I didn't. I said "I can't use it at all today"
The eyes are the first to go, janice...
Sounds like a plan, but you are still thinking like a stock flipper... It's coins you own, not shares, and it is coin price, not share price that matters here...
Of course, they aren't coins either, just little bits of code. It still amazes me that people spend such huge amounts of money on them...
It has recovered from that big seller who dropped it bigtime last week. BTC is off to a bullish start today after an awful three weeks, which helps too. Can't write PLUS1 off yet...
Never mind, issue resolved. I thought one of the key points of crypto was that it doesn't need to take banking holidays?
120 coins lost?
Heya Dave, any idea what is up with this?
For the past couple weeks, I have been sending PLUS1 from my iHub wallet to Trade Satoshi almost daily. Until Sunday, there had been no problem with this.
However, two 60-coin transfers I made on Sunday 5/27 and Monday 5/28 were debited to my iHub wallet, but have not appeared on the blockchain, which hasn't updated (for me) since Saturday, May 26.
Trade Satoshi never received them. I did not enter an incorrect address (as can be seen in the pic below, it is the same address I always use)
How or why would the coins vanish like that? Why did they transfer fine before and not now? Any ideas? If they failed to appear on the blockchain at all, wouldn't it mean that there is an issue with the iHub wallet?
I guess I am outta ideas, sorry. OTC_Buyer suggests switching to CryptoBridge as a primary exchange. I haven't had time to check it out deeply yet, but that might be a longterm solution. I dislike Trade Satoshi myself for a number of little issues and may change myself.
In the meantime, I guess you'll have to use another device. The only other possible solution I can think of is to clear your browser history and cookies; sometimes that will do the trick.
If that is the issue, then theoretically, changing IP would fix it.
Try using an anonymous proxy to change IP and see if it works (note: it might not work, because a lot of sites ban proxies)
Try accessing TS through this: https://hide.me/en/proxy and see if it helps.
Do they give you the option of switching to SolveCaptcha? Sometimes if I have bandwidth issues, ReCaptcha won't work for me on some sites (the issue has not arisen for me at TS), but switching to another Captcha works...
Just between you, me, and the lampost here, I am not the youngest fart in the world myself. I am just blessed to have a job that enables me play with the computer for much of the day, so I have the time and resources to dope out some of the arcane knowledge only the millennials know about
Coinpot is nice because the six faucets that are attached to it can be left alone all day or collected frequently. You get more if you use the faucets frequently, but if you have other things to do in life besides hit faucets, it is the least labor-intensive to use. Progressive bonus for daily users too. Pro Tip: mine their tokens in a browser while collecting from the six faucets, then convert all coins and tokens to the coin of your choice (no fee to convert or withdraw) Payouts daily (a little slower on weekends)
Faucethub is the mecca of faucet mooches. Faucets galore there. However, those faucets need a lot of attention, and it consumes a lot of time. Converting is not instant and is not always at the best price, and payouts are kinda slow. Still, it is a good central destination for all things a cryptomooch might want.
There are more, but those keep me busy enough that I don't need any others.
As one mooch to another, you can be making $3-$4 daily if you add some BTC coin faucets to your routine. It does indeed add up; I was very excited to cross the 0.01 BTC threshold today, all mooched for free...
They may well love it, but not enough to raise the currency value above 0.00000001 BTC, the equivalent of no-bid in pinkieland...
Not sure people are ready yet for satirical money...
It is pretty funny actually. Who said developers don't have a sense of humor?
Know Your Competition:
Remember PLUS1 moguls...there are hundreds of alt-coins out there. Can PLUS1 beat 'em? Time will tell...
Here are a few cryptocurrencies out there currently vying for favor.
And, yes, they are all for real and trade at Trade Satoshi:
(Note: this should not be construed as an endorsement of any of these. I mean, it really, really should not be construed as such...)
4Chan Coin:
Trumpcoin:
Flappycoin:
Potcoin:
Jesus Coin:
The investigation into scam products is primarily aimed at ponzi-type schemes like Bitconnect and Davor Coin.
These are scams that promise ridiculous returns for lending BTC, some claiming 1%-4% an hour. Kind of like the crypto version of HYIPs.
A second common scam are ICOs of coins that are heavily pre-mined. This is more like a traditional pump and dump, where the creators hold over 50% of the float, pump it till it pops, and commence dumping.
These don't have anything really to do with our humble PLUS1, or other legit coins. However, it is good to be familiar with these scams because they aren't always easy to recognize all dressed up in crypto costume.
If OTC has traditionally been dominated by p&d and other scams with or without mafia involvement, crypto adds a whole new dimension, with international scammers running the show.
lol, I didn't even think of that. 60 PLUS1 a day from the faucets for a month just about covers a basic ihub subscription (depending on exchange rate, the PLUS1 is sometimes worth a little more)
Yeah, I often make the point that for all the abuse the Fed and the dollar gets from all kinds of fringes, the fact remains that it has been the most stable currency on Earth for more than a century, through numerous wars and recessions. And I suspect the dollar will be fine long after we are all gone...
It will be a three-step process.
You will need an account with Trade Satoshi or other exchange dealing in PLUS1 (someone here recommended crypto-bridge, which I have not tried)
You will also need an account with Coinbase or similar market that will exchange for fiat currency (not all do)
1. Send your PLUS1 to TS or other exchange, and trade them for BTC or any other cryptocurrency that Coinbase (or similar market) trades in. The most liquid market is in BTC, so probably that is your best bet.
