Hmm but what about the initial transaction fee for buying the BNB in the first place? Doesn't that add to the cost of the transaction?
Yes, that will probably be 0.10%, since you're transferring BTC -> X ( Binance Coin). I don't really see this as a negative factor, since it is a 1 time problem, you'll have the same fees buying another coin with BTC -> X. |

From what I can tell, fees are reduced if you use Binance's coin (BNB) to execute trades on Binance. Is it worth doing this? (I just sent some BTC over to Binance to buy something with -- should I first convert my BTC to BNB before making my purchase?)
Also, are there fees for trading BTC for BNB on Binance? If they charge you to convert your currency to BNB, it seems like it would defeat the purpose of trading for BNB in order to reduce fees.
I believe it reduces the fees with ~50%, ( this includes the maker fees only? etcetera i believe.) ( 0.10% vs 0.05%) So yes, i'd say it would be a pretty smart move to do that. You can read a bit more about it here, https://steemit.com/crypto/@therealwolf/bnb-and-binance-explained, or simply google it. |

This would stop all account farming and spamming since the rank would no longer be that relevant.
It would indeed be a lot less, but i could still see accounts being farmed to scam/bump ICO threads etcetera. This would even benefit the forum since normal ads would be more lucrative and could be sold for more I guess. Where do you think all the traffic that bitcointalk is getting is coming from? Most of it is from Signature spammers and account farmers. If Theymos were to do this he would essentially be killing his own forum. ( This might be over exaggerated a bit, but you get what i mean. No signatures = Less spammers/activity = less traffic = would probably correlate in less advertisers aswell.) The last time this forum received a donation from someone i believe was over a year ago? Which basically means the forum is completely dependant on their reserves/ad revenue. (albeit that the reserves are quite large.) Ofcourse i am biased on this issue, ( since i'm wearing a signature aswell... ) This merit thing will not prevent shitposter from ranking up. If a person is a good quality poster but no one wants to give him/her merit theres nothing he/she can do with that. Unlike those one liner posters and shitposters they will still get merit if the member wants to give him merit. I saw a lot of shit post and one lined post that recieved merits.
That sounds delusional, do you have some examples? |

The error you have is usually received when something is stopping you from connecting... (duh).
It seems that you might be running bitcoind with -connect=0, or something similar ( bitcoin core not having access to any network, as above user mentioned.)? Could you check that?

I was able to enter the Receiving Address, where I sent 2 payments, the 2nd payment was confirmed by the Blockchain, only in Elecrtum the booking is missing. Is that normal?
No, that's not normal. If you've sent funds to an adress belonging to an Electrum wallet, it should show an incoming amount from the moment the transaction got broadcasted. As ranochigo stated: Is your Electrum connected to a node/updating?  Is that dot which states "Network" green or red? RED= Disconnected, probably something wrong with your firewall/wifi, which means the balance/incoming transaction never have been updated. GREEN= Connected, which means you probably send the coins to the wrong adress/got phished into sending the coins to someone else's adress. |

Hello! I need serious help with this as I am very confused already with too much information.
I want to buy 100$k worth of alt-coins, various kind and I need to store them all easily and safely (I want to keep my private keys) for HODL.
What do you recommend, what are the pros and cons of each and what more options do I have?
I would appreciate a small explenation on how each of these work.
1. Nano Ledger?
2. Trezor?
3. Paper wallet?
4. MyEtherWallet (I suppose this is for Ether tokens/coins only).
5. Coin developers wallet on my computer?
1) Nano ledger only supports up to 5 applications/ coins i believe? -- https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6suu4c/how_many_apps_can_you_install_on_a_ledger_nano_s/2) Trezor only supports 10 coins i think - https://coinsutra.com/trezor-supported-coins/3) That's going to be an extreme hassle but if you're going to hodl this could be possible. 4) If you're only planning on buying ERC20 tokens. 5) Exodus, https://www.exodus.io/ Jaxx, https://jaxx.io/ ( I believe they had security issues in the past so use with care. Coinomi -https://coinomi.com/ ( Android/IOS) over 270 coins. |

