I'm on Mac and it is taking forever and a half for me to synchronize with the network to get the updated blocks. Downloaded the bootstrap.dat to have it speed up but do not see the folder where everyone says place it.
Library/ Applications/ Bitcoin. No Bitcoin folder which is odd. I would use a different wallet, but there is some currently being transfered. If it's possible to obtain another wallet and redirect the transfer please let me know.
If not do you know of a way around not having a directory? I've used the spotlight search for some of the key words but nothing comes up. Eating food with no ingredients
Bootstrap.dat will slow it down since version 0.10.0 so don't use it. Whomever is saying to use it is giving bad advice. If you have bitcoin core running you can export the private keys and import into a lite wallet, then you don't need the full block chain. |

When I open any app, and click import, it only shows me MY ADDRESS... It then wants me to go to the OTHER WALLET WHERE THE MONEY IS KEPT, and SEND it from that wallet.
The problem. It's not on a wallet. Lets say the website is called marketplace.com. I bought some stuff from marketplace.com and paid $14,000. Well, they dont ship to USA so they refunded it. All I have is the private key. There is not built-in app on that website. There is no wallet. There is no interface. All I literally have is a bitcoin address.
When I try to do what you say, it doesn't let me type in an address. I can request a payment from someone, but still that requires them to have a wallet and send money to me. All I have in a private key. Nothing else.
If you have the privatte key, just import it. What program are you using? |

hi guys where you invest, maybe I can follow you?  This is off-topic and you should move this to the right section. This section is for "Technical discussion about Satoshi's Bitcoin client and the Bitcoin network in general. No third-party sites/clients, bug reports that do not require much discussion (use github), or support requests." I would like to inquire about investing in bitcoin and altcoin! Yes, you had said that at first. The " Development & Technical Discussion" is not the section for it though. |

Honestly you dont need any mentor here just go in beginners help and you found many useful thread here dont forget to use our search button above. no one you can be mentor here unless if you are lcuky someone can give free service to you.
^^^ I was almost completely Bitcoin naive when I showed up both here (and a month or so earlier when I started experimenting with it). If I can "learn by doing", and asking the Community here for help, you'll be able to do so as well. Jump in! The water's fine! * * * But, do note pawel7777! There are scams around! I was scammed by a clever blockchain.info scam, but I was not careful. Be careful! This is good advice. There are a ton of scams and the "investments" that sound too good to be true, usually are the worst. So beware of scams, Ponzi Schemes and the like. |

Follow these instructions very carefully. Make sure you backup. - Start with Bitcoin Core stopped
- Move your wallet.dat file out of the Bitcoin datadir
- Start Bitcoin Core. It should create a new HD wallet
- Get an address from the wallet. Copy it somewhere safe.
- Stop Bitcoin Core. Backup the new wallet file in the Bitcoin datadir
- Move that wallet.dat file out of the datadir to a safe location
- Move your old wallet.dat file back into the datadir
- Start Bitcoin Core
- Send all of your Bitcoin to the address you copied down earlier. Wait for a few confirmations
- Stop Bitcoin Core
- Move your new wallet.dat file back into the datadir
- Start Bitcoin Core. You should see the Bitcoin in your wallet now.
Great set of instructions thank you  , i think to be safe i will just the funds to another wallet i have in the mean time. so a few question's, Thanks to all  It is always best to keep the old wallet somewhere safe, just in case vs overwriting it. Your old addresses will not be in the new wallet if you follow his steps so you should use new ones, but you will still have the private keys if ever needed. And backup the new wallet. |

since mining is a way to make small earning in the present time because mining is not more profitable work for mining hardware in the current time so i will suggest you to leave your idea of mining bitcoin . it is waste of time .
I guess you didn't bother to read the first message and just wanted to post in order to increase your ad campaign post count? |

I tried to start several bitcoind #!/bin/bash
$HOME/bitcoin-0.13.0/src/bitcoind -regtest -server -listen -port=17591 -rpcuser=bitcoinrpc -rpcpassword=P -rpcport=16591 -datadir=$HOME/ForkTest/A/ -connect=localhost:17592 -pid=$HOME/ForkTest/A/.pid -daemon -debug

(setgenerate has been removed due to the internal miner being removed - see e.g. https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.13.0#removal-of-internal-miner ) |

Yes, download it from this page. where can I found it in real time? the valid addrs is changing all the time, even a second You can run bitcoin core and write some code to monitor the block chain and update your database. |

N ot,it is associated,I see my balance on bitcoin core and it 30.28 btc.
Given the number of times this address has been used with a trojan wallet, I'd be interested in hearing where you got the wallet.dat |

