But is it not possible, although rare these days, to receive and use a coin, after the transaction has no confirmations? It is insecure. But I remember some discussions where zero confirmation transactions were still possible.
There is some currency, such as nano, which is based on something similar to that. There is even some exchange that operates BCH like that. Leaving transactions virtually instantaneous. It is very unsafe and risky. Maybe stupid. But it's a possibility.
Yes. You can spend unconfirmed coins (i.e Electrum has this option). But the transaction will only get confirmed once the previous ones does aswell. |

Do you mean the fork that will happen next month[1]? I don't think you will need to do anything as the fork will be more of an "upgrade" than a chain split. Just hold your coins in your Electron Cash wallet and I'm sure the devs will update it to support the upgrade.

Most of the posts you made in the Bitcoin Discussion board are not merit worthy. And even if they are, the whole section is a spamfest. I took a look at a few of them and some of them were made after ~15 pages of spam and shitposts. It's not like a merit source or regular user will go through this amount of spam to try finding good posts to help.
Your post (being HQ or not) will also get buried pretty quick by the other shitposters. That's why I avoid posting at the Bitcoin Discussion board.
BTW, the amount of "bounty posts" you make aren't helping either.

I'm not sure if that's a good idea. I have seen multiple articles and people saying that Brain wallets are not safe and that you shouldn't use them. It's not to do with length, but entropy. Humans are terrible at creating randomness, even what you think is hard to guess could in all probability be guessed with enough iteration.
Family names for example are easy to guess, there's a finite number of them and a vast portion of names are from a set of only a few hundred.
What's the chance of you remembering what names are, the spelling, punctuation and ordering? Fairly low I suspect, humans are also terrible at remembering explicit data like that.
As soon as people start trying to be clever, the probably shifts from theft to irrecoverable loss. Just use the cryptographic keys the way they are supposed to be used, 256 bits of entropy created with a CSRNG https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/41619And: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Brainwallet#Low_Entropy_from_Human-Generated_Passphrases |

So, you basically just copied this whole article[1] and pasted it here without giving the proper credits? FYI this is against the rules, and will result in a permaban from the forum; ( archive) [1] https://authy.com/guides/binance/ |

Just wondering... Cobra turned into a Bitcoin Cash fan. Don't think I am trolling, but....  Wasn't the "Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin" tweet an April Fools prank? That's his last tweet (from today): Very strange, but it seems the @Bitcoin account was suspended, and then deleted by Twitter, and somebody registered it just now completely fresh. I hope the new owner supports the true Bitcoin, and recognises that Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin Cash, not Bitcoin! https://twitter.com/CobraBitcoin/status/982980460526690305 |

Usually I just google "Bitcoin", "cryptocurrency" or anything else I want to read about and go to the News tab. It's easier than having to go through multiple websites and keep reading repeated news.
The sad part is that it's pretty hard to find an article that is worth my time. Most of those websites tend to either shill shit-ICO's for money or FUD Bitcoin.

Considering their good reputation with hardware wallet which have good security and good community/customer service, i'm sure this wallet will be favorite among user who needs cryptocurrency wallet or/and don't want run full nodes.
Jaxx and Exodus popularity could be beaten by Ledger if the application at least as good as their hardware wallet.
The app still requires you to have a Ledger. You don't need to buy a hardware device to use Jaxx and Exodus, so you can't compare both of them with the new Ledger app. But there's no info whether the wallet give user full access to their cryptocurrency private key or seed.
It should be pretty obvious that you will have access to your seed, which you can use to import your wallet into a different wallet (like Electrum). |

Do merits regenerate through time?
Only if you are a merit source. Or only merit sources can make them?
Every merit source has a quote of free sMerits that are refilled every 30 days. The smerits we have at the beginning won't regenerate after it is over?
That's true. Only we will get 1/2 from merits we received right?
Yes. You get 0.5 sMerits for every merit you receive. That's the only way to get more sMerits if you are not a merit source. |

It takes some time to get your transaction confirmed in the blockchain. When it gets at least 1 confirmation, the user B will be able to spend the coins. If the transaction never gets confirmed, the transaction will be dropped from the mempool after a few days and the coins will "come back" to user's A wallet, where he will be able to spend them again.

