I do opposite of what you are doing to get money out. Though I convert to LTC due to lower transaction fees.

Yeah, I was gonna point you to Kraken as the best solution. You’re right, they aren’t very efficient and you have to be patient with them. Have you tried Bisq? It’s P2P and Reddit seems to think pretty highly of it. I just started looking at it today.
If only Coinbase would list ZEC…Hello, Zooko…this is something only ZCash can work to make happen.

I wonder if z vs. t addresses have anything to do with it. Coinbase pries pretty hard when it comes to big amounts, and we know ZCash is all about privacy. Maybe they’ve avoided it purposefully.

i wouldn’t doubt that… but they do have ETH listed, and ETH’s been pretty hot-n-heavy with SNARK talk… no doubt about it though… USD is basically sidelined because kraken is the only game in town. thinking “big money” will prolly invest in the ZEC investment trust.
…hard for me to hate kraken, tho …because without them we’d be up-schitts-creek… but they don’t even seem interested in attracting more traders to ZEC markets by offering margin trading, etc… the platform itself might not even be able to handle it.

I’ll take the ride up those charts… even if I hate that idea.
Yeah… there’s looking on the bright side… at least there’s a way.

Used Cex.io. You can buy using credit or debit card. Works great for me.
With the amounts of “timed out” attempts when trying to access Kraken, I’m sure they need to upgrade their infrastructure first before adding more features. I still like the site as well and use it.

This really would help out miners and potential investors alike. It’s been brought up enough times by members of the community to say that there’s great interest on our side; can anyone speak to whether or not this has been discussed at your level? If not, can it be looked into?
Many thanks.

At that point, I still have to shift the ETH or BTC to ZEC. Those mining fees are pretty ridiculous.
Should just have its own, cashbase-z (or a better name 
)
Zcash Price Prediction 2018: ZEC to Surge Past $2,000

“This is fortunate because cryptocurrencies have no fundamentals” <<< strongly disagree with this… other than that… i’m good with it

I think 2 things need to happen to further a price increase.
- ZCash needs to be on more exchanges. ( We’ve discussed this to great length.)
- More wallet options need to be available on phones. Apple doesn’t seem to like ZCash as there is limited options for wallets on the iOS platform. If they start allowing ZCash wallets the Apple fanboys will flock to ZCash.
agree/disagree
price increases once the market makers are done accumulating. ZEC can increase our value by doing things listed, but we’re entering a bullish cycle, and there’s not much that will stop it. good times!

He’s predicating his ZEC price prediction on a bubble in the crypto space:
_Analyst Take: _
I believe that we are reaching the apex of this cryptocurrency bull market/bubble, and this is where the greatest gains are achieved. I am watching a number of indications on the Zcash price chart that will indicate when this asset is set to make another move towards higher prices. I outlined two potential price targets but picked the one with the most outlandish Zcash value in $2,100 because if there is indeed a bubble in the cryptocurrency market, then such an outlandish target is a plausible for a Zcash price prediction for 2018
If cryptos are in a bubble, then you need to exit quickly or die quickly if you do not. Since most cryptos are finite in number, I’m not willing to agree with this bubble talk. If ZEC is at 2100 in 7 to 10 years, I’ll be happy…
Moreover, even in bubbles it is the best quality securities which generally survive. Assuming we go into a bubble and the space loses most of its value, ZCash has such a strong value proposition that it could likely survive for the long terms. It’s its benefit of shielded transactions which differentiate it among the other cows in the herd and may work for its long term survival or protection against a potential bubble scenario…(one hopes)

Agree. He sounds like a Keynesian economist in an Austrian experiment. The “bubbles” here are only those naturally created by the community’s rational/irrational behaviors and their corrections will be slight without inflation and artificial stimulation.
somebody on kraken is really loading-up in $271 area. been snatching them up for the last roughly hour +

I think that in general the investors in the crypto space are less sophisticated than those who are in traditional investments like stocks, bonds, etc. While there are indeed sophisticated players in crypto, there are lots who are not…and smart money takes less intelligent all the time. This may, in part, explain the wild swings we see in daily valuation.
ZEC is at 272 and has been holding these elevated numbers for the past so many days. It’s encouraging to see these incremental increases as we plug along to the end of the year. Could we hit 315 by December 1st? It might be a nice way to kick off the holiday shopping season
