How to buy Verge(XVG)

Verge Currency is a cryptocurrency designed for everyday use. It improves upon the original Bitcoin blockchain and aims to fulfill its initial purpose of providing individuals and businesses with a fast, efficient and decentralized way of making direct transactions while maintaining personal privacy.

1.First we’ll purchase the popular cryptocurrency Ethereum on coinbase, so that we can exchange it for Verge (if you already own Ethereum you can skip ahead).

2.Use this link to sign up to Coinbase we’ll both receive ten dollars of free coins when you spend over $100 (or the equivalent in your currency).

3.Press the ‘sign up’ button and fill out your name (make sure this is exactly how it’s written on your photo ID), email, password and location.

Just like a US bank, Coinbase is regulated by the US government, and has to follow strict financial rules. So they take verifying your identity very seriously. It’s a pain, but it does give Coinbase a reputation for being the most trusted way to convert fiat currency to cryptocurrency.

To verify your account you must supply a phone number, upload an image of your photo ID and verify a credit/debit card or bank account before you can buy.

4.Using a credit/debit card on Coinbase means higher fees but offers instant purchasing. Using a bank transfer is cheaper but slower (taking up to a week to get your coins).

Once your payment details are verified, click ‘buy/sell’ on the top menu.

Select ‘Ethereum’, and at the bottom of the page choose how much to spend in your local currency / how many coins you want to buy.

Once you’re happy with the amount, click the big ‘Buy’ button.

You’ll be asked to confirm your purchase.

Press the ‘Confirm Buy’ button.

Congratulations! You now own some Ethereum. But don’t close Coinbase yet, we’re going to need it again in a few minutes.

5.We’ll use the site Binance to exchange your Ethereum for Tron.

Click here to go to Binance, and click ‘Register’ on the top right menu.

Enter your email and a strong password (that you won’t forget!).

Click ‘Register’.

6.You will be sent an email to confirm your email address.

Click the link in the email.

You will be taken back to Binance as your email is confirmed.

Press ‘Login’.

On the login form, enter the email and password you just used to sign up, then press ‘Login’.

A pop-up will advise you to set up 2FA (two factor authentication) on your account.

We strongly advise you to do this- in the event a hacker manages to get hold of your password, this second level of security makes it very unlikely they will be able to get into your Binance account.

We recommend using the Authy app on your mobile phone or web browser.

7.Hover your mouse over ‘FUNDS’ on the top menu and click on ‘Deposits Withdrawals’.

This screen displays any coins you have stored on Binance- obviously none at the moment.

Type ‘Ethereum’ in the search box.

This will narrow the wallets displayed to just a few- in those, find Ethereum.

Press ‘Deposit’

You will be given a Ethereum deposit address (a long string of numbers and letters).

Copy this address and keep it somewhere safe as we’re going to need it soon.

Now we’ve got to wait a few minutes for the coins to move across the network.

Unless there’s an unusually large network backlog, the coins will take between 20 and 60 minutes to appear in your Binance wallet.

Binance will update automatically so there’s no need to refresh the page.

Once the Ethereum shows in your ‘available balance’ we’re ready to trade for Tron.

8.Click here to jump straight to the XVG/ETH exchange market on Binance.

The exchange page can look overwhelming at first, but don’t worry, we’re only going to use a small part of it.

There are two ways of buying coins:

A ‘Limit’ order, which lets you manually set the price at which you want to buy XVG.

A ‘Market’ buy, which fills your order automatically at the best price available.

As market buy is the simpler of the two options we’ll go with that.

Look for the big green ‘Buy XVG’ button.

Above it, click the ‘Market’ option.

In the input box marked ‘Amount’ you now need to fill in how many XVG you’d like to buy. It may be easier to use the percentage buttons below the input box- for example, press 50% if you’d like to exchange 50% of your Ethereum for XVG.

When you’re happy with the amount, press the buy button.

Your order will be filled immediately.

