Which one do you prefer?
Personally, i prefer a hardware wallet... Both your choices are ok, but they have a different use case: - a paper wallet can be used to deposit BTC without withdrawing... It's cheap and easy to make, but once you sweep it, you have to make a brand new one. - cold storage (i assume you mean using an airgapped pc) is more expensive (since you need a dedicated offline pc), but it can be used to deposit and withdraw A hardware wallet almost offers the security of an airgapped PC, but is much cheaper... |

Hello,
The good news is that I still remember the clues about the secondary password of my wallet
I am willing to provide all the information about the wallet for you, but I am afraid when you successfully decode you will get my bitcoin.
Currently I have 1 more case containing 7 BTCs, and it also has forgotten secondary password. It's heartbreaking to log in to Wallet successfully, seeing that the bitcoin is still intact and unusable.
At this time I need more help than ever ...
I am willing to give you $ 500 for you to help me install, but the btcrecover install phase is too difficult for a technically poor person like me, is there a way to do it the simplest way!
I don't think there is an easyer way than using btcrecover. I completely understand not willing to send an encrypted wallet to me (i wouldn't send any wallet to anybody ever). Maybe you can PM : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=130960 ? He has a history of cracking wallets, and has more trust than i do... |

How long does it take to decipher the wallet? Why do not you get all the wallet information from me and decode it?
I already answered this question  The first question (How long does it take to decipher the wallet?) answer: basically it's impossible to tell... It depends on how much input you can give about the possible passwords... If you chose a random 12 letter password and the only thing you can tell me is it contained the letter 'E', i won't even start bruteforcing it... I'd just tell you to concider the 2 BTC as lost. On the other hand, if you chose a 5-7 letter password and you're certain it contained the name of your dog, the first letter of your girlfriends last name and did not contain any special character, it'll probably be cracked in a very short time... The second question (Why do not you get all the wallet information from me and decode it?) If i can crack the file on my own machine and take $500 if i succeed, then send the remaining funds to an address of your choice, the risk becomes (much) smaller, but i don't know if i'm trusted enough to send a wallet file to... My advise in this case would be to search a really, really, really trusted person to give you encrypted wallet + password info to.
I'd still be willing to do this, but you do have to understand that you're sending a wallet + password hints to somebody that has no green trust, and has no record of handling other people's money  |

How many ways to step with each steps, each steps is 100 $, I will be back to the BTC of your steps per 1, If you have to plan 5 steps to be btcrecover. Please help me, I need real help and not deceive anyone. The effort you put into it will be worth it  It's not the reward that's the problem, nor the amount of steps... It's the fact the reward is "not in hand" (or: not in the hand of a person i more or less trust). It doesn't matter how you put it, i won't invest hours of work writing a guide that can be followed by someone without any experience without knowing the bounty is either in my wallet, or in the wallet from somebody i trust (aka, an escrow provider). Don't take this personal, i've just been burnt so many times already i no longer find a promise sufficient "collateral" These are the steps i would include in a guide, complete with screenshots and copy/pastable text: 1) prepare your OS, install the dependancies 2) make sure btcrecover runs (run tests) 3) make sure we have your (encrypted) wallet, potentially using a tool to create it starting from your ID 4) create the token file 5) run btcrecover |

We need an intermediary in this. All in my wallet is 2 BTC. I will give all the information to you or you guide me decode on my laptop. When I succeed and get 2 BTC, I will pay you 500 usd immediately.
Thank you !
Hi, Sorry, i can't dedicate several hours of work for the promise of getting $500 if you succeed. The risk is to much (you can either succeed but tell me you didn't, you can just run without paying me, you can give me insufficient information so you don't succeed, you can be impatient so you don't succeed,...). Don't take this the wrong way: there's a big chance you're an honest guy that indeed did lock his 2 BTC and has every intention of giving all the info, dedicate enough resources and time and pay me as soon as you succeed, however, i'm not willing to risk hours of my time on a promise... Sorry! If i can crack the file on my own machine and take $500 if i succeed, then send the remaining funds to an address of your choice, the risk becomes (much) smaller, but i don't know if i'm trusted enough to send a wallet file to... My advise in this case would be to search a really, really, really trusted person to give you encrypted wallet + password info to. good luck |

