Last poll made it clear: 90%+ of people over here were like 'wtf is goldcoin' or 'goldcoin is ubershitty'
3642  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Need Help: Importing wallet.dat on: June 12, 2013, 11:09:22 PM
Put wallet.dat in ~/.altcoin

i'm not sure i follow. is that off of the root directory? not familiar with the filesystem in linux(although at one point i used linux 100 percent.) been a while. so for example i would put the wallet.dat inot ~/.digitalcoin ?
~ is the home directory, not the root
That should be /home/username/.digitalcoin

After detaching the db as the other post tell you and recopying the files, then if you want to actually use
the files on the card instead of copying them to ~/.bitcoin/, run "bitcoind -h" and look at all the options.

I think the one you want is "-datadir=<dir>".

Remember if you plan on using the card on different bitcoin clients you'd need to always use the
-detachdb option.

Beware, -datadir will search/put all the files of .bitcoin on the SD, including wallet.dat

Use a paper wallet its 100% more safe.
Not 100%

Lose the paper, you're dead.
Keep it in the pocket before washing, you're dead.
Too much wind, you're dead.
A relative comes and see it, you're dead.
Mice, you're dead.
Stupid dog, you're dead.

This should be sticked
If it is, I suggest adding the double-spending method to "If you sent the transaction"

If you sent the transaction:
Why waiting? Afaik it's not necessary but I may be wrong.

If the former was your point, then I guess I should have stated that I was referring to post #248

There's a guy who doesn't stop spamming the Devcoin thread
Spam can be funny but he's currently writing 50% of the posts, I think it's a bit too far...
I could have reported him but there's not a specific post that is annoying, it's the overall set of posts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=125869;sa=showPosts
3652  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Signing short messages on: June 12, 2013, 09:09:08 PM
I don't know much about encryption but I recall some older forms had security issues if you had messages that were too short. (Shorter than the key length? Not sure.) Is there any similar issues with signing messages with bitcoin? If I ask someone to sign a single word for instance, just 4-10 characters long, is that any sort of a security issue?

Thanks.

I still dont understand how to encrypt text..

Bitcoin doesn't do any encryption of text, but it can sign text to prove you own the public key. Since it's the same underlying science as normal public key encryption I wanted to be sure signing short messages didn't open any sort of attack on the private key.
You can encrypt text with bitcoin private keys

But you cant encrypt with public key and decrypt with private key, right..?
No, you can (that's what I meant, sorry for being unclear)
For now, the clients themselves don't do that but it is possible as I made an implementation

Can I get regular cleanings? I would not want to give up sinning totally. Some of the sins are among my favorite pastimes.
Also, can I still visit hell when I'm dead? I have a lot of friends that I assume are going to hell. The parties they will throw there are going to be epic. I really don't want to miss out.

yes u can. if u give me enough coins i'll take them with me in visiting u in hell (and buy you a drink in there with coins).


Bars in hell accept bitcoins! Sweet. And they say you cant take it with you. Perhaps I can use BTC to get across the river Styx also? Hmm.

hmmm...i donno. i'm here just to resolve you from your sins. Repent sinner! Judgment day is near Smiley

I'll do you one better.

I will ABSOLVE you of your sins.

First of all, the private key is simply printed on the physical coin, no SD card involved.
This doesn't change anything

Anyway, you proposal has no advantage at all, because it is equivalent to transferring bitcoin to another address. You can throw the physical coin away after that.
You just didn't understand his proposal...
3659  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: fixed public key coin transfer (for zero-trust physical coin transfer) on: June 12, 2013, 05:33:59 PM
Wow that's smart...

I see one small drawback:
A client that would want to check if the n-th recipient can do so will have to download and process all the previous base changes to check everything is ok

Forget it, it would be just like a normal transaction: it would be verified change by change, assuming the previous was ok because we validated it

This is really a beautiful possibility

It's not that Asian girls are demigods. It's just that western women suck
Isn't that the point?
