Bought Bitcoin in the year 2009, doesn't seem right.

So what the time stamps, could that mean that he once was mining it and didnt even realise it? or running a node?
I will ask him about the Liberty Exchange and see if that sparks his memory. Thanks for that!
Here's to rephrase the answer: Your given debug log in the OP only consists of information regarding full nodes, nothing on wallets or whatsoever.
It was used by the client, though.

I have a friend who bought bitcoin in 2009 but cant remember much at all.
On his laptop there is a bitcoin folder but it is dated 2018 for when the wallet.dat was created which leads me to believe that it was made this year.
The datestamp 2018 indicates that something inside that folder was overwritten/added on the displayed date.
In your case, that was the time when you've overwritten the original wallet.dat inside that data directory.

If you still got a backup of the directory, there's still a chance to check if the wallet has bitcoins in it.
Otherwise, stop using the client until you can get a data-recovery software to recover the old (overwritten) wallet.dat to increase the chance of data recovery success (talking about the file, not the coins in it).

I think that this is some kind of a test, the sender must have tried to see if there is someone out there who's bruteforcing simple formats.
And now currently monitoring these addresses.

There's one thing for sure.
No one will actually solve them for a small change (584sat/address).
5343  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Easy Electrum Wallet Question on: September 28, 2018, 02:53:53 AM
Looks like I got it to work by importing the private key to android.  Does that sound correct?

Each addresses' private keys?
If so, the newly generated addresses will not be included in your Android Electrum.

Or the Master Public key?
This will create a "watch only" wallet instead.

You need the Master Private key to accomplish your intended result.

Jut a small request: Make sure to add an option in the profile page to disable/enable the badge.
In most cases, users don't want to display their reporting status to the public. Yeah, "most cases" or it's just me.

I'll try to submit a badge since I currently have a small window on my schedule.

If anyone here is mining Binarium, here is a nice video on what the Binarium team is working on!
-snip-
Thanks for the suggestion but this is a X11 coin, as described on the announcement thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3894620.0

I've created this thread as a resource for CryptoNight coins only.
I'm pretty sure that he's just blurt-mentioning that coin like he did in every Mining altcoin and Altcoin discussion threads.
Seriously, he's suggesting it to the members without even knowing its POW algorithm.

Based in this.
5346  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: 1 second block time - what will happen ? Pros/Cons on: September 22, 2018, 06:38:58 AM
The "block time" which can be adjusted by tweaking the target difficulty isn't all based from the target constant supply and the maximum coins limit like you presented.
It's more of a security feature, adjusting it to 1 sec average is purely filled with disadvantages.

One advantage though: Seconds to instant transaction propagation in exchange for...
Disadvantages: ronochigo's reply (more chain splits which will cause chaos to the market) and also for POS coins
Nodes will have to dedicate more storage space not because of the number of blocks per hour but because of more blocks without a transaction.

There's a small drawback on using VPN to access BCT though.
If the IP Address was used by a banned user or currently being used by a "rule offender", if you're using it (especially newbies) there would be consequences.

Also, it will be troublesome to register using an "evil IP" too (mostly from VPNs). You will have to pay some Satoshis in order to complete the registration.

guys, do you ever see the withdraw function on mining app? ...i have tried it on my s8 and i just cant find it Wink
It will be automatically transferred to the Electroneum wallet of the same account after a week or two (Maximum of 14 days).
You guys should read their wiki for more information and answers to simple questions like this.

5349  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ETN mobile mining. on: September 20, 2018, 07:11:11 AM
This will either burn mobile phones' processor and LCD screen after 24 hours of 80-100%CPU/GPU load

or it will take forever to reach the minimum payout balance due to the low typical hashrate.
That's a great reason why they've chosen the "simulation" gimmick.

One step closer to real mining but totally unreasonable.

That said, I have 2 androids mining in 24/7.
(lol) if ETN finds out, your accounts will be suspended.
Didn't you agreed to this: Mobile Miner - Mining from more than one device

Even using two accounts, one on each devices, it's still against the terms and conditions.
You're better of not bragging that.
5350  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum multisig 2of2 on separate machines and both offline(cold storage) on: September 20, 2018, 04:56:22 AM
Test1 should be the correct way to sign 2-2 multisig address transactions.

However, Test2 showed that you've created a 2-2 wallet with 1 grayed-out signature slider.
Transactions will require any of the two cosigner's signature, as displayed here:


A normal 2-2 signature should be created with this setting:


It's (the images are) pretty self-explanatory.

