You probably want to ask in the Mining support section, somewhere in here, I think:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=76.0

edit:  They moved it now.

Are you checking the C drive in addition to the F drive?  The Windows screenshot only shows F.

For the Mac version, are you still running 10.6.8 or did you try with a current version of the OS?

Again, what is in the _Bitcoin-MAIN folder?

Have you started Bitcoin on the Windows machine so it could create the directory etc? 

Once you have it running on the Windows machine, you would use your older wallet.dat instead of the newly created one.

Also, what is in the _Bitcoin-MAIN folder?

Glad it helped.  ;-)

Good luck with the project

This.

Makes about as much sense as saying it will tarnish the reputation of tcp/ip or of the Internet.  Or the Lindbergh kidnapping tarnished the reputation of cash.

Without more information, it is impossible to know what you are talking about.

p.s.  What language are you using?

Did you look at this?
https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-reference#gettransaction


And these:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_timestamp
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

Those might help, but beware that the times are not exact due to the distributed nature of Bitcoin.  Things can happen like block 101 might have a "time" earlier than block 100.

You can always sign up on the Halloween.com forums and tip people with bitcoin:

Not really a promo, but it does promote both bitcoin and Halloween!

Look here as an example, really bad idea and this explains why:

Hi,
Perhaps you can explain what you the problem is a little better.  I presume by "blockchain wallet" you mean blockchain.info?  Bitcoin "wallets" aren't ever "down" as long as the bitcoin network exists so I am not sure what you mean there.  

Are you asking about the +1.31312000 and this transaction:? https://btc.blockr.io/zerotx/info/3afb1086c87676234b6cbfa4db320cd76ea58fa7c26f3ba00031d8e6b3ab2d3c

And the fact that it doesn't show up at blockchain.info?  It shows up other places, so it looks like the blockchain.info service is having problems again.  They have been unreliable a lot recently.

If you can be a little clearer about where you were sending from and two and provide the transaction #s etc, it would be helpful

 

Is this Windows, Linux, Mac?  (I'm guessing not Mac since you said right-click and that is less common).

Are  you starting it from your desktop by double clicking?  From the command line?

Which version?

edit:  This might want to be in Tech support vs here.

I would think running your own Bitcoin Core over tor and querying it would make the most sense.  If you are running a "darknet marketplace" using someone else's API sounds like the perfect way to leak information.

And you definitely don't want to use a previously shared USB as if it has been handed around, it could have picked up stuff along the way too.  (e.g. things like BadUSB).  And of course, beware even of USB cables...   

How are you starting it?

Like this?

Back in the 1970s and 1980s, computers were complicated.  The Mac and Windows helped to make them less so - less need to know arcane command line commands.  Back in the early 1990s, the internet was complicated.  Then you had the WWW for the internet - little need to know ftp, gopher, telnet or the like.  Many in the industry knew that computers had the power to change the world, particularly when networked (e.g. see Metcalfe).  I think bitcoin is at the stage pre-GUI or pre-WWW.  

Were there use cases for a computer and network for the average person in 1975?  Not really.  Were there in the early 1980s?  There were hints of it (e.g. Viewtron), but not compelling, easy to use ones that had significant value.  Even in the mid 1990s when the web was just starting to grow a lot, you didn't have online banking, many news sites etc.  It took time.

When bitcoin becomes really easy to use with a compelling use case for your grandmother, it will be able to take off.  What will that be?  Certainly remittance payments are valuable.  Tipping others online too.  Donating to charities that are "foreign" (to wherever you are located) and avoiding having a middleman take a cut to management.  Other micro-payments.  When it is as easy for a grandmother to send $10 to their grandchild in bitcoin as in cash or a check, you'll have a big wave of adoption.

(And next year with the halving in 9-10 months, if there is a price increase it will likely see a spike in user adoption again).

How do you define who is the real owner?

I've been running a full node for quite a while now.  It runs me about $90/80 euros per year, it is usually in the top 10-15 on that leaderboard, although I am not sure if that is at all relevant or very useful. (4 Cores, 4GB RAM (5GB burst), 150GB RAID10, etc). Running a full node doesn't have to be expensive and it doesn't have to be difficult.  Just good to keep security updates applied regularly.

I don't believe that the fees would impact my decision whether to run it one way or another though.  Sure, if it was on my phone (give it 5 years and a phone might be able to handle it), but unless the fees are more significant, for me, they wouldn't play a role in me running or not running a node.  I'm sure not everyone would have the same opinion.

After 5 years, I may keep it going or I may not.  It isn't the cost, it is just a question of time to check it every so often and the lack of fees doesn't play a role.

(I doubt any fee for full nodes will happen any time soon from a consensus perspective anyway, though.)
