861  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happened to the bitcoin transactions that never been confirmed? on: December 28, 2016, 11:30:50 PM
My friend told me that he transferred some bitcoins but since he paid low fee, the transaction is not confirmed after 10 hours. Will the transaction be ever confirmed?

Maybe, maybe not.

What happens if it never gets confirmed?

It stay unconfirmed until it either is confirmed or becomes invalid because its input(s) are used in a different transaction.

Is the transaction nullified and the fund return to sending address?

No, not really. Something similar is likely to happen if the fee is very low though. Transactions are kept in the memory of full nodes (called mempool). The default setting of bitcoin core is to drop transactions that are unconfirmed for over 72 hours. Once the majority of the network has forgotten about your transaction you can remove it from the wallet (how depends on the specific wallet) and safely create a new transaction.

What is the benefit of bitcoin core?

Both, Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Unlimited, are full nodes. Fulle nodes have advantages in terms of privacy (no address information is leaked) and security (more difficult to feed false data than SPV clients). If you dont run your full node in pruned mode you can also help others sync their node. If you accept inbound connections you provide information to SPV clients.

Die 3 Wallets müssten in Deinem Home Verzeichnis zu finden sein.
Also unter Linux

Code:
~/.electrum/wallets/

Unter Windows finden die Dateien sich in

Code:
%APPDATA%\Electrum\wallets

Kannst du so in "run/ausführen" (Win + R) eingeben und der Explorer öffnet sich im korrekten Ordner.

Hallo Community,

hab mir jetzt Electrum zugelegt und es ist eigentlich mehr oder weniger selbsterklärend. Allerdings verstehe ich da eine Sache nicht:

Wenn ich 3 Wallets besitze, dann haben alle 3 die selbe Empfängeradresse und diese ändern sich nach jeder Transaktion. Wie kann ich das denn einstellen, dass dann alle 3 Wallets unterschiedliche Empfängeradressen haben? Oder geht das nicht?

Gruß PH

Ist nur der Fall wenn alle 3 den selben Seed haben. Electrum hällt immer 20 ungenutzte Adresse vor, die kannst du dir über Wallet -> Addresses anzeigen lassen.

Is it possible that the miners will decide not just an empty math and solve the real problem of the type clotting or combining of proteins.

The proof of work algorithm does not "solve math", but yes it can be changed.

Hello. I don't understand something. My activity will grow up only after 14 days or weeks or will be updated every hour?

Both, the calculation will be done every hour. The result will only change if your "time" value changes[1], which happens when you post in certain time periods. You can see in the table botany linked when these periods start.

[1] unless for your account time*14 < posts

@snipie I see now the issue, the issue is the last space in the message which makes the signed message invalid.
Well i used my phone to signed the message using mycelium app. The extra space is probably because of the autocorrection on my Android keyboard.

This problem is so recurrent and it happened many times and will continue
Generally i come here too late to verify and quote the message but when it happens i start the verification with coinig.com which fails often then i have to added or remove spaces in bitcoin.com to get it to works (meanwhile the message got verified by someone else Smiley)
Anyway problem solved for Jemzx00 and thx smartlphone for the reply
Isn't coinig broken or something? I saw it in shorenas post in his guide to signing a message. If you get error in verifying using it you can use blocktrail instead.

Yes, coinig can not properly handle linebreaks and possibly other characters.
868  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum taking forever to confirm my bitcoin on: December 28, 2016, 07:29:05 AM
just be warned even paying a higher fee does not guarantee it being in the next block

just be warned even paying a higher fee does not magically make blocks get solved any faster

just be warned electrum servers may have issues at times(not synced) so best to also check other explorersand/or servers to be sure if the tx has confirmed or not.

FTFY.

@OP, can you post a transaction ID so we can take a look?

I followed Lutpin's opinion, what I can do to save my post?

What is the rules for this forum?

Where is the rules?

Who deleted that ?

http://archive.is/bJjLn

Arent you banned right now? Or do we have 7 hour bans now? You need to wait out your ban before you can do anything else, only exception is discussing your ban(!). This topic is already borderline ban evasion. You start going the same way your employer did. Take a break, come back when your ban is served.

I know my employer's feeling more with my personal experience.

He was trying hard and try to learn your rules. but finally lost.  time and time again . he become angry and impatient

And you see the result is

he is spamming.  

You are deleting his effort. and all his dream.  

These become a situation named " vicious circle".

I understand I cannot just scan online wallets without their permission. But let's stick to the security of HW wallets then.
How would I know how secure a HW wallet is? What points should I test to see it?

