Considering that the money is sent, and will arrive at Bittrex adn won't be lost, I can send again 0.02 BTC but with a higher fee now. How much should I put ? PS : It has one input and two output.
You should pay at least 1000 satoshis/kb but I would go with 0.0001 BTC/Kb right now with the current spam situation. |

Transaction times are instantaneous. Confirmation times are not. I also send my transactions with a 10,000 Satoshi fee, and they confirm anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes. Right now though, there is an ongoing spam attack, so transactions will take longer. It is recommended to use a higher fee right now for anything urgent. Also, your confirmation times vary because of the block time variation. Blocks are actually not found every ten minutes, but on average, are found every ten minutes. Sometimes they come out very quickly, other times it can take up to 2 hours.
I wonder if mining pools like F2Pool would split their hash evenly over 3 different pool servers and mine to 3 different wallets instead of all that hash mining to the same wallet if this would help to speed up transaction times. Not saying they would even be willing to do it because they have well proven securing Bitcoins Network is not something they are interested in any way at all, but just a thought. It would give like a fishnet of miners under one big area, thus also giving them 3 different sources to hit different blocks instead of all that hash working on the same block. Just curious It wouldn't make a difference. As long as the hashrate is the same, blocks will be found with an average of 10 mins between each. Every miner could be solomining and the exact same thing would happen, except one guy would get all 25 BTC instead of having the reward distributed. |

Sorry if this is mentioned elsewhere, but with with Chinese pools refusing to stop SPV mining, and all these "stress tests" going on right now with the double spending warning up... What are the odds of a double spend occuring? Does a double spend somehow duplicate the Bitcoins being double spent, or does one party get screwed over? Here is a list "The latest 200 double spends (10 Minute Cache)" https://blockchain.info/double-spends only 1 of which (.5% of list at time of this post) in 2014 and 195 of which (97.5% of list) happened this month! Have the Chinese figured out how to successfully double spend using all their hashpower? Is this what is causing the BTC price to go up, due to manipulation? Should this be means for concern for the entire network, since the biggest pools refuse to comply with stopping SPV mining??? Double spending means that the same inputs have been spent 2 or more times. In this case, most of the double spends are from the spam attack which sometimes will send 2 transactions that have the same inputs. A double spend does not duplicate the Bitcoin, but rather screws over one party, the one who the Bitcoin should be sent to. The reason people suggest waiting for a couple of confirmations is because it becomes much much harder to double spend once the transaction is confirmed. |

Could somebody explain me what the f.... is going on? I bought 0,05BTC via our local web exchange and they sent me it to my wallet with tx fee 0,0001. This tx has 226bytes. It was rejected by blockchain.info node after 7 hours of waiting for confirmation. Exchange has sent it to me again with tx fee 0,0002. There is status estimated confirmation time VERY SOON (High priority). But it is waiting for 6 hours now!
What the hell have you done with BTC?! Is it normal? BTC will not be usable for everyday txs this way. Tx fee 0,0002 is not enough for 226bytes-tx?
Maybe there is somebody speculating about fees for his miners and do this "test" with BTC network. Tell me why havent you used test network?
Because there is an ongoing spam attack on the Bitcoin network. Normally this doesn't happen, but with the current spam attack, transactions are becoming delayed because of the massive number of unconfirmed transactions caused by spammers. Just wait and your transaction will eventually become confirmed. Sometimes though, your transaction can be more delayed by what is in it, e.g. dust transactions. |

You better don't use this address anymore Just tried import that private key & my desktop wallet suddenly stopped working  Don't try to import that private key on slow devices if you don't want your devices stopped working, also there are too many unconfirmed transaction. I managed to import it and another address into my wallet and it didn't crash. When I try to send a transaction with all of it though, my wallet says that the minimum fee is 2.24853362 BTC, way more than the amount of BTC in the addresses (0.25...) |

i'm wondering about : i am making a software that check the rules of transactions so if it's a fake confirmed transaction the software will detect it ( but cannot confirm it) is this will be usefull  to detect fake confired transactions . sorry for m english. What do you mean fake confirmation? As in it is confirmed in a fork and not the real blockchain? |

When the blockchain forks people often point at external sources of validation for this such as blockchain.info. I’m wondering if the blockchain itself is able to keep track of forks in a provable way – i.e. using proof of work or similar - and if and of so if there is any way to prove the age of the blocks on a fork. E.g. could someone mine a fork weeks/months after it was started and add new blocks, as long as the median age was within the correct range would the blocks be acceptable (although most nodes would not propagate them)? It is not possible. A block is only aware of itself and the block before it. Your node could theoretically record every single fork, but that would take a lot of data since orphan blocks (essentially mini-forks) happen every single day. It would require a connection to every single node in order to catch every single fork. Someone could mine a fork for a long time, but the only way for it to be accepted is if it is longer and more difficult. The timestamps don't matter. This would only work well if the miner was extremely lucky or had more hash power than the main network (assuming he isn't mining there also). I understand that Gavin uses a private key to lock the blockchain at a certain age into state as "fixed" from the perspective of the core bitcoin software, does this have any effect on forks that have occurred in the past?
Actually no. Gavin does not use a private key to lock anything or put anything into a "fixed" state. There is nothing that does this. However, there are several checkpoint blocks hard coded into the code. If your blockchain doesn't match the checkpoint blocks, then all nodes will reject it. |

With the current number of users, it is unlikely that they could break Bitcoin besides major cryptography flaws or a 51% attack. If any agency was behind the spam attack, they can't keep it up indefinitely. Even if they could, the community would find new solutions to mitigate and reduce the effects of the spam. Right now one solution is to add a little extra fee, or to configure full nodes to not relay certain transactions. Currently, I think it would be difficult to kill Bitcoin.

