4741  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Are specifications for a bitcoin mining rig the same as for wallet recovery? on: August 02, 2019, 03:47:50 AM
If I understand it correctly, mining is done by letting the GPU perform a (double) SHA256 operation with a certain shance/difficulty to mine a block. If I red it correctly, recovering a wallet password is done by running a lot of inputs (passwords) thourgh the SHA-256 protocol to generate a hash that matches the hash in a wallet. So basically the operation is the same, right?
Quite right, yes, you can use a GPU Mining rig for cracking wallet passphrase as long as the software supports multiple GPUs and your GPU models.
But it's not logical to think that wallets uses the same method as mining, different wallets use different encryption and implementations.
In fact, I can't find any wallet that uses solely SHA256 for encryption.
That's why most wallet recovery software uses bruteforce (give random/pre-generated chracters & words until it hit the correct one) than reverse-engineering the encryption.

Example: Electrum encrypts the wallet file using AES-256-CBC; Bitcoin Core uses the same for the private keys but with an encrypted master key by the user's SHA512 encrypted passphrase with other "random" stuffs.

So, what you should research about is the most suitable GPU model that's supported by most passphrase cracking software available online.
That, I can't help you.
4742  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How to import 2-of-3 multi-sig keys to Electrum wallet? on: August 02, 2019, 02:49:19 AM
So it didn't work, there's no other way but use Bitcoin Core equivalent software for BCD then.

That command was designed to sign the transaction using one of the wallet's private key (The one required by the Tx).
Or using the given private key, I guess adding multiple keys wasn't supported.

One last time, try signing the Raw TX using only one key at a time:
Code:
signtransaction('TransactionHEXEncoding', "PrivateKey01")
Including the punctuation and parenthesis.
4743  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Lightning Support. on: August 01, 2019, 03:26:33 AM
Electrum's Lightning wallet might be a custodial wallet, which isn't a problem if ease of use, and a smoother user experience is what we want. Sometimes people in the community cry for decentralization when giving up some of it for efficiency is the better path in my opinion.
His point was for backup purposes, because with the current suggestions with LN implementation, it's not possible to recover the whole wallet with opened channels using only the Mnemonic Phrase.
I can't find any written articles if it's possible with their "Watchtower implementation" since it saves a backup and keep the channels online even if the client is offline.
Only this non-answered post of shivaenigma to the link below.

Also I think that the routing should not be done in the client. Requires receiving a lot of data and once there are 1m+ nodes will take a long time to load each time you start electrum.
Late: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/2557#issuecomment-438718104, yes it will be done by the client.
But according to the post, they haven't decided to enable the client to forward payments but keeping it disabled may lessen the traffic:

  • no forwarding of payments for now (Electrum cannot be intermediate node in a payment route)
  • all channels created by Electrum are "private" (no channel_announcement, won't show up in channel gossip)
.
@nibor If you want your suggestions to be discussed, open a feature request in the official Github page (issues) with label: lightning: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/labels/lightning%20%E2%9A%A1
4744  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: bitcoin core qt only use 1 core on cpu on: July 30, 2019, 05:20:16 AM
here i m talking about the start of bitcoin qt when it scan the blockchain it doesn't need any connection for that
(i have a lot of old wallet.dat and need to open them all to see if there is btc in it, so each time it need to do a hole scan)

i have 16gb of ram, and here it only use 200mb
Next time, take the time to include all these info right from the start.

Have you already tried increasing the dbcache to half of your RAM? like 8192MB.
The cache isn't limited for verification but also start-up: Step7 Cache Sizes.
Note: the min-max value wasn't the same for the latest version.

If you have GUI, open "Options->Main Tab->Size of database cache"; if not, add dbcache=8192 to your bitcoin.conf file.

and other clue is the cpu 1 core is 100%  the other just idle and don'st matter what it keep like that
Hmm, when the other cores aren't needed, it wont be used.
Or it could be a problem with your system, do you have any other CPU-intensive applications for testing?
4745  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Mother of god: My Electrum default_wallet file is corrupted. HELP on: July 30, 2019, 04:31:43 AM
In addition to my post above, this statement quite bugged me:
In 2015, I bought 0.7 bitcoins for which I paid about $ 70.
Bitcoin never dropped below $200 in 2015 and it's impossible to buy 0.7BTC at $70 value.
If it was 2013, the price made sense (are you unsure of the date?) and the highest version that you must use is 1.9.x (like the example).

If it's some sort of a bargain and bought in Q4 2015, the highest version that you must try is 2.7 because of another wallet file format upgrade:
# Release 2.7.0 (Oct 2 2016)

 * The wallet file format has been upgraded. This upgrade is not
   backward compatible, which means that a wallet upgraded to the 2.7
   format will not be readable by earlier versions of
   Electrum. Multiple accounts inside the same wallet are not
   supported in the new format; the Qt GUI will propose to split any
   wallet that has several accounts. Make sure that you have saved
   your seed phrase before you upgrade Electrum.

