There are many non meme trains you could ride. If you legit think apple and ms wouldve been good investments you are retarded and know nothing about finance.

Check the news not the charts fagget.

What is the safest website for buying ETH

I don't want to get mt. gox'd again

I would suggest staying away from chart chasing. Instead you should read about the tech itself.

Right now Ethereum is in its infant stages. Soon you're going to see a updated version called Homestead which includes more ways to develop for the platform. They'll be moving from proof of work concepts to proof of stake. You should read up on that as well.

There are some big players who have shown interest in developing on Ethereum's network, namely Samsung and Microsoft. All of that stuff is in their initial stages.

Finally, you should realize that Ethereum isn't really a currency like other cryptos. ETH has value like they do, but only out of necessity. Ethereum's purpose is as a decentralized computing platform for smart contracts and shared, trustless ledgers.

TL;DR: get in on it for its potential and don't worry about what chart chasing crypto day traders say about where the line on their screen is going.

>>1108008

This guy gets it, its a long hold just like Bitcoin minus the crash when everyone realized it was actually useless and flawed. Remember, you're only buying Ether, the currency to buy computation time on the decentralized komputah. Ether is not Ethereum. You can't buy Ethereum.

>>1108004
pls respond

>>1108017
I thought about making an app that utilizes ether, what's the advantage of using it during frontier as opposed to homestead?

>>1108017
>somebody hacks or breaks the super computer
>ETH becomes worthless

So the whole idea is that ETH gives you time on a super computer?

That's fucking retarded. Why does a JS dev need a supercomputer? And who is building this super computer?

>>1108032
>I don't know what decentralized means

>>1108028
Poloniex

>>1108028
Kraken or polo, not relevant if you store ether in wallet for long term.

>>1108032

>hack the supercomputer
>hack ethereum
>Why does a JS dev need a supercomputer? And who is building this super computer?
>building this supercomputer
>building

You are beyond mentally disabled.

>>1108033
Sounds like another pump and dump meme coin 2bh. Literally litecoin 2.0

>>1108040
Then don't buy it lol

Ethereum is the tech

Ether is just a shitcoin add on to Ethereum tech

Chances are Ether will go to shit ($0) like the rest of the shitcoins as Ethereum continues to develop and maybe new Ether + Bitcoin 2.0 pops up

>>1108063

Ethereum works on the fact that ether has value. Part of what makes it secure is that any malicious code would be cost prohibitive to run.

>>1108040

>'decentralized' is a coin

Please, just turn off your router and hang yourself.

>>1108063

>Ether will go to shit ($0) like the rest of the shitcoins as Ethereum continues to develop

>The tech will increase in value while the only currency which can run the tech will be worthless

Wew lad. Nice to see this board is full of logical, smart business people.

OP was right to go all in

>>1108028
Get the ether with btc on shapeshift and build your own wallet.

>>1108004
Kraken??? Probably???

I can't believe there are still people who haven't bought ETH that post on this board.

>>1109645
>mfw every time I load up poloniex I have more money than last time

feels good familio

the thing is there are so many more eth to be mined

even if it somehow matches btc current market cap it'll be at a value of $60 a coin, which is a formidable increase but hardly exponential, and we all know it won't happen because of institutionalized investor distrust in btc

it's really looking like dogecoin all over again, it doesn't bring any new value to the table

is there any way i can short this

>>1109662
Yes every exchange offers shorting. You are welcome to throw your money away.

>>1109664

What you fail to understand is that nobody is holding this thing for long term gains so at a certain threshold (probably $10) it will get massively dumped. There is no intrinsic value in the coin like there is in btc or for instance a security so investors have no incentive to hold it

HEY KIDS ARE U INVESTING UR LIFESAVINGS INTO THIS IMAGINARY CURRENCY THAT IS NOT BEING BACKED BY ANY BANKS, NO COUNTRIES, NOTHING?

>>1109669
What you fail to understand is everything about cryptocurrencies and ethereum in particular.

Stay poor.

>>1109671
>can't breath air because its not backed by a bank or government

Good goy rating A++

>>1109678


>investing in oxygen

Kill yourself

>>1109669

>What you fail to understand is that nobody is holding this thing for long term gains

That's the only fucking thing its good for you clueless retard. You're the only one here chart chasing.

I breath pure Ether. Oxygen is what poor people breath.

