881  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I need a better cheap solution to a paper wallet on: November 18, 2016, 04:31:20 AM
If you are fine with using linux do the following:
1. Download a linux distro (you can go with Ubuntu)
2. Download Electrum or any wallet of your liking
3. Buy a USB stick (at least 2GB, but 4 and up is suggested)
4. Put the linux ISO on the USB stick and add persistant
5. Turn your router off and disable network inside that linux OS
6. Install the wallet on your linux
7. Now you have a cold storage that you can spend from

I can make a detailed tutorial with screenshots if there is enough interest in it but it will take time

I guess this might help you...
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1616888.0

Check it out..
And Yes it is possible.  Smiley

hehe! Thanks for taking an interest in my project but as the title suggests it is a "Watch-Only" wallet and it is used to keep tabs on your bitcoin addresses, balances and price.

What OP was looking for was a real bitcoin wallet, i assume with functionality to create addresses with private keys, sending (signing) transactions from, and all that.

Version 2.0.0 is complete, and will be merged as soon as I find some time to test it (It has been a busy month).

https://github.com/Coding-Enthusiast/Watch-Only-Bitcoin-Wallet/tree/MVVM

*click to view full size*

Included in this version:
  • Code is following the MVVM pattern!
  • Every bitcoin address is checked to make sure it is a valid base58 address
  • GUI changed to GridView to make Add/Edit/Remove Function easier
  • MainWindow now has hotkeys for Saving (Ctrl+S), Opening Settings (F2), Opening Help (F1)
  • Added a new option in SettingsWindow to get bitcoin price from 2 different exchanges (bitfinex and btc-e)

As always feel free to leave any suggestion, feedback, request,... here or on GitHub.
884  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: HELP - password electrum on: November 14, 2016, 04:53:02 AM
When you first install Electrum and run it for the first time it checks the wallet default location which is C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\wallets on windows and if it can find a wallet then starts using it. From what you said I think Electrum has found a wallet there, probably from your last install and started using it.

If that wallet is password protected, the only way you can access your funds is knowing the password or remembering the seed you had the first time you installed that wallet.

There is also an option to brute force the password and try cracking it but that requires you to know at least something about the password.
For example know that it is 10 letters with a name "Termo" and number "462" in it. If you know nothing about the password, then nothing can be done.
885  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Is Electrum 2.6.3 safe to generate keys? on: November 08, 2016, 05:10:18 AM
Ok but has anyone tested it except the main dev, how many people are testing the software for bugs and errors?

If by "test" you mean using the wallet, e.g installing 2.6.3, transacting bitcoin, updating to newer versions, continue using, report bugs on bitcointalk/reddit/GitHub; then yes a lot of people are doing it.

If by "test" you mean check the code and see if there is any bug in it then there are 6 developers who have more than 50 commits, and a total of 136 contributors to the open source code
ref: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/graphs/contributors
and I am sure there has been others who checked the code over the years and would have or already have reported bugs.

What about the make_seed command, do you think that has changed since 2.6.3 ? Or is it safe to generate on 2.6.3 with this command?

You could have easily gone on GitHub and read the Release-Notes:
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES#L1-L115

As you can see there were no issues with seeds generated on 2.6.3

There were some bugs introduced with for example 2.7.5 the utf8 bug for password extended seeds (a new feature in 2.7 versions) which are removed now.
887  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [C#][Github] Watch Only Bitcoin Wallet. Keep track of balance and price. on: November 05, 2016, 12:10:46 PM
@doof Thanks a lot for your feedback.

If  you have an enum, use it instead of a string in the get method.  Thats what its for.

I am still new to C♯ and definitely to MVVM and the reason why I did that was because I got an error in my view (MainWindow) xaml file which was unable to resolved the dependency! This and some other bugs/problems are the reason why I have not yet merged that branch.

But I like the follow up about open/closed principle after reading more about it.
So should it be like this:
In ViewModel:
Code:
....
if(//bitfinex is selected)
   IPriceClient MyClient = new BitfinexService();
else if (//some other one is selected)
   IPriceClient MyClient = new SomeOtherService();
.....
price = Myclient.GetPriceAsync();
In Services:
Code:
public class BitfinexService : ...
...
public class SomeOtherService : ...

