我遇到了跟楼主一样的问题,钱包的密码想不起来了,难道只能自己每天去猜吗?有没有更好的破解的办法?

盡力記下一切可能和密碼有關的資料: 長度, 文字, 數字, 大小楷, 符號等

然後你可以自己用程序暴力破解, 或找其它人幫忙, 如:http://www.walletrecoveryservices.com/index.html

Another point most of you do not aware is that Chinese BTC exchanges have the best integration with fiat transfer system. Transferring fiat in and out is the biggest headache for many bitcoin exchanges (see MtGox). In China, however, it is completely painless. Taking btcchina, the biggest exchange as example. Users can transfer fiat from any major Chinese bank to the exchange instantly with zero fee. Therefore, depositing BTC is literally faster than depositing bitcoin.

To withdraw, only 0.5% is deducted and in most cases it will arrive in 24 hours. No daily limit. No AML or KYC. All you need are accounts of any major Chinese bank and Tenpay (the Chinese version of Paypal).

(However, this is China, which means the government policy could change overnight)





Then, it is quite surprising the volume isn't even higher.

Could you imagine if it was that easy to get BTC in American, Europe, etc. what would happen to the volume?
Perhaps the storm is just getting started in China...

Although they have painless fiat deposit and withdraw + 0% tx fee, the volume is still lower than Western exchanges. This means the Chinese market may not be as big as some people think (yet).

That may also explain why the price is higher in Chinese markets. There is actually a nice gap for arbitrage between btc-e and btcchina. The gap was >10% just after the silkroad crackdown.
2003  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Detecting an address collision? on: October 12, 2013, 08:07:44 PM
I know that two people generating the same address (maliciously or accidentally) is about as likely as the Sun and the Moon instantaneously switching places, destroying the solar system.

No, with so-called "brain wallet", it may not be that rare.

But, if it were to happen, is there any way to detect it so it can be observed?


It's just like using one wallet.dat on 2 computers: both and see and spend the balance of the address.

If you still do not understand, import this key to your bitcoin client: 5KJvsngHeMpm884wtkJNzQGaCErckhHJBGFsvd3VyK5qMZXj3hS (you'd better use an empty wallet to try this)
2004  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Worst case scenario on: October 12, 2013, 08:00:47 PM
I think sending a maximum sequence alert is equal to sending the "URGENT: Alert key compromised, upgrade required". It's equivalent to revoking the key.
Correct.

Sorry if I'm being slow... Are you saying that the "URGENT: Alert key compromised, upgrade required" message is hard-coded into the client to display when it sees a maximum-sequence alert?

Yes.

2007  Economy / Speculation / Re: Chinese exchange volume higher than Mtgox on: October 12, 2013, 04:16:52 PM
I personally trust the volume figure of btcchina.com, bitxf.com, and rmbtb.com . I trade on all these platforms and they act professional.

Not saying that the rest are not legit, just I have never traded on them. btc100.org is high probably because they are giving share of the exchange to traders. btc008.com is a known and ongoing scam.

after looking at that bids over time chart i think maybe you are right some single entity that controls 50kbtc buy orders pulled them, moved them down, and are slowly moving them back up. already the bids from 70+ are up to 95k from 87k. yet the bid chart doesnt show any new money.

Who would be stupid enough to put new money to gox, while he could buy at >10% lower in other exchanges?

This won't work because people use https, not http

Actually, this could be done on a far simpler basis attacking individual users via a MITM attack.  Here is your scenario:

1.  Your ISP hires a dishonest worker.  Let's call him "Mallory".  (I say ISP, but this could happen upstream from the ISP, too, on the backbone).

2.  Mallory prepares a hacked bitcoin client by downloading code anonymously from github, then adding his own special sauce and compiling.

3.  Late at night, Mallory reroutes two cables in the server room, to put http requests through "Machine X" which is not on the ISP's logging system.

4.  "Machine X" has URL rewriting code that watches for people trying to download the compiled bitcoin client, and redirects those requests
     to a server where Mallory's fiddled version is served.

5.  A hundred or so users (or a few thousand depending on how big the ISP is, or maybe half of all the downloaders for a few weeks if Mallory is at a backbone site) send an HTTP request for the client, and get Mallory's version instead.

6.  These phony clients have most of a year to log your wallet-decryption passwords while acting as legit clients, then on June 14 they send three-quarters of your coin to Mallory's client.  Meanwhile they continue to display the amount you had, so that you won't notice until you try to spend down to less than 75% of your previous balance, unless you go to blockchain.org and look up individual keys.

7.  Mallory turns around the coin to buy untraceable goods, leaving it in the hands of honest merchants.

8.  It will be at least two or three months before most of the victims notice.

What if the alert system key(s) is compromised? Any mechanism to revoke the old key and migrate to a new one?
A maximum sequence alert can be sent which will override all other alerts and will display a static prefabricated message:

"URGENT: Alert key compromised, upgrade required"


Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't the attacker in this case simply set the sequence number and priority to the maximum?

I think sending a maximum sequence alert is equal to sending the "URGENT: Alert key compromised, upgrade required". It's equivalent to revoking the key.

2014  Bitcoin / Armory / Bug in export tx history on: October 09, 2013, 07:47:01 AM
In exported tx history (csv), there are 2 bugs for records of "loop transactions" (tx within the same wallet):

1. tx fee is not shown
2. The value is shown as "Total Credit", while nothing is shown in "Total Debit"

As a result, the values do not add up correctly

It's interesting that more coins are seized (not talking about those trolling tx) as of today. It seems that no one except DPR holds the private key of the SR hot wallet. If someone else in his team holds the key, they should have had moved the coins before FBI transfers them.
2016  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker - Hardcore on: October 07, 2013, 05:45:14 PM
By the way, Mr. Loaded just moved his stash. Wonder what he is up to... Time to panic?

https://blockchain.info/address/1BqcwhKevdBKeos72b8E32Swjrp4iDVnjP


I doubt he's selling. Even so, he would do it as a private deal since mtgox is unsafe and the other platforms do not have enough market depth

I guess he just feels unsafe to store 40,000BTC in an used address and moves it to a new one

5 BTC is just a joke. You won't get such thing implemented in bitcoin even with 50,000 BTC bounty.

And there are free solutions to theft: cold storage.

How does arresting DPR reveal the identities of the sellers on SR? They should be safe.
Only thing that will change for them is that they will start selling on BMR instead of SR.

Btw: To reduce his lifetime sentence I'm sure he'll rat outs out some Silk Road sellers. Yes?

In an ideal situation, he shouldn't know who the sellers are

It may reveal the identities of the buyers, as they need to provide mailing address

For sellers, they may leave some trails in their PMs
