Then you want to set up your own separate bitcoin wallet... I'd recommend Blockchain.info. They have a FAQ page that answers some basic bitcoin questions and explains how to use the wallet.

https://blockchain.info/wallet/bitcoin-faq

To deposit to WPN you will send bitcoin from your Coinbase/Circle account to a newly created address in your Blockchain.info wallet. Then send from there to your WPN deposit address.

To withdraw you just do the opposite... create a new address in your Blockchain.info wallet and give that to WPN. After they've processed the withdrawal you send it to your Coinbase/Circle account and sell the bitcoin.

Coinbase/Circle -> Blockchain.info wallet -> WPN

WPN -> Blockchain.info wallet -> Coinbase/Circle

The money should be in your bank account within 1-3 business days.

Coinbase charges a 1% fee, Circle has no fee.
Forgive me for bumping such an old post, but this part is confusing to me....as I have not ever had a "newly created" address that I send to from Circle to Blockchain. I haven't had trouble depositing, but I am just saying that each time, it has given me the same address each time on my blockchain account to paste into my Cirle account and receive money to deposit onto WPN.

I want to make a cashout tomorrow for the first time, and I don't want to miss out on some crucial process of getting blockchain or circle to generate a "newly created address" to transfer bitcoin from. Is that what you have to somehow do?

Hopefully someone can clarify this for me. I just bought bitcoin to deposit using coinbase.

It says my bitcoin wont be in the wallet until august 26! A week from today! I've made a couple sales to my bank account that took 1-2 days at most.

Is this normal for a bitcoin buy? Seems really sucky to me. Cant play poker till next week.

If i knew it took a week i would have deposited directly using my bankcard.

EDIT. Dont see any way to cancel this transaction... any help?

for blockchain: under receive money, click the new address button

for circle a new address is auto generated each time

Ok, I sent to my Blockchain from WPN to a newly created bitcoin address in my blockchain account.

I guess I'm just curious why it was necessary to create a new one instead of using the same one I used to deposit onto WPN as well as receive from Circle.

Withdrawal request sent 6pm Saturday hit blockchain 1pm Sunday. Now waiting on circle. So far so good.

Yeah thats a HUGE downside to coinbase, they hold your money for a week until they are 100% certain that it clears and then they give you BTC. I think you can overcome this by registering a credit card (an actual CC, not just a debit) with them.

As for the existing transaction, my understanding is that there is no way whatsoever to cancel that since they technically "buy" the BTC as soon as your order is in

anyone had experience with localbitcoins.com? I'm trying out a test trade for .5 btc to see how it goes, people are buying for more than market rates...

I've used it, just be careful who you deal with. Like the market place here, try to use reputable members.

Attempting 1st time cash out with bitcoin, just a small amount to test the process.
Yesterday cashed out to blockchain, a few minutes ago the money/bitcoin was in my blockchain account, minus a few cents.

I tried to sent to my coinbase account, put the address in and the exact bitcoin amount which brought up the exact amount of value also and hit send. It said something about not enough in account because of miner fee or something and I could cancel or adjust. I hit adjust and it immediately beeped and my account was 0.

The transaction showed it was sent but it still says unconfirmed transaction in my blockchain acct for the initial money coming in and the money sent.

I checked coinbase and it shows the money was sent there but its pending and also it is higher than the amount i sent and slightly even higher than the amount of original cash out.

So, is everything good at this point and in a few hours it will be confirmed or was there problems along the way?


Update:
It all went thru and now its on the way to my bank.

not sure about that site, but I had good experience with the "Liberty X" service www.libertyx.com although I haven't used it for several months now. very quick and easy.

because Coinbase/Circle have made it clear they are not fans of gray area/illicit related transactions things like internet gambling etc....basically its a precaution that everyone takes because they value their ability to use bitcoin as a cashout method. they don't want to take any unnecessary risks that could jeopardize their own funds, or even worse, WPN's ability to offer this method to us at all.

I will follow along with the protocol but it really is bs. Bitcoin was practically made for the dark web right? online poker isn't even near that realm and a company dealing in bitcoin is going to try to act high and mighty.
09-02-2015 , 09:34 PM
They aren't acting high and mighty. These companies are licensed money transmitters and attempting to comply with numerous state and federal laws.

Money hit my bank 1st thing this morning. So about 40 hours after I started the cash out process.

Coinbase doesn't have a listing for my state. Is that good or bad?
09-03-2015 , 01:13 PM
I don't know, mine isn't there either, but I use them all the time.

How long does it take to get the coins when buying from Cirlce?
09-06-2015 , 08:12 PM
Wow bitcoin is the nuts compared to trying to get my money off Merge.

Was able to create a blockchain and circle, then withdraw in the same day to my block chain hours after requesting the Withdraw.

overall the process from WPN--> wallet = hours
Wallet--->wallet = 30min~
Wallet---> bank 3~ business days I expect.

greetings
i have been completing bitcoin deposits and withdrawals as suggested (bcp,blockchain,wallet) and am very glad for this to be offered !!!
