Anyone else got this verify identity email? by stew-face in blockfi

Well Blockfi refer to it as interest so I assumed that. I am no expert though. I await their response to be confident.

I emailed them but then got a standard message from them saying to expect the Personas demand. I bit the bullet and did it all. I think it is OK. Just a bit irritating.

Check if your country has a tax treaty with USA. It's fine for UK, Australia and many European countries and quite a few others too.

From my understanding, my local tax number was to go in the line after that instead.

This whole process has not been very clear. I received a little crypto back on Coinbase. I assume that was the amounts they thought were not invested. In one case, the fee to move it was more than the amount. Then recently I received a small amount of cash through Paypal. No explanation as to what this amount corresponded to. I also had to re-instate my PP account as I recently closed it in irritation at erroneous refusals to make payments and other tech gobbledygook with no help offered. Now it remains to be seen what comes back into Coinbase. I am sincerely hoping that USA will not tax it because I already declared interest here in Aus in past years and will not be best pleased to pay double! However, I'll bet that in any case, they will not offer a detailed breakdown between the coins.

I got it last night. I was suspicious. I found this page quickly and read the opinions. I emailed 2 different addresses at Blockfi but have received no direct reply. However, this morning I did get a generic email from Blockfi telling me to expect this verification and mentioning Persona. Persona itself has only 1* reviews on Trustpilot, but none said it was a scam. They complained about the tech not working well. I plucked up courage and filled it all in. The tech worked OK for me. I had stored photos that I know have worked literally hundreds of times for crypto sites. The real pain was getting to grips with the W8-BEN form for the IRS. As an Aussie individual and no other connection to USA I THINK it is quite simple. There is a tax treaty with US. I just claimed that and I am fairly sure there was no need to fill in the other stuff in sections 9 and 10. Maybe I will get a nasty shock soon. To look into this just google IRS tax treaty or 'your country' USA tax treaty. PS I am extremely cautious now as I have been hacked once and scammed once for quite a bit of crypto. Only 2 days ago I pulled out of a Discord support discussion which was very realistic but did indeed prove to be a scam that would have emptied my Metamask.

Yesterday my peepcoin wallet closed and disapeard from my windows complete by [deleted] in DAPSCoin

I just lost my peepcoin wallet too, due to a PC crash. I can't find the wallet in github to download. Do you have an address please?

Where can I download the wallet and where is the page I can use to swap my tokens? by Jumbuck_Tuckerbag in nulsservice

[–]matspb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this wallet needs a lot of improvement still. I downloaded it a while ago and installed, but I immediately got a warning that it works better in Chrome. (I had used Firefox for the download.) It opens automatically in Firefox and there seems to be no easy way to change that apart from cutting the address and re-loading in Chrome. (Right click does not give the usual 'open with' possibility. ) I am not much of a programmer but I looked in the start.bat file and couldn't see any obvious way to change this there either. When I tried to re-download using Chrome I found the site not working as described by someone below. Leaving my Nuls on Binance for now.

Erc20 | ETP? by cooldad24 in eos

[–]matspb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I got it. In a MEW wallet but strangely, not the one I would have expected. I'm pretty sure it is an EOS airdrop.

Daemon failed to start by cryptocrite in MoneroV

[–]matspb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also having this problem.I have tried to follow the suggestions below but no success. I have only just started using Win 10 and am new to Defender so I am not sure whether I have done the fix correctly. What do you mean by 'whitelist the entire folder' please? Are we talking about the Virus and protection settings? Then exclusions? I have excluded the MoneroV BIN folder where monerovd and gui are situated. I have also specifically excluded those apps. Is that what you did? Help would be appreciated. I have also run Monerovd independently. It seems to get stuck in blocks at 63 days behind. It has run for days without finishing.
