what is MULTIBIT HD(Hard drive you mean) so If i lose my PC or my HDD dies, no chances, is that what u are saying  HD as in hierarchical deterministic. Its what the latest version is called. Which version are you using exactly? |

Is that just as simple as clicking Import Private keys from the MENU of MULTIBIT? Using latest version on Linux Ubuntu 12.10.
You can not import private keys into multibit HD. |

Thanks for the advice, but this is a bit of a research project for me, so I will download the entire chain. I understand that I can copy it onto a USB stick or SD card, and then I can move it around between computers. I might see if I can use it on a chromebook or a mobile phone for example. The download is actually a background task despite all my chat about it, so it isn't taking up too much of my time. Of course there are no b/width or electricity costs associated with it either. I've already learnt a lot about Bitcoin, mainly as a result of replies on this board, and I've also discovered that another project idea of mine is not viable. This was using solar power for Bitcoin mining.
How big if your file currently? Depending on size might put in services looking to buy it. I have a feeling someone would sell a usb drive or other option for not terrible. What is your speed at McDonalds? I normally don't get anything close to what I would want to sit there and download, but I'm spoiled on a gigabit internet connection. IIRC someone sold the bootstrap.dat for a while on CDs/DVD. Not sure if thats still a thing. |

Yes my account is left outside. The name of the other person is klitoris69
Rating is gone. Im not entirely convinced its the right thing, but I think its equaly likely that the former owner tried to reclaim the account as it is that the account was hacked. I am not clear how I could convince you 'more'. But it's much appreciated to give me the benefit of the doubt. I could have asked for access to your account to verify the PMs, but I dont need to be sure. Its enough that I have reason to doubt the OPs story. |

The only cron job I can think of is the indexing done for all files, not just the shared folders. Thing is it was the same thing happening on Windows, on a drive and folder that wasn't shared. That would only happen with the 64-bit one, it would quit after a while, usually with the same error as in the title, sometimes with other weird errors. 32-bit would work fine.
I can move the folder to somewhere that is not part of the SMB share just to test it though.
Thats certainly faster than a complete redownload from scratch with the 64 bit version. |

" No information available about transaction (code -5) "
Odd. I'm tempted to explore this a bit more to see if we can figure out what happened. btw Danny, i do appreciate your support and your quality. So regardless i will be donating 1btc to that charity you proposed.
Is there anything else to do? :/
Yes, but I'm trying to decide what's the best next course of action to have the best chance of success without wasting time. If you're willing to share the transaction ID with me for the transaction that you sent to localbitcoins, I'd dig into that a bit for you. You could share it here or via PM if you prefer. I have a GPG public key if you would prefer to send it encrypted. If the transaction was confirmed and it was sent from this wallet, then the wallet should have found it in the blockchain after the zapwallettxes. You could try shutting down the wallet and then re-starting it from the command line with the -rescan command line option. This will force the wallet to scan the entire blockchain again looking for confirmed transactions that it doesn't know about. I'd be really surprised if it finds it during a rescan after failing to find it during the zapwallettxes, but it won't hurt anything (aside from potentially wasting your time). As jaydipmodhwadia has mentioned, you could try a -reindex as well. This will rebuild all the indexes from the current blk000??.dat files on your hard drive. This is another step that won't hurt, but is likely to waste time since we don't have any indication yet that it would help. Do you think maybe the wallet.dat is partially corrupted? If so, e.g. only a few priv. keys can no longer be accessed, it should show in the debug.log and restoring from a backup not too old could do the trick. |

Thats odd, when I set it to 1000 Satoshi it matches the size in in fee (as satoshi). |

I dont think its related to 32/64-bit. Could this an SMB issue? Is there a cronjob that is going through the files every 12 hours for indexing or something along those lines?

Thanks
else I have my wallet on my PC if I go to another PC that tb has a portfolio can not access my?
To access your coins you need the wallet.dat file. If you only copy the other data you can use them on several computers without worry that someone can access your coins. |

So i remembered one website that i stumbled upon like a few months ago. It was something that compares the amount of bitcoins in your wallet to all other wallets that are out there and shows how much per cent of people have that much or more bitcoins, basically it shows your place in the bitcoin world. Any ideas how that page is called?
No sorry, but keep in mind that if anything it can only compare addresses not entire wallets. So the result is probably way off. |

Hmm, this is odd. Here's the three lines in debug.log from around when it happened:
2015-12-21 06:00:05 LevelDB read failure: IO error: /storage/Backups/bitcoin/data/chainstate/3047481.ldb: Permission denied
2015-12-21 06:00:05 IO error: /storage/Backups/bitcoin/data/chainstate/3047481.ldb: Permission denied
2015-12-21 14:06:29 Error reading from database: Database I/O error

Does the user that is running core have r/w access to the file(s)? |

I like to start off saying, I'm new to any of the technical side of bitcoins, but I am a computer science major and very good with computers.
I sent bitcoins from Circle, as soon as they got to my wallet they were sent out at the same time? This has never happened to me before. blockchain says something about a double spend. The wallet says that I have -.6006 unconfirmed is there any way to get them back?
Which Electrum version do you use? Can you share a transaction ID? If you dont want to can you answer the following question as best as possible please: #1 was the transaction from coinbase to electrum confirm at any time? #2 is there an outgoing transaction from your electrum wallet after you received the coins? #3 If yes, do you create it? #4 Does the balance actually show negative or do you mean 0.6006 btc? Is sharing the transaction ID dangerous? Not in terms of losing coins no. Some prefer to keep their transactions and addresses private though. They are publicly available on the blockchain, so private in the sense that they are not tied to an account here. The transaction was from Circle.com To Electrum and It was confirmed I had the bitcoins for half a second. Then it looks like my address sent them to me and somebody else as a double send.
I believe so looks like it sent it to some random address.
What I dont understand is whether the double spend was send "from" your address or "from" the circle address. One would mean your machine is most likely compromised, the other would mean circle.com might have an issue with withdrawals. No I did not create it and it happened within seconds of me getting the coins.
the balance in the bottom left corner says "Balance: .6014 BTC [-0.6006 unconfirmed]"
But actual balance on the wallet says it's gone.

somebody can explain me the fee calculation?  Probably did not update properly. Can you click on "choose" so we can see the entire Fee window? |

how do regular backups folder, can you explain
You just make a copy of all subfolders in the data directory[1] for bitcoin core. If you have a folder "testnetX" where X is any number, you can skip that. [1] https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory |

so even if you post 10,000 messages you still only get 14 points, and have to wait 2 weeks. that sucks.
Im pretty sure if you post 10,000 message in 14 days you get a nice ban on top of your 14 activity. 44 posts per hour on 16h work days for 14 days straight is no joke for your health either. |

running bitcoin core can make you caught in serious trouble in my opinion. As you have to sync the block all the time and we all know that everything touches the internet it will cost some for the service provider. When syncing you, you are downloading the whole blockchain (which is 50+ GB) so yes things will go bad quite easily if you are trying to do so. But if you are running bitcoin core for normal transaction not syncing then I think it's fine  bitcoin core doesn't take up much bandwidth. You cant use bitcoin core "for normal transaction not syncing". It will not broadcast a transaction until its fully synced. Also if someone offers free WiFi they can hardly blame those that use the free WiFi. Most contracts for shops do not charge per byte anyway, so Im not sure where your "everything touches the internet it will cost some" comes from. |
