1881  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: A PROBLEM OF MY BTC WALLET on: July 03, 2016, 11:33:57 AM
Are you sure you are using the correct passphrase?
 Smiley
My BTC wallet was bitcoin core ver. 0.12.1

After sending my BTC to another address, and waiting for two days status was 0 confirmation, maybe be because the transaction fee was not enough,

So I found a solution from google, -salvagewallet, then it seemed to work

But today I try to send my BTC again, after I insert my pass-phrase, a window show up which says

assertion failed program:C:\........bitcore-qt.exe file:wallet/crypter.cpp,line 190 expression: false

if click ignore button, it says pass-phrase incorrect.

if click retry, it says runtime error.

don't know how to solve this problem

You should check out p2pool, see:

1883  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin Core sync stuck at 2year 45 week on: July 02, 2016, 10:25:25 AM
I too would suggest this could be a memory issue. How much ram do you have? 32 bit systems with little memory can be problematic.
1884  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: seek for help on: July 02, 2016, 10:22:26 AM
Do you have pkgconfig installed? Which version of Bitcoin core?
1885  Other / Off-topic / Re: KEY API to Payment on: July 02, 2016, 12:27:18 AM
Payment API.
The site is the web investment sector.

If you really want help, please answer the questions.
1886  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Someone please help, my bitcoin block index is corrupted. on: July 01, 2016, 03:50:16 PM
maybe you can try a bootstrap. or copy and paste the files in another location and have em ready to copy them back again once corruption happens.

Using a bootstrap is a bad idea and has been since version 0.10.0.

1887  Other / Off-topic / Re: KEY API to Payment on: July 01, 2016, 12:26:18 AM
Does anyone know me know how to do to get the API Key?
Because I have already sent the request for the site, but received a return that was refused without at least clarify the reason.

Has anyone here ever get that key? Because I talked to other developers and they said they also failed.

After all what requirements really needed to get that key?

What site? What api?

1888  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Receiving Bitcoin Address disappeared while syncing blockchain on: July 01, 2016, 12:25:24 AM
I GOT IT!!!

I had made backed up my wallet multiple times. During one of those times, I figured I might as well just copy the entire bitcoin directory. Turns out the correct wallet.dat was in the copied file, not the backed up wallet.

Thanks everyone for your help! This 3 day struggle has been a big lesson for me.

Good news. Always backup. 😀

Are you sure the 12 word phrase you wrote down was entered/written down correctly?  There is no central authority to get your bitcoins back, you need the private keys.
1890  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Receiving Bitcoin Address disappeared while syncing blockchain on: June 30, 2016, 07:41:20 PM
Is the old wallet.dat present in a backup? (Assuming it really isn't anywhere on the drive.)
1891  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Downloaded torrent file for blockchain info. What next? on: June 30, 2016, 12:49:01 PM
I have downloaded the torrent file recommended in the forum.  Using bitcoin core.  Can someone walk me through the necessary steps to use the file data in bitcoin core?  Thanks

Whomever is recommending this is giving bad advice. The torrent has been slower since 0.10.0.  Just let core sync on its own.
1892  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. on: June 30, 2016, 10:08:16 AM
"a Windows wallet"? Which one? Version? Windows version?  What version of MinGW is this?
1893  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Strange Glitch with Bitcoin Wallet *HELP I'M LOSING MONEY* on: June 29, 2016, 11:19:02 PM
So I recently purchased roughly .025 mBTC off of Indacoin and had them sent to my empty Electrum Wallet. My Electrum wallet is now telling me I have 26 BTC. No, not .26, but 26 whole Bitcoins. I know that's not true because I checked the block chain and it still shows the transaction being .025. But now I have no way to know what my actual account balance is and when I sent out the .025 btc to a different wallet it is entering this other wallet as only .0000229 btc, yet my Electrum wallet seems to be completely empty now? Can anyone please tell me what is going on and how I can fix it? I'm literally just pouring money down the drain at this point. This issue has happened to me once before and I have already tried re downloading the client and getting a new wallet.

This probably belongs in the electrum section, but what units do you have it set to in electrum?

Can you provide the transaction IDs?

They may be random enough, hopefully they are, but it is very easy to mess something up, for example blockchain.info and Android messed it up, as have many others:

http://www.nilsschneider.net/2013/01/28/recovering-bitcoin-private-keys.html
https://bitcoin.org/en/alert/2013-08-11-android

But as Danny said, if it is really random, sharing the code is a good way to ensure that it really doesn't have any obvious issues.

 Smiley

I think that they are random enough Wink
Here is an example (for the secret exponents):

1895  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How to come from a secret exponent to a Bitcoin private key? on: June 25, 2016, 01:40:51 PM
Also just be really careful that these are truly random if you intend to store value there. This is often a tricky thing and many people have been caught by using either not truly random prngs etc
1896  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: ”Argument list too long“ for decoderawtransaction on: June 24, 2016, 11:54:02 AM
What does
getconf ARG_MAX

Show?


There may not be another solution except recompiling since I don't think xargs would help here.
1897  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin Entropy Questions? on: June 22, 2016, 10:24:01 PM
What if the attacker tries to guess all private keys?
...

They would run out of time and energy in the universe first. 

(*At least with our understanding of physics today.)
1898  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin greatest vulnerability on: June 19, 2016, 02:14:58 PM
OP, you are completely and absolutely wrong. The private keys ARE NOT randomly generated characters. They are actually 256 bit numbers. This means that the total number of possible private keys is 2^256 - 1, which is a ridiculously large amount of possible private keys. Those private keys are converted into the characters that you see through a process known as Base58 Check Encoding (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Base58Check_encoding). You cannot just throw random characters together to get a private key because it will probably fail the Check part of Base58 Check Encoding. The Check is the first four bytes of a SHA256 checksum of the private key.

Note that most Bitcoins are spendable by addresses, not public keys. Addresses are only 160 bits, and any private key whose public key hashes to the same 160 bit address is able to spend the coins at that address.

So for most coins it's "only" a 160 bit search to find a private key that can spend them. You don't need to find the same private key as the proper owner of the coins, you only need to find one which gives the same address.

Of course, a 160 bit search is still impractical to carry out. But it's a lot easier than a 256 bit search.


and in this case:
Bitcoin (cold address)-> person can coincidentally create an exact same  account number (cold address) .

If someone uses something non-random, sure. E.g. "Dog" as a "brain wallet" or a non random PRNG.

Otherwise, no.  Saying otherwise is either FUD or not understanding math etc as Foxpup etc has explained.
1899  Other / Off-topic / Re: how backup google authenticator on a non rooted phone? on: June 15, 2016, 06:29:52 PM
I know this isnt strictly bitcoin related but im sure most people use this on various exchanges etc. My problem i have is i cant seem to find a backup option inside google authenticator so that if i ever lose my phone or break it i can recover all my accounts.

Anyone know how this can be done, I know titanium backup is capable of this but obviously ive not rooted yet.

This is definitely off topic for this section, but there is always Authy as an alternative.

1900  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Speed up syncing time? on: June 14, 2016, 04:26:42 PM
There is... you can download a bootstrap file if you are using bitcoin core. - https://bitcoin.org/bin/block-chain/

or use an SPV wallet if its a client you are after - http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/4649/what-is-an-spv-client

Downloading the bootstrap is bad advice and is often slower than downloading the blockchain with bitcoin core (since v 0.10.0, iirc.)
