It is highly recommended that you do not do this as address reuse is not recommended.

If you are sure that you want to reuse change addresses, go to Settings > Options and then the Wallet tab. Check the box for "Enable coin control features". Then click OK. When you go to send, you will now see a box for Coin Control. Check the box for "Custom Change address" and then enter the address that you want to use as your change address. Then send your Bitcoin and the change will go to wherever you specified.

It all depends on the site's crawler. If the site's crawler is connected to you, then it will say that your node is reachable. If it is not, then it will say that your node is not reachable even if you actually are.

Those wallets are not hardware wallets. Those are desktop wallets. Please read the thread and understand what it is about before posting.

Armory uses uncompressed keys. Segwit wallet support has not been implemented yet.

No such folder of that name should ever be created by the software unless you set that as the data directory or that is where you installed the progra. Having that folder is unusual; something is wrong here.

Is that folder created every time you run bitcoin core? Where did you download Bitcoin Core from?

Right more goatpig doesn't want to accept any donations. He doesn't think it is necessary yet.

Your question is hard to understand.

A transaction is either confirmed or unconfirmed. If it is unconfirmed, you can choose to forget that it happened, but everyone else may not also choose to forget about it. If it is confirmed, the transaction is permanent.

So what if I am a company and I claim I get hacked. I send the coins to an exchange, cash it out anonymously, and then claim that I got hacked. How do you determine that this "hack" is fraudulent? How would you know whether I was actually hacked and not just trying to double my money?

Check your local windows firewall. Make sure that it is allowing incoming and outgoing connections for Bitcoin Core and port 8333.

The point is that other people do not know what you did with those images and whether you messed with them and installed malware. All people can do is trust you to not have done anything malicious with it and given that you are only a newbie with no trust, I highly doubt that anyone is going to trust you to not have messed with the images.

There is money at stake here, I highly advise everyone to not download these images.

How do we know that you did not install any malware that would allow you to steal our bitcoin? This is highly suspicious.

The Bitcoin does not return to your wallet. Your wallet simply forgets that the transaction had happened so it reverts to a state in which the transaction had never happened in the first place. This does not mean that anything was returned nor that any other node on the network also forgot about the transaction.

Everyone's computer is different. Bitcoin Core behaves differently depending on the computer, the software on your system, and whatever else that you did with it. It always depends on your installation. There are these things called edge cases, they aren't always reproducible and can be extremely difficult to intentionally cause.

Since you refuse to let yourself to be helped, I will stop helping you.

And the key difference between you and me is that I know what I am doing and can identify the issue and resolve it myself. I won't go crying to some forum and then refuse help when it is offered. If I need help, I will ask for it and accept the assistance when it is offered. As a developer, I can find the issue, and if it can be reliably reproduced, fix the problem and submit a patch.

Edit: Did exactly what you said. Started Bitcoin Core, killed it via task manager. Did it again, no problems there. Started it again, pulled the plug on my computer, rebooted, started the program again, no problems there. So, as I said above, this problem is not reproducible, there are edge cases that happen. In order to diagnose the issue and in order to help you, we need to see the logs.

No, that is not canceling the transaction. That just means that your wallet chose to forget about that transaction. That does not mean that the transaction has been forgotten by everyone on the network. At any point in time, someone could rebroadcast that transaction and every node on the network would see it again.

The Bitcoin does not "return" to your wallet. Nothing sends it back. What happens is that your wallet forgets about it, but everyone else may not have forgotten about it.

Again, we need to see the log file. Just telling us how long it is taking does not help at all. The information you are giving us is not enough for anyone to diagnose the problem or be able help you.

If you give us the log file, we can better help you. Otherwise, just kill it and restart the program. It will not redownload the blockchain and it should not corrupt the database.

No it is not possible to cancel a transaction. All you can do is create a double spend and hope that miners chose to confirm your double spend transaction and not the original. The original is not "canceled". It just remains unconfirmed forever until nodes drop the transaction from their mempools.

There is no such thing as "reaches the blockchain". It doesn't matter what blockchain.info says, they are just a service, not the actual blockchain. When a transaction confirms, it becomes permanent.

Start from the bottom of the log and post as much as you can.

Can you post the debug.log file?

How do you define a "large hacks"? Who does this determination? Who gets to decide what to reverse and what not to reverse? Who chooses the people that decide what gets reversed?

The whole idea of transaction reversal and the inherent centralization that comes about because of it is entirely against the principles of cryptocurrency. This is a horrible idea and I don't think it will gain much support.

That's normal. Just wait.

How much RAM do you have?
