2241  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: receiving addresses on: November 29, 2017, 04:44:05 PM
Does Bitcoin Core latest version show all receiving addresses previously used before it syncs the blockchain?  Or do more show once it fully syncs?
What about versions from 2012-2013?




Yes, it will, if you explicitely look for them. Simply run
Code:
listaddressgroupings

I believe they'll only generate more adresses if your keypool is empty/almost empty, so that depends on how much transactions you've done. I'm not entirely sure when it starts to generate more adresses, but i believe there's a 100, or 1000 default pregenerated ones.

2243  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: What is Coin Burning on: November 27, 2017, 08:54:41 PM
Coin burning is actually called proof of burn. Proof of burn is a protocol used by various altcoins to reduce the current available supply, whereby a specific portion of coins in circulation is sent to a wallet no one has access to (This is mainly used in ICOs). This  eliminates these coins from being spendable, although they will remain to be a part of all of the existing coins ever to be generated. Proof of Burn transactions are also recorded on that cryptocurrency’s blockchain, providing  proof that the coins would never be used to transact again.
If I understand what you said the ICO or coin owner send the coin to an address which no one have access to in other to increase their coin total circulating supply on the coin capital market so that the massive circulation we get the attention of investor?

No. Quite the opposite actually, it is done to remove/ lower the total circulating supply. thus making the coin more scarce/rare.

I guess companies also do it if their ICO didn't sell out the 100% of available tokens, they'll just burn the ones which weren't sold. ( In order to be fair to investors etcetera.)

2244  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Where Is Blockchain Data Stored During Download? on: November 27, 2017, 07:58:04 PM
What MacOS version are you running?

A common issue i believe is that the ~/Library folder gets hidden from both the finder and indexer.

To fix this, do the following:

Quote
shift + ⌘ (command) + G which will GO to a folder, then paste in this location:

~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin

Not sure if you've tried this yet, but you should.


OR, you've installed bitcoin core a long time ago when they weren't using ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin as the default location.
2245  Other / Meta / New Gold member rank? on: November 27, 2017, 06:30:51 PM
I see that, next to the "Copper" Membership, there's now also a Gold member tag.

The only one which i can find that is wearing it right now is hilariousandco, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=164822

Not sure since when he has it, but i don't think i've seen it before. Is this going to be a new donator rank or?


Also, if you are currently Legendary +  Copper rank, your "bitcoin star counter" will be bugged, and it will give you the same ones as a normal Member.

Not sure if this is done intentionally because of a lack of space, or if it simply overwrites it?



See u/Blazed for example:
2246  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is paper wallet public address safe for reuse? on: November 27, 2017, 05:50:47 PM
I don't think that there is an issue in single wallet address. It just helps you to prevent trackers from tracking your financial information and activities. However, if you are worried about using single paper wallet address then you can save it to your Blockchain.info account as a watch only address and create another web wallet with the dynamic addresses to receive funds and then transfer to your paper wallet either directly or through a mixer to avoid others to track your information.

There's also a security issue i believe.

Once you make a transaction from an adress, your public key becomes known, which means a hacker/cracker will only need your private key to get access to your funds.

If you had used a new adress, they wouldn't had either of the keys, until you spend, but the bitcoin would already be transacted by then.

As of currently this isn't really an issue, but it could become one in the future if computing power increases ( Quantum computing ).

I don't think that there is an issue in single wallet address. It just helps you to prevent trackers from tracking your financial information and activities. However, if you are worried about using single paper wallet address then you can save it to your Blockchain.info account as a watch only address and create another web wallet with the dynamic addresses to receive funds and then transfer to your paper wallet either directly or through a mixer to avoid others to track your information.

Don't see the why do I need to add the paper wallet's address as a watch-only address? As I understood, your suggestion is to first receive money with the online wallet, and then send them to the paper wallet myself. Such that only I operate with the paper wallet's public address directly? But this would double the transaction fees, as I know.

No, he means that you simply import the adress of your paper wallet into blockchain.info (https://blog.blockchain.com/2016/05/31/how-to-use-watch-only-addresses/), although there isn't really a reason to.. You're not going to spend the funds anyway for a long time, right?
2247  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: What is Coin Burning on: November 27, 2017, 03:30:32 PM
And how can we check that the adress has no PK?


