Your password is most likely incorrect. They send you a email to authenticate a new login even if you insert an incorrect password.

Did you at least backup your wallet recovery phrase?

I know that when you try to logout they recommend you to do that to avoid any issues like forgeting your password.



Btw, why use Blockchain wallet? Download an offline wallet and you will never have this kind of problem again.

Bitcoin itself can be pretty anonymous.

But from the moment you gave your ID and address to an third party like Coinbase or Bitstamp, you are giving away part of this anonymity in exchange for the convenience of selling those coins for physical cash, that are controlled by your government. If you want to live only of Bitcoin, buying groceries and coffe with your digital wallet, you can. And you will be "anonymous" for that. But unfortunately, it's still not that easy.

This is the reason the thread posted by you is getting heavily spammed:

How on earth can someone be able to post 10 times a day in the same thread without spamming nonsenses? The guy managing this campaign is legit asking people to spam on the forum for cents.

So... you went from "I'm not a criminal. Why should I mix my coins?" in the front page, to "Bitcoin has no future with drug/weapon traffic or any other illegal activity." ?

I know that the overwhelming part of BitMixer users were only using the mixer because of ilegal activities, but still seems odd.

Why don't you sell it and donate the money to charity or do some other good with it? Seems a waste just to shut a profitable business you built up down.
Look on the bright side: he didn't exit scam his costumers. Props on you for doing something great to the community for so many years.

What's wrong with gmail? I believe they are the most trusted, secured and widely used email providers. You can go for Google's paid mail service if you are not happy with their free version which most people widely use. I bet you will like their paid service, where you can bind your  domain with gmail too.
Maybe because he wants privacy?

i dont see a point of hard fork, i was mining ethereum hard forked and i ended up with some etc as well as eth. i sat on that stuff forever and it hasnt been worth much. why have two coins if we all know one will fail. i say just stay will the original.
Because the comunity can split between two different ideas and do not reach an agreement that suits both of them.

The same is happening with Bitcoin. Some people just want bigger blocks, and others don't. This ends up dividing Bitcoin into two currencies with different implementations. One of them implementing the idea of the first group, and the other implementing the idea of the second group.

What hilariousetc said above ^
Someone already asked the same thing before and that's what I answered:

I can't barely even understand what does it seem supposed to "Select no more than 5 boards at a time". I'm having a hard time figuring out on this, it does hard to search on bitcoin's search engine. I can't find topics which I was lost to read, and now I wanted to read them again Sad They need to fix this soon out.
It's not that hard to understand. When you try to search on the front page, you are searching on all boards of the forum.

For example, try to open the "Economics" board and do a search there. You will only be searching on 2 boards (the board you are and their Child Boards)

I really like it you don't have to submit any I.D or register in their site,
The transaction is really anonymous and I think that is what the bitcoin user really adore or want about it.
To make every transaction hidden and I think chipmixer is doing it for us.
Not really the main reason on why ChipMixer is the best.

Why would a mixer require ID verification? The only reason people use mixers are to make their coins more anonymous, and this only would make everything less anonymous and facilitate the tracking of users.

Imagine sending your Bitcoins who are already somewhat anonymous by nature, and having their identity attached to those coins. Reverse mixing lol

14471  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Wallets with best fees on: July 23, 2017, 04:23:18 PM
Thanks. Why would coinbase close my account for doing so? Is it against their TOS to do so?
Regarding small amounts, I think we need to clarify what is small. So, I will probably send 4-5 XBT to this wallet in one transaction and maybe send out from wallet 20-30 smaller 0.2-0.4 XBT transactions every day. Would this be OK with coinbase?

If not, what is the best wallet recommended for optimizing the send out fees?
It doesn't have to be against their TOS.
This guy is saying that they can close your account if they want, and your Bitcoins will be lost because you don't have any control over them.

That's the reason number one on why you shouldn't use Coinbase or other web wallet. It's not worth and they can get hacked/closed anytime.

Spammers will tell you to use a web wallet, but you should download an offline wallet like Electrum and store your coins there. That's the only right option.
14472  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Poloniex verification my account is locked. Now found my coins have been stolen. on: July 23, 2017, 02:55:58 PM
I'm not here to defend Poloniex but just think a bit about what happened first.

First, how can you not know if you activated 2FA or not? First you said:
Quote
A week ago I accidentally activated 2fa on my account. My iPad ran out of charge and I had to start using my mobile phone.
p.s: can't you just charge your IPad?

And now this:
Quote
It must have been someone else who had activated 2fa on my account.

I believe that the step by step to activate the 2FA on your account is pretty self explanatory. You must click on the big "Enable 2FA" button and check the "I have backed up my 16-digit key" checkbox.

