And will some of them start changing their minds a little faster if the next Core release goes through with the proposal to disconnect nodes signalling 2x?
That pull request has already been merged into Bitcoin Core. It will be part of the 0.15.0 release. This means that if you run Bitcoin Core 0.15.0, you will be disconnecting all segwit2x nodes. A large part of the technical community opposes segwit2x for a variety of technical reasons. Furthermore, Bitcoin Core will not be supporting Segwit2x. The hard fork will likely still happen, just not very cleanly. If segwit2x continues to refuse to implement replay protection, refuses to set the hard fork bit, refuses to change their network magic, etc, then their hard fork will cause a lot of problems. This could result in network partitioning and replayed transactions (and thus potentially fraud). Since it is basically guaranteed to be a messy chain split, they should be working to make it as clean as possible, after all, they are the ones diverging from the status quo. |

Note: I am not a PHP programmer Your probably want to do something like this: $wind = $bitcoin->sendtoaddress($address,$amount1,"","",true);

Actually I don't know about Bitcoin Core 0.14.2 when I clicked on the link I get the details of the installation which shows 145GB required space I didn't understand is it need that much space? to installed please explain as a new be is it required for me to installed if yes what are the benefit by installing this version. please advise.
Yes, you need that much space for the full blockchain. Bitcoin Core is a full node; it downloads and stores the entire blockchain so that it can fully verify every single block and transaction on the network. This provides you the best security and privacy for a desktop wallet (besides privacy in transactions themselves). You can run Bitcoin Core in pruned mode so it will not take up so much space on your hard drive. However this still requires you to download the blockchain (but not store it) and sync in order to use Bitcoin Core. |

Check that Bitcoin Core is fully synced. Stop Armory and run just Bitcoin Core. If you don't see a green progress bar, hover your mouse over the checkmark or spinning circle in the bottom right hand corner and see if that matches the block height reported by block explorers like blockchain.info. It should be at least 480,891.

If you do need a bigger dish they are common and used on eBay. I saw how to use
the OuterNet via those instead. I still think this unit is likely to work on the USA Satellite in
the above links with only the small Reciever plate.
I think you could just use a DirectTV satellite dish. There are tons of those on buildings around where I live, and a lot of them probably aren't in use. But what if you are in North Korea? I was wondering if it would be possible to make the first transaction ever in Best Korea now that there are satellites broadcasting the blockchain.
But you say these devices only receive data. If so then how do you broadcast your transaction back into the blockchain if internet is blocked on the entire country and there are no wifi signals or anything? Let alone the fact that there aren't even computers or cellphones.
You would need a tourist to smuggle you a phone with wallet software installed, but even then, what do you exactly do with it?
I wonder who will be the first to manage to broadcast a bitcoin transaction in North Korea, that would be epic.
It is currently receive only because transmitting to the satellite requires a lot of power and extra stuff that most people won't be able to get. The satellite is best for those who have a poor internet connection; they can't download the blockchain because it is too big, but they can still broadcast transactions as those are tiny. The satellite allows those people to also be able to get the blockchain (well part of it, only new blocks right now) |

Your transactions have several confirmations now.

btw could you please advice any app for ios/andoid /web wallets to import private key and get my bitcoincash? wanna to convert it to bitcoin somewhere  AFAIK, there are no mobile or web wallets which support Bitcoin Cash. I only know of 2 wallet software that support Bitcoin Cash: Bitcoin ABC and Electron Cash. Both of these are desktop wallets. |

This is a known bug in blockchain.info's web wallet. The address that you have likely uses an uncompressed public key. However the private key that blockchain.info gave you is one that tells the wallet to use a compressed public key. This will result in a different address. To fix this problem, go to https://www.bitaddress.org and download the website (download links in the bottom left hand corner). Open the website in your browser locally (don't use the actual site) and click on the Wallet Details tab. Enter your private key and click View Details. Scroll down to where it says "Private Key WIF" (not "Private Key WIF Compressed"). Copy the string next to that; that is your private key. You can then import that into another wallet. |

I'm told that you will need a satellite dish and not just a small receiver like the one you pictured as the signal is quite weak. But if that works for you, great!

Is Bitcoin Core fully synced? Is Armory fully synced? If neither of those are true, then you will not see your coins until both are synced.

Anyone can initiate a fork. If a user decides to have a fork, they need enough hashpower to sustain the fork. You can however, modify the consensus rules such that the difficulty can be decreased after a period of time without a block. You don't have to have that much hashpower. The user can easily change rules such that it doesn't comply with the protocol rules in Bitcoin.
Anyone who creates a fork can simply drop the difficulty of the first block in their fork so that they are able to mine it themselves. In fact, with a hard fork, anything can happen because you can change whatever rules you want in a hard fork. |

May I ask why it can't be activated o working ?
Segwit can't work until it is activated. Segwit is currently not activated, it is only locked in. This means that it will become active after a certain block height, 481824. It is currently not past that block height. |

Give me some good alternatives from blockchain.info please Any wallet listed here is good: https://bitcoin.org/en/wallets/mobile/ios/. I hear that breadwallet is a pretty solid wallet, but I don't use iOS so I don't know. I also recommend that you use a desktop wallet too. |

Both transactions to and from that address have confirmed. If you don't see the transactions in your wallet, there is nothing that people here can help you; the only people are blockchain.info
Also, I highly recommend that you not use blockchain.info.

we are staying at 1MB.....? or will we get 2MB later?
None of the above. Segwit will give us a maximum of 4 MB blocks (the maximum amount of data transferred or stored on disk for a block). Non-witness parts of the block will be limited to at most 1 MB. On the average case, we get about double the number of transactions per block. Segwit2x is a proposal to hard fork after segwit activates, so we will still be getting segwit anyways. Segwit will activate in ~1 week. The 2x part of Segwit2x is supposed to occur 12960 blocks after segwit activates, and that will make the maximum block weight 8 million units, double what segwit makes it at 4 million units. This means that the non-witness data in the block can be at most 2 MB, and blocks at most 8 MB. However given that segwit2x has failed to produce a proper specification and even specify exactly what is supposed to happen, all of this could change. IMO it is unlikely that segwit2x will be Bitcoin; rather it will probably just become another altcoin like BCH did. BCH has shown that a 8MB block is feasible....if nothing else....
No, it really hasn't. |

I'm hoping if I can't find this wallet that I did print the seed out or write it down, though. I'll feel a lot better after I figure all this out.
Bitcoin Core currently does not and never has used a seed (mnemonic). In 2013, Bitcoin Core did not support HD wallets either so all addresses were randomly generated. The only way to restore your wallet is to find a copy of your wallet file which has all of your private keys. Older copies may not have all of the private keys that you used. After failing at using the link achow(?) put up,
What link? |

Is the transaction confirmed? If it is not, then you will not see the transaction in Armory after restarting Armory. What are tx filters?
and how can i fix "missing hashes" ?
Those aren't errors. That is just telling you about Armory's scanning process to find your transactions. |

It says I have to add an amount of timeout to it, so I did that but got "Null" in return. And after a few attempts I get "Method not found" with an error code.
That means that it worked. walletpassphrase will return null when it is successful. If it is not successful, you will get an error. |
