Hi,
You need to backup the wallet.dat-file that's sufficient.
Its not that dangerous to export the private key, as long as you don't expose it
You need to install electrum and chose "restore wallet", paste your private key in the text area (I'm on my mobile, so I'm doing this from memory, the wording might be different)
Hi... right I think I just read this right and the previous post. to sum up (obviously nervous about doing this) 1. Backup the wallet.bat through the file\backup wallet menu (it is ok to do this whilst it is still trying to synchronise the network??) Yes. The file contains the private keys. They allow you to recover if something should go wrong. You dont have to be in sync for this. 2. Use the command lines (as stated above) to extract the current private key associated with the wallet
3. close the current wallet program
4. Install Electrum (can i do this on a totally different PC??)
Yes, just make sure you transfer the private key in a secure way (e.g. not via Mail). In its unencrypted form it can be used to steal all your coins within seconds. 5. create a standard wallet and remember the seed
6. Go to wallet, select private key and I think "sweep" is the best option and input my key (i think sweep is best, if i want to totally replace the current wallet with electrum??)
Yes, sweep will make sure that all funds you previously had on bitcoin core (or rather spendable with the private key in question, keep the wallet.dat from core anyway just in case) are now transfered to the electrum wallet. This will be done on the blockchain and will cost a small amount of fees. 7. The bit coins that i transferred (3 days ago, and not visible in bit core because the network hasnt finished synchronising) will be there in Electrum for me to use...?)
does this sound correct, thank you all so much for your help
Electrum does not need the entire blockchain itself. It connects to servers that already have the chain. These servers can tell your client all it needs to know without them knowing your private keys. Make sure you have a good (e.g. on paper) backup of the seed words. Forgetting the password is not a problem as long as you have the seed. I believe ranochigo gave u the best solution if u need any other help just pm me
Be careful with PMs here as well. This is nothing against coaltin. Just take care. |

I dont like the notion of locking threads once they are answered. It removes the chance for someone that finds it later (e.g. via google) to ask a follow up question. If you think someone is consistantly spamming, consider:
#1 ignoring them
#2 report them to the signature campaign manager (if applicable)
#3 report them to the staff, either directly or via one of the threads in meta

TrueCrypt is a good way to encrypt, double encrypt, and hide anything you want and it is also free to use. You could encrypt your entire computer if you wanted to or just a single partition.
It has also been tried and tested, and passed.
TrueCrypt is no longer developed and its developers have apparently taken down nearly everything related to TrueCrypt. luckily it is open source so there are forks of it. I recommend using VeraCrypt which is forked off of TrueCrypt. I think a good thing to do would be to GPG encrypt the text and then encrypt it with VeraCrypt for extra security. I read about the two forks but I don't know enough about them to make a suggestion on using them. In any way you should move away from TrueCrypt, esp. if you are using windows[1].

Sadasa asked me in the pm if I was dt, I said straight out "No"
Please look again at those pm's.
I did not claim I was part of the dt network.
#1 dont PM me, write here. #2 You asked for -25%, because it will give green trust. You failed to understand that it would only change from your perspective. However selling a bad deal with you will get more deals from others because you will have a green rating sounds very much like trust selling to me. OK, I admit I was in the wrong there. I am sorry for this. -snip- I believe you, rating removed. The neutral by suchmoon should be enough. A all out negative is probably a bit harsh indeed. |

10 Activity from the first 2 week set, then 14 activity for the second 2 week set so you would have 24 Activity as you can only gain a max of 1 Activity per day.
No, you get upto 14 points of "time" when posting once in an activity period. Activity is the minimum of your time points and your posts. As OP posted in two activity periods they have 28 time points. They also made 30 posts. The smaller number of the two is 28, thus their activity is 28. For a shorter answer see the post by Lutpin above yours. |

So I have about a 20% chance of legendary tomorrow per Shorena  20% seems excessively high, given that your activity is 812 now. Has Shorena explained the calculation somewhere? The range is 775 to 1030 (255 activity points) If the next activity is 812+14 = 826 then it's 51 points into the 255-point range, i.e. 20%. You can effectively rule out the 775 - 812 range (given that he hasn't become legendary until now). So the range for keithers currently is 813 to 1030 (217 activity points) He is going to gain 14 activity points in the next period. So the probability of him becoming legendary in the next period is 14/217 = 6.5% The probability I calculate is whther its among the first X activity points (as suchmoon calculated as well). Your approach would work as well. Ok. Then I guess that it is just keithers interpretation (that he has a 20% probability of becoming legendary when the activity period changes) which is incorrect. Its just a different view on things. They have a 20% chance to become legendary with all past updates since 774 activity including the next change. They have an 6.5% change to become legendary with the next change. I will include both numbers with the next update (tomorrow?). |

