In new crypto news. if anyone wants I’ll give you a discount on the domain name [www.americancryptoexchange.com](http://www.americancryptoexchange.com) I see lots of crypto sites going for 50K plus. I’d honestly be happy with 5, and I can’t believe no one took this name. Also @**[LZ](http://www.nyspeed.com/member.php?u=95)** This cost me 8$ and has some sort of protection to keep spammers and people from seeing my info, but it did not come with an SSL certificate, i did some basic reading and it looks like theyre used for shoppers. Any need for me?? I don’t know shit about this stuff. ---

You definitely don’t need an SSL cert to domain squat. You’d need that if you actually wanted to put a site up on that domain and collect sensitive data you wanted to encrypt. ---

Lol I’m having one of those “stupid stupid me” moments. Back in 2009 I lived online and took part in the first wave of miners. Back then a nothing special Pentium 4 build could get a couple hundred btc in several days. Then got into trading them with certain people playing Everquest, Meridian 59 and FFXI for weapons and armor. It seemed neat to hoard those things. Potentially there were millions worth at todays $7k price. I am pretty sure the wallets were on the PC I took with me and sold in Belarus when I got married. Silly me! 😃 ---

@**[bing](http://www.nyspeed.com/member.php?u=174)** and @**[ubengineering](http://www.nyspeed.com/member.php?u=3665)** and @boxxa I downloaded coinbase, will be getting BC’s very shortly before it hits 10k…BUT i found out (im new to this) that there is a limit how much you can purchase. Then read about another app that allows you to buy more but theres a larger fee. App is called “mycelium”. Ever hear of it? ---
