So monero has massive botnets mining it and a thriving malware industry to infect and mine and not only that there was the crypto jacking service coinhive and nothing happens to them but the moment you mix some bitcoins your a criminal?
Something is very very wrong here.

If bitcoin cannot or will not take note that we are under attack and we must push for more privacy tools in the space then we might as well give up now..

And yes Mcafee seemed to play a part in this one.

966  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Testing my own hashing code on: May 22, 2019, 11:08:06 AM
I'm writing my own software to do the double SHA-256 hashing on my Windows 10 system.
I want to test it on real data, i.e., testnet.

My code can be called from C++, Python, or run as an executable from a command line.
It will take a message header as an input, and try to find a hash that satisfies the level of difficulty.

I expect that my code will be invoked with many such headers before it succeeds, even on testnet.  If I understand it correctly, the nodes on the network each receive different versions of the current block (with the extra nonce varying).

So I'm looking for a program that will get current data from the network, feed the message header to my program, try again if not successful, and post the success when successful.  I'd like to see that eventually, I will have successfully mined something.

Alternatively, I'd like to access an older block on the network to see if I can duplicate the successful hashing of that block, using the version of the message that was actually solved by the miner.  That way, I know that my program should succeed.

Can I get access to test cases which have a known result?

Is there a way I can estimate how many hashing attempt it would take, on average, to solve a hashing problem?  I know this will vary over time because of the adjustments to the level of difficulty, but I'd be interested in a ball-park answer for the testnet.  If the answer is in days (given the hashing speed of my software), then I might want to abandon attempts to successfully mine with live data and try some other approach.

Here are the first 50 nonce values for bitcoin.
There is no way to know exactly how long hashing would take it's all down to the numbers.

969  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / RPC Connection on: May 21, 2019, 12:11:38 PM
I seem to be having some trouble connecting Bitcoin core v0.17.0 with RPC
In the wallet configuration I have set the bitcoin.conf with the following.

Code:
server=1
rpcbind=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=IP-OF-LOCAL-MACHINE
rpcport=8332
rpcuser=UserHere
rpcpassword=PasswordHere
rpcclienttimeout=30
rpcthreads=2
rpcworkqueue=1000

On checking I can see bitcoin listening on local host with

Code:
netstat --ip -lpa|grep bitcoin
tcp        0      0 localhost:8332          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN  

In my connecting configuration I have set the connection to.

Code:
  "btc": {
    "paytxfee": .00001,
    "config": {
      "port": 8332,
      "user": "UserHere",
      "password": "PasswordHere"
    }
  },

The connecting module is running from bitcoin npm so it should pass to localhost as default.
But when I call the command for balance or deposit address to be called it fail's to return the address or the balance.

The commands are being read but the wallet fail's to respond and return the requested info.

Code:
                                           
bot> treating !deposit from --User-- as command                                                                        
bot> treating !deposit from --User-- as command

Response:

BOT
Error getting your Bitcoin (BTC) deposit address.

Everything seems to be setup and running but for some reason the RPC won't pass the requested info back to the bot.

Thanks.

Hi,

I saw various numbers in Google which they called them-self bitcoin Technical support team. Are they fake or they took franchise from Bitcoin ?

Let me know.

Thanks

You might be best asking here for help if you require some form of specialized help in relation to bitcoin.
As you did not post the link cannot check to see the service you talk of but I would guess you are better asking for advice here.

I will throw my two into the pot..
I noticed that we had a spate of bans for spam accounts recently this should help some what with the amount if spam being posted.

I think the market place should be restricted a rank higher that noob ranking this would help in more ways that one.

1. Users might think twice about posting a scam listing if they are in danger of losing a higher ranked account.
2. Being unable to just create a "throw" away account just to post advert without spending the time on the forum to build up reputation will dampen the scammers down a fair bit.
3. It's almost impossible to find good sellers on the forum anymore dew to the sheer volume of posting there.

Agreed there should be some kind of rank before being allowed to sell on the forum this will help protect members somewhat and possibly bring the rate of posting down in that section.
974  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is your definition of shitcoin? on: May 12, 2019, 10:51:08 AM
Anything that is not Bitcoin is a Shitcoin.

Not all that is gold shimmers.

Around 95% of the Altcoins on the market have and serve no purpose they take away from bitcoin adoption and stifle the market most of which turn out to be scams to the highest order.
People should see that the Alt market is nothing more than a was for greedy developers to push some shitcoin to gain more BTC -  all alts are a route to BTC nothing more.

Sooner alt's vanish from the industry the better.

Wassabi wallet get's a vote from me. 
Must praise nopara73 for the work on the wallet have been testing out on ubuntu and quite impressed with the project and wallet thus far,

I agree with what is being said about the .NET privacy issue as nopara73 pointed out he is aware of the situation as are many others regarding the telemetry/privacy issues in the .NET framework.

You sir deserve some bounty!

978  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Collection of 18.509 found and used Brainwallets on: May 11, 2019, 11:49:10 AM
I created a simple word smasher as a way to pipe content to BF.
So I use the power of 2 scale with randint between specific values.

Depending on the size of the list you will need to set the values according.

I did find a few wallets this way with specific word lists being used and changes to the values.

I have another version that will take content and hash it with hashlib and pipe the output to BF and again this also threw back some results.

Code:
## Word Smash Power Of 2
## Set wordlist and pipe output
## Python
from time import sleep
import random
import sys

my_file = open("words.txt", "r")
words = my_file.readlines()


## Power of 2 select from wordlist : ToDo - Evaluate methods
i = 1
while i > 0:
    number_1 = random.randint(0, 128)
    number_2 = random.randint(0, 256)
    number_3 = random.randint(0, 512)
    number_4 = random.randint(0, 1024)
    number_5 = random.randint(0, 2048)

    number_10 = random.randint(0, 65536)
    number_11 = random.randint(0, 131072)
    number_12 = random.randint(0, 262144)
    word_1 = words[number_1]
    word_2 = words[number_2]
    word_3 = words[number_3]
    word_4 = words[number_4]
    word_5 = words[number_5]
    word_6 = words[number_6]
    word_7 = words[number_7]
    word_8 = words[number_8]
    word_9 = words[number_9]
    word_10 = words[number_10]
    word_11 = words[number_11]
    word_12 = words[number_12]

    print(word_1.rstrip() + " " + word_2.rstrip() + " " + word_3.rstrip() + " " + word_4.rstrip() + " " + word_5.rstrip() + " " + word_6.rstrip() + " " + word_7.rstrip() + " " + word_8.rstrip() + " " + word_9.rstrip() + " " + word_10.rstrip() + " " + word_11.rstrip() + " " + word_12.rstrip())
    i += 1

Number of things in the release to think about.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-4819

Binance seem to have known exactly how this happens very quickly after the breach.  
Normal practice would tell you the first release is normally not as in depth as this they state that the hackers must have been patent before striking so were Binance aware of this before time? if not how would they know they were holding off?

Another thing they said the following to the bbc

According to Binance, the attackers used a variety of techniques to break in. They deployed viruses and used phishing attacks to get security information.

and then later

The hackers "had the patience to wait" and acquire access to a number of accounts before withdrawing the huge haul of bitcoins, according to Binance.

All this info from the first 24 hr's of Binance own investigation?
Unless they knew prior they had some kind of issue and they were monitoring the situation seems more likely story.

Did you add enough swap space? this can cause the RPI to crash.

To add a 1gb swap file, in /swapfile:

Code:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024M count=1000
sudo mkswap /swapfile
