Will Somebody reputable here please tag my account thats hacked before anyone gets scammed. If i ever get my account back in my possession then ill request to have it taken off.

Here is my account
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=513600

I really suggest you to read Potato Chips's post. In all honesty, nobody will tag an account if you don't post a signed message from an address staked with that account. If people would just take your word for it, and tag this account, what's stopping you from creating dozens of new accounts and getting everybody you disagree tagged red by dt?

I realise this sounds unfair, and it's probably the last thing you want to hear when you've just lost your account, but posting signed messages is one of the only types of proof of account ownership accepted on this forum...

I transfered bitcoins from my wallet to my
new valhalla account

the transaction was successfull
but when i checked my valhalla account, ... no money has arrived  Undecided
and valhalla support doesnt answer questions..  Embarrassed

and as usual my valhalla account number has changed in the meanwhile...

if i check the transaction on the blochchain site
everything looks fine...
https://blockchain.info/tx/5aee526f9b6320b6a898c656654a88b7b8fbb71f003619853c7f5118ef8f2cc9

but ... where my money has gone... . ?

thanks for any ideas

reininger, schweiz



i see you translated your post, great Smiley
As for your problem: if the valhalla deposit addresses were either 1BdynZP1WgugRuicK3bQhpYpKQwCJkxE1H or 1Fq4FDxYKpNz1pVh4f5GhuAfmg5XoaUbjG, there should be no reason why they didn't credit your account.
The transaction was confirmed (like you said).

There are many things that could've gone wrong: either valhalla is a scam, or is experiencing technical difficulty's, or maybe you miscopied the deposit address, or your pc is infected with one of those virusses that change addresses in the clipboard? Is there a way you can find historic deposit addresses within the valhalla interface? (i don't know this service, so i don't know which features they offer).

Anyways, there is no way to cancel or reverse a transaction, especially if it has 2000+ confirmations... So if you sent BTC to the wrong address, you basically lost it... If you've sent to the correct address, only valhalla can credit your account or refund you, if they're unwilling to do this, you can try to put some legal pressure on them, or open up a scam report on this forum and hope they chose to refund you to avoid losing credibility on this forum.
2823  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Recovering electrum wallet without wallet.dat on: February 17, 2018, 01:32:21 PM
Thank you for the reply!

bitcoin.dat file => maybe, it could *potentially* be your wallet, a .dat extension could also mean it's a wallet that has been generated using bitcoin core.
If it is so, could you please tell how I can use it or where I can read about it? It isn't available for choosing in the attempt to open existing wallet. And all the search keeps pointing me to the wallet.dat file (damn these too smart search engines)

password > only usefull *if* it's the pasword from your bitcoin.dat. IF it's a private key, it *could* be the private key of one of your addresses... It would be even better if it were a master private key. Electrum's master private key starts with xprv. Could you tell us what's the first letter and how many characters this password has?
It is 34 characters long and starts with digits '14'.

Usually, electrum's default wallet is called "default_wallet", There are a couple things you can try:
1) find out wether it's an ascii file, or not (in linux, just type "file bitcoin.dat".
2) you can try to open a copy of the .dat-file using notepad++
3) you can install bitcoin core, rename bitcoin.dat to wallet.dat and place it in the default directory (~/.bitcoin on a linux box), then start core and look in the debug.log to check if the wallet was valid
4) you can rename a copy of the bitcoin.dat to default_wallet and see if you can open it with electrum (altough i doubt it'll work).
5) you can use db_dump to see if it's a berkelydb dbfile

34 characters starting with 14 doesn't sound like a standard private key generated with electrum, sorry...
2824  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What is bitcoind, bitcoin-qt, bitcoin-cli? on: February 17, 2018, 01:01:16 PM
bitcoind is a Bitcoin service daemon, which is a program that runs in the background and with which a user can't usually interact directly during it's runtime. This is a full node server that downloads that creates a P2P network and synchronizes the blockchain and verifies transactions and blocks.

bitcoin-cli is a command-line interface for Bitcoin Core client that connects to a running instance of bitcoind daemon. User can interact with this program and do any necessary functions with it that will control the bitcoind service as well as the possibility of using a Bitcoin wallet to send and receive funds, among other functions that Bitcoin Core client provides.

bitcoin-qt is a program that, unlike bitcoind and blitcoin-cli, has a graphical environment. It acts as both bitcoind and bitcoin-cli, as it is running a full node service while providing a user with a graphical environment to control that service, as well as other wallet and non-wallet functions. It also provides a regular command-line interface when you go to Help->Debug window->Console.