I will pay you $ 500- $ 1000 if I succeed. This is a commitment. I still remember the suggestion of the secondary password (blockchian.info)
Hi, I would like to give a couple remarks on this topic... Basically because if we handle this in PM/email, i might get accused of making a big profit at your expense, or i might end up with a scam accusation on my behalf because everything was not clear for both parties to begin with... By making everything public, i can (hopefully) avoid this: - to use btcrecover for a blockchain.info wallet, you either need the backup of your wallet file (wallet.aes.json) OR your wallet ID (and 2FA if enabled). If you don't have this backup and/or your wallet ID (+2FA), it seems to be impossible to use this tool
- I can't let the payment depend on wether or not you succeed. If you give me all the input (exact OS version; wether or not you have the wallet.aes.json; everything you know about your password), i will write you a custom guide with screenshots, easy enough for an inexperienced member to follow and execute. Wether or not you succeed in cracking your password depends on how powerfull your pc is, how long you keep the cracker running and how much info you gave me about your password... I can influence none of these factors, so i'd only take this job if i get payed for writing the guide, not for a successfull attempt.
- Don't take this the wrong way, but i've been promised payment by new members numerous times... I've also got burned numerous times (can't count the number of new members that offered a bounty, but dissapeared after i helped them out). I can't get behind my pc for many hours writing a complete custom guide with screenshots because somebody made a written commitment using an anonymous account on a public forum. If you want this deal, i can only agree if we use an escrow:
- We pick a green trusted, long time member we both like, and you send him/her the complete payment
- You tell us both all the info, but you don't send us the wallet backup nor the ID
- I write the full guide and send it to both you and the escrow
- If the escrow agrees that the guide is complete and newbie-friendly, he releases your funds to me... If he doesn't agree that the guide is newbie-friendly: he sends the payment back to you
- Now it's up to you: if you dedicate enough hardware for a long enough time, and gave sufficient info about the password, you'll be able to recover your wallet... If you fail to dedicate sufficient hardware, if you are impatient, or if you didn't give enough info about the password: you fail... This does not influence my payment
- If i forgot or missed things in my guide, you're always free to contact me, no extra charge if it's about things that i really forgot... I can't be helt responsible (or be forced to help you for free) if your PC is infected, isn't installed properly, has funky configurations, has conflicting pre-installed software
- I can also write this guide using a plain vanilla VPS server: in this case you'll need to provide a VPS of your choice with the OS of my choice... I'll write the complete guide and set everything up at the same time, so you'll be able to jump right in, change the root password, upload your wallet and start cracking right away (while you still have to guide to set everything up the next time). To be honest: this would be the cheaper option since i'm a unix guy
 . BTW: if we use this option, there is no risk that you won't be able to get everything running, no risk that your pc is infected, no risk of improper installation/configuration and no risk of conflicting binaries

I've ran btcrecover in the past on a linux box, found that it was not that hard to setup.. However, you should realise that the recovery rate depends greatly on the token file you generate. The more you know about your password, the greater the chance of success.
If you want a step-by-step tutorial written for a non-technical user, i can probably do this (altough there is no guarantee i'll get a recent version of btcrecover running on a windows 10 machine).
However, i've been helping tons of newbies with small tasks lately, and the percentage of people that actually payed me the offered bounty is relatively low... For a bigger tasks like this, i would require the use of an escrow for the bounty ($1000 is a bit over the top, i'll probably make you a deal for a lot less)...
I'm leaving the office in about 10 minutes, but if nobody else can help you with this task, you can PM me and we'll set something up tomorrow morning!

