I'm having Benz headaches bad and sent BCH to my electrum wallet did I just loose 500 bucks forever because I'm an idiot didn't convert to BTC ? I'm so unbelievably unhappy
 
Recovery seems possible according to a few basic google searches and then asking AI what i didn't understand since i don't use BCH.

Seems fairly easy to recover them there not lost, there just on the BCH blockchain and they need to be recovered to a BCH wallet.
 
Coinbase blows or I don't understand how it works now they've changed it around I don it many times no problem I'm having an impossible time using my head my donation thing is gone I got to do that again too fiddle stix I'm in a bind

Thank you
 
Wish you the best of luck. I have been there keep us posted. I’m still trying to figure out the best or easiest bitcoin. If I can avoid using it I do, but that leaves me
Vendor options. Keep us posted and anyone reading this post. Whatever would be the easiest for people I’m dyslexic. I have Coinbase and I’ve struggled. I have cash app. Has anyone use that?
 
@Akup7ich I use cash app to buy BTC and then xfer it to blockchain, which is where I pay. It's always worked easy-peasy until about a year ago when cash app made some wonky changes. I thought they had shut me down, well, because CA help told me I was shut down when I called in to get help. They spent 5 days trying to figure it out and then finally said I had been shut down. It didn't make any sense to me. I never paid out of CA-only xfered to my own wallet which I couldn't see how that would would trigger a shut down.

Long story short: CA eliminated the keyboard I was using. Never knew that could happen, sounded crazy. I wasn't using any special keyboard, only the one that defaulted when I bought by phone and turned it on.

Once I changed to another keyboard viola' SO, only saying I would have sworn by CA as being the easiest BTC but I guess I figured it out, so it's still pretty easy.

BUT, I will now say blockchain's fees have gotten stupid so really need to figure something out. My fees went from $8 to $10 bucks priority to $45 last time, non-priority. Priority was over $60.

As always I still think it stands to not use the same wallet for both transactions.

I about died! I have also figured out on blockchain at least, you got be ready to send on the first go because when you come back on, you can guarantee the fee has already went up.

I went thru the entire process and realize I didn't have enough $ for the fee and had to add more funds to the wallet and BAM, it went up a lot! And I only added $10. I have $50 left and wanted to transfer it out and the fee is $45! 😲

very similar experience i had. its making the use of coins to much of a gamble for me to continue. especially when we are already rolling the dice to receive the pack we order from some places!

I am with you! I thought the old school MSBs were too dicey--at least with those you knew the fee AND for the most part you could get your funds returned to you, if there wasn't a pick up. Once the BTC is sent you lose all recourse, for the most part. Or that's how I feel!
 
USDT using trc20 is the best. Fees less than $1 and takes about 3-5 mins for transaction to complete. Receiver not having to bother with price fluctuation and sender not having to bother with insane fees, works best for both.

USDT is pegged to whatever crypto it's backed by, if that crypto falls under price of the USDT supply then it is ruined. USD coins are not totally stable when it's backed by unstable cryptocurrencies.

USDT is the most stable coin....its literally backed by tether and has no scope to go up or down... It's usually altcoins which are pegged...Usdt is as stable it can get
 
Any thoughts on a self custodial wallet like exodus? I believe fees for swapping and sending are lower because your transaction spends less time on the blockchain even if it's a smaller amount. Plus you're responsible for making sure each TX is sent using the appropriate token for the particular crypto in use. Other exchanges do this for you driving fees up. I'm just learning about the different wallets, etc, now that I have a little more confidence using crypto .

  2. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  3. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  4. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  8. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  9. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  10. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  11. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
  12. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!

  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  16. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  17. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  18. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  19. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though
