9282  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If CoinWallet.eu is stressing BTC... Do you support stressing CoinWallet.eu? on: September 02, 2015, 07:22:12 PM
Stress testing a product is part of every sound engineering process that wants to improve a product and make it more robust. While very inconvenient when this happens it can only get out stronger. The problem here is that testnet can't simulate every real cases.

No.

You and I both know sound engineering isn't the reasoning behind these attacks.  They are attacking the network trying to force a sketchy ass fix.

Perhaps Coinwallet.eu could use some stress testing on their product to assure their engineering is sound... you know... to help make it more robust.  Roll Eyes

A decentralized system can't be improved without receiving attacks that reveals vulnerabilities. People don't give a shit until shit happens, that's a cold reality specially when improvements are hard to make. Bitcoin is supposed to be a robust open system that can handle the behaviours of every bad actors. If it can't, it's because bitcoin is not robust enough.
Why is it necessary for them to "stress test" it a third time? They have already done it once, someone else (or perhaps still them) did it again some time after that. Why do they need to do it a third time when absolutely nothing has changed since the last "stress test"? We already know what happens, what is the point of doing it again?

I have been using coinbase but want to run bitcoin-qt but is there a way to run it in the terminal so it downloads quicker?
Running it in the terminal will not make it download the blockchain any faster. The code is all the same. You should use the latest version of Bitcoin Core and leave it open until it finishes syncing. A faster internet speed and cpu will make it go faster of course.
9284  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How much space required for a fresh download of blockchain on: September 02, 2015, 07:13:58 PM
Hi

Had a problem with my wallet and its had to reindex the blockchain from scratch, keeps getting stuck around 9 weeks saying not enough space

How much hardrive space would I need as looks like I will need to buy a seperate Hardrive now

Thanks guys
You need 50+ Gb for the entire data directory which includes the blockchain. You should have a lot of extra space.
9285  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: What is the minimum amount of money needed for faucet on: September 02, 2015, 04:29:31 PM
You will need to have a few btc to start a faucet. Probably at least 1.

Google AdSense usually works, but there are also many ad networks that pay with bitcoin.

Your can also sell ad space to people who want to advertise their own referrals.
9286  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Wallet loading problems, please help! on: September 02, 2015, 04:25:23 PM
How many connections do you have? If you don't have any connections, you need to open the correct ports on your computer and the router. Having no connections is probably why you have the error.

I hope someone makes sure the whole event gets video taped. Montreal is way too far for me. However I would like to see as much as possible from that conference.
Furthermore I hope this will be a honest and really open minded debate. No shilly-shallying anymore.We need solutions!
It is being live streamed so someone will probably record it if they aren't already. Other people can still participate in online discussion they are hosting.

ISP: Consolidated Communications, Inc.
# of Connections: 1 (In: 1 / Out: 0)
No bars in the right corner of any color

I may need to break down and get my own internet service to get this download completed. I think the problem is with the apartment complex' modem and I can't reconfigure it. Any further ideas? You have been immensely helpful.

Is it possible to take my wallet.dat file and address to another wallet?
You have only 1 connection which is probably part of the problem. There us a list somewhere on this forum with a bunch of nodes you can connect to that are reliable and have good connections. I will update when I find it.

You can export the private keys of your addresses and import them into another wallet, but most wallets won't be able to use the wallet.dat file.

Please wait. You are number 16 in the queue.
get better server
It doesn't have to do with the server, but with Bitcointalk's ip bans. If Bitcointalk didn't ban ips for too many requests per second, this program could run almost instantaneously.

Please wait. You are number 16 in the queue.

Can we install this script on Free hosting website ? like activity calculator
You can install it yourself from the github repo but not easily since it is not written in php. You will need to know how to build and run GWT applications. I will at some point write installation instructions.
9291  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin .11 Initial Blockchain Download Problem on: September 02, 2015, 01:54:51 AM
Ok. I checked out the Debug window. The number of connections shows 1 In - so I am good there. I changed the Port back to 8333 on Bitcoin and no adverse consequences. I have a Mac and no Firewall - so good there.

I am using a semi-public network connection through my apartment complex for my desktop which is a problem. I don't see my being able to change the Port for this modem and I expect this is the issue with my halted download.

I am stuck at 340401 blocks at Jan 2015. The torrent file is dated Jul 2015 wouldn't that help? Still don't know how to get QT to load the torrent file. Finally, if I am unable to change the Port on the modem would it be possible to transfer my wallet.dat and key to another wallet. I am still waiting to complete this payment.
For the torrent file, you need to have a torrent client and place the downloaded file (should be bootstrap.dat) in the data directory and Bitcoin Core will do its thing. I don't recommend this since it can take a very long time to download and you are almost up to date anyways.