If i recall correctly:

Usually this is done by using the base58 encoding to create something unique such as 1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSend8MUo1T, which would be impossible to generate on a normal wallet, due to the amount of hashpower that would be needed to create an adress like this.
2248  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can i re-use BTC adress in my case? on: November 27, 2017, 02:41:16 PM
You didn't explain why ypu want to reuse an address.

1. It is possible to re-use addresses, though there is rarely a good reason.
2. Unless I'm missing something, Electrum doesn't let you specify the change address.
3. The size of a transaction does not depend on which addresses are used.
2.
It does actually, simply go to Electrum -> Preferences -> Change adresses, and simply untick it, and it should work/ always send the coins back to the adress they were originally sent from.

This was added as a commit in https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/commit/e123774ea8d2b9f30c958c7710cfe797bb7cd4b2, before that, it would still be possible using the command line.


If you want to actually set it to a custom change adress, you should check this out -> https://www.reddit.com/r/Electrum/comments/7bzq7w/is_it_possible_to_define_a_custom_change_address/dpm515j/

What with accounts banned by bitcointalk?
I got my old account which I didn't used for more than 2 years and when I loged back, started posting they deleted it. Probably they was thinking it's stolen. Account  name was robertsu and now don't exist at all.
I contacted moderator's directly because I can't fill template with my old data doesn't exist.
Anyone have same situation?

As far as i know, they don't delete accounts because they were "Stolen" you either copy pasted or made alot of effortless posts. Which got the accout permanently banned, or nuked.

There's no way to get it back.

If you're sure you did nothing wrong, you should open up a thread in this section and ask a moderator why it got banned/nuked, but i don't think you'll get it back.
2250  Other / Meta / Re: Hacked Bitcointalk account on: November 26, 2017, 09:04:11 PM
It didn't help actually :/, anyone know other ways how can I get back account ?

If you've followed the above instructions, you still need to wait days up to weeks for an admin to respond.

Either way, if you aren't able to follow them, then no, there is no way to get your account back and it is probably PERMANENTLY lost.
2251  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can i re-use BTC adress in my case? on: November 26, 2017, 08:41:44 PM
Yes, this is possible.

Although i wouldn't recommend it as it poses a "huge" risk to your privacy, and that of the bitcoin network. ( due to everyone knowing who owns what).

See https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/12746/can-a-bitcoin-transaction-have-the-same-address-for-input-and-output?rq=1

This transaction for example is using both the change and spent adress as one adress -> https://blockchain.info/tx-index/b345c51064074f5d6c0e11187326567765eb4fa3236ca1be440ccb5745775238

2252  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Nano S and Trezor derivation paths for BCH and BTG on: November 26, 2017, 05:05:07 PM
Hi,

can you please tell me what are the derivation paths for Bitcoin Cash and Gold in Trezor and Ledger Nano S? I don't seem to be able to google that info.

It is critical for me (before I move the founds) that I don't get dependant on any one vendor and in case of hardware failure I can recreate the wallet on the other device.

Marginal note is that it is very strange or maybe even suspicious  that the HW manufacturers don't openly publish that information


noob here...how does one set up the ledger nano s for BTG?

Do you simply want to trade it or store it?

This guide explains pretty well how to claim / store it on your ledger, but it is not meant to import private keys, if you have your BTG in another wallet, you will need to transfer them.

See https://coinsutra.com/bitcoin-gold-ledger-wallet/




thank you...i've been mining electroneum for a few days, but BTG seems to be more profitable with my hardware

i found a good tutorial and got the Nano S to have BTG

Question: Does the Ledger Wallet need to be open while mining?



No, you can receive coins on said adress whenever you want, transactions are not dependent on whether or not you have your ledger open, but rather if the network / miners are working.

Your ledger nano S will simply sync when you reopen it again, and it will show you all your balance. (If there was/has been a new transaction).

2254  Other / Meta / Re: NOOB JAIL - should be reconsidered asap. on: November 26, 2017, 04:51:06 PM
every thread is getting over run by bots

noob jail for 100 posts and manual approval to exit needs to be brought back else the entire board will be over run with bots and threads full of comments that are not remotely relevant to the topic of the thread.
Do you imagine, how much additional work forum staff would get to approve/reject every new post made by newbies? It sounds like a goid idea only for smaller and less active forum. Maybe it would be better to allow to post only in beginners & help board and if you want to post in other boards, you will have to pay a fee. Something similar like Copper member rank.
Hows that fair to newbies like me?I suggest you do an ID verification in every accounts so that it will be less trouble for the mods to identify bots if theres really bots.
ID verification on Bitcoin forum? You must be kidding. Bitcoin users prefer to stay anonymous. And these spam posts are mostly made not by bots, but by newbies and account farmers.

