This is my first post regarding to the transactions of bitcoin.
So, how long will I wait for my money to come into my wallet? It's been week already and I am so d@mn bad waiting for all my transactions to come. Because this is my first time to have a delay transaction, I have 3 transactions to wait for. I am freaking out on how can I make this fast. That is not that big amount but I need it now badly. What will be my solution guys?
There are some sites, I just forgot the link. This site allows you to push your transaction so that the confirmation would take shorter time. However, it can only process 500 tx id. per hour. It's worth it if you'll search it otherwise just wait as it will surely gets confirmed. the site's name was ViaBTC which is a miner website and it does process 100 transactions per hour and you have to be lucky to be able to get in. and only 2 of the 3 transactions are eligible and that is only if for example the transaction is not spending a series of unconfirmed transactions! to OP: since you don't want to share your TXID which is understandable then you need to read this topic to see what you can do.: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1802212.0

I am pro bitcoin fan since 2013. Recently I became a little worried.
1. Can one compare Satoshi Nakamoto to Vitalic Buterin? The former disappeared in 2010, the latter is here to stay, working hard with the the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance to become stronger?
2. Can ETH (market cap ~ 17 Bln, since 2015) overtake Bitcoin's market cap (~36 bln, since 2009) because of a better management and better technology i.e. the SegWit scalling saga which were held back for 1.5 years becasue of one Chinese company?
3. Can central banks with their no-ethic (=the enemy) print unlimited amout of fiat, just to buy Bitcoins in order to later at the "right time" ignition a massive "panic"-sell in large numbers to crash the Bitcoin system again and again and again?
1. Do you prefer a company with the CEO with a name and a face or a CEO with a misterious person still now disappeared? 2. I Think that ETH will overtake BTC also for the possibilty of genertaing DAPPS with ETH. Have you seen how many new DAPPS there are in State of Daps? 3. Central banks are perhaps the cause of Bitcoin and Alcoin's market cap collapse. But in my opinion they do this because they are scared and are trying to frighten small traders until the market cap is not too high and therefore difficult to control by the same banks. did you just make this account to post this 1. bitcoin is not a company, it is a decentralized currency. and it is open source, you don't need to know who created it and why should you even care! 2. there are many of them because the scammers find it much easier to make a DAPPS with ethereum than to start from scratch and make money. and as i said above these two have nothing in common so overtake is a meaningless word here. 3. there is no collapse! bitcoin has risen about 90% this year. that is a big ass rise not a collapse. what you see is the collapse of yet again over pumped altcoins which are getting dumped by their pump groups.

How much in percentage of your total bitcoin do you allot or invest to trade? Is it like 50% hold and 50% invest in tradings or how do you go about it? Is it wise to invest all your 100% bitcoin in trading if you feel it is the right opportunity?
it depends on a couple of things in my opinion. - how much bitcoin do you have. is it small like 0.1 BTC or is it big like 1000 BTC? for small go all in! if it is big then depending on risk it can be different. - how much risk you are taking. sometimes, like now it is a bit hard to speculate about the price. it can stay here and fluctuate between two prices or there can be some bad drama news again and w see some dips or it can start flying again. but sometimes it is easy to predict. like when price was 2600-2700 it was obviously nearing the end of the rise and drop was a sure thing. or when price went down to $900 after the $1200 ATH, buying was a no brainer. - this was for bitcoin trading. if you are altcoin trading then things are different since it is a high risk market by nature. and what i do is that i go in with a small percentage most of them time. something like 30%

if you want to buy bitcoin as an investment then just buy it already, waiting around is rarely going to end well for you in bitcoin. think of it as a long term investment and we are near the bottom at this price so you shouldn't worry much about the short term fluctuations either.

