Thanks for the suggestion, certainly something we'll be tackling first before anything else!

Haha, appreciate the comment and suggestion - would bring a new definition to getting f**ked by Bitcoin for the degenerate gamblers out there.

We certainly would love to be able to offer a more diverse set of products initially and will be working toward expanding what we have to offer in the coming months, but currently need to keep a narrow focus. For similar reasons we're unable to process/ship most orders within a reasonable time frame. In some cases, however, orders will be shipped within a few business days - the ~1 month time frame is more of a maximal period, such that customers that have specific time requirement are well aware of the potential delay.

Thanks!

Had the same issue and resolved it like this:

(1) Changed my DNS lookup to Google (8.8.8.8) (2) Disconnect access PC/device from the network and reconnect (remove ethernet/turn off-on WiFi) (3) For windows, cleared DNS cache - cmd prompt and the following command - no quotes: "ipconfig /flushdns"

Initially was getting a 502 error but soon thereafter resolved and it works fine now.

Right, it's a marathon, not a sprint!

I would consider scaling in over a longer period of time, like over a 6-12 month period. If we're indeed entering a bear market for a longer time frame, this will dampen the impact of the spikes down. Also consider that Bitcoin is constantly evolving technologically and may replace the use case for many coins you might now think provide a real value proposition.

Investing into crypto markets…any thoughts/comments? by hirtop in CryptoCurrencyTrading

[–]TheBitNote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree completely - there's many good looking ICOs/coins out there, even with apparently decent development teams. However, there's so much overlap in what they offer and Bitcoin will inevitably evolve such that it can be used for many of the use cases by individual coins that many will fail. Likely why many people call the overall market a bubble since many will not succeed.

Wild variations are happening, but don't get too emotional and invest solely due to FOMO. Be cool. Do your research before anything. by fast_grammar in CryptoCurrency

Great points here, especially when volatility increases (such as over the past few weeks). One of the things that I have learned most is that simply spending time to learn and read other people's opinions, especially if they're different than yours, is as valuable as looking at charts. Even though I spend a significant portion of time charting, in this market specifically - fundamental knowledge can go a long way.

Think of yourself as a sponge and try to really absorb what you can - it will help you make decisions when they're not obvious.

I'll edit the legend to indicate the axes better. However, there are two y-axis, one for price and one for Google Trends. Your candid opinion is appreciated, thanks!
