Title: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: Oldnewbie on May 09, 2018, 03:21:48 AM Can anyone explain what would happen if I created a wallet in 2010 and someone sent coins to the wallet address, gave me a tx number that I stuck in and hit receive, shut the wallet down and left Bitcoin demon running ( It probably didn't sync with the network) and went to work. When I got home the power had been off and the computer was off, I never had it back online since then. I looked on the block chain at old addresses and don't see that amount around the time it happened.
Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: Sellingaccs on May 09, 2018, 04:37:23 AM someone sent coins to the wallet address, gave me a tx number that I stuck in and hit receive Could you explain what do you mean with this? You don't seperately hit any "receive" or "accept" type of buttons if the transaction has already been sent/broadcasted to the network. An exception is that at least with the current client, you are able to create a custom request for a certain amount for example if receiving payments from different clients. left Bitcoin demon running ( It probably didn't sync with the network) and went to work. Even if you have not synced the whole blockchain, the transaction should have been broadcasted within matter of seconds to the network. At that time mempool was pretty empty i guess, so it should have not been dropped from there either. However im not certain if the early clients did that as well, or if you had to sync the whole blockchain before sending. At least the current versions send them to nodes anyway. When I got home the power had been off and the computer was off, I never had it back online since then. I looked on the block chain at old addresses and don't see that amount around the time it happened. Are you sure that he actually sent everything to you? Probably not if you cannot see it in your wallet nor any block explorer.

I looked on the block chain at old addresses and don't see that amount around the time it happened. If someone sent bitcoins to one of your addresses and the transaction was mined onto the blockchain, the bitcoins are at your disposal if you still have the private key (or the mnemonic phrase). Whether your node happened to be online and synced doesn't matter. But if a reliable blockchain explorer shows an empty balance for the address, then the balance for that address is empty.Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: LoyceV on May 09, 2018, 05:41:42 AM Can anyone explain This is your seventh (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;threads;u=1771764;sa=showPosts) topic on this subject. I'm starting to think you're just trolling.Why don't you put all information in your first topic?

Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: nc50lc on May 09, 2018, 06:03:55 AM After that "someone" sent you the transaction ID and you can confirm that it has confirmations with blockexplorers (blockchain.info) it's in that wallet, assuming that the address belongs to it.
You can take all the time in the world before syncing/opening that wallet again. someone sent coins to the wallet address If this actually happened back then, there's nothing else required to complete "that" transaction.If the bitcoins isn't there after synchronization, either the transaction was dropped or it isn't the correct wallet.dat from 2010. Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: Oldnewbie on May 09, 2018, 06:52:15 AM Does anyone know how I can search the block chain for a range of dates and amounts. I would like to find the transaction to see if it went through.
Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: nc50lc on May 09, 2018, 07:08:51 AM Does anyone know how I can search the block chain for a range of dates and amounts. I would like to find the transaction to see if it went through. Use any online blockexplorer like blockchain.info (http://blockchain.info), enter the block number of the block you want to investigate (you can enter that transaction too).All the transactions are included there (including the coinbase tx) along with the useful information:
If it was from 2010 (which you mentioned from your other threads), blocks at that time only consists of <10 transactions, finding a particular tx wont be that hard. You might wanna check #50001 (https://blockchain.info/block/000000001c920d495e1eeef2452b6d1c6c229a919b28196c103ecffebabee141) and above for transactions from 2010-04-10. Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: Oldnewbie on May 09, 2018, 07:31:36 AM Timestamp/Received Time I think the reason I couldn't find it before was that I was searching dates in my time, it's probably all UTC. I'll try that thanks.Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: LoyceV on May 09, 2018, 07:53:44 AM Would a transaction be still in there address on the block chain until I sync my wallet. If you don't have the txid, the address or the private key, there's no point in searching for the amount in any transaction.I haven't found my wallet yet, I bought coins from someone and would like to know how things worked back then so I can try and find them on the drives. I have reasons why I couldn't get to the drives I have. If you can't get to your wallet, none of the other things matter.Quote But I read different things on here about how it worked back then. I didn't post everything together because they are different things that I'm trying to find out about. I think it really helps if you put all information and questions together. Now it's bits and pieces everywhere.Quote Would a transaction be still in there address on the block chain until I sync my wallet. Yes. That's how blockchains work: transactions never disappear, and funds only move when someone makes a new transaction.Does anyone know how I can search the block chain for a range of dates and amounts. I would like to find the transaction to see if it went through. Download this list for all balances per address (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=267618.msg35710820#msg35710820). Search for the amount you want, then search the addresses on a blockexplorer to find the date.If it's a common balance, you can expect many hits. If it's something weird (like 1.13141533BTC), you'll get less false positives.

