just a question regarding updating electrum and I'm still not entirely familiar with electrum. do I have to uninstall my electrum every time there is an update or there a way to update it without deleting electrum from my computer? I tried updating it using the link provided inside the wallet but while updating an error occurred and told me to either abort, retry or ignore. after clicking abort my electrum won't open so I decided to just uninstall it then installing the latest version. again, is there a better way of updating electrum other than uninstalling and stalling it again? TIA!
I would not recommend updating from the app itself as there was a malware version pushed (it is noted on electrum.org as well). Always download from electrum then verify signature and then update it from verified version.

Hi, when creating new wallet under Choose Seed type
Default option is Segwit but text suggests to pick Legacy.
Which one to pick? and any complications with picking one over the other?
You should always pick Segwit unless you have to receive bitcoins from somebody whose using an exchange that does not support sending to Segwit addresses. Sewgit addresses are the newer address type which have lower transaction fees and by using them, you help push their adoption more.
Thank you will do

Big big achievement and huge congrats to the team!
That is good to hear, and has anyone out there tried to use Semux smart contract in testnet before? Any progress or update with the wallet? because the last time I used it, it took more than 1 GB to complete the sync. It is a lot.
We badly need new exchanges if contracts get release soon. We will need exchanges for price discovery and stabilization.
Even if it gets listed on Binance today, it won't change the fact that we are in bear market. It is totally impossible for us to tank this trend, the price will recover as soon as the trend changes and peoples reclaim back what they had lost(their faith). Currently a lot of peoples are watching from the sidelines, waiting for an opportunity to get in. Be calm, everything will be alright as long as the team keeps delivering what they're promising for. It's all about time, no need to rush it
Thanks for kind response. I don't expect us get listed on Binance. My concern was that being on small exchanges come with risk. Less exchanges = higher risk. more exchanges = less risk. I am patient and with semux from the beginning.

You can use google spreadsheets to update portfolio automatically from CMC. There was a formula that looks up price based on token ticker. You have to do some digging. I will update this post if I find the material.
People felt same after 2013 crash. Things will move. BTC will reach new highs. You can check bitcoin halving and compare it with previous years to get an idea on trend.

something like this would be good. But how reliable is it? For example if Ether is slow due to transactions processed by ether then all projects running on ether would be slow too.
I will monitor this project only for now.
Edited to correct second statement

Most of the time it is not required to collect personal information for ICO. If ICO is asking for too much personal information then don't take part in it. Especially if it is an airdrop. Your information may land in wrong hands and could be used for wrong purposes.

I lost people when I tell them about distributed decentralized ledger blockchain - the technology that powers Bitcoin and ensure data integrity. I find it difficult to explain to people and they get lost most of the time.
Then i just tell them that it BTC is a invisible gold.
