No problem. Rassah will straighten it out. Sorry for the slight mix-up, gsan. You're in for 1 BTC for the current wallet, and 9 BTC will be moved to another wallet, of which 1 BTC at a time will be deducted from it to fund the future 9 pools. All this will be document.
Each new drive will utilize the same vanity address. It will just start from 0 BTC after the funds have been transferred.
~Bruno~
Done. Just, please remember guys, I'm not a bank. I have set aside a Linux system just to run the wallet, and keep backups of all addresses and private keys I use, plus sent copies of those keys to all relevant people, but I don't consider myself "secure" the way a financial company or a bank (or an exchange) would be. I am willing to run some private accounts for people, but please don't go overboard. |

Not really. Just means I have to do my walleting the way I used to before v0.4 came out, encrypting every wallet file and only using it when I need to.

That's a bold statement. To the day that I die, I will walk the way of justice. People in a weak position, being exploited by someone else, I feel with these people. And any scammer and fraudster, no matter the level of their crimes deserves not to be spoken highly of.
Translation - People are weak and stupid. I know better than them. It is my job to protect weak stupid people from themselves and from those who may exploit them. |

That protects you if your computer is stolen. It does not protect you against wallet stealer trojans or viruses for the same reason that the wallet tools do work: the key is always stored in memory and Windows will decrypt it on the fly whenever any program wants to access it.
You should either decrypt your wallet when you want to use the tools, or store your wallet in an encrypted container (TrueCrypt, FreeOTFE, Bitlocker with a USB drive) that you only unlock when you use it.
Thanks, that makes sense. Sadly, I have not found a way to decrypt the wallet file after the Bitcoin software encrypts it. At most there is a temporary unlock function through bitcoind, but that still keeps the wallet in an encrypted format |

How secure or insecure is it to, instead of encrypting the wallet using Bitcoin the app, in Windows 7 right-click on the wallet.dat file, chose properties > advanced > encrypt, and let windows keep it always encrypted? I am assuming this will keep the wallet file encrypted and will protect it if it is stolen, but does anyone know if the built-in encryption has some security vulnerabilities I'm not aware of?
Reason I ask is because once you encrypt the walet file using Bitcoin, most of the wallet tools don't work any more, just corrupting the file instead.
Thanks

Found the problem. PEBKAC lack of patience error  Just had to wait for the thing to fully launch before it would respond EDIT: Never mind. Even unlocking the wallet doesn't help. pywallet corrpts the walet.dat file when I try to import keys regardless of whether it's unlocked or not. Sucks I can't encrypt my wallet due to this. (keeping the entire folder encrypted using Windows though) |

It doesn't matter if its "poster boy" was a baby eating atheist vampire named Adolph Manson Gacy (no relation to any living person). It's only money. Money only needs value and liquidity.
Hey! As a baby eating atheist vampire I resent being compared to bad people! Well... I eat animal babies, am an atheist, and am a count... But that's close enough! |

Only major question: where will money come from? Teleworking? Fishing? Harvesting and recycling floating garbage? Rich investor types only? (buying up lots of Bitcoin and making money on skyrocketing deflation?)
Obviously you didn't read the thread. Money comes from selling infrastructure services to some yacht owners on the move, many of whom are pensioners trying to save living money while seeing the world in retirement; among other sources. Sorry, I was thinking more ahead as a means for people to permanently exist as part of this flotilla, not as just a business venture for a "mother ship" |

Talk about inhospitable. How do you explain New Jersey? It also might as well be the moon.
New Jersey can be forgiven for producing such rough and tumble individuals as Jon Stewart. All we ever got from the moon is some rocks and dim light (and werewolves). |

You are paying to be on the tiny show of an ostracized pedophile and convicted fraudster?
Welcome to the big league.

