I have bought a new PC, in which I've downloaded BTC-core 0.13.2. I set my router to open port 8333. The inbound and outbound connections are working well to the network . I am planning on running it 24/7.
However I am still I not listed on bitnodes.21, claiming I am unreachable. Can someone advise?

how do I import the paper's private-key to core (0.13.1)?
Click Help > Debug Window > Console Type importprivkey "bitcoinprivkey" "label" Thanks. should I type the paper's private-key with or without the " " ? Can you be exact on that? Also what is a label, and for what use? Without. The label basically helps you to identity what the address is used for. It can only be seen in the wallet itself and nowhere else. Does such import is recorded on the blockchain? No. So what happened in terms of the core-wallet and the paper-wallet? With the keys imported into your core wallet, you can spend the funds from there. Nothing else changes. Does Trezor stand to its secutiry features better than bitcoin-core and paper-wallets? |

I already have bitcoins in a paper-wallet (and a bitcoin-core ballanced zero). Can I send those bitcoin directly from the paper-wallet to a new Trezor? If not, how do I import the paper's private-key to core (0.13.1) first? Does it require miners' (transaction) fees?
How do I create secure seed-words?

To be honest, I would not use Steganography to hide my private keys and store these image on any digital media. Most of what we do, are being tracked and monitored. If you Google "Steganography" and start using it, you will automatically send out a clue to whomever is watching that you are using Steganography to hide something. My private keys are generated "offline" and it stays "offline" until I want to use them.  Assuming all are being tracked and monitored, and BTC is an open-source, public to view, if you are for example traveling to other countries etc and want to have your bitcoin on reach anytime, can private keys be generated "offline/online" but stay "online" until you want to use them, while using steganography BTC function/app/feature, to hide your private keys and store these online among the billions of digital-images (files) already public on the web? Can this goal be open-source programmable, turning "naïve" images into secret wallets? Does it has any mathematical value? From wilki: Image of a tree with a steganographically hidden image. The hidden image is revealed by removing all but the two least significant bits of each color component and a subsequent normalization. The hidden image is shown below. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography#/media/File:Steganography_original.png

Anyone that reviewed their original business model or prospectus would understand that Circle never really was going to be a crypto company. They were always poised to copy the most sellable features of crypto but remain tied to the traditional banking model. Bitcoin's exchange rate is created almost entirely from the foreign exchange market (Forex) where currency "pairs" are traded back and forth for a quick profit. Much of the current Bitcoin pair trading is happening in the Chinese market. The Chinese traders would be less likely to care about the implications of an American business pulling out of Bitcoin. Also, Forex and day traders are a money savvy group of people that read money news constantly and would have already understood the above long before it happened. Is BTC becoing more-and-more China's blockchain playground? What is their bigger understandings for their Commusint politics & finance in this Global digital era? Bitcoin was designed to give people financial freedom from trusted third parties. That's exactly what the Chinese are using it for regardless of whether they use it for speculation or purchases. Western intrinsic racial and national origin prejudice makes them believe there's something wrong with the Chinese using Bitcoin more than they do. That thinking is wrong on many levels. I disagree. The Chinese government is building up a Social Credit Rating System to determine how much trust can be give to every citizen. Imagine you took a ride on the train without a ticket? Cheated on a test in university? Cursed someone online? This system remembers everything and will give scores. These scores will determine whether you should be granted for a loan, or be allowed to have a new job, or to be suitables for booking hotel-room in mainland China or elasewhere worldwide. Xinhuanet has already reported that the plan for the system "focuses on credit in four areas, including administrative affairs, commercial activities, social behavior, and the judicial system. This social credit rating system will start operation in 2020. According to the Chinese government, its goal is to allow those trustful people to walk everywhere on earth, and decline the truthless from walking even one step.
This Social Credit Rating System can and will most probably use BTC.

