Is my node still useful even if it has never relayed first a transaction on the blockchain?
This sounds like something you have seen on blockchain.info. Their information hardly matters, they are just another node (with plenty of info about their state and a wallet service). Your node constantly verifies and relays transactions for others. Open the debug.log (Help -> Debug Window -> "Open") and search for ERROR: AcceptToMemoryPool: to see which you did not relay. Enter getmempoolinfo in the console (Help -> Debug Window -> Console) to see how many you have relayed and are valid according to your nodes settings. Are pruned nodes good for the bitcoin network even when they never relay transactions?  Yes, a pruned node still verifies and relays new blocks and all transactions. You cant help new nodes sync though and you cant currently use a pruned node as a wallet, but it still supports the network to run one. |

Klingt nach nem blockchain.info problem, soweit ich weiß gibt es kein Netzwerk-Limit für inputs.

I noticed one guy had started a thread about a payment that took a very long time to confirm. The reason for this was that he had a lot of micropayments to cover the funds. If one has a lot of unspent micro-payments, is it worth transferring them to an alternative wallet to speed up any future payments. What is the chance of this going through with a zero fee. Obviously time to confirmation is not of importance.
I asked the similar question in the past. From what I understood, if you keep the micropayment "long" enough, the fee will become smaller when they are spent. Fee has something to do with the age of the unspents. Am I correct? Not directly. Time coins have not been moved increase their priority. The larger the coin pile the faster it gets priority. In the past a "bitcoin day" worth of priority was enough to send a TX without fees. Im not sure if this is still the case. A bitcoin day is 1 BTC with 1 days worth of confirmations (144) in a single input (received as a single transaction and not via mutliple smaller ones). If the priority of a transaction is too low you have to compensate with fees. Since the TX volume has significantly increased priority is only a very small factor and the fee is more important. Its not that you are competing with other high priority transactions to get into the small 50KByte (default core settings) reserved for TX without fee. Its that you compete with other TX paying a (high) fee to get into the block at all. As you can see from the example I linked, its still possible to have a TX confirm without fee, but IMHO the bitcoin day rule of thumb is no longer valid. |

Hi,
I think i recieved bitcoin encrypted in gpg. I have no knowledge of how to get the bitcoin in my online wallet.
So you have received an encrypted message for your pgp key and encrypted it. The message makes you think it contains bitcoin? I managed to open user ID which appears to be 3 differents
3 different what? User ID? , but i have no idea about what to do next? Can someone help me out with this issue?
What you write does not sound like bitcoin, but maybe you can be more clear about it? Why not contact the sender? Is the message signed? ¨ I was sure that it wasn`t going to make sense. I have got mail from someone saying he made a donation in bitcoin. I have had my public adress and thought i was gonna receieve it directly in my online wallet. Which is not the case. His mail was had some kind of code with GPG. So i downloaded GPG program and tried to open it. I thogught i could get some kind of private key to add on my wallet. But i couldn`t manage it. I hope this information will be helpfull to understand. Do you think you can help? If you dont have a PGP key pair, its impossible to send you an encrypted message. Maybe it was just signed? A signed PGP message looks like this: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
this is shorena from bitcointalk.org
with a sample PGP signed message for Nomad88.

Ok so a random 12 word password should be strong enough then ?
See the post by cr1776, I dont know. It depends on your way to select random words and the word basis or number of words. It sounds good though. and i prob have no need really to create a .conf file to be honest, but interesting to know. thanks alot for the help
Usually not, no. |

I will give it a push every 30 minutes with my node. If anyone else wants to help here is the raw TX -> https://blockchain.info/nl/tx/bcec161a8c478305fb0d32d004bcc782e3bac6b94e2d6bc830ab1b108d560b3a?format=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
please send me a PM when the TX is confirmed so I can stop the script. |

