The person sending the wire transfer to your TD Canada Trust account must provide the following information about you and your account to their financial institution: Your name (as account holder) and your full address Your Account number Your branch transit number and full branch address TD's Institution number: 004 TD's Swift Code (international): TDOMCATTTOR (applies to all accounts and branch locations) If the transfer is in U.S. dollars, you may need to provide the following information from our U.S Correspondent/Intermediary Bank: Bank of America, New York SWIFT: BOFAUS3NXXX Fedwire ABA# 026009593 If you hold a US dollar or other foreign currency account with TD, ensure you provide the correct account for the currency you wish to receive. If TD receives the wire payment in a currency that is different from the currency of your deposit account listed on the wire payment, the funds will be converted to the currency of your account. If the account, name or address listed on the wire payment does not match exactly to your TD Canada Trust profile, funds may be returned to the sending financial institution. Once a wire payment has been sent from another financial institution, it takes approximately 1-5 business days until TD receives the funds. Timing depends on the currency sent, where the sending financial institution is geographically located, and how many intermediary banks the sending financial institution needed to use for the transfer. There is a fee for receiving a wire payment. Please refer to the About our accounts and related services (PDF) document under "Wire payment by visiting a branch". Other fees may be applied by the issuing financial institution and intermediary banks. Information regarding your account can be found on your cheques. For more details see How do I find my transit number, institution number, and account number? Please note that TD Canada Trust does not have an IBAN (International Standard for Bank Account Numbers) as it's not used by financial institutions in North America. In Canada, Bank Identifier Code (BIC) can also refer to the SWIFT code. 08********08 #] 02Mar2021 Coinmama setup OKcan login, but still can't use my visas ZenGo wallet setup (multi-crypto) From within CoinMama - can only get the cellphone app In order to use ZenGo, you must have a phone with face recognition technology.

There are several ways to convert bitcoin to cash and ultimately move it to a bank account: Sell bitcoin on a cryptocurrency exchange, such as Coinbase or Kraken. This is the easiest method if you want to sell bitcoin and withdraw the resulting cash directly to a bank account. To make sure brokers do not break money laundering laws, you will need to withdraw to the same bank account that you deposited with. It’s simple, easy and secure, but it’s not the fastest method. For the U.S., the average time for money to reach your account is about 4-6 days but it varies by country. Any associated fees also depend on the country that your bank is located in. Coinbase is the most popular broker exchange for buying and selling bitcoin. They process more bitcoin transactions than any other broker and have a massive customer base of 13 million. The steps: Sign up and complete the verification process. Deposit (or buy) BTC into your account Cash out your BTC to fiat via bank transfer or PayPal (applicable to some services) Bitcoin ATMs: Unlike traditional ATMs where you can withdraw currency from a bank account, a bitcoin ATM is a physical center that allows you to buy or sell bitcoins with fiat money. As of writing, there are over 4990+ crypto ATMs across 76 countries and you can use the website Coin ATM Radar to find a bitcoin or other crypt currency ATM near you. Keep in mind that not all machines are the same, and this method is only suitable for small transactions because most ATM machines have deposit and withdrawal limits The biggest drawback of using a bitcoin ATM is its high transaction fee, which typically ranges between 7-12%. Bitcoin Debit Cards: Several websites allow you to sell bitcoin and receive a prepaid debit card in exchange, allowing you to use it like a regular debit card. Each card is powered by either VISA or Mastercard, which means that they work for both online and offline shopping at most businesses anywhere in the world. Aside from purchases, you can even use bitcoin debit cards to withdraw cash at ATMs where VISA or Mastercard are accepted. Peer-to-Peer Transactions: For a quicker, more anonymous method, you can use a peer-to-peer platform to sell bitcoin for cash. When selling bitcoins to other people, you can decide which payment method you want the buyers to use. These include: Cash deposit: You can ask the buyer to deposit cash into your bank account. Always ask for proof of ID and proof of payment before releasing your Bitcoins to them. Bank Transfer: You can ask the buyer to send you a bank transfer payment (you can even use PayPal). Always request proof of ID from the buyer before going ahead. Once you have received the money, you can release the bitcoins to them. https://www.bitdegree.org/crypto/binance-review One of the biggest disadvantages to Binance exchange is that customers can’t deposit funds using traditional payment methods. Other well-known exchanges such as Coinbase, Kraken, Livecoin, and HitBTC allow customers to use their debit or credit card. Some even accept a bank transfer and PayPal! What is Coinmama? Coinmama is a cryptocurrency broker/exchange that is located in Israel. Originally created in 2013, the website explains that they offer a fast, safe and fun way to buy a digital currency from anywhere in the world. In fact, it serves all countries apart from those sanctioned, such as North Korea. However, at present, only 43 US states can use their services, which can be found below: Note: There is a slight difference between an “exchange broker” like Coinmama and an “exchange marketplace” like Binance.

