Bitcoin was a major source of contention between myself and my late wife. I bought in July, 2011 at around $14/BTC. I cashed out $10k from one of my IRAs, I saw the potential in Bitcoin and knew it would be big. I traded a bit at MtGox as it went down and got up to 800BTC. Then I got on Bitcoinica as the price dropped a lot and desperate to get my money back I did a lot of shorting and a lot of losing bitcoins. I pulled everything out of there as it appeared that manipulation was a bit too precise in taking my BTC away. I had about 250 BTC left. I pretty much had to tell my wife that the whole Bitcoin thing was a wash and that there was no money there. I was constantly reminded that I "threw away 10 thousand dollars on your stupid Bitcoins".
Finally last October we were buying a house and needed $5,000 toward the down payment. Bitcoin was at about $11/BTC around then. We were scraping what we could get for the $5,000. I borrowed $2,500 from my brother and finally broke down and cashed out the rest of my bitcoins for the rest.
Losing a loved one you play a lot of "what if"s. Had Bitcoin jumped like this last year instead of this year I likely would not have had to go to Afghanistan to get out of our financial problems and I could have been home with my wife...
But anything can happen in life.
She used to also complain about my time wasted supporting Ron Paul. Even though she supported him too, she knew that any action supporting him was a waste of time because they would never let him win.
Funny, this chick also ragged on me for spending time supporting Ron Paul as well. Speaking of Ron Paul, anyone know if he has publicly supported Bitcoin or if he even knows about it? So... Is it done? |

OK, I am new to bitcoin so please bear with me. Earlier today I tried to do a BitInstant payment of $500 to my deposit address on btc-e.com. I filled out the form, printed the sheet, got the money, went to CVS and went through the process. Shortly after, I can see the BTC that I am supposed to receive per the image below.  It's been stuck at this status almost 3 hours. What is the deal with these confirmations? Are they supposed to happen instantly? When will I have access to my BTC? Thanks in advance. I read somewhere that there are a lot of transactions in the queue currently... |

Judging by the responses, I'd be surprised if anyone responding wasn't single.

Keep thinking that, that's your problem if you can live with people that don't value what you like I personally need someone that at least try to understand why I like the things I like, which clearly isn't the case here And "Judging by the responses, I'd be surprised if" I was the only one |

Anyone who would break up with their girlfriend over their opinion of bitcoin is a sad SOB imo. That's like breaking up with her because of her religion, or simply for her political views.
Politics and religion are excellent reasons to break up with a girlfriend. Better a breakup now than a divorce later. 1 internet for you sir Haters: note that he said that they're excellent reasons to break up, he didn't say that different points of view about religion/politics WILL make a couple end in a divorce |

I told her I won't be spending my coins anytime soon!!!  If you're married they're not deathcode's coins, but deathcode couple's ones (fucking english yours/yours) |

Finally I had some time and I tried, but like I thought the bitcoin client tells me the wallet is corrupted

I can't agree more If you want to use pywallet with encrypted wallets, use the beta (yet stable) version, which is in the last page of the thread Ciyam gave you Be sure to backup your wallet though, we never know |

Using pywallet, dump your wallet
You will see lots of things including your keys, and transactions (At the bottom, that contains tx something)
I think that if you search (Ctrl-F) '3ea177ce0db93b9bbbdc2286f5ca08e038a364db704205250d253d704a67d6a1' in the pywallet web page it will find it
Then you have the txid
BTW isn't 3ea177ce0db93b9bbbdc2286f5ca08e038a364db704205250d253d704a67d6a1 the txid?

You can't put only a public key, wallet.dat stores the keys with 2 values, public key and private key
So yeah, your second solution could work
My concern is that I'm rather sure bitcoin checks that the two are corresponding, but it's worth trying
If you're up to modify pywallet for that, look into the importprivkey function
I don't think I'll have access to a computer until tomorrow evening to do it for you
Did you try Armory? I still didn't try it yet but I think you can import a wallet read-only. You'll still have to possess the private key though

I don't know about multibit but if it supports importing private keys you'll be able to use your old ones after extracting them from the old wallet with pywallet
|
|
|
|
|
You can delete that transaction from your wallet with pywallet

Not another wallet
I did the procedure for myself a few days ago :
- download 0.8.1 and install it
- dont't run it and put a copy (I'd keep a backup) of your wallet in your bitcoin directory
- wait for the block chain to be downloaded (3-4days) or use the bootstrap method (search in forum)
- everything's working!

I don't really get what your concerns really are. Please give a precise example of what you fear will happen.

"Pope Benedict XVI will die by the end of September 2013" This can't be refused  We do not accept bets on the death of individuals. Fair enough, but you should state those rules somewhere... |
