   Yes, from the mpv(1) man page: Q Like q, but store the current playback position. Playing the same file later will resume at the old playback position if possible. Just quit with Q instead of q.

    Not really, it depends. You don't need a bank account to accept bitcoins, all you need is a Bitcoin wallet. If what you want is to convert bitcoin to fiat currency, there are lots of ways to do that. You can do that by using Circle&#x2

    Yes, I've just tried bitcoin for the first time for receiving money and I couldn't believe how easy it was. What options do you suggest for converting to local currency, USD in your case?

    Bitcoin is not a toy, it's a very useful tool for transferring value across borders and very good at that, especially when banks and companies such as Western Union impose unreasonable fees on their users. Also, Bitcoin is not as volat

    Why is that weird? The thing is, I've been working remotely for 7 years with Rails, but lately it's been difficult to get remote work so I had to take the local offerings and that means going back to PHP as most companies in my ar
