I'm not sure which spectrum is used for Satellite-Earth communication but that would turn out to be effective in the long distance transfers along with the capacity.
They are usually in the SHF or EHF range with tens of GHz. That could work but they require a lot of power.

But the experiment would be a failure as the only underlying technology can be used to run the chain would be RFID which has failed several times over Internet.
Could you explain this? It doesn't make very much sense to me.

"Armory is using the default data directory because the data directory specified in the command line, could not be found and could not be created"
That error only appears if there is an issue not with Armory. The comment with that error is:
Code:
This is true if and only if the command line has a data dir that doesn't exist and can't be created.
which indicates it is probably not an issue with Armory.

0.93.3-beta-e59e10d38c
Try upgrading to the latest version, 0.94.1, downloadable from: https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/tag/v0.94.1

The idea sounds "ingenious" until you discover why its been sidelined.

"Imagine waiting up to 2/5 minutes to setup a connection stream, which could be dropped at any second?"

But you're obviously talking about some sort of decentralized (unique/individual) HF transmition/receive station. It could be possible (at least with some special equipment at both ends). The ultimate option, would be for you to either find some more research papers on this, or build/test some sort of system...

It most likely wouldn't be in HF but probably UHF or SHF which can carry a lot more data but also have less range.
6284  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: armory refuses to use nonstandard dir on: June 20, 2016, 01:26:42 AM
good idea, it is probably a stupid syntax mistake, and I can change folder names once I get it working


"D:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe" --satoshi-datadir=“D:\Bitcoin” --datadir=”D:\armorydb”
I don't see any issues with that.

What is the exact error that you get?

Also, what version of Armory are you running?
6285  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: armory refuses to use nonstandard dir on: June 20, 2016, 01:06:06 AM
yeah...I own the D drive...somethings fucky
Yeah, not sure what is wrong. I don't think it has anything to do with Armory though. Mind sharing your startup command?
6286  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: armory refuses to use nonstandard dir on: June 20, 2016, 01:00:07 AM
ran as admin and still got "data directory specified in the command line, could not be found and could not be created"

but it's right there...pulling my hair out, thank you so much for your help though
Check the permission of the drive itself and make sure that any user can read and write to that drive.
6287  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: armory refuses to use nonstandard dir on: June 20, 2016, 12:48:27 AM
and to be more specific, if I use the double dash in that syntax armory states that it is using the default path as the specified path can not be created
That syntax is correct. I think you have to create the empty folder first so that it already exists when Armory starts. Otherwise, that may be a permissions issue.
6288  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: armory refuses to use nonstandard dir on: June 20, 2016, 12:43:24 AM
you use the double dash before datadir...is that to indicate the endash or the emdash?
Neither. It is literally just two dashes (hyphens).

I did try that as well, and that is certainly NOT what displays in firefox on my system on the troubleshooting page

–satoshi-datadir=_“_F:\Bitcoin\new\home\dir_”_ –datadir=_”_F:\Armory\new\home\dir_”_

what I see displayed is;

en or emdashsatoshi-datadir=underscore"underscorepathunderscore"underscoreen or emdashdatadir=underscore"underscorepathunderscore"underscore
Ignore that. There are no em or en dashes and no underscores unless they are in your path. Those are wrong.

Just copy and paste what I give you below and change what you need to
Code:
--satoshi-datadir="F:\Bitcoin\path" --datadir="F:\Armory\path"
That is it. No underscores or other dashes except the double dash in front of each option and the dash in satoshi-datadir

6290  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Transfer Fees on: June 19, 2016, 11:54:19 PM
The optimal transaction fee is determined by the fees that other transactions have paid to get confirmed. It will vary due to the number of unconfirmed transactions on the network and the fee that those transactions pay. The price of Bitcoin is not directly tied to anything related to how Bitcoin works, so the fees may not change due to the price. It depends on the people and whether they are willing to pay that fee.
6291  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: armory refuses to use nonstandard dir on: June 19, 2016, 11:52:05 PM
To change the armory data directory, you need to start Armory with the option
Code:
--datadir=<path to datadir>
Where <path to datadir> is your path. If you have spaces in your path, surround the whole thing with quotes.

No, Bitcoin is not free or magic money. You will not get 1 BTC for free. That's just like asking for 750 USD for free, it isn't going to happen. You have to do work in order to get 1 BTC.

Down?
Down?

It seems for everyone (''It's not just you! http://btcforkmonitor.info looks down from here.'')
Didn't have the opportunity to take a look on it..
I silently killed the service because it was getting expensive to keep running and no one really visited the site.
6294  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Do i need a good computer to mine with ASIC? on: June 18, 2016, 08:48:18 PM
But i thought that ASIC didn't need a good computer to work fine
 Embarrassed
poptok1 is just spamming and not actually reading what you asked.

You don't need a very powerful computer to control ASICs. So long as it can run bfgminer or cgminer you should be fine.

6296  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin greatest vulnerability on: June 18, 2016, 02:17:36 PM
TLDR: OP neither understands Base58 encoding nor big numbers.
This^

OP, you are completely and absolutely wrong. The private keys ARE NOT randomly generated characters. They are actually 256 bit numbers. This means that the total number of possible private keys is 2^256 - 1, which is a ridiculously large amount of possible private keys. Those private keys are converted into the characters that you see through a process known as Base58 Check Encoding (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Base58Check_encoding). You cannot just throw random characters together to get a private key because it will probably fail the Check part of Base58 Check Encoding. The Check is the first four bytes of a SHA256 checksum of the private key.
6297  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: A technical problem with core wallet on: June 18, 2016, 02:11:13 PM
You can use the command -zapwallettxes to delete the unconfirmed transaction from your wallet.

To do this on a mac, open up a terminal and run
Code:
bitcoin-qt -zapwallettxes=2
afterwards it's probably a good idea to run
Code:
bitcoin-qt -rescan
(this will take a really long time). After you do this you might have to wait a few hours for the network to completely forget about the txes and then you'll be able to spend them as normal.
It is not necessary to do another rescan since zapwallettxes already does a rescan.
6298  Other / Meta / Re: PSA: ACCOUNTS WILL BE LOCKED IF THE SECRET QUESTION IS USED TO RECOVER IT on: June 18, 2016, 04:28:46 AM
Can this be done after the question is set by blanking them out and saving? I was already burned by this and had my account locked. It was frustrating, to say the least, to get my account restored many months later.
Yes, that is how you disable the security question for your account.

Thanks! Have that site as bookmark - did not realise it had this data too!

Although does not show all version bits set - does not include Classic or SegWit - which I thought there were some?
Is that a different url? Could not find an index page to this?

Found source:
https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin-stats

Are a few others but not a general one I do not think.
Bitcoin Core does not support Classic, so it makes sense that sipa, a Bitcoin Core developer, does not tell you about the classic fork, especially since they don't mine particularly many blocks. Segwit's deployment is not yet defined, but after it is and is released, I'm sure that this chart will be updated.

I, for a brief time, ran a site which also monitored all of the forks. I closed it down because there wasn't a lot of traffic, it was getting expensive, and the software I wrote was prone to crashing.
