That's weird. Documents verification usually only takes minutes to be verified. Make sure the picture is clear before you upload it. I have a friend who just signed up there and verified his documents so fast. Maybe 10--15 minutes after he uploaded his documents. I heard some news about Bittrex lately. Blocking some users without permission and their funds are stucked. I just don't know what's the update about that. Luckily, i pulled out all my funds there and jump into other exchange (binance) before they did that. Sad to say, they are not provided any contact numbers. You can only just contact them thru e-mail or on their social media channels. You have no other options but to wait for their response.

I would like to apply

That sucks. You funds is stucked. But don't worry because there's a tx accelerator available. Try to find one or try this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2204426.0
That's a free service but it's up to you if you want to tip them or not. Just post your txid there and for their reply. I think it's a good service since many have tried and their transaction was accelerated. Viabtc acceleration tool is very hard to use. It's also full. But if you sign up there. They will give 1 time acceleration. That's what i did when my funds got stucked at the process. Anyway, don't ever use lower than recommended fees to avoid any kind of inconveniences.

These are the popular website for cryptocurrency news.

Cointelegraph.com
New.bitcoin.com
Cryptocoinsnews.com
Coindesk.com
Reddit and steemit

I usually visit these sites to keep in touch with the updates of cryptocurrency. But most of the news you could see there are about bitcoin. But you can get the fresh news at their social media channels like Telegram, Twitter, Slack, medium or facebook. Most devs are using these sites to keep their followers updated. Hope it helps. Good luck.

"The Indonesian Central Bank has resumed its campaign against digital currencies as it ordered a ban on the use of the leading virtual currency Bitcoin as a method of payment. The bank claimed that Bitcoin represents neither a legal nor a recognized medium of exchange and payment in Indonesia.

The latest action by the central bank was seen as the reason behind the closure of the Indonesia-based Bitcoin payment platforms BitBayar and TokoBitcoin. BitBayar, an alternative to services such as BitPay, has issued a notice that it will stop its services on Nov. 1.

Also, TokoBitcoin has opted to stop accepting the leading cryptocurrency as a method of payment."

For me, they are still lucky because the government did not implemented a total ban to Bitcoin.
This is not a serious problem at all because of it's price right now. Bitcoin is too expensive. I think no sane person will spend it for anything unimportant. Bitcoin is good form of investment. So banning  bitcoin to be use on any kind of payment will not cause huge impact at the price of because traders there can still keep their bitcoins. Anyway, Central Bank there is just getting started from their campaign against bitcoin. So expect the worst.

This wont affect Bitcoin as a whole. Indonesia is not a big player of Bitcoin. Also i don't think there's a huge impact to Bitcoin if they ban Bitcoin as payment method since they don't even want to spend it for anything. They want to keep it than spend it. Besides, few stores and establishments are accepting there. If you look at the price. It doesn't affected by the news. Actually, it continues to hit it's all time high. But if they implement a total ban to Bitcoin. That's a different story. I think Bitcoin will drop a bit. Traders there are lucky though. The government didn't ban Bitcoin.

It's definitely useful. Bitcoin is a good form of investment which generates good profit. That's why Bitcoin is really dominates the market right now. It's worth to hold for long term, if you ask me. Altcoins are good too. Actually it's the right time to buy some altcoins right now because they are more cheaper. Altcoin market is bearish right now but wait until Bitcoin hardfork take place. The volume on altcoin market will recover again as soon as they dump hardfork coin and Bitcoin because there's no reason to hold it.

Bitcoin is at it's highest peak right now. That's not a recommended price to buy Bitcoin because it's to expensive right now. Bitcoin will drop atleast $6000+ for correction and will continue to go up to $8000-$9000 at the of this year. But it's up to you. It's your money.

I think you can trade. I think exchanges don't have minimum amount for deposits. But it's not recommendable amount to trade because if you include the transaction fee for your deposit. Your $14 will not be deposit $14 exactly because of the fee. Try alteast 50 bucks and above to make it more profitable because if you trade small amount, you only get also small amount. But if you want only to experience trading. Why not? Just find a cryptocurrency which is worth to buy. Try DGB or ADA or any cheaper coins with potential.

Don't bother finding one. Consider all of them scams. It's the cloudmining which takes benefits from it. Not the investors. So i suggest, stay away from them. There's many investors are scammed by these scam cloud mining. Come to think of it. You can't even take back your roll of investments within one year. This can't give you decent profit. I don't know why there's so many people fall for this. Cloudmining is not worth your time and money. There's a lot of ways to make your btc grow mate. HYIP sites including cloudmining is not included. You can trade you btc if you want. Trading can give you decent profit. You just need to study it first before jumping to this field.

