custom fees support. But I must admit that the new slider looks awesome with all the pre-created fees options and the estimated time for confirmation for each one of them. Now, they just need to remove this crappy ICO advertisement and I will have no more complains.

Which exchange are you using exactly? This doesn't seems right.
A real situation would be, for example:
You want to trade 0.05 BTC to 500 XCOIN. If the market requires you to pay a 0.1% fee for each trade, you will spend 0.05 BTC and receive 499.5 XCOIN (the initial 500 less the 0.1% fee, which is equal to 0.5)

I assume that you really imported your private key right? Because if you used the sweep function, your coins would have been sent to your Blockchain.info address, which would explain the random transaction that you don't remember doing.
If that's the case, you should be running a malware scan to make sure your PC isn't infected. Btw, even if it that's not your fault, it has nothing to do with Bitcoin's security. Bitcoin is safe, third parties may not be.

The cheaper way would be by using an exchange just like you are doing now. There is really no difference on when to sell besides seeing the price at the moment - that may vary. So, you could sell once a week and get lucky to do that when the price is higher, or sell once a day, when the price is down.
If I was only mining for the profit - and not to hold the coin in the long term -, I would sell them asap, since price is most of the time also influenced by the mining difficulty.

Hey. Nice website that you got there. But I have a quick question.
You said that your service is fully anonymous and that it does not require any private information, but even when buying a digital product that does not require any personal information, you still need to submit your First/Last name, Full Address and Phone Number. Is this really required?
It would be great if there was an option to specify that the product you want to buy doesn't require this kind of information.

Hi i had bitcoins on armory before the split and now sent to different wallet can i use the armory wallet addresses which are now empty to import to electrum cash and still get the bitcoin cash thanks
I'm not familiar with Armory, but I did some research to try to help you. 1. Select your wallet and go to "Backup this wallet". 2. Click on "See Other Backup Options" -> select "Export Key Lists" -> click on "Export Key Lists". 3. A new dialog will show up. Select only "Private key (Plain Base58)" and "Omit spaces in key data". Now, download Electron Cash[1] and do the following to import your private keys: 1. In the "new wallet" wizard select "Standard wallet" -> "Use public or private keys" 2. Enter the private keys you took from Armory into the textbox. 3. See if the Balance will update with the amount of BCH you have. [1] https://www.electroncash.org/

Hi,
I have an question, and hopefully can someone help me? I want to buy Some goods with BTC. the btc are Before... 1 august I have not yet, split the BTC and the BCC.... on my ethereum wallet.
When i Sell the BTC, do i also sell the BCC rights .... Or can i still awoke them even when the Btc coins are gone?
Thx !
GMopper
If you had BTC before the fork, you got the same amount in BCC. They are now different coins, which means that you either spend your BTC or BCC. You may have both BTC and BCC in the same address which contained BTC before the fork (if you didn't move any of them afterwards). If that's the case, you will have to import your address in a wallet that supports Bitcoin Cash - i.e Electron Cash - to be able to spend them, and use a regular BTC address to spend your Bitcoins.

Why even use try to use this shady website? Their domain was registered 8 days ago, I have never seen this website anywhere, and they doesn't inspire any confidence at all. When you are messing with money, you should always use a well-known website that it's proven to be legit - like those that can be found on the BitcoinCash.org website, and not try to use a random website.
I am almost sure that your coins are gone. If you still want a real web wallet that supports BCH, use bcc-wallet.btc.com next time.

Thank you. I just read posted links and now I understand it.
I didn't understand how is to possible not to generate same address.
Information, that it is actually possible, but highly unlikely, explains it all to me.
It's not impossible. But it's also extremely unlikely to happen.
The odds in colliding with a specific address is 1 in 2^160. If there are a billion users and each have one million active addresses (1 quadrillion funded addresses in the blockchain) the odds in colliding with any address would be roughly 1 in 2^110 (1*10^33). Vanitygen can produce 20 million keypairs per second. Lets say you build a super ASIC on 12nm (4 generations ahead of current tech) process that could create, validate, and steal one trillion keypairs per second (1 TK/s). That would be about 50,000x more powerful than faster GPU today. Lets also say you built a thousand of them and ran them continually with no downtime 24/7/365. In 1 year you could brute force 3*10^28 possible addresses. If there are 1 quadrillion funded addresses you would still have a ~1% chance of colliding with a random funded address in the next 1,000 years.

+1 for GreenAddress. They started allowing you to use Segwit addresses by default yesterday, which means that your fees may be cut on half, and you will be helping the Segwit adoption by using it on all your transactions.
2FA is also a plus.

You still have to pay the network fees to send transactions. Nowdays the fees are considerably higher than before, but still kinda ok. The reak problem is that some services - i.e Coinbase - are overpaying and paying more than they should. The only "solution" is buying your Bitcoin, and sending them to a wallet that allows you to customize fees - i.e Electrum - instead of using Coinbase for all your transactions.

You should be using a wallet that allows you to customize your fees. Fees are based on the network load and are required for every transaction, so I woulnd't say that there is any wallet that "charges the lesser fees", since those fees are not paid to the wallet provider. For a web wallet, I would use Blockchain, since they do allow you to customize fees. See which fees are recommended at the moment of your transaction to avoid paying too much without needing. https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-txhttps://bitcoinfees.21.co/

Taken from their FAQ[1]: Circulating Supply is the best approximation of the number of coins that are circulating in the market and in the general public's hands. Total Supply is the total amount of coins in existence right now (minus any coins that have been verifiably burned). Max Supply the best approximation of the maximum amount of coins that will ever exist in the lifetime of the cryptocurrency.
Why does the supply number sometimes appear grayed out? - A grayed out supply number indicates that the data source for the supply has gone stale for at least seven days and might not be up to date.
Technical informations are manually inserted with every coin they add. And other informations related to price are gathered from several exchanges APIs. [1] https://coinmarketcap.com/faq/

How do you accelerate a transaction? Is there a tool for doing that or is it just adding an extra fee to re-broadcast the same transaction?
there are several ways to accelerate,most of them are using a service to include your transaction into a block,there are free tools like https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/and paid ones like http://pushtxbtc.com/you can ask members of this forum who provide similar services,for a fee or ask for help and post your pending tx and hope some kind soul accelerates it for free FYI you are suggesting to OP a fake transaction accelerator. Make some research before spreading fake websites. The website above was a phising version of the BTC.com accelerator. They had the same page, with the sabe FAQ and texts, but after sending money to accelerate, nothing would happen. Now, the scammer seems to realize that anyone could see that it was a scam and made the link redirect to a new domain and made a different website layout. The real accelerator is pushtx.btc.com; The fake one is pushtxbtc.com (all together without any dot before BTC.com;
