why is my post getting deleted ?

A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator. Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted.

As for me it`s not possible to get all the addresses given that many addresses rn`t known on the network (think paper wallets). Until an address has done a transaction on the network or a key is published online it`s not possible to know the balance of that address.

that is so wrong.

all transactions till date are on blockchain.

blockchain is open to public.

there are no such things as hidden address having balance.

if it has balance , its on blockchain.

so if you parse blockchain for address having balance, you get all 100% of addresses having balance. none are left.

is this not adding value to the site ?

what needs to improve ?

i was the one who quoted and replied to the post. tell me what i did wrong ? this is 2nd post of mine getting deleted in 2 days . i am not sure what else should i have posted .

ref: https://btc.com/

i am watching how often new blocks gets generated.,

imho i read somewhere , it stated new block gets generated every 8-10 minutes.

but sometimes it takes 30 minutes for new block to appear and sometimes more than 1 block gets generated in 5 minutes.,

why is that ?

who is controlling it ?

isnt there enough hash power already to generate blocks. ?

what am i missing here ?

hi all., i am trying to use brainflayer., but its single threaded app and runs on single core., while other cpu cores are at idle.,

the author says

Unfortunately, brainflayer is not currently multithreaded. If you want to have it keep multiple cores busy, you'll have to come up with a way to distribute the work yourself (brainflayer's -n and -k options may help)

help says

Code:

anyone have experiecne in this ?

Thanks

p.s. i am trying to break the wallet's which are open for challenges and bitcoin eater address , if you are so concerned about .


if i use it like this

Code:

/root/brainflayer/./brainflayer -v -I 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 -b example.blf -f example.bin  -k 1 -n 4

i get this

Code:

Invalid '-n' argument, remainder '4' must be <= modulus '0'

so what am i missing here ?

i tried asking him i guess, but he is super busy., .

hi, am wondering if Itbit exchange is any good ? or genuine.


its ranked around 50th on coinmarketcap.

there are 2 threads of about how they delay bitcoin withdrawal but they are pretty old.

so i would like to make sure before i jump in and send them funds.,


i wont be doing bigger transaction at first, but still.


anyone here does trading at Itbit ?


Thanks

i am trying to find out which cpp file in bitcoin-core src, is handling stuff related to chainstate db.

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/


Thanks for your time.

[Block #503198]

i am parsing blockchain and came to this strange block.

Block #503198


ref: https://blockchain.info/block/00000000000000000011b4db68e2f052572fdfd93c8293257b7727429f5418b9

and lots of questions came to mind.

why this block has only 1 tx ?
its not like beginning days of bitcoin when only 1 tx used to be there in a block, there are backlog of 100k+ tx and why this block only has 1 tx ?

all previous and later blocks has 1k+ tx in them, then why is this block empty ?

what am i missing here ?

thanks for your time.

hi,

i am trying to load bitcoin blockchain in mysql.,
and going through the simple json/rpc way.

at current speed , it will take about 1 year+ to process all blocks till today and all transactions.

i am using php to query data.

is there way to speed up the process ?
by using multiple threads ? i can do that.

how many parallel/multiple threads the bitcoin-core json/rpc can handle ?

anyone tried this approach before ?


Thanks for your time.

[JSON value is not an integer as expected]

i am trying to connect to my local bitcoind using php json library https://github.com/aceat64/EasyBitcoin-PHP specified in https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/API_reference_(JSON-RPC)#PHP


i am trying to get block data. e.g.

Code:

$bitcoin = new Bitcoin('user','password');
$blockhash = $bitcoin->getblockhash('502284') ;

i am getting

JSON value is not an integer as expected


on further debuggng


$curl_error = curl_error($curl);

Code:

(
    [result] =>
    [error] => Array
        (
            [code] => -1
            [message] => JSON value is not an integer as expected
        )

    [id] => 1
)

this happens only with blockheight 502284 and not with other blocks.,

if i do this in command line using bitcoin-cli , then i can get proper output.,

but calling from php json/rpc i am getting warning and no result.

how can i fix this ? thanks for your time.[/code]

EDIT 1 :

on further inspection it seems this is only affected to

getblockhash

as it returns output in int instead of string., and while json doesnt works properly if int starts with 0 ., so it gives warning .,

thats what i think.

