There's also docs.electrum.org. If you still need electrum.orain.org, I guess you'll just have to wait, as there doesn't seem to be any caches with that page.

breadwallet for iOS, Mycelium for Android, and you're pretty much good to go!

Nobody is 100% sure if Bitcoin will be a success. As a dev said, Bitcoin is an experiment, in many levels. But one thing is for sure: the idea that is the basis of Bitcoin will never die. It will be kept forever and further developed. The blockchain is here to stay.

Wrong place to talk about this. This is not a drug forum or a dark web website. Besides, if you cared to read a bit about this forum, you'd be smart enough to stop doing drugs and talking about it

Yes, Bitcoin keeps track of every transaction in something called blockchain. It is publicly viewable in of the many blockchain explorers around.

There are ways to reduce the burden of the blockchain, such as purging, but they're not very beneficial in their current implementations.

I'm very curious about where these coins are going... Is it possible for them to be auctioned like the ones from the Silk Road case? Do the same principals apply? (both cases are very different).

Correct. That's something inherent of an advanced client. Although it's definitely not impossible for a novice user to learn how to use it (I am an example of that)

Back when Chinese exchanges started having issues operating with fiat in chinese lands, I read that most of them were attempting to operate fiat accounts from abroad. Maybe that's an option for you.

I managed to get the software installed but after that I simply could not execute it. I was using amodem with its Electrum plugin. Couldn't get Electrum to detect it either. Tried it in Ubuntu and Raspbian...

Never saw your tutorial around here, thanks for linking it! I'll see if someday I give it a try... Do you think it would work on Raspbian + Raspberry Pi B?

Ah, here it is! Simply couldn't find it after searching... Thanks for posting

XT has died/has low number of blocks/low number of nodes probably because it isn't called Core and because it represents change, a new idea.


Yes, either that or when/if a better idea than XT comes, or there's a compromise between ideas and BIP's.

Wouldn't give up any of those listed, but I think the most important ones are the 21 million coin limit, Decentralisation, Pseudonymous, Mining (PoW) and Irreversible. i think these are the 5 pillars I can stand out between the list.

Makes it look like it's frequent to move all these funds just like someone changes shirt without requiring any of the security measures you mentioned... I guess we all expected more from BitPay

Exactly. And a hacked DT account could make quite a bit of damage...

If you have issues with the password have it reset. And stake an address to your account in case something happens.

This should be in Meta

The wait time is for bruteforcing protection, I think. If it lets you input a password 3 times in a row before waiting, it makes the hacker discover the password faster. It's also a better DoS protection.

According to this, yes, they should... K or L seem to be the main network compressed private keys. Maybe an issue in their system?

Such is Armory and Bitcoin Core's nature: you have to download the blockchain and reindex everything. Having good internet, lots of ram and a fast cpu isn't what matters the most (it helps but it's not everything). An SSD speeds up everything.

Armory is not buggy. Armory is very secure. If you think the compromise in usability doesn't exceed the security it gives you, then you are free to switch clients. There are pretty good ones on sub-forums right be the side of this one.

The offline file is not compatible, so you'll have to update all your clients. You can then move your coins if you have to put your cold storage online.

There is nothing to fix in syncing, because there is no syncing issue... Sync might be faster one day, but it will be mainly to hardware developments, I think.


Exactly, I've been saying this many times. We all suffer from this sometimes, me included

There's something really fishy about this story, or they're not telling everything. First thing: why did Krohn provided his corporate email password (or any other password for the record) in an unknown random website that was just supposed to ask for an opinion about a bitcoin industry document?

And who the hell sends that many funds without questioning? This story really doesn't seem to connect and makes everyone at BitPay look stupid. Not really falling for this...

I was about to say that there are enough ads on the movies already But this is actually quite a nice idea... if the stores do keep their promise to accept Bitcoin, and it would be an amazing bonus if they held on to some of those Bitcoins (not just convert them into fiat straight away)

It would be, for sure, an interesting ad

Trying to find it... Saw it on a user's sig around here actually. I'll post if I end up finding it.
