I think I got it, needed walletpassphrase "your walletpassphrase here" 600 to unlock encrypted wallet.

My experience is the same. two browsers on my regular PC, and IE on two other different PCs all same experience.


it gives error: Private key for address (myaddress) is not known (code -4)

I had found that doing some of my own research, when you attempt to drag/drop the wallet.dat the browser behaves like you've downloaded the file, eg. "do you want to open or save wallet.dat..." it dosn't make it into blockchain.info's web app. Tried in both internet explorer and firefox.

Years ago I used bitcoin-qt.exe and for a while would run it and let it update/download the blockchain in order to send any BTC. I had not done so for a very long time, and recently tried firing it up again but it was unable to fully update the blockhain, giving an i/o error or some such. Sence it was borked, I nuked the blockchain files to get some HDD space back. I have saved (from the distant past) my bitcoin_wallet_encrypted.dat. I was assuming I could import this into some new service/application, but I'm not finding any ability to do so. How can I get myself back access to my BTC?

If you escrow on someplace like localbitcoins.com only you can cancel the order.
You could do a balance check (I'm assuming this functionality exists) with time showing, and keep that to submit to the localbitcoins resolution staff in case they need to make a determination to resolve the escrow.
Other than that, pick the most reputable user and look carefully for negative feedback. Somebody with hundreds of positive transactions isn't likely to reverse that trend on you.

Are you not accepting new members? I've attempted to make an account for the last 3 days and every time I get "Sorry, registration is currently disabled. Please try again later (User not allowed)". No, I'm not accessing it through tor.

Quick question on 50btc features like "Stratum"...

Does the pool automatically adjust what it sends the client, say, if they are using ASIC hardware?
Or do you need to set up and/or launch your miner different or with different settings?

I am mining on 50btc with a hashrate of about 5.7 GH/s with cgminer v3.3
I see on the webstite where you can adjust difficulty, that is independent of stratum, correct?

Site's updating my stats just fine.

I have never had a payout from them (new to this). Not only is it showing that I have paid out BTC, that number is increasing as I mine. I hope that they get the proper reward rate, but also get the payout number fixed too. If I end up with any sort of number in the payout field when I've never taken a payout, well, then something's wrong.

I've made my few introductory posts and I've lurked for a while so I've got to be close to being able to post elsewhere, but if somebody wants to go ahead and approve me now, I'd be fine with that too

I'm interested too, specifically Texas holdem with other players?

Just minimize risk, you can never eliminate it.

You mean ponzi scheme?

Yes, hi.

Well, posting 5 times isn't really hard, but it'll certainly result in spammy garbage posts.

(sorry for resurrecting and old thread, but this is one that I keep running into doing searches on the topic)

So, have people had success in getting scheduled tasks to start miners? I've been having the damnedest time. I love Redemption.man's batch file example and it works great when running it manually, but as any sort of scheduled task I can never get any mining to actually take place. When using a scheduled task, I can see that the miner starts, but upon checking GPU load I can see that no mining is taking place.  I am using poclbm, but will use any miner that works better with scheduled tasks if anybody can point me in the right direction. Here's the batch I run (run.vbs is commands to launch a given prompt hidden and run.bat is the commands to run poclbm username/password/flags)

edit: running Windows 7 x64, by the way.
