Did you create the bitcoin.conf file? Hello! i'am currently using regtest but the following command: bitcoin-cli -regtest setgenerate true 101 doesn't work and i keep getting the error: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/bitcoin-cli/index.js:27 throw new Error('Coudn\'t found bitcoin.conf file, use --rpcuser=USER and --rpcpassword=PASS'); ^ Error: Coudn't found bitcoin.conf file, use --rpcuser=USER and --rpcpassword=PASS at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bitcoin-cli/index.js:27:11) at Module._compile (module.js:571:32) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:580:10) at Module.load (module.js:488:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:447:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:439:3) at Module.require (module.js:498:17) at require (internal/module.js:20:19) at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bitcoin-cli/bin/bitcoin-cli:5:1) at Module._compile (module.js:571:32) could anyone help me ? thank you

are we meant to test it on our local machines to debug and build scripts to use it? I've been trying to look everwhere online with no luck any help?
If you are talking about blockchain.info, this is the wrong section. If you are talking about bitcoin core, it doesn't need an API key. The former, my bad. What section? I would think the service section, I think you or a mod could move it. You might also ask their support section for a key for testing. Perhaps they have such keys.

Pro-Bitcoin Mulvaney Picked as Trump Budget ChiefAs President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks continue to be announced one-by-one, many digital currency enthusiasts have been searching for any signs that might indicate how the new administration will address cryptocurrency and blockchain concerns. The recent selection of Republican Representative Mick Mulvaney to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has already received applause from many in the Bitcoin community, since Mulvaney is a well-known proponent of the world's most well-known digital currency. https://dcebrief.com/pro-bitcoin-mulvaney-picked-as-trump-budget-chief/ They say this was "Posted on Dec 23, 2016" not January 1, 2017, so you may want to adjust the subject. Oops! I have been posting DCEbrief articles every few days and always used the date of posting on bitcointalk. Here is my excuse - instruction manual allergy... 😃 Just FYI, now it is: "Re: [2017-12-23] Pro-Bitcoin Mulvaney Picked as Trump Budget Chief" This is good news of course.

I am curious to read more about that article but I can't read and access. I see "Subscribe to read: " with several offer... How I can read for free? I think you just have to register - perhaps use mailinator.com if you don't want your regular one. I see only payment option for registered user and no one option for free It is hidden because they don't like it I'm sure: http://registration.ft.com/signup/register

Unlike fiat, bitcoin can be used in many ways. Typical msm BS.

I forgot about this thread. What a blast from the past.
I have a new regret. My wife just reminded me about the cheap boots I got her as a part of a party costume when I told her btc was over $1,000 again.
I used to talk this guy named Jeremy West on the forum, way back when, and he convinced me to use a service he started called Spendbitcoins. They sold Amazon gift cards for btc. I tried his service and bought a little gift card to buy my wife some cheap high top costume boots to wear at a party we were going to attend. She only wore them once. At today's exchange rate those flimsy cheap vinyl boots cost $7,800. FmyLife
I guess the lesson is to replace bitcoins if you spend them? 😀 At least that isn't as bad as the $20 million pizzas.

I'd disagree that Janet Yellen controls the Federal Reserve Otherwise, I'd agree with all the above (the fact that Janet is just a spokesperson is implicit in what cr1776 said anyway). I would agree with that too. She is the figurehead for the most part. :-)

The Central Bankers of the world don't seem to have learned their lessons. Capital controls in China, Demonetization in India, Inflation in Venezuela... Bitcoin looks poised to succeed even further.
In most cases, the central banks are operating under instructions from the politicians who want power over the populations of their countries instead of freedom. in most cases central banks control politicians its a much higher hierarchical structure than the goverments are but I agree the main idea is to keep the populace under control and keep the modern slavery system in check I'd disagree that Janet Yellen controls the politicians. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the same forces (whether people - subtle or overt- or misguided, immoral anti-liberty, authoritarian ideas) that control or guide the central banks and politicians want to keep people under their control. The same ideas have animated that crowd for centuries (probably millennia) and the goals are to control the people to keep power and wealth to themselves.

