4541  Economy / Games and rounds / Re: ANOTHER FREE 0.005 BTC GIVEAWAY! on: August 12, 2016, 09:06:04 AM
I've spent an hour researching and I am still not certain I know how to do it.
However, thank you for these giveaways, at least they make me learn something new.


PS. It also made me skip the breakfast lol
I believe in sharing info/working together, so far i've found these steps, untested by me, since the inputs were already spent by the lucky winner
Disclaimer: I have no experience with multisig wallets, so i'm only learning this myself. Information in this post might be wrong/inaccurate!!!
There might still be errors/mistypings in these steps, everybody is welcome to help and learn something in the process Wink

I have used the site preev.com for many months and loved it.  It was an easy and clean, simple site that gave a quick conversion calculation for BTC to USD or whatever.  it loaded quick because there was pretty much nothing there but the drop downs and the numbers.  It has been going offline more and more here recently and I was wondering what other sites people use for the quick, on the fly conversions.  It was great when outside of the office and using a mobile phone because it loaded really quick.  Any suggestions?

I've just learned there's a clone: preev.net
Seems to work pretty good, and it seems to have more or less the same functionality as preev.com

Posting to wait for a response from the person given the vouch!

I can confirm i received the vouch copy.

I quickly installed it on my android phone using the official app from the playstore. I can confirm that the OP has given my a fully functional account!
I logged in with the given credentials, and was able to chose a server. Tested if it was working => OK.

So as far as i'm concerned, the OP does have acces to accounts. I can vouch for this, altough i have no idear about the method he used to get the account or how long it will last (i actually have no idear, only time will tell).

I'll test some more tomorrow, when i'm at the office, and edit this post afterwards.

EDIT after some more testing: i've did a couple different setups, all seems to be consistent with a full ipvanish account Smiley

4545  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: My bitcoin address is used by someone else on: August 11, 2016, 09:31:37 AM
Doesn't really matter who or what happened... If you did not create transaction https://blockchain.info/tx/e9ee203c3cdadc416ab29a7a4b48bfea89d39246286ab101bd61def27e56462e and the address is 100% certainly owned by you, you are compromised in one way or another (either intentionally, or by accident).

Either coinb.in has a bug/problem and generated the same private key twice, you were the victim of an attack during the creating of the private key (maybe a phising website or something), or your pc is compromised (those seem to be the most likely scenarios).

I'd never, ever use that address again, move all funds that belong to you away from this address, make sure my pc was 100% clean (maybe even do a complete reinstall just to be sure) and stay away from online wallets in the future

the address has this incoming transaction 4be3bc47b3d8c5c1c8ef30ebd5a87a09f2acd59183e03aaec189a0ebe7f8c714 . It came from
https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/4be3bc47b3d8c5c1c8ef30ebd5a87a09f2acd59183e03aaec189a0ebe7f8c714

Seems to be an address belonging to fortunejack... Did you withdraw your gambling winnings? If not, maybe fortunejack can get you into contact with the second user using this private key???

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=110656.0

Seems like Torwallet has a shady past, there have been concerns since 2012

Bottom line: don't use online wallets... If you don't controll your own private key, you don't controll your funds.
If you have any VALID reason to trust a stranger with your keys (an online wallet), at least pick one that has a solid reputation instead of using one that's unknown.

Like Xanidas said, your only chance is contacting their support dept. They're the ones controlling your funds Sad

4549  Economy / Economics / Re: Are we going down to the end ? on: August 03, 2016, 06:14:43 AM
I see the price of bitcoin from a few days have changed from 650 USD to 539 USD right now that I am checking preev website. This is bad to all of us who are holding bitcoins since a long time now. What do you think, are we in to go down up to 160 USD as it were in early 2015. And in 2015 it did happen because Evolution marketplace scammed users an amount of bitcoin worth to 12 mln USD. At this time I don't see something happening at deep web. Is this because some whales are dumping the coin during this time? I cannot give this a logical explanation.

Probably this time, it's because of this: http://www.coindesk.com/bitfinex-shuts-down-customer-bitcoin-stolen/

This time, it seems to be about 60 mln USD that's gone.

I'm not panicking tough, i think BTC will overcome  Grin

Want to set up re-occurring payments for members to send for my Official Netflix service here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1492674.0
Anyone give advice on how best to identify re-occuring payments on similar payment amounts e.g. $5 from multiple senders?





My advice would be to generate a new address for each customer. This way it's easy: just check if there are new inputs this month => if there are sufficient inputs, everything is OK; otherwise the service needs to be cancelled.

4552  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Why do you need to download 7 years of chain block on: August 01, 2016, 12:07:51 PM
ok, so I installed bitcoin core latest version and it downloaded over 80G of chain block. Let's assume, just for the fun of it, there are 1000 bitcoin core users out there. That's ~8T of wasted disk space. and considering bitcoin will live another 7 years and it will grow of couse, that's like ~20T of disk space (1000 users remember?) for what? couldn't be a centerlaize, maybe mirrored, location that the client will ask for the chain block from there? Why do we need to download it?

That's just the basic concept of bitcoin, it's a decentralised ledger, no authority, no banks... All users can (and should) download the full blockchain. If you would use 1 or 2 centralised servers, it wouldn't be a decentralised system Wink


Well, I look at linux as an example of decentralized system. poeple download it online. I doesn't have 1 or 2 servers but houndreds of independent mirror servers and you can download it from any of them. or is it a bad example?

Also, I might not grasp the subject fully, but where is the blockchain downloaded from?

