I suffered a pretty bad cold the last 2-3 days.

Not sure if bitcoin price follows my health or the other way around.

I'm feeling a bit better today. Looking forward to tomorrow.


Good enough for me.

TO DA MOON!!!

Some TA expert claimed the moon affected bitcoin traders and the price, which I thought was bullshit. I noticed it was a full moon last night. Bitcoin crashed to a new low and Bitstamp got hacked! It's just a coincidence, right?

Looks about right  Smiley



The only problem is the candle of this week.... It's a clearly indicator of a bearish market. Probably the most bearish weekly candle in the history of Bitcoin, I coudln't find one similar.

Yup, its look like we're gonna test 135$ support

When do you predict this for?

From your description it sounds like the USA has been taken over by Hell's Grannies using extreme violence.

^^ Permabull getting despondent...  Bullish!   Grin

Its been holding fine for the last few weeks. It only looks bad if you were hoping for salvation from contrived derivatives like 'stockholm' and gbtc.



Newb mocking semi-newb's growing realisation the boat has sailed, hit the iceberg and is sinking. Bearish.

And you can always tell when the price hasn't done much for a while...a new strain of misogyny breaks out here....so old ladies are the latest target of bitcoinBile.  Classy.

Apparently, they are taking over the world.

Anyhew....

Admit it, you're here because you know this train is ready to leave the station. Choo Choo MF Style!!!

According to this thread they have taken control of the USA and China. The Chinese chapters of Hells Grannies apparently now control the price of Bitcoin. It's their fault the price hasn't done much for a while.

It's great to be able to short Bitcoin on so many exchanges.



That's strange, has the Kraken started testing margin trading at the same time that Poloniex started it up?

I think putting miners in work out equipment would be way better than toasters.

Harder you go the more you mined.
How about putting them in sex toys?

Pacemakers surely?

Putting them in pacemakers might be a bad idea. If you have a pacemaker fitted and die, the people who fitted it want it back. They cut it back out, and your relatives would probably lose any Bitcoins they might have inherited from its Bitcoin mining.

Price is still the same. Nothing to see here. Can someone shutdown the forum again?

Be fair, the price shot up by a few dollars then went back down again while the forum was offline. A few dollars change is a big deal compared to the completely flat prices we have been getting used to.

$1498

Why ? Troll ?

Sure

Strangely enough I expected him to be called a troll if he put $149.8 instead of $1498

Not so long ago people who as much as suggested Bitcoin could fall below $400 were called trolls.

Could the news that Blackbank may have exit scammed or been compromised affect the price?

It's a silk road type website and might have gone the same way as evoluion, with the admin stealing everyone's Bitcoins. I remember the price crashed after the evolution news got out into mainstream media.

cheap coin target was off by 1 cent, 235.00 was the low.


Did you wait to buy and miss out because you were waiting for it to go one cent lower?

I notice you have updated the poll to refer to your cheap coins target. Bitcoin's price should hit it sometime this week considering the wild price swings we have been getting of late.

Bitstamp is giving away a debit card to verified accounts. I ordered one.
I have no idea what I'm gonna do with it, but why the fuck not lol

Are the debit cards free to get, and free to use?

Is it easy to order them?  

Can you sell Bitcoins on Bitstamp and immediately spend the money using your debit card?

Insanely high 2500 BTC ask-wall on Finex @ 236.75....

Don't worry it's a fake wall

Definitely fake.  Obviously they are trying to scare sells into there buy orders at 236

There are people putting up massive walls on both buy and sell sides. They keep putting them up then pulling them back down again, but nothing's happening. If either side really meant it they would just start eating through a wall, not put up an opposing wall.

Not if it is the same person putting up both walls....

I hadn't considered that, perhaps a manipulator is deliberately putting up massive opposing walls to keep the price as steady as a rock for his own nefarious schemes.

Lol 26000 unconfirmed transactions. And blockchain.info is lagged like shit.