EDIT 2 :

if i do this

Code:

[root@localhost ]# curl --user user:password --data-binary '{"id":"curltest", "method": "getblockhash", "params": [502284] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/
{"result":"0000000000000000001345b1216c6dfa6e3bdd2774d67c7a85ea6552e2245c08","error":null,"id":"curltest"}

i am getting proper output, so its not issue with bitcoind., but looks like php library.

i mean ,current unconfirmed count is 150k and its stable at that point , means new high fees tx are only getting mined.

amd network is very slow and congested., it take around 30-40 minutes to get 4-6 confirmations for single tx having 420 sats / byte fees. and its very high fee.

why not increase blocksize , and allow more tx to fit in a single block, and make it quicker to send btc like it was before.


its really pain in the ass, sending btc from one place to another and this another place requires 6 confirmations to verify the payment.,
and it takes around 40- 45 minutes sometimes 60 minutes for tx to show on .

bitcoin is already popular and new people are jumping in to it..,

so tx count / second is gonna increase, eventually, why not get ready for it ?

who decides what will be block size ?

code developers ?
consensus ?

will all miner's code needed to be modified ? even ASIC ?

i am looking for best available way to get all blockchain data in mysql.

best as in, a single program should parse blk files and insert data in mysql , insteading of creating dump file and then me, importing that dump file in DB

so i can further process data.,

i will be running full bitcoin node ,

i can see there are multiple options/projects on github but idk which works best and isnt abandoned project.

what you guys are using ?

Thanks for your time.,

Hi, all

I found WIF key of Bitcoin eater address i.e. 1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE

on http://allbitcoinprivatekeys.com/

and It start with 5

[lightweight small, fast, cpp code]

Is there minimal cpp code which can generate bitcoin WIF and address from sha256 private key?

I am trying to generate Bitcoin WIF key Bitcoin Addresses from sha256 HEX private key.

but all i see there are bulky libraries and software packages.

I am looking for lightweight small, fast, cpp code which can generate

I need this

Code:

WIF KEY : 5HpHagT65TZzG1PH3CSu63k8DbpvD8s5ip4nEB3kEsreAnchuDf
Bitcoin Address : 1EHNa6Q4Jz2uvNExL497mE43ikXhwF6kZm
Bitcoin Address Compressed : 1BgGZ9tcN4rm9KBzDn7KprQz87SZ26SAMH

i have this

Code:

sha256 HEX key : 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001

Thanks for your time.

from what i understand , in trading btc.

buy low and sell high.

but i have a question, i have account at poloniex.,

and when i want to sell,

sell against what ?

i mean what should i get/buy when selling btc.
as polo doesnt deal with fiat currency.

so what is out there which is not as jumpy bitcoin, i.e. stable.

imho, usually people sell bitcoin and get USD.

or should i open account at some other exchange which offers exchange with fiat currency., i.e. real life money

what am i missing here ?

what i dont want is, lets say, i sold btc and got ripple or any other crypto then if its value goes down, my investement goes down too., i hope you are getting what iam trying to say.,

sorry for my bad english.,

thanks for your time.

did people started with only cpu ? and not with gpu ?

when did gpu mining started ? i mean how many months/years after initial cpu mining started

what i am trying to understand is,

when majority of people were mining with cpu., did some people started mining with gpu and didnt tell anybody just to mine as much as possible in short time., so that only they will benefit from it ?

did something like that happen ?

because gpu mining is just a piece of software and whoever made it public,only after that people came to know about gpu mining,
there is chance that people were already mining with gpu but secretly.

if thats the case.,

what is stopping from people to mine even faster than ASIC, and not tell anybody ? i mean keep it secret.,
or have we reached at the point, that its not easier for averrage joe to get more speed than ASIC ?


sorry for so many questions and bad english., this struck me while i was trying to find the fastest way to create bitcoin address from sha 256 private key .

i have had discussion here , https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2294855

ill resume it here in this thread.

i was under impression that address starting with 3 needs more than 1 private keys to send funds. but looks like that is not the case

how would i get p2sh address for something like that ?

or am i missing again something .,

does the p2sh address's private key also falls in

5HpHagT65TZzG1PH3CSu63k8DbpvD8s5ip4nEB3kEsreAnchuDf  1EHNa6Q4Jz2uvNExL497mE43ikXhwF6kZm

That is NOT a public key.