Not my area, but Id start with sniffing traffic. Wireshark works on USB connections as well. Might be interesting.

Hello
can any one of you guys tell me how quality my posts are cuz i wanna join Signature Campaigns
and dont know if my posts is that consecutive to accept me.
any help will be appreciate
cheers.

Maybe, let me read a few of your posts and write my thoughts about them as I go along. Maybe it can help you.



#1

Topic: best source of bitcoin.
Reply: #594

minning i dont have much knowledge about how this work but its any way un real currncy

What I read: Mining, but I have no clue what Im talking about.

If you have no idea what you are talking about, why do you post a suggestion at all? Its no help to anyone. At the very least post your reason why you personally think mining is a good way to get bitcoin. This allows others to correct you (if needed).



#2

Topic: any one can help
Reply: #1, #3, #5, #7, #12,

can any one tell me how to use bitcoin core qt without download the whole 40gbblol
that will end my internet storge:)

Make a better topic title. This one tells the person browsing the board nothing what the thread is about. Mabye "how to run bitcoin core with a small disk?" or "how to use bitcoin without downloading the blockchain?"

The thread goes as follows:

- you ask for help
- someone suggest you use a different client, IMHO thats a bad reply as it does not answer your question. Its like: "Hey, my bike is slow"; "use a car!"
- you say thanks, if that was the answer you looked for, lock the thread, signaling others that you are done here.
- some suggest you to use an online wallet, suggesting you use the bus is still no solution to your bike problem.
- you yap something about blockchain taking high fees, which again is offtopic and factually wrong. The wallet provider does not take the fee.
- something about fees.
- you: thanks, Im new; We already got that from your first post.
- sound advice about online wallets and fees, which maybe offtopic depending on what your actual question was
- IMHO bad advice about online wallets
- more about fees and online wallets
- more about fees
- you: thanks
- back to the topic(?), dont use bitcoin core (another use a car post)
- uhm, ill skip that
- (Lauda) pointing out bad avice given in the thread and actually answering your question (how to use core with a smal disk)
- fees
- borderline necro bump

This thread is a great example what I think is currently wrong with bitcointalk.org. This is about you though, so lets focus on what you could have done.

#1 For one, as said above, make a clear topic. This will attract more people that actually know their shit than a generic skiddy "need help, plox!!"(1112111".
#2 Next if someone offers you to use a car when you look for help with your bike, call them out on it and dont thank them. If a car or bus is the answer you were looking for, close the thread (bottom left IIRC).
#3 If you see you are misunderstood, reiterate your question in a different way. Maybe you didnt know what answer exactly you wanted.



#3

Straight shitposting:

didnt surfer of this error
looks like bugs in the website,your posts are some sorts of spam

Either that you failed to understand the topic, which was the amount of "action" (to use a different word) in a certain section of the board, not the activity number of the OP.
872  Other / Meta / Re: Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?) on: December 27, 2016, 06:29:28 PM
Can someone give a lamens terms on how the activity number is calculated please?

I get most of the explanation here:-

Quote
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)

Activity is updated ever hour.

I just don't understand the "posts" bit in the brackets and if the activity is updated every hour how come ive had 378 as my activity for the past 3 days? Or does it only change according to the table of two week increments already posted?

Thanks.

There are 3 variables in the above formula.

activity, time and post.

1 "time" is given to each account that posts at least once in one of the 14 day long periods for this variable. Posts is the number of posts you have made, regardless of the 14 day period.

Your activity is the smaller number of 14 * time and your posts. For the majority of users here the number posts is larger than time*14, thus their activity is limited by time. As your activity is updated hourly, your time is only increased every 14 days (for exact days and times, see the table you mentioned). Since time is what changes your activity, it will only change every 14 days as every recalculation in between results in the same number.
873  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: What does it mean "in memory pool, broadcast through 5 nodes" ? on: December 27, 2016, 02:46:23 PM
so is 5 nodes the minimum and it stops telling you anymore?  like it wont say "broadcast through 39 nodes" or anything like that.

Your node can only know its direct neighbours, so its limited to show you how many of those it send the transaction to. I am also not 100% but I think you dont broadcast to all nodes.
874  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Little bit confused about memory pool ? Help me out ! I will pay you. on: December 27, 2016, 01:45:46 PM
Confusion level : Medium

I WILL DONATE 0.003 BTC for a resourceful answer.. so please help out a noob.. i am a true bitcoin enthusiast

I understand that the miners confirm transactions from memory pool . Well...