Now imagine if you really activated 2FA and someone sends a email to Poloniex pretending to be you and asking them to desactivate your 2FA. Would you be happy with them just disabling it and letting anyone log in immediately and withdraw your coins?
14473  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [Unofficial] Exodus Wallet | Multi-Currency | Built-in Exchange on: July 23, 2017, 01:41:57 PM
Did they mind to add signature feature? So i can sign my address.
Not anytime soon. For now, import your private key in another wallet and sign your message there.

when I download and install the wallet, it seems to go OK, but then when I try to find it, it is nowhere to be found. There is no shortcut created and it doesn't even show up in my programs. Why is this happening? Can anyone help me solve this issue?
If you are on Windows, press "Windows key + R", paste "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Exodus" and press Enter.

See if the folder exists. If not, try to install the wallet again.
14474  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: We Buy Bitcoin 2X the price (Paypal) on: July 23, 2017, 01:43:25 AM
Care to explain how can you offer to buy Bitcoin for double the price?

If looks like too good to be true = Scam or something ilegal. Give me a genuine reason on how on earth you can afford this and I will sell BTC for you. Otherwise, you will probably get a negative trust from a reputable member soon.
14475  Other / Meta / Re: Stake your Bitcoin address here on: July 23, 2017, 12:23:00 AM
I'm sorry. I didn't get your point. Just a newbie here.
That's not how a signed message works.

Looks like you only got the signed message template, and put your address there with a random message.
Not to mention that you can't sign a message with the type of address you put above (P2SH).

Please, take a time to read and understand a little bit about Bitcoin addresses and signature:

Careful there, buddy. Unless I've somehoe missed out a really crucial update to ChipMixer services, your comments sound really out of place. Investing, for example? Mining?
Ignore him. It's probably just a spammer.

He just posted his application on ChipMixer Signature Campaign and I bet that only posted this nonsense to follow the Rule 3 of the campaign.

3. You are required to have one post per week in the ChipMixer ANN thread, or else you may receive a partial payment.

Hopefully he will get denied by DarkStar soon.  Roll Eyes
14477  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: bitit.io - phishing link - Scam? on: July 22, 2017, 08:40:03 PM
-snip-
Hmm... Looks like an phising scam attempt. Could you check the shorted link?

You can see where the URL will lead you to doing any of the options bellow:

First option: https://goo.gl/#analytics/goo.gl/XXXXXX/all_time - change the X with the code after goo.gl
Second: put a "+" at the end of the link. Will lead you to the same url as the first option. e.g: goo.gl/XXXXXX+
Third: Use http://www.checkshorturl.com

Edit: Looks like the URL was disabled by Google for violating their Terms of Service. Probably because it was indeed a phising link.
14478  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Crossed $2,829 on: July 22, 2017, 06:17:44 PM
There is still be hard fork. So not get too optimistic
Do you mean the hard fork on August 1st? Now it's unlikely that this is going to happen.

If we successfully activate BIP91, we will be one step forward to the scalability fix without any issues and chain split.

14479  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Wallets with best fees on: July 22, 2017, 04:22:56 PM
Blockchain.info wallet can charge as low as ~600-1000 satoshi for the regular miners fee depending on how busy is the network during that time. Some bitcoin gambling websites like nitrogensports,fortunejack,sportsbet  doesn't charge you for fees when you withdraw. I agree with the other users here, it's not recommended to use these sites as your main wallet. Much better to go for a desktop wallet despite of the huge fees at least you control your coins.
Blockchain.info isn't "charging" this amount. They are suggesting them.
This means that you can use any SAFE wallet that allows you to customize fees and set this same fee per transaction.

Those gambling websites weren't made to be used as wallet. They are not only not recommended but also should be avoided. THEY ARE NOT WALLETS!
I wonder if people will ever stop suggesting those shit options that can lead to newbies losing their money.
14480  Economy / Speculation / Re: alphabay taken down how will effect price of bitcoin on: July 22, 2017, 03:30:52 PM
Hey guys just heard a few dark

AlphaBay was taken down on July 13, today 22, did it affect bitcoins price? If you were wondering if it would affect bitcoin price negatively, then no. The recent surge in price is because Segwit is locked in and would get activated soon, but if that wasn't the scenario, I think only a small percentage of bitcoin is circulated in darknet markets, not big enough to influence bitcoins price. Would have if it was 2013, not now neither in future.
It didn't. And neither with Hansa also taken down by the FBI a few days ago. Why would this make Bitcoin price go down anyway?

Even if the damage was big, people would just move to another market and keep selling/buying drugs with Bitcoin.
This market of drugs online is too big to people just let it go that easily.
