Wow Hashnest repaid my V5 balance in full yesterday. How come it's so quiet here?
How much profit do you get from the pacmic and how long did it take to pay off (is it still worthwhile). The return is nowhere great. about 5%+ in 220+ days. Oh. I always wondered how they did. Because a few years ago people were saying they got 20% per year which seemed a nice deal. But 5% is less profit than I'd get from an s7 miner in around that time. |

well i dont know why is so quite,...i dont know why al buy S9 more then L3, it mines less % per month, LTC is undervalued compared to BTC, and still s9 is in more buying mode then L3,....and maintance is higher and it ines on avergae 30 blocks,... plus bitcoin cash will not be mined with bitman,...this is what i dont know, despite the segwit for BTC full in place,...ppl buz S9 more then L3... why?
I prefer s7 tbh. It's cheaper, although ltc does earn quite well it does cost ~0.004btc/mhash Wow Hashnest repaid my V5 balance in full yesterday. How come it's so quiet here?

Someone probably put in an address wrong if you werent expecting the transaction. As there are three inputs, you could try to search them on Google. Or just be happy with the btc you've now gained if no one claims them. |

BOTH theoretically should work. However, neither will work under your current configuration.
I think you need to go onto the network settings in electron-cash. Deselect the select servers automatically and select an electron-cash supporting node (if you look at the block heights and decide it that way).
Thanks! That did it! I selected one of the electron-cash supporting servers and it cleared up the replaceable transaction. Now the question I have is, do I need to keep my configuration based on that single server, or can I go back to automatic server selection? Just stick with that one I think or the problem will come back. There may be an update that uses electron-cash only servers (but there hasn't been one yet)... |

Can anyone tell me the URL codes that can be used to access the specific functions on hashnest (just from the URL).
The main thing I want to do is be able to check my BTC balance (and maybe LTC balance) from any device I'm using without having to log in to my account.
Anyone know the syntax for this?

jackg, again thank you very much for the replies.
Numerous shutdowns (restarts) were due to my attempts to try various methods to fix the problem, yet nothing did help
There looked to be a shutdown on the 7th (before the problem started if I'm not wrong) where the client restarted on it's own and didn't manage to shutdown cleanly - which could have caused some sort of problem - though it seemed to boot OK). I'd also suggest you wait 2/3 minutes before you attempted to start the core once the shutdown is finished. And it does appear to still have been recieving UpdateTip responses during this time and was attempting to connect to other nodes - which means your client was still getting connections somehow. |

Hey all,
I've installed Bitcoin Core 0.14.2 on my PC along with Electrum 2.9.2
I've sent my funds from the core client to electrum then way back to the core.
Afterwards, I've imported the seed of the electrum to the Electron Cash 2.9.2 that I've got installed on the virtual machine I'm running.
The Electron Cash is now showing 0 BCC there.
What I could had made wrong ?
Thanks in advance.

If this is the fairly common error, then there should be a transaction at the top that is unconfirmed - if this is the case, then either wait for that transaction to be rejected or sweep the coins. Alternatively, wait for your transaction to be rejected or manually select the server that supports electron cash. If the coins were in bitcoin core while the fork was happening, then, you need to export all of your private keys and sweep them into your electron cash wallet - (if you have enough bitcoins, DO THIS OFFLINE COMPLETELY). |

Cex.io is UK based and is listed on the BitcoinCash.org page.
ViaBTC tells you a bit about itself and where they are based....
Yobit doesn't disclose any of that in an easy to find way....
Ahhh, I forgot about Cex. Yes they are UK based - their ssl certificate and company both have uk registration. All I can find about yobit mainly is this: https://who.is/whois/yobit.netThey're from moscow, russia (I think the emails and numbers provided are owned by the registrar or who.is itself). |

Hello, I accidentally send BTC to my electrum chash wallet.  The transaction is confirmed but the amount is not visible in my electrum cash wallet. Is there any chance to get my BTC back? Thanks for your help Try sweeping the private key of that address in electron cash into your electrum version and see if that does it? |

Based on the Debug.log OP sent me via PM, it looks like there were a large number of shutdowns yesteday. I'm not sure if htese are planned or not (there are a few restarts that appear not to be but no database errors).
It was probably just a simple issue that's fixed itself now as I can't really see anythig that looks suspicious (there are a few misbehaving peers and a few forcible connection interruptions from peers -but these are fairly normal).
As to the error in it stoping downloading blocks, it looks like a lack of connection or an error that forces it to restart, however the cause is not clear in the debug log. Try connecting to a node from a pool if possible in order to try see if it is the connection error.

