If they keep spamming, how is removing the signature a solution though? If the problem is spam the solution is to stop the spam. The incentive might be the signature but its hard to tell in advance. Maybe it can be an additional option to remove the signature. E.g. short period ban (3 days), followed by a slightly longer (7 days) removal of the signature. That way you can see if they just wait the 7 days or actually want to contribute w/o getting paid for it.
I'm talking about signature spammers in particular. In 99% of the cases the incentive is the paid signature. Now what you're suggesting seems acceptable to me. However, you're a bit soft. I'd go with a 3d ban followed by 30d removal of signature. It should not only be a 'test' to see whether they are going to continue posting in the period, but rather a punishment as well. Well the exact time frames should be determined by staff, but I think the idea of a mixed consequence to spam is good. Its not as hard to those that actually didnt know any better and want to improve and at the same time harder to those that only do it for the satoshi, because it removes the "I didnt do it for the signature" argument. |

isn't there something wrong with the signature? There seems to be a hidden character, if you copy/paste it in a basic texteditor you'll see an extra space  Missed that indeed thanks, blocktrail verified it so I thought it wasnt about the signature.... removed it, but still get the same error. Other messages like the below verify just fine. -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

this will most likely not happen because other rule-breakers without sig ad will get harsher punishment. also I don't see how this is better than temp-ban in terms of teaching them a lesson.
Instead of giving them a temporary ban, you remove their signature permanently. The problem resolves itself, their account becomes effectively useless in regards to signature campaigns. This seems much better than the current way of handling things. ban is better for spammers, heavier punishment is needed and if they dont want their account to be permanently banned then they should improve their posting quality.
Usually a lot of them don't. They keep spamming and then switch onto their next account if the current one gets banned. If they keep spamming, how is removing the signature a solution though? If the problem is spam the solution is to stop the spam. The incentive might be the signature but its hard to tell in advance. Maybe it can be an additional option to remove the signature. E.g. short period ban (3 days), followed by a slightly longer (7 days) removal of the signature.

Heißt meistens "sweep", z.B. bei Mycelium (Android):
Optionen (die 3 Punkte oben Rechts) -> Cold Storage -> QR Code.
Edit: die option scheint direkt senden zu wollen, alternativ.
Swipe links zu Accounts -> Schlüssel+ symbol antippen -> Advanced -> Scan
Das Schlüsselwort "Sweep" hat mich etwas weiter gebracht. Danke. Auch Blockchain.info hat was für Android https://blockchain.info/wallet/paper-tutorialLeider bieten Beide keine iOS Lösung an ;-( Danke soweit. Muss ich weiter suchen oder auf einen weiteren Tipp hier hoffen "Breadwallet" wird für iOS oft empfohlen, hab aber selber keine Äpfel von daher kann ich da wenig zu sagen. |

Hey,
ich möchte in einer Bitcoin Schulung Bitcoin Gutscheine im Wert von 5 mBTC als Paper Wallet Voucher verteilen.
Dann sollen die Teilnehmer sich eine Bitcoin Wallet auf dem Smartphone (Android & iOS) installieren und von dem Voucher sich die 5 mBTC in die neue Wallet importieren.
Alle Smartphone-Bitcoin-Wallet-Apps die ich getestet habe, verfügen zwar über eine Senden & Empfangen Funktion.
Beim Empfangen geht aber ausschliesslich die Möglichkeit, dass der Sender aktiv an die Bitcoin-Adresse abtippen bzw. den QR Code scannen muss.
Ich suche aber eine Lösung, bei der ich nicht jedem einzelnen Teilnehmer die 5 mBTC senden muss, sondern die Teilnehmer die mBTC selber importieren können.
Also ein App, mit dem man den QR Code (private Key bzw. Public Key) scannen und importieren kann.
Also quasi ein Import meiner Paper Wallet per Smartphone..
Hat jemand einen Tipp für mich?

