Okay so here is the thing, I like it when some people post news here and there and read opinions from other people. I guess guys from news websites like the idea of gaining attention from BT users + the ability to build back links etc. Was thinking if it is possible, of course it is but if it will be approved to have the section on this forum dedicated to news and articles.

I do really think that many of users here can benefit from this as now news articles are spread across multiple sections and they are even mixed with other topics around. So by having section dedicated to news, users can go there and read the news when they want to and give their opinion about it and thus it might be easier simply to have relevant news in one place.

I understand that forum is not some kind of news aggregator or something and that it is simply the forum but I think that we can all have the benefit of this. But since articles are allowed, why not have the place just for that.

What do you guys think of this idea? Is it good/bad and is it something you would like to see on the forum as well?

Hello all!

I have a problem I have noticed that there are some campaigns that has gifs on their's image and they tend to tell their users to put those gifs image as an profile pictures. I get it if you have something flashy it will get attention of people but it is irritating. I wanted to ask if there's an option to disable gifs as profile pictures?

Here is one example in this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2680603.msg27441637#msg27441637 , have seen more on some other threads.

Was looking at some forum options and the only thing that I could find was in Look and Layout Preferences and seems I am able to disable signatures as well as avatars from people. But the point is that I'd like to see some avatars personally sigs are not the big problem since they can't be flashy images anyway. Or I will have to end up by disabling all avatars of people at end?

Thanks in advance,

forum user,

Hope somebody have good knowledge how can I solve my problem!

PayPal's TIO data breach: 1.6 million customers' personal details stolen by hackers

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/paypals-tio-data-breach-1-6-million-customers-personal-details-stolen-by-hackers-1649988

and that's why I love bitcoin no need to trust 3rd parties!

Subject of this topic says it all 

Also I would like to use , looking to use, some lightweight wallet. Since I don't feel like having the main client as it needs to sync with the network and will need to in the future.

Thanks all for your answers I appreciate them all !

Would be the best if somebody could list me few of them so I can try them out.

So basically I started in this crypto currency thing for few weeks and I started to learn how does the wallets work so far I think that I understood it well.

I want to ask (if somebody know) how does Bitcoin Wallet work for mobile phones? Not online one but this one - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet

I   see that it has peers (are they used to confirm transactions) also I see that this wallet needs to sync. How does it work? Why it doesn't download whole block chain and how does it connect to the blockchain network?

Also If I use backup option - does it stores my Private keys as well as public key? So for example I backup wallet today and I have few transactions in the future and I reinstall the app - with backup I will be able to have my last balance? (since network has infos about my previous transactions)

If there anyone who knows this and I'd appreciate if you can explain to me, thank you in advance!

Thank you in advance your ManaMan!
