Of course, there's nothing really stopping anyone from creating a more successful COVFEFE token.  Hmm... which would be the true COVFEFE?

Is this still an offer?  How many COVFEFE can I get for the requested donation?

Will they show up in Parity?

Wow, all four of my transactions that had been stuck for two days now have two confirmations in under an hour since I paid cyyap95!

Amazing service!  

Just after I'd posted that message above, I clicked the link and saw the confirmations.  I thought for a moment that I'd posted the wrong link.  I figured it would take a few hours at minimum. 

Here are all four (now with 3 confirms):

By comparison, this other one that went through fine on 5/25, when it was originally placed, now has 328 confirmations:

Thank you, cyyap95!  I will recommend your service to others.

I have hired cyyap95 to unstick four transactions including

I look forward to reporting good news.

I just heard this news today - what a bummer.  There was over 109 BTC in the wallet until just recently.  Obviously you've made your decision, but it's too bad it couldn't continue until the wallet ran dry.  It was only this year that I started to pitch Bitcoin 100 to local non-profits, only to discover it was basically over.

It's now going to be a lot harder to overcome objections to non-profits accepting bitcoin.  "Why should we jump through all these hoops?" would get wiped away as an objection if a $1,000 donation was in the offering. 

Would have been cool if this could continue, but thank you for doing it for as long as you did and as successfully as you did.   

No one told me I was supposed to use the test service, so I am using real bitcoin with the Dark Wallet alpha.

It's been a bug-filled experience, but still this is promising software.

I tried to give away some bitcoin to listeners of my radio show, and it has been confusing and slow.  I outline some of my experiences, for anyone who cares, here in this thread:  https://www.facebook.com/freetalklive/posts/10152121299029072?stream_ref=10  - my comments are as "Free Talk Live".

I sure hope this gets out of alpha soon.

FYI: I dug up an old version of electrum and it worked with that.

What a nightmare.  I will never recommend electrum to anyone ever again after this.  Why in the world would they have not made future releases compatible with old .dat files, is bewildering to me!   

Thx

Where is that?  Is it one of the links on here?

https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum

The new version cannot appear to open its own electrum.dat file, so I am looking to find an older version, say 1.7 range, that will.  Anyone know of a repository of old versions?  The electrum site only goes back to 1.8.

Thanks!

Hrm, on further inspection, when I click the receive tab on electrum, it shows no addresses.  Perhaps newer versions of electrum do not like this old electrum.dat format?

I am now trying the electrum.dat on a windows copy of electrum.  Prior to opening this electrum.dat, I used the default wallet to receive .01 BTC just to make sure the server was working, and it is.

However, as soon as I opened electrum.dat the program reads 0BTC in the wallet, which I know is not true.  WTF

I appreciate any assistance or expertise you can give.  Thanks!

Tried a few - wasn't having much luck with them.  What are the good ones?

The electrum.dat is encrypted, but that should only matter if I'm trying to do something like extract the private keys, right?  I am not too familiar with electrum, but I recall last time just being able to plop the electrum.dat in the proper place and run the program and I'd have access to the wallet without need for a password.

I  checked the public key in question via blockchain.info - the BTC are definitely in there.  I opened the electrum.dat in a text editor and the same public key is in the file.  So, it SHOULD work.  Unless new versions of electrum don't like their old electrum.dat file?  That seems unlikely.  I'd expect it to be legacy .dat compatible...

My friend's electrum wasn't working so I installed the latest version and we took his vault electrum.dat out of cold storage and put it in the wallets directory on his linux system.  (There was a file called default_wallet in there that I'd never seen before - did they stop using electrum.dat files at some point?)

Anyway, ran Electrum, opened his electrum.dat as the active wallet and despite having a network connection, the wallet is showing as zero BTC and no transactions are showing.  I opened up the electrum.dat to make sure it was the right public keys and it was.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

however kattare.com is working and ltc.kattare.com is pinging - did we all just get jacked for the LTC sitting unclaimed in our accounts?
