1521  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum: What does bad-txns-vin-empty mean? on: July 19, 2018, 09:03:55 AM
Code:
I wanted to test out a segwit wallet on electrum, but when I broadcast a new transaction I get the this error.
[code]
error: {'code': 1, 'message': 'the transaction was rejected by network rules.\n\n16: bad-txns-vin-empty

Steps to reproduce
1. Create new segwit wallet with electrum
2. Send funds to an andress from this wallet
3. Send funds from this address

What does this error mean and how can I fix it?[/code]

I think the error here in this case is related to you trying to spend coins with a segwit scrip/adress, while the wallet/server you are using doesn't recognize the script, and is thus unable to broadcast it.

Which is pretty weird, considering i also use Electrum segwit and never had any issues.

Try switching electrum servers, see if that does anything?

Check the reference of your trust feedback. You clearly tried to sell a service on a third party website that is highly frowned upon by a lot of users here, and might even be against forum rules (ICO bumping).

1523  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Really possible to send money anonymously through Bitcoin? on: July 18, 2018, 01:27:06 PM
Your personal data can not be traced with BTC address, but everyone can know the time and amount of bitcoin transaction you do.
Well, that really depends on who's looking into it. As others have already said, alot of exchanges/other places where you can buy bitcoin require KYC, aka your personal data.

So if that adress traces back to an adress of an exchange that enforces KYC laws ( coinbase, bitstamp et al), there's a good chance law enforcement agencies will find out who you are.

There are obviously ways to break that chain, but it usually involves another 3rd party that you'll need to put trust in... See mixers as others have already mentioned.

So where exactly do you draw the line between trolling and spreading misinformation simply because you do not know better/ believe in something that is different from popular opinion..

If you ban this guy, are you also going to ban this guy? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=244104

Is this  website legit?

https://heleum.com/team/

It promise a good   ROI  after  3 months

Can someone reccomend it?

The site has all the warning signs of being a scam.

Promising good ROI + the fact that they have come up with a "saving" accelerator which lets them trade with less risk and more reward really sounds like a fairy-tale to me, and is something every ponzi claims to have (Some ludicrous method to justify the amount of money they are giving out/generating.)

I would personally stay a mile away from this site and it's team.

From their website:
Quote
The team brainstormed and came up with the investment automation concept for their first app, Heleum, in November 2015: a mesh network of currency values that would reduce the risk of trading while increasing the reward, compared to the inverse risk/reward inherent to the world's prevailing binary paradigm.

I always ask myself for what they would need my money  if they really have found such a unique and revolutionary way to make lots and lots of money.. Surely there would be some big funders jumping up on this if it was actually real, which would ask way less ROI..

By being careful you mean not linking your wallet id anywhere? How do they generate wallet ID's in the first place?



Well being careful just means that you don't make a connection between the ''bitcoin'' world and your own ''world'',  which basically comes down to not linking any sensitive information to any of your adresses..

Quote
How do they generate wallet ID's in the first place?

Who is ''they''? What is it that you're asking here exactly? How the government agencies link wallet adress to people? Or services like https://walletexplorer.com ?

There really isn't such a thing as a wallet ID, it really doesn't exist on the blockchain level itself.

AFAIK, Walletexplorer.com does it through "adress clustering"

See;

What walletexplorer does is called address clustering. When you spend bitcoins, your wallet will take input from several txouts belonging to several addresses depending on amount to be spend. So walletexplorer works on a simple heuristic:

If two addresses appear as inputs in any given transaction, they belong to same user
More detail about this method can be seen in this paper by Reid and Harrigan. Of course, this method will fail in case of mixers and coinjoin transactions. There are advanced ways to even detect transaction that go through mixers, but I don't think wallet explorer does that

To find name of wallets it can scrap forums like bitcointalk, some addresses are tagged publicly in blockchain.info, also it can has bots trade on major exchanges to get their addresses.

I doubt this would work very well on individuals, but it's very effective to ID large exchanges this way.
1527  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Is quantum computing threat to Bitcoin ? on: July 13, 2018, 06:12:47 PM
If you're not careful with your keys & spending, it might be (Since the private key could be cracked if the attacker has your public key, right(?)), but then again, when the time of quantum computing is here we might have already implemented some kind of "resistance" against it.

See the answer below, and the SE link for some more discussion & useful answers from people that are much more knowledgeable than me on the topic.

You have a good discussion in:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=133425.0

Basically, ECDSA is compromised, hashing isn't. With a quantum computer, you could easily deduce the private key corresponding to a public key. If you only have an address, which is a hashed public key, the private key is safe. Anyway, to spend a transaction, you need to send the public key. At that point you are vulnerable, but the attack is not straightforward.