That is a bitcoin address.  Specifically, that is an uncompressed key P2PKH bitcoin address.

From that SAME WIF private key, you could also generate a compressed key P2PKH bitcoin address:
1BgGZ9tcN4rm9KBzDn7KprQz87SZ26SAMH

Furthermore, you could create 2¹⁶⁰ different P2SH bitcoin addresses.  Here are a few of them:

3Q2iKGxFppUJEZUTUMmahjwUoLNRqDY9o3
3CZj1DTSHD4vhr3zALL3pgs6acyw1deYDt

how would i get p2sh address for something like that ?

Build a bitcoin output script.  Hash it.  Concatenate a byte value of 0x05 in front of the hash value. Encode the result with base64check encoding.

or am i missing again something .

Probably.

does the p2sh address's private key also falls in

int range
1 - 115792089237316195423570985008687907852837564279074904382605163141518161494336

if so then how can i generate a pair ?

P2SH means "pay to script hash".  It doesn't necessarily need a key, but is it is safer to build a script that requires a signature (in which case a signature would be required).

so how can i spend this output https://blockchain.info/unspent?active=3LmzcN7f4M8dnvTnoHV3BF8n8i1mLE1udr&format=html

what next ?
is this correct so far ?

Thanks for your time.

i tried looking for ways to convert btc address to hash160 hex and other way around,
i have found few tools iwritten n c++, which works on command line., but i am trying to implement it in my own php code.

but i couldn't find any php code to convert btc address to hash160 address or the other way around.

this guys has the code

http://bitcoinvalued.com/tools.php

i tried contacting him, but he is no mood to share the code.,

even blockchain does it on the fly , https://blockchain.info/address/14CFVhgRnd94q9Bq6uMigptDfwtKnMPVZs

Address   14CFVhgRnd94q9Bq6uMigptDfwtKnMPVZs
Hash 160   23090d78bc991026455285f511c5563e6765f03d



any other guys have php code ?


Thanks for your time.

is bitcoin network under attack ?

or its getting really popular ?

idk when was the last time i saw 74k unconfiremed transactions.

ref: https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

i have linux dedicated server., its working as full node.,
no pruning, all the blk files are downloaded and up to date.

now i have windows machine at my home.

what is the best way to move all required files for working bitcoin-core on my windows machine.,

so after installing bitcoin-core on windows , it wont download all the blk files again.

i have these directories and files on my linux machine.,

Code:

[root@.bitcoin]# ls -lah
total 30M

what is bare minimum requirement for running bitcoin-core ?

so that i can create a zip of those files and directories and download on my windows machine., and act like full node within few minites.,

i am doing this, because i am on slow connection/8 mbps at home and on top of that it has usage limit per month 100 gigs.,

thanks for your time.,

have any of you tried something like this ?

i see, miners are going after high fees transaction and everyone is competing with each other. so there are tx with low fees are left.

there are many unconfirmed transactions 22311 a of now

ref https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

so is it possible for someone with modified code to get only tx having low fees and create a block of those tx ?

or this does not works like that ?

is nt the miner decides which tx to include in block ?


thanks.


i am thinking about getting only block reward and not the tx fees.

okie, i tried double spending transaction.

here is the 1st tx. https://blockchain.info/tx/eb1e180825ad7ea0efadd8ab3227242759425331188316ac5f822fca12b2627a

there is not much time delay while broadcasting the tx. its 1 second late, than the first one.
but still the first oine got confirmed ,
why is that ?

even my double spend tx's fees were higher that the 1st one.