I tried to spend my blockchain.info coins, sat a high fee but the transactions were not confirmed.
Then, I tried to move my private keys to electrum, but for some reason electrum wallet says: "No input found!". How can I move my blockchain.info funds?
Two questions: 1) did you export the private keys, or did you export an xprv? I have not used blockchain.info in ages, so i have no idear how you'd export your private keys 2) have you tried switching electrum hosts and tried a restart? the reasons i ask these questions: 1) if you exported an xprv, the derivation path has to be correct... Otherwise you won't be able to derive the correct private keys, so the addresses created by the public keys created by the private keys derived with the wrong path would have no inputs 2) maybe you're connected to a lagging server (to switch: click on the green button on the right bottom corner and pick a different server) |

Hey guys, what's the difference between Pool and Cloud mining ? I hear many ppl saying like "Cloud mining is not worth it" etc, but they still are using pools which is exactly the same as cloud ( many people mines together and shares based on their performance ).
There's a huge difference between the two: - pool mining => lots of seperate individuals who try to solve blocks together using their own hardware. Low-diff shares are used to measure how much work each individual performed. This statistic is used to divide the block reward when the pool solves a block - cloud mining => you pay a (usually anonymous) organisation a ton of BTC, in return they promise to use ASIC's they own for mining BTC, and promise to give you part of the mining income they receive when running their own miners... Mining on a legit pool is a smart thing to do, unless you have thousands and thousands of latest gen ASIC's... Cloud mining is usually not worth it (in my opinion), and since cloud mining requires you to pay for hashrate in advance, at least 99% of the cloud mining companies are actually non-mining ponzi's. Even legit cloud mining companies give you 100% of the risks for a small percentage of the profits... |

Here is what bitmixer says in it's faq Is there a minimum transaction size?
Please do not send transactions less than 0.01 BTC. Smaller amounts will be considered as donations.
Since they are not accepting payments less than 0.01 BTC they should find out a way to block all such transactions instead of accepting in the first place. Or at least since it is automatically accepted because of the bitcoin system, they should be in one's account but not processed till it totals 0.01 Blocking a transaction is not possible... A transaction is basically just a bunch of signed scripts that specify which unspent outputs have to be used as an input for the new transaction, and the public key for which address can be used to verify the signature when spending the outputs of the new transaction. There is no way the owner of the deposit address can ever block this. As for your second proposal: in this case, everybody should have a unique account with his own deposit address, it would defeat part of the purpose of a mixing service IMHO. |

Hello,
I have a Xapo transaction with 100 confirmations but it's still pending in my wallet.
Please, I need help to solve this.
Since Xapo is an online wallet, only xapo support can help you out (unless i'm missing something here). If you want to avoid these kind of problems, i'd advise you to switch to a decent desktop or hardware wallet in the future! |

Goede middag,
Een paar jaar geleden had ik iets met bitcoin gekocht. Op een gegeven moment (weekje terug), dacht ik dat ik nog een beetje bitcoin had. Dit bleek ook zo te zijn. Alleen kan ik er niet bijkomen. De transactiestatus is namelijk onbekend (zowel ontvangen als verzonden).
Ik heb geprobeerd om via verschillende fora tot een oplossing te komen, maar helaas.
Gegevens,
-Ontvangen:
7432a2d346c05c389645568c47a391011799e55aa1b6b446b4d1daa1cf2d40d4
-Verzonden:
47ec781605a1e2355cd2b81ec9fbd5f0494f35d74fa5ee1483c8439e3c308783
Hoe kan ik ervoor zorgen dat ik toegang tot mijn bitcoins krijg?
Mvg,
S
Als ik deze twee transacties bekijk zie ik het volgende: Er is één transactie met een output die kan gespendeerd worden door address 1EdHcbjfox5Y2v4VKJaWMv3cVzza58YyEq. De id van deze transactie is 7432a2d346c05c389645568c47a391011799e55aa1b6b446b4d1daa1cf2d40d4 In transactie 47ec781605a1e2355cd2b81ec9fbd5f0494f35d74fa5ee1483c8439e3c308783 word deze output gespendeerd. Ofwel is 1GVMmk9o2KkiGsBVZJJX5Y4qwY3DNGbFAm je change address, ofwel heb je geen unspent outputs meer. Als 1GVMmk9o2KkiGsBVZJJX5Y4qwY3DNGbFAm je change address is, zou het wel makkelijk zijn als we zouden weten welke wallet je precies gebruikt hebt.... BTW: het is misschien handiger om dit draadje in het correcte subforum te plaatsen, je vraag gaat namelijk over bitcoin, en niet over altcoins |

