I am on windows I used multibit
Hit Win+R, it opens the run window, enter %APPDATA% and click "ok" the explorer will open at a certain folder which should contain one named "Multibit". In this folder you should find your wallet files. Uninstalling the wallet does not remove these files. And if for some reason this doesn't find it, having the wallet words will be helpful in restoring it - if that is what you meant by "password". |

I will recommand Linux OS for running node, easy,better,secure and faster then windows
you can work on both commandline and GUI interface
I see that Linux is the most preferred OS to run a full node, but what distro would that be? The most secure and easy to use, of course. I'm looking into Tails or Ubuntu, but I don't know if those distros are good for the task. Personally, I like Ubuntu for it. |

I think the key difference here is between burn being done intentionally whereas people losing coins due to hardware issues, lost keys etc are unintentional. There was a thread somewhere on here trying to detail lost coins at one point.

You could use something like changetip.com
No pin code, but it might suit some purposes

I find it amazing that this behavior didn't taint the entire investigation. Having one of the main agents doing this casts a lot of doubt on the veracity of their investigation.

1. This seems very off-topic for this sub-forum.
2. You can see if anyone is (or has been) exploiting flaws but writing a quick tool to count and trace all the bitcoins in existence and see if it matches up with the total it should be mathematically. That will answer the question as to whether flaws have been exploited in the past definitively.
3. There is no way to "gain money without losing other people's money in the process". If you inflate the currency through creating bitcoin out of thin air everyone else's coin's values drop proportionally. E.g. if there are 14 million bitcoins in existence and I create 14 million more, what will happen to the price? I don't believe it would be stable or increase.

Are there any bitcoin network flaws that can be exploited to gain money without losing other people's money in the process.
Query: if there were, would bitcoin be worth anything? |

Syncing with a fresh Bitcoin XT didn't work either.
Now I'm out of ideas.
Windows 10 bug maybe?
If you can boot into an older version on the same hardware, it would be a good test to see if that solves it. |

He hasn't taken a deep-dive into the protocol, as you can see from his quote regarding 51% attacks
I agree. He seems far from an expert on bitcoin, though you would think he would have more knowledge. Though maybe he's looking at it from a neutral position and we are biased slightly as I guess a 51% attack could happen so it could be an issue though likely wont. And if that's his only issue with bitcoin its not too bad at all. I would agree. You can know a lot of IT, a lot about encryption but if you haven't really looked in lots of detail about the protocol, it is easy to be misinformed. |

If you look at even the v0.1.0 source code (early 2009) you will see the term coinbase in various places - one might say it is at the base/beginning/foundation/root of each 'coin' and is the first transaction in the block, the base of the block. BTW, Coinbase.com definitely took their name from the code, not vice versa. See e.g. main.cpp, main.h, ui.cpp: For example from main.cpp: // Coinbase is only valid in a block, not as a loose transaction
if (IsCoinBase())
return error("AcceptTransaction() : coinbase as individual tx");
if (!CheckTransaction())
return error("AcceptTransaction() : CheckTransaction failed");
// Do we already have it?
...
// First transaction must be coinbase, the rest must not be
if (vtx.empty() || !vtx[0].IsCoinBase())
return error("CheckBlock() : first tx is not coinbase");
for (int i = 1; i < vtx.size(); i++)
if (vtx[i].IsCoinBase())
return error("CheckBlock() : more than one coinbase");

Also, this is not the current version. :-) With the last core update to Bitcoins wallet (v0.10.2), I can no longer get more than 8 connections to the network. Most of the time I get 0-5, which with the size of the ledger, will take months to sync. Bitcoin was given rights to pass through the Windows 7 firewall when the update was installed, so I do not understand why it is unable to connect to more than 8 nodes max.
I am running other cypto currencies wallets (Litecon / Dogecoin) with no issues connecting to the max nodes for sync, even following their software updates.
I've tried -maxconnections=##, but it appears that it is not a command line option with Bitcoin Core version v0.10.2 (64-bit).
I'm running Windows 7 64bit (fully updated), Bitcoin Core version v0.10.2 (64-bit), though 2wire Gateway DSL modem. No Virus protection when running wallets sync.

Try under the "Help" menu...near the top of the screen, left.

Bitcoins are either spent or unspent, so there is no "bounce back". So I wouldn't stress about losing coins yet :-)
If you know the transaction id of the first transaction, that would be a start to see what is going on. You might also try looking at a different block explorer to be sure.
But one thing to do (as you had wondered) is to let Bitcoin Core fully sync since when you did that first transfer you may have sent a small part to the new wallet and the rest when to a change address. Since Core is not fully sync'd, that might be an issue. Hard to say for sure without looking at more info.
:-)

Competition is a great thing. Particularly between governments. This is a perfect examples.

Are you running the current version? Does it show how many connections you have? SSD?  |

If you are talking about bitwallet.cc, then the question about your user name and password would best be directed to them. Is that what your receipt mentions?
If you have the public address and the private key, you can use them with other software wallets. And btw, using the public key, you can verify the balance at places like blockr.io or blockchain.info.
Whatever you do, don't share your private key because that will give anyone access to the coins.
