-snip-
Da die Eingänge der TX genau gleich sind wie die Ausgänge, kann man annehmen, dass KEINE fee gezahlt wurde?!
(imho landet doch die Differenz zwischen Ein- und Ausgang beim miner, oder?)
-snip-

Beispiel: https://blockchain.info/de/tx/bcf933ff33f9400db17d19a669e54acebf08cecafa24207e393a5cb4f58d7adb

Quote
Insgesamte Eingänge    0.01158236 BTC
Insgesamte Ausgänge    0.01148236 BTC
Gebühren    0.0001 BTC

Ja, die Fee ist die Differenz zwischen Summe der Eingänge und Summe der Ausgänge. Wird aber bei blockchain auch konkret mit angegeben wenn Du dir die Transaktion ansiehst.

-snip-
...ist jetzt nach 3 Stunden übrigens immernoch nicht bestätigt...
bei Bedarf poste ich die TX ID
-snip-

Ohne Gebühr kann das auch mal 7 Tage dauern. In der Regel gehts aber schneller.
10042  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Question about wallet.dat on: May 28, 2014, 10:04:51 PM
Hello-

  If I have a copy of my wallet.dat file, no matter how old, if I reformat my computer and replace the wallet file, will the wallet re-sync with the most recent balance of coins? Example: I saved a copy of my wallet.dat file 3 months ago on a flash drive. Yesterday, I reformatted and made the mistake of not updating the wallet.dat file with the latest coin balance. If I put the old wallet.dat file in the folder and re-sync the wallet, will the newer coins populate to the wallet address, despite the file being 3 months old?

Thank you

The short answer is: maybe. I assume you use bitcoin core (because wallet.dat), which pregenerates private keys for you. If you have only used "new keys" that where allready pre generated for you 3 month ago, you have no problem. If you however used a lot of new addresses within these 3 month you might have bad luck.

This is not necessarily true.

Miners (or mining pools) can choose which transactions they will confirm.  Some miners may feel that the orphan cost of increasing the size of their block is more than 0.0001 BTC per kilobyte, and may therefore choose not to confirm transactions unless they pay a slightly higher fee.  -snip-

Thanks for the correction. I was aware that pools can choose which transactions they accept. I did not think that any pool would consider the default fee to low though. I guess the threshold would usually not be common knowledge, since there is no mention of it in the usual lists1. Is there any pool out there that actually considers .0001 per KB to low?

10045  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Unconfirmed Transaction on: May 28, 2014, 02:38:12 PM
To speed it up, you should pay at least a .0001 BTC fee, maybe .0005 BTC.

Even if you do .0005 BTC, it can take a while to confirm.

Yesterday, it took an hour for a miner to find a block. The blockchain was "frozen" for that hour, but then confirmations started rolling in.

A fee over .0001 does not make the transaction any faster. As long as you pay the default fee per kbyte you are fine. Everything else is like a tip for the miners.

How to build a test BTC network ,What development steps? 
Any help here would appreciated.  Wink

No need to "build" one, there is one allready.

Run bitcoin-core with -testnet1. If you have to add a node manually use addnode blockexplorer.com add.

You get coins there either from testnet faucets (I got 2 BTC for testing within a few minutes) or mining (low difficulty)

Don't even know what these things you guys are talking about. Over my head again. I don't have a sense of humor sometimes, and am not a genius,

So if you may, type in that someone would know what your talking about "laymen terms" phrased simply, without jargon.

Write "lawyer sentence" in/on your profile/facebook account/youtube account changes nothing.

This was an example. A lot of youtube accounts use it.

Did you think this thoroughly?

A billion flies cant be wrong...

does this1 ring a bell maybe? It is working as good as chain letters and "forward this to 42 friends or you will die a virgin".

Even after 24 hours, nothing has changed. It is still stuck at the same block.

Indeed, I do have a computer which is 4 years old, but I experienced no problems untill this block.

Could it be another programm that is blocking access to the files? Antivirus software that detected a false positive in the blockchain would a likely candidate.

You might want to try the bootstrap.dat1 and start from there.

Why wouldnt I express my personal opinion about your posts?

Also if you quote my posts "for future references" you should quote the entire post.

For the people that in the sig business for long, what kind of post stunna didn't pay you?

Posts that are less than 10 words and posts that consist of images or +1's are most likely all going to mean that you won't be paid for that particular post.

Are you kidding or what? Cool

Any post that is less than 10 words in length classifies as spam IMHO. If you're making posts that are as short as that then you aren't really contributing anything to whatever discussion you're in.

Thank God that you're not Stunna! Cool

I can see what Diamond is hitting at. For example, your reply doesn't seem to be contributing to anything. Little relevance at all, actually.

Actually, it does contribute. If it didn't, you wouldn't care to respond, right? Grin

And now the same in less than 10 words: If it didn't, you wouldn't care... Wink

Just quoted you, because you where the last on in that part of the discussion, not because I think your post I constructive Tongue

I did not request payment for these posts and stunna did not pay for them.

That's total BS, even if it has less than 10 words it may be constructive and helpful...gotta repeat this: Thank to god you're not Stunna Wink

I agree the number of words do not matter, it depends on the context. A simple "Yes, that is correct" can be very constructive and/or helpfull.
10053  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 51% attack on: May 27, 2014, 07:44:11 PM
ghash.io also has around 40% now on bitcoin, but to do attack with it, they would loose more that they could gain by me

AFAIK, Ghash is still quite a bit short of 40%.

