Your wallet doesn't have an address, transactions do and your wallet has many transaction addresses in it or at least the potential. So can you reuse a transaction address, yes it will still work but its like using the same check number over and over again.

You are thinking about the wallets incorrectly.   When you buy bitcoin they send a transaction to your address but your wallet is just a file with a number, this number is the key that can spend your bitcoin.   So don't bother worrying about which wallet software to use as it does not matter as long as you can put that number into the program.   Some wallets don't let you get this number out.

Now if you are saving the coin to spend later, just put it on a paper wallet.  When you decide to spend the coins then you can pick your wallet software at that time.  Who knows what future software versions will look like so why bother even deciding this now?

Also if you pick a wallet that isn't bitcoin core there is a chance that the developer makes it incompatible with the rest of the network.  For example, an old wallet that used to be around has had the development stop, so  it's not being updated anymore but this wallet had a hard coded fee set low from way back so any Transactions from this wallet will never confirm so the money can not be spent. You can't get the number out either so the only way to get the money out would be to update the software by coding it yourself.  This guy got screwed out of his bitcoin because he didn't want to use bitcoin core or a paper wallet.  Consider all alternative wallet software to be experimental in nature to test features that might one day make it into core and not something suitable for long-term storage.  If you decide what wallet software to use at the time you spend, it would be unlikely that you would choose obsolete incompatible software.

Great success,   after messing with it a bunch the autocorrect finally figured out what I was trying to do and let me do it without "fixing" it.    Can someone please look at my signature and make sure it's OK?

Hey friends, I just reached this membership level and I need to change my signature.  My problem is that I'm phone posting and my fingers are to fat to remove the XXXXX from the code and replace it with my user ID number.  Can someone sitting at a keyboard please make these edits  and post the code so I can copy and paste it?  Thanks I don't want to lose out on this weeks air drop.

You said you were overwhelmed with some of the financial language so I'm trying to explain this in simple terms, but this can have the unintented consequence of making me sound rude so please don't take it this way.

I'm an adult who invests in stocks and owns businesses.  I want bitcoin to succeed and exist for philosophical reasons and I'm more interested in the mining side rather than speculation in bitcoin because I like to build computers and fiddle with them as a hobby.  I do have a little bit of bitcoin I'm holding on to.   At best bitcoin is a risky volatile investment and no more than 1% of a person's net worth should be in volatile risky investments.  If bitcoin succeeds as a currency and stabilizes it will be more akin to cash and no more than 1% of a persons net worth should be held uninvested in cash. Bitcoin is a way to send money to people so I'd only buy bitcoin to send money to someone now or in the near future.   Speculators holding bitcoin are clogging up the network by holding bitcoin when they should be spending it and generating fees for miners.  People are always going to speculate in bitcoin because people speculate in everything.

Altcoins are worse to the point where I'd consider them more akin to gambling than an investment but that doesn't mean you can't have some fun playing around with them.  By my definition a real investment is buying something that some consumer is consuming time or energy somehow and paying for thus earning a return and just buying something and speculating that it will go up is just gambling.   But most of what goes on in the stock market is gambling too, although some stocks are legitimate and give you an actual return. Not that there is anything wrong with gambling, I just prefer to do it in Vegas where a cocktail waitress in a miniskirt can bring me a free drink while I'm doing it.

If you really want to get into bitcoin you might try mining and since you stated that you don't understand a lot of the technical stuff you could have someone else host the machine.  Hashnest is run by bitmain and you can buy as little as a single share of a machine if you want to make a small investment to try it out.  Reinvest the proceeds and one day the machine will be yours. But they only take bitcoin as payment so you have to buy some to transfer the money which is what bitcoin is supposed to be used for in the first place.

As for ether in my opinion it is either a scam or just the platform that a lot of scams operate on,  so I've always stayed away from it because of the drama in that community.

I dust off all my obsolete miners in the winter and run them for heat.  I'm in an average size house and I scatter them around the house but never in the rooms I'm in while I'm in there.   I keep them in the hallways or the next room over so the noise is background level only. I never have turned on my homes heating system and am unsure if it even works because I didn't bother to test it when I bought the place because I didn't think I'd ever have to use it.

If the exchange has issues with putting the account in the trusts name, there are exchanges that don't even ask who you are.

If the PayPal account is linked to a bank account,  you can drain and close it and just make a new bank account.  However, this seems like a hassle for only $100.   I personally wouldn't sell bitcoin through PayPal or any credit card, for that matter.  You'd have to charge a high rate to cover losses from chargebacks.

Hopefully they are not living off the airdrop but holding the coins, but I guess that's why the rules around the airdrop seem so strict.

I sincerely hope so.  That way all the people who missed out on the DeepOnion signature campaign will have something to sign up for so they can start shilling and quit spreading FUD.

You still are confused on how CPFP works.  You would have to send a transaction FROM the stuck coins with a fee that would pay for both.  You have to spend the unconfirmed transaction to another Bitcoin address.  It doesn't matter what other transactions come and go from this wallet address.

I'm not sure which pools actually implemented CPFP besides eligius and they have a tiny hashrate.

Child pays for parent works the opposite of that.   The parent transaction is the stuck one, the child would be a new transaction sent from this address, not to it.

It sure is.  I picked up one of those off ebay awhile back and have been pointing it here ever since the block reward halved.  It probably won't hit a block but it's still cheaper than playing the lotto. 

Do you have a backup of the wallet before you did this transaction?    If so, wait about 4 days and the transaction should clear from the mempool if it does not confirm.   Then restore your wallet from the backup before you did this transaction.  You can then resend the transaction with the proper fee.  I use https://bitcoinfees.21.co/#fees to decide which fee to send.

Also, it may eventually confirm, depending on if there is empty space in blocks.  I have sent transactions with fees this low per kb, to myself to consolidate, and they always have eventually confirmed.  I usually send it on the weekend when there seems to be less transactions.

If you watch the chart, bitcoin tends to dip a little and then rise a lot.  The long term trend line is upward, so buy on the dip.  You are thinking in terms of drops when you should be thinking in terms of dips.

As for the hypothetical coffee merchant, I would say that most people in this situation use coinbase or other service where the funds are instantly converted to dollars.

I personally would have opened several sock puppet accounts.   This actually could be a new coin concept, proof-of-sock.    Instead of whining in this thread, all these sock puppet accounts should start working on their own fork with the proof-of-sock distribution method they seem to want.

Well, since I signed up for the signature campaign, I decided to also purchase some deeponion, so I had some skin in the game so to speak.  Why shill a coin if you never even bought in?

Also, my purchase has risen quite a bit already.  So I don't feel damaged at all.

This has never worked for me, even when the stats page was up.   I wouldn't rely on it.

It would depend on the net worth of the child.  I wouldn't recommend investing more than 1% of your net worth in something so volatile.  Since few children have net worth sufficient to invest in anything, much less risky investments, I would think the answer would be no to all but the most high net worth children.
