I hope someone makes sure the whole event gets video taped. Montreal is way too far for me. However I would like to see as much as possible from that conference.
Furthermore I hope this will be a honest and really open minded debate. No shilly-shallying anymore.We need solutions!
It is being live streamed so someone will probably record it if they aren't already. Other people can still participate in online discussion they are hosting.

ISP: Consolidated Communications, Inc.
# of Connections: 1 (In: 1 / Out: 0)
No bars in the right corner of any color

I may need to break down and get my own internet service to get this download completed. I think the problem is with the apartment complex' modem and I can't reconfigure it. Any further ideas? You have been immensely helpful.

Is it possible to take my wallet.dat file and address to another wallet?
You have only 1 connection which is probably part of the problem. There us a list somewhere on this forum with a bunch of nodes you can connect to that are reliable and have good connections. I will update when I find it.

You can export the private keys of your addresses and import them into another wallet, but most wallets won't be able to use the wallet.dat file.

Please wait. You are number 16 in the queue.
get better server
It doesn't have to do with the server, but with Bitcointalk's ip bans. If Bitcointalk didn't ban ips for too many requests per second, this program could run almost instantaneously.

Please wait. You are number 16 in the queue.

Can we install this script on Free hosting website ? like activity calculator
You can install it yourself from the github repo but not easily since it is not written in php. You will need to know how to build and run GWT applications. I will at some point write installation instructions.

Ok. I checked out the Debug window. The number of connections shows 1 In - so I am good there. I changed the Port back to 8333 on Bitcoin and no adverse consequences. I have a Mac and no Firewall - so good there.

I am using a semi-public network connection through my apartment complex for my desktop which is a problem. I don't see my being able to change the Port for this modem and I expect this is the issue with my halted download.

I am stuck at 340401 blocks at Jan 2015. The torrent file is dated Jul 2015 wouldn't that help? Still don't know how to get QT to load the torrent file. Finally, if I am unable to change the Port on the modem would it be possible to transfer my wallet.dat and key to another wallet. I am still waiting to complete this payment.
For the torrent file, you need to have a torrent client and place the downloaded file (should be bootstrap.dat) in the data directory and Bitcoin Core will do its thing. I don't recommend this since it can take a very long time to download and you are almost up to date anyways.

It is possible that your modem is the problem. It may also be your ISP. Apparently some ISPs have been blocking port 8333 and users can't change it. What ISP are you using?

How many connections out and total connections do you have (should say in the debug window)?

In the lower right hand corner of the Bitcoin Core, do you have any yellow or green bars lit up?
9266  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: AT&T has effectively banned Bitcoin nodes by closing port 8333 via a hidden fire on: September 02, 2015, 01:36:28 AM
It could be a simple case of something needing to be blocked specifically for the DVR and not a big conspiracy as it is being made out to be.

It would need to be a criminal act to be appropriately labelled as a conspiracy. A company like AT&T would be unlikely to put themselves in that position.

It doesn't always have to be criminal to be labeled a conspiracy:

Quote
   Conspiracy (civil), an agreement between persons to deceive, mislead, or defraud others of their legal rights or to gain an unfair advantage
    Conspiracy (criminal), an agreement between persons to break the law in the future, in some cases having committed an act to further that agreement
    Conspiracy (political), an agreement between persons with the goal of gaining political power or meeting a political objective
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy

In any event, the point still stands that it could be something unrelated to AT&T specifically trying to prevent users from running a Bitcoin node.
But then why would a DVR need port 8333 blocked if there is nothing using that port? Port 8333 was specifically chosen because it was high enough that almost no other software used it.

Also, link to the actual email and thread: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2015-September/010798.html
9267  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin .11 Initial Blockchain Download Problem on: September 02, 2015, 01:26:57 AM
The torrent file won't help since a) it needs to download the blockchain file and b) the file is so old that you are actually past the last sync date of the file. You should set the port to be 8333 and open that up both on the machine's local firewall and the router's firewall. Also check the number of connections. If you go to Help > Debug Window, there should be something that says how many connections you have. It should be more than 0. If it is 0, then you aren't going to be syncing anything.

I think the site offers a great deal of people who sell accounts, so its useful.

But I just used it right now and it states im 11th in que. So what if theres a overwhelming demand of using it and people dont want to wait however long.

What if I get like, 100th que next time.. etc.
That is a good question. I have asked Theymos to whitelist the ip but he never responded. If the ip was whitelisted, then all of the requests could run simultaneously and there wouldn't be a queue.
9269  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Send full amount as a fee to miners on: September 01, 2015, 01:22:07 PM
you can send one 0.000001 btc to any address and change the fees amount to the amount that you want to send to the miners
like send 0.0000001 btc to someone random btc address with 0.50btc as fees, and miner gets the fees

But this is problmatic because the 1 satoshi ends up in the UTXO set so instead of cleaning up the dust, you're making even smaller dust and sending it to someone else.

It may be better instead to make a transactions without any outputs (is this legal)?  If the point is to clean up dust, you definitely want to figure out how to create something which actually acheives this.

Couldnt you just hang onto the dust until you need to make a legit transaction, say to pay hosting or whatever for your service, and then just add the dust as the fee for that transaction? This will prevent the single satoshi to a random address issue and still send dust to the miners.
all of those dusty outputs would inflate the size of the transaction and require a large fee to send that the dusty may not be able to cover.