Thats helping. Also besides running core and having incoming connections what else can or should I be doing? I only ask because the article mentions how few go beyond opening ports...what else should I do?
Thanks, just wanna try and support BTC with the resources I have.
I only skimmed it and the way I understood it is that they think "only a few get ports open". "beyond opening ports" would IMHO be to rent a VPS to have a node on a fixed IP with a better connection than most have at home. |

just search it in a search bar and thats it i think it is the easiest way to do that and it will surely work
How do you search for "any address"? Maybe like you copy and paste the address in a search bar. And from the result you can find the address and someone who post it. That was not the question though. The question was how to find any address someone posted. If OP knew the address they wouldnt need to search for it. |

Maybe we should add a section for campaigns that open and close often? Shorena, I bet you get tired of moving them constantly.
I like the idea, didnt catch you on IRC, but how about FLUX |

True, but it will still be relaying any new blocks and transactions that it receives. Pruning in 0.12 will have block relay enabled.
Can't I disable that as well? (If I really wanted to reduce bandwidth usage) I don't think you can explicitly disable block relaying but you can set the maxuploadtarget to be something really low so that you aren't uploading a lot of data. Pruning in 0.11 has block relay enabled as well AFAIK. This is my traffic the last few days with a pruned node and 39-42 connections:  Its a joke. I have 85GiB for the entire january while 150+GiB was normal before. |

-offtopic, start a new thread-
Also rpcuser and pass are required before bitcoind can start i think.
Yes they are, but as coinableS said it makes no sense that OP is asked to set up a full node to run a faucet. Its a common problem. You have an issue Y and think X is the solution, so instead of asking about Y you ask about X. I suspect OP bought some sort of script that is asking for the rpcuser and rpcpassword, but unless we know more about it we cant really help. |

Thanks for the information. .. How many posts can be done daily? is it according to the rank or something?
Indirectly yes. You have a post limit that decreases with higher activity. E.g. a newbie can only post every 360 seconds (5 minutes), while after a certain activity you can post every 4 seconds (you shouldnt though). Besides that, there is no limit to the number of posts you are allowed to make as long as you dont spam. # keep the posts ontopic even when others try to derail the topic # make sure you read the entire thread before you answer (or at the very least the last few pages of a very long thread), giving the same answer over and over again does not help anyone # if you state your opinion on something, explain a bit about why you have it. Dont post "I think x is y", but rather "I think x is y because of a". # dont copy someone elses posts (perma ban w/o warning) |

i just checked xotika and they seem to be full, also they dont pay for senior member any more as far as i can see
moved to CFNP -> http://pastebin.com/ZK3pzgUEI see Bitmixer.io Signature campaign in the list of active campaigns but its full,all their slots are taken
"Error! There are no free slots for new participants. Please try again later."
it should be in Closed for new participants campaigns list
Let me see what Mitchell thinks about this. |

Thanks. I am in the process of doing that.
It should end sometimes in next few hours.
One more question - I am backing my wallet.dat in a few places after every transaction in my bitcoin core wallet (I rarely use it)
In case my computer crashes and I install a new version of bitcoin core, I know I should copy my backup wallet back to the wallet directory.
I still don't understand one thing - in the newly installed bitcoin core - should I simply use my old pass phrase in order to send bitcoins?
Is this pass pharse basically the one that is protecting my wallet? (I have chosen a very strong one...)
Asaf
Yes, as CIYAM said. You can think of it like the password is protecting the file. It actually is, but not the entire file. Some information are not protected, e.g. your addresses and the label you gave them (if any). This is so you dont have to enter the password every time you start. This is also means if you set a new password you need to update your backups or remember both the old and the new password. Oh and nice you are using core and the password topic is up, make sure you make regular backups. The more you use the wallet the more addresses are used and new ones are created. The wallet keeps a stock of ~100 address and private keys hidden from you until you need them, so you should make backups roughly every 50 addresses used (or transactions created) to make sure you can recover fully. |

My god how can you guys store bitcoins on a cellphone?
Whats wrong with that? To store 0.1 BTC on a phone is the same risk you take when you have a few bills in your wallet. |
