Donation questions

I realize this question was asked quite awhile ago, but I think it's a common one so maybe this will help someone else. 

It is NOT a good idea to send directly from Coinbase to DBG. Download yourself a free Electrum wallet and send all your transactions through this wallet first. This extra step will keep you from possibly getting your Coinbase account closed as has happened to members in the past.

Is blockchain a good alternative as well?

Is there going to be a problem sending from Coinbase Wallet? Or just don’t go directly from the exchange? I’m fairly new to it, after realizing a couple of weeks ago that every time I thought “I should have bought crypto” would have been a good time to buy crypto. I really don’t want to get my account closed lol.

You NEVER go from the exchange COINBASE . Always use a secondary external wallet.. They will BAN a account for basically nothing it's crazy . So yes transfer it to the blockchain or a wallet.

Thanks! Coinbase wallet is separate from Coinbase, it’s external- I control the keys. I’m going to re-read the user agreement and make sure, though. 

 
Is it possible to donate by Monero?  It's getting harder to buy BTC without KYC/ID, & my ID is out of date

 
Hello,

I recently just donated in Bitcoin for the opal sponsorship and also sent a message to the admins but just wanted to make sure there’s nothing else I needed to do. I guess I’m just confused on how they will know I sent it. Do I need to provide a screen shot of the transaction or anything? Thanks

Yeah, it's really not external though. Get an Electrum wallet and transfer to that first.

It's not dumb to have questions, especially when you're new. ☺️  This link explains how to donate: https://www.drugbuyersguide.net/index.php?/topic/9845-how-to-donate-to-the-forum/

You can only donate using bitcoin, which is good practice for learning how to use bitcoin. (It's not as hard as it sounds, I promise. I'm the one who started a thread for bitcoin called, "Explain it to me like I'm 5." If I can learn it, anyone can!)

And you will want to donate to the forum. It's a nominal amount that gives you access to a lot more information. (Note: You are not notified when your annual membership is up for renewal, so you'll want to post after you've donated, not only to make sure admin knows, but to keep a record of when you're up for your one-year renewal.

Probably, most of your early questions will be about bitcoin. There's a TON of info in the bitcoin threads. But you just have to jump in and do it. I recommend downloading an Electrum wallet and using Coinbase the first time. You'll have a longer waiting period and lower purchase amount the first time, and Coinbase has higher fees, but they are THE most user-friendly (IMO) for the bitcoin newb.

Bitcoin feels extremely complicated. The theory behind cryptocurrency kind of is complicated. But you don't need to know all that in order to buy bitcoin successfully. That's why the trial run of buying for your donation here is a win-win.

And people here are nice. If you have questions, you'll get help.

Hi to everyone. I’m in a bit of a bind at the moment. The problem is I have no clue how to use BitCoin , & believe me I have tried so hard to get it to work so I can send you guys a Donation. Is there anybody out there who would be willing to help me out with this problem? It would incredibly appreciated. Hope someone answers soon with a solution 

 
@cazza There's lots of Bitcoin threads here to help beginners . Take a time out and read them ,you may have success that way. .

Good Luck

Regards

 
Like @Biskobro said, theres numerous helpful threads in the Bitcoin section including a couple walkthroughs.  Most people find Cashapp pretty easy if its available in your area.  I would start there!  Good luck!

 
If you don't have an ID then a bitcoin ATM could be an option as many do not require it. You will need a public address to transfer your bitcoin into. There's a lot of information online, matter of fact I just learned that some ATMs provide a "paper wallet" for those who don't come prepared with a scan of their wallet.

Don't ask me what that is as I didn't get that deep. I see a lot of people overcomplicate the process. It's basically just getting yourself a wallet to store and send your bitcoins and then purchasing some coin to put in it.

Anyone can do it, you don't need to have any special knowledge besides being able to read. Dive on in and if you get stuck along the way just post what your problem is and someone will help you through it. You can always tag me or Biskobro or any active senior member such as the wise and helpful @Doomkitty and if we don't know the answer we will try to help you find it.

 
Hi it's rec my sponsor has ran out  I will donate asap probably in the next few hours.

  3. N @ nickelz34: I am an opal sponsor where do I find the password for the pass protected section ?
  4. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: whereas if I use fiat to buy something the money is green anyway. Monero does this really well. Anyway rant over, you can DM me if you'd like to talk more about cryptos.
  5. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: I don't really think that people understand the whole point of cryptos in the first place anymore. BTC just won't be adopted by governments because the transactions are too public and what's worse, money that is freshly minted is better than money that has been used. Like if my btc was used for something that was illegal does that mean the money is "poisoned"?
  6. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: @xenxra Yeah, Like I said I've never really been that fond of btc, it isn't used as a currency, just as a place for people to invest money in, even though the whole purpose of btc was to be a currency. If it doesn't fulfill that role, what does? Monero certainly does.
  7. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: What's good guys! Just got back home. Missing football today :( Fuck the probowl lol
  8. shoutback @ shoutback: Volkanovski is the greatest featherweight of all time. Better than Aldo or Holloway at their peaks.
  9. S @ sawganaut: I bet btc bottom is in
  10. D @ dragnetopher: No, I don’t think it. I know it. And it’s not just bitcoin, it’s all crypto. And like I said, they’re selling to acquire liquidity for when countries truly start utilizing what’s been set in place. The USD is under controlled demolition as we speak. This is all part of it.
  11. xenxra @ xenxra: there is no shortage of whales - https://tikolu.net/i/fmnru.png
  12. xenxra @ xenxra: tokenisation is not a plan its already been happening for months, ive been trading this whole move on silver through ethereum
  13. xenxra @ xenxra: you think whales are dumping bitcoin because of something everyone has known about for like 4 years? what does bitcoin liquidity have to do with trading tokenized assets? they don't have pooled liquidity.
  14. D @ dragnetopher: Whales are tanking BTC due to the fact that the future is coming now, literally. There’s a plan to tokenize every single asset possible. This is whales dumping so they can have liquidity for the Springtime.
  15. xenxra @ xenxra: @Gulp2788 this is a terrible spot to buy bitcoin haphazardly because it's going down another $5k -$7k if 80,000 doesn't hold. i told everyone to get the fuck out of bitcoin at $103k. it's better to buy late when the bottom is more certain than throw darts and act like the opposite outcome was unavoidable just because it went down "a lot" and everyone seems to be "freaking out". wait for it to get back over 85k
  16. xenxra @ xenxra: @aarons the last time i said monero was on discount in here it went up 5x in 3 months
  17. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: good opportunity to buy more btc if you are gonna do so imo, me I'm buying the btc to switch into better currencies
  18. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: bah politics, no need to worry BTC is a honeypot anyway
  19. fishladder @ fishladder: down since trump
  20. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: btc has been hovering around 90k for a year everyone is freaking out tbh I am laughing
