Interesting! Would you like to explain how this works or point me to a website / thread / article where it is explained? I am used to create vanity addresses on my own but 5+ custom digests cost to much time and electricity on a normal machine. Therefore I would consider to let addresses create from someone else if it is really possible to create it this way. If someone generates a vanity address for you, they have your private key for it. Therefore also have control of your coins that go to this address.  That is not necessarily true. It depends on how the address was generated. It is possible to generate a vanity address for someone without knowing what their private key is. If you want a more in depth explanation -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=81865.msg901491#msg901491For the simplest good intro into elliptic curve crypto -> https://media.ccc.de/v/31c3_-_6369_-_en_-_saal_1_-_201412272145_-_ecchacks_-_djb_-_tanja_lange (dont get fooled by the domain its in english) alt link (if you prefer youtube) -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6jTFxQaUJA |

staking new bitcoin address created with bitgo.com 3DrEzcoRbrxfEahCepQo2o64NxidYB9sjt This is the public half of the key BitGo has generated for this wallet. Data: xpub661MyMwAqRbcFoztRFeqBGTcxV5y3Z2o8zRdMa76CMz3theKTuyJe6oqdtFdwgM1dmZ4mCx ZhMhRiSEdp5fzJZB113d393v34QtQRHDu57J thanks I quoted your bitgo address and the half key of the wallet, is any way to verify this or just a quote is enough? There is no agreement on how to sign or verify pay to script hash addresses (those starting with a 3). The master public key however can be used to derive a large number of version 1 addresses which are commonly used to sign messages. In this case: 1oSk4mZbMfmtg1g1B9ofB9rBTGu8vaYhS 19tjMNcvUqmGr3X9PDZr5gdrm3B9u7GNW9 1Do3Rv11CpQa85WsLh6eBi2vAX2HCGgU9i etc. |

If someone generates a vanity address for you, they have your private key for it. Therefore also have control of your coins that go to this address. That is not necessarily true. It depends on how the address was generated. It is possible to generate a vanity address for someone without knowing what their private key is. Correct the method is called "split key vanity". Alice generates a private key and sends the corresponding public(!) key to Bob, who randomly generates private keys, combines the two public keys (most commonly adds them) and tests if the corresponding address matches the prefix. When the prefix is a match Bob sends the private key to Alice, who combines their own private key (only known to them) and the private key from Bob which creates an entirely new private key that has an addresses with the wanted prefix. Bob has no way to calculate the same private key without knowing the other part. For an attack Bob has 1 private key less to test. |

ich hab es mit addnode gemacht
die verbindug zu dem lan node steht ja und es ist egal ob er vom inet noch was zieht.
Es sollte halt schneller gehn.
Schreib mal in die bitcoin.conf, wenn Du 6 oder mehr GB Arbeitsspeicher hast. Bei weniger entsprechend kleiner. Es kommen noch ca. 1.5 GB für core hinzu, also bei 4GB versuchs mal mit 2048. Wenn Du fertig bist wieder entfernen oder auskommentieren. |

Would CHKROOTKIT application make my security even stronger , I learned by reading online its the best help against a rootkit, and a hacker only chance in Linux is only through rootkits?
I know 100% security doesn't exist, but I think this is the best security online.
A rootkit is just a mashed term for almost anything that has root access. Linux can be attacked on the user level, but its usually not effective. E.g. a keylogger would need root level access. I cant recommend CHKROOTKIT or any other software of that kind as Im not a big fan of anti virus solutions in general. The less software your machine has the less software can have a vulnerability. Keep the system as simple as possible, be careful what you install and keep your software up to date. If you want to use anti virus software use them from a different OS (e.g. from a clean boot CD/DVD/). |

i never used same address, and i do not have those addresses anymore. Alright, rating removed. Enjoy the bought account. account not sold. and even if it sold what is the problem ? admins here allow selling accounts. Yes, account trades are allowed, but my rating was not for you, but the previous owner. but its not sold, i was inactive and i back to use my account selling my stuff.
i can not see any problems, also i have not scam anyone.
Thanx for removing the rate.
your wallet was recently used so you have access to it. I also know which wallet you are using, so I know you can sign messages with it. |

I don't follow click bait... Give us a break down of what it says please?
Uh, isn't click bait those silly "news" stories? The web is made of links, it's up to you if you don't want to use them. Cheers! You're welcome to take it either way as you please... I see you posted this (FunFunnyFan is also Quickseller). https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=519804Is this something we can add to the list of know Alts of Quickseller? No, we cant, there is no strong evidence. |

I agree with the above comment.But recent discussions about Blocks being full and all the halving predictions,you must pay miner fees if you want your transactions to be accepted by the nodes.If not,they will appear under least priority over the transactions which pay sufficient amount of transaction fees.Mining is not profitable anymore ,its genuine you'd need to pay some miners fee .
No, you just have to accept that it will take longer. High priority TX are still possible to get confirmed without a fee. |

