What's the best exchange/wallet to use for cardano?

I live in Texas so cannot use binance

I had a Binance account before as well, you just need to open a binance.us account. https://www.binance.us/en/home
Might take awhile though to get verified, not sure. I have a referral code https://accounts.binance.us/en/register?ref=53516528

I'm using this wallet that was recommended. https://adalite.io/ I haven't tried the native ADA wallet.

I had a Binance account before as well, you just need to open a binance.us account.

As mentioned, I live in Texas, I cannot use binance at all

Kraken is good for ADA.
Deposits are weird if you want to use a bank. Transfer btc then trade is easiest way.

I ran 3 x RX470s bolted to a piece of MDF for over 3 years. They were all overclocked, jammed together on the same motherboard. They are still running without any issues.

I moved them into two different cases and they are mining RVN now.

So pretty much 4 years, running 24/7 as fast as I could get them to go with absolutely no issues.

Just for fun I found some pictures of the old miner. Little bugger made me about $6,000 over its life.

I'm using crypto.com for cardano

Can you stake Cardano on crypto.com? I thought Binance offered it, but apparently that's Binance, not Binance.us.

Finally got USD verified on Binance, btw. 5 weeks from account open to that point.

You can stake Cardano here. https://adalite.io/

This is what I use with my ledger to stake my cardano.

Dammit. I was some freakin' CEL, but can't find a way to buy it.

I was also eying GHST with all the NFT stuff flying around. I had my eye on MATIC (Polygon) a few weeks ago at ~$0.04, didn't pull the trigger and it's up 500% to $0.229.

Once again, I'm kicking myself.

I just converted $5k more from BTC to Cardano at $1.19. Pretty much all in on this one for now.

The sheer amount of vitriol amongst the traditional stock traders for crypto is astonishing to me. I also follow a fanatical F.I.R.E. group and they are like white supremacists, and crypto isn't white.

Same old (and tired) arguments also...nothing has changed. We are still so early.

Factoid of the day - On Oct 8th (2020) corporations held $618,000,000 in Bitcoin. By February 24th that number was $74,000,000,000. In 4.5 months!

Were you over in the stock thread again?

Tulips I tell you!!!

Ponzi, tulips blah blah blah. I hope the haters never buy so they can mara nate in their rage. What a riot it will be when bitcoin hits 100,00 , 200,000... It almost gives me hive s in my comfy hut counting my monster gains.

How long does it typically take Binance to clear a BTC deposit? I finally closed my original Binance account and opened a Binance US account last week. I moved $500 of BTC over from Coinbase and I can see it's been received at Binance, but it's still not showing up as tradeable coin many days later. I was hoping to buy some ADA.

And related, if I'd done the transaction with ETC or another coin, would it have happened faster? I've owned crypto for a long time, but I don't move it around very often.

I sent some LTC from coinbase to binance last week. It wasn't instantaneous, that's for sure. Made me a little nervous. Maybe 45 minutes? But I was able to trade it as soon as it was there.

BTC transfers were taking anywhere from 30 - 60 minutes from Coinbase to Binance.US last week. My buddy moved some ETH over the weekend. I think he said they went through in about 5 - 10 minutes.

You want to look at the trading pairs if you're going to be trading. Meaning, don't send BTC to Binance if you want to buy something that only has an ETH trading pair.

Do you have the TX number? We can check it on the blockchain and see if it's been confirmed.

I would think BTC would be tradeable ASAP, but an ACH deposit or otherwise does take several days. If you go to one of those "history" screens for the transaction it should say something about it. I had bought the ADA and wanted to move it out but was getting the big NO from Binance until I saw that it said that it would be able to withdraw in "2 days" or whatever it was.

The poker site I like takes crypto and I always do LTC now because it does go through in a minute or 2 vs an hour for BTC.

Does anyone here own some singularityNET AGI? It’s one I think would be good to buy into, but I’d have to sign up for another exchange (likely binance).

13 days till Spring tournament on binance

No clue what that is?

https://www.binance.com/en/support/articles/161aba5e8bee490faf0df18c6ab01d87

I did read that and it makes absolutely no sense at all.

lol welcome to every Binance news item or promotion. Complete Greek to me.

True but last years only profit on profit..

I figured it out with more snooping and feel like an idiot, my Binance balance screen was defaulting to hide balance, clicked the eye graphic and it showed. Thanks!

It's always a damn checkbox!!

Glad you got it resolved.

I'm glad someone can use Binance. It still is coming across as a very rinky-dink organization that has no actual humans behind their support, much less any ability to keep track of sensitive document submissions.

Ada is down a bit more today. I'm not buying at the moment, though I am happily still holding. I will buy more if it dips below $1 though. I like the idea of holding, staking and then forgetting about it for a while.

How do you guys feel about Polkadot? I don’t know much about it, but it seems interesting. I plan to hold long term.

I think DOT is a strong altcoin personally.

I think it's a good project and purchased some. Not much though. I think I have around 60 of them.

One of my favorites coins LINK is expanding.

"As announced by Chainlink on Thursday, its price feeds are live on the xDai mainnet, offering price data for an initial set of trading pairs including LINK/USD, AAVE/USD, DOT/USD and SUSHI/USD. More pairs can be quickly added if there is demand, the company said."

I like seeing those DeFi platforms in the list of available price feeds. However, in the second article, the guy running AAVE is not saying nice things about DeFi which has really been leading the charge in the increasing price of alt coins. Interesting to see what happens moving forward because it's been rough for the last 3 weeks or so already.

Is this the beginning of the end for high interest rate returns we are seeing by staking and lending.....I hope not.

I like PolkaDot.

Upsides
Great growth potential.
Love the 12% staking.
New developments frequently.

Downsides
Complex system and can be difficult to work with.
Lots concepts and things in project status.
Tough competition.

12% staking is impressive! I'll have to read up on that.

Who is that through? I'll have to see what I'm getting through Kraken.....At least that's where I think my DOT is these days.

I fibbed. I just bought more at 1.06. Will be interesting to see how low it goes before rebounding.

I looked and that's where I'm staking too. Thanks!

Anyone around here ever use Uniswap? It looks like the fees have dropped significantly so I was thinking it might be time to try and get some Celsius. I've never used it before. I'm thinking after the swap, I could just send it to my Celsius wallet where I'm staking SNX.

Looks like I can connect to an ETH wallet and just click the swap button. But where does it go once it's swapped?

Good stuff in the Kraken monthly recap for anyone that didn't get it.

https://kraken.docsend.com/view/ntas7cfpyy92xee9

It’s like crickets in here when things are down.

I grabbed 2.2 AAVE today. I didn’t have the energy or the nerve to mess with Uniswap.

Following!

I bought more BTC. I just don't announce every time I buy.

Waiting for an actual pullback.. March is historically a good month for that, but it's still early.

Can someone decipher this for me? I’m pretty much lost.

Sounds like somebody gamed the system to the tune of 8.3 million by manipulating Binance's matching engine...whatever that is.

So they were holding a large short contract (betting that the price would go down to $10). Then they manipulated Binance's system with a large leveraged long position which they knew (or hoped) would cause a flash crash to at least hit their $10 target triggering their short bet. They did this using separate accounts.
