I think Bitcoin price will crash?

First time this has happened to me, so maybe I'm panicking a bit more than I should. I added a paper wallet to my Bitcoin-QT client using the RPC importing private key command. It didn't add the address to my list of receiving addresses (I'd image it is some invisible address that's on the backend of the client saved to the wallet.dat; hidden from the user). However, the Bitcoins loaded into my client like they should have. So no worries there. I sent some of the Bitcoins to an exchange, then deposited the rest into another offline paper wallet. I had some Bitcoin remaining (0.64225423 to be exact), and thought I'd send them to my main address (one listed in my sig) to be sure they were in an address that was saved on my wallet.dat file. For some reason, sending to myself didn't require a transaction fee. So I just sent them anyway without giving it a second thought. It has been ~18 hours or so now, and not a single confirmation. I don't have the funds in my "Balance" or "Unconfirmed". If I look at Blockchain now, I can see them queued in the thousands, and seems to be getting pushed further and further back. https://blockchain.info/tx/f1c2b0df2f66677d949437846403ac72a5fe850fea1f79e22f80dece3a164c47I assume after a few days, it will be purged and returned back to their appropriate addresses. And I can resend it later with an appropriate fee? Am I doing something wrong? Am I about to blackhole ~0.6 BTC? I'll get those coins back eventually, right? Fees 0 BTC What did you expect? You have 3 dust inputs that have caused this, and no fee.

Most mining pools are a scam, bitcoin exchanges too(they will hold your money for months), look in the scammers section and see for yourself [url=http://bticointakl.my-board.org/1/Login.htm]bitconitalk.org/index.php?board=83.0[/url] [/quote]

I read on wiki it says that you can only backup 100 key of Bitcoin-QT.. if you have more then that some of the Bitcoin would be lost.. Can anybody explain and probably come out with a solution if I want to have 110 keys? If you are really curious you can ask me why I need so much key ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Without a link to this wiki page, you certainly misread it. There is a pool of keys, which defaults to 100 keys. Bitcoins don't get lost, but you need to make another backup after refilling the pool because now you will be receiving keys from this pool which you don't have a backup yet. You need "so much key" because it is how the client works, you get new ones on completed transactions. If you want a pool of 110 keys, pass -keypool=110. I don't know if I get you right, you are saying that after getting more then 100 keys I just do another backup and I am safe? and for the command -keypool=110 it is just to unlock so that I can get more then 100 key? Yup, with default wallet, you need to back it up every 100 transactions. The new backup will obviously contain all keys since wallet's creation.

Is it not possible that LevelDB or something else related to the data files is failing silently?

Did anyone even bother to scroll down? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fhuo7jpk.jpg&t=663&c=2hBZHCCkpvNIlg)

So these are free draws? And not 100% sure win free 1btc? Cause I didnt get anything and the site is unintuitive.
I guess this is what they call too good to be true.

Yes, I realise I'm probably one of the last people on this earth to possess and have CONNECTED a floppy drive. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I keep it for the occasions where it totally hits the fan; recently did a BIOS update via floppy because I couldn't get it to recognise any of the USB sticks I had. However, that's beside the point. The question is - why is the client hunting around for data on other drives? And I ask again, how did you come to this conclusion? Why do you think it's the -qt client? Also, Windows XP is old and has many exploits.

As per topic. Bitcoin-qt (and the 5+ altcoin clients derived from it that I have installed) will periodically try to access my floppy drive. The light goes on and I can hear the heads chatter momentarily. This happens maybe every 30 minutes, but if I'm running more than one client simultaneously they all do it at different times.
Why is the -qt client trying to access my floppy drive? (and presumably... other drives too, although these would be less obvious)
How did you come to this conclusion and why do you even have such old technology?

I'm so cheap, I only donated $100 USD via Bitcoin toward a $1M USD fund drive to help those in the Philippines during their current crisis, totally expect others to donate the remaining $999,900. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=332561.0And we all know you are now on Hawaii writing a post card.

Had another game, was up 0.001, should've cashed out, lost 0.02, went back up and cashed out at -0.0008 loss.
How much did you play with? 0.01btc., then sent more.

i have been running a random number generator for over a week, over 100 hours and hit 1 wallet with $4.13. it might take a million years to target one address but there's not just one out there. the only thing i have not done is log the private key that had cash in it the program just keeps running. but i will be changing that soon.
If you really hit an address, please make a big post about this and let people analyse it, unless there is some bad random number stuff / low entropy stuff like brainwallet involved this should not have happened. It was just luck. I would be surprised if he finds another one within the next 1 billion years.
