Official Bitcoin Thread

I thought point of Craigslist was to meet up and do cash transactions

It doesnt always have to be cash. I bought a phone from someone some years ago and paid with paypal (if i remember correctly)

read up on a few pages of NT this morning and setup a coinbase account

i'm on this train boyz

I send usd money to kraken through wire and there i can buy a few different (the big 3, dash, xmr, ripple, etc.)

for the other stuff i then send some coins to binance

Kraken is down a lot of the time so it can be frustrating when you want to put in orders.

Kraken is only in USD?

you can also send your wire in CAD. Just make sure your intermediary bank won't change it to JPY or USD, because they will eat you with the exchange rate.

But once your money is on Kraken, you'll have to change it to USD for a few crypto. I don't know their rates but I can get market rate here so I prefer to have control and change it here to USD before I send it to the platform.
 
Tried to send my money from Coinbase to binance and it is lost in cyberspace somwhere, or does it always take a long time?

I've experienced a couple of hours at the most for a transfer but have heard others experiencing a couple of minutes to a couple of days according to the Reddit gang.
 
I hope I did it right. I went to Binance and it made that QR code for you to send money to, copied that, then went to Coinbase and went to send, paste that in the address and selected all my BTC. It shows as sent/pending in Coinbase and not at all in Binance

edit: Ok it made it through but Gold damn those "network fees" just negated any purpose of doing this.

My transfer just took three days so you should be good.
 
Then it's pending/needs more confirmations in the blockchain

For future ref....transfer to GDAX to get a free withdrawal from coinbase
 
Eth is lightyears quicker to transfer. Been doing that lately.
litecoin, ethereum, and tons of other coins are faster.

Bitcoin on lightning will improve all of this, and send the coin even further into the galaxy.

Just hold on tight boys, the games not over yet