>>1109685

I dunno why but I kekd.

>Ethereum going to the moon
>Bitcoin shitting the bed, thus decreasing Ethereum's worth
Damned dependent currency

>>1109662
>we all know it won't happen because of institutionalized investor distrust in btc

except microshit and IBM are already on board with eth

>it's really looking like dogecoin all over again, it doesn't bring any new value to the table

it's /literally/ a new paradigm? its not even a coin

>>1109693
>paradigm

nice buzzword

>>1109697

the literal definition applies

>>1109697
Might have been a buzzword when it was first used in ancient fucking greece.

>>1109682

but it's a big meme
where is the value coming from dipshiterino
the value is literally from the meme

>it's a new paradigm!!!!

6.25 USD now, its happening

I'm not sure how to feel about 0,015 BTC Ether with bitcoin at 405 USD

>>1108032
no, the "computer" is basically every ethereum node running your code in parallel

>>1109719
Bitcoin is at $426

>>1109723
On live exchanges it's at 400

>>1109724
Which?

>>1109730
Poloniex

>>1109736
Oh, buttcoin is $30 cheaper on polo than everywhere else?!

Weird

you guys realize trust fund kids and arab princes manipulate these markets for fun right? Ethereum is a meme. You're taking a slightly -EV bet by buying into this shitcoin. As soon as you think a solid uptrend has developed the whales sell into the buy walls, making a quick 20% return on their multi million dollars investment. Buy support then vanishes and price collapses again.

>>1109753
Nice fairy story you just pulled out of your ass

>>1109753
pump n dumps shitcoins dont have a strong 1/6 trading volume and growing of BTC for this long. I bought thousands of ether when it was less then $2 and now its at $6.5
no coiners stay poor

>>1109793

dogecoin

>>1109793
How much higher do you expext it to go?

>>1109719
>>1109741
Perfect time to buy Bitcoin for cryptocurrency-newfags that are willing to invest in Ether.

Buy the bitcoin now, and while you:

are reading and learning about Ether and how to use it,
Creating all the wallets and shit,
Waiting for verifications to complete on Kraken (exchangers)

...By the time you have done all that ,the Bitcoin (that has been waiting in your BTC Wallet) has probably already gone from 400USD back to ~425USD

>>1109793
>tfw couldn't buy during price drop due to verification issues

>>1109796
litecoin always had higher trading volume then doge, check out the market cap historical snapshots. Rn ethereum is 10x LTC voume

>>1109800
So if you decided to invest *($400) in cryptocurrency:

a) you bought * worth of BTC while the price was 1BTC=425USD

You would have 0.9xxx Bitcoins ready to invest in ETH

b) you bought * worth of BTC while the price was 1BTC=400USD

You would have 1.0 Bitcoin ready to invest in ETH

So the drop in BTC price is only a good thing for those who are first time investing in digital coins.

>>1109818
But mainly you want to get out of BTC as quickly as possible and get in to ETH.

BTC is on the verge of a heavy dump down to 380.

Get some ETH quickly before it goes to 0.02 and beyond

>>1109799
A lot once homestead is finished testing and we see a dapp like this one to come out...
https://safemarket.github.io/
A decentralized silk road type market is the most likely reason for the price to moon

One thing about those dApps...are developers supposed to write perfect code?

Once it is deployed, you can't turn it back, can you?

>>1110428
What is a testnet?

Trying to buy eth but dont have any btc. Why the fuck is Circle so slow?

>>1110483
Can't yield the same results when actually tested under a thousand user load and bugs sometimes arise years after implementation. What then?

>>1110496
Kraken going super slow atm too

>>1110519
I dunno im not a coder, but I'm sure the 30+ phds in the main develolment team and the other 100+ phds in associated dev orgs such as consensys, ethcore etc have it figured out. Why not go to reddit and ask them directly.

>>1107995
how about you ask for a $100k loan? think of how rich you'll get.

FFFFFFF-

I just transferred €500 today to Kraken, will I make it in time to buy ETH??

Pls dont cuck me.

>>1110593
idk I have $500 in limbo (pending) on Kraken since 2/15/16
Really pissed it takes so goddamn long. Your better off buying bitcoin and sending it to Kraken.
I wish i had 10k to dump in, I'd be a rich motherfucker instead of getting nice gains on 500 Deees.