Press ‘Funds’ along the top menu, then ‘Deposits Withdrawals’.

In the search box, type XVG. You will now see your new XVG in your XVG wallet.

If you’re comfortable with it, you could just leave your coins on Binance and they would probably be safe.

How to buy Bitcoin

Bitcoin has several important features that set it apart from government-backed currencies.

1. It’s decentralized

The bitcoin network isn’t controlled by one central authority. Every machine that mines bitcoin and processes transactions makes up a part of the network, and the machines work together. That means that, in theory, one central authority can’t tinker with monetary policy and cause a meltdown – or simply decide to take people’s bitcoins away from them, as the Central European Bank decided to do in Cyprus in early 2013. And if some part of the network goes offline for some reason, the money keeps on flowing.

2. It’s easy to set up

Conventional banks make you jump through hoops simply to open a bank account. Setting up merchant accounts for payment is another Kafkaesque task, beset by bureaucracy. However, you can set up a bitcoin address in seconds, no questions asked, and with no fees payable.

3. It’s anonymous

Well, kind of. Users can hold multiple bitcoin addresses, and they aren’t linked to names, addresses, or other personally identifying information. However…

4. It’s completely transparent

…bitcoin stores details of every single transaction that ever happened in the network in a huge version of a general ledger, called the blockchain. The blockchain tells all.

If you have a publicly used bitcoin address, anyone can tell how many bitcoins are stored at that address. They just don’t know that it’s yours.

There are measures that people can take to make their activities more opaque on the bitcoin network, though, such as not using the same bitcoin addresses consistently, and not transferring lots of bitcoin to a single address.

5. Transaction fees are miniscule

Your bank may charge you a £10 fee for international transfers. Bitcoin doesn’t.

6. It’s fast

You can send money anywhere and it will arrive minutes later, as soon as the bitcoin network processes the payment.

7. It’s non-repudiable

When your bitcoins are sent, there’s no getting them back, unless the recipient returns them to you. They’re gone forever.

So, bitcoin has a lot going for it, in theory. But how does it work, in practice? Read more to find out how bitcoins are mined, what happens when a bitcoin transaction occurs, and how the network keeps track of everything.

How to buy Ethereum

 

 

Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third-party interference.

These apps run on a custom built blockchain, an enormously powerful shared global infrastructure that can move value around and represent the ownership of property.

This enables developers to create markets, store registries of debts or promises, move funds in accordance with instructions given long in the past (like a will or a futures contract) and many other things that have not been invented yet, all without a middleman or counterparty risk.

The project was bootstrapped via an ether presale in August 2014 by fans all around the world. It is developed by the Ethereum Foundation, a Swiss non-profit, with contributions from great minds across the globe.

How to buy EOS

Decentralised operating system: EOS is similar to a decentralised operating system, in practice this means that developers can build applications on EOS. Owning EOS coins is a claim on server resources. A developer needs to have EOS coins to use the EOS blockchain. Developers will not spend the coins to use the server resources, s/he just need to prove they hold them.

This operating system will be hosted on servers (data centres) which in return will also be block producers. Block rewards in EOS are the incentive for these servers to host EOS applications.

The applications running on this decentralised OS will be able to communicate with each other, there will also be measures to “firewall” applications.

Applciations use very common functions such as user/password, user interfaces, backend (database) management. This means that applications can share frameworks or libraries which make development faster, more secure and less technical. For example, applications will have their own secure database and file space on EOS.

EOS will allow developers to create blockchain applications with which end users will easily interact with. Probably most users would not even know that they will interact with one when using EOS as this will be completely transparent to the users.

How to buy Ripple

Ripple is the name of a payment network and the payment protocol which powers it. It was developed and released in 2012 by a company of the same name, in order to enable “secure, instant and nearly free global financial transactions”. It is built on principles similar to those of Bitcoin, so many people consider it a cryptocurrency. However, unlike Bitcoin, the source code of Ripple’s technology is owned privately by the company, which means that it cannot be verified by any outsider.