This makes me wonder about twenty years from, and all the people with Bitcoin who died. Unless they told someone who they can trust and gave them their password, it will all be gone.
Isn't it fantastic! Many may be hanging with Hal Finney at Alcor, so the coins may only be gone temporarily. |

I don't believe there is an option there to use a custom private key as he asked. Yes there is, under "wallet details" You can enter a private key in format: WIF, WIFC, HEX, B64, B6, MINI, BIP38 For example, the private key for Base6 address "1425342302314253423023142534230231425342302314333323023142534230231425342302314 25342302314253423023" is "5JMBJfgXCPpxB5HjiVJB4YvZ2wv4M6z3wqbTjtPqFKMCEC4E2jL" I think that is close, but given what he wrote, doesn't seem to me to be what he is asking. Maybe it is though. I think what he wrote comes down to a brainwallet for which there is also an option under 'brain wallet' edit: The asociated public and private key for his "supersecretprivatekey" passphrase randomized with SHA256 are: 12f3na5TXRs4itNi9i1TCeSsXkny7A1hxp 5KHHB79dmtJHA5QfGXa5rtHdWDrx8EeiWPBaZM4o6frexXvmko6 I think that is closer to what he wants, but what he is really talking about is something like this: 5supersecretprivatekeyEeiWPBaZM4o6frexXvmko6 |

Your Argentina example relies on people whereas the 2-way peg for sidechains should be handled completely automatically by the protocol (although for the interim solution using a federated peg that is not the case). So you don't need a centralized authority to make the commitment. You might check these papers out for more details on sidechains and pegs: https://blockstream.com/sidechains.pdfhttp://www.rsk.co/blog/sidechains-drivechains-and-rsk-2-way-peg-designYou can create a sidechain for bitcoin, but doing it for ETH for example, would be a "transfer" between bitcoin and an alt-coin, not a sidechain. ETH has its own rules for creation of ETH whereas a prototypical sidechain would have coins created and destroyed when there are "transfers" to and from the sidechain. This means, for example, you wouldn't have different inflation rules for the sidechain. The papers above (and many others) have much more detail. When the government of Argentina says they're going to peg the peso to the US dollar that means that if you come and give them a peso they will give you a US dollar in return. That's a 1 way peg.
A 2 way peg would mean you could get a peso for a dollar in the US and you could get a dollar for a peso in Argentina.
With cryptocurrencies a peg can't function this way since there isn't any authority, such as a national government, who can make such a commitment.
So what are we talking about when we say 2 way peg?
According to my understanding it means that if you send an amount of BTC, let's say amount X to a particular address A, this address is associated with a different cryptocurrency, ETH for instance ,on blockchain B.
Then having sent X of BTC to A you will have some amount of ETH proportional to X on blockchain B, until you decide to reverse the peg and have your BTC insead of ETH. Is that how it works?

mistake: the limit of sending messages in days is exceeded.
I use blockchain.
On an extent of 10 days, such mistake appears.
I can't enter a purse, and I can't dump (to otvenit) identification.
Support of blockchain is silent, ignores me.
I supports of blockchain, shocked by such irresponsible work.
Help somebody!!!
Are you talking about blockchain.info or something else? Perhaps you should ask in your native language in that section because this isn't making much sense. |

the Bitcoin application folder will be newly downloaded, no other wallet. What about mone received tot he wallet after last backup date? These will be lost or no?
So for a new install of Bitcoin Core 0.13.0+ you should be fine as long as you handle the passwords as achow101 states since you can recover the initial seed and rebuilt the wallet. This was not the case previously which is why version numbers are important to check. (It also never hurts to back up the wallet.dat file anyway, multiple times, plus the password/seed). |

Are you talking about "bitcore"? Or do you really mean Bitcoin Core? If it is bitcore, there is a section for bitcore.
yup: bitcore as per bitcore.io coudnt find a bitcore section tho, can you point me to that section? ty! There was a bitcore mining section (different that bitcore.io), but for bitcore.io I think the tech support is probably okay (vs Dev and Tech). Here are some topics that might have useful info; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1510136.0They seem to think just using npm install should do it. Also, there may be more here too: https://forum.bitcore.io |

Are you talking about "bitcore"? Or do you really mean Bitcoin Core? If it is bitcore, there is a section for bitcore. If you are talking about Bitcoin Core since you are in this section, what version of Bitcoin Core are you using? One easy way to upgrade to 0.13.0 is here: https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/ubuntu/bitcoinIt is often a few weeks behind official releases, but that is the easier alternative compared to compiling yourself - unless you are comfortable doing so. Having this on console when i issue wallet-creat, how to upgrade the client? [info] Generating new keys
[error]
{ code: 'UPGRADE_NEEDED',
message: 'BWC clients < 1.2 are no longer supported.' }
Thanks! |
