Just as a quick question, does this need to be done before or after the hard fork? Also, how do you know which node will be a "Core" one and which will be a "BU" one? You don't need to do anything before a possible fork. If you don't move your coins you can split them using the wallet of your choice afterwards. There's a place in the electrum settings where you can choose to manually connect to s specific node rather than use the default auto connect feature. If there's no message from the server including the user agent in the console tab you can search for it's IP address at bitnodes. That site will tell you what type of node it is. https://bitnodes.21.co/ |

I notice everyone else in the picture has grey hair except for the guy with the Bitcoin sign. That alone makes him look totally out of place. It was nice to see the rise in price immediately after his stunt. |

So along with Cryptsy, Mintpal and Mt Gox what other scammers were out there?
There's quite a few threads listing scams, but they are often out of date. The scams are never ending, so those threads need constantly updating. The quoted one was started by someone who passed it onto OmegaStarScream because he didn't have time to keep updating it any more. I got a request from minifrij that he is no longer able to update the post because he is not that active so I'm making another thread instead.
Notice:
I have removed any obvious ponzi sites (E.G "Double your bitcoins in 2 days") from the list and they will not be added; everyone should already know to avoid these and adding them will only unnecessarily inflate this list. Faucets will also not be added to this list.When reporting, follow this format: [B] URL:[/B] site_url
[B]Scam Accusation:[/B]
The URL shouldn't contain https/http, only the [domain_name].[extension]. The scam accusations should follow the proper format found in the sticky thread in the scam accusation section (If the reference is coming from bitcointalk).

Did you ever have Adobe Premiere Elements, or SoftMaker Presentations software
Its possible... But I'm sure I wasn't using anything more than wallet app than. So this is prv file is nothing usefull  Thank you for help, anyway. As far as I know Bitcoin core hasn't ever used files with a .prv extension, but other users here know far more about core than me, so I could be wrong. It's worth keeping a copy of the file and continuing to ask for help from others. Is it possible you could have been using alternative wallet software to Bitcoin core like an SPV wallet? |

I haven't seen any Bitcoin software that uses files with a .prv extension, but there could be some.
Did you ever have Adobe Premiere Elements, or SoftMaker Presentations software installed on your computer? Both of those applications use files with .prv extensions.

i have transaction with infos
tx id: 4a6f6b89eab7420ef54ae3d7725bf524eb14c6f797cf96fd2afdf669254b9965
i've been try to input on viabtc , but got error message
global name 'prioritise_tx' is not defined
anyone can help me to pick up it on pool?
thanks
When I tried accelerating it fot you I also got the "global name 'prioritise_tx' is not defined" error. Results from googling it suggest it's a python error. Maybe the viabtc accelerator is broken today and needs fixing.  Regarding your transaction, there is a user claiming he can get antpool to accelerate transactions for free. This is his self moderated thread. He should be online for another hour until 8pm UTC time. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1955028.0 |

Is that log the result of opening the wallet.dat in core, or the result of using the salvagewallet option on it? The "can't rename" error often occurs when using the salvagewallet option. |

The latest version of Bitcoin core can open wallet.dat files created in 2011. I tested it and it works. You can check if any of the addresses from your wallet.dat file contain Bitcoins by copying them from Bitcoin core and searching for them in this website. You don't need to wait for Bitcoin core to sync. https://blockchain.info/Although bitcoin.org has some old wallets available for download it advises against syncing them because of known security flaws. https://bitcoin.org/bin/insecure/README.txtThe releases in this directory contain known security flaws and should not be used. Do you mean you want to transfer your Bitcoins to an encrypted Bitcoin core wallet or an alternative like electrum? |

An Extended Public Key (xpub) can be used to generate a collection of Bitcoin addresses. There is a risk in sharing an xpub. It's possible for anyone who knows your xpub and one corresponding private key to calculate all the other private keys from its collection of addresses.
It's safe to use an xpub provided you make sure nobody ever discovers any of the private keys from the collection of addresses generated from it.
i dont know anything abut private keys & how to keep them safe :/ i will google it  if you have some links where i can read please share them This linked article explains private keys and the xpub, but it's a bit technical. Although plenty of wallets use an xpub it's usually kept hidden from you. An example is the electrum wallet. It's perfectly safe to use provided you don't reveal the xpub or a private key to anyone else. If you add a password to it the file containing all the sensitive private key related data gets encrypted, so nobody can view it without the password. Just use a password in electrum to protect your private keys. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/deterministic-wallets-advantages-flaw-1385450276/...there are two major types of deterministic wallets currently in use: Electrum wallets and BIP32 wallets; they use a very similar algorithm, allowing them both to have the master public key property, although the BIP32 wallets go further by also including the hierarchy property The problem is this: although you certainly can securely hand out child keys with no risk to the parent key, and you can hand out master public keys with no risk to the master private key, you cannot do both at the same time. The exploit for when that situation does arise is actually quite simple, and can be done with two lines of pybitcointools code. If you want to safely store large amounts of Bitcoins either buy a hardware wallet like a trezor, or use cold storage. This thread discusses trezor hardware wallets. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=122438.0This article explains cold storage using electrum. http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/coldstorage.html |

