You should be able to use the same terminal.  Just kick off bitcoind so that it will run in the background and your shell will give you the prompt back.  Ie, run:


Instead of just

More specifically, you have someone on your trust list who gave you positive feedback and that person is not on your buddy's list.  Only feedback from people on your list shows up by "default" and influences the color you see in the marketplace sections.

For sure, if you want to start a new thread and manage it, I'll close this one and link to your new thread.  I just don't have enough time or info to properly manage such a thread myself.

We chatted a bit in PM, but it might be helpful to others to put this here.  Given the priv key in hex, you should be able to convert it to all the other formats with the 'ku'  program which is part of pycoin:

I went through the same process you did some time ago, exporting a particular address from a wallet backup and needing the WIF in order to use it elsewhere.

I replied in that thread.  In the future, if you're just trying to get my attention, maybe PM instead of bumping a thread.

I'm not sure if I understand correctly.  Is it the case that you have the public/private key pair for the addy you want?  And that your issue is just converting the format to WIF?  If so, it's not that hard, I can probably help you.  What format are the keys in now (hex, binary, decimal)?

I have a python script which takes a private key as input and produces the bitcoin addresses and WIF for the priv keys for that private key.

Yah, I didn't have time to keep up with it.  And, since I only have GNU/Linux and basically there's not really any love for me, I have a hard time testing the sites that do exist.  I'd happily hand this thread over to someone more motivated if such a person comes along.

It makes sense that if you have no use for it then the price is clearly to high for you.  But the way markets work is that you're not the only one around so ...

Anyway, it seems like if everyone felt like you then you'd be right.  However, this doesn't seem to be the case.

I was playing yesterday and noticed a but in the statistics view.  Specifically the win/loss row said "loss" even when I was actually ahead.  What's more, when I won money, the "loss" increased, when I lost money the "loss" increased.  This did not affect my balance, I just noticed that the win/loss statistic seems broken.

Publically, I can only provide anecdotal evidence.  Basically, you have to look at QS typical attack pattern.  He's done it now to several people on this forum.  When he gets obsessed with someone and decides to go after them, he first attacks with an alt.  He used to use his more higher rank alts "Panthers52" and "ACCTSeller", but these were outed.  So in the last few iterations (his attack threads against dooglus, for example), he uses a newbie account.  You'll see this newbie will open up a thread of accusations, usually with an outlandish tone and little discussion.  Somewhere on the first page, QS will show up with his main account and and more or less take over the thread.  He usually switches back to the newbie alt at various times in the thread in order to keep it bumped.  So, basically, this pair of Lauda attack threads by "gorgon666" fits QS MO perfectly.

Privately, some folks have noticed a certain "signature" that's in the posts of QS and all of his alts.  We haven't found any non QS accounts that have this feature.  We first noticed it when he was attacking me with ACCTSeller, Funfunnyfan, Panthers52 and Quickseller.  The thing is this, because QS still does this kinda stuff, using armies of sockpuppet accounts to try to smear someone, it's more valuable to me to keep this telltale sign a secret, since it keeps proving useful in finding his new attack alts.  If you weren't aware, Newtons1 and gorgon666 seem to be his latest attack accounts.  I'm sure he has others though.

Correction, they're paying for signature space in my posts, no matter what I write.  I'm done helping you derail another thread with your fixation.  This thread is about SWC, hopefully you can get back on topic soon.

That might require a revision of the definition of "earn".  Lol.


This is pretty much what the OP wants.  Look for actual work that can get paid in bitcoin.  Anything else is just dreaming, IMO.

Maybe nearly as good, the OP and Quickseller are the same guy, so he's literally just discussing with himself on most of the first few pages.

Don't need a link.  I already read them.  From what I read I saw them as starting off rather incompetent and becoming better and better, meanwhile the trolling of them has gotten louder and louder.  Anyway, I hope you know something about crowd mentalities and mob justice.  I'm working with them based on my own experience with them and what I've read.  Anyway, back on topic, when is SWC going to get a working client?

Telera might not know you're Scorp.  I don't think supa ever actually had any funds or servers for ddos, he did have plenty of threats tho.

And I think you are stupid for not knowing that DT only counts for those who include them on their trust list.

Just kidding, I know you are not stupid.  Nevertheless, it's important to teach people the correct usage of the trust system.  Default trust is on your list be default so that there's no empty trust list on new accounts, users should put who they actually trust on there as soon as they have some experience with the forum.

Since the OP is looking for education, RIPEMD160, SHA256 are hash functions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

ECDSA is an algorithm for digital signatures, one aspect of assymetric key cryptography: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

Good luck!

Next thing you know we're going to have bitcoin kabbala people who read the numerology of the market and the hidden messages therein.  Not my cup of tea but I guess it means that this is a thriving and diverse community.

I didn't realize that the key range doesn't go from 0x1 to 0xFFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF.

Close but incorrect.  I am promoting them because they're paying for my signature space.  However, I wouldn't sell that space to just anyone.  Fact of the matter is that their software (while certainly not great) is working better than SWC at the moment.  The other fact of the matter is that I'm not convinced by your constant trolling of them.  From what I've seen, they're really just looking better and better the more you are throwing crap at them and they're having to learn how to deal with it. 

Anywhoo, it's my sincere hope that SWC gets a working client for non-windoze users sometime.  But I'm really less hopeful that that will ever happen than I used to be.
