<snip stuff>Those scammers are immediately tagged with -ve trust which becomes quite obvious and then their sites and the people themselves are no longer trusted<snip stuff>
Nobody has bothered to do this with Diggit.io, the main reason for OP's wrath, which is showing all the signs of being abandoned by its admin (and suffering major withdrawal problems) Cryptofuture (quite apt name, seeing as he appears to have been thinking ahead) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=165520and accomplice oldmate (another apt name for Diggit #1 Investor) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=401759who apparently impressed one of our Hero members enough to inspire "This person deserve my complete trust"If you read the thread there's a few Heros who don't really look very heroic, in hindsight.... Funny world the gambling scene, lending in troll boxes; Satoshi would be proud. Anyway, I have left negative for the two of them so far, only mine won't make much difference but should be done by DT member really. If they have run off with the amounts talked about, they won't be selling the accounts or using them again but still, we got to show we care, don't we? Guess I will open up a scam accusation if no one else does once I gather some data for it. edit: Here is the thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1205470.0 It would be great if people could help get some info on these guys to include in the thread. Then have some people on DT to neg them. |

I like the idea of armory cold storage and offline transactions but I'm relucant to use as I don't know what would happen in the following sernario.
You create new wallet, save encrypted and watch only wallets to usb stick, you import watch only wallet and generate new public adderesses.
Later your pc with your watch only wallet and new generated public adderess dies taking your wallet with it.
If your still have your orignal encrypted wallet and your former watch only wallet without the newly generated public keys on your usb stick, what happens to your bitcoin sent to those adderesses and would they even show up on a fresh install and import of your former watch only wallet?
Many Thanks,
Gibbo42
Yes. Armory uses HD (hierarchical deterministic) wallets which means that as long as you have the same wallet file the same addresses will still be generated. |

Hello All
I just completed my first steps with coinbase.com this afternoon. I am pretty literate w/computers but new to bit coin. So far, it looks like I can buy and send BTC's from coinbase. Am I wrong?
I still have to wait 48 hrs until I can proceed, but do have questions.... Someone said to set-up an Blockchain wallet and I did, but do I really need to? If a forum member could assist me with these questions, I would be deeply grateful.....Try not do beat me up to bad on my first post..... Also, Hello to everyone and I am happy to be here. This is a new but exciting venture for me.....
Sincerely,
MoneyHungry
coinbase is a wallet, and it also lets you buy and sell Bitcoin for different normal (fiat) currencies. You can also send bitcoin and receive bitcoin to your coinbase wallet. Coinbase has its limitations, which it shares with most web wallets. Coinbase controls the private keys, which are the most important things related to spending and owning Bitcoin. If someone has access to the private keys, that means that they can spend the Bitcoin. This means that it is theoretically possible for coinbase or someone who hacks coinbase to steal your Bitcoin (although they are insured so you won't actually lose any money). blockchain.info is a service which is generally really crappy. They are one of the few web wallets which do not actually control your private keys. Rather they encrypt them on their servers so only someone with the password to the wallet (you) can access them. I would recommend that you actually use a desktop wallet like Bitcoin Core or electrum. Bitcoin Core is a full node, which means it verifies and validates every transaction and block. It also stores every block ever in the blockchain, which takes 40+ Gb of storage space. It can also take ages to sync, but it is quite secure. Electrum is SPV, so it does not download the whole blockchain and it does not validate every transaction and block. Instead, it connects to a server and requests transactions from that server. This of course means that you have to trust that server to give you the right data and that the stuff it gives you is verified and valid. |

This is what I get running these commands: root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# umount /dev/sdb1
umount: /cdrom: target is busy
(In some cases useful info about processes that
use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1).)
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# echo "/dev/sdb1 /cdrom vfat rw,noatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro,uid=999,gid=999 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# mount /dev/sdb1
mount: /dev/sdb1 is already mounted or /cdrom busy
/dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /cdrom
I also run "System Monitor" application and it shows that no process is using the device. Make sure that you close everything that could possible have it open (e.g. gparted) |

Since when did gambling become a criminal activity?
In certain countries (e.g. US) it is illegal to gamble online. But that begs the question as to whose laws are we going to follow? |

If you'd like to know what's your user's primary group, normally it will be the same name as your username, but you can check this by running as regular user: ~ id
uid=1000(myuser) gid=1000(mygroup) ... or as root: # id myuser
uid=1000(myuser) gid=1000(mygroup) ... I get a syntax error with this code. the commands are without the ~ or # and the second line is just the output. So really, what you should type into the terminal is this where myuser is your username |

OK, I'm going to back up a little. As suggested by kpitti, I'll stick with one question/topic at a time. Seems like a reasonable approach.
I have been using Coinbase since it seemed to be the easiest to use for people like myself, but I really don't feel secure with it - or any other exchange bc I don't understand the technology. I thought I was correct in trusting that my bitcoins were totally secure on a paper wallet, barring my losing it or letting someone get ahold of it or my key. But I'm not sure about that. For example, if Coinbase goes the way of Mt. Gox (some people lost everything gox was holding for them, right?), are my bitcoins lost to me for good? Or is the paper wallet (or equivalent, i.e. usb storage etc.) proof of my btc on the blockchain itself and therefore title to those bitcoins? I apologize if my understanding of all this is totally erroneous!
ps - I'm in the middle of Digital Gold right now, trying to get some sense of the evolution and terminology...
With coinbase, your bitcoin are not necessarily safe. Coinbase has control of your private keys, which means that they can also spend your Bitcoin. If they should scam, or be hacked, someone could spend your bitcoin for you and you would lose all of it. However, if you use a desktop wallet (or any wallet that is not a web wallet), then a paper wallet backup will be safe. |

