Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [bitcoind] several bitcoind instances with one blockchain

Since your issue is simply connecting one instance of the blockchain to multiple servers, my answer on this other post will be relevant to you : I have quick question on how we can use two bitcoin node in load balancing mode. Is there any way, if one node goes down another can take care of all request.
Any inputs are appreciated, we dont want to share dat file to both servers.
I guess you already have a NAS setup? Your servers running the nodes also need to be able to mount a NFS volume. Go to your bitcoin.conf and set the datadir to your newly mounted volume. https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/4r48oa/running_a_node_with_the_database_on_a/d4yolwm/This link has a lot of information that's going to be useful to you. You can download the blockchain and keep it on a NAS, then set the directory in your bitcoin.conf to that drive. The technicalities are detailed very well in the reddit link so check it out.

Everyone here is talking about Pokerstars...
And I have to admit that I am yet to find a BTC accepting site that is reliable. Most of them are either proved scams like betcoin or really poorly made gambling site like Nitrogen...
You can check the website OP mentioned (swc poker), there are freerolls every hour so you can check out the tables before depositing. It looks like a small little community of regs, but then again it's always the case anywhere you go where there isn't a lot of people.

That was cool! I thought all of those gambling sites you and other members suggesting here can only be played in pc. Now I know . Well, I guess I don't need to but a laptop anymore in order to try online betting. I guess I will just search for android apps which offers online gambling. Thanks. Never knew about this myself since I usually stick to gambling on my PC which is why this was a good thread to check out in my case. I have an android mobile which is why I too will check out android apps for gambling soon. I play poker on PokerStars regularly and I especially liked the UI of their website when compared to some other poker sites. The offers are ok in my opinion and the tutorials are helpful. I will be checking out the relevant android apps soon. The first thing I ever thought was "Can I do this on my phone" when I found pokerstars. Like I said above gambling on PC especially for long poker tourneys can very quickly murder worktime, doing it on phone at least means you'll already be using your free time so it's just a quick few rounds before going offline. Pokerstars has a really neat UI for android too, their tourney search feature is top notch.

I wonder what will happening if the wallet hacked. To maintain security of the wallet, i think it must be a huge responsibility to do that. In fiat currency, if you lost your bank account, you may can recover your account with the bank help. But in crypto, once you lose your account, you cannot recover it back if your account already drained out.
In bitcoin you and only you are responsible for every penny in your addresses. Sometimes it's "nice" to have a third party in control because it shifts responsability from you to them in case of a fuckup, but it's ultimately a bad thing because your money is not really yours. You couldn't even dream of moving large amounts of money like you can in bitcoin.

@jeremypwr I think there's been a mistake in the payments for last week. I should've received 0.005 for week (12/24 -12/31), instead, I've received 0.015 Waiting for your reply. They did owe us one extra week, remember the christmas week was delayed +1, then when the next week came we got paid for it and the new year week was delayed +1, so I can understand that we need to be paid double. TRIPLE though is too much it should be 0.01 not 0.015, I think the person in charge of payments was a bit too drunk from new year

Yeah I know but I can't afford to keep it in crypto at this moment.
firstly my goal in this challenge is to build fiat value and not crypto amount. So I can't afford to keep in crypto in the evening and wake up it dropped to much and see a couple of days work vanished. But I do set buy order before going to bed.I mostly set my buys 5-15% lower as the value @ time of going to sleep.
One of the following days or weeks I am also starting the same challenge with the same amount but then I will try to build as much crypto as possible.
So if I stay in BTC overnight in that one it does not matter cause the BTC value will remain the same. But I rather do not have open positions when going to sleep. I could put up stop loss but I rather have only open positions when I am trading during the day and take some smaller profits than hoping there will be a bounce at night. In this way I try to avoid too many losses. At this moment I did not close any position at a loss. After 12 days every single trade got closed with profit and thats the way I like it.
I can understand that, no harm in keeping it all in fiat, worst case you miss out on a bunch of profit but your fiat value stays the same. The hardest thing about your challenge is going to be to keep up your momentum for the whole duration of the challenge. I don't really expect you to do it, (even though I'm sure you'll definitely finish in the green). But if you can keep making more than 3% profits for 90 days you're going to have your initial balance multiplied by 10. My prediction stops looking like a joke then and things might start to get a bit serious for you

I agree/have nothing to say about the upper half of your reply but : I understand its good to follow best practices, but it becomes a negative feat when you do it without asking yourself why.
It is never "negative" when you follow the best practice even if you don't know the reason for it. Mmmmhhh I never disagreed with something so much If everyone thought like you we'd never have progress Especially for software development, every pull request that introduces something new but breaks backwards compatibility needs to be defended by sweat and blood if it's a genuine improvement.. I don't follow bitcoin development up close but I'm sure this is exactly the same for all Bitcoin improvement proposals. Of course this specific issue doesn't "improve" bitcoin so I can agree with you in this specific case. But it's not a bad idea on its own from a user standpoint, so I radically disagree with your philosophy, and the answer to WHY it shouldn't be implemented is very different for the both of us. This doesnt solve the proof of identity problem. Anyone can sign a tx and include any email phone without proving themselves as the owner. I understand you want to keep the privacy of bitcoin, but know that not everyone cares about privacy. Solving this problem would definitely be worth creating something new.
I've already pointed out this flaw and also pointed out that it is the same with any other decentralized way of doing it. You can't prevent people from registering any address with any name no matter what method you use. Goddamnit dude, have some faith! No one said it was easy, this exact issue does seem impossible to work around, but I am willing to bet money we're going to have a solution for this in the future.

