723  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: [Warning] If you are using Trezor, double check your fees before sending on: May 18, 2017, 01:17:00 PM
Fee estimation of many services was broken recently. We're rewriting Wallet to use estimate of Core which is more conservative than 21inc.

724  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: All you need to know about Unconfirmed transactions and what to do about them. on: May 18, 2017, 05:05:09 AM
Can you please add a note to include the txid needing confirmation in the initial PM to me? I am receiving an increasing number of PMs asking for help every day, and it is becoming a hassle asking users for the txid in response to a message asking if I can help. This is especially true considering that the time I am able to devote to the forum is declining.

Thanks.

Is there any way to set custom fees in that portal? Do we have to switch to Electrum or something?
I am not using Trezor, just sharing the news.
But I know that you can use Trezor with many wallets such as Electrum and with those wallets you can in fact set the fee manually.

There is a glitch in how Trezor determines the amount of fee, and it is causing an extremely high amounts.

Double check everything before sending the transaction.

Do NOT download, this is most probably a scam!

This is not a false positive:

730  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: why didnt electrum make all new seeds bip39? on: May 06, 2017, 04:24:59 AM
(CRITICAL) Incorrect derivation for certain BIP39 keys, fund loss

P.S. Electrum is not effected by this.

732  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: AliasCoin Proposal: How To Send Money To "Satoshi" Instead of "1TE6a7tvT..." on: May 05, 2017, 01:04:38 PM
I have seen a couple of these proposals and I always have one shared thought about all of them: I never understand why people even want to have an easily, memorable phrase instead of that scary hash160 string. When you buy something from an online store you never memorize their payment details, you click a button and are redirected to a payment processor and it automatically fills in the data needed for you to make the payment. And nobody is ever scared of seeing that page. So why making a payment with bitcoin which means either clicking a payment link using BIP21 or scanning a QR code. But that's just my thoughts

Other problem that I see here, is being too limited (I believe the word for it is collision):
With bitcoin everyone who is using it has a unique address and will continue having a unique address for years no matter how many millions of people use it and generate new addresses.
In this proposal what happens when I register name "Foo", then 1000 others after me want to register the same name? "Foo.Bar"? "Foo.2"? "Foo.1000"?
There will always be very limited number of proper names to use before we start getting to hard names area. And the main issue you raised in the beginning will show up again. It will be hard to remember "My.Custom.Foo.Bar.Name.That.Is.Unique.To.Me".

Also the "centralization" and the "address reuse" issues that are already mentioned are not small things to overlook.
733  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you use Bitcoin if it was proprietary/closed source software? on: May 05, 2017, 12:36:59 PM
Closed source software era is coming to an end. Everything is moving towards a more open-sourced code. All the previously closed source software are even starting to release their code, realizing that is the new world.
For example Microsoft has been releasing .Net Framework source code for some time now.

And for something so sensitive as bitcoin which deals with a lot of money and should have certain aspects such as decentralization must be 100% open source.

This is the output that is being spent:

(You know, in case someone wanted to "follow the money").

It's fun to see a tx with 99943 new outputs!

Has anyone decoded this TX, it is too weird! I think it is spending more than it can.
736  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the limits of transactions of the Bitcoin ? on: May 01, 2017, 01:33:28 PM
However, I have not seen anyone make such a large transaction.
You can't say that again from now on Tongue
The ~1 MB transaction
The block that had this tx
737  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Is developing your own Wallet safer? on: May 01, 2017, 01:16:49 PM
but the function is the function and the code is the code, you set a fee and an amount to send with address plus private key then you send
Not exactly. The cryptography part (generating a true random number, getting the public key and signing transactions correctly and without messing up) is the hardest part.
There have been enough incidents leading to losses because of poor implementation of what seems to be easy.

but have you thought about how to send out or receive if you don't have a full node?
That, my friend, is the easiest part! it is a simple code making an specific kind of message and sending it to other nodes. I say it is easy because I have done it and I am not even good at coding or Bitcoin!

I want to know how could I have my wallet not of my own code but just electrum only connecting it directly to my full node and maybe I could even access my funds on full node wallet while I'm at home and Core running 45 miles away?
Or am I asking too much here? or maybe I need to put a few lilne of codes/ commands in Core wallet and set the Core IP as server in electrum?

739  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When exactly is the time in a block updated? on: April 30, 2017, 11:38:14 AM
TimeStamp in a block is just the miner's system time and date in Unix. After they mine a block, they add the TimeStamp to the header and finish up. Maybe what the documentation says means it has the accuracy of a few seconds as in "the code updates the TimeStamp variable right before finishing and hashing the block".

And it can be different, if I am not mistaken there can be blocks with bigger block height with TimeStamp which is lower than previous ones. And that is because TimeStamp has a 2 hour room for mistake.
Example:
145044: 2011-09-12 15:46:39     
145045: 2011-09-12 16:05:07
145046: 2011-09-12 16:00:05 // ~5 minutes before prior block
145047: 2011-09-12 15:53:36 // ~7 & ~12 minutes before 2 prior blocks
145048: 2011-09-12 16:04:06 // after 2 prior blocks but still before 145045

Ref.

So miners can vary the time stamp, the transaction IDs and even the block version number to tweak the output during hashing to gain mining efficiency?

You can't just change transaction IDs, TXID is just a double SHA of raw transactions and you need to change the signatures to change the TXID and changing anything about it makes the tx invalid!

P.S. I suggest moving this topic to "Development & Technical Discussion" board.

Maybe someday soon this year, I go crazy and open source Sharp Trader™. I've already have something like this (without charts).
The problem is that it takes too long to develope and I am super busy in life and only code as a hobby!
Right now I'm stuck at different methods of arbitrage and adding some more information to my GUI charts.
If you were interested you can see how it looks in my question in this board.