They'll never do that, because bitcointalk.org would simply dig its own grave.

They would give ( from an aspect of the administrator's side of things) themselves an unnecessary amount of work, and decrease both their active userpool and visitors dramatically, which will result in less adrevenue, less signature campaigns ( which again would result in less spammers/less posters).

There's also a good amount of real posters who dedicate so much time to this forum/help people because of the monetary reward. These will slowly disappear aswell.
2255  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to claim my BTG? on: November 26, 2017, 04:01:06 PM
This is basically my situation.

I had some bitcoin in my blockchain.info wallet and I kept it there as they said it needed to be there on the day of the BTG fork. I do have a private key which a friend figured out for me.
Now it seems that my blockchain.info wallet does not support bitcoin gold. I tried to find some information on what to do to be able to claim my BTG or even if it's possible at all, but cant find any concrete info.
I read somewhere that I can transfer my wallet to a wallet that does support BTG. I heard the hardware wallet Ledger nano does support BTG. So if I buy a ledger nano would I be able to claim my BTG on there? If yes, please tell me how.

Please help me out here. If my story is missing any info, let me know.

Thank you in advance.


If they support it, then yes, you should simply be able to import your private keys and the balance should show up.

There's dozens of guides out there for the ledger wallet already, https://coinsutra.com/bitcoin-gold-ledger-wallet/

EDIT: TIL, importing it is simply not possible.
2256  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Cheapest transaction fees? on: November 26, 2017, 03:05:30 PM
do you mean cheapest transaction fees on withdrawal?
if so, then I think poloniex is the cheapest with 0.0001 BTC (10k sats)
most other exchangers charge minimum 0.001 BTC (100k sats)
if you're transferring between exchanger you can do via doge to save on fees

Poloniex requires you to verify your ID, and they have been doing some pretty shady stuff recently, so i wouldn't trust them too much to be honest.
I'd like to know a exchange which won't require your ID to withdraw, because that is pretty much against the whole nature of crypto.
Not if you have a "legacy" account.

I made my account a while back, and except for my email +real name + phone number, they didn't ask for any verification.

I can withdraw up to 2000 USD a day with it.
Same goes with bittrex, but i think theirs is even unlimited.
2257  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: About Malware Hivecoin on: November 26, 2017, 01:56:34 PM
As far as I know, there is no exchange using coinhive miner. And pretty much adblocks can block it.


So, why Cobinhood there is no fee...

Are you talking about https://cobinhood.com/ ICO?

I'd say that they're probably making that much money off their ICO, that there's no need for any fees in the near future.

Also, i believe they have told themselves that they will "underwrite" ICO's in order for them to generate revenue in the future.


Quote
I actually asked their "customer service" what the tokens do. This was the response....

"If you're a COBINHOOD ICO participant, then you will receive COB tokens which give you exclusive VIP privileges in COBINHOOD. When COBINHOOD underwrite ICOs, COB token holders will have the privilege to get future ICO tokens at lower rates than normal ICO participants.And the best part is, the actual rate may be as low as ZERO!" -Ken

I responded- "to clarify, all I get is a discount on future alt coins?"

Ken-"yes."

Crypto wallet. Independent wallet with support for different currencies. With multiply increased protection. There is a hypotension on the creation of a purse (INDEPENDENT FROM ALL). To test the hypothesis, you need funds for a trip to Moscow. And a consultation of specialists on cryptography and information protection. Consultations of the architect. And the formation of the road map of the project. The project has no owner and no financing. He must become independent, To protect the purse holders.

What? Things like these already exist, see jaxx.io and Coinomi + / Exodus. Surely some improvements could be made, but these wallets fulfill most ideas you just pitched.

2260  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: What does "unspent" mean in the Blockchain? on: November 25, 2017, 07:24:14 PM
Ah now i get it. So the coins are unspent from my side? But why didnt they show up in the address i sent them to? Any suggestions?

Bitcoin works by unspent outputs. You can only send money if you have unspent outputs. You get these when other people send you money, and then sum of them is your Bitcoin balance.

Sry but im new and dont really understand what you are saying... Still dont understand why the money isnt showing up in my Wallet when they were sent successfully.

That has to be an issue with your wallet, it has nothing to do with the unspent / spent, as the coins are showed as received on blockchain.info

What wallet are you using if i may ask?
