1  Economy / Collectibles / Any way to tell is these first edition bitcoin magazines are authentic? on: January 17, 2021, 07:33:53 PM
So I bought one on eBay and now I'm second guessing myself because the seller seems to have a suspiciously large supply.  If you search for completed items, you will see they have apparently sold over 30 copies, going back to October of last year.  It just seems weird that someone would have 30 copies to sell.  Not sure how hard it would be to counterfeit a magazine though.  The sell has been registered on eBay since 2003 and has other books/ magazines for sale and a 100 percent positive feedback rating.

I did message the seller after I purchased and asked how they came to own so many copies and the response was they aquired them when the magazine was first launched and are selling them due to financial issues.

Any way to know if my copy is legit?

2  Bitcoin / Wallet software / How to download Multibit Classic? Or how can I unencrypt .key file without it? on: December 29, 2020, 05:05:38 PM
I have an old multibit.key file that I'm trying to import into Electrum.  The text file has +'s and ='s, which I understand means it was encrypted by Multibit, thus I cannot just import it into Electrum without unencrypting it first.  How can I do that?  I understand that if I download Multibit Classic, I can use that, but I can't find it anywhere reliable.  Can it be downloaded here?  https://github.com/Multibit-Legacy/multibit  If so, how do I download it for Windows? 

Alternatively, is there a way to unencrypt it without using Multibit Classic? 

Thanks.
3  Economy / Collectibles / When selling, am I safe if I only accept BTC? Anything to watch out for? on: March 15, 2019, 01:12:55 PM
If I sell a physical good on here, and the buyer pays in BTC, is there anything I need to look out for?  I assume that as long as I wait to ship until I receive the payment, I am fine. 
4  Economy / Collectibles / Price check on a Graded (M65) 2011 Casascius coin (picture inside) on: March 01, 2019, 02:56:37 AM
I need some cash and I was thinking about selling one of my Casascius coins...  Just wondering with the current BTC market is.  I've been MIA on here for a while.  Here's a picture:


5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / How can I get BTC out of my old Multibit wallet? on: January 16, 2018, 02:51:49 AM
Multibit is no longer supported.  I cannot change the tx fees, and the standard fees are way too low, given the current state of the network.  Is there another software or online wallet I can use to import my private key and send from that wallet?   I tried to send a few days ago, but it's not showing up on either blockchain.info or blockexplorer.com.  It is only showing up in my Multibit wallet.

Also, since there is a pending, unconfirmed transaction from my Multibit wallet, will that screw anything up if I import my key to another wallet while that is still pending?

7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Can anyone EIL5 how to mine on zpool? on: December 08, 2017, 02:33:56 PM
Since NiceHash got hacked, I'm looking for a similar pool where I can use my GPUs to mine altcoins and get paid in BTC.  Zpool seems to be a good fit, but I can't figure out how to mine.  Specifically, I don't know what mining software to use.
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Where to GPU mine for BTC now that NiceHash has been hacked. on: December 07, 2017, 04:22:19 PM
I have two Rx470s that I've been using to mine on NiceHash.  I've been getting about $150 in BTC per month... not huge, but profitable.  Nicehash is now down due to the hack and I seriously doubt they'll be back.  Any suggestion similar pools?  I'm looking for something that will auto-switch alt-coins and pay out in BTC. 

Thanks.
9  Economy / Collectibles / Where to store Casascuis and other physical coins? on: November 30, 2017, 08:19:51 PM
Where do you guys store yours?  I just moved mine to a safe deposit box, but I learned that they're not FDIC insured.  Also, when I signed up, the bank made me sign a contract basically saying they have no liability for anything.  I'm not so much concerned about a bank robber, since they probably won't have the time to rip open boxes, especially when there may only be wills, deeds, and shit, but I am worried about a rouge bank employee. 

I guess it comes down to whether they are safer at your house, or in a bank. 
10  Economy / Collectibles / $50k Casascius Error Coin sold on eBay?? on: November 30, 2017, 02:14:26 AM
Anyone know anything about this one:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Unredeemed-2011-Version-1-Casascius-1BTC-Physical-Bitcoin-with-Hologram-error-/292341122813?

It's showing as sold for $50k.  There is also a prior one that shows as sold for $35k.  I'm obviously suspicious if this was a legit sale or glitch or what. 

11  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Will this transaction ever get confirmed? on: November 17, 2017, 12:52:44 AM
I sent this to a new address and it's been a few days and I don't see any confirmations:

https://blockchain.info/tx/62daa3f00b9c17857f29eb0ebf1df598b2c122f33228059e1fd46be18bf133db

How can I know when the transaction will be confirmed?

15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Unconfirmed transactions from mining pool from 2015??? on: June 13, 2017, 06:44:39 PM
Back when I was mining bitcoin, I used Eligius.  I've gone through one of my old addresses, and I found several unconfirmed transactions.  I only ever mined with Eligius and CEX.io, but I think this was from when I was mining with Eligius.  So this payment would have been a payout from mining, which is why I'm confused that it's referenced as a "double spend."  How can you double spend newly generated coins? 

Here's the transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/2b8aa01242c3204d52e65a86e4ab2d8c963d4cb4b07ae00a9da74e5f0112fea4

I'm totally confused.  Can anyone explain why these transactions are still unconfirmed?  Am I out those amounts or is there anything I can do?  Thanks.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Recommendations for Auto-Switching Altcoin Pool that Pays out in BTC? on: May 31, 2017, 01:07:13 PM
I have a meager 44 mh/s rig that I've been mining ETH with.  The difficulty has really gone up lately and now I'm looking for an altcoin mining pool that mines the most profitable coins, and then automatically converts and pays out in BTC.  Thanks.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / RX480s are only getting 22 mh/s on: March 19, 2017, 04:04:35 PM
What can I do to speed these things up?  I have two PowerColor 4GB Rx480 Red Dragons installed on an H97 ASRocks MB.  Each is getting between 21 and 22 mh/s.  I've tried changing the memory settings in WattMan to set "Memory" speed to 2020.  I'm mining ETH using Claymore.  Any tips?  I've read these should be able to get 25-28 mh/s each.

19  Bitcoin / Mining / Payouts from Ghash.io less than predicted? on: November 05, 2014, 03:59:13 PM
I have three Antminer S3s hashing away at ghash.io.  They have consistently been preforming at about 1.35 Th/s.  My payout at that hashrate should be about 0.01714295 btc per day according to:

https://alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator

My actual payments are much less though.  According to blockchain.info, I had a payout of 0.01094646 at 13:50:56 on 2014-11-04.  Then, a little more than 24 hours later at 14:08:48 on 2014-11-05, I had another payout of 0.01363418.  That's substantially less than what I should be earning, correct? 

Any idea what's going on?  My other payouts over the past few days are consistent with this, but at the old difficulty level.

Thanks.     

20  Bitcoin / Hardware / The package is awaiting clearing agency review. / The package is at the clearing on: October 30, 2014, 01:16:44 AM
I ordered a few S3s from Bitmain and they shipped them nice and quick, with a delivery estimate of Friday.  I checked this morning and the delivery estimate is gone and the message says:

The package is awaiting clearing agency review. / The package is at the clearing agency awaiting final release.

It hasn't moved all day and now Friday is looking unlikely.  Has anyone else had this issue?  How long does it take to clear customs?