>>1110593
Takes 3-5 days, simmer. Another 500 I put in got credited this morning.

>>1108040
All cryptocurrency is

Nobody is even interested in any of it as a currency, it's all people who want to cash out in USD.

Captcha: Early Graves

>>1110925
Maybe to you it is. Thus you will remain poor.

>>1110941
You sound like a late night get-rich-quick infomercial.

>>1110945
>they all do
I dont even think these guys know how to talk normally

The "crash" was caused by kraken going down for the 4th time.

Nobody use kraken it's a piece of shit

>>1108001
Microsoft would have been a good investment back in the day. Tons of their past employees made a killing off of their ownership.

The fuck nigger?

I think he means they didn't look like a good investment

>>1110956
then what do i use, poloniex? cmoooooon

>tfw you have 2 months salary sitting on poloniex

feels risky man

tfw you were going to invest in ethereum when it was pennies, so you try to create polyniex account but it says they dont accept people from new york state due to regulations so you say fuck it and dont invest. fuck new york state

>>1112919
Withdraw the ETH to your own wallet. Don't be a pussy

>>1112923
Bittrex

>>1112925
have you seen the lending rates on poloniex ?

>>1112919

You could just store it in your own wallet.

Pulled out of eth and put into Maid, Made $50 playing with my dick today.

Peels bread man.

Hello, /biz/. What happens on March 9th?

>tfw pleb as fuck
>only put $200 into ETH couple weeks ago
>ran out of money
>need to convert into USD so I can eat
I know it's going to go to $18 tomorrow. I hate being a pleb shit.

BTC is going to the moon. Fuck ether

>>1113097
On a related note, anyone know why if I send BTC to my coinbase wallet it says "Pending" for some unknown amount of time? Does the blockchain just have to catch up? Or is Coinbase just a piece of shit?

This is a daily reminder that everytime you buy crypto, you need to declare a taxable event, record the cost basis, and report it on your taxes if you make money on the transaction.

So many retards are going to jail once the IRS figures out how to scrub the blockchain to find tax dodgers.

>>1113102
the transaction needs a certain ammount of confirmations before coinbase accepts it as received.

>>1113102

They're called verifications, and they're slow. Nothing to worry about. Always takes about 45 minutes for me to send BTC to Kraken.

>>1113103
don't worry there is no need to pay taxes for retards that have only losses

What if it's less than a thousand? Do I need to ask for a receipt from the casino for my taxes if I make 200 bucks playing blackjack?

>>1113102
>>1113105

>bitcoin

10 minute block times are fine and good and no problem there is no need for other blockchain technology bitcoin is all there ever will be trust me don't buy ethereum just buy bitcoin :^)

>>1113115
You have to declare every income for taxes.
Even if you earn $20 from walking your neighbours dog

>>1113120
thats simply not true. I'm not sure what the amount is, but you dont have to declare sums less than like 1000$>

The reason you need to declare crypto is because it is considered a capital gain on personal property.

I mean honestly, why do you pretend like you know what you're talking about? You've obviously never paid taxes before. underage b& get off of my biz

>>1113122
just a question, im in aus and lets say i make 200 000 off of ETH, how much can i expect to get taxed on it?

>>1113122

Anything that you receive as payment for goods or services is generally taxable income unless it is specifically exempted.

That means, if you mow your neighbor’s lawn, it doesn’t matter if he pays you $20 in cash, or $20 worth of bitcoins. (Or $20 worth of tomatoes for that matter)

In many jurisdictions, you are still legally required to report that as income. When using Bitcoin for payment the taxing authorities may be less likely to be aware of the payments but try to mow 10,000 neighbor’s lawns and not report the income and you will be much more likely to get caught.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Tax_compliance

OK niggers, not OP but I'm about to pull the trigger on this shit. I talked to my gf and we were thinking take $2,500 and buy bitcoins. Then take $1000 worth of BTC and use it to buy ETH. Does that seem like a good starting point?

But before I do, I need to buy bitcoins. I've been reading for the past two hours, and I have a basic handle on wallets. I downloaded mycelium to my phone. Now I'm ready to buy.

Suggestions on where/how to buy bitcoins? I see some of these places offer referral bonuses. I was gonna use coinbase, but then I saw this post on leddit and it kind of scared me away.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/47du4i/coinbase_effectively_closed_my_account_any_other/

So where do you recommend a beginner buy bitcoins? Is coinbase really no good?