A replaceable transaction is one where a double spend rbf transaction can be done to boost the transaction fees.
You might want to "sweep" those coins eventually if that transaction doesn't go (it won't be confirmed but it is quite strange that that happened, I think it's something to do with the software automatically connecting to servers and ones that are bitcoin and not bitcoin cash.
The transaction went through for my btc, and they are in a new wallet now, as the instructions said to do before trying to get bcc. How do you "sweep" the coins into the new wallet? I thought that the way to do that was simply to create a new wallet using your old seed on electron-cash. That is what I did, as that is what I thought that the instructions said to do. The instructions from https://electrum.org/bcc2.txt say this about the 4th step for retrieving your BCC after moving your funds to a new electrum wallet, and installing electron-cash on a new computer: 4. Enter the seed of your (now empty) old wallet or private keys in
Electron Cash. Since the BTC have been moved to a new wallet,
entering your old seed in Electron Cash will not put your BTC funds
at risk.
Following these 4 easy steps you will be able to access your BCC
without compromising your BTC.
I just assumed that when it says "Enter the seed of your ... old wallet ... in Electron Cash," it meant to create a wallet, and select "I already have a seed" in the wallet creation dialog, which is what I did. Then you enter your old seed. But is that incorrect? Are you supposed to create a totally new wallet and use the "sweep" function to "sweep" the private keys to the new wallet instead? The instructions are not clear which one you are supposed to do, and I haven't seen anyone on this forum say which one they have done. It seems like everyone that does it correctly just seems to know the correct procedure. BOTH theoretically should work. However, neither will work under your current configuration. I think you need to go onto the network settings in electron-cash. Deselect the select servers automatically and select an electron-cash supporting node (if you look at the block heights and decide it that way). |

Ok, so I did the following, following this exactly (I think): https://electrum.org/GCC2.txtAfter the fork, I created a new electrum wallet. Then I sent all my coins from my old electrum wallet to the new electrum wallet. I waited until they were verified in my new electrum wallet, and they are there now. Then I created a new VM, installed a limited version of linux, and installed electron-cash in that vm. It has no access to my old electrum wallet, so it is like it is on another pc. I installed electron-cash from the tar.gz file that I downloaded from http://www.electroncash.org/. I ran electron-cash, created a new wallet, and used the existing seed from my original electrum wallet. All my old transactions appeared in my new electron-cash wallet as expected. However, the very last transaction, where I sent all my coins to my new electrum wallet is also there, which I did not expect. That last transaction has a "warning triangle icon" next to it and it has the word "Replaceable" under the date. The balance of coins in my electron-cash wallet says zero because of this last transaction, when I sent my pre-fork coins to my new electrum wallet. It seems like I need to somehow get rid of the "replaceable" transaction in order to now have access to my BCC coins. I thought this would happen automatically because of "replay protection", but I have been waiting about 2 hours now and haven't seen anything else happen. Has anyone else had this happen? Do I just need to wait longer? Or do I need to do something else? A replaceable transaction is one where a double spend rbf transaction can be done to boost the transaction fees. You might want to "sweep" those coins eventually if that transaction doesn't go (it won't be confirmed but it is quite strange that that happened, I think it's something to do with the software automatically connecting to servers and ones that are bitcoin and not bitcoin cash. |

jackg, thank you very much for reply. You know, just as mysteriously as the incoming connections and open 8333 suddenly disappeared and were totally off for long (restarting the wallet, rebooting the system, router didn't help), just as mysteriously port 8333 became open at a moment.
Yet I now recall another common problem with the bitcoin core wallet, I mean it pretty often just stops syncing the blockchain. It as if falls asleep or something like that. I tuned the system so that it never sleeped or hybernated, or enabled power management for a device, so that is not the system problem.
My ISP offers static IPs for money, and I don't see it necessary for just opening incoming connections, so I use dynamic IPs. All of my IPs are in the log. I've just reviewed the log, and I can see only "UPnP Port Mapping successful" messages, so why 8333 was closed for pretty long is totally unclear.
I'll send you my log in a private message. Maybe you'll be able to detect something. Thanks in advance.
I'm glad to hear the first problem was solved. I'll have a look at the debug.log and see why that is. Although, from what I can tell, it's a common hardware issue. Normally, unless the ccaus can be detected you'll have to cope with the delays (unless the database keeps becoming corrupted). |

