Key scrambler: useless because the attacker can read the key from bitcoin-qt process's memory.

You seem to assume that transforming money into working software is easy and frictionless. It just isn't, managing an IT project is a full-time job.
I've been a professional software developer for almost 10 years, I have a pretty decent idea of what it takes to run a site using someone else's forum software. ...right. Anyways, theymos is asking SMF for an exception so the forum's modifications can be audited. so you can audit with to your heart's content. |

So this random object value is used for ALL of the wallets when creating them in bulk. Surely the secureRandom should be recreated for each wallet?
because reusing it doesn't decrease the entropy of resulting wallets. My biggest concern at bitaddress.org is the use of external javascript files. This gives the host of those files the possibility to execute any javascript on the page. They could easily insert a function that sends the private keys to a third party website. If that's done only 1 of 10 times, it's hard to get caught.
it does? the page is a single html file with no other dependencies.
Yeah - all I wanted to do was modify the code a bit to add some of my own extra randomness to it for my sanity... But this has put me off completely now! I just want to create a really secure paper wallet where I don't need to trust somebody... Any ideas?
why don't you multiple the output random number by the current time code. that'll add an extra layer of entropy better idea: xor the output random number by the current time code. multiplying will add a bias toward bigger numbers. |

1. I myself have warned several members of Bitcoin Talk as well as Staff of Bitcoin Talk about TradeFortress and Inputs.io
2. He didn't disclose a security flaw considering Bitcoin Talk is still not secure and alot of that has to do with not upgrading the forum software after being paid countless amounts of Bitcoins to do so by now
3. I'm not a maytr I just don't take too kindly to that fact theymos openly supports every scammer on Bitcoin Talk from pirateat40 to Zhou Tong
4. It doesn't matter if the ads were paid for by TradeFortress all he had to do was not accept them and actually have some dignity and respect for himself
5. I've warned how Kluge is a troll , a shill and absolutely no one should respect him for the things he has done and the scams he still hasn't paid back for
6. It's not guilt my association It's guilt by factual definition
1) Congrats, I'd be willing to bet there has been a warning against every single Bitcoin business ever, including those with good reputations, so I'm shocked that Theymos didn't decide to banish Tradefortress based on your opinion which turned out correct. 2) Tradefortress did disclose forum security issues, which is how he got Theymos' trust. Just because there were additional issues doesn't mean that he didnt. 3) Theymos openly supports many many people, some of them turn out to be scammers, once he masters future telling, I'm sure he will let us know. 4) Again, why would Theymos refuse advertising to someone who would scam in the future 5) You and Kluge have settled everything, so no need to get into that. 6) By your definition of guilt by factual definition, you should also add the 75 pages of people who were paid to advertise inputs.io as well. Assuming Tradefortress is a scammer, how is it you can blame people who had affiliation prior to the scam? If Tradefortress had scammed people, and people still continued to support him, I could see a point there, but how exactly was it that Theymos, and those that were advertising for Tradefortress could see the future and knew that they were helping a scammer? Are all of the inputs.io users scammers as well? What if they were happy with the service and recommended it to friends? For the record, I didn't have an inputs.io wallet, so I've got very little interest other than the scam case itself invested in the situation, I'm just really failing to see your logic in throwing the blame around. To me it looks like either A) Tradefortress actually got hacked, and he is to blame as well as the hacker, or B) He didn't get hacked, stole the coins, and is solely to blame. Ohh and SaltySpitoon you have absolutely nothing to say about scams as you owe a ton of money so go do us a favor and pay it k thx bai...

I tried opening my wallet.dat file without having qt client running, but when I browse the files to open it with the qt client it doesnt add it to the list of programs to use.
you can't open bitcoin wallets as a file. you must place it in bitcoin-qt's data directory. |

*MAJOR UPDATE* I fully expect to be banned for this but I feel wrong not disclosing this information.
nothing adds legitimacy like a declaration of being a martyr. theymos on behalf of Bitcoin Talk openly promoted Inputs.io through banner ads and Donations
those ads were bought by tradefortress. also, donors/VIPs are entitled to one ad slot, see: https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adinfoeven after being warned by the community several times that Inputs.io was highly unsecure
I would agree that inputs.io was as insecure as any other web wallet, but I have not seen any posts warning theymos that it was "highly unsecure". to top it off he also gave him Default Trust allowing TradeFortress to have a Green Positive Rating regardless of any negative ratings issued.
he was given green positive trust because he "Responsibly disclosed forum security flaws". To top it off other Moderators and Staff are to blame as they have a direct link to Banner Ads and revenue affiliated with Bitcoin Talk but because they had no choice whether or not theymos chose to have affiliation with TradeFortress I am not listing them as outright Scammers.
guilt by association Kluge on the other hand has yet to remove his Inputs.io signature and is still openly promoting TradeFortress and Inputs.io. A significant amount of other Donators and Shills are posting nothing but compliments for TradeFortress and refuse to stop promoting the site which leads me to believe they are taking a sigificant cut of this "hack" (The one TradeFortress staged)
It's funny how you start digging up everyone and everything pro-tradefortress and start blaming them, but you didn't raise any complaints before it occurred. |

