znd@znd-desktop:~/lightning/lightning$ ./lightningd --alias=znd --rgb=42f459 --network=bitcoin  --bitcoin-datadir ~/.bitcoin --log-level=debug
bash: ./lightningd: Is a directory

Can you list the output of ls -al ?
But if lightningd is a directory, then open it and run the command inside the directory where your executable (called lightningd) is located.

Ok, so you don’t list all the tokens in the exchange?
My concern is: if my ico reached its soft or hard cap and I’m ready to pay an exchange to list my token, why people would trust me while I’m holding most of the tokens? For example, i list 10% of the tokens in Poloniex, and i own 20% of this project, as per my whitepaper,, where is the 70% of the tokens staying at??

You (as a person) do not list anything at all.

If you pay an exchange to list your token, you are paying them to enable the possibility to buy/sell tokens on that exchange.
You can not list an X amount of tokens. You are just paying for the exchange to offer the service of trading your tokens.

The amount of tokens available to buy/sell on the exchange is determined by the amount of tokens which get deposited to the exchange (e.g. by 'investors').


4123  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: If I forget wallet's password? on: July 10, 2018, 02:59:15 PM
So you mean that If I lost my private keys than this wallet recovery service can provide me my private key??

No.

This means that if you have forgotten the password to your wallet file, they might be able to crack it if you provide them enough information (e.g. length of your password, chars which for sure have been used in your password, excluded characters, patterns you use when choosing a password, etc.. )

Of course there is no guarantee that it will succeed.
But humans tend to pick weak passwords which also do not differ too much from older passwords.

A proper optimized algorithm can bruteforce such a low-quality password.


But if you have lost your private key (e.g. lost your wallet files), there is no way to recover your coins (assuming you don't have any backups of course).
4124  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How Should I proceed in blockchain development on: July 10, 2018, 02:55:38 PM
My further research revealed that a block chain developer should be well versed in front end development (like HTML, CSS etc, so I will start with them for a time being)

IMO front end developing is the least useful for you to learn at this stage.
While it might be funny to create fancy sites with lots of animations and a nice appearance, it is not programming.

You will need programming skills if you want to dive into blockchain development.



People also refer to Solidity development, but it look more of  smart contract on Ethereum platform, I am right now, not interested in that.

Solidity is pretty easy to learn. It is mostly self-explanatory.
You should start with some basic languages and learn the general approach / routines when developing a software.

The language itself can be learned within a few days/weeks.
After you have successfully finished your first projects, you won't need that much time again to learn another language.



If I'm not mistaken ByteBall's official wallet is written in JavaScript

One can always spot low-quality projects by things like that Roll Eyes

So basically coinbase means the very start of the transaction from the 12.5 btc received by the mining after solving a block?
Have to make this clearer. If lets say I have mined the 12.5BTC and distribute this coins to different addresses I make transactions with, this means that 12.5 BTC is the coinbase, right?

The coinbase transaction is the transaction inside a block which does NOT reference any previous transaction outputs.
It basically is the transaction which 'creates bitcoins'.

If you use those 12.5 BTC from a coinbase transactions to create 12 outputs (each containing ~1 btc), those are NOT 'the coinbase'.

The 12.5 BTC transaction is the coinbase transaction.

For example: This (https://www.blockchain.com/de/btc/tx/d589346c6b7a173e031dcbb70a8ce471406e6df5cbcd47ecf81cd4bbbf685270) is the coinbase transaction of the latest block (#531340).
It cointains the 12.5 BTC mining reward + ~0.27 BTC fees.
4126  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who gets the money?? on: July 10, 2018, 02:19:16 PM
If I asked an exchange to list my 100% of supply to public..and 100% of the tokens
were bought already..who gets that money??

I don't understand your question. Mind explaining it in detail (and maybe in a slightly better english) ?

You don't ask an exchange to list your '100% of supply'.
You ask them to list your token. It will be then available for trading on this exchange.

People have to deposit tokens onto the exchange for others to be able to buy some.

And about what kind of money are you talking about? You have to pay the exchange to list your token.
So the exchanges gets money from you, in this case..
4127  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: One new block how many transactions it can process? on: July 10, 2018, 02:12:44 PM
Originally, I didn't send unconfirmed balance. I sent from my balance.