The best way would be to use OP_RETURN to not create any outputs.
9270  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: cpu miner on raspberry pi bugging out bitcoincz on: September 01, 2015, 11:29:14 AM
If your raspi had not found any shares yet (which is probably the case, cpuminer should let you know) then the pool will not know what your hashrate is. Since it probably isn't finding and submitting shares, you aren't getting paid because it has not submitted anything to the pool due to low hashrate.

I would suggest that you not cpu mine on a raspi as its hashrate will be so low as to be negligible.
9271  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: NLockTime with RawTx on: September 01, 2015, 11:25:01 AM
First of all, that only made you a multisig address, not a transaction. To create a transaction you need to use createrawtransaction and modify the hex to add the locktime. Then you need to sign it with signrawtransaction.

This seems interesting, although the comission part is a little confusing. My understanding is that the 20% commission is for the first transactions. So theoretically I could spend $0.01 and only pay $0.002 in commission. Is this correct?

The commission is when you buy the card! I even explained that myself. So for a $50 card you spend $60 and so on and so forth. Got it?
I think I got it. So it is just a fee that is 20% of the amount loaded into the card that is paid when the card is bought.

9275  Economy / Services / Re: Need help developing a PoS coin (paid) on: August 31, 2015, 02:15:30 PM
Wait, so that's like 5 days to code a from scratch PoS coin? Seems completely legit

That's why I put paid in the title. I know no weekend warrior would put themselves under such a time constraint. It's totally legit broseph. If you have questions just ask me.

It isn't possible though. Just the networking component alone would take multiple days to develop. The UI multiple weeks. The proof-of-state code. Countless weeks. Testing this all: getting the software stable - months.

Your expectations are completely unrealistic and can't be met by anyone. The best that anyone is going to be able to do with that time frame is copy and paste some open source crap coin and change a few variables to make it seem more unique. But you seem to want a coin developed from scratch ...

To put this into terms of numbers: the first release of Bitcoin was around 12,111 lines of code and its been said that the average developer can only code 10 lines of well tested / working code per day. While I can't say that my productivity is that bad: lines of code per day are definitely going to be no where near the required 12111 / 5 = 2422.2 which is a pace that could only be met if ALL you did was type code - but programming is a lot more than coding. It's the result of considering every single path of logic, making hundreds of small choices, choosing the right designs and architecture ... countless stuff.  (Yes, I'm aware LoC per day isn't a good productivity metric but it does help outline how ridiculous the OP is.)

Given these problems: the only way to meet your insane requirements is for someone to sell code they’ve already written or to take a crap coin approach and modify it ... and you don't need a developer for either of those things.


And that's why you clone and modify a coin that already exists. Grin

Error " you are in que. Plz wait " not showing now. Its showing up another issue of loading. Just now I have requested for checking my account and it is still loading .
That means it is working and could take a few minutes, especially with your account that had over 1000 posts.
9277  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can someone verify the validity of xtnodes.com data? on: August 31, 2015, 02:36:08 AM
How is it determining which nodes are XT and the total nodes?  Can we independently verify? 
It is determining through the version string which each node broadcasts. You can verify this by connecting to one of those nodes and checking the version string. However, those can be spoofed

What is the definition of a node in total nodes?  The number seems a bit low. 
A full node, which independently verifies each transactions and block before relaying them as well as storing the blockchain on the computer. There are only a few thousand nodes, and not more than 10000.

What would it take to launch 1,000 nodes if one wanted to skew the numbers? 
one server and a software called Pseudonode can easily spoof thousands of nodes. That giant spike in nodes is caused by someone running pseudonode on a few servers each with several thousand nodes. One server can be several thousand nodes because it can have nodes on different ports.

I might be able to do this, but I would like you to answer some questions first.

How much are you willing to pay for this? How exactly will this be linked to an International Free Trade Zone? And lastly is there any coin that you would particularly like to use as a base for this?
9280  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Help to understand part of algorithm in excel on: August 30, 2015, 10:46:01 PM
I'm keen on understanding how the algorithm works. I've understood bits and bobs via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZBZPOEVyJA and the excel file associated with it.

I am struggling to understand what these values mean in excel however:

MID(HEX2BIN(IF(ISERROR(MID(D13,LEN(D13),1)),0, MID(D13,LEN(D13),1)),4),4,1)

I get what hex2bin means (hex to binary) but what does the rest actually mean? Am I right in assuming "mid" would mean middle range or something similar.

Please help if you have a better understanding of the formula and bitcoin algo
MID is actually taking a substring with these parameters
Code:
MID( text, start_position, number_of_characters )


So lets start with
Code:
 IF(ISERROR(MID(D13,LEN(D13),1)),0, MID(D13,LEN(D13),1))
This chunk of code means
Code:
If the last character of D13(substring of 1 character starting at the character at the length of D13) is an error, then output is 0. Otherwise the output is the last character
The output of the if statement goes into HEX2BIN which takes paramters
Code:
HEX2BIN(number, [places])
where number is the number and places is the number of characters to use. In this case, 4.

The remaining code comes out to mean
Code:
The substring of the output of the 4 character hex to bin conversion of the last character of D13 or 0 starting at the 4th character with a size of 1 character.

Basically it is taking the last character of the binary output of either the last character of D13 or 0.
