I was gonna yell at you for stealing o_e_l_e_o's intellectual property but this seems to be a serious effort. Great project, good luck dev  yeah, to be honest, i don't know who's intellectual property the bingo is... I linked to the thread where i first saw the bingo card appear at the top of my OP AND at the bottom of my webpage in order to give some credit to the inventor, however, hilariousetc didn't include any copyright so the actual inventor might not be credited correctly... If you're certain that o_e_l_e_o is the inventor, i'll shoot him a PM to ask permission |

you need "yes I read the rules" as they proceed to double post.
I'll add it right away  update: it's in the pool, ready to be picked for the next "plagiariser's bingo" |

I was browsing meta and found following thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5083830.0;topicseenhilariousetc posted a plagiariser bingo, and it was quickly picked up by other members... HOWEVER: it was hard for them to keep uploading new images, and there was no way to tally any winner... That's why i took a couple of hours out of my schedule to create.... PLAGIARISER's BINGO: the app How does it work? - You see a plagiariser starting to complain
- Visit https://www.mocacinno.com/bingo/index.php and fill the form... A new url will be created for your unique bingo. At the moment, only 26 excuses are available, out of which 24 will be picked at random
- Hotlink the image from my site AND copy the full url that was generated for you at the bottom of the image... People that want to play need to visit the webpage to claim a new spot
- No need to add the image multiple times... It'll automatically be updated when new spots are claimed (at least, if bitcointalk's imageproxy isn't caching the image;) )
Example for post #100:  Want to play? Visit Mocacinno's plagiariser bingo[url=http://www.mocacinno.com/bingo/index.php?postid=100][img]http://www.mocacinno.com/bingo/image.php?postid=100[/img][/url]
Want to play? Visit [url=http://www.mocacinno.com/bingo/index.php?postid=100]Mocacinno's plagiariser bingo[/url]
Todo: - Calculate when somebody won the running bingo and add their name to the winlist
- Add more excuses

What seems fishy about the first 3 posts is the fact that the op is asking about a completely unknown company in the first post, in the second post he posts the name of the owner, and in the thirth post, the owner already posts a smiley... What bothers me is that the owner's name isn't on the website the OP linked to, nor in the whois info... How did the OP find the owner's name, how did the owner find this thread, why did it all happen in the course of a couple of hours? https://web.archive.org/web/20181212063715/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3061180.0;topicseenFrom my point of view, it looks like (no proof) the op is just a shill for this new company, and it looks like the only goal was to post a link to a new company... I'd rather have a company creating an official thread about their service instead of using "alternative" techniques of getting their link out in the open. I don't know if the company is legit or not... The whois info is hidden, but that's not a "real" red flag |

Like OmegaStarScream, i'm unsure about your intentions... If you're trying to monitor an address for transactions funding it, follow OmegaStarScream's advice and use an api, or install bitcoind and use the json-rpc interface (both are quite easy to do using a php script). If you're trying to verify if a transaction is valid, i guess https://github.com/Bit-Wasp/bitcoin-php might be usefull for you. Anyways, before we're able to give you advice tailored to your situation, we need more info... |

 Just want to know the meaning of it, especially to mods and admins if they are around. Am I the one experiencing/seeing it or are there others that have the same issue? Thanks! edit: As of time of posting this thread, I found out that my post counts has been seen I don't know what happen but good thing I snip it as an evidence to show. It means you made exactly 1337 posts... It's an easter egg that has been discussed several times in the past. |

