I'm not applying for a spot, i just wanted to point attention towards jaceefrost's post:

I would advise everybody to stop applying untill the OP fixes his sig codes, escrows his funds and gives a better explanation about his campaign.

AFAIK, all affiliate links are frowned upon on this forum, the only place where you can potentially place a link is in your sigspace (at least, if the service you're promoting isn't a scam, ponzi, pyramid sheme or any other illegal thing).

Disclaimer: i didn't install electumx on a plain vanilla server (the server was installed several months before installing electrumx and already had a complete python3 environment on it at the time of electrumx installation), it was a while ago so i cannot remember all the steps, so in the end, steps might still be missing and i take no reponsability if something goes horribly wrong...

Good luck!





I have electrumX running on ubuntu 16.04.1. It's already running for 1-2 weeks (don't remember exactly).

My installation was done on a server that was previously configured for python development, so i don't know if a plain vanilla installation will be sufficient (it's possible that i manually installed python3, the python development environment, even some dependancies a long time ago). I do remember it wasn't that easy to get everything running, and i cannot give you a full log of the installation... So i'm going to give you whatever i remember, hope that's enough.
BTW: i'm not doing this for the reward... I'm running electrumx for the community, and have over 200 connected concurrent sessions 24/7, so extra electrumx servers would be welcome to lower the load
BTW²=> don't expect much donations tough... I ran a regular electrum server for a while, and an electrumx server now, and the donations don't even cover 1% of the costs... Only run one to support the community

It was pretty much installing bitcoind.


you might even need something like apt-get install software-properties-common in order to install add-apt-repository

I have the following bitcoind.conf:



Afterwards, i installed the prereqs from https://github.com/kyuupichan/electrumx/blob/master/docs/HOWTO.rst#prerequisites
I installed most of them using pip, altough some of them were rather tricky (you need a correct environment, sometimes even -dev packages to get all the dependancies running).


I don't know if i installed all prereqs using pip, you can also do

Then i created a user with sudo privileges, i cloned the electrumx repo (don't forget to apt-get install git) and did sudo python setup.py install
I also used the same user to start the bitcoind, i added a startup of the bitcoind to my crontab (@reboot bitcoind -daemon)

I then followed the instructions for using systemd (https://github.com/kyuupichan/electrumx/blob/master/docs/HOWTO.rst#using-systemd)

you have to edit  /etc/systemd/system/electrumx.service and setup the correct user
Here is mine:


next, i made 2 files:
/etc/electrumx.conf


In order to generate the server.crt and server.key => Not completely secure, but otherwise you have to type in your password each time you start the service


is a second file /etc/electrumx.banner
You can write whatever you want in there, it will be shown in the console window
You can read the BANNER_FILE section of https://github.com/kyuupichan/electrumx/blob/master/docs/ENVIRONMENT.rst to look at the variables you're allowed to use inside this banner file...

Now, let bitcoind sync, you can monitor by using tail -f ~/.bitcoin/debug.log

I personally use leveldb, and my data directory is /electrumx (make sure it's owned by your normal user).
After bitcoind is sync'ed, you could fire up electrumx by "systemctl start electrumx", but it takes ages to sync... A trick is:
=> go https://jdubya.info/electrum/ElectrumX/, copy the link for the latest leveldb database,
=> go to /electrumx (or whereever your datafolder is) => download the latest tar.gz, unpack in the root of the folder

If you're unsure where to unpack, let electrumx sync for 10-15 minutes, stop electrumx (systemctl stop electrumx), look at the directory structure and overwrite with the downloaded, unpacked files.

Last but not least, these commands will come in handy
systemctl start electrumx
systemctl stop electrumx
service electrumx status
journalctl -u electrumx -f
systemctl enable electrumx
tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep -i electrumx

IF it's nothing illegal/immoral, i'm interested to... Altough nowadays, i'm mostly lurking and not really posting anymore (can't seem to find a lot of interesting topics).
Basically, you can get your sig ad under my 1500+ historic posts and i'll probably make between 3 and 10 extra posts in a month.

