Bitcoin Exchange Coinbase Strengthened by Circle's Exit

[rizespor]

Ok. Give me options besides coins base that have high limits to buy with a CC for a us player please.

Plenty of exchanges out there. Tried any of those? Localbitcoins if you want to be completely anonymous, though fees are pretty high. I only used them to sell.

Honestly, maybe I'm not the best person to give you an answer, I haven't actually bought any btc in over a year.

Though I have to ask what exactly you mean by high limits. IIRC, Circle limited you to something like $300 a week

[5918mike]

eventually no bitcoins for usa players as far as gambling

writing on the wall

Just another chapter in the gambling funding war. Our fukkin government wants to get involved and screw us all over again.

Actually I had my circle limits raised to 3k a week within a week of opening my account it was good

Ah yeah I do remember them saying you can increase limits... I bought from them a few times, requested an increase but never really needed them again. Think they even banned me at some point though I never went directly from them to offshore.

[jjgold]

What are new options now?

[Russian Rocket]

That's what happens when Uncle Sam steps on you jewels...with that said- there are plenty of other wallets out there that would gladly take your business.

Spark, New Markets, App Messaging, and Bitcoin Changes


By Sean Neville and Jeremy Allaire
Today we’re announcing the launch of full messaging features in Circle’s apps and higher deposit limits for customers, forthcoming support for sending and receiving money between Circle and The Philippines and Korea, and the introduction of Spark, a new blockchain-based protocol to facilitate trusted, compliant money transfers between participating individuals and institutions over the Bitcoin network. As part of this launch, we are also eliminating the ability for customers to buy and sell bitcoin directly on Circle, and introducing a new preferred bitcoin exchange partnership with Coinbase.
Circle Messaging Features
We’ve rolled out new messaging capabilities to all Circle customers across all of our apps on Web, iOS and Android. We’ve long argued that social payments are best experienced in the context of the conversations and interactions we have with friends, colleagues, family members and individual sellers. Messaging provides context for a payment, whether that be with a funny image, a photo of a meal shared, a moment from a night out, or a picture of the product someone is selling.

The Circle Pay apps are now organized around people instead of solely by transactions. All payments to and from an individual exist in an ongoing conversation with that person, similar to popular messaging apps such as WeChat, Messenger and WhatsApp. This mirrors our support for Circle social payments natively inside of Apple iMessage on iOS 10.
There are no limits on spending and receiving money through Circle, but to help keep Circle safe for everyone, there is a limit on how much new customers can deposit into their Circle accounts within a seven-day period. Responding to one of the requests we hear most frequently, we have raised that initial deposit limit across all our supported currencies as part of these latest app updates, and now offer the highest initial deposit limits of any social payments service. As before, that initial deposit limit can increase the more you use Circle, and there are still no limits on payments or withdrawals.
Give our money messaging experience a try; it’s a significant improvement in the p2p payment experience.
Spark
When we founded Circle, we had a vision and belief that it was finally becoming possible for money to work the way the internet works. A big part of that was a long-term bet on blockchain and digital currency technology, which we thought held the potential to provide the missing layer of protocols needed for open value exchange.
We have never been focused on convincing consumers to replace their familiar native currencies with bitcoin, but instead wanted to bring the benefits of public blockchains and digital assets to consumers without requiring them to know the technical details. We made progress on that over the past year as we launched our social payment app in the US, UK, and parts of Europe, enabling direct payments across currencies, and also allowing people to send local currency to other digital wallets over the Bitcoin blockchain. This ‘hybrid digital money’ model has been in our sights for a long time.
We’re taking another major step forward today with the introduction of Spark, a set of protocol additions that provides a way for digital wallets to exchange value using blockchains, including Bitcoin, as settlement layers. There are many use cases for the technology, but the initial focus is on connecting digital wallets around the world while ensuring that full KYC/AML and compliance requirements can be met, and presenting a seamless experience that reflects local currency exchange rates and conversion rule contracts.
We plan to release Spark as an open source project that anyone in the world can use and implement, and intend to work closely with similarly-minded ecosystem participants to advance the technology and integrate it with additional public and private blockchains.
New Markets and Currencies
The first implementation of Spark comes via two new markets and currencies: We’re excited to announce partnerships with Korea’s Korbit and the Philippines’ Coins.ph. These two early market leaders in digital currency technology will connect to Circle through partnership and implementation of the Spark APIs.

