Great comment, that is exactly what I think is going to happen. The big risks I see with the Telegram ICO have nothing to do with the tech. They are as follows: A) They build out all this functionality to support crypto currency, etc and it

The question is how centralized does a network like this need to be? Not sure if I am reading the white paper correctly but I think Telegram appear to be going with a masternode type solution initially for their proof of stake solution htt

I wouldn’t be so quick to write the telegram team off. Most of the existing players in crypto have a vested interest in seeing them fail. On the one hand the Telegram team have a solid track record & a lot of users: They produced a high

I assume the whole point of the rule was to stop people spamming people right? It sucks because you were trying to do the right thing but I can maybe see where they were coming from.

Backroom poker games and people sharing copyrighted music they didn’t pay for are still a thing so most likely no. You will still have the ability to start an anonymous exchange, it just wont necessarily be legal in all countries.

That actually sounds pretty interesting. Thanks for adding more information about what these guys. I’m a mobile engineer who used to work at Apple/Facebook who’s gone down a similar path and now I work as a consultant/contractor.

Could you talk a little bit more about your situation and how you work with these guys? I assume you are a contractor, can you tell us a little bit about your background and give us an example of how they helped you find work? Thanks.

Nice! I assume you can transfer monero off kracken right? I’ll have to give them another look.

Doesn’t Gemini have an advantage to gdax in the way funds transfers work? A friend was telling me about this but I have yet to try it, I’m still in a queue to be verified for Gemini.

Same. I got really excited when I opened the app and saw the update. Then I read the fine print and alas it was just pricing data for alts. I would dump binance in a heart beat if I could buy alts on Robinhood or coinbase :(

Check the screen before you buy, they display fees: https://ibb.co/eCkthc Also the base price is more expensive than gdax (also owned by coinbase).

Agreed. Kraken has been terribly unstable. What about Gemini, any thoughts on that exchange?

They rejected my GC and I came across another hn reader who had the same issue. I know this from first hand experience with gdax. I’m renewing my drivers license next month so this problem will go away. Just letting others on hn know as you

That’s what I am doing. I have an appointment booked. I don’t own a car so I had let my old ID expire.

by htormey 9y ago
This is good advise. The problem right now is getting verified on gdax takes a really long time and doesn’t accept government ids like greencards. I have a coinbase account that I can buy with but I am stuck at the verification stage on gda

Nah, just eth/btc the rest just display tracking data.

My bad. I am still in the queue to have crypto trading turned on in the Robinhood app. When you open the app it makes it look like they are supporting multiple coins at launch: https://ibb.co/noPN8H

by htormey 9y ago
Ah okay, I am still in the waiting list and misread that. I thought they were listing all of those coins.

by htormey 9y ago
Robinhood are listing monero, zcash and a bunch of other coins. So you can buy them directly for fiat. Coinbase allow you to buy ltc, eth, bch and btc. If you wanted to buy monero you would first have to buy one of those then transfer to an

Correct, you can’t sell crypto currencies you didn’t buy in Robinhood. This is listed in the faq they provide. https://ibb.co/dHNENc

Somethings to note: -Robinhood is not allowing you to transfer in crypto from outside. -Robinhood does allow you to transfer crypto out but you have to go through extra verification steps. See: https://ibb.co/dHNENc The lis

This is a totally different product. Your app looks very nice but it is similar to hodl, a mobile app where you have to manually input coins one by one. The cointracker.io people import from exchanges, wallets via APIs and cab file import.

Listen to this podcast that Tyson and Jason (2 tax cpas who do a lot crypto) did: https://www.breaker.audio/unchained-big-ideas-from-the-world... It talks about this scenario. I’d also consider just hiring one of them.
