Thanks Knight

That worked perfectly first time and All coin has returned to my wallet.

Thanks to all for advise and Help

I guess your wallet is still rebroadcasting the transactions.
If you're uncomfortable posting your TX ID's in public, I suppose you could just PM them to me and I'll take a look at them.

Thanks your unholiness,

This is actually the sort of help i was looking for ...Ill take you up on that offer if you don't mind .
I'd be interested to know what you find .
PM coming
143  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin-core : Need help with stuck transactions. on: June 06, 2016, 01:05:57 AM
Did you delete the transactions to let them be forgotten by the network etc?  Did you try the steps in the pinned post above?

G'day!

I don't seem to be able to perform any send TX's at the moment.

I have 3 TX's stuck in my bitcoin-core wallet. Its been about 2 weeks now and they don't look to be moving. All have 0 confirmations, but I'm receiving TX's ok Huh!!

I've tried a number of things , a sweep into an Armory wallet , -zapwallet ( this seems to be defunct now)...they just won't budge.

They are small amounts (mbtc) so I'm not particularly concerned about losing them if it comes to that , However, I would like to know what the hell is going on in case it's indicative of something sinister.

I might want to transfer a larger, more significant amount in the future , so i want to make sure the wallet hasn't been ...compromised...in some way.

Frankly , I suspect my fees may just have been set too low and the TX's got sidelined , but i would think that they should have cleared by now... surely!

Any suggestions? I don't read Blockchain and could use some advise.

I'll supply TX details to genuine parties interested in helping me investigate.


Hi CR

Yes i have tried a number of the actions recommended in this thread , but I will review and try again .. Thank you for taking the time to reply i appreciate your effort

Just to be clear: It's -zapwallettxes. And you have to start the client with it, not do it from the built-in console.


Thank you for your reply Bob   ..No I did not know that i had to "start the wallet" with it ...how exactly would I do that mate?

YES!!!
Global economic sytems are failing. The current model is unsustainable.
-Massive coperate banks controlling < everything >
-Governments borrowing out the wazooo and then printing dollars like they were nothing
The world needs an alternative .
Even now while financial institutions have recognised the strength of the blockchain and feverishly work to construct there own "paletable" system,
Bitcoin lives.
It was the first ...it is the best...and the more we talk about it, the more people hear about it and the more accepted it becomes.
All praise the blockchain !!!

Can i ask why did you wait so long ?

At the time of the theft my holdings in GOX had dwindled to under 10 coins.

I initially registered and was sent a few notifications, but found the process to be quite convoluted. Which was possibly quite deliberate .
There were a lot of  "chunky" legal documents  in both English and Japanese and quite honestly I expected to be "told" when to take further action.

That notification never came .My focus shifted elsewhere. I stopped monitoring.
In short, I was lazy and stupid Smiley

At the time Bitcoin was a bit of an experiment for me ...a very interesting experiment , but not a serious investment.
However , now I  feel differently . I'm reading a lot of very promising forcasts and Ive decided  I now want as much Bitcoin as i can get my hands on

I' dont want to buy at the current price  ( i believe that a slump will occur soon)  and mining seems to be a lost cause to small timers like me , so it would be nice to get my lost stakes back just so that I'm still in the game Smiley
150  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is Holding Bitcoin a long time good way to make money? on: April 05, 2016, 05:16:43 AM
Hi.

Perhaps reflection on past performance is useful here.
 
I bought bit coin when it was under 1 dollar. I bought 100 coins and mined 7 myself. A pretty modest holding compared to some admittedly , but none the less , had i held onto them i would have been sitting on over 100 thousand dollars at one point and around 50k now.

There were plenty of "naysayers" around then too.

No one predicted that Bitcoin would ever go past 100USD /coin let alone 1000...but it did.
 
Unfortunately, I lost my coins through a combination of theft via Mt Gox( 2013) , and really really bad /unlucky/dumb trading.

I WISH I'd just tucked them into a wallet and sat pretty !

I found Trading bitcoin  hard and unforgiving. Its pretty volatile and particularly unpredictable. I think its even a challenge for some of the most seasoned FOREX guys.

Personally, I believe that the next difficulty increase will start a new run .I  suspect some of the large players will be able to approximate when the event will occur and manipulate the market value so that the price falls prior. I anticipate the value will  leap to a higher price initially after the event and then settle into a steady increase over the next few years.

I base these contentions on what I've observed over the last 4 years, but at the end of the day its only my opinion and no doubt will attract some  debate Smiley

All that said, and not withstanding another "engineered" disaster like Mt Gox, I believe that Bitcoin will prove to be a very lucrative  long term investment 
151  Economy / Exchanges / Mt Gox: loss recovery on: April 05, 2016, 03:53:34 AM
Hi

Does anyone know if it is still possible to make a claim against GOX for account losses?

It may be a bit late to be squealing , but my indignation gland had a very serious blockage.
It has only just  burst open now,

A vile cocktail of festered anger and pustulant rage,has oozed out and run
down the front of my favourite Bitcoin T shirt !!!!!

You  know, ...the one that says "In crypto we trust"   Angry
 
Seriously...I'd appreciate any advice/counsel.

