I'd also check out binance as an exchange, they have pretty low fees, not sure if more or less than poloniex

yea, much cheaper on binance it seems

.01%

I recommend converting to LTC as the transaction fees are cheaper. To clarify, there are exchange fees and transaction fees, recommending LTC for lower transaction fees and Binance for lower exchange fees. (nevermind I mentioned GDAX, deleted that part, extraneous info.)

Ok ty. I think my biggest issue at hand is getting coinbase to work for me

So today I am going to setup a mainstream bank account

I see, that should do the trick

I am hoping that is the only holdup

that's too bad about the fee fiasco :[

Can't wait to get on coinbase!!!!, you're welcome, localbitcoins!!!!!!!

Ugh, indeed

sounds like you are getting the hang of it though, hopefully smooth sailing from here

I lost a chunk messing with some weird wallets when I started

Good to hear, lmk if any other questions

Ty very much!

https://amp.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-price-explosion-wall-street-spends-bonuses-2018-1?__twitter_impression=true what do you guys think?

Even if that doesn't actually happen, could we meme a price rise into existance by spreading that article?

With coinbase, when using a bitcoin atm, does it use a qr code to recognize your account? Saw some videos that some work this way, curious on coinbase working the same?

@Deleted User that's the easiest way to do it (might be the only way for that particular ATM) in theory you could type in the whole wallet address if the ATM let's you. In practice though I would mention Bitcoin ATMs five pretty bad rates, very expensive to buy or sell Bitcoin with them

Thanks @ThisIsChris

Just bought my first masternode I'm pretty excited

Hey boys, the WorldCoinIndex just took off some Korean Exchanges from their website, so a lot of Cryptocurrency is DROPPING really hard right now. Just letting you guys know.

I sold all my ripple because of this, will buy some more when Ripple starts going up again.

Freedom isn't free

BTC has been a little funky since futures were introduced, as they've used paper gold to control physical gold for a long time it wasn't the greatest news. The hope is that some new crypto will keep popping up to act as a release valve for manipulation. And when Dimon says "government" he means Jews.

well, naturally

>all crypto will be government controlled
cant control all the nodes and cant break the code to take it away fast enough even with quantum processing speed. only thing to control is exchanges and even then the blockchain ISP will make that irrelevent. privacy coins will obfuscate it even more with ring signature.

that CEO doesnt know jack about the tech he is talking about.

the only way they can stop it now is by shutting down the grid which they wont do.

Who mines Monero here?

i do

just upgraded my setup too

thinking of moving some profits into mining

Don't have enough money to buy a dedicated mining rig, I've seen some people rig up USB coprocessors. Any info on that?

let me give you the skinny on mining. assuming the coin price stays stagnant you will make your investment back in about 1 year 3 months. however the coins always go up more than what they were a year ago, if you want to start mining a different coin because it has become more profitable it works just as well, the parts you buy will have a minimum age range of 5 years (really about 7-8).

have you heard of BURST?

nope

on the USB coprocessors, i dont think they are really that viable imo.

better to save up the 3k for a decent rig to put together
