I don't think we're going to see a WW3, the reason for that is many countries now hold nuclear bombs which wasn't the case in previous World Wars and if WW3 were to happen sooner or later the countries will use their nuclear weapons and then it will start a chain reaction and the other countries will take counter measures by deploying their nuclear weapons as well.
This is why every country will avoid situations which can start a world war as it can bring about destruction to human kind all over the world.

Paypal is not recommended as it can be charged back and Bitcoins and Litecoins cannot be charged back. But if you must and if you understand the consequences of dealing with paypal and are ready to take the unnecessary risk than Localbitcoins is the place where it can be traded instantly if the buyer is online.
Just make sure you trade with people who have had many successful trades and have positive feedbacks, although even then it's not certain that they will not charge back. It is best if you choose another payment instrument which is more safe than Paypal.

You're both right, I am going to make one just for fun and give it a few weeks to see how much I am able to make. Thanks  |

Since the search is disabled I am using google search and that's where I saw it, when I opened a thread it it looked exactly like bitcointalk.org. I didn't realize it at first and almost entered my username/password but I always take a look at address bar prior to logging in any website (out of habit) and that's when I saw that it's a fake site. So take precaution and block it on your pc once and for all and also report it on google phishing. |

It's great but the money from advertisements will go to the bitcoinrotators, right? and the user will only have to rely on the money from referrals.

And again, wherever there is scamming there is FORTUNE JACK?
WTH? Why are all there sig campaigns on sock pupets?
Stay away from: fortunejack.com
I triple checked the thread and haven't seem anything related to fortune jack here  (maybe the forum advertsing if I reload the page, but would not be their fault) You're right, I don't see any replies from anyone containing fortune jack signature, he must have seen the advertisement https://i.imgur.com/1R5vxEk.jpg and thought it was somebody's sig. |

I am really confused with all of this, I just hope that it doesn't happen anytime soon because a lot of people need to understand about its pros and cons and what exactly they need to do prepare for the fork, I was reading the discussion here True or False: If not enough people join 20MGCoin, we fork into Bitcoin and 20MGCoin [I'd then want Bitcoin] and as far as I understand from it, if I have 2 bitcoins in my wallet, after the fork I will have 2 bitcoins on each blockchain?? but only one of it might have any value and the other will sink to the bottom of the ocean? But that is only if it is an even split, I don't think it'd be that even. And does this mean that we would need new clients for the new blockchain? In any case, you will need to run the "A" version of the software to deposit "A" coin or use the "A" coins that you withdrew, and the "B" version for the "B" coins. What about people who are not aware of this and don't use Bitcoin Core? Sorry if it is a dumb question, I am just trying to understand it's affects. Be gentle!  |

When can we see a Mycelium wallet for Windows Phone? I think a lot of people are struggling with finding a good bitcoin wallet for WP which contains all the features and Mycelium as far as I have seen it's reviews seems to be no.1 choice when it comes to mobile wallets.
Is there a way to get it installed on WP??

I am using copay on my windows wallet and it works flawlessly but the only worry I have is I don't know any way of importing the backup to any other wallet, which is why I am afraid of sending any big amount of coins to it because if for some reason it doesn't work tomorrow I have no way of getting hold of my funds.
It is also missing some features as importing a paper wallet, sending to multiple addresses etc.
Apart from that it has a really simple interface and is very easy to use.

I don't trust this or any other exchange but the things is we're stuck, there aren't many options out there, so you just have to follow the crowd but having been said that I have never faced any problems trading at Poloniex.
I think as long as they're communicating it's fine, I think something like this also happened when everyone started claiming and selling clams at Poloniex, so hopefully it's just a temporary issue and it will get resolved soon.

