would it be possible for you to upgrade your API and release a version 2 or something, it needs some twerks in my opinion.
for example right now there is about half a dozen markets that are closed/disabled for various reasons but there is no way i can know that through the API unless i try to make an order and receive the error.
other places usually have a field in their JSON response (in your "Data") called IsActive which shows false if the market is disabled.

also this other one may not be as important but it makes things faster.
https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/api/GetMarketOrders/DOT_BTC has a lot of useless data, "TradePairId":100,"Label":"DOT/BTC" is being repeated for no reason. it can simply be a field which has an array in front of it. the "Total" field is also unnecessary.

also it is best if the https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/api/GetMarkets includes a little field called "LastUpdated" so it indicates when it was updated last time.

stop wanting to get rich with bitcoin and start buying it. bitcoin is not going to make you rich.
start educating yourself on what bitcoin is and how you can stop thinking about what its USD value is and start thinking how you can benefit from using bitcoin as a currency. and that is when bitcoin value will rise not by you just holding it in your wallet.

when people say profit they usually mean in fiat, lets say USD.
if you have invested $1000 for example and price has gone up from $2500 to $3000 that is a 20% rise ([x2-x1 / x1]*100) so you have made 20% profit on your investment which is $1000 and now have $200 profit ($1000* 20%).

you can also multiply the amount of bitcoin you have with the new price.
@$2500, investing $1000 gets you 0.4BTC ignoring the fees.
@$3000 the 0.4BTC is worth $1200 (aka $200 profit)

i would never say the same thing with the certainty you are saying it, but i kinda agree with it. it is still possible to see another dip before the big rise but it is also possible to see a big rise without any further dips. although it can all change with some news!

everything is correct apart from the amount of fee you paid.
either post the transaction id here so we can see and give a sure answer, or if you want to keep your privacy then use a block explorer like this:
blockchain.info/tx/{put your tx id here} and look at the field saying "Fee per byte" and if it is lower than 270-300 then that is your problem.

you can read this topic for things you can do: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1802212.0
and feel free to ask here any additional question you have.

in summary the only choice you have is to spend this transaction output (99ba62c5ea8e2f8a7ad8389d92455ad3c51f30fc674fd2f86fd6c76dde90d1f7) choose one of your own bitcoin addresses, and spend this by sending all of the funds 0.15316875BTC to that address and make sure to pay 360 satoshi per byte fee.
your transaction size will probably be 196 bytes which makes the fee about 70,000 satoshi.

you can also make a raw unsigned transaction and sign it with the wallet if it doesn't allow you to spend the funds.

polo is always like this!
for bitcoin exchanges at least we can say this is somewhat new since the 2K territory is new and has never occurred before so it is attracting a lot of users to these sites. but altcoins are unknown outside of bitcoin community, so the user base is also the same and it always increases the same. and polo always goes down at times like this every couple of months

it actually is indicator of NOTHING. at the very least it is the worst way to compare different cryptos because with altcoins you don't ever know what their circulating supply is. a random altcoin can easily report having billions of coins but in fact have 1 or 2 million coins in circulation and that billions of coin supply creates a fake big marketcap which indicates nothing about it

you will never be able to come up with a number while trading altcoins because to put simply the altcoins are extremely volatile. sometimes they drop 10-20% in a blinking of an eye and then get pumped back up. so if you are looking to place some stop loss you will see that there are a lot of problems with that. a pumping altcoin is not a real market that you can come up with logical scenarios!

for bitcoin however things are a lot better. it is not comparable with big markets like gold market but it i still is a lot better and easier to speculate and place stop losses than it is for altcoins. but i usually am a long term holder so i can't give you any real numbers here.

what do you mean by "hidden partitions"?
i am no linux expert but you can easily make 2 partitions on your USB inside linux,
partition 1: small one with a couple of MB size with FAT or NTFS or whatever that windows can recognize.
partition 2: bigger with the format that only linux recognized (ext4(?))

then you install linux on partition 2 or put it there as a live OS with persistence and then encrypt your home folder for extra security and tamper prevention. also after installing electrum you put a password on the wallet too.
then for transferring txt containing the transaction in case you don't own a camera you just put it in the other partition and transfer out.

