6 months. Since 6 months they stole my balance and refuse to give me back the full access to my funds.

Probably the best idea to get anything you have there off, and never use this crook platform unless you are ready to lose your money to the exchange

It seems impossible to buy btc anonymously these days?

I'm using pre-pay Visa cards, I can't find anyone to accept them without having ID (so sure I can buy a fake ID.). Anyone want to sell btc for visa prepaid!??

Transactions at 1 sat/byte are clearing: good time to defrag

Posted: 06 Apr 2019 05:06 PM PDT

The recent mempool spike reminds us it can be expensive to spend dusty BTC when fees rise. Today could be a good opportunity to do some defragmenting at 1 sat/byte - ideally into a segwit address. The bottom one of JoHoe's three excellent charts shows if the mempool is emptying and if 1 s/b transactions are getting mined. Be wary of wallets auto-setting unnecessarily high fees.

It's worth remembering that even if all your BTC is in one single address it could still be very fragmented: if you receive 100 payments into an address you've got 100 fragments. Make one transaction to send the whole contents of that address to a new address in your wallet and the new address will contain just one lump of BTC.

Consistently low fees up until the last couple of weeks have perhaps lulled us into thinking fees would never rise again so why bother defragging: the UTXO has reached an all-time high. So if your stash is a bit dusty, now could be the time to defrag just in case fees are high when you come to make that spend or want to move some BTC into Lightning.
