How do i do this? it says its encoded with base58 and when i copy paste the entire text of the multibit.key it says error decrpyting wallet
What am i doing wrong, do i need to decode the base58 private key?
if so how do i do it, please keep this simple i'm bad at technical stuff..
Why don't you just upload the .key file to blockchain directly? I believe blockchain.info can only read wallet.dat (bitcoin-qt) and wallet.aes.json directly. From: https://blockchain.info/wallet/features  Import / Export Multiple Private Key Formats - Mini private keys, Wallet Import Format, Base58, Base64 and Hex. Watch Only - Watch Only addresses allow you to view transactions at an address without storing the private key in your wallet. Brain Wallet - Generate A private key from a passphrase. Import From QR Code - Scan A private key using a webcam. Import Wallet Files - Vanitygen, pywallet, blockchain.info and multibit .key files supported.Export Encrypted or Unencrypted. JSON RPC Import - Import / Export using the bitcoind JSON RPC API Paper Wallets Sign Message - Sign a message to prove you own a bitcoin adddress. Verify Message - Verify the owner of a bitcoin address. Import Bitcoin-Qt Wallet - Import keys from a wallet.dat file.Thanks for that. Looks like you are right. I have only used this page ( https://blockchain.info/wallet/import-wallet) long long time before, and it only handles the 2 wallets I mentioned. BTW, they forget to mention bitcoin-qt in the features page.  No, they mention it at the bottom! Bolded it for you! A bit weird that they don't mention it with the other wallets though! |

don't talk as much; keep your mouth shut. if people perceive you as having less stress, they won't stress you out as much  Not true. I'm almost never stressed, however a good friend of mine is stressed all the time. She could really need some medication meditation lol  . |

Ahh I had this problem with XP the other day and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it, but when I tried to call support they told me they were now all dead.
Was the support team dead??? I always knew Microsoft was evil, but this… Oh my... |

Sucks for the people that have to upgrade. Hope they can afford it.
One word: Linux  I miss Windows XP, I still have a fresh sealed copy. Is it even safe to use it anymore? I wouldn't mind installing it on a spare PC.
As long as you don't connect it to the internet it should be fine to use! |

I am still using Windows XP is my favorite,but Windows seems to force people to use the news version  They cannot continue support for a 12 y.o. OS. It makes perfect sense. Though now I have to convince my grand-mother that she have to install a lightweight linux like Lubuntu (her machine is from 2005). But does not want to, since a 70-80 year old man she know will come next summer and install Windows 7. Good luck I say. Good luck with your grand-mother.And yes your right with windows xp support,is just my lazy ass keep me from updating my windows and buy a new laptop Thank you! Btw, you should switch to linux while you're at it! |

The UAE islands are more rock than sand. There is plenty of information regarding how it was build, look it up.
Concrete is hygroscopic... so no matter how well you build this island, you will get water inside everything. Salt creep would also be a major issue. The salt crystallization would also likely destroy the concrete from the inside. Strong concrete is reinforced with rebar. I imagine the cost of rebar that would not be very quickly corroded beyond use would be very high. Pykrete might be a better short term, floating island solution.
Maybe we could cover the concrete foundations with a thin layer of aluminum? Aluminum 5754 is pretty resistant to salt water if understand it correctly. |

How would you even do this?
Good question. Since it's purely hypothetical I don't have a plan that I've really thought through, lol. Maybe buy an island, develop the island until it's self-sufficient, declare it independent and hope the nation we stole the island from doesn't invade us. And in that case we would shoot until they give up or they've killed all of us! |

