13941  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How do I restore the last 7 characters of the private key? on: August 24, 2020, 08:42:57 PM
Is the private key generated by and exported from Blockchain.info?
If so (and only if this is true!), I've had success with this:
Blockchain.info has been known to have this bug for a long time.
It doesn't check the checksums and lengths of the WIF keys entered and that's quite a big problem.

The bug is hard to reproduce outside of BCI, so my suggestion would be creating a new wallet (remember the usual security precautions, and since that key has already seen BCI, it can be considered compromised), importing the troubled WIF key and exporting it back (I've tried that with an intentionally-corrupted key and it appears to work).
It didn't work with the private key shows by OP. I don't know why, but blockchain.com imported it "correctly", then gave me a completely different key when I exported it.

Code:
cat -n input.txt | sort -uk2 | sort -nk1 | cut -f2- > output.txt
This looks genius in simplicity! It worked on a small sample, I'm currently transfering and extracting 31 GB of data to do the full test. There's no way the double sort will fit the 100 GB VPS, but this should work without using a lot of RAM.
I'll continu my test results in my own topic: List of all Bitcoin addresses ever used.
13944  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: List of all Bitcoin addresses ever used on: August 24, 2020, 11:39:02 AM
If someone has enough RAM to experiment, I'd love to see the result of this (on the 31 GB file):
This looks very promising:
Code:
cat -n input.txt | sort -uk2 | sort -nk1 | cut -f2- > output.txt
I'll be testing it soon.

Some results: The awk-thing uses just over 1 GB memory for 10 million addresses. So for 1.5 billion addresses, a 256 GB server should be enough. At AWS, that would cost a few dollars per hour.

I've tested with the first 10 million lines, and can confirm both give the same result:
Code:
head -n 10000000 addresses.txt | awk '!a[$0]++' | md5sum
head -n 10000000 addresses.txt | nl | sort -uk2 | sort -nk1 | cut -f2 | md5sum
As expected, awk is faster.
13945  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum. Transaction stuck in the pipe? on: August 24, 2020, 11:28:35 AM
Firstly, my second (failed) transaction used the same Receive code (address) as my first (successful) transaction.  Is this ok, or is it better to generate a new Receive address to send the bitcoins to?
You can re-use the same Bitcoin address, but in general it's better for privacy to use a new address each time. In this case, it doesn't really matter.

13947  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: All used addresses on: August 24, 2020, 09:59:41 AM
The sort command can keep chronological order without using ram
How? I haven't found that option.

Okay, I will purchase a domain tonight and set up a big NO but with you, it would be better. That's why I asked you.
Dot.tk is free.

13949  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Electrum wallet address change?! on: August 24, 2020, 09:52:16 AM
I have a hacker who has in the past has made his bitcoin address public. I have come across someone who claims to be that person and so I am wanting to verify that he's not an imposter but the actual hacker that I am wishing to speak to.

With this, then would it still be best to ask him sign a message to verify?
If it was the hacker, he'd know to sign a message and he would have done it by now.

Requesting to merit source for help rank up.

I will not mention any specific posts
Off-topic and Merit begging..... I approve Cheesy

I took the easy road of re-meriting some of his older posts, I don't have time to read a lot now. But I've seen enough to know it's deserved.

Theymos approves too:
But undoubtedly some people got screwed by this, and if they have decent posts, by all means, give them the 250 or 500 merit that they need to rank-up.

It would be a good tool for bursting account sales and other investigations if it's implementable.
I've searched for this several times, without results.
But even if you find a match, anyone can try to sell an account with 13587 Posts, 1946 Activity, 6823 Merit and green Trust. It doesn't prove anything.
13952  Economy / Reputation / Re: Is Lauda still on DT? (taking requests!) Update: added Changelog! on: August 24, 2020, 09:31:45 AM
LoyceV, someone or some people are reporting my posts heavily to get me banned.
Unless it's plagiarism, this won't easily get you banned.

IsLittleMouseBanned.tk to check whether Little Mouse is banned or not. It would help them to monitor me easily.
Sorry, I don't really want to add a new category to my automated searches. But you can easily make it yourself: get a free domain name and (free) hosting and just put a big NO on there. If you ever get banned, edit it.