-snip- Great help, thank you, so thats why it is always best to use a new address for sending and receiving Bitcoin  But its wrong!. Bitcoin core keeps (by default) 100 unused private keys and addresses pre generated for you. This would only work if you would use all 100 (change)addresses. You can change this by adding keypool=103 to your bitcoin.conf file. Ok so then it is dangerous to leave old wallet backups on computers or USB pendrives that others have access to. Only if you use bad passwords. Cores wallet files are reasonably well defended against brute force attacks. Shorena could you explain abit more about keypool 103 into bitcoin.conf? where is that file? i have checked %appdata% and cant see it
The file is not created by default, if you cant find one in %APPDATA%/Bitcoin you can just create a text file and rename it (make sure its no longer a .txt file). With the keypool option you can change the default behavior to any other number of pregenerated private keys you prefer. Keep in mind that reducing the number also means you have to create a backup more often. If you set a higher number core create the keys next time the wallet is unlocked. |

Im not a mod. moderator / sister,, i get your point..  no more any of MMM gambling-games on bitcointalk.org MMM is not gambling, its a scam. You lot post here for your "daily chores". Its nothing but advertising spam for your ponzi scheme. i was thinking its similar to all the other online gambling win and lose but since you dont like it, i wont do it again..

Appeal to the admins, write a mail. |

Hey Leute,
ich möchte mir demnächst ein paar Bitcoins zulegen und diese mit der höchst möglichen Sicherheit aufbewahren die technisch umsetzbar ist.
Bisher habe ich dazu nur den Trezor gefunden.
Da ich mich nicht großartig mit der Funktionsweise von Bitcoin auskenne wollte ich mich hier erkundigen, wie dieser Trezor funktioniert und ob es tatsächlich die sicherste Möglichkeit ist seine Bitcoins aufzubewahren die es gibt?
Trezor ist eine sog. Hardware-wallet. Also ein spezielles Gerät auf dem die privaten Schlüssel gespeichert sind. Das ist deutlich einfacher und bequemer als einen alten Laptop zu nehmen und den offline zu halten, von der Sicherheit aber vergleichbar. Es gibt noch andere Hardware wallets, siehe z.B. hier[1-3]. Der Trezor ist ja offline - daher ist es mir ein kleines Rätsel wie das ganze funktionieren soll.
Für Transaktionen benötigt man doch Internet?
Ja, aber das signieren muss nicht online passieren. Alles was eine Hardware oder offline wallet macht ist eine Transaktion zu unterschreiben. Das erstellen und verbreiten macht ein online Computer. Und wie gibt man die Wallet Adresse ein? Der Trezor hat doch nur 2 Tasten?
Gar nicht. Benötigt der Trezor nicht die Blockchain?
Nein. Was passiert wenn der Trezor abhanden kommt? Ist das Gerät selbst "verschlüsselt" oder hat jeder dem das Gerät in die Hände fällt vollen Zugriff auf die Bitcoins?
Das Gerät selbst ist verschlüsselt, aber Du erstellst auch eine Sicherung via seed[4].

Could anyone confirm the origin of the address? The link just leads to a google query.
thanks --Encrypted--, I guess I should have gone back in the thread instead

It is for now, but its 512 RAM is very small and its CPU is very slow, so validating the blockchain alone takes several weeks.
It's feasible, and there are people running nodes this way... But obviously not on the 512MB RAM Pi B  You've got to have a Pi B 2, which has 1GB RAM. For now you can even run the node solely on the Pi, using a 128GB card. You can even run it portably, on an external battery, using wifi or a 4G connection (I haven't tried this, but it's not an impossibility) Hence the "for now" I dont think it will be feasible in the future, but I might be wrong. 0.12 comes with a way to restrict memory usage, but I guess the CPU will be too weak once SegWit is introduced or at the very least once bigger blocks come. I also havent read anything good about using SD cards to store the blockchain, apparently they are worn out quickly. |

You did not scam anyone, but you tried. The rating was left only now, because it was found out now.
Send me a PM after the 2016.03.16 and I will see if the warning was needed or should be changed to neutral.
btw: its not abuse, the trust system allows negative ratings for any reason and its often used as a warning about users that behaved shady in the past.
I didn't saw Luckybit rules.when the campaign manager said me i told him to remove me.From then i am not joining any twitter campaign.Whatever Users 'Karl Perkin' and 'jorjito25' did the same but they didn't get any feedback. Reference? -offtopic-
This is the last time i came here so No_hard_feelings !
I dont believe you, if it would be the last time you wouldnt have started the thread. |
