just a question regarding updating electrum and I'm still not entirely familiar with electrum. do I have to uninstall my electrum every time there is an update or there a way to update it without deleting electrum from my computer? I tried updating it using the link provided inside the wallet but while updating an error occurred and told me to either abort, retry or ignore. after clicking abort my electrum won't open so I decided to just uninstall it then installing the latest version. again, is there a better way of updating electrum other than uninstalling and stalling it again? TIA!
I would not recommend updating from the app itself as there was a malware version pushed (it is noted on electrum.org as well). Always download from electrum then verify signature and then update it from verified version. Warning: Electrum versions older than 3.3.4 are susceptible to phishing. Do not download Electrum from another source than electrum.org, and learn to verify GPG signatures.
Edit: Please make sure to Always backup wallet/keys.

Hi, when creating new wallet under Choose Seed type
Default option is Segwit but text suggests to pick Legacy.
Which one to pick? and any complications with picking one over the other?
You should always pick Segwit unless you have to receive bitcoins from somebody whose using an exchange that does not support sending to Segwit addresses. Sewgit addresses are the newer address type which have lower transaction fees and by using them, you help push their adoption more. Thank you will do

That is good to hear, and has anyone out there tried to use Semux smart contract in testnet before? Any progress or update with the wallet? because the last time I used it, it took more than 1 GB to complete the sync. It is a lot. I am seeing zero balance after restoring wallet. Anyway to scan all the addresses to restore balance?
https://semux.info/explorerhow about search all of your addresses on there? there is no other way to find out other than synching it or searching it on blockexplorer. I sync and then imported the wallet. I see balance on explorer but wanted to vote. Is there any way to get list of all private keys from that imported wallet with public keys? If I could scan all keys or get them exported then i should be able to restore balance.

The mainnet launched already or just testnet?
Yes, mainnet has been launched one year ago in January 2018. Currently we're testing new release with VM and dapps in test network. Hard fork was expected in q4 2018 and right now there is only 10 days left.
Q1 2019, we will have another testnet release with the bugfixes: https://github.com/semuxproject/semux-core/pull/112 After hard fork, we have to vote again for delegates? I guess the answer is yes.

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask but I wonder if Monero will get listed on any of US based exchanges?
kraken edit: is listed and has been for ages Also bittrex and poloniex. Bittrex has fiat but doesn't have a direct xmr fiat pair why are you interested in listing on us based exchanges? there are many other good exchanges. Maybe he is located in USA and is buying XMR for USD in USA located exchange most convenient? Everyone will chose exchanges that most fit their needs. There is no perfect exchange that is best for everyone. You nailed it sir. that is why. i guess you an buy USDC and move it to other exchanges that support it to buy XMR. This has open the way in so many ways but since funds can be frozen i am not sure if many exchanges will want to support USDC (coinbase dollar).

We badly need new exchanges if contracts get release soon. We will need exchanges for price discovery and stabilization.
Even if it gets listed on Binance today, it won't change the fact that we are in bear market. It is totally impossible for us to tank this trend, the price will recover as soon as the trend changes and peoples reclaim back what they had lost(their faith). Currently a lot of peoples are watching from the sidelines, waiting for an opportunity to get in. Be calm, everything will be alright as long as the team keeps delivering what they're promising for. It's all about time, no need to rush it Thanks for kind response. I don't expect us get listed on Binance. My concern was that being on small exchanges come with risk. Less exchanges = higher risk. more exchanges = less risk. I am patient and with semux from the beginning.

Does anyone know why there is no movement on the price of the XMR despite the Monero network upgrade (Cryptonight V8) ? ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) It's still good news for the miners and for Monero Yea i was thinking same thing with bullet proofs. May be market has become unresponsive or immune to this type of news for short term.

People felt same after 2013 crash. Things will move. BTC will reach new highs. You can check bitcoin halving and compare it with previous years to get an idea on trend.

something like this would be good. But how reliable is it? For example if Ether is slow due to transactions processed by ether then all projects running on ether would be slow too.
I will monitor this project only for now.
Edited to correct second statement

lol $50 seems like a joke right now and I don't think it will reach that price point.

Most of the time it is not required to collect personal information for ICO. If ICO is asking for too much personal information then don't take part in it. Especially if it is an airdrop. Your information may land in wrong hands and could be used for wrong purposes.

I like the rewards and reputation system. You get payout based on upon your ranking.
