  • Bitcoin Garden Forum: 27 Feb 2018 Newsletter #19
    « on: February 27, 2018, 05:52:45 PM »
    Hello my dear forum member.

    This is Secco, admin of Bitcoin Garden Forum, writing. Welcome to this new edition of the Bitcoin Garden Newsletter. Lots of stuff in this edition, including an important security patch for Electrum, some interesting giveaways and a couple of promo codes for upcoming crypto conferences.

    Global awareness for crypto is growing, so conferences about crypto are popping up almost everywhere. Attending an event is funny and you can make pretty good business contacts. If you're a newbie, there's a lot you can learn from experienced people. As general rule, the top international conferences, like the ones mentioned below in this newsletter are something really important if you're running a crypto business. Most of the times, tickets prices are not very low, but sometimes there are promos like discounted tickets for students and stuff like that. Also, I always try to obtain promo codes for Bitcoin Garden users, so watch for those! Beside the big conferences, there are also a lot of small local meetups, generally free entry, and, if you're lucky enough, you can find one in your area. If not, think about organizing one yourself! 4 or 5 people meeting for a beer in a pub is already a good start. Point of fail, for those small meetups, is that most of the times they are not advertised at all and they fail to reach the potential audience. I would like to remind we have an events board on the forum where you're welcome to spread the word about your local meeetups. In case you're running a Telegram, Whatsapp, Slack, Discord channel for local or general crypto discussion (or you know a good one) you're also welcome to share the link in the crypto resource board. Spreading knowledge and information is good and can help the whole crypto community to grow, just be kind and do not spam!

    ELECTRUM SECURITY WARNING! A vulnerability has been found in Electrum, and patched in version 3.0.5. Please update your software if you are running an earlier version!

    NEW FAST GROWING EXCHANGE: Bibox is a new and fast growing cryptocurrency exchange. The founding team is formed by top tier Chinese Blockchain & Crypto giants such as Okcoin and Houbi core team. It is already the 23rd exchange in terms of volume but still few people even knows about it yet. You may want to have a look and securing an account there, in case they decide to close registrations: https://bitcoingarden.org/data/clk/BiboxExchange.php

    POLONIEX EXCHANGE ACQUIRED BY CIRCLE: Circle announced Monday that it has acquired the U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange Poloniex, confirming recent rumors about the deal. In the near term, platform updates will be behind-the-scenes and focused on improving the existing user experience instead of radically altering the product. The team expect no disruptions in service nor in the availability of your funds. Circle and Poloniex have committed to preserving the features and functionality that have helped the platform grow to where it is today.

    OBJECT OF DESIRE! LEDGER NANO S IS BACK ON STOCK! Free standard tracked shipping to major destinations. Ledger Nano S is a Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum hardware wallet, based on robust safety features for storing cryptographic assets and securing digital payments. It connects to any computer (USB) and embeds a secure OLED display to double-check and confirm each transaction with a single tap on its side buttons. ERC20 Tokens can be managed as well, connecting it to MyEtherWallet. Security is a very important matter for the crypto lover. If you own more than one week of your wage in crypto, I would encourage you to think about getting an hardware wallet, you won't regret it. For my needs, I bought 2 Nano S, one for daily usage and another for long term storage. And I'm pretty happy with my choice. You can buy it directly from the website of the producer, current price is 94.80 EUR and includes tax and shipping: https://bitcoingarden.org/data/clk/LedgerNanoS.php

    QUICK UPDATE ON THE CRYPTO CREDIT CARD MASSACRE: As you may be aware, Wavescrest, a company that was issuing cards for a number of major crypto companies run into some problems with Visa and at the end of the story all their cards are no longer working. This problem affected a big number of people who are no longer able to spend crypto with their cards. At present time all these companies are looking for a solution but there's not a clear schedule available yet. So far there are only 3 or 4 services with a working card. I'm not going to provide the full list of the working cards, as I've not tested them all personally, but you can easily find them looking on the crypto forums. Personally, I requested and already obtained a physical MasterCard from Epayments and I can confirm it is working pretty fine. The interface is good and easy to use. Pro of their system is that you can add fund via BTC, BCH, BTG, ETH and LTC. The thing that I really don't like is that they have an "inactivity fee" in case you don't use the card for some time. I consider those inactivity fees a thing that really sucks, but unfortunately the other services I checked before making my choice have the same "feature". So, I picked what I believe is the best choice for me. If you want to have a look at their service, to see if it fits for you, here is the link: https://bitcoingarden.org/data/clk/EpaymentsCard.php
