With the blockchain.info label "bitcoin magic doubler" I'd be extremely surprised if they got confirmed.. (On mobile so couldn't dig deeper.)

Great segment there. This is nice to see that mainstream analysts are "getting it".
The reason why the mainstream analysts are getting it" is because they have studied the fundamental nature of bitcoin and one thing that I thought their have discovered is that bitcoin cannot be shut down by a country, company and individual. To me bitcoin is more value than gold because of that sigler nature. Agreed. It just took them a very long time to wake up and do so 😀 |

Hi, I'm stuck, don't know what to do and I need guidance and help from someone who understands what have happened! I have my bitcoin wallet on blockchain. I have my e-wallet with Neteller. I can put money in my e-wallet with bitcoin and have done so in the past successfully. The thing is that Neteller only accepts the bitcoin deposit if the receive the money within a specific time. If that time passes they will decline and the reason I guess must be because the $ value of bitcoin goes up and down. Please look at picture 1 where you can see that I now finally after 48 hours got my bitcoin transaction confirmed. However, Neteller has already declined the transaction long time ago since they didn't receive the money in the time period. So now, I have no money in my Neteller and no money in my blockchain wallet. How do I get my money back to my blockchain wallet?? Really need some help !! Thx https://i.imgur.com/zc93R5z.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/pm9ggkJ.pngAbout your only option is to talk to Neteller support. No one else can help you since they control the private key to the address you sent to. This should also probably be split off from here and get moved to the service discussion since it seems to be about blockchain.info (not "blockchain") and Neteller. |

God thinking about what the price was like in 2011 which was probably around the price of $1-30 USD per coin and what it is now really makes you disgusted on the amount of money that could've been made if you bought bitcoin instead of an XBOX or any other christmas gift that you wanted. Makes me really think about what I've been doing with my money for all this time.
isn't that the best financial advice: stop wasting your money on liabilities and start buying assets? You are right - that always applies. Even if you don't get the return that bitcoin has had since 2010/2011 (let alone 2009), assets over time are much preferred to liabilities. Your future depends on the choices you make now, so might as well make good ones. |

100k unconfirmed transactions and developers still not implemented segwit and lightning network.
Well if developers not implementing things we need for Bitcoin what can we do to confirm transations faster?
Should we run full node?
Full node helps other users to download blockchain and verify transactions but i never heard that it helps to confirm transactions faster
Should we run miner?
I am interested to run full node and miner but seems that more miners and full nodes won't help we need segwit and lightning network to be implemented faster and more nodes and miners won't help to confirm transactions faster?
SegWit IS implemented. About the only thing you can do, practically, is run a miner that does so. You and many other people. The miners are the current block on SegWit adoption. See, e.g.: http://data.bitcoinity.org/bitcoin/block_version/5y?c=block_version&r=week&t=aThere's no info that segwit implemented There is a lot of information showing that segwit is implemented all over the internet. E.g. if you take a look at GitHub: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/a49b4a75a1b671492e65eed17d6894d85ea5ebfd/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.13.1.mdYou can also use Google or Bing or ... to search for more references, but the code on GitHub shows the implementation. This link: http://data.bitcoinity.org/bitcoin/block_version/5y?c=block_version&r=week&t=awhich was included above is showing you segwit signaling from miners. Until the miners accept it, it will not be activated. Clearly the code is implemented, if you want to argue about that, there is no point in continuing to ask questions. In short, segwit not being implemented is incorrect, the developers have done so. Conversely, segwit is not activated yet, until a sufficient number of miners signal support. |

Is it true that all of the full hex private keys are 64 hex characters long?
I have a friend that wrote down a private key years ago on a piece of paper. Unfortunately, he was messy on a few spots, and there's a hole on one of the characters, etc. I have written a program that will spit out all the possible combinations, then computed the corresponding WIF & public addresses, and then check the address for activity and balance.
In this case, the original private key combinations are ranging from 61 to 65 characters long. It would be nice to narrow down the combinations if I can safely discard the non-64 length ones.
(The reason I'm having a hard time being sure, is because you would be surprised what little shows up in my searches. Almost all talk about private keys starts with either compressed or the Base58 WIF Key. What little talk there is about the hex private key often mention 65 characters. I believe that's because of the prefix character added for computation. Also, when using bitaddress.org page for testing, even though an error pops up saying a 61 or 65 character private key is invalid, it then goes ahead and shows the results of the public address. For the 61-63 character addresses, it seems to be prefixing zeros to make it 64 characters long. Not sure how he computed the 65 length ones)
Thank you for setting me straight!