Hello,
I passionately want to help the great BTC network with my full node bitcoin core wallet!
And everything had been quite fine, I had had port 8333 open all the time, outside sources had been always saying my 8333 was open, the wallet (debug window) had showed 12-30 incoming connections...
But today at some time, without any reason, all outside sources started saying my 8333 is closed. Debug window confirms that by showing 0 incoming connections. But! When I look into the wallet's log it says it has successfully opened UPNP service, successfully registered the 8333 port, and my router does confirm that by showing 8333 has been opened with UPNP (as it had always been before).
Yet, no incoming connections, and outside sources say the port 8333 closed.
Who can guess what??
Can you send the debug.log file? It's located in the data directory (the parent of the directories of "blocks" and "chainstate"). Could you also send your IP if you want that port testing, PM me that if you don't want it publically displayed and I'll test a regular network connection on it (not from the Bitcoin client). |

Basically I want to import a adress which I generated with a vanityadressgenerator into a electrum wallet which has a seed.
I know the background how a seed functions and I canīt imagine that it is possible, but I thought I give it a shot.
If the answer is no, is it possible to generate a vanity adress within the wallet (based on the seed)
Your seed is used to deterministically produce private keys. You cannot import a private key into a seeded wallet in electrum. You can use a seedless electrum wallet and import the private key that way. For the second point. It is indeed possible to make a vanity address with your seed. However, this might take a while. |

Maybe the FBI decided to sell those coins or just redistribute them into the network somehow.
Thank you for the best laugh I have had in a while. This is quite funny. Do you really think the FBI would simply send out BTC to "generously" fund other accounts? Noooo way. The US Government does not work like this. It is a seized asset and they will sell if for the maximum amount of profit that they can get when the time comes. They will seize anything they can via an ever increasingly terrifying "legal" means that they can cook up with and hide behind the guise of preventing "terrorism" and the like. Maybe they're trying to get the bcc out of the address or "research the blockchain" more. |

While I was browsing through the block chain I noticed that something around 29,000 bitcoin were in a wallet that the coins were labelled on block chain.info as (silk road seized coins) originally and transactions are being made today.
Yesterday and probably for quite a while.
Maybe this is normal I just find it unusual for the FBI or whoever confiscated them are spending/moving them to tons of different addresses.
I guess they can do what they like with them maybe it's used to try to catch out people making other dodgy deals on the dweb
This is quite interesting... Do you still have the address you stumbled across? Maybe the FBI decided to sell those coins or just redistribute them into the network somehow. |

Sounds like when you installed BitcoinABC you installed it into the same location as Bitcoin Core (aka BitcoinQT)... I believe that BitcoinABC does this by default, which is pretty dangerous  Not sure if it still does, but it tried to when I installed it prior to the fork... so I changed all the install and datadir's to X:\Blah\BitcoinABC during installation to avoid any conflicts like this. As ABC is basically a direct port of Core/QT it uses the same wallet.dat format... and if it has installed using the same directory as Core/QT it'll probably be using your BTC wallet.dat  I suspect when you used the private key of Exodus in your ABC, because it is "sharing" the wallet.dat with Core/QT, you've also effectively shared the Exodus key with Core/QT. Aha, I got the problem. They both use the same sort of config file. In windoes for example, both config files will be stored in C:\Users\USERNAME\appData\local\config.conf There's no simple fix to this other than -dumpprivkey=<ADDRESS> |

heard about erthquake in china Sichuan area .
Do you know where hashnest mining farm is located ?
Beijing, according to Hashnest FB page... Not sure how Beijing is realistic.... The capital city is in the process of migrating dirty power plants elsewhere to help combat environmental issues. Power comes directly from the grid would cost around $0.1/kwh. All existing mining operations source from off-grid power, which i doubt any would exist in Beijing or nearby. It's interesting, I'm sure I read somewhere that it was Hong Kong. Not sure that's any more likely. It's probably somewhere where there's either lots of space (for solar cells) or a poorer area which remains with a good connection to the grid (as it's quite high capacity). I'm not sure how much coal is there, but it's possible they could produce their own electricity fairly cheaply. |

Hello, I have BTC in Electrum. I want to follow the procedure outlined in https://electrum.org/bcc2.txt to claim BCH. Have moved coins to a new Electrum wallet. However, I could not move ALL the coins. There are three addresses left with a fractional bitcoin in each--total about a Dollar. I was unable to move these (maybe the mining fee is greater than the coins worth). Selecting "all" and trying to send indicates I will send zero, and it gives me an error. I don't care about losing the minuscule value, I just want to make sure everything is SECURE if I don't move these few bits, and go ahead with the process to use the old key in the new Electron Cash wallet. Is there any way that leaving a few bits in the old wallet and using the old key in the new BCH wallet will endanger the BTC I have already moved to the new Electrum wallet? Thank You ! No. That will cause no problems. You probably won't lose that fraction of btc either and both networks are replay proof. |
