Coinbase is a legit service, and extremely good for people who are new to crypto. There's almost zero risk to be scammed, but their fees are pretty high, and make them alot less competitive for someone like me.

They might have delays with sending transactions sometimes, but you will always get your bitcoin/ETH/altcoin. They have a pretty good trust record and a good technical team, and they are making so much money that exit scamming is probably not worth it for them..

As for using them as a "wallet", i really wouldn't. It is much easier to just get a hardware wallet like electrum. This way you are not dependant on a third party like coinbase.
This goes for any exchange/market^

Yeah. Very true, i agree that they are lacking alot of stuff, but with the size of their team, I'll give them a bit more time. I hope that they make a universal player like youtube with connected nodes that automatically download content or something like that.

That would be very promising to see.

Also, are there any other altcoins which do the same thing as LBRY Credits is trying to accomplish? Video streaming and such?
I might diversify my portfolio a bit more in them aswell, in case LBRY gets beaten by them, which i don't see happening anytime soon, but you never know it in this market...

I have bitcoin, and i need 10$ paypal ASAP..

Due to chargebacking newbies, i will only deal with Sr. Member+, or unless you have really good trust.

Please PM me so we can make a deal, Lets make the rate around 8+% Preev? I am not sure what is fair for this kind of a deal, but i'm sure we can work something out. I can also sent the BTC first, if that is necessary.

You're losing because you're probably extremely shortsighted. There's only a small amount of people in this world who can "day" or "hour" trade while making profit, and you're statistically seen probably not one of them.. You therefore need to change how you play this ""game"".



It's the market cycle, coins go up and down, don't worry about it. People always see trading as some second to second thing, while it really isn't that. That's how you lose ridiculous amounts of money.

Why don't you search for 5-10 altcoins you truly believe in project and product wise, and speculate on those for a longterm. ( Lets say 6-18 months. ), and just don't look at them.

People who did this with bitcoin in 2010-2015 made way more then most of the  people who were buying dips and selling highs in 2010-2015 with bitcoin.

First of all, welcome to the forums. I could tell you all the rules, but it would better if you'd skim through here, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0

I'll list some things you shouldn't do on this forum / watch out for ( in my opinion. These are not necessarily forum "rules"). ( things newbies frequently are getting scammed for)

- HYIP/ Ponzi scams, they're extremely similar to cloud mining, ridiculous payouts is usually how you spot them.. There is an entire board dedicated to them. Avoid at all costs. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=207.0)
- Selling ANY altcoin anywhere on this forum for Paypal $$$. You will get chargebacked.
- Trading with low, and untrusted members. These have nothing to lose, and will scam you even for 2$. Be extremely cautious.
- Clicking on any links members sent you in PM that look fishy, or any banners.
- Be wary that time is money for alot of members of this forum. Questions are good, but don't be stupid, don't waste other peoples' time..
- Try to get a loan with your newbie account. Just don't.
- Spam for your signature, it hinders alot of people, and is not going to be worth it in the end.

These should be very straightforward, but there's dozens of people somehow still falling for all of these scams, and annoying other users..


Now for bitcoin, there are some guides out there which are really good. I'll list you some.

 - Basic guide. Give it a read and scroll down for some more links and wallets. https://blockgeeks.com/guides/what-is-bitcoin-a-step-by-step-guide/

 - Blockchain Technology explained, https://blockgeeks.com/guides/what-is-blockchain-technology/

 - Satoshi whitepaper, understand how bitcoin works from the technical side, https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
 The entire http://bitcoin.org site is very good. It has alot of information about bitcoins for beginners.

 - Lurk moar, through different sections of the forum. It will give you alot of good knowledge.

As for making money on the forums, I wouldn't know anything else other then selling a skill, or your signature space. ( which is worth nada if you're a newb.).

If you're familiar with normal stock trading, you could try to trade altcoins. on both http://poloniex.com and http://bittrex.com

Buy coins which you think will go up in value / are worth more then they currently are. Do research on them, study their team, their whitepaper, their planning / roadmap, and make your own decisions..

See https://coinmarketcap.com/ for the most altcoins.

He's saying you shouldn't withdraw ANY currency from their site but ETH, i think he is implying that is the only coin which is currently working.

Anyway, Yobit has been shady for a long time, but has never not paid me my coins..Although i am always extremely careful when i use them.
 
My withdraw was stuck once, but it was easily resolved after a ticket, ( this was some time ago though ), maybe PM them here on the forums?.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=406594

EDIT;

It seems that alot of people are currently having trouble withdrawing from yobit, you might want to open up a scam report to see if they respond to that?

Uhm, no, if i get your question right, you're worried about nothing. If you sent your bitcoins from exchange X to hardware wallet Y, both your private key and public key will be renewed. If the exchange gets hacked, there is no way they could get your bitcoin, unless you EXPORTED the "exchange wallet" into something like electrum.