You have 9 deleted posts on modlog. If you're worried about it, you can check all your old posts and delete the ones that break forum rules by yourself.
13953  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Electrum wallet address change?! on: August 24, 2020, 09:24:29 AM
I know that it is person A who has the wallet address "143f23d".

Because of this, I am trying to see if the person who claims to be person A can prove to me that he is indeed person A by having him send me a small amount of btc to my wallet so that I can identify that the small amount of btc sent to me has indeed been sent from "143f23d".
Again: this isn't going to prove anything. What person A should actually do, is give you an empty address to pay to, and not an address that has been used before.
Person A has no reason to make you pay to an address he doesn't own. If person A wants to scam you, he'll give you his own address. And if he's honest, he'll also give his own address.
Asking for a payment only shows you don't understand Bitcoin. Can you explain what you're trying to pay for? Maybe there are other options, such as using an escrow.
13954  Other / Meta / Re: Merit count on: August 24, 2020, 08:40:16 AM
I'd rather get 1 merit from LoyceV, The Pharmacist, and other legendary users than 50 merits from the others or worst inactive and wake up acc.
In a way, my sMerit is quite meaningless: I have to get rid of 800 per month. Someone who only has a few has the luxory to only send it to very good posts, so getting one of those should mean more.
13955  Other / New forum software / Re: How do you use the "draft" option on: August 24, 2020, 08:14:41 AM
I would make the max number of drafts and days configurable, default to 1000 and 30 days perhaps. Storage is cheap.
I checked a while ago, and 100 drafts lasts me about a day. I preview and edit a lot.
I sometimes use the drafts to restore a lost post, but it's quite useless as it doesn't last long. I'd even want more than 1000 posts (and 30 days) to be more useful. I currently have an unfinished post that I've been postponing for about a month. Once in a while, I click "Preview" to keep a new draft again, but I've also saved a backup on my PC. For convinience, it would be good if drafts are more reliable.

If you close the window, pc restarts, bsod etc and open a thread you are prompted if you want to load the draft. Thing is after if you write in another thread it overwrites the existing draft.
Most of the time, my browser restores all tabs and the unfinished post is still there. But not all the time, and I've lost some posts that way.

My account shows this:

Daily limit 100.00€ remaining
Last time I checked, Binance still allows to withdraw 2 BTC per day without KYC, but you'll need to do the transactions on their website each time.

There's a story to this one Cheesy Since I've established I'm bad at predicting and I'm unlucky, I've asked my wife to make a prediction Cheesy
I gave her all data I have, and about 45 minutes later she gave me this:
412,998,600
I think it's too low, but my hands are tied now Cheesy But if her prediction is right, I told her she'll have to do this every other day Cheesy

I'll still post my username to go with it: LoyceV.
13958  Economy / Reputation / Re: Is this merit begging? on: August 23, 2020, 04:49:03 PM
I think theymos should implement rules and punishment for such begging since we people or DT have nothing to do on it.
This covers it:
Do not beg for merit excessively.
13959  Economy / Reputation / Re: Is this merit begging? on: August 23, 2020, 02:55:19 PM
Seems thread has been trashed. Noticed from Archived thread, sending merit on the thread will lead to acceptance and will increase the chance of acceptance.
Here's the full topic: Soon a great campaign in support of Bitcoin.
I noticed the Merit begging yesterday, but was on mobile and didn't want to type. Several users mentioned the Merit begging already in the topic.

I don't really see this succeed though, and announcing a future signature campaign long before establishing the factory to create a low-alcohol beer doesn't look very promising. The only thing related to this forum is the name: "Bitcoin beer".
Spending $6000 in advertising on Bitcointalk for a heavy product that will be expensive to ship while it's value is low makes me suspicious to say the least.
13960  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum. Transaction stuck in the pipe? on: August 23, 2020, 02:17:31 PM
As for sending the second transaction again, I am very concerned about the possibility of this causing some type of glitch that erases my bitcoin forever. Can this happen?
No. The Bitcoin protocol won't allow to send it twice.
Bitcoins can't be "erased". You can still lose them by sending them to the wrong address though.

Quote
I have just looked for a transaction ID for the second transaction, but I cannot find one.  The second transaction doesn't seem to be listed in the "History" or "Coins" windows.
.. if not in either of these two windows, does anyone know where I might find this on Electrum?
History tab > right mouse button > Details
If it's not there, you probably didn't send it.
