The site will be going down momentarily for an update. All previous requests and tokens will be deleted.

This update will fix the problems that the site has been having with user's requests failing due to discrepancy in post counts.

Edit: Chris! it's fixed (my site, not your profile): http://www.bctalkaccountpricer.info/?token=u640fnvp. I had to write a workaround that doesn't rely on the forum providing the right profile info.

You probably have a couple of posts that ended up in the trashcan. Those posts go into the post count but don't show up in the show posts pages. It is fine to have a post count above what is in the show posts, but when it is below like with Chris!, then we have problems.

I made a thread in meta about this here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1397338.0

While I was looking at Chris!'s profile (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=662129) to figure out why his requests kept failing on my site, I noticed that there seem to be a few post count counting problems on this forum.

If you look at Chris!'s profile (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=662129), you will notice that the post count is reported as 187. However if you look through his show posts pages (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=662129;sa=showPosts), you will notice that the count of the posts there do not match up with the reported post count. The counts are in the upper left hand corner of each post and the last post listed (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=662129;sa=showPosts;start=180) has a count of 189, not 187.

In fact, for nearly every user that I have looked at, their post count in the profile is actually one above what the count is in the show posts page.

Why is this so and is this a bug?

Also, I understand why there would be post counts reported as above the number shown in show posts since some users have posts in hidden boards like staff boards or the trashcan. Those posts are in the post count but not in the show posts pages. What I don't understand is why there would be a post count reported as less than what is in the show posts pages.

I think your profile is messed up. Look at your profile page (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=662129). It reports your number of posts as 187. Now look at the number of the last post on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=662129;sa=showPosts;start=180. It is 189. Normally that number is one above than the post count, but yours it's two below. This I think is causing the problems since I create an array whose size is the post count reported in the profile. However that post count doesn't match up with the posts in your show posts page, which is what is screwing the site up.

It's probably a bug in the forum and you should probably open a thread in meta about it.

Edit: fixed some errors.

Your wallet might be corrupted. Try running Bitcoin Core with the -salvagewallet option.

Bitcoin Core automatically bans peers that it sees are misbehaving. If a peer connected to it misbehaves, it disconnects it and blocks it from connecting for 24 hours.

As for what misbehaving means, I'm not quite sure. I am fairly certain it has something to do with the number of transactions and blocks it is sending and whether those transactions and blocks are valid.

The address to lock the coins in is a p2sh address.

The script itself may look something like:
This would mean that the person who is spending it must own the private key for the <pubkey> and must know the secret so that when the secret is put through the SHA256 hash, you get <sha256(secret)>.

You cannot lock them until a certain transaction exists. However, what you can do is have a script can only be spent from when a certain secret is known. That secret could be published in another transaction.

You can also lock to a certain date or block height.

I considered doing that and I actually was going to, but life happened, I got lazy, and it just never happened. Once I get some more time I will resume working on this.

I have been using Wagecan's virtual debit card. I like it and it does work in the US. The only problem I have is that loading the card can sometimes take up to two days.

Yes that is true. It is true even when not using tor. If you are sending data over HTTP, it is unencrypted so anyone between you and the site (e.g. tor exit nodes, routers, switches, proxies, etc.) can intercept and read the data in clear text. This includes passwords and sensitive information. The solution is to use HTTPS. IIRC the tor browser comes with an extension called HTTPS Everywhere that forces sites to use HTTPS if it us available. If it isn't, I think the extension will warn you.

There are Permalinks, kinda. Under the token there is a link for "Share this estimate" and that will link back to the estimate once it generates. The estimate only stays on the server for a week though so that link will only work for one week. This is so that storing the estimates doesn't crash my server.

Regarding this I suppose: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1392185.msg14175242#msg14175242.

Yes, I do code and I can read and understand code. If you would like me to escrow a deal, please send me a PM.

Depends on what you want, but that is off topic for this thread.

Hm. I'm not sure what is wrong here, you will probably have to wait for goatpig to respond.

What was the error that you got when it crashed?

Try starting Bitcoin Core manually. In Armory, go to the settings and uncheck the option to allow Armory to run Bitcoin Core in the background. Then start Bitcoin Core and restart Armory.

use pastebin.com and post the link.

Go to the data folder. It is in %appdata%/Armory in windows or in ~/.Armory on linux. There should be two log files there, post the content of those.

Also, try 0.94 testing. You can download it from https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/tag/0.93.99.1.

The export logs shouldn't be disabled, but submit bug report is since ATI no longer is developing armory and their servers are now down.

Can you post your logs here?

Shut down Bitcoin Core. Then wait a few days and check the block explorers for that transaction. Check multiple block explorers like blockchain.info, blocktrail.com, and blockcypher.com. After a few days the transaction should be dropped from the network and then you should be able to spend the Bitcoin again.

You could import the address into the wallet as watching-only with importaddress <address>. Otherwise, Bitcoin Core doesn't do address checking stuff, so you can use online apis from blockchain.info, blocktrail.com, blockcypher.com, and many other places.
