what os are you on? your client might be way too outdated to work in the network.
The "Bitcoin-Qt 5.2.1" isn't a bitcoin version, it may be a Qt version though. As stated above, it would be useful to know which version of Bitcoin you are using. It would be 0.something. |

I inputted my password to change my personal info - nothing happened. Please confirm as this is somewhat disconcerting and is NOT allowing me to edit my own profile
Which web site? Bitcointalk? If so, try moving this to the meta area. |

Definitely seems very fishy. Came, posted the question and then hasn't come back (as of now) to see the answers. |

Thank you all
Then when I feel the buyer is kind of shady, I will tell him to add a high enough transaction fee, I read somewhere about 40 satoshi/byte is more than enough, and wait for a first confirmation before sending.
And if it is a physical good, you can easily wait more than one confirmation. |

Hello,
A question comes to mind, since a Bitcoin transaction gets many confirmations, who gets the fee I sent ? The first block that confirmed the transaction ? if yes, why the other blocks would include a transaction for which they received nothing. ?
Would anyone explain this to me.
Yes, the miner/mining pool of the block that includes the transaction gets the fee. They don't include the transaction, just build the next block upon that earlier block which are further confirmations. |

No.
Support did not say anything. He is sorry that it happened
Just to be clear, you are talking about a blockchain.info wallet, correct? And you sent bitcoins to this blockchain.info wallet? And they haven't shown up there? |
|
|
|
You should contact blockchain.info support. It is somewhat difficult to understand what you are asking us to do. |

I had to reboot my computer and although I moved everything to a flash drive and backed it up when I moved it back to my computer the wallet had a new key. How can I put in the correct key? Currently it states I have no bitcoins.
I'm not sure why rebooting your computer would cause you to lose any of the contents on it since rebooting is just restarting it. Or do you mean reinstall the OS? If so, which OS? Perhaps you had the wallet in a custom location and so it isn't finding your old one and created a new one? Likewise, did you verify that you backed up the correct wallet? Where did you reinstall the wallet.dat file? One thing to be sure of also, if you really are "moving" the files, you should really be copying them and you should ensure that bitcoin core isn't running when you do so. Do you have a complete backup of the computer too just in case you didn't backup the right wallet? |

... Regardless, the only way to settle it is to fork and let people decide for themselves. A top down, enforced approach has no chance of success in convincing everyone.
I wonder what fork the miners would choose... There will never be a chance for bitcoin to go to PoS, it was too late since before PoS was created. Obviously miners will choose the POW fork since the PoS fork doesn't need them. If PoS was really a better solution a fork of the bitcoin software and then a fork of the block chain at some future specific point would easily be possible and is not dependent on the miners. Both forks would continue for some unknown period of time, perhaps forever running in parallel with different transactions, balances and the like. |

Sorry OP you are not Satoshi here. What Satoshi did was right and is still working immensely worldwide.
What Satoshi did was dead when wallet mining was dead.
CIYAM are you working on usable computation of pow, improved pos or something else? Satoshi discussed and anticipated the issue, so saying what Satoshi did was dead when wallet mining was dead is not a factual statement. Some of what Satoshi said at various times in 2010: ...
The design outlines a lightweight client that does not need the full block chain. In the design PDF it's called Simplified Payment Verification. The lightweight client can send and receive transactions, it just can't generate blocks. It does not need to trust a node to verify payments, it can still verify them itself.
The lightweight client is not implemented yet, but the plan is to implement it when it's needed. For now, everyone just runs a full network node.
I anticipate there will never be more than 100K nodes, probably less. It will reach an equilibrium where it's not worth it for more nodes to join in. The rest will be lightweight clients, which could be millions.
At equilibrium size, many nodes will be server farms with one or two network nodes that feed the rest of the farm over a LAN.
...
The current system where every user is a network node is not the intended configuration for large scale. That would be like every Usenet user runs their own NNTP server. The design supports letting users just be users. The more burden it is to run a node, the fewer nodes there will be. Those few nodes will be big server farms. The rest will be client nodes that only do transactions and don't generate.