Yeah, of course. I had accelerated my transaction to unban my "evil" IP.
I had set very low fee, but it(websites) done their job well.
No. You submited your transaction, the website did absolutely nothing and your transaction got included in the next block because there was space for it. Like Loyce said above, many blocks are barely half full You are too sure. Maybe it is not important now, when the BTC blockchain is unloaded with transactions. But in future, it is demanded very much. I did transaction to unban "evil" IP that was 2 satoshis per byte weight.
Nah... Again, I can say for 100% sure that from the links above, only ViaBTC's accelerator works. Either you paid because you are naive, or you are the scammer owner of the websites and want some users to scam (I hope it's the first option). P.S: I see that all those services are claiming to have some kind of agreement with many Bitcoin pools but none of them will show any evidence. I remember that the last time a "transaction accelerator" claimed that and got famous, bitkilo - who works for the Bitcoin.com mining pool - came to their post to explain they were lying. |

I’m curious why it is so expensive and difficult to change username. Is it for security reasons?
Back in the old days, you could donate 10 BTC to become a Donator or 50 BTC to become a VIP member. Bitcoin was worth way less than it is today, and this amount of BTC was only worth 1 month of hosting for the forum. The price is still the same because it would be unfair for the old Donators/VIP's that paid that amount of BTC back in those days. And... Theymos (the forum admin) has more things to do than change usernames. That's why he usually doesn't accept this requests, unless... a. You donate that big amount of money; b. Have a very good reason; c. He has time left and recognizes your name from somewhere else (i.e what he did with an old member that had talked to him to get verified in a subreddit);
NOW, TO EVERYONE ELSE READING THIS: PLEASE STOP SPAMMING THIS THREAD WITH THE SAME "YOU MUST DONATE 50 BTC" ANSWERS. CAN'T YOU SEE THAT THE POST HAS BEEN ANSWERED ALREADY? |

Have you tested these accelerators yourself as to their effectiveness?
I'm pretty sure he didn't. From all those websites in the list, only ViaBTC's accelerator works. The others are 100% a scam. And even if they did work, you don't actually need to use a transaction accelerator when you can get a 1 block confirmation with a 3 sat/byte fee. |

I believe that WageCan[1] has a working card that works worldwide. The only issue is that it costs $225 or $180 with a WageCan referral code. For more recent news I would check out this thread which is pretty active when there is any important news: 2017 Bitcoin Debit Card Reviews

Here is my situation: I created a Cold Storage Electrum-wallet in March 2017 and received 1 BTC. Today, I wanted to claim the BCH and BTG. But the offline machine crashed  and I don't have the private key of my wallet. I only have the password and seed (...and access to the watching-only version of my wallet). How do I get back my BTC and claim the BCH, BTG? Use your backup seed to restore the wallet and spend the coins. That's what I would do: 1. Restore your cold storage wallet with the seed [Standard Wallet -> I already have a seed -> Write the seed -> Next]; 2. For maximum security, create a new cold storage wallet and move all your Bitcoins there; Now you have your old wallet with BCH and BTG, and a new one with only BTC; 3. Download Electron Cash (Electrum fork for BCH), open your old cold storage wallet with it and spend your BCH; 4.a. Download ElectrumG (Electrum fork for BTG created by the BTG team - source), open your old cold storage wallet with it and spend your BTG; 4.b. Or if you have an Android phone, follow this guide to claim the BCH by using Coinomi's android wallet. |

This would result in a lot of spammers creating fake accounts to copy-paste and report them with their main accounts.
We would have a increase in the number of copy-pasted posts and reports. Mods wouldn't be able to ban everyone and we would have even more shitposts (and spammers would be rewarded with underserved merit points).

There is more stuff from the Polish government. And it looks bad. Ministry of Finances has just published an announcement, which can cause massive bankrupties or even suicides of people trading cryptos (especially those day-trading). From buying/selling capital of 15000 dollars worth of cryptocurrency, you can pay even 500,000 dollars tax or more. Sounds completely unrealistic ? Yet it is the state of reality in Poland now. Sources: 1, 2, 3Oh by the way for those that didn't know: in Poland the IRS has a time machine. For them, the law works even back in time. I am serious. They don't change the law, they just change the interpretation which can reverse their previous decisions even 10 years back in time. I know you guys cannot do anything about this, but maybe giving the topic some publicity abroad could help our case. Our government is usually only concerned when it is massively criticized from all sides. If we don't do anything soon, this will go into law and cryptocurrency trading (or even using it) could case to exist in our country.
