I wish I could afford one. I am so darn broke. No one has given me even 0.001 BTC for my fiat advertising efforts.  I'm still going to do it, but, I'd sure like someone to give me a little love. |

I wish I could do this, but, I've had a swagbucks account for a long time already, and I'm not gonna get a new one with no points on it. Is there no way to convert my swagbucks to bitcoin?

Hi! I just developed Bitcoin Pyramid (inspired by Bitcoin Randomizer). Here are some features: - no password or email address needed - no limitations on hierarchy depth - no limitations on the size of membership fee (you can start with 0 btc!) - about a half of deposited money goes to random members - new members that do not follow referral links become referrals of random members - automatic payouts when income hits the threshold ( 0.01 0.021 btc currently) - all the pyramid info is published on the site, daily backups of the whole mysql database are available at http://bitcoinpyramid.com/backups- due to previous 2 features, there is almost nothing to hack! It is in alpha beta-stage yet, I will be grateful for any questions, comments and bug reports. One time offer for unique forum members: if you get registered in Bitcoin Pyramid with Member Id <= 50 100 >= 422, then please send me your Member Id before I strike out this sentence and I will send 0.01 btc to your withdrawal address. I am a new member, 824, I want a 0.01 BTC.  I'm so poor and broke, someone, please, I'm Begging you, gimme bitcoin! Please? With a cherry on top? |

No interest huh? Well, I'm not really interested all that much in betting games. Puzzle games, RPGs, and RTSs, sure, but gambling isn't my cup of tea. I've totally lost interest in the only gambling game I liked, Bitcoin Darts. *sigh* Mostly because I'm far too frustrated with my broken wallet, and no way to fix it yet. Dangit, when will export/import of wallet data to/from JSON text be included in the main branch?! I want to upgrade, Now, and fix my wallet!
Huh? So you are thinking that Bare-Games are gambling/betting games? Very wrong assumption  So far all games have nothing to do with luck. You don't bet/win any BTC. It's just for fun. No... I didn't mean to say that I think these are gambling games. I meant to say I'm interested in these games, Bare-Games looks cool. But there is one problem, when I get on and see no players, it turns me off and I go somewhere else. If Everyone does that, then who would log in and stick around till someone finally joins in on a game? I just encountered an error when I told it to log me in using facebook. |

I'm not worried about block chain size nearly as much as log file size. Is there some way to make bitcoin restrain it's log file to a certain size, deleting older log data as it goes? I've had to switch storage spaces several times to accommodate the log file, or delete the log file after shutting down the bitcoin client.

Well, anyway, thanks to pywallet.py, whatever branch, I've got a wallet that isn't broken with 0/unconfirmed transactions that refuse to be processed by the bitcoin network, Yay! And now I will run bitcoin more often, and backup my wallet more often too. |

|

Yes, it looks like that. |

I also tried it with that option. Same error. I also tried it with the long form of the path. --pwpath=c:\progra~1\bitcoin\pywallet\ Same error. |

I got an error when I tried to use walletco.py, with your pywallet.py branch, JackJack. C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\pywallet>walletco.py --wpath=m:\bitcoin\old\ --nwpath=m

Hi all While playing with the bitcoin client, I made some 0/unconfirmed transactions (no confirmation for 2 days) I didn't find anything simple to recover the bitcoins lost When I finally found a method to cancel those transactions I made a python script to make that simple
So, are those unconfirmed transactions still a problem?
If so I'll write here how to cancel them
Here it is: 0. I'm assuming that your wallets are in Bitcoin default directory, if not, use -w and -n options at step 6 1. Backup your broken wallet.dat 2. Rename it wallet.old 3. Find the wallet into which you want to add the old adresses (you can run bitcoin to create a brand new one) and rename it wallet.new 4. Download my pywallet fork: https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet and write down the directory you put it 5. Download my walletco: https://github.com/jackjack-jj/walletco6. Assuming both wallet.new and wallet.old are in bitcoin default directory(if not, look at walletco options), run this: /path/to/walletco.py -p /pywallet/directory/ -W wallet.old -N wallet.new 7. Rename wallet.new to wallet.dat (or use my bitcoin fork to chose the walletfile) In the next release, walletco will auto backup both wallets Feel free to make pull requests and tell me if it fixed your wallet I love you, in a platonic way, for doing this! Awesome! |

Thanks jackjack. I didn't see this message till after I'd recorded the necessary macros to convert the json text into a batch importing file. It's now working on importing all my keys, nice and easy. I'll go download that script and work with it, some other time. I'll just wait till the importing is all done and see what happens. |

