Sure, send me a PM with the public key when you are ready.

Yes, when the prefix is that long its the main reason for a long time / high price. There are some other factors that are a little more complex, e.g.

111111 has a 50% chance after 7.4 hours
1abcde has a 50% chance after 10 minutes

and 1Tdefghij is 23 times more difficult than 1Qdefghij (also see #2)

1Fruits (exact case) would be 0.0002 btc.

Because its too long. Even without exact case the estimate is ~450 years for a 50% chance.

There was an import function on the old blockchain.info, I dont know if its still possible with the new version. From what I read people mostly have problems exporting private keys. I dont have access to one of the new wallet version though.

AFAIK ping spikes are rarely DoS attacks, but more likely bitcoin itself. When a new block is found and send to 30+ other nodes you quickly saturate a typical home connections bandwidth. Local QoS might help you lessen the impact. You may also want to check whether you are connected to a payment providers or large online wallets node. I had one of them blast me with 3000+ TX every 30 minutes for a while. Though it was a DoS at first as well. Id just turn the node off(line) for gaming. You wouldnt keep a torrent client running either.

IIRC one of the devs said that core tends to interfere with streams as well and that they are looking into possible solutions so spread out the bandwidth usage over time. I think its called thin blocks as a concept and is based on an older O(1) block propagation proposal.

oh, oder Theater. War doch ne Theaterwaffe... Natürlich können sich da Menschen absurde Zusammenhänge ausdenken und nach Verboten rufen. Die Frage ist was bringt es sich darüber vorher den Kopf zu zerbrechen? Ich halte das für unnötig.

You can add a password with bitcoin core, same for extracting private keys. IMHO pywallet still has its uses, but only in a few corner cases as most of the functions it used to provide are no build into bitcoin core.

With exact case 0.0002 btc.

There are different sources for this:

Which of those are filled with ads I cant tell, my adblocker/no java script combo works pretty well most of the time.

If the TX is confirmed its not a problem with your wallet, but with the "site". Where did you send the coins to?

You have a PM, will not list you in the 2nd post.

Keep reporting, you will get the hang of it. I think the forum is in a better state than it appears to be. Often (I assume this hasnt changed recently) spammers are just banned, but their posts not removed. Thus the spam stays and makes it look like it wasnt handled, but it was. Just not removed.

Inline picture for simplicity:



How many inputs do you use? Its hidden in the picture, but from the message I assume its too many. You might have to limit yourself to ~2000 inputs at a time.

Thats a very borderline scenario. Its good practise to always check signatures and hashes, but doing so now is not helping the cause. If you asssume a system is compromised you shouldnt trust it anyway.


You would be suprised how many high ranked members have no idea what they are talking about. If knightdk is at it OP is in good hands though. Same goes for advice from cr1776.

Many campaigns have a rule against that as well. Its not easy for them to spot, but you might get denied payment over all accounts if they catch you. IIRC it also happened that users on default trust left a negative rating for this as its deceiving and untrustworthy.

No, its actually better (for a smaller size in byte) to combine payments. Outputs (the coins you send) are smaller than inputs (they coins you use), because of the signture(s) you have to provide for the inputs

Wasnt it once per hour anyway? Didnt store a picture of my 24 hour graph and its hard to say on the 30day one.

Id say roughly none.


Odd indeed. Unless you have a new IP and they used to target you.

A VPS will not help you unless you can get one with a meaty GPU. A CPU will take ages to find a decent address, while it will only take hours on a GPU. E.g. 1test23 would take my GPU (GTX 970) ~5 hours for a 50% chance, while my CPU (4 core i5) would take over 10 days for the same chance to find a fitting private key. Split vanity does not make this slower. I have a step by step for it in my sales thread here[1]. Let me know if I can help you with it. This can also mean help you set something up so you can search yourself, just not on android.


Its not safe to do that as someone else knows your private key. They also ask a very high price for what they offer, well unless you take a free address.


I used to mine for them, not sure if anyone is still active. Its worth a shot though as you dictate the price and its split key vanity as well, so there are no risks.

Internal transactions are very likely done "off-chain" thus its nothing more than changing two database entries and maybe add one for logging. These should cost as little as a post in this thread, probably even less. Many online wallets or services all internal transactions without fee (think tipping in casinos or wallets like xapo). It helps attract costumers and its not their main source of income (bets, ads, profiles, external fees).

Electrum sometimes does not update its data from the server, not sure why but restarting it usually fixes it. Its not that there were 1151 blocks found in quick succession, but that your wallet was out of sync for almost 8 days.