Thanks!

Then, what runnable program should I distribute to normal users? (Most of them would just need wallet service (send, receive money, check history))

bitcoin-qt (mycoin-qt) is it? But this also at first should synchronize all the past data?

IF you want your users to use a gui wallet, then yes, you should distribute bitcoin-qt. Both bitcoind and bitcoin-qt start from the same default datadir, and use the same default configuration file. If you start either, the synchronisation process will start. As a matter of fact, you could start bitcoind -daemon, let it run untill the synchronisation is half done, then stop it properly and use bitcoin-qt do do the other half of the synchronisation (i don't see a reason why you should do this, but it is possible).

Personally, i'm a bigger fan of running bitcoind in deamon mode, then using bitcoin-cli to communicate with the daemon. This way i don't need to open an annoying gui... I don't know the level of expertise of your users, but it *might* be a good idear to distribute both...

Either translate this post into english, or move it to your regional subforum. If you post an english translation, i'll see if i can help you out.
2826  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Recovering electrum wallet without wallet.dat on: February 17, 2018, 12:53:30 PM
I've created electrum wallet several years ago and wasn't very wise about backups back there. In fact, I just didn't understand what exactly I should've had saved.
Now when I've tried to finally recover the wallet I found out that I don't have wallet.dat file. Also I've never created a seed from what I can remember.
I have:
- bitcoin.dat file
- all the info about the single transaction of purchasing bitcoin (it is the only thing I've ever did with my wallet)
- QR-code with which I can login into my wallet but only in read-only mode
- Some password that absolutely is related to my wallet, but I genuinely can not remember what exactly it is and don't even know where I can enter it. (That's not the seed, just not very long string of letters and digits. I also doubt it is private key - the procedure of exporting it looks not-so-obvious and I, unfortunately, wasn't great in reading and understanding tutorials back there)

Is there any chance I can recover the wallet with any of this, or without the wallet.dat I'm doomed?

bitcoin.dat file => maybe, it could *potentially* be your wallet, a .dat extension could also mean it's a wallet that has been generated using bitcoin core.
tx info => useless in regards to recovering your wallet
qr code => probably useless, it's probably the qr of a deposit address (since you say it's read only)
password > only usefull *if* it's the pasword from your bitcoin.dat. IF it's a private key, it *could* be the private key of one of your addresses... It would be even better if it were a master private key. Electrum's master private key starts with xprv. Could you tell us what's the first letter and how many characters this password has?
2827  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Wallet with fixed address on: February 16, 2018, 10:32:46 AM

This isn't a bitcoin wallet... I wouldn't bring an altcoin wallet in a bitcoin wallet discussion...

You sound like Bitcoin is more of a religion to you than a digital token so are you sure you can handle it
if/when bitcoin get knocked off the number one spot ?

Nope, bitcoin isn't a religion...  The OP posted his question in the BITCOIN Developement and technical discussion section... There is a subforum dedicated to all altcoins, all altcoin discussion is supposed to go in there... When i started out in this forum, posting altcoin stuff in the bitcoin subforum would be a sure way to get ridiculed by other members.
It seems, nowadays, people let this slide, but to be honest, when the OP asks a BITCOIN wallet question, and people start dragging in ALTCOINS, it gets pretty confusing for newbies. What happens if you're a newbie, and you have the same question as the OP? If you read somebody's post advising an altcoin wallet, i wouldn't be supprised if the newbie would end up with more questions than he initially had (why does my address start with 0x instead of 1, why can't i withdraw my BTC to DEX,...). This is exactly why the forum has dedicated bitcoin and altcoin subforums.
2828  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is there any way to confirm our transactions on personal laptop? on: February 15, 2018, 02:51:46 PM
you can only do that if you are willing to start using your laptop as a miner, which isn’t profitable, at the end you end up making little cash and there are many possibilities that you would not be able to confirm your own transactions yourself.Provided you are not deciding to mine there is no way its going to work, only miners can confirm transactions on the network after solving complex algorithms and even if it does work there are chances your transaction would not be in your mining block.


