Hast du vielleicht diesen Virus der den Zwischenspeicher auf eine kopierte Bitcoinadresse überprüft und dann diese mit einer des Hackers ersetzt? So dass du zwar deine kopiert aber eine andere weitergegeben hast?

Ansonsten müsste der Seed das wiederherstellen. Wenn nicht hast du die Adresse direkt mit einem Private Key importiert?

Ich denke das Problem der Altcoins ist dass sie einfach nur Anlage- und Spekulationsobjekt sind. Sie haben kaum Nutzen als Zahlungsmittel. Bzw haben sie es sehr schwer im etablierten Zahlungsmarkt. Selbst Bitcoin hat es ja schon schwer den Sprung zu schaffen. Altcoins haben da kaum eine Chance. Und wenn ein Zahlungsmittel nicht als Zahlungsmittel fungiert dann ist es nur ein Spekulationsobjekt. Und praktisch tot wenn niemand die Coin als Pump- and Dump entdeckt.

Unfortunately a compromise needs to be meet between wanting to go all on-chain and wanting to stay decentralized.

If you want to have all on chain decentralization of nodes is lost. This is the least wanted possibility. Therefore, we must do all things possible to not end up like that.

I want Bitcoin to scale to global level payments, and it seems something like LN is the most realistic possibility.

So? Do you think Satoshi was stupid when he believed in bitcoin being a worldwide currency of way more transactions? Did i somewhere miss the point where he wrote that at one point we need to cripple bitcoin down and use a crutch like lightning network only to let it work somehow? Roll Eyes

You realize that satoshi wanted so many transactions to happen that it could replace the blocksize reward? Bitcoin alone. No crutch like LN.

Man, i don't get this so obvious side interests showing up. It's like an advertising company spreading fear of centralization, spam attacks and whatever. Well, i must admit it is somewhat successfull since it seems some people believe it.

Most blocks are just half full after all this time. We have a few years until we have to raise the limit. No need to rush in to it

you're really not very smart if you think we have several years before we hit the limit.

The adoption rate of any technology, including bitcoin, is exponential.

So we don't have nearly as much time as you think.

So what do you suggest? Surely not a linear increase in block size? Or should we make it exponential as well?

I suggest dropping that limit completely. Fighting spam with minimum fees and such. There simply is no need for crippling bitcoin that way. There was no problem with full blocks until the spamming started. And the spamming would not have been started with unlimited blocks. Way too expensive and spam would be useless.

Do you understand the consequences an unbounded block size would have?

Such a decision would inevitably lead to a sudden and surely exponential increase in the cost of running a full node.

Do you want Bitcoin to be run in datacenters?

Well well, again the story of the suddenly appearing spamtransactions hundred fold of the actual amount of transactions.

Where should these transactions come from suddenly? They never happened since satoshie proposed the 1MB block size limit. They only happen now when it is financially somehow rewarding to spam the network. Be it for raising the fees for miners, and getting some or all of your investment back, or to promote the need or nonneed of a block size increase.

I think there are more clever ways to deal with spam. I mean why should someone spam 20 MB blocks? It would be stupid and useless because the next block would be 20MB and that's it. The network will work like it ever did. And the spammer only lost money.

All this fearmongering... Roll Eyes

And centralization? There are already ways to be a node without having to store the full blockchain. As well as mining became centralized to the point that the might miners have over bitcoin should be not acceptable for a decentralized currency. But it happens and is not avoidable.

I always wonder how someone can stay around and claim that we need 1MB blocks, knowing, that it will kill bitcoin with unconfirming transactions and high fees, and is trying to cramp the protocol in a cage that is way too small for it already. That is so backwardsighted, it's unbelieveable. Well, except one assumes other monetary interests behind. Roll Eyes

You are right: https://blockchain.info/charts/avg-block-size

Though you see the constant trend right? And you know how easily and without high costs it is possible to fill these blocks up to 1MB? Now imagine what happens in the case of a fast adoption of bitcoin. Like amazon accepting bitcoins directly. Bitcoin blocks would be full instantly and bitcoin would practically die in the same time. Since all the new users would have a terrible user experience. Bitcoin would not confirm most transactions and nobody needs a currency that even lost such a crucial advantage. Why should anyone use an unreliable currency like that?

There are a lot of holes in your logic.

The most obvious one being that Amazon accepting Bitcoin would have little effect on the adoption of Bitcoin. If you still hold true to these beliefs it seems there are lot of things you need to learn before addressing the block size issue.


Unfortunately your answer doesn't contain anything valid as an argument that i could go against. Only a personal attack that i need to learn to understand the block size issue. Surely not constuctive.

But i will explain it more in detail. Let's assume amazon decides to accept bitcoin. Maybe they even advertise it as a cheap way to earn money without risk for them. Then let's assume that the amount of transactions jumps up 200% from now. I'm pretty sure you can imagine what that would mean at the end. It would mean that a lot of new bitcoin users would come and use bitcoin but their experience would be horrible. Since by design 33% of all transactions would never be filled. (Assuming we are at 50% filled blocks now in average.)

So now explain me why that would not be a problem for bitcoin please.

