If by "masterkey" you mean Master public key then no , that won't help you recover your password or your bitcoins. Unless you have the seed as mentioned above , your bitcoins are lost forever.
If you kept the password in a .txt file for example then you could always try to recover it using some recovery data tools.

From where they (governments) will gather the data ? logically from exchanges . Isn't Bitcoin meant to be decentralized ? the answer should be "yes" . Then , It's peoples fault If they are using centralized exchanges where they have to provide their real photos and ID scans while there is the ability to avoid all that and trade somewhere else without providing the least of your personal information's .
In other words , If they tax it (which they probably will and It's just a matter of time till they do) , It will be peoples fault only.

I'm using CoinsBank for sometime now , I'm not sure exactly of the time till the funds gets added as I have SMS notification activated but usually , It takes some minutes until I receive the notification so I'm assuming It should be either instant or until It gets a few confirmation in the blockchain. It shouldn't take more then one hour in worst cases unless you didn't pay enough fees.

Here is the escrow list for the next time : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0 I checked and they are all offline (or at least inactive) . Ranochigo is connected though : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1306343.0 and he is offering free escrow services.

I remember they launched the Beta in UK only and wanted to go to the whole Europe after. It's a good thing I suppose since there is a lot of people using Blockchain.info wallets , so It could target a larger audience with an easy way to buy . I want to know about the fees though ? how much do they charge compared to Virwox and other services

Micro earnings section ? Everyone have the assumption that the section is used for faucets only and I don't think It would be wise to use it for something else at this stage because people will probably continue to post in services as ME section is a mess with all the bumps and that would make the new threads (about tasks) pretty invisible.



There is definitely not enough signature or social media campaigns (even If there is , they come to an end after a small a few weeks/months , only a few lasts for a longer period of time) so making a new section is useless .

I guess you mean something like Fiverr and SEOClerks ? that could be a good idea If there is enough demand for it. I use from time to time the services section for this kind of tasks and making a dedicated section for this kind of tasks could really make things easier for both who wants to get hired and who wants to get a job done . (the name should be "Quick tasks" If I had to choose one)

Someone should clearly be able to spot a scam and make a different between a legit and non-legit ICO otherwise he is screwed. It's not that hard though , It's all about the marketing and how effort the developers and managers has put in the project , escrows is something else that everyone should look at.
As for Poloniex or other exchange , then those Altcoins logically came from ICOs so someone should once again use his brain (mostly If he is investing for long term) while buying and selling.

I don't think I understand this very well , is the application going to be for finding places where you spend the gift card balance or you simply deposit BTC and you get whatever Gift card you would like to use , or both ? If It's the second then this would be great If the rates are good , the first would be a good add as well.

I understand that Bitcoin isn't fully developed and there is more versions that will come out in the next years but saying that It has "too many bugs" make no sense. I mean the clients has but the Network Itself isn't really buggy , there might be some problems that need to be solved but those shouldn't be considered as a bug.

Or maybe we could wait and see how things with SegWit goes (even If it doesn't look so good so far) : https://blockchain.info/charts/bip-9-segwit and then decide whether he was right or wrong and I'm sure developers will come up with another plan If it fails.

A magnitude-6.5 earthquake struck northern California early Thursday morning local time, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The earthquake's epicenter was more than 100 miles west of the town of Ferndale, which is located in Humboldt County. The magnitude was quickly downgraded from an initial estimate of 6.8.

I tend to disagree on this one , digital goods section is more then enough to run any of your businesses. As long as they are legit , trusted and of course a good (or let's say a competitive) price , a lot of people will come to you whether you are a buyer or a seller . Just check the section and If you are buying then make a thread about it + search the selling threads out there.

He is clearly not as he didn't connect since July 2016 but there is quachphuc who is offering the exact same service with almost the same rates and he is active (daily) on the forums : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1365991.0

Since most of you here are that Bitcoin has not failed to deliver yet and BTC is still young and have the possibility to grow more , I want to ask you this ... while taking in consideration that SegWit signalling percentage seem to be very slow and there is a chance that It won't be activated , could we say that Bitcoin has failed to deliver then (after not being able to activate SegWit and LN with it) ?

I don't think you got my question right. I'm not looking for services that are able to call companies like Microsoft , Uber , Google and I'm not looking for anything to make calls (at least not normal ones).
I want a service to send both SMS and call automatically for 2 Factor authentication verification that those "big companies" use , In other words a reputable service just like Twilio but they should accept Bitcoin

Does anyone have an idea If there are any services that are as good as Twilio (that most of the big companies like Microsoft , Uber , Google etc... use) and In the same time , they accept Bitcoin as a payment method as I can't seem to find any ?
I've seen a blog post from them where they had a comment asking about when Bitcoin should be available and they said they have no plans for the moment.

I'm not experienced with this kind of stuff but from what I've searched , I found a couple of interesting results.
http://insidebitcoins.com/news/winklevoss-twins-to-launch-bitcoin-exchange-with-fdic-insured-deposits/29155 (FDIC insurance that the Winklevoss twins used in their exchange) and this company http://www.coindesk.com/great-american-insurance-bitcoin-coverage-businesses/ that Coinsbank spoke about in 2014.

1.Using anything else as a payment method (like PayPal or anything that is reversible) will make using an escrow totally useless as someone could simply wait till he receive the goods and chargeback.
2. I will assume that you will need to provide a proof for that and probably ship the item back to the seller.

I thought that It's worth mentioning that CoinsBank are giving free cards at the moment because of Christmas and new year. Offer is valid is valid for both No-name and Named cards , users won't pay anything until they activate the card (so the issuance of the card (14.95$) is free ).
