1981  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Coins stuck in old bitcoin-qt on: April 08, 2016, 05:19:05 PM
My mother in law bought some coins a couple years back. She forgot to back them up to an offline key. I know a little about bitcoin but have had no success in getting them to a new wallet. The issue is that the coins won't verify until qt syncs and it continually gives an error before it finishes and crashes the program. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance and sorry if I missed a sticky on this

You can export the private keys before the sync is complete, these are two options to check out.  HOWEVER, before you do anything, make a backup or two of the wallet.dat file to be safe:

1982  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: BITCOIN VOUCHER PROBLEM on: April 07, 2016, 09:26:36 PM
yeah a QR

You may be able to scan that to get the private key and import that into a wallet.

How can I transfer BTC from a gift voucher to my wallet?
From where you got this "gift voucher" ?
A friend gave it to me

Ask your friend.

I assume he gave you a private key.  In that case, you would need to import the private key into your wallet (if you've chosen a wallet that allows import of private keys).  To explain how to import private keys (or at least let you know if its possible), you'll need to let us know what wallet you are using.
I'm using Electrum on Linux


Is there a private key on the voucher or perhaps a QR code or something?  (do not share it no matter what, btw).
1984  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin lost? on: April 07, 2016, 08:06:06 PM
Yeah that's it I quadruple checked it.

I guess I'll just have to contact them again and show evidence and maybe they can resolve the problem on there end. Just worried cause that's a big chunk of money for me to just lose out on:(

Yeah, if that is the address, as you can see anyone can verify that it was correct. 

1985  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin lost? on: April 07, 2016, 05:24:05 PM
I found that address myself. I've done 3+ transactions with them I just don't understand how they'd just De ice to scam me now? If its there wallet then how do they fix it?

I would assume if it was scam they would of spent it so maybe its something wrong with their wallet

Was that the address they gave you to send to?

As far as their wallet, how depends on the software in use and what the issue is.
1986  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin lost? on: April 07, 2016, 05:17:25 PM

If that is the address they gave you, then clearly they are not being honest when they say they "haven't received them".  Or perhaps they have a problem with their wallet.

But you should be able to send them a link to the transaction showing the amount you sent them to show them that 1.5938 coins were sent and received.
1987  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Finding Primary Address for Wallet on: April 07, 2016, 05:14:58 PM
Let me explain what I am trying to find.

I download bitcoin client/server, whichever.  The very first time it is run a bitcoin address is generated and that is the actual address for that wallet.  I can then, through the console or a GUI generate more addresses that refer to the same wallet.  They are typically all based on a variant of the original key.  Because the wallet is mine, I can search through and there are several ways to find that first address, most very easy.

What I want to do is find the first address for a server/client that is not mine.  Specifically, I want to get an idea of the volume of BTC or another coin traded on an exchange.  Not a specific exchange, I am going to do this for several and try to get a real idea of the volume of trading that is done in a 24 hours period.  I will use YoBit for an example.  If I go to my wallet on their site, I can create an address for deposit, I assume that this address refers back to their current hot wallet and it is really an address of theirs that I am using.  I deposit BTC there and it shifts into their wallet as part of the hot wallet pool.  They use a MySQL database to associate both the bitcoin address they gave me and my transactions with my account.  If I deposit a single Bitcoin, it is in their hot wallet and their website database tells the website I have a BTC to play with, withdraw, whatever.

Now, if I take the address they gave me and search the blockchain, I will see the single go in and then take off into cyberspace, as part of their hot wallet.  I can watch and track where it goes from there, I can see the address I sent it from originally, but I cannot see any info about the hot wallet and addresses above that address.  I can only see the volume that is on one side of my specific address.  I want to find the hot wallet master original address.  That would show all the volume for the entire wallet.  I am not stupid and do not think that one wallet is all they have and all they ever use or used.  But, I am trying for a simple 24 trading volume and it is very possible that an exchange will only have that one hot wallet in use during that time period.  At least one wallet for exchanges, maybe another for other types of transactions.

