I seem to be missing a payment in March.. I see it marked as paid in the backend, but I never received it.. I assumed it was under the limit at around $300 something, but I see it said it was paid.. I did receive this months however..

When you say you are missing your Feb Payment, do you mean your Feb earnings and March payment, or your Jan Earnings and Feb Payment?

March payment. Find a solution with them to get paid by Bitcoin. Got the payment today. They are planing to add Bitcoin as payment method for affiliates.

My payment has been a but over the limit so the payment has been coming in slowly.... Extra slowly for BP but I can't complain they are a great program.

I also got confirmation that they are adding it, hopefully in time before the Eurocup

Well....apparently not to add but to replace. Just received a message that this will be the only payment method for affiliates.

Personally, don't like it too much, since never used it.

Setting up a BitCoin account confuses the f#ck out of me.
Bernie (WCD) explained it to me, in really simple terms and while I got what he said, I'm still like wtf. I'm totally clueless. It gives me a damn heachache every time I got to try and get it setup.

I don't think that is a good solution. So - they are basically saying they can only pay us with fake money? I can play Monopoly if I want that. No thanks.

and - yes, I know BitCoin is a little more than fake money. But not by a whole lot.

Phew - it's not only me then!

Pretty sure this is the BIG future for all gambling transactions - especially for the USA, so we'd better try to get our collective heads round the concept.

Did write some more - but decided this issue needs it's own thread: https://www.affiliateguarddog.com/community/threads/bitcoin-what-are-the-risks.9873/

Goto blockchain.info and setup a bitcoin wallet there. You should be able to generate a "receive" address, give this to bettingpartners. They will then send the money to your wallet.
I sure hope this means faster payouts. Bitcoin with delays is an oxymoron.

Similar to how Paypal is email address driven this appears to be a address string of up to 34 characters.
I suppose we could keep a spreadsheet of the addresses we give to each program to match it up after payment.

I've spent 3-4 days getting to grips with this.

1/ I'm not comfortable having an online wallet at blockchain.info and would rather have a desktop download that stores a wallet on my machine encrypted.
This gives me a better feeling of security ... if I turn off my computer (and have kept my passwords safe) then I am NOT getting hacked.
But blockchain does have two-step authentication using a mobile phone - so it's probably OK - but lose that phone ... and ???

2/ In order to track payments I suggest the best approach will be to set up a separate wallet for each program - and label the wallets as such.
Otherwise it WILL become confusing as to who sent what value of bitcoins and whether you are being paid correctly or underpaid.

3/ You can then send the bitcoins into an exchange account (at Kraken or other exchanges) convert into REAL currency - and then get that wired to your bank account.

This three step process SHOULD mean that there is no real trace of the bitcoins coming from a gambling environment.

I feel the same way on security. tbh, I haven't really looked in to it enough. Can you have unlimited wallets?
Do we know blockchain is going to be here tomorrow?

I so far have been using Electrum.. It gives you more control as it is installed directly onto your PC (or phone) and offers cold (offline) storage as well. You can create unlimited wallets with electrum its pretty simple to use. I have it installed on my PC, then on my phone as a 'Watching only wallet' meaning, I can use it to check my balances, generate new bitcoin addresses, but can not spend btc from my phone or access the private key (so no worry if my phone becomes stolen).

Not the prettiest, but basic and easy to use.. You can also label your bitcoin addresses so you know who you gave what address to (deckmedia).

From here if I wanted to convert to $$ I would then transfer my btc to an online exchange. But until then everything is stored on my PC (password protected, with my 'seed word' written down and placed in a safe, so if I should ever need to restore my wallet, pc becomes unusable or whatever, I can do that as well).

This is what I like some real world examples.

Here is an example of a blockchain.info failure in December 2014 ...
https://blog.blockchain.com/2014/12/08/blockchain-info-security-disclosure/

They made changes to software and people lost BTC despite having 2 factor security (phone) etc ...
Plenty to worry about ...

Is that standalone version or the windows version?
My anti-security complains about the certificate.

Have you actually joined an exchange?