I think what's happening is other nodes are hanging onto 26,000+ old transactions while blockchain.info drops them after a certain amount of time, with only 5000 transactions, hence the discrepancy.

Where do you get the 26000 number?

I suspect many of the transactions will be considered spam or below the dust limit or whatever.

I'll be watching this guy's attempt to see if these transactions ever get accepted.
https://blockchain.info/address/12qLgVrkW561PbpfvokKwfj7CPjCVwwCTS

Are they paying the fees for those transactions, and how much is the combined total of fees paid? I assume the miners will ignore any transactions with no fees.

edit]

Block 358596 had fees of 0.4 Bitcoins. Spamming the Bitcoin network is not cheap.

Thanks for the link.

I heard black bank's probably done an exit scam like evolution, but couldn't find its market share. That linked page shows it had slightly over a quarter of evolution's market share.

I am very sadden that bitcoin is dead, and it's a shame I bought so much on the way down thinking it would eventually "bounce back" and make new highs, clearly this is never going to happen. time and money has been expired to no end. this is gentlemen.

There is so little happening that it seems like ChartBuddy's going to be the most active person in this thread today. All his posts will show exactly the same price for page after page.

We should take bets on how long it will be until something happens. Maybe in another few months.

Hmmmmm I had a feeling we'd get at least a 10 USD pump out of the Bitlicense news, literally nothing can move the price atm.
Bitcoin is becoming more stable than a lot of national currencies, over to you Greece.
HINT HINT!!!!!

Imagine if it continues going sideways at this price for a year. Everyone here will lose interest in it and the only new people to take an interest will be the most boring people on the planet.

Section 200.5 Application fees
As part of an application for licensing under this Part, each applicant must submit an initial application fee, in
the amount of five thousand dollars, to cover the cost of processing the application, reviewing application
materials, and investigating the financial condition and responsibility, financial and business experience, and
character and general fitness of the applicant. If the application is denied or withdrawn, such fee shall not be
refunded. Each Licensee may be required to pay fees to the Department to process additional applications
related to the license.


That should keep the little hopeful shrimp out of it!  Roll Eyes

HOW FUCKING DARE THIS GUY PREVENT THE LOWER HALF OF THE ECONOMY NOT EVEN TO HAVE A CHANCE.

I will not use ANY service that follows this shit.  Pack your bags and go to NJ or something.

Vi Va La Resistance!

Suppose you pay the five thousand dollars application fee and are approved. How much does the bitLicense cost excluding the five thousand dollars application fee? I doubt it's cheap enough to give the little shrimps a chance.

bitlicense is BIG, this is not some random pseudo mickey mouse news. bitcoin is taken serious by the fucking goverment. can't wait until it hits the mainstream media.

Those of us who have HODL'd & bought whilst the price has been low for so long will have a good laugh at all the bears drowning in debt as the price rises.
Your time is over bears, submit to the rise of bitcoin, mainstream adoption is just around the corner.
COIN ETF & Gemini Exchange next then moon.

Bro, if you don't mind, what is "Coin ETF" ?

Thanks  Smiley

An ETF is an exchange-traded fund, and the Coin ETF is a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund that the Winklevoss twins are trying to set up. I's a fund intended to hold Bitcoins which it represents as shares. You buy and sell the shares which are backed by Bitcoins.

An ETF removes the risks of holding Bitcoins for big traders and is insured.

The Winklevoss twins have been trying to get regulatory approval for over a year. They have applied to a government body called the SEC, and will probably also apply for a bitLicense.

Mr. Buffett basically says to buy "low" when everyone has panic sold or is panic sellling (also called "blood in the streets") and to sell when everyone is buying (near end of a hype cycle).


Hmmm ... we moved $1 on BitLicense  ... is this the top of the hype cycle or we need to wait another 50c ? Tongue

It peaked at 227, this is the panic selling phase and you should be buying like crazy at 226.6. Wait until the next peak at 227 to dump, but you'll have to be patient because it will probably take another week.  Grin

Hopefully they say they are moving their business out of NY. Tongue

Still thinking we see a bit of a bump this evening.

