Why did you block out the public key?

Just for privacy reasons. I send the address to a prospective buyer before a transaction.
It is a public address.  There should be no privacy concerns.  Showing the public address in the picture would show that you have the coin with the address shown.  Sending a random public address to the prospective buyer proves nothing.  I can send you the public address of many coins that I do not own or posses.

I am curious, what exactly is your privacy concern with respect to posting of a public address?

IOTA market cap near $8B with Byteball being 2% of that. Simple truth is that if dev community can get bytes listed on a bigger exchange such as bitfinex, coinone, or binance, Byteball will be in the hands of more people and have a higher market cap, and can better compete with IOTA in terms of visibility and gaining use cases.
Should not leave all the work up to the dev.

5  Since I imported well know private keys into my wallet this created little "time bombs" in my receive key list.
6  At some point I transferred CLAM on to these "time bomb" addresses.

? Why did you reuse addresses, particularly ones that you didn't originally create?
When you import a private key and the private key did not contain any coins at the time of the airdrop then the CLAM address generated by the private key import appears in your receive address list just like any other empty unused receive CLAM address.  AFAIK there is no easy way, from the GUI, to see if a receive address in the list is an address generated by the program or is an address generated from a private key import.

Since they look exactly the same from the GUI, I received CLAM on to an address I thought/assumed was an address generated by the program.

I so not reuse address.  I sent CLAM to what I thought was a new/unused/empty address.

QUESTION:  Is there a way using the console to see if a CLAM receive address was generated by the program from a random private key generated by the program OR if it was generated from a private key import?

I am an idiot.  Again.  Questions for you, dear reader:  Did you take my CLAM?  Would you kindly return them?

Previously I lost 25 CLAM when they got swept from xWAS3PbHr3FBdLsV1s8UYKuwXaJWMsTcjw.

Yesterday I lost another 25 CLAM when they got swept from xXWEQ27z4etYknwN9ZHd8M5YtwcfBY5njR.

My only hope is that the person sweeping my coins is a "white hat" and they give them back.  I also mention these embarrassing episodes so that others can learn from my stupidity.

Here is how I shot myself in the foot:

1  A long time ago when I first got into CLAM I was testing the client by importing random private keys I found on the internet into my wallet.
2  I knew that if I found a private key that had coins on it at the time of the airdrop I would get the free CLAM into my wallet.
3  I incorrectly assumed that if a private key did NOT have any coins at the time of the airdrop then the client would do nothing.
4  This is wrong.  Any time you import a private key you create a key pair in your wallet.  This makes sense to me now.
5  Since I imported well know private keys into my wallet this created little "time bombs" in my receive address list.
6  At some point I transferred CLAM on to these "time bomb" addresses.
7  Someone out there did the same thing I did, imported the same private keys, and they were able to sweep my coins.

Check out the private key for xXWEQ27z4etYknwN9ZHd8M5YtwcfBY5njR.  It is obvious without any further research this is a very bad private key to use:

285  Economy / Collectibles / Re: $50k Casascius Error Coin sold on eBay?? on: December 04, 2017, 02:44:53 AM
It didn’t actually sell.
Occasionally buyers back out of a sale and the item needs to be relisted.
I used to collect iPods (long story  Cheesy) and sellers used to sell the items on eBay for 5-10x the market price in the hopes of selling at least one to a poorly informed/new collector.
I assume the same thing is happening here. Bitcoin is gaining a lot of traction and mainstream adoption so you could assume that more people would be searching on sites like eBay for coins. Looks like the seller is just trying to take advantage of the price and turn a big profit considering that you could buy close to 3 or 4 of those on here for that price.


I thought that an error went for like 1.7ish BTC?

Real Close. Had one listed on Ebay just for the hell of it at 35k and I was the cheapest listed currently. Had a buyer take it just now in BTC for 1.64
I have a few of these and am considering selling a couple.  Was that 1.64 price for a coin graded and slabbed, or just a lonesome old coin?

I would not trust PayPal but would just exchange physical Bitcoins for electronic Bitcoins, that way there is no fear of payment reversal.

