i just generate 1 address but i dont know how to convert the private key into a notepad ?
If you use linux you can just drag over the text with the same, as as you would here. If you use windows you have to make a rightclick and select "mark" (might be a different word). |

Already did sir, but seems they are not replying to me. If you want help from the forum you posted in the wrong section. Its not even a technical problem.If you think they scammed you and cant get a resolution via their customer support you can open a scam accusation in the section with the same name. Make sure you read the stickies in that section before doing so. |

I'm new to buying bitcoins and transferring them. So basically i bought some bitcoins from LocalBitcoins then sent them to my watch only electrum wallet. My BTC balance on electrum says i've got nothing. Does this mean i have lost my BTC forever? Blockchain is showing that they was sent to 2 addresses. I'm sorry if i don't make much sense. I'm very new to this stuff.
A watch-only wallet means that you cannot control the Bitcoins. This means, you technically no longer own the Bitcoins. If you can contact the owner of the wallet to try and get your Bitcoins then that may work. If you have ownership of that wallet or the private keys, you are fine! Thanks for the reply. How do i contact the owner? Where did you get that wallet from? Did someone else give it to you? Did you create it yourself? Here is the id: 1J8MtJ2qQ2GR51VNaniXak6ghzoE953jJx
That is an address. Is this your address or is it the address of localbitcoins? This is the address of Localbitcoins If thats the case than you can send the coins from your localbitcoins account to a wallet you created. |

But if the node receives a lot of request, how does it know which connection to drop, or which one is from attacker?
Its a TCP connection, you know the sender. If the sender fills you with nonsense you end the connection and refuse to accept it again for some time. |

I did change the password but didn't even consider that the email attached could be used to get the account back. now I know. another expensive lesson.
Not to excuse Fruito being a scumbag scammer, but if you can't understand the simple basics like changing the email address of the account you just bought, then you should not be buying accounts. The whole idea of buying an account is ludicrous anyway, but bitcointalk allow it.. Victim blaming, really classly. -snip-
how can i prove i'm not selling this account, this account was got hacked and the hacker sell it ?
How and when did you find out it was hacked? What did you do once you found out it was hacked? |

I was away for a few days so perfect time to clock sync. Was behind ~40 hours when I started. It was clearly working out of order, clearing several hours at once after some time. CPU is i5 4. Gen and stayed at 80% on all 4 cores. Disk is a cheap Crucial SSD. 2 min. - 105 MB - 3 nodes - 26h
3 min. - 150 MB - 4 nodes - 19h
4 min. - 153 MB - 4 nodes - done
now* - 206 MB - 23 nodes
* few hours later

What does the core build in bandwith monitor show?
Unfortunately when I was in Australia I didn't bother to look at that - from here I typically see problems that are due to the GCF (very slow ping times, etc.). I wish I had paid more attention to it in Australia (I was busy with some "real life" stuff at that time) but I would be very surprised if connectivity and bandwidth where the issue when I was there (am pretty sure I ran Bitcoin with and without a SOCKS proxy whilst I was there and my proxy is not in China). For your case I wonder if you cant connect to one of the miner nodes. They probably dont have their IPs public, but maybe you can get one if you ask. Connecting directly to them with -connect=IP could help you catch up. |

What does the core build in bandwith monitor show? Does it show a large spike of downloading data at the beginning? This is usually the case for me, once the data is downloaded it takes a bit (not 30 minutes though) until its shown as fully synced. I have at max 32MBit/s downstream, but I never saturate that with core anyway.
If that is indeed the case, the reason would be disk or CPU.
If the data trickles in instead, its probably your connection to other nodes.

I want to give away 0.1 BTC in 100 x 0.001 BTC fractions to members of a community.
What is the best way to do it in one transaction?
With a high fee? Not sure what you are asking here, but I dont think its which client service to use as that hardly matters. |

I'd like to point out this all started because you gave me a bullshit negative trust in the first place.
Trust is meant for deals, and you abused this by posting a fake trust on my profile.
Its not a trade feedback system, hence the name trust. Anyone can leave any rating for any reason they like as long as they dont spam. It might make you look like an arsehole or idiot though. Upon questioning this you were rude and I left the negative trust for you.
So you do the same they did to you? Didnt you just proclaim its "meant for deals" and abusive? As i already stated, all of these trusts on both sides are invalid and I will happily remove mine if you were to remove yours.
Have a nice day!
I would highly appreciate it if you two would keep your nagging to PMs or at the very least in the correct subboard (reputation). Dont bother answering, Im not going to read another post in this thread. |

I personally prefer Satoshi, its way more fun to transfer a million satoshi than 0.01 btc or 10 mBTC.
No seriously, just use whatever you prefer, I think most are familiar with the denominations
1 BTC = 108 (100 million) satoshi
1 mBTC = 105 (100k) satoshi
1 µBTC = 102 (100) satoshi
Yes, and do you see what the common denominator is here? It's the satoshi unit, and that's one of only two that should be used in my opinion. I strongly, strongly believe that one should either use satoshi (or ksat: 100ksat = 1btc) or BTC. Everything else is unnecessary and only introduces more steps in describing what should be a very simple quantity. 100ksat is not 1BTC though, you might wana be careful when trading. |

