Please, stop. Stop posting when you don't know what you are talking about. Stop posting information as a fact; 99% of the time it isn't a fact but rather just what you think is happening.

Installing what? There is nothing being installed. This is how a lot of software works when data is being persisted, it will create files on the fly and write to them. Nothing is being installed here.

What does that have to do with anything? Bitcoin Core isn't downloading files from other clients. It is downloading raw data and writing that raw data to the disk.

What are you talking about? What does that have to do with anything with downloading blocks from other nodes?

The admins have offered IP evidence in the form of "yes the IPs are the same" or "no they are different". They don't actually give the IPs. Also, a lot of VPN and Tor IPs are known so they can say whether the IP is likely to be hidden or not.

You do not have to modify Bitcoin Core. You can use Bitcoin Core to give you information about transactions as they arrive and then you store that yourself in another database. There are some open source block explorers available that work with Bitcoin Core. Off the top of my head, you can look up Insight and Bitcoin Abe. Just google around for it.

Without rescanning it won't know about any transactions related to that address. You will have to rescan in order to get any information about it.

Yes, that is because it must go through the entire blockchain and scan every single transaction to see which transactions create outputs to the address and spend from those outputs, if any.

Because blockchain.info is not just relying on a bitcoind. Rather they have at least one set up as a node, but they also have other software and an external database. This allows them to receive the transactions and write them to their large external database so that they can retrieve the information quickly. Bitcoind is not designed to do that because it is completely unnecessary. It is not supposed as a block explorer.

Is this your address? Is the address in your wallet?

If it is not, then that command will not work. Bitcoin Core does not track all addresses, the overhead is too much and that is not what Bitcoin Core is meant to do.

From the seclog:

It is hard to say whether he has been hacked. However, we can ask the admins to check the IPs and see if they are different.


If he wants his account back, he will have to sign a message with the following addresses:

OpenSSL isn't used for client communication. At this point it is only used for the PRNG and maybe something else. It is mostly being phased out.

Bitcoin Core uses 1.0.1k

Any block that is valid for the normal diff will be valid for the low diff. Because the hashes are random, someone will eventually hit a valid block.

You can receive regardless of your sync state. However, if you want to be able to see and spend the Bitcoin, you will need to be synced. You can enable pruning so that the blockchain doesn't take up as much space.

Run just bitcoind. Post the full debug.log from it.

Are you sure that your dependencies are the correct versions?

What OS?

How much RAM do you have? I think you may just be running out of memory.

Someone is claiming that he owns the account MatTheCat and that it was hacked: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1623701.0 That account is also currently banned.

You are currently banned. There is an open scam accusation against you: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1622279.0

Edit: Did you try resetting your password using the security question? (If you didn't DON't TRY IT).

Bitcoin limit? You mean when all Bitcoin's have been mined? In that case, miners will be making money off of transaction fees. The transaction fees of all transactions in a block goes to the miner.

What the hell is that supposed to do? The data is not cached, we have already established that. Furthermore, you can't generate a private key from the address. That is not how bitaddress.org works either.

No. The private key is never passed to any server. It is all handled client side in javascript. If it were passed to the server through something like the URL, the site would no longer be used, people would tell everyone to avoid that site due to the lack of security.

Do us all a favor and not post when you don't know what you are talking about.

Read the FAQ:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0#post_faq. The answer is in there.

It depends on your computer's language. Default is english, if your computer's language is chinese, japanese, portuguese and spanish, then it will be in one of those languages.

Also, read my edited post for the math.

You didn't read the post, did you? The search space is massive, in fact much more so than a 12 character password. Read the post and look at the math.

Electrum's mnemonic is similar to BIP39 but not the same. AFAIK, Electrum actually uses 13 words. That means that there are 11,150,372,599,265,311,570,767,859,136,324,180,752,990,208 possible combinations. Furthermore, there are 5 languages, so if you don't know the language, there are 55,751,862,996,326,557,853,839,295,681,620,903,764,951,040 possible combinations. Because the seed is random, there is no pattern, so the only way to get the seed is through brute force. Even if you were able to guess 50 Million seeds per second, it would still take 1.3274253094363466155676022781338310420226438095238095... × 10^31 years to go through the search space.

Interesting. Find the bitcoin.conf file if it exists. It should be in ~/.bitcoin if you didn't change the defaults. Make sure that there isn't something like
in there.