It is possible that your modem is the problem. It may also be your ISP. Apparently some ISPs have been blocking port 8333 and users can't change it. What ISP are you using?

How many connections out and total connections do you have (should say in the debug window)?

In the lower right hand corner of the Bitcoin Core, do you have any yellow or green bars lit up?
9292  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: AT&T has effectively banned Bitcoin nodes by closing port 8333 via a hidden fire on: September 02, 2015, 01:36:28 AM
It could be a simple case of something needing to be blocked specifically for the DVR and not a big conspiracy as it is being made out to be.

It would need to be a criminal act to be appropriately labelled as a conspiracy. A company like AT&T would be unlikely to put themselves in that position.

It doesn't always have to be criminal to be labeled a conspiracy:

Quote
   Conspiracy (civil), an agreement between persons to deceive, mislead, or defraud others of their legal rights or to gain an unfair advantage
    Conspiracy (criminal), an agreement between persons to break the law in the future, in some cases having committed an act to further that agreement
    Conspiracy (political), an agreement between persons with the goal of gaining political power or meeting a political objective
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy

In any event, the point still stands that it could be something unrelated to AT&T specifically trying to prevent users from running a Bitcoin node.
But then why would a DVR need port 8333 blocked if there is nothing using that port? Port 8333 was specifically chosen because it was high enough that almost no other software used it.

Also, link to the actual email and thread: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2015-September/010798.html
9293  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin .11 Initial Blockchain Download Problem on: September 02, 2015, 01:26:57 AM
The torrent file won't help since a) it needs to download the blockchain file and b) the file is so old that you are actually past the last sync date of the file. You should set the port to be 8333 and open that up both on the machine's local firewall and the router's firewall. Also check the number of connections. If you go to Help > Debug Window, there should be something that says how many connections you have. It should be more than 0. If it is 0, then you aren't going to be syncing anything.
9294  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Bitcointalk Account price estimator on: September 01, 2015, 07:12:17 PM
I think the site offers a great deal of people who sell accounts, so its useful.

But I just used it right now and it states im 11th in que. So what if theres a overwhelming demand of using it and people dont want to wait however long.

What if I get like, 100th que next time.. etc.
That is a good question. I have asked Theymos to whitelist the ip but he never responded. If the ip was whitelisted, then all of the requests could run simultaneously and there wouldn't be a queue.
9295  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Send full amount as a fee to miners on: September 01, 2015, 01:22:07 PM
you can send one 0.000001 btc to any address and change the fees amount to the amount that you want to send to the miners
like send 0.0000001 btc to someone random btc address with 0.50btc as fees, and miner gets the fees

But this is problmatic because the 1 satoshi ends up in the UTXO set so instead of cleaning up the dust, you're making even smaller dust and sending it to someone else.

It may be better instead to make a transactions without any outputs (is this legal)?  If the point is to clean up dust, you definitely want to figure out how to create something which actually acheives this.

Couldnt you just hang onto the dust until you need to make a legit transaction, say to pay hosting or whatever for your service, and then just add the dust as the fee for that transaction? This will prevent the single satoshi to a random address issue and still send dust to the miners.
all of those dusty outputs would inflate the size of the transaction and require a large fee to send that the dusty may not be able to cover.

The best way would be to use OP_RETURN to not create any outputs.
9296  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: cpu miner on raspberry pi bugging out bitcoincz on: September 01, 2015, 11:29:14 AM
If your raspi had not found any shares yet (which is probably the case, cpuminer should let you know) then the pool will not know what your hashrate is. Since it probably isn't finding and submitting shares, you aren't getting paid because it has not submitted anything to the pool due to low hashrate.

I would suggest that you not cpu mine on a raspi as its hashrate will be so low as to be negligible.
9297  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: NLockTime with RawTx on: September 01, 2015, 11:25:01 AM
First of all, that only made you a multisig address, not a transaction. To create a transaction you need to use createrawtransaction and modify the hex to add the locktime. Then you need to sign it with signrawtransaction.
9298  Economy / Services / Re: ♦ Virtual prepaid MasterCard! on: September 01, 2015, 02:27:50 AM
This seems interesting, although the comission part is a little confusing. My understanding is that the 20% commission is for the first transactions. So theoretically I could spend $0.01 and only pay $0.002 in commission. Is this correct?

The commission is when you buy the card! I even explained that myself. So for a $50 card you spend $60 and so on and so forth. Got it?
I think I got it. So it is just a fee that is 20% of the amount loaded into the card that is paid when the card is bought.
