I feel your pain.

Some pool operators just don't care about their userbase.

What's going on guys?

I posted a ticket with regards to a password reset over 2 weeks ago and you have still to acknowledge my request.

You claim to reply to all requests within 48 hours, but that is not true.

I cannot ask for a reset using my wallet address because I have not yet created a wallet address for my account.

Why the delay?

Hey guys, I have just signed up to triplemining.

Adding 10 - 11 Gh/s to the pool hashrate.

Don't know anyone locally who I can get to sign up, sorry.

If anyone is in Scotland and wants to join my minipool, you are more than welcome.

Oh and by the way adara. I think maybe you should focus more on your school work and less on this forum.

Just sayin'.  Roll Eyes

Peace.

** UPDATE **

I have fixed it and found the passphrase. I was only 2 digits out.

Looks like the Ruby script was not very good at finding my passphrase until I substituted lower case with upper case.
Man, I thought that was what the script was supposed to do.

I more or less had the passphrase correct before it actually found it.
In the end I was only out by about 2 characters.

Thanks for all the help and support.

Okay forget using j0hn the rIpper as I have fixed it.

8  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Lost passphrase on: September 16, 2013, 12:51:28 AM
Okay so I have been driven nuts for the last few days, and I am now at the end of my tether.
Bitcoin-QT insists my passphrase is wrong. I am convinced it is not.
There are posts on here suggesting the same. i.e. users are convinced they have not forgotten their passphrase but are locked out.
I have tinkered with some of the ruby scripts on here, and had no success.
Now I am looking at j0hn th3 r1pper to see if that can solve my problem.
Anyone on here used this app?
Do I just run it from the .bitcoin directory and let it do it's thing? Or do I need to do something to config file?
Any help / shouts / advice / pointers would possibly prevent me shaving another 10 years off my life.
TIA
Thistled.

Would you believe I am still reindexing. It seems there is a problem with 0.8.4 and there are a few posts in here suggesting the same problem with 0.8.5.

Anyhow, the scripts provided seem to be moving characters around as opposed to substituting an e with a 3. How the hell do I achieve this?
I know my passphrase, I just can't remember which characters are replaced with numbers.

Any clever ruby scripters in here?
10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: "Error opening block database. Do you want to rebuild the block database now?" on: September 15, 2013, 01:59:00 PM
Not just MAC, it's happening on Linux also.

I am now on my 3rd reindex, and to make matters worse, have forgotten some of my wallet encryption passphrase. But that is a different post.

What is giving me cause for concern now is the fact there is a post on here which says 0.8.5 solves the problem, but now I am seeing
users of 0.8.5 with the same problem.

WTF is going on?
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Encrypted wallet.dat, lost password, any solutions? on: September 14, 2013, 01:15:35 AM
Okay, thanks for all the advice / suggestions.  Cry

Still rebuilding the index. So, I suppose it will be tomorrow now before I can try this script.

TIA.

** UPDATE **

Okay, as I am using Gentoo Linux, I checked out which version of Ruby my system was set to use.
I have ruby 20 installed, but the system was using 18.  Sad
It is now set to 20 and I think the script is working. (The syntax errors have gone)
However I think I might have to play around with the "words" in the script.

I am currently having to rebuild the block index again  Cry
so I am not sure if the script will succeed while thats going on.

Should I wait until it has finished re-indexing?

Here's one for mik3 @ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170137 .

Anyone on Windows or who's had trouble getting these scripts to run may want to grab the test() function from this one.  It uses JSON-RPC instead of calling bitcoind, as suggested by 2112 above.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require "net/http"
require "json"

# Fill in your RPC username and password from your bitcoin.conf here.
$rpc_auth = "user", "pass"

max_bangs = 10
words = [
  [ "one"   , "One"   , "ONE"]   ,
  [ "two"   , "Two"   , "TWO"]   ,
  [ "three" , "Three" , "THREE"] ,
  [ "four"  , "Four"  , "FOUR"]  ,
]

def test(passphrase)
  puts passphrase
  request = Net::HTTP::Post.new("/")
  request.basic_auth *$rpc_auth
  request.body = { method:"walletpassphrase", params:[passphrase, 1] }.to_json
  response = Net::HTTP.new("localhost", 8332).request(request)
  if response.code == "401" ; puts "Incorrect RPC user/pass" ; exit 1 ; end
  ret = JSON.parse response.body
  if ret["error"].nil? ; puts "\nFound it! #{passphrase.inspect}" ; exit ; end
  return if ret["error"]["code"] == -14 # wrong passphrase
  raise "WTF? #{ret.inspect}"
end

def spin(phrase, array)
  return phrase if array.empty?
  array.first.map do |word|
    p = phrase.dup.push word
    spin(p, array[1,99])
  end
end

spin([], words).flatten(words.count - 1).each do |phrase|
  phrase.permutation(words.count) do |shuffled|
    (max_bangs + 1).times do |bangs|
      test shuffled.join(" ") + ("!" * bangs)
    end
  end
end

puts "No luck."

When I attempt to run this I get...

json.rb:20: syntax error, unexpected tSYMBEG, expecting kDO or '{' or '('
  request.body = { method:"walletpassphrase", params:[pas...
                                     ^

is this because I am trying to run the script on Linux. I aint a programmer but got the idea the " should be replaced with ( but that didn't make any difference either.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Encrypted wallet.dat, lost password, any solutions? on: September 12, 2013, 11:07:14 PM
So if system=./bitcoind does not exist, what should I replace it with?
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin Qt wont load after last sync on: September 12, 2013, 11:04:59 PM
Just run bitcoin-qt -reindex

It will take some time but it will fix it.

Something to do with the latest version of bitcoin-qt, and the blockchain.
16  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Encrypted wallet.dat, lost password, any solutions? on: September 12, 2013, 07:53:35 PM
This will mean the original ruby script will need changed, as it refers to the existence of /.bitcoind which I do not have.

Should I change the system=/.bitcoind reference in the ruby script to bitcoin-qt ?
Should I run the brute.rb script from the parent directory of .bitcoin, because if I don't it will reside in the same folder as wallet.dat, which as far as I understand, you should not do.

Also, because I am not running bitcoind, but bitcoin-qt with the settings Luke-Jnr suggested, then how do I "getinfo" before running the script?

So many frustrating questions.

TIA.

Thistled.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Encrypted wallet.dat, lost password, any solutions? on: September 12, 2013, 04:36:30 PM
The thing is, and I am really confused here.

I don't run bitcoind, I only run Bitcoin-QT, so where do I put the brute.rb file?

The thing is, if I install bitcoind and place the brute.rb file in the newly created bitcoind folder, how the hell is that supposed to find my passphrase, as the passphrase was created using bitcoin-qt.

Aggggghhhhh!

To make matters worse. I have just installed bitcoind, and it hasn't created a .bitcoind folder. WTF?

Using Gentoo with systemd here.

Can anyone currently connect to bitminter using stratum?
I am being told stratum protocol is not supported or disabled in libcurl. Which is nonsense.

Hey thanks for your help.

Finally got the symlink working.

Nice 1.
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin-Qt / bitcoind version 0.8.0 released on: March 09, 2013, 10:35:00 PM
Hi grondilu, yes I am using an NFS partition, and yes I am talking about moving the data to another computer.
The issue being, I can't mount .bitcoin on another partition, and I don't think that requires an individual entry in fstab, as the folder it is placed in is mounted anyway.

My system does not have a bitcoin.conf anywhere.