Why did you block out the public key?
287  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I’ve sent BCH to BTC address on: December 04, 2017, 02:17:37 AM
I did a similar thing and sent 2 BCH to a BTC address at an exchange.  The bastardos (Coinbase) have not given me the private key to that address (yet???).  If they ever do I can get my coins back by importing the private key into a BCH wallet.

Edit:  see my later post below.

On to your issue.  I don't understand them sending the BCH to a Segwit address.  Sounds fishy to me.  How did this get into the BCH block chain?  Please post the BCH transaction ID so we can look at it.

Anyway...

Theoretically you are in luck.  You just need the private key for the address you sent the BCH to.  This should have nothing to do with Segwit, depending on what happened in the transaction - which we will need to see.  You should just need the private key.

So, my suggestion would be:

1  Get another Trezor.
2  Set up the new Trezor (new seed - write them down as ususal, new xPUB, new xPRIV).
3  Move all your BTC, BCH, BTG, DASH, etc. from the old Trezor to the new Trezor.  This is needed because in a subsequent step below we are going to compromise all the private keys on your old Trezor.
4  Now, import the seed words from your now totally empty old Trezor into a compliant web based wallet.
5  You now should be able to access all the private keys created by the xPRIV/xPUB pair created by the seed words in your old wallet.
6  Find the private key that contains the BCH
7  Import that private key into a BCH wallet (coinomi, etc.)
8  Your lost BCH should magically appear.
9  Send the recovered BCH from the BCH wallet back to your BCH wallet on the new Trezor.

Keep the old Trezor as a back up in case you ever need to go through this process again.

Excuse me for not reading everything about LBC, but who found the keys corresponding to 0.161 - 0.256 BTC outputs range in the Puzzle transaction? There are somehow derived from 0.001 to 0.054 private keys?
Those were moved by the creator (of the puzzle) because they were redundant.
289  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: December 03, 2017, 01:33:15 PM
a very long synchronized wallet is the ability to accelerate this process or can there is a more simple version thanks
Use the light wallet instead of the full wallet.
290  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain.info wallet recovery phrase - 17 words, not 12 on: December 01, 2017, 01:02:00 PM
I am having the same issue, Mine is i have all the details inclusing my password, 17 word passphrase but cant login to blockchain.

I have contact blockchain but there has no been response

Does anyone know which wallet supports the 17 word passphrase so i can recover my account?
So you forgot your wallet identifier?  What do you mean you cannot log in?  You should be able to enter your wallet identifier and your password.  Assuming they are both correct you should log in or be take to the next log in step.

What exactly do you mean by "cant login to blockchain"?
291  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: December 01, 2017, 12:56:00 PM
hi, does anyone know if byteball will be doing more airdrops?
As far as I know  next airdrop will be on Januar 2018(missed December airdrop)

Edit: seems next airdrop date changed to March 2018.

Why is March 2018? Too long time to wait.
Why is March 2018? Cancel all future airdrops.  They are not working.  Do something else.

Unfortunately this isn't the first time that a wallet provider has failed to generate a truly random key.
There's a long thread on it somewhere on this form.
But here's their website:  https://lbc.cryptoguru.org/trophies

It would be good to know who the bad actor is (blockchain.info?) so users can vote with their feet.


Did you read the post right before yours?
293  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Thoughts on this private key stealing mystery on: December 01, 2017, 12:16:08 AM
Fascinating read.  I plan to look at it more when I have some time.

Some of the Bitcoin addresses that were used to generate the private keys are "well known" long standing vanity addresses, for example 1NiNja1bUmhSoTXozBRBEtR8LeF9TGbZBN
294  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do OffLine Address Generators, Generate an Address not already used? on: November 30, 2017, 11:40:35 PM
Bitcoin, and Ethereum offline address/ key generators.
As they obviously are not live connected to the BlockChain, how is it they can generate an address/ key, that will be unique, and not conflict with what is already on the BlockChain?
EDIT: Excuse double post, not allowing delete.