2. Once converted into BTC, you send them to your Coinbase wallet.
3. At Coinbase, sell your BTC for cash and withdraw.
You might want to consider getting a BTC wallet so that you don't have to leave BTC in the exchanges if you don't want to sell it right away. That way, you can keep them safe at home and transfer them to Coinbase when you want to sell.
Transfer fees will apply, and they can vary (this is built into BTC, not the exchanges) so be aware of that. Usually they are negligible, but sometimes they are significant.
Be aware that the blockchain can be slow, especially for BTC, and you won't be getting much done instantly as we are accustomed with normal brokerages and banks. The whole process above may take as long as 48 hours, although a few hours is more the norm.
Not an uncomplicated thing to do, unfortunately. Over time, this ought to improve, but for now it is the way it is.
Trade Satoshi doesn't deal in funds, just coins. Selling or buying at the bid/ask is instantaneous, but if you write your own order you may wait for it to be filled.
Transferring coins into Trade Satoshi has taken me anywhere from 10 minutes to 10+ hours (BTC tends to move slowly). I haven't attempted a withdrawal from TS yet, but I assume it will take about the same time.
I don't know about the others here, but I have been converting about 80% of my Plus1 to BTC all along. I'm up to .0095 BTC now, just from Plus1 and some BTC faucets
Only six? C'mon, what are ya a bunch of pikers?
The iHub chart is useless as far as displaying volume is concerned (and near useless for anything else)
Here are the trades at Trade Satoshi in the last 24 hours. This does not include transactions at any other exchange:

BTC to zero?
https://www.ccn.com/decent-probability-bitcoin-price-goes-to-zero-vanguard-economist/
This kinda echoes some of my biggest doubts about crypto. I still have the nagging suspicion that crypto is the cabbage patch doll of the 2010s.
Who knows? But the one thing I do know is that if BTC were a stock with that chart, I would not be buying now.
Hope I'm wrong (again), but one thing is for sure: if BTC is on its way back to zero, it will take everything, including PLUS1, with it...
Those are valid arguments, and those are the primary reasons why my btc holdings are limited to what I could mooch from faucets for free.
However, there are some pretty compelling arguments on the other side too, if you can wade through the copious amounts of BS out there.
A coin that can barely be spent and can't accrue interest doesn't seem worth thousands to me, but if its utility improves, it isn't worth zero either. I don't think it is a good thing to throw money at while it is in the stratosphere now though. Maybe when it returns to three digits...
Great, I appreciate the tip! I will explore it. I have a lot of little beefs with TS...
Oh, when the zombie apocalypse happens -and it will- this will not be "useless stuff" to know
I would like to move the center of my meager operations to a better exchange, but I need them to deal in PLUS1, which almost nobody does. Does crypto-bridge? I tried googling but found no ready answer.
Well, I would be lying if I told you Trade Satoshi is not a clumsy, clunky, fairly user-unfriendly site to use. Keep in mind, this is all noob-babble:
At its heart, it is no different than any other market. You slap the ask, whack the bid, or set your own price and wait for a fill.
Of course, then you have obtained btc, but it is locked up in Trade Satoshi's grubby hands. So, you'd need a btc wallet to have it secure at home. Btc wallets are annoying because they can take days to sync the first time. Trade Satoshi is annoying because they set minimums for withdrawals.
Then, if you need cash, you gotta send that btc to a cash market like Coinbase. Keep in mind that you lose a transaction fee each time you move coinage anywhere. Then, ya gotta wait for Coinbase to send you the green, which usually is slower than most people are accustomed to.
So, is it not confusing? No, it is plenty confusing. And time-consuming, and sometimes costly.
And until this mess is streamlined into a simple system the public and merchants can actually use as currency, instead of just collecting it, I'd say crypto has not yet proven itself. Buying a loaf of bread is technically possible if you are flush with PLUS1's, but the steps and costs and time necessary to make it happen makes it not worth it except for the crypto-obsessed.
Beware of too many eggs in one basket... Never marry a pinky...uh...I mean, cryptocoin...
I think we will see 6000s pretty soon.
btc under $8000. It might be on its way back to the $6000's (who knows, but the chart suggests it) This usually drags most coins with it. We shall see what PLUS1 does. If btc does approach $6000, it might be worth thinking of converting any excess PLUS1's.
The funny thing is all seem to be drawing from the same reserve now. They all list 16,928.34 coins remaining. That (I think?) has changed from before; I seem to recall them having separate reserves.
That's weird; they worked fine for me 5 minutes ago. Maybe you are getting a cached version? I don't know why it wouldn't work for you.
All three faucets are at the top of that page (they look like adverts, so you might have overlooked them)
Guys (and janice), you do realize that the 'big' faucets are back on again, don't you?
Their payouts have changed again; each is offering 10 coins. Not as many as the halcyon days, but with the 'old' faucet, it means between 30.01 and 40 coins a day. Not too shabby, unless you've been spoiled...
No offense and with all due respect and admiration for the great and important contribution you have made to the iHub community through the years, but...I never thought I'd live to see the day when the formidable and rightfully feared janice shell would sound like a degenerate gambler with the dt's...
We may have to create a Plus1 12-Step program. I hate what Plus1 is doing to the great minds of our generation...
Now excuse me while I go hit up faucethub like...how did somebody put it?...like a coked up monkey on the bongos...
I am just holding out hope for those who despair. It is still possible, you'll hit it next time. Pro Tip: It's all in the wrist...
Booyah! The faucets may be gone, but on the original one I just got my 4th tenner! :-b
BTC acting a little bullish; let's see if it can lift all ships again.
