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.

I'm talking about on the blockchain from the genesis block... I thought that was clearly explained.
The Bitcoin created by the genesis block cannot be spent, ever. He could spend from any of his other addresses where Bitcoin from the first several blocks went and were never spent.

Britain already created a forum for Bitcoin - this one. lol That's the whole point. This forum was created by Satoshi and Sirius. I'm pretty sure that Sirius is Finnish. It was then passed on to Theymos who I think is American. Satoshi created Bitcoin to be international. It doesn't matter what language you speak. If Satoshi did care and wanted to enforce such a rule for British English, then why did he allow non Brits to be admins of the forum?

I would recommend that you do any windows or mac builds with the gitian build system. It lets you deterministically build all of the binaries on a linux system like the one that you are developing in.
Question is: how would I use the gitian build system when there only are a few folders (contrib/gitian-descriptors [and] contrib/gitian-downloader)? There is more to it. I can teach you how to do it. It will work for pretty much any coin that is based off of Bitcoin in some way. There is more to it and it takes some time to make it work properly, but in the end it makes compiling across platforms so much easier.

I can do it. How much will are you willing to pay for this? Where will those programs be installed?

There is only one coin out there where none of its users are making such claims.. Whats up with that?
What is that coin? I have nothing against Coinbase, but I find this statement from Brian interesting.
IF this were to happen (replace the dollar), they could be put out of business. As a matter of fact I've said multiple times that we know cryptos will succeed when we see payment processors close their doors (or completely revamp their business models).
I know this is not the only business model they have, so im not sure what % of gains are from payment processing. But I would imagine its not insignificant.
That is interesting. If Bitcoin succeeds and replaces the dollar, then what will coinbase and other exchangers do? They won't have a market.

I dont like BitCoin for these reasons: 1. The whole idea that someone can turn on his computer/GPU and " bit mine" and earn money is ridiculous. People should earn money when they work hard for it. Turning on a computer and leaving it to run does not and should not count. This is a waste of electricity as well and therefore it causes greenhouse gases and has a carbon footprint.It is a smaller carbon footprint than you really think it is. Besides, you can't CPU or GPU mine anymore. It isn't profitable and just wastes money and electricity. The big mining farms that mine are usually near big cheap sources of electricity. Those happen to tend to be renewable sources like hydroelectric plants. HaoBTC's mine is near a hydroelectric which provides them cheap electricity and doesn't have a carbon footprint. 2. One would think they came up with a new currency system so theft could be prevented. No, BC gets stolen all the time. Why couldn't they "disable" the serial numbers of the currency that was stolen? Thats the kind of system that should have been designed. It is just like cash. Cash can be stolen, and the serial numbers can't be disabled. There aren't serial numbers with Bitcoin, and disabling the spending of certain transactions requires hard forks and implies that there is centralization to decide what transactions are not stolen Bitcoin. Whose job would it be to decide that someone's transactions was Bitcoin being stolen? 3. BC is unstable. People lost a lot of money ( one tiny example; there are probably hundreds and thousands) and they did nothing wrong. A good modern currency should not have this defect. It is just like stocks, the price goes up and down. Other foreign currencies fluctuate too. People shouldn't look at Bitcoin as a speculative investment where they can profit from it. Also, instead of looking at Bitcoin and comparing it to other currencies, it should be independent from them. Instead of 1 BTC = 300 USD, it should be 1 BTC = 1 BTC. This is what I hope happens in the future.

What I really need is how is the source code sequenced and how to place the code to read them in the order they are executed (if any)
Take a look at the docs I linked above. They also show the call graphs and flow charts. The first point is AppInit() located in bitcoind.cpp then AppInit2() in init.cpp.