National Bank of Canada This is the sixth-largest commercial bank in Canada with its headquarters located in Montreal. There are over 2.4 million clients and multiple subsidiaries all around the country. Nowadays, it is the only bank in Canada which allows buying cryptocurrency using credit cards. Naturally, since the crypto market has no strict regulations, all the crypto transactions are regulated and monitored thoroughly. However, the latest information about the availability of cryptocurrency transactions was given in February and no other official announcements were made since that time. At the same time, despite the fact that there is no systematic blocking mechanism at the moment, the bank representative admits that such one can be implemented soon. 08********08 #] 20Feb2021 Go Ethereum - GETH commandline wallet https://blockgeeks.com/how-to-create-an-ethereum-account/ >> Great reference, led me to go language!!! https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/getting-started installation of go language via Linux Mint Software Manager : see "$d_webRawe""Go language/go notes.txt" 08********08 #] 20Feb2021 myCrypto run I ran this and the dir was created, now to mount : I forgot to set as executable "/media/bill/Midas/Investments/cryptos/linux-x86-64_1.7.13_MyCrypto.AppImage" did that then : $ bash "$d_bin""appimage [,un]mount.sh" "mount" "[electrum,myCrypto]" "$d_appimage" directory already exists (has been mounted) mounting "$p_AppRun" mount offset for "$p_App" = 100024 >> so it was mounted, but when I click on "/media/bill/appimage/AppRun" - nothing...? $ sudo "/media/bill/appimage/AppRun" Desktop file is missing.

In this case you have a (newer) type 2 AppImage format in front of you. (The 'path' part of the command may be relative or absolute.) Second, if the first command didn't work, you can use a helper tool. However, you need sudo/root privileges for this: download appimagetool (which off course is available as an AppImage). Make it executable and run: /path/to/appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage --list /path/to/your.AppImage This should give you a list of all files and their (relative) paths embedded in your.AppImage. To extract your.AppImage into a directory named and located at /path/to/somedir , run mkdir /path/to/somedir /path/to/appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage /path/to/your.AppImage /path/to/somedir Third, you can mount AppImages (type 1 as well as type 2) without the helper tool too: Type 1: mkdir mountpoint sudo mount -o loop my.AppImage mountpoint/ # You can now inspect the contents # You can now also copy the contents to a writable location of your hard disk sudo umount mountpoint/ # Do not forget the umount step! # If you do forget it, your system may exhibit unwanted behavior. Type 2: mkdir mountpoint my.AppImage --appimage-offset 123456 # This is just an example output sudo mount my.AppImage mountpoint/ -o offset=123456 # you can now inspect the contents sudo umount mountpoint/ # Do not forget the umount step! # If you do forget it, your system may exhibit unwanted behavior. Hint for the 'paranoid': If you do not want to trust the AppImage, the third method is preferable. Because running (for type 2 AppImages) the.AppImage --appimage-extract or the.AppImage --appimage-mount or the.AppImage --appimage-offset means you are actually executing an AppImage (though not its content). Update: To answer the question of @jayarjo in the comment below (how to re-package the AppImage after modifications?): You can use appimagetool not just to extract an existing AppImage into an AppDir. You can use it to also re-package the AppDir (possibly after some changes) back into a (modified) AppImage. Just run appimagetool -v /path/to/AppDir Watch output of command (made verbose by -v) for the location and name of the newly created AppImage. That's it. edited May 19 '19 at 11:14 answered Jan 1 '19 at 16:59 Kurt Pfeifle 08********08 #] 13Dec2020 How to buy BitCoin?

To trade in Bitcoins, a trader must establish a digital wallet. A Bitcoin wallet is analogous to a physical wallet. However, instead of storing physical currency, the wallet stores relevant information such as the secure private key used to access Bitcoin addresses and carry out transactions. Types of Bitcoin wallets are desktop, mobile, web, and hardware. Desktop Wallets Desktop wallets are installed on a desktop computer and provide the user with complete control over the wallet. Desktop wallets function as an address for the user to send and receive Bitcoins. They also allow the user to store a private key. A few known desktop wallets are Bitcoin Core, MultiBit, Armory, Hive OS X, and Electrum. Web Wallets Web wallets facilitate access to Bitcoins from anywhere, on any browser or mobile device. The selection of your web wallet must be done carefully since it stores your private keys online. Coinbase and Blockchain are popular web wallet providers. Hardware Wallets Hardware wallets are by far the most secure type of Bitcoin wallet as they store Bitcoins on a physical piece of equipment that is usually plugged into a computer via a USB port. They are practically immune to virus attacks, and few instances of Bitcoin theft have been reported. These devices are the only Bitcoin wallets that are not free, and they often cost between $100 to $200. # enddoc