It solves 35% of blocks for the past 4 days. (https://blockchain.info/pools?timespan=4days)
It solves 32% of blocks for last week, from May18 to May24. (http://organofcorti.blogspot.com/search/label/weeklypoolstatistics)
It solves 33.5% for the past 2016 blocks. (http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/top.php)

Keep in mind that GHash is still a pool. ~55% of their hashing power is from indipendend miners1. They could be gone very fast if word gets out that GHash is attacking the network.



I should have been more precise, thanks for the correction.

The amount of transactions you do has little to nothing to do with the safety of your coins.

Keep your wallet safe, keep your machine safe and your coins are safe.
10055  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Spending Unconfirmed Transactions?! on: May 27, 2014, 11:36:26 AM
Yeah, but I know not everyone can find it anyway so it's better than leaving them exposed.

Id do it differently, but I understand. Thats why I decided to keep them out. In case you are wondering, they never hit the server, I edited localy before the first post.

And no I'm not thinking about tx2, you get some base amount in first then send countless tx2s with 0 fees and 1 satoshi amount.

IIRC 1 satoshi is not enough for some reason, must be at least 452 satoshi or something like that. Not sure about the number. But the problem is the same ofc. If I get 500 inputs with 500 satoshi each that are not confirmed, its a lot of spam on my client. I read somewhere that very small transactions are used as advertising, as you can add "buy at XY" on blockchain.info for the output address.
I guess (not sure If I miss something) it would be possible to spam someone with very small transactions. Its spamming with money, but a truckload of penny's at your door is still annoying.
hmmm... should test that on the testnet Smiley

oh and the other/only thing I did before the problem started was download a DarkCoin wallet....could that be the issue? lol

If the darkcoin wallet is checking blocks/running/using resources in the background this might be the issue. I think just another wallet installed should not be an issue.
10057  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Spending Unconfirmed Transactions?! on: May 27, 2014, 11:11:00 AM
I just happened today again I made two screenshots which you can see below, one from Multibit 0.5.18 and from from Blockchain.info:




I can't normally do that, it gives an error saying Not Enough Balance until my funds get at least 1 confirmation.

This is really confusing because everything is just grey blocks. Sad

Well... can be found anyway

TX1 is this: 8043-snip-
TX2 is this: f350-snip-

If those are not yours, we can just use them anyway since they are similar enough.


Disclaimer:
I decided not to post these as you did not do so yourself. I understand that you want to remain as anonymous as possible, but sometimes -esp. if you need help- you need to reveal some information. I personally dont see a problem with reveiling 2 addresses and some tx-ids. I however do not know you or your bussiness, so I can't be the judge of that.

Lets get to the point Smiley


According to https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_rules#.22tx.22_messages we have a set of rules that make a TX valid or invalid.

Rule 10 says:
Quote
For each input, look in the main branch and the transaction pool to find the referenced output transaction. If the output transaction is missing for any input, this will be an orphan transaction. Add to the orphan transactions, if a matching transaction is not in there already.

It looks like this is only possible if the mining pool received both of your transactions and has knowledge of both transactions. Your Multibit has knowledge of the first transaction when the 2nd is made. So Rule 12

Quote
For each input, if the referenced output does not exist (e.g. never existed or has already been spent), reject this transaction

I had in mind the whole time, does not apply. This only works if both transactions get accepted in the same block or tx1 gets accepted in a block earlier than tx2.

This however does not explain why your client sometimes refuses to do this. This should allways be possible given enough time. This might be an issue with the fact that multibit has a central blockchain and you do not have a local copy.

-snip-
No, it's confusing the users. How can you tell what's legit and what's not if you suddenly receive hundreds of random income from random wallet addresses?

That might be the case indeed. You are thinking about tx2 in the above example without tx1, correct?
If a node gets tx2 before tx1 it should just not save it and not broadcast it further because without knowledge of tx1 the transaction tx2 is not valid. So unless you will finally receive the coins this should not show up in your client.

B sends the unconfirmed 1 btc from A to C, both are unconfirmed now.
-snip-

That is not possible. B can only send what has been send to B. B can not spend someone elses coins (e.g. A's). If that would be possible I could just spend your coins. But you probably want to say that B spend the coins that did not belong to B at that point. Which makes an invalid transaction. They will be "dropped" / "thrown away". See below...

-snip-
Please define "thrown away", will it stay unconfirmed on the blockchain forever or will it just be deleted from there (is it even possible considering the protocol?!)?
-snip-

An unconfimred transaction is not on the blockchain yet. It is just in the collective memory of all (or some) nodes. Only if it is valid it has a chance to be stored in a block and be part of the blockchain. This can only happen if all inputs are valid. This is checked by the miners. If a miner would include a fake (as in invalid) transaction in a new block, this block would not be accepted by the other miners. The block would be "orphaned".

 
Why doesn't it happen a lot? Because it would do no good. Even casinos that allow instant deposits won't let you withdraw until the deposits have been confirmed.

What if someone (with a large botnet) starts sending thousands of fake broadcasts to legit addresses each minute as long as he can with intend to confuse and overload (not literally) the system? If someone sends you dozens of fake 1 btc income that will stay unconfirmed forever, wouldn't that confuse you? What if you change your address, send your bitcoins there and he still tracks you and keep doing the same? What if you were to receive dozens of random fake btc each minute, can you really operate with that happening? It's really easy to broadcast a >1KB transaction to the nodes. If that happens, how will you know what's legit and what's not?

I am not sure how the network would react to an attack like this. But its not "confusing" the nodes as they can check whether a transaction is valid or not.
