What is the propoganda machine.


What is propoganda.

What is disingenuous.

Do I win anything? 

I've created a modification of Bitcoin core that is like getaddr.bitnodes.io, but is a full node. It records the ip address from an addr message and then connects to each node in the list. However, I have had some problems and need some help diagnosing the issues. The source is here: https://github.com/achow101/fully-connected-bitcoin.

I have three problems currently:
1) Every so often, about 20-ish hours, the node will abort and give some error about "Unable to Open the Database" (I will update this post with the exact error next time it happens).

2) When I run getnetworkinfo from bitcoin-cli, I get this:
 It should have reachable in ipv4 as true and localaddresses should have atleast one ip address.

3) I have this on Travis-CI with Bitcoin core's default travis.yml file. It always errors everytime Travis builds it, and I don't know why. The travis page is here: https://travis-ci.org/achow101/fully-connected-bitcoin

Help would be greatly appreciated for any of these three issues.

Also, the software is being run on two Ubuntu 15.04 VMs, one at home with 3 cores and 4 GB of RAM, the other on Google cloud with 2 cores and 7.5 GB RAM. I am building and running bitcoind from terminal.

If you don't have a backup, you can still retrieve your private keys. There are ways and tools that can recover data from dead hard drives, just google it and you will be able to find such things.

The stake means that this coin is a proof of stake coin. This means that he probably has minted coins and thus they are in the stake field.

Correct me if I'm wrong, since I don't know much about proof of stake, but wouldn't the coins in the stake field mean that they were coins that you minted from your stake in the network? If so, these coins need to mature, and you need to wait some time in order to spend them. I believe that this is similar to the 100 confirmations required for Bitcoin from a coinbase transaction to be spent.

You will need to have an external disk with more than 40 GB of storage. Then, you will need to install bitcoin core for either device. The device must be connected to the internet. Run bitcoin core and you've got yourself a full node on the network. Let it sync the entire blockchain before doing anything.

Both CHIP and the raspberry pi can be used to support the Bitcoin network. They both use some distro of linux. You may need to compile Bitcoin Core yourself however.

Also, I would not recommend using CHIP for a full node since it only has 512 MB of RAM. Bitcoin Core uses a lot of RAM, and 512 MB is definitely not enough.

You are allowed to have 8 maximum outbound connections, but can have an unlimited number of inbound connections. This can cause your total connections to go above 8.

It is a modification to the bitcoin protocol that increases the maximum block size from 1 MB to 20 MB. If the different clients do not update to this new version, then the blockchain could split (fork) into one chain that has 20 MB blocks and one that doesn't because other clients would reject the latest blocks. The idea is that the entire network can be on the 20 MB block blockchain and the blockchain thus forks from its current state.

Look up how to install the driver for your usb dongle in linux. There should be a program in the install disk to install the linux driver. If not, go to the usb dongle manufacturer's website and find the linux driver for it. Then, install the driver and reboot your computer. It should recognize that a wifi adapter is installed. If you open terminal and type
there should be something labeled wlan0 which is your wifi adapter. Then, find the network connections settings window and connect to your wifi network.

We will be able to help you more if you tell us the model of your wifi dongle.

The password is different from the seed. However, if you have the seed, you can recover the entire wallet. Just create a new wallet using your seed.

It is definitely safer than blockchain's wallet, but it is not the safest because you have to trust someone else to give you the right data. The safest desktop wallet in my opinion is Bitcoinn Armory.

You make an ass out of u and me.

I would like to try all three tasks. However, can you please use an escrow? Your current trust is negative, and this seems a little sketchy. Also, is there a way to discuss this through PM or email? I don't have a Skype and I am not inclined to have a voice chat with you.

Armory will work by itself even if armory goes out of business. It is completely standalone. If you back everything up you will still be able to retrieve your private keys from the wallet files and import them into another Armory installation or into another client.

Someone can also use a bot and manipulate the market, as with the Willy bot in Mt. Gox. This can really push the price upwards, and cause increased media attention and thus increased use and interest from the public.

I have not figured out how to do this with Bitcoin Core yet, but I have figured out how to do this for Bitcoin Armory, a secure client that I prefer. The guide below is for Bitcoin Armory, which I recommend for everyone.

I am not able to make a video tutorial, but I am posting this very detailed guide below.

1) login into Coinkite and create a new 2-of-3 multisig vault.
2) Create the first key using the "Generate Key" option
3) Create the key and copy the entire string under "HD Wallet" to notepad
4) Set your passphrase and Click "Upload to Coinkite"
5) Repeat Steps 2 - 4 for each key. Make sure that the keys are separated in notepad
6) Go to bip32.org
7) Click the "BIP32 Key" button and enter the first string that you copied into the "BIP32 Extended Key" box
8 ) Find "Deviation Path" and click the drop down arrow. Select "Simple: m/i"
9) Find "Public Key (Hex)" and copy everything inside the box to another notepad
10) Repeat steps 6 - 9 for each key that you copied from the "HD Wallet" field. Make sure you remember the order you entered them into Coinkite. This is VERY IMPORTANT
11) Open up Bitcoin Armory and select "Lockboxes (Multi-sig)" If you do not see this option, you might have to go to "User">"Expert" and restart Armory.
12) Click "Create Lockbox" Make sure that it is set to 2 - of - 3 and name your address.
13) Enter the first key that you copied into "Public Key #1" and give it a name. Do this for the rest of the keys. Make sure that you enter the keys IN THE SAME ORDER THAT YOU DID ON COINKITE.
13) Click "Save Lockbox" and then click "Done"
14) Click on the name of your address in the lockbox list and check that the address in bold in the "Fund" area is the same as the one in your Coinkite account. If it is, you can use the same address from Bitcoin Armory. If not, please PM me or reply to this thread.

Yup. If you read the note on blockchain with that transaction, they are saying that you have received a return on investment from their website. The idea is that you are tricked into thinking that the site will pay out and that you will earn money. However, it is probably a ponzi, and by going to their site, you may also get a virus or lose bitcoin because they got you to think that they were legit.

It is a part of an ad campaign probably run by some scammer.

I do own some bitcoin, but not that many. And of course, I accept donations, if you are willing to donate some.

Even easier, and more accurate:https://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions-per-block

What software is that? It seems that the incomplete block is causing an unhandled error, which will cause the program to terminate, and thus your miner stops hashing.