For me, there's no difference at all. Because they are susceptible to any kinds of harms like virus or any kinds of malware that can be a cause why the funds are being stole. It's up to you how you manage to protect your funds in you wallets. Im using both computer and smartphone. Just protect them with antivirus and anti-keylogger. Don't go to suspicious sites that possibly phishing sites and don't install any apps or extensions. On smartphones, as Tryninja said. Don't install any apps that can penetrate the root where all your datas including your wallet stored.


Because you don't have the full access to your Bitcoin. Because exchanges don't give any access to your private keys. Exchanges also are prone from hacker's attacks which cause losing funds. If you know what happen recently to Bitfinex. They lost huge amount because hackers stole the funds and unable to recover it.

Bitcoin Ivy League! Yale, Wharton, Haas Offer Courses on Blockchain Tech

Business schools are getting pressure from two sides: growing student population interest in cryptocurrencies, and successful companies, looking to hire graduates with practical knowledge in the technology (tech) undergirding the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, bitcoin.

Bitcoin Tech Accepted at Ivy League Schools

“We believe it will have the biggest impact on contracting, logistics and supply chains, healthcare, public administration, assets clearing, property, transactions,” Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley lecturer Greg LaBlanc told Agence France Presse, speaking about technology undergirding bitcoin, the blockchain.

“When people think about blockchain they think about cryptocurrencies,” Mr. LaBlanc continued. “Pretty much every function of businesses are going to be affected by this.”

 

Next semester, Haas School of Business  “will offer its first ever course in blockchain software,” AFP’s Luc Olinga writes. The school “will handpick 60 students from the departments of business, engineering and law and split them into groups of six to explore possible applications of the technology.”

Haas is ranked in the top ten business schools, seventh to be exact, according to US News & World Report.

Cliche as a Way to Cryptocurrencies

Blockchain, for whatever reason, is the most-oft put cliche in crypto circles. It’s almost a watchword when deciding how new someone is: the more they pepper sentences with phrases such as “blockchain technology,” the more keen listeners understand they’re probably lacking in real-world bitcoin knowledge.

Precisely because its been picked up by corporate business types, ironically, it has become a way for that community to embrace cryptocurrencies … which carry stigmas of unofficial or the anarchic (or can).

Bitcoin Ivy League! Yale, Wharton, Haas Offer Courses on Undergirding Tech

“It was originally developed as the accounting method for bitcoin,” Mr. Olinga explains. “But while that cryptocurrency remains controversial with some players in finance, bankers increasingly see exposure to blockchain as a must.”

Yale, Wharton, Oh My!

It’s a new world for business students, and a great deal of that change is due to bitcoin. As AFP notes, students “who wish to work in trading must learn how to code, while bankers need to understand algorithms and big data to be able to attract new clients and devise strategies for fast-changing markets.”

“At Yale, about 20 percent of 2016 graduates found jobs in finance,” according to AFP.

Yale School of Management’s Stephen Daffron puts a finer point on it, saying if students “don’t understand how to evaluate a company that tries to employs blockchain, then they won’t probably be a good fit for us.” .

The Wharton School’s Barbara Hewitt explains, “I increasingly see students opting to explore technical minors, such as in computer science, to be well prepared for the growing use of technology in many fields.”

I don't think you can find any banks that are Cryptocurrency friendly. Most of bankster are against Cryptocurrencies because they are centralized and Cryptocurrencies are decentralized. They can't control it because of this technology aims for total financial freedom. So it's very rare to find a bank which accepts cryptocurrencies. If you see some big personalities from big financial institutions like Jamie Dimon and many others are trying to pull down Bitcoin because it threatens their business.

Anyway, you don't really need banks for your crypto because crypto alone has wallet itself. It will act as your bank.

This can be true because the recent news Zimbabwe reach nearly $10000 https://www.thefuturescentre.org/signals-of-change/201507/bitcoin-replacing-cash-zimbabwe-due-lack-cash-country . Due to Zimbabwe lack of cash. Citizens there force to switch to Bitcoin to pay their bills. And that cause massive adoption of Bitcoin there. That's why the price of Bitcoin there was skyrocketed nearly almost $10,000 a piece. Higher than normal price. 2009 when they start to adopt USD as their fiat currency. But they are now lack of it. That is why Bitcoin in Zimbabwe is now replacing cash there. The country is facing a crisis and they think only bitcoin can solve the problem.

That's normal. Altcoin markets are bleedin in red right now. Bitcoin is sucking the all the volume because hardfork will take place at mid of November. So expect all the altcoins bleeding before the hardfork. Altcoin market will recover as soon as the harkfork finished. Because people just want the split coins. It's a good money. Who dont want that?
Iota is a pretty good crypto. Actually, i invested on that project. It's bleeding for the past few months. The price drops below the price where i bought it. That's sucks. But i still believe in this project.

