Do your private keys begin with a '5', 'K', or 'L'?
If it begins with a '5', is the private key 51 characters long?
If it begins with a 'K' or 'L', is the private key 52 character long?
If none of the above, then you don't have a valid private key.
thanks ok now i figured a way around it |

Yes I am fine with that numbers are correct.... its something to do with wif format?  I exported with pywallet |

Hi
I am trying to import a private key, and get this.....
what do I do to fix this.
I dumped the keys with pywallet

yes but given the shear amt of money printing 500k will buy u a coffee by then

Good lord, I will be so relieved when we can finally put all this SegWit / scaling crap behind us.
And here I thought the analysis-paralysis in Corporate America IT was bad, often with endless meeting-upon-meeting discussions and multi years delay in the simplest of move forward decisions....
This SegWit crap has put that to absolute shame.
Brilliant analysis ..... its amazing how something that achieves consensus like BTC caused one of the most bitter and //lyisng fights ever. How much more can you shoot yourself in the foot I mean BTC what threw away 35~40% market share in the process in 4 months. It's hard to think of any other comparable even even in tech. |

I have been surprised by the resilience of btc and alts at recent levels, but now it looks like we are heading down for a little bit.
I think this is good it ameliorates a the size of a bubble and crash later though that will still come.
It does not feel like a bubble going from 1K to 2.5 K in BTC land.
30$ to 250$
and 125$ to $1200$
feels bubblish.
there could be a shake out in august then onto bubble.

I expect that BTC and or ETH will eventually fund satellites to act as a back up (albiet slow).
Then the satellites could be shot down I guess, but then we would fund armed satellites or may 100's of little one from one many launch that just broadcasts blocks and does fairly slow hash for the next block to save power. So that if you do take down the internet they will be the fastest hash on the network.
Think of 100 rasberri pi zero's with solar panels per launch, thought the transmitter would be much harder and power consuming.

Master seed in my will left at the family lawyer.
....whats to stop the lawyer absconding with your sqillions? |

Lets face it HBB (hit by a bus) can happen any time
what is you mechanism or plan to inherent you BTC to your loved ones?
particularly if they are not IT literate.
In my view A person could easily loose your coins in so many ways if you do not understand what you are doing.

people with any significant money would be forced to invest something in crypto or face their buying power in the market tend to zero

Smart move. We're clearly in a strong downward trend and with Ethereum taking over Bitcoin we are sure to see a strong crash soon.
I've been warning people for years that we had to fix Bitcoin before it was too late. Nothing has been fixed and surprise, look what happened, bitcoin is being overrun by superior technologies.
The bitcoin religious will soon feel the pain of ignoring critical flaws that should have been fixed years ago in order to make time and space for hype and greed for fiat. The scheme is collapsing!
Kwack kwack Kwack... the same old song from the biggest scammer. Now that we know you are invested in Ethereum, it makes a lot more sense. You were bad mouthing Bitcoin to promote Ethereum and Ethereum is the biggest scam of all time. Bitcoin had no pre-mine or pre-token sale like Ethereum. Satoshi did not pay anyone from the sale of the pre-mined tokens to develop his platform. Bitcoin is not centrally-controlled by a foundation that got rich from the proceeds of these pre-token sales. It is estimated that Vitalik got the Lion share of these pre-mined coins. WARNING - Users like kwukduck, use this forum to spread FUD about Bitcoin and promotes scams like Ethereum. ^grrrrrrr^ gotta say you sound a little bit fundamentalist...and blinkered |

is Asch a fork off and/or competitor to lisk?

