Coinpayments is quite nice. They work very well for making smaller payments using a low fee & fast transaction coin such as DGB. It's what we use to pay for vps hosting each month.

Can someone who has paid BTC for NewEgg purchases help me out possibly?

I just tried to do this for the first time but got stuck at this point:

- I want to pay from either my Bittrex wallet as I sold off a few alts in order to pay this invoice (I assume this is possible).

- After choosing Bitcoin payment option on NewEgg, the bitpay window pops up wit hteh QR code (on the scan tab) for a phone scan.  Since I want to pay with exchange wallet, I click on the Copy tab and the exact amount of BTC appears, along with a URL that starts with bitcoin... https//bitpay.com.... followed by a string of numbers that doesnt look long enough to be a BTC address.

- The instruction say to copy that full URL into your wallet's send screen, but I don't think this will work in the BTC address field send screen on Bittrex, will it?  Doesnt that need to be a standard BTC address only?

Am i missing something or can you not send payment from an exchange wallet like this?

Does Newegg accept BTC payments? Newegg.ca didn't give me this option during my last purchase last month

Yeah, newegg.com absolutely does.  I did a bit more reading and it seems likely that you need to open a bitpay account/wallet in order to use that option but any advice from Phil or others who have used it would still be appreciated.

cant help here  I dont pay newegg with btc.

This happen to me just last week when I tried to pay my January hosting bill at GND.
After talking to GND.... the solution was to install Bitpay app on your mobile (I use a Samsung Note 8 ).
I never did have to do that - looks like Bitpay changed their internal process and forcing everyone to use their app.
Fund your Bitpay wallet (treat it like a mobile wallet) and use their builtin QR scanner to pay.
Good luck.

 Trying to pay Newegg from an exchange wallet has been VERY PROBLEMATICAL all along - the last couple months Bitpay has been having major issues even working with THEIR OWN SPECIFIED "works well" wallet options.

 2 of my last 3 Newegg purchases have been BORKED BY BITPAY, the last one is still "in process" of resolution.

 I'm about to change suppliers, if Bitpay RIPS ME OFF AGAIN ON REFUND of the current issue, as it was 100% CAUSED BY THEIR ISSUES I HAVE ALREADY NOTIFIED THEM OF AND THEY INSIST ON BLOWING OFF.

 At this point, I don't trust "Bitpay" as far as I can throw them.
 Newegg was a LOT better off before they switched to using this INCOMPETANT excuse for a payment processor.

 Does anyone know if "Bitpay" is owned by Paypal?
 It would explain a TON.



Damn Quint that sucks bro - Last night I was just about to try to use some BTC to purchase but they are out of stock of every single nvidia card, so glad I didn't with the new horror story .
its not worth it paying for parts with bitcoin anymore the network fees are rediculous
Time for someone to step up and put together a decent payment service. I know nothing about cryptomined.com, but they accept 25 different coins as payment, isn't that nice?

First extraction fan just went in - waiting on the roofer for 2 more of these bad boys to go in - 1100 CFM each - you want to talk about negative pressure producing - these are BEASTS.





The grey one is only 8" and 750 CFM, I'll probably use it to boost one of the passive intake vents

I should have known better and held onto my ETH, sold @ 1005 ... why why why do I ever sell needlessly lol

there is no such thing as a bad profit, anything more is greed ....


@Bankincoins --- we discuss many altcoins here and best strategies to mine them. Which coin are you referring too?

Is this thread actually about altcoin mining?

It's hard to filter through the hardware wallet and mining hardware talk to find people talking about mineable alts.  Am I in the wrong thread here? 

 Discussion of hardware options to mine altcoins certainly IS part of altcoin mining.

 It would apper you're looking for a more focused thread though, this series of threads does tend to be all-encompasing.

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?
January 07, 2018, 03:04:07 PM
I'm getting super jelly, to use an old South Park phrase, seeing all this Onda porn. As soon I as I get mine (and find some GPUs for it - looks like everyone is out of everything once again) I'll use my current clamp meter to determine which of the wires on the molex, sata, cpu, etc. connectors are actually in use; I seem to recall that being a question back in the 6th altcoin thread.

that would be cool.

thought i read someone had found the sata and molex connectors only used the 12v and ground lines (he disconnected the others) but i cant remember what board, and he didnt mention the cpu/atx lines. be useful info to know if i change to a server psu with pico adapter for my b250 d8p v1 board.

Thanks, I guess this topic is just too general for what I'm looking for.  I'll create a more specific thread.

This is mining section of alts   and wallets along with hardware are needed to mine alts.
If you are looking for picks of what coin to mine.  There are picks of coins to mine. There is a lot of info on alts in general and sometimes in specific.
If you are looking for something else  have some fun reading as  there are 7 threads in all with over 300 pages of info.

But anyway, enough about this. Here's my latest construction... 3x Scythe UltraKaze with Silverstone grilles in front to save my fingers from certain chopping:
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4641/24678239207_90ddebd9de_z.jpg

Very diy Grin but I guess it'll do the job. I'll fix the thing to the 6x Vega rig tomorrow.

looks pretty tidy actually. is that bracket on top one of those rails you slot shelf brackets into?

i just cant help but wonder if it would hover if you lay it on its side while plugged in..
Hehe looking at these Scythe fans, they probably would! Cheesy

It's indeed a rail for shelving I just got for a buck at the hardware store around the corner. I would have preferred an L-shaped bracket, but the ones they had were too thin and had too much flex.

this is cool

compared to mine, this looks better and tidy

how do you daisy chain the power on the 3 fans ?
Don't intend to... There's 3 fan connectors on the mobo, so I was thinking I'd just use those. If the wires are too short, the fans come with Molex adapters so I'd just plug'em straight to the PSU.
