Where can i read about signature campaigns and how that works and what it is?? I keep seeing this posted around as the best way to get into Bitcoin.
Are there any apps or things online to help me earn actual bitcoins?
Despite all the suggestions you will read in this threadUnless you live in a very poor country, the fastest, easiest, and most convenient way to obtain bitcoins is to buy them. I am looking for obviously other ways to earn other than buying due to the large cost per coin at the moment. Any information here would be great!
You don't have to buy a whole coin. You can even buy 1/ 1000 of a bitcoin (or less). |

why is this public... I didn't know everyone had access to everyone's private keys... http://directory.ioEven without that site, everyone has access to everyone's private keys. A private key is just a number between 1 and 0xfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffebaaedce6af48a03bbfd25e8cd0364140. |

Hello odolvlobo! Thank yo so much for a reply! You are a King! I have been trying to get replies from people about Bitcoin and other Crypto, and most people just ignore my pleas. So first, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.  So to be perfectly clear, from your response I gleam: 1. The addresses generated for paper wallets, and the addresses used by exchanges ARE the same thing (or at least, use the same mechanism to be created, and are same num of digits, etc.), BUT! The addresses are sooooo huge, they are highly unlikely to to be used more than once? Right? 2. There is no "check to make sure an address is unique" when it is generated, again because the addresses are sooooo huge, they are highly unlikely to to be used more than once? Right? Yes and Yes |

I took the first address that I have ever used with this wallet and it seems I found the private key. Before I sent all my funds to another account and now i tried to import my privatekey to Coinomi wallet. Unfortunately I receive this message: "The private key does not contain any funds" I am somehow clueless, what did I do wrong ? And how can I redeem my funds ?  I know exactly what you are talking about. A wallet contains many addresses. (That is why the term "wallet address" is wrong.) Unfortunately, I haven't used Bitcoin Core in a long time so I don't remember how to get the addresses with bitcoin coins in them. Take a look at the debug commands to see if there is an appropriate one. |

- Using bitaddress.*** offline, how can I be sure that the generated public key is unique? There have millions of public keys made now, couldn't they overlap?
"Millions of keys" is such a tiny fraction of all the possible keys, the likelihood of generating a duplicate key is close to impossible (assuming the software works well). - When I transfer bitcoin between exchanges, it uses an address just like my wallet? Is this address the same thing as a wallet? Or is it different in some way?
The address is an address in the exchange's wallet. The exchange holds the bitcoins and you have an account. - I plan on holding my bitcoin, BUT! I do not understand how I can transfer it out of cold storage if I ever want to do so? It certainly does not seem as simple as transferring it INTO cold storage was? Am I missing something, or is it actually complicated to transfer out of your wallet?
To transfer the bitcoins out of cold storage, you must "import" the private key (or "sweep" the bitcoins) into a wallet that can send bitcoins. Most wallets support that feature. It purposely inconvenient in order to make the bitcoins more difficult to steal. |

First, bitcoins held by Coinbase do not entitle you to any BCC. Second, any bitcoins received now (from anywhere) will not entitle you to any BCC. Third, the 0.0171 BTC in the transaction is called "change". It is not yours.

I'm surprised that OneCoin is not in that list. It's ironic that you post a scam site in a thread talking about a list of scam coins. |

I enjoy the conspiracy theories about Coinbase stealing the users' BCC.
The problem with these conspiracy theories is that the bitcoins held by Coinbase do not belong to the customers in the first place. They belong to Coinbase, who promises to send you bitcoins when you ask for them, up to the value listed in your account. If I owe someone a bitcoin, I don't feel that I also owe them a BCC, too. |

And so if I make my own fork and they don't support it, then that is also "plain robbery"?

Hello bitcoin talk. New member here. I've been researching crypto for a few weeks now and reading many posts on here in the last few days. I decided to invest and buy 1 BTC today. I am purchasing on bitstamp thru sin trex using my CC. I planned on moving to BTC .com wallet that is supposed to support BCC on the fork tomorrow.
I have some comments to make. I verified thru bitstamp and it took a day or so. Then I have to verify again on sintrex to make a purchase. The verification process seems very time consuming and a little bit frustrating as a consumer. I am not a programmer but I am a constant user of electronic equipment and this process of verification is almost painful enough to deter people from buying and using crypto.
Somebody needs to streamline this process to make it more user friendly if it is to become the new way of paying for things IMO.
Anyways, looking forward to doing more research and trying some trading on the crypto market.
Have a nice day!

Unfortunately, it won't get better. The identification steps are necessary for two reasons: 1. The current financial system makes it very easy for a merchant accepting credit cards and electronic payments to get scammed. 2. Money services businesses with U.S. customers are required to monitor and report your activities to the U.S Government. |

If you don't know what is going on tomorrow, then you can safely assume that it will have no effect on you.

That would be quite a twist, but it it fantasy. He has done a lot to show that he is not Satoshi, despite his claims in the past.

I also supported the suggestion that you should learn JavaScript and Python programming languages. Personally I have started learning python online and it is a very interesting language and very easy to understand at the elementary level I am gradually catching up on the language using an application called sololearn downloaded from google playstore, I am imploring you to the same you will learn so much.
hello, thank you too. python was also my first guess and i'm doing online lessons for the past three days now and it's really fun and interesting to learn. may i ask which programs are used to actually code something like the bitcoin code? There are several implementations written in various languages. I recommend bcoin (written in javascript). You can download it here: https://github.com/bcoin-org/bcoin |

The address that an exchange (such as GDAX) shows you is a deposit address. When you send bitcoins to it, they credit your account and then do whatever with the bitcoins (generally either move them to a cold-storage address or fund another customer's withdrawal).

What's a good wallet for beginners?? Looking for a wallet on phone and computer
The best wallet for beginners on mobile is Airbitz. Also, Bread Wallet is a very basic wallet, and Mycelium is full-featured. I use all three. |

Language is secondary, but Javascript and Python are good.

I just think that a spam transaction attack can easily destroy Viabtc BCH chain. The reason is that this chain will have a very small hashrate, it need many days for the difficulty correction and until then their chain will be stuck.
A malicious person can begin to spam attack this chain and fill the mempool with a huge amount of transaction.
This will be a disaster cocktail and i dont think this small chain can handle the amount of work that need to clear the mempool.
A spam attack would only raise the transaction fees. It wouldn't prevent a transaction with a high enough fee from being confirmed. it is not about confirming transactions with high fees. it is about attacking the network. and effects of a spam attack is far more than just increasing the fees. and during the initial stage that there are a lot of transactions and a long time between each blocks spamming is easy. it can easily be increased to 200,000-500,000 unconfirmed transactions with very low cost. and how long before nodes stop functioning and how long before they implement the same fee policy as core (the same thing they were crying about)! A spam attack on the network will not affect me because I will ensure that each of my transactions will be confirmed in the next block or two by paying a sufficient fee. |

Satoshi set the 1MB cap as a temporary measure, but he predicted that users would get "tyrannical" against raising it because of not being able to run nodes and so on.
I've seen no such statement of Satoshi's. Please provide a link. ...while Bitcoin users might get increasingly tyrannical about limiting the size of the chain so it's easy for lots of users and small devices. ...
Nice, but that statement was not a prediction. It was a hypothetical scenario used to show how one block chain is not necessarily suitable for all applications. |
