If you claim that the latest bitcoins you bought are the ones you sold (and either claim a loss or a small profit).... How do you plan to declare the previously bought bitcoins if you ever need to sell them for banking fiat in the future?

I mean, if you do that you are basically claiming the latest bitcoins you bought are the first/only ones you got. You could have a hard time later proving you had some more when you yourself declared you don't.

Or maybe canadian law is different in this specifics.

I will never understand selling right after a dump instead of during a pump. But, who knows....

There's not such thing of "store of value". I mean, either everything is (because anything can hold some value), or nothing is (because there's no guarantee).

The best "store of value" is DIVERSIFYING.

I really don't understand those people that always talk about store of value and are all in in a single asset. It doesn't matter if it is cryptocurrencies, PM's, Real State, stocks.... If you want to "store value" with some guarantees you need to be diversified.

Have we finished panicking now? Is this the bottom?

You mean the screen refresh problem? It is not that much noticeable so that's why I am doubting if it is a faulty display or maybe that's how it is.

The other issues I guess it's just how it is.... unless someone can confirm the password manager does work with kraken and poloniex. If it works I would like to know what I am doing wrong in the configuration.

I will try to get used for a couple of days in case it is my mistake. Anyway, except the display thing I don't think the rest of issues is a faulty unit but just how it is.

About the cable I am using the one of the ledger because the trezor one is too short, but I don't think I am having any communications issue.

I have been able to use the password manager with several sites, I just cant get it to work with Kraken and Poloniex, which are two of the most important for me.t

Hi!

I am not sure if this is the main Trezor thread or not, but as it is about Trezor I will post here.

Yesterday I received my first Trezor. I've had Ledger Nano S for several months but I was so incredibly happy with the purchase that I decided I also had to try the "original".

I will give it some more time just in case the fail is on my, but I am VERY dissapointed with the purchase when I compare it with my ledger.

First, I don't know if its my unit that is faulty or if all Trezors share the same problem, but the screen refresh is too slow. At first I was noticing some strange feelig when looking at the screen, not sure what was it... just that it feeled uncomfortable. After some tests, and recording on a camera it is obvious that the screen refresh is extremely slow. Is this a problem of my unit or anyone else have noticed the same?

Second, the password manager is the main function I decided to order a Trezor even if I was more than happy with my ledger. But it just plain doesn't work on the few sites I have tried. Well, it does work on some uninportant ones, but the main ones I want it to work have some or another problem:

- Kraken: It just says "Couldn't find login form. Sorry!".
- Poloniex, it seems to find the form fields, but after submit it always says invalid captcha.

Third, I feel like it is way better the method of pin entry of the ledger. ALso it times out too often AND the browser plugin asks again for the pin but the screen just displays the locks and not the pin grid, so I need to disconnect and reconnect the USB. Really?

Fourth, The device itself feels like much cheaper and worse quality than the ledger. I am VERY worried that the screen could be damaged in the pocket alonside coins/keys/etc.... Maybe it's ok, but the overall feel is like if it was a five eur toy or countrfeit from china.

I will keep testing it and its other functions as a wallet but if someone can point me out some solution for my problems (the screen refresh and the password manager) or tell me if my unit is somehow faulty I would very glad.

Thanks!

 

If your stash is smaller than it could be because of mtgox or any other exchange issues and your are now thinking about lending in bitmex, then your learnt nothing.

1. It's not on my list of "fair" exchanges. But I don't have any reason to suspect much more from them than all the rest.

2- You can lend whatever quantity you want.

3- Probably there are better sections for this type of questions... but this is wall observer and there's not that much walls to observe nowadays.

I think I am starting to understand your position on this issue. But, still, there are some questions I would like to ask you:

- Don't you think miners have already enough power with their hashrate that if they "win" this game they will be too much powerful than desirable?
Specially considering that "miners" is not exactly a distributed group, but mainly Jihan/Antminer... one single entity.
- From what you have just said, I think you are not against Segwit/LN, are you?

I "think" you are much more invested in Bitcoin than I am, so I supposse whatever you support you do it in your belief that it will be a price boost instead of the oppossite. Also you seem to be "tech inclined" so that's why I want to understand your position.

If someone else has a long list of BTC addresses linked it is very useful to know the total sum of BTC linked. For some reason, transition bot only shows the balance of each addresses, not the total.

You could use an spreadsheet, but I have made a simple script that I think is easier.