Anyway to have my computer attempt to sweep random addresses?
I'd like for my laptop to attempt to randomly sweep bitcoin addresses. How would I go about doing this?
Write some code to generate an address and private key and then if there is a balance there, create a transaction to send it to an address you control. Repeat. Unless you are exploiting flaws in an PRNG or poorly chosen brain wallets, it is pretty pointless though except for its educational value in learning how to do so.

Hi, i am new here, soo if someone already post something similar, please redirect me, thanks! I was thinking ... what should happen to the coins that have not suffered a transaction for a long time, especially the accounts lost or refuted by the users? Maybe you should consider making a new mining of these coins with each halving or given time frame, is that possible? The central bank's usually replace the coins from time to time, because usually some are destroyed over time ... maybe there will be some similar mechanism for bitcoin. There exist`s? Thanks This comes up every so often, but who says how long is too long? Perhaps Hal Finney will be unfrozen one hundred years in the future (see https://www.wired.com/2014/08/hal-finney/ and http://www.alcor.org/blog/hal-finney-becomes-alcors-128th-patient/ ) and he'll want to unfreeze some coins that he has in a brain wallet to pay to help acclimate himself to a world he didn't know. Or to pay for food. Or his care. Or his descendants. What gives anyone the right to decided that X number of years is "too long to save"? Why would anyone think it is okay to steal from someone else who has saved their coins whether they are Hal or someone else? Stealing is wrong and using the "central banks" do it argument is a good reason not to do it given the problems they have caused over the last 100 years. Something like this just penalizes people who save and makes people move their coins, subjecting them to risk. Doing this would create an alt-coin because there are many people who are opposed to things like this.

Banks always does this .i have seen my friends lose their money through and the banks would not have recovered their money till now and they are trying till now .dont loose hope and i am very sorry to hear it from u .
The Cyprus government and EU imposed this, you need to make sure that you are placing the blame where it belongs - politicians who want money and power and will do pretty much anything they can to get it. Look at Venezuela, North Korea, Brazil and many, many others who don't like freedom of capital and impose controls. And who want to use inflation to silently rob their people.

I meant Bitcore, not bitcoin core. It has an integrated API to check an address and all that stuff. you can always enable pruning to cut the block chain storage size down So, I'll keep checking transactions on supervised accounts like from 3 months from now? Can I use Bitcoin core with custom notifications? is it straightforward? Bitcore is nice because of it's API, but maybe bitcoin core doesn't need so much coding in orden to make those custom notifications Ok, never mind then. I had assumed you meant Bitcoin Core since it was in this section on bitcointalk. ;-) Anyway, I am not sure if you can run Bitcore with pruned mode or not to save disk space.

Hi,
I need to supervise some bitcoin addresses and I need to launch a custom event, maybe a custom sound for incoming transactions (unconfirmed sound and 2 confirmations sound) or sending an email.
I'm thinking about using Bitcore, but 8 GB RAM and more than 200 GB HDD for the blockchain doesn't look like a cheap way to go for such a simple task...a friend of mine suggested me to use electrum, but I'm not sure where to start or if it's possible to use electrum for such a thing. A VPS with 8 GB RAM and 200 GB of HDD is about 50$-140$ USD, and that's just way too much...
I'd really appreciate your advice and suggestions about this little project.
Thanks a lot
Presuming you meant Bitcoin Core, and not bitcore which is something different, you can always enable pruning to cut the block chain storage size down. (And btw, I've seen a vps similar to what you mentioned for less than $100/year. But $50-140/month is way too much.)

Wow, look at the size of that mouth. She could tea bag the shit out of you without even opening all the way.
Just look at her initials (per OP). A B J. Had to stop after she said all the money was making a bet and none were being used.

The file is 80 gig the last time I checked....i don't have enough space on my disk for it although I can connect another drive.
I wanted to transfer the wallet.dat to another client but it wasn't possible at the time. I would have tried a few....
Have I any more options rather than the big download?
Just export the keys and import into a lightweight wallet. (But keep a backup of the wallet.dat since it is small)

Does anybody know if the bitcoin developers are planning on improving security of bitcoin transactions using something that's not related to blockchain?
You can look at various proposals on GitHub and follow the dev list, but to really answer your question would require more details as to what you are specifically asking about and what part of bitcoin transactions need more security. Segwit helps with the malleability issues for example.