OMG! It has nothing to do with windows! I was asking about bitcoin client. You obviously have no experience with software like that. Some firewalls (sidewinder, watchguard) use that principle. You have GUI client that you install on windows/linux that connects to the firewall itself to configure it, and watch status. Again, it has nothing to do with desktop! One more time: could I run bitcoin daemon (on freebsd for all that matters ) and use gui portion (on windows/linux/mac/pcbds) to view status or send/receive btc that connects to bitcoin daemon that runs on a separate hardware? It has nothing to do with VNC/RDP/XDMCP. You, sir, obviously do not know the answer otherwise instead of saying In effect you've asked "How can I make Microsoft Windows behave like X Windows or Wayland?". you would just said "no, this is not possible" or "yes, it is possible here is how you do it". It is not possible with Bitcoin Core. You may be able to find some other software which is a gui that uses the RPC Server from the daemon as its backend. |

If it's dropped from the network how do you the get BTC back in your wallet?
It is as if it never left the wallet. If a transaction is dropped, it is as if the transaction never existed so the Bitcoin remains as if the transaction never happened. What is the best fee amount when we send bitcoins from one wallet to another one.
I really hate now transactions, when i see people waiting for days.
I haven't sent transactions during this time, so I can't really say. But if I do send transactions, it will be double what Bitcoin Core defaults to recommending e.g. 0.0002 per Kb instead of 0.0001 per Kb. I've heard if the transaction isn't confirmed in 24 hours it's dropped from the mempool and should be spendable again. Is this how it works? no i believe that is not how it works. someone correct me? someone suggested that it SHOULD be this way and i would agree except spammer dust should be burned and lost or converted to fees in the block. It does that after 48 hours or more, not 24 hours. Eventually, an unconfirmed transaction is dropped after a few days unless someone (e.g. the sender) continues to broadcast it. |

I don't mine. But if I did, I would go with a clean player like Eligius. Hardware owners may wish to join "the good guys".
Eligius still produces its share of empty blocks. It has a smaller hashrate, so there are less of them. ... el kaka22 (great name,  ) My understanding is that by NOT confirming they have a very small time advantage to try and win the block (miner's fees in toto are much lower than block award). But, I hear you. Such greed by the Chinese miners (when most others apparently do confirm) ought to be seen as very irresponsible. With luck, hardware owners will direct their hashes elsewhere. It saves time because they don't need to go through the mempool and get transactions to add. Also because they always start out with empty blocks. Preventing this would require a code rewrite which takes time and by the time that the code is done and tested, the attack is over and it is pointless. |

i see someone who sale things other than bitcoin in the market (league of legend) i am not receive the money in paypal i will receive the money in bitcoin ,, can i open thread with escrow for active paypal accounts using my visa cards ?
So you're saying that you are selling visa cards that can be used with paypal for Bitcoin. Just create a thread and say that you will accept escrow. Let the buyer choose the escrow and then you make sure that the escrow is trusted. The list of trusted escrows is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108716.0. The deal will typically be carried out through PM unless a dispute is involved. |

First of all, this is a BITCOIN site. You aren't going to get any business if you are selling things for PayPal.
As for escrow. How escrow works is that the buyer will send the amount of Bitcoin to be paid to a trusted third party called an escrow. Then the seller (you) will send the item. If the buyer receives the item and it is what he agreed to pay for, he will tell the escrow to release (forward) the Bitcoin to the seller. If the buyer disagrees with something about the item and wishes to dispute what you sent, then the escrow will mediate discussion and decide whether to send the funds to the buyer, seller, or some to both. Sometimes with digital goods, the escrow will receive the digital good and check whether it is what the buyer is paying for. If it is, he will forward the good to the buyer and the bitcoin to the seller, otherwise there will be a dispute.
BTW, this belongs in the marketplace section.

I have spoken with this person, and apologized for our argument, and asked him if he could please remove the negative rating.
He is refusing to do so.
What would be the wisest way to handle this situation?
I am open to suggestions. I just want this resolved as quietly and quickly as possible.
Is it appropriate to contact a Mod about something like this?
This is all new to me.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Talk to escrow.ms about having BenAnh removed from DefaultTrust. escrow.ms is the person on default trust who trusts BenAnh, which is why many people will see his ratings. If he is removed, then the rating will stay, but be less noticeable. explain the situation to escrow.ms and explain why you think he might be abusing trust. |

It may have a inadvertent positive effect as well as it apears usage has exploded as were over 190,000 tx per day now.
It isn't real usage. That is just the spammer spamming the blockchain incessantly, causing it to seem like usage has gone up when in fact it has not. Most of those extra transactions are just dust transactions between the attacker's own addresses. |

And what is the solution for that, so now it has been more than 24h with No any confirmation.
Do i need to do any thing?
There is any solution to make this transaction got confirmed faster
Thank you
There is no solution. Just wait. If it doesn't get confirmed, it will disappear from the network and your Bitcoin will not have moved. In that case, recreate the transaction, but send it with a higher fee. This will allow your transaction to be confirmed quickly. |

if there isn't one already someone should graph the unconfirmed transactions total...
would be good to see how it compares to all of previous bitocin history if someone has the data to plot.
Just look at statoshi.info. They have graphs and numbers for the stats of the unconfirmed transactions among other stuff. |

1NpEBm5F186S9fj3ftWcvXCczkmHrU9SRq is not spamming now, just made 2 transactions in 2015 about 75 Bitcoins
He is receiving a lot of the spam from the first two addresses. |