PM me if interested

this should do the trick:
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/38487/how-to-setup-bitcoind-10-2-for-solo-mining-on-lan-with-bitmain-s3

Altough, it's a lot of work for just 1 antminer S7, you'll need to run at least a rPi with a daemon and make sure the full setup is correct. An alternative would be to use a solo mining pool like https://solo.nicehash.com/

OmegaStarScream is correct, i only wanted to put it into very simple wording...
You could look at your private key as a code to a safe (the example is not completely analog, but it's similar).

You have a safe, an this safe can be opened by code 12345. This is the code to open the safe, the only code.
If you would save this code online (or write it on a piece of paper), everybody who gets their hands on the code can get into your safe, so, it might be wise to encrypte the code. So when you print it out while it's encrypted, nobody can use it straight away.
You write your own (very basic) encryption algorithm.. 1 = a, 2 = b, 3 = c,... So your encrypted code is "abcde".
Offcourse, when you go to your safe, you cannot type in "abcde". You have to decrypt your code before you can use it to open your safe. So, when you get to your safe, you have to to convert your encrypted code "abcde" back to "12345" before it can be used to access your funds.

Same thing goes for your private key... you can encrypt it, so you can safely print it out, so that when it get compromised, the person finding the key cannot use it directly, but it's still the same private key, it needs to be decrypted before it can be used. (offcourse, the encryption used to encrypt a private key is much stronger than the imaginary example i gave)

I also received my payment... 
It was nice to work with you!

Here's the dutch translation:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1705069

Algemene inleiding over de BitConnect munt
BitConnect is een open source, peer-to-peer, gemeenschapsgedreven, gedecentraliseerde cryptomunt dewelke mensen in staat stelt om hun geld te investeren in een munt die niet door de overheid word gecontroleerd, en hier zelfs een aanzienlijke intrest mee te verdienen.

De Bitconnect munt kan zowel online als offline gekocht en verkocht worden. De populairste manier is om deze te uit te wisselen op een crypto currency site, waar je Bitconnect kan kopen, verkopen of omwisselen voor een andere digitale munt, of voor baar geld.

Voorverkoop
De voorverkoop zal ongeveer 46 dagen duren, en begint op 15 November 2016 om 11:00:00 GMT. Het eind van de voorverkoop is op 31 December 2016 om 17:00:00 GMT. Na de succesvolle afsluiting van de BitConnect voorverkoop zal Bitconnect de BitConnect munten vrijgeven aan Bittrex en aan de mensen die rechtstreeks munten gekocht hebben van BitConnect. Hierna zal de markt geopend worden.  


Deze voorverkoop zal gehost worden door Bittrex, een van de grootste markten in Amerika, en door Bitconnect zelf.

Een maximum van 4.8 miljoen BCC (BitConnect Coin) zal verkocht worden tijdens de voorverkoop. Dit komt overeen met ongeveer 17% van het totaal aantal BCC dat uiteindelijk in omloop zal komen (28 miljoen BCC). Het overige aantal Bitconnect Coin zal vrijgegeven worden door Pow/Pos block reward.

• Voorverkoop bij de markten : 2.4 Miljoen
• Voorverkoop bij BitConnect : 2.4 Miljoen

De Bitconnect munt zal verhandelbaar zijn op Bittrex en poloniex na de voorverkoop.

Belangrijke Mededeling
Munten die niet verkocht werden aan het eind van de 46ste dag van de voorverkoop, inclusief deze op bittrex, zullen gehouden worden door BitConnect. Deze munten zullen voor volgende doeleinden worden gebruikt:

• Technologie Bouwen, Onderhouden, Upgraden
• Marketing, Bouwen aan de gemeenschap
• Bounties & Stimulansen
• Houden voor toekomstige ontwikkelingen

Binnen de 5 dagen na het succesvol afsluiten van de voorverkoop zal BitConnect de BitConnect munten vrijgeven aan Bittrex en aan de gebruikers die hun munten rechtstreeks bij BitConnect kochten, en zal de markt geopend worden.

Hoe worden ze gebruikt?
De BitConnect munten worden gebruikt door BitConnect, door de gemeenschapsleden om diensten de kopen van Bitconnect en om rijkdom op te slaan en te investeren in een munteenheid die niet door de overheid gecontroleerd word. De BitConnect munten zullen ook gebruikt worden als een betaalsysteem op verschillende BitConnect partner websites.



