Just checking here: are you aware that they are worth more than the bitcoin on them as long as they are unredeemed?
I have seen them go for 3 and more btc on auctions (having 1 btc on them).

I used Bitcoin-QT wallet and set the fee through there, setting it on "fast" which was the highest setting available. Never really used manual fee setting, but as I understand the network is on overflow at the moment. Most of the time the fastest setting is actually not the best. Open bitcoin core, let it run for a while and see for yourself. Currently I have fastest - fee: 0.00001 btc/kb (Smart fee not initialized yet. This usually takes a few blocks...)1 lower - fee: 0.00019988 btc/kb Estimated to begin confirmation within 2 blocks. lowest - fee: 0.00007789 btc/kb As you can see the 2nd fastest option is 20 times higher than the fastest. Even the lowest setting is higher than the fastest. It matches your TX perfectly (fee in satoshi = size in bytes). The TX itself is fine, its just that there are so many transactions that bitcoin core cant determine how high a fee should be for your transaction to be in the next block. Since it cant work out a value it falls back to the default fee. Sadly, this is currently too low. Im afraid you have to wait a bit. Keep bitcoin core open it will rebroadcast your transaction to make sure the network does not forget about it. You send spend a relativly high amount (~0.44 btc) chances are you will get a confirmation within the next 1-2 days. This is because higher value inputs get higher priority over time. |

thanks again, but as I am not a programmer  hard to follow throgh, but I'll look over it. would be nice if there is a util to do it. Think of it like this. The private keys are what protect your bitcoin. They only work properly if they are random. What you are suggesting is that you remove part of the randomness, so the private key looks good. A private key however is nothing to show someone else, so it would only look good to you and you reduce the security for it. If you want something good looking, that is not a security risk and can be shown around, get a vanity address[1]. [1] full disclosure Im biased on this, I sell them. To be honest, I don't want it to look good, I wanted to be easily remember. Why not use encryption for that with a password as BurtW suggests? Why do you need to remember the raw private key? take the private key I wanted to generate
5BitcoinDs9BsUqVh1Nivythf49VvEzGXpDYj37ZLtDxdDyXN7D
I want to store this in plain sight but instead I posted it as
5hutyAewDs9BsUqVh1Nivythf49VvEzGXpDYj37ZLtDxdDyXN7D
Since I only know to Change the 7 Letters back when I need to use my Private key, I can plainly put this on my computer or email me a copy without worrying about people getting hold of my Actual Key
It's similar to breaking down your private key into two parts, but this way, one part is easily remembered and recovered.
Yes, its like revealing half of your password and thus making it less secure, only that you are not revealing half of it, but 44/51 or ~86% (assuming 7 hidden and 51 total). |

We know one of two things, in the beginning;
- Bitcoin was created as a solution to poverty by allowing people to mine them and thus all have a relative equal share of global equity and have personal sovereignty
or
- Bitcoin was created with a sinister function by a group of corporate thieves designed to extract money from other countries of the world to pay off a nations debt

I think I missed the political part of the whitepaper. |

excellent, thank you.
CLAM distribut(s|ed) its coins that way. clam? The initial distribution of CLAMs is interesting. Basically, if you owned Bitcoins at a certain point in time then you own the corresponding CLAMs, all you have to do is claim them. Sorry, I did not want to derail the thread with this. They also did(?) this for litecoin and dogecoin. I say did with a questionmark because there recently was a big discussion whether the dev should fork CLAM to change this behaviour. I did not follow the coin for a while though, so ... |

I am also re downloading my btc wallet en takes now already about 5 days before every block is downloaded. At this moment i 'm still 5 weeks behind. Don't think this will be downloaded before midnight at the tempo of the last days.
Why does that go so slowly?
Dont hijack threads. Make your own, your issue has nothing to do with that of OP. 5 days per block sounds like bullshit to me, it would mean you are downloading since ~3000 b.c. To give you a short answer: If you sync "slow" its because one of the following reasons: #1 your disk is slow #2 your internet connection is slow #3 your CPU is slow #4 the connection to other nodes are bad, which most of the time is because of #2 |

I know mexxer-2's personal information, and I call this BULLSHIT! Also, this: The info about my alt will not be publicly released, but QS, james and Lutpin are aware of it.
So it means that mexxer-2, QS, james and Lutpin are account of same person?? You forgot me and hilariousandco. |

Hey peps, 3rd transaction in a row is taking ages. Have set it to a recommended fee, and on blockchain always say's it's High Priority. However 1 transaction took around 20 hours and the other 2 are still stuck one with 24 hours past other one with 9+ hours. Any ideas?  Thanks! Recommended by whom? Does it use unconfirmed inputs? Does it create dust outputs? Alternativly: would you share a transaction id? |