I am thinking to start mining Bitcoins, I have realised that earning BTC require alot of work and time which I don't have. Some I am thinking to start mining but I don't whether to go for cloud mining or hardware mining. Which one would you consider as being best, fast and easy to use?
Depending on your electricity rate, it's possible neither would be suitable for you. Cloud mining: 99% of those cloud mining sites are fake, the other 1% lets you carry all the risks in order for a (small) share of the profit... Hardware (ASIC) mining: depening on your electricity rate, budget, hardware you already own,... you might make a profit. For me personal, i would never fire up my miners again unless i would pay less than 7 cent/Kwu (well, since my hardware is outdated, i wouldn't even fire them up for 7 cents/Kwu anymore... I was talking about the fictive situation where i had access to latest gen ASIC's)... There is money to be made with higher electricity rates, but the risks would outweight the posible rewards (at least, from my point of view). |

nice thread ts
eto sakin
3CXYNr1QCFgCuB8XquJZHJRKTWskWUsRhm
It's quoted, altough you should try to sign a message using this address, since it's P2SH instead of P2PKH... i dont understand this thread? why the bitcoin wallet?
Pretty simple: if your account ever gets hacked, the hacker can remove any of your posts where you mentioned an address... By posting your address in this thread, other members will quote you, and an eventual hacker cannot remove the quoted posts... This way, you'll always be able to prove you were the original account owner in case of a hacking incident. |

hi today when i see blockchain.info they have change the option there is no more option to add multiple wallet address ..do you know now how to send fund to multiple wallet in once
They have closed this function on 6 june. It's pretty shocking that you came to know about this today. You can use electrum wallet for sending payments to multiple addresses as of now. It is very lightweight wallet and I am using it for making campaign payments as well. i don't know how can this be possible ..how can i send payment to multiple address using electrum wallet i can see the option ..is there any guide for this It's pretty simple: - create an electrum wallet - open your electrum wallet - go to "Tools" -> "Pay to many" - follow the wizard's instructions (one line per receiver, format : "receivingaddress,amount", without quotes offcourse" |

That would be the best news ever for bitcoin community and bitcoin currency as well. I think we'll definitely see a surge in the value if that happens. This may also quicken up the transactions, hence great but a big IF, if that happens. There is no IF here... When looking at my own node's stats, the number of unconfirmed transactions have dropped below 10k for the first time in weeks... What might have happened? Just guessing here, but maybe the person spamming transactions has decided to stop, maybe the costs of his spam campaign no longer outweighted the benefits (whatever they might have been)? |

I'm currently using this code
<?php
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$handle = fopen("blockedips.txt","a");
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://v2.api.iphub.info/ip/'.$ip);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('X-Key: YOUR-UNIQUE-API-KEY'));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$obj = json_decode($result, true);
if($obj['block'] == '1'){
fwrite($handle, "". $ip . "\n");
fclose($handle);
header( "Location: blocked.html" ); die;
}
?>
But i don't know how to whitelist IP's if some legit users get banned  At this moment, you open a filehandle, you check iphub.info and if an ip is blocked by iphub.info, you write this ip to your blockedips.txt file. The only purpose for this action would be to check who couldn't visit your site due to iphub.info's service. You can just implement my little if-clause around this block: $whitelist = array('17.17.0.37, '128.17.5.33');
if (!in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $whitelist)) {
//your script
}
you can get the array of whitelisted ip's from a filehandle, hardcoded (like in the example) or from your database... It doesn't really matter. If you put this if-clause around your code, anybody with a whitelisted ip will just bypass your test, even if they are blocked by iphub.info. |