You did.
Your 'balance' does also show unconfirmed balance.

If you do have one 1 BTC output and create a transaction 'sending 0.1 btc', your transaction will basically look like this:
Input:1BTC -> Output1: 0.1BTC, Output2:0.9BTC

After you broadcast this transactions your balance shows 0.9 btc. But this is an unconfirmed balance.

And since you were repeating this step 80 times.. it definitely makes sense that the chain of unconfirmed transactions got too long to be accepted by the majority of nodes.



And how to rebroadcast it?

Look here.

4128  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Nano S API Sync Error on: July 10, 2018, 01:59:05 PM
I had problems syncing my Nano wallets a few weeks ago. Ultimately the problem was outdated drivers - go to your device manager (Windows) and update the drivers for your Human Interface Devices.

Thats not a 'syncing' issue. And it is also in no way related to ledger's API.

Your problem was completely client-sided.

While on the other hand the problem of the OP seems to be on ledgers end. The error message named "synchronization error" describes an error where the application can not retrieve all the necessary data from ledgers API server (e.g. transactions, current balances, .. ).
4129  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What kind of data can be stored on the blockchain ? on: July 10, 2018, 01:52:53 PM
Lots of people thinks that Blockchain is a database, actually its not. Blockchain is a digital ledger where any transaction can be processed related to Finance, Medical, and any field which include value

Actually, a blockchain is a data structure.
It is, in bitcoins case, a public ledger. But it doesn't have to be (1) public, neither does it have to be a (2) ledger.

The basic idea behind the blockchain is to create an immutable structure of 'blocks' refering to the previous one, creating a 'chain'.
What kind of data is going to be stored inside of a blockchain, is completely up to the application utilizing this technology.

"Just" 6600 means "just" 6600 clicks in Bitcoin Core to select them. I don't think it's worth scripting to use the CLI, you can finish this in an hour.

Writing a small script shouldn't take more than 3 or 4 minutes. It is at least 12x faster  Tongue



Next thing to do would be claiming all forks, doing the same again. See if you can fill some fork blocks to the maximum size.

With a script you could save the time needed to do it by hand (again) and simply just edit the script within a minute.

IMO, this is definitely the better/faster approach than selecting 6k+ entrys 'by hand'.
4131  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Having somes troubles with wallet QT! on: July 10, 2018, 01:39:49 PM
My question is how to resend old transactions?,cos  they seems to old to be resend, untill I Fully synced up and -rescan -reindex -addressindex (all command line)

Did you check these transactions on a blockexplorer whether they have been confirmed / do not exist ?
Because, if they havn't been confirmed in 2014/2015 chances are very high these inputs already have been used in another transaction.



I'll try everithing I know, In the dump wallet file there is entries with privkey and an address.

The best thing would be to check the addresses for a balance on a block explorer.
To redeem your coins, download electrum, import the private keys and create a transactions. This procedure takes less than 3 minutes. Way faster than waiting for core to be fully synced.
4132  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I've been waiting for bitcoin transaction for 4 hours+... WTF??? on: July 10, 2018, 01:33:00 PM
It actually depends on the volume or weight of transaction. The more the transaction that is being process, the more time you need to wait

The transaction size/weight doesn't influence the amount of time it takes until your transaction is being included into a block.
All that matters is (1) the fee rate (sat/B) and (2) the amount of transactions in the mempool waiting to get confirmed.



Because of huge number of users to its blockchain, the transaction time taking longer and also asking for a higher fees that usual.

Nothing and noone is 'asking you' to pay a higher fee.
1 sat/B transactions do get accepted. If you aren't in a hurry and can eventually wait, the cheapest fee rate is enough to get a tx confirmed.
4133  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Is there an operating system that syncs Bitcoin core the fastest? on: July 10, 2018, 01:27:37 PM
Anyway, I was wondering, before I go to the effort of installing Ubuntu, is there a faster operating system

This depends on your hardware.
If you are considering running ubuntu on old hardware you might want to use mint, lubuntu or xubuntu.
But if you are using a somewhat modern hardware, it doesn't make a difference in performance.



also, I can use the same block database I already have on Windows that hasn't fully synced yet can't I?