I would sell 3 of the 2013 accounts for 0.15, still taking offers.
how about those 3 for 0.1? |

Here is another version of mine. It still requires txindex but this time it will do multithreading to hopefully run faster. usage: Tool which scrapes the entire blockchain for all of the pubkeys of all transactions
Requires bitcoind (or Bitcoin Core with daemon enabled) and txindex=1 to be set in Bitcoin.conf
Usage: pubkeyscraper <rpcuser> <rpcpassword> [threads] [rpcport] [rpcurl]
<rpcuser> Required. User of the Bitcoin-RPC server set in bitcoin.conf
<rpcpassword> Required. Password of the Bitcoin-RPC server set in bitcoin.conf
[threads] Optional. Number of threads to run, should be the same as the number of rpcthreads of the Bitcoin-RPC server. Default 4.
[rpcport] Optional. Port of the Bitcoin-RPC server set in bitcoin.conf. Default is 8332
[rpcurl] Optional. URL or IP address of Bitcoin-RPC server. Default is http://127.0.0.1 Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxw3ip9QfNOUY3EwS0Z3RUxqanc/view?usp=sharing |

I'll offer you 0.015 for both accounts.

When you install, if their is an installation wizard, set the installation directory to a folder in sdb1. If it is just binaries you downloaded, just copy them to a folder on sdb1 and run the program from there.
If I try to change the installation directory, I see the following error message: Cannot obtain a lock on data directory /cdrom. Bitcoin Core is probably already running. No such file or directory.
For bitcoin core specifically, just copy all of the binaries to a folder in sdb1 and run the program from there.
If I try to copy the binaries to a folder in /cdrom I get the following message: The folder “bin” cannot be copied because you do not have permissions to create it in the destination.first shut down bitcoin core. Then check your permissions. Make sure that you have permission to copy things to /cdrom. Make sure that you have permissions to even move the bin folder. |

I'll guess that the messages are engraved as notes on transactions sent from an address? If so, do you have the transaction IDs for these transactions?
If not, would you mind sharing how the site works? It's an interesting concept.
It looks like all of the messages are being set to 12xrHyaQwTJvEi5F1vsbHzYco35f1ySr8Y. From the second output of the transaction and onwards, the string of hex between OP_1 and OP_2 in each output is text encoded in hex. That text is the message. If you put the hex into any hex editor, you will get the message. |

Now I am very confused. Looking at the commit history of the github, the saracen account was creating commits very early in Bitcoin's development, along with sirius-m. Maybe that was Satoshi? But it was creating commits before the saracen account was created. Perhaps satoshi created that account and then deleted it so someone else claimed the account? If you hover over the name in the commit list it shows it as "s_nakamoto"

well, thats your opinion based on your perceptions of thing. im not saying it was but implying that the result are similar..  anything that touches Txs time it takes to be validated even if its thru spoofing of the Tx IDs is related in that it creates zombie blocks. im trying to get experienced developers to think about solutions, and sharing news about updates to further ameliorate this blockchain services... my thought was this; wouldnt a similar replace-by-fee process be developed to ensure if but the Tx IDs difer but the rest of the block hash is equal to the highest fee, than just would make ignore the other spoofed Ids, make the problem go away ?  Nope. Replace-by-fee means that another transaction spending the same inputs is sent, but with a higher fee. It is just another normal transaction, which amaclin (or anyone else) with an automated script can and will just mutate it just like any other transaction. It doesn't help except to create more backlog in the mempool. What replace-by-fee does help with is with those idiots who send transactions thinking they can get away with low or no fees at all. Replace-by-fee allows them to resend the transaction with a higher fee so that it can actually be confirmed. |

Great, ill be waiting!
But, please... why you are not accepting a knightdk solution? Are you tried to use more RPC threads and point bitcoind to unresponsive proxy address? Maybe you can get better results. Yes, im using rpcthreads=1000 and the connection is direct no proxy ( all localhost ) but it is very slow. Maybe you can play with blockparser rawdump.cpp , transaction scripts code is there. but need some cleanup from other unwanted things. Yeah, I know my solution was very very slow. I will update it to do multiple threads and see if that works any faster. It was running on a single thread. |

I wonder if that particular ppa isn't updated very often, if that's why the dependencies couldn't be installed (perhaps because newer versions are already installed on your system or something along those lines). Anyway, I'm glad you got it figured out.
I personally performed a clean Ubuntu 15.04 installation. Then, I replicated the same steps that HardcoreSuperstar did, and I did not have that dependencies problems. The PPA is updated in each bitcoin-qt revision, If I'm not confused. I would like to know if you are able to install any other package: Try doing: apt-get install <some-package> - (for example: apt-get install build-essential) Because this problem might not be PPA or bitcoin-qt-package related, but I misconfiguration in Ubuntu and the package manager itself. Do this if you would like to further continue diagnosing. The problem hardcoresuperstar had is not a problem with the ppa, but a problem with his install of Ubuntu. At some point during the installation or during use, something happened that misconfigured something so that he gets all of those dependency errors. |

When you install, if their is an installation wizard, set the installation directory to a folder in sdb1. If it is just binaries you downloaded, just copy them to a folder on sdb1 and run the program from there. If you are installing with an apt-get command, I don't think it is possible to change the installation directory. For bitcoin core specifically, just copy all of the binaries to a folder in sdb1 and run the program from there. If you want to also have the data for bitcoin core on sdb1, then use -datadir=<path to datadir> to specify the directory. <path to datadir> is obviously where you put the path to that directory. You should also change the PATH environment variable to include the folders where you put the installed programs at so that you can run them from anywhere. |