Until its added: check what Joric made: https://github.com/joric/pywalletIt makes exporting/importing keys easy without recompiling Bitcoin. It does it right to the wallet using a python script! Still new but pretty cool and easy! Thank you so much bitlotto, or whoever you really are! I'm going to try out pyWallet, yay! I've been using python for various things for a while, I'm very happy with pyTiVo for instance. Ok, I have downloaded pywallet.py, I've run it and told it to dump my wallet in JSON format, and it dumped keys to my screen. So, I told it to dump the output text to a file I called wallet.json.... now what? How do I import into a new, clean and undamaged, wallet? Usage: pywallet.py [options]
Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--dumpwallet dump wallet in json format
--importprivkey=KEY import private key from vanitygen
--datadir=DATADIR wallet directory (defaults to bitcoin default)
--testnet use testnet subdirectory and address type
Thank goodness for advanced text editors like Notepad++ and Textpad that have macro recording functionality. I created macros to edit the json text file to create a batch file that would run all of the key importing quick and easy. |

I have no job, no income, and I'm broke. My credit is therefore way down. When I HAD employment I tried to keep up with all of my bills, and maintained a pretty good credit rating. Having a bad credit rating, these days, actually makes it harder to get a job, harder to get a place to live, etc. How could I possibly build up BT credit? Or reputation, if you are talking about a trust system, like Web of Trust. I was given 0.5 BTC way back when I first started on my own BTC journey. Since then I've received and spent a total of 8 BTC, or something, even though at any given point I rarely had more than 1 BTC in my wallet. Does that mean I've built up some trust? I dunno. Could I borrow and pay back a bitcoin? Then borrow and payback two? Then three, etc.? Incrementally working my way up?
If someone gave me enough BTC to purchase and run my own mining rig, I'd be able to Earn BTC and pay a monthly amount till I finally pay off the loan. And I'd do that, and not skip off with the BTC, because the incentive of being Trusted for higher and higher loan amounts is far better than the horrible feeling I'd have from stealing all those bitcoins and losing all the trust I'd built up over time.

Since there's no interest at all I cancel the second prize.

Alright, whatever. I guess our ideas of incredibly useful are different. Personally, I don't want to have to export my entire wallet, cherry-pick addresses out of it that I want to delete, then re-import the rest, just to delete a simple key. It makes sense to create an easier process for this.
I agree with you, I like easy, easy is good, easy makes my head not hurt. Uhm... I guess that's all. When can I do dumpwallet and importwallet? Or whatever. I want to fix my wallet, dangit.  *sigh* I haven't run the bitcoin app in a while, and I have lost all interest in doing so, until my wallet can be fixed. What ever shall I do? I love bitcoin, the idea, the revolution, but... I am too frustrated with this technical issue and the total lack of a solution I can implement Right Now.  |

I may have completely missed it, but, I still can't figure out a way to fix my wallet by using dumpwallet to a JSON text file, then create a new wallet file and import that text file, minus the hung transactions, into the new wallet file, with all the keys and stuff from the damaged one. Can you please help me do this? Or do I have to wait until these new commands are included in the main branch, and then I download and install a newer version of the client to be able to use them?
Warning, I'm not a programmer, I don't understand C++, java, python, or anything even remotely as complex. I understand plain HTML and BBS scripting, that's pretty much it. So, don't just tell me to recompile this and that on my machine, I have no idea how to do that. A step by step set of instructions, I can follow. Just don't be vague, expecting me to already understand stuff that you do.
I'm using windows XP, and I'm not about to upgrade to windows 7 any time soon. I also use Kubuntu, but not a whole lot, as this is my Dad's laptop, and my old laptop died a while ago.

I'm an unemployed trained computer technician, I need work very much, and I'd love to earn bitcoins instead of USD. I still have debts and bills to pay in USD though, which sucks. I'm trying to find a job the usual way, applying, sending my resume, etc. But nothing has panned out yet. I can do data entry, clerical stuff, phones, etc. But, despite my expertise with computers, I simply can't wrap my brain around programming in C, C++, C#, Java, Javascript, Perl, and Ruby. Not even Ruby on Rails. It all baffles me too much. I would love to write articles for bitcoins, but what do I write about? I write a lot, and I get a lot of great feedback. But, I have ADD, and I can only write what happens to be on my mind at the time, I can't focus enough to decide what to write about. For instance, I'm trying to think of a topic right now to write an article about on wikinut.com, but it just won't come to me. I'm drawing a blank. If anyone wants help on a mini-task of some kind, I want to help. Something I know how to do, not something that would be impossible for me. I can't do everything you guys can do, I'm no developer or web designer. I can find and report bugs in programs and websites, and even figure out fixes for them, I've done that many times, but, like I said, I can't program, so I can't debug code. I can debug HTML, but that's just simple markup language, not programming, Huge difference. |
