Other / Meta / Forum post count problems

on: March 13, 2016, 07:56:41 PM

While I was looking at Chris!'s profile (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=662129) to figure out why his requests kept failing on my site, I noticed that there seem to be a few post count counting problems on this forum. If you look at Chris!'s profile (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=662129), you will notice that the post count is reported as 187. However if you look through his show posts pages (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=662129;sa=showPosts), you will notice that the count of the posts there do not match up with the reported post count. The counts are in the upper left hand corner of each post and the last post listed (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=662129;sa=showPosts;start=180) has a count of 189, not 187. In fact, for nearly every user that I have looked at, their post count in the profile is actually one above what the count is in the show posts page. Why is this so and is this a bug? Also, I understand why there would be post counts reported as above the number shown in show posts since some users have posts in hidden boards like staff boards or the trashcan. Those posts are in the post count but not in the show posts pages. What I don't understand is why there would be a post count reported as less than what is in the show posts pages.

Economy / Services / [ANN] Achow101's escrow service

on: February 22, 2016, 11:17:23 PM

My name has changed from knightdk to achow101. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1609738.0.

I am now opening an escrow service!

Always wait for or ask for a PGP signed message from me before sending me any Bitcoin. Always verify the message you receive.

I will no longer be escrowing Forum Account sales.

I will escrow nearly everything so long as it is legal. Some examples:
Digital trades (e.g. Bitcointalk accounts, domains)
IPOs/ICOs (e.g. altcoin IPOs)
Signature Campaigns
Physical trades (e.g. miners)

I can do both 2 party and multi party escrows.

I am offering two types of escrow, traditional and multisig.
Traditional escrow requires that you trust me to hold onto the funds and release them when requested.
Multisig is using a multisignature Bitcoin address which does not require that you trust me to not steal the funds.

I will be charging fees for my services. The following is a baseline but they can be decreased and negotiated
Private party escrow (e.g. product trade): 0.01BTC or 1% of the trade value, whichever is greater
Multi-party escrow (e.g. Sig campaign): 5% of the amount

How to conduct an escrowed trade
1. Contact me through PM to initiate the escrow. Make sure that the message you send contains who the buyer and seller are, how much is being paid, who is paying the fee, and whether to use multisig. I will assume by default the trade will be using traditional escrow
2. I will respond with a PGP signed message with instructions which will contain the details of the transaction and where the Bitcoin should be sent.
3. If any dispute arises, I will be the judge and resolve it as fairly as possible. I will make a decision and release the Bitcoin to the proper parties. I will remain neutral throughout the dispute.

Contact
Bitcointalk PM: This is the only method through which I can be contacted and the only method through which any escrow instructions will be sent.

I am online at the following times (all EST):
Weekdays: 4:00 PM - 10:00 PM (sometimes I will be on earlier but on mobile so I may not be able to provide escrow)
Weekends: 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM

My PGP Public Key
This is my PGP public key, always make sure that any instructions that I send are signed with this PGP key. It can also be accessed at https://keybase.io/achow101/key.asc

Will Armory support Opt-in RBF? Will we be able to send transactions that both Opt-in and then can also be replaced? Will Armory also inform us if a transaction that we receive is opt-in?

on: January 20, 2016, 09:12:20 PM

Anyone know how to remove a watch only address from Bitcoin Core? I have a watch only address in my Bitcoin Core wallet that I don't want there but I can't figure out how to delete it. There is no RPC command for it that I could find and pywallet doesn't seem to be able to remove it.

Other / Meta / What can banned accounts do?

on: December 12, 2015, 04:41:23 AM

What exactly can a banned account do? What can they read, what can they change, etc. I want to know this because I may have the account that I use for part of my account price estimator banned (as in ask a staff member to give it a permaban). I would want this because I fear I may one day accidentally publish the password for the account on giving when I publish each new code update. I don't want random people to be able to access the account and post from it. However before making such a request, I need to know whether having that account banned will work for my purposes. Also, having that account banned wouldn't get me banned for ban evasion since I will have requested that it be banned, right?

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Standardizing Tech support help requests

on: December 09, 2015, 11:46:29 PM

So I have been seeing here on the Technical Support forum for a while that most tech support requests start with a long back and forth of question and answer. The OP posts a question, but without details and then people follow and post asking for OS, debug.log, more details, txids, addresses, etc. I propose that we create a standard form for tech support requests where this unnecessary posting is eliminated and all of the necessary details are provided in the OP so that the members here can immediately help the OP without a long back and forth of just details and not actually helping. Here is my proposed format: Wallet Software and version number: Operating System: System Specs: Problem description: Any related transactions ids: Any related Bitcoin addresses: Screenshot of the problem: Debug log if Bitcoin Core: The screenshot can be uploaded to any image hosting site and the link either posted or the image embedded. The debug log should be the last several hundred lines and posted in code brackets.

Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / gui for some rpc/console commands

on: November 03, 2015, 04:19:39 AM

How come some of the console/rpc commands don't have a gui version for Bitcoin Core? Stuff like the multisig addresses or the accounts that can be done through the console don't have a gui in Bitcoin Core that would make it much easier for users. Why is that? I will attempt to write the gui stuff, but first I need to figure our how Bitcoin Core does its gui through QT and how to modify it.

Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / tampering with bip70 payment requests

on: October 26, 2015, 11:47:13 PM

From what I can understand, if a payment request isn't signed using an X.509 certificate, then there isn't anywhere in the request that is hashed or signed to verify its integrity. So how does it prevent tampering with the request between the server and the user if no authentication is used? Or is there no such mechanism?

