My payout from my mining pool never came through yesterday to my coinbase wallet, 0 confirmations, I sent .1 bitcoins to another address, and it's not sending either, I've lost the bitcoins but staying at 0 confirmations. Is coinbase broke or what?
How much fees have you paid. I suspect that you didn't pay a high fee and pools aren't putting your transactions at higher priority. There were some fake OPSIG attack against blocks just now, which could mean that there were some congestion. Mempool is currently more than 21mb right now and pool's are having delay with the blocks, likely due to varience. |

Bitcoin is a decentralised, irreversible and transparent digital currency secured by cryptography, it enables users to transact within seconds across the globe without high fees or the risk of getting your Bitcoins frozen, it defeats double spending by making users solve for hard mathematical problems to include transaction into the transparent blockchain for a reward of 50Bitcoins, set to decrease approximately every 4 years since 2009 to ensure a finite market capitalization, changes in the protocol can also be done, provided that the majority agrees and adopts it.

Thousands? And thats what everyone should have. At least if securing your BTC is your priority.
Some people like to have one receiving address, but HD wallets are much more secure and there's not really a reason to not use one different address for every receiving transactions.
HD wallets aren't more secure than regular wallets. They do prevent losses by making wallets do one time backup but if someone gets the key, all your addresses generated from that will be compromised. Wallets like Bitcoin Core only pregenerate 100 address so even if someone gets the old backup with your 100 used key, they can't do much. |

Another attack...last 6 blocks (edit: and counting) have been hit. Example: #385910 with 19125 fake sigOps. The block is only 200KB despite a 5MB backlog (according to tradeblock). It seems this attack is very effective. Edit: #385911 unaffected (enough high-fee legit txs) #385912 = 18990 fake sigOps, 280KB. #385913 = 18945 fake sigOps, 281KB. #385914 = 17325 fake sigOps, 470KB. ...etc. There is a DOS attack against the blockchain going on right now. It is causing transactions to take longer than usual to confirm. In order to pull of the attack the attacker has to pay a higher than average transaction fee. They will eventually run out of money and the attack will stop, but in the meantime you can send your transactions with higher fees to make sure that your transactions get confirmed instead of the attackers (which will force the attacker to spend through their bitcoins even faster to maintain the attack). This is very interesting... so is this the issue for every transaction at the moment paying 0.0001 ? Likely so. Like dannyhamilton said, there is a limit of sigops a block can have, if it's more than 20000, nodes will reject it as invalid. The attackers flood the mempool with higher fee, higher sigops transaction. Pools prioritize transactions based on the fees/kb. To pull this attack, the transaction fee must be higher than the average fee. The higher fee paid, the higher priority they have. This attack won't be successful if miners do not prioritize TXes with high sigOPS and fee or miners specifically prioritize some transactions. |

For the past four days, all peers show "blank" ping time, the bitcoin-qt 0.11.0C window says "1 year and 40 weeks" behind, but the new /.bitcoin/ directory continues to grow at about 0.5GB per hour. The content of the new /.bitcoin/blocks/ as listed by a file manager in linux stops at blk00120.dat and rev00120.dat
Two days ago, it got to 9GB of RAM in use, but that is back down to 7GB now.
The size according to properties from the linux file manager of /.bitcoin/ continues to grow. Is that correct?
If the ping time is blank then you aren't actually connected to those peers. I'm not sure why the data directory would continue to grow though. That was exactly the problem I faced. The blockchain continued to synchronize, bitnodes won't connect. I made sure that I shut down correctly each time but it never worked. I just ran reindex and let it fully synchronize. The log file didn't have anything strange either. |

PayPal because many online stores accept PayPal.
but not amazon and ebayl also is not partenered with it anymore, so the two big business thing does not accept paypal anymore, but instead you can buy on amazon through purse io with bitcoin so why i should choose paypal now? bitcoin is more accepted or accepted at a better place online Amazon has never partnered nor accepted Paypal as a payment method. Ebay was part of Paypal and they still accept Paypal as of now. Purse.io is just a middle man and quite frankly, there are quite some scammers there based on what I've heard. Gift cards can be bought with stolen credit card remember? It isn't a perfect solution till either of them directly accept Bitcoin. |

