This seems like the closure.
In 2011 or 12, I met Amit Bhardwaj in a Bitcoin meetup we use to run in Delhi.
After the meetup he approached me and few others for a scam.
Ever since then I have seen him do scams after scams, each larger than the earlier.

I hope stupid media doesn't want bitcoin banned coz of this.

Because to peg a sidechain to the mainchain, someone, centralised or in a decentralised manner, must verify that transaction met some conditions (e.g.,to lock the coins on mainchain and is certain levels deep). If the transaction is malleable, it is difficult to programatically achieve this since txid could change. I think depending on the design of the sidechain, this can be taken care of, BUT although the solution might be programmable, it would most probably be centralised.

Try pocketbits.in and let us know your experience too

Ya, this is step backwards by zebpay with respect to bitcoin but they might have been forced to do so by the government rules.
Try purse.io (or might get lucky on lbc) for buying amazon vouchers with btc

Quality discussions happen over on www.indiabits.org and there are people from all aspects of crypto like miners, developers, entrepreneurs, teachers, officials etc.

I feel the ethereum blockchain shall cease to exist in a few years because it is neither turing complete as they falsely advertise, nor is it a technically a blockchain because a blockchain only works as an DMMS algo if the underlying token governs one fixed task, whereas ether does not. How does one determine the gas price of an opcode in a network? How does ethereum do it? (I think only people understanding the need for proof-of-work blockchain will understand this) One cannot do this accurately as evident by the spam attack on the suicide function in ethereum a few days ago.

Agenda : Accepting bitcoin for businesses and individuals
Location : N block CCD, CP, Delhi

Do not use any APIs and use your local blockchain instead! Bitcore and bcoin both provide you a javascript layer on top of a local bitcoin blockchain running on your system ..

Nope I wasn't. One takeaway I find is that regulations are coming in soon which is great news. I hope people post more info.

Sorry, I am not interested in the group buy but if I may suggest, the lectures by nptel are way better and free. I have cleared gate CS 5 years in a row and always got less than 500 rank and 50+ score just by going through nptel videos and practicing the relevant books mentioned. (Didnt join because I only wanted IIT Bombay CS which ends at 150 rank) ..

For clearing product based companies I would suggest finishing the exercises in major CS topics like, Computer architecture, OS, data structures and algorithms (do CLRS book) ..

You can always PM me if you are stuck at a specific topic and stackoverflow is your best friend ..

I would suggest spending time, rather than your money..

Yes, the group is primarily investment and trading but still a very knowledgeable group.

Please post pictures, am interested. Shipping charges? warranty?

Sorry but blockchains were invented by bitcoin.

Also there is nothing for banks to look at in the "blockchain tech" since it is only effective in decentralised scenario;
In a centralised scenario blockchains are worse ( slower and expensive) than traditional systems.

Lack of trading is actually good for the bitcoin ecosystem as trading has nothing to do with bitcoin. People will then directly earn and spend (and not buy and sell) bitcoins. The government cannot ban internet, govt cannot ban speech - bitcoin works even without computers.

The govt can maybe play a role in short term (a decade maybe at max?) but in the long term cryptocurrencies are beyond govt control..
