Quoted, Verified.
If you click the link above, the notice will be show eror / not valid. but if you add a space after address (in sign message) That's will be valid. Anyone could give an explain?

In other tools, It's verified by https://tools.qz.sg/
StackGambler didn't enclosed his post inside [code][/code] tags and the space have "blended" to the forum's paragraph style.

Another one, he signed the message with the address 1K4CMazSr5V3MfcbVpC4gRhFW9JfJBpe4d to stake 3GwTPjGUHsRGqBAnqqdjmX8GrQN4ASoJH7 which is either a SegWit or Multisig address (haven't used yet, can't tell).

That can't be used for future verification, only 1K4CMazSr5V3MfcbVpC4gRhFW9JfJBpe4d address was staked.

By saying "non-wallet transaction", I would guess that you're talking about txidex=0 default.
With txindex disabled, you won't be able to get the transaction data using RPC from other transactions other than the ones in your wallet.

If it isn't a pruned node, the full blockchain will be stored as blk.dat in your drive regardless of the txindex settings.

1. How does my node verify/validate the past blocks without knowing the transactions from that block? I'm assuming other nodes don't store the transaction data so how is it that my node obtains the transactions to do a full validation of the particular block?
Nodes are programmed to check each block from syntax errors to network rules violation, if there's something wrong, it will be rejected.
When it comes with previous blocks, the block header in each block that contains the merkle root is enough to verify them.

Quote from: leafsfan1967
2. If the transactions are not stored on my computer, how do I have a full copy of the blockchain? I thought this was one of the points of running a node - you have a full backup of the entire blockchain. How could I reproduce the entire blockchain (if needed) without having the transaction data within each block?
Transactions are stored in the blocks (blk00000.dat~ in your computer).
Actually (as an answer to 3 and 4) you can use a block parser to convert the raw (binary) data into HEX or human-readable format.
Example: Readable: Block height 443870 / HEX: Block height 443870

Quote from: leafsfan1967
3. If transactions are not stored, what exactly is stored in the block data and how is that useful?

Based on my own experience as of the current mempool volume, a 20sat/byte can be confirmed within an hour and a 40sat per byte can be confirmed in the next block (<10minutes).

No need for such a high fee. This is what the mempool looks like as of your post (from Johoe's Bitcoin Mempool Statistics):
-snip-
10 sat/byte would have been fine for next block, or 12 sat/byte if you wanted to play it even safer.
Yes, that's what the next sentence of my post said Cheesy

That's why he needs to base it from the mempool (ticked by default) and always check the "mb from tip" in every transaction.
I don't trust estimate-fees listed online plus most online Bitcoin statistic sites read Transaction with SegWit data's fee lower than the actual value.
5064  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum Sending Fee? on: March 30, 2019, 02:55:45 AM
I thought of something else.  If you send with a low fee, is there a chance you could get that message where it say you cannot send with low fee and get that phishing message though?
Phishing messages will only pop-up if you have Electrum version lower than 3.3.0 and connected to the hacker's server.
Otherwise, it will just crash or stuck on synchronizing.

Other answers:
Based on my own experience as of the current mempool volume, a 20sat/byte can be confirmed within an hour and a 40sat per byte can be confirmed in the next block (<10minutes).
I never use 10sat/byte for "urgent transactions" but if Electrum shows "1mb from tip" when you hover over the tx fee picker, there's a chance that it will get confirmed in 10minutes to less than an hour.
BTW, I use SegWit Addresses.

But it still depends on the number of transactions in the mempool so, always check the the "N mb from tip" in the tx fee scroll.
5065  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin Core only software to run full node on bitcoin network? on: March 30, 2019, 02:38:36 AM
It's not the only software, there are other options like Armory wallet and Bitcoin knots as well and I could be wrong but I think Bitcoin unlimited is meant to be for Bitcoin cash network which has different rules.
AFAIK, it supports both networks but the user must indicate which network to run.

@leafsfan1967
You only got two options: Bitcoin Core or Bitcoin Knots
I wouldn't trust anything other than the wallets with full node listed here: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet.

