I also read they are very vulnerable... maybe because people tend to use same words as password over and over...
Brain wallet are vulnerable because most humans are bad at finding random passphrases. Clever wallet owners had used phrases like "say hello to my little friend" and "dudewheresmycar."
The "clever" here is irony. Its very stupid to use a popular movie/song (or any movie/song) title/part as a brainwallet. The seed e.g. Electrum generates for you is a representation with words, but they are not derived from pop culture or other art, but generated randomly. This is the big difference. You cant reasonably attack a proper randomly generated passphrase for 55 USD, not even for 55 trillion USD. |

Coinig is broken I wouldnt recommend using it. If you want to avoid core connecting to another node add the following line to your bitcoin.conf[1] file (create it in your ~/.bitcoin (linux) or %APPDATA%/Bitcoin (windows) folder if needed) connect=127.0.0.1:8333 #forces a single connection to localhost keeping core offline, remove line to connect to other nodes.
[1] https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin#Sample_Bitcoin.confI assume it's the same thing as doing this ? Here is what I've done :  and It's now says "NO block source available" , I assume it's working fine then  thanks Yes, setting a non existing proxy should do the trick as well. "No block source..." is the message you want (at least in your case) . |
|
|

if you have router, you need port forward
No, the outbound connections are fine to sync. Core does not hold many connections during that time anyway. |

Hey guys so I was wondering why this guy hasn't get a red tagged as a scammer already. CryptoskillsHere is his ponzi: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1357957.540He's claiming that he lost access to his computer due to a virus locked his access to his desktop. His excuse is an obvious alibi of a scam. Shouldn't he be given a red so everyone can be warned?  Brilliant. The "cold wallet" is locked, because the system was infected with ransomware. Edit: At least we know they are still active: STUPID BITCH

I'm currently debating about which iOS wallet to use. I tried: Xapo, Coinbase, Blockchain, breadwallet and I'm now trying out Hive. I want to know if anyone has been having any crashes of problems with Hive. Please suggest me (in your opinion) the best iOS wallet. Thank you! Oh, and if this matters, I'm planning to deposit 2+ BTC so I want it as secure as possible.
Use coinmotion.com (BTC) Its offline wallet and Finnish company. You can exchange altcoins at BTC example http://www.poloniex.com/Seems like an online wallet to me. Its not even an online wallet, its an exchange. You have an account with them, but dont control the private keys. They do - like all good exchanges - store their(!) coins partially offline. |

IIRC Hive is no longer developed and maintained.

"Bitcoin may be doomed to failure as the blockchain struggles to scale up; Professor Ross Anderson from the University of Cambridge explains."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XHyzPA9ZcI think this Professor Anderson an "expert in the financial word and technology"  needs some more information as it seems he is not up to date. Also read through the comment section when you have some time left. Maybe write yourself a few lines as some clarrifications seem to be needed due to missunderstanding or lack of informations. Thanks guys. Firstly its just an opinion. If bitcoin can not scale it will indeed not become the global currency. Well, maybe it does not need to be the global currency to be successful. Maybe it can scale. The "bitcoin will not be used to pay your coffee" is not an uncommon opinion. I dont recommend anyone wasting their time in the youtube comment section. If someone is interested in bitcoin they will find other means to get good information anyway. In that case we are going to need another international currency to pay for our coffee when we're abroad. Well it's not exactly like we are going to "need" it, but it would solve many travelling problems related to currency exchange. Bitcoin doesn't have to do it, but an alt will have to, may it have to not be as decentralized as bitcoin is to accomplish it. It might even have to be fully transparent and used only for small transactions abroad but it will be needed if bitcoin wants to remain a decentralized computerized version of gold. ...or you could do the majority of your coffee trades "off-chain" (e.g. via payment channels) and only do the final account reconcilement with a single "on-chain" transaction. This would require some trust in the coffee selling company, but so does drinking the coffee and you can limit the amount you want to trust them with to something you would reasonably spend on coffee anyway. There are many possible solutions. I dont know if bitcoin will implement them or which, but IMHO SegWit is a step in the right direction no matter what the goal is. It allows implementing new types of addresses (and transactions) in newer versions without breaking old clients. This could also introduce new signature algorithms e.g. resistant to quantum computer attacks. Bitcoin is still nowhere near where it can be in the future and it will need time to grow. |