Don't they have to wait for SEC approval for the ETF? Are they considering opening the Gemini exchange before the ETF?

If they are I suppose it will take quite some time to process their application for a bitLicense.

I would think they are releasing Gemini first in order to have a way to provide liquidity to the ETF. Please correct me if I'm way off (and not by just saying I'm way off).

I haven't got a clue, but the bitLicense has taken so long to arrive that I'm dubious about how fast they will process applications for it. I suspect it might be at a snails pace, although I'm only guessing.

If they say the process costs 5k there's obviously a bit of work involved. I would be surprised if we saw it approved before sep-oct. But it looked like you can run your business while you're waiting for the application to be processed (I just can't find where I read that atm).

The license text says businesses must apply within 45 days, and can carry on operating until they are either refused or given a license.

Quote
A Person already engaged in Virtual Currency Business Activity must apply for a license in accordance with
this Part within 45 days of the effective date of this regulation.  In doing so, such applicant shall be deemed in
compliance with the licensure requirements of this Part until it has been notified by the superintendent that its
application has been denied, in which case it shall immediately cease operating in this state and doing business
with New York State Residents.

I think that I'll dump Gavincoins and hoard the good coins.

well then, have fun using a broken blockchain, constantly getting 51%'ed  and spammed.

if you're lucky the chain will be so weak that poeple won't see it as a threat and won't bother attacking it.

If there is a war then which one will chartbuddy display? I assume he'll display whatever the three exchanges use, but will they all use the same client version? Will one of them be using a version with a broken blockchain, constantly getting 51%'ed  and spammed? Will it keep showing no trades while the other two exchanges look normal?

What is the Chinese panic ?

I'm not sure, but I know they don't wake up until about another four hours. If they wake up and find the price has dropped they might start panic dumping and make the price crash further. I know that horrible feeling when you wake and find out the price went down while you slept.

What is "Four Punch Raiders" and why the coming 48 hours are critical ?

billyjoeallen invented the term and attempts to explain it in the post quoted below, although I don't think his explanation is very clear.

Quote from: billyjoeallen on February 14, 2015, 09:40:06 PM
Where did this originate? Who are they? Anyone know anything?

It's a term I made up to describe the tactics some one or group uses to maximize returns using loss aversion psychology.  there has been a pattern that has repeated five times now in the last fourteen months:

1) crash/bounce
2) stutter step
3) spike/short squeeze
4) second bounce at much higher level


thennnn....crash, bounce, rinse and repeat.

We are getting close to the short squeeze.

Most people lose money when day trading, although the price is now so stable it's difficult to lose or make any money.

A few months ago there used to be wild price swings in short spaces of time that you could lose/make money off, but they seem to have stopped. Now the price is plain boring.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still sideways I see, as caffeine-requiring as ever.

Yawn.

The sideways movement has made things a lot less stressful recently. No more waking up and despairing or feeling elated because the price has jumped up or down in your sleep. In some ways it's quite nice to know you can go to sleep, then wake up and find out absolutely nothing has happened.

I thought Kobayashi's deadline for MtGox's creditors to apply had already expired. Do you mean a different deadline? Is there any kind of date when people might start getting paid back what they are owed?

There will be a final creditor meeting in september I believe. If the decision is to return btc as btc BTC202k will be made available through Kraken. That could result in incredible selling pressure as those coins spread to more liquid exchanges.

In that case we are lucky the price is currently stable and nobody is panicking yet. I heard something like the Japanese legal system might require the MtGox coins to be sold and money returned to the creditors instead of Bitcoins. Has that legal question been resolved now?

What are those huge random buys every once in a while on Finex these days!? It just looks as if someone knows something... The bid side is also fatter than most times.