If you are talking about "privacy", , no this wouldn't really work, since you can easily follow the bitcoin. you would need to use a bitcoin tumbler for that. As follows Exchange -> Tumbler/Mixer -> Trezor.

for more information about mixing, https://bitmixer.io/why.html , https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mixing_service, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin_mixer

Be aware that alot of bitcoin mixers are scams. Only use highly trusted ones.

Whenever you sent someone 0.5BTC, while you have infact 2.0BTC on the adress, the full amount will be spend. you will just sent the other 1.5 BTC to yourself, on another adress, in your wallet.

basically, if you want to send BTC to someone, you send ALL of the BTC that address owns. However, you send to more than one recipient, one of those recipients can be yourself.

This is demonstrated in this transaction for example : http://blockchain.info/tx/b2391755af7382c6643822a52e25620899396cc0dceab0a399033aeafa516310

That's what got me interested in this ICO aswell, the fact that it is hosted on NEO. I feel like the same thing that happend with the basic attention token will also happen to this ICO.

There's probably some whales which will scoop all the coins right before anyone else can buy in, which makes it even more lucrative to try and get in.

Hey, am i able to host bitcoin nodes, and other sorts of altcoin / crypto nodes on your VPSES? Do they have the right ports to be able to do that etcetera? If so, i am interested to buy some VPSES from you.

Please send me a PM if possible. I can pay with bitcoin upfront.

Can these VPSES be used to host nodes on? If so, i am interested to buy one. I can pay with bitcoin upfront. Should i PM you?

What do you guys think about this ICO? It looks very small (15MIL$), and the idea seems pretty promising. Their team is very experienced, by the looks of.
Alot of potential in my opinion to easily grow to a 100 million marketcap, which would mean x10 or so.?

See, https://coin.red-pulse.com/
(Whitepaper for who's interested, https://coin.red-pulse.com/wp-content/uploads/redpulse-whitepaper-en.pdf)

Why did you make such a site? The only real usecase is to scam other cryptocurrency users, thinking you are paying them while you really aren't. This kind of stuff is what destroys bitcoin, and cryptocurrency.

I don't want to sit on some moral high-grounds, but this will only hurt new people in the bitcoin community.

Also, i could send transactions to myself on your site for some reason? is this a bug?..



It seems your ill-intentions have been confirmed. I'd be surprised if this works at most bitcoin casinos nowadays though.

Looking to buy an amazon AWS EC2 account ( Possibly multiple for the right price ) which is valid for 1 year for 1 VPS, The account should be created with legit info, no hacked cards etc.

Please send me a private message with your pricing.

I am only interested in dealing with Full member and above. If you have red trust don't waste your time. I can pay upfront to Sr. Member and above..

Is this swarm fund created by these guys, https://swarm.city/ , or are they two completely different coins/teams. I really see alot of similarities.

Swarm.fund ICO seems like it will generate alot of money, but i don't really feel it. Their idea is not new, it has already been done before more or less. Surely there's money to made, but i'll pass this one.

Stop this scam. I've joined a group exactly like this one a couple months back, my guess is you are the same people.

They hold a "vote", rig em, so they can prebuy, and then they dump on the people which are their ""customers"".

They reward the users that have drawn the most people in their discord with like 10-15 seconds of time to buy in before the rest of the cattle can.

The "we hype it up on social media", is total bullshit.

If this was actually true, they wouldn't even need you guys at all.
It's so obvious that this story doesn't add up, yet so many people keep participating in them. come on.

You might want to use something like this? https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@mrilevi/the-top-5-best-altcoin-wallets-an-overview

These two are really good, https://jaxx.io/ (12 supported altcoins.) & https://coinomi.com/ (64 supported altcoins)

Also, probably, yes. if you write down the seed of every altcoin wallet you have, you should theoretically be fine, even if it's 20 years later.

I was curious what you guys were thinking about library credits, It currently has ~20mil marketcap (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/library-credit/)

The token is all about content freedom, and the sharing of it. They want to represent themselves as the decentralized ""youtube"". https://lbry.io/

With the current youtube crisis that is going on, ( no adrev, youtube censoring political or supposedly ""racist"" video's.) I feel like a coin like this could really boom.

Is this something that could blow up? What do you think?

Honestly, every coin is pretty much tied up to bitcoin. If bitcoin pumps/dumps, altcoins will always respond to that. I don't really think that there is an altcoin trying to be the direct opposite of bitcoin, techwise. Maybe one of the tokens, which are centralized?

Alot of altcoins are extremely different to bitcoin, but there isn't really a coin which is the opposite of bitcoin, not techwise, nor TA wise.

I feel like ethereum isn't the final ""solution"", there is probably another coin after ethereum which is stabler, faster, and better. Maybe something like stratis, but actually doesn't suck.

Ethereum is just the start, there is much more to come. That's why i don't get why people act like they are married with ethereum.