1. Trendon Shavers isn't going to jail at all in this proceeding, this is a civil action only.

2. Bitcoin being defined as "currency" by a Federal Judge is actually bad as it opens Bitcoin up to a whole host of US laws designed to prevent people from creating their own currency. Can you say "Liberty Dollar".


Just my .02 btc,

ummmm YEP!!

154  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: ASIC? on: April 16, 2013, 12:38:22 PM
I'm relatively new to Bitcoins. I didn't take it seriously a year ago because it was only being used by hackers. I started getting into it because a website I frequent went bitcoin-only.

I preordered a Jalapeno before the new pricing. I thought about buying the next level up which was $649 at the time, but I didn't feel comfortable about the company's current history. The thing I don't like about GPU mining is the amount of power useage and the smell of toasting GPUs. I see no point in making such small amounts of money for so much noise and power. ASICs are the way to go.

I have no idea when the Jalapeno will arrive, but I wont cry over it since it's not an expensive device. In the mean time I am keeping an eye out for new ASIC devices. The Avalons are the current choice but the price is too rich for me. Maybe if Bitcoin keeps on falling I might consider them - it's going to fall under $50 USD, perhaps as low as $40.

LOL...why do you think"only hackers" were using bitcoin...thats kinda funny Smiley
155  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why bother? on: April 16, 2013, 12:35:17 PM
What the hell is trolling???.sorry im new to these forums  Embarrassed
Trolling is saying something stupid or offensive deliberately just to get an enraged response from someone, at which you proceed to laugh. But I can assure you I am dead serious, and I never intended to get rich or any stupid shit I just hoped every now and again I could get myself an 8th of bud but it seems it would take me a month or 2 just to get a few measly grams, whoever makes that 25 coins has sure as hell got to be keeping 24 of them because the payout is an absolute joke. They are straight up scamming us, im not trolling, that's how it is, deal with it. I could go around looking for change on the floor and make money faster.

ok thanks anyway Smiley

157  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: A question for bitcoin wallet client? on: April 15, 2013, 02:31:25 PM
yeah ok....but ya don't really need to download and run the bitcoin client at all really do you...
Ya don't need a local wallet.
You can use an online version of a wallet like coinbase or similar... right? Smiley and as you say, mine from a pool and then arrange to have bounty sent straight to the online wallet address.
You only really [u]need[/u] the local Bitcoin client running ( or even installed for that matter) if you intend to mine solo ...OR am i missing some critical piece of information here ?
I agree .... re-syncing the block chain every couple of days is bloody annoying and if what we are saying here is correct ...a waste of time  Smiley
However, I wonder what would happen  if nobody downloaded the application and nobody used it to complete transactions anymore??
Would that mean that mining efforts would start to come up empty handed ?...would there be no more blocks to solve if the base system transactions just stopped? 
Isnt that what the algorithm in the bitcoin client is doing ...verifying transactions across the network?
158  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: MTGox verification on: December 11, 2012, 03:05:30 PM
NOT HAPPY !!!

MtGOX are forcing me to submit to this AML verification process and I'm only a basic user. (level 0)
I tried to access my account from work a few times ( from behind a proxy server) and this was apparently enough to deem me a risk !!
Next thing I know,  they locked my account and I cant get anything out !!

I'm so pissed off...No amount of reasoning will appease them ..They are effectively trying to bully me into verifying...and i just don't want to.
I don't trust their security . Not after that incident a year or so ago. And that was just user accounts and passwords!!!..
It would be just Great to have my actual name and address and bank details plastered all over an internet forum!!!
 
I'm not shonky in any way, I just want to enjoy the freedom of anonymity.
For me one of the most attractive features of trading  BITCOIN "was" the lack of a centralized control.

Well that didn't last long did it !!! Sad
159  Economy / Economics / Re: The 2040 problem on: June 05, 2011, 08:44:12 AM

You have. The way I understand it, the Bitcoin algorithm always seeks to have 10 6 blocks an hour solved.1 If everyone were to stop mining tomorrow, the difficulty would eventually plummet.

Well thanks for setting me straight Smiley ...That certainly makes a difference then !!
160  Economy / Economics / Re: The 2040 problem on: June 05, 2011, 01:17:14 AM
ki....

No hostility here ...just confusion!!

I might have it wrong ....but the way i understand the machinations of the Bitcoin algorithm, is that the difficulty ( to solve a block ...producing 50 bit coins)  increases periodically.
 
The points at which this will occur can be calculated roughly .. These thresholds are affected  ( to a certain degree )by the number of people who are (or have been...past tense) mining ...or the 'Hash rate'  of the network computing power combined.

The higher the hash rate the ...faster the network approaches  a " difficulty increase" threshold.
 
I think where your argument comes unstuck is in the assumption that difficulty will decrease if hash rate decrease. and as i understand it ...It doesn't

Lets say everyone stops mining simultaneously ...thus reducing the overall "hash" rate of the network to 0 ...the difficulty to "solve a block" ...won't reduce. It will remain static at that point .

If one person re- starts mining the hash rate would be equal to whatever the hash rate of his personal setup was able to achieve....but the difficulty to solve a block would be that same as it was when thousands of people were mining .The difficulty is the same for everyone. It will only increase .It does not decrease.

So I fail to understand how the network security is then  compromised because less people are utilizing it

Maybe i've missed something and you can set me straight ...If so please feel free to explain it to me  Smiley
