but those sites are the best for getting coins if you want to stay anon
if you are buying them
if you want to stay completely anon you just buy the parts to a mining rig and mine. then you can just sell and never have to really buy
@Deleted User must an account be created on Github in order to DL the ether wallet?
no
👍
just click on the blue one labled "Ethereum-Wallet-macosx-0-9-3.dmg"
Ok I'm trying to find that
Discord is on my tablet, I'm making the wallet on my laptop
@ArtairRose what do you think of CEX. io?
i used to use CEX but now i use cryptopia if i ever want to trade.
again tho. if you want to buy coins use any site you want. they still cant track you that way. if you want to sell coins do it using one of the local sites. you will get more money from doing it that way and the IRS wont come knocking on your door.
Would people here be interested in leading a voice chat on crypto sometime?
@Volkmom I'd be up for it.
I like Ethereum for all of the different uses it has. Have never found out any info about the actual Ethereum currency though. That whole project is an absolute mess of information
Very frustrating to find info you’re looking for
Any thoughts on Ripple?
Scroll up. Someone just mentioned it’s trash yesterday
@this_that5553 perfect, thank you
I'm on a slack with some friends of friends and some people there were discussing if it was a good idea to go into
although to be honest I just want to see if I can make a buck on it.
Yeah. Have you heard of Metal? It sounds similar to ripple
Ripple strategy is to only get in bed with financial institutions though. It’s actually smart to take advantage of them
@this_that5553 "Ripple strategy is to only get in bed with financial institutions though. It’s actually smart to take advantage of them" what does this mean?
On their website it explains that the ripple transfer network will only be accessible to financial institutions. Prob to avoid fraud etc. but it’s a smart move
Get the pre existing things to build up your coin
@this_that5553 thanks for the explanation?
I’m not an expert sorry. Just a random thought I had on it. Ripple is actually extremely convoluted. It’s a coin and a transfer network
lol sorry I didn't mean that question mark, I'm using a foreign keyboard @this_that5553 so a handful of keys are switched 😂 I mean thanks for the explanation!
What wallets and exchanges are you guys using?
ledger nano s, i usually buy on coinbase then xfer to bittrex
ripple has the most solid real business application to date tackling trillions in international bank transfers, offering a lower cost and more secure alternative to the SWIFT system
however
it has done this by being in bed with the banks
all the authorative ripple servers are owned by financial institutions. This means it's only distributed among banks, not among the public. However, this also is an advantage in the sense that it's reliably transactable for normal currencies.
Ripple also as far more units that bitcoin. It will be priced at parity with bitcoin around $3.20
I use coinbase for BTC<->USD
and bittrex for BTC <-> other currencies
I would recommend Bitcoin Cash (BCH) over Bitcoin atm
Ethereum is also a solid platform although a little pricey.