I care so much for Bitcoin, that this makes me worried sometimes, not wishing it not to loose it's brand name as #1 crypto forever...
you shouldn't really worry about a centralized dabs platfrom which is not even a currency even being able to compete with bitcoin which is a decentralized currency. it is like saying i am worried apples are going to replace oranges.

i suggested a similar thing a while back. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926157.0it is a good idea to start using a smaller unit, or at least start spreading the word about existence of smaller units. but that is not going to cause the price to grow!

transaction fee has been more than 300 satoshi per byte for the past week. so the first transaction needed 200 s/b additional fee in total of 51000 and second transaction needed an additional 40 s/b total of 1024 satoshi so you in fact paid less fees required for a CPFP so both of your transactions had a pretty low priority to be confirmed, in other words it looks to me more like you got lucky Lol are you kidding? The tx was stuck for 5 days and got confirmed same hour as second one was submitted. Well everything could be but you have to admit this has really a very low probability. Also doesn't CPFP have to be sent to the same address as the first tx? no i am serious these are all guesses though, because the only way to know for 100% sure is to have the mempool of the time of your transaction and analyze the transactions to see how many were with higher priority than you. it is possible that there weren't enough transactions with higher priority (or higher fee than 106 s/b) so your turn was up. i had 2 transactions with 180 s/b and they got both confirmed yesterday! and for CPFP you spend outputs. your first transaction created an output called c5e1289c0e..... and to perform a CPFP you should have spent this output which you accidentally did and created a new one called 47c3b5a501.... . it doesn't matter where you send these to.

i would have said this was a case of CPFP but the fees don't really add up. how CPFP (Child Pays For Parent) works is that you spend an unconfirmed transaction (like what you did with your second tx) but pay a higher fee so that it can cover both transactions. transaction fee has been more than 300 satoshi per byte for the past week. so the first transaction needed 200 s/b additional fee in total of 51000 and second transaction needed an additional 40 s/b total of 1024 satoshi so you in fact paid less fees required for a CPFP so both of your transactions had a pretty low priority to be confirmed, in other words it looks to me more like you got lucky

You can use tradingview or coinigy; i don't know of a method to overly candle charts but you can overly many "line" graphs of the price. But it gets a bit messy since the Y axis must accomodate different prices, maybe there is a method to solve this but i'm not aware of it.
Just click on the scale on the top left of the chart "compare or add symbol"
in addition to that you can always export the points (data) from these sites into an excel spreadsheet usually in form of a .CSV file and then use that to do any kind of analysis you want on them. you can even add USD values to these charts and change the chart type to anything you like since you have a lot more flexibility in excel.

Trading with btc - eth, I buy too high ( 0,082 ) and today I sell all on 0,077. Before that trade btc - ripple ( xrp ), make mistake buy 0,0002150 so today I sell with price 0,0001200. I decide to sell all because my patience is finish. I have loss almost 40% from my money, my question is simple ................. stop or continue?
stop what? you weren't actually trading before, you were gambling. you should now start trading instead. there are certain simple strategies to follow or keep in mind: 1- never buy into the pump:when price of an altcoin has gone up too much too fast, that should be a red flag for you not to buy it anymore. but if you decided to buy, keep an open eye, keep rule #2 in mind, and sell fast with the rise to make profit and get out quick 2- stop loss is your friend:you can do this with some automation like using the feature the exchanges offer you or use a bot. or even do it manually. it means have a negative percentage in mind that you sell no matter what. in altcoins it can be -5 to -10% drop and you dump and get out. i usually do it at -1% and my profit targets are usually 5% to 15% that means safe profit and always successful trading. 3- never fall for a hype in altcoins:know that altcoins are mostly pump and dump and for that people will hype them up with lies. and the bigger the altcoin the bigger and more spread the lies. so just get your profit and get out fast. and only invest in bitcoin for long term.

Satoshi was never allegedly from Japan, it is just a name that was chosen by the creator of bitcoin to remain anonymous. Japan didn't really "suddenly" adopt bitcoin, it happened after 8 years! and their airlines are accepting bitcoin like many other businesses because bitcoin is a legal way of payment and there is a demand for it there. which is why i say you are overthinking it

i am not sure what you want to do exactly but i believe coinmarketcap can help you with that. just go to the market of an altcoin like this: http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/litecoin/ and under the charts you can click on the "Market cap" and ""price (btc)" to hide these two lines and have only the green line representing the "price(usd)" value. this may not be the 100% accurate prices in USD you want since coinmarketcap takes an average price among many exchanges. if you want something 100% accurate then you either need to get the prices of these altcoins directly in USD for example using BTC-E API to get the LTC/USD market data and then calculating your profit loss with some code or something. and most altcoins don't even have a USD (generally fiat) markets and the value you see is based on bitcoin historical price and is not accurate at all for them.

to be honest 3 months ago i was saying $2000 is not possible until the end of this year and we are now at $2090 and we all know the ATH! so it may be possible to reach a higher price too.
but again i am going to say $6000 is not going to happen. maybe if we see the scaling debate finally coming to an end we can see a big rise though.