I noticed brief spikes a few times today on finex, but the bids didn't follow them and the price quickly crashed down after each buying spike. It's like someone was attempting to pump the price but failing.

So. Grexit. Is it gonna happen?

I'm rooting for it. We need a warrior people in the world.

I hope so as well.  If Mr. Tsipras agrees to a deal, even a modified one, it will signal that he is simply another pawn (member? slave?) of the EU Oligarchy that will do everything in their power to get their way.  Being leveraged something like 30:1 in Greek debt, the EU Oligarchy doesn't want to have to start unwinding *any* existing assets/liabilities to pay for a haircut.

If a deal to stay in the Euro happens, I think the Greek people will be pissed.

It sounds like he has agreed to almost everything the EU Oligarchy wanted, including pension cuts and tax increases. Only 5 of his party MPs have decided to vote against him. I think it depends on getting it past the German parliament now. There's a chance for an agreement, but we'll have to wait until Sunday to find out what happens.

So nobody jumping into Bitcoin from the recent global stock market crash?
But everyone sells because some guy on the internet releases a different version of the bitcoin client?
& Litecoin is not rallying before the halving in 2 days?
 Huh
Understanding this market is hopeless.
1)stock market crash is deflationary/risk off , bitcoin is high-risk, so my reading is a stock market crash is bad for bitcoin until it gets so bad that people either start fearing counterparty risk, or believe a new QE round is guaranteed.

2)"some guy" is showing a serious divide in the community

3) litecoin halving has been hyped for months now
Only 2 days remaining, and ltc is frozen

Dogecoin crashed after its pre-halving pump, although everything else did because Bitcoin crashed. It still makes me wonder of Litecoin might crash after all the halving hype is over. If it does I really hope Bitcoin doesn't follow the same pattern after its halving.

China Scrambles To Enforce Capital Controls (Which Is Great News For Bitcoin)

Care to explain how capital controls are good for Bitcoin?  

Plenty of Bitcoin exchanges in China. Buy your coins. Send abroad. Sell elsewhere and store them in your offshore accounts. Millions of Chinese folks have overseas arrangements and there's not much or anything they can do to stop bitcoin transfers. Maybe that'll change if it happens in large numbers.

How do Chinese people buy Bitcoins today?

Their government stopped them depositing money into exchanges through bank transfers. Afterwards people started buying vouchers which they could exchange for Bitcoins, but their government attempted to stop that too. I don't know how they buy Bitcoins today.

Capital controls are meant to work for exporting money outside of the county. Since the Chinese will deposit money directly to a Chinese company's account, that's being taxed for every transaction, it's perfectly legal.

Please be specific.  Which "Chinese company's account"?
Exactly how will that be done, considering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_bitcoin_by_country#China ?

AFAIK quite a lot of BTC are mined by Chinese miners.

The Chinese government banned direct bank transfers to exchanges, and banned vouchers with recharge codes from third-party payment services providers. I don't think it's easy to buy directly from miners there because financial institutions and third-party payment services providers are banned from dealing with bitcoin business.

http://cointelegraph.com/news/111753/legal_basics_bitcoin_in_china

Quote
The ban issued by PBOC which prevents all the third-party payment service providers to deal with bitcoin business is still valid. Some banks still have a tough attitude towards Bitcoin. Many people still think bitcoin is a scam, over-speculated, high-risky or crime-related.”

In the notice released by PBOC last year, it was stated that bitcoin could be legally traded in the form of a commodity. At the same time, bitcoin exchanges were required to register their clients ID and add supervision for money-laundering. It was believed that the notice and the following actions admitted bitcoin's legal status, yet meanwhile prohibited financial institutions and third-party payment services providers from dealing with bitcoin business.

The attitude of the authority has changed since the beginning of this year. Some banks shut down the account of bitcoin exchanges, while recharge code from third-party payment services providers is also banned. At the same time, other officials from PBOC, including some bureau chiefs, wrote essays to criticize bitcoin, claiming that it is not a currency and does not function as a currency.

