Thanks Danny, That is actually a pretty good way to explain LN from a high level view. So basically most wallets already summarize the inputs? Does that incur a fee of some sorts? If I summarize 1,2,3,4 into 8 by myself how does the network know my 8 = 1,2,3,4 and it is valid? I assume that is doing something similar to a multisig address to join inputs and outputs? (I must apologize here I cannot write an essay on multisig yet, and only have a very vague understanding so far. I am still working to understand bitcoin under the hood well ) If this is like a multisig you can just say so an I will google on from there. The inputs should surely be announced to the network and say "this is the new input that summarizes them" and it needs to be recorded somewhere and agreed upon? Since this will be a hash of sorts I expect there is no way to know that these 4 inputs = the new input. If you guys can shed some light around that I would appreciate. Sorry for asking such questions, I know these actually warrant very long answers. Unfortunately getting answers around things like this on google is difficult, you just find irrelevant results on "when moon" or information that even I know is wrong. Nobody is interested in understanding the protocol  Thanks again for taking the time to explain to newbie old me. I promise to pass on the knowledge imparted onto me by you and educate my fellow bitcoiners. I believe that is called " Consolidating", and that would indeed need confirmation by the network ( meaning that you'd need to broadcast a transaction with all the inputs you want to merge into the new one.) I don't think most wallets do this by default, (They rather list all the individual UTXO you have) but it shouldn't be too hard to do so manually. It's more deeply explained here. |

I read somewhere that soon is coming a Telegram token and that Theymos whats to have a huge part of the distribution of the tokens that's why he introduced the merit system now, so he and his alts to be able to participate in all the bounties and all the poor peasants will be left aside.
You mean an altcoin distributed based on the amount of merit you received in this forum? What you are saying isn't really making sense. Also, do you really think theymos has time to participate in minimum-wage paying bounties with one account, let alone his "Alts"? His bitcoin adress, 1NXYoJ5xU91Jp83XfVMHwwTUyZFK64BoAD has received over 4 million. I doubt it would be worth his time to go around and do twitter bounties. |

My laptop has a new hard disk. Before that i had my Electrum software downloaded. After i download a new Electrum, how do i retrieve my past account and balance?
Either you need to have saved ALL your private keys ( which would be a good option if you only used 1 adress / no change adresses), or use a seed as the user mentioned above. Or, you could see if you saved your (potentially) encrypted wallet file on your old disk ( Appdata > Roaming > Electrum > Wallets (if you're using windows)), import it in your new wallet and unlock it with the password you once used/set. |

Your intelligence is average, you wisdom non-existent.
You are smart enough to understand that what I say is common sense. That puts you above the many users that are exchanging merit with alts in plain sight.
You donīt understand the point of this post. That puts you below the many other that see it as an advice to the previously mentioned ones.
Please, notice that English in English is written with an starting capital letter. if you are going to criticise my style, I urge you to improve your writing to avoid looking stupid.
Thanks for the correction, although you don't really seem to grasp what i was actually saying. I obilized your position of being a merit source, due to your level of english. You can, *ofcourse*, question my level of English, but i am not here claiming to be a merit source. That's you. The forum ( or administrators of the forum) take weeks to make someone like LoyceV a source ( although i'm still not sure if he is one), but they just accepted you out of the blue? Sorry, but your story doesn't add up. you wisdom non-existent. with an starting capital letter if you are going to criticise my style,  Again, how can you ever distinguish a constructive post when you don't know the difference between A and AN? (And before you tell me that you've been appointed to be a merit source for local boards, i'd remind you to take a closer look at the first replies you did in this topic. Surely you would've told us?) |

Which could be confirmed by miners and added in a block? Why haven't we seen something like this before then? Or would most miners/nodes still see them as invalid/unknown as the current nonsegwit nodes see the segwit transaction structures?
No, different address types are not necessarily invalid or unknown. If you use a new address type that just specifies some other script template, said script template is perfectly valid on the network. However it is not considered one of the standard script templates so most nodes would reject it. Most block explorers would not know what the address type is and would just show some error or garbage because they don't know how to interpret the script template into something that is human recognizable. But there certainly have been non-standard scripts being used as outputs of a transaction. Whether they are part of some new address type that someone created is unknown, but possible. So this would also mean that the checksum (Base58Check) to see if an adress is valid is something that is not implemented by the protocol, but rather by wallets/nodes themselves, (for user convenience etc..) correct? If i were to broadcast a transaction without the checksum with my own node & a different adress format, how likely would it be that it will get accepted by a miner? |

