First of all, who stole them and how?
2  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are so many people against bitcoin? on: December 27, 2017, 10:26:28 AM
I'm trying to understand why are so many people against bitcoin?  is it the innovation that scares them? the feeling of staying behind? the fact that that money will go to the wrong hands?


The fear among the common layman is mostly due to a lack of education. Humans are curious by nature but by the same token, they're easily spooked and tend to follow the herd. A lot of people WANT to try it but we're up against media manipulation, controlled by a small group of elite fear-mongers that are doing everything in their power to scare the public. They say ridiculous things like "BTC is not backed by anything or that its too volatile, or - get this -- that it's used by criminals" and what not. But you want to know the truth?

The truth is that crypto is backed by data. Your data, my data, the data of everyone that chooses to use it and what is more valuable these days than data? Not even gold. Bitcoin is designed for people by people. We own it, not THEM. Its OUR data, not theirs. This scares the elitist fear-mongers to death. The fact that they can't control it scares the panties off of them. They know we've tapped into our own power, they realize that cryptocurrencies like the almighty bitcoin could mean the end of their rule.

That its used by criminals? Look around. Our leaders are all criminals. Their crimes are against US! The very people that put them there. Putin, Trump, Duarte, Kim-Jong, May, They're all #THUGS playing with our lives and the organizations behind them, are playing with OUR money! Funding their f*cking wars, bailing out their dirty banks, giving our taxes to the super rich.

That is too volatile and can crash at any moment? Stop right there. Explain to me the 2008 crash where millions lost their homes, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Argentina... people in these countries lost ALL of their money due to 'austerity' measures where banks didn't allow them to take their money out. Any FIAT can go belly up these days. There are no guarantees. Besides, we all know these F*ckers are printing money left and right and that it's not backed by anything.  

The main limitation we have is education. People are scared because the very word BLOCKCHAIN sounds so technical. Technology is still a limitation for a huge chunk of the worlds population. Those of us whom have adopted crypto, be it Etherium, btc, lightcoin, etc, have a responsibility to educate others that are new to this. Please, make it yourpersonal calling to share your knowledge with those that are less informed whenever possible. Don't ask any money for it, don't expect anything in return, just share knowledge for the sake of everyone.

Together, we can do anything. Bitcoin unites us all in more ways than one. It crosses all digital divides, it liberates us from the economic tyranny that has shackled us for so many generations. Everyone can contribute, everyone can prosper, everyone can share.

If you have a stash of coins, don't sell it because you're afraid to lose money. You won't. Crypto is here to stay, that's for damn sure. It can only get better so HOLD on to it. HOLD, HOLD, HOLD. The elitists are pumping and dumping in hopes that you'll sell so they can buy it up and believe me, they will. We can't let them get their filthy hands on what's ours. I challenge you to hold, contribute to this revolution and UNITE against the machine.

One last thing: If you own a business, start accepting bitcoin or any other crypto. You'll be doing humanity a great service.

Long live Bitcoin and may all the other cryptos, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem, serve humanity forever.

Try to adjust the date of your pc back to when it was working and see if helps.

This is interesting. Why would that work?

Yes, did that as well. I haven't tried nearly as much combinations though. If I KNEW the length of the password, it would be most helpful. Does anyone know where/how I can find the length of a passphrase? Is it somewhere on the debug logs or any other file in the core files?

BTC Recover might be helpful if you know part or some of the password.
6  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Passphrase length on: December 26, 2017, 08:16:30 AM
Hi,

Still trying to figure out what TF happened to my passphrase. I didn't change it (checked that) and it's been the same for years but sometime between Nov 27 and Dec 5th it stopped accepting the passphrase.

On Dec 5 I found this in the debug -- it never appeared before. Is it possible the the wallet automatically assigned itself a new passphrase??

2017-12-05 13:02:17 Binding RPC on address ::1 port 8332 failed.
2017-12-05 13:02:17 HTTP: creating work queue of depth 16
2017-12-05 13:02:17 No rpcpassword set - using random cookie authentication
2017-12-05 13:02:17 Generated RPC authentication cookie C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\.cookie

Is there any way for me to find out the length of my passphrase? I've tried brute force (btc recover) using the passphrase I know but it's exhausting every possible combination. If I could know the length, it might help me create a more precise tokenlist.

I'm using Bitcoin version v0.14.2 , Win10

Anyone?

ANYBODY?? Can someone help me here??
8  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / --DUMPWALLET - TXT File Empty on: December 21, 2017, 11:48:13 PM
Hi,

I'm trying to recover my password and need to extract the encrypted hash. I'm using python 27 on Win10. Installation is working fine, all systems are go. Except the TXT file I create to dump the data always comes up empty.  Can someone explain WHY it's always coming up empty? This is the command I'm using to run the script:

C:\Python27\pythonw pywallet.py --dumpwallet > myhash.txt


FYI: When I try this command below, I get 'FILE NOT FOUND'

C:\Python27\python pywallet.py --dumpwallet > myhash.txt

Would be so very grateful if anyone can help me understand what I might be doing wrong.

The problem could be a number of possible things.

You could have malware which is messing with the clipboard and resulting in bad text being copied and pasted. In this case, you should perform a malware scan on your computer.

Your wallet file could also be corrupted so the passphrase no longer works (and also the private keys are corrupted so you may not even be able to access your Bitcoin). In this case, you should restore a backup of your wallet file (of course back up the wallet file first to another location, then restore a different, older backup) and trying to see if that works too.

That sounds scary but I don't think this is the case because I manage to copy/paste from other text files just fine. The corrupt wallet is even worse. Is it normal for wallets to just lock like that? If so, I'd consider that a SERIOUS bug in Core client. Any documentation that you know of mentioning this as a common problem?

I found  this error message on the Debug file and it never appeared at any time since I installed it. Oddly enough, it appears exactly on the day that my wallet stopped accepting my password:

2017-12-05 13:02:17 No rpcpassword set - using random cookie authentication
2017-12-05 13:02:17 Generated RPC authentication cookie C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\.cookie

What does it mean???

12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Copy/Paste Passphrase from Notepad - Possible Error on: December 16, 2017, 09:40:29 PM
Hi all!

I recall my last passphrase but I was copying it from notepad .txt file. I opened up the txt file but guess what? Doesn't open! I cannot access this .txt file anymore. Thankfully I know the phrase, it is the same as I have had for years - WearelivingInahologramstupid$*** --  I type in the passphrase, doesn't work! I'm not sure why the notepad file its not opening but I'm wondering if MAYBE the copy/paste was adding random characters. 

I typed in the passphrase on notepad when I first set up this particular wallet and then I would copy it from that notepad. I would always copy/paste it from the text file.  What do you guys think? Could it be that Copy/Paste added extra random characters? It doesn't make any sense right? Or WAIT! Is it possible that some hacker maliciously changed by PW and is just loves watching me squirm? I can't figure this out! What could be the problem?