>>1113143
I ended up buying through Coinbase 3 different times and it worked out. If you secure your account with a credit card in addition to your bank account you can buy instantly.

If you decide to use Coinbase can I refer you so we can get some sweet referral money? :>

>>1113143
Coinbase and Circle is the best one. I had it for 3 years and no issue. As long as you don't send the coin from base directly to a gambling site or send it for some illegal purpose it is fine. If you are going to use it for illegal purpose. First send the bitcoin to your OWN WALLET THEN SEND IT TO THE DESTINATION WALLET. Coinbase have to abide laws so do it the other way will avoid it.

So, I've fucked up a bit along the way with Ethereum, is anyone willing to help me understand some things if I post questions?

I really would appreciate it.

>>1113149
Yeah hit me with that referral link.

>>1113152
Yeah I read about how the transaction history of a bitcoin gets tracked. So the idea would be buy bitcoins on coinbase > move to paper wallet > use newly created paper wallet to buy drugs on darknet ?

>>1113143
I don't feel like reading any reddit posts at the moment but i can see the link coinbase_effectively_closed_my_account is the thing that you are worried about.
Don't worry it won't happen to you if you are just a normal regular user.
And even it happens its not a big deal. Your money won't be lost. They might just request some additional proof of identity.

So it is absolutely safe to use coinbase...Even tho Coinbase sucks.

>>1113157

https://www.coinbase.com/join/56ba47303bfa9c2cab00058e

Thanks bro!

>>1113158
Yeah dude had some sketch story about moving coins that he mined a long time ago. I was put off by some of the comments by people who were saying coinbase requires ID validation, but then again, why should I care?

>>1113157
No. They can still track you that way. If you want truly anonymous you have to mix the coins in a coin mixer. They can still track you if you do it like that. If you mix the coin in with a bunch of coins then the coins you get out will be truly anonymous. Or you can simply buy it from localbitcoin with cash so 0 tracking.

>>1113161
USed it and created an account but it's not gonna let me buy bitcoins just yet cause I have to wait for the deposits they put in my account to show up. Kind of annoying. I was all gung ho to get this going tonight.

>Or you can simply buy it from localbitcoin with cash so 0 tracking.
Saw that site mentioned on reddit. I live in LA and I carry a gun to buy video games off people. I'm not down with doing a bitcoin cash deal in person. craigslist.

>>1113170
It's not like you are using it to do any illegal means. So coinbase is fine.

>>1113170
I think it said we'd get referral bonus if you buy within 90 days from sign up. Awesome.

>>1113172
>It's not like you are using it to do any illegal means.
Not yet anyway. I kinda wanna buy some darknet shit just to do it. But for now I'm interested in getting some of this ETH because anonymous people on 4chan have assured me it's going to blow up and make me rich in a year or two.

>>1113175
Just send it from your own wallet then to destination wallet. They aren't going to bother to waste effort to track you down unless your transaction end up killing millions of people.

>>1113164
Yup they can track him that way but only if they start investigating what he does with the coins after receiving them in to his own wallet,in this case paper-wallet.

But if sending straight from Coinbase to a suspicious site they will see automatically and can flag your coinbase account

>>1113175
A bigger problem would be to get illegal stuff sent anonymously to your home address if you are really gonna do that.
Just go buy your drugs on the streets if you need them.

Alright so I checked out localbitcoins.com Dudes in my area want $456 per bitcoin, while coinbase has them at $431. That's a $25 difference. I get that coinbase charges a 1% fee, but that's only $4.31 per coin. What am I missing?

Thanks for holding my hand and spoonfeeding me, /biz/.

>>1113189
Probably should have used a screencap of the prices instead of that nick diaz pic.

>>1113191

Yeah they will always charge above market for the convenience of cash immediacy.

>>1113143
I'm doing a practice run through the entire process to make sure i don't fuck up.

I'm putting $500 into bitcoin through coinjar
taking $100 of that and then purchasing ETH with that bitcoin,
moving that ETH from the exchange to a paper wallet,
taking the ETH on the paper wallet and then moving it back to the exchange
turning that ETH back into bitcoin
turning that bitcoin into fiat
putting that fiat back into my bank account

Once i've done this and i'm confident that i understand the process and i'm not going to fuck up.
I'm going in with $10,000 to hold in a paper wallet until i see Ether on the news like i saw bitcoin on the news back in 2013.

