I see. Good to know! 

Gosh, buying ETH at USD 50 is hard. Of course, not as painful as 1 BTC but still, the money spent to see so few coins.... 

Luckily I still enjoy to see my half million coins of Doge, which is actually moving a bit! 
Nice to hear that.

Yup, the returns will be in the form of the coin you lent out. The return rate varies for each coin and between different coin. This is because you compete for the best rate to lend out and how high the demand for the coin is. At the moment, ETH rate is very bad, around 0.003% per day. If somebody takes up the loan, the next higher rate will be available. Some coins get good rates for a short period when demand is good.

Just yesterday, somebody requested a huge amount of loan at a rate of 2% per day! for Doge coin. I tell you, it was bliss lending it out. However, most of the loan was returned after a few hours but I still have some running at 2%.

Here's some examples of the rates I'm lending out at this moment:

ETH - 0.0017-0.0029%
XRP - 0.0098%
Maid - 0.048%
Doge - 0.0299 - 2%
Dash - 0.049 %
Clam - 0.1 - 0.974%

Do note the rates is for 24 hours and the calculation starts the minute you loan it out until the guy cancels the loan. It can be the whole tenure (usually I set to 2 days) or it can be a few minutes only!

Anyway, you just have to go to the lending tab and check out the rates for each coin.

I'd suggest pulling it out of the exchange instead.

lending it allows more shorts, diluting your overall value way beyond your tiny rates.

Want better price stability and growth, it's better to hodl.

Don't feed the whales.

Ya, supply and demand. Yeah, 0.003% not really worth it but I lend it out anyway as I'm lending my other coins.

It's not even per hour. The interest starts the second the loan is taken up and updates every 20-30 seconds. Even if the loan is returned in 5 minutes, there will already be interest.
Haiyaaa.... you didn't reply me earlier, whether NAVCOIN has the potential. I bought some to HODL but I think I will load up a bit more tonight.
Haha, supply and demand but it's a good rate. Some coin rates goes as low as 0.0001%!!! It might not last long but BTC is in demand so hopefully the rate stays. Dash has a good rate previously but not now. My dilemma now is whether I should channel more BTC out of cold storage later on. I don't hold much BTC now as most are channeled to altcoins. Haiz.... difficult...

I was actually considering the lending bot but it is 3rd party so I'm not comfortable with that in terms of security. No choice but to manually check on and off.

Going to do a guide on lending too!!! Oooo, I'm so excited!!

I might be wrong, but I think the two largest hardware wallet manufacturers at the moment, Ledger and SatoshiLabs, are still private companies, and not trading on the stock exchange.
So far, I have not heard of any cryptocurrency-related companies being listed on the stock exchange.

Pay attention to Golem, Storj, IPFS filecoin and SWARM.

You're going to witness the mother of all computing and file storage rentals of the planet.

All computers worldwide will contribute, and I mean ALL of them, once they figure out they can  get free utilities by doing so.

NAVcoin dropped 70% since last September to this February......
Only recently it is starting to see some positive trends.
Hopefully the trend continues on.
Why only ETH?
There are many cryptocurrency coins available, like BTC for example.
I would recommend diversifying a bit, and not put all your investments in one cryptocurrency only, no matter how good the future seems.
The majority of my crypto-nestegg is also in ETH, but I do keep quite a few other types as well.

I see. Interesting.

I'm interested to know where you source your equipment. I guess it is easy for you to buy them at your location?  Do you mind just letting me know briefly what kind of setup is involved? Won't be simple I guess? 
Look at DCR, reaching your buy in price soon! 

I think NAV will go up too, like all the altcoins that ISN'T BEING DELISTED!!!! 
ETH is good. It is highly probable you won't go wrong with this one.

Look at the front page, #2 post below the lending guide. There are links for ETH. You can see there are many projects built on ETH.

Even after so many hacking incidents and all exchanges have been much more careful and vigilant, there are still hack and theft cases happening even today.
Please be extra careful with your investments and always put your stash in hardware wallets.
Never put more than what is needed for trading, on online exchanges.

As long as your coins are stored on an online exchange connected to the internet, they are never really truly safe.
A system that is 99.9% secure just means that you have a 0.1% security risk.
It all depends on your risk appetite, really...... how comfortable you are leaving them on the exchange versus how much you loathe the trouble of transferring them to your hardware wallet.

And remember one important fact.
If you don't control the private keys to your coins, they are not really truly yours.

the only time you're truly safe is you and only you having possessions of the private keys.

exchanges are like public toilets, get in, do your business, get out.

Yes, of course I do.
But because back then I was only accumulating bitcoin, the hardware wallet that I bought could only support bitcoin (CoolWallet).
These days, I recommend you get the Ledger Nano S.
Hardware wallets don't actually store "coins", but rather they store the private keys to your coins.
Always remember, whoever holds the private keys, control and own the coins.

Yes, the Ledger hardware wallet supports BTC, LTC, Zcash, ETH and all ERC20 based tokens via MyEtherWallet.

Just keep your PIN and 24 word seed secure and you can plug it on any virus infested computer and transact without worry.

There the Ledger blue, that comes with touchscreen and Bluetooth, but really it's better to K.I.S.S. (Keep it short and simple)

Crypto support depends on popularity, if another Bitcoin or Ether emerges I'm sure they'll be added for Nano S too.

Your house/car keys also not very fancy, only need to be practical. That goes for crypto security as well.

The developers will usually add on other cryptocurrencies if it becomes popular. It is usually more of a software issue rather than hardware.

Ledger previously didn't support Ripple (XRP). However, XRP community requested support and finally the developers agreed to add it in. I think it is still in the process.

Trezor previously didn't support ETH but recently added support. Also didn't support litecoin natively on Trezor wallet app but recently it did. Again, still in the process to tweak the software. From what I heard, Trezor is coming out with Trezor 2.0.
Owh..... nice nice. Then again, every time buy so painful. What to do... just buy on the rise then......     

Very much hope so!!! 
Most welcome.

I just found out that this website also sells ledger nano S. Looks like it is based in Singapore. Free delivery in Singapore. Registered mail $5 and courier $22 to Sibu. Not bad. wengherng

Happiness is very noticeable, people already noticed how I kept grinning all day during work.

I told them my retirement is merely months away now, they thought I'm crazy haha.

Crazy. Fullstop. But I think I'm crazier than you.

Currently, there is no legislation on cryptocurrency in Malaysia, same as most other countries in the world, as they cannot seem to decide definitively whether it falls under legal tender currency category, or asset category.
For the moment, you can think of it as somewhat like stocks, where you buy and trade. There are no taxes on profits from the stock market.
We're all a bunch of crazies here......

wengherng Can you kindly add this part to our guide, under "How to buy cryptocurrencies (bitcoins and altcoins) in Malaysia (using MYR)?". The last part after mentioning all the available exchanges. Thx!

Important : In order to get the best BTC price, it is recommended that you check out the prices on all 4 BTC/MYR exchanges. For today, Localbitcoins and Remitano prices are too high. Xbit Asia lower but the best price is at Luno. The only problem with Xbit and Luno is you need to login/sign up to see BTC market details and you need to transferred money to the exchange's bank account which will only be reflected in your account after they have processed it.
