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.

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?

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?

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.

What is that coin?

That is interesting. If Bitcoin succeeds and replaces the dollar, then what will coinbase and other exchangers do? They won't have a market.

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.

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?

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.

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.

You don't need to start up Bitcoin Core to do a wallet backup. Instead, go to the bitcoin datadir. Copy the wallet.dat file to somewhere else and you will have just backed up your wallet file. You can no longer import private keys to multibit though. I would recommend that you use electrum instead. To get the keys out of the wallet, you need to use a tool like pywallet and extract the keys before importing them into electrum.

I beg to differ. Sir Tim Berners Lee invented the WORLD WIDE WEB. That is different from the INTERNET. The world wide web allows linking to sites and such. The internet on the other hand is the internetworking system that connects computers and servers to each other. The Internet and its protocols were developed from ARPANET which was created by the US Department of Defense. The Internet is the system by which all of our computers are connected, while the World Wide Web allows us to easily access the files stored on those servers.

Also not sure what you mean by sequence and line them up. However, there are source code docs that are very useful. You can find them here: https://dev.visucore.com/bitcoin/doxygen/

Other people have the same problem. There is a thread here that discusses it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1118701.0

Basically one of the DNS seeds used for discovering peers seems like it is malicious and your ISP flags it. It is ok and legitimate.

Are you sure that you have the right version of qt and that it is in the right place? The build system cannot find QApplication which is part of qt.

I think Theymos made the modifications. Try PM'ing him to see if he will help you.

You need to first start Bitcoind or bitcoin-qt in regtest mode. Start bitcoin-qt with the server option. When doing so, make sure that bitcoin.conf has an rpcuser and rpcpassword set. It doesn't matter what they are, as long as they exist.

There is actually another thread about this. Someone had the same problem. The thread is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1118701.0

This apparently has something to do with the Bitcoin Seeder dns seed software which is legitimate but that ISP thinks it is malicious.

If you open up the start menu and right click on computer then properties, there should be a window that somewhere says whether you are 32 bit or 64 bit. I think that is what you are looking for.

What was that service? I didn't find it in the link that you posted.

And they just provided an exchange service, without the proper license.


So by running a Bitcoin exchange, they are exchanging cash for potential criminals. Does this logic apply to fiat? Sounds like they think that anything Bitcoin is criminal.

EDIT: found it was coin.mx. I found another, more explanatory link here: http://www.coindesk.com/coin-mx-arrested-operating-illegal-bitcoin-exchange/

I got 48 out of 51. Yeah!! I'm a Bitcoin Guru. Some of those questions though weren't all that great, especially the ones where it is like "answers B+D". Those are annoying.

Armory requires Bitcoin Core in order to run. It will start Bitcoin Core in the background. You can run them separately, but Armory will only be online and function as a normal wallet when Bitcoin Core is also running. It will require some more disk space but it will not effect Bitcoin Core. The only problem is that if Armory is running Bitcoin Core in the background, then you can't start Bitcoin Core or access the GUI since it will actually run bitcoind and not bitcoin-qt.
