How the hell do you mine this coin with nvidea? Website instructions are complete garbage.

download the miner and wallet (you may need to disable anti virus)
dump private key from wallet and paste it into the following text file  (as shown, last line) then save it as text file
 and remame it spreadcoin.config and save it to the spreadcoin folder in your roaming folder


rpcuser=rpcuser
rpcpassword=rpcpass
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.0.*
rpcport=41677
port=41678
gen=0
server=1
addnode=5.35.253.206
addnode=94.23.23.194
addnode=52.17.253.8
addnode=37.59.18.108
miningprivkey=(put your wallet private key here)

double click on the example bat file in the miner folder (spreadminer -o http://127.0.0.1:41677 -u rpcuser -p rpcpass)
make sure rpcuser and rpcpassword variables match up to the example bat file
so your bat file for above code should be....(spreadminer -o http://127.0.0.1:41677 -u rpcuser -p rpcpass)

.. you are now solo mining spread

if these instructions are garbage then you need to learn a little basic mining 101
ive been solo mining spread flawlessly with this code with nvidea for over a year. found hundreds of blocks

or simply just watch this tutorial vid  ...

the fact that you actually post on that retarded embarrassment of a

see my previous post.

so I came up with this new drinking game.
every time BADecker posts his copy pasted  boilerplate merry go round links with his stupid comment about
people who don't understand science...
you drink!!
anyone who frequents this thread has seen em a million times and just ignores em  so  I thought
its a great way to put a buzz on and get a good laugh.

I don't think BADecker actually believes any of the godswill drivel he posts TBH.
hes actually a fart smeller smart feller.
he just likes trolling all us rational peeps.
just like those flat earth characters that have nothing better to do with their lives.

update viabtc worked for me, confirmation finally came through, payment completed after 4days. wow btc wtf! why do we have to go through all this stress just to make a payment. @everyone else thanks for your advise. in case of next time how do I set my electrum wallet to make sure the fees are enough for quick confirmation?

if you are using latest version a little dynamic fee slider will appear when you click send , when you hover over it, it tells you
how many blocks your tx will confirm in. the higher you slide it (and thus pay higher fee) the less blocks
it takes to confirm. very nice feature.

That dude will win a Pulitzer for that insightful news article.

and as is always the case with these idiotic articles, comments are epic.
already added to Bitcoin Obituaries, that didnt take long

https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoinobituaries/

shows how far we've come in a few short years - back in 2013/2014 the comments would have been largely skeptical of Bitcoin. Now, its unanimously pro btc. We're still not mainstream yet, but taking this kind of thing as a signal, it won't be too much longer.

and note how at start of cough...hack job...ehem article he states that "What you’re about to read is wildly opinionated..."
as if he knows hes gonna get lambasted in comments....and... voila!

Not sure if this is correct thread for this question but here goes..
I'm trying to sweep private keys from a very old multi bit wallet into my just installed Electrum.
(I cant adjust fee in the old multi bit so coins are basically unsendable)
So i have dumped the keys from multibit.
I managed to get only one (out of about 20) to work. i swept it,broadcast, and funds showed up in electrum wallet.
All the rest of the keys i tried same process but gives me the message
"no inputs found, note inputs need to be confirmed".
one more thing... and the reason i'm doing this, i currently have a stuck transaction in my old multibit wallet that's unconfirmed
because of you guessed it...fee too low.  
Im suspecting this maybe reason private keys wont sweep into Electrum? IDK as I'm not good at this technical stuff.
I never thought it would be so complicated . I just want to transfer coins from an old wallet to a new.
Any help would be appreciated. thanx and great wallet btw

To send money from one wallet to another you simply send to one of the receiving address of the target wallet. So go to the receive tab of your electrum wallet and grab the address it gives you there. Put that into multibit and send your bitcoins there. You don't have to muck about with private keys!

The problem was my ancient multibit wallet has the fee set way too low and no way to adjust.
So any send transactions from that wallet would automatically get stuck and never confirm.
The Electrum sweep and broadcast method enabled me in effect to transfer coins and have the receiving
Electrum wallet pay the proper fee, rather than the sending wallet. Very useful for my predicament.
Its all done btw . Apart from a password glitch (thank you seed recovery!) this AM, I'm all good thanx.

Very much any information about the fact that people reject God and religion as such. Perhaps atheists have some specific arguments for their opinions, but for some reason they only cling to Christianity. At the same time they avoid Islam. I would like to see that a Muslim will make such a person for such words.
That is because Christianity is the one to claim scientific proof of their bullshit story and when they get rejected with proper arguments, they start acting childish and trying to look good in everybody's eyes so they don't get their little honor hurt. Muslims claim to be the last religion, the true one and then it's all death. There's nothing to argue with them, they attack and people retaliate. They might go extinct in some tens or hundreds of years if they keep it going like this.

Here, this is a really accurate depicting of the 'religious world' that we live in.

POLONIEX tradebotzzz = moooooon Wink lol #dgb4life bwaahaa


In real world use case I don't think average users will want to create a new channel for every single time they trade with someone new. It will be a hassle. They will want to just use 'the lightning network'.   Hub and spoke will arise naturally as most efficient and fast way of routing through the network.
 