Hi,

I edited my previous post, but apparently you already quoted it before i saved my edits (i was a bit to slow Smiley ) .

To answer these questions:
Question 1: the example of comparing bitcoin to linux is not a very good one, that being said, you can actually use an SPV client (like i mentioned above).
This client will connect to a central server that has has been synched. Those SPV clients will only manage your private keys, labels and adresbook. That way you have most of the security of a desktop wallet without having to download all blocks.

Question 2: The blockchain is downloaded from other peers, but not from a centralised server.

That being said, there are alternatives... If the synchronisation of the blockchain is to much for you: you can use an SPV client.

Examples are: electrum and multibit HD

I want to know, how to setting our wallet to paying everyday to some wallets address? Please give me step by step.

regards,

I don't think this is possible on blockchain.info. Why do you want to do this? You will have to pay fees for each transaction. Better to bundle your payments if it is to one specific address.

The OP didn't mentioned he used blockchain.info Wink

I think there might be some extreme situations where his question might be usefull (altough i cannot seem to think of one right now).

The question itself should be solvable with most (but probably not all) desktop wallets, i already gave some pointers for bitcoin core daemon in the post right above yours.

I want to know, how to setting our wallet to paying everyday to some wallets address? Please give me step by step.

regards,

I guess it depends on your wallet. If you run bitcoin core deamon (bitcoind), i guess you can easily use a scheduled task (or a cronjob) to do this task for you...
Offcourse, you'll need to unlock your wallet before sending any coins, so you'll need to enter your password in your scheduled task, cronjob, or script used to process the payment. This will significantly decrease your wallet's security.

Code:
bitcoin-cli walletpassphrase "YourLongPassphrase" "timetounlock"
bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress "address" "ammount"
4558  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: you guys need to do something. anything. on: August 01, 2016, 06:10:08 AM
Pay a higher transaction fee. Works every time.
Put aleast 0.00094btc on your transaction for the miners fee to ensure it gets out within your estimated time of it's 1st confirmation or you will be waiting for 2 hours for it to even get that.

This is kind of a "brute-force" method, just send such a high fee it would cover most worst-case scenarios. Most of the time, you'd be paying way to much.
However, in some extreme cases, using a (high) standard fee might not even be sufficient. A theoretical example:

Person A is a faucetter, he claims from dozens of faucets 8 hours a day for months on end. After all this time, he has collected 1001 0.001 BTC inputs. When he opens his online wallet, he sees a saldo of 1.001BTC.

One day, he decides to spend his 1.001BTC buying a nice new cellphone costing exactly 1 BTC, so he sends the 1BTC and uses the 0.001BTC as a fee.

Now let's see what can happen:

His transaction size could be estimated as
1001*180 + 1*34 + 10 = 180244 bytes
You have added a 100000 satoshi fee. 100000/180244 = 0.55. You have added a 0.55 satoshi per byte fee!!!

https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ teaches us that at this very moment, you'll need to add a 80 satoshi per byte fee in order to have a reasonable chance to get into the next block.
Adding a 0.55 satoshi per byte fee might make sure your transaction never confirms, so you'll need to either make sure you stop broadcasting and let the nodes forget the transaction, or create a double spend, or pay a pool operator to include your transaction...

This is why i personally don't really like standard fees, even high ones.
4559  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: you guys need to do something. anything. on: July 29, 2016, 01:07:10 PM
I have heard others mention that they had to pay a higher fee recently to get quick confirmations.
What sources do you guys use to determine your fees?

I'm pretty uneducated when it comes to fees and always leave my Electrum wallet on dynamic,
but I would like to learn more about this subject if it means I can save a little bit of money in transaction costs.

1) calculate the transaction size (in bytes)*
2) visit https://bitcoinfees.21.co/
3) note the recomended fee PER BYTE
4) multiply the size of the transaction with the recomended fee => you're done Wink


* an estimation of the size can be found like this: in*180 + out*34 + 10
For example, if i'm creating a transaction with 4 inputs and 2 outputs, and the recomended fee on https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ is 50 satoshi's per byte:

((4*180)+(2*34) + 10)*50 = an ideal fee of 39900 satoshi's (~0.0004BTC)

Please note: the fee has NOTHING to do with the amount of bitcoins transferred! this is a common mistake... The size of the fee only depends on: the number of inputs, the number of outputs, the recomended fee per byte.
Note 2: even if you add an exeptional high fee, a pool operator might still chose not to include your transaction. On the other hand, a pool operator might include your transaction even if you add a low fee... It's his right to pick the transactions he wishes to include, but usually he'll pick the transactions with the highest number of satoshi's per byte so he can optimalize his income.

A couple of exeptions would be: using very old and large inputs (you might want to read about Priority transactions, altough a lot of pool operators seem to ignore this lately) or paying a pool operator to include your transaction in a block even if it has a very low fee
4560  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Transaction sent to Electrum stuck on pending. on: July 29, 2016, 01:01:33 PM
I recently transferred 0.29454 mBTC to my Electrum Wallet.  I used the address given me.  The service i used to send the coin states the transaction is complete.  On the Electrum side, under the Receive tab it is stuck on pending and has been for 24 hours.  The addresses match perfectly.  Under history there is no sign of the transaction anywhere.  Where can it be and what can i do?

Sometimes restarting electrum works (sometimes the transaction was already included in a block, but electrum fails to update the status, in this case restarting it will solve the "problem"). If it doesn't work, we'll need the tx id to see what's happening (open electrum, go to the history tab, right click on the pending transaction, copy id to clipboard, paste the ID in this thread)