How my coins are gone, when you cannot have the seed ? Didn't understand that part, as no matter what part of keyloggers in Linux (which I think have 0 chances to come in my Pc) the seed is in another USB and was put there knowing for sure my PC was clean at that time.
Thats my definition of secure, but the more ideas in this thread the better.
If a thief have your wallet file and the password from the keylogger then they don't need the seed, they can simply make transactions from that wallet since they know the password. It isn't easy on linux machine but still anything is possible, to protect from that you should make a cold wallet, keep your coins there, make a watch only wallet on the machine which stays online and then just transfer your transaction from the watch only wallet to the cold one to sign it and bring it back to broadcast it. No thief can have my password in Electrum, if I lose it not even Electrum programmers can find it for me, of course I can recover my money via the seed.(premising that when I add the password my PC was clean, 100% sure about that) I have my seed in an HP USB 3.0 but I guess I should by at least 2 more. If you believe there is no chance that your machine will get infected you need to improve your knowledge. The chances are lower for Linux than they are for windows, but the chance is never zero. Just because you are no target, does not mean your defenses are good. The seed is stored in your wallet as well. Every time you spend coins the wallet is unlocked and your password is in your systems memory. If the system is infected the attacker has the password as soon as you enter it. Btw Im not trying to convince you to change your setup (Im using electrum (hot & cold) myself). I just want you to be aware that 100% security is not possible. |

Sorry, but why is a batch file wrapper easier to use than the actual wallet?

I have always had problems with Bitcoin core wallet. I opened my wallet the other day to synch it and it was 27 Weeks out.....I let it run overnight and throughout the day yesterday and i'm down to 24 Weeks out.
What in the hell am i doing wrong? It's not my Firewall it's not my Internet connection.......I have always had a problem running this at it's dead slow speed.
Is there another Wallet that is safe and i wouldn't have to worry about this garbage core that i have always had problems with? I just can't use this Garbage wallet anymore.
Suggestions?
Thanks
I assume you actually want to solve your problem and not change wallets. There are a few possible bottlenecks #1 CPU #2 Disk (HDD/SSD) #3 Internet speed. in order to understand whats slowing you down, we need to know which is the slowest part. Does the bitcoin core internal network monitor (if you are using the GUI) show constant download or peeks from time to time? Which CPU are you using and what load do you observe? Do you use a mechanical disk or a SSD? |

My exact report on your post was:
offtopic to the thread, should have been a report
By posting that someone is posting shit you yourself start posting offtopic shit that is derailing the thread. Use the moderation, post in one of the existing threads (e.g. for Yobit spammers) or send a direct PM to one of the admins and/or global mods you think will handle it.

Thank you, that just empower my vision, Electrum is the most secure online wallet of all, especially if run in a much stronger than windows environment.
That certainly depends on your definition of secure. Keep my coins here as the seed is in a usb i only have put once in my Linux system, password is a complete sentence which I remember so I guess for the moment I am secure. Never used the seed again, no matter what.
The thing you are missing is that there are keyloggers for Linux the same as there are for Windows. So if your machine is compromised your coins are gone no matter if its on Linux, Windows or Mac. |

I actually think it's perfectly okay to post in year old topics. If you found the thread and you'd be interested in discussing, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. If a user had any issues with an old thread they created and didn't want anyone posting in it anymore, they should've either deleted it or completely locked it. If they don't, it's still up for discussion. I actually don't understand when some people are aggravated by people that bump year old threads. I see nothing wrong with that. A topic is a topic. A comment is a comment. Let a voice be heard.
Mods do, but if you are posting crap you will get banned. Most people bumping old threads have nothing to do add, but crap. |

Hm. I actually noticed some users with gif avatars so I do believe they're accepted.
Animated gifs used to be allowed in the past. They are no longer. Those that have an animated gif as avatar now, have had it for a very long time. What happened? Why aren't animated avatars allowed anymore? Hm. Actually, I think it has something to do with how much bits are occupied. For example, when you become a newbie on this site, you're not even allowed to post pictures. I think the head of the site mentioned they didn't want newcomers posting too many photos for that reason. But still at that logic, they would have made everyone stop occupying gif avatars.... I really am not quite certain on the matter of the situation here. Perhaps the head of the website isn't realizing there's still people occupying gif avatars for some reason. #1 The admin is theymos #2 all avatars had been disabled for security reasons #3 I highly doubt the forum is running out of disk space. There are simpler solutions anyway, e.g. dont store all deleted posts ever created. #4 Newbies are no longer allowed to post pictures because some used it to spam #5 If you no longer want animated gifs, is it fair to remove the few already established over the years? |
