Just stay away from Poloniex ! Did i mention that ?
Thanks for letting us know about Poloniex. I read your earlier message too, with the gory details... I opened an account with them a few weeks ago, but haven't completed the KYC procedure yet. Now I'm not sure I want to... |

Looks like I may be posting that CCMF meme soon...
Go BTC go!

So, small techie question. I'm on vacation and wanting to sell a bit of coin I picked up somewhere below 6k, but there is no way I'm doing that over some random hotel connection. I'm currently connected on my laptop, through my phone which is acting as a hotspot, on a danish mobile plan that works in most of the world. How safe would it be to access kraken this way, compared to a regular computer over a normal house connection?
It will be similar (in terms of security) as if you had your laptop connected to your home's Wi-Fi. I don't think you need to worry about accessing Kraken by using your phone as a hotspot. I've done the same thing in various countries using various mobile operators (while roaming). If you trust your laptop, all is good. |

I want to post a CCMF meme, but can't (because of the slight drop).
Come on BTC...

What if you temporarily can't recall the PIN and you've lost the seed?
then you're stupid and you deserve to lose the coins. you shouldn't put one satoshi into it until your seed is backed up to hell and back. Well, the part about backing up the seed I fully agree with, but temporarily forgetting the PIN can happen, even to the smartest people. if you forget the pin, recover the device with your seed and chose a new pin  Well, this is an advantage of the Ledger (stricter security), so long as one makes absolutely sure he can have access to the seed (which he/she should). TREZOR gives you a few more chances (for a while), then shuts you out. |

So if this is true then it's possible to hack/crack a Trezor?   I'm not so sure having such a physical device is actually a good idea regardless. You can be sure that anyone you see owning a Trezor has probably got crypto. Just a random dude with a computer not necessarily so /most probably not. They fixed that hole in f/w ver. 1.5.2. As for the potential for future holes, it's always going to be there. It's still far better than a paper wallet though. With a paper wallet everything is out in the open, just a photo of your private key QR code and your coins are lost. With a TREZOR a thief needs to jump through many hoops to have some hope of getting to your keys. It took that guy 1.5 years to get access to his coins. I'm very happy with my ledger nano s. It would wipe the device after the 3rd failed PIN attempt. Also there is no known exploit (fixed or unfixed) right now unlike trezor The Ledger Nano S is a good choice. But this thing you mentioned about the device wiping itself after the 3rd failed PIN attempt would have me worried... What if you temporarily can't recall the PIN and you've lost the seed? You'll then lose access to your coins forever, even if you later remember the PIN. If that guy in the Wired story had a Ledger Nano S he would have lost access to his coins forever. I think the way TREZOR deals with the PIN is smarter and gives the owner the chance to try several times, with a geometrically increasing delay between retries, to the point where at some point it essentially locks him out. |

WOW indeed! Good that the guy persisted and didn't give up. Lesson learned: always, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS take Bitcoin security extremely seriously. Reading about how the guy handled this matter made me feel he almost deserved to lose access to his coins. The part about the orange paper and the pillow almost infuriated me. Bloody hell... |

ATH @ Kraken!
5311 €
Diz iz gentlemen!
False start to this rally, perhaps? 24 hours more of engine revving needed? Already broken! 5335 € now... I can't explain it, I just enjoy it... Great!!!! Wonderful!!!! But that is not the point of my question which may have been a slightly different topic regarding our seemingly pending and imminent rally, whether it is going to happen now, or take a bit longer to commence? Are we going to get to $6800 in the coming day or two or will it take us until next week before we arrive there? I believe it's going to take longer than a day or two to reach this value. People will sell. But as long as we get there, even if it takes a week, I'm happy. |

I wouldn't buy a Lambo even if I had $1 billion. I never liked these types of cars, or their drivers (usually)... I would REALLY like to have this though:  |

This is gentlemen indeed!  Go BTC go! |

There we go again... [5-minute candles, values are in EUR] |

I don't think a website called "anonymousconservative" is where I want to get my etymological and scientific definitions from  You could try Wikipedia, which defines the terms in pretty much the same way... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R/K_selection_theory |

Well, this is nerve-racking... Up and down and up and down again...
Without the stupid BCH/BTG/S2X forkathon, we could have already achieved 5-digit values. OTOH, maybe all this is a good thing. Let them come. The harder they hit, the stronger BTC becomes.