Do the miners have their own memory pool ?

Yes, each full node has. Mempool are just all transactions stored in the nodes RAM.

or which mempool they get the transactions to confirm ?

How can you start a mempool ? Can anyone have a mempool that other miners can connect to ?

Yes, to have your own, run a full node, like e.g. bitcoin core.

Every time i look at different block explorer mempool size they all vary... So is there a central mempool where all the tx gets dumped as soon as it broadcast?

No, there is no central mempool, but transactions are passed along from node to node. If we all would stop creating new transactions for a few minutes, most mempool would be the same.

When i run bitcoin core wallet i see that i also have a mempool and its constantly increasing and decreasing after a block is found . So i does that mean i so have my own mempool that other miners are connected to ?

Maybe not miners directly, but other nodes yes.

Can i run a mempool and set some rules on which kind of transaction can be added to my mempool ?

You can modify your nodes rules in regards to which transactions are accepted and which are not, yes.

And i can honestly go on and on .. to be honest i understand that each time a tx is broadcasted it is added to mempool but considering there are so many of pools i am just confused about whats going on after broadcast

You send a transaction to all nodes you are connected to at the time. Each of them checks your transactions and if its sounds according to their rules, they store in memory (mempool) and broadcast it to other nodes. This continues until almost all nodes know about your transaction. A few of these nodes are miners and eventually confirm the transaction storing it forever in a bitcoin block.
875  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: What does it mean "in memory pool, broadcast through 5 nodes" ? on: December 27, 2016, 01:08:37 PM
Does that mean that only 5 other nodes know about the transaction until it is confirmed in a block, or does the amount of nodes keep increasing until a mining node sees it?

You send a transactions to the nodes you are connected to. These will verify the transaction to make sure its according to (their specific) rules. If its not, they drop it. If the transaction is sound to them, they will relay it to all other nodes they are connected to. It usually takes a few seconds until a transaction is known to all (mining) nodes.
876  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Signed message... breaking? on: December 27, 2016, 01:05:17 PM
I don't know if this can happen of course, but when using signed message to prove that you own something else than address, i saw some people doing that. So they could lie that they own something else while they don't?

They can write whatever they want. A signed message can not proof the message itself is true, it can only show you that its still the same person you trusted 2 years ago. Well, unless that person sold the private key to the address. Its not the holy grail of establishing trust, it can just be a piece in a bigger picture.
877  Other / Off-topic / Re: What tools of Kali Linux are the most useful? on: December 27, 2016, 12:57:00 PM

What tools would you use?

None, an attack on someones service without their written consent is usually illegal and can get you in trouble. If you want to learn, get some VMs to break into, like e.g. stapler and run them in your (virtual) lab.

But even then, person could just have old address with no bitcoins in it and lie in signature. Or this don't work like that?

What do you mean with "lie in signature"?
879  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Signed message... breaking? on: December 27, 2016, 12:09:31 PM
So i am writing with signed message question again, this time i couldn't find info.

So signed messages proves something, for example, that we are owner of wallet or account or something else(most common uses that i found on this forum), and everyone trusts it.

But what if person that signs it, lies about it? It shouldn't be hard to use tor, new wallet, and that's all. So why signed messages are so trusted?

A signed message is proof you control a certain bitcoin address, a new address wont do. You are usually asked to sign a message with a specific address that you controlled in the past.
880  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin address generation completely random? on: December 27, 2016, 10:27:47 AM
Well, the code says if it is not windows, then use time of the day as the seed:

Quote
    int64_t nCounter = 0;
#ifdef WIN32
    QueryPerformanceCounter((LARGE_INTEGER*)&nCounter);
#else
    timeval t;
    gettimeofday(&t, NULL);
    nCounter = (int64_t) t.tv_sec * 1000000 + t.tv_usec;
#endif
    return nCounter;

Therefore, if a linux machine is used, say, you do have a larger chance to get the seed right.

For windows, I don't know what is QueryPerformanceCounter function do.

Thats not the entire code.

Code:
void GetStrongRandBytes(unsigned char* out, int num)
{
    assert(num <= 32);
    CSHA512 hasher;
    unsigned char buf[64];

    // First source: OpenSSL's RNG
    RandAddSeedPerfmon();
    GetRandBytes(buf, 32);
    hasher.Write(buf, 32);

    // Second source: OS RNG
    GetOSRand(buf);
    hasher.Write(buf, 32);

    // Produce output
    hasher.Finalize(buf);
    memcpy(out, buf, num);
    memory_cleanse(buf, 64);
}