Hello, I created a Bitcoin Core wallet on my PC a few weeks ago. Yesterday I created a new partition on my hard drive and accidentally erased the entire blockchain along with my wallet.dat file. Fortunately, I had put a copy of my wallet.dat on a thumb drive. So, today I started redownloading the blockchain and I imported my wallet.dat. I see the transaction history, but currently my Available, Pending, and Total balances are 0.00000000 BTC.
question1: Will my balances automatically update after the blockchain finishes downloading?
question2: Is there a way to create a mnemonic recovery phrase for my wallet.dat file? After this scare, I'd like to back up my funds in as many ways as possible. If someone cares explain to me how I can do this, or why I cannot, that would be much appreciated.
thanks for helpin a noobie.
If the private keys that had balance (UTXO's) are in the wallet.dat, yes. You probably haven't caught up yet to the block in which the transaction was made to your adress, hence why there is no balance yet. I'd indeed recommend you to wait untill the blockchain has been fully synced. question2: Is there a way to create a mnemonic recovery phrase for my wallet.dat file? After this scare, I'd like to back up my funds in as many ways as possible. If someone cares explain to me how I can do this, or why I cannot, that would be much appreciated. The closest you can get to a seed is using a hierarchical deterministic wallet, and save your master private key ( which i believe can be imported to any BIP32 compatible wallet, or derivator which can be found online, something like this, https://github.com/prusnak/bip32utils ( ! Use at own risk !) |

The focus of my question is:
If some developers created a new version of the Bitcoin addresses and havent been accepted by the most of community, is it possible to appear hidden to all/ most block explorers "like Bech32 with blockchain.info"?
Yes. Ahhhh ok... well, you can't just create a new version of Bitcoin addresses... doing so would require a fork... and given the total shit show that was the SegWit soft-fork, good luck getting ANOTHER fork accepted  No. Addresses do not actually exist on the network. They are just an encoding for some data that is human readable and easily transferable. Anyone can create a new encoding scheme, call it a new address type, and use it with software that supports that address. It still just encodes data and the wallet software will need to interpret it in order to use the address properly. What would cause a fork is if that new address specified that the encoded data be used for something that currently cannot be done on the network. But you can just create a new address type that specifies some other script template that you want to use that isn't segwit, p2pkh, or p2sh. Which could be confirmed by miners and added in a block? Why haven't we seen something like this before then by someone who would experiment with it? Or would most miners/nodes still see them as invalid/unknown as the current nonsegwit nodes see the segwit transaction structures, and thus never get in a block?? |

Seriously is wrong with you. Your post is so retarded I wanna tell you to take some English class as well as some reading comprehension, analytical, reasoning and critical thinking skills.
That's ironic, you can't even compose grammarly correct sentences yourself, yet this is your counterargument to me? ""Seriously is wrong with you"" sounds like something a toddler would say. I can not say for sure, personally I'd rather bitcoin succeed as dominant but the way it is now with super high fees, and other problems, not sure. And it is not jus I am saying many people is concerned about it. I can not say which one will prevail over Bitcoin and/or which technology will prevail, there is no single person that can analyze 1000+ coin's whitepaper make a judgement, so only time will tell. I myself usually interested in gpu mining and managed to go over few dozen coins only, but the way I see now there are several altcoins that are looking better than bitcoin.
Lies, lies and lies. super high fees 1-5/sat per byte gets your transaction confirmed within an hour currently. https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,24h Which means you can transfer 1000$+ for less then a dollar. This one just got confirmed, with only 0.22$ in fees. https://blockchain.info/tx/d09284762b642d8ceda7d5e12304316d6299362139220b1ed7d81ab023f0424b ( And this transaction wasn't even P2SH-P2WPKH) |

Just out of curiosity, where do you browse for quality posts, I mean sections, the most?
b) You can possibly fool me but you canīt "hack me". I am not an algorithm, there is no recurrent method you can use to get merit from me other that relevant and quality posting, including helping others significantly or making intelligent questions. As human, I am good at detecting patterns. O_o .. You probably didn't got my point here. There are some undervalued sections like the mining and pools and to get Merit points there is almost impossible. Ok, noted. Why would you make an alt account just to describe your feelings about you being a merit source? I really don't get what you are trying to hide here. Also everything that you wrote down is common sense, nothing about it seems controversial..? Also, let's take a look at some sentences you wrote down, As human ^ (A) so not only I donīt want to sell merit nor use merit to my own benefit, I am not free to do so.  What do you think that would happen if I find that you are trading merit with other users in low quality posts... You're just making me laugh at this point. If you are really a merit source, everyone should be one. your level of english is equivalent to that of a 6th grader. How can you possibly determine if something is a quality post or not when you can't write normal sentences yourself? |

