581  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Alternative way of claiming a fork? E.g. with private keys? on: December 13, 2017, 11:14:23 AM
could I use the online wallet to apply all those hard fork in December and January? I have been known that for example the Coinomi bitcoin.com could help to claim for the hard fork, and seems easy to do, is that ok to perform the claim in a online fork? Is there anyone has a user experience to do this way? which one is the best? many thanks!
Do not use online wallets.
A lot of hacks have occurred this way.

You can import your private keys to Coinomi wallet and use that instead.
Coinomi runs on your phone so it's safer than using online wallets.

This will not end well.
Many people are seeing bitcoin as a get-rich-quick scheme.

Honestly I hope bitcoin crashes so they lose their money.

So if I understand correctly, the transactions that the page display it means that it's on the BitCoin mempool ready for being mined?
Yes
But they might not be mined if they have very low transaction fee.

You can use a pubkey-to-address converter like : https://altcoin-price.com/tool/pubkey-to-address to get the "legacy" address.

If you paste a segwit address in BTC.com it will usually translate it to a "legacy" address.


You can't get a private key from a bitcoin address -- legacy or segwit.
585  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Does wallet.dat ever expose private keys? on: December 11, 2017, 04:20:38 PM

If you are using an HD wallet, anytime you sign a transaction, the private key(s) used to sign the transaction will be stored in RAM. An attacker could use the private key along with the xpubkey (which will always be in an unencrypted state), to be able to calculate the rest of your private keys in your wallet.



So if you are using a HD wallet and the hacker has your xpubkey and just one of your private keys then he will be able to hack all your bitcoin addresses from the seed?

I think mining has a chance to be big in Russia because there's no heat, everywhere is cold.

Russia very big country. There are many different climate zones. But that's no reason to open the business of mining in Russia. A country in which there are no rules. There the situation can change every day. I do not recommend at all to this country to invest until there is not change the power.

Well I know that Siberia in Russia is very cold and full of snow and Russia has nuclear plants so maybe they can use that for electricity if it's the government that's sponsoring it.

You can import it into Mycelium wallet and sign from there, but whenever you import your private key from a paper wallet into any wallet, consider it compromised and move everything to another paper wallet.

This may seem a bit paranoid but it's better safe than sorry, since bitcoin transactions are immutable.
588  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Block explorers that show details of unconfirmed transactions - how? on: December 09, 2017, 11:49:01 AM
So if you submit a transaction and it hasn't been confirmed yet, that means it's not on the blockchain right?
Does this mean that when you visit those block explorers (like blockchain.info etc) and you view the unconfirmed transaction, they are pulling the info from their node's mempool?


Yes, they are pulling the info from their mempool, which is why it may be available on one site but not another.
When a bitcoin transaction is made, the transaction is broadcast to other nodes peered to it, then these nodes relay the transaction to other nodes etc until all nodes have it in their mempool.

OP, how do you know that the coins you own are "clean" and have not been used for any illegal activity?

It is most likely an inside job.
Nice hash has been operating long enough that they should know basic opsec on how to store bitcoin from hacks

Andreas is the real bitcoin Jesus.
Because of him I got into and understand how bitcoin works.

Roger is a psychopath.
I hope he sells all his bitcoin for bitcoin cash and gets broke

Why are you blaming freewallet for your mistake and calling it a scam?
If you send BTC to a bch wallet with bitcoin core dies that make bitcoin core a scam?

Cointelegraph will become notorious for biased articles trying to feign neutrality if they keep this up.
Cointelegraph once put up an article shilling BitConnect.
For shame!

Nothing good can come of them.

He admitted that he doesn't understand it.
Why did he now call it a bubble?
Maybe he thinks his words have weight like Dimon's and he will cause a crash.
Fat chance!
