Oh here we go, buried at the bottom of the support page (with no contact #s or emails might I add) is "current status" Put that on the top of the landing page for transactions please - explains why it insta-failed my ID check with no error message.

Ham Sandwiches posted:3 million people didn't have email problems and managed it in the span of a few months, so while there are hiccups it seems to work for many people Presumably COMRADES would be included in the registration count today, even though he's having difficulty verifying his identity. How do you know those other 3 million people haven't had any issues?

Conversely you don't have to defend a bad website because it's connected to crypto. You can commiserate on these things comfortably. It actually makes your argument's position stronger instead of painting yourself as a crypto White Knight desperate to bang a coin

According to you I should sit there and be like "You're right, despite 3 million people managing it on that same website recently I'm sure crypto is doomed because your email verification was blank due to their poo poo being down" My bank website wouldn't let me see my statements because it was down for maintenance... it would be really dumb of me to try to paint that as a slam against fiat whatever instead of like "heyy err it happened to be down when I went to use it" What was the "correct post" to make about a dude that tried to sign up when it was down and didn't read the notification, please tell me, I gotta see this poo poo

Typically a server outage is communicated clearly at the start of a page and not tucked away at the bottom.

Out of how many? If 100 mil people tried to register and couldn't suddenly 3 mil looks like a poo poo house number. Besides which just because it was working last month doesn't mean poo poo either, my point here is more that it doesn't really speak to reliability when your biggest exchange apparently goes down for hours with no warning or notice and also there's no one to contact on the support page.

The dude is signing up for crypto, a thing you love, and he's pointing out that the site won't let him do anything at the moment. "That happens from time to time" would have worked. The guy is finally checking crypto out. You've won. Now shut the gently caress up.

It is now official. Netcraft has confirmed: Bitcoin is dying One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Bitcoin community when IDC confirmed that Bitcoin market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all currency. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Bitcoin has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Bitcoin is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test. You don't need to be the Amazing Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict Bitcoin's future. The hand writing is on the wall: "Bitcoin faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Bitcoin because Bitcoin is dying. Things are looking very bad for Bitcoin. As many of us are already aware, Bitcoin continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. Coinbase is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. Their email verification doesn't even work, and the website is dogshit. There can no longer be any doubt: Bitcoin is dying.

Uranium 235 posted:there are transfer fees but i think you might be asking about trading fees? you don't have to transfer bitcoin if you're trading on an exchange, the bitcoin is held by the exchange and they just keep track of who owns it as its traded between users. fees vary by exchange, but typically they are 0.1% to 0.3%, with lower fees for makers and higher fees for takers. for example, GDAX charges no fee for makers and 0.25% for takers. bitfinex charges 0.1% for makers and 0.2% for takers. bittrex charges 0.25% for every trade no poo poo! might play with this instead of gold etfs

myDad posted:no poo poo! might play with this instead of gold etfs Bitfinex offers margin trading, and totally isn't insolvent and making up for the insolvency by manipulating the market to close people's positions. My suggestion: mortgage your house, and leverage it 100x to bet on altcoins. you could turn $100,000 into billions in an afternoon. There's no downside!