Bitcoin has gained a massive amount of popularity since its creation in 2009. The currency that very few people took seriously has become one of the most attractive on the market and China has played a huge part in its growth. The country was responsible for almost 90% of global Bitcoin activity. In 2016, Bitcoin was the world‘s top performing currency as it was the year before that, but 2017 seems to be going differently. It was priced slightly over $1,000 in the first week of January. The cryptocurrency has been on a downward spiral, especially after the People’s Bank of China issued some cautionary statements regarding Bitcoin exchange eliding investors to wonder if China has lost its belief in the power of Bitcoin. Link: http://www.livebitcoinnews.com/fate-bitcoin-market-china/This is an odd statement given where the price is today. Likewise, depending on how you measure "activity" the 90% figure seems quite overstated.  |

One can only hope that there are a large number of the people of China who are smart enough to see this coming and have the means and ability to protect themselves.
They can (perhaps obviously) do this by buying things such as gold, platinum, and silver (and other precious metals), assets that are out of the country (which is clearly happening which why the PBOC is cracking down) and probably even more so bitcoin. The advantages of bitcoin being that it is much easier to take bitcoin over the border if you need to flee compared to the PMs. And conversely much easier to use bitcoin in the country if you need to do so, as compared to assets that are overseas.
This is the nature of central planning, it never works in the long run and the people who the central planners claim to be protecting - "the little people" - are the ones who pay the price while the central planners have reaped the rewards. It is criminal what economic devastation of this magnitude will do to many people there if it occurs. Venezuela writ large. Not to mention the ripple effects across the globe.

... Also, I love how the article calls for more KYC and even going as far as to cite OTC as a problem in some mythical la-la land.  I can't tell what the author is smoking and I definitely don't want any. If anything, we should be encouraging more peer-to-peer trading and less centralised exchange, not less P2P trading and more centralised exchange, like the article suggests. It's completely ass-backwards. Have to agree here. The issue isn't decentralization, the issue is centralization. Most notably centralized control by the government. |

I am curious what else is running on the system. In my experience that error is from the Linux kernel killing a process because the system is low on memory as a whole. Then the out of memory killer picks a process to kill based on various variables rolled into a score - hence your score 33.
Is something else on the machine memory and swap intensive? If so, it may be that process that is causing the issue and bitcoin just happens to be the process that the OOM killer is picking based on its heuristics to kill.
Obviously much of this is a guess without more info.

nice clickbait. i'll believe it when it see it. most of these people involved may be fractious assholes, but they're also pragmatic and greedy. everyone on both sides knows that bitcoin might take a fatal hit if it ended up happening.
I would have to agree. A nearly even (49/51 etc) fork is very unlikely. If in the extremely unlikely event one was to occur, it would be pretty lopsided and likely the lower hash fork would lose hashpower extremely quickly as the rational choice would be to dump the low hashpower fork. The value in bitcoin is such - as compared to an alt - that running the losing fork would quickly be a low value (lost value even) proposition. |

The Dutch pirate party is demanding the Dutch Government allow every citizen to choose the kind of currency they want to use, including when paying for state services. The Dutch pirate party is one of the over 40 pirate parties worldwide. The pirate party is a community of youth who want free sharing of information and culture on the internet. Copyrighted material is not excluded from the materials available for free download on the Piratebay.org, a site that follows the ideologies of the pirate parties. Bitcoin enables the transfer of funds anonymously, which allows the maintenance of these pirate parties and hosting the Piratebay.org website. You can read the full article here: https://coinidol.com/dutch-pirate-party-negative-side-of-bitcoin/Could as well be titled: "The Negative Side of the Euro". The dollar, yen etc since any of them can be used. Pretty junky article/title. |

Yes thats my problem. Thank you for your response, I'm very appreciate that. My OS is Window 10. Now I know the name of my problem so that I could search for solving it. Thank you again. You'll want to run an antivirus. You might even consider booting into Linux (e.g. Tails) and running the scan from there. Whatever you do, if you have one, you may have more, so be careful storing value on that machine until you've scanned it or better yet, reinstalled the OS. |

Yeah, bitcoin needs their regulation to succeed like you need a hole in your head.
A central bank backed crypto currency might as well be PayPal, the dollar or euro. They just don't like freedom and want to control people by controlling the currency as their statement about monetary policy shows.

Not sure where you live, but in US it only matters (somewhat) if your estate is above 5.45 mil (if you are married, then 2X5.45 mil). In US, only 2 people out of 1000 qualified for an estate tax. on the other hand, those with >10mil already know what to do: trust funds, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estate_tax_in_the_United_StatesSo if the minority is small enough, then it is justified?  😀 |

And, to clarify, do you mean "hack the bitcoin private key" or brute force a password the is locking the wallet? Important distinction.
Well what do you think it is? Of course it's cracking the password. Have you ever heard of anyone cracking a private key? I haven't. Being a member since 2011 you should understand these noob mistakes and ignore them. Clearly private keys are impossible (with some exceptions) to crack. But, many new people are asking about cracking the private key and it is important to know the nature of the question before people waste time answering it. If you want to ignore the details, feel free, I don't. |