Just let Coinbase keep the wallet secured on your behalf - it's much easier. You'll later be able to transfer your funds to your own privately held wallet, if you decide so.
Coinbase is good for newbies.
NO. Coinbase might be a good place for newbies to buy bitcoins, but you are simply ripping yourself off if you use them as your go-to wallet. They overprice you on everything, transaction fees etc. They broadcast unbatched transaction with an average fee of about ~400-300 sat/b, while you can currently get confirmed with 50-100 rather easily. It's much better to move BTC to your own wallet, where you control the private keys. See electrum for example. |

Best chances of getting merit is probably to give an informative answer on a question someone asks, ( Beginners & Help, Technical Support, etc.) within the first few replies..
And here is the problem (especially Beginners & Help). The people asking questions there are in general very new to this domain and also very new to the forum itself. Most of them are creating a new account just to ask their questions and they almost never log back in. Since their accounts are new they don't have any merit points, so they cannot give any merit points, even if they would know how (and that's another issue). That's what the merit sources are for. They just browse sections like these for good answers/good posts as i stated above. You'd essentially cater them, instead of the OP in said thread (Although i'm pretty sure you're ultimately also helping the OP with a good answer.). |

In order to rank up, one must be able get a certain number of merit. And post/s can be merited if its good, very useful and informative one. With a very huge number of posts on a certain topic, is there someone patiently reading those posts so good posts can be merited? Are those hundrends of posts have an equal chance to be read and earn a merit? What if the good posts are posted on the middle spreadsheet, will someone still care to read it? Im just curious. Thank you!
Probably not, i doubt that merit sources ( or anyone with sMerit) would go through hundreds of pages on for example a coin ICO ANN thread to find specifically find your post ( or any "high" quality posts, as it is generally flooded with spam.). Best chances of getting merit is probably to give an informative answer on a question someone asks, ( Beginners & Help, Technical Support, etc.) within the first few replies.. |

This is probably a noob question, but I would be very thankful if you could help me with this!
I’m curious to know where you find information / announcements of upcoming airdrops and bounty programs. (i.e. Telegram groups, Twitter profiles, websites, subreddits, Bitcointalk sections etc.)
I mostly use this service for all upcoming news about coins, airdrops, and other newsworthy stuff, http://coinmarketcal.com/ it's basically a community driven website where anyone can list an event, and others can vote whether or not that event is real/truly happening. It doesn't really include bounties, for that i'd advise you to simply keep an eye on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0 |

I have this both adnetwork on my site https://bl4nkcode.info and base on my experience which is obviously google Adsense has more advantages since google covered mostly the surface web, Eg. google search engine and youtube. And with the CPC regarding crypto I get more revenue in adsense than in CoinTraffic daily so I guess adsense is further than cointraffic IMO. The last time i used cointraffic as a publisher they didn't credit me for clicks, rather everything was CPM -- a flat rate of 0.05$ worth of BTC per 1000 impressions for normal banners, 0.5$ per 1000 popups etc. I see tendency that people use more CoinTraffic rather than Adsense.
Why it happens?
Probably because cointraffic pays out in bitcoin, doesn't ban you for silly things, and doesn't require the need of a credit card. I also believe Adsense doesn't allow you to use them as a publisher on a lot of bitcoin-related sites such as faucets. |

where to start? and what to use for this application?
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=How+to+mine+altcoins+using+your+GPUArguably the easiest/most noob friendly way to mine would be to download the nicehash miner, https://miner.nicehash.com/, and simply mine the algorithm that gives you the most profit in BTC. However, if their platform gets hacked, your funds that you haven't withdrawed yet ( they have a withdraw threshhold), might be lost, as has happend in the past. |

