Well I guess he is happy now. Time he spent mining (from 2012 to 2014) earned him a lot more than few thousands of dollars that he is fined with that servers, especially since that was not time of ASIC miners (first was here in 2015)
Just FYI, the Avalon ASICs arrived in early 2013, so for most of 2013 and 2014 he was competing with the ASICs. They arrived within a few months of the Nov 2012 halving. |

Bitcoin Core Dev’s Blocksize Reduction Proposal Draws Ire from ViaBTC FounderHaipo Yang, ViaBTC’s founder and former employee at the Chinese internet giant Tencent, expressed strong criticism in a brief interview with CCN towards Luke-Jr, a Bitcoin Core developer and Blockstream contractor, regarding his proposal to reduce the blocksize to 300kb or, alternatively, for the network to wait another 7 years before an increase of the current 1MB transaction capacity. Yang says:
“If we change the block limit to 300KB now, the bitcoin system will crash. He, as the core developer of Bitcoin, [is] very irresponsible to do this.”
Luke-jr did not respond to our requests for comments in time for publishing.
Yang further stated that Bitcoin Unlimited is winning and despite a recent bug that created a forked bigger than 1MB block, ViaBTC will continue to support BU as “every software has Bug. We have bug too and lost some money.”https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-core-devs-blocksize-reduction-proposal-draws-ire-viabtc-founder/ BU as “every software has Bug. We have bug too and lost some money.”
I am just guessing, but if he can't even get basic English right, I'm not surprised they have bugs. |

Thanks! It was Electrum. Now I can retire on the $8 he sent me.  Thought it might be. Hopefully by "retire" you mean spend or move to a new address 😀 |

Short summary: socialists hate letting people have freedom with their own lives and money. |

Avoidance is legal and recommended. Evasion is illegal and not.
A flat tax or something like the Fair tax would remove these loopholes. And remember who put the loopholes in there - the same people who then demagogue about them, politicians.

Do you get the same error when building from the GitHub repo? I didn't see in the quotations above, but which version of bitcoin is in the debian testing repo?

Hi,
Is there any way that I can get my previous wallet private key?
Thanks
Yes, restore a backup of your wallet and export it. If you don't have a backup and can't get recover it from your hard drive (e.g. by scanning the drive etc), then no one here can recover it. If you just recently formatted your drive shorena's advice should be followed. |

Also, what command did you run to get that error? or was that just in building it.
If it was in the build, I think the wallet first creates the "debug.log" if you could navigate to that (in the "bitcoin" directory and can post it here that might add a greater insight).
tried with sudo and su didnt work also does the debug.log ever go by a different name? as i cannot find a file by that name This looks like an error created during compiling. The debug.log is not created until the software is compiled and then run. What commands have you done to get to this? What software are you building? What version of that software? cross compile on ubuntu linux with mxe, i managed to compile one wallet and am trying a different one now and it is qt4 Which different wallet is this? What command did you use to do so? |

If a person has millions of Bitcoin and he die one day and no body can hack his Bitcoin wallet than what will happen with those Bitcoin? Considering this situation is this possible that Bitcoin will not exists for use in the world any day since limited numbers of Bitcoin can be generated?
What is your thought on this?
The only person (or group of persons) who potentially has even close to one million bitcoins is Satoshi, so a person having "millions [plural] of Bitcoin" as of now is impossible. Someone could purchase one million bitcoins, but that would disturb the market so much that by the end they might have paid many 10s of billions of US dollars for them, but it is of course possible. As far as what happens if he were to die, did he have his private keys somewhere others could access it/them? If so, someone else (his heirs) can access them. If not, then they are lost, probably forever*. * I say 'probably' because we don't know how the private keys were generated. Perhaps the PRNG was bad, he used a brain wallet and someone discovers it or something else. |

When you're mining these addresses are you running a lottery that produces random addresses? How many "incorrect" addresses are you going through before you'd hit on the one you want?
What site offers this?

i personally know that there are many wallet options that do not need the full ledge. i had them download a full chain wallet because they are students and i wanted them to be able to take full advantage of all cli commands and such and not be dependent upon a gui. the thought just came to mind when i described the block chain comparing it to my checkbook. I thought to myself that i have a drawer with at least the last ten checkbook ledgers, they fill up, i replace it with a new one. i work with local businesses in various ways and when i talk about bitcoin i hear the gambit of excuses, complaints and other "reasons" why a certain person or business does not want to use it. as we move closer and closer to a more full acceptance of bitcoin, i constantly try to compare new technology advances with the complaints that hold people back. this was merely an attempt to get people thinking about possible changes in newer side coins or coins. I did not mean to offend anyone and i am far from expert in crypto and bitcoin.
You can probably use most of the functions that Bitcoin-cli has, if there is an SPV client that offers this. It is easy to cheat the wallet client if you don't have to prove that the blocks are branched out from the genesis block. Businesses should run a full node, to be safe. As long as bandwidth isn't too much of a problem, (100+GB for once) there is no issues since you can still prune it. Btw, changed my original post slightly. as far as the students, what i really want is for them to have an isolated coin network, full nodes and to learn to build the tx's from scratch, perform any wallet and/or mining related function from command line and fully understand. i only get a week of their time though. our society has a major issue with technology being too easy sometimes. software performing all the functions and when something goes wrong, they do not know how to fix it. if you use paypal and jack up your account, they will help you fix it. bitcoin, being decentralized, really needs for people to have at least some clue as to how to do something besides push a button. Maybe run on testnet then. Or even testnet in a box. Avoids the waiting etc. |

I have a question . If my mobile that i used for 2AF got lost or broken is there anyway to transfer the 2AF i have on it to a new phone?
What 2fa software were you using? Authy? Google Authenticator? Something else? (Btw, dev and tech seems like the wrong section). And what website is this for? |

In 2009 bitcoin hit the electronic currency world by surprise and later captured the attention of the masses and information technology companies. Coinidol.com investigates why most people are still too scared to use bitcoin as their main currency for day-to-day business. In Africa, Asia and South and Central America, there is widespread poverty brought about by underdevelopment and low levels of education. Bitcoin is a currency of the elite, those who can read and write and those who are connected to the internet which is lacking in most regions in these continents. You can read the full article here: https://coinidol.com/why-bitcoin-scares-society/I think I'd add to one portion: In Africa, Asia, and South and Central America there is widespread poverty brought about by a lack of the rule of law, socialism, communism, authoritarianism, and totalitarianism not to mention a group of wealth-hungry and power hungry people who are willing to destroy their countries to enrich and empower themselves via corruption, outright theft, inflation and policies only designed to retain power. All the while demagoguing the populace to blame someone else for the failures of centralized, state planned policies that stifle freedom and liberty. See Venezuela, Brazil, North Korea, Nigeria, Cuba and many others for examples of each.

is it normal that the balance is 0 ? or i have to wait for armory to download all the blockchain to see me real balance?
Since Armory depends on Bitcoin Core, it won't show the balance until it reaches the block where bitcoins were transferred to those addresses. However as onnz423 says above, if you can export the private (and perhaps public keys) from Armory, then you can import them elsewhere, such as Electrum, and go from there. |

You might try updating to 0.13.2 first and see if it is the same error - it seems as if you thought you had upgrade, but actually didn't:
>2017-01-15 00:21:14 Bitcoin version v0.12.1 (2016-04-11 13:01:43 +0200)
Scroll down farther. He's using 0.13.2. ... Ah, didn't see there were multiple days! Looks like 4GB should be okay. |
