OK, I don't totally understand that, but your comments educated me a little bit and I appreciate it.  For other coins, I'm not sure there's an option to download an ARM format, but maybe I'll take a look around at some wallet sites and see. 

Technically you don't need to have an arm distribution of the software, if compiling from source, just install the dependencies necessary (which will be in the source code and can be found in the readme normally).

Compiling from source, especially with the low memory of the pi1 and 2 in my experience has just made the compiler give up.. But there are commands you can use to avoid this...

Perhaps, if there aren't any arm builds of the node software, you could open an issue on github to ask for them to compile one, if you can compile for 8086 or 8664, you can compile on arm just as easily unless there's any asm as that needs translating... (arm is better than Intel and amd).

I think nodes might be picked based on ping speeds. That might be where you're less competitive as my computer seems to stick with less than 1 second ping speeds (the fastest is normally about 88ms).

Send me your ip and I can test it on my phone?
5443  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How can I increase the appeal of my node? on: July 07, 2019, 01:16:48 PM
I think the main issue here is that your ip keeps changing. It probably causes more of a problem to connect to it than it does not doing... You might be better off just using it for yourself unless you can get a static IP. Often, public places have multiple IP addresses so thst might be an issue too if you get switched between routers (as most use systems to switch from one router to another when one is busy).

Haha, you need to delete two posts as you're on 1339 now. I didn't notice when I was leet before someone pointed it out...

Are you expecting multiples of leet or a number system involving leet?

As in 3leet+370?

It might be something to bring up with smf but I'm curious as to what's in the new forum software too...

If you don't like people on dt. You're encouraged to use your own list anyway so go ahead and make one of those... I have a list with a limited number of people on it I can actually trust...

Who are these dt members thst are influenced to not give negative rep when they're paid also? Maybe you should show examples of these so enough people can exclude these people. I don't think systems have ever been made without exploits and flaws and one probably won't ever.

Most hardware storage drives are often made a bit poorly sometimes.
Essentially, the good data companies went out of business because they did to we and people stopped buying from them because usb sticks lasted so long... I'd suggest usb sticks are probably best but you can get sd cards in bulk more easily (go with Kingston or Toshiba unless you know of a better company, don't look for the cheapest)...




If you have a phone from many years ago that dosnt even have a GPS antenna then it probably doesnt have anything that can be used to communicate with it... Its hard to work this out though. If you're still particularly worried, you could get something like a raspberry pi and a monitor that will stay offline (the models 1 and 2 don't even have inbuilt WiFi chips).



Yeah as soon as you import a paper wallet, by design it should be considered as compromised if the computer is online.

And yes that's how paper wallet storage should be done. I'd suggest printing a qr code too and printing a couple of copies. The computer it is generated on and the printer it is printed out one shouldn't touch the internet again though...

Just move the coins off of a wallet made on the phone?

And what if I need those addresses in the wallet I use in my current smartphone? Then I'll need to do anything to save it from being hacked, right? I can't stop using that wallet as it contains most of the addresses that verify me (e.g.: my profile BTC address) basically for my identity.


I kinda covered that further down with what you need to do to keep the keys secure - wipe the phone and then fill it with dummy data (bitcoins logo maybe haha, you could make a single image file huge)...

I'd advise signing a new key here and wait a while before selling it (if possible).

Typically, someone can only steal money from once before you work it out and stop using that address.


what's an emi?

I closed the channel with force. So now it goes back to the address it was sent from? Thanks guys!!

It goes back to an address in your wallet. Its not the same address...
5450  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Paper wallets best practices on: July 06, 2019, 05:13:59 PM

Actually, I totally agree with your main idea. But it doesn't sound wise for me to save all the information on a $ 100 device. I guess you didn't follow the latest developments about Electrum wallets. Unfortunately, there are many problems with the Electrum wallet. I have doubts about trusting such devices and apps.

In fact the best option might be the paper wallet. As you said, taking extra security measures for those who have invested a significant amount.

I've had no issues with electrum? The issues were people that fall for phishing scams.... There were connectivity issues but if you're not in a rush to spend, it doesn't matter and if you are you can put your signed transaction into the network with online tools.

There was a json rpc injection thing also which wasn't as bad as I thought and you could get past that with merely a password which you should use anyway.

None of these issues (other than connectivity ones) have faced android electrum as it doesn't show errors anyway in detail...



An sd card can withstand more than paper can...

