4241  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What exactly is “bitcoins day destroyed”? on: December 09, 2015, 08:43:28 AM
I heard people use the term somewhere, I'm not really sure now, it was a bit far back in my memory.

It's along the lines of "bitcoins day destroyed"... Can anyone explain what exactly it is to me? Thanks a lot.

Its used with priority. An unspend output[1] gains priority based on its value in bitcoin and the number of confirmations. As a rule of thumb one day worth of confirmations (144) for a single input worth 1 bitcoin can be used without a fee or at least that was so in the past. This is called the bitcoin day. 1 Bitcoin with one day worth of confirmations. If you use it as an input, the "bitcoin day" is destroyed as the new unspend output needs to gain new priority. The term is mostly used for very old coins that are on the move as this means a high number of bitcoin days are destroyed. E.g. 10 BTC from 2010 (1825 days ago) would result in 18250 destroyed bitcoin days.


[1] a transaction you have received in the past and can use as input to spend coins

@shorena: from what I understood the new captcha is meant to replace the actual one when registering new account +/- in the first newbie post(s), so it will not have anything to do with the actual btctalkers Smiley
Since the bot didn't stop its random spam, i think implementing new captcha isn't harmful, if it will succeed to stop the bot then it is a good thing else we didn't lose anything. The actual captcha is useless anyway  Undecided
-snip-

For registering an account im perfectly ok with a captcha, but not with the first X posts. There are still new humans coming here, asking for help, trying to understand bitcoin.

Isn't it the miners who choose the minimum fee they require to accept a transaction?

Miners can set a minimum amount to considering something a fee. E.g. consider all fees lower than 10 BTC as a "free" transaction. Miners can also decide how much (or little) space they reserve per block for "free" (according to their own rules) transactions.

We currently have a different problem though. Miners mine empty and on possibly invalid blocks because it might give them a slight advantage over miners that fully validate every block they get and fill it with transactions. A block with just a little over 100 transactions[1] should not happen if we have over 10k transactions[2,3] paying a fee waiting.

@OP Maybe you can have a look at the debug.log file and show us the last ~100-200 lines? You can open it if you open "run" (Win + R), enter: %APPDATA%\Bitcoin\debug.log and confirm with ok. If Windows ask which programm to use, select notepad.

Yes, I've been having this error too its freaking me out because I am supposed to have 2BTC in my account.

which error?

be sure to make a copy of your wallet.dat

otherwise if you reinstall bitcoin core, theres is not much other solutions you would be able to retrieve it. ( system restore...

be sure to make a copy of your wallet.dat

oh and...

be sure to make a copy of your wallet.dat.

Reinstalling bitcoin core does nothing to the wallet.dat. There is no reason to restore the system if we dont even know what the error is.

4248  Local / Anfänger und Hilfe / Re: Eine Adresse aus dem BitCoin-Client in einen anderen Client überragen on: December 09, 2015, 12:30:34 AM
Hallo zusammen,

ich befasse mich erst seit kurzer Zeit mit BitCoins und habe nun ein kleines Problem.
Nach dem ich über ein Xapo-Konto relativ einfach eine Menge Satoshis gesammelt hatte, wollte ich das Ganze auch auf Seiten tun, die zwingend ein Bitcoin-Konto verlangen. Aus Unwissenheit habe ich darum den Bitcoin Core-Client installiert und mir darin ein Konto angelegt. Ich habe dann mit dem neuen BitCoin-Adresse gleich fleißig gesammelt, So weit so gut.
Am nächsten Tag konnte ich mich nicht mehr am System anmelden (Meldung: Passwort falsch). Da das einzig Neue auf dem PC der BitCoin-Client war habe ich das System über einen (zum Glück vor der Installation erstellten) Wiederherstellungspunkt zurückgesetzt und alles war wieder OK.
Nun habe ich das Problem wie komme ich an die gesammelten Satoshis ran. Diese lagern bisher alle in den jeweiligen Faucets, da ich noch nirgends eine Auszahlung veranlasst habe.
Kann ich mir die Satoshis in ein anderes Wallt laden?

Erlauben die Faucets eine Auszahlung an eine beliebige Adresse oder nur an eine die Du bereits angegeben hast? Wenn es genau die aus bitcoin core sein muss und du kein Backup der wallet.dat Datei hast, dann gibt es auch keine Möglichkeit noch an die Bitcoin zu kommen. Bitcoin core ist, wie die meisten Wallets, ein lokales Programm. Die privaten Schlüssel die du zum ausgeben der Bitcoin benötigst sind entsprechend nur lokal gespeichert.

Welcher (einfache) Client ist empfehlenswert.

Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe.