So, to summarize, using only a generated address, how do I find the master address for a wallet.  I have a small play wallet for gambling, a generated address for it is 1EGQKsjUL4A8GG4tX26dBPFdcRMTDK545R the blockchain shows a small amount in and out for a single transaction I did using that address.  Can anyone here get the addresses above that address.  I can verify them, if so, how did you do it?

If you are talking about Bitcoin Core, there is no "master address" for a wallet and are not "all based on a variant of the original key." 

If you are talking about a different Wallet, you'll have to ask in the subsection for that particular wallet. 

There are a number of misconceptions above for Bitcoin Core, btw.  ;-)

1989  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2016-04-06] Bitcoin in need of restructuring, say Cornell researchers on: April 06, 2016, 04:56:30 PM
Juels says the current debate over block size overlooks bitcoin’s fundamental scaling challenge. He says tweaks to the block can be made as a quick fix, but the digital currency’s system must be completely redesigned in order to compete with major payment methods.

“The question isn’t what happens in the next year, but what happens in two or three year,” says Juels. “And that’s going to affect if Bitcoin becomes adopted as a mainstream currency or if cryptocurrency in general begins to wither.”

Pegged side chains are also a potential solution to many things and they often seem to be discounted.

how to compile a IPhone version of wallet? the source code different?

If you are asking about Bitcoin Core, you can't compile it for iPhone.  As above, there may be other open source wallets for iPhone that you can try.
1991  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: compiling problem for Mac OSX 10.7.5 on: April 06, 2016, 05:45:07 AM
Thanks, my file is mycoin-qt.pro, not in sh, how to deal with this?

You'll have to ask the person who created the alt coin.  You initially posted in the Bitcoin section, so the answer applied to Bitcoin.
1992  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: compiling problem for Mac OSX 10.7.5 on: April 05, 2016, 08:33:00 PM
You need Homebrew, not macports.  Are you following this?
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-osx.md

But if you really installed something called "macport" vs "macports" then you may have installed something completely different or unrelated.

edit:
p.s.  With macports you may need to do some extra install stuff to link qmake correctly.

ohhh juhuuuuuuuuuu
it worked
lol
thank you so much to you all

i have now the correct number of btc and lite

and i learned about linux
 Grin

i found the path but i had to click on show hidden files
then the rest was easys

just in case someone has the same problem


Awesome!  Glad you got it working properly!  ;-)

Yes, we know what change (not changer) addresses are, but whether or not you only used one address, you will likely have multiple change addresses if you did multiple transactions.  You will need to export them all and import them.  (Alternatively you could probably send all the coins to single new address and then just have one to import.)

Which wallet were you using as your main wallet previously?  (Keep a backup of them all, btw)


no still does not work

hmmm. doesn't work how exactly? did the client opened or not at all?

i do remember when i erased a file in the appdate when i used windows
then the wallet had to rescan

could i dó that in linux too ? and if so what file would i have to erase ?

I don't know about erasing anything (nor do I think that it's a good idea). but importing a private key will make qt rescan.

but thats what i did at the beginning
i imported private key
and ended up missing btc in the linux wallet
btc i do have in my windows wallet
correct amount
so why is it that the linux shows less ?
is that a bug ?
and a week ago or so i opened my electrum wallet which should show also my btc and it showed less too
thats how i found out about the charger fuction
but should that be shown in a wallet ? and why does it not sum up all the adresses including the charger adress new and show my correct amount of btc ?