That's pretty creepy. Thankfully, they're not even close to being able to do that yet. You need to read this article, it will help you understand what's going on: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/03/business/dealbook/bitcoin-china.html?_r=0Here is my understanding. In December 2013, China’s government intervened and cut off the flow of money between Chinese banks and Bitcoin exchanges, later to be poorly and falsely named as a bubble. Not true! Behind the power of Chinese companies stands Chinese Party members, whom have already come to play a major role in a civil war that has divided Bitcoin followers. This war is part of a much larger financial/ policital moves in line with the Belt and Road Initiative on the global stage. The power of Chinese companies (under a single jurisdiction) has already come to play a major role in a civil war that has divided Bitcoin followers - and China is taking for example IMO SegWit as a `hostage` in those ongoing (secret-cyber-crypto-)battles, united as said under a single jurisdiction, which does not bode well. China has a majority control of the Bitcoin network, and through its proxy agents for exaplme PR this last year as an "identity-ideology crisis", which they have created at first place, acting mindfully agaist Bitcoin early conception, in they claimed war. Bitcoin was to exist beyond the control of any single government or country. China has become a market for Bitcoin (tokens and blockchain) unlike anywhere else. China’s clout is raising worries about Bitcoin’s independence and decentralization, which was supposed to give the technology freedom from the sort of government crackdowns and interventions - this leads to bigger questions of what Bitcoin should look like in 10 or 20 years? China has no power and wishes to leadership openly and responsibaly the industry, for so many failing levels and matters. From the beginning, Bitcoin was designed to be decentralized (operated by all the people who joined their computers to the Bitcoin network and helped process the transactions), but China does not stand for that, thus de-facto changing Bitcoin's ecosystem with those they (can) trust. They take more and more voting and programming core power. China’s government can one day decide to pressure miners in the country to their use. The government’s intervention in 2013 suggests that Bitcoin is not too small to escape notice. China will remain dominant in Bitcoin, blockchain and crypto for good. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/why-the-great-firewall-of-china-is-causing-serious-issues-for-bitcoin-miners-1456508966 |

Cryptocurrency is now a big industry and can now stand on its own. In the future it may be more stable than stocks exchange in the wall street. Soon the currency used in stocks exchange will no longer be US dollar but bitcoin. If you notice forex has already bitcoin in it and it is called bitforex. Sorry but bitcoin has failed to live up to the/my 2013-14 expectations (when i first learnt and used BTC). |

Can BTC private-keys be safely hidden in public digital-images, thus to be used as secret-keys to BTC (0.13.1 core) wallets, assuming there is a way to program it?
If so, how? If not, why not? People are very visual-minded imo.

thanks... F2Pool is using the wallet address >> 1KFHE7w8BhaENAswwryaoccDb6qcT6DbYY for their new generated tokens. https://blockchain.info/address/1KFHE7w8BhaENAswwryaoccDb6qcT6DbYYHave they really generated a total of about new 810,000 coins?? If so - this is so much!!! too much I would say!!! this is not a decentralized system, isn't it? |

Yes, it happens sometimes. If you notice, that miner "found" that block within a few seconds after the prior. So the miner did not add any transactions since it was so fast. That 1 transaction is called the coinbase, which is where newly mined bitcoins come from. so the miner [F2Pool] is keeping the 12.5B for himself? |
|
|
|
you don't need a wallet of your own to validate transactions and serve as a backup for the blockchain
what is the difference between a miner and a full-node when it comes to checking (i.e. validating) the thousands of transactions in each block and the history of the blockchain - 24/7, thus securing the bitcoin network? |
|
|
|
|
when said that a full node validates transactions and blocks - does it validates any (random) transcations and blocks from the net or just the ones which are send into it as a wallet? I am asking this because my wallet (i.e. full node on my PC) is empty - it has no transactions at all. My wallet balance is zero.
|

Does running a full node bitcoin core wallet (0.13.1) connected to the network (port 8333 open) with NO send/receive at all, i.e. zero ballance - helps the net or not? If so, how?
