thanks for the notice, good luck in your project.

Payment received, many thanks.

I upgraded to 0.15 and the fee estimater on this version seems to do a more accurate job, not sure. You have to wait until its in sync though, i did by accident send out 1 test transaction with like 20 satoshi fee of something crazy low - guess i will be waiting a few days for that to clear.

Russia have been flip flopping for years already on bitcoin.  The fact they are talking about it is a good compliment.  I remember 2-3 years ago when all the russians got banned from trading on BTC-e.  Seems like they are trying to be the new china but dont have the mining power to be very relevant.

Never heard of it, sounds like just another scam coin to add to the list, please move topic to altcoins.

Between trusting the community, the reviewers, the manufacturer etc i would pick the communities long term judgement on open source product as the best thing to trust.  So what does that mean to me... having the bitcoin core wallet on a linux operating system, is maybe the safest bet - Has anyone ever been hacked on a linux system hot wallet?

I dont like keeping too much of the same information in the same place.  So a safe with all the details and private keys concerns me, what if i get a burglar etc, a safe means i got something good for them.  What i have done up to now is just informed a family member that in my house there are details to access everything in different locations - this would probably take them several days to work out where the bitcoin is.  This is vague information but best i can do right now.

Which hardware wallet do you think is the best to get in 2017? (price not important, security and ease of use is)

How do you know the manufacturer hasn't installed something malicious in the hardware wallet?

I saw a unanswered question on youtube saying, what happens if the hardware wallet chip fails can you get you bitcoin back?

Sounds like another 3rd party which contains extra risk for your money.  If you think the hedge fund can invest better than yourself then ok but you have to take some % off the investment for the risk you take by giving them your money.  Barry silbert does a great job taking the super rich's money in return for simple investment in BTC or ETC.

Perfect thank you.

All the posts i posted since saturday are there its just how this signature campaign works is when they count up they finish the count with your total posts.  So since Theymos has been deleting old threads from way back my post count was much lower.  I either need a new post count (the figure since saturday) or to be counted from saturday the date rather than the post count number.

They have a monopoly but they dont "force" you to do anything as such. You can either use them or use something lik open bazaar.  The problem is though everyone uses ebay etc.  I dont know why they dont allow you to accept crypto in some way though, ebay will argue they cant force a refund if the buyer has a problem with the transaction.  However ebay give you the ability to mark as payment received if you deal with cash for example on a trade you've made person to person. 

Maybe ebay could have a feature where you put a certain amount of money/crypto in escrow with them while the crypto transaction goes through. This kinda feature would only be needed if you had little reputation on ebay anyway.  I know just recent i bought something via paypal and accidentally did it under the wrong account so i did not have any money in my bank connected to the paypal but because i had a large history with ebay/paypal they covered the cost and put my paypal in negative amount until i repaid it later.

Its not single posts because you get notified when those posts get deleted.  It must be whole threads being deleted.

Ok but it might also be that Theymos has deleted some old threads, a few other people have lost post count as a result:

Is there a way for my posts to be counted from saturday? (or whatever day it is?).

Yeah same thing happened to me.

Hmmm i've been posting since saturday and my posts on bitcointalk still = the same as my starting posts.  Not sure if its a forum error or what.

Yes they might do if we go higher enough in price, current figures are worth their time in crashing the market, we need to hit trillion dollar market cap first.  Remember manipulated markets are great because it shows the asset is worth manipulating, assets which are worth little get no attention.

The scarcity from crypto comes from mathmatics.  Physics which secures gold like you say is also a conceptual study at its core.  The physical reality makes gold have its current value.  Crypto currently has network effects, hashing power and intelligent community backing it - those a pretty decent things for 2017.  At some point in the future gold could easily become worthless via space travel or our ability to create gold properties with technology.

Finex plans to list it is to give a objective measure to if the fork actually has any value.  The previous chain split token they launched was bitcoin unlimited and the trading volume on that pair was tiny.  The forks will continue while people can make money from them, just like alt coins.

The thing about the large united odds to win... well they still have to play away at liverpool so the game could go either way.  International games also cause teams to lose their flow so do not be surprised if liverpool get something from this game. Im predicting a 1-1 in a very tight even game.
