Can't seem to understand what you meant by "tried with blockchain.info" , this should fix your problem https://blockchain.info/wallet/import-wallet
you don't need an account , it will create after you import

I tried that very same address. I put in the captcha, I imput the password, it "loads" for a moment and always responds with "connection rejected", or something like that. So now I'm stuck.
182  Other / Beginners & Help / Does the wallet.dat file only work for bitcoincore? on: August 06, 2015, 06:41:50 AM
I lost my computer's charger, and I need my bitcoin. I have my file backed up, but I want a more immediate solution than downloading all of the blockchain. I tried with Blockchain.info, but all I get is "connection denied". Then I tried leading some bitcoin, resulting in a moralizing person placing negative trust on my account, hence I have no collateral...

So I really need to know which program to download to be able to import my btc (currently in the wallet.dat file) there, and buy a charger with them.

Now officially we called off my loan proposal after discussing with requester.

OK. Have a nice day  Smiley

In my opinion, yes it is wrong.

Most people should have one, maybe two accounts tops.

Creating accounts just to sell them does the following:

1. allows scammers to buy accounts with history and then scam others.
2. is unfair to anyone not farming accounts who wants to participate in a signature campaign. 
(Why should I get paid once when you can get paid 2 or 3 times)?
3. is unfair to companies running signature campaigns (many explicitly forbid this)
4. encourages others to also farm accounts.
5. makes the ranking system meaningless
6. encourages spammy low value posts just to increase post rank.
7. does not add value to the community.



I concede point number one. What trading history do I have!? Hmm... None. And I wanted to keep it that way until I lost my charger. But whatever. I concede that scammers might buy an account. That does not make me untrustworth. If l sell a cellphone, and someone does wrong with it, I am not responsible, it's ridiculous to hold me responsible for what someone with bad intent could do with an account. That holds true for any sold accounts, not just "farmed" ones.

Point two: none of the accounts I'm offering as collateral are nor have been in signature campaigns! both the lender and the escrow can confirm that.

Three: same as four. None of my accounts have been in signature campaigns.

Four: buying accounts encourages farming accounts. By tour logic, everyone buying several accounts from a single person is also worthy of negative trust. That is ridiculous, because it's not a reflection upon their trustworthiness, but your opinion of what they should do.

Five: what makes the ranking system so important? You have posted at least once a day since you got here and were here longer than me. A nearly meaningless factoid is what the ranking system is.

Six: that is an assumption. I always try to bring some insight or discussion into the topics I've posted on. The two accounts I bought maybe being the exception. And I am not encouraging others to spam. Also, the ones buying accounts are also worthy of negative trust under this logic.

Seven: another assumption. That's your opinion. You have no idea if my post add to the community or not. I think it's almost impossible to prove that something (other than spam, which I do my best to not do) does not add value to the community. Even posts like "let's count to 21 million in pictures!" might have their charm to some.

 There is nothing wrong with selling legendary (or any level) of accounts, as the trading of account is what prevents many people from trying to scam with their account because if it were not for account sales, people would scam  instead of trying to sell their account.

The problem I have with the OP is that I do not believe that he truly intends on repaying this loan.

There's a fine line between trading your account and creating multiple accounts (farming).
I don't think anyone should be account farming and I will leave negative trust for anyone
who admits to doing so.

First time I encounter a moralizing person on this forum. Bet you love giving people shit for stuff that's none of your business. Does it turn you on that some people will distrust of me afterwards, when I complete this loan on time and without issues? Do you like boasting about how you're going to leave negative trust on everyone that makes perfectly rule abiding practices.

And FYI, two of those accounts, I bought. Because I want to help newbies that want to have avatars right off the bat. Ask anyone at wall observer, I love having an avatar

I bet nine of the people saying I'm a scammer will even remember when I complete this loan. Oh, well. It's human nature.

So, I lost my laptop's charger. Stupid, I know. Anyways I need one of two things, someone willing to buy me a charger, holding the collateral until I pay them back (I'll start paying More on that later as soon as I get the charger, I promise). Or to lend some bitcoin for me to buy it myself. I was thinking perhaps this one I found on amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Adapter-NP-Rv511-Aa-pa1n90w-Ad-9019s-Ba44-00215a/dp/B00428E1H4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1438820941&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+R440+CHARGER)? It's for a Samsung R440, BTW (NP-R440-JA09VE, to be precise).

