Luno Support and Queries Thread

Ethereum addresses don't have a format apart from the length and 0x prefix. As a safety mechanism some wallets will require it be formatted with upper- and lowercase letters as a checksum. For the Ethereum network there's no difference between the two.

You can convert the address by entering it in Etherscan

Ethereum (ETH) Blockchain Explorer

Etherscan allows you to explore and search the Ethereum blockchain for transactions, addresses, tokens, prices and other activities taking place on Ethereum (ETH)

etherscan.io

Thank you very much

So why do we get these Luno messages on our mobile devices, when neither I nor my wife have ever knowingly had anything to do with Luno?

"Dear Luno user: Your Luno bitcoin account has not yet been upgraded on our 2019 platform, blah, blah .......

to secure your BTC wallet.

Phising attemps - block the numbers of the scammers!

Did you guys notice the Post-Only order tick box in the order screen? Not sure I entirely understand what that is.

It's been around for a while, post-only orders force a maker order even if you enter a price that will make you a taker - it just cancels the order. It's useful for avoiding fees.

@Lunomoney I received an email about my account and that I need to upload my documentation (apparently something went wrong when i tried to upload my documentation before). I haven't received any phishing attempts claiming to be Luno before so this came as a surprise. Furthermore, my account is and has been fully verified (level 3) for the past several years. Whats concerning is the email looks like a genuine Luno email and even the email address used I have received communication through it from Luno several times before.

So my question is, has your "noreply" email system been compromised or someone just sent the right email to the wrong person and I happened to be the recipient in this case?

I got the same email a short while ago...

 

[rick9k]

Just got the same.. and when trying to use luno from ios app.. get bad gateway.. something is fishy

Apparently it's an error on their part - this just dropped on their twitter page

 

[SaiyanZ]

Yeah also go the same email earlier. Was a bit concerned until I realized I don't have any funds/crypto on Luno at the moment.

 

[Swa]

Also got the email today. What's more concerning is that every time I log in Luno asks me to enter the 4 digit code and my browser isn't listed as a used device any more. So their security seems unable to differentiate new and used devices. Their system seems overloaded with the SMS taking half an hour to arrive.

Has anyone been able to transfer from coinomi to Luno? I get an error, invalid bitcoin address. My coinomi is upgraded to the new segwit addresses which is likely the reason because Luno appears to be running legacy addresses.

@Lunomoney any idea on possibly upgrading wallets?

bech32 address adoption is quite slow across the board, best to stick to P2SH addresses - addresses that start with a 3.

Please help. My husband died unexpectedly and had a luno account and money in his wallet. Unfortunately he did not leave us any details of his passwords (we still have access to his email account). We want to contact luno to send necessary documents or whatever they need to be able to 1. close his account and 2. ask them to transfer the money in the wallet, to my account. Anybody knows how to go about this?

Email them directly.

Please explain why Exchanges like yours in South Africa has higher prices. Trading between Margins seems like a Scam that the whole country is abused by. Hedging the Global Exchanges with African money ?
Why not Integrate Liquidity providers or will that be counter productive to your personal Arbitration Exchange scheme?
If you have the time to answer this question i will appreciate it. Dont seem like a plan to offer a service that enhances customer risk

Move to a cheaper one like Valr where you even get paid to provide liquidity.

Thanks for reaching out.

Please remember there is no global price of Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency outside of stablecoins.

For example, the price of Bitcoin is not set by Luno or any other exchange but instead by the buyers and sellers in each individual market. More details on this here:

Why Is The Price of Bitcoin Different In Different Countries?

It's all about supply and demand.

That's not what they said.
Sounds like you just want to moan though.