That's a good point. However, the plan is to be self-sufficient, so there won't be much use of a currency.
Bitcoin could however be declared our official currency as a statement.
No country in this world is 100% self-sufficient. I will give you an example. Some of the cancer drugs are patented to the US pharma. companies. That means that you cannot manufacture them in your country. You'll have to import them. To do that, you need fiat currency. Bitcoin will not do the job. Yeah, sure, not that we will sign any international copyright treaty anyway, but we won't have the resources to produce medical stuff in our country. And as someone else said, it's not hard to convert BTC to dollars or whatever. We have endless ways the generate money we needs to be creative and practical.
We can run hosting servers, operate cayman type banks, operate exchanges, accept tourist, operate gambling sites etc the possibilities to earn are endless. The profits can be used to expand the island, security and for our dollar reserve.
but the only currency accepted inside the island has to be bitcoin! as for tourists, when they enter the island we'll have stores where they could as soon as they enter purchase some coins with their dollars they will generate great revenue for us, there will be plenty of people willing to see the new utopia without taxes and without centralised currency, bringing money they will convert into bitcoins and spend in our stores, enhance the value of bitcoin (and our bitcoin reserve), put more money in hands of the islanders and increase our GDP Toursim could contribute to our economy. I know for sure that if I traveled in that area I'd visit a small nation like this. We'll build a harbour where all boats will arrive, and where we have our fishing boats. We could also let "illegal" sites operate servers on our island, for a small fee (basically anything except child porn). If we get a big surplus the money will be given to the residents. |

If the country currency is bitcoin,then count me in If it is so, then how will he take care of the foreign exchange? None of the other trade partners will be accepting BTC. So he will have to convert BTC in to USD or CNY every time he imports something from the outside world. That's a good point. However, the plan is to be self-sufficient, so there won't be much use of a currency. Bitcoin could however be declared our official currency as a statement. |

Nice plan, but is it possible ?
Yes, as long as people believe in it (and are willing to fight for it, which they were not in Minerva for example). |

Why constraint yourselves to earth? Moon and Mars are here, with lots and lots of unclaimed lands waiting to be populated. Mars one will send the first colonization mission to mars in 2023, we can do that too.
Y, internet a bit laggy, but soon they will make computers based in the quantum entanglement and this will not be a problem anymore
Erh, you thinking of Mars One? Cool project for sure, but that's a one way trip. They can only live in their small houses and there's a heavy delay on the internet. Why would we wanna do that? And now I'm not even mentioning how much it would cost. |

Hello,
New here too and to bitcoins also. I have an account with coinbase, but from what I gather that's not recommended? Should I be using the bitcoin core program instead?
Not necessarily Bitcoin Core, it takes a long time to sync with the network. Try Multibit instead, it's quick and easy to use. That way you're the only one with your private keys. |

RGC casino is now on maintenance?
as stated on Website "Down for maintenance Due to over whelming demand, we have had to upgrade our servers. We will be back online in the next 12 hours. We apologize for any inconvenience." So a Routine maintenance ..! to upgrade the server. Maybe it's about that SSL thing? |

Long live Bitcoinia! A better name is needed. if we build 2 islands close to each other we could be called Bitcoin Islands sounds cool If we build canals through the island we could call it that! |

I see, so you mean the wallet that I made at the blockchain which has a private key and a password but still someone could access it without the password and it's not safe. I'll find out more of the alternatives, thanks so much!
I have no idea what I am going to do after I buy some Bitcoins and I don't know if I'll mine (don't even know right now what exactly it is, I tried understanding about it but couldn't understand a single thing) but I'll think about that when the time comes, right now I am more concerned about getting to know the basics and doing everything right, step by step.
Essentially, yes. If someone breaks that encryption (the password) they can do whatever they want with the money (the private keys). So for example, someone hacks Blockchain and you run your wallet there, they could get the unencrypted private keys. Therefore you should only run your wallet on your computer so you're the only one with access to it. I'm afraid I'm not the right person to explain mining to you. It's a kinda difficult concept and I don't understand it on a deeper level! But essentially your computer solves problems in a block and if you're the first to solve the block you get a reward (25 BTC). You could also earn a little extra from transaction fees, since transactions are forwarded through those blocks. Sorry if I just made it even more unclear lol. |

I am gonna say it: I had to "suffer" through newbie jail so I want everyone else after me to "suffer" just the same. Be honest: A lot of you think the same way about it . Not at all. I don't really like the idea of a newbie jail, but the overall quality on this forum has been lowered, and instant access to all forums for new users is one reason. More one word posts, the same questions being asked over and over again on other sub-forums than Newbies, and lots of old threads being necro'd. A newbie jail might be annoying for new serious users, but it makes trolls avoid bitcointalk. And all new users asking questions like "what is a wallet" will ask it in Newbies. |