I know about the dangers in online wallets, and how to use a cold - hot wallet.
The question could be formed like this:
If a swept address in an online wallet has 0 coins, and someone sends some coins there (some time later), will the coins be moved to the "web address" ?
the coins will not be moved to the new wallet... If you have privatekey1 whose public key hash (commonly known as the "address") is 1address1, and you sweep privatekey1 into any other wallet, what happens is: 1) the "receiving" wallet will do a scan for any unspent outputs funding address1 AT THAT TIME 2) if it finds unspent outputs, it'll generate a new deposit address (it's possible the receiving wallet has a buffer of unused new deposit addresses). Let's call it 1addressfromnewwallet2 3) the receiving wallet will create a new transaction, spending all unspent outputs from step 1 and funding the new deposit address from step 2 (1addressfromnewwallet2) 4) the transaction from step 3 will be signed with privatekey1 (the key you're sweeping) and broadcasted. 5) since the receiving wallet has the private key whose public key hash is 1addressfromnewwallet2, it'll monitor this address for new unspent outputs, and it'll be able to spend those funds If, after the initial sweep, somebody funds 1address1 again, those unspent outputs won't "magically" move to the address generated by the wallet you swept the coins in... You can, however, repeat the sweeping process as many times as you want... There is a "variant"... If you import privatekey1 instead of sweeping it, both the original wallet as the new wallet start monitoring 1address1, in this case, for the untrained eye, it will look like the new funds magically "move" to the new wallet even after the intial import. However: since both the old and the new wallet have privatekey1, and they're both monitoring 1address1, both wallets are able to spend any unspent outputs funding 1address1. This might be a desirable feature in some usecases, or an undesired feature in other usecases! |

I think greenaddress allows you to sweep private keys: https://greenaddress.it/HOWEVER, is there a reason you're asking for a WEB service? Web wallets are the worst kind of wallets security-wise... If you're not the only one in controll of your private keys, you're not the only one in controll of your funds. Please, switch to a desktop wallet on a clean pc, or if you're holding more than a couple hundred bucks worth of crypto currencie, switch to a hardware wallet or a paper wallet (or a wallet on an airgapped machine). |

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1738960I've never heared about them myself, i'd never use an unknown mixer to mix any coins at all... No idear if this one is a scam, but if it's their io domain you visited, they do have a (seldomly used) newbie account (see above) and there is an email address on the account's profile page. Good luck!

In 2014 I had an account. When I went to the account in 2017, I tried to log in with my email and password. After logging in, I found that I had to verify the phone number, but my phone number was lost and I wanted to login with my bypass email but I could not get my email password lost. I tried a lot but could not. So you also give up hope of getting it back.
There's a big difference between the OP's problem and yours... Eventough you didn't explicitly told us which wallet you were using in 2014, i'd make an educated guess and say it was an online wallet? By using an online wallet, you were not the only one in controll of your private keys (you've never been the one in controll), and you need the online wallet's help when you want to recover your funds... The OP actually used a desktop wallet, he was in controll of his own funds, and if he finds the password, he becomes the one in controll ones again... It's up to him to try to brute force his wallet, he doesn't need external help. The only similarity between your cases is that neither of you is able to spend his/her funds at this point in time... I hope you both are lucky in recovering access to your wallets tough. |

1) copy your wallet, copy it twice, copy it onto a dedicated usbstick 2) download, install and configure https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecoverIf you have *any* clue as to what password you usually chose, or wich password you *might* have chosen OR if you chose a weak password, the above tool can *potentially* help you in brute-forcing your electrum wallet's password. Good luck! |

All other posters are correct, if you're not doing something illegal (selling illegal items, evading taxes, money laundring,...) you shouldn't worry about it... New deposit addresses or the use of bitpay (or an other processor) would be more than sufficient...
IF, for some reason, you still want more anonimity, you can always switch to monero (or a similar coin)... I would discourage creating a new token like you suggested, it'll be a lot of work to maintain a token/coin by yourself, and the odds are pretty big the token will become worthless in a very short time... Use an existing coin/token with an established userbase and active dev community in order to protect yourself and your customers and save you from a lot of headache