I only gave an offer for an exchange. He had a choice to refuse it.
Is there anything in error to ask if they want to go forward with this exchange?
I don't, if the exchange went successfully for both parties then I would give him a positive feedback, thus he would have a green rating to forward his trading prospects here.
You have no idea how the trust system works, do you? https://archive.is/9tVPq |

Quote me 1Mist case sensitive or 1Mystical case sensitive
1Mist - donation 1Mystica1 (there is no "l") - 0.3764 btc 1Mystica1 or 1MysticaL (whichever is found first) - 0.1882 btc. 1MysticaL - any case - 0.0135 btc
(Snippity Snip) @Timelord2067Had a think about the farming work out for week(s) at a time work: You ( shorena ) are contacted by a person wanting work that will take one or more weeks to solve. You contact me to see if I am interested and I send you a Part Public key of mine which you generate a key with the prefix (something memorable ) for example... 1TL2o67 or 12o67TL (the latter I estimate to take about 15 mins at 11MKeys/sec to reach 50% mark) You advise the person requesting work of this wallet address and they pay the full amount into that wallet. You advise me of the wallet address and I confirm payment via http://blockchain.info/address/12o67TLetcETC and begin mining with the details provided using the third parties Part Public Key. When I find the required solution, I send the found Part Private Key to you ( shorena ), you forward to the client who confirms it's validity. You then send me the part Part Private Key for the 1TL2o67 / 12o67TL wallet and from those funds I then send you a small token agreed to previously. Let me rephrase to make sure I understood correctly. Lets assume Alice wants a vanity address 1WoNDRLND (any case). #1 Alice gets a price from shorena. #2 shorena gets a public key from Alice ? Alice pays to <does not exist yet> #4 shorena send Timelord2067 Alice's pubkey #5 Timelord2067 sends shorena a prefix and public key for the payment address (e.g. 12o67) #6 shorena generates the vanity payment address 12o67examp1e1a1a1a#7 shorena asks Alice for payment to 12o67examp1e1a1a1a#8 once payment is confirmed,Timelord2067 starts searching for the address #9 etc... While I like the idea to use a vanity address for this. I think a 2-2 multi-sig wallet (e.g. with electrum) would be easier. Either of us has the addresses, but we can only spend the coins received together. This would simplify things as I could give Alice a payment address right away. Have spent last few days pondering how to rephrase what I wrote above - You've almost got it I've adjusted the order to what I'm meaning... Let's assume Alice wants a vanity address 1WoNDRLND (any case). - # 1 Alice gets a price from shorena.
- # 2 shorena gets a public key from Alice
- # 3
5 Timelord2067 sends shorena a prefix and public key for the payment address (e.g. 12o67) - # 4
6 shorena generates the vanity payment address 12o67examp1e1a1a1a - # 5
7 shorena asks Alice for payment to 12o67examp1e1a1a1a - # 6 Alice pays to
<does not exist yet> 12o67examp1e1a1a1a - # 7a Timelord2067 is advised of the wallet address 12o67examp1e1a1a1a (but not given the corresponding Part Private Key for this address)
- # 7b
4 shorena send Timelord2067 Alice's pubkey - # 8 once payment is confirmed,Timelord2067 starts searching for the address
- # 9 Timelord2067 sends shorena Alice's Part Private Key that he found to forward to Alice
- #10 Alice advises shorena that the Part Private Key works and is installed.
- #11 shorena sends Timelord2067 the Part Private Key for 12o67examp1e1a1a1a