In general, quantum computers are not exponentially better than classical computers. You cannot access all the states in the superposition, only global properties. You can read http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/The_Limits_of_Quantum_Computers.pdf to get a good idea of what they can and cannot do.

And, as mentioned in the quote above, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=133425.0 is pretty informative about the topic as well.
1528  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Full Node and Lightning Node bandwidth question. on: July 13, 2018, 11:12:31 AM
I'm planning to run two nodes sometime soon, but I have to decide which solution is better.
To build a physical machine home or get a VPS.
And here comes the question about the Internet bandwidth.
I have a shitty ADSL line with no more than 7Mbit connection, in the best cases.

What is the real bandwidth required for the Full node and same question for the LN node, does the number of open channels affect the bandwidth.



I believe it heavily depends on the number of simultaneous connections you'll allow. (Default = 125?), https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#reduce-maximum-connections

For the exact requirements on full nodes, see https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#minimum-requirements , which states
Quote
A broadband Internet connection with upload speeds of at least 400 kilobits (50 kilobytes) per second

As far as lightning goes, i would assume so, but perhaps someone with more knowledge than me can answer that.

Honestly, i think what companies/ICO ''teams'' are mostly looking for is someone who is trusted and somewhat experienced on/with this forum. I don't think that's something you just "learn" or get ( trust ), but rather something that grows over time.  so there really isn't that much to teach.

Hi all,
As the topic says, from where I can buy anonymous hosting and domains?
Thanks!

Maybe https://njal.la/?

Haven't personally used them since i just use namecheap myself, but AFAIK these are the only ones that offer to be a broker for your domain that have somewhat of a reputation. See https://news.bitcoin.com/pirate-bay-founders-njalla-offers-anonymous-domain-registration-for-bitcoin/


Also some critique/discussion i found around the service that is definitely worth a read.
It's looks like it is something very ground breaking, but in reality it really isn't. It's just them registering a domain for you, with their own details (whatever those may be), but you have access to these domains whenever you want. Important factor here is that you agree that legally, they (Njalla) are the rightful owner of the domains you purchase through them. As far as their pricing levels go, it's €15 for the most common domain extensions (e.g .com, .org, .net, etc), and then increases up to €75 for a bunch of garbage domain extensions. It will definitely serve some people, but it's an incredibly small market they have put themselves into. People in most cases have no problems registering domains, knowing that they can put themselves behind a whoisguard wall.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2192127
 
I don't really get their business model either, or how this is profitable, especially with all the shady stuff users are probably doing with this service that njalla is going to be "responsible" for... Huh

Frustrated with the lack of realistic price predictions for your favorite coins?

How exactly do you calculate this? You expect bitcoin to be 10 Million in Dec 2023, and ~13000 in just 3 months from now. Seems like you just took some numbers or increased it with a formula..

You have bitcoin cash at 1.2 million in DEC 2023?  Roll Eyes I guess that proves that this isn't really based on anything.

Or better yet, a coin that has suffered numerous 50% attacks and has an arguable bad dev team (XVERGE), should be worth 38.8$ by 2023?? That's a huge increase from 0.02$..

First, I found my Old HDD and on this, there somes coins since 2014/2015.
Generally I made somes saves on Hard disk and store it In a safely way (disconnect)

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)

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

I'm talking about mining transaction, cos I've Antminer SHA (running good) and Asic script. Sometimes I mine witth GPU.

So? How to resend old transactions? Is there in cache.dat file?

If I understand good, orphan tx are stored in a special file and setup standard at 100Mo?




Quote
Orphaned transactions are returned to the memory pool, they are never "lost". If the TX did cease to exist from the mempools, it would just be as if they has never been sent, so again they wouldn't be lost.
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/13987/what-happens-when-you-send-a-transaction-that-ends-up-in-an-orphaned-block-is-i

This means your transaction basically never got confirmed. After your wallet is fully synced you should (?) be able to simply rebroadcast it, as jack already mentioned? If not, you can then just make a new transaction, assuming you still hold all the keys, which you said you did.


The easiest/fastest way however to get access to your bitcoins would probably be to import all your keys into a SPV wallet like Electrum, and make the transaction to your other wallet from there. This way you don't have to wait for your wallet to completely sync.

The site itself already looks sketchy to me, especially their business model. It seems as if they made it unclear what it really is that they're doing on purpose to conceal that what it is their doing.

The loans might be the real deal, but against what price? Your passport information? I wouldn't be so keen to give that to these guys, especially if you read the thread below.
The term investment pool is making me really, really anxious, as these usually turn out to be a scam.

Googling around a bit, you can find various sources saying negative stuff about them. I'm not saying that all of this is true, but it should be something you want to look into before investing in them...