So there you have: If most people use LN for their small transactions/payments more block space there is for the "important" transactions if you are willing to pay the fee. You can choose which method you use. What's bad about that?

It's not that you need to chose one way or another, you will be able to decide for each transaction you decide to make.

The bit I don't like is everyone else using 'central' hubs to put their transactions through.  


Where do you see the problem of mining centralisation when everyone can just buy their own miner?  

Because they don't have an incentive to go through all that trouble.

Yes that illustrates my point LN users wont be incentivised to go to all that trouble either.

Thanks, at least you guys are giving me some food for thought. Mainly responses have been trollish before.

It's not that users wont be incentivised to go to... Which trouble? Standard BTC transactions will be exactly the same trouble as they are now, nothing changes. But yes, users will be incentivised to use LN for several reasons:

- Lower fees
- Almost INSTANT transactions <- This is a really important point. No blocksize increase could ever reduce a minimum of 10 mins for the first confirmation.
- Real scalability: No more TPS limit. LN networks could process thousands, maybe even millions of transactions per second.
I think you're missing my point.  They have an incentive to use LN, but they don't have an incentive to create a personal channel for every transaction.

Quote from: bitserve
The future usage I envision for myself is something like this:

- For moving my BTC in non trivial ammounts -> BTC Blockchain
- For buying "coffee" or who knows what other smallish stuff -> LN
- For things between those two use cases -> LN or BTC Blockchain depending on the circumstances.
I agree with that actually.  The Lightning Network's transaction centralisation (which is somewhat inevitable, to be honest) shouldn't be too bad as long as people have the option available to use the real blockchain for large transactions and transactions that require the security of the blockchain.



boltzzz :-D LN are coffee hoarders ~ meh ===> NEW YORK CITY!!!

excuse the giant quote.... couldn't be bothered to edit (i always frack it up)...
anyway...not sure if its me getting old(probably is) but am I the only one who never knows WTF you are on about?

there is no help, its telling you what you dont want to hear.. you must wait till the your tx confirms.


ha! thought so .damn . it was just weird that one key did sweep successfully.
 ok thanx  

edit...hey now! that stuck tx is finally confirming (24 hours) as i write.. sweet!!! (that viaBTC  thingy works a treat!)

The "export private keys" option in Classic just dumps a text file will all the private keys for your addresses. MultiBit HD doesn't seem to provide any facilities to import private keys... you can only restore "seeds". I guess importing individual private keys kind of defeats the entire purpose of "HD".

So, you would need to use a wallet that supports importing of private keys and has proper fee adjustment mechanisms (like Electrum, turn on Dynamic Fees, RBF etc), import the key(s) into that wallet, and then send the bitcoins to MultiBit HD.

However, with the large number of people currently experiencing issues with MultiBit HD coughing up "Password did not unlock the wallet" errors, I would recommend that you stay away from MultiBit HD altogether and use something else.

ok i installed electrum and just figured out how to import the priv keys. Wont bother with sending to multi bit hd. I'll stick with electrum. Looks like a great wallet. Thanx
4397  Other / MultiBit / Re: MultiBit on: May 05, 2017, 11:34:30 PM
I just now realized I have some bitcoin in a really old multi bit classic wallet
that i cannot adjust fee on (version 0.5.18) ahhhh!!
Can someone tell me in laymans terms how to export the keys/transfer bitcoin to my multi bit HD wallet (VERSION 0.4.10)
(I know its not latest) . I don't want to send thru network and have it most likly get stuck  because of fee too low.
Already been down that road.
I can click on "export private keys" in the classic wallet but where to export to? The roaming multi bit HD folder?
The old classic wallet roaming folder has the wallet data file and key file which i assume are the files that are exported.
I just don't see those type of files in the multi bit hd roaming folder. So if i simply export will multi bit HD recognize them?
thanx in advance for any help.

Hi Litecoiners.  Can't believe I've never posted in this thread.  Weird!

Anyway, have I got this stuff right?  See you all the LTC Moon Party.  Cool

(snipped excellent post... see above)


Ditto that iCEBREAKER ...me neither (ie ...never posted in this thread).

Well seeing how Coinbase sells em now (that's gonna drive price up even more)  
 I just bought back in to celebrate price back where  
it was when I bought my 1st 3 coins with paypal back in late 2013.
Difference being this time its gonna keep climbing ..count on it.
4399  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 04, 2017, 11:59:14 AM
So at this point ya gotta feel for those that got caught up in the 2013 bubble.

I.e., bought around the 1000 mark during height of hype but did not manage to hodel during that seemingly

endless (in crypto terms anyway) bear market of 2015 but instead sold their coins around 230 (the price it hovered around at that time)

to cut their then perceived losses.

Oh man, you know there are a few of those people out there. I was a hodeling home miner during that time,

most likely mining at a loss, but for whatever reason, kept at it for a that whole year of price in the toilet,

while paying an astronomical electric bill. I guess I never lost faith and held, thank goodness, .Sold miner, kept the coins(most that is)!

In hindsight best financial decision I ever made. I’m still hodeling.

 

GO BITCOIN!!