...simple and short flowchart...
Do you know average person can have problem reading this? Bitcoin community should understand that, because they are above average, but if someone is new, and need to choose wallet, he will have hard times understanding this Tongue

I have tried to make it as simple as possible so it is easily understandable by anyone even with no bitcoin knowledge. So I believe what you say is not completely right here.

And unless you have any suggestions or problem with something in particular, your comment here is not constructive.
889  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [C#][Github] Watch Only Bitcoin Wallet. Keep track of balance and price. on: November 01, 2016, 12:19:06 PM
A feature that would be nice to add is when you receive a transaction, It keeps the current price and also  the real-time price. It could be really useful to know how much Bitcoin was worth it in the past and compared to now. Columns should look something like this. (also USD balance should be in the GridView) and settings should allow users to choose what currency they want (USD , EURO , etc.. )

Quote
Name | Address | Balance | USD Balance | Worth when received funds


For that I am going to need access to price history of each hour or at least a medium price of days. I can't find this on Bitfinex API nor on Btc-e. Did not check any other place for price history though.

I will think about adding a new column for Balance in USD

Some wallets have withradwal tresholds, so what if you no longer want tgeir service and would want to withdraw everything. Is that possible?

Anyone please.

- I am not using web wallets like Coinbase or Xapo and those are the only wallets that can have such thing as withdrawal threshold. You have to read their ToS on the respective websites.
- Besides don't forget that the suggestion is only for cases that you want to keep "small amount" in these sites so withdrawal threshold should not apply in this case.
891  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [C#][Github] Watch Only Bitcoin Wallet. Keep track of balance and price. on: November 01, 2016, 09:20:40 AM
Nice project.
I have some suggestions here:
- maybe add a recent bitcoin price will be great.
- I want it in android version so bad Cheesy
- notification when a transaction come.

- Already made possible from the Settings Window, using bitfinex and btc-e APIs:

- Maybe someday Wink
- This is possible with a WebSocket API which I think Blockchain.info has. So i guess that can be done but for the next version.
892  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [C#][Github] Watch Only Bitcoin Wallet. Keep track of balance and price. on: October 31, 2016, 08:55:37 AM
Version 2 is getting ready for release:

Major new features:
  • Code is following the MVVM pattern now
  • The wallet GUI is using the GridView which gives a more excel like view making it easier to add/edit/remove items.
  • Input validation is added to prevent user from entering an invalid bitcoin address

I want to work a little bit more on the code so I am still not merging this with the main branch. But you can see the development on the MVVM branch
Feel free to give me any suggestions or requests. 
893  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Auto Trading bot + it's SOURCE CODE on: October 29, 2016, 10:50:12 AM

That is much better.
A couple of additional suggestions:
  • Your link is https://github.com/Voladimer13/BTC-E-Trader---Source-Code without the ".git" that is for cloning (downloading the whole repo)
  • Read the link i gave you on stackoverflow to do it much easier and faster from inside Visual Studio.
  • You need to add a ".gitignore" file to exclude "binaries (.exe)" and that unnecessary ".rar" file which you have. There is no need to make a separate archive file git with make it automatically from the repository when you use that link with ".git" at the end. And if you want to keep a history of releases you can do something like this https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/releases from your "Releases" tab.

p.s. I am a bit busy these days with multiple project at hand (learning and developing at the same time) but I will make sure to check out the code in detail and contribute if I can.
For now I suggest you should look into .gitignore and what you should and should not include.


First impression:
Is it your own code or did you copy it from somewhere? Why is it checking for new version from sourceforge?

The code is too crowded.
e.g. frmMain.cs file is 2201 lines. Separate the business logic and GUI, Look into using WPF (xaml) instead of winforms and also take a look in MVVM pattern. Reading all this code in one place mixed with GUI is not easy and will cause lots of bugs and makes maintaining and updating code impossible.

Warning: This may or may not be scam!

There are a couple of things wrong here. Which are making this whole thing shady.