Grüße

@Captchas:

I personally dislike them for several reasons:

#1 They are pain with tor or any other browser without javascript or hard to solve. At least for me. If I want to visit a site with Tor and its blocking me because of Tor with a captcha I just gave up and stoped visiting these pages. Its a collosal waste of my time to try and solve them. Its mostly cloud flare AFAIK.

#2 They are a pain to solve for honest users, but not for those that already invest time and money to spam the forum with nonsense. Yes, it would make the spam more expensive, but I dont think it will stop it. It might however stop new users that do not understand and do not care why the captchs had been put in place. We would essentially reduce the newbie jail without the need to post, but instead to solve captchas. The 360 seconds rule already annoy people.

@More moderation:

I dont see a reason for more staff, at least not durring NA/EU times. Most of my reports are handled quickly, esp. those regarding newbies. I think its the same for those form NA.

SC2 is considered to have a high skill ceiling, but it's artificially inflated by forcing people to do micromanagement activities like injecting larvae, managing hatchlings, things like that (APM, or actions per minute). It just ends up being frantic and kind of a drag, and makes it more difficult to focus on the fun part, the strategy.

I hear this was greatly reduced with the latest expansion. Cant confirm though as I blow my battle.net money on HotS.

I don't play games all that much anymore, and usually just on weekends, but when I do I play with friends so we play competitive multiplayer type stuff like Rocket League, or Heroes of the Storm. Sometimes TF2.

We can white-list users but it's only really for shortening the time between posts/reports etc for newbs or whatever. Think it takes down your limit to 180 seconds or something so probably wont do anything for you.
"White-list" , that was the term. Thanks for the info, I'll ask BB to lower my report limit, lets see if something happens.
P.S: Noticed the change in the Bear's avatar?

Yeah, I miss the bear.

Anyway. I hit the 4 second limit with those bots as well. I am not sure what your limit is Your limit should be 7 or 8 seconds, not sure if it will make a difference if its lowered to 4. Maybe admins can put an even lower limit though.

4252  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Keeping the addresses generated from deterministic wallet PubKey seed secret. on: December 08, 2015, 11:52:22 AM
I should be clearer: I don't want anyone to be able to work out what the next address in the sequence will be, e.g. if I've generated 100 addresses in sequence and used them publicly will anyone be able to guess what address 101 would be without the pubkey seed?

isnt this given with hardened keys?

Assuming you also keep the xpub key secret as knightdk suggested.

I don't care if you say it's a lie, or if you think it's a personal attack, or what random people on the internet think of me.

And you're not going to be a helpful admin and answer questions?

I balance how helpful I'm going to be, with how helpful it's actually going to be. I don't see how carrying on a conversation with you is going to be helpful. Prove to me it isn't a waste of my time, and I might change my mind.    
So you're more concerned for yourself, and not the users here?

or another way of reading it: more concerned with all users and less with one specific user that very likely can not be helped anyway.

Let him speak for himself. For the record: If that is what he was trying to say, that is implying that you believe I am incapable of understanding basic explanations that genuinely do make sense, calling me retarded, which is an offensive term to use. Now that the word retarded has become a slur, it is just another word people can use to hurt a person, even though it really shouldn't be. That right there is a trolling comment.


Yes, my attempt to give you a different perspective on things is trolling. I will see myself out.

IMHO no, the majority of them could be just a single post.

That is my opinion as well. He does have a pay/post signature (I am not sure if he is paid for these posts).
I would like clarity on this in general, before I start flagging similar posts.

Not all bit-x are pay per post AFAIK, some have fixed deals. The issue is unrelated to the signature though. The thread is bumped constantly thus keeping it on the first page. So its a violation of rule 13.

Problem is with that huge guides (even if clearly shown), almost noone want to get through it... its faster to just ask quick question than reading many many pages of text :|

IMHO thats the difficult part about good guides. Keep them short and simple enough without leaving out whats needed. FAQs are probably better for most cases or have subsections you can jump to directly.
4258  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Would bitcoins cease to function if the internet were destroyed. on: December 07, 2015, 10:21:38 PM
It could stil work, the question is what exactly do you mean with internet and how it would be destoryed.


This.  You have to define "cease to function" and "destroyed".

For example, if the internet were destroyed, that would not necessarily mean bitcoin would cease to function.  Shorena and I could connect via Wifi and keep it going.  Ditto other people.  The blockchain would still exist, as more people joined our ad hoc network, it would spin back up.

Imagine the fork mess once all the local blockchains (e.g. city wide wifi based mesh networks for a few weeks) get reunited.
4259  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Downloading Bitcoin Blockchain on: December 07, 2015, 10:17:45 PM
The blockchain i externally downloaded was supposed to speed it up though but its made it slower?

I was intended as a speed up for versions prior to 0.10. All versions past 0.10 can download blocks out of order and thus from several sources at once, same as a torrent client cant. The advantage over torrent is that the data can be verified at the same time.