Economy / Scam Accusations / [RESOLVED] scam accusation against user tautvilis

on: October 12, 2015, 11:54:12 PM

What happened:: Tautvilis hired me to write him a program which I did and we used an escrow. That deal went smoothly. Then, he hired me again to create a simple on chain dice site, which I also did, but we did not use an escrow. For this deal, he has not paid me yet. We agreed to a price of 0.1BTC which we later upped 0.12BTC. I have repeatedly pm'ed him about payment, but he has not responded to my latest PMs. He claimed (on the first pm) that he was waiting for another user who apparently actually hired him to find someone to do the job. He did not say who that was. The site is http://ashdice.tk/. Scammers Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=151022 Reference Link: Amount Scammed: 0.12 Payment Method: Bitcoin Proof of Payment: PM/Chat Logs: Quote from: knightdk on October 04, 2015, 03:44:11 PM Quote from: tautvilis on October 01, 2015, 05:28:21 PM Well it seems to be working.Don't think that I will not pay, I have contacted one person(I will not reveal his identity) and don't think that I am selling him the site cause I don't even have access to the server and I don't need it you can run my site I don't care about it.If he responds positively than I release the funds if not I say why.He ussually logs in every day or two and last time he logged in yesterday so I guess he will login soon. Best regards, tautvilis You gonna pay? Quote from: tautvilis on October 04, 2015, 03:54:34 PM Quote from: knightdk on October 04, 2015, 03:44:11 PM You gonna pay? OH man I got so exited that that person finally responded and it was you.I am opening this site every 5 mins just to see if he responded.It's pretty akward that he had already logged in twice but hadn't responded me.I am waiting for the monday I hope he will respond then.In the mean time maybe add some colors or something if you have time.And yes I am going to pay. Best regards, tautvilis That was the last I had heard from him. Since then I have pm'ed him multiple times, but he never responded Quote from: knightdk on October 09, 2015, 09:25:26 PM When I take the the site down, I will also open a scam accusation against you. If you tell me who the person that asked this from you is, then the scam accusation will be against him, with you simply mentioned as the middleman. The first option will definitely get you red trust, the second probably not. Or you could just pay me. Quote from: knightdk on October 10, 2015, 06:09:54 PM one day warning Quote from: knightdk on October 12, 2015, 11:37:05 PM Your time is up. I will be opening a scam accusation against you now. Additional Notes: Although in the PMs I said I would take the site down, I am leaving it up just to show that I actually did the work. I know I also said that I would do this on the 11th, but I was busy yesterday so I am doing it now. Also, I think this user may be yakuza699 since he sent me a pm where he signed it with yakuza699 instead of tautvilis. Quote from: tautvilis on September 20, 2015, 11:27:23 AM Quote from: knightdk on September 17, 2015, 01:13:49 PM Good. It's almost done. But a lot of testing might be needed because I might have done the blockchain wrong. How much longer will it take?

Other / Meta / PSA: ACCOUNTS WILL BE LOCKED IF THE SECRET QUESTION IS USED TO RECOVER IT

on: October 12, 2015, 09:52:12 PM

This is a Public Service Announcement: If you lose your password, DO NOT USE THE SECRET QUESTION TO RECOVER THE ACCOUNT. It will result in your account being locked. Please use the email recovery option to recover the account. The reason that the accounts are locked is because the May 2015 hack leaked Bitcointalk's database which did not securely secure the Secret Question and Answer. To prevent people from guessing the answers, theymos made it so that accounts that are recovered using the secret question are automatically locked when the option is attempted. This is to prevent hackers who may be able to guess the answers from the leaked database. If you have had your account locked, to recover it, please send and email to the email displayed on your screen when you try to login. You can also create a new account and pm both theymos and badbear. In the email and PM, to prove your identity, You MUST sign a message with a bitcoin address that you have posted previously, at least 2 months prior. Please be patient. Theymos and BadBear are busy people. Your email or pm may become lost among all of the other stuff that they have to do. You should resent your email and pm once a week so that they will see it and get around to you. If you need help signing a message, check this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=990345.0 If you haven't lost your password yet or you have regained access to the account, don't set the secret question, it can be a hassle. Make sure that you have the email set to an email address that you can access. That will make everything so much easier and will not require the long recovery process.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Vulnerability in Miniupnpc library used by bitcoin core

on: October 12, 2015, 03:52:05 PM

Apparently the miniupnpc library that bitcoin core uses has a buffer overflow library which makes it possible for someone in the local network to crash bitcoin nodes on that network. It may also be possible to carry out other attacks, but that has not yet been confirmed. More info here: https://bitcoin.org/en/alert/2015-10-12-upnp-vulnerability

I'm creating this scam accusation for coldblooded: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=547199 because he seems to be quite pissed off about diggit. The admin of diggit, cryptofuture: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=165520 and an investor, oldmate, who looks like is on the inside (not quite sure) or is at least an accomplice https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=401759 appear to have abandoned the gambling site diggit.io From the posts on their official thread (towards the end around page 50): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=879161.0, it looks like they have stopped withdrawals and stopped crediting deposits. Although the site has not seemed to actually scammed yet, it looks like it is about to.

Bitcoin / BitcoinJ / getting private keys of addresses from bitcoinj wallet words

on: October 09, 2015, 03:40:54 AM

I extracted the wallet words from my android bitcoin wallet which uses the bitcoinj protobuf file format. Using those words, I can get multibit HD to generate the same addresses. However, when I use a BIP39 to BIP32 tool like https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/ I can't get it to generate the correct addresses. Is there anyway for me to get that to generate the addresses? More importantly, how do I get the private keys of those addresses?