It's hard to be gain trust ratings. But can achieve that though. You just to need create something useful and helpful to the community. Like doing small trades like sell your altcoins for Bitcoin or Bitcoins for altcoins. For every successful trades. The member will give you positive feedback because of the successful trade. But do not force them to give you positive feedback. That's not a good behaviour and abusing trust. You can also offer a service for free. Just like what others was doing here. And one thing i notice. You're a newbie. Make your rank atleast full member or higher in able to find someone you can transact with. No disrespect, but no one trusts newbies these days.

If they are going to accept cryptocurrencies. Why don't they announce it and use the original site?
It will just cause confusion to people who wants to buy with their Bitcoins because they'd created a different domain. Anyway, i think they are going to accept cryptocurrency as a payment method in the future. Because they are not going to create multiple domains without any purpose. It's good to know that they are now interested with this technology and i hope that they announce it as soon as possible. Anyway, i think Alibaba planning to accept Bitcoin as a payment. But due to China regulations. The plans have delayed. I don't know what's the progress.

Supporting for bitcoin to become world currency.
[/quote]

No. Bitcoin i think is not ready to be use a world currency. If you're a practical person. You will know that. Look at the fee when sending Bitcoin. It's very expensive. Bitcoin is not created for that matter. They should create a crypto which don't require fee and fast transaction. I think that's the ideal crptocurrency that can be use as world currency. Bitcoin for me is a good form of investment that generates fast income. Bitcoin cannot be use a world currency.

I never seen any potential crypto that could be use as world currency. But i know some countries are trying to create their own cryptocurrency to be use as their alternative currency like Japan and Russia.

Depends on what crypto you are aiming to mine. If you are aiming for bitcoin. Then use ASIC miner. It is way too fast than GPU miner. Bitcoin mining with GPU these days are not recommended since it's more slower solving blocks than ASIC. Also i don't know if GPU still supports mining Bitcoin. And if it is, i don't think it's profitable. But compare to GPU. GPU can mine more different coins than ASIC. ASIC miner can only mine sha256 crypto like Joulecoin, Namecoin, Bytecoin, Devcoin, Terracoin, Unicoin etc. GPU miner almost supports all altcoins in the market.

If i were to buy a mining rig. I will buy GPU miner. Because it's flexible ane you can able to mine good coins like Ethereum. Also it's more silent than ASIC. You can mine indoor with GPU unlike ASIC that is too loud. You need to find a proper place to store and make sure to store it in a cool place.

Siberians Use Cryptocurrency Miners to Heat Homes

RT has reported that citizens of the Russian city of Irkutsk in Siberia have been using cryptocurrency mining to heat their homes. Irkutsk has attracted many cryptocurrency miners due to the city’s cheap power prices.

Two Irkutsk Entrepreneurs Have Developed an Underfloor Heating System Connected to Mining Hardware

Siberians Use Cryptocurrency Miners to Heat HomesLocal entrepreneurs, Ilya Frolov and Dmitry Tolmachyov, have developed a functioning prototype for an underfloor heating system that utilizes the heat generated by cryptocurrency miners. Frolov discussed their prototype with local media, stating “usually mining machines are cooled by blowers; the heat is then released to the atmosphere. We consider this not rational or ecological, that’s why we’ve implemented a concept where the heat from computing operations is used for peaceful purposes of warming houses.”

Frolov and Tomachyov have stated that they intend to construct around 2,000 “cryptohouses” by 2020 – with each unit providing heat through mining.

RT Reports That More Than One Thousand People Are Mining Cryptocurrency in Irkutsk

Siberians Use Cryptocurrency Miners to Heat HomesThe city is reported to be describing itself as “Russia’s informal mining capital,” and is home to a cafe that accepts bitcoin. Irkutsk will also soon host a bitcoin ATM, which was indicated in early October by Anton Friedel – the director of Russian start-up Bbfpro, a company that recently installed ten bitcoin ATMs in Russia’s third most populous city.

Frolov asserts that many cryptocurrency miners are drawn to Irkutsk by the city’s low energy costs – with RT reporting that power prices in Irkutsk are approximately one-fifth of those in Moscow. “The profitability of computing calculation at times exceeds the cost of electricity, that’s why it is rational to use it this way,” Frolov stated. In recent weeks, Mybroadband.co.za published a story featuring a quote from Yury Dromashko, a Russian who sold an apartment to raise the capital needed to establish a bitcoin mining farm in Irkutsk. Mr. Dromashko stated that “mining is a promising business that helps Russians earn hard currency.”

That's still depends on the case why your account was banned. If you remember any of your posts that copied from other sites and pasted here. Then, i think you should forget that account. That's already gone and you're not able to recover it since you're account was permanently banned. But if you really want to recover or unban your account. You should make a thread at Meta section and request to staffs to unban your account. Actually, posting here with your alt accounts is bad move mate. It's against the rules. That is ban evasion. You should be only posting on Meta section not here.
