421  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Sent bitcoins to wallet before it finished syncing.... on: February 10, 2015, 03:26:38 AM
[...]
With that being said...can anyone give me advice? My key was generated by coin.mx, was sent to bitcoin before it synced, dumped the key there then swept by greenaddress wallet and blockchain wallet (at the same time) and stayed at greenaddress.

The last one is the one that currently matters. If you trust greenaddress that they generated it with a proper random number generator, then importing that key won't do any harm. Even more so if you will spend from it soon.

Don't reuse the others or any receiving address. Address re-use is considered by some to be a bit of a privacy issue.


But I see importing has its downsides, as if I ever want to spend from that key even just a portion, I'll end up spending all of it.

If you use Bitcoin Core to spend from it, it will look like it spends all of it, but actually the "change" goes to a new address (hidden from your view) in Bitcoin Core. So your balance shown in Bitcoin Core will be as expected, but if you look at your address on a block explorer it will be emtpy.

That is also where some of the confusion about importing comes from. There were cases where people imported a private key from a paper wallet, spent from it and then deleted the wallet.dat file. Since Bitcoin Core sends change to a new address each time those bitcoins in the change address where lost. In the meanwhile there are now other solutions to spend from paper wallets such as Mycelium (Android, iOS) and others, which sent the "change" back to the paper wallet address.

Keeping the above in mind (Bitcoin Core generating addresses in the background), it is recommended that you back up your wallet.dat every 70 transactions or so. That is an advantage of hierarchical deterministic wallets like Electrum or Armory that you only have to do a backup once.

Haven't tried the script, but the list of connected nodes (http://blockchain.info/connected-nodes) is something interesting and I didn't know was there.

Then you might find this interesting too: https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/

Site is slow to respond in general. The rig history is not accessible at all (times out and then later the Cloudfare screen).

I know mining calculations look not really good at the moment - guess why this thing is still empty...

In your particular case, that would mean you make more from the EU subsidies than mining? If you don't mind sharing, how much are the hydro subsidies this year?

You should have it listed at https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/

He doesn't need to list it. bitnodes has picked it up a while ago.

Isn't coins.ph an already existing platform for this ?
Heard good things about it, and they are now expanding into new countries.

Yup, coins.ph not only do remittance but also exchange and provide online wallet.

I wonder how these 2 compare against each other in terms of fees etc.

Both claim to be free for the end users (apart from fees the third party provider is asking, but bank transfers seem free for example). My guess is both are making their money via the BTC exchange rate. I.e. they display a rate to you, but they are actually able to get a better price from their partners.

[...] taking with it possibly as much as HK$3bn ($386.9m) in investor funds.[...]

That was the claim of the site. Now, why would you trust that number in any way?

I can't read Russian. But I'm sure you at least checked the file hash of the file you downloaded from the official site, yes?

I don't see how this would be useful / a good idea?

Report to Avast as False Positive. Check your settings so the software asks you before deleting anything.

Well, it's called the reference client.

Is there anything developers can do something to address these issues in future releases ?

MyCoin.hk is the new Hong Kong mining ponzi scam, that collapsed last December and broke the news yesterday; estimates (based on mycoin.hk statements) are still 3 billion HKD = 385 million USD.
Estimates that have been demonstrated to likely be false

Have they?  The mining contracts were ~52'000 USD minimum, so the uncertainty is only in the number of contracts that they managed to sell.  The "3000" figure may be inflated, but it is not too high for an MLM scheme

3000 and only 30 want to go to court?

It´s hard to keep track and not to be confused with all those big bitcoin scams and frauds that appear almost weekly.

And even the fiat scams! http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/scam-alerts
It boggles the mind!