A. I'd indulge you to read the article here.
B. Busted. I don't live in China. I live in Greece and judge from my own country what the capital controls look like.
C. Are you suggesting that the article is wrong or you're just in denial with the concept? I don't follow. Please enlighten me.

I think most of the facts in the article look correct.

However I'm not sure if this quoted speculation it concludes with is correct because from what I understand the Chinese government has made it difficult to buy Bitcoins in China. The Chinese government will do everything it can to stop money leaving the country through Bitcoin or any other means now its economy is crashing. Its already banned bank transfers to Bitcoin exchanges, and buying vouchers to purchase Bitcoins with.

Quote
if a few hundred million Chinese decide that the time has come to use bitcoin as the capital controls bypassing currency of choice, and decide to invest even a tiny fraction of the $22 trillion in Chinese deposits...

... in bitcoin (whose total market cap at last check was just over $3 billion), sit back and watch as we witness the second coming of the bitcoin bubble, one which could make the previous all time highs in the digital currency, seems like a low print.

Why would the miners not sell their BTC directly for USD (on any exchange), instead of selling it to other Chinese people, who, in turn, would sell it for USD (thus bypassing capital controls)?  How would the latter create greater demand for BTC?

Edit: And how exactly would the miners (as in large-scale "business") sell BTC to (Chinese) individuals?  Would that not change their legal standing? (genuinely not sure)

Like I said, they have local costs to cover. If they can get a premium for selling in local currency there's a profit in selling at least enough to cover their running expenses for CNY.

As for legal standing, I'm as clueless as you are. The Wikipedia article you linked states banks and financial institutions are prohibited from transacting in BTC. A miner is hardly a bank, but what constitutes a financial institution, I can't say. Like I said, miners would likely be wary of irritating the state - even if they are allowed to sell BTC to the public now that might easily change.


The zerohedge story says when Xi Jinping came to power he clamped down on the Macau currency control loophole, and many others. The story shows a chart of the Macau GDP crashing after his clamp down, which coincidentally matches the Bitcoin crash starting last summer to last Christmas. The two things might be unrelated but there is at least one Bitcoin ATM in Macau.

I doubt the Chinese miners would take the chance of bringing on the wrath of the Chinese government by selling BTC to the public after witnessing what happened to Macau.


Quote
To be sure, this practice was greattly limited when Xi Jinping came in power and enacted substantial reforms which limited much of this grotesquely open flaunting of Chinese capital account rules. Indirectly, this has led to the recent collapse in Macau GDP - whose businesses no longer booked billions in fake "transactions" - as shown in the chart below:

The poll looks kind of sad now. It needs a top figure of 440 at a minimum. 540 sounds more reasonable now. It's rocketing up so fast the poll will probably need updating every day, otherwise the price will have left it behind. Maybe it should include a thousands top figure, not one in the hundreds.

In autumn 2014 the price rose to about 420 then crashed. That makes it a point of resistance because people still remember it. A parabolic rise can't continue indefinitely, it has to start heading downwards somewhere and points of resistance often herald the start of a down trend. It could go either way here.

So let me get this straight:

It can go up - or down



amazing.

also, it could go sideway - people always forget that one.

Yes it could go up, down, or sideways from here (but it has to go up or down eventually after going sideways). The next 24 hours are critical, unless it goes sideways for three months, in which case the next three months are critical.

To be honest I don't think it'll happen...right now. Seems we need to retest 300 or upper 2xx again before the next big move up. Either way, it will happen by the end of the year.

edit: probably the end of the month

The move up looks suspicious to me. I think it could crash back down again, but if it can stay above 330 for another day then it might be bullish. It's already wavering above and below 330 so traders aren't sure what it's going to do yet. I'm going to observe it and not make any panic decisions.

If you're not day trading, then keep your coins in your wallet.

