And backup your wallet.dat file in a few places before doing anything.

Yes it's possible look at Dogecoin it is cloned from Bitcoins, so when you copy it you get a different digital coin also called Altcoin.
EDIT: Another thing, you can copy your wallet.dat This way you obtain more Bitcoins, many people got rich using this simple steps.
Nonsense in Bitcoin.

Thanks, I used the option you gave above on a restart, once it had checked the blocks.. the BTC had indeed appeared back in my wallet ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I've resent it, using the fee the wallet said - any ideas on time for first confirmation? (saying now, broadcast through 12 nodes) Again, Thanks ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) If you have the tx id, people can give a better idea. If you used the suggested fee vs no fee, that is a positive.

This is yet another example of why p2p is the future. No one should rely on PayPal (use Bitcoin), Twitter (use Twister), Facebook or any of the other big companies when you can avoid it. You are at their mercy and under their thumb from the start.
It's a bit premature to draw the conclusion that the end of the big companies is near. I agree that p2p-networking is the (or at least a desirable) future, however people will only use p2p if it's really easy to do so. The volume increase at BTCTurk could be the result of people seeking an alternative to PayPal, but it could as well simply be due to the recent rise in BTC price or the result of speculative buying on the presumption that Bitcoin might see increased adoption after the decision. However if PayPal ceased operations in Turkey, it's also possible that BTCTurk might cease operations if the government pressures it to do so. Although a volume of $2,7 million is nice, it is certainly just a tiny fraction of the PayPal processing volume in the country. But it's a start... ya.ya.yo! I didn't say the end of the big companies is near, just that people should be using p2p to avoid the censorship and bias on the platforms etc.

Hey guys Noob here. I just got the basics about bitcoin and have some questions that are very important to me. 1. Is using blockchain.info to make payments truly anonymous or can everything be tracked back to you. 2. Is the blockchain.info account locked to ip or country that was used to register the first time. If I use a VPN for example, will it flag and lock me out for using different ips. 3. Can one use VPN and Tor together to access blockchain.info - I read on reddit that blockchain.info wouldnt allow Tor. Views from people who have used blockchain.info is much appreciated. Many thanks ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) If you are really worried about anonymity, using a third party service is rarely a good idea. As far as Tor goes, you can try logging in and seeing if it works. You can definitely pull up their home page via Tor. One thing to check is to make sure you don't store a large number of coins on a third party wallet and that you have backups of the private keys.

Like already mentioned halving happens every 210.000 Blocks (which is roughly 2 years considered that 1 block is mined every 10 mins in average).
Does anyone know wheter reward is going to be halved on block 420.000 or first halved reward at block 420.001 ?
It is actually roughly every 4 years, although this period has been about 3.5 years. :-) This has the schedule, showing which block it is: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply

Im using blockchain rpc for cryptoponzi! but it keep on giving me this error!
Which "blockchain rpc" are you using? Blockchain.info? If so you should ask in the appropriate section. From my understanding, if indeed it is bc.i, they made changes recently which my result in what you are seeing. edit: good, it was moved

Did you delete the transactions to let them be forgotten by the network etc? Did you try the steps in the pinned post above? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=232979.0G'day! I don't seem to be able to perform any send TX's at the moment. I have 3 TX's stuck in my bitcoin-core wallet. Its been about 2 weeks now and they don't look to be moving. All have 0 confirmations, but I'm receiving TX's ok ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) !! I've tried a number of things , a sweep into an Armory wallet , -zapwallet ( this seems to be defunct now)...they just won't budge. They are small amounts (mbtc) so I'm not particularly concerned about losing them if it comes to that , However, I would like to know what the hell is going on in case it's indicative of something sinister. I might want to transfer a larger, more significant amount in the future , so i want to make sure the wallet hasn't been ...compromised...in some way. Frankly , I suspect my fees may just have been set too low and the TX's got sidelined , but i would think that they should have cleared by now... surely! Any suggestions? I don't read Blockchain and could use some advise. I'll supply TX details to genuine parties interested in helping me investigate.

i think it's true the date is Reward-Drop ETA date: 11 Jul 2016 00:37:07
The only thing known is the block number. Everything else is an estimate which should be pretty accurate.

nagol you are doing so many mistakes its mind bothering .
1. You sent your transaction with 0 FEE . Why would you do this stupid thing ? Where do you think you are ? 2014 ? 2015 ?
Never send transaction with 0 FEE they will never get confirmed !
...
That is completely untrue. It depends on priority. And to demonstrate that, it appears that transaction already has confirmed. "Mind bothering" ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Mind boggling may be what you were looking for.

What do you think about the bitcoin and altcoin price after this?
This should probably moved to speculation - or start a new thread there or read one of the many threads on it. This question really doesn't belong in the Dev and Tech section.

thx - this helps but i still do not understand how the smart contracts are connected with the block chain. i understand the blockchain of bitcoin the input and output block, the double spending etc.
But how are the smart contracts connected with the block?
It depends on what you mean by "connected with the block". The short answer is that they are connected via transactions with the script.

I am also pretty confident that we are. After people realise Bitcoin is the currency of the future, we will be world renowned as the pioneers of Bitcoin.
When you have a week like the last week, it makes me think of this thread and wonder how Atlas is doing IRL.

Well, if you like slavery, you'll love socialism. Just because you think you are going to be the master holding the whip over everyone else, doesn't mean it is true and certainly doesn't make it moral.

The USA PATRIOT Act required that all banks in the United States verify the identities of their depositors, in order to undermine the ability of terrorists to use our financial system. So it’s ironic that Andreas Antonopoulos called the practice “dangerous” in a YouTube post that went up recently. The concept has come to be known as “know your customer,” or “KYC.” It’s bandied about a lot at fintech and bitcoin gatherings.

One of the great mysteries of modern life is the time it still takes for a check to clear. Every other financial transaction is being reduced to the tap of a phone or the press of a key. But checks take days to rumble their way from payee to the originating bank, days of lost interest and presumably fees for the intermediaries passing them around behind the scenes. Transactions and data management are supposed to be slicker these days, and yet time and again all of us run into situations where it’s as though technology never happened, or stopped around 1993.
Now come blockchains, and according to father and son authors Don and Alex Tapscott, we should all be cheering. Blockchains are basically a much better way of managing information. ... http://www.wsj.com/articles/bitcoin-is-just-the-beginning-1464302194