Did you import all the private keys from Windows that had balances? Since you say "import private key," not "keys" plural, you may have only imported one. I suspect you may have missed some, perhaps the change addresses. (note that that is plural too).   (Is that what you mean by "charger address"?)


hi
i used always only one adress so it was one private key. so you are right plural. and i dont know how to find the changer adresses

i explain what i mean by changer
i see transactions
lets say i recived 10 btc
then i spend 3
and the missing is exactly the 7 that is left from the originaly 10

like the 10 was a note just created for my wallet and when i spend my 3 i get 7 change back
but usualy i dont see that process in my wallet. ( at least never did in the windows core )
now i see the transaction fo the 7 but i dont see the 7 arrive at any of my wallet adresses
so where are they now ?
at blockchain info i see the transactions too

in my win wallet the number of btc is correct

1996  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: backup of the index on: April 01, 2016, 07:29:48 PM
I had another crash of my windows 8.1 machine which I run uᴉoɔʇᴉq core on - and that took down my index - - again.
Now after a night of the fan going full speed I am still 37 weeks out of date.
There must be a way to back up that work!
Would it be possible to have a back-up of the index and restore it after a crash that corrupts the index? A copy of a few GB should be faster than hours and hours of reindexing.
Or is there a reason why that should/would not work?
If it is possible would I have to shut down core before backing up the index to make sure no files are open that might not be backed up or could I use shadow copy to do that (or would I end up with a corrupted index after restoring a snapshot that core does not know what to do with)?
Thanks - Merlin
Of course. You need to go to the data directory and and find the blocks, chainstate, and database folders. These you need to backup. Copy them somewhere safe. However, these folders are not just "a couple of Gb" but rather 60+ Gb. You will need a hard drive that can store this full backup (because you will need all of it) and the original. Whenever you need to reindex, you can just copy those three folders back to the data directory. Keep in mind that this will set your sync state to the same as when you made that backup so you will need to wait a little bit for uᴉoɔʇᴉq Core to catch up. If you want to keep the catch up fast, then you should make those backups routinely.

Also, I advise that you upgrade to uᴉoɔʇᴉq Core 0.12.0 if you have not already. This version has fixes which makes it not necessary to reindex on a crash. You shouldn't need to reindex every time it crashes with this latest version.

It is also probably advisable to shutdown Core prior to backing it up.

1997  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoins lost in the abyss on: April 01, 2016, 12:09:09 AM
Ok, I ran bitcoin core with -zapwallettxes. The transaction is now gone, however my wallet balance is zero!!! What should I do now?

Once your wallet is synced, you need to remove that transaction from your wallet. This will then allow you to spend your Bitcoin as it is not actually gone. To do this, you must start Bitcoin Core (I assume it is Bitcoin Core because that is the only wallet that has -000 in the txid) with the -zapwallettxes option which will remove your transaction. Then you can spend the Bitcoin again and it should go through.
Huh. Strange. Try starting it with the -rescan option this time. You don't need to have -zapwallettxes anymore.

Also, do you know the address(es) where the coins were located?  If so, you should be able to see if there are still there or if they were sent at another time somewhere else. 

Btw, make a backup of your wallet now (even if you already have several) just to be safe.
1998  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Wordpress plugin to reward users who share the posts? on: March 29, 2016, 08:19:02 PM
According to : http://www.wpthemedetector.com/ , Cointelegraph don't even use Wordpress
I also searched and I couldn't find anything about it  here https://wordpress.org/plugins/ , Bitcoin have a very low support for what comes to Wordpress (which is considered #1 CMS) but well , It seems like some web developers are interested into making Ponzi scheme instead of helping the community .

I know they dont use WP.
I have posted the link as example (the sharing/reward module)

I am also interested in this. Perhaps Mashshare.net could integrate bitcoin tips for sharing posts into their existing plugin.

What I have found until now is this:  https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpoints

It give points to users (wich can be converted in BTC).
But it does not have the option to give points for sharing posts ...

I wonder if ChangeTip might be a way to integrate the two.  It could help to avoid too many small transactions as a bonus.   It is tricky though because you have to track the number of shares, time etc.   Without that, you could just make the share link fire off a payment via changetip in addition to sharing it.

It looks like it is low fee, so it is hard to give more than a guess.

You'll probably be more successful by moving it here:
