Sure, if A connects to B, then both can exchange data. But B would never have allowed the incoming connection unless the port was open in its firewall.

If you have the wallet backup all you need to do is decrypt it. That means guessing the password. The 2FA does not matter anymore. There is nothing to slow you down, you can make as many attempts per second as your hardware allows. Also the password guessing can be done in parallel on multiple machines.
Given a weak password it will crack.
Especially if you used the same password as you used on your email account that they already have. |

You're only supporting if you have port 8333 open so others can contact you. Otherwise you're just leaching.

I think the problem usually turns out to be wallet backups sent to your compromised email account.

He'll see the payment, but without signing a message you can't prove that it was you who sent the payment.

Stop using testnet.
You should see your payment to canary under transactions.

What address did you send the coins from? Sign a message with that and post it here.
|
|
|
|
|
You sign it with whatever address you want to prove that you own. And verify it with the same address.
|
|
|
|
|
You can use any address you own. So this one for example assuming you were the one sending the coins: 1C2PWB7JoEyT5Yygiq8eG3XC7WcuSdj6eA

Do it on mainnet and post the address/message/signature here.

File - sign message, select address
message: hello
signature: HyEGS89+1+1mm91Iexyy5dwuZjfDPBotiNbMkWR3r+tSUSm51LV8xX9RmGYeB6RmRuMqQKi7KSoxmCumbhQDKJs=
File - verify message, enter same address
message: hello
signature: HyEGS89+1+1mm91Iexyy5dwuZjfDPBotiNbMkWR3r+tSUSm51LV8xX9RmGYeB6RmRuMqQKi7KSoxmCumbhQDKJs=
Message verified

No, you don't have to have any coins in the address to sign a message. You just need the private key. If you couldn't verify it there was probably a problem with spaces or returns. The message "hi<return>" is different from "hi" and "hi<space".

I would like to create a new public address and send some coins to someone and have them appear to come from this newly created address. When I go to coin control this new address of course doesn't show up as the coins are in a different address in my wallet. Is there anyway to do this?
You have to send the coins to that address first, you can't spend coins that aren't there. A wallet is just a collection of addresses that each have their own balances, and the wallet's balance is just the sum of those individual balances. It's not like your wallet balance is somehow shared amongst all the addresses in your wallet. |

Is there an advantage to being an accredited investor besides being able to invest in a hedge fund? It's not like you'd want to buy direct shares of a company if you didn't have a lot of money to be able to diversify that way.

I recently moved the Bitcoin blockchain off my little boot SSD because it was taking too much space. After, I finally upgraded to .9. I told it to use the Bitcoin data folder on the non-boot drive, and it seems okay with this, except Armory's "databases" folder is >16GB large. Is there a way to move this to the non-SSD? (preferably with Armory recognizing it instead of rebuilding that folder...  ) Use the datadir switch: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory-testing\ArmoryQt.exe" --satoshi-datadir=I:\bitcoin --datadir=I:\armory |