Hi,
Can someone please tell me how the hell can i remove the email icon from the side profile info?
I checked the box that says "Hide email address from public?" from the "Account Related Settings" option on my profile.
Thanks.
Looks like it is removed. I only see the "See profile", "See website", "Pm User" buttons. For some reason you will still see it as if it's still visible, when in reality it isn't. I've also hid my email, but when i go to my profile when logged in, it still shows my email adress + button in the sidebar. When i look at your profile it also states that your email is "hidden" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1509064. So i'm guessing you already fixed it yourself. |

Look at some of the advice and opinion you have received on this:
It's an Open Source project. Go ahead and make it better!
If you're not going to make it better, then it is YOUR FAULT that the quality is so bad.
Throwing completely substancesless insults at quality work in order to fool people who couldn't tell for themselves into thinking that you're brilliant seems to be a favorite pastime for folks who feel insecure about their lack of competence adequate enough to accomplish anything themselves.
If you are really a coder, you would get the thing about "Standing on the shoulders of giants". If your work ethic was anywhere near that of the people who have made bitcoin code, network and social phenomena possible, we would be getting valid suggestions and feedback. Maybe some real work too. But instead you take it upon yourself to become the hypothetical CEO of a hypothetical Bitcoin LLC, completely ignoring the whole decentralization criterion. This is the best you could come up with:
I don;t know, I haven't been involved. But on the other hand, do you think ASIC friendly is a good thing (mining centralized)?
If I were a CEO of a Bitcoin LLC or Bitcoin Inc., I will do definitely strip out SHA-256 and plug-in GPU friendly algo. Not only that I will start it in a blink of an eye and possibly re-architect so any algorithm can be a "plug-n-play"-ed.
- "I don't know"
- "I haven't been involved"
- "But Yo, I could totally be THE CEO"...LOL
You Sir, are a lot of hot air and no substance. And from post history, it seems you have been that way for a lot of years. What a waste of time and potential!! so saying that, u must be a better than me, perhaps must be a one of those giant lololol  , when critisizing me, u completely forgot about how big of an loser u re urself, game of critisism is ths tough dude, at least i my critisizm did not directed to you but you ended up being critisizing me for nothing, for that i can only say one thing in reply, fok yo and get the fok out of hyoooo... You just stated 3 blantant lies and got called out for it, yet you continue to keep trolling or? If I were a CEO of a Bitcoin LLC or Bitcoin Inc. That's the thing. It's open source and decentralized. There's no such thing as a "CEO" who controls how bitcoin works. There's consensus that determines the changes. do you think ASIC friendly is a good thing (mining centralized) Asics have nothing to do whether or not the mining is centralized. Sure, it might make the process of mining harder, ( meaning that only big companies will do it, but anyone can buy an asic and operate/mine for themselves. No one is stopping you. (+ There's not 1 company having 51% control right now. ( and there probably won't be.) |

Guys my campaign pays me with tokens...Can anyone please tell how to spend those tokens or how to convert those tokens into bitcoins or money.
Thank you for your help
Asap
Has your token been released yet? If so, look it up, and see where it is being traded. I believe your signature is for "NEURO", right? The only exchange it is currently being traded on is https://www.coinexchange.io/market/NRO/BTC //https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/neuro/#markets |

If you mean signature campaign, then you should check out the service section, there are reputable signature managers who might fit into what you want. If possible post there and they will make themselves available to you. You should check out manager Yahoo62278; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1704638.0 He is known to have run quite a number of successful signature. Yes, but he is not the guy who makes the BBcode for signatures. He simply manages the campaigns, but doesn't create them. You will need someone like this for that, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2388735.0 or alternatively https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2363907.0Note that i just found these guys in the services section. I have no clue how good they are/if they will deliver so take care. |

If anyone looking into starting a cryptocurrency exchange. I have some exchange software already built and tested, good to start with.
Support both fiat and coins.
Send me a PM!
I hope it will help you!
Will PM you in a minute. I am interested in this. How much would it cost me for you to set it up on a VPS i provide to you? I'm looking for a script that can add really unpopular altcoins aswell, or simply ones i mined myself ( or ERC20 tokens created by me.) would that be possible? As other users have mentioned, i'd love to see a demo link. |