My first day of mining when I received my Z9mini on 6th Sept was 0.08802152 ZEC
-snip-
WAKE UP!! NO MORE PROFITABLE MINER NOW!!!  Angry Angry Angry
And you started on September 6...
The video was uploaded on the last week of August but it indicated "ROI'd in 8 months", means that there were already thousands of Z9 ASICs mining Zencoins and others 8 months before that video.
bait.  Roll Eyes
Nope, it's "clickbait".
Not to encourage Antminer Z9 sales, but for youtube views Smiley
The bad thing is, some users got the confidence to buy Z9s even if its too late because of this post,
and it's 90% their fault for not researching (not VoskCoin's).
5352  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Transferred BTC from CoinbasePro to Electrum SegWit Wallet - Questions on: September 19, 2018, 03:46:17 AM
Yes, I did give them a valid address.
You said that coinbase gave you the transaction ID but blockexplorers didn't recognized it, right.
Then the problem is purely on their side.

And here's a bad news: there has been few fake coinbase urls (ex. coinnbase) that's spreading in the internet.
Double-check the url where you've bought the bitcoins.

I'm currently on mobile. I will edit the thread later.

Done, I just quoted your reply and added a short introduction/information before it.

Newbies and some high ranking members always need to be reminded to lock their topics after their questions/queries were answered... so
It would probably be best if this thread was included in the list: [Guide] Lock Thread(s) After Getting Enough Replies.
By yours truly.
5355  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum gives me a seed and then won't accept it on: September 18, 2018, 07:17:03 AM
This might be the cause of it:

(I'm on my third crossed out seed now, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated).

The SEED that you have to put in the very first "confirm seed" text box is the newly created seed, not the other cosigners' seeds.
Next button will always gray-out even when you entered a valid seed, it needs the correct same seed as displayed in the previous page.

Huh it works today.
You must be drunk last night Grin
5356  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Are Blocks in blockchain are indexed ? on: September 18, 2018, 06:30:03 AM
-snip-
By saying "indexed" was it meant like index in books and file storage systems?
Then, by comparing the speed between (ex. not indexed Window Explorer) and Bitcoin's Blockchain, this question pops in to your mind?

Clients have a blockchain_headers which contains something similar (for indexing) that enables it to easily find the transaction hashes which have the accurate "links" to where the UTXOs are stored:
Code:
"inputs": [
        {
            "addresses": [
                "39EK***********************"
            ],
            "age": 513486,
            "output_index": 82,
            "output_value": 10000,
            "prev_hash": "24dc16f626085e7c75e6fbdbd2533f27d98d884fe73f58fed46a3e319157****",
            "script": "160014d0ef607e4dc338d4dd67df92e2090b770a781***",
            "script_type": "pay-to-script-hash",
            "sequence": 4294967293,
            "witness":
  • prev_hash: the previous transaction where it belongs.
  • output_index: where it sits between all of the other outputs of the particular transaction.

File explorers and Blockchain works differently, this is just "in-relation".
5357  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Good practice or security theatre on: September 18, 2018, 04:00:58 AM
Electrum doesn't need to connect to the internet in order to create SEEDs.
Just directly create a new wallet on an offline computer with a newly installed OS, never plug it on the internet.

More extra steps can be considered paranoia.
5358  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: GEOCACHE AFRICA 2018 .1BTC is yours for the taking on: September 17, 2018, 07:21:36 AM
Iceland > Namibia > ?
Maybe here on Southeast/East Asia where people are more active on the internet than IRL (true story).
If it's somewhere in Japan, Korea, Philippines or Singapore, it will only take weeks for the parcel to be picked up.

You just have to rethink of a new "clue game", the previous were answered in seconds using google image search.

The problem with the current one are: it wasn't advertised well enough to the locals to cause a "buzz"; the language barrier (3.4% English speakers) or at least translate this thread to their local language; and lastly, there are only few Africans here in the forum.
5359  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Funds sent to previous address on: September 17, 2018, 05:47:00 AM
That shouldn't be a problem, technically. But regarding FTC, that might cause an issue.

On Electrum:
Any old addresses were stored (more accurately: pre-generated) in your wallet and the funds should be received without any problem as long as the transaction went through.
You can also check all of the available addresses by showing the address tab: 'View->Address Tab'.

RIP LBC, RIP vanitygen  Grin
Vanitygen's main purpose if for creating personalized address, not to bruteforce private keys.

But I second this: RIP LBC 'after 104 more addresses'.
It's been dead for a long time though, there are only few users left who's actually "adding" a share (for the Puzzle).
Most are just brought there by curiosity and false hope.
