I PM'ed to the OP yesterday, and promised a new DISPOSABLE email where he can send any proof mocacinno@trashmail.comThis email address will only accept 10!!! incoming mails. Afterwards it will be deleted. It will also only exist for 24 hours... My offer to the OP is following: - if i receive an email from the OP containing clean, unzipped movie files, or links to trustable sites containing such movies i will watch the proof - if i do not trust the files or the link, i will not watch the movie proof - if i receive 10 spam mails, the email address will be closed, and no other mail will be received - if it takes the OP +24h to mail the proof, the email address will already be gone - i vouch not to distribute any legit video he sends me - i have no horse in this race... I'm not aiming to destroy yobit's reputation, nor the OP's. I would personally never pay a single satoshi for a video of somebody else getting scammed, but that doesn't mean the OP can't try to ask for money for this video, i've seen loads of people selling stranger things. The only thing i'm aiming to do is to provide a vouch wether or not the video is what the OP says it is. - once i receive the video file, i'll try to give feedback during the weekend. The feedback will consist of 2 parts: part 1 will be wether the video looks real or edited, and if the quality is ok. Part 2 of my feedback will be very brief and will not go into details, i'll just try to explain how certain i am that this is indeed a video of the op getting scammed. I'll just say if it's conclusive, circumstantial proof, or just smoke and mirrors... |

surprise surprise the email is invalid
Like i said in my first post: it was a temporarry email that only existed for a couple of hours. Since i didnt receive a mail after ~24 hours, it was removed yesterday/today (depending on your timezone), so it wouldn't attrackt spam. I can create and post a new temp mail when im in the office tomorrow if you still want my vouch. |

A bit off topic, but why does not changing your password make you more trusted? I'm assuming only because you can more likely guarantee that the account isn't controlled by someone else?
Good security practice does recommend changing your password every so often, so I'm not sure a changed password should lower someone's trust level as long as their posting style/etc haven't changed.
I have the same idear about security, but i've seen so many hacked accounts lately, i only tend to trust the ones that haven't changed their password recently. If the email or password was changed, you should at least ask the user to sign a message with an old, staked address (just to be sure, you could also ask for a signed message, even if the password wasn't changed recently) |

We all know Bill Gates the owner of microsoft is the most richest man in the world. Total wealth of $80 Billion US dollars. While satoshi nakamoto the owner and founder of bitcoin only have $1 million US dollars, Why he cant just generate indefinite amount of bitcoins for him and exchange it to real cash, right? Any thoughts?
Where did you get your statistics? businessinsider estimated the BTC helt by satoshi to be over $700 million back when the BTC price was $700 (now we're around $900) http://uk.businessinsider.com/satoshi-nakamoto-owns-one-million-bitcoin-700-price-2016-6About your question why he didn't generate x coins for himself: he could have done a hefty premine, but since btc is open source, everybody would have been able to see the premine right there in his sourcecode... |

hello, first of all i am fairly new to bitcoin. I do understand the debate between btc and bu, if when why(not) there will be a (hard) fork etc etc. My question tho: I got a few mBTC through, gained through some gaming stored in my bitcoinbuilder.com wallet. Before I am able to sell/buy/transfer any of it I need to be verified - which as I understand is the law (and probably makes sense). Now when i try to find any information about bitcoinbuilder.com and if it is legit i only see it associated to news about MTGox and that Josh was/is buying bitcoins held at mtgox. Most posts are 1-3 years old. I cant find any never infos about bitcoinbuilder.com not here nor anywhere else. I found this posts here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=67835.0 but not much more. Is anyone using it/ got verified and trust them to not misuse your (personal) data? I appreciate any answer and help even in case that this question is to "newbie-ish" for some of you. anyway thx p.s. hope that the right forum to post this question Here you go, the search function on this forum dug up tons of (usefull) threads: https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=016660200577587308545%3Aesf40ml9aag&ie=UTF-8&q=bitcoinbuilder&sa=Google+search#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=bitcoinbuilder&gsc.page=1 |

Possible, yeah, but not ideal. I am not a master on the topic, but I think mining requires a powerful computer which works 24/7. The cost of the equipment + electricity cost is greater than the one you'd be mining using a regular desktop.
(I once asked if I could mine using a laptop - no. Not ideal. Mining will burn the laptop + it will cost electricity)
Please read my post right above your post...
~snip~
At current diff, it would, on average, take you 1049310635 days to mine a block with an i7 CPU mining at 100% 24/7, that's about 3 million years. Since the diff is rising, the time to mine a single block will even be a lot longer in reality.
~snip~
So, altough it's THEORETICALLY possible to mine bitcoins with a CPU, please don't make these statements because they'll confuse new members.
Now please, stop stating that it's possible to mine using a CPU... Statements like this will cause new members to try it, burning their pc's/laptops for literally 0 profit. |