This should work, yes.
4134  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Lightning Node on: July 10, 2018, 07:43:23 AM
1.When I typed that I get:
znd@znd-desktop:~/lightning/lightning$ lightningd --alias=znd --rgb=42f459 --network=bitcoin  --bitcoin-datadir ~/.bitcoin --log-level=debug
lightningd: command not found

Command not found appears because you didn't set a path variable.
Navigate into the folder again and use ./lightningd instead of lightningd.
In your case: ./lightningd --alias=znd --rgb=42f459 --network=bitcoin  --bitcoin-datadir ~/.bitcoin --log-level=debug


2.what is the difference between bitcoind and the core? bitcoin core is fully synchronised and both ways connections.

The executable named core is the GUI version, bitcoind runs without a GUI and is a daemon.
4135  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Transactions on: July 06, 2018, 06:49:49 AM
What is the coinbase transaction

It is the transaction inside a block where coins are created (no previous output referencing this coins).
It basically is the mining reward (currently 12.5 BTC).



and how does it influence in the transaction?

It doesn't really influence anything (unless i am missunderstanding your question).
It is just one out of 1k+ transactions inside a block.



How does it relate with the amount of transactions that fit inside a block?

Well, there fit as many transactions into a block until the weight has reached 4.000.000 (one weight unit has been set to 1/4.000.000 of the blocksize).
The coinbase transaction is just one of them (which is even slightly smaller than a standard transaction).
4136  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Blockchain Related Degrees on: July 06, 2018, 06:42:02 AM
Currently there are no 'blockchain orientated' degrees (as far as i know). But to be honestly, that is not necessary.

A good bachelor/master in IT (or any other subject heavily related to IT) will be enough to start diving into 'blockchain' and to be accepted/respected in this area.

It mostly depends on what exactly you want to do which is related to blockchain. But in most cases programming and the basic understanding of IT systems is enough.
4137  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Hardware Wallets vs. Software Wallets on: July 06, 2018, 06:31:36 AM
Except the "unhackable" BitFi Hardware (Brain)wallet Tongue

Please..
Everyone knows this wallet is unhackable and doesn't need to store private keys longer than the fraction of a second.
Why would such a superior wallet only used by superior minds need a backup ?

It is ultimatively secured without the need of a backup.  Cool


Note: That was Sarcasm. This wallet is a money grab and is as secure as a brain(fart) wallet.
4138  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum Wallet Problem on: July 06, 2018, 06:23:33 AM
Doing the "refresh" in Windows 10 will in fact delete everything in your %AppData% directory...

...there are different types of "resetting" or "refreshing" options in Windows 10 for doing this.


What exactly are you talking about when saying 'refreshing' windows ?
The only option i can find in my settings is the 'reset'-option.

When resetting, windows does indeed ask whether to keep or remove files. It makes sense that in this case the AppData folder does get deleted.



I had a backup of Electrum on an external hard drive, so I copied the Electrum folder and replaced the one on my PC with this, but it still didn't work.

Why doesn't your backup work? Do you get any error message?
Or does it create an 'empty' wallet ?
4139  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Old laptop with Bitcoin Folder on: July 06, 2018, 06:14:15 AM
If you want to help , please list it step by step like I’m a 10yr old kid.  Cheesy
Note: Laptop is old , battery sucks and Hard drive is full . I’m in a process of deleting files to accommodate
The file needed to be downloaded.


I have already mentioned how the general approach does work. More detailed information can be found on the internet.

In case you have overwritten your wallet file, a better approach would be to not touch your computer anymore and make an image of your hard drive (e.g. with linux dd).
And then run a recovery software on this image to find any *.dat files (e.g. with recuva).

Every information you need can be found on the internet.
For tutorials on how to create images with dd, look here. And for a guide on how to use recuva, look here.

Yes, maybe someone has a compiled for win 10. Because I never compiled anything. Thanks for the help.

No. Noone has 'a compiled' for windows.
If you want to use it on windows, you will have to actually READ the README file and follow the instructions. This will cost you 10 minutes of your time.
Instead of asking for pre-compiled binaries, you might also ask for a compromised version including a backdoor (Did you already receive messages from newbies?)..

Read and follow the readme: https://github.com/matja/bitcoin-tool/blob/master/README.md#window

It is way faster than waiting for someone to compile it for you..