If you want to be sure your transaction gets confirmed contact either quickseller or macbook-air and offer to pay for confirmation. Macbook-air runs f2pool and quickseller also has access to it. Either of them can get that transaction confirmed. editIt's now confirmed with 12 confirmations. |

I send it through my cloud mining it's the first time i get this issue
I'd complain to your cloud mining service. Sending transactions with so many unconfirmed inputs isn't acceptable. It can lead to is the possibility your transaction might never confirm. |
|
|
|
If you pay someone to confirm it they might want a list of all the transaction IDs in the unconfirmed chain. Getting them all will require some work. On this blockchain.info page showing your transaction click "Show scripts & coinbase" and the advanced view will open. https://blockchain.info/tx/4e9a4b8f3d1990542de83bb44be67c295de516d608576fbd7bb89905715d3b83The advanced view will indicate a transaction's unconfirmed input with a red letter U as shown here.  Click the link named "Output" that's to the right of the red letter U. That will take you to a new page showing the unconfirmed input transaction. The top link in that page is the transaction ID. For example your transaction's first unconfirmed input's transaction ID is this. 87d7697d0823d64a79ac560f8149c99b09271a3affc03cf260b902b01f4d126a Copy and save that, then repeat the process by clicking the next red letter U to be taken to the next unconfirmed input's page. It will take some work to get to the end of the chain of unconfirmed inputs. Did a service like blockchain.info send those coins? |

What do we reckon..... 5 years in the clink or a $4000 fine ??  Nobody is going to prison fuck him hmmmm unless maybe a sumo... Before the clink.  After ten months in the clink.  If he does go to the clink even a few years will be tough on his waistline. Look at what a mere ten months did to it (and his jowls). |

I have only addresses start with "3" in Electrum.
How can I create address starts with "1"?
You must have created a multi-signature wallet as multi-signature addresses start with a 3. You will have to create a new normal wallet if you want addresses that begin with a 1. The electrum documentation explains multi-signature wallets. http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/multisig.html |

Hi thanks for your reply.
So if I understand, it's normal that I can't find it on another blockchain explorer and just have to wait?
You could wait and hope those transactions confirm, or pay a service like viabtc to confirm all those transactions for you. However there are possibly hundreds or thousands of unconfirmed transactions in the chains leading to yours. It might be expensive to pay to get them all confirmed. We also provide manual accelerator service for special cases (dire urgency, extremely low transaction fee etc.) and require a donation of 0.01 BTC/KB for each transaction. Please contact support@viabtc.com for details. Alternatively you could try contacting either quickseller or macbook-air and offering to pay them to get it confirmed. They can get F2pool to confirm specific transactions. If you wait there is a danger the network might forget about those unconfirmed transactions, in which case you will never receive the money sent to you. It will return back to the wallet of whoever sent it to you. That could happen fairly soon as the only block explorer that can see those transactions is blockchain.info. The network is already beginning to forget those transactions. Those chains of unconfirmed transactions aren't normal. I would refuse to do business with whoever sent the coins in future. |

Downloaded Bitcoin-QT
started the application, closed it. removed the .wallet file it created and replaced it with my old "wallet.dat".
as we speak, it is still performing the rescan.
You don't need to resync the block chain. QT should be able to list the addresses you are interested in, and you can do something like dumpprivkey to get private keys. You can wait for the resync if you want to use that software, but you could at least make sure that it can read your wallet.dat file correctly before going any further. Search for all the Bitcoin addresses that Bitcoin-QT shows on this website. That site will tell you if an address contains Bitcoins. http://blockchain.info/To view the addresses in Bitcoin-QT click "file" in the menu, then click "receiving addresses" in the drop down list that appears.  If blockchain.info shows an address contains coins you can either wait for up to a week for Bitcoin-QT to sync, or use a different wallet to spend them immediately. If you want fast access to your Bitcoins you need to extract their private keys from Bitcoin-QT, then import those private keys into alternative wallet software like electrum. To extract the private keys click "help" in the Bitcoin-QT menu, then click "debug window" in the drop down list that appears.  Click the tab labelled "console" in the debug window that appears.  Type dumpprivkey, then a space, then your Bitcoin address in the text box at the bottom of the console window. This is an example. dumpprivkey 1Cgu5PQyTYrZn4VtAs2T1FHf1ayXVYHNDt  Afterwards press your enter key to view the private key for your Bitcoin address. There's an example private key (L4RY4tv1Qpr4FVxtSLnr7vJiUCvk7A7C2Cd6M7QSU2BkRtj9vhnd) shown in the screenshot.  Copy the private key, then download and install the electrum wallet from here. https://electrum.org/#downloadUse your private key(s) in electrum using these instructions. http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#can-i-sweep-private-keys-from-other-bitcoin-clientsThose instructions send your Bitcoins to your new electrum wallet. After the transaction has six confirmations you can send your Bitcoins from electrum to wherever you like. |

Check if the Bitcoin you sent to your electrum wallet is till in the address you sent it to using a block explorer like this one. http://blockchain.info/Is the Bitcoin still in the same address or has it moved? If it's still in the same address you probably used the real electrum, not a modified fake version. Was the version of electrum you used in tails an old version? Try upgrading to the latest version of electrum then using your seed in that. |