So to answer the last part of my question I did a little experimentation myself. It seems if I copy just the block subfolder (including blocks/index) it still takes ages to start up, well at least an hour, I lost patience after that. But if I copy blocks/ and chainstate/ it starts up reasonably fast. Just a few minutes.
So I guess that's what I'd do if this ever comes up. No one can think of any problem with sharing the chainstate folder, right?
yes, totally safe |

Today in the blink of an eye I was made into a scammer and my trust level downgraded to-5 for what?

Hi,
I've got a server with debian oldstable I7-2ksomething and a 100Mbit connection.
I'm thinking about running a bitcoin node on this server to support the network. Is it complicated to install the demon? I've noticed there is only a package in testing. With that connection I could it set to accept more than 8 conections, right? How much traffic should I expect per connection?
Yes, you can support much more than 8 connections. Traffic per connection varies because one peer may be downloading blocks whereas another may only be relaying transactions. in the latter case, it's likely a few mb a day. |

I just found an old wallet on a recovered crashed drive from 2012 with almost 20BTC worth of unconfirmed satoshidice transactions. I looked them up in blockchain and there's no record of them having occurred, with the client's blockchain fully updated
hate the break it to you: the 20 BTC in your wallet is undependable. the transactions have not confirmed since 2012 and are not in any client's transaction list. unless they're in a block, you can't spend them. |

Dark Wallet needs $50k to finish its development and testing Why do they need $50k for that? are they hiring a software firm? Are they using the money to compensate themselves for the work they put in? Their "dark wallet" is a browser plugin, so it's probably connecting to a third party server. Unless the plugin directly connects to the bitcoin network, it's far less secure and anonymous than the satoshi client. A quick skim of their indiegogo page shows more idealism and buzzwords than any actual planning. This is mirrored by the massive gap between what they want for bitcoin (anonymity, resistance to censorship, anti corporation/goverment), and what they've done (browser plugin wallet). tl;dr: a group with more ideals than work wants money More ideals than work? That's unfair. Amir and his team have borne quite a bit of impressive fruit over the years. Here is a small sampling of it: libbitcoin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=30646.0;allsx wallet: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291576.0coinjoin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=279249.msg3016952#msg3016952what you have planned: browser plugin wallet with coin mixing. What you have on your indegogo page: We are interested in scaling up the Bitcoin infrastructure in an intentionally subversive and empowering direction- taking Bitcoin just where it has been threatening to go. Towards an integrity of values, and a neutrality promoted by anonymity and a resistance to censorship. Software can stand for something.
[...]
Bitcoin is the next battle ground in the fight against supranational political domination. Nation states harrass their governed populations with parades of open lies, and dedicate their time to the modern statist paradigm: developing emergency powers and containing the growth of new technologies. Digital anonymity and freedom of financial speech are some of the last tools left in the dwindling garrisons of Liberty.
We are by turns threatened and mocked by neoliberal social engineers and their Boomer bagmen. We face an "architecture of oppression." Tell me how your "dark wallet" is going to solve those problems, or is that just rhetoric? If you use your imagination I'm sure you can see that these components not only lead credibility to the project, but paint a clear picture of where it actually begins. Still, the unfortunately reality is that software development takes time -- a lot of time. If the developer(s) in question are not independently wealthy and wish to focus on the work without distraction, that time costs money. $50K seems conservative to us for such an ambitious project. In other words, you're using the indegogo/bitcoin funds to pay yourselves. |

Dark Wallet is an "Easy-To-Install plug-in that sits discreetly on users' chrome and firefox browsers how is a browser plugin discrete at all? it's as discrete as a browser bookmark to a (porn) site. usage: The words discrete and discreet are pronounced in the same way and share the same origin but they do not mean the same thing. Discrete means ‘separate,’ as in a finite number of discrete categories, while discreet means ‘careful and circumspect,’ as in you can rely on him to be discreet . in this case, i don't see how a browser plugin is more "discrete"(separate) than any other app. |
