I like Cryptocompare's site...

https://www.cryptocompare.com/

They were mentioned in an MS Azure newsletter a few days ago too.

Does anybody know what the 'fill' value on Luno exchange means ? Previous buy orders displayed a value but one that went through early this morning does not:

Description             Market      Fill    Value   Fee	   Created
Buy 0.005 @ 21,533	BTC/ZAR	    –	    –	    –	   5/4/2017, 15:08

Also, the 0.005 bitcoins do not reflect in my balance

I think you will have to wait for 2 or 3 days for the bitcoin to show in your account. I waited 2 days for my last btc purchase using Capitec.

I sent Capitec a suggestion to add a bitcoin/altcoin wallet to their portfolio, imagine doing it was interaccount transfers.

For normal buying/selling yes, but this was on the exchange where a bid/ask completes almost immediately.

Awesome thanks!

Does this mean the taxman can't touch my bits?

Somehow I think Luno will give your bits to the taxman on a plate, no?

Yay. And the exchange rate even more favourable today

I'm curious, what's your current ROI?

OK, guys. What's the best/most secure Bitcoin wallet out there?

 

[jacosmit]

Haven't worked it out, probably close to 0 or below. My GTX1060 klapped the DaggerHashimoto algoryth this last week.

Depends who you ask. Some people still suggest using a "paper" wallet. I'm using Luno and Coinbase myself.

Don't use an exchange as a wallet.

There is little clarity on this. I think there was a statement from SARS some time ago that for the time being they consider cryptocurrency neither an asset nor a currency, which seems to imply that no taxes could be applied to it, but I have a feeling this will change rapidly if their value and trade in them keeps growing.

Why?

I just started and it's already complicated

 

[dj2381]

I should be getting $30 today for 3 days mining, woohoo, also what's wrong with the Luno exchange as a wallet?

 

[dj2381]

So according to the nicehash calculator a 1080ti will make just over $1500, two of those in SLI will do nicely :twisted:

 

[lucifir]

exchanges have been hacked before, not to mention fold with you likely to lose everything, see mt gox,etc.

I can't believe how fast Ethereum is rising. $88 yesterday, $98 today.