Nice challenge you have going on here, I'm surprised with the amount of people voting no. But at the same time I'm disappointed you close your day and keep your funds in fiat.. Arent you feeling the FOMO of when it rises back up? Or maybe you dont sleep? Because of that my expectation of your profits is going to be a bit lower (LOL) . If I average your profits at around 2.6% daily, and that you're going to commit to at least 1% of your total balance every day(Im going to have a laugh watch you struggle the last month), but to account for fuckups on your side I'll divide by three, making my prediction : -KingZee -YES - 450 622$ Good luck!

First of all this is encouraging address reuse which should be avoided.
Can you convince me on why this would be a bad thing? The point of this whole idea is to avoid privacy and link every address to a real life entity, so the only argument you would have would be the security of signing multiple transactions with the same key which is really getting less and less exploitable as an attack target the more time goes by. I understand its good to follow best practices, but it becomes a negative feat when you do it without asking yourself why. Secondly you are complicating things by a lot! Try to think simpler and try to stick with what bitcoin already offers. Let's see what you want to do. You want to link a bitcoin address to another "information" which can be anything including Email, phone number, website link,... So why not use OP_Return? It offers all you want. It signs a "message" so the owner of the key would be clear and it can include any "information" in it. You just have to make a new transaction from that address and include that "information" inside a OP_Return output. Like this (the link to my github page): 6a68747470733a2f2f6769746875622e636f6d2f436f64696e672d456e7468757369617374
Then all the clients have to do is to search the blockchain for OP_Return outputs and build a local database from them. It inherits the same flaws as your proposed system as it encourages address reuse and also it has no mechanism from stopping anyone from linking anything to anything because of decentralization! This doesnt solve the proof of identity problem. Anyone can sign a tx and include any email phone without proving themselves as the owner. I understand you want to keep the privacy of bitcoin, but know that not everyone cares about privacy. Solving this problem would definitely be worth creating something new.

It can be used to debunk all the FUD posts that spring up all over this forum and other online sites whenever a large amount of bitcoin is moved. For a period of two weeks or so in December, we had at least one new topic every day posting about how "a whale" was moving 600k bitcoin, which they were definitely about to dump and bitcoin was going to crash to zero. By knowing that the addresses in question were actually Coinbase's cold storage, and they were simply moving the bitcoin from their current cold storage system to a new one, it was easy to point this out and stop the rising panic amongst all the newbies who believe everything they read at face value.
Basing your trades over whether a whale is moving funds or not has got to be the dumbest thing Regardless, even if large funds were being moved to be sold, you'll never know until they actually are, and then of course the hindsight bias kicks in for the FUDders with the "I told you so" crap. That's even assuming a whale is stupid enough to dump a large amount over a short period of time.. So many arguments can be done against this specific sort of FUD that ranks it among the stupidest and least effective way for them to spread misinformation. Imo if big funds are being moved, it's even more of a good thing for bitcoin because it means early adopters/whales are actually active and up to date with bitcoin's protocol, and are potentially using their coins. Every transaction that moves millions of dollars around with minimal fees prove the point that you could never do the same with banks.

Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22]
|
on: January 01, 2019, 09:26:45 PM

----
Why are you running on safe mode the second time? Try removing -S To quote the response fom this : oclVanitygen generates addresses by using OpenCL. OpenCL can run on GPUs, in contrast to C. After OpenCL thinks an address it created has the expected prefix, it passes the private key (actually the delta value of it), the calculated P2PKH hash and the idx value to the C part of the software. When the GPU calculated hash doesn't match the CPU calculated hash, it dumps the info for debugging.
Short Answer: It would, of course, have printed the private key if it had found an address with the expected prefix.
I also don't get what you're trying to achieve using different seeds. You want to find the same patterns from your input file, so regardless of the seed used, if vanitygen finds a pattern that matches the ones in your file, it'll add it. The seeds only help in changing where vanitygen starts to search for a solution, but provided it runs for long enough (and it looks like it'll need a massive amount of years to find what you want) it won't matter anymore.

I'm wondering if there are any blueprints for such an idea, I think it would be quite easy to do and broadcast people's addresses from a client when an email or a phone number gets input.
This could be integrated with a few clients beyond that, I'm wondering if the solution already exists? The idea being someone takes an address and signed message from it in a way that verifies an email or phone number, a valid from date and a valid to date. Probably run similar to a DNS setup.
This is kind of similar to : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5081685.msg48563244#msg48563244You want to link one (or multiple) bitcoin addresses to a phone number or email. If I don't include the same issues in the post above, where you have to worry about who are the nodes that will host this sidechain of numbers/emails, etc.. you have other issues like people claiming emails and phone numbers without being theirs, if you do plan to add a verification system how would you implement this verification? There needs to be a centralised entity that sends "verification" emails/messages to the people trying to verify themselves, but mostly.. why bitcoin? I understand the reason behind the "why" of what you want to do, but in case you can come up with a solution to the well known "Proof of Identity" problem, I'd recommend starting your own crypto and launching it. (I'm not kidding, it'd be revolutionary)
