ok thanks for clearing that up guys! So, no free Satoshi bitcoins, damn (although I was kindof expecting that  ) It's unthinkable to me, someone intending to steal the bitcoins of Satoshi. That can only be done by changing the rules of mining, to allow the miners to take that number of coins without knowing the private keys. |

Hi,
Still trying to figure out what TF happened to my passphrase. I didn't change it (checked that) and it's been the same for years but sometime between Nov 27 and Dec 5th it stopped accepting the passphrase.
On Dec 5 I found this in the debug -- it never appeared before. Is it possible the the wallet automatically assigned itself a new passphrase??
2017-12-05 13:02:17 Binding RPC on address ::1 port 8332 failed.
2017-12-05 13:02:17 HTTP: creating work queue of depth 16
2017-12-05 13:02:17 No rpcpassword set - using random cookie authentication
2017-12-05 13:02:17 Generated RPC authentication cookie C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\.cookie
Is there any way for me to find out the length of my passphrase? I've tried brute force (btc recover) using the passphrase I know but it's exhausting every possible combination. If I could know the length, it might help me create a more precise tokenlist.
I'm using Bitcoin version v0.14.2 , Win10
Anyone?
Sometimes keyboards can do funky things. Try a different keyboard? Or type the password out and be sure it is what you think is right, then copy and paste it into the form. |

Hello, I have a wallet through bitpay. I also have a bitpay card. I’ve been using this for 6 months or so with no issues. I understand the recent fall off of bitcoin and the transactions clogged or full. Normally if I wanted to move 500usd from the wallet to the card it would be a 6-15 dollar fee. Now it’s wanting 100 or more. That’s just ridiculous. Will this ever go back to normal?? Bitcoin is recovering I see, but the transfers are still expensive. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank a lot in advance
Taking a quick look at the mempool,( the backlog of bitcoin transactions), i really wouldn't say so. https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-sizeThere's still over 100.000 transactions waiting to be confirmed, which are heavily driving up the fees. You could maybe simply wait a little bit, sending it with less priority, or, try to contact a miner which will manually add your transaction into their block (something which accelerators such as https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ do.)

There are forces at work that want bitcoin to become a sort of "Digital gold," which cannot be used for transactions, due to high fees. They are / have destroyed the bitcoin ecosystem. Other coins can move in and fill the gap, but meanwhile payment processors merchants and many users are very, very inconvenienced. I recently did three transactions, read and weep. BTC. 17.01 USD fee BTH. 0.01 USD fee BTG. 0.01 USD fee Or maybe bitcoin simply isn't able to scale due to the massive influx of new users? No. The fees in the market have destroyed the transaction utility of bitcoin directly. Scaling has nothing to do with this. There are at least 3 levels at which fees are being jacked up. 1. Miners, in China mostly. 2. Inefficiency in many wallets not allowing coin control which directly drives fees way, way up 3. Exchange - wallets such as coinbase, jacking fees up over and above (1) and (2). I'm wondering if the Lightning network is effectively dead on arrival. Nobody is going to fund their transactions on Lightning if it costs $20-40 to put $100 into a hub.... Bankers and MC/Visa and PayPal would like to see a big FAIL here, one way or another. You can bet they are working under the tables to affect the course of events. I'm not saying that the concept and algorithm of BTH or BTG or whatever is the perfect solution, and maybe there is a necessary future for BTC as digital gold with high fees. Just wondering where all this is going. |

It looks fishy indeed but what about the talk of distributing Satoshi Nakamoto's bitcoins as incentive? I mean, if the man himself is supporting the split then this is the way to go, no?
He is not supporting this. This is a scam. |

Hi
I hold BTC via an Electrum wallet, held for several years ie before the bitcoin cash(BCH) hard fork
in the process of creating a Bitcoin Core - Wallet to hold the BCH, currently Synchronising
Can you advise the steps to claim the BCH via me existing BTC Electrum wallet and the new Bitcion Core wallet?
Help would be appreciated
Thanks!
I tried that route, but it did not work. Went to Coinomi for the BTH retrieval. Installed a fresh copy of electrum on another computer, moved all the BTC from the old electrum wallet to the new. Then export the private keys (now empty, no risk) and enter into coinomi one by one. |

Hello bitcoiners!  I have had a wallet on my computer a while ago(about 6 months ago) and one day my computer decided to make an update. Something went wrong in that update and I had to reinstall windows. Most of my programs had been saved, but I could not find my wallet information. Making a long story short, I have stumbled across my wallet number and have a few mBTC on it which worth about 150$. The wallet is 1LDNLNYjTJT2nixzc7wqHwpc6aP9nNcYBZ . The problem is I cannot access the wallet as I do not remember which platform I have used. (I think the name of the wallet was something close to electrum wallet) I probably would be able to guess my password as I have changed it from default and made my own. (so I can remember). My question is how do I gain the full access to my wallet with the information that I have? Did you reformat the hd during the reinstallation of windows, or just reinstall the operating system? |

Hi,
What's the best and easiest way to receive bitcoin forks i.e. diamond, silver, etc. on Electrum? Videos or previous posts on "how to"? Thanks
How about just no to receive diamond and silver.Yes to receive gold and cash. |

I have it mounted separately so nothing is going to get written to it since grep is being executed from the boot disk, any temp files or output by grep will be written there.
What about that second part, about the encryption, is it all just unencrypted Berkerely DB prior to 2011? (I do not remember it that way, maybe I am confusing converting it from text to berkerely DB why I thought it was encrypted and mistaken about password encrypted - faulty memory)
Given this situation I also strongly suggest you take two dumps of each drive. Put them in separate storage locations, then put the original drives in a safe. The dump files are much easier and safer to work with. It's entirely possible that you try to retrieve the data, and fail. But a year later, a method occurs to you or is suggested, that is worth a try. Have patience, don't give up, study and learn about data retrieval techniques. |

