Well I think Philip has some power he was thinking of renting and some other members so it might be something worth looking into.
The reason people use nice hash is convenience though they have had a somewhat iffy past.

Also the amount of hashpower user farms may have might not be large enough and again there's quite a fair amount available via Nicehash
Yeah, I get the convenience factor. I use to do my home mining to it way back and general GPU's for how easy it was, but after the hack haven't done much except for what was needed to keep my balance active.

When your talking 1+PH for a day or two it makes it a bit easier to work with a large farm or user, still the convenience will be with nicehash but working one-one you cut them out.

I could probably part with a few PH for a week or so if Phillip or anyone else wanted to avoid nicehash.



Lets put it to the group once we have a full list again I would be happy to see community members earning for there hash rate rather than random's on Nicehash so it's a good idea.

Maybe Philip will pipe in with some of his legendary mathematics on rates, since he is the guru at the numbers.

7 places to fill some members are holding off this round as they just had an attempt.

SO much wisdom here thank you friend.

So can I get my BTC back by logging into mainnet? Where do i do that
//

Head to Electrum in the Windows Start menu (if your windows user). there you should will see a shortcut with testnet and another one without open the one non-testnet client.

I have seen this error with altcoins before or trying to send to a NON Bitcoin address.

Double check the address your sending to is also valid Bitcoin address.

Some steps you should take if the above is not correct.

1. Backup your wallet file make a copy of it and put it somewhere safe.
2. Open your wallet file > new/restore and and recover from seed and try again.

Please report back once you have checked the above.


The keys are Pay To PubKey Hash (P2PKH}

Also make sure you only download Electrum from the OFFICIAL source

745  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Keyless encryption and passwordless authentication on: January 07, 2020, 12:32:57 PM
Penetration and surveillance systems are developing.
We must consider their capabilities when developing encryption products.

Literally everything is being observed and analyzed:
- the level of power consumption;
- keystroke sounds (information is remotely taken off window panes - by laser);
- electromagnetic background of the monitor, allowing at a distance (about 300 meters) to determine the area of the mouse movement on the screen or move the active items "menu" windows;
- modulation of electromagnetic radiation at the points of mechanical contacts of electrical connectors (for example, a 3.5 jack from a headset inserted into the device, modulates the useful signal to the frequency of radiation of the device processor and successfully demodulates at a distance);
- removing information from the LED light bulb to signal system access to the PC hard drive (via a hidden spyware pre-installed on the PC. This is exactly what the Israeli intelligence agencies did with the help of a drone helicopter, which captures information through a window from the winchester LED at speeds of up to 6000 bits per second).


For these reasons, the system is designed in such a way that an external observer is not able to learn about the change in operating modes of our encryption system, through monitoring and analysis of power consumption. Unfortunately, this information can be obtained remotely by special means, and we take this into account.

I read about that LED hacking being able to read info from the LED of the machine or router was a rather un-nerving thought

Exfiltrartion via Router  -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSNt4h7EDKo&feature=youtu.be

Not something many people think about but is a valid attack vector and is in the wild now.

The above one is actually passing out some info if you are able to slow it down some more to capture it.

And this is a live attack with this very technique with drones.

746  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scammed 2.81 BTC Coinbase give away. ...They got me. Don't let them get you on: January 07, 2020, 09:33:26 AM
Very sorry to hear you lost money to the scammers I have seen a lot of crypto give away videos on there that seems to be just pre-recorded footage being played I saw one that was targeted at Binance users that asked them to send funds to a "gift" address and depending on what they sent they would get additional funds back.

I'm afraid there is nothing coinbase will do to help you and there is no way to recover you funds i'm afraid.

You should note than ALL these giveaway's or send coins to us for more coins back is just too good to be true and should be avoided at all cost.

I would report the video to youtube if I was you and ask them to submit it to the Police for further investigation.
You should also report this scam to your local police office it may not help you get your funds back but it may lead to the arrest of the people behind the scam.

Sorry for your loss and good luck.

You posted so little info it's hard not to call it a scam.
I think many members here will also come and red trust you unless you provide proper proofs

also how was I to know about your previous ventures?  your account has been asleep for so long and has NO context or post's about your claims.

I am protecting members of the forum.

Until more info is supplied and is verified the red trust shall remain.

Sorry but if you were a legit service you should have posted proof right out the gate.. the fact you didn't is also a red flag.

754  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Finding total number of BTC wallets starting from selected prefix on: January 06, 2020, 06:39:48 PM
What you could do is download the chain and setup bitcoin ABE locally then scrape with a custom script for the address prefixes.
I have yet to see something like this to scrape  for specific addresses from the chain.

Another thing you could do is setup ABE and scrape the data to a MySQL data base I did this in the past took a few weeks to actually populate the data here is a guide below how to setup Bitcoin ABE  and setup the database.


Code:
    SETUP

  :Required:

Ubuntu, MySQL Python, MySQL Client, MySQL Server, Python, Python2, Blockchain,

Downloading the bitcoin blockchain two options. 

1. Download & Install bitcoin core wallet and sync with network


################################################################################

Install Python MySQL


$ sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb

    Install MySQL Client & Server

$ sudo apt-get install mysql-client mysql-server

To configure the MySQL instance with InnoDB engine support. 
If you installed with Debian/Ubuntu then InnoDB is enabled by default. 
To check for InnoDB support, issue "SHOW ENGINES" and look in the output
for "InnoDB" with "YES" next to it.  If "skip-innodb" appears in the server
configuration (my.cnf or my.ini) then remove it and restart the server.