Please help
I have an account on cryptopia in bitcoin and I want to withdraw to Cobinhood to dragonchain bitcoin.
I take the deposit address in bitcoin dragonchain to withdraw address in Cryptoia bitcoin .
It keeps saying invalid address . Please help
What are the exact steps
Thank you
I have a hard time trying to understand what you are saying, but it looks to me that you are trying to withdraw BITCOIN from Cryptopia to a DRAGONCHAIN deposit adress on cobinhood? You need to use the bitcoin deposit adress on cobinhood as the withdraw adress on cryptopia and then manually transfer the BTC to dragonchain on the site itself. |

It hasn't been removed. I can still see the post just fine. If mods would've removed it, it would state something such as 'DELETED' whereas otherwise your username would be. Maybe because your post has been downvoted so much ( 33% upvotes = 66% downvotes = less then 0 upvotes) it doesn't get indexed by reddit. Not entirely sure how that works. Just like how comments with negative karma aren't automatically shown. |

Hi,
Do you know any platform where you can buy tokens directly with credit card?
I have friends who find the process of buying eth and from there token complicated, any suggestions?
Yes. there's a site called "Coinschedule", https://www.coinschedule.com/ Simply click on an ICO, and you see which currencies they accept, ( BTC, ETH,) but occasionally you will also see "Wire transfer" This one for example, https://www.coinschedule.com/icos/e2189/joy-token-pre-sale.htmlThere's not that many though. |

I think this would be a nice idea. Thanks isn't the same as merit or activity, it's more of a personal message to the poster.
It isn't worth putting much effort into adding it to the forum, but if it is easy, then I think it would be a useful addition.
I'm with Jet Cash, this is a good idea for me since giving thanks will also reduce people who shit post like " Thankyou for.." and also giving genuine thanks will also make people happy and appreciated and they will continue to strive hard. The OP stated that "thanks" button will not be same as merit since it will not be a rank requirement i think this would be just work as Token of Appreciation. +1 to this suggestion if this is not that hard to implement to the forum. You are pretty delusional if you think a "Thanks" button will stop those users from posting "Thank you". They'll just continue to do so anyway because they need the activity/posts for their signature campaign. Is there a possibility to add THANKS BUTTON ?
Instead of replying with Thank you, all we need to do is to click that button and we can maximize the essence of our post/activity.
In merit system only member upto higher rank are able to give it but in thanks system all ranks are allowed to give it and the counter for this doesn't matter for our ranking unlike merit.
-1. I think merit is mostly already used this way -- as an expression of gratitude when solving a technical issue for example. Adding another button for essentially the same function but with no real purpose would just clutter up the forum and confuse people. I strongly disagree with you on this, merit has nothing to do with "thanks". Merit are not designed to say thanks or anything like that, they are to distinguish the quality posters and to appreciate good posts by rewarding them because merit can effect the reputation of members on forum. I don't see how one thing can't correlate with the other. A post can both be the answer to a question and of high quality. If a post like that is rewarded i'd say it is both as a "thank you" for answering the question, and doing so in a constructive matter. Check out https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=4.0

This is the current stats of our forum right now.
30million posts? The implementation of thanks system will also lessen the data consumption into the server that might be cause of slowing down due to surging of new post.
I've seen this features on different forum that I've joined too and it works perfectly. Thanks system also represents on how a member being consistently helping and guiding our fellow members even without any rewards in return.
I don't think you can compare any forum to bitcointalk. The incentive for most user to be here is ( unfortunately ), to make money through signature campaigns. Not to share knowledge or have a good time. Hence all the spam. |

Since 2 months ago I can't access my account because the email with the verification link has 72h delay minimum.
I tried to transfer the founds to another blockchain.info account but only btc coins comes. ETH or BCH doesn't appear in the new account created after transfering founds from my old account (the one I can't access) to the new one.
No answer from them, no tickets answered. 4 weeks.
I had in the past also problems while buying btc with credit card. Some were automaticaly transferred to another account.
Their answer was "ohh we are so sorry, looks like you got phished". WTF! In their website I bought 300$ I got 200$ and I got phished!!??
I just want to access my account to completely empty all my coins from their hands and finish any relation with them.
Looks like you might got hacked. They have no control over your funds, and also not whether or not you are able to transfer them. Have you made any transactions of which you have the ID from? If you still have your blockchain.info seed you can try to convert it to BIP39 and import it into electrum, and your funds should be there. although i'm not quite sure how this would work with your ETH wallet. |