Most softwallet (those that sync very fast) is centralized. I dont mind it being centralized as long as the developers is people that I can trust. I'd say the best Android wallet (at least for me) is Mycelium. Been using it for more than a year and have never encounter any major problem - only problem is that the speed is a little bit slow.
Well If we take Electrum for example , It's sync very fast (Lightweight wallet) however It connect to servers but .. in the same time they don't have access to our private keys . So I want something similar without the need of downloading the blockchain . Bitcoin wallet (for android the one based on Bitcoin Core) need to download the blockchain ? I guess not ? I don't see how it will download 50gb in a phone .. :/ No, Mycelium works similar to electrum (connects to their server) while the schildbach app works similar to multibit (connects to different full nodes and gets certain information, but not the entire blockchain). I personally use both. Mycelium e.g. can enforce a Tor connection via orbot. The schildbach app e.g. works great with testnet coins. |

Best trading advice I ever got was: never get rushed and never assume you are superior.
The later part applies on security issues, too. You can consider nearly everything ... not using online/website wallets ... storing backups of your harddisk ... always encrypt wallets using strong passwords ... writing down passwords on paper somewhere (LOL)*) ... never storing paper and backups on same place ... endless possibilities. In the end, you will loose some coins. Not much getting around that experience. If you are acting responsible the amount will be merely a "reminder size" *) I messed up like that. Brute force cracking your own wallet, tools like that anywhere available? Yep, spread your coins around so you will only miss a fraction and not all of them. I also prefer to play around with different wallets and small amounts to get a feeling for them before I store larger amount on them. You can try -> https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover to brute force your wallet password. If you have questions feel free to open a thread on the wallets section or send me a PM. |

if you won't a "server" / third party control your funds/privkey then you should never used any online/mobile wallet apps,-snip- The Schildbach App (aka "Bitcoin Wallet" for android) verifies in a decentralized fashion without the need to trust a server. |

Any error messages or can you post the debug.log around the time it stops?

At times we all finds it difficult to explains things, i never claimed not to create the account in question (wealthy$) but i claimed to have sold it and i wonder which part that you people cannot understand.
This is purely a wrong judgement and a crime against humanity because selling of account is allowed here.
I dont believe you. Do you have anything to back your claims? |

Offline means no internet, not "no webpage"! All these can run offline, but they are not by default and you need a dedicated offline computer for this. i can see that there are a lot of great wallets though blockchain.info is the best in my opinion
Its one of the worst wallet services in bitcoin history with the most critical issues. Its a wonder people are still using them and I can only think its because of the name. I understand what you're saying. But the statement is technically correct. No its not. If you downloading any of the wallets listed in the "offline" section they will instantly try to access something on the internet, be that a dnsseed for core or an electrum server for electrum. Call them "local" or at the very least explain what you mean when you say "offline", because I can assure you its not what people would commonly expect when they read "offline". They will think "paper wallet" and not "potentially offline". With your idea of "offline" all "mobile" wallets are "offline" wallets, because they can potentially run on a phone without SIM and WLAN. Bither even has a cold mode, that forces the phone offline when opening the wallet. whether wallet offline that you share truly safe? does not contain viruses ?
They just copied most of them from here -> https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-walletIts very unlikely that any of them comes with a virus. |

