Got an exception using the historical data provided for MTGox, was working fine yesterday: syncing C:/SierraChart/Data/mtgoxUSD.csv
Updating CSV: bytes 312690830 to 313739405 of 316504899
312690798: ,670.000000000000,3.727747830000 ::: 00
1387445072,640.549000000000,0
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "scfeed.py", line 739, in <module>
csvupdater(csv_filename, s)
File "scfeed.py", line 406, in csvupdater
raise Exception('Local and remote CSVs do not match')
Exception: Local and remote CSVs do not match Yep, I got it also. The updating method is based on the assumption that in the complete nightly CSV files, older trade data wouldn't be changing, there would just be new trades added to them. I, of course, don't just blindly add new data to your local CSV file, I get an overlapping range and make sure that we are appending to identical data. My checks caught the alteration. the last 32 bytes of your local file ::: the bytes that are now being returned when re-checking that range312690798: ,670.000000000000,3.727747830000 ::: 001387445072,640.549000000000,0
The problem here seems to be that bitcoincharts made CSVs with different old history than was previously downloaded (after several days of the nightly updates being the same and working correctly.) The files appear to have changed for other tickers too. Sierrachartfeed will work again by deleting and letting it re-download the C:/SierraChart/Data/mtgoxUSD.csv file. On bitcoincharts, this is the only file and method to get trades that are older than five days, so if the CSV data continues to change in this way that the file download can't be "resumed", I'll need to think of different ways to synchronize this data and resume from the last time scfeed was run. |

I discovered my problem and recovered my bitcoins! I initially installed Bitcoin-Qt under my user (no admin privilege) login. The installation had an error that lead me to believe that I needed admin privilege. I logged in as administrator and installed without problems and then transferred my bitcoins and logged out.
I later logged back in as user, and this user account had a short cut to Bitcoin-Qt from the bad installation. Forgetting that I had installed under a different administrator account, I clicked the Bitcoin-Qt, it started and when it finally synchronized it had also created a new wallet address. My original wallet address was still under my administrator login.
I didn't realize my problem because I rarely login as administrator and when I investigated the block chain it looked suspicious to me. When I did finally login as administrator, I realized my problem.
Thanks for all the good responses and information. No files had been deleted and my wallet was not compromised and nothing lost.
I do believe there are installation issues however. If the user needs admin priv, it should pop up and ask the user to login as administrator.
Also, as a test, I tried installing under a third non-admin account that also failed. And with this failure, somehow I now have error messages with the Bitcoin-Qt under my administrator account. I don't believe files are properly separated between users.
I believe I am going to uninstall completely and only install one version again under administrator.
Each user that runs Bitcoin will have their own wallet.dat and copy of the blockchain. This is separate from the program installation. An administrator can install Bitcoin on a computer where users are not allowed to install software. Then any user can run Bitcoin. The Bitcoin data directory has a shortcut on Windows, %APPDATA%\Bitcoin, that is user-specific. |

Yes but how do you know that bitaddress.org wont transfer the money before you, they know the secret pass key as well
Because it is not a web service, it is open-source HTML and javascript that can be downloaded from the repository and run offline. |

Also a good way to send more coins to the "lost" pile.
People won't value BTC gifts. They got it for free; they will think it was nothing for you to give it to them either (although you could have bought them a 55" TV with the Bitcoins). A "donation was made in their name" card will probably be as appreciated.
There is a recent threads about tracking down the previous Christmas recipients of 1 BTC Casascius coins - now worth over $1000. Usually lost. I gave a friend of mine a paper wallet, and told him if he didn't lose it, I would send $50 worth of BTC to it in a month. Lost.

Ok, this is interesting.
So can we get the actual files posted somewhere?
Three posts back? |

Fail by sam.ro: As long as there are no laws in place for such thefts, one could probably argue that the money was indeed "earned."There is a law against theft in every jurisdiction in the world, you can usually find it by searching your law books for the word "theft". This is California:
484. (a) Every person who shall feloniously steal, take, carry, lead, or drive away the personal property of another, or who shall fraudulently appropriate property which has been entrusted to him or her, or who shall knowingly and designedly, by any false or fraudulent representation or pretense, defraud any other person of money, labor or real or personal property, or who causes or procures others to report falsely of his or her wealth or mercantile character and by thus imposing upon any person, obtains credit and thereby fraudulently gets or obtains possession of money, or property or obtains the labor or service of another, is guilty of theft. |

I believe I've worked through all those little details over the
last year and a half while coding it, and there were a lot of them.
The functional details are not covered in the paper, but the
sourcecode is coming soon. I sent you the main files.
(available by request at the moment, full release soon)

0.8.6?
mine says it is 4.8.3
apparently I am from the future
▼If you pick "about Qt", 4.8.3 is the version of Qt you will be shown.

Electrum allows you to create any number of deterministic addresses that are based on the initial seed. You could have done something that asked for another deterministic address; press "new address" on your offline PC and it will likely be the same extra address. |

I bet someone (or more likely several parties) have copies .......
How much BTC do you want to put on the table? The posts on the SourceForge forum were lost.
Well you could never prove nobody has a copy so its kind of a pointless debate. Unless somebody offers to bet on it, like you. "Deepceleron counteroffers a 0.05 BTC (bounty?) at 1:1 odds that there will be no archive revealed of the Sourceforge Bitcoin forum, which restores in majority or whole the former content and posts back to public knowledge and perusal on the Internet by Feb 1 2014." History of that forum, documented by me: |

Bitcoin is not an investment. You could obtain 0.02 bitcoin, but nobody honest is going to promise you anything in return, except that you now have internet money you can spend on things. Most believe that in the long term though, Bitcoin has only two options, to zero or to the moon.

Can you work out a similar list for members with the highest post to activity ratio, i.e. Newbie Hall of Shame
I'm still scraping the site thru wap2 at about one page a second, up to 65k members and Aug 2012 now. I expect member number 200,000 will join today ... and done (yep, it's me). The remarkable thing is the majority of old accounts have 0 posts and have never been logged into since they were created; these should probably be removed by admin to lower attack vectors and cut some of the account resale possibilities. |

No.
Generated coins do not mature and are not spendable for a certain number of blocks, such as 100(120) for Bitcoin. If a pool pays you before the mined coins are even spendable, that means they are paying out of their own pocket.
You are posting about "dogecoin" and "fedoracoin", and worrying about a scam??