Either of us has the addresses, but we can only spend the coins received together. This would simplify things as I could give Alice a payment address right away. TBH I've only heard about electrum in about the last month or so and know even less about it other than two wallets can deposit and withdraw from a third wallet?? Thanks for finishing/correcting, the problem I have with your approach is that Alice would have to wait for a payment address. She'd have to wait for her vanity address anyway, but the process is confusing enough as it is for some.
Sorry for the late reply I was away for a while. The amount is about right, thanks. I have not yet gotten a public key though. Not sure if anyone else made the address for you in my absence? If so, let me know who so I can transfer the funds. I made 1Lingga, and since its your topic, the donation is yours thanks |

Looks good, just made a few small adjustments, e.g. used " -" everywhere to indicate no limit as this was not consistent. Im not sure about the /2w, I think it was /bi-w before. I cant remember though so I left it.
thanks, added an asterisk.
Just a reminder and also its best to either move it to PYNC as although the campaign will open up new spots after the end of this period, it will most likely be filled within minutes. Another thing, does paying a significant amount of BTC for its signature campaign beforehand to a moderator count as something to move it to active or CFNP for that matter? Moved to CFNP as they are closed according to their thread. UPDATE: Thread re-opened, enrollment is currently closed, list is being updated shortly

Kurz-Anleitung:- Part 1 - 8 runterladen.
- Datei entpacken.
- [highlight]Entpackte Datei Bootstrap.dat in das Bitcoin-Verzeichnis verschieben.[/highlight]
- Bitcoin-Core starten.
- Fertig.

[ font=redressed][ size=3][ color=purple]Hallöchen, ich habe heute festgestellt, dass die Ortsbezeichnung vom bitcoin qt anscheinend nicht mehr im Verzeichnins von ...\appdata\roaming\... liegt sondern vielmehr in der Programmversion: 0.12.0 x64 im eigentlichen Installationspfad. Bei mir wäre dies nun: c:\program files\bitcoin. Kann ich nun die bootsrap.dat einfach so in dieses Verzeichnis rein kopieren oder geht dann etwas kaputt oder läuft schief? Nein, der Installationspfad ist nicht der Pfad des Datenverzeichnisses. %APPDATA%\Bitcoin ist weiterhin korrekt und die bootstrap.dat zu nutzen weiterhin Zeitverschwendung[1] Des Weiteren habe ich bisher noch auf einer Partition weitere Dateien von dem bitcoin qt, kann mich aber nicht mehr daran erinnern, wie ich dieses Verzeichnis und aus welchem Grund auch angelegt habe. Im Anhang habe ich dazu einmal 2 Bilder vorbereitet, damit Ihr wisst, wie ich das nun meine.
Das ist das Datenverzeichnis. Verschieben kannst Du es in dem Du z.B. -datadir=L:\Bitcoin beim Start übergibst. Indem Du z.B. die Verknüpfung entsprechend änderst. Ergeben hat sich diese Fragerei und das Schreiben des Posts aus dem Ergebnis, dass ich bitcoin qt installiert und auch in Gebrauch hatte, jedoch irgendwie beim Starten gestern, der Client mir eine Fehlermeldung bezüglich der Blöcke ausgespuckt hat.
Ich habe keine weitere Hilfe gefunden, an die ich mich anheften konnte und habe somit die Blockchain aus einem Thread bzw. Post hier erneut herunter geladen und wollte diese nun installieren (ca. 60GB). Kann mir da an dieser Stelle jemand weiterhelfen?
Nein, nicht ohne Fehlermeldung. Stumpf Daten löschen und neu runterladen ist im Allgemeinen auch keine gute Idee, im Datenverzeichnis befindet sich u.A. deine wallet.dat, also die private Schlüssel deiner Bitcoin. -Bilder-

Also ich drücke Dir die Daumen! How do I resend a transaction with extra fee? Bitcoin-qt users: Danke für die kurze Liste, die werde ich mir abspeichern. Bitte nicht!! Der 1. Schritt ist hoffnungslos veraltet, seit zapwallettxes gibt es so gut wie keinen Grund pywallet zu nutzen. Komisch... ich habe meine Wallet vor ca. einer Stunde geschlossen - da hatte die tx noch 0 / unconfirmed.
Habe sie dann nach einem Tipp mit -zapwallettxes geöffnet und schon hat die tx 9 Bestätigungen.
Weiß nicht ob das jetzt Zufall war oder ob es damit etwas zu tun hat - auf jeden Fall ist die Transaktion jetzt doch raus.
Je nach Priorität kann das schon hinkommen, die TX werden ja nie zufällig gewählt. Wenn überhaupt ist es Zufall das ein Miner der kostenlose TX akzeptiert einen Block findet. |