And that original $500 and any other pocket money i rustle up i'll use to swing trade cryptocurrencies for fun.

>>1113154
Anyone willing to help? The two questions I have are:

1. I have an address created through Geth. How can I access the Ether on that account? Am I able to send it do a different address I created at ethereumwallet?

2. When I run CheckAllBalances(); , it says I have 45 ether. Does this literally mean I have 45 eth?

>>1113203
yes that means you have 45 ether in that account
i don't know anything about Geth sorry but i'm pretty sure you can send stuff from that account

>>1113242
Is Ether generally mined that quickly? I've only had it running for a few hours and it's currently at 45. I can try to take some screenshots to figure this out if it will help.

I cant seem to get it to transfer from one wallet to the other, I get errors whether I run a script to send them, or manually enter the transfer.

Anything I should use besides geth?

>>1113248
hmm i don't know then, that doesn't seem right
i dunno man

i assumed you bought eth and then transferred it to a geth account

it sounds like you've become incredibly lucky or you've fucked up and you're reading something wrong
i'm assuming you've harmlessly fucked up

>>1113248

Is it GAS? GAS is a denomination of ether.

>>1113255
This is what it shows when I run a command to check it. I can post up the errors too, maybe my code is wrong.

Do you recommend anything besides geth>?

>>1113258
I don't believe so, I followed the guide from cryptocompare on how to do this. Is there a way I can check?

>>1113259

Check your account and the addresses linked, Where did you download it?

>>1113269

Like I said, in >>1113262, I followed cryptocompare's guide. It has you download geth and Ethereum.

You run the geth tunnel in cmd so that you can establish a connection, and then run ethminer -G in another command prompt window so that it begins solving hashes with the GPU.

The account was greated when I did the intial "geth wallet create" or whatever step that was. I have a full wallet address for it, as well as an address with etheriumwallet that I'd like to send everything to.

>>1113259
I personally use myetherwallet.com

Ezpz to use paper wallet.

>>1113274
create a second wallet and try to send it to the new one.

>>1107995
>All this shilling
has there ever been a more obvious pump and dump?

>>1113281
I have one with myetherwallet too... I'll try that out maybe.

>>1113283
To second what the above answered, do you think I should try sending it to my wallet at myetherwallet?

Still receiving an error. This is what I'm seeing.

I was able to get a little further using the new address and fixing a mistake I had in the script. I am now receiving the following message

"Exceeds block gas limit
at InvalidResponse (<anonymous>:-81662:-171)

This mean anything to anyone?

>>1113303
Maybe you're on a testnet. Mining testnet ether

Just get the mist wallet beta. It comes with geth. Sync the blockchain, open wallet set etherbase account, then run geth. But cpu mining is a waste of time bro.

>>1107995
>going all in on anything
Wagecucks, everyone.

All time high on the daily right now there appears to be a pump in progress

It's going to 0.

Some fag put 1million ETH on Poloniex to trade the coin to retardation

>>1113643
Grow a pair of balls.

this is a multimillion dollar market that amount of coins is a drop in the ocean and will be bought up in the march to 1 billion market cap.

Anyway, you remember Saudi Arabia? They had the same policy "fuck the market until we're the last ones standing". Yeah, they're buying knee pads now.

>>1113662
Buy the dip m8

Anyone with significant amounts of money (10,000s) invested in ETH should pull the fuck out ASAP. You can still make a decent profit, but with the addition of 1.2m ETH into poloniex, you can expect some serious short term drops - might as well capitalize on it. Long term, ETH is still expected to increase in value and reach 10-15/eth.

Cheers guys, capitalize on the impending volatility!

Anyone selling now is about to get cucked by the market.

Monday will see some news for sure and then it will shoot up.

>>1107995
Just sold m80s. Made about $6k now im out. Thanks for all the news, the jews, the laughs and the crys. After studying this thing intensively for a couple weeks now I am not certain at all this has a long term future. I think $7 is the absolute top and it will hit that in the next couple of days then take a dive and never reach anywhere close to it again. Taking my money and running but just wanted to tell you guys its been fun.