################################################################################

SETUP MYSQL

Log into MySQL as root (i.e: mysql -u root) and give commands.
Don't forget to change the PASSWORD

    create database abe;
    CREATE USER 'abe'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE';
    grant all on abe.* to abe;

The above will

1.  Create a database called abe
2.  Create a user called abe for localhost with the password you enter above
3.  Will grant all permisions to abe for abe user


################################################################################

DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL BITCOIN-ABE

This will allow you to check getrecievedbyaddress calls quickly without being rate limited by online API checkers.

$ git clone https://github.com/bitcoin-abe/bitcoin-abe.git
cd bitcoin-abe
python setup.py install

once installed open file abe.conf
(Included is a copy of the file with section uncommented all you need to do is edit the password and DB info if you changed it)
If You use the original config file from abe you will need to follow steps below and uncomment and modify lines.

################################################################################

abe.conf GUIDE

uncomment lines 33 & 34 and update line 34 with your password / user and db info for MySQL

# MySQL example; see also README-MYSQL.txt:
dbtype MySQLdb
connect-args {"user":"abe","db":"abe","passwd":"YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE"}

Uncomment lines 57 & 58

# Specify port and/or host to serve HTTP instead of FastCGI:
port 2750
host localhost

This will open port 2750 on localhost to allow the wallet checker to connect to the API

Next scroll down to the section where datadir is listed, you must specifiy the path to the blockchain directory this path should contain the bitcoin.conf & blocks & chainstate folders.

Uncomment Lines 136 / 137 / 139 / 140
**Do not uncomment line 138 "loader"**  as we are not caling via RPC rather via the API and http request to gettecievedbyaddress + addy

datadir += [{
        "dirname": "/path/to/blockchain",
#        "loader": "rpc",    # See the comments for default-loader below.
        "chain": "Bitcoin"
      }]

################################################################################

START THE IMPORT

You can now start to load the data to abe from the blockchain run the following command from the bitcoin-abe-master dir

$ python -m Abe.abe --config abe.conf --commit-bytes 100000 --no-serve --datadir /path/to/blockchain

You should see output like:

block_tx 1 1
    block_tx 2 2
block_tx 3 3
    block_tx 4 4
block_tx 5 5
    block_tx 6 6
block_tx 7 7
    block_tx 8 8

( THIS PROCESS WILL TAKE A VERY LONG TIME POSSIBLY 2-6 DAYS DEPENDING ON YOUR SYSTEM SPEC )

You can stop the process at any time and re-start the load will continue from the last block loaded after checking the chain.
The data that is loaded can also be used to search while data in importing but only up to the latest block number processed.

Next step can be done now if you want to scan small search space or wait for full import of data before continuing.


################################################################################

CHECK MYSQL

Go back to MySQL and log in and type

mysql> use abe;

mysql> show tables;

Output will show.

+-----------------+
| Tables_in_abe   |
+-----------------+
| abe_lock        |
| block           |
| block_next      |
| block_seq       |
| block_tx        |
| block_txin      |
| chain           |
| chain_candidate |
| chain_seq       |
| chain_summary   |
| configvar       |
| datadir         |
| datadir_seq     |
| multisig_pubkey |
| orphan_block    |
| pubkey          |
| pubkey_seq      |

| txout_approx    |
| txout_detail    |
| txout_seq       |
| unlinked_tx     |
| unlinked_txin   |
+-----------------+



################################################################################


LAUNCH BITCOIN ABE (LOCALHOST)

If you have this working you can now launch ABE from the bitcoin-abe-master dir to view the api in localhost.

$ python -m Abe.abe --config abe.conf

Open browser and navagate to: localhost:2750 

You should now see the ABE block explorer running.

Suggestions  don't collect 10x .250 = 2.5 btc

collect 10 x .1 = 1

or 10 x .125 = 1.25

don't send  all to the renting service.

rent 1/3 then 1/3 then 1/3

many renting services have skipped out.

it took me dec 29 to jan5 to spend the .125

at nice hash.

but I never had more then .45 btc in nicehash's hands.

remember they claimed to have had 4000+ btc stolen in dec 2017

and they stopped paying it back about a month ago.

good luck with this.


I agree with the not sending it all to Nicehash in one go small and often is the key here.

I also agree that we should keep it to the original rental game of or 10 x .125 = 1.25

Would that be OK if you were still the custodian of the block reward phill if we continue to rent to the "fools" address?

I'm more than happy to go ahead with this once we iron out the details.

Here is a list for round 2


Code:
CK Solo Hunt - Paid Members - Join Fee 0.125 BTC

1) hiaxis 0.125 BTC - Payment Pending
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10)

Once we have the list of name I will make a collection address
DO NOT SEND FUNDS TO ANYONE IN PM PLEASE.
I will include all TXID's for payment in the list.

Got to try at least once a year.

I'm also tossing a 10 Ph/s rental for the next 12 hours.

If people are interested I could make a list if Philip is not available to do another one (I know he's a busy guy with his machines)
I would be happy to control the rentals and we could point it to the same account you were all mining too previously meaning if there were a hit Philip would be the main man to make the payout's.  I would just monitor the rental and post updates as per the previous attempt.

I'll await his reply and that of the other participants.