But as I said, in every attempt, always delete the "tempxx" wallet file and re-copy and rename your "original" wallet file to the wallet directory.
4746  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Mother of god: My Electrum default_wallet file is corrupted. HELP on: July 29, 2019, 02:44:32 PM
Try this, but first make sure to re-download your wallet file from dropbox and keep a copy and rename it into "original" or "clean-copy".
Because most of the time, old wallet files turned out corrupted when attempted to load using the latest versions and when you attempt to open it using the old version again, it won't open as the file itself was messed up by the previous process.

# Release 2.0
 * Before you upgrade, make sure you have saved your wallet seed on
   paper.
 * New file format: Wallets files are saved as JSON. Note that new
   wallet files cannot be read by older versions of Electrum. Old
   wallet files will be converted to the new format; this operation
   may take some time, because public keys will be derived for each
   address of your wallet..
I suspect that the "upgrade process" is only available for 1.9 to 2.0 and later versions.

  • Download Electrum version 1.9 from here.
  • Copy the "clean-copy" to your default wallet directory and rename it into something like Test01 and load it.
  • If it successfully opened, click wallet tab->Seed and enter your passphrase, then copy your SEED.
  • Download the latest version and restore your wallet via the Option "Standard->I already have the SEED".
  • If next isn't clickable, click option, enable BIP39.
  • Select, "P2PKH" when prompted for address type.
4747  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How to import 2-of-3 multi-sig keys to Electrum wallet? on: July 28, 2019, 04:00:56 AM
-snip-
there is however a command that you could possibly use in your Electrum console called `createmultisig()`, it might help although i couldn't figure out how it works:
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/f60f690ca944b9611a6cbf7b29a8a8aab5f13b21/electrum/commands.py#L297-L303
It will just create and display the multisig address and its redeem script which he already have.
Wish Electrum had the "addmultisig()" command for spendable [imported] wallets.

@100bitcoin I don't know if "signtransaction()" will work but you'll lose nothing if you try.

Test [1] First create a watch-only wallet by importing your multisig address and create a (send-all) raw transaction - copy the Transaction HEX.
Next, go to the console tab (View->Show Console) and type the command:
Code:
signtransaction('TransactionHEXEncoding', ["PrivateKey01", "PrivateKey02", "PrivateKey03"])

Test [2] Create an imported wallet using the three private keys which will create a wallet with three separate standard addresses.
Go to Console tab, and type the command without the optional private keys.
Code:
signtransaction('TransactionHEXEncoding')

If successful, broadcast the signed transaction hex.
Once again, I only tried it using standard address/wallet, there's a high chance that it wont work for multisig.

I can agree with your explanation about the malware detection but,
since your software is closed-source, people will always be skeptical about it.

If I were you, I'll add reviews and testaments (from trusted source) or ask a trusted member to review this software to gain some reputation.
4750  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Multiple payments to one address on: July 24, 2019, 02:48:57 AM
Regardless of the consequences stated above, you can do it using "Tools->pay to many"

Click the image to view full size.


Just follow the image's format [Address, amount] and it will be sent to the same address as different outputs.

In the end, a payment of mBTC 3 will come to %btcaddress1%. But I want it will come in separate payments, and I want to pay a commission once.  Undecided
As you can see, the total transaction size is 395bytes (2inputs/6outputs) at 1sat/b with a total of 0.00000395BTC transaction fee (outputs doesn't add as much bytes as the inputs does).
4751  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Help needed Please for a GekkoScience R606 Set-up!!! cgminer code help!!!! on: July 22, 2019, 12:59:09 PM
Have you already tried the example above for testing purposes?

For ProHashing, you need to register (I think you already did) just use cgminer.exe -o stratum+tpc://prohashing.com:3335 you don't need to put your password as an argument (it's for the server's password for extra features).
The problem might be the "-p" argument that wasn't included here, the extra "x" and the last part "--gekko-r606800", but it will work with your username included.

I don't mine on ProHashing, 'tis may be wrong.
If there's a problem, seek help from Prohashing pool miners to the official thread (link in my 1st reply).
4752  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Help needed Please for a GekkoScience R606 Set-up!!! cgminer code help!!!! on: July 22, 2019, 03:51:55 AM
AFAIK, the next characters after the (lower-case) "-p" argument is the password but the example above was followed by "x" instead of a password (at least that was specified by the quoted post because ckpool doesn't requires it).
If you're using a pool that requires a password, specify the password instead of x.

And I think "--suggest-diff" was just added because of the expected hashrate of R606.

