Hey gang,

So as some of you might have already experienced (if you had the misfortune of using CampBX recently), they passively hold on to your bitcoins and whenever you want to withdraw them with the bogus "cold wallet" error, wait 5 hours and try again.

Of course, you email support and get some useless answer about trying later or with smaller amounts, and eventually get ignored.

Running a scam is. so. much. work.

Anyway, so I found a solution that worked for me, and within a few days I withdrew all my funds and now can't wait to permanently close that useless account!

1. Get Firefox.
2. If you have 2-factor authentication turned on in CampBX, turn it off
3. Install this Firefox add on:  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/imacros-for-firefox/
4. Log in, go to the withdraw page, record a macro to request 1.5BTC for example (start by refreshing the page so you get the form for the btc address, etc..).
5. Run your macro on slow, in a loop for 20000 times or so.
6. Watch the BTC (slowly) roll in!

It took me about a week to get 6.5 BTC out.   Don't bother with the API, they've rigged it so every failed attempt reduces your daily limit, so you'll never get anything out.  just fyi.

Cheers, enjoy, and quick! get your money!

Best,

Dan

Well it's been about two weeks or so since I've received these very special tiny coins...

Still, when I want to transfer them from Electrum, it forces me to use a transaction fee.

How old do these coins have to be before I can set a zero transaction fee ?

Thanks

Thanks Thomas.

Tried this morning but it still forces some min transaction.  If this is open source, mind if I change it to "suggested" fee with a warning if users set it to zero ?

Danny

Hey gang, so I've searched on this and can't seem to find a way to set zero fees in Electrum.  If I set it too small, it fails the transfer and says something like "hey, cheapskate, the community won't transfer your puny BTC, add some fees!"

But we know that, for "old" coins, and for transfers where we don't care how long they take, we can transfer with zero fees....

Sooooo, anyone know how to do this with Electrum ?

Thanks in advance

Danny

I know, I know, I'm so generous that way.

Turns out, this is exactly what the online gambling and lotteries do, just not as transparent as me ;-)

Here's the rules:
1. Ticket price is 0.01 BTC
2. 1000 tickets total, buy as many as you want
3. PM me return address
4. We will draw in a week to get 5BTC winner (if enough people play)

:-)

Ok, rolling!

Are these withdrawl issues limited to Polish or Canadian customers ? Or shall the rest of us (at least in the USA) expect the same. ?

The more I read the more nervous I get about using real $ to buy BTC ... if BTC is going to take off and be a legitimate currency alternative, there needs to be much much better reliability and predictability legitimacy in the system.  Well, maybe in time.

I've searched and can't really determine the answer.  I'm trying to buy some ASICS (see Zefir and the Avalon DIY thread).  Zefir says to include your address that you have control over.

By that, does he mean simply my public key bitcoin address that every wallet give me for others to send BTC to me ?  For example, this is one of my addresses (in case you'd like to send me some BTC) :: 1JMxLByhxr446qnibz9zerVFhM1yFnRJmk

Seems like a silly question, what other address would I give (clearly not my private key).

thanks in advance

Dan

Hey gang, somewhat new to BTC, ignored it in 2010 when a friend told me about it, well I didn't ignore it, I read all the papers and thought it was a cool idea, I think I downloaded the client and mined 2 or so bitcoins ... no idea where they are now :-)

Anyway a friend at work told me about the rise and fall of btc recently, so I got more curious.  since I'm working with a bunch of hardware guys in my team, I thought it would be fun to build some kind of ASIC boards ... for fun of course ;-)

The Atmel Sha256 chip does 1Mb/s throughput, so that's like 10 hashes a second (assuming a 100kB block) ... not even close :-)