When I got home the power had been off and the computer was off, I never had it back online since then. I looked on the block chain at old addresses and don't see that amount around the time it happened. None of this makes any difference... you don't have to create a "receive request" or have your wallet online or synced or running... if the other party created, signed and broadcast a transaction to the network that was subsequently included in a block by a miner... then those coins are attached to that address.Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: BitcoinFX on August 27, 2018, 08:09:41 PM PM sent to @Oldnewbie.
Lots of inconsistencies here in what you have posted, so I thought it would be easier to move this here ... BitcoinFX, can you pm or email me, I have a couple questions about back in 2010. Your account email address is 'hidden' and if I PM you then I'm not sure you can respond due to your (current) newbie account status. You are welcome to ask me what you want, thus I suggest we continue the conversation in your related thread topic here: - https ://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3667157 ?

So the coins should be in my address, even though I never logged in with that wallet. Or would the coins show up in his address because the transaction never went through?Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: BitcoinFX on August 28, 2018, 07:25:38 AM Does anyone have a email address for smoketoomuch, he helped me setup my computer, you can pm it to me. I can see them, but I cannot respond to them yet. Newbe account. Can't remember the name I used on here in 2010. Nope (sorry) I don't have their email address and even if I did then releasing other folks personal details to a completely random entity would not be something I would consider doing. Anyhow, that account is still active sometimes so maybe you might try to PM them directly? Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: Oldnewbie on August 28, 2018, 02:59:56 PM Nope (sorry) I don't have their email address and even if I did then releasing other folks personal details to a completely random entity would not be something I would consider doing.

Make 7 more posts (don't spam!), and you'll be a Jr. Member, which allows you to PM anybody.Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: Oldnewbie on August 28, 2018, 07:29:39 PM Thank you LoyceV for that info. When we were talking about transactions in 2010, if the coins still show up in an old address, and they were sent to a cold wallet address, does that mean that the transaction never went through.
Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: bob123 on August 29, 2018, 08:12:03 AM When we were talking about transactions in 2010, if the coins still show up in an old address, and they were sent to a cold wallet address, does that mean that the transaction never went through. A cold wallet is simply a wallet which is not connected to the internet in any way. And a wallet is a piece of software which manages your private- and public- keys. Whether a transactions went trough only depends on whether it has been included into a block. It doesn't matter whether the private key to access these funds is stored offline or online. Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: Oldnewbie on August 29, 2018, 04:14:06 PM Does anyone know how to see transactions that are good, that are not included in the main chain.
Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: grinbuck on August 30, 2018, 07:53:42 AM Does anyone know how to see transactions that are good, that are not included in the main chain. Huh? If they're not included in the main chain then they don't exist. There is only one chain - the longest chain - the "main chain". Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: bob123 on August 30, 2018, 08:29:52 AM Huh? If they're not included in the main chain then they don't exist. There is only one chain - the longest chain - the "main chain". That's not necessarily true. These transactions do still exist inside of orphaned blocks. They are not part of the main chain, but these blocks do exist. And they are indexed and searchable. Does anyone know how to see transactions that are good, that are not included in the main chain. You can view the block info of orphaned blocks here: https://www.blockchain.com/en/btc/orphaned-blocks (https://www.blockchain.com/en/btc/orphaned-blocks) The orphaned blocks are valid blocks which are not part of the main chain, but contain valid transactions. Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: grinbuck on August 30, 2018, 08:37:18 AM They are not part of the main chain, but these blocks do exist. And they are indexed and searchable. Thanks for pointing that out. Learnt something new. ??? Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: LoyceV on August 30, 2018, 08:53:34 AM These transactions do still exist inside of orphaned blocks. Blocks get orphaned all the time, and as far as I know the orphaned transactions aren't abandoned, they're just added to other blocks again. That makes it very unlikely to find a transaction that's not in the main chain this way.Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: bob123 on August 30, 2018, 09:45:17 AM Blocks get orphaned all the time, and as far as I know the orphaned transactions aren't abandoned, they're just added to other blocks again. This applies to 'normal' transactions. But maliciously sent transactions which aim to create a double spend do leave transactions inside orphaned blocks which aren't later added to the main chain. So while the majority of transactions has been added to the mainchain through other blocks, a few have not been added (which are still valid itself in terms signature check).

Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: Oldnewbie on August 31, 2018, 01:43:29 AM Hi everyone! I am not sure where I need to post to get help...I will explain my situation below: I would probably start a new post, so that more people would see the subject related to your situation. If you received one transaction and haven't received the other, I would look to make sure that you typed the address the same in both. Then check block chain to make sure the transaction are there. if both are there, then contact coinbase again.On August 9th I sent two transactions from my Kraken account to my coinbase account. These transactions were sent to the same coinbase wallet address about 15min apart... one transaction was for .09 Bitcoin and the other .64 roughly. The first transaction went into my coinbase wallet no problem, the second transaction has still not hot my coinbase account. I have contacted both Kraken and Coinbase with no luck. Kraken says the transaction was successful so they cannot do anything on there end...Coinbase says that the wallet address is not linked to my coinbase account...however this is not true as transaction #1 for $600 roughly went into my coinbase wallet...transaction #2 is still sitting on the block chain and is roughly $4,000 which is a lot for me. I have all the picture proof of the transaction on Kraken showing both sent to same wallet....coinbase keeps telling me that the wallet is not a coinbase wallet. I am stuck and have no way to get my $4,000. I am very stressed out and do not know what to do! Any help someone can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thank You! Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: HCP on August 31, 2018, 03:56:27 AM Get the transaction IDs from Kraken, look them up on a block explorer...
Double check that: - the second transaction is actually confirmed. - the second transaction actually sends to the same address as the first transaction.

When I got home the power had been off and the computer was off, I never had it back online since then. I looked on the block chain at old addresses and don't see that amount around the time it happened. If some one sent the coins to that walle, then there should be the coins, even if the wallet get down or get offline, the bitcoin network keeps running, so there is no reason to not see the coins on the addy, unless the transaction get a double spend. Maybe when you take a look at that block you search for a wrong addy, bitcoins doesn't disappear in the air, so if that transaction was really made, it should be listed in the blockchain.