next to necro-posting, did you bother to read the other posts in this topic? There were only 10 of them, including mine... My answer was only 5 posts higher, and it clearly disproved the fact that you can confirm your own transactions using a laptop...
You're currently a member, this means you've passed the stage of newbie and junior member. People do expect a basic amount of knowledge from your posts...
2829  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to prevent Rejected Shares? on: February 15, 2018, 10:42:41 AM
In general, there are only a couple things you can do to get a lower rejected share %:
1) make sure you have up-to-date firmware/mining software
2) make sure your network connectivity is OK... Maybe switch to a pool with a lower ping latency?

Getting a rejected share once in a while is normal, usually it's a stale or a duplicate share... I wouldn't worry about the numbers you indicated in your OP, they seem well within bounds to me.

2830  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Wallet with fixed address on: February 13, 2018, 12:23:13 PM

This being said: i never recommand anybody to start using a web wallet, starting a wallet service as a novice user without any trust is a bad idear (IMHO)
Thx.
If I maintain most bitcoin source as-is, other developer can make my coin's wallet with using that bitcore API?

If you clone bitcoin, your developer *should* be able to clone bitcore, changing the same parameters that were changed when cloning bitcoin...

I will not use it because it will kill your phone, use pc if intend to mining, the results you can not match your phone's life
not useful if using too many scam phones hanging around

Fixed that for you... We're not in the altcoin subforum, so we're talking about BITCOIN mining. At current diff, mining BTC with your PC is a very, very, very bad idear.

2834  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: best hot wallet ? on: February 07, 2018, 10:27:25 AM
There are many wallet for crypto,
Such as-
Electrum,
Mycelium,
Jaxx,
Blockchain,
Exodus
and Coinbase for simple & easier wallet.
I like Electrum wallet. It is more secure, you can also use this wallet. Or if you a beginner then only Transactions wallet is coinbase better.
Can you give me best BTC wallet? I know coinbase better for a beginner but huge all transaction fees... so I ignore Coinbase , you can say how can I do?
Thanks for advance.
which one is best bitcoin wallet its depends on your demand and uses.if you want to hold your coin than you need to hold your coin into paper wallet or hardware wallet.if you want to do daily transaction you can use blockchain wallet.
here you can found good bitcoin wallet https://bitcoin.org/

I wouldn't recommand an online wallet, not even for daily transactions.
If you want to do daily transactions and own a lot of BTC, i'd recommand a hardware wallet. If you don't own a lot of BTC, a desktop wallet on a clean PC will probably suffice.

The only reason for using an online wallet (imho) is when you're travelling, and you need access to a small amount of BTC from anywhere in the world... Even then, i'd probably use an encrypted mobile wallet instead.
2835  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin Miner on Windows Phone on: February 07, 2018, 06:23:51 AM
Sorry guys to disappoint you but I'm still mining with my Lumia 1020. Yeah I know it's sounds crazy but I'm doing this since November last year. It is just for fun, not real profit. In the begging was like around 8000 satoshi every week, then started to make 5000 every 2 weeks now its more like 5000 in 3-4 weeks. Till now I have mined approx 80 000 Satoshi. The phone is at work so no bills for electricity.
Here is the proof :


The image shows you're creating SCRYPT hashes, bitcoin's POW algo is SHA256D, so whatever is happening, you're not mining bitcoin with your phone.

