Buy Crypto

How do I buy Crypto?

To buy Crypto from our website, you need to log into your verified account and visit the “Buy” section on the top of the website. Please choose the amount, enter your wallet details, check all the Terms and Conditions, and push the green button “Submit” on the bottom.

Crypto wallet

To buy Crypto, you need to have a crypto wallet - the digital equivalent of a physical wallet, that is used for transactions with cryptocurrency. In order to buy Crypto from us, you either need to use a wallet that you already have or create one (e.g. https://www.blockchain.com/).

Payment methods

You can use a bank card (credit/debit of Visa/Mastercard), or bank wire to buy cryptocurrency using your Novabitx account.

Can I cancel or reverse a crypto transfer?

No, there is no control over the crypto transfer. When you post a crypto transaction, it is a one-way trip that is impossible to reverse. Crypto transactions are irreversible, and you are unable to call them off. That’s why it's crucial to make sure your transaction details are accurate before you click Send.

Credit card was declined

Most likely, the bank that issued the card (your bank) has cancelled the payment automatically. In most cases, simply calling your bank and asking to allow the transaction to go through resolves the issue. If you are being told that everything is good from the bank's side and it still doesn’t work, please contact us for more information.

I bought crypto and never received it

A cryptocurrency transaction requires 6 confirmations before it can be considered complete. In extreme cases, the transaction can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours. The transaction amount will automatically be credited after the confirmation in the blockchain.

I bought Crypto and sent it to the wrong wallet

It should be noted that due to the nature of blockchain technology, transactions cannot be reversed, so it is very important to double-check whether you have chosen the correct wallet number while purchasing Crypto.

Security

How to protect your account from being hacked?

To protect your account on the exchange, please follow our recommendations:

  • It is important to use a separate email for registration on the exchange, which is not a publicly available address for your regular activities, registrations on other sites, etc;

  • When registering on the exchange, use a unique, complex password - at least 10 characters, containing letters in both cases, numbers;

  • In no case should you use the same password on different services! This significantly increases the likelihood that your account will be hacked, especially if your “standard” password comes with your “standard” email - hackers first of all check all financial services, including cryptocurrency exchanges for accounts with known emails and passwords leaked from other sources;

  • Be aware of phishing. Don't click on suspicious links in your email inbox. Hackers have learned to use them to gain access to your entire operating system. Always check the sender and take another look at the link;

  • Be careful what you share, don’t let anyone know any of your passwords and logins.

What is Two-Factor Authentication and how to enable it?

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is an additional layer of account security. In addition to entering a password, you also need to enter a one-time code that comes to your mail, phone or external app. By doing this, you confirm your identity. When you activate this option, in addition to the password, the hacker also needs to enter a code to log into your account, which significantly improves the security level of your account.

General

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is an innovative payment network that is different than the the traditional finance world is used to; Bitcoin is a currency born into the digital age.
It offers three essential values in which many currencies cannot attain: decentralization, open source and peer-to-peer networking.

Who invented Bitcoin?

The original Bitcoin code was designed by Satoshi Nakamoto under MIT open source license. Back in 2008, Nakamoto outlined the idea behind Bitcoin in his white paper, which scientifically described how the cryptocurrency would function. Satoshi left the Bitcoin code in the hands of developers and the community in 2010.

Bitcoin transactions

A transaction is a transfer of funds between bitcoin wallets, information about this action is included into the blockchain. Bitcoin wallets contain sensitive information called a secret key that is used to sign transactions, providing mathematical proof that the transaction is indeed approved by the wallet owner. This signature also prevents the transaction from being changed after it has been uploaded to the network. All transactions are broadcast between users and begin to be confirmed by the network, usually within 10 minutes, using a process called mining.

What is Bitcoin mining?

Bitcoin mining is equivalent to the mining of gold, but its digital form. The process is compromised in computers solving algorithmic equations along with hash functions. These difficulties aid miners to confirm blocks of transactions held within the network.

What is a mining Fee?

Miner fees are given to motivate bitcoin miners (and their operators). The fee is paid to the bitcoin miners to process transactions and secures the network. These fees confirm and secure crypto transactions by adding blocks to the blockchain. These funds are collected by the miners for their service and are not proceeded by any way to Novabitx.
The mining fee is determined by the amount of traffic on the network. The calculation is applied after the creation of an outgoing transaction. So, it can depend on the network’s volume and exchange rates. In other words, when transaction activity is relatively low, mining fees are low too. If the transaction activity increases, mining fee rates will also increase. More information on bitcoin transaction fees can be found on BitcoinWiki.

What is blockchain?

Originally devised for the digital currency, blockchain is a simple yet clever way of passing information from A to B in a fully automatic and harmless manner. In this context, when we say ‘block’ and ‘chain’ we talk about digital information (the ‘Block’) that is stored in a public database (the ‘Chain). One party to a transaction initiates the process by creating a block. This block is proved by thousands, perhaps millions of computers distributed around the net.

Is Bitcoin used for illegal activities?

Like all commodities, Bitcoin can be used in illegal activities. However, participants in Bitcoin communications are identified by public addresses – those are the long strings of around 30 characters you see in a person’s Bitcoin address, usually starting with the numerals ‘1’ or ‘3’. For every transaction, the sending and receiving addresses are publicly available.

Can Bitcoin be regulated in any way?

Cryptocurrency is not centrally regulated by any government and thus every government is taking different approaches to regulate Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