Any news after this event? I mean sure this was passed down for generations. We cant say much about that but i hope it was all worth it. And i hope the earth quake didnt damage then badly. they too need help. Sad

How in the world could it be all worth it? If there would have been a serious godlike effect from slaugthering that many cows for nothing but for the ritual then the world already would know how usefull it is. It's only some stupid humans that act out of what they were told to do from the past. Surely no help will come from this slaughtering. Otherwise we would know already that it is a mighty ritual.

2289  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: [ANNOUNCE] Electrum - Lightweight Bitcoin Client on: October 31, 2015, 02:11:26 PM
It shows up unconfirmed but has 7 confirmations as of now. I have way older transactions too.

where does it show "unconfirmed" ?
In your history, these transaction should be either "pending" or "unveriifed"


Yes, that's right. The show up as unverified, before they were pending. But they don't change to confirmed since days yet. Some of it.
2290  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: [ANNOUNCE] Electrum - Lightweight Bitcoin Client on: October 31, 2015, 12:30:22 PM
You can make the error go away by renaming the executable to "electrum.exe"
interesting. does anybody know why? (I am no Windows expert)

Hey, it works... Smiley

I guess in the code it was only referenced as electrum.exe and it doesn't understand that the exe is then something with portable.
2291  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: [ANNOUNCE] Electrum - Lightweight Bitcoin Client on: October 31, 2015, 12:28:07 PM
The portable version 2.5.2 works fine and doesn't forget the socks settings anymore. Though the worst problem now are the servers. I finally found a good server i can always connect to. That's not so easy. But when iam connected then the server gives me outdated data. I have 4 transactions unconfirmed since days, though in fact they have over couple hundred confirmations already.

sounds like the malleability attack.
can you post the server, and the transaction id?


No, these are not malleated ones since when i copy the transaction id and check it on blockchain.info then the blockchain knows the transaction and it was confirmed already hundred of blocks before.

The server i use momentarely is btc.mustyoshi.com. I can see new transactions coming in and i can send transactions but they show up unverified after showing up as pending even though the blockchain already knows they are out. And there is no notification of the server being behind in blocks. Example 86cc3798c7b849be58475d3045b7d77c090bb27f2e6b184bd529ff2fabb33413 It shows up unconfirmed but has 7 confirmations as of now. I have way older transactions too.

And i saw that you implemented a fee feature that adjust to the network load of the blockchain. That works great. Nice feature!

I think the server software is the most pressing thing to mod on since it invalidates all work on the backend software for me at the moment.

Another thing is the error message at the start that doesn't vanish. Not problematic though still annoying.

It says: Caption:

There's also bot trading... which I'm still learning... I always feel like I'm losing =/

How do you start learning bot trading? Any good sites/programs to try out?

Try tradewave.com. You can use free or bought bots there or create your own bots. You can backtest the success of the trading bot with past data then before you use it for your real money.

Of course it makes only sense when you can invest some money.

The most exciting thing in my life is my girlfriend and hopefully soon wife. She is so great in any aspect and even beside the love i feel for her, and luckily she for me too, i don't see any girl anywhere i would exchange for her. I never thought i would learn such luck in my life. Really exciting.

Don't you mean the mother of your child? Oo I would wonder what your wife or girlfriend would think of this otherwise. Cheesy

Gambling is not the method for growing our bitcoin investments. Gambling may be a riskier way to grow your bitcoins if you're able to make some profits out of gambling.
nope, in fact many people also make gambling as a primary way to grow their bitcoin,
although risky, it is still a way to grow bitcoin,


If you believe them then they either lied to you or they even lie to themselves.

Check out the chats on the dice sites. All the regular gamblers lost money over time. It happens rarely that someone goes with big wins. And the more often you play the higher plays mathematics it's brutal law. You will lose.

So no, gambling is never a way to grow your bitcoin when you start with the intention of growing it. It is a sure way to lose your money.

An exception only are games where you can get an advantage in chances. Like poker or counting cards.
2300  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Methods of growing your Bitcoin? on: October 30, 2015, 03:33:41 PM
There's an easier way to growing your Bitcoins quicker than you might think of, but that involves scamming and stealing other people's money, which is not legal and rude. But if you want to take the safe path, just make a research on different types of companies (involving Bitcoin) before making an investment. Then, you could be sure to invest, take the risk and earn a decent amount of money which will make your Bitcoins grow for days to come. Just my opinion.  Grin

It's not easy though since in oder to scam money you have to put an investment too in your beloved scam tool to get more customers in investors in case of a building a ponzi site or any investment scheme. It requires good build and unique script of that site too. Stealing money is hard too because it requires good planning. If you will rob a bank you must have guns or anything as your weapon and you need a team for this. You will scout first the bank and the route you will follow as your escape route. Also have a vehicle which is also quiet expensive if you buy a second hand or a 10% healthy car. If stealing on a single person, you need to analyze the movement of that person inluding the time when alone or time of work etc. What a discussion is this lol.

What do you mean? The easiest scam is to ask for a loan without collateral. It works way too often. Or offering your bitcointalk forum account as collateral with the intent to default so that the loaner has to sell it.

Most scams don't need any investment. Only if you want to scam a big thing you might need some investment upfront. But when you think about neobee then it seems it might be possible to scam only with the promise of future profits. And people will invest.