This will allow Circle customers in the US, UK and Europe to send and receive value with customers in Korea and The Philippines seamlessly, with the speed, security and cost efficiency of distributed ledgers, but with a pure fiat-to-fiat consumer experience, and one that is compliant with international standards for KYC & AML. For customers using Circle, Korbit, or Coins, this makes sending international payments as easy as sending a message to a phone number or email address.
Bitcoin Changes and Exchange Partnership
With the introduction of these new features, Circle is now more than ever not a consumer bitcoin exchange, and we will continue to focus resources on global social payments and future next-generation blockchain technology rather than devoting those resources to supporting the buying and selling of bitcoins directly.
Circle customers who currently hold bitcoin instead of US dollars, pound sterling, or euros may convert instantly to any of those currencies (depending upon availability in the customer’s area). Customers who previously bought and sold bitcoin in the Circle apps may still sell, if they choose, by converting their bitcoin to dollars, euros, or sterling and then withdrawing the balance to their linked card or bank account. Once converted, the account will remain in dollars, euros, or sterling.
Consumers who seek to buy and sell bitcoin in the future may now leverage our new preferred partnership with Coinbase. Customers may still send their bitcoin to any wallet or exchange of their choosing, but Coinbase is our recommended consumer bitcoin exchange.

Circle customers holding bitcoin balances may also simply continue to hold their bitcoin with Circle and receive Circle’s full bitcoin insurance. All Circle customers can leverage Spark-enabled markets and currencies without needing to buy or hold bitcoin directly.
Our continued use of bitcoin as a settlement token and network behind the scenes means that Circle will continue to be a leading participant in the digital currency markets and ecosystem, with our focus on getting more digital wallets to adopt public blockchains as open transaction settlement networks.
Over the past three years, Circle's treasury operation has evolved into a major liquidity provider and trading counterparty in both the exchange-traded and OTC digital currency markets. We will continue to promote the growth and maturation of such markets as we empower consumers to use digital assets and public blockchains seamlessly as payment rails and not merely as speculative trading instruments.
More info on Spark will be forthcoming. Meanwhile these new partnerships, additions and changes are effective immediately.

Jeremy and Sean, Circle Co-Founders

The don't call Angles Sharp for no reason!

Jeremy and Sean, Circle Co-Founders

They said you could move your money out to any bitcoin address in an email (also stated in your post above last image), but that is not true. They force you to cash out if you have holdings. Pretty shitty it terms of time for people to get out.

[Memento]

Add Glidera and localbitcoins.

snapcard.io also good choice for US bank customers.

[Memento]

So are you really willing to give your bank credentials to an unregulated foreign exchange? No fuking way would I take that chance.....you submit for $500 and they take $5000 and your kidney. Would you give your sportsbook your bank log in, password, routing #, account #, and name on account??

[raiders72001]

We should keep adding to the list and give feedback on methods used.

[raiders72001]

What are new options now?

Start at post #58

[The Giant]

Should there be a concern about Coinbase being next?

I haven't used Circle in about a year. Got the boot.

[UBNVS]

Circle told me you can still send Bitcoin to an address you have generated before and still cash out there. Just no longer can you buy Bitcoin from them.

[Plaza23]

Circle told me you can still send Bitcoin to an address you have generated before and still cash out there. Just no longer can you buy Bitcoin from them.

Nope you can't. I just tried. There is no longer a BTC drop down option button for sending money. Also, there's no way to generate a bitcoin address either to receive money. Circle is dead

Hopefully Coinbase ends up offering a better product.

If a U.S. Bank is involved at all you're doing it wrong. To be clear, IMO nobody should be depositing into or sharing info about a bank account with circle square triangle or whatever other exchange period.

[jjgold]

the good old fashion ways still the best and easiest way to fund books

[UBNVS]

I'm saying you can still receive money from airbitz to your circle account then can cash from there is what they told me. As long as you use a previous address.

[SharpAngles]

the good old fashion ways still the best and easiest way to fund books

Not everyone wants to work the gloryholes to fund their accounts gold

[jjgold]

Bitcoin getting lots of attention and too many people using it for illegal stuff, it is a matter of time gov't regulates it

NO LEGIT USA place wants anything to do with gambling transactions..it is a matter of time gov't will get involved and crush it meaning lots of regs it is the sign of the times. I stayed away from bitcoin too much trails and too many hoops to jump on a daily basis.

[Optional]

Circle told me you can still send Bitcoin to an address you have generated before and still cash out there. Just no longer can you buy Bitcoin from them.

This is correct.

Nope you can't. I just tried. There is no longer a BTC drop down option button for sending money. Also, there's no way to generate a bitcoin address either to receive money. Circle is dead

Hopefully Coinbase ends up offering a better product.

This is not correct. You just cant generate a new receive address. This was explained by Circle. You need to use an old address. Like UBNVS says.

I'm saying you can still receive money from airbitz to your circle account then can cash from there is what they told me. As long as you use a previous address.

This is correct.

[jjgold]

Men find an easy way and i will use

[Memento]

Yes, you can actually still send money to Circle using old addresses from your blockchain.info transaction list and then send money to bank account. You just can't buy or send money to BTC from Circle.

Any idea I how long you will be able to do this for? I am not sure how safe it is to use the same addresses over and over again though.

[triplecrown333]

does this mean i can still cash out with this method ?

[Memento]

does this mean i can still cash out with this method ?

It appears so....I am testing it now. Sent some money form blockchain to circle using an old circle address. It accepted it but still yet to confirm.