May I ask who you are quoting "encumbers an output with a requirement to supply a signature with a key that hashes to a given hash value"
In this circumstance, what is the given hash value's relation to the destination address? The signature you speak of is derived from the private key of the origin of the output, correct?
I have to entangle this a bit before I can try an answer. Bitcoins you receive can be used in transactions. This is what Danny refered to with the quote. Its not actually a quote though. A transaction spends previously received coins (inputs). In a sense the inputs are destoryed in the process and the transaction creates new coins (outputs). You can also view it as if the coins are modified if that helps. The outputs can in turn be used as inputs for other transactions, either by you or someone else. A destination address is the hash of the receivers public key (pay to pubkey hash) or the hash of a script the receiver created (pay to script hash). A signature is required to authenticate a payment with inputs previously received via the corresponding address (pubkey hash). A given transaction might require several signatures because it uses inputs received on several addresses. The signature is done with the private key and commonly by the person that created the address. The scripts can require one or more signatures and even be spendable by anyone. Lets focus on pay to pubkey hash for now. The pay-to-pub-key-hash makes reference to the pub key hash, but not the public key itself? I guess that is the point of the pkh?
Yes, the person paying to such an address does not know the public key. The person that received coins on such an address however has the public key and must provide it when the coins are used as an input. The public key is needed to verify the signature. What exactly the point behind this is might be something for someone more knowledge than me to explain, but it increases the security of bitcoin in the rare event that elliptic curves should be broken, but sha256 and/or ripemd 160 are not. This would mean that coins received on addresss where the public key is not known are still save even though elliptic curves in general are no longer. Is there any resource you can suggest to me that covers this kind of thing all the way through?
Thanks

If we are talking strictly about Andreas' Android core wallet, what it wants me to do is buy, sell, and trade in small amounts of bitcoin in the first place. so far so good.
If I fire up the app, I even can't see my 12-word seed without first loading some bitcoin into it.
My question is, is there a simple implementation of the same idea but one which let's me play with my 12-word seed and all that is behind the scenes, before I put actual money into it?
The Hive Wallet was such a fork of Andreas's code. I previously used Hive's web version and liked it. I don't know anything about how Hive for android worked, though.
Like the testnet version? |

CFNP > PNYC. It doesn't matter if a signature campaign hasn't paid out yet if it's closed for new participants. The thread should always be seen through the eyes of someone who is looking for a new campaign. Which pastebin should I use?
In this case the 2nd, it includes the updates done by lutpin. |

I use blockchain as my online wallet.
I've seen people leaving comments here that it has issues.
I'm not aware of these, could someone explain please?
Just to name two that would be enough for me. They had problems which lead to compromised private keys. Luckily the person that found the flaw did return all coins (800 BTC)[1]. They had significant problems with the last malleability attack, showing completly wrong balances (double on incoming TX, negative on outgoing TX) [1] https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/interview-johoe-hacker-returned-800-bitcoins/ |

Hi! i'm a bitcoin newbie here How can I earn Bitcoins fast and free?? thanks for the help  Welcome, let me try to translate your question. How can I earn money fast and free?? How can I earn gold fast and free?? How can I earn <valueable good> fast and free?? You cant, its valueable because you cant get it fast and free at the same time. You can get free bitcoin from faucets, but thats not fast. You can get bitcoins fast, but thats not free (it requires either work or other forms of currency). Edit: faucet section -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=212.0 |

Thanks for the NSFW warning.
You're welcome. BTW, is he banned for posting NSFW stuffs? 
A different algorithm compared to what? The algorithm to determine when you will be legendary was posted by theymos. It only relies on the user id and a secret hash that is identical for all users but unknown to anyone without database access.
Can you please link that post here? Is the secret hash calculated and chosen fortnightly and in that way hero members become legendary? Code: Can you make getting legendary provability fair? So we know if you don't like us that we get it anyway  Nah, that'd significantly complicate things. Currently this randomness is done with a single SQL query, which is very convenient. update smf_members set ID_POST_GROUP=21 where ID_POST_GROUP=8 and
activity>=775 and activity>=775+conv(substr(sha1(concat(ID_MEMBER,
secretSeed)), 1, 2), 16, 10); The required activity level per user is suitably random for betting, but anyone who can read my code (there are a few such people) will be able to exactly predict when someone will become Legendary, so I don't really recommend it. Seed is hardcoded or stored in the database (otherwise it could not be read): Out of curiosity, how would someone who can read your code be able to accurately predict when someone will become legendary without the secret seed?
I meant that the secret seed is in the code, so if you have access to it then you'll be able to calculate the number directly. It also cant change, because that might result in already legendary members to lose their rank. |

Just take a look at once of his shitposts. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1273904.0He spams shit around the forum, and after someone disagrees with him, he locks the thread. He makes complaints about everything, and doesn't actually contribute. I don't see a reason why he should even be here. I've seen his name authoring one too many complaint posts. (Sorry, don't know how to do a poll. Obviously this guy knows how to do it. Almost all his threads have polls...) Nope, just hit "ignore". |

left negative, but as shorena said password was changed using old password, not reset
so either someone who know old password changed this or you sold the account and trying to get it back
Just that. I am wikenpp, but now my account got banned for 14 days. That signed message was the one you sent me remember. After that i transfered you the coin so I could change the pass and use this account. How sick can you be to sell it, and earn from it, and then want it back? I know buying an account is condoned (altough not advised), however it's not illegal. Another one, suppose I had the skills to hack you, would I sell the account or use it risk being banned? @Shorena and Shield Please check his story and determine for yourself if it makes sense. If you would consider deleting the trust rating or one any other from of proof of me (payment tx), just tell me. If you would turn your negative trust in something green, I will forgive for you for that :s @havargas You are a sick freak. People like you who choose the easy way and earn money illegal, will never make it nor will EVER be happy. Just for clarification here, because Im not sure I can follow you. You accepted this: -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Im owner of account wikenpp, some one change my password some hours ago and now i can't login to my account, and i can't reset password, also some one change my email and bitcoin address.please reset password to my email simplenick82@yahoo.com
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNATURE-----

as a message in an account deal? I mean its asking for a reset. Can you help me understand? |