There is a maximum guaranteed withdrawal time of 12 hours on Bitfinex. Most of the time withdrawals are processed immediately, but I found my withdrawal took hours not so long ago. I really needed the coins, and was kept waiting and waiting. In the end I gave up and went to sleep. The next morning my withdrawal was through, but you can't rely on a fast Bitfinex withdrawal when getting your coins off the exchange.

Rippletrade is being shut down in early 2016 at a date yet to be determined. There is about a month to get your XRPs, Bitcoins, and fiat out of your rippletrade wallet. They announced it about half a day ago, and ripple's been crashing ever since. This time last year ripple had been pumped up six times its starting price, a year later and it's dying.

The silly high ask wall on Stamp seems like someone's trying desperately to keep the price from rising. We all know that it could be pulled just in time for a big pump. Or not.

Did you notice the huge spike down to the 2550s CNY on btcchina earlier today? Sometimes those spikes come before a proper dump down to their lowest level, sometimes not. Whatever the case the bitstamp wall and the btcchina spike make me think a huge move will soon happen.

Good morning Bitcoinland. Seems I missed a little drama last night.

I leave to go out for Saturday night with the price hovering around  $440, make it home this afternoon and it's $436. That's not surprising.

What is surprising is that it went all the way up to $451 and then all the way down to $428 before ending right back where it was yesterday.

Meanwhile some people around here are acting as if the price had crashed. NLC is posting Tinkerball pix and Abercrombie is asking if crypto is dead.

Silly little bears. Sigh.



It's those terrifying lines going straight down on the charts that cause all the panic. I found it less stressful ignoring the charts and checking the price in digits once in a while. Watching a vertical line on a chart rapidly going lower and lower is too nerve wracking for me, and it's no wonder it starts people panicking.

Walk away and the price usually goes back up quite quickly.

I can't remember any other time with more exposure except for the pump to $1100.

I understand having 1 trillion GBP to sell, but where do they find USD to buy 1 trillion GBP? Last time I checked their foreign reserves were something like a few hundred billion.

I don't know, but the pound has had its second big crash in a week, and there are forecasts it could go down to $1.20. Bitcoin jumped up at the same time the pound crashed, and I doubt it's a coincidence. If the pound crashes further there could be further big jumps up for Bitcoin later this week.

The ECB has refused the Monte Dei Paschi Di Siena bank extra time to raise money to avoid bankruptcy. That means the bank will have to be bailed-in with some of its own depositors money before the Italian government can give it any bailout money. The EU rules won't let a state bail out a bank before its had a bail-in. A bank bail-in will be bullish for Bitcoin, and it's on the cards.

$1000 is only a bit above 7000 CNY. The Chinese probably tended to 7000 CNY, a bit below $1000, then the west probably pumped it a bit more because it tends to $1000.

Little or no mention of this? Bitfinex suing Wells Fargo for USDT silliness. I can't say it was an idea that I would've entrusted a vast amount to.

Good luck to Finex. Well-Fargo are slimy motherfuckers. Let's hope they get a fair trial.

Regardless, with time, cryopto is going to destroy institutions like that. They will be made redundant soon enough.


Someone claiming to represent bitfinex made a posted on reddit explaining why they are suing. If bitfinex wins other banks might stop victimising Bitcoiners and Bitcoin exchanges. There's countless threads about delayed wires to/from exchanges. If the courts force the banks to stop closing accounts and delaying wires it might help increase adoption and Bitcoin's price. I hope other exchanges start suing the banks.

I will post here what I said there in /r/bitcoin

Hi, this is Chris from Bitfinex, funds are not frozen. Bitfinex does not bank with Wells Fargo who are simply acting as a correspondent bank. They have chosen to block wire transfers between us and our customers which we are challenging in court. We can comment at more length later but I just wanted to clear up any potential FUD.

If you have any questions about USD withdrawals you can contact us at support. We will be able to say more later once we have a ruling.

