vout depends on the input transaction. The first vout of a transaction is 0, the second 1 and so. You'll have to refer to the input transaction on blockexplorer.com to see which vout went to which address.

You can refer to multiple inputs. Just separate them with commas:

createrawtransaction [{txid:aaaaaaaa,vout=1},{txid:aaaaaaaa,vout=2}] {m2222=90,m3333=9}

3303  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: paper wallet/private key question on: October 23, 2013, 07:23:52 PM
That sounds like the AES encrypted version of the wallet rather than the Base58 private key.

If you want to hand out paper wallets then don't go with blockchain.info (bci). They change policies all the time. For example you didn't have to associate an email with a wallet in the past but now you do. So better use a paper wallet generator:

Or if you like:

Don't waste your money on mining. Try some of the mining calculators and look at how much difficulty has been increasing. It's been increasing 30-40% every 2 weeks!

http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/

Right now I am not even sure buying and holding coins is a good idea. It's a bit of a bubble right now.

Some of the miner are worth while now as the Bitcoin price increases. Some was selling at 0.05 Bitcoin per GH/s and now it reduces this to 0.025...

Just run the numbers in that calculator and you'll see it is not worthwhile. A 30% difficulty increase every 2 weeks is a 70% increase every month! The last difficult increase was 41%!

The only scenario where mining would be worthwhile for us small fish is if you lived in a country where you couldn't buy bitcoins and the only way to get any would be by mining them. Also you could buy mining equipment in fiat. But that isn't the case at all. You need bitcoins to buy mining equipment so better to just hold onto the coins instead.

No not like blockchain.info. Inputs.io is an off-chain wallet meaning you are trusting the site with your coins. With blockchain.info you are responsible for your coins and the site owners have no access to them.
This is a common myth. Blockchain.info has multiple ways to access your coins:

1) Serve you a bugged JS file
2) Store your password when you use the API
3) Provide you with incorrect transaction data for double spending attacks

If blockchain.info (or someone with access to Blockchain.info) wanted to take your coins, they have a high success rate. It's a hybrid wallet, not a offline one that you compile from source.

1) You can compare the JS with what is on their github repo. Better yet use their browser extension.
2) Don't use their API or use a different wallet if you want API access.
3) Yep this is possible but you can just as easily double check transaction data on blockexplorer.com

The big difference between inputs.io and bci is that bci does not run a lending operation that offers extremely high interest rates.

A lot of people start off with online wallets. But it is better to move to a desktop client once you've got the hang of things.

If an envelope were to show up in my mail box with cash and a bitcoin address, how would I (or anyone else) know which of the world's population actually sent it?

Is your address public information?

It is said that banks lend money to people who don't need it.
3309  Economy / Lending / Re: inputs.co and coinlenders on: October 22, 2013, 11:09:32 PM
Yes,
inputs.io = online wallet (like blockchain.info).
CL = bank ...

No not like blockchain.info. Inputs.io is an off-chain wallet meaning you are trusting the site with your coins. With blockchain.info you are responsible for your coins and the site owners have no access to them.

Have you tried package forwarding services? They can also buy the item for you and ship it to you.

viaddress, bongous, shipito are the ones I've heard about
3311  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How much is public? on: October 22, 2013, 04:13:30 PM
TLDR; of this thread is that it is ALL public. Longer explanation follows:

9.9/10 people (yes I actually said .9 people) use one address for all their transactions. This is a fact. So all their transaction data is public knowledge.

Those who use multiple addresses can also be tracked. It just requires more work. Special algorithms may have to be crafted to do this but I bet it can be done.

Also if you use something like Electrum all your addresses are revealed to the server you connect to. The connection between your system and the server is SSL encrypted. Now we know that the NSA has broken that so all your transaction data is known to them too.

You won't get a better answer than the one given to you by ThomasV in that other thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=303969.0

Regarding coin control it can mean two things depending on context:

- The ability to control which addresses make up the input of a transaction and where the change goes.

- A special version of bitcoin-qt that allows you to do the above.

Search the forum for more info.

3315  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I generated an address that already exists on: October 20, 2013, 12:37:06 PM
Guys could you please actually read the thread before posting? This is not a bad PRNG and NOT an address collision. This is a problem with the OP's wallet. It is recycling old addresses he has already used:


Open up the debug console (help->debug window->console), type in:

gettransaction 5aed0ce301ecd17b237be9bd0dda7fa8fb7e2eb7f453c2ca1f27de160a23c791

If it returns that old transaction then that key was already in the wallet when that transaction hit your client.


When I do this, I see some transaction info. I didn't restore my wallet.

Still, I don't understand what you mean by saying it's always an old address from the keypool.

When I press "New address" button does it generate a brand new address that no one used before?
3316  Economy / Speculation / Re: When will October's bubble burst? on: October 19, 2013, 02:49:13 PM
I hope it bursts soon and eventually stabilises at some price point like during the last few months. This volatility makes it hard to buy and sell.

I have used this before and it's great:

https://github.com/grondilu/bitcoin-bash-tools

All you need is a linux installation. No Internet access required. But I don't know how safe it is. Anyone here who is experienced in Bash wants to take a look and review the code?
3319  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoind dies always... on: October 18, 2013, 01:17:14 PM
I have been able to run bitcoind on a VPS with just 768MB of RAM + 256MB vswap (openvz). Of course it only stays up for about a week before dying. This was with bitcoind 0.8.3. I thought they fixed this memory leak issue in 0.8.4. Anyway you can install monit. It will automatically restart the daemon if it dies.

BTW this thread is a little strange. The interaction between the OP and imrer seems a little artificial.

I only know how to write urdu in roman, otherwise I'd offer my help Smiley

How come? You live outside Pakistan?