Wow, every week the community comes up with some new way to implement or use the technology for more Sci-Fi type things, and seemingly pushes us closer and close to the world of Snowcrash.
Some thoughts:
In another discussion, some people were complaining about lack of government leading to ownership of nukes. I think this idea would be greatly helped by private ownership of such, if not for a privately owned nuclear generator like those on military ships, at least as a source of heat to quickly boil, evaporate, and desalinate sea water. So, another good use for privately owned nukes, but sadly too illegal.
Regarding storing things like meat, why not salt and dry it? Plenty of salt and sunny wind around, usually. Is there a reason that isn't done often on ships? Requires too much drinking water to wash down maybe?
If this is a flotilla community similar to occupy movements, are these boats stable enough to set up stationary bikes hooked up to generators, like they had at the NY protest? It's not much power, but it will keep your electronics charged.
If such a flotilla does happen, do you think there would be much use in "mining" the great garbage patch in the Pacific for raw materials, burnable fuels, or whatever?
As for sat phones, yeah, cheapest option would be to just get satellite broadband for $40 to $60 a month, share over wifi, and use VOIP.
Only major question: where will money come from? Teleworking? Fishing? Harvesting and recycling floating garbage? Rich investor types only? (buying up lots of Bitcoin and making money on skyrocketing deflation?)

As a Ukrainian, it's not "the Ukraine" any more than America is "the America"
I don't know why people started calling it that, but people of that nation find it weird and slightly degrading.
Also, totally agree about their comparatively shitty quality of medicine, life, crime, corruption etc.

I like the tracking system. Thanks Rassah - that looks like a lot of hard work. It instills confidence in the project. Those vacillating over a possible donation can now easily accept the project as tangible/genuine.
Thanks for the compliments. The main reason I did that, really, was because of my financial OCD. I like to track every penny of the money I am working with (including my own), and feel way more comfortable when I can reconcile everything and see where it cae from and where it went. Having this up there will hopefully help people feel more comfortable about me being honest, too, since they can see where everything came from and where it went, and should be able t catch anything funny should it happen. |

Judging by the following tool in the contrib directory, the command is: bitcoind walletpassphrase [passphrase] [time in minutes] Good luck! Ok, n00b question. I'm getting a error: couldn't connect to server
Running on Win7, not launching as Admin, but bitcoind given all access through firewall. It runs fine if I run bitcoind by itself without any parameters. I guess I need to know how to send it RPC commands after I launch it, or something. Please help |

Phewh! The account rec is done http://bit.ly/sgUtZoThat took WAY longer than I cared it to. Some issues btw: * stick_theman is on there twice * RaggedMonk's donation never cleared. I suspect it was sent to archive.org directly * There are some donations I can't link to anyone, down below in Unknown part. I suspect some of those are Bruno's. * gsan's donation of 10BTC, should I keep track of it separately, and only have him donate 1BTC per charity? Feel free to check the transactions to see if they are correctly matched up to your addresses. If you wish that info removed, let me know as well. |

The error is somewhere before #69 because that is BitcoinPorn's spot. We don't want him busting a nut. That'll be one hell of a mess to clean up. Otherwise, the spreadsheet looks swell. That took some time, with more time still at hand. My list was easy because I updated as I went along, and that still proved somewhat challenging. Need you get my PM is regards to that other 99 BTC wallet? ~Bruno~ I'll move people around once I'm done adding everyone. right now I'm actually reconciling pledges to the wallet balance to make sure everything is there and can be traced to the public ledger. I did get the PM, ad from the guy, too. I need instructions on how to unlock an encrypted wallet.dat file temporarily, so I can import another address. |

For everyone's reference, and to make sure everything is well tracked and public http://bit.ly/sgUtZo(still working on this) |

Is there a command line option to unlock an encrypted wallet.dat file to allow importing of private keys?

I got oclvanitygen running on my miner just for fun.
Fibonachi: 11235813yoNV9F45KjwRiBYnYFufMunTj8
I was originally going to try for 1123581321, but that would take a few years with just one of my graphics cards trying it. I'd rather make coins with that much time.
I would still love an easy way to import these keys besides with strongcoin. I don't think pywallet supports the encrypted wallet format yet.
It doesn't, but you can create a new unencrypted one, import your address, and move all your money out of the encrypted one, before encrypting the new one. Don't know if there is a way to extract keys out of encrypted wallets though :/ or you could use the comandline options and unlock your wallet for 10-15 minutes, enough time to import few private keys with pywallet  I ca't find the command line to do this. Can you help please? |
