I can't find a binary of an old version like that anywhere

You can find all of those files at bitcoin.org/en/release/YOUR_VERSION.
For example, for version 0.9.2: https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.9.2
From that link:
Quote
Bitcoin Core version 0.9.2 is now available from:

https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.2/
But if you go to https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.2/, you'll get a 404 Not Found. I too thought this would be possible. I don't know why they've removed old versions.

So what should I do? I just want the money back in my wallet or sent.
Export the private keys to 1CCjHMJ7fmp25GRhytXg1wh9JfsSvUQbtV and 1FrhKvenbZftBQRRACME6tnTr3LFMtDUGR from blockchain.info, import them into Electrum or Bitcoin Core, and make a new transaction from there.
While you're doing this, be careful not to expose your private keys anywhere, don't post them here!

Alternative, if you control one of the outgoing addresses, you could try a "CPFP"-transaction: just make a new transaction with a much higher fee, so that it also pays for this transaction.

But i sent bitcoin cash from my wallet at one of the exchange.. The transaction got confirmed in the blockchain. But the bitcoin cash is not received to my wallet..
Can you share the txid, or, if you want that to remain private, look it up on https://blockdozer.com/ ?
I see two possible outcomes:
1. You didn't send Bitcoin Cash to a Bitcoin Cash address at an exchange.
2. You did send Bitcoin Cash to a Bitcoin Cash address at an exchange, but the exchange didn't credit it.

If it's 1. the big question now is what did you send. If it's 2., you'll have to contact the exchange.
24204  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Cannot store bitcoin core data folder on Samba or SMB file share on: January 01, 2018, 03:10:06 PM
After I upgraded from 0.14 to the latest version, Bitcoin Core no longer allowed me to use a simlink to my wallet.dat. That means Bitcoin Core knowingly interferes with something my filesystem takes care of.
My workaround was to only move and simlink the blocks-(sub)directory to another disk. You could try to only mount your blocks-directory on a network drive, it's the biggest directory anyway.
24205  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: First Real Bitcoin Lightning Network Payment Completed via Bitrefill on: January 01, 2018, 10:44:51 AM
What do you think guys , does this solve the fee and speed problem ?
Not until I can actually use it too.

Development is taking way too long. Meanwhile Bitcoin keeps losing market share, and many wallets (including Core) don't even allow easy creation of SegWit addresses. It seems like LN is at least a year away, while it was needed already 2 years ago.
24206  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin private key missing a character help! on: January 01, 2018, 10:05:05 AM
I want to try another 3162 combinations is there a way of automatically checking these keys instead of copying and pasting into blockchain?
Isn't it much faster to copy them into Electrum?

A year ago, I got a script from someone on this forum to check up to 5 characters of a private key. Have a look here, and see if it helps you. Source code is available.
24207  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] ChipMixer - mixing reinvented on: January 01, 2018, 09:55:53 AM
if I understand it correctly, under 50 mBTC (0.05 BTC) the system won't charge the fee?
Correct.

Quote
and if I prefer to withdraw in voucher code (not chips) also I won't get charged that fee.
so the fee applies only on over 50 mbtc deposit that withdraws to chips... do I get this right?
Step 1:
Quote
Mixing fee is 2% of deposited amount.
It says the fee is taken when you deposit, it doesn't matter if you withdraw to chips or voucher.

I think this should be updated though. By my math it should be:
Quote
Depositing 1.2345 BTC will result with 1.234 1.210 BTC funds.
Depositing 0.1239 BTC will result with 0.123 0.122 BTC funds.
Depositing 0.1230 BTC will result with 0.123 0.121 BTC funds.

You can learn from high member ranks like Hero and Legendary with positive trust and see how do they comment. I don't talk about copy-pasting now, but simply learning from good commentators.
It also helps to read more than just the topic title, so you'd know Legendary Administrator theymos isn't asking how he can improve his post quality.
24209  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Explanation for ripple price increase? on: December 30, 2017, 07:09:46 PM
I actually thought that none of these coins has any intrinsic value. So which coins do have an intrinsic value? And what is the intrinsic value and on what is it based?
The intrinsic value of dollar bills is less than toilet paper. The intrinsic value of (metal) coins is the value of the metal; back in the days this was gold and silver, nowadays it's cheap metal.
Fiat money on a bank account has no intrinsic value at all, it's intrinsic value is nothing more than the intrinsic value of any other number: $1000000. There's no intrinsic value in any number I type here.