Also, Armory had changed developer(s) since the inclusion (or before?) but can still be trusted.
5066  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GPU issues - freezing after 3-6 mins on: March 29, 2019, 03:07:05 AM
Are the cards toast for mining?
You said that the AMD drivers made the rig stable, however, regular AMD drivers wont push the GPU to the limit when mining and the cause might be the GPU's HSF, the entire cooling system (including thermal paste) or the card acting up.

-When was the last time you cleaned the HSF or replaced the Thermal compound?
-Have you tried to mine using the rig installed with only the "Good" GPUs?
---If it also freeze with the good ones, it must be something else (the OS's updates, driver, PSU issues or RAM slot problem).

Not that it's against the rules but (spamming links does), you should create your own thread in Economy > Marketplace > Goods with a link to your website than bumping old threads.

5068  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: BTC transaction confirmed but seeing confirmation increasing !! on: March 29, 2019, 02:12:42 AM
It must be the expiration time of the invoice which is 15minutes.
I checked the listed transaction ID and noticed that it got 1 confirmation after 14minutes but Bitpay requires Two Confirmations and the transaction got its 2nd confirmation after 24 minutes.

I see that you've already contacted Bitpay after your last reply.
5069  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: ISSUES unconfirmed BTC over 10 h on: March 29, 2019, 01:52:33 AM
just confirmed thanks
Next time, if the current average tx fee is a bit high (or even not);
Set your tx fee equal or greater than 10sat/byte and 18sat/byte for SegWit addresses for it to be eligible to viabtc's transaction accelerator.

Next, re-broadcasting or "pushing" the transaction won't "accelerate" it.
It will just do the same thing as your wallet does when you click "send" bitcoins or "broadcast" the transaction.
You need a miner or mining pool's service to do that like pool.viabtc's accelerator.
5070  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Need help, stop TX with my own node. REWARD on: March 28, 2019, 03:18:07 AM
I still don't see another transaction in blockexplorers using that transaction's input. I'll be too late if you leave it that way.

If you used the coinb method, you need to broadcast it using the broadcast tab after creating the signed transaction.
It won't automatically broadcast after clicking "send"; copy the raw Tx, click "broadcast" tab and paste it there, click "submit".
Take note: you need to include the specific input's tx id for coinb to know the exact input to spend (it's in the online blockexplorers).

If that helped, you can keep the reward.
5071  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: A Decentralised platform for Translators! on: March 28, 2019, 03:06:26 AM
Guys, stop questioning the relation of the project with crypto if the only application you know is to use it as a storage.
The main purpose is written in the OP, non-AI based translations which will be manually done by users that will be be paid in crypto (Only tokens which is unconvincing).
The reason must be: most projects and developers prefer human translations than GT or other AI.

However TranslateME, adding "decentralized" to the name of the project just because it's crypto-related IMO sounds unimaginative and dumb in the eyes of digital currency "tech-guys".
As the matter of fact, I've seen too many projects promoting them as "decentralized something" that were too hilarious that most doesn't even made sense.

Paying in crypto will not make the project decentralized.
5072  Other / Meta / Re: Community Opinion - Signature Campaigns on: March 28, 2019, 02:24:06 AM
As far as I can remember, there were two Porn-related campaigns that had ran for a few months last year or last 2017.
One was handled by Yahoo (AFAIK).

Based form those, there shouldn't be any issue to the forum, DTs and the signature campaigners as long as the project is legal.
By the way, both were ICO-based startups; that said, the idea of advertising here in bitcointalk made sense.
5073  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Need help, stop TX with my own node. on: March 28, 2019, 01:54:00 AM
You need to quickly "double-spend" the inputs before it get confirmed.
(luckily, the tx fee is too low and it's still unconfirmed)

I don't know the exact way to make a double spend transaction on core but you need it ASAP so try this:
  • Enable "Coin Control" in the setings. (Tick "replace-by-fee" too - might be needed)
  • Select the input used in that particular unconfirmed transaction.
  • Then make a new transaction using it with different address and REALLY high transaction fee like 50sat/b.
This could be inaccurate or wrong.

