1  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: All my bitcoins locked in armory forever, how do I pull them out? on: October 20, 2013, 06:23:03 PM
First, try uninstalling and then reinstalling Armory from scratch.

Otherwise here is a solution, unfortunately it's not the best solution if you have a lot of addresses generated in Armory.

1. Start Armory in offline mode.
2. Open your wallet.
3. Click "Backup Individual Keys" on the right.
4. Copy the PrivBase58 keys into a Blockchain.info wallet using the "import private key" feature, one by one. You might need to remove the spaces from the key to get it to work.
5. Your funds will appear in the Blockchain wallet, and you can send them on their way.

There's probably a faster way than this, but it might be your easiest bet.
2  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Difficulty question on: September 27, 2013, 08:33:52 PM
It does when the hashing power of the network falls, which is basically when some miners turn off their machines for whatever reason. Historically, IIRC, this has only happened once: when the Bitcoin price fell to $2/btc a couple of years ago.

Is there a balancing point to the difficulty?



The difficulty reflects the average hashrate over the last 2016 blocks, and it aims to retarget the block time to 10 minutes, it's no more complicated than that.

Essentially asking if this is possible is equivalent to asking "can a computer program create a problem that a human can solve more efficiently than any other computer program" and I think that answer is no, as long as the code that creates the problem is open source.

I feel bad for asking but can someone send some testnet coins to: ms4ZVRmASRnrBdzoWTQpvnr4HVxfQppq9j. Or is there an testnet faucet?

http://tpfaucet.appspot.com/
http://testnet.mojocoin.com/

When I last used these faucets to get testnet coins, I noticed I had to wait a couple hours for them to arrive. Maybe a temporary issue. But if you try them and don't immediately receive coins, that's probably why.
5  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why are people panicing about Bitcoin's price? on: July 07, 2013, 01:36:38 AM
I just don't understand it. A crash happens in every currency. Do people think that Cryptocurrencies are different?

I honestly don't understand. Bitcoin has had worse crashes, yet $65.40 sets off 'panic mode'? Seriously, whats the deal? I don't want Bitcoin to fail, but it's going to happen again and again as long as Bitcoin is alive.



If you owned it over $200 and haven't yet sold... you're panicking.

That means you're too heavily invested, or you're allowing your emotions to get in the way. I have a few coins myself, but I see no reason to sell, because firstly I am not positive that the price will continue to fall (though I think it's likely), and secondly I have confidence that the price will rise again over the next couple years.

There are four categories of people who are selling right now:
1) Those who are freaking out because they believe Bitcoin is entirely downhill from here
2) Those who are freaking out because they are relying on cashing out before the market recovers to pay the bills (over-invested)
3) Those who are emotionally weak and are panicking solely because their coins' value is decreasing
4) Those who are day trading trying to make a few bucks off the market panic

If you are 1, then you'd better sell everything now - I'm making the opposite bet, namely that Bitcoin will not die out any time soon.
If you are 2, then you'd better sell enough now to pay your bills, you are over-invested.
If you are 3, you'd better go invest in a mutual fund instead, or better yet, get a high-yield savings account. Bitcoin is not for you.
If you are 4, then best of luck, I hope you can make a few bucks off the crazy price swings.
6  Economy / Economics / Re: Non-mandatory tx fees = "Benevolent" 51% attack cartel on: May 17, 2013, 04:12:42 PM
Why would the fee-charging miners go out of business? Wouldn't the fee-charging and non-fee-charging miners just coexist? If one large miner decides to confirm no-fee transactions instead of fee transactions, this will not economically incentivize the rest of the miners in any way, as far as I know.

And you were so close to redeeming yourself too  Undecided

Should have just left it at "I'm sorry."

I dont think my laptop is dope enough for that site, audio is all crackly :-(

Would you mind telling me your browser and operating system? I'd like to get bugs like this worked out!

Thanks.
10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Listen to bitcoin...fucking awesome! on: March 31, 2013, 09:29:22 PM
Thanks everyone! It took me about a week to make. I had originally made a thread but it looks like smoothie beat me by 8 minutes Smiley

If you have any questions/feedback, I'll be here off and on for the next few hours.

