Knight was looking for "pchMessageBytes" as you'd asked about, not "pchMessageStart" and pch messages are all over net.cpp It is a magic number used to identify the network. E.g. So alt-coins and other software that forks Bitcoin (e.g., think name coin or twister as examples) don't confuse block chains. So you are querying another server to see what alt/fork they are and want to see the magic bytes they are using to determine that. Edit: look here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_documentation#Message_structure |

I think he's talking about code in net.cpp What do you mean by "pchMessageBytes"? I can't find that anywhere (grepped the entire source).
There is nothing in the protocol that makes a node deliberately disconnect from and refuse to connect to a node that uses an old version number. Nodes will instead just not send the new message types.
Also, there are no unique bytes that must be kept secret in any of the messages.

I sent a transaction an hour ago through Bitcoin Core using the default fee, and it's still unconfirmed. Is something going on with the network? I have never had problems with Bitcoin Core when sending a transaction using the recommended fee, but this time its taking too long. It's already past 1 hour actually.
Do you have the transaction id? |

hey cr1776, thanks for the response. i tried to do what you said, i entered: dumpprivkey 16in5R5UH4LkbA9hhvU2z6ZGYHPxyve67 in the Console, but it came back with: Error: Please enter the wallet passphrase with walletpassphrase first. (code -13)what is this? my wallet password? i tried walletpassphrase <passphrase> and it didn't work. i got: Error: Error parsing JSON:itwhat am i doing wrong? Yeah, you'll have to unlock it first. You didn't put it in <> did you? https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list |

To verify if that address is one of your's, in the console you can
dumpprivkey theaddress
You should get back the private key. If not, something is wrong. And DH did give good advice, as usual.

How many post can I do in bitcointalk in a day. And also I would like to know that what are the criteria for getting blocked in bitcointalk.
Following the rules is important. This is not technical, it should be in Meta. |

And make sure you have a backup or two of your wallet.dat file just to be safe.

I have been out of bitcoin for around 6 months maybe more. For some reason it always draws me back, from gambling in my undies to everything else. I recieved my first coin an hour ago and sent a few transactions to bustabit and direct bet. Direct bet instantly recieved my bet but after waiting and waiting I realized my first transaction from an hour ago so hasnt confirmed. I am using blockchain and I dont remember it ever taking more than 30 minutes.
If you have the transaction ID, people can give you more information as to why it was taking longer - e.g. low fees etc. |

By the way, digital ocean is reasonable, depending on what you are trying to do.

any good VPS ubuntu 12.04 to recommend?
I want to run some wallet, at least 1G RAM, accept credit card or paypal ok
First, this should be moved to a different section. [moved now] Second, why 12.04? 12.04 goes EOL next spring (iirc). Third, if this is for bitcoin core, you'll want > 1GB of RAM. |

Bitcoin Core is a wallet client. What you're seeing is an announcement of the latest version (0.13.0) with the torrent link to download it.
And paarticularly with a torrent link, verify the download signature. |

When i log into wallet 2 it shows no balance and no transactions, which leads me to believe that the address where I know the bitcoin are, must be associated with a different wallet, i.e.: wallet 1, the one to which i do not know the password.
So basically problem 1 is, recovering password to wallet 1
problem 2 is, once i successfully log in, i still have no access to the coins in that wallet because there is some key that i don't have that i require in order to "unlock" the watch only status of wallet 1 (which i don't even have the password to)
As it seems you know, if you don't have the password to wallet 1, you are probably out of luck since (assuming they work as they claim) they do not have the passwords to recover: Password Policy
Your password is never transmitted over the internet, sent to our servers, stored in cookies or in your browser's local storage in any form for this reason we are unable to help recover lost passwords. https://blockchain.info/wallet/securityIt looks like 1Ld7rHtF62d1HXNFcpgnpMNh47jvkWaq82 has never had any transactions: http://blockr.io/address/info/1Ld7rHtF62d1HXNFcpgnpMNh47jvkWaq82 |

Segwit is specified in BIPs 141, 143, and 144.
BTW, why BIP 142 has not been accepted? And how will look segwit addresses? I don't quite remember why BIP 142 wasn't accepted. There will not be segwit addresses. There will be segwit output types which map to a normal address. There will also be p2sh addresses in which the redeemscript is a segwit output. BIP 0142 is deferred (could be considered later if there is reason) since it is not needed right now since there is no separate segwit address format. |

Hi,I forgot my password to my wallet in bitcoin qt v.0.13 new,and try change but no result.After I open pywallet.py --web,and change passphrase , in localhost was written done!,and I stop pywallet --web.After I open bitcoin qt , and password dont changed.What you may help in this situation?
It is very difficult to understand what you are saying, but it seems you don't know your password. pywallet can't change your password if you don't know it to unlock it. That would be a huge security hole. This isn't a pywallet issue, it is a you not knowing your password issue. |

If you google "Bitcoin transaction widget," you will get links like this which may be what you are looking for: http://btcwidget.com |

I didn't look at the code yet, but the pseudo random number generation is very difficult to get right. It is great for a learning exercise for sure, but be very careful with real funds.  |

I have spoken with BTC Loading and he has requested I provide a 2 of 3 multi-signature escrow for each donator/deposit
And yet in the first post he says: ( the funds are kept in a secure multi-signature wallet where i hold only 1 key and starsoccer9 (the escrow provider) holds 1 key and each donators hold their different keys )
All the keys will be needed before any withdrawals will be issued ( for security resigns and to manage the risk) You may way to ensure that this really is 2 of 3. It doesn't help that he is spamming this all over the forums. |

people won't use bitcoin for remittance except if there is a stable market in their country they can sell in and with very low fees. because if the fees are high, people will go to Money gram and its similar because they are more efficient
This is the perfect place to use bitcoin. If you have high inflation rate, people should use bitcoin for remittances. Then get the people you are paying to use it too and never cash out into the local currency that is inflating away the value of the currency. Then you don't have to worry about the inflation rate problems - in Nigeria, Venezuela or elsewhere. |