I don't want to support troll hardfork attempts like Classic, should banning every time I connect to Classic nodes help Core in some way?
After the fork they will most likely get banned as soon as they try to relay blocks over 1 MB to you (someone that actually read the code please correct me if needed). So Shorena, they may be banned by pereira4, but is that not the point at which the Bitcoin network splits in two, as all the classic nodes accept the larger block and the core nodes are still looking for the next block? The network is split with the fork, yes. One side is accepting blocks over 1 MB size (up to 2 MB) while the other side is rejecting these blocks as invalid and will ban nodes that consistantly send invalid blocks. Its most likely not an easy cut, but more like a messy tear as some blocks (those smaller than 1 MB) will still be valid on both sides. Due to the 750/1000 blocks needed for activation and the grace period it is however unlikely that there will many core nodes left afterwards. Is it possible to currently run a node and broadcast a 2MB block? Yes, it will not get accepted by your peers though. Will you get banned? Or is it even possible?
You will not get banned for sending one invalid block, but if you consistantly do so, your peers will ban you and you will have lost the connection to the network. |

how much RAM do you have, what are you running and what bitcoind version?
VPS #1 - 2GB, limited to the default 300MB that came with 0.12, no crashes since the update (March 1st)[1] Edit: I had constant problems with this node before upgrading to 0.12.VPS #2 - 6GB, limited to 1500 MB has not reached the limit since the last reboot (March 24th)[2] Home node - 16GB, limited to 1000 MB, barely runs long enough to fill the available memory. I think I left it running for 3 days once since the last update and it did not use more than 900MB. All given values are for memory used for TX. I dont track overal memory imprint, but whenever I check htop on the VPS's there is memory left "free" (used for caching). In fact I have trouble getting the 6GB VPS to go over 3 GB used. All run 0.12 64 bit. They VPSs are Ubuntu variants, the home node runs Win7. @knightdk could it be that you see higher memory use becasue you use test builds with additional logging?

Can anyone tell which Wallet with lowest transaction fee both desktop and web wallet.
Thanks
Bitcoin core allows you to send TX without fee. Whether or not that is a good idea is a different question. |

Then explain them the risk...
However, people don't. People that run/promote Ponzis and HYIPs are not interested in making sure their investors are safe, they are interested in making a profit. If everyone knew how Ponzis worked I'm sure they would get significantly less interest from new users. the problem is that it is allowed on this forum but red trusted...
and above all if truster see ponzi shemes and scam where no scam is the forum does more confuse that help...
Ponzis inevitably scam due to how they work. You will never find a truly 'legit' Ponzi, as it is impossible. The forum allows these schemes to be posted, however that does not mean that they are trustworthy. By members marking the people running/promoting these Ponzis, it shows that these users are untrustworthy and to use caution investing in the schemes. People are free to run and promote them, just as others are free to mark them as untrustworthy. Who can admit that every one whi has not proved hes innocence is guilty?
That is how it has to work on this forum, else truly innocent people get scammed. Especially since Bitcoin is irreversible, if users were to give people running websites like Ponzis the benefit of the doubt and assume their business model is viable they will inevitably be scammed (as the business model would not be viable and the coins would not be returned). If someone is running a site like this and they can prove the viability of the site's income then people will trust them. Otherwise, they cannot be trusted without innocent people losing their money. if I understand well: You agree that I am red trusted even if i have never run or promoted a ponzi sheme. You agree that I am red trusted just because people believe that I run a ponzi sheme and promote it. The funniest in this story is that i have never promised the single satoshi in profit... The only promise i have done is that I refund 100% of the investment after 100 days... How can i prove that I will give back the investisment? If I red trust you and ask you to prove that you will be honnest in the next 100 days...how can you prove it? (lol) And just saying that my disign is horrible and my English poor...is very poor for an complement of argument. It seems you have forgotten, so as a reminder if you can answer the remaining 3 out of 4 questions[1] I will remove the rating. You have demonstrated in the past that you are unable to unwilling to do so. I also offered you to find someone (e.g. one of your investors) that can explain your model to me. I have not been approached by anyone. All I ever read are your passive aggressive posts. [1] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1183602.msg12483785#msg12483785 |
