561  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Backing up Wallet.dat and Blockchain? on: August 24, 2015, 02:59:39 PM
I opened my wallet just now to keep the wallet currently synched and the wallet address was different and my BTC was gone. I went to my backup Wallet.dat and replaced it with the one that was in the roaming file and now my BTC is back.

What is going on with this?  How can i possibly trust this thing with any amount of BTC when it just replaces my wallet.dat ??

Any explanation for this?

That is a very cool watch there, I love the quality they put into all of the old hand-made products back in the day. It's not for me, because I'm not really into watches or have the extra money to drop, but perhaps a watch guy will want to snag this. Perhaps the users 'BobSurplus' or 'GraysRolex' would be interested in purchasing it.

I will say though that the eBay listing you linked isn't really comparable with yours, as the eBay Hamilton watch was originally sold for almost 4 times the cost of yours ($160 vs. $46) and is made out of solid 14K white gold. Nevertheless, you still have a pretty sweet watch there man.
Hey Thanks!  Yeah mine seems to fall in the Mid grade level I've seen some of the Lower priced models sell for $100.-200. Range that's why i went midway the price. The quality of products back then was amazing...to get the same Quality nowadays you are talking Rolex or Similar High Ends.

Daily bump and adding additional information on this.

In the pictures those swirl marks seem horrible but it's the lighting and crappy camera I also wanted to post a reference to another watch similar to mine that sold on Ebay for best offer. This watch is a slightly better version but because it has the box with matching paperwork it commands a better price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-23j-Hamilton-Pocket-Watch-14k-White-Gold-Case-c-920-in-original-box-1922-/221844561501?hash=item33a6f75e5d&nma=true&si=5%252B9FVIo1LC2YU%252Fm72f1L6zee344%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I would be willing to take additional photos for any potential buyers and Price is negotiable.

Yes, you can make a back up of the block chain data and use that copy if you have problems.

I would solve the corruption problems if I were you though.


Thanks for the info.  I have lost several wallets because of corrupt files or had to reformat my comp because it's a piece of shit and microsoft sucks. Lost plenty of Alt coins and such on my last Reformat. I had an old copy of my original wallet so just for kicks i tried it out and for some reason it was showing thousands of transactions both sending and receiving literally thousands of BTC and every transaction said Conflict. Needless to say i don't have them lol so i scrapped it and just reinstalled 0.11.0 if the core vere fails me again and i can't use the backup Wallet and blockchain i will never use Core again. My daughter i think is the culprit for that she studies Computer Science and Dabbled with that wallet.

Why o Why have the Devs never come up with a better solution to the Huge Blockchain D/l B/S is beyond me......Think of a new user first installing the core wallet and after a weeks NON stop it's still not finished. there should be a trusted Zip file with Blocks up to at least 1 year ago or less to speed up the process.

There should be a Concrete Chain point/block up to a certain date that would be considered trusted and embedded to avoid all this B/s I understand the Blockchain is for verification but c'mon Blocks from 2009-2013/14 Should be a concrete Zip form.
566  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Backing up Wallet.dat and Blockchain? on: August 24, 2015, 01:18:34 AM
Ok so i have had so many problems with the core wallet in the past and have had to Re-D/L the whole damn thing over and over again due to Corrupted files Reformatting my comp etc.

So we Backup our Wallet.dat file can i backup the Blocks folder in the roaming and perhaps save Days and weeks of bullshit if my file gets corrupted again?

Also besides the wallet.dat and Block folder can i backup the Chainstate folder or does that even matter?

I'm just looking to avoid the inevitable B/S with the core D/l again.

any help? Thanks!

571  Other / Meta / Re: What are the new rules for posting? on: August 22, 2015, 12:41:17 AM
With the recent removal of the "Gold Collapsing. Bitcoin UP" thread [my favourite thread to chat in], I've become unsure what the rules are for posting here at this forum.  In particular:

1.  Are we allowed to talk about non Bitcoin Core implementations of the protocol?

2.  Are we allowed to discuss proposals that, if adopted by >50% of the hash power, would result in a hard fork?

3.  Are we allowed to criticize the moderators?

4.  Can I post /u/raisethelimit's lasted comic?  [lol it involves a CONSENS-A-TRONTM]

#3 I have openly Wrongly <---(Keyword) criticized the Mods including theymos and Badbear ......I wouldn't suggest it though.  Bear gets grumpy like being Woken out of hibernation and theymos doesn't respond when criticized he just sits silent...I think the silence is more threatening to me than a response. You don't know what to expect.

I would just be cool and don't go off the deep end and get banned like i did for Mouthing off. The Mods can be strict sometimes but you have to see their point of view....someone has to keep order around here.

I had sent 26 grams of 14k gold scrap Jewelry to Cashforgoldusa....Dot Com  ( I didn't want to put the link to the site on here) Anyways   26 Grams of gold which is almost an Ounce.....14K gold is almost 54% solid gold so even at 54% X current price of gold about $1200 = about $600

so today i get the check in the mail...Open it up........$48.26!   What the holy fuck is this?!?!? I Emailed those Cocksuckers 10 seconds after i opened the check.

According to their Website if you're not happy with the payment return the check within 14 days and they will ship your gold back to you free of charge. I opened the check at 1:52 P.M. and it was in the mail back to them at 2:00 P.M.  I will update what happens.  These fuckers are located in Sharon Massachusetts just a Drive from me in the same State......If they Don't send my Gold back i guess i'll be going to Sharon for a Visit.

Never Ever use an online site claiming they buy Gold and Silver......I thought these Local guys were Bad Holy Shit! this website makes the local guys look Great!

574  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: 0.11.0 wallet. Stupid Question where is my Address? on: August 20, 2015, 12:11:00 PM
Thanks i guess i'll just keep hitting that button until i see an Addy i like lol. might take a while.

Bitcoin Core isn't generally intended to have a single address.  It is designed with the idea that the user should generate a new address for every transaction.

Therefore ,whenever you need an address, you just hit the request payment and get a new address for that transaction.

The software takes care of keeping track of all your addresses for you and managing all the bitcoins you've received regardless of which address they arrived on.

thanks!   Is there any way to speed up the D/L of the Block chain? I've been D/l'ing it for the past 2 days and i still have 34 Weeks left.

It shows   Number of Connections : 8 (In: 0 / Out: Cool   but the blocks are coming at a crawl. Last wallet i d/l  I think was a bit faster.

Latest version which is 0.11.0 should have faster downloading for the blockchain , all you can do right now is to wait and see . there is no need to download the Bootstrap.dat file on torrent now since it's faster as far as I know . so just wait (hove mouse on the ProgressBar to see the blocks are moving or not )
They are moving but slooooooooow.  It will jump like 10 blocks then after 5 minutes maybe another 5-10 and so on.

I'm at 335489 block

found something disturbing while browsing.


source: Shanghaiist.com

The first rainfall to wash over Tianjin since a series of blasts struck a warehouse in the Binhai district last week has sparked a new wave of concern as an unidentified white foam has appeared on the streets. Some who made contact with it are reporting a burning sensation on their face and lips, while others are reporting a stinging sensation on their arms. Some have said they experienced an itchy sensation, according to a NetEase News report.

China has been the most damaged environment while becoming good economy development country in other side. Seems China has sacrificed its environment to gain profit.
The contamination effects will be seen for next few generations. What will China do when the entire country is just a wasteland? Seems they are sacrificing such a Beautiful country to make money regardless of the Effects.