Is it still possible to mine for bitcoins using a normal desktop computer nowadays?
You can use your normal computer mine bitcoins, I did use GUIminer to mine in my computer, it is working and it is great. But the problem about this is it's profit, don't expect to have a lot of profit from these type of mining because it is not really profitable. theoretically, you could mine bitcoin blocks using pen and paper... But personally, at current day and age, i would never say that you can use a cpu to mine bitcoins to a newbie. Saying that you succesfully mined bitcoins using GUIminer might lead new users to the conclusion that this is something they could do. If you re-read my first post in this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1783157.msg17790187#msg17790187 you can see that if you a server with XEON dual core CPU's AND 6 GPU's, you'll make $11/year BEFORE having to pay your power company and BEFORE having to pay for hardware/repairs. I did the calculations for an i7 (wich is currently found in high-end desktop pc's): http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/bitcoin-mining-calculator/?h=0.02&p=130&pc=0.00&pf=1.00&d=422170566883.83700000&r=12.50000000&er=1042.04050000&hc=0.00The earnings per year are so small coinwarz doesn't even register them, so less than 0.5 cent/year (that's < $0.005/year), but you'd be burning +130Watt 24/7 to make less than this half a dollarcent a year... So imagine your face when you receive the powerbill for mining this 0.5 cent/year... At current diff, it would, on average, take you 1049310635 days to mine a block with an i7 CPU mining at 100% 24/7, that's about 3 million years. Since the diff is rising, the time to mine a single block will even be a lot longer in reality.Mining with your CPU in 99.99999999999999999% of the cases will result in negative profit, even with free power! The chance of hitting a block with a cpu is smaller than the chance of winning the lottery, but the earnings from a lottery win are much higher, and the ticket price is lower. So, altough it's THEORETICALLY possible to mine bitcoins with a CPU, please don't make these statements because they'll confuse new members. |

Hey all,
I am in the unfortunate situation that I managed to lose both my electrum password and seed. I have ~ 6btc in the wallet.
There are several possible password combinations I could have used, but can't retrieve. Is there anyone willing/able to help for a fair fee?
Brute forcing the seed is impossible (well, nothing is impossible, but you'll burn more money in electricity than you would burn by mining the 6 BTC to begin with), but if you have the wallet file (make backups!!!) and a reasonable idear of what the password might be, there are brute force tools to brute force a wallet... The more info you can give about your password, the less time they take. I'll look trough my bookmarks if i can find a link, and i'll update my post if i do. EDIT: here you go https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/I've heared my positive things about this brute forcer, but your chances of success are exponentially related to how good your token file is, and how strong your password is/was (in other words: if you randomly brute force a 20 letter password, you have allmost no chance of success; if you know exacly which possible strings could have been used, and which ones might have been mistyped/capitalised, you have a reasonable chance of solving this) EDIT2: a lot of people on this forum (me included) could potentially run this brute-force application for you, but you'd have to give them access to your wallet AND give them a lot of info about all possible passwords you use/used... If they succeed in brute forcing your pass, there's nothing stopping them from stealing all your funds, and since they now have access to your private key, you can never use this wallet ever again... Therefore, it might be wise to try this brute force application yourself to begin with, and only if you don't succeed find an EXTREMELY trusted person to help you out (i'm talking about multiple green trusts, actual trades, no password changes, no email changes,...) |

It does indeed look like the change sent back to your change address can be considered dust by some nodes (800 satoshi's), so this might indeed be the reason for the rejection... I find it strange that electrum created such a transaction having dust output... |

Heb je inmiddels een coin bedacht/ontwikkeld..Ben benieuwd naar je voortgang
hey bedankt voor je interesse maar ik ben nu bezig om me zelf te leren hoe je met linux kunt werken ( icm crypto), compilen en clonen enzo. ik wil ook nog een ook een multi faucet maken, dus als je nog een leuke script hebt ( of iemand anders ) hoor ik dit graag. dit is allemaal is op hobby basis, dus ik kan niet veel geven voor een script , maar het is altijd wel te onderhandelen. ik ga niet haasten . dus....... Ik ben persoonlijk geen voorstander van al die nieuwe altcoins, omdat de meeste volgens mij enkel bedoeld zijn om de dev's snel een hoop geld op te leveren. Je kan een altcoin clonen in een paar uurtjes, zonder dat je kennis moet hebben van enige programmeertaal... Ik ben op dit moment zelfs bezig met een kleine demo-coin te maken om aan te tonen hoe makkelijk een munt gecloned word, om zo als voorbeeld te gebruiken wanneer mensen vragen of ze in de zoveelste ICO of ROM moeten investeren... Er zijn een paar redenen waarom je een munt kan clonen: 1) omdat je wilt leren over het protocol 2) omdat je een totaal vernieuwend idee hebt dat een grote meerwaarde heeft tov BTC of de bestaande altcoins én dat je de kennis en tijd hebt om dit idee uit te werken |

