The OP seems to be using blockchain... Altough it's solid advice to go for a desktop wallet, an online wallet cannot be resync'ed...

depends on the rest of the setup... If you're behind a router that has it's own DHCP server, you can usually just install a switch. If not, a router has to be used, the WAN port connected to your ethernet cable, the LAN ports for your internal network. Offcourse, it has to be setup correctly.


When you connect your pc with the ehternet outlet, does your current ip address start with 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x? In that case, you're probably behind a router, and you can probably just use a switch...

Please notice the word PROBABLY. The person that has setup your network might have used things like MAC address filtering, static ip's only,... in this case you'll still have to use a router instead of a switch

basically, just look at this page:

https://blockchain.info/address/1CqYkCjZThQotjXn1h7yVVCCxDt7nGdLvF

the last input you got was from BTCDoubleX.com it already has 42 confirmations, so it's usable. (Look out with BTC doublers, they're almost 100% of the time cataloged as a ponzi/scam, meaning that sooner or later they'll stop paying and run with your money)
As for now, this address holds 0.01180028 which can be spent (a bit less, because you'll have to pay some miner fee in order to get your transaction included in a block)

incoming or outgoing transactions that are not shown on this page, were not included in a block, so they cannot be used.

which wallet are you using? if it's blockchain, you should only have 1 address, can you post this addresess? In case you're using a desktop wallet (core, multibit, electrum,...) you'll have multiple addresses. can you post the address you were using?

the 3 transactions you mention are pruned from blockchain's database, so i cannot see them, i have no idear if they're incoming or outgoing, what their inputs or output are,...  i tried a couple other explorers but couldn't find them either...

It's basically quite simple, just look at your own account on blockchain.info. All incoming transactions that are confirmed are currently spendable. All unconfirmed/rejected/pruned transactions are not spendable.

quoted, will verify with electrum and edit this posts afterwards

EDIT: verified with electrum, but you did mess up the format, here's the correct one:

apparently, if the sender keeps rebroadcasting this transaction, it will eventually be picked up and included/confirmed.
If not, the sender will be able to make a new transaction with these inputs as soon as the network forgets about this tx

if you keep on having problems, you can always ask shorena, he/she is an expert in this stuff

indeed... you should move this to the scam accusation AND post the id of the PM so it can be verified by Badbear/Theymos in case that's needed...

You're correct about the possibility of a sold account:

Completely correct... Just a quick addition: try to use oclvanitygen, it uses your GPU and is a lot faster

The miners still get the fees, so hopefully by then, the fees should be worth enough to make mining profitable
If the fees aren't enough for mining to be profitable, some miners will stop mining, raising the amount of blocks found by the leftover miners... that way the leftover miners find more blocks => more fees => profit

Well... A faucet needs to pay BTC to it's visitors... You either do this by hand, you install bitcoind on your server and use JSON-RPC or you use an API and pay your visitors from a blockchain account (other online services might offer a payment API to).
If you chose a manual payment option, it'll take you a lot of time to manually do all your payments, but the faucet script will be a lot cheaper.

If you use a website to create your rototator, your rotator is no longer "from scratch", and you don't need a scripter anyways... Depending on the creator service, the rotator might be hosted with them, or you might get some php scripts for you to install on your server (basically any webhost can help you with the installation).

An answer to your last situation... disclaimer: this is not a quote, just a basic guess based on how much time i guess i would need to make a project like this... If i ever make you a quote, prices might vary (a lot) from the prices i indicate here after i did a full study on the problem...

Also, this is always just the price i guessed for designing a proper relational database and the scripting for the backend... The design is a completely different thing which i know nothing about.

• A simple basic faucet will cost a lot less... it's basically a decent, normalised mysql database witch keeps track of btc adresses ip's, claims and payouts... combined with a simple script to make a claim (and check some basic stuff like time between claims and proxy usage)... combined with a simple shell script from the cronjob to make daily payouts (using JSON-RPC with a local wallet, or using an API... for example blockchains)... I guesstimate it would cost around $200-$250 without a design
• basic preev.com (only USD-BTC) .... Just a frontend for an API... for example bitcoinaverage.com, around $100 without design
• a rotator: see my previous post in this thread

Just a quick question: on bitify you ask $125/piece, and on the same page you tell the people the retail price is $50-$60. Why are they more expensive second hand than when you buy them directly from the producer?
Am i missing something here?

I usually ask around $30/hour for custom coding (php/mysql).

At first glance, i guess:
freebitco.in would cost at least $1000-$1500
auto-escrow site: no idear, it would depend on the technical specs
gambling site: no idear, not a gambler myself, so it would depend on the tech specs
price showing site: using an API from an existing website, it would cost $100-$150
faucet rotator (bitcoinfaucetrotator.com is down), if this is just a list of faucets in a frame, it would probably take 2-3 hours ($60-$90)
shopping site: depending if it's from scratch, or can be based on an open source shop, it will still need at least 10 hours to make some plugins and stuff

This is just a quick guess, not even an estimate... I guess the price would be around these numbers for the scripting, but can be influenced by a lot of factors (tech specs, open source code reuse,...)... Add some more money for the design tough!

You're speaking about a bitcointalk forum account, right?
Aren't you able to recover your hacked account? It should work in case you staked an address in an old post... Theymos (and BadBear) accept password reset questions in a very specific format (i'm to lazy to use the search function right now, but it should be easily findable).

I'm not using an android client, but isn't it possible to export the private key?

https://github.com/schildbach/bitcoin-wallet/issues/23

Once you have that one, it should be really easy to import it in bitcoin core or electrum (or blockchain.info if you don't care about security) and sign from there?
Or am i missing something?

It's a grey area... If it's clear that the abuser is spamming (leaving the same text for tens and tens of users), sometimes trust is removed... I've seen it happen before, but it's not very common, and only for the really bad cases.

I'm interested in a little bit of background info aswell... haven't got a clue as to what this puzzle is...

Like Shorena said, the trust page isn't moderated... I know it's not fun having a negative remark on there, but i'm afraid there's not much you can do...

If i were you, i'd PM lovevps1 and kindly ask him what went wrong... explain the fact that you don't recall doing any business with him, and ask if he/she can show you the tx-id's from the transaction he/she did with you...
If he doesn't answer, and it's important enough for you, you can make a thread in the reputation section, but chances of getting the neg revoked are slim if you chose this option.

All in all, red trust from an untrusted member isn't the end of the world, but i understand it's not fun.

To answer your question:

Q)how does a loan with the account as collateral works
A)you give your username/password to either the lender, or a trusted thirth party (escrow). If you pay back the loan, you get your account back. If you fail to pay back, your account is usually sold.
Your account needs to be worth at least 120% of the loaned amount + intrest.

Q)if i apply for a loan, and use my account on bitcointalk as collateral, how can i contact the lender
A)you guessed correctly, you just make a new account, and let the lender know about this account before closing the deal.
