Any suggestions as to what Sig Campaign I should sign up with first as a beginner? Not looking for too much money, just some easy $.
Here is a list of sig campaigns: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0. Most won't accept newbies. If you join a sig campaign, please make sure that you post with good quality. If you spam, shit post, or post for the sake of increasing your post count, you will be banned. Think about what you are going to post before you hit the post button; if someone already answered a question, don't post; if what you are posting doesn't add to the discussion, don't post; if you are only posting because you are greedy and want maximum payout, stop being greedy and rethink your life choices. |

If port 8333 is not forwarded, then 8 connections are the max and not contributing to the network.
Not true. Outbound connections are still contributing to the network since the node still relays all valid transactions and blocks to its 8 peers, even though they are outbound. More contribution can be done with allowing incoming connections, but they are not necessary to be "contributing". |

A very simple question:
During stress test, it will take quite a while before a transaction gets the first confirmation, which will depend on the priority (fee, age of unspent input etc).
However, after getting the first confirmation, can I assume that the tx will receive the 2nd, 3rd and subsequent confirmations in every 10 minutes??
Yes. A confirmation simply means that a transaction has been included in a block. Once it is included in one block (one confirmation), the rest of the confirmations mean that the block it is included in is X blocks from the most recent block. The only way to get those is for more blocks to be found. Of course, due to randomness, blocks are not produced every 10 minutes. On average it is 10 minutes, but it isn't always exactly 10 minutes. |

So if I understand you properly, you plan on telling people you work for to send fiat to a third party who in turn sends you Bitcoin. There is no prerequisite which states that you must have a bank account linked. If you can find an anonymous third party that you trust to do this, then you won't have your information revealed to that person. If you send the Bitcoin through a mixer and then cash it out at an exchange, then it will be very difficult to track you.

Doesn't armory already use bitcoind's estimatefee for calculating fees? I thought that it only uses the default when bitcoind doesn't have enough data to estimate the fee.

I am waiting about 30 mins for core to import a privkey, why is that ?
Because it needs to rescan the entire blockchain to check for all of the transactions that involve the address associated with that private key. The blockchain is huge and this process takes a while. |

Yeah, I get this error:
That's pretty severe, I should get this error too but I can't reproduce it. Anyone else running into this? Can you git stash git pull and try again? Same error. Nothing was stashed and nothing was pulled. |

Also, I am unable to open the Lockboxes and the Address Book dialogs.
Fixed the lockbox issue, can't reproduce the address book one. Do you have some Python error in your terminal when that happens? Yeah, I get this error: (ERROR) Traceback (most recent call last):

What about the links to bitcoinarmory.com like those on the dashboard when armory is offline? What should be done about those?
Comment them out. Just PR to dev if you have minor changes. Alright, will do that shortly. |

Your second transaction depends on the first one so it cannot be confirmed until the first is. The first transaction has a fairly low fee. Also there appears to be a lot of unconfirmed transactions so that is causing a backlog.

So a few weeks ago I emailed the people at the Free Software Foundation seeking some help about the licensing issue here, and they finally responded. This is what I was told: AGPL is a non-revocable license which allows anybody to keep using the code and build on it as long as they comply with the license requirements. ... If the code was published under the (non-revocable) AGPL, then it can continue to be used. ... Assuming the code was published under the AGPL, developers can continue to use it as long as they comply with the AGPL.
This means that any of the code published under AGPLv3 can be used regardless of whether the original developers pulled the original repository. Anyone who has access to that code is allowed to use it so long as they comply with the terms of the license. To comply with the terms of the license though, any binaries that are published MUST be published under AGPLv3 since it is using the original AGPLv3 code base. Also, the entire project must be licensed under AGPLv3 because it is using AGPLv3 licensed code. |

you just sent that tx like 10 minutes ago, dude. have patience.  This. The last block found was at 2016-02-29 21:28:41. The transaction was broadcasted at 2016-02-29 21:51:59. A block has not yet been found, so the transaction cannot yet be confirmed. I would guess that the transaction will be included in the next block. do you mean it's not going to be confirmed next 5 hours? what can i do? actually i'm little hurry because my site funds about to be empty  No. Confirmations occur when a transaction is included in a block and blocks are found every ten minutes on average. That means that there are some instances where blocks will not be found for a while. The longest I have seen is 1 hour, so I think a block will be found within the next 30 minutes. That block will probably include your transaction. All you can do is wait. |

Merged in knightdk's changes around the ATI references and turning off the phone home code. Give it a spin, try to find broken dialogs (although I think I got them all). I'll be traveling tomorrow so the testing builds will have to wait for Thursday/Friday.

Anyone know if there's any way to accelerate this reindex?
Get better hardware.  I think the setting the -dbcache=<n> where N is the size in megabytes of the cache to a larger size might make it faster. |
|
|
|
thanks a lot, can you tell me how to stop re-broadcasting it?
do you mean quit the bitcoin-qt?
Yes. If you still want Bitcoin Core open, then you need to start it with the option -zapwallettxes. Also you should upgrade to the latest Bitcoin Core 0.12.0 because 0.8.6-beta is old outdated software. |

How much Internet speed you have ? because downloading the whole block can take a few gigs If you don't really want to download the whole block that can take gigs, you can use wallet like electrum where you don't need any block indexing and ready to go Though, you will need to import your old private key from Bitcoin core to Electrum, shouldn't be a problem for you right ? Since he is reindexing, internet speed doesn't matter, hard drive and CPU do. The blockchain is not being redownloaded here. |
|
|
|
|
No, you do not have to wait 5 years. That just means the latest block that it had indexed is from 5 years ago. The reindexing should only take a few hours to a day or so.

How could an mp3 recording be verified to be what it is supposed to be?
If you hash the file you can post the hash, and retain the file. Anyone you send the file can verify it by using the same hash on it and comparing the result with the advertised one. But that isn't a Zero-knowledge proof. The proof is the data itself, not some subset of the data which proves the data is legit but does not reveal the data itself. |

that was my first intention , but : what happens if they take advantage of the situation and stay with the bitcoins ?
Who are "they"? Again, you should probably talk to support for the site. |

I have an account on a page that buys and sells " bitcoin " . I never made a deposit , and recently see a deposit of 4.19 bitcoins . I do not know the sender. What should I do?. What are the legal consecuencies if i spend it?
On what site? Can you provide a transaction id for the deposit? There are probably no legal consequences of spending the Bitcoin, but just to be safe, you should probably contact the site's support. |
