Economy / Speculation / Re: WOT will happen after the halving ?

After the halving, well... Mining block reward will be cut in half. As for price, it can really go both ways, nobody can predict where it's headed. If it goes up just remember that buying gold was a call you made and something you wanted at some point in time, ir order not to regret it so much  |

Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Offline storage: Alternative to Armory

Armory. What did you switch to and why? (by your post I'm assuming you switched). BTW, his name is Alan Reiner (etotheipi), not Adam  No, i did not switch yet and in fact I'm inclined to stay - I think goatpig has done a pretty good job so far. You're right, I misstyped Alan's name - I edited the post and corrected it. Sorry, your post made it seem that changing from Armory was the obvious option I don't think most would switch even of development came to a halt, Armory would still be well equipped for quite some time. I'm wondering if anyone switched and why... |

i was only able to recover a fraction of my total btc i should have in my wallet.
I dumped all the private keys from all my received address' and sweeped them in Electrum
is it possible that more transactions will appear when the blockchain finishing syncing?
i have 3.3BTC in pending amount (correct perceived amount)
will I have to wait for the sync to be complete to know if my BTC is actually there?
You don't need to wait for any kind of sync in Electrum. And you probably forgot change addresses (shorena has that covered): Completely forgot about the dumpwallet command  |

7. Dump your keys. Do dumpprivkey <BitcoinAddress> for each Bitcoin address you want to dump your keys from (copy your addresses and place them after dumpprivkey, without the brackets too) Do i get these address' from EACH old transaction in my transaction section on the btc core? You get them from your receiving addresses tab |

Sorry as you can See I'm new to BTC.
Step by step:
What is the fastest way for me to take my wallet.dat file and access my btc?
1. Install Electrum2. Create a new wallet 3. Backup the seed of your new wallet to a safe place (ex: paper) 4. After creating a new wallet, go to Wallet - Private Keys - Sweep, leave this open 5. On Bitcoin Core, go to Help - Debug Window - Console 6. write walletpassphrase <YourPassphrase> 800 to unlock your wallet (in place of <YourPassphrase> write your wallet password, without the brackets) 7. Dump your keys. Do dumpprivkey <BitcoinAddress> for each Bitcoin address you want to dump your keys from (copy your addresses and place them after dumpprivkey, without the brackets too) 8. Insert these private keys on that Sweep menu in Electrum 9. Coins will be sent to an address on your Electrum wallet. You can now close Bitcoin Core and use your coins. Will this work for all other coins, which are inferior to Electrum? I referred Electrum just because it is a client I am familiar with... Not sure I understood your post, what do you mean by inferior? |

- snip -
You'll probably only need to backup your wallet.dat, delete the files and restart Bitcoin Core, no reinstall should be needed. It will then start resyncing. I guess he would only get the same problem of his disk filling up again? See OP: How do I re-install the core without losing my btc?
The user asked how to get Bitcoin Core running again (and says he is a noob), so one thing at a time. And yes, around 70GB are currently needed for Core, the user is probably already aware of that.
Do
so my process should be:
go to
~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/
back up wallet.dat on my desktop. delete the rest of the files, then download and reinstall core?
Replace new wallet.dat with old and reopen the core?
Do I need to backup any other files?
You'll probably only need to backup your wallet.dat, delete the files and restart Bitcoin Core, no reinstall should be needed. It will then start resyncing. it's now re-synicing with the network. Is there a faster way for me to access my btc using my wallet.dat? Will this give me the same problem if filling up my drive? Yes, there is. You can dump your private keys and use them in another client. Yes, the blockchain takes up around 70GB, so be sure to have enough space for it. |