IF, for example you're mining Litcoin with that phone, this calculator tells me that at current diff, you should be mining around 21 litoshi's/day... That's ~600 litoshi's/month... Still far from the 5000 satoshi's you say you mine...
This leads me to belief that the software is either mining an even lower diff coin but mislabeling it as bitcoin, or it's doing something completely different (like showing you adds, or mining even another coin with a mobile friendlyer POW algo, if such a thing even exists), or you *might* be looking at your stats wrong... Several years ago, when the diff was many factors lower than it is today, 5000 sat/week was a possibility, maybe you're looking at historic stats?
2836  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: HashCoin - Start mining free. on: February 05, 2018, 09:17:51 AM
Hello guys. I start to earn money via HashCoin

Site: https://hashcoin.host

Who thinks about this service? I already output about 0.01BTC Smiley



What do i think about this service: It looks exactly like all the other ponzi scams out there... I wouldn't invest a single satoshi there, nor would i ever recommand anybody to invest their hard earned funds on a ponzi...
There is no 100% proof, but the modus operandi is exactly the same as all the other ponzi's, as are the other telltale signs like the hidden whois info, the new domain, the used template, the unrealistic profit expectation, the refferal program,...

Previously I apologize if I am wrong place to ask this.
I have a computer with game specs, with 8gb of ram. But I do not understand about hardware. I want to try to mining bitcoin or altcoins. Is it possible that I could benefit if I just mining through software or application mining and not use added hardware?

I really want to mining crypto, but I do not know where to start, is there anybody can tell me?

Thank you before.

Bitcoin mining = no, you can't make any profit whatsoever unless you invest in a latest gen asic and have a good plan and electricity rate.

Altcoin mining = maybe... If you have a decent GPU you can potentially mine some altcoins, however, if you want more info, you should ask your question in the altcoin mining subforum

Good luck
Well that is my problem, I do not know about the hardware and anything to be prepared to start mining. Is there any difference between mined bitcoin and altcoins? which one is easier to apply to a beginner miner like me? Mining bitcoin or altcoins?

Thank you for responding to my thread. Smiley

Easyer? When talking about altcoin mining with a GPU and bitcoin mining with an ASIC? Defenately bitcoin mining with a recent ASIC...
- Basically, you start by looking for a good price for an S9 + PSU + S&H + import duties...
- Next you visit a mining calculator like https://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/bitcoin-mining-calculator
- you fill in all the questions on the mining calculator... An S9 hashes at around 13500 Gh/s and draws about 1400 Watt. A default pool fee is ~1%, the price is the price you found for the S9 + PSU + S&H + import duties, the electricity rate is your local electricity rate.
- Next you see if the ROI is reasonable. Do realise that if the diff jumps up, the ROI rises, if the BTC/USD price goes down, the ROI rises, if the blocks halve: the ROI rises

IF the ROI is reasonable given your power cost and the total price for the ASIC, you can just buy the S9, plug it in, surf to it's web gui, fill in the details you get from your favorite pool and start mining.


Altcoin mining, on the other hand, usually requires you to look into which altcoin you want to mine, you'll have to research about your GPU, then setup the mining software on your PC and run it, but constantly keep an eye on the shifting altcoin markets... I don't know a lot about altcoin mining tough, if you have more questions, you should ask them in the altcoin mining subforum.

One very important sidenote tough: eventough in my opinion, nothing beats the user experience of just buying an S9, plugging it in and surfing to the web gui, the maintenance and reparation of an S9 is something completely different. IF you burn your GPU, there's a fair chance it's still under guarantee (a lot of those GPU's have 3 years factory warrantee). You can buy a replacement GPU in your local computer shop, and if you're done mining you can get a fair amount of cash for your second hand GPU.
An S9 ASIC on the other hand, has only 3 months (very limited) guarantee. It breaks a lot easyer than a decent GPU, and if it does, you're usually in a lot of trouble: you'll have to send boards to china, wait, get your claim rejected,..... Also, when a new (more efficient) ASIC hits the market, the second hand prices for your ASIC will plummet.