So, what about collateral? I have this, my full member main account, two jr member accounts, and a newbie account (with an awesome username). Looking at the charger in the amazon link, I'm gonna need about $25, depending on shipping (to florida) BTC0.1 (realistically? assuming nobody here does me a freebie) should be able to cover it, right? Here's where the payment plan comes in. I have 0.096 BTC available to me, but I promised this guy IRL I would buy him something online (he already paid me), so how's this payment plan sound? I pay 0.045 the day I get the charger (sometime next week, probably), then 0.02 September 1st and finally 0.04 September 15th. I really dont like lending money, I really dont like asking you guys for money (or a laptop charger, if you decide to cut out the middleman), and I feel the payment plan is too spread out, but that's the best I can do!

Thanks in advance, guys and gals.

account farming.
Unfortunately, it seems that a lot of account sellers have been going to the lending section to sell their accounts via using their accounts as collateral for loans.

It really is too bad that the account market is not full of more honest sellers. 

I'm saving these quotes for when I complete this loan on time. I'm not selling or giving anyone any of my (non-main) accounts until they are full members. And I'm *never* selling a main account before legendary.

so you are planning to sell legendary accounts. 


Is that wrong!? Does that mean I'm not to be trusted? I don't understand what your deal is. I'm being completely honest about everything. I'm not looking to get pulled into drama, I just want to talk about bitcoin, be part of the community.

Wanted to make it public that I was asked, and will be providing escrow for this transaction

As escrow, I asked him to hold the accounts. I think it the fastest and most convenient way to go about this.

189  Economy / Trading Discussion / Where is the trusted escrow list? on: August 06, 2015, 03:24:20 AM
I need to use an escrow, but I cant find the list! Thanks in advance.
190  Economy / Lending / Re: I TOO need an urgent loan quickly!!1 on: August 06, 2015, 02:10:18 AM
I will give you 0.09 BTC loan with all those four accounts as collateral. You can choose any trusted escrow and you pay the fee.

Repayment will be 0.11 BTC for almost one month long lone.

Deal. Just give me an hour to get some stuff sorted out. I'll be PM-ing you soon.

Edit: and now, my best hope at getting a charger is gone. Thanks for the negative trust because you disapprove of account farming, jonald_fyookball. Nobody will accept an account with negative trust as collateral. Well, it's mostly my fault, I guess. I hope you find peace.

I really hope it happens that way. I'm excited for the halving, though I'm getting a bit anxious. Every day is one less day I have to accumulate.

i hope for another leg down before we go up again Smiley

Yeah, guys. Come on, wait for me! I just need a few more weeks to get this exchange thing verified and completely figured out.
194  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: August 02, 2015, 06:34:55 PM
I just really hope I manage to get some BTC below $300. So, guys, prepare to go past $320. God knows whenever I want cheap coins, the price goes up  Undecided
195  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: August 02, 2015, 04:41:22 PM
The more I read this thread, the more I want to sell everything I own and just buy Bitcoin.

That would be the best investment for long term.

Short term, it would fuck up your finances severely. But long term... nobody knows. I would guess you would do great. But I've been very, very wrong before.
196  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: August 02, 2015, 12:51:49 AM
I think the troll is telling us the crypto is dead u guise.


 Shocked

Whatever shall we DO?!?

Obviously, you sell all your bitcoin and thank the brave soul that dared to defy the bitcoiners, and free you from their evil, evile influence.
Or buy more bitcoin. That's what I try to do.

Try to send money from Brasil to Denmark for example... It will take days. Xapo, Bitstamp (with debit card)... solves that in a matter of hours.

Gotmilk_, I've invented a technology that instantly sends Hula Hoops to Nigeria, from anywhere in the world!
The only thing standing between me and billions is ...doesn't seem like too many folks who *need* to send Hula Hoops to Nigeria Sad
Have you considered how many people need to send money from Brazil to Denmark on regular basis?

How many people would like to instantly send money from the any country to Mexico? The answer is Lots, at least 280 million dollar's worth a year. Imagine sending $100,00 to anywhere in the world, and only needing to place a $0.40 fee. Gee, looks a lot more convenient than your FUD-troll ass makes it out to be.

Almost back to over $280 in most (important) exchanges sorry, BTC-e. Not a surprise, but damn it, I was really hoping to buy bitcoins at $275! Next time... if there is a next time.
199  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: August 01, 2015, 03:23:30 AM
We might be revisiting $270s, I'm really anxious to buy $275 bitcoin. With the upcoming halving, you never know when it's the last time we'll see these prices. 220s to 240s already made their farewell tours, I think. We'll see.
200  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: July 31, 2015, 02:03:17 AM
I did the math 5 months ago. Posted it here before, but I think it's time to do it again:



Oh! You're they guy that posted that about 3 times! Hey! So it's been five months? Wow, it feels so long ago. Now I know so much more, I've gained so much from just dicking around here. I am convinced that I will be a millionaire (or hundred-thousandaire) thanks to you guys. Pizza party at my place in 2040!