Make that $10000
It's also becoming clear that ETH is not just some bullshit shitcoin that can be brushed aside. Bitcoin maximalists are still in denial.
ithink its prudent to hold equal part eth and BTC..... the august usaf will see something happen ... but I don't care a year down the track it will be all over and sorted one way or another. BTC has one really strong point.....its almost impossible for any one actor to change...... |

Let's leave price aside.
IOTA promises to have found the holy grail - infinite scalability with zero transaction fees.
If that is truly so, then screw just the IoT usage, such a system should replace every imaginable form of value transaction known to humanity.
Unfortunately that is a claim I have seen no evidence to support. A transactional DAG still relies on a global state to ensure double spends can't happen, thus its still vertical in nature even though the architecture promotes horizontal scaling. Ultimately the problem of scale comes into effect when you try and shard it. The structure of the transactions within the DAG is shard-friendly, but the consensus is not. Lets say we shard a DAG into 2, and I present a transaction on the strongest tip on each shard. Unless there is still a node that has both shards, the transactions I presented will validate in each, thus a double spend. The 2 shard example is very simple, but as it scales you'll have less overlap between shards as nodes scale back how many shards they can support, thus the possibility of double spends going undetected increases. Auto-detecting shard availability and overlap is an NP-Complete problem...i.e expensive! Does IOTA have a mechanism to mitigate this? I don't know and for my example I'm talking about a pure DAG implementation. If there is a solution it will likely be a form of master node that witnesses all transactions within the network / batch of shards and alerts on a possible double spend across shards. Not really ideal IMO. The good news is, I researched and implemented similar architectures a number of years ago now and it certainly WILL scale better than a block chain (a lot better), and the lack of a global state won't become a problem for quite some time. IMO though, it's no holy grail, just step forward in the right direction. Questions that arise from it are:
1. What is the mechanism behind such an ingenious discovery?
2. How come nobody came with the idea before (there must have been some bright minds within blockchain technology who understood the scalability and fee problem and never came up with solution)?
3. What prevents other coins from implementing such a revolutionary design?
4. Can other coins with established market caps and track records switch to such a design?
5. Who secures the network if there is no fee-incentive?
1. Not sure what the question is. 2. They have, DAGs have been around for a while, using them in a decentralized transactional nature is fairly recent and so development has taken the time. 3 & 4. Can't be done, they are TOTALLY different architectures. It'd be like trying to install a combustion engine into a horse to make the horse run faster. 5. Thats IOTA specific, so I can't really answer it. From what I can intuit and I may be wrong but the tangles reach a specific usage in a local area that is become impractical to double spend them, then these thangles themselves at the edges are also parts of other tangles, and the whole thing gets sort of stitched together in a mesh of tangles.... What may happen is sort of an unlikely en tropic event and a tangle becomes sort of detached or not sufficently hooked up, but the more people you have using (or things) this becomes infinitesimally small chance |

Just found out that Bill Gates' networth,$86B is the market cap of the top 5 cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, combined!
So well basically Bill Gates can buy all of the current circulating bitcoins, TWICE! I mean obviously he can can't buy as $86B is his net worth not his liquid money, but still, it's a lot. And as you said its just a useless statistic. no. no he could not, he can only push the price up....that's the genius of BTC |

I was that guy... the one that bought 1498ETH during the crowdsale. I invested about $485. I thought I did really good when I sold and cashed out at about $2000.
Skip forward about 1.5yrs... $2000 is nowhere near the $400,000 to $600,000 I could have today. I knew when I bought it, it had the potential to be huge. I even told people it could easily be worth $200,000 or more in a few years. They laughed... I smiled and winked.
Skip a little further forward... got impatient... Sold out way early
I see the QRL's mission as being as big as the Ethereum idea with the potential for a massive gain during Y2Q.
I learned a big lesson from my past mistakes. I'm in Quanta for the long haul.
QRL is very interesting because it will be considered a hedge and a lot of big BTC/ETH etc. holders will have to buy a portion of it as insurance against quantum computers. But the project should not be just about quantum resistance, there is a lot of other things that can be done to make it really unique. hmm maybe but you could fork to a quantum solution with the same distribution, before the quantumn attack |

A site that sums together the addresses that he eth went to in various ICO's may be handy to look at the supply side of eth.
Does anyone know of such a site?

if I recall electrum was ??128 and now is AES-256-CBC,
if so why was this updated, was the prior one considered to weak?
