Interesting read regarding Bitcoin scams. ActiveMining, Labcoin and Icedrill are all mentioned!

In addition to gathering data directly from the blockchain, we also analyze scams
that raise funds through selling shares. We gather the share holdings from BitFunder and
cross list that with cost of the shares from announcements on bitcointalk.org.
For each scam, we omit the top holding who we verify is the scammer in all instances.

It's a nice read...

Can you clarify on what has failed?

I don't doubt the technology. It's genius. I just doubt that it would be valued as a currency in a free market when it's not backed by a commodity.

In this particular case, not being backed by something physical is an advantage, and a big one, check E-gold.

Well, those are not mutually exclusive.

Bitcoin is backed by the laws of Nature:

Selling those computers for bitcoin may be the best option.

Check this website, there are a lot of crypto currencies listed: http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency

I still cannot access the site.

Where do you live? Pirate Bay may be blocked there.

This is the original piratebay site not honeypot collecting users information?

The original at https://thepiratebay.se/, although there seems to be disagreements between the people involved in the website management https://torrentfreak.com/pirate-bay-wont-make-a-full-comeback-staff-revolt-150127/ .

Listen genius - silver is retarded!!! It is in the shitter and you all lost a shit ton of money. Get out while you still can. Or, just remain STUPID!!!!

This is uber-ridiculous.

I know politicians tend to be technology ignorant, but this stuff is beyond stupid.

Well, this was fun, thanks for the promotion.

Really fast withdrawal.

Thanks!

I have two keys to import, one starts with 'D' the other with 'C', same error with both.

Your private keys aren't in Wallet Import Format, they are base58 which doesn't work with Bitcoin Core.

On blockchain.info, go to import/export > export unencrypted and on the dropdown "select private key format" select "Bitcoin-Qt Format". They should begin with 5, K or L.

That's it!!!

Thanks Blazr and shorena for your help.

What is the first character of the private key?

Try importing it without a label:

Code:

importprivkey yourPrivateKeyInWalletImportFormat

I've tried that.

I have two keys to import, one starts with 'D' the other with 'C', same error with both.

When trying to import a private key in Bitcoin core v0.10.0rc1 I'm getting:

Invalid private key encoding (code -5)

Address was generated at Blockchain.info.

I'm trying to import the address with:

Code:

importprivkey yourPrivateKeyInWalletImportFormat "TheLabelThatIWant"