>>1113688
Thanks, sunshine. See you on Decred

It's reddit but they do provide links to the wallets

https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/47v17v/1220000_eth_hit_poloniex_wallet_20_hours_ago/

No one in their right mind would move so much ETH out of their wallet into exchange without the intention to sell. This would pretty much shit on ETH straight into the ground. It's best to sell and buy on that enormous dip if you're so confident in ETH.

>>1113714
>the market behaves in the exact way that your simplistic logic predicts.

No this is actually a buy signal

>>1113714
Or the intention is to scare you then accumulate more.
Even though I said that I am getting out at .015

>>1113720
A fuarking huge pump is occuring. Dont get cucked by FUD

>>1113731

this could definitely be prepping the bull for a massive dump though.

on the other hand I doubt someone who holds a million eth wants to crash the market with no survivors.

either way my eth is tied up in loans so I can't so shit but watch

You're still in good shape, though. ETH has all kinds of headroom.

>>1113932

It didnt give me the option to link a credit card, just a bank account. I looked and the sites that accept credit card inflate the price per bitcoin by about $60

And even if I wanted to use localbitcoins, it offers the same problem as the sites that accept credit card: the price per bitcoin is way above market rate. Also a lot of the sellers want you to go to a moneygram location. Fuck all that.

>Why? Is the thought of interacting with another human being, even online, too much for your autism to handle?
Better check that tone, little bitch. Just cause youre an antisocial shut-in doesnt mean everyone is.

>>1113941
why do people keep shilling local bitcoins I got lucky and bought when the price in my area was $425 to buy locally from the best seller. I technically just broke even, even though I would've saved 11% by just going on an exchange to buy btc

>>1113940

Look at the instant buy info on the site.

>>1113963
>Look at the instant buy info on the site.
On coinbase? There is no "instant buy info" for me.

>>1113952
In europe you can use domestic bank transfer to buy on localbitcoins. Sometimes the price is even at spot price or below.

America is a third world country so idk

>>1113967

https://support.coinbase.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2108820-coinbase-account-limits

Scroll down to where it says Instant buy and read that.

>>1113984
But America is 1st world by definition, Eastern Europe is 2nd world. It doesn't (wasn't ) supposed to refer to economic alignment but rather governmental alliances. Anyways you get a more accurate price with bitquick but for whatever reason it wasn't working for me

>>1114004

>Your backup credit card is only used as an additional verification on your Coinbase account,
>additional verification

They wont let me use a credit card until my bank account is verified.

>>1114018

Oh well. Maybe I forget what I went through, but I know buying BTC was instant for me once I secured with CC.

>>1114018
Just give them your bank login info for instant bank verification, senpai. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

>>1114102
What was the point of this stupid post?

>>1114105
You were complaining about account verification time which takes a couple days. You can have your account instantly verified but it requires the login info to your bank account.

>>1107995
how does someone actually go about getting into this? I know shit fuck about the whole bitcoin thing. And I did make an attempt to learn. But actually getting into it and "mining" etc. is something totally foreign to me. I want to get in on this within the next 2 weeks. I was told to buy bitcoin when it first came out, and I punch myself in the dick over not doing it.

>>1114109
you're about 5 years too late to mine bitcoin

New feg here. Has anyone bought ETH from bity dot com with USD? Is this a better decision than buying bitcoin for the purpose of exchanging it for eth?
Also I'm buying small amounts of btc from coinbase. It's taking a week to transfer funds into my wallet because no credit. Makes me antsy because I want to trade for ETH now before it goes up. Is coinbase still the best option if I'm only buying like 50-$100 of bitcoin right now?

>>1107995
how can i buy? do i have to buy through bitcoin? can i use paypal?

>>1114175
Get bitcoin first. Stop asking the same questions constantly. All the answers are in this thread and the many others like it.

Bitcoin (however you can, different countries mean different methods (thanks government))

Then shapeshift.io to convert to ETH

>>1113025
Hehe I told you bitches :D

You didnt listen...

>>1114192

Welp lads looks like $500 is going to eth.

If it's ltc 2.0, $20 easy.

Legit question, I have the same one.

But, since there are mostly autistic faglords around on this thread - me and >>1114109 get responses like this;

Simple question 1:

>How do we get into mining/buying ETH/BTC?

Answer: >>1114128

Seriously, are you 101% off the charts retarted? That didn't help ONE bit.

>>1114115 - Doesn't need an explanation of its worthlessness, you should go and kill yourself, faggot.

