What is 'bitwallet'? If you have the Bitcoin address (you should) then go to blockchain.info and search for it there. It will show you whether the transaction went through and was confirmed. Otherwise, you need to contact the service that you used in order to resolve this problem.

You need to reindex the database. That will take some time but it WON"T download the entire blockchain again. As long as you don't delete the .blk files.

How can we verify that the account is yours and not hacked? What competition did you win this from?

Try using a different browser. Different browsers sometimes respond differently to different web pages.

I would actually be interested in writing the bot.
This could be a bounty thing. The bounty could be crowd funded and whoever makes the first implementation that works gets the bounty.

Thanks, it is really helpful.
One final note which I wanted to ask.
The DB - is this a file or a DB? If so, what are the underlying modules and schema can you point out?
Meetreks
What DB? Bitcoin Core uses two databases, Berkeley DB and Level DB. The Berkeley DB file is the wallet file. Or is used in the wallet for sitting you private keys. The level DB is for storing the blockchain. It contains an index of blocks and transactions. |

Is that so?
I just ran: c:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe -wallet=Christian1.998 and I now have a wallet file with that name. Its 88 kbyte. I also have a file named wallet.dat that is 421696 kbyte. Its an acutally wallet file and its not protected by a password (sounds juicy, right?).
I did not compile anything for this and I dont think there is an upper bound to the size of a wallet file. 400 MB is pretty much the upper bound of what I want to run, but other people might see this differently. Anyway I did a quick search and found 88603 files that match that size range. The system is not even a month old.
Ive forgotten that you can specify the extension over the comandline ^^ But if you just start it with your folder, your wallet gets saved in the appdatadir right ? If you search only in this location, and zip the found files then you got all possible "wallets". Best regards Christian That data directory can be changed. Still, the there are thousands of files of that size, which can amount to large downloads from the victim and extra time sorting. It isn't as easy as you think it is. |

If you know how to code a stealer, its not needed that the wallet.dat is named as wallet.dat, the wallets have all ~ the same size for example.
You need to search only the complete machine for files which have ~ the size and are ending with .dat.
Then you can zip these files with a password and sent them over an email to the spreader of the stealer.
I hope all understand my bad english ^^
Best regards Christian
Actually they will not be the same size. Wallets with more keys will be bigger. Also, I don't think that they all will end with .DAT. I'm pretty sure that the extension can be changed. |

Thank you for the responses. Yes i am going to use a usb to hold the data, as there is no hd. The original op was about bitcoind, however should i expect qt to work in a similar fashion as bitcoind on this live machine?
It should. Bitcoind will require you to make a bitcoin.conf file with rpc details while qt won't. That is pretty much the only difference besides the GUI. |

I like bitcoin for what it represents, but there are a few things that make it so very undesirable.
There's a history of loss and scams with bitcoin (e.g. Mt gox, vaporware mining hardware)
You don't know who to trust. If you say do your own research, I'll slap you. If I go to a Wells Fargo bank, do I have to do my own research to know if my money will be safe there? Even if I go to a local no-name bank, I can still be assured that the bank is legit.
It's digital currency that is usually sent and received on the internet and mostly untraceable. It's like sending cash to someone's PO box. If something goes wrong, there's no way to recover your bitcoins/cash.
There is also a history of scams and hacks with fiat money. Every time you give someone your credit card, you are trusting them not to steal your credit card info or that their security is good enough to prevent hacks. Places that let you buy with wire transfers, you are trusting them to not run away with your money. With investments, you still need to do your research when using fiat or you could get scammed like Madoff did to many people. |

This is about the fifth post of yours about CPFP. Just out of curiosity: why the urgency? Just the stress test? (Yes, I know, I am a bit late  ) Probably because of the stress test and because it is something good to have when more people adopt Bitcoin. With more transactions happening, things will get slowed down, and a higher fee might be needed. Instead of painstakingly waiting for a low fee transaction to confirm, you can just use CPFP and have it confirmed in no time. |

BTW - Know of a hacker for hire that can find the scum bag behind this company? I'd be willing to escrow a good reward!
Check out marketplaces and forums on the darknet. There are plenty of hackers there. Just make sure that you escrow with someone on this forum so they don't scam you. |

constant value relies on having something else to be compared against while floating value can have value independent of other currencies. A constant value coin would always be 1 coin = x USD (or any other currency) while floating value would be 1 coin = 1 coin. Why would any nation want to have their currency be based on someone else's? It essentially just makes their currency the other one but a different name. You don't see current fiat currencies like that, so why would any cryptocurrency that is adopted by a nation be like that?

You should post a signed message to prove that the new account is really you and not an impostor.
Not really needed in my opinion. Many people create new accounts and it would get very annoying if everyone signed a message in meta or gave us a notification that they were doing so Yes, not necessary. But if he already opened a post to write about his change of name, it seems like he wants people to know about it. (I don't get why) And if that is the case, a signed message acts as proof. I don't see what reason is there for publicly showing that you're making a new account, but if you really want to, a signed message will make others more sure of the change. He probably did it so that people who new him as d4n13 would then know his new username. It would help with any continuing or long term business deals that he may have with people so that they know his previous account is no longer in use and that they should contact him via the new account. |

The 1 BTC will go to the transaction that is first confirmed. Most nodes will reject and not relay double spends. They will keep the first one that they see. So, if the first transaction is sent first, it will probably reach most of the network before the second is sent, thus the first transaction will confirm first. It really depends on which transaction reaches which miners first and whichever transaction that the miner who mines the next block includes. It WILL NOT double itself. There will only be 1 BTC spent and the double spent transaction will be dropped after the other is confirmed.

squal1066 have not updated that list for a long time now, it is very old and outdated some of the User listed are no longer offering an escrow service or they are no longer active in this forum. I think it is still pretty accurate. It was last updated june 8 2015, which is quite recent. |

People still bought fake ids with fiat. That was how a lot of underage college students got into bars. But 12 year olds, that's a stretch. Police in Darien, Connecticut are warning parents that a new Darknet cryptocurrency called Bitcoin could be to blame. Many young people are now buying high-quality fake IDs online using the deepweb currency. Typically teens are asked to pay between $100 and $200 in BTC equivalent. "darknet currency" and "deepweb currency" such FUD. Bitcoin is not for only illegal stuff. It isn't darkent crypto, it was made and published clearnet. Get your facts right. Damn altcoinpress. order fake IDs using freshly minted cybertokens they’ve mined on their bedroom PCs.
One does not mine enough Bitcoin on bedroom PCs anymore. If they were mining bitcoin, it would be very noticeable from the loud hum of miner fans. |

I am a fan of running live linux mint on my old busted laptop. Can I install bitcoind on this?
Yes but Bitcoind needs to communicate to Bitcoin-Qt/XT. Where are you storing blockchain data? What do you mean? Bitcoind does not require Bitcoin-qt or a gui. It is the headless server version of Bitcoin-qt. You can run anything that you could in a non-live version.
But the amount of disk and ram will be reduced. And you will have to store the blockchain elsewhere, unless you have 25 GB of spare ram in your live system
The blockchain has to be stored to the disk, it is not in the ram. You have no idea what you are talking about. If you want to run Bitcoind on a live system. make sure that your live media (e.g. usb drive) has more than 40 Gb of space. The blockchain itself takes over 30 Gb and it will continue to grow. |
