I'm very new to rails and have very little experience with programming in general. I was given the project of creating a simple rails app that is able to check a users Instagram when given their User ID and Password. My question in general is how do I approach this? Where do I start and essentially how do I do this?
Well, you should never ask for the user's password for an external service (no sane user will give it to you). Instead use omniauth (omniauth-instagram, specifically) to get an access_token and then simply use the Instagram ruby gem (https://github.com/Instagram/instagram-ruby-gem) to get their timeline.

I want to add a two way authorization in my ruby app, just like freelancer has for work and hire. Is there an easy way to do this. In my app there will be two types of users buyer and seller. Seller will have the power to post adds and buyer can bid on them. that's all
For authentication purpose, you can use Devise and for roles (buyer/seller or client/freelancer) management, you have CanCan
You can refer to this tutorial:
Rails Authentication with Devise & CanCan

I would like to allow users to send me emails directly through my app, and am wondering if this is possible to do?
Your best and most simple way is to bring up the send email view (or even mailto:) with your app specific email to receive comments and requests on.
Another option is to design a web page that has a couple of fields for information and then hooking it up with PHP.
Just about anything works, it all depends on how you balance user experience and easy of implementation.

I'm trying to look through different APIs for bitcoin transactions, but havn't been able to find a clear path for what I'm trying to achieve. I was hoping some one could explain to me an easy way to send bitcoins based on the entered amount from the user on a form. I'm going to be using ruby on rails to create the site.
With ruby on rails its very simple. Coinbase has its own gem: gem 'coinbase' which you can add to your gem file. Then simply look in the docs (https://coinbase.com/api/doc) and the source code (https://github.com/coinbase/coinbase-ruby) of the gem to find what you need to do. Hope this helps!

I am working on a rails app and i want to add a chat functionality just like facebook. does anyone know how i can go about it. i am kinda new to rails so the task is quit difficult form me to accomplish
Messaging is a very difficult thing to do. I would stay away from it if you're new to Rails or web programming in general.

I’m currently trying to find a way of sending Instagram DMs to specific users via an API (im building an iOS app and this is one of the functionality im trying to build). I know there are solutions that currently offer that (like Jarvee or Instazood) however none of them seems to offer an API that will allow me to do that in my own app. Given that Instagram current legacy of Instagram API that seems to allow DM will be discontinued on Dec 1st, I cant seem to find an option that enables me to do that. Any idea guys ?
Hey you can use https://github.com/dilame/instagram-private-api to send dm's to your user.
It's written in node but you can find other libraries in other languages
