Guess that's why I said substitute coinbase for circle.

Ok so that means I'm going to be subject to what, a 1.5% fee when using bitcoin? I guess that's still better than the 5-6% deposit fee...

Also what is the daily limit for a brand new account? I would like to get the entire $1000 deposit bonus...

I've only been doing the bitcoin shuffle for maybe 6 months. I'm lost when people say it takes days to buy them. I just purchased a third of a bitcoin. It showed on my dashboard instantly. I then purchased an online egift.com card and sent it to someone as a gift. The entire process took about 4 minutes.

The daily/weekly limit and volatility is a pia.

On a side note, I am a very active arbitrage/hedge trader in the stock market and there is a lot of talk about bitcoins being brought into the mainstream, aka paying utility bills, credit cards, etc... in the coming year or so. It that happens, I would expect the value to jump substantial. Of course, it could all be inane banter, too.

Buying bitcoin shouldn't be a problem. There's a thread in High Stakes No Limit forum with tons of very reputable people selling them.

Wow when did circle stop using Bitcoin, I cashed out by Bitcoin from Bookmaker less than a month ago.

Just be careful with the recent hacking of 2+2 info.

You're right about - at most - one of those things.

Hey thanks for the advice. You mean kraken---->blockchain---> then poker site right?? Not just straight kraken to poker site???? Also how long should it take for the bitcoins to arrive with this method? Since all other ACH payment s seem to be like 3--7 days??

Kraken, blockchain, poker site for sure

what's turnaround time from a blockchain to Coinbase transaction?

The Bitcoin blockchain is very slow. maybe 20-30 minutes at present.

Another benefit of using Coinbase is that you can get a VISA Debit SHIFT Card (https://www.shiftpayments.com/faq) to use against your Coinbase balance. One thing I don't like about the card is that it has a $200 daily ATM limit. I used the card a lot last summer on my Seattle to Vegas and back tour of National Parks.

So it appears there's no solid sites beside coinbase that deal with bitcoin and don't charge a fee to withdraw to bank account?

Is the 2500 weekly limit on coinbase for deposits or withdrawals or both?

QQ for you guys, trying to get bitcoin cashouts enabled on my account; I haven't played in years on here, but am familiar with bitcoin from playing on Ignition. Are these the steps I need to do?

Deposit $10 twice with bitcoin.
Cover the rake requirement.
Bitcoin cashout option should appear?

Deposit(s): Yes, two separate BTC deposits of at least $10.

You don't have to cover the rake requirement for the BTC withdraw option to show up. BUT, you do have to cover the rake requirement before processing a withdrawal.

Easy game... Good luck!

Edit to Add: FYI - Get your account certified ahead of time to avoid any delays down the line with withdrawals.

Thanks. How can I tell if I have covered it or not? (on BCP)

If you're setup on rakeback, click the rewards tab > click rakeback and it will show you the weekly rake paid. On 2 $10 deposits, you should only have to play +/- $2 in rake.

If you're asking about the withdraw via BTC option, after making your 2 deposits, just click on the withdraw tab in the cashier. If BTC withdraw is available it will be listed under your withdrawal options.

Thanks.

Signing up today. Most recommended are options are to sign up at Blockchain and Coinbase, correct?

Any clue if there's a delay or anything? I have deposited twice but option doesn't show up; I figure I'll just contact support if it's not there soon.

Contact email support. Live support is USELESS... If you don't hear anything from them in +/- 48 hours, contact Winning TD via PM and see if he can help you out.

Yes.

Good luck!

Bitcoins, only down 27% this week so far.....fun.

I think I am going to just buy them when they get under 800 or so and trade them like stocks or commodities.

Just wanted to post I requested 5k, they cancelled request same day. I checked email they needed some ID etc to verify. 8 emailed it back and called and they instantly verified and said to re request my cash out.

Here is timeline

Monday - request / verify Id / re request cashout.
Tuesday - got called to confirm some questions, + they approved cashout request.
Wednesday money in my blockchain, I sent to Coinbase. Cashed out from Coinbase to bank looking like Coinbase says I'll have my money by 17th.


Very pleased with ACR and highly request calling them with any questions always helpful.