Before im using c-cex to yobit and do arbitrage trading when coins of each site have great difference on alts price but suddenly my trust on yobit had quitely been reduced since i've seen that their are so many errors occuring unto them thats why i select to use some multiple site wich is reliable on their security and trustable to handle time to time trades and those site are poloniex,bittrex and c-cex.
maybe i will add liqui later on since im quitely following their tracks on this business.
can you share some of the names of these altcoins with you did arbitrage trading with on yobit? because for a long time now, i have been watching many different exchanges and whenever it comes to yobit and some profitability on an altcoin, their wallets are in maintenance mode which means you can not deposit or withdraw the coins so there is no point in them having a different price! that is why i am curious to know what were these coins that i missed and you did successfully trade using arbitrage. maybe i need to modify my bot a little!

As you have saw that the price of bitcoin reached to much higher and you saw that how faster the price of bitcoin increase and as the price is now reduced by some sellers so it is a golden chance for me to buy more coins. You also have to buy as much as possible because in a day or two the price will recover to $2700 and will resume to increase like before.
dude this is already worrying me $2700 lowered to $1700 in less than 4 days and continues to fall I'm entering the damage zone and it will not let me sleep today then you shouldn't have invested in bitcoin in first place. it is not like this is the first time something like this has happened! and it certainly is not a hidden mystery. the charts (history) is right there in open for everyone to see clearly. all the rises we had, the way it went up in the past, the same "big" drops, the same topics even in this board, the FUD are there for you to read and take lessens.

it will reach 5000 in a few months/ to a year.. as long as nothing crazy happens like mtgox 2 something crazy like mtgox 2.0 will only delay the process, it can't stop it. so if in fact it was possible to reach $5000 within a few months then even an mtgox 2.0 that a few months will turn into a few months +2. with that said i doubt we can reach that price with current situation, for now you can expect a long accumulation phase and a lot of FUD about anything remotely bitcoin related causing dips.

meh, the panic sellers never listen and the higher we go it seems like it becomes easier to shake them out and take a big profit. and times like this is the perfect time for people with my strategy. what i do is buying bitcoin each month or couple of weeks or so whenever i have money. and at times like this where there is a big rise i wait till the panic sellers panic and buy all their coins cheap

even as a higher rank you can not add videos, and this forum doesn't have the "flash tags" (possibly disabled due to security reasons). the best thing you can do is to take a screenshot from the youtube video while playing and post that in a [img] tag. something like this: [url=link_to_youtube_video][img]link_to_screenshot[/ img][/url]

Same question as in topic. Where you invest your money today? Btc, Ltc, Eth, Lisk or what?
if you are looking for trading options (since this is the trading board) all of these can be very profitable for a trader. bitcoin market is much more predictable and even if you make a mistake you can make up for it because the price will ALWAYS rise in long term. the other altcoins are mostly unpredictable because they are pump and dumped. among these options i say Lisk is the best at the moment for buying in the dips and selling right away because it is falling. eth to me doesn't look like rising, and its bubble may pop soon. Ltc seems to be keeping the USD value up these days which shows a good buy support, i'll make sure to watch it.
if you want just an investment, then just go for bitcoin. buy and hold it for long term (years) and never look back.

it is mostly based on preference and features you are looking for. for example poloniex has a powerful API with lots of options if you have your own bot. and bittrex lacks that.
but bittrex has a much better platform. the charts are awesome with lots of flexibility and options on them. while poloniex platforms sucks.
the tie breaker for me are the rules of poloniex, and also the fact that they go down and are generally slow and out of reach in times of pump and dump. so i went with bittrex.
i see someone suggested Yobit. STAY AWAY from that place. it is a bad service and a shady business that will most probably rob you blind.
