100-address trap? I'm not aware of such things, is it an exploit of some sorts? Private key extraction through social engineering? It's not an exploit. It means that backups are only good for 100 transactions from the time of backup. After that bitcoin core generates new private keys that are not in the backup you made so you must make a fresh backup. If you fail to do that and the wallet file on your hard drive is corrupted you lose money. What's the argument against moving Bitcoin Core to HD? Are the principle developers against it for some reason?
One of the principle developers invented the concept of HD wallets so they can't be more in favour of it. |

If toasters and fridges start mining bitcoins then what do they need humans for? They can earn their own living and that'll be the start of the end of the human race!

i wasnt particuarly thrilled that they were offshore.
Please mention your country so that only developers who are on-shore apply for this work. |

I just installed it so now its:- root@Squall:/# whereis sudo
sudo: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/lib/sudo /usr/share/man/man8/sudo.8.gz
root@Squall:/#
sudo is used to execute commands as another user. It's used on servers where root login is disabled and instead people login as an unprivileged user and use sudo to execute commands as root user. In your case since you are already logged in as root you can omit the use of sudo. Commodo has some excellent documentation that you should refer to instead of asking on random forums for help: https://support.comodo.com/index.php?/Default/Knowledgebase/Article/View/637/37/certificate-installation-apache--mod_sslIf you need someone to install it for you then PM me and I'll do it for a reasonable fee. |

Electrum testnet would require a testnet electrum server as well.
The chief dev has said he uses real coins for testing.

If you are not seeing any addresses after a restore then that means there is a problem with the electrum server you are connected to. So open your old wallet, change to a different server and then try doing a restore again.

I'm using Ubuntu, here what I have done:
The .exe file is for windows users. You should follow the instructions for linux and download the source tarball. That is signed by ThomasV. |

how do i download the page?
You can save it using your browser or use git clone: https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/tree/v2.9.8It's all self-contained in one html page. You could save it if you like but if you are going online using tails anyway then might as well visit bitaddress.org to load the page and then disconnect from the net. |

Oh yes i forgot to note that its a mini private key actually. So is it so that it cannot be imported to electrum as it is? Do i need to decrypt it or something? If so then i didnt realize that.
So simply put, everything i said + its a mini key, the kind that begins with an S, just like in that link it is described. Do i do something with that?
You can only import private keys in Wallet Import Format (WIF). You can convert to WIF using the wallet details tab of https://www.bitaddress.org . You can download this page and run it offline. It uses client side javascript for everything. |

Further clarification: In the FAQ it says (about version 2.0, though) that you cannot import private keys to a seed wallet, the same thing was said in the previous topic where i asked for help. It was said instead that i should do as it is in the FAQ as well, creating a new wallet by restoring a wallet from seed, with the private key typed in as the seed. However, it simply disappears after pressing next and no new addresses have appeared in my electrum client, as if i did not do the whole process at all.
Seed is not the same as private key. Restore is done using seed not a private key. Please answer my question above about what you are referring to as a private key. Is it really a private key or something else? |

Why do you think this is spam? Im just trying to use my bitcoins, been trying for so long im starting to feel pretty stupid.
The version is 1.9.8, the version that comes with tails.
When i go to wallet>private keys>import and i enter the private key, it says error and that it could not be imported.
Private keys in WIF begin with 5, L or K. More details about what they look like: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Private_key#Base58_Wallet_Import_formatIs this what you are referring to as the private key? |

Have you considered using sqlite? I just looked it up and it is ACID compliant. |
|
|
|
EDIT: I still have an old electrum.dat if that matters.
You could just have opened the old wallet file using file > open. |
|
|
|
|
Is this a genuine request for help or spam? If this is a genuine request then tell us what version of electrum you are using?
For pre 2.0 versions you can import by going to wallet > private keys> import. For 2.x its wallet > private keys> sweep.

Instead of using ssss you should create a multisig electrum wallet. The advantages are:
- All the private keys are never on the same device so the wallet can't be compromised from the outset.
- The mnemonics have checksums in them so that protects you from typos and helps with seed recovery if you have only a partial seed.
- No need to use external tools. You use native electrum functionality.

Hi all, I have asmall problem. Now the MPKs in the latest version do not seem to be in hex. And after they are converted they seem to break compatibility with php addr_gen. So I wanted to ask if there were drastic changes in BIP0032 or is there something I am doing wrong here. Thanks for the help.
what php tool are you using? mpk are not represented with hexadecimal in bip32 I have been using it for years now. I converted the string to hex using bintohex (php) but the code doesn't work anymore with the output. So I thought maybe this is a new different more efficient or whatever implementation of BIP0032. That code hasn't been updated to support bip32. You can use bitwasp's code instead: https://github.com/Bit-Wasp/bitcoin-phpBe warned, though, that it has a lot of dependencies. AFAIK there is no compact bip32 version like Rusnak's addrgen for php. |

What do you guys think is my best option for storing 3 Bitcoins for the long run?
Put them in a jar and place it on the mantle piece. |

Electrum 2.0.x is fully capable of using 1.9.8 wallet files. As a precaution you can backup your wallet file before the upgrade. But once you've installed 2.0.x you don't have to restore your wallet from seed. Just run electrum and it'll open your old wallet file.
