I'm always concerned about security so my ideal dream of a killer app would be something like a wallet which is almost non hackable. When I say almost, that is close to virtually safe from any form of attack.

It's two different playing field. One a payment system and another a currency. So no matter what bitcoin will always have a certain level of advantage which apple pay will not be able to grab hold on.

I don't think it's entirely localbitcoin's fault that lead to the hack. But one thing good about them is their sense of responsibility as a company as they are even willing to refund those who had their coins lost.

No alternative thus far. The closest is probably doge. If you consider the up and down pattern, it is obviously a money making opportunity. Depends on how you look at it.

Approaching 40. Anybody in the same age bracket as me?

As I said, the company is Cloud Mining Website. Their website is www.cloudmining.website. They do not have a place to type the amount. Then I would not have been trapped like this. They have 2 drop down. One from 1-9 another from 10 Ghs to 10 Ths. As far as I can remember, I selected 2 correctly, but instead of 10 Ghs, I selected 10 Ths before clicking on order button. Hence the current problem. Ok. I think I understand your problem. You must have a credit card linked to your cloudmining account. As you tried to make payment, you accidentally selected another premium option which requires you to pay more. Hence the funds amount to 20btc which get sourced from your credit card. You have two way. Immediately call up the website and told them you want to cancel as it was not your intention to get the package. Or, get advice from your credit card company on how to proceed further with this. I'm sorry this happened to you. Lol. What? Since when you can use credit card to pay in bitcoins? Read the previous posts, OP posted blockchain tx id. He already contacted customer support and is waiting for decision. If i can buy bitcoin using credit card at cex.io, why can't some mining contract companies create the same facility for selling mining contracts? The information is just an assumption as i try to comprehend what actually went wrong

You need to wait for the signals. More than often you will see people posting about the same thing that the price is going up using different accounts. I would stay away from these at all cost. No point getting involved into that.

Invasion of privacy and it's indirectly linked to bitcoin. I wouldn't want that publicity

OP has clearly mentioned about quality traffic which in this case, they will serve only ads for selected countries where conversion will net highest amount of payout.

It's nice to see crowdfunding effort being launched. In fact I don't mind contributing if it benefit the community. More than often what I can see is that some nice projects getting a kickstart and after it has reached the intended amount, there were no further news beyond that. It would be great, if there's a follow-up with pictures showing on what the funds has been used towards, some accounting ledger showing how the fund is distributed and such.

It will need a very good reason to convince me to buy it. If it is just a fractional improvement compared to existing bitcoin, then my clear answer is no thanks. Unless it is super revolutionary that solves all the problem in the current system.

Wow... some unsuspecting person might fall into the trap. Heads up for that alert. Don't be surprised, there are still people who would get conned even though it is a clear phishing attempt.

The best option in terms of security and ease of recovery is still to memorize the seeds. Come on...12 words can't be that difficult. You also can encrypt the whole electrum folder which is password protected but you need to keep the folder in a storage device where it can get lost or ended up getting hacked.

The thing is that media will write anything as long as it attracts the most reader. When it's up, they were full of praises and creating the scenario that btc is finally the savior. When it's down, well, you know what to expect. Just follow and stick to your principle on what you think is right.

I think anybody who could accurately predict that with at least 70% accuracy would have been rich by now. With btc, you will get a result least expected

What does this mean? A little lost here
We have been tracking the progress. Hacker replaced the customer's withdrawal address with his own address. 796 will compensate the customer with shareholder's interest. With shareholder's interest eh. How many years would that take? Sure this "hack" wasn't an inside job? It has caused suspicious problems. In weibo (Chinese version of Twitter), some has argued it might be the user himself who did the job. That i would believe.

The more exposure, the better for BTC.
Exactly. It is disappointing though how many states that are not able to operate in yet. Still, this is good news for bitcoin. Any reason why only certain states allow that? Is it because of different regulations?

It was back at 250 become some guys decided to make a quick buck by doing a quick sell off and close their position after having hit the 300 sell target. At least for now, the price is already up slightly a bit at 264. Let's see where it goes from here.

400 billion is currently the value of market shares held by all the credit card companies and money transfer services combined and that is assuming that this share will go all to bitcoin. 400 billion will then divide with the max number of possible 21 million bitcoin to get each coin's worth.
