Great thanks!

Let me know how it goes man.

Ha, silly me! I did some thinking and hadn't looked at my Blockchain... I had actually used an old address to Blockchain. Got it. (problem is now it's been sitting in there and lost 15% because bitcoin has been crashing down. LOL) Thankfully not too much $.

Thanks again.

A review of BTC values just now shows it is really crashing in value. Its down ~14% since I was looking at it 2 days ago (on 01/09). It was @ ~$903.00 then and at this moment its at like ~$780.00.

Assuming I make the appropriate moves INSTANTLY, what amount of exposure (time frame) is there from the time Ign initiates the xfer to my wallet, I initiate a xfer to coinbase, then I initiate a sell to exchange to funds (with or w/o GDAX)?

Additionally, what is that exact same time frame if I go Ign-->Wallet-->Bitpay (again assuming that I am able to instantly xfer the BTC once received)?

Do you get email and/or push notifications (if there are appropriate apps) the moment BTC has hit your wallet or exchange?

BTC withdrawal, mid 4 figs

requested: 1/10, 4:30pm
received: 1/11, 2:30pm

love BTC

I see that you got it figured out... but just to warn again, this is another reason why you should not send directly between Ignition and your exchange.

In general it's not a good idea to send bitcoin from one 3rd party to another 3rd party. If something goes wrong and the transaction gets refunded you want it to go to an address you control.

That's why even if you want to go from one poker site to another you need to send it to your own wallet first in between.

Imagine how long you might have had to go back and forth with an Ignition support member that doesn't even understand bitcoin if Circle had refunded back to the address Ignition sent from.

And yes, you get an email the moment they send your withdrawal. If you have an app for your wallet and exchange you can do the whole process from your phone.

How long does it normally take a BTC wallet to send the test deposits to confirm your personal bank account?

Requested smidish 4 fig Bitcoin withdrawl
Req:5:09 pm 1-12-17
Rec: will update ?

Should be like 1 to 3 days, depending on your bank and how quickly they show you transactions that are still "pending".

Is blockchain down for anyone? It keeps saying 404 page not found

Working fine for me.

Just did another withdrawal via Bitcoin:

Req: 1/10
Processed: 1/13 at 12:30am
Rec'd: 1/13 at 12:35am

Didn't realize I could do only one every 3 days (hence the time for this withdrawal I'm sure). Was doing small amounts to try this method out. Fairly simple once you get the hang of it.

Received: 10am est 1-13-17

My sister got a BTC request within an hour today. Good for her.

I am sure you guys are getting tired of answering this question, but I am unsure what to do. I was going to open an account with coinbase and looked them up to check reviews which are horrible. I am curious who I should us for my bitcoin wallet. Also another question I have since I am a US player is from my understanding all I need to do is open a bitcoin wallet to request a withdrawl? Any tips you guys have at proceeding would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Yes, Coinbase is fine and will be the easiest to use.

Just to clarify... Coinbase would be your exchange - a place to buy and sell bitcoin.

You would still need a bitcoin wallet (like Blockchain.info). A wallet is what you use to send/receive/store bitcoin.

The process will be:

Ignition -> New Address In Your Wallet -> Your Exchange -> Your Bank

If you're planning on withdrawing a larger amount you can do a minimum withdrawal first as a practice run.

Thank you for the reply. My only uneasy feeling was coinbase asked for my bank login info. Normal?

Yeah it's normal, it just makes it easier so you don't have to verify your account via small deposits.

Right. If you don't want to verify with that method you can wait a couple days for their small deposits to show up.

Years ago when they were just a new company I was also unsure so I did the slower method.

Today I would trust that they aren't going to steal my info, they aren't some random shady site that just popped up. But I would still probably change my bank password afterwards just because.

Is coinbase is the only alternative to circle? What about bit pay?

Coinbase if you want the money ACH transferred to your bank account.

Bitpay card if you want money on a prepaid debit card or cash.

Ideally you'd have both set up if you plan on making more withdrawals in the future. That gives you an option of going with the best deal at the time and a ready to go backup if one goes down.

Alright I have setup both accounts. So the coins will hit the first one and from what i am gathering i then transfer the coins to coinbase and then to my bank account? Is there anything else I need to know? I appreciate the help guys.

Request withdrawal at 9pm AKT. If this works I will be stoked.

Sounds like you got it.

You'll get an email from Ignition when they send your withdrawal so that's your heads up to be ready to start the process when your BTC arrives.

Little update, Asked for withdrawal at 9pm AKT was approved and sent at 1130pm and transfered and now is awaiting arrival at coinbase. Will update when I actually get it. I am pretty stoked about this and have one last hurdle to jump to transfer to bank. Coinbase said it would take 30 mins before I can access.