DO I also have to create a notepad page with this code written to it and save it into where I have the cgminer stored or do I just enter this into the cgminer program when I start it up everytime?
You can create a shortcut of cgminer.exe and add those to the Properties -> Shortcut Tab "Target", then save. (are you using Windows?).

Example: "C:\CGMiner_Folder_location\Cgminer_version.exe -o stratum+tcp://pool.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1bitcoinaddress -p x --suggest-diff 128"
4753  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Help needed Please for a GekkoScience R606 Set-up!!! cgminer code help!!!! on: July 21, 2019, 04:34:07 AM
FYI, "R606 miner" is BM1387 and here's the official support thread: GekkoScience NewPac / Terminus R606 (BM1387) Official Support Thread.

To get you started, select a mining pool first (example: ckpool) and select your server depending on your location.
After that, do whatever you were instructed to connect the R606 miner (I'm not familiar with USB miners)
then, open you cgminer and enter one of the command below (whole line).

Run syntax:

*nix [if not root level privileges, see Q&A]
./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://pool.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr -p x --suggest-diff 128

Windows
cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://pool.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr -p x --suggest-diff 128

OS X
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://pool.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr -p x --suggest-diff 128
I'll just explain the Windows syntax:
Yellow: The this depends on the Pool of your choice, some are stratum, http or socks5 (for ckpool: change the bolded part with the server of your choice).
Green: Worker ID, your earnings will be sent here (Bold: your wallet's Bitcoin address).
4754  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Structure of Bitcoin nodes infrastructure on: July 20, 2019, 03:19:35 AM
This site (bitnodes) will show you the total number of "visible" nodes and the global distribution of all nodes but not the varieties.

However, you seemed to have researched beforehand and mistook "wallet" or "clients" for "nodes",
that's why you've included "SPV nodes" and "light nodes" in your list, these aren't nodes but clients and often called light wallet or light client.
Those light wallets weren't individually included to the total number because these type of clients doesn't directly connect to the (Bitcoin) network but to a server which is a full node.

On the other hand, I can't tell if it's possible to differentiate pruned node and a full node if you're using a crawler to count them.
(crawler: used by those "node count" sites).

Thank you so much for the speedy replies Smiley

I'll just have to wait
It's now confirmed with 11 confirmations.

Next time, if you have no idea what to put in the fee rate, make 10sat/byte your minimum
(Higher for SegWit because some sites often have errors in computation of the fee with Segwit addresses).
Why? Some free accelerators like the one suggested above only accept TXIDs with fees higher than 10sat/byte  Wink
4756  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: multisig bug? on: July 19, 2019, 08:25:10 AM
Setup two 2 of 2 offline multisig wallets. Put some funds in. Setup a watch only wallet as a SINGLE wallet using only ONE of the multisig wallet's master public keys.
This will create a totally different watch-only wallet which isn't multisig, the addresses wont be the same thus the "real" wallet's balance won't show up.

Don't know if this is the correct forum, but I think I found a flaw in multisig. I may be wrong. I used electrum to test.
Have you tested it with wallet(s) with balance?
Have you properly set you 2 of 2 wallet? Maybe you've selected 1 of 2 from the slider.

Refer to these image:
For 2/2 multisig wallet-

For 1/2 multisig wallet-


But even with 1/2 multisig, creating a watch-only wallet using only one public key will create a standard watch-only wallet.
But with 1/2, you will be able to spend using one signature.
4757  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: BitTorrent work or not? How much you get BTT? on: July 19, 2019, 06:26:58 AM
Because of this, I ended up reading their Whitepaper.
And guess what, it's not even technical and details about "how they reward BTT from seeding" wasn't included (just mentioned) Undecided

I can't find anything online either, just all "how to" without the actual numbers and rewards.

IT is not working for me as well. I downloaded Bittorrent speed for the last two days,,, seeding every file I downloaded and all that I have, and my balance is not increasing. Created the wallet,,, took the private key and public address and just keep checking every day and no increase. Maybe it needs to be really trending seeds I will look later.
My guess is, the user(s) who've been downloading your files need to have the "Speed Increase" toggle button enabled for you to gain BTT.
(this paid in BTT "speedup" system sounds sketchy though).

You just "woke up" last December 22, 2018 (about 10months from now), so we can call it your "start date".
Also, experience isn't all about the account's registration date, some members who've recently registered probably have more "experience" than me.

How do I post imgur uploaded images into the body of my posts? It never shows the actual image. Just a link.
You need to be at least a Jr Member (1 merit) to be able to do that, or buy copper membership.

But you seem to be a genuine "gambler", I will look into your posts to find meritable post(s).
The thing is: users don't usually give merit to those boards, that's why.
-edit-
I've read your posts.
It's better to open a scam accusation against the casino/site if you think you're scammed than posting it to their own thread, that way DTs can tag the user.
A red flag is much "louder" than posting evidences to their own territory.
