    "But they can't confiscate your bitcoin"

    Posted: 26 Sep 2018 12:34 PM PDT

    My Binance account was blocked 3 weeks ago and support has just simply ignored me. Have I lost all of my money?

    My Binance account was blocked 3 weeks ago and support has just simply ignored me. Have I lost all of my money?

    Dear Binance u/Jager_Binance,

    3 weeks ago you blocked my account and after a long conversation because of my "security issue", still nothing.

    My account is 3rd level verified, allowing me to take out more than 100 Bitcoins per day, the account isn't inactive or suspicious. As soon as I noticed my account was frozen, I applied to have it unfrozen, but then you cancelled that and responded me with documents request and I gave you at least five documents you asked for in order to verify it was really me and even had a more than hour-long video call with you.

    I've done everything you've asked by the strong deadlines you've given, and then you just ignore me and don't answer me at all. I can't get any information from you about the process of unblocking my account and you still have all of my money; I can't get any of it back. Could you please answer me and give me a reason for all of this?

    Everything you've said to this point hasn't been true or according to your rules. I'd really appreciate some clarity and some answers.

    u/Jager_Binance

    What I'd like to know is, what is the real reason for blocking my account? Please PM me!

    Why are you ignoring me? Could you comment on this? Why do I have to make all these things public just to attract your attention?

    P.S.

    That was an official Binance answer before they blocked me in their official subreddit

    u/Jager_Binance I have already provided EVERYTHING you have requested and more! Why are you still ignoring me after 2 weeks of conversations? You've given me no choice but to make it public. 3 messages without any reply!

    BTCPay Server is growing! – Nicolas Dorier – Medium

    Only 24 billion dollars worth of Bitcoin's supply remains to be mined (18%)

    Posted: 26 Sep 2018 09:36 PM PDT

    82% of bitcoin's total supply has already been mined. Just $24 billion USD at today's prices remain to be mined up until the year 2140 approximately.

    With the halvening occurring in 2020, bitcoin is going to become extremely scarce!

    Just to put these bear market prices into perspective...

    Bitcoin is ready to grow again. Here's why

    Posted: 26 Sep 2018 10:24 PM PDT

    Finished traveling around the world ... on 1 Bitcoin

    Posted: 26 Sep 2018 06:56 AM PDT

    Hello BTC Redditors,

    Just wanted to share a little announcement rather dear to me.

    August of last year I left Portland, Oregon with a mission: see what BTC communities are like around the world...and make it happen with just 1 Bitcoin.

    Finally made it :)

    18 countries.

    12 months.

    1 BTC.

    Bought it for $4,724 hard earned dollars. A month later in September I felt like a chump who bought a new car off the dealer's lot --- because BTC kept loosing value and sunk to $3,350. But I kept riding that rollercoaster.

    In December the price hit $19k. Just a few days before Christmas too. I felt tempted to cash it all out right then and there, let me tell ya. But a few OG's I met in Hong Kong told me to keep saddled on that bucking Bronco -- feel the adrenaline of the ups and the heartbreak of the downs. So I stuck it through. Man, what a ride.

    I put a little video together. Not super good at the editing, sorry. But here it is anyway:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjacVPEaCW8

    A few highlights:

    + Met Vitalik Buterin in Shenzhen, China. Wow. Closest I've ever come to meeting an extraterrestrial. I don't mean that in a bad way, either. The guy towered above me (I'm not that tall); he was lanky and gaunt; I could see him thinking about 12 different things while talking to me -- each of them far more important than the small-talk-chitchat he was having with me.

    + Met John McAfee in Singapore. What a character! Listen to this: I ask him what he thinks about the environmental impact of BTC mining (the hot topic at the time). He tells me "I'll keep MGT mining BTC until the last polar bear drowns."

    + Volunteered at a diving school in Palawan, Philippians. It was a workaway type of place. The guy running it, Thad, was doing great things -- teaching local kids how to become dive masters so they could earn a good living diving with tourists. Great dude. A little paranoid when talking about him and crypto, but wow, in it from the early days.

    + Myanmar (Burma). Holy damn. What a country. Incredible ancient ruins. Delicious food. And the friendliest people going through some of the toughest governmental financial bullshit. Corruption, wild inflation, demonetization. And people there would love to use BTC more often to free themselves financially (being part of the unbanked, after all) but they have some of the most fundamental difficulties: (1) shitty cellphone coverage and (2) rampant power outages.

    + Colmar, France. I met one of my hero's .... Anthony Bourdain. Talked to him about food, travel, Bitcoin. A week later. One week after shaking my hand....he took his life. I keep wishing I would have said something. The right thing. Maybe I could have made a difference.

    + Amsterdam. Used a bit of my almost-running-out-BTC to taste true wormwood Absinthe. I saw visions of Bitcoin absolutely crushing governmental fiat and putting Jamie Dimon and Charlie Munger on the streets! Haha no, I wish.

    + Finally made it! 1 BTC! Tonder, Denmark. Just across the border from Germany. I thought I'd make it to Copenhagen. I didn't -- but that's okay. It was a wild ride that opened my eyes in all sorts of ways. Sure I spent months and months sleeping on Couchsurfer's cots, eating the cheapest grocery store mark-down foods, and generally wishing I had cashed out in December --- but I would do it all over again, without cashing out either. Because being on such a strict budget forced me to meet people.