i checked the sites you send but it is not it. i had all of my bitcoins on this wallet.
i have an access to this email and i remember the password to wallet.
nevermind i thing this wallet is no longer existing
Do you know anything about it? e.g. address? Were you mining coins and storing them on this wallet? Did you buy them somewhere? etc. "A few years". When? Without any details it will be nearly impossible to help. |

whether piwallet will work with x11 coins
This is off-topic for in here, you might try moving this to the x11 alt-coin section or the "piwallet" section and you'd probably get a better response. |

POS would require less energy therefore POW is wasting energy. Simple enough.
POS and POW are not functionally equivalent. The so-called "waste" energy represents the "work" aspect of proof-of-work. Apparently too simple for some. Carlton is correct. "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch." Somehow, someone, somewhere is paying for the security. In POW, the work portion does that. The energy isn't wasted, it is the security. Whether the security comes from work or something else, you get the amount you pay resources for. There are many long well written discussions about this if you google things like POS vs POW coins etc. Regardless, the only way to settle it is to fork and let people decide for themselves. A top down, enforced approach has no chance of success in convincing everyone. If you really think POS is better, fork it as above (or pay someone to do so) and let people decide for themselves which branch they want to use going forward from that point, maybe they use both - I think it would be a great experiment and would love to see how it turns out. The thing is, no one has forked Bitcoin like this in the years since POS was proposed just lots of discussions about why they think POS is better without an empirical study. So I think a lot is just argument for the sake of doing so without any intent of actually taking action while expecting "someone else" to implement it for them. P.s. QQ: "Dump" is not "dumb". :-) |

Well, the "easy" answer is to fork Bitcoin software into a POS coin. Once that is done, announce that in 50000 (or whatever) blocks it will fork the block chain itself. Then see how many people follow. You'd have a bit less than a year to convince people with 50000 blocks.
At worst you'd end up with Bitcoin and POS-Bitcoin. Discussions here will (I wager) do nothing (it has been discussed ad nauseam), putting the time into the software to implement it will show people that you are serious.
Once the split happens, watch to see what happens to the price of coins on the two chains in fiat terms. That will tell you what everyone thinks of the POW vs POS debate and whether it is a winning idea - or not.
(And to me this seems really off topic for the Dev and Tech section)

People will target you if they know you have coins or that you're likely to have some.
Best way to protect yourself if you're using a computer that is connected to the internet is to be careful for phishing scams and such.
Like other people mentioned, a good keylogger will just send the data collected offline when you it can connect to the internet.
I suppose it's less likely to get hacked running a Linux OS, but it doesn't eliminate the threat completely.
Well they will not find much because im broke lol. But im hoping that my small BTC wallet will be more valuable in the future. So im thinking about maybe buying a Trezor, as far as I know my coins will be isolated there, but im not sure if it's as easy as Bitcoin Core to create new sending and receiving addresses... I will eventually need to make the effort to learn about more isolated ways to store coins that don't depend on your computer not getting hacked, but since I don't have that much money I become lazy with the idea of having to do it. But go knows maybe in 5 years my Bitcoins are worth a lot so I should start looking for it. But until then i've just been doing backups of my wallet.dat and I have never had a problem. If you don't have a lot of coins and don't intend to spend/use them any time soon, perhaps a paper wallet would be the smartest choice then? |

knightdk has some good advice. Multisig might be a good bet.
You could also consider just giving the multisigs in two envelopes to someone who is trusted (e.g. an attorney, spouse etc in an envelope) and just direct them to give one envelope to each of godparents in the event that something happens to you. No need to say what is in it. Put a letter in it explaining what it is etc. Or you could keep them in your safety deposit box/safe with your Will etc with a note that the envelopes be given to them in the event something happens to you.
This way, if nothing happens to you, you change your mind, or something happens to one godparent before you, it is just a matter of changing the instructions for who is to get each envelope.
If something were to happen to you and bitcoin continues to grow and you explain what each is, they will have plenty of incentive to figure it out or ask for help figuring it out at that point.
Good luck!
