It has something to do with people panic selling with one way or another. If only people could for a longer time and stop thinking about making small and fast profits, we could've reached 300$ easy. Whoever is looking to bitcoin more as an investment than a currency, should understand that It's meant to be for the long term.

It is accurate, the activity system didn't see any modifications during the last years as far as I know. If they did change it at some point, they would've edit the post or make a new one instead.

You are pretty much correct in almost everything you said. An online wallet however doesn't necessarily store your private keys, an exchange does though. If we take Blockchain.info wallet for example, the wallet.dat is indeed on their physical servers however the password that encrypts these wallets is not stored in their database which means you are the only one who can decrypt it, Its still unsafe to use them though, as online wallets are usually a target for hacking and anyone with access to the wallet file could try and brute force it.

Desktop wallets doesn't necessarily download the blockchain file. We have SPV wallets today like Electrum that doesn't need to download anything in order to work. Having a backup of wallet.dat is necessary in some wallets and not in others, some wallets use BIP39 or BIP44. In that case, you will need to take the backup of the passphrase given to you by the wallet (12 words in electrum's case -- taking the wallet.dat backup + password that encrypts it works too)

We also have some wallets that support multiple currencies such as Exodus.io, Jaxx.io and a few others, downloading the blockchain is not necessary in these cases.

Have you tried to contact them from their email or calling the customer hotline? you will get a faster answer that way. I doubt everyone is facing your issue though, otherwise they would've announced something on the news section on their site or twitter account.

The monthly report says that everyone got beta access (about 700 users) while they I'm pretty sure I've seen statements on the past that the final release will be made only when everyone get beta access and that's about 6000 users, which is the number of the investors, what I'm missing here?

As none of the user above responded, I'm still looking for someone who could do this, changing between different Linux distribution is not going to be an issue as Vultr allow doing so without paying any extra money. I prefer an expert who actually know how to setup the counter strike server.

Now, I'm a bit lost. I understand that ICO price should logically be the cheaper price but that still doesn't explain why the price will increase overtime, why would someone buy it? I mean paying for verifying your identity and getting paid for it won't make much sense in that case, people would prefer use KYC instead.

NDA is still active as far as I know so we should expect to see ICONOMI in more exchanges, more precisely, when the platform is launched. Cofound.it ICO will be soon, anyone knows when It's going to open for the investors of ICONOMI? I heard I's going to be before the real opening to give us advantage.

OB1, the startup behind the bitcoin-powered decentralized marketplace OpenBazaar, has raised $200,000 in new funding from investment firm Digital Currency Group. Additional details can be found on CoinDesk's article.
OpenBazaar Chief executive also said that the decentralized marketplace knew a steady growth since the last year, I find this hard to believe because I know no one who use the platform. Ironically, the bitcoin community seem to have something against the decentralized projects.

You didn't tell us the exchange that you are using but in general, I believe It's very normal. Bitcoin transactions are currently expensive with all the unconfirmed transaction we currently have, add to that, the fees that the exchanges take for their services.

Using a VPN in most cases is useless as Its pretty known that the bitcoin community cares about It privacy so checking If a user is eligible for using a service based on the IP only doesn't make sense. The services that accepts credit or debit cards asks for ID verification so unless you are a citizen on that country, you can't do much.

Logically, you can't I believe because most of the time, as soon as the team start distributing the tokens after the ICO, they get listed on exchanges. If they don't get listed, It only means that the project is not that good and you shouldn't really consider investing.

After trying for the last time to send from Zebpay to your YoBit.net account and you failed, have you tried to do the same thing and send to Blockchain.info as well? A transaction can't simply fail, what is the error message they gave you? Note that Zepbay is not a wallet, but an exchange (just like YoBit) so they control your private keys, If they don't want to allow you to withdraw your funds, you can't withdraw them.

I was just reading on your Reddit that you are finalizing the full whitepaper right now, any estimated date for that? because I'm really curious to know more about the CIVIC Token and from where It value comes from? In other words, why would someone buy the token and how the investors will benefit from it beside funding the project.

The way I see it is that anyone who judge an ICO/Project from the country of the staff is stupid. You should first read the whitepaper, the team behind the project and their background without giving a damn about the country, how much money they did put on the marketing is also important because scammers are never willing to put money but take it.

Bitcoin can literally be used for pretty much anything while you are online, hosting, gaming, VPNs, anything. Using it on local shops for example is another story, waiting for confirmation's could definitely be a problem but the Lightning Network should fix that on the future. We currently have bitcoin ATMs in 57 countries, we have a long way to go.

Its more then normal. Its pretty much up to the people running the ATM and not the company that created it. CoinATMRadar is a very good service I advice you to use, you can check all ATMs in the world, with the fees, limits and everything else.

The UASF could make the price decrease but Its too soon to say, we need first to see what the services think about it and If they are going to support or not as not everyone made his mind yet. The way I see it is that the value of cryptocurrencies are not set by the marketcap but by the number of merchants, localshop, ATMs etc. It's also just a matter of supply, just like Ripple pumped their supply to gain a few billions in marketcap, It means nothing.

Well, the Beta.bitcointalk.org is currently functional for sometime now, If I had to guess, I will say It should be released before the end of the year, we didn't see any official announcements from the staff though.

I can confirm that I have received an invitation for the early access and I didn't invest that much honestly unless the algorithm calculates the number of ICNs I hold then I did participate in their different bounty campaigns. I suggest for everyone to check their emails maybe you have received them as well. We are not that far from the final release.