Hello folks, I'm a first time miner. Please I'm about to buy a used mining rig from a friend of mine. He wants to focus on trading cryptos because he says its more profitable for him. I will list the components of the rig below. If Electricity isn't a factor, do you think I should go ahead and purchase? Rig is going for $2000  Rig components. Metal mining frame 5x 120mm cooling fans 2x amd Sapphire R9 290x GPU 3x amd Sapphire R9 290 GPU 1x 1800w mining PSU 80 plus gold 6x pcie risers v006 120gb SSD 4gb ram Asrock h81 pro BTC motherboard Core i5 CPU 4th gen 150mhs mining etherium on ethermine or nanopool Rig is going for $2000. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. 2x R9 290X nets you around 5-6$ a day, if your electricity is 0$. see https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/amd-r9-290x?e=0.00001¤cy=USD-As far as the 290 goes, it isn't listed on nicehash or any other profitability calculators, so i tried to calculate it myself.- Someone should correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe the normal 290 has a hashpower of around 200h/s mining zcash? That'd be 3*1.31$ - 4$ a day by mining Zcash. That'd be 9-10$ a day without electricity costs. Your ROI would then be 2000/9 = over 200 days.. Note that i'm not an expert^ |

What is the difference between coins and tokens?
An altcoin is a completely seperate currency, with its own blockchain, that isn't dependant on another blockchain, has it's own wallets etcetera. Tokens are usually based/made upon another crypto currency. Take for example the ethereum protocol. There's tons of "tokens" which are on it. They use the same wallets as their parent currency, are (mostly) coded the same way, etc. (-- If Ethereum would stop functioning, so would all the tokens that are on their platform.) You should see tokens as another currency inside the blockchain of another coin. https://coinmarketcap.com/tokens/ |

EDIT: totally forgot that the parent was also dropped ^_^. |

Hello everyone, i`m new here so i hope that i leave the new topic on the right place.
So, the problem is that i sent some btc to my localbitcoin address but transaction got stuck, i tried to accelerate ir but they say that transaction can`t be found....can someone help me please!?
Transaction ID: 83619e4a579b498b30c1d48fa4ef57b2692a0f6a471ede2c0cc7a5afeb43539a
It seems that most of the nodes have stopped broadcasting your transaction, as i can no longer find your tx on btc.com, or blockchair.com. Not sure with what wallet you sent the TX, but you should try to rebroadcast it. (Also, i'm not sure if you know this or not, but 83619e4a579b498b30c1d48fa4ef57b2692a0f6a471ede2c0cc7a5afeb43539a has an unconfirmed input which you are trying to spent, see https://blockchain.info/tx-index/325351268/1) |

How to get Merit??
I'm newbe so give me an explanation please
what should I do to get Merit?
Help me master bitcoiner
Make constructive/helpful posts, and there will be a chance that a user will reward you with a random amount of merit for it. There are no rules set in stone for it, i guess you could say it is a bit random. Alternatively if you think your posts are very constructive/high quality, you could ask a user like TMAN to merit you, as he is currently doing here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2825523 |

There are a few to choose from to be honest - the first one I started with was Bittrex. It has loads of coins to choose from and is fairly easy to navigate and use. Binance is one I have used as well that is quite good. They use googles 2FA system where you can have a code generate on your mobile/cell phone and this adds an extra security layer for you. Stay away from bitgrail atm - withdrawals on hold I believe. Hope this helps mate and good luck  Neither of those exchanges are good for people who are *extremely* new to crypto -- you can't buy bitcoin on them, which is what the OP is asking i think. Hello, new to crypto and bitcointalk so apologies if this has been asked before.
What exchange would you recommend for someone new and why please ?
I live in europe.
If you're an absolute newbie, and haven't bought crypto ever before, i'd advise you to use an exchange like Coinbase, fees are pretty high but the process is pretty straightforward. If you're a bit more experienced and don't want to pay a heck amount of fees, use something along the lines of Bitstamp |