You have to generate the paper wallet somewhere unless you use dice throws and do it purely mathematical.
5451  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Help moving BTC out of a LN channel through the eclair app needed on: July 06, 2019, 12:58:12 PM
Afaik, there's two types of closure: voluntary and forceful - forceful ones take longer and its where the other node doesn't comply with the closure or doesn't respond. Usually funds get stuck for 48 hours and then come back to you.

Do as loyce suggests, I've done it before.
5452  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Paper wallets best practices on: July 06, 2019, 12:57:26 AM
I actually wouldn't use a paper wallet. I'd get a small USB stick and create a text file. Then add the private keys to the text file and put the text file on the USB stick.

Throw the USB stick in the safest place you can imagine and you've got yourself secure holding.

USB sticks aren't very reliable, especially for repeated use.

If you must use them, I'd suggest at least 5 USB sticks and you can normally get small ones in packs of 20...



Hard drives also demagnetise themselves after 3 years (or begin to) if you don't rewrite the entire data.
5453  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Paper wallets best practices on: July 06, 2019, 12:07:05 AM
So an air-gapped computer+printer is best, and then protect the paper + computer from access and fire/water etc. No special stuff beyond that?

I ask because I want to store some keys that don't use BIP39/HD seeds to generate them.

You could probably do with coming up with something seedlike for the private keys in case you have a misspelling. Alternatively, you could write down the seed in a number base with few overlaps (base 8 or 10 might be good ideas). And make a checksum at the end just in case you mess it up...

As said, you can also use a bip38 password for enhanced security.

I get "no results" when I search bitcoin or electrum? Have I broken something or is anyone else getting this?


Edit: it works on Web but normt mobile, it'll robavku fix itself.


There's ab core but that's not bitcoin core it's a translator for it also if you want to run core from your phone...
5455  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Paper wallets best practices on: July 05, 2019, 07:13:07 PM
The best practices for paper wallets IMO would be:
1. Put the paper in a fireproof safe if your bitcoins are worth enough for them to be protected (this can also be helpful for dumping the airgapped laptop also so no one tries to check their social media through it)...
2. Air gapped computers are extremely secure on their own (with a password) and are probably better than a paper wallet. But if you're wanting to use a paper wallet (i.e to not put all your eggs in one basket) then air gapping the computer and the printer is the best option.
If you can avoid printing entirely, then try writing out the address or using a QR code (you should encrypt the information you are printing anyway).
A better alternative to writing down your key or printing it off is to use some software like electrum which generates seeds for you to use and these are 12-24 words depending on the security you are after and are much easier to write down and store as you don't have to question "if that's a 5 or an S?".
3. Try finding a way to verify that what you have downloaded to make a seed has given you an accurate address and private keys by putting it into two devices not connected to the internet (or the same device with different operating systems).


Some alternatives to paper wallets:
1. Buy a cheap android phone/tablet for a maximum of $100 (preferably an old one that's still sold) and install electrum on it. Then take it completely offline and put it in a safe and secure place.
2. If you can go a bit higher, you can buy a phone and a trezor (or another hardware wallet) and try using that to store your funds (or use the hardware with a computer instead of a phone, this can also be done in an airgapped way once all firmware is installed).

Do they usually delete these replies and nuke the users?

It's the same stance as the "great project" spam. They just get deleted, not sure about nuking though, it might not have much of an impact anyway, as people might just come back with a new account...
5457  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: WTS my smartphone but I've got crypto in it. HELP! on: July 05, 2019, 08:00:43 AM
Just move the coins off of a wallet made on the phone?

If your wallet was protected by a pin or password then you might be alright just with that. However it's safer just to move the coins.
They will be able to get your data afaik, the only way to prevent that is to either pull out the sd card and wipe it on a computer or factory reset the phone and completely fill the phone to the nearest mb or even kb...
5458  Other / Meta / Re: newbie topic starter on: July 04, 2019, 03:08:41 PM
you can report shitposts to the moderators and they'll usually take care of them.

If you notice the person that keeps posting on the thread and it's just one person then you can probably report them for it.

There are a lot of people here who have alts to make threads because they don't want to be embarrased by what they've done or the questions they're asking - I assume a long standing member here was probably a victim of the electrum hack for example...



I think jet cash got accused of writing in the same thread using three of his alts (that were publicly known) but for some reason people couldn't keep up...
5459  Economy / Services / Re: Hi im crypto day trader I have trading history to show on: July 04, 2019, 02:16:10 PM
We could probably see an increase to 12300 in a few hours, 14k seems unlikely but it might spark more rallies.

Yesterday looked like it wss going to just keep going since it went up $1k in what seemed like a short amount of time.