Last I checked there was an option to backup your wallet so you still have the private key, in case BC gets crashed/locked etc. Feel free to prove me wrong though
Yup they provide you an option to backup your wallet.dat But not all of us do this.And sometimes backing up increases the chances of getting your coins stolen. If you have a wallet on their server, then you might lose it. The network would go on because all of the users with the right type of wallet downloaded would carry on the blockchain. Imagine if every person on Facebook downloaded and served the website to more people. If the facebook server dropped, the site would go on because there servers all over the world.
Running the network won't be a problem.We are concerned about our coins.Do they have the copies of encrypted wallet at every location(of all the user's)? If you don't have backup for your wallet, then say goodbye for your bitcoin or sue blockchain.info in court and ask them to give back your bitcoin. But, i'm sure they have encrypted backup for their users wallet. Maybe they should advice their users to backup their wallet in case blockchain.info is down or gone  Does block chain have any insurance policy? Has anyone read there T&C?  As far as i know Block chain doesn't have any insurance policy or something similar. If you want your coins to be protected by insurance go to Coinbase, their coins are protected by the insurance so if anything happen you can always retrieve them back It is only covered if it's a hack done by an employees or due to their negligence. You're pretty much done for if someone manage to hack your account. blockchain is down.What could have happened?  BTW, .onion link is working  Looks like they are moving to cloudflare and if its a new setup its might take few hours to resolve... I thought they are getting DDOS attacks their servers has been down about 3 times today, and that isn't part of moving to cloudflare server as far as i know  Yes. It probably wasn't, they were on cloudflare since a long time ago and it's widely known that doing so would give cloudflare a chance to do any MITM attacks. |

There is a faucet inside Primedice but it is 200 satoshi if you don't wager to 1BTC. Due to the house edge, you are likely to do some while doing so. After you reach 1BTC, you have to claim the faucet and make up to a certain amount to withdraw. With a single satoshi of balance, you cannot claim the faucet. This is not a viable way at all. |

I think it's fine, as long as it's not morally wrong, like selling an account with an open loan, or selling a marked account. Doesn't that give the buyer some units of evil?
If it was really wrong, then Theymos would've banned traded accounts long ago.
Units of evil are only given when users gets banned or spam frequently. Scamming isn't moderated. It's important to note that if a negative trust is given to the account and the user knowingly buy it, it will not be removed. There's a reason why many choose to use escrow when dealing with accounts. There is no concrete way to ban trading accounts completely as it isn't possible to tell even with IP change. |

I have 3 hot wallet/address, >30 addresses for various services, 10 for loans, 1 cold storage. With more than one Bitcoin addresses, there are more privacy and it is easier to see the purpose of the transactions since they're all labeled. I currently don't use HD wallet yet, might do so in the future. I found it easier to not use change address as it's rather confusing.

This is my btc address: 15RPtGjWdoXC3krcVAHZ8M37PP2zQMxTT7 You used this address in the past. Can you sign a message from that one? Or to put it in other words: Is this another exchange address or an address from one of your wallets? Yeah this is one of my wallet address too. How to sign message this address, plz let me know. Thank you bro See my thread redsn0w linked. If you need help or you wallet is not listed feel free to contact me. If you use a service chances are high that you can not sign a message because the private keys are not actually yours. Assisted Sofia with the signing and it has verified successfully with the address above. Asked him/her to send a message to Theymos already. |

When BTC started, nobody had any and it was worthless, so it was right to give away thousands of BTC to make it popular. All that has changed. Now that BTC's worth something, now that companies are building on BTC, now that serious business transactions are made with bitcoin, it's about time for faucets to adapt.
BTC is real. It's money, and you've got to work to earn some. I hope all faucets will disappear in 2015. Faucets are hurting bitcoin by making some people believing you can get it while doing nothing sitting in your home. No, BTC isn't like that, and it shouldn't be any easier to get than any fiat currency. Even for small amounts.
Who made any money from faucets? Those re good only for new entrants to test how the system works and I consider them more as a promotional tool, marketing. You can't really play with them much as well since they reward you with only so many bitcoins to cover the fees of a single transaction. Some faucet uses Xapo API to directly send the Bitcoins to the Xapo account. This isn't the perfect solution as it sacrifices the privacy of the user. Xapo does cover the TX fee for the user but I'm not too sure about smaller amounts, I know coinbase requires users to pay fee for very small transactions. It does give the user an experience of using Bitcoin as the user sends the Bitcoin from Xapo. |