All Bitcoin addresses (including those generated by connected wallets) are assigned at random.  The reason we do not have to worry about collisions is that with a properly operating secure random number generator the probability of the same address being generated twice is, for all practical purposes, zero.

There are about 2160 possible Bitcoin addresses.  That is an incomprehensibly large number.

295  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain.info wallet recovery phrase - 17 words, not 12 on: November 30, 2017, 11:36:12 PM
Hello everyone,

I have logged around a year ago to my blockchain.info wallet.
I have also recorded the resovery passphrase words (I have 17 of them).

Now, I cannot log in (my password does not work) but also if I try to recover using my passphrase, the site saiz I need to use my "12 worded passphrase".

This is weird, because I have 17 words written down Huh . (I tried to use them too, but with no luck).

Anybody has the same issue?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
I think legacy blockchain.info wallets used 17 words and the newer blockchain.info HD wallets use 12 words.  You need to recover a "legacy wallet" so Google that.
296  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is there a decent exchange for large volume players? on: November 30, 2017, 11:27:08 PM
Is there an exchange (or platform) that meets the below criteria?

1) Reputable company in reputable country, preferably USA.
2) Has a phone number where a human will answer (unlike Coinbase) and/or will reply to online support in a timely manner.
3) Good for high volume.
4) Low fees for high volume.  I regard even 0.25% as high.  If you buy, say, $1m in stock, you'd pay $10.  0.25% is $2,500 for a transaction fee.  I understand the fees won't be the same as a Charles Schwab, but how low can one go for high-volume purchase of digital currency such as BTC?
5) Can fund with USD.
6) Can transfer out ALL of one's USD or BTC etc. in one day and not be subject to stupid daily export limits on one's own assets.

It seems to me that there is no decent, low-cost, trustworthy option for the larger players.  I hope I'm wrong.
I have not tried it yet but I have it on good authority that this is worth looking at:

https://genesistrading.com/

once I try it myself I will know more about it.

Minimum transaction size is $25,000.  So, this might be what you are looking for.
297  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: November 30, 2017, 08:22:28 PM
What about BTC addresses that starts with 3? The transaction bot says:
Quote
Only P2PKH addresses are supported
As mentioned many times before in this thread.  This is not an issue with Byteball or the Byteball client.  The issue is that currently there is no standard for signing messages with Bitcoin addresses that "start with 3".  This is a Bitcoin standards issue, not a Byteball issue.  Someone needs to propose a standard and then everyone would need to adopt and use it.  I am sure as soon as a standard is created Byteball will use it.
298  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How do I claim MY Bitcoin GOLD? on: November 29, 2017, 05:02:48 AM
Sorry for the nooby question but I've googled around and can't really find a good source that will help me claim my BTG. I don't have an andriod so Coinomi is out of the question. Every article that I've come across has something to do with Coinomi.

Is there another way to claim it with another wallet? Thanks in advance for your help
Coinomi is your best bet.  If you do not have a phone Google "Android Emulator".  Download a good one and then run the Coinomi application on your PC using the Android emulator.

OR, wait for a PC based wallet to support BTG.  I do not know of one right now, but I did not look very hard after I found out that I could use Coinomi to import/sweep BTC, BCH and BTG all with the same wallet.
299  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Use for old Antminer S1? on: November 29, 2017, 02:59:44 AM
Yes, find an alt coin with a lower overall hash rate and a bright future.  You will probably have to mine at a loss for now.  That is why the bright future is so important.  Mine a lot of coins.  Save them and hope they go up in price in the future.
it's sound like a speculation right, but how to pay electricity bill? (in case he need to pay it)
I thought we had already established he is not going to be able to pay the electricity bill when he said "I got an old Antminer S1".

yes, it means he needs to stop mining with antminer s1, if he tries to mine altcoin with it, and hold the coins (in case, altcoin more profitable than bitcoin). it also he can't pay his electricity bill.
The idea of using it to heat his house is a pretty good one.  Run it, heat the house, and get a few BTC (or other crypto) as a side effect.

I used the free coinomi wallet

You can import/sweep the private key to claim Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold in the same wallet so it is very convenient and free.
