Just 3 short yet important news for today.

Coinbase BTC Withdrawal Issues


Since they said they will not support BCC/BCH (Bitcoin Cash) people try to take out money from their website. Seems company wants to stop them as much as they can, users claim to have over 10h of waiting to get funds.

If you want to have your BCC save request withdrawals ASAP.

Multibit HD Wont Be Updated


I wrote some time ago how ive saved user of MHD here on Steemit, now seems they officialy decided to drop this wallet due to bugs and headaches. Move funds if you use them.

Something fishy going on on BTC-E. I would bet that they finished.

This is the reason why I've been using bitshares, the fastest (1.5 sec. average transaction) and safest (with collateral that controls the blockchain) decentralized exchange https://bitshares.org

What is bitshares? Is it an exchange?

Yes, but controlled from the blockchain, it is DECENTRALIZED

It's just me or the Bitshares platform looks extremely complicated? At least comparing with Exodus....

This is the reason why I've been using Bisq, the decentralized exchange that sits on your desktop. I wrote my experience and a guide on how to use it on my steemit post: https://steemit.com/decentralizedexchange/@kryptonizer/how-to-buy-sell-any-crypto-and-fiat-currency-on-a-true-decentralized-exchange

Check @kryptonizers post out. This makes a lot of sense and should be supported

yeh ok so the CIA didn't set up wikileaks to catch whistleblowers... - er ever heard of Chelsea/Bradley Manning? how did the CIA get the info? Wikileaks duhh

I think decentralized exchanges are indeed, the future. More and more adjustments will be made.

Oooh. Does Bitshares accept SBD? I haven't hit my first seven days yet but I'd like the option of more than just BlockTrades.

Very good idea, its always great to have more and better options-thanks

It was a nightmare, but I got my BTC out of Coinbase. Gave up and went to bed last night 17 hours and no confirmations. Woke up this morning and it was in my Trezor wallet thank goodness...

Coinbase is so bad in so many ways...

Back on July 27, 2017, it took about 3 hrs for the transaction to appear on the Bitcoin blockchain. So you just have to be patient. If it doesn't show up after 6+ hrs, then I'd be concerned.

Hopefully, Segwit helps to alleviate this type of network congestion. And then the 2 MB block increase in Nov should improve the transaction flow even more.

I'll sell you segwit coins for Bitcoin Cash coins

My friend has been waiting 18 hours. I helped someone else 8 hours ago and still pending. Safe to say it's time to be concerned.

Just transferred from Coinbase to Copay mobile wallet. Took me 22.5 hours to move my BTC. Not exactly confidence inspiring to say the least!

If I sold my truck for $9000 us dollars 💵 or 3.36 bitcoin would it take 6 hours to process the transaction? What if I meet a guy on the street and he had enough bitcoin, how long would that take? I need to set up Walet . @briandenver

then you ask for Dash not Bitcoin and it would take minutes :) or better yet steem

Thanks for the great reply I @briandenver will read your comments and articles then make my own comments about the other information that others have left. Up vote and follow thanks.

It didn't seem to matter (last night) which wallet I was transferring BTC from/to. It was oddly slow. The usual excuse of "the network is saturated" doesn't fly, though, because numerous blocks were far smaller than the typical "999827 bytes" (within a stone's throw of the 1MB maximum). If the miners were working non-stop full-tilt, then why were a sizable fraction of the blocks only 400k-600k? That implies that the mempool wasn't "full" (with backlogged transactions). Why else would a miner NOT pack more transactions into a block they're working? This was not limited to Coinbase. I had the same delays transferring from my Android wallet to Kraken, and from Coinomi wallet to Electrum.

Is this part of the reason why bitcoin value has been so volatile over the past week or two? I know people in Argentina and other South American countries are converting their wealth into bit coin to avoid the horrible effects of hyperinflation by their governments Fiat currency. Has this ever happened before? I can't imagine that coinbase Will have a very loyal customer base. @briandenver I have been thinking about buying bit coin but don't know which exchange to trust.

Are you referring to Bitcoin Cash? It didn't come out of nowhere - people have been asking for bigger blocks for years.

Glad to hear that. I love Trezor for the support they're giving BTC throughout this.

I am so glad I have a Ledger cold storage wallet throughout all of this.


http://www.FlippyCoin.com is the #1 Cryptocurrency Exchange!

Careful with the ads mate.

I wonder why Coinbase has taken the action they have. I would have thought they'd support both BTC and BCC and let the market decide which one was going to be dominant.

Probably so they don't have to make any code changes lol.

Yeah, but now they have an excuse to steal millions of dollars.

Nightmare with Coinbase. Good luck to those of you still trying to pull your BTC out.

When they announced they wouldn't support the fork I tried to pull some coin out, I couldn't. E-mailed support, never heard back. It's been almost a week. Today I tried to help someone else transfer their coins out, that was over 8 hours ago and the transaction is still pending. I used to recommend Coinbase, not anymore. They have a lot of work to do to make this mess right.

Idiots. That's how you cause a run on your exchange. The short-sighted greed of exchanges never ceases to amaze me. They could one day have a $100 billion business but many cheat and lie for the sake of a few hundred thousand.

This could easily be a war between the exchanges. Or should we all them exchangERs?
If these Bitcoin-Cash proponents are not making duplicates of their BTC for internal trading, they have nothing to lose and everything to gain by exposing the exchanges and wallets that are fractionally reserved.

Sure.

The "big day" is fast approaching and the systems are changing. I moved all I had out of Multibit a few months back and now solely use Exodus. Would actually like to hear your thoughts on that particular wallet.

Love your updates, brother. Thank you for everything.

Its great but it wont allow BCC split, i suggest Ethereum for this occasion since you have private keys access

I was a little concerned about that issue but most of my holdings are in Ethereum anyways. Still, may have to do just that and exchange all to Eth until the dust settles. Thanks for the advice, man. :)

I'm McLovin Exodus wallet, just on a usage basis. I can't say it's given me any issues. I like that I can exchange "within" the wallet, and they don't use Changelly.
I'm satisfied.

Totally agreed.

I just posted about coinbase and how it's the worst wallet/exchange out there. Love the article tho

yeah they always go down when theres some action

polo has to be a close second though. I made the comparison of the two of them being the comcast and time warner of crypto
