haha.
there is no difference between Cryptocurrency Yuan (digital cryptocurrency) Digital Yuan (money that is handled by banks). it may be the reason why you heard the name as "digital" Yuan instead of "crypto" Yuan becasue there is no difference.
as for cyber weapon, they can't do more than whatever US is doing already! so it is nothing new here.

whenever price is moderately stable there are less trades so there are less deposits/withdrawals so logically fees remain normal. but the reason could also be because of the new Coinbase transaction batching which emptied a lot of spam from the blocks recently.

by the way it is "byte" not "bite"

you can contact mocacinno and see if he can help you with some larger amounts of TBTC. he also has a faucet you may visit: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5223320.0

meanwhile there are 3 active faucets that i use whenever i want to test something and they are enough for me:
https://testnet-faucet.mempool.co/
https://bitcoinfaucet.uo1.net/
https://coinfaucet.eu/en/btc-testnet/

people barely trust obvious short links such as goo.gl and bit.ly because they are "hiding" the real URL and visiting random sites could be a disaster specially for bitcoiners who may leak their secret information and lose money if they get infected. they are never going to click an unknown looking URL that is also shortened.
if you are looking for ways to earn money, there are better ways.

you don't know that. the new "wise" money always comes in when there is a huge discount like this and price has gone way below the intrinsic value. that is why it is called "wise money" it looks for good investment opportunities.
but the main reason it jumped 20% because it was undervalued and the low price that bitcoin was at was a price way below its intrinsic value. the whalecumulators tried so hard to push it lower but when they failed they started buying back.

realistically hashrate never drops suddenly in big percentages like this ever. we had lots of cases where it could drop hard but it didn't such as all the attacks during 2017 and early 2018 and with the much higher incentive to mine copy-shitcoins but it never dropped like this.
there has been only slow declines the effect of which aren't even seen in block times.
by the way price has not dropped that hard to even begin to worry about it like this. it is even recovering already (went to $7100 today).

not the crypto market but bitcoin.
this is specifically because bitcoin market has never been like any other market and it has never been changing based on things that go on in the world. but thanks to a large number of panic sells and a lot of whale accumulators we saw a drop which means it had a negative effect meaning it pushed people away showing a lot of risk of manipulation.

it is not a new thing for traders, specially the altcoin traders to pull out their money from the market as the market keeps on declining. they may initially dump for tether but eventually they won't want to remain in that altcoin because it is still very risky. it has happened many times in the past and this current situation is not even the biggest one. we have had bigger tether price crashes in the past specially during the time when bitfinex was hacked and again when banks closed their accounts.
at the end of the day USDT is still a centralized altcoin with a huge risk.

it depends on the project they are advertising but from what i have seen i could categorize 90% of them are scammers because the majority of these bounty projects they were advertising were scams and if someone helps a scammer rip people off then they are considered as an accomplice specially since their advertisement could have led to many newbies falling for such scams.

he doesn't sound like an analyst to be honest. he seems like a day trader with a lot of wishes. before he had a bunch of shorts so he wanted the price to go down and kept repeating it without any analysis. and now that he is done with that, he wants to buy back and see the rewards so he has made a 180 degree turn.

it is not COVID-19 that has affected bitcoin price, it has never been because there simply is no relationship between the two. it is literary every other market that has been dumping and the fear that the weak hands had thinking there should be a dump in bitcoin too so they jumped the ship. with whale manipulation accumulation on top, we've got ourselves a big crash

i totally forgot about the time before merit system was added.

people just panicked and went crazy. if anything it shows the effects of unreasonable fear on the bitcoin price. and it wasn't directly linked to coronavirus but it was liked to everything else being dumped that caused fear in people expecting the same dump in bitcoin so they tried to act faster and caused the crash becasue of that!

as for Store of Value, if you mean bitcoin is a currency and like any other currency such as fiat, it is a store of value too. then i agree.

check out python-ecdsa code on GitHub: https://github.com/warner/python-ecdsa i believe this is also what Electrum used for a long time.
it has all the functions you want including an inverse_mod(a, m) in its numbertheory.py file.

well the data already contains users'
- current rank
- current merit
- earned merit
it seems to me that it is a trivially easy computation to figure out what rank each user had.
for example i have 1003 merit and i've earned 503 merit that means i was a Hero Member when i joined.
you currently have 5963 and earned 4941 (according to your site) which puts you above 1000 with 22 diff (probably not updated yet) so you were Legendary when you joined.

usually you store a paper wallet in a safe place that is not in direct contact with the environment. so there is no water damage, sunlight damage,... like storing it in a safe or even in a desk drawer. that means a simple paper without any kind of special protection could last for decades unless exceptionally low quality paper and ink were used.

the only other possibility for damage is if the house itself is caught on fire. in which case no type of paper is safe. a lot of other materials are also unsafe such as wood, plastic and maybe even some metals.
but there is a simple solution to avoid this possibility and that is to store a duplicate of the paper wallet elsewhere like in a safety deposit box in a bank. if the amount is high enough the cost is justifiable too.

this is of course the cheap and easy solution that people like me who don't want to spend money for creating a wallet would like .

do you actually sell those rewards? i always end up using them to get bonuses such as the Free BTC one or the extra lottery ticket one to boost up my earning and chances of winning, not that i have won anything so far.
speaking of winning, 42 days till the Lambo and with current price the reward is somewhere between 37 to 38 bitcoins.

this is wrong based on my observations. more than 95% of ICOs are scam and the other 5% are poor projects with no future at all. ICO by nature is a fund raising and since it is easy and practically free without any supervision it ends up being purely scam.

not being regulated doesn't make the exchange scam. for example the real decentralized exchanges will never be regulated and they are far from being scam.

same here, i also tried multiple times at different times with different address types just to make sure there is no problem with certain type. it always fails.
if the faucet is dry then a better error message is needed instead of a simple "request failed".

it is not the main reason but it helps a lot. like any other similar virus (Flue, common cold,...) we don't see them regularly in the hotter seasons.