What happens when someone else gets your FULL wallet and all the keys? There are other wallets aside from Core that do have some sort of HD.
OK but what happens when you forget to backup your wallet (it happened, and will still happen, to a lot of people)? Nothing is perfect, but I think you will concur that safely storing a key ONCE AND FOR ALL is much more convenient than periodically repeating a procedure and you much more likely to lose money because of the latter. I think it depends on the person. It's a case to case thing. I have local backups of my wallet. And those backups have backups too, in another city. And I have backups in another country, just in case the one I'm in disappears. If I forget, then that's my fault. If people forget, then, that's their fault. If you get hit by a bus, well, it's the bus driver's fault most of the time (but often times, it's really your fault.) I have several wallets, and each of those wallets have several addresses pre-generated for that wallet. Like a few thousand. They are used for different purposes. They already have backups of course, and I only need to update them maybe once a year, if at all. The only other wallet application I will use is Armory (and it runs on top of bitcoind / core), but I haven't gotten around to it because it still does not use compressed keys or compressed addresses. I have the bitcoin android wallet, but that only stores one key. I don't even use it all that often. Core wallets are small. Like 1 or 2 megabytes for typical ones. The biggest wallet I have is less than 7 megabytes, and RAR compresses it to about 2. You can get several USB flash drives for cheap. You can email them to yourself (encrypted of course). I've also dealt with alt-coins, and, as habit, I have backups of all of them, even if those coins are dead (or dying.) Which reminds me, I'll go make a backup right now. And, I just did. Even with 100% redundancy, they total up to 9 megabytes compressed with RAR. I'm going to go now and copy those backups to another partition. Then to another USB drive. Good habits. When you hold a non-trivial amount of coins, you tend to be very careful with them. Go buy like a block or two worth now, before it halves to 12.5 BTC next year. Hold that. I'm pretty sure you will quickly develop good habits of backing up your wallets. As you can tell, I'm not a fan of HD or even D wallets. I may change my mind in the future, as they are almost random looking. I agree with you, dont get me wrong here, but a seed is a good solution regardless of habits. Having a single point in time where you have to care about a backup allows users to achieve better security with less effort. Encrypt and split the seed (see e.g. Armory), put them in several places and be done with it is far superior to a repeated process of creating encrypted and split backups and deliver them to several places. |

I dont think burn addresses fit here, they are easily created. The difficult part is to create an address you have a private key for. |

Your activity should not have much of an effect on other users, however I would not recommend updating the initial information through wifi, you will be there forever. I think you would be safe for now, for there are not to many people looking to hack public wifi bitcoin access, just my opinion though.
Thanks for the warning. I'm considering using a dead mobile as offline storage. Dead as in without a network connection of course. There is nothing to hack, the data is verified locally if its modified it will be discarded. If I wanted to get hold of a bitcoin wallet I would not sit at a McD for a week either. Its more likely that you are targeted in general over a public WiFi (e.g. your Windows) than a targeted attack on full nodes. Finding full nodes is easy online, why go to a place where the chance is smaller than finding a block with a CPU? |

It's not that. I left it on all night and it rotated through at least 30 different severs. As soon as my data plan reset it started working again.
Is there anyone else that is cheap like me and tethers their pc to a connection that is only 2g? I know it sounds crazy slow, but this way I get unlimited phone, text, data, and internet for $19.99 month.
I just gave it a try for the sake of testing and cant confirm. Its pretty slow, yes. E.g. ping to googles DNS: $ ping 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=2377 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=2 ttl=54 time=3012 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=3 ttl=54 time=3214 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=4 ttl=54 time=4211 ms

64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=11 ttl=54 time=426 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=12 ttl=54 time=222 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=13 ttl=54 time=304 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=14 ttl=54 time=380 ms

syncing an electrum wallet takes only ~1 minute though. Edit: this post took ~20 seconds. |

Nice attempt DannyHamilton! There must be a way to make it much more efficient as the last three addresses were found so fast it couldn't have been by brute forcing.
Maybe if we learn a bit more from how the numbers were generated it could greatly optimize the program.
"7" and "8" are close together as well. Even if the numbers are created randomly is not that unreasonable to assume that a few numbers in the series are close together. @Danny does the tool you wrote/modified support using a GPU by any chance? I would suspect thats the only way to get to 50+ bit within a reasonable amount of time. If we assume similar performance to vanitygen, we can expect 30-40 million keys per modern GPU. Shorena, I think you have a gtx 970? Yes, but I am not at home until January 2nd. If so, that would be a faster way of making the program which cracks the keys quicker however, this depends on whether the program supports the cracking via a gpu...
How much of a faster process would it be? 200%?
Not sure what performance Danny gets out of their CPU. Speed-up for a GPU is more in terms of 20-60 times vs. a CPU |
