What would you recommend are the steps to update to the newest release v0.7 (in my case I have v0.62 from early June) ?
I have not made any local changes to the code.

Code:
$ git clone https://github.com/romanz/electrs
$ cd electrs
$ git fetch origin
$ git status
$ git pull
$ cargo build --release

How are the metal plates held together, to stop the whole thing falling apart ?

Is it possible to lock the Frozen Armor with a padlock ?

You can buy a small metal box and lock the Frozen Armor inside. Anyway, thanks for your suggestion, we may consider that in the future.

Is there anything holding the front cover together to the back plate (with the letters)

I purchased something via PayPal, which the seller refunded to me. It is showing up as refund "completed" on PayPal, but not showing on my GBP debit card after 3 days. Is there any issue with PayPal refunds to a virtual debit card ?

3) As for purchasing, say something in amazon priced in euros in an euro denominated country, there would be no commisions/fees at all? (ie, I buy a toaster priced euros 10 and euros 10 is all I get charged in my card?).

4) I'd send bitcoins to fund my balance, no commisions applied from uquids side, but what bitcoin price would be applied? Or would I hold the total bitcoins I've sent to fund my card and can change the bitcoins to euro whenever I need to at the rate most favourable to me?

The fees amount to 1.5%

If using PayPal, make sure you change the card's denomination from Gibraltar Pounds to the correct currency USD/EUR/GBP

Thanks, so just to confirm,

BTC -> Mobi Wallet BTC = no fee

Mobi Wallet BTC -> Mobi Wallet USD = -0.7% under bitpay approx

Mobi Wallet USD -> Mobi Visa Card = No loading fee ??

Edit : confirmed no additional fees, and currently +0.44% above the bitpay exchange rate

Mobi wallet questions:

Given the fee structure I assume it is the same wavecrest card that other services like uquid are using.

Converting the free 1000 mBTC to USD or AUD gives the same 0.7% fee below the bitpay rate. From there the value is presumably kept in the chosen fiat currency like coinapult locks.

The visa card is debited I assume from this USD balance ($2/month) as are the Visa debit transactions.

Are there any additional fees for using the Visa ? These smaller companies charge a "loading" fee, whereas I don't think Xapo does. Do you charge a loading fee ?

Can we cancel the visa card to stop these $2/mo deductions.

Can we order multiple Visa cards ?

What happens if our USD fiat balance is zero, but we have wallet balances in other currencies/BTC ? Will the monthly fee be deducted from our non-USD balance ?

Do you plan to offer other currency Visa cards ?

What documentation is required for verification ?

How do customers withdraw fiat currency ? For example if Alice sends Bob USD$100 via Mobi to his phone number, how will Bob withdraw the USD (if he has no interest in converting to BTC)

The fees and charges page needs to list all applicable fees. It lists wavecrest card fees like the $1 per month, and ATM fees.

However your fees page neglects to show the applicable 1% bitpay fee, and the 0.5% loading fee. It is impossible for a consumer to use bitcoin on your platform without paying this fee.

One key difference with other sites like steam (bitpay) is if I pay a steam invoice I do not pay an extra 1% the recipient absorbs it. Bitpay is not a consumer orientated business, it is a merchant payment processor.

I'm not suggesting the bitpay fee is unfair (localbitcoins charges advertisers "makers" 1%, and in my country credit card surcharges are frequently added to the invoice for CC payments) just that it is undisclosed on your fees page.

So in summary, using bitcoin with a virtual debt card in GBP via PayPal, the fees were 1% + 0.5% + £1. This is much better than the forex / PayPal fees of using my normal credit card.

I've just signed up for Uquid and have numerous observations

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1588857.msg17355324#msg17355324

In particular, the GBP virtual credit card is not in GBP but in Gibraltar Pounds (GIP). My Bitcoin -> Uquid wallet funds are in GBP, but adding the virtual credit card in PayPal the native currency GIP is subject to a 3% forex conversion for GBP payments.

edit : it is possible to switch off Gibraltar Pounds forex conversion in paypal

To set this up in PayPal, go here https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-merchant-pull-funding&buyer_hub and choose "Conversion Options" next to your funding source. Then, on the following page choose "Bill me in the currency listed on the seller's invoice".

I have previously spoken well of the Uquid card. I would like to see a specific response from the Uquid staff about this post.

