What is the meaning of 0x in the front of your bitcoin address?
When I downloaded the pdf file when I made an Ethereum Wallet, it has 0x in it.
But when I looked at the notepad where I choose to open it, there is no 0x in it.
Is there a significant difference between the two?

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

It's only for Ethereum addresses (and clones) and it means the data after it is in hexadecimal form. It's also a nice way to tell apart Eth addresses.

Another question here is what if the campaign manager asks for ETH address and you removed the 0x? Because that's the thing that happened to me. When I opened it in notepad, the 0x is already gone and that's the one I used for a signature campaign. Now, the one with 0x and the one without a 0x, is it different? Or is it just okay to use your address without the 0x in signature campaigns?

Yes addresses starting with 0X can be used to transfer ETH and all the  ERC20 tokens (you will need a wallet like myetherwallet to display the ERC20 tokens though)

So I have to put the 0x in the campaign?