Also would be interesting to know who the number 2 deleted profile was and the first deleted ones too. About finding orphaned blocks older than what is seen on blockchain info, you can use -printblocktree or just use this file that theymos posted of his own node: https://www.mirrored.to/files/1EB4UZDD/printblocktree.txt.bz2_links Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: Oldnewbie on September 24, 2018, 04:18:55 PM About finding orphaned blocks older than what is seen on blockchain info, you can use -printblocktree or just use this file that theymos posted of his own node: https://www.mirrored.to/files/1EB4UZDD/printblocktree.txt.bz2_links Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: tokexchain on September 25, 2018, 07:18:23 AM Can anyone explain what would happen if I created a wallet in 2010 and someone sent coins to the wallet address, gave me a tx number that I stuck in and hit receive, shut the wallet down and left Bitcoin demon running ( It probably didn't sync with the network) and went to work. When I got home the power had been off and the computer was off, I never had it back online since then. I looked on the block chain at old addresses and don't see that amount around the time it happened. If the transaction was successful, there is no need to even boot up a client or wallet (for years if you don't want to), once you start the client and fully sync the blockchain, the coins will be there. Have you checked the blockexplorer? Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: Oldnewbie on September 25, 2018, 03:15:38 PM Here you go: 1. admin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1) .... 199. 200. I'm assuming that " does not exist " is because they were anonymous, because in the beginning you could post as anonymous and that is why I don't see any of the conversations that I had with people. But I probably had a username back then, because I received pm's. Not sure why it would have been deleted though.

Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: Oldnewbie on October 01, 2018, 05:15:36 PM So while the majority of transactions has been added to the mainchain through other blocks, a few have not been added (which are still valid itself in terms signature check).

Well that didn't last long (Jr member) because of the merit system it switched me back to newbie status. Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: SmokeTooMuch on November 23, 2018, 07:29:31 PM Does anyone have a email address for smoketoomuch, he helped me setup my computer, you can pm it to me. I can see them, but I cannot respond to them yet. Newbe account. Can't remember the name I used on here in 2010. Okay, now I am here. I do not remember setting anything up for you or helping you with anything. When did that supposedly happen? Also, I am still unsure of what exactly you are trying to achieve. You do not have a wallet, an address, a transaction ID or anything else that is narrowing down what you are trying to find. Is this correct? Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: Oldnewbie on November 27, 2018, 09:47:20 PM Okay, now I am here. I do not remember setting anything up for you or helping you with anything. Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: SmokeTooMuch on November 29, 2018, 12:04:00 PM I did not talk to you on the phone for several hours, and this I know for a fact. You've been accusing me of maybe not being the real SmokeTooMuch in PMs, but I think you are just confusing me with someone else.

You've been accusing me of maybe not being the real SmokeTooMuch in PMs, but I think you are just confusing me with someone else. I think there was only one smoketoomuch that tried to auction 10000 bitcoins, when that failed, you set up a waffle also, I sent you money and you had me use a service that I had to verify my identity to send money, I think you had to use your real identity also, because there was a real name on the bank statement. You didn't send the full 10000 bitcoins when you said I won, but you sent the amount of coins, that you were saying they were worth then. Who ever was smoketoomuch called me on Skype and helped me setup the computer it was really slow, funny part is the coins are still there.Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: SmokeTooMuch on December 09, 2018, 03:37:27 PM I think there was only one smoketoomuch that tried to auction 10000 bitcoins Yep, that's me.when that failed, you set up a waffle also I did not.I sent you money Since I didn't set a up a raffle or anything like it, you did not sent me money, at least not for a raffle ticket.I think you had to use your real identity also, because there was a real name on the bank statement. I did some over-the-counter trades back then, so if we actually traded (not that raffle ticket nonsense) this might actually be possible.You didn't send the full 10000 bitcoins when you said I won I certainly didn't.but you sent the amount of coins, that you were saying they were worth then. The only incident of this happining was the BitDNS/NameCoin Bounty, where I pledged to donate 1000 BTC initially, but actually ended up donating only 292 BTC (which back then was roughly around 6000 EUR). It wasn't a very nice thing to do back then, but I apologized and from the few guys that actually pulled through with their pledge, I was one of the biggest donators. Vinced actually promised to share around 30% of the donations with the rest of the BitDNS team, but last I checked they were still in his addresses.This whole thing is actually something I wanted to talk about for a long time, but it seems off-topic, so I will probably not do this here. Link to the BitDNS bounty thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2072.0 Who ever was smoketoomuch called me on Skype and helped me setup the computer it was really slow, funny part is the coins are still there. I know I can't prove this, but this account still has the same ownership as when it was registered in 2009. And I do not remember calling anyone on Skype for such a thing (especially because my English skills back then weren't exactly in a great shape).I'm still not sure what it is that you are trying to achieve, but either you are some kind of scammer, or one of our memories is failing us. I'm a friendly person, so I assume the latter. If there's still anything I can help you with please let me know.