if someone connects that USB to a windows computer they will ONLY see the partition 1 (needs to be first) not the other. if you connect it to linux computer it recognizes both but can not open it since it is encrypted and password protected.

in case you wanted to write down the seed, then this method won't work. for that you need a third party tool to encrypt the "string" with a password and then be able to decrypt it with that tool when you want to restore the wallet with seed.

electrum doesn't accept encrypted seed phase in its restore window, maybe a good feature to add(?)

it IS going down every day at least once or twice. and that is the correction, sometimes it is 50 bucks sometimes bigger, just to take a breath momentarily.
but since the demand is still there and very hungry for more bitcoin with a lot of money at hand, the price jumps back up and continues rising up again with a fresh breath.

if they want a better privacy that a decentralized cryptocurrency provides them, then yeah bitcoin is not restrictive on who uses it
but if you think as an investment then i don't think so. although bitcoin is profitable to us, there are still a lot of other things you can do with a lot of money to make a lot more profit and with a lot less risk.

your question is extremely weird

block height is the number you see as the last block mined for example the last block was 467849 by the time of writing this. you can't reduce this! it is representing the longest chain and number of blocks that have been mined so far.

i don't understand your main question either.
if you want to help others un-stuck their stuck transactions then lead them to this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1802212.0
and if you yourself know about the fees and how much is appropriate then teach them that too.

the receive tab is used for creating a request for payment.
imagine you want to ask your friend to send you 0.144BTC. for that you need to give him your bitcoin address and ask him to send you 0.1BTC.
bitcoin makes it easy with a special URI pattern scheme called bip21.
what you created is this URI, it is like a link eg. https://bitcointalk.org and when you click on it, instead of a browser your bitcoin wallet opens up.
if you scan the QR code it is like this:
bitcoin:1FYkXwCvqPZVFmyDjnEVSnvjCr6iaPTWSh?amount=0.144 (you can click on it and see what happens, it will open your electrum wallet and goes to send tab and fills in all the information for you).

this whole thing has nothing to do with "transaction being stuck".

i actually searched about this a while back but couldn't find anything that helped. but i still think technically it should work.
you have to find a way to give the signature for verifying. since this: https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x2BD5824B7F9470E6 can be saved as a file.
and you would need to change the
line to something else so that gpg takes the key from your file instead of the server.
i don't know how because it never was necessary to do so, i download on linux, verify, and transfer to offline storage and install there.

not all of us have the Zapp Brannigan's courage so we go in with smaller amounts.
i actually started my trading with a tiny amount of Dogecoins, it makes me laugh when i think about how small it was. it was about 100 Doge when price was ~70 satoshi back in 2014ish.
and i did the trading on Cex.io because back then they didn't have the silly 0.01BTC min volume for trading. they didn't have any limitations. i was trading 10 doge at a time, buying low selling high just to learn the tricks

how much i trade now is usually small too and i made it into a vote

this success you are putting your whole topic on has not yet happened! not even in bitcoin.
for bitcoin you shouldn't look at the high price and how it has gone up fast. the adoption, although is big, it is not yet that big to even be considered in the real world when compared with other things.

for altcoins it is practically non existent. >95% of the altcoins are in fact shitcoins without any usefulness and are full of problems. the 5% remaining are too small and lack the adoption and still have a lot of problems. and on top of all that the whole altcoin market is in a big bubble and everyone knows that.

i also disagree with the second part about government intervention! they may do some stuff as prevention or slow down the adoption but they will all give in. you can see this clearly in Japan and even more clearly because of their change of heart in Russia.

this is mostly FOMO, people finally realized they are missing out. as soon as the ATH was broken for the first time it was clear that bitcoin is headed for the moon.
before that price when you talked with random people you could have seen their targets are the same as the ATH, around $1000 to $1200. but ever since we started entering the uncharted waters the silly targets are no more. nobody can say i will sell at some price because that is IT. now people are seeing the higher prices such as $5000-$10,000

well the world outside of this community doesn't seem to be interested in all the silliness of the block size debate and as we can see they are paying premium fees to continue using bitcoin even though we keep seeing throwaway accounts keep saying bitcoin is dead because the fee is high