this is unlikely to be a bug. that error message is a network error message that the bitcoin network is giving you not the wallet. and it means that one or more of your new transaction outputs that you are trying to create is smaller than dust amount so it is considered non-standard and the nodes you are connecting to are rejecting it.
in your preview window at the bottom of the page inside Outputs you should see the new outputs you are creating. there is an amount in front of each of them. one should be smaller than dust limit which is causing the problem. change that and your TX will go through.
Ok.but the btc address i used is most likely different now. As this website changes my btc wallet address once a week as a security measure..will this be an issue??? I wouldent want to lose any btc sending to a unexisting address. Well, you'll need to double check the deposit address... If it changed, you'll need to change the deposit address in the new transaction aswell... I'd like to add following points to the discussion: - Pursuer gave the correct answer, the problem is dust outputs created by your transaction
- If you can't get it fixed, you can always download a fresh copy of electrum from the official site, and restore your wallet from the seed phrase you should have written down when you created your wallet... The restored wallet won't have any notion of the locally saved transaction, you should be able to spend all those funds again without a hitch from the restored version
- Electrum is an open source application... There is no official support team, altough the editor of electrum (ThomasV) is a nice guy who usually helps you out if you have problems... Altough it seems he isn't as active on the forum as he used to be (at least, that's what my gut feeling is telling me)

Does anyone here using trezor password manager? Hows it? Do you experience any error/problems? Or do you prefer using different password managers to secure your passwords? What would you recommend? A browser extension or just an app in your desktop.
I've switched from keepass to trezor just last week... I find keepass easyer to use tbh. It allows you to make a tree structure using subfolders, and it keeps your password history. The reason i switched despite the ease of use of keepass vs trezor was the safety aspect. Keepass uses a single master password and doesn't care if you pick a weak one eather. Trezor derives a new key for each pass it needs to encrypt, and a 24 word seed is a lot harder to brute force compared to a "normal" password |

I’ll take the source, it’ll be interesting to look at on my train journey today.
Also, I think plugins can gain access to downloads so there’s a chance it could go in on that route if it doesn’t directly have a chance to go down that route.
Have you considered switching to Firefox? It’s one of the things that makes me hate the ledger nano s, that it used to use chrome (I know the device is quite secure but... chrome?)
Electrum did a much better task at making the software interface for it imo.
I've sent you a PM, i didn't want to post a link to a scam plugin out in the open... If somebody else wants the sourcecode, let me know and i'll send it to you in a PM As for the security... Yeah, i'd probably have to switch to firefox sooner or later... I'm using chrome because i do own a ledger and a trezor, and both have apps that run as a chrom(e)(ium) plugin, plus chrome always has a recent version available @ portableapps... |

I had the same plugin pushed to me from the owner of cryptrave.com. Usually i wouldn't fall for this trick, but i actually lost a family member on monday, and i was just browsing bitcointalk aimlessly without paying attention after the news actually hit me... I actually felt like playing with a no-deposit bonus would distract me a little bit, and i actually fell for the scammer's trick. Luckily I had the reflex not logging in to any funded wallet while the plugin was installed, so so far i wasn't robbed. I'm still figuring out which steps i need to take in order to be safe... Offcourse i completely removed all files from my chrome portable and installed a clean version, but i'm wondering what to do with the passwords saved by chrome, my keepass database, my desktop wallets (most of my funds are in my ledger and trezor HW wallets, but i still keep some spending money on a couple desktop wallets)... I have downloaded the plugin's sourcecode, but at the moment i don't have the energy to truely vet it... On a quick browse, i actually found the array where the hacker defined his wallet addresses for the different (alt)coins he's trying to steal: t = []; t.BTC = "16EegrNMdZ9Rxku6Za5neEFjMW57wkQr1S", t.ETH = "0x03b70dc31abf9cf6c1cf80bfeeb322e8d3dbb4ca", t.ETC = "0x4F53C9882Ba87d2D7c525dF2aEF2540EFB6e32e5", t.BCH = "1PCh7w6LdcEv1sWd5wtvkELHcWe5HumUi3", t.LTC = "LRPChoyN8qLWENjo1dUjk2bESZjE7bQ6sP"; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5076352 |