Remember that those receiving addresses are ALWAYS still good if someone happens to send you coins to one of those addresses again. Electrum will use them once and move to the next one just to help you remain "private". There is no security risk at all to using any address multiple times. Privacy may be impacted if an address gets used repeatedly, but it doesn't mean anyone can get to your coins in any way. That is the logic behind the software!
Thanks! Good explanation! One reason to use an address repeatedly is during testing and verification of a system. This may be developmental, or it may just be you - trying out a new piece of software. Like .... 0.001 btc --> address X,wait until it clears. 0.010 btc --> address X, wait until it clears. 1.000 btc ---> address X, wait until it clears. You get the idea. minimize risk. |

Cracked it! HOLY FUCK!  Don't leave this kind of money on an exchange. Immediately move it to a safe place. That could be Electrum, Mycelium - these are software wallets that don't require you to download and maintain the whole blockchain. Or make paper wallets, or get a Trezor. Exchanges are not safe harbors, even for a short period of time. In fact, it was safe in Core (except that you forgot something) why not move it back to Core except for the 2.5? Lots of options, but you need a high level of continual security. |

|
To lessen mistakes in typing out the public key from the paper wallet, and so also as to not import the address anywhere, there are OCR (optical character recognition) apps available for smartphones than can read and translate the public key into plain text, could be helpful and speedier in this situation.
These apps are a very bad idea, they are not secure. |

Hi Everyone, I have been reading and still hearing horror stories of Canadian banks freezing and closing peoples accounts who deposit money that has come from Cryptocurrency. I was wondering has anyone found a bank that is Cryptocurrency friendly and will not freeze your account if you deposit money that came from Cryptocurrency? Here is an article I found from years ago but I think is still happening. https://globalnews.ca/news/996853/as-bitcoin-surges-canadian-banks-make-converting-to-cash-difficult/I'm concerned because I don't want to start exchanging my Cryptocurrency and all of the sudden the bank freezes all my accounts. I would love to hear if you guys have figured out a way to exchange your Cryptocurrency and deposit into a Canadian bank and keep doing it on a on going bases with no penalties or issues. Thx, Walk into a bank and talk to one of the officers there. Tell them you want to start an account and make deposits into the account only from bitcoin. Be sure to tell them you will be paying taxes from that account. |

You can always install btcrecover and attempt to find the password yourself. It's a free open source project. It all depends on how accurate you are with your information, and how much you know of the password. If you believe there's only a typo or you are missing a few characters then it should be somewhat solvable using different techniques on btcrecover. If you don't know the password and have no idea what it could be then it's going to be close to impossible if the password isn't weak. You can test directly against the wallet.dat file that you have, or if anyone else helps you then you can extract the mkey and give them that to avoid them having access to your wallet if they guess the password. btcrecover: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecoverIt's just that the purse is seven years old and I've forgotten everything, so I'm looking for a professional who can help. I suggest start by loading Core, letting it download and running it. Play with it a bit every day or two for a month or two. You might wake up one morning and remember your password. |

Development does not just include the bitcoin Core group, but a hundred other types of industry, including exchanges, hardware such as Trezor, bitcoin ATM, a hundred different wallets, and a thousand alt coins.

Porn is illegal in my country bit i will.support if it will make bitcoin go to the moon.
If huge imcrease of the demand of bitcoin in porn industry, it will make huge increase im price.
If bitcoin was accepted for porn sites, then girls in places like Venezuela could earn bitcoin. Real money. Because right now the money in that country is worth nothing, and they are starving. Because of government, yeah. I would like to see more bitcoin transactions in and out of countries in serious economic trouble like Venezuela. I don't care if it's porn as one of the industries. |

we are dealing money here. I assume, everyone here is adult. BTC is made for porn ? Drug? arms dealing ? No. It is also true for all cryptos and fiat money also. It is unethical if you use btc to pay for porn. May be some people do, to hide the true identity. But watching porn is a perverted act. Porn causes health hazard as well as social disturbances too
That is a normal need! Do you have to do those things in porn video with your lover? I think at least an adult watched porn video once and we all want to know it for our life. In my country, some program for student included porn video. Because it is needed for them to become the psychologist related to sex matters. The question is not the morality or lack of in use of money for activity YXZ. Rather it is a question whether morality should be built into a currency or not. One might consider MC/Visa currencies with "morality built in." There is no morality built into fiat cash. |

I absolutely 100% did not expect this price action to happen. Reaching $1000 again was excitement enough for me. My mind has been blown. I don't remember many people making predictions this big other than the usual dreamers.
The 1000USD mark was a big deal. But every 1000 after that is a smaller percentage. We can hit 20k on a random bump in the road at this point. After all, it's one hell of a bumpy road. |

It could be a tad confusing for people who have collectible items like physical coins. When people are transferring private keys, they'll have to clarify whether the coins were sent there before the forks or after them.
Calculating the value could get harder if there are a lot more forks with drastically lower prices and volume (like all of the bullshit ones that have been suggested recently).
I wouldn't call it the "value of Bitcoin" though, since the value of BTC itself is still the same.
Unfortunately, it is "the value of Bitcoin." We have to define that by the value of a Bitcoin private key. Bitcoin private keys now are of two types, those which have not had the split values retrieved, and those which have splittable values resident. It is what it is. |
