Bitcoin is all good and well and I am also invested in it. My question is what will happen when governments take control of Bitcoin? Look what happened way back on April 5, 1933 when Roosevelt declared all privately owned gold illegal. Will this happen again? If so, then is Bitcoin the alternative?
I would like to know how payment channel mechanic works in practice. What do the involved parties need to do, which information they exchange and how is the security ensured.
Bonus question: What different types of payment channels exist?
Only answers that actually explain channels will qualify for the bounty. While linking to 3rd party sources is encouraged and desired, answers that solely do that won’t count.
There has been a lot of discussion going on about Miner ID lately. What is Miner ID and how does it work? Is it optional for miners to use and what would be their incentive for or against it?
Which cool new possibilities does it enable?
Note: Only answers that properly answer questions on BitQ&A will qualify for the bounty. Links to external resources are more than welcome, while answers with links only won’t qualify.
Are there any miners that already support Merchant API? What are the URLs of their Merchant API endpoints?
what is the creator of BitQA’s email or twetch user number?
I want to write meta information through monenybutton and implement permission control
I’m a programming noob trying to build a website using Money Button and BSV blockchain. I need help (or a visual of code) writing code that increases a number on the page after the Money Button is swiped. Just how “Answers: 0” gets increased by +1 on bitqa.app after paying. I hope $5 bounty for best answer is enough. Thanks in advance!
What are the possible Bitcoin scripts to create a multi-sig transaction? Please provide the script code with explanations.
I would like to see at least two types of such scripts explained (OP_CHECKMULTISIG and the one with conditional OP_IF statements that Steve Shadders showed at this CoinGeek Seoul presentation). If there are more options, please list them as well.
What do you enjoy most about being alive?
