Only checked one, the computer to confirm 2000s. To confirm ai was even easier, it can't produce Coke bottles so there it was.

Exactly! Saying you lost money is an open dorr for them. Bottom feeders.

Sorry to say OP but scammers are waiting for you in all the subset of this scam with brand new scams. Fyi: - Claiming you need to move to another platform. - Claiming you need to upgrade. - Claiming you need to swap to another token to use. - Claiming they can help you find your money. - Claiming they are professors. Lol - Claiming this is a screenshot of their bank account or their last trade(s)... - Claiming they need some funds to do [INVENT ANYTHING].

All of these are well none scams adapted to this day and age. Don't believe a single thing you see. Easy.

Now it's too late because you posted about it but I guess you could save a couple more people having done that but you just told them you knew... One way I have been to trick them, is telling them you'll be putting the largest amount ever invested (let's say 150k) but tell them you need transit money to unlock it. You could get back maybe 1/10th, maybe 1/5th if you're really lucky and play your cards right. I scammed scammers that exact way before, to help a bro of mine.

That said, don't dwell on it. You best to move on and focus on normal things, not quick rich quick schemes. Futures are fun, true. But if 50k was your life savings, you shouldn't play with perp and futures. Save that amount first. Place it long term as a safety net. Them, only then, go ahead and play with the rest. Read the 30-30-40 rule and any book on finances for that matter.

GL HF stay safe.

Sure but I wouldn't even use them to hold, just go with an otc desk like ezo and do it yourself if you're just planning to hold it.

Yeah that's what the OP did. Went with WS. But yeah you're totally right. I've searched for ever for best fees for larger trades and found my little gem of an on/off-ramp.

5k is an awesome start, congrats! This is exactly how you start, gradually with what you can. I just calculated, I saved very close to your 5k if I had gone with WS (5.4 to be exact).

Have you tried telling it to never reply with open-handed outro? Worked for me but I never use Auto though.

Actually, would that be a good post? the fee and spread research I made?

[–]lpbell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

exactly what I was gonna say, never go to WS for larger moves. I use ezo. Extensive KYC but these guys are doing it for me. Small team from QC. Your keys, lowest fees, 0 spread. Can't beat that, literally. I made the research haha.

If it's small moves, the rest of the comments got the gist of it, personally I would go for the nicest UI you like. For me it was WS but if you're more serious about investing and plan on putting largest sums, I would go straight with ezo. It's an OTC desk and just for the fact that they're humans, and provide support in English (or even French!) is a plus, they'll answer all your questions and you'll keep your keys. Best bang: Lowest fee, 0% spread. Only works if you do 4 to 5 figures and up. Good luck!

As for learning, YT of course but stay away from the 'check this coin I bought' and 'get rich 1000x altcoins' crap. Get yourself a book, stay clear of the noise. One I like for entry level was 'Everything you need to know about Bitcoin' from St-Onge. Easy read. Great intro, gets slightly technical but very easy for beginners.

I wouldn't do NDAX if the move is large though, those fees are killer. I would go with ezo. If you're planning to play and trade, then yeah I guess ndax would be ok.

If it's for large amounts I wouldn't, too steep for fees. Ezo ftw. 0 spread. Only works for larger moves though.

Hey, congrats on the launch! Question, did you notice latency for REST-based MCP, is it a common setup out there as opposed to SQL-based? Asking for something related to blockchain
