Having this idea is definitely something wrong. crypto-currencies aren't here for a long time and some of them are being developed as It takes time and If you think nothing can surpass bitcoin over the years then you should watch and wait for a disappointment because there are projects such as MaidSafe , ChronoBank and many others that have the ability to succeed.

Honestly , It looks more like a mafia work then a normal individual. I don't think paxful would do anything (If he withdrew the money then you lost every chance of getting your money back) , you still can try to proof that your local agent wasn't open at that time when the  money was picked up but I doubt that going to help.

If tomans660 was banned on Localbitcoins , how come his last seen was 32 minutes ago and I also don't think he is from Russia as his ads shows that he is doing transaction for Ruppes (India currency).

You won't find anything specific to gambling most likely but you can always modify and edit the scripts so It works with your website (all depends on the programming knowledge you have used) + have to link it with your users database. If you used NodeJS then I suggest taking a look at Socket.io : http://socket.io/get-started/chat/

I don't understand your current offer ? what we should pay for and what we are not going to pay for ? between the shipping costs , the card Itself and the activation fees ...
I'm clicking the "Order debit card" button and I get a white page with your blue logo in the middle , It turns a few times then It disappears and nothing happens (I stay in the same page)

I wouldn't use an exchange that asks for real info myself and you shouldn't too as some exchange may end up with the same case as coinbase with IRS , so I really recommend trading with individuals on the forums or using some Peer to peer platforms such as Bitsquare

If you have the backup file and the passphrase that was first giving to you when you made it then you should be able to recover the wallet even If you don't know the password otherwise , there isn't much you can do at this point.

Russia seem to have a lot of crazy stuff going on lately , this could be a normal accident but I doubt it. If the investigations shows that there is someone from the west or somewhere else involved then I guess we are closer then ever from the world war III.

I'm definitely planning to start selling at some point but I wouldn't call it an "exit point" as I won't be leaving bitcoin. I will be selling some and hodling some even for longer term. 2000$ per coin looks like a good price but hopefully I gather more bitcoins before that happens In the next few months/years.

While most mainstream outlets failed to note some of the specific factors that led to the price surge of Bitcoin, analysts at CNBC explicitly outlined three major factors which contributed to the increasing Bitcoin price. These three were:

• Increase in demand, decrease in supply
• Devaluation of yuan & rupee, and increasing capital controls
• Less than 5 mln Bitcoin left, spurring panic buyers

It's actually 12.5 BTC since the halving block reward happened last july and each 4 years It should continue to get halved. miners will get the fees instead of block rewards and that should make our bitcoins cost more since no more are being mined logically. If bitcoin doesn't get developed over the years then definitely a new altcoin could take its place. All bitcoins should be mined by 2140 and we would be all dead so you shouldn't care much anyway.

I'm with activating SegWit but I don't see it being activated honestly , at least not in the next few months. Looking at the charts[1][2] and how It's stable in 24-25% range for almost three weeks now make It very difficult to believe that It will get activated , I don't see what could change the miners mind to start supporting it at the moment.

I received an answer from KeepKey and I have added everything about except the number of units sold (they refused to provide them like Trezor did)

I'd really appreciate If someone used any of hardware wallet before and could give us his honest review here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1720884.new#new (I will be linking this thread here once we get enough hardware wallets and enough reviews/feedbacks).

I suggest making a third episode as the price is increasing right now and there is no better time to find bitcoin mentioned in the news then now. (Some famous YouTube channels are mentioning it these days too)

It's definitely not going to happen and I personally don't want it to . It's already unstable at the moment and we don't want pumping and pumping with no reason , the faster It goes up , the faster It goes down. If we could see a stability with a price increase overtime that would be great.

I guess I'm missing something then , isn't the blockchain size 60gb++ size at the moment ? how come I will be downloading a database of 20gb only ? what does the electrum database contains exactly

Google trends is probably the worst way to estimate that too. A search could have multiple users and a user could search for the same thing over and over and google gives numbers based on the numbers of search and has nothing to do with your IP and It doesn't check a unique search , without forgetting that people could search about bitcoin just because they are curious and not because they are using it too.

Weird , I can't find it and I tried both blockchain.info & blocktrail.com. What do you get If you click "View on block explorer" ?

In the history tab , click right -> Details , the transaction ID should be the first thing you will see at the top. You could also right click -> View on block explorer and post the link here.

Looks good but If using the known Electrum Server will make me use  8Gb RAM , 200GB SSD , 2 CPUs VPS as mentioned above by mocacinno then how much ElectrumX is supposed to take ?