    Often times we feel tempted to use money to avoid pains. If I traveled on a big budget I could have stayed in hotels. Instead I couchsurfed, met amazing hosts, and told them all about BTC -- which sharpened my own knowledge. If I was on a bigger budget I could have stuck around certain cities and gone to BTC meetup's only on their set dates. But being on a budget I had to reach out to meetup hosts and hope they'd make time to meet me, trade BTC for fiat, and perhaps even introduce me to their crypto friends -- and they did, every time, because the crypto community is awesome. Around the world I met absolute badass crypto OG's, movers-and-shakers, and newbies too. Learned something from everyone :)

    I suppose my mission resulted in a resounding answer: crypto will set us free.

    So cheers to a few specific cool cats out there as well as the community at large: Thank you.

    +R

    Someone exploited the core bug to generate 0.1 BTC out of thin air in Testnet

    Posted: 26 Sep 2018 05:16 PM PDT

    Testnet under attack, if anyone got old miners they can help by using pool 138.197.169.75

    Posted: 27 Sep 2018 02:16 AM PDT

    [27/09/2018] <echeveria> my pool is 138.197.169.75 which is mining on the valid chain.

    The testnet for Bitcoin is under attack by mining the invalid-rules chain (the one before fix for latest exploit - https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/9hkoo6/new_info_escalates_importance_upgrading_to_0163/ - https://bitcoincore.org/en/2018/09/20/notice/ )

    From IRC #bitcoin (on irc.freenode.org) - the operator Echeveria runs a pool to help, any mining hardware can be pointed on it to help.

    The invalid duplicate transactions have been removed from the testnet chain.

    Poloniex support team is awful!

    Posted: 26 Sep 2018 02:00 PM PDT

    Poloniex support team is awful!

    I have been a legacy user with 2000$ withdrawal limit... Afterall Poloniex froze my account without a chance to withdraw... I want to notice I made my intentions clear before deadline (Circle issue)...

    Poloniex ignored their promises, their official statements, their art.17 of User Agreement.. And now they are ignoring me as their customer... So awfully inequitable situation it is...

    Dear users, good ones, help me please to spread the word...

    Hi Alice,

    I want Poloniex managers to remember their official statement and give me time to get back my fund on legacy conditions. I made my intentions clear till deadline. I was going to transfer my money. But I had no possibility though. I couldn't trade, I couldn't transfer, I couldn't withdraw. Do Poloniex official statements mean nothing? Why should I seek for help on forums and blogs?

    Kind regards

    Евгений

    ________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Hi, Dear!There would be possibility to withdraw my tockens if Poloniex kept its promises or that article 17 of User Agreement. The official statements were "The exact date for this deadline will be annonced in Q1 2018. You will be given advance notice before this requirement goes into effect" - I wasn't "Withdrawals will remain enabled at the daily withdrawal limits prior the deadline" - it wasn't. I made my intention to withdraw tockens clear before deadline and Poloniex just ignored me as its legacy customer.Please. There must be a way to get back what is rightfully mine.

    Nice regards,

    Евгений

    _______________________________________________________________________________________________

    Gods be good, Alice. I've never was going to bother you again as was promised. But it's you who started to write me... And it was not your ticket either...

    So be it. I understand your frustrations but please don't consider a ticket solved if it wasn't solved at all.

    I have my issue in the same condition as half a year ago and two of my other tickets are not followed by your agents at all right now. This is the reason I have to (re)open tickets.

    Now I want you to remember a little bit of the issue...

    You tell me about immediate verification, but you cannot (or don't want to) verify me with my ONLY government issued passport, which unfortunately in Cyrillic. And as I see it you couldn't stick to your timetable, you couldn't stick to your promises and you couldn't stick to your art. 17 of User Agreement but anyway you can stick to keeping my coins safe from me and you can perfectly stick to closing my tickets.

    Tell me please how can I get back what is rightfully mine. It was Poloniex who could stick to nothing. Why it's me who have to pay for the mess Poloniex have done?

    Nice regards,

    Евгений

    _____________________________________________________________________________________________________

    I look forward to seeing your answer

    _____________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Dear, Alice!

    I've been a legacy user.. Two weeks before deadline, despite all the promises Poloniex froze my account and let me do nothing to withdraw my funds. I had 2000$ withdrawal limit and official statement which anounced 2 weeks for withdrawal before deadline.

    That poloniex froze my account two weeks before deadline is unwarrented and ignored the art. 17, therefore removing the access to the funds that are rightfully mine.

    I hereby ask you to take this responsibilty and provide me the opportunity to withdraw under the original legacy conditions for a period of two weeks so that I had an equal treatment compared to the other customers.

    Please help me to resolve this awfully inequitable situation

    Forever Yours,

    Евгений

    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Hi, Dear.

    Please stop to close my tickets and help me to solve this issue. There were no my fault Poloniex decided to take my funds.

    Nice regards,

    Евгений

    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________

    P.S. And just closed without answer... As ever

    I've been using Brave for a while but I've never seen this. Is it just Brave supporting Bitcoin protocol ? Correct me if I am wrong.
