21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / How to find the newest coins to start mining? on: December 20, 2017, 10:59:31 PM
Hey everyone,
I am wondering if there is a place to find the newest coins to start mining.
I have a thought that if I start mining right at the beginning of the blockchain, I can get a lot more than if I catch it later.
Anyone know where I can find something like that?
Thanks!

I've made a Python script as promised in PM.
Make sure to run it on an offline machine (just a security precaution so it wouldn't be able to steal your private key).

You'll need to install Python 2.7 first: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2714 (download the installer for your platform).

Then, download and unpack the following archive (I've just uploaded it): https://ptpb.pw/bQTv.zip.
Again, remember to run it only when your computer is not connected to the Internet!

This script opens in a console window, you'll need to enter your address first.
Then you can start typing your possible passwords one by one to check them. I can make it read a text file instead if you need.

To start the script, unpack the ZIP archive and run the brain.py file.

This seems to just be an offline version of bitaddress.org. I think I need a program that can run iterations of my pass phrase in case I typed it in wrong.

I get a different public/private key than the one I put my Bitcoins in. My bitcoins are still in the wallet that I transferred to, as I still have my public key. I just don't have my private key.

Yes I realize they aren't safe now. I guess I thought they would be the best option in case I need to access my wallet somewhere and knew my passphrase. I thought it was created with a passphrase that I know, and still have. That passphrase doesn't give me the correct keys though, so I don't know if the passphrase was typed in wrong, or if it is an entirely different wallet all together.
I used bitaddress.org for the brainwallet. That is about all I can remember right now.

Hi everyone!
So about 4 years ago, I bought some Bitcoins and had them in a wallet on my phone. I thought I would do the super secure thing and make a brainwallet!
So I made the brainwallet with a passphrase, and sent all my bitcoins there. I then wrote down my passphrase and off I went.
A few days later I went to check my wallet and I couldn't get the right private key. I was so mad, and I tried a few other people but nobody was able to help me get my coins back.
Anyway, now that BTC has hit 10k, I am really hoping I can get my hands on my wallet. I found some older threads about using some Ruby program or bitcoind or something to find your wallet, but I am a complete programming noob, and have no idea where to begin. Could anyone possibly help me out?
And yes, I know I am stupid for using a brainwallet and I deserve for my coins to be lost, but it was a long time ago and I had no idea what I was really doing.
Thanks so much!