I found another post linked from the OP, here is what Uquid have to say about the hidden 1% fee on top of their advertised 0% fee

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1485950.msg16199105#msg16199105

Edit :
This just gets worse and worse, I've loaded bitcoin into GBP to my Uquid wallet and added the virtual credit card to PayPal.

Everything in Uquid and PayPal is set to GBP, but when attempting to make a GBP payment with PayPal linking my Uquid virtual credit card, the native currency of this card is GIB -- Gibraltar Pounds. This means a 3% PayPal fee hence the conversion rate : £1.00 GIP = £0.959575106 GBP

So my total fee for using Uquid is +1+3+0.5 = +4.5%


Edit 2 :
a google search led me to these posts

I've tonight tried out UQUID for a GBP virtual debt card and in contrast to the OP, I find there are hidden misleading fees, to the extent that the OP sounds like a shill informercial.

Quote
allows users to get maximum value out of their bitcoin when loading their debit cards.

Quote
Uquid doesn't rely on misleading marketing tactics

Quote
Uquid is not adding any hidden fees.

Let's review their fees - https://uquid.com/fees
Quote
Many methods deposit into uquid with 0% fees
Code:
Set Up:
Virtual Card Issuance Fee (one-time cost) £1.00
Monthly Service Fee £1.00
Spend Money: Association transaction Per transaction £0.00
Deposit Fee Bitcoin Per transaction 0%
Withdraw Fee Bank Transfer Per transaction 3%

What they don't tell you - transferring from BTC to GBP they charge between 1% to almost 3% exchange fee above the bitpay exchange rate

https://bitpay.com/bitcoin-exchange-rates
US Dollar   $952.52 USD
Eurozone Euro   €905.09 EUR
Pound Sterling   £772.09 GBP
Canadian Dollar   $1,280.01 CAD
Chinese Yuan   ¥6,615.06 CNY

Attempting a deposit of £772.09, Uquid generates a payment QR code for 1.01 BTC (+1%)
Attempting a deposit of £5, Uquid generates a payment QR of nearly +3% above the bitpay exchange rate.

From the GBP balance in one's account, to then add funds to the debt card costs additional fees which are not listed in the fee schedule.  I would have to assume this funding step is mandatory as it is a Visa debt card.

Code:
Load balance into card
NOTE :
Max fee: £50.00
Min fee: £0.10
Transfer fee: 0.5%
Minimum amount: £0.00
Maximum amount: £1,000.00

So from my experience UQIUD does have deliberately misleading hidden fees when exchanging bitcoin and when loading the debt card of up to +3.5%.  

Additionally if there is an excess fiat balance you want to convert back to BTC, UQUID charges 3% + whatever fees are charged by their linked conversion - their first listed "Exchanger" charges 5.5-6.6% fees

If passphrase support will be added, can you consider implementing a method to counter potential keylogging on the host computer? Like maybe a scrambled-letter cypher on the Ledger's screen that changes each time?

Why did Ledger decide to limit PIN to four digits? I bet many users will use the same PIN as one of their credit cards. Increasing the PIN to five digits would be so much more secure. I hate the idea of a thief getting even a one in a thousand chance to guess the PIN.

that's pretty arbitrary - it'd be fairly easy to support a dynamic size, especially with no modification on the application logic since everything is done on device. I'll see if we can push this in the first firmware release.

Down on the to-do list, any chance of seeing the distress wipe PIN return for the command line script

How does PIN entry work ? Like setting the time on your oven ?
Are passphrases supported ?
How are seeds generated ? Just like HW.1 by the chrome app ?
Does seed generation use 2 sources of entropy ?
Is the mnemonic seed generated on the hardware wallet and exclusively displayed on the OLED screen ? Or on the chrome wallet extension like HW.1 ?
How does mnemonic seed recovery work ?
Out of the box does Ledger S work with mycelium/electrum or will they need updates ?
Will a new udev rule be required for *nix ?
What happens after 3 incorrect PIN attempts ? Will Ledger S share the power cycle requirement between PIN attempts ?
What are the specs of the STM chip ?
Where are the apps stored ? On the STM ?
What source code of Ledger S is available to review ? What's closed source/NDA and unavailable ?
When's shipping?
Do you have a video of S in action ?
Do you need a reviewer ? :-)