>>1117698
>muh halving

Nothing in crypto is as priced in as all future BTC halvings.

What about the issue of programmers having to submit perfect code into the Ether cloud? Aren't you concerned about that? What do you think is the solution?

Also, Microsoft just certified Ether blockchain, prepare for SPIKE in price.

dammit everytime eth goes dump I have all my crypto in ethereum and everytime it pumps I have all my crypto in bitcoin

>>1118272
Literally anyone who ever bought ethereum is at this point in profit.

>>1118293
Yep, fools should have listened when I said - buy the dip.

>>1117959
Ha ha tough luck

am I too late for the train??

Is there any point in buying now?

If you haven't bought, you missed the train. Cheers.

When does Eth hit China? Has it yet?

I am fucking shaking mates. How much fucking money are we going to make?

>>1119615
Relax, it'd be foolish to sell any point in the next few months. Move your shit to a wallet and come back in August when it's 50/eth.

>>1119615

it's 20$.... who fucking cares. Is this your lunch money for the week?

I want to buy in but fucking kraken is taking ages to verify my account and then I'm sure I won't be able to just use a fucking credit card so I'll have to verify a bank account too...

My background is in software dev so I know this shit is the future outside of coin speculation but damn if I don't want to get in cheap. Buying $200 worth.

>>1119682
>>1119683
No, just asking if it's worth it or if the pump is over

>>1119612
Are you fucking insane? It's still under $10.

The reasonable ceiling is like $100

How is it failing? Please explain in great detail. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Same shit bro

>>1121430
Fuck knows. Try asking their tech support instead of 4chan.

Maybe they ran out of ETH to sell

Is there another coin you can buy direct with card and then use shapeshift?

Shapeshift works now

just picked up 300€ worth of eth. i do good boys? should i spent the other 200€ i have sitting around?

>>1121539
Yes if it's lying around you might as well put it in to an asset thats gaining value very fast

I hate myself for only investing 250 in ethereum i made already double the profit. Im a brokefag atm and is it worth end of the month investing 2k in it? (My paycheck).

I don't hate nethercucks, I just pity them. It's a real shame they won't be coming to the moon with the rest of us.

>>1124712
Ya, m-me too. I dont hate nocoiners. I just feel bad for them since they all are poor and there isnt any nocoiner with money. Us ethercucks are pretty rich though.

Is cloud mining worth it? Not looking to get rich quick or invest a lot. Just wanna watch the number grow a little each day and reinvest it.

>>1113688
Smart move, anon. In about 2-3 months these other fags will be crying about how Ether is only work .0001 cent and they lost a months worth of pay for nothing.

Just bought 150 eth at $10, 0 fucks given since I had hundreds of bitcoins still.

I didn't want to believe the hype but I'll let this ride until it dies. $0 or the moon.

i only discovered ETH at 0.005, havent sold anything yet, poured $1000 into it.

i guess both of us wish we invested more.. huh

>>1125979
>wait for the inevitable dump imo.

When do you think this will be? I have just bought some BTC and am waiting for the transfer, so I can buy some cryptokeks and ethercuck.

>tfw when newfag and trying to hop on the train

>>1125983
What do you recommend on buying?

I was thinking of buying mainly ether. Then SIA, MAID and Monero.

Goin' back up, boys!

>>1125987
>When do you think this will be?
impossible to know, but my guess is that it won't go past 3.5 mil max, so anytime now.

>>1125991
no idea about monero, i'm alreay in SIA but i got in at like 25, so i'm at a loss atm, i think this is a good time to invest in SIA, but honestly i dont expect all that much from it,

i'm also in EXP but its a shit coins and i'll be selling probably very soon, at a slight profit,

Maidsafe is where its at if you ask me, only recently went in so i'm only sitting on a small profit right now but i have a feel its gonna go 10x-30x in the next month of so, i'll probably round my 7000 coins to 10k soon.


i was advised to get into maidsafe by a guy i know that makes his living from trading altcoins, he told me a couple of days ago he moved everything he has into maid and eth, he already told me to get into maidsafe 2 weeks ago and i have made nice little profit thanks to that, guy knows his shit.

>>1125962
There aren't really any good alternatives other than Kraken if you want to exchange EUR and USD for cryptocucks.

poloniex does not allow USD and EUR deposits