-Edit-
Or use coinb.in's transaction push and generator to manually create the transaction.
Don't forget to make the transaction fee higher!
You just need to export the address' private key from core.
5074  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: BTCs not found/Electrum/Tails issue on: March 27, 2019, 12:32:21 PM
@HCP He stated that "it connect right away and shows all of my old transactions" in his PC Electrum so it's highly likely that the addresses were the same aside from that particular address which really strange, unless he imported it before (using old Electrum version with import function enabled on HD wallets).

Here's another possibility that I just thought of:
His Tails Electrum wallet got two wallet files and the "missing" address belongs to the second wallet, while the backed-up SEED belongs to the first wallet where his "old transactions" belong.
5075  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: BTCs not found/Electrum/Tails issue on: March 27, 2019, 04:45:45 AM
Great, just make sure that the PC Electrum version was verified and/or came from the official site (electrum.org) and you should be safe.
It's better of that way since it's super weird that your SEED failed to produce that particular address (even "ismine" command resulted in "false").
5076  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum win 7 dont start on: March 27, 2019, 04:29:21 AM
It happened to me back then (after updating from 2.9.3).
In my case, it's the last opened unencrypted wallet file that Electrum was trying to open on start.
It seems like it was corrupted by something after the update.
Luckily, it's not my main wallet and changing the "gui_last_wallet":" and "recently_open" in the config file fixed the issue.

In your case, if it isn't the dependencies, just delete the "config" file from "%appdata%/Electrum" to restore to default setting and select another wallet or create another wallet via restore SEED option.
5077  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: BTCs not found/Electrum/Tails issue on: March 27, 2019, 04:11:56 AM
It's showing Zero transaction because it isn't connected to any server and not synchronized.
You should confirm that the address belongs to Tails Electrum too though.

Have you tried exporting its private key as I said in my post above?
5078  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Need some answers. on: March 27, 2019, 04:01:21 AM
Layman terms again (requested to be moved to Beginners' Board).

In the simplest terms:
  • Mainchain - When forks happen, two or more blockchains will/might be created by different set of nodes, the longest continued chain that has been abiding by the network rules is what is called "the Mainchain".
    Fork(s): Another blockchain(s) that became the result of nodes having different network rules or "settings" that produces different set of blocks, intentionally (fork coins) or accidentally (invalid mined block(s)).
  • Onchain - As stated by HeRetiK, the term is widely used in Lightning Network primarily when stating about regular bitcoin transactions and opening and closing channel transactions.
  • Sidechain - Any other blockchain that isn't related to Bitcoin's blockchain but benefits from it through different methods.
5079  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: BTCs not found/Electrum/Tails issue on: March 26, 2019, 04:16:17 AM
-snip-
Have you imported an address/private key before?
If the Electrum's version was too old, importing private keys to an HD wallet is possible.

But whether yes or no:
I assume that you can still open that outdated wallet, so just Export the private key of that specific address and sweep it to a new wallet.
  • Click "View", then "Show Address"
  • Find the specific address, right click and select private key.
  • Type your passphrase and the Private key should appear (do not share this to anyone)
  • In the new wallet or you main wallet, click "wallet", then "Private key" and select "Sweep"
  • Paste p2pkh:YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY to the text box, select a destination address (double-check if it's in the address list), then sweep.

With a Core2Duo and a GTX460, there are no other options aside from Minergate that stomachgrowls suggested or the one I will recommend you.

But I highly doubt that mining service's...~ service, beside the fact that you'll probably earn cents per day, most of your mining income will just go to the site and your "referree".
But you got no choice, most mining software won't even mine using that GPU.

Or Try to mine Cryptonight coins using this: [CPU][XMR] Monero CPU Miner
The author claimed that it's optimized for SSE4 processors like Core2Duo/Quad with 50% more hashrate.
The code was clean based from the last review but there have been a lot updates happened since then. (I can't vouch for the security).