Hi,
I have created a new Electrum wallet by importing private keys from another client.
A few of the addresses are highlighted with a bright red colour in the background.
Is there anything I should know before using these addresses?
which version of Electrum are you using? could you please post a screenshot of your addresses tab? (blur the addresses if you want) I can verify OP's problem, i recreated it by : - running vanitygen => vanitygen.exe -o mo.txt -k 1mo
- Cleaning up mo.txt so it only included the private keys (about ~900 keys were created)
- opening electrum 2.8.0, file => new/restore => delme => standard wallet => use public or private keys => paste 102 keys from my cleaned text file (i set my gap limit at 20)
- output of the addresses-tab in screenshot
 I'm going out on a limb here, but it is my assumption that electrum does not diversifys between HD wallets created from seed and non-HD wallets created by importing private keys when it comes to marking addresses that are beyond the gap limit. It might be a little bit annoying, but i don't think there's any harm. BTW: ThomasV: if you're unable to replicate the situation, i would certainly be willing to zip up the wallet i created and send it to you in PM or over email... It's just some random generated vanity addresses with 0 inputs, so i wouldn't mind sharing those with you... |

dus het is
BTC <-> BTU
is het nu zaak om iets te gaan doen?
inde vorm van bitcoins omzetten in euro?
of verplaatsen naar blockchain.info
of juist naar hard copy adres?
of naar multibit?
ik denk blockchain.info
Nee, jijzelf, noch ik, noch iemand anders die in deze thread heeft gereageerd kan iets doen. Het zijn de miners, de dev's en de personen die een aanzienlijke hoeveelheid BTC in bezit hebben die iets kunnen doen (de miners kunnen aangeven welke optie zij kiezen in de blocks die zij minen, of na een fork kunnen ze kiezen voor welke chain zij minen; de dev's kunnen proberen om een consensus te vinden... hoewel dit mijns inziens niet gaat lukken; de "rijken" kunnen kiezen of zij hun BTC dumpen, of net niet). De laatste 3 vragen zijn eigenlijk identiek: het zou niet mogen uitmaken welke wallet je gebruikt. Alle transacties voor de (eventuele) fork zouden in beide chains moeten zitten, alle transacties na de (eventuele) fork enkel in 1 v/d chains. Ik kan je enkel zeggen wat ik ga doen: afwachten... |

Your totally right its not about the amount forget the BTC whats ur Email address I will emial you some of them?
I have no stakes in this discussion... I don't have an active yobit account, i don't want to hurt any businessses or people's reputation if i don't have to. If you want to, i can vouch wether or not you actually have videos or not, and if they look legit to me. mocacinno@yopmail.com^^ this email will only exist for a couple of hours, afterwards it will be removed. If i receive a mail with the videos, online, i'll create a vouch for you. If i receive zip's, or links to shady sites, i will not open them, nor visit shady links. It's up to you wether you want my vouch or not... |

How i can wait?...
i have 45k$ in my wallet....how someone can stole my funds...
Sorry to hear that, but the thing is: only blockchain.info can help you out. They're a private company providing free online wallets, so if they mess up, the only ones that can help you is them... so you can either wait untill they fix their problems, or you can contact their support. If you have $45k in BTC, i'd strongly suggest purchasing a hardware wallet like a trezor or a ledger nano S to store your funds instead of a free online wallet. This advice doesn't help you right now, but i hope it'll help you once blockchain.info resolves their problem. BTW: there is a very reasonable chance it's just a backend problem at blockchain.info, so there is a really big chance you're not being robbed and your funds will re-appear in a couple of hours/days... But since i'm not a blockchain.info employee, there is no way i can say this for sure... I can just give you some input based on previous posts from people having problems with blockchain.info's wallets. |

i cant see anything bro....i cant get private key also.....
how to recover my funds now?
Since other people seem to experience the same problems, there are only 2 things you can possibly do: - wait - contact blockchain.info's support I know it's to late now, but in the future, don't store any funds on exchanges or online wallets... |

I generated a address on the page: https://bitcore.io/playground/#/address(on "LIVENET"). So I got one private key, one public key and one address. Then I used my armory client to import the private key above to my wallet. But I got an address which is different with the address I got from bitcore.io. I was confused. What's wrong? It seems to generate a private key in hexadecimal format, i have no idear if armory accepts this format or not, but it should be valid. you could potentially use the downloaded sourcecode of https://www.bitaddress.org, generate entropy, go to the "wallet details"-tab, enter the private key in hexadecimal format and convert it to WIF or WIF compressed and try to import those ones. The same page should show you the compressed address, which should match the address bitcore.io showed you. Once again: it has been ages since i last used armory, i have no idear what formats are accepted, for all i know, the keys should be in hexadecimal format.... |

Please don't bombard me with insults or think that I'm stupid, I just have an idea and simply want to know if it could be used in any way not just for bitcoin but for any thing what so ever.
Could we take snap shots/screen shots of the data in the block chain in a way that you could practically zoom in a couple of hundreds percent and see the data in such a way that you could take a screen shot of data with 200MB size but put it in a 40MB 4K resolution image/picture and hash the images in a block chain to make it so no one ever change or manipulate the pixels?
This is just pure concept without any technical details, I know that I have average IQ but I'm not in any way educated regarding computer languages/science.
So, let me get this straight: you want to read the blocks, convert to ascii, display the characters, take a HD screenshots of these characters and create a hash of this screenshot... Or am i missing something? My main question would be: why? |
