What happens when a forked chain becomes longer than the main block chain? Let’s assume the forked chain that just became longer has no transactions in it, so it is as if every transaction in the last n blocks never happened. As I understand it, the official Bitcoin client will recognize (…)

I am noticing that Coinbase is up about 7 dollars per BTC compared to other exchanges. Is this normal in the markets or is Coinbase now raising their price since they are the biggest?

When one tries to deposit or withdraw, a dropdown list shows several choices, including Perfect Money, MoneyPolo, and OKPAY (and some other ones, including various cellphone-related ones with high fees, which I’m not interested in). If I’m not wrong, Mt. Gox supported OKPAY too, back in (…)
I was excited to use Bitcoin for my first time at a physical store, only to be embarrassed and in the end I paid for my dinner 4 times. (i’ve used bitcoin online with no problems many times).
Here is what happened:
1) A food truck advertises they accept Bitcoin 2) I said i’d like to pay with Bitcoin 3) He pulls out his iphone and mentions he hasn’t had someone pay with Bitcoin for a while. 4) He tries to find his bitcoin wallet app – I have no idea which wallet he used as I didn’t really recognize the symbol (it took him a bit of fumbling before he found it) 5) A bit more fumbling to setup the payment request 6) he figured it out and typed in the price to request: $9 7) The QR code was generated 8) I pressed the QR code symbol on my coinbase wallet and it momentarily froze/glitched my phone but 2nd time worked. I paid with my coinbase wallet by scanning the QR code – it did some weird vibration thing on my phone with absolutely no confirmation that I sent a payment – nothing happened on my wallet or his wallet visually. In the spur of the moment and with a line up behind me I scanned it again..still nothing. He said to try again, so I did and again nothing. 9) He gave me the slip that says I paid and said to get my food cause he has to help the other people behind me now 10) I press return/back on my coinbase wallet while waiting at the side and see that there are 3 pending send payments to him of $9 on my phone and says pending even 1 hr after. For some reason each transation had a decline button but when pressing it a message pops up saying it failed due to not being a request. 11) I get my food but I am now akwardly waiting at the side staring at my phone and the three pending send transactions. After he helped everyone in the line I went up to him and he said he still got nothing and went to look into the transaction history and shows the last transaction someone made with him was June 12th. During this conversation he says he’s no bitcoin expert and that he lost money by accepting bitcoin because he never cashed them when they were worth “double” in 2013. 11) ended up paying with my mastercard :/ 12) I logged into my coinbase account on my laptop maybe 2 hours later and see all payments have been sent to him with 8 confirmations (no longer pending)
This experience ticked me off and when I got the food I had to tell my mom, brother and his fiance that it didn’t work and that I may have paid him 4 different times (now confirmed after looking at my coinbase accnt)

Up until this point I’ve never used bitcoin, though I’m looking to replace my total dependence on the banking system, as well as give me a new medium to explore as a budding programmer. I know there is at least one service that allows me to get my pay directly sent to a bitcoin account, and at least two or three services that allow transferring those coins to debit cards. I’m really not looking to hoard it so much as use it as a day to day currency. Here is my questions as someone who is somewhat familiar with the technology/community but has no firsthand experience:
How trustworthy are these types of services? Are there services that really outshine the competition?
What are some potential issues with using it as a day to day currencies?
Are third party based services/web based wallets secure?
What are some of the security measures recommended for keeping my wallets from being hacked/targeted?
Lastly, as a beginner, what are some scams/services i really need to be weary of?
