I don't have a fixed amount of my net worth separated for investing in bitcoin. I just invest with the leftover money which i get after deducting all my expenses and putting some amount in savings and others, so let's say I have 100$ for this month and the price of bitcoin is really high, so i just wait for it to drop or invest in an other ICO, of course after doing all the necessary research. And hopd it until I don't find any other ICO for like 1-2 months. And currently I have 6% of my net worth as bitcoin by following this particular method for about two years.

There is only one bitcointalk and that ends with the domain<.org>, any other site with any other domain is just a scam trying to steal the data like username and password from the owners of bitcointalk.org So without any confirmation or announcement from the moderators of this forum avoid launching any other domain that states to be bitcointalk.

When bitcoin will be recognized worldwide and everyone the people and the government help to make it better. As for now, Russia is one country that has great plans for cryptocurrencies which not might be the biggest impact on bitcoin but it surely will have a great impact on bitcoin. And when everyone will have access to bitcoin maybe that will be the time when there will be no poverty. Everyone will have enough to feed themselves and their families. And not sure if everyone will be equal but the condition of everyone might be better from the present.

Bitcoin is not BANNED in India nor is any other cryptocurrency. It is just that these cryptocurrencies and legal tender are not considered as a legal tender here in India. And that doesn't really matter as they are not stopping us from participating in it. And gold as well is not a legal tender but it is considered to invest, same is with bitcoin.

What the CEO of Nvidia says is because of the concern that his products were meant primarily for gaming but instead are being used for mining and from that many of the GAMERS, whom the Nvidia company might prefer over the miner are unhappy. I'd just like to suggest that the company should start making graphics cards which are solely for the purpose of mining and are more powerful than a normal gaming graphics card. By this, they would not disappoint their regular customers and in fact expand and make new miners their customers.

I just saw that the transaction fee for bitcoin is really dropped when compared with the earlier few months. I just wanted to know what affects the bitcoin transaction fee, what makes the fee high or low? Does the demand increase the fee too or when bitcoins price is volatile and keeps increasing or decreasing real fast, does that affect the transaction fee? Does the amount being sent decide the fee? If not then please state the factors affecting transaction fee!

I already have a solution for that as i had this topic in my head earlier. The way i found was that all of my passwords, private keys, bitcoin addreses that i ever used, in short everything i ever used in this crypto world, I've printed information of every damn thing in a diary. The way is, whenever i create a new exchange account or a new wallet address, i store all the information from my username to master seed separately in my pendrive and when there is enough information to fill a complete page, i print it out and stick it in my diary. And I keep the diary in my safe and no one knows about it and they'll eventually get to know when they go through my things after I'm gone forever!

Russia officially has not legalized bitcoin as for now. But it plans to regulate cryptocurrency market of Russia and there was an announcement by the government officials about the cryptocurrency bill being introduced which might be adapted by March this year. If bitcoin is legalized in Russia then by means of its vast resources and cheap electricity (As Russia is the 4th largest electricity producer after USA, China and Japan), which will lead to surge in volume, demand, and interest which might allow specifically the Russians to compete with other countries as a major cryptocurrency market.

Firstly, if you want complete protection over your bitcoins then purchase a hard wallet like Trezor or Ledger. They are like small pendrives which allow you to store your bitcoins and many other cryptocurrencies in them. Refrain from using online wallets or exchange wallets. If you want to use app based wallets then only download the best reviewed and top downloaded ones. As there's a high chance of a wallet being a scam and would try to steal your information. Never share your private keys with anyone (not even your wife) and not even with any admin or developers, as they don't require it under any circumstances, unless they're trying to steal from you.

As most of you might know that here, in India bitcoin is not considered as a legal tender. As the Union Budget 2018 in India was announced on February 1 this month. The finance minister of India, Arun Jaitley's statement in that about cryptocurrencies in general was- “The government does not recognise cryptocurrency as legal tender or coin and will take all measures to eliminate the use of these cryptoassets in financing illegitimate activities or as part of the payments system."
Here I just need to know why does the government not support cryptocurrencies. Gold is also not a legal tender and that too can be used in financing illegal activities but still it has a lot more advantages than this. Same as bitcoin has tons and tons of advantages for all! What do you think about it? Is the government right for not recognising cryptocurrency as a legal tender! Or they should reconsider it?

As last year at this time bitcoin was about 1k and it had a magnificent rise to nearly 19k in the last month of last year that's around 1000% increase within a year. It was a breathtaking year for bitcoin and the investors too. It was doing just fine in the few starting days of this years first month but went back to around 10k. Would bitcoin repeat its last years pathway and show a significant increase in its price or take the opposite direction! What do you think and why so?

Coin is not a necessary condition for a proof of stake blockchain. Not all coins are dependent on blockchain, just the standards might get changed. And the real problem will be the loss of postions such as miners will be eradicated.

No collateral!? Firstly you have negative trust and on top of that NO FREAKIN collateral! And you expect someone to lend you 1 eth without any guarantee that you'll return te loan back in time, or ever return it. This could result in a ban of your bitcointalk account. So better you comeback with a collateral.

You want some fast cash in trading then you might consider investing in ICO, but most of them these days turn out to be a scam. And it's not advisable to donso. But invest little in alts like 50% and consider investing rest in top coins. As keeping the eggs in different baskets reduces the risk of majority breaking. So consider investing in both.

Question A)
When a node receives a block, what does it check for to verify the validity of transactions within it? What are these checked against?
When a node receives a block, it checks all the previous transactions that tally with the wallet that the sender or the transaction request creator used to send bitcon by means of the reference that each one has as inputs. The network node has a special record of unspent transactions to speed up the process of checking.