1537  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is the Blockchain getting abused? on: July 06, 2018, 02:04:06 PM
Since the era of ICO's there is so many blockchain projects that call themselves some revolutionized project which aim to solve a problem using blockchain. But by looking at some of them blockchain is clearly not the way to implement the solution. People seems to do it since ICO's are easy money now a days.

Is the ICO's are killing the blockchain and Satoshi's dream? You can read more in this Quora thread.
https://www.quora.com/Is-Blockchain-overrated

What do you think
Yes, blockchain is indeed VERY overrated as of right now.

The hype around it right now is so big that everyone wants to profit from it. Institutional, but also scammy startups.

You currently have ICO's for the weirdest things, My guess is that out of 100 ICO's right now, 50 are an outright scam, and many more are just as useless.

You can simply scroll through something like Coinschedule and see these kinds of ICO's, https://www.coinschedule.com/ico/greenx#event3059 What exactly is the usecase for this ICO?

GreenX Network is a blockchain ecosystem that enables individual and institutional investors to discover and invest in lucrative, low-risk renewable energy projects around the world.

So what is the blockchain for? It seems to me that this is just an index fund for renewable energy projects/companies, with a layer/blockchain flavour attached to it.
(Good luck ever making profit off that ICO, btw..!)
1538  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How bad (or good) my privacy is if I run a SPV wallet? on: July 03, 2018, 05:54:17 PM
Obviously, if I run a full node, I can query the copy of the public ledger locally, and my privacy is very strong. Nobody but myself is able to see what addresses I'm interested in.

On the other end of the spectrum, if I let some centralized system (web wallet) hold my keys, then obviously I have given up my privacy.

But what about if I run a SPV client (wallet)? Then the client has to rely on other full nodes in the system to query for addresses. And let's suppose that the nearby nodes are honest and that I'm not concerned with security. But what about privacy? Can it potentially be compromised by say some third party intercepting my queries and collecting a list of my addresses?

In particular, Electrum, as far as I know, is SPV wallet. How strong my privacy is with Electrum?


I've looked into this myself a little bit but i wasn't really able to find anything, I primarily rely on the answers of these users,

Electrum works differently from a lot of other SPV clients. With Electrum, users are required to connect to Electrum servers. The way blockchain.info track the IP transactions is to see who relayed the transaction to them first. If you're using Electrum, the only possible IP address you would see there is the server's. This does not mean that your privacy is preserved; Electrum servers can see all the addresses in your wallet.



neither!
bitcoin transactions do not contain any IP information and blocks in the blockchain contains these transactions. in other words no IP address is recorded.
if by any chance you mean blockchain.info website then the IP address they list is different, it is the IP address of the node that sent them the transaction first. it may be the Electrum node or it may be another node that is just relaying that tx.

regarding privacy and Electrum the only thing that happens is that when you connect to an Electrum node you are asking them for your transaction history so you give them all your addresses which means that node sees all your bitcoin addresses and can connect them together and also record your IP address and associate these two together. whether they do it or not is another discussion.
in other words there are two things here: they see list of all your bitcoin addresses and link them together even if they are not connected + your IP address. you can hide your IP but you can't hide your address list.

As stated above, i'm not sure if this is actually the case, but i'd be slightly worried if it is, since that would imply that there (potentially) really is no such thing as *privacy* while using electrum without a proxy.

It's weird how there's nothing available on this topic, especially if what pooya87 is saying is true. (Think about the information a single node could possibly gather about it's users right?)
1539  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Wallet troubleshooting help on: July 03, 2018, 01:23:11 PM
Hi 3rd Space, nope, my private key begins with 5.  After entering my private key into bitaddress.org, it gave me 4 different private keys (all of which I photographed for my record).

So I am making progress with this but now at Electrum, it will not accept my private key. At Electrum, I have it set-up to Send my coin into my Ledger, but now the issue is Electrum does not give me the button to send anything.

Talk about confusing. Huh Cool  It must be something to do with using the incorrect private key (since I have 4 private keys, which one do I use?). Also I need instructions for entering my private key into Electrum.. Do I use the "sweep" function?

So you already "loaded" the wallet with the correct balance? -- Is your balance visible in your wallet itself yet? This to me sounds like you made a watch-only wallet, correct?

Can't you try importing all 4 of the keys in Electrum? One of them is bound to have some balance that way, depending from which script the adress is derived, right?

In 2011, the price of Bitcoin on the Mt. Gox exchange dropped to a record low of one cent due to a security breach. Then a sum of Bitcoins equalling more than $8,750,000 was transferred to the hackers’ accounts. The company continued operating, but due to suspect trading in 2014, the company eventually closed its website, all of its services and applied in court for bankruptcy protection. Mt.