Hoe worden ze gemaakt?
BitConnect coin gebruikt een speciaal algorithme, POW/POS genaamd, om het BitConnect Coin netwerk te beveiligen. Vanaf het moment dat je BitConnect Munten aankoopt, word dit een intrest verdienende investering die 120% per jaar opleverd door POS fabricatie. Het enige wat jij moet doen om met deze methode intrest te verdienen is deze munten in je Bitconnect-QT portemonnee houden. Behalve POS fabricatie, kan de BitConnect munt ook gemined worden met behulp van een CPU/GPU, er is geen ASIC miner nodig zoals bij Bitcoin.

Ter info:

De OP is een letterlijke vertaling van https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1681719.0 . Ik heb enkel de vertaling gemaakt, en ben voorts niet betrokken bij dit project.
Voor opmerkingen, vragen of problemen neem je best contact op met de developer (zie https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1681719.0). Vragen die toch bij mij terecht komen zal ik waarschijnlijk negeren, of gewoon doorsturen aan de developer zelf.

I can do dutch, altough the task would get a low priority on my work queue (tbh)

Since i applied without posting my address, here it is: 1d92FUSg7wUafUi77R6yjUpZVhTMKpzuQ

Thanks
I'll try translate the thread during the course of next week!

On a sidenote, i wish to state that, given the size of the offered bounty, this job (if i'm chosen to do it) would have a rather low priority on my workqueue, so if other dutch speaking members have a shorter workqueue, feel free to offer the job to them instead of me ...

As asked by the campaign manager, i have now removed my signature, personal text and avatar. I have archived my profile to prove that i was wearing my sig untill december 1st.

https://web.archive.org/web/20161201080150/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=513122

I've started with 1496 posts, and ended with 1513, so i've made 17 of the 30 required posts in 2 of the 7 running weeks

BTW: a big thumbs up to Avirunes and Lutpin for trying their hardest to follow the most honest and ethical path!

For me: twice... I once invested in what later turned out to be a ponzi cloudmining company. They made a lot of effort to make everything look legit... Fake whois, phone number, address, photoshopped images of hardware.
They payed out for a while, and afterwards disappeared with the remainder of my funds.

I've also had a guy defaulting on a loan i gave him long ago (somewhere in 2015). He gave his account as collateral but he took 2 loans at the same time and didn't give collateral to the second guy, so his collateral was red-tagged by the other victim and became useless to me.... I'm going to count that one as a scam aswell.

AFAIK, you have two posts: The one i'm replying to and this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1696674.msg17024083#msg17024083

If other posts got deleted by the mods, it's usually because they considered the post to be spammy (+1, me to, giving the same reply, completely offtopic, wrong subforum,...)

Stupid question, but did you contact their support department?
Also, are you sure the transaction was confirmed? There is a huge backlog lately, so a lot of transactions remain unconfirmed.

If contacted their support and you're sure your tx was confirmed, the only real proof for opening a scam accusation would indeed be to post their letter of guarantee, altough this will void your privacy.

I personally like electrum when i need a wallet for BTC and coinomi if i need a multi-coin wallet.

no, it's not normal... 0.12.1 wasn't deterministic AFAIK, so it should generate new private keys at random. It should not be possible to have 1 collision, let alone multiple. If you were running 0.13.x, and generated a new wallet, it would have been deterministic (HD) if everything was left default. In that case, if your new wallet contained the same seed as somebody else's, you would create exactly the same private keys. The chances of this happening are close to 0, but still a lot larger than creating random keys and hitting existing ones each time.

Are you sure you're not using an old wallet.dat and you're seeing your own transactions? Did you already try to rescan? Are you fully synced?

So they gave you this address: https://blockchain.info/address/18YCnsr5Qa3bQwBusNVQpbQ3Gxdh7n3BCX

Could you post the transaction id of the transaction in which you've sent the BTC?

I have no experience with Excash , but it's possible they're scammers. (no scam accusation here, just stating the fact that there are a lot of scam exchanges on the web)

Received, thank you very much