I have never purchased account nor understand how it works. Would I be able to have 2 account with same IP for sig campaigns or would I have to use a different computer / ip? Have never had a second account is why I ask - My hubby has a brand new account but would he get an older account to make sig btcs - Just not sure how the process works and how easy it is. Also can the original person just take the account back at any time? I know with WOW accounts you can contact them and get the account back after selling it.
Sorry for these questions just dont want to bid .80 without knowing what im getting into lol
You can use 2 accounts with same IP for anything on Bitcointalk. Admins don't usual log IPs nor restrict the use of multi accounts, much less two people using the different accounts on same network. Signature campaign managers won't mind since they do not have access to the IP either. The account can be taken back with a signed message from the original owner. Hence, for assurance, you need the previous owner to sign a message from a old and unedited address stating the transfer of ownership to you. Make sure you get this. |

Shameless plug to my latest guide. Love it? Hate it? Got other feedback? Let's talk about it. if i am to believe how nlocktime works (sorry havent looked deep into it), but by going by your description the tx wont be mined until it reaches a certain blockheight. this means that the tx just fills up the mempool of miners and nodes waiting for the right blockheight to then finally be mined.. Yes. -snip-
in short
just write a signed tx in your will.. and hand the recipient addresses to the recipients. then you dont have to worry about anyone else messing with the funds because they wont have the privkeys to the original funds
A signed TX requires the inputs to be unspent to be valid. Unless you're sure that you are not going to spend those inputs, you can do it. However, it isn't the case, you are most likely going to do it. And, what if the private keys of the destination address gets forgotten after a long time? Isn't it a better idea to just create a n of m multisig and give one each to the heirs, one in your will and keep a few for yourself. This way, you can spend them and there isn't much risk to it. if you put multisig into a legal Will and hand out privkeys to recipients... the recipients could forget them too... so pretending the recipients wont forget.. then my idea remains valid. same goes for the bit where you said if i was going to spend it or not.. again if i spend it there will be no funds to inherit. thus lets pretend i put aside funds i WONT touch... my idea still stands. i still think giving anyone the privkeys of the original funds, allows recipients collude and work together to raid your funds before death.
so best to just have a signed tx. and only give out recipient address privkeysI'll clarify this part. There is a way that was discussed in the technical support section which only makes a transaction valid if a specific key is used to sign. Include that into your will and there is nothing much to worry. You can create redundancy with multisig. |

you want to switch to 64bit?, because newbie do not have many option, and 777coin offer already the best payment, you will earn few satoshi more at best
so the reason must be for esomething else, i would contact the owner first if you have problem
If I could move to 64 bit? And how satoshi obtained there? I am in 777coin until now not received confirmation from the other side and I want to move to another signature campaign What is 64bit? The closest I can think of is 64blocks and the owners aren't responsing to new request right now. There's Bitvest right now but they are operated by the same owner. |

IMO blockchain.info is the best wallet, multibit is also great because you don't depend on a website that is sometimes down like blockchain.info.
I m use blockchain, xapo, coinbase, multibit, bitcoin core , mycellium, blocktrail i can say the best wallet for daily spending is xapo and coinbase "No fee" The best web wallet for secure is blockchain you can get full acces to your wallet The best android wallet with full acces = bitcoin wallet and mycellium The best cloud wallet is mycellium every wallet is best in each sector Mycelium is not a cloud wallet. Cloud wallets are private keys being stored in the cloud. Mycelium uses BIP32 to generate the key from a HD seed. Only the server is a central validation server. there are a lot of ways to get a safe wallet for example paper wallet but if you want to access your funds fast i would recommend such wallet as blockchain.info or something like that
Yup buddy Blcokchain is best for BTC savings and security systems are good in that and other Purse IO also two factor security like Blockchain.info and Xapo also using by some of the big traders due to its Low fee consumption. Xapo is used mainly for faucets and 0 fee. Blockchain.info isn't good in security despite what you think. 2FA=/good security. 2FA does enhance the security from a client view but not from an attacker with access to the server. Traders do not usually use Xapo, even though there is no fee in transactions, it isn't a huge plus for traders who store coins on exchanges for a longer term. |