The lack of intrinsic value is sometimes used by bankers when they "warn against crypto". And of course this is true, but it's also a useless statement considering no other form of money has intrinsic value. The lack of intrinsic value doesn't mean it can't be used as a medium of exchange.
24210  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Byteball's Marketing Fund. Make your contribution to the development of Byteball on: December 30, 2017, 07:02:08 PM
Although I like the idea, I don't trust it. If you're sincere, I have some suggestions:
-forget Bitcoin funding. If someone wants to use Bitcoin to support Byteball: just buy GBYTE.
-set up an escrow address for the funds, discuss all spending with the community, and let escrow pay for all approved and succesful advertising.
I suggest a 2 out of 4 multisig escrow, for instance (if they're willing to cooperate) handled by:
CryptKeeper
Michail1
me - LoyceV

Now it just looks like a quick way to earn money. This forum is flooded with Newbies trying to scam people. I'm not saying that's your intention, I'm saying that's what it looks like. And I'm suggesting how to get around that problem.
24211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Old corrupt wallet.dat from when I mined in 2009-2010 on: December 30, 2017, 03:40:32 PM
I have an old corrupt wallet.dat.
I read this so often lately. Files don't get corrupted out of the blue, none of my files from 8 years ago are corrupted now. I've never had old wallets to test it by myself, but what happens if you try to open the old wallet.dat in an old version of bitcoin-qt (from 2009-2010)?

0 confirmation deposits coming back again with high confidence levels. Expected next week.
Isn't that very risky for the site? It seems easy to abuse:
1. prepare double spend transaction with much higher fee
2. deposit
3. yolo: double or nothing
4a. if double, wait and withdraw
4b. if nothing, broadcast double spend transaction
This won't work every time, but it will be EV+ for the attacker even if it works only a small percentage of the time.
24214  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin disappeared from my adress on: December 30, 2017, 11:13:37 AM
It was hacking attack on the website, where I bought bitcoin - I figure it out a few minutes ago.
"We got hacked" is the oldest trick in the book. Sending private keys through email is very risky, and if they still have access to the private key a week later, that's even worse.
24215  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin disappeared from my adress on: December 30, 2017, 09:22:02 AM
I am just going to contact web shop, where I bought bitcoin.
And because only this web site has my private keys and adress on their server, I propably suspect who stolen my bitcoin
They could even have sold the same private key to other people too!

Once again I am saying I have no idea how all this crypto currincies world works.
Why did you spend $300 on something you don't understand?

You only own Bitcoin if you and only you know the private key. You should have transfered the Bitcoins to an address only you control, for instance by sweeping the address into a newly installed Electrum wallet on your own computer. Sweeping means transfering the entire balance of the address to a new address (don't confuse this with importing the private key, that doesn't take away the risks).

If you want to buy Bitcoin again, I suggest you use a legit exchange, one that sends the Bitcoin to your address instead of sending you a private key they know too.
You overpaid too: you paid $300 for $213 worth of Bitcoin. It's normal for sellers to want to earn something, and pay for some fees, but you can do much better than this.
24216  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Explanation for ripple price increase? on: December 30, 2017, 08:58:13 AM
I'm surprised with this huge increase too. It doesn't make any sense.
Look at their website: it doesn't even show how to install a wallet, it just tells you how to buy it: create an account at an exchange, buy it, keep it there! That's not a real use case, that's just speculation.

Banks may or may not start using Ripple, but even if they do start using it for transactions, that won't require much XRP. Only a few coins is enough for a year of transactions.
Many people must be jumping in now, because it goes up a lot. But bankers don't want you to get rich, bankers want your money. And bankers are very, very good at getting that!
Once this bubble blows, I expect the money to flow back into Bitcoin, just like it always does.

Do the people who buy it now even realize 61% of the coins is controlled by Ripple itself, and many billions of dollars are in possession of a very small group of people?

Look at the orange line:

It's quite typical for most altcoins: pump&dump, pump&dump, pump&dump. This is the fourth pump.

I don't like most of the altcoins in the Top Market Cap: Ripple is centrally controlled and is the opposite of everything Bitcoin stands for, Ethereum is centrally controlled and forks whenever they need to for their own financial gains, Cardano has a website with some buzz-words (just like any ICO), IOTA doesn't even have a decent working wallet (but is heavily hyped) and Dash instamined a small fortune "by accident" (and then changed the name so that nobody remembers what they did).

In between I skipped Litecoin (one of the first altcoins and around for a very long time).
24217  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I have a TX with 6928 confirmations but total balance is still pending on: December 30, 2017, 08:24:45 AM
Created VM installed Electrum.
Then i moved Private key to Electrum. Total balance is available as predicted (Yeaaahhhh, pfff that's a relieve)
Congratulations, for real this time!