  • Why a short link for downloading?
  • Why torrent?
  • Is it the source code?
  • You have vouch/bump from two throwaway newbie accounts!
  • Why not upload it like a normal person on a normal code sharing site like GitHub so anyone can see, review and report back, and also most importantly contribute.

I liked the screenshot (how the bot looks) but I will never download it unless the source code is uploaded on GitHub so that I can go through the code with ease.
896  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Simple FlowChart to choose a bitcoin wallet (open to suggestions) on: October 28, 2016, 02:32:35 PM
I would add another decision: "Are convenience and ease of use important?"
I would not recommend Bitcoin Core or Armory if convenience and ease of use are important.

Convenience and Ease of use is in the heart of the last Diamond shape asking about the internet speed and storage space.
The purpose of a flowchart is never to go through all the small details of everything, and I have tried to make mine as simple as possible so that if you don't know anything about bitcoin you can take a look and get a "general idea".

I would change the font to something more readable. Especially the contrast.
I agree with the above quote, you should make it a little more readable so that everyone should see it clearly without getting their eyes near to the screen or zooming etc.

This is how you see it on the forum because of the restrictions of resolution and being in-line. I have also added a width tag to the image so it is smaller in order to prevent crowding all the space in the post.
You should click on it (it is an imgur.com link) and see the image in the real size which is 2000x1365 pixels and I believe it is more than enough for being readable. If not I can upload the original resolution of 9124x6193 pixels!

I did change the colors and the font a little bit though. (check OP)

Some advice :
1. Give good example of mobile/web/hardware wallet because not all of them are good choice.
2. I think bitcoin core and armory should be chosen if they want maximum security, anonymity or willing to run full nodes.
3. We know that most web wallet also comes with mobile version, so it would be great to ask if they only want mobile wallet (such as electrum) or both of them (such as coinbase) because those wallet offer different level of security, anonymity and features.

1) Added.
2) That is not right. bitcoin core or Armory does not provide any addition security that you can't get from other wallet options like an SPV wallet (Electrum or Multibit) or paper wallet.
3) I try to stuff in as much information as I can without crowding the flowchart making it hard to follow.

Little bit suggestion from me is give some level to bitcoin wallet product which presenting the excess and the deficiency.

Can you give me an example with more details?
897  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Running Electrum through the WINDOWS command prompt on: October 27, 2016, 03:26:44 PM
This may not be so relevant to your questions but there is a Console tab when you open Electrum where you can type in commands such as help() which brings up the list of all commands you can use:

Quote
List of commands: check_seed, contacts, create, createmultisig, createrawtransaction, decoderawtransaction, decrypt, deseed, dumpprivkeys, encrypt, freeze, getaddressbalance, getaddresshistory, getaddressunspent, getbalance, getconfig, getmpk, getprivatekeys, getproof, getpubkeys, getrawtransaction, getseed, getservers, getutxoaddress, getversion, help, history, importprivkey, ismine, listaddresses, listunspent, make_seed, mksendmanytx, mktx, password, payto, paytomany, restore, searchcontacts, sendrawtransaction, setconfig, setlabel, signmessage, signtxwithkey, signtxwithwallet, sweep, unfreeze, validateaddress, verifymessage

and then you can use each of these inside that Console.

Instead of naming all the wallets, and for brevity I've added the link with its QR (for ease of use) to the top.
899  Other / Beginners & Help / Simple FlowChart to choose a bitcoin wallet (open to suggestions) on: October 25, 2016, 05:34:13 PM
I have made a simple and short flowchart to help with choosing a bitcoin wallet.
Tell me what you think about it and how can it be improved.

It is a Microsoft Word Document (.docx format) that I can also share after it is finished and if anyone was interested.

900  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Error "object of type" on: October 24, 2016, 05:50:51 PM
Which version were you using when you first get this error? There was a bug in early 2.7.x version that causes the same symptoms. Try updating electrum and restore your wallet from seed.

It is in 2.7.0 or 2.7.1 and is similar to this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1637501.0 (also)

Upgrade to latest version should fix this.
