Unfortunately, yes.
This is directly affected by the number of users and by extension, the total liquidity on the platform itself.
More liquidity, smaller buy/sell spread.
Xbit Asia's liquidity is just too low.

Ah crap.
I never tested my seed before I transferred my stash.
Now you got me worried......

Yup......let's do this.
Meanwhile, you think it is worthwhile to just copy/paste the entire first post into the new thread's first post?
I think it's pretty good and concise.
Or you have something else in mind?

Yeah, going to do that later.

OK sure.
As planned, once it reaches 250 pages here, I will open a new thread with a few "reserved" posts at the beginning, for this purpose.
Let's say......6 reserved posts?

Yes.

Your S$105 price is inclusive of delivery to Malaysia?

Yes, but he's got a point too.
We all have to do our due diligence before putting our hard earned money anywhere.
Too many smart scammers these days.

If you're in Malaysia, then the short answer is yes.
Of course, there are some other alternatives as well, such as using other platforms, or buying directly from some forumers here, or whatnot.
Check out the first page, under "How to buy altcoins".
You'll find a wealth of information there.

kmarc, your favourite SC coin is now in a slight discount......about US$ 0.014 at the moment.
Very tempting......I think I will nibble a little today.

Admittedly, I didn't go into the nitty gritty details of their whitepaper, but just watching the video, purely at face value, it doesn't really strike me as truly innovative and unprecedented.
For example, Humaniq is another ERC20 token that claims to do exactly the same, i.e. bringing financial services into the billions of unbanked people across the world, and in fact they have already developed their biometric technology app coupled with very cheap smartphones in order to increase their user base penetration.
I mean, it's a great idea, but seems they are not the only one doing it, nor the earliest.

Ah OK, you were talking about the blockchain part of it......I misunderstood you then.
I was thinking about the real-world application of the whole technology, i.e. the services it would provide.
Anyway, yeah I guess purely from the investment/profit side of it, there is a chance it might get snatched up pretty quickly, seeing how ICOs these days go.

What do you mean by a "cryptocurrencies company"?
An exchange platform, like Luno, XBit Asia, Coinhako, Poloniex, etc.?

If you have invested in an ICO and obtained the tokens, and then the token is finally listed on an online exchange (e.g. Poloniex, Bittrex, etc.), you can sell your tokens on those exchanges and cash out your profits anytime.

You mean, coming out with your own token and then an ICO, etc.?
Interesting.
Do you have a whitepaper?

Any funds in your account can be withdrawn at any time, only standard GIRO fees apply (i.e. RM 0.11).

With a 24-word recovery seed using BIP44, you are talking about possible combinations in the magnitude of quadrillions.
The chances of someone randomly guessing all the correct 24 words in the exact order is practically infinitesimal and therefore negligible.
Actually, by comparison, there is a far greater chance of you losing the recovery phrase yourself (i.e. destroyed, stolen, misplaced, etc.).

This is not a silly question at all, and deserves a little bit of understanding.

What you wrote above, "0x......ad......" is the so-called *real* (or raw) ethereum address, which is represented in pure hexadecimal format.
In this format, the addresses with some capital letters are check-summed, while the addresses with all small letters are not check-summed, but otherwise, both addresses are exactly the same address, and both can be used without worry (i.e. technically speaking, NOT case sensitive, as WooTz already mentioned).
The check sum feature is used by some compatible wallet software to check that the address is valid and ensure that the address was not mistyped.

However, in the case of bitcoin, when we send bitcoins to another address, we do not use this address (hexadecimal form), but instead use a Base-58 format (for example 1P2cWsE3GVdB6BLKafkqxHtWAZgFt5Jvm3) which does not contain characters that will confuse users, i.e. 0, O, I and l), and has checksum and version number built-in.
In this instance, the address *is case-sensitive* and must be entered EXACTLY as it is.

Bingo.
For some folks, it's not really an issue and they don't worry about it.
For paranoid (and poor ) people like me who could not afford to lose a single cent, I double and triple check the addresses myself before each transaction.

Also, do take note that recently, I've read that some people have their computers infected with a very small malware/virus that will surreptitiously change the bitcoin addresses whenever you click "copy", i.e. when you click copy, the addresses gets stored on the clipboard, and the virus changes the address on the clipboard.
So, when you paste the address, it is actually a different address, i.e. the address of the hacker.
It pays to be careful and check the address again before you hit the "send" button.

I've only read about it from a victim over reddit, but have not encountered it myself, so I don't have too much information about it, unfortunately.
In any case, it is very easy to spot, since you really only need to be aware of the first and last few characters of the address once you pasted it.
You just have to be a little bit more vigilant.

Again, it is practically impossible that the hacker's address looks even remotely similar to your actual intended address, so even just a quick glance would be sufficient to alert you if the address seems different.
