I've had a lot of trouble the past few years getting Armory to work correctly. I'm not sure if what I encounter are Windows-specific bugs, but I normally give up after a while. It sounds like what you're experiencing.
I've found (on Windows 10) that if you are running the Bitcoin Core GUI, you need to have incoming connections enabled for Armory to work properly (otherwise, it will load up to the current number of blocks that Bitcoin Core has synced, but won't get new blocks until you restart Armory). If you don't have the GUI running and just let Armory launch "bitcoind" in the background, then it seems to work fine. That could very well be the source of my problems, I'll see later if that works. Appreciate the help. |

One other thing to be sure of, if the coin you have isn't a Casascius coin, you won't be able to find it through that page. You'd need to find some sort of identifying information on the physical coin.

Hey Bill, Just type in your information and hit enter. No need to click any buttons. If that's not working for you, use your browser's "find" feature (Ctrl+F on Windows) and start typing in text to search for. Your browser will highlight matches and you can type in as much of the address as you have. Once you find your coin page, click on the address (see below for an example) to be taken to a page where you can view the current balance on the coin, and any transactions associated with it if it has been emptied.  Happy hunting! |

It upsets me to see some of my friends getting taken in so easily by always trying to invest in "the next big thing", what seems to me like throwing away their money without doing their due diligence. Oh well, a fool and their money are soon parted.

@RGBKey Excuse me but where did you see the desktop application would be ready this month? By the way, people should be careful while using it the first weeks, who knows if it will have some bugs here and there. I personally will let others test it, once I am sure the app is free from bugs I will start to use it  Thanks for sharing, I am just about to buy myself some of those Ledgers, because I've heard that this is the most secure way to store your cryptocurrency, now I would be extremely careful and aware.
If you had read the comments you wouldn't have this kind of post. See the post #23 above Poster above me already linked the release date announcement, but you shouldn't have to worry about bugs as long as you're actually checking the information displayed on the device, like you should every time you're using it. If you sign a transaction with the wrong address/amount/fee, that's on you. A bug outside of that would be a much bigger deal and would likely ruin the ledger line of products. |

... However, I believe the wallet producer and John McAfee have their name to protect.
John McAfee has no name to protect anymore. He's dragged his own name through the mud so many times now that it's worth nothing. He offers paid promotion on his twitter account, among other things. He's no longer a name people trust. |

Do you know if this malware can attack other operating systems like Mac OS and Linux?
Dont know at the moment but im looking for to get maybe more Information about all this ! Most malware creators usually target Windows as it's more vulnerable, more hosts run it, and people that run it aren't as security conscious. It's usually not worth their time to target other OSes. |

I don't think it would be good. I think a lot of people would freak out, because Satoshi holds a lot of coins and if those coins started moving again, even the idea that they could would cause a lot of panic.

It's easy to setup, but quite hard to actually send payments! Unless I'm being dense. How does one - in theory - select a 'good node' as opposed to a bad one? When I say 'good' I mean one that can handle your proposed transaction size, expiry, htlcs vales, etc? Finding it a complete lottery, with some nodes (lots of connections, local, high values) automatically closing my channels, while smaller acinq nodes often fail due to expiry/htlcs errors... I believe it has an "autoconnect" feature to connect you to an acinq node. Also, you can go on a lightning explorer and select a node with good channel connectivity, because those nodes are likely to be reliable and have the capacity you need. |

What would happen if all work stopped on bitcoin core? I can see why some altcoin projects need lots of development but bitcoin users don't see any difference from how it was years ago.
The Bitcoin network and ecosystem are constantly evolving with new technology advances and threats. Halting development on the most used full node software could possibly open it up to security vulnerabilities, and would stop future improvements from being made. |

The first article you link to contains a niche security vulnerability which has already been patched. The second article you link to requires someone having access to files on your machine, and if they can do that then you're already in a world of hurt. Additionally, a new Ledger desktop app is scheduled to be released this month, so that second article will no longer be relevant.

The way I see it, when you start enabling people to "turn off" privacy features like not reusing addresses, you also weaken the privacy of the people who still value their privacy and do not reuse addresses. Because when you start reusing addresses frequently, the amount of unique addresses shrinks and it's easier to tie together transactions.
I could be wrong, but that's my understanding of it.

All full nodes, including non-mining nodes are helpful because the more nodes there are, the easier it is for new users to sync-up to the network. The more nodes available to send transactions to syncing nodes, the faster sync times will be until they hit a bottleneck of CPU or disk writing speed.

Are you sending the amounts in Satoshis, instead of in floating points? I'm unfamiliar with the interface that you're using but that would be the first thing I check.

I would not be filled with confidence laying out for one of these. They claim they'll continue to support it at the same time as saying there will be no more, yet anyone can see they've only just gotten around to updating it for a second time when the Nano has had a stream of work done on it in comparison.
If it was 22 Euros it might be worth a punt.
yeah, I totally agree with you. I was going to buy one of those Ledger Blue, but now I don't. They had plenty of time to get ready for the sale, and they've just updated their old blog post for the delay. Can't trust their words about future updates either. I trust them as a company, but they just don't pay attention to their Blue line nearly as much because so many more people have the Nano S. |

You should probably use a multisignature wallet. That way nobody can spend money without the group's approval.

Please dont come with comments if you think it is stupid, i have a lot of good reasons why i think this is a much better solution! This forum is Development & Technical Discussion. Note how it's not "Tell me my Idea is Good". I don't agree with your argument against bots, a "game" is no fun if it's just programs competing against each other. That's not a game. |

Seems to be an issue with most ETH operations currently. Betting, exchanging, tipping, etc.
