I still have problem understanding how blocks build up.
At a time there is only one block generating. Then transactions are accumulating in that block. then when block reach 1 mb, block is attributed to one miner who gets the subsidies and the transaction fees related to that block. am I missing something?
No, that is not how blocks are generated. A miner creates a block, full of however many transactions they decide to include. This block, when sent to every other node on the network, must be checked for validity. Part of that check is the size. The block is currently not allowed to be larger than 1 Mb. If it is, a node running current consensus rules will reject the block. |

Thanks for the replies, but that's not what I'm aiming to do.
I want to open the wallet to read how many bitcoins are in there. I don't want to export private keys or anything.
The purpose to show proof that I own X BTC to a mortgage broker.
There is currently no other software which can use the Bitcoin Core wallet as its wallet file except for Bitcoin Core. And the only way to see your balance in that wallet is to use Bitcoin Core. You could look up all of the addresses in the wallet and get a balance that way though. |

Where can I find the debug.log?
Open up Windows Explorer and in the top bar where the path is, type And hit enter. You should see the file in there. its only if he used bitcoin default directory unchanged, but if he is using custom path to store blockchain then debug.log will found in directory set for bitcoin data. I reinstalled it and left everything unchanged, but the Bitcoin folder still isn't there. Then it looks like Bitcoin Core ins't starting. Do you have an antivirus installed? If you do, sometimes they will flag Bitcoin Core as a virus, so add the bitcoin-qt.exe file to the exemptions list. Make sure you also do that with Windows Defender. |

I know that it's not mining related, but I was watching a beginners guide to mining and said it was needed, so I installed it.
But no, it is not in the taskbar. I have no idea why, even though the process is running in the background.
try closing the wallet from taskmanager and restart it PS. you don't need bitcoin core to mine,you can mine without core wallet through mining pools I closed it and restarted it, but its doing the same exact thing as before. Can you post the debug.log? Also, try setting -resetguisettings in the startup command. |

Bitcoin Core isn't really mining related.
Do you see the icon in the taskbar? If you do, then the window for it is just off screen. Try doing Shift + Right Click and select move and you should be able to move it back to where you can see it.

Is there any software that can open a Bitcoin Core wallet.dat file without having to download the entire blockchain?
You can set Bitcoin Core to open without downloading the entire blockchain. Just append -connect=127.0.0.1 to the startup command and export your private keys so that you can use them elsewhere. If you want a lightweight client, I recommend using Electrum. |

If the wallet running on one server, I think there is only one linux wallet running but with multiple addresses on the same wallet, each user use their own address althout share the same wallet, whether the different users will influence each other if they share the same wallet with different address? whether I must write some php code to seperate the different users?
It depends on the wallet you are running on your server. If you use something like Bitcoin Core, then your rpc commands must be able to separate the users' addresses because the wallet does not know that each address is separate. If you do not do this manually, then someone could end up spending another person's Bitcoin. |

whether piwallet will work with x11 coins
It depends on the coin and whether it is storing data different from Bitcoin in the wallet db. |

Long story short, BitCoin uses LevelDB from Google, that seems to have some "undfined" issues with cifs. They could most probably be fixed/worked around, but that would require me to report the problem to the Bitcoin devs, then they to report it upstream, wait for Google to fix it, then update the LevelDB version in Bitcoin. I bet it could take years  I've already reported it to the devs: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7981. And since they maintain their own fork of LevelDB ( https://github.com/bitcoin-core/leveldb), any fix probably has a good likelihood of making it into the next major release, 0.13. That will be in a few months though, since they usually don't have bug fixes for minor releases unless they are major problems. |
|
|
|
So the network itself is definitely not a problem. Could be a permissions problem?
I don't think it is permissions. I think it has to do with how cifs does file sharing, although, again, I'm not sure. I'll open an issue on github since I have also had this problem before. |

In theory, there should be no way for the Bitcoin software to distinguish between a local and a network drive. That's why I do not see why it should not work.
In theory, yes. In practice, the software implementation may be doing something which differs from a local drive and causes Bitcoin Core to react in unexpected ways. Is there a way to have a more precise error message saying what is wrong?
Those error messages are in the debug.log. Can you post that here so that we can see what the errors are? IIRC, though, the error messages for this are not all to helpful. Is this the right place to ask support for that software?
No. The developers do not use these forms anymore. The proper place to report bugs and issues is on the github issue tracker at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues |

Are you sure that you checked all of the addresses? What armory version are you using?

Hi guys..i was just wondering is it possible to make some bitcoins by reffering others to btc gambling and faucet sites.if so can anyone tell me what is the best way to get refferals and which site is best for getting some btc that way..thanks
It is possible, but you are not allowed to post any referral links here on Bitcointalk (you can have them in your signature). You will need to find somewhere with a high enough traffic to post your ref links. |

Is there any way to download old versions of Armory? I'm looking for the 0.92.3 offline bundle for Ubuntu 12.04 but unfortunately can't find this anywhere. Thanks for any hints.
The oldest ones are 0.93.3. If you want older, you will need to build it yourself. But why do you want old software? |

Why aren't network drivers ok?  I haven't fully investigated it yet, so I don't know why. But after some experimentation, I do know that network drives do not work. |

Why do they cause problems, may you elaborate on that, please
That level of divisibility makes user usability problems. It allows for dust outputs and low fees. A dust output is an output with a value less than 2730 satoshis. This can be a problem when sending transactions, especially with poorly written software which do not take into account dust outputs. With low fees, satoshis allow for very small fees which can be problematic with getting transactions confirmed quickly. |
|
|
|
So is it kind of anticipated that one day we will shift the decimal point?
Perhaps, it all depends on the value of Bitcoin. The value of Bitcoin would have to go up significantly. Even today we don't need satoshis. They are simply too small and actually cause problems. |

Hello
In a tx output you specify how many satoshis you assign to it. This is a 8 byte value so the maximum amount of satoshis you could transfer theoretically would be 2^8*8 = 1.84e19 = 1.84e11 Bitcoins.
However, this wastes 4 !! digits as in practical terms the maximum amount of bitcoins can never exceed 2.1e7 bitcoins.
So actually it would make more sense if one satoshi was 1e-12 bitcoins instead of only 1e-8.
What do you think about it?
regards
We don't need that level of division yet. |
