Hi everybody
I am toying a bit with the json API from blockchain.info. When looking at some transactions I note this tx_index which is always the same for outputs, and different for each input of one tx. It is clear that this references the utx.
But where does this tx_index come from I wonder? Is it inside the blockchain or is it some blockchain.info specific indexing sitting in their index database?
Sincerely
It is blockchain.info's internal tx database. It is not inside the blockchain itself. |

What makes you say that security for cards is awful? The only time I had issues with one was with a debit card loaded with bitcoin.
The private key is 16 digits printed on the front of the card. There is no security whatsoever! Not only that, but the name, expiration date, and security code are all there for anyone to see. All it takes is a cashier or waiter with a good memory (or just good stealth skills) to remember those details and use the card online to buy stuff. |

1. No, I mentioned moneypot, they could handle the transactions
2. Everything you said after your first sentence is solved by moneypot
The problem then is moneypot. I would have to trust a third party online wallet, something which I don't do. I don't care if they are "trusted", I just don't trust or use any online wallet provider; many users here feel the same way. Also, I'm pretty sure that Theymos is not fond of the idea of using a third party service for things related to the site (as in he doesn't have direct access and cannot fully control everything), especially when handling actual money. I'm also pretty sure the he doesn't like the idea where the forum is in charge of users' money. |

Enable pruning. Go to the data directory (see https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory for the default locations) and create a bitcoin.conf file. In the file, have a line with This will prune the blockchain and make the size or takes about 2Gb. Hey, yeah that would be helpfull but i honestly didn't understood a thing... I'm not a newbie but i'm not an expert in bitcoins As I said, go to the data directory. The link I gave you will tell you where it is for your operating system. In that first, create a text file. In that file, put the line that I gave you above. Save the file in the data directory. In a file explorer, rename the file you saved to bitcoin.conf. Then start bitcoin core and it will be pruned. Might wana make sure they are using bitcoin core, because in the first post OP said "bitcore"[1] which is not the same. [1] https://github.com/bitpay/bitcoreI always assume Bitcoin Core when they are talking about wallets and have something along the lines of "core", "bitcore", etc because AFAIK Bitpay's Bitcore is not actually a wallet. It is just a full node implementation. |

I think we should revisit a pay per post option as I discussed a few months ago, When you are starting a thread, along with the regular option, there would be a paid per post feature, this would deter spammers from entering your thread, the amount should be somewhere around 10-20k satoshis. Moneypot could be used to handle the money, and the money collected doesn't go to the OP of the thread, it goes to the forum, which then donates this money to charity.
I think its a good Idea, tear it apart, If you are getting paid for posting, you shouldnt have any problem paying to post
So every time I want to post, I need to pay a few thousand satoshis and wait for the transaction to confirm before the post goes live? This idea just sounds like a pain in the ass because I need to open my wallet and send a transaction every time I want to post. Furthermore, this would contribute to blockchain bloat. Additionally, I may not always have access to my wallet. What if I am on mobile and don't have a mobile hot wallet? What if I am just hodling and all of my Bitcoin are locked away somewhere safe where I can't access them? This just deters people who do post constructively and don't have a signature simply out of the inconvenience that this causes. Now, you may say that not all threads will be like that, but any thread that would have a decent discussion going on would have this enabled and having to pay to post in those threads would simply become bothersome.
A question for the mods: If a user posts something in a thread that has already been said and doesn't add anything new (as a lot of account farmers do), will the post be deleted as spam if it is reported? |

It probably won't be released. It was never tagged. If you want it yourself, checkout the branch and build it yourself.

It depends on what you mean by "control the network". All that an attacker can do with a lot of nodes is conduct a sybil attack on other nodes. They cannot change the blockchain without any mining power, they cannot make coins move that they don't have the private keys for. All an attacker can do is feed bad information to a node and keep that node from the rest of the network.

As --Encrypted-- said, nothing can be done at this time. However, what you should do is scan your computer with antivirus software to check that there is no malware on your computer. There are viruses known to hijack the clipboard and replace an address with an attacker's, so you should scan your computer to make sure you don't have that.
You can also try to figure out who owns that address and see if you can get that person to return you your money.

Thanks for the really quick reply, I will try that and confirm if it resolves the issue.
I forgot to mention that 0.94.1 will build new databases. However, these databases are significantly smaller than the old ones (several Gb vs ~200 Mb). However it does not remove the old databases, so you will have to go to the armory data directory and delete the old ones yourself in order to get that additional space. The old databases will not have any effect on the new ones. |

If your paper wallet is unencrypted, your Bitcoin can be stolen. Likewise, if your backup on a USB is unencrypted, someone can steal your Bitcoin. The solution is to use encryption. Paper wallets can be encrypted just like a digital backup can be encrypted. If you go to the paper wallet tab of bitaddress.org, there is an option to BIP38 encrypt. Check that and enter your encryption password. The private key will be encrypted and can only be decrypted if you know the password.
Also, the private key IS NOT the same as a password. They are not synonymous and do not use them interchangeably. Refer to the private key as the private key and the password as the password.

1. How to fast find address in this case?
The same speed that it takes to find any address. Yes. |

It seems that your site is down. I would check if the activity new round is tomorrow, but I can't since it seems that it crashed and is no longer online. I get some blank pages after a lot of loading.
Yeah, I just got back to my computer where I can access the server. It looks like the server crashed. I'm currently trying to figure out what went wrong and to get it back up and running. Edit: We're back online!! |

Hello, Can anyone please help me retrieve my electrum wallet password? I will give 1 btc to anyone who can get the password/seed back for me  Regards If you have no idea what the password is, then nothing can be done and the bitcoin is lost. Otherwise, write down everything you can remember about the password and that may help you recall it. |

core won,t download to my external drive.
A stupid question, assuming you're talking about the core qt wallet, you did start it from the commandline like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -datadir=d:\BitcoinData (given that you're using windows, and d:\ is you external drive) You can also right click on the shortcut and add the -datadir option to the command in the target box so that you don't need to start it from the command line every time. |

Service problem, contact their support. Users here cannot help you.
Also, you should stop using bc.i. I recommend that you get a desktop wallet like Electrum.