If we're talking about a blockchain fork, in simpler terms it would mean that the blockchain 'splits'.
I see a lot of thread on bitcoin fork all of sudden, just wondering what will be the affects of this split in blockchain and does a normal user who doesn't mines really need to know about what a fork really is? Someone care to explain it in simpler terms. A fork is when there are 2 blockchains running, because the difference of adoption of an update in the bitcoin core. A very idiot is that let's say that in the Bitcoin core version 11, every transaction must be sent with a red loop on it. Miners that don't like the idea of the red loop won't use it, so every transaction sent from a bitcoin v11 will be rejected, but miners who use the bitcoin core v11 will accept, and them a fork happens where 2 blockchains are splitten in the network.  This sounds serious, so some people's coins will be stuck on older blockchain and others will be on the newer one?? Why exactly was this necessary? Was there anything wrong with the current blockchain? I mean why fix it if it isn't broken? If we're talking about a blockchain fork, in simpler terms it would mean that the blockchain 'splits'.
I see a lot of thread on bitcoin fork all of sudden, just wondering what will be the affects of this split in blockchain and does a normal user who doesn't mines really need to know about what a fork really is? Someone care to explain it in simpler terms. Well... Those questions are a bit harder to answer. It will depend on how a fork takes place. If for some reason people running a certain client are deemed to be running an incompatible blockchain then it would affect them. To avoid this as a bitcoin user all you have to do is keep up with client updates. If upgrading is crucial at some point I'm sure it'll be hard to miss. Aside of that, there are many "ifs" about the recent revelations. If Gavin decides to publish a client that will hard fork the current blockchain, it's very much possible that for a period of time, two blockhains could be running at the same time. So while balances are the same on both at the start of the fork, it's also up to the miners. If miners/pools mine exclusively with bitcoin core/xt then one chain gets rejected. If both chains are kept alive however, earlier owners of bitocoins have coins spendable on both chains. So it's up to each individual, you won't lose bitcoins if you're careful, but you'll have to be cautious about new updates, services you use etc. This is great, as it is some people were complaining that it is hard for common people to use bitcoins and now this will make things super hard. Fantastico! So when exactly is this fork taking place? |

Let's see a signed message from that address of yours containing the 5 Bitcoins. After that an escrow can be arranged by the buyer when you and him have established clear terms of trade.

Ok, I will wait for you to tell me how to use that backup in another wallet before sending any big funds to it. I don't know much about coinb.in and how it works but I'll try it and report back how it went. Thx Note that coinb.in uses funds that you don't use as transaction fee. So you will have to manually add change address. If you use one address all the time, copy-paste the address you are sending Bitcoins from in recipient's field and input an amount after decreasing transaction fee. Ok, I will remember that, will try some small transactions to see how it goes, I have never used it, not even on pc and still thinking about how should I use it locally on the phone.  Edit: got it on pc, how to import keys from a paper wallet? There is a camera button at left side if you want to scan a paper wallet. Sweet! This'll do for now. Thx |

I am using the latest version now but the really annoying thing I find in it is there is no way to import keys directly, it only shows the sweep function and I don't know if there is a way to do it in console. I don't understand the reason behind removing that feature, it was so useful for when one needs to import paper wallets instantly.
You will have to create a new wallet and when creating choose restore wallet to import private keys. If you have already created a wallet with seed, you can't import an address. It is mainly to prevent users' loosing their funds due to lack of backup. I started creating two wallets. One with seed and another for importing addresses. I suggest you do the same or use other wallets like Bither and Multibit. Creating 2 wallets sounds like the simplest solution. How do you go back and forth, change the wallet files from their default location? You can change between wallets in Electrum menu. Open wallet other than 'default_wallet' to go to wallet with imported addresses assuming you already created wallet with seed. That's pretty handy and I didn't know that. Thx MZ |

This has never happened to me fortunately. I am interested in how to prevent this from happening. I think I am going to create new addresses in advance and don't send coins to them until I am sure new addresses stick in my wallet after logout and login again.
The only thing you should do to prevent this from happening is take back up and make sure that you have the key to the address you're sending the coins to. |
