1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / "How to" send/receive MSC on: November 27, 2013, 12:39:21 PM
Receive :

-A simple brand new BTC address is enought !
-You need to control the private key (no sharing wallet like Mtgox&Co)






Send :

I have code ready which can send MasterCoins. Here is what it looks like in action (ignore the first line which is from a previous run):


Source code is here: https://github.com/dacoinminster/MasterCoin-Adviser/blob/master/MasterCoinAdvisor.py
And here: https://github.com/dacoinminster/MasterCoin-Adviser/blob/master/base58_found.py

In order to use this source code, you will need to install python 2.7 and also pycrypto for python 2.7, which I got here: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#pycrypto

On one PC I had to mess with my PATH environment variable to find python and the pycrypto libraries, but when I tried it again on a different PC, I didn't have to mess with the PATH variable at all. Your mileage may vary.

If you wish to avoid compiling, and you are a trusting sort of person, you can use the executable I made using py2exe: https://github.com/dacoinminster/MasterCoin-Adviser/raw/master/MasterCoinAdvisorExecutable.zip -
I think the executable will only work if you have the right version of Microsoft's C Runtime DLL: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en

Those of you who are affected by the Android wallet security problem should try this out right away. Let me know if you see anything weird.

Please note that I still have some testing to do of this code - I just wanted to make sure you guys got hold of this functionality as soon as possible! If something isn't right in this code, I'll try to make sure that nothing you do gets lost. Still, sending MasterCoins from one address to another to another to another might not be a good idea yet!

There are some debug outputs commented out in the code right now, but you might want to turn them back on if you are playing with this code.

This code does NOT parse the block chain to see if you actually have MasterCoins to send, or track MasterCoins which have been sent. That is the next milestone after the giveaway thread.


Open a console





Click&drag MastercoinAdvisor.exe  + Enter





Follow instruction + Enter to confirm :
- 1 for MSC / 2 for TestMSC
- Quantity
-Address provided by other party

If all step above are correct, you will see this, with your personnal information.




Open your wallet :





After few confirmations, check with https://masterchest.info






It's a WIN, master3d  successfully sent 20 MSC to Gay4N (transaction ID)




Security check :
-Always take links in the original topic (mastercoinadvisor.exe)
-No copy/paste available in and out the console, manually typing is risky so please check all data twice
(free advice from cpt obvious)
-...add yours


If you want to try because it's always good to practice  Grin : 1D3ohSTjCPUdB7iH18FdVWy9YdnVCtS2fs

I wait to edit with all tips, easier way to do or missing information !

2  Other / Beginners & Help / My major concern about Bitcoin on: December 30, 2012, 08:56:14 AM
First of all, hello folks

I thinks i got it, finally after a little week reading, digging, i GOT IT.
The  basic pattern is almost clear in my head.
Need more knowledge about pgp, security and P2P basic rules, it's ok i'll continue my homeworks.

BUT my major concern about Bitcoin is the other factor, the one  outside my hands.


I think the growth of bitcoin will worry more and more people. Those who decide and who have powers
So I think it's just a matter of time before they set to work and decide to falling bitcoin

I understand that the system itself is "secure", but the intermediaries may still be under pressure.

I think this is the weakest point and an offensive against those who direct the media and the banks it will be hard to resist.

I keep in mind the campaign against wikileaks and i thinks something similar can be set up against Bitcoin.

This is the only thing that stopping me from changing all my savings into Bitcoin


Someone for help me with this concern ?

Thanks and long life to bitcoin