I don't know what to think about account selling to be honest! I guess that I have nothing against it. But trust should be reset to neutral during each account sale. Selling of trust is a big NO NO in my opinion since the trust is really the only way to have any confidence in members around here!
I recently talked with a guy who had an account with positive trust and was planning to sell it, and he told me that he didn't tell anyone simply because he knew you could make a lot more money selling with positive trust. Humans are naturally greedy and it's a lost cause hoping that they'll turn away extra money. There is little market for selling accounts with trust. Main reason being that almost all of the users are buying it for signature campaign. Secondly, it's easy to detect the change of ownership with address and posting styles. There is much more market for accounts with constructive post since many campaign now requires it. Bullshit detected, accounts with trust sell like hot bread, you may think there is no market because trusted accounts arent sold often I'd say hot cakes but everyone has a different way of saying it. Anyway, even if they do, I see no reason why it's a huge threat. The forum members are much more clever right now. It isn't worth it to use it to scam. If they aren't sold often, they would be more expensive. Furthermore, most account didn't have much BTC risked which makes it difficult for scammers to make profit. I have a plan guys, account selling shouold be documented, when an account is sold, it receives a neutral rating saying when it was sold and all positive trust gets removed
Great plan! How are you going to implement it? Not many people are as honest as you. |

Absolutely i will choose bitcoin for shopping.
No need to verification for register, fees is very small, and transaction is very fast.
Paypal can do this.
You mean paypal can't do that right? the only things that make bitcoin better than paypal are we dont need to upload our identity and of course low cost even with the high amount of transaction Yes. Paypal can't do that. Sorry little bit miss " 't ". When you create new account, especially in process verification you will have to upload personal information. Which i don't like that. But if using bitcoin, we don't need to verification, even for registration. Just download the wallet and you have account. That's why i love bitcoin it's so super simple and no one can't froze my money, no limit and low cost, not like paypal they can limited my account anytime and its really complicated to fix it First of all if paypal limits your account is for a reason. But this reason can be justified and unjustified! Trust me, I know some people that had their accounts limited and even frozen and this has killed their income earning over eBay, and they lived from selling stuff on eBay! Whenever you have a single person that is deciding your destiny during a dispute, you never how will this end! Thats why bitcoin is getting more and more costumers,with bitcoin sales will be final wont be any kind of chargeback or limit action into any ammount,you holding,bitcoin is the future besides low fees against paypal fees,and those chargeback system and the frozen accounts,besides the main fact of id and bank account to get verified. With low fees, there's volatility and no chargeback system. For merchants, this can be good since they would benefit from both. For customers, it is much harder since you need to store Bitcoin within a wallet and you can only trade with trusted sites and with escrow. |

I'm a UI Designer and while the tech itself is unique and innovative the way it was conceived for massive adoption it's just nonsense. No common people will bother to learn the decimal value system to begin with. It's completely unnatural.
Are you talking about payments being made in fraction of bitcoins? No problem - you can talk in terms of satoshis or millibitcoins, instead of bitcoins. Or if people find it really difficult, they can use dogecoin. That's out of the topic here. Dogecoin is very volatile and using it would most likely cause users to lose money compared to Bitcoin. It is easy to remember the detominations of Bitcoin, you most likely wouldn't need to memorize it when you start to use it. I think the use of Bitcoin is pretty simple for everyone, it's safe and simple transaction just need a while sometime to wait the blockchain confirmations needed and it's then done..I don't think there is any kind of complication when we use Bitcoin
72 hours needed to loading the blockchain...  Full node? A full node is not necessary for Bitcoin users. Even though it offers more security and privacy, most won't be needing it. SPV client offers good security and does not need much time to setup, most likely 1-2 minutes. |