Just a heads up and explanation why I have not left the users in question a negative rating when you asked me to: Connections like these are a pain in the ass to verify. It looks to me like you didnt verify it yourself, but just trusted walletexplorer. There is not a single TX posted connecting any of the address, the archives have been put into place days later when the profiles might have been changed. Please change this in the future. The archive for wealthy$ is not available. I made one here -> https://archive.is/Cj9VQIf he accuse me about meadefreling account i will not argue because it is my account but it does not rob anybody as well but i have nothing to do with wealthy$ account in truth.
So, your only problem is, that we tied you to the wrong scammer? I'm terribly sorry we connected you to the wrong scum. Now move on, you're red for a reason. Yes, that is my problem i dont like to be tag with scammer or anything that could spoil my personality. #1 1GfuaAis2hQxEK8uk62vJWabALAYwJ4KL4 is the address used by wealthy$ [1] #2 1DuXLg2sDVdmQ5VFU8wzoqASvBtrG1s212 is the address you posted Oct 31th 2014[2] #3 Since #2 is wealthy$'s address so is 1PzosfjXHaQq7u5jC9YAeyd6bHA3UNrVy3 as they are both spend linked here[3] #4 since #3 is wealthy$'s address so is 1DuXLg2sDVdmQ5VFU8wzoqASvBtrG1s212 as they are both spend linked here[4] I hereby have linked you to someone that tried to scam by selling banned accounts, which should might get you banned btw, since you are possibly evading your ban. I cant say for sure because BadBear didnt post how long you had been banned. -snip-
Typical sig spammer ban duration escalation is now 14 days, 60 days, permanent. If it's someone I truly feel just needs a warning it will be 7, 30, permanent. This needs to stop so I'm going to be much more aggressive. If 8t doesn't work there's only 2 options left, and neither are good.
I do not unban accounts because they were sold. Many accounts being sold are on their second or third offense.
OP and all his alts are banned.
You (@noel57) can send the 0.005 btc for this work to the address in my profile.

Schließe das Electrum und kopiere eine andere BTC-Adresse z.B. irgendwo im Internet in einen Texteditor.
Weichen die Adressen dann auch ab?
Ich seh den Punkt nicht so richtig das festzustellen, aber wenn dann richtig. @OP kopier mal bitte: #1 18QrbXxkhYneLym3zZpjodZe7cjxCDkFvH (gültige Zeichen, aber ungültige Bitcoin Adresse) #2 18QrbXxkhYnelym3zZpjodZe7cjxCDkFvG (ungültige Zeichen, ungültige Adresse) und poste die Ergebnisse hier. |

Am logischsten ist es, dass der Clipboard Hijacker direkt im Electrum verstaut ist. Wenn ich ein Hacker wäre, würde ich es genau da unterbringen, da es am einfachsten ist.
Das ist Quatsch, wenn der Virus einen Virenscanner austricksten will muss er im OS sitzen. Electrum hat gar nicht die nötigen Rechte um sowas abzuziehen. Andere Möglichkeit ist ein Virus, der an einem anderen Programm hängt, aber das ist unwahrscheinlicher, da Viren etwas schwieriger zu programmieren sind und häufig im Virenscanner erkannt werden.
Also vielleicht kannst du in deinem Browser nachsehen, von wo das Electrum geladen wurde, dann kann man vielleicht rausfinden, ob es das Electrum ist, oder ob es von wo anders kommt!
Ich halt es auch für unwahrscheinlich das ein fake Electrum die Ursache ist, dann wäre es (aus sicht eines Angreiffers) viel einfacher den Seed heimlich auf einen Server zu kopieren und man muss nicht kompliziert Adressen im Clipboard finden und austauschen. @OP Kopie hier vom anderen Thread: Es gibt einen Virus der Bitcoin Adressen austauscht. Ich weiß nicht wie du gescannt hast, aber ein infiziertes System kann sich nicht selbst prüfen und korrekte Ergebnisse liefern. Nachtrag: dagegen tun ohne neu installieren kann man einiges aber es besteht immer die Gefahr das der Virus noch da ist. Wenn Du das riskieren möchtest... Ich würd neu aufsetzen und jede Datei dreimal umdrehen ob Du die wirklich noch brauchst oder vielleicht woanders n Backup hast. Insbesondere bei allem was ausführbar ist.
Der Post gehört definitiv in "Anfänger und Hilfe". |
