Hi there. I'm a long time user of Electrum, actually running the latest version. Never had serious issues with this wallet since i use it and holding quite a serious amount in it.
I had this strange thing happened to me yesterday for the first time.

I was running my pc with electrum wallet opened in my programs when suddendly the pc crashed (win 10) making a new "blue screen of death" that I have never had the pleasure to see before, then my pc collected issue data and restarted.

after restart i went opening electrum and i noticed he was prompting me for a new wallet! What the heck i thought... Luckily i'm a skilled user and got my seed in a secret place where i can find for these necessities and i restored the missing wallet with that.

I just wonder why i got my electrum wallet deleted with the crash??
It has to be specified that I had many electrum *.wallet in the same folder.
Default wallet and another wallet didn't disappeared, but the one i was using yes.

Did this happened to anyone else around here? Or can someone more technically skilled explain to me what could happened?

Best regards.

[BitcoinCashClassic]

I'm proud of announcing the release of BitcoinCashClassic a cryptocurrency from the community to the community!


The specs:

Total coins ever mineable through PoW + PoS: 21000000 XBS
1st year total mining reward: 16000000 XBS - (redeemed coins with 1:1 ratio swap)
PoS stake reward: 0.5% starting from block 800000 (around 11 months after launch)
Max blocksize: 6Mb (Biggest blocks in cryptos)
Block Time: 60 seconds (optimized for the fastest tx confirmation time without compromising security)
Algo: Sha256 + PoS


To ensure a proper and fair launch XBS will feature a slow start mode. The first 1440 blocks (nearly 1 day of blocks) will produce 0 coins each block to give time to everyone to point their miners to XBS.
Then, every 1440 blocks until we reach 50 coins per block, the block reward increase as scheduled below:

Last block number will be modified according to the total amount of XBS will be redeemed through the 1:1 swap.

Up to block 1440: 0 XBS
Up to block 2880: 5 XBS
Up to block 4320: 10 XBS
Up to block 5760: 15 XBS
Up to block 7200: 25 XBS
Up to block 8640: 50 XBS
Up to block 432000: 25 XBS
Up to block 864000: 12.5 XBS

Is there anyone out there still mining BCC BCH (BitcoinCash)?

Seems the blocks are stuck since 12 hours now according to https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/blocks and https://cash.coin.dance/blocks.

Does anyone has maybe any updates for this?

please delete mods.

As title says i own the domain name "bitcoinsegwit.com".

It's for sale from now until an adequate offer is made.

Thanks! 

For sale: 8 BFL chip credits

Price: 0.06btc each.  Can do escrow if the buyer wishes.  PM please.

Seems like an ideal, if legally questionable, use for Bitcoins.

Police cracking down on tax dodgers smuggling cash out of Italy in their shoes, underwear and even cigarettes have announced a steep increase in seizures, thanks in part to the use of labradors trained to sniff out bank notes.

In the first seven months of 2012, police at ports, airports and border crossings seized 41 million euros ($47 million) - up 78 per cent year on year - from travellers trying to avoid creeping austerity taxes in Italy.

Not exactly the best association to make to with bitcoins, but it's getting the currency's name out there in popular Australian media (online and print).

"Once in, the website brazenly advertises cocaine, LSD, ecstasy and other illicit substances, which are purchased with virtual currency called "Bitcoins" and delivered to the buyer through Australia Post."

I've just switched on a PC I haven't used for 3 months.  Had no need to use it until today to recover some data.  Just for the heck of it I loaded the bitcoin client (the machine was once used for GPU mining) and saw I had 0.67BTC.  Big suprise, I thought the wallet had none.  I've left the client running and it's slowly but steadily ticking over with more and more bitcoins added to the balance.

I had absolutely no idea I had any in the Bitcoin ether.  A pleasant susprise, to be sure, but it also highlighted to me how easy it is to forget bitcoins and possibly lose them forever.  I wonder how many have already been lost and cannot be recovered?

Day low price just went to $2 (as reported on Bitcoin Charts), high was $14.2, and now all trades have disappeared.  Not really good enough.

Hi,

I'm selling a PCIe 1x to 16x adapter with 19cm flexible cable with molex connector.  Unwanted purchase from the USA.  Would suit an Australian buyer who wants the item in a couple of days rather than a week or two.  Cable is new and has not been used.

Price: 1.4 BTC inc postage in Australia. 

Please private message me if interested.

The recent significant increase in a Bitcoin's value versus the US dollar may be related to online press coverage.  Daily Reckoning has finally noticed Bitcoin and run a lengthy article on 3 June:  http://dailyreckoning.com/an-emerging-free-market-currency/

Daily Reckoning's general world view is pro-gold, pro-silver, anti inflation and anti government intervention.  It has a reasonably wide readership.
