Can somebody help me to figure out how to use Stellar's Decentralized trading platform?

I probably do it wrong. I've used stellarterm.com to exchange my XLM to "BTC assets". But I can't get how to move those "BTC assets" to my real Bitcoin wallet.

Is there any tutorial or step by step instructions? Does Stellar's Decentralized trading platform even work?

Is NaoBTC down?

I went to stellarterm.com and traded my XLM for naobtc BTC assets. I've sent my naobtc assets to my bitcoin address using these instructions https://naobtc.com/#/howto/withdraw but this didn't work. Still nothing in my bitcoin wallet.

Is there an easy way to sell XLM for real BTC without using an exchange that requires ID verification?

Re: If you had to choose to put 5 BTC into 1 BTC investment, what would that be?

This "POS reward" is such a bullshit. You are not paid in Bitcoin. You are SELLING your Bitcoin to get some shitcoins that have inflation, and that inflation (POS) is paid back to you in the shitcoins. And guess what? Long term the value of any altcoin always goes down comparing to Bitcoin, no matter how good that coin is. So yes, you got 50% more shitcoins in POS, but by the time you get them they cost much much less in BTC.

Re: I just tested out a bitcoin debit card and it worked!

No, this card also has fees so high that it's unusable.

Even if you manage to avoid monthly fees:
- for each purchase made with the card you pay 0.002 BTC + 1% fee
- for each ATM withdrawal you pay 0.01 BTC + 3% fee

43 out of 51

I felt dumb and disappointed. Questions are fair. But I see here that most you guys are as dumb as I am. So now I don't fell as bad.

Still I can't believe that there is some Bitcoin quiz that I can't pass 51 out of 51. I've always considered myself an Expert.

I sold some alts today to a guy who paid me BTC. I was not releasing escrow before his payment would have at least 1 confirmation, so I kind of felt like a jerk to keep him waiting. Still I got first confirmation in 12 minutes, so it was ok.

Yes this doesn't prove the problem doesn't exist, I just didn't experienced it today.

I use Gyft app to buy things I would normally buy anyway. My go to places are Starbucks, Amazon, Whole Foods etc. But I buy things using the app instead of credit card. Gyft pays me points (3% for purchases using Bitcoin).

Gyft doesn't convert points into Bitcoin directly, but I just calculate how much money I saved and I buy Bitcoins on Circle using my saved dollars. This is how I grow my own Bitcoins.

Re: how to be millioner from bitcoin....

You guys are being too complicated. It's really not that difficult. The OP just wants $1,000,000 USD's worth from bitcoins, right? It can't be easier. Let me give you all the steps you need to achieve that.


Step 1: Start with $2,000,000 USD.

Step 2: Using that money, buy bitcoins from a shady exchange, and keep trading.

Step 3: Stop when you have $1,000,000 USD's worth of bitcoins left, then convert back to USD.



Man, you beat me. Your way is much simpler then what I was thinking:

Step 1. First you need to become a billionaire

Step 2. Put all of your money into bitcoin.

Step 3. "Diversify" your bitcoins by moving all of them into small 50 BTC paper wallets with no private key backup

Step 5. Start burning your paper wallets one by one until you're left with $1,000,000 worth of Bitcoin.

Congratulations! You've become Bitcoin millionaire!!

BTW, did you ever wonder why Satoshi never moved his money out of numerous 50 BTC addresses he owns? That's why! He become bitcoin millionaire.

Given how hard it is to agree on a minor and obviously beneficial block size increase to 8 or 20MB, I doubt such a large and destructive change to increase 21M cap can have any chance to happen. Ever.

Speaking of free giveaways. Did anybody mention CLAMs yet? If you had any BTC, LTC or DOGE wallets then you already have 4.6 CLAMs per wallet. You just need to claim it. And these CLAMs are super expensive right now. Current price 0.0067 BTC at Poloniex.

Re: First Bitcoin ATM (BTM) comes to Greece amidst the recession!

I travel to Greece from time to time and I hate taking lots of cash with me or having to use debit card and pay currency exchange + transaction frees. I would love to have some way where I can just exchange my BTC into Euros so I can travel with no worry.

Unfortunately, this ATM doesn't help me because it doesn't do BTC=>fiat.
Unfortunately, even if there would be 2 way ATM in Athens it would probably still have so high fees that using debit card would be cheaper. And I'm taking about very high debit card fees: 3% exchange rate + $0.30 per transaction.
