    TaxACT charging more if you click that you used crypto- doesn't have any additional steps or questions about it.

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 08:53 PM PST

    So, filing my taxes, during the final review it asked if I bought, traded, or received any crypto. I checked yes. Next step tells me that based on my answers, I need to pay for the deluxe version ($75 between federal and state)- I agree to pay this, because I don't want to turn around and lie on my tax return. I didn't have any income from crypto, but that wasn't the question that was asked.

    So, once I pay for deluxe, it does the review check again, and, doesn't ask for any other info. Just moves forward into the filing process.

    They tried to upsell me audit protection after selling me deluxe, so deluxe didn't buy me any extra protections...

    They literally just charged me more because I admitted to trading crypto, and did absolutely nothing to ensure that I filed the crypto side of things correctly.

    Complete noob question - buying cryptocurrencies with bank transfer from another country?

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 01:46 PM PST

    I'm totally new to this world so apologies for the dumbass question. Is it possible to buy Bitcoin (for example) by bank transfer using a bank account in a country I'm not resident in? I live in the EU, am Australian and would like to use my Aussie bank account to do this.

    I can't seem to though. I may not have looked widely enough at different exchanges but I thought I'd ask here first before I get myself too lost.

    Is this possible, or is the currency I'm able to purchase in limited to my geographical location?

    Many thanks in advance.

    edit - thank you everyone. I'll give these suggestions a try. Much appreciated.

    Can't claim reward. Deleted Brave Browser for good today.

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 05:26 AM PST

    After I kept on having problems with the reward system I turned to the Brave sub for help. They have a active support there, so why not. But the Brave support dosnt seem to be interested in helping or are clueless about the problem at hand. There where some gentil folks from the community that tried to help but didn't have the insights needed.

    I wasn't able to claim my rewards for 4 month now and I could only guess how much BAT that was. I was getting frustrated more and more. First with the browser then with the nonexisting user support. I mean sure.... Let me watch all those adds and let you have all the money. No reason to get mad on my end, right?

    I was hoping some day I could claim the rewards, that's why I held off from doing anything like to reinstall the browser, because funds would get lost. I was hoping to get some advice from the support. But after I have turned several times to the support and have not gotten any answer I was done today.

    If anyone else is having this kind of issues: stop using Brave if you are doing it for the rewards. You will not be able to claim them. You will not get help from the company. Stop giving them free money!

    Edit: What a shitshow of a thread. Way to go Brave/BAT community!

    Edit2: The point of this post is to make people who have rewards stuck in limbo for some time aware that they will not be able to claim those rewards. The reward system seams to be broken in some way. The way it is broken would be interesting to find out but hey... Let's instead just denounce the redditor and his claims.

    Edit3: u/bat-chriscat came throug and found the problem. It seams to be a problem with SafetyNet within rooted Android phones. Thanks for clearing it up.

    a list of domains i collected for blockchain projects, are these of any value?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2020 02:45 AM PST

    xtery.com
    emergy.io
    bitocu.com
    bitocular.com
    bitoculars.com
    cryptochem.com
    cryptosenate.com
    ledgerty.com
    minerdome.com
    tokeo.io
    turtletoken.com

    domains are located on a friend's site, the prices set there exaggerate the true value, so you should not pay attention to them. Do you think there is anything worthwhile here?