First copy the list of linked BTC and balances from Transition Bot chat.
Paste it into a file.

and then just run:

cat file | awk '{ sum+=$2; } END { print "Total Linked BTC: " sum " - You will receive " sum/16 "GB in next round"; }'

That way you can check out if the total sum is equal to the expected balance of your whole wallet.

Of course if you only have a couple linked BTC addresses this is completely unneeded, but for a long list it might come useful.

YOu are missing the point. They do not try to reinvent the wheel. They just want people to give them absurd amounts of money for THEIR wheel concept. Or for their posing as they have plans to think about a better wheel. Or for... anyway, the wheel is unimportant here, it's all for the money.

I don't know about NXT. But I have go on my analysis on random ICO's....

Let's see now Monaco... It's basically another bitcoin/ethereum debit card, something like Xapo. The funny thing is that the ICO is currently now on progress. Atm they have got around 50 million$ in ETH.... Yep, 50 million dollars for launching a debit card.... SOmething that could be done with much less than 1 million. Oh, and the ICO haven't finished yet...

I remember the time when the LUCKY startups that convinced some VC, got a few hundred thousands to take off, then some more AFTER hitting roadmap milestones, etc etc....

But now we have crowdsales that give the founders as much money as if they already invented the next Google... without not even a PoC.

Oh, and what to say about that board members... tens of them needed for a single stupid idea that needs almost no development? Really? And do investors need to pay some salary to them all?

I am thining about launching my own ICO. I will name it ScamICO (SICO) and I am sure it will be a fucking disaste, because, unlike the rest, I will be the only one delivering exactly as promised. Mmhhhh, on second second I wouldn't be surprised if some people handed me a few millions without even reading the name. Maybe I should do it... Anyone on board?

I am not so sure about that. In fact, yesterday I had a thought: What if 21century was the last one in which PM's had any value? I mean.... times are changing... and there are other stuff that we have been reliying upon for centuries that finally get rid of for a better alternative.

I know, I know, PM's have had value since milleniums ago... but the tech society that is beginning could change many of those ancient customs.

Well, maybe I am wrong and there's still some decades of value left on those PM's but... If I were heavily invested into it I would start diversifying right now. Real state, cryptocurrencies, whatever.... some hedging never hurts.

Plus, almost anything would give you a better ROI than PM's anyways, so what's to lose?

Don't do it. Remenber "the markets can be irrational much longer than you can remain solvent".

Only one time I shorted ETH and I was extremely lucky I closed my short on time. It is now more than double than when I shorted it.

Cryptocurrencies are an asymetrical gamble. When you go long you know how much you can lose on the worst case. Shorting? I have seen shitcoins going 100x in almost no time. Risky business.

Why? We are at beginning of the week.

They know they can't pull that trick indefinitely, in fact they knew that from the beginning. Jihan BU is a fan of game theory, let's just hope he is also a good practitioner and do the right decision at the right TIME.

What does that mean? Is it some sort of english joke or something?

Yes, it looks like value investing is worthless here. Probably that primalbase shit will be get a good pump because of the people behind it. I mean, none of them have any practical espertise in real state investments, they are all "ethereum specialists" but the name, the idea, the people sound good so maybe it is something stupid people will buy like crazy. I would never invest in anytthing like that as a real business, but maybe I can throw some spare FIAT into it and exit in the middle of the expected (?) pump for more BTC.

NOw there's that other ICO by Vinny Lingham, Civic... the idea is ok.... but the numbers? So they expect to get $33 million for 33% of the coins.... that means $100 million for a fucking simple "identity verification blockchain"? Something that could be done with just 1 million.... But we are gambling, not really investing in real business, so.... ok, maybe another little bit of change into it....  I am starting to feel like in Las Vegas now

If you are talking about Bitstamp breaking $3000 it will probably happen much sooner. In a couple hours deposits will start to be credited.

ATH @ BITSTAMP

I use the Ledger Wallet. It has three fee recomendations, fast, standard and slow. I always chose fast until yesterday. For fast it was a 2.19€ fee, for standard 1.70€, for slow i don't remember. I chose standard, so 1.70€. The confirmation hapened in around 1 hour, maybe even a little more. It has been the first time I have experienced such a big delay. It's not such a big deal but yes, even if I think most people are exaggerating their issues I must conclude it is a shame.

Bitcoin needs to solve its scaling problem NOW. Not only because of the fees, but because I am sure the price would have SKYROCKETED if it had been solved already.