Thanks for pointing me towards that thread I've just filled in an abuse report, but in order to rate that extension, it seems i would need to re-install it before i can review it... I'm always running chrome portable, and i've completely deleted all packages belonging to the "infected" chrome installation and re-downloaded a clean chrome portable package... I'm actually wondering wether or not a chrome extension would ever be able to actually read and write data from/to the actual filesystem (and not just the "jail" created by chrome)... If an extension can only function within chrome, deleting chrome and resetting all passwords that were saved in chrome would suffice. If an extension has r/w access to the filesystem, i'd actually have to empty out all wallets on my system, reset all passwords in my keepass and format my complete harddisk... A daunting task to say the least.. I was actually able to download the plugin's sourcecode in case somebody is interested/willing to see what it actually does |

Thank you guys for these tips. Do you know anybody here who can help me with this issue? It looks a bit difficult for me.
First rule of bitcoin is: never share your private keys... And that's exactly what's needed in order for anybody to help you... I'd personally go for one of these options: 1) Let somebody assist you on how to proceed on your own system... Work with somebody that doesn't have access to your system, but share logs and screenshots so he/she can help you... Be carefull not to share the wallet.dat or the private keys. If you want to, i can help you out, but since it's a private job and not a public service, i'd probably charge you for my time... No offence, but i've tried helping out new members in private several times, and usually it's very time consuming, and the new member usually dissapears without even saying thank you after they've regained access to their funds... So i no longer do private charity work. 2) find somebody with massive green trust, ask him/her to help you.. I've heared good things about this guy => https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=130960 <= but i cannot vouch for him personally since i've always solved my own problems |

What happened: I had a death in the family and wasn't paying as much attention as i usually do... I received a free no-deposit bonus from cryptrave.com. I played with their bonus and won >$1000. Everything looked and feeled pretty legit. When i tried to cash out, i was faced with an error message telling me i had to play their game before i could withdraw. Since i already played their game, i contacted support. The support guy insisted that i had to install a chrome extension and join a cashback scheme with my myetherwallet or blockchain wallet using this extension before i was eligible to withdraw. Eventough i wasn't paying attention due to the personal drama i was having, I did have the reflex to create a brand new wallet and not opening an existing (funded) one. In the end, the support guy basically said that i would only be able to withdraw my winnings IF i installed their fishy chrome extension AND logged in to myetherwallet or a blockchain wallet that was funded with at least 0.32 ETH... Scammers Profile Link: All posts made by any account about this service have been deleted: https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=016660200577587308545%3Aesf40ml9aag&ie=UTF-8&q=cryptrave.com&sa=Google+search#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=cryptrave.com&gsc.page=1Reference Link: https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=016660200577587308545%3Aesf40ml9aag&ie=UTF-8&q=cryptrave.com&sa=Google+search#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=cryptrave.com&gsc.page=1Amount Scammed: none (hopefully, i still have to dig trough the plugin's sourcecode), they did try to steal 0.32 ETH if i'm correct in my assumptionPayment Method: no deposit bonus, tried to withdraw ETHProof of Payment: nonePM/Chat Logs: I'll edit this post and add themAdditional Notes: I urge everybody to use their due diligence and not install any chrome plugins when visiting their wallets... I'm actually a bit afraid right now, since i haven't read trough the plugin's sourcecode, so i don't know if it would have been able to steal other passwords to. At this time, i'd urge anybody to stay away from cryptrave.com untill the sourcecode of the plugin has been vetted      EDIT: when quickly scanning the sourcecode of the plugin the potential scammer tried to make me run, i found following line: t = []; t.BTC = "16EegrNMdZ9Rxku6Za5neEFjMW57wkQr1S", t.ETH = "0x03b70dc31abf9cf6c1cf80bfeeb322e8d3dbb4ca", t.ETC = "0x4F53C9882Ba87d2D7c525dF2aEF2540EFB6e32e5", t.BCH = "1PCh7w6LdcEv1sWd5wtvkELHcWe5HumUi3", t.LTC = "LRPChoyN8qLWENjo1dUjk2bESZjE7bQ6sP"; I can only assume i found the scammer's wallet addresses... https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/116e47ec6fed4e50/addresseshttps://etherscan.io/address/0x03b70dc31abf9cf6c1cf80bfeeb322e8d3dbb4ca#comments