( I don't think it is necessary to put out private information just to prove a point). I don't understand how I could be trying to scam you for anything. All I need from you is to look at your wallet from that time period and tell me how to decrypt my encrypted key, since there were changes that was made to the encrypted wallet before it was released. And there are network changes since then . If you look at your transactions from back then, you might remember.

If you want help from me about events that didn't happen, there's clearly a need to get the information straight.I don't understand how I could be trying to scam you for anything. You seem to constantly shift your goal posts. You either have no real clue what you are looking for (or at least fail to express that clearly) or you are trying portray yourself as a victim in hope someone will refund your coins (scammer tactic).I personally want to beleive you just don't know what you are doing and I want to help you with that by clarifying some things. All I need from you is to look at your wallet from that time period and tell me how to decrypt my encrypted key, since there were changes that was made to the encrypted wallet before it was released. And there are network changes since then . If you look at your transactions from back then, you might remember. You don't even remember your old username or anything that would lead me to be able to identfy a transaction as sent to you. Give me precise information and I might dig up my old wallets and look them through.Information I was able to gather so far: Taken from here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2844290):

You then want to acquire copies of blockchain files here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3422353) and here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3444194.msg35898685#msg35898685) which doesn't help your problem at all. Either the network agrees that a transaction has happened and it is included in the blockchain (and therefore observable via a wallet or blockchain explorer) or it agrees that it didn't happen (e.g. orphaned block and tx never re-included in block (which is highly unlikely)) and in this case you just plain and simple never received the coins and your whole effort to regain them is futile. Now to the thread we are currently in: Can anyone explain what would happen if I created a wallet in 2010 and someone sent coins to the wallet address, gave me a tx number that I stuck in and hit receive, shut the wallet down and left Bitcoin demon running ( It probably didn't sync with the network) and went to work. When I got home the power had been off and the computer was off, I never had it back online since then. I looked on the block chain at old addresses and don't see that amount around the time it happened. Ignoring that the workflow you described is false (you don't enter TX IDs and you don't need to hit receive to receive coins, just to generate an invoice), if someone sent Bitcoins to an address that corresponds to a private key which is contained in that wallet, opening this wallet will give you access to the coins, no matter if your client has been online or offline. If you can't see that transaction on a fully synced client or via an block explorer for the Bitcoin network, you are not able to use these coins as they do not exist. This is what the others have been trying to tell you.No, not trolling LoyceV. I haven't found my wallet yet, I bought coins from someone and would like to know how things worked back then so I can try and find them on the drives. I have reasons why I couldn't get to the drives I have. But I read different things on here about how it worked back then. I didn't post everything together because they are different things that I'm trying to find out about. Would a transaction be still in there address on the block chain until I sync my wallet. Here you are claiming you haven't found your wallet yet. If this is true, all the statements regarding the decryption via pywallet have to be false. Please make up your mind.A few questions for you:
Please stop posting confilcting information and try to form explicit sentences that arent subject to (mis-)interpretation. EDIT: Be aware, after some further PM correspondence, it's seeming more and more likely Oldnewbie is trying to scam someone. I'm not 100% sure yet, but the things he claimed did never happen (and cannot have happened, encryption and wallet seeds were not around during that time). Title: Re: Transaction from Summer 2010 Post by: Oldnewbie on December 18, 2018, 10:25:20 PM No wallet seeds, what I thought were wallet seeds was for seed for pgp encryption. Smoketoomuch I never said anything about seeds to you. I just can't believe that someone else could have used your account back then to setup a transaction. That sounds like bullshit to me.
