    Anyone know of a self-group for crypto-addiction ............. something like AA ?
    I'm afraid I've become addicted to checking BTC/ETH price tickers every five minutes. :)

    I have a graph of my crypto portfolio and I'm just watching the graph go up and down and up and down :D

    Anyone know best way to transfer Bitcoin from One wallet to another from Belgacoin?

    Login to your Belgacoin wallet, click the green receive button, a pop-up window will appear with the receiving address for you to send BTC to. Copy that address, go to the sending wallet and make a payment to the Belgacoin wallet receiving address you just copied. Make sure on the sending wallet side, to include sufficient fees to have the transaction processed in the time-frame you want. https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

    Yeah it I just checked. I suspect another DDoS attack.

    Yeah, could well be that, ............ and both BTC and ETH prices on Kraken have significantly dipped below the prevailing prices on all other exchanges.

    CEX.IO is another option seems like a pretty popular one but I've never used it so I'd do some research first

    Just did some research: "CEX.IO takes a 7% fee for the service which is charged from the amount of fiat currency."

    No thanks.

    Me too !
    I'm buying it daily with Dollar Cost Averaging, but I'm buying it with my BTC so not too happy diluting that either.
    Anyway, I'm riding this train until it crashes this time. I'm so far ahead in profit now that I feel like I'm living in some dream-reality. Between BTC and ETH I'm pulling in daily profit figures that a year ago would have seemed like telephone numbers to me.

    How do you buy ETH with your BTC? Thanks

    SEPA transfers to Kraken generally take less than a day for me, but I guess I've been lucky with the timing. No reason why it should ever span more than two days though.

    America is waking up around now and getting out of bed.
    How will they react when they see the overnight increases? Will they FOMO and pile in, or will it be a case of "holy cow, I'll cash out at that price and take my big profit". ?
    What will be the reaction when the banks open later?

    tried to open account with Kraken and use PGP encryption.

    Annoyingly I can't decrypt the activation key sent out. Fairly sure I didn't do anything wrong.

    As much as I want to get caught up in all the hype, I'm going to keep a cool head and not pile on. I bought my 1 ETH for the month last night at €133. This could go either way, it could keep driving up, the forecasts are for $200 in the next month and $550 by December. So plenty of time to add more and keep gaining.

    But there could be a few big corrections along the way and the killings are made in the dips. I don't think we will see the dips bitcoin took but we should still see some nice 20-30 euro dips to capitalise on.

    Incredible run in BTC - who is brave enough to buy now though ? :)
    Im sickened I missed this move - but I cant buy after such a run, it looks like a blow off top.

    Except that Ethereum is due to switch from Proof of Work over to Proof of Stake in the very near future, thereby making GPU mining redundant ! :D

    In as much as forecasts are picked out of the sky as no one really knows. :pac:

    But there is a good chance ETH will track along to Bitcoin levels and at a faster pace with more stability. Bitcoin carved the risky first coin route and had to battle harder. ETH is coming along now that coins are becoming more and more widespread, it also has the backing of the banks & enterprise that bitcoin didn't have.

    That won't mean we can't make hay while the sun shines. Then there's Litecoin.

    If you literally mean last night - as in after banking hours - that would depend on which bank you use and when they process their SEPA transfers. You should probably ask them. If AIB are still doing theirs late afternoon, which used to be the case, and you used AIB, then the transfer won't happen till late this afternoon. The continent is an hour ahead so Belgacoin's bank isn't going to get or do anything with the transfer until tomorrow at the earliest, so Belgacoin should get it and hopefully process it tomorrow evening.

    Is Kraken the only place to sell GNO tokens? It won't let me log in or reset password so I've given up on it.

    I've 3.7 tokens and they have hit €195 today so think I'll sell the .7 to cover the cost and keep the others 3 to see what happens.

    I have bought a couple hundred worth of BitCoin and Ethereum through Coin Base and currently have it sitting in the built in wallets. Should I be looking to move it out of CoinBase? If so, what would people recommend?

    yeah you should... only started this myself but if coinbase got hacked(google mt gox) you could lose it all.... control it yourself if you can...

    electrum seems to be a popular wallet but you need to read up on security... decided to buy a trezor wallet myself after a bit of research

    Electrum it appears to me can only be used for Bitcoin. Does anyone know of something similar for Etherium?

    Oh I know how, I just doubt it's a discussion Boards mods would welcome. The other thing is, it wouldn't be practical for most people who aren't already well off. ;)