By the way, why the choice for vibraphone sounds?

Favorite instrument I guess? I also had some inspiration from Tonematrix.
12  Bitcoin / Project Development / [FINISHED] ListenToBitcoin.com - music generated from realtime transaction data. on: March 31, 2013, 09:04:37 PM
I just finished this site, which generates music from realtime Bitcoin transactions and trades, pulled from Blockchain.info and Mt.Gox. Hopefully I put this in the right subforum Wink


http://www.listentobitcoin.com/
Works with Chrome and Firefox (maybe Opera too.)

It's written heavily using javascript. Hope you like it, and I'd love to hear any feedback you have! There's also a Reddit thread with some more info.

Thanks!
13  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Creating little mining rig network on: March 21, 2013, 09:19:05 PM
The fact of the matter is that you will not have enough to solo mine effectively unless you have ASICs or a whole ton of FPGAs. Assume that you have five really beefy graphics cards running at 600Mhash/s each. With 3,000Mhash/s, you will find a block on average every 80 days at the current difficulty, which isn't worth it.

Instead, I would recommend setting up a P2pool node (just a computer running bitcoin and p2pool) and pointing all your miners towards it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.0

You get that great solo mining experience, the excitement of finding shares (which is almost as cool as finding blocks) except that you will actually get to make some coinage before the difficulty continues to jump over the next few weeks/months.

Alternatively, some people would tell you to join a regular pool because it will be a lot easier to set up. More yet will tell you to stop mining because unless you have free electricity it isn't worth the cost. Personally though, I would tell you to go ahead and try it, just to say that you have done it before, with the understanding that you will not make much.

Have fun!

Seriously though, they must have just been doing some maintenance or something, how long was the bitcoin donation option down again?
17  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to securely spend coins from a compressed offline private key? on: October 10, 2012, 08:16:30 PM
It's been over 16 hours now, no signs of the transaction on blockchain.info or my local client (not even unconfirmed) so I think I can safely say it wasn't a double spend.

Just tried pushing again via bitcoin client and it gave me the same error: "TX rejected (code -22)"

I would be curious to see the full list of error codes (does anybody have this? It would be extremely helpful), once again I looked hard for this on the internet but was unable to figure out what this error means.

Also, I just tried an empty "signrawtransaction" to validate the transaction as per this use case on the wiki (very bottom of the page): https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Raw_Transactions#Validate_a_transaction_without_broadcasting_it

It gave me this error: "Missing scriptPubKey (code -3)"

Does that mean that I didn't sign it properly? Or that I didn't define the outputs properly?

I got the raw transaction from offline version of http://brainwallet.org/#tx so it *should* be well-formed.

I'd still like to do this entirely offline so it would be great to know what's wrong with my raw transaction.
18  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: how do i see who/what deposited btc into my wallet? on: October 10, 2012, 01:39:11 PM
If you go to the blockchain.info site and search for your address you will come up with a list of transactions like this:

http://blockchain.info/address/14aRpAo5KuHvKbidiPJZ7LtfwLf62ZGbJL

Look on the left hand side and you can see the sender's address.

Of course you have to know the sender's address for this to be useful, but such is the anonymity of bitcoin.

If the transactions come from recently mined coins, you might be able to trace them back a couple transactions and find the mined block, which should be labelled with the mining pool or ip that found that block.

Good luck!

it could be extended as well.  Wink

Read this as "We can fork a blockchain separate from Bitcoin," which is a powerful tool, but it won't completely change the current bitcoin as we know it.
20  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What exactly happens when all the 21 million Bitcoins have been miined? on: October 10, 2012, 06:10:33 AM
Not much of anything really.

The block reward goes from being a tiny pittance to nothing, and by that time transaction fees will have overtaken block reward as the primary source of income for miners. At least this is how I understand it.

Here's a relevant post from roughly a month ago, if you look through it it might answer some more of your questions (might not):