Oh man, I get it now. You are mats new account. Exact same spiel.

Nah. He's far too clubbable and lacks the victimisation to be anywhere near being him.


I thought MatDerKater was mat's new account because he posts in mat's thread and writes like mat.

Is there a reason for the pump up to $1270+ besides the bitfinex withdrawals problems? The price has been quite stable lately, and this thread's been quiet. That's usually a sign of an impending big price movement.

Ho-Ho we're moving up again.
Well that's nice but I doubt it will push us much further.Just another upwards swing, which a downwards swing will follow imo.
No reason to moon at the moment.
But the day will come.And then we're going to surpass moon easily!

Any idea why the ETF decision gets reviewed?
Maybe this is the reason we moved up? Buy the rumor?


BZX asked for a review and this was the SEC's reply.

Quote
"Pursuant to Rule 431 of the Rules of Practice,11 BZX's petition for review of the Disapproval Order is granted. Further, the Commission hereby establishes that any party to the action or other person may file a written statement in support of or in opposition to the Disapproval Order on or before May 15, 2017."

No doubt Stolfi will make another written statement in opposition to the ETF. There's no point in him bothering because the SEC is only granting a review for the sake of appearances. It's already made its decision.

I don't think the SECs review is the reason we are moving up.

Ok guys, I have finally got my free CLAMS, so it was for real. Got 28 CLAMS for the six addresses I could find that were applicable. That's around 100€... Free money I love it Smiley

Btw, I used Just-Dice to do the claim as gentleman posted, after trying several times to sync the clam wallet to no avail.

So.... what other shitcoins can I get for free?

Sign a message from your bitcoin address for the byteball distribution. You will get a small drip feed of coins at the full moon of each month provided you don't move your bitcoins.

I second this. There's also Bitcore which you can redeem instantly. Can't remember when the snapshot was taken but you get the equivalent in BTX that you had in BTC at that moment.

Stellar is doing a giveaway of 16 billion thingies based on BTC balances on June 27th.

Does Stellar still want KYC stuff like passport scans this time around? I had no intention of providing personal details like that necessary to claim the last snapshot giveaway I heard of.

No idea. Did they do that last time? That's not very sexy.


Full moon of each month? Jesus Christ, not that I am complaining about free coins... but this is getting weirder any time.

Yes. I think there are a few distribution rounds left. Maybe another 4-6 months or so.



After a quick check I found they want facebook identification proof this time around. Either that or you have to put your bitcoins on an exchange in their list. I suppose facebook identification's better than passport scans.

Participating exchanges (we’ll update this list as exchanges contact us):

Kraken
BTC38
Poloniex
Deribit

Now for the part we’re less excited about.

If you’re not using an exchange, then law requires us to ensure you’re not on the U.S. sanctions list or located in any of the restricted jurisdictions listed above. We’re using Facebook account verification to complete this check.

We know this kind of sucks. Privacy is a top concern for the Bitcoin ecosystem. Stellar.org won’t use your Facebook data for any other purposes and will never post to your account. If you’d rather not share your Facebook information, you can still go through a participating exchange.

So they want whales to put thousands of coins on Poloniex? That's a jolly tempting offer. With a seemingly unliftable withdrawal limit it'll only take them a few months for the honour of getting their own coins back.

One of the exchanges on their list is btc38, which is Chinese and probably won't let you withdraw your bitcoins after you've deposited them, not even at the rate of poloniex's slow drip feed.

I see another ATH after an $80 correction.

I love this kind of growth.

I see $2300 soon.

I have downloaded the byteball wallet and chatted with that strange bot, I sent it the signed message but it keeps insisting on me having send 0.001166 BTC to some address. Is that how it is or I am doing something wrong?


Hmm. You shouldn't have to pay anything if you've signed successfully. Did it confirm that you did?

It requires either a successful signing or that BTC fee.

A message alone should be OK.

Ask for help in the byteball thread.