Quote
A used the option "pay to many" in Tools, that's a bit scary with comma separation functionality but works like a charm!
There is no 0.05BTC outgoing payment, did you accidentally forget a zero and send 0.5BTC?

Quote
Finally I let Electrum  suggest the fee. It estimated that the Tx should be confirmed in about 5 blocks (should be 50 minutes right?)
~
But  9 hours later... no confirmation, still not enough fee? The fee was 0.001, can I speed up the TX by using "Child pays for parent" option in Electrum ?
I kind of want to get this over with...
The current fee for a fast transaction is 536 sat/byte, you paid 358. It will go through eventually.

I've never used CPFP by myself, you can try it, or just patiently wait for it to confirm. Usually fees drop on Sundays, so if it doesn't happen today, it'll happen tomorrow.
My Bitcoin Core estimates it'll be within 8 hours.

Thanks for the tip Smiley

One more thing
The Electrum wallet you created only holds your imported private key. The 1.419153 BTC change went back to the address you exported from Bitcoin Core, and should also show up in Bitcoin Core again.
If you choose to keep using Electrum, you should make a new wallet (the one that gives you a 12 seed word phrase to write down), instead of only using the same imported address again.
Or, I expect your Bitcoin Core to be totally fine again, so you can also keep using that client.
24218  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I have a TX with 6928 confirmations but total balance is still pending on: December 29, 2017, 08:44:58 PM
Yes the address is as you mentioned:
16u1VqPgTnGrAXQreLFBbVoUkgaATeHXKA
That's something!

Quote
I'll try to install the electrum software (probably takes 200GB to download the block chain again right?)
No, just a few MB.

Sure it can...
True, but I meant the part where his 2.8 Bitcoin went from confirmed to pending. That part I don't get.
I think I get what you mean: someone else is broadcasting HIS outgoing transaction so that 2.8 is CHANGE from the 2.9 Bitcoin he had in his wallet. Correct?
If that's the case, I still don't understand why it doesn't show up on block explorers.
24219  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I have a TX with 6928 confirmations but total balance is still pending on: December 29, 2017, 08:27:49 PM
Oh no, 10 minutes ago the total balance was available and now the old situation has returned! this is how it looks (again):

avail: 0.0002
pend: 2.8
total:  2.8002
I'm flabbergasted, this can't be Shocked

Can you try this:
Click Settings > Options > Wallet > Enable coin control features > OK
Click Send > Inputs > check the "Received with address" for your 0.0002BTC.
Is that address 16u1VqPgTnGrAXQreLFBbVoUkgaATeHXKA ? (It should be)

Quote
Anyways 2.8 pending is better then 0 total Wink
But it can't be after a zap & rescan, it should be confirmed. Something is definitely off.

Quote
thanks guys (will make my payment from electrum then LoyceV Wink )
Download Electrum, set up a new wallet, safely write down and store your word seed phrase, and sweep your private key from Bitcoin Core. Don't bother importing, just sweep it onto a new address in Electrum and go from there.

To get your private key out of Bitcoin Core:
Click Help > Debug Window > Console > Enter walletpassphrase yoursupersecretpassword 300
(the above unlocks your wallet for 300 seconds)
Enter dumpprivkey 16u1VqPgTnGrAXQreLFBbVoUkgaATeHXKA
This should show the private key. Sweep it into your brand new Electrum (and pay a high enough fee).

Assuming you have the private key to 16u1VqPgTnGrAXQreLFBbVoUkgaATeHXKA, this should work. If you don't have the private key, you're screwed Sad

DO NOT post the private key!

Update: you keep saying 2.8, and I assume that's the 2.9 from 633f05443310c5012c5a0360299c3627b8d838af1fbe4aa4a4ab20d74521d04b. I'm starting to think the 2.8 is from a different transaction, that would mean the 0.0002 is from a different address, and that would mean 16u1VqPgTnGrAXQreLFBbVoUkgaATeHXKA isn't part of your wallet.
24220  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I have a TX with 6928 confirmations but total balance is still pending on: December 29, 2017, 08:09:18 PM
It works, great!

Sorry for giving up so fast! With a rescan it works brilliant !
Great! Now I only wonder why the rescan without zapping wasn't enough, but who cares, it works!

Quote
Can you leave your public key LoyceV ? (then i can do a first test  payment to you!)
Cool Cheesy You'll find my address in my profile (click my name).
One more tip: you also wanted to pay a friend, if you click Add Recipient on the Send tab, you can send funds to more than one address at once. This saves a lot in fees compared to making several transactions (and if everybody would do this, it would reduce the congestion on the Bitcoin network).

Thank you so much!
Glad to help, I love the feeling of finding back crypto, even if it isn't mine.
