If you are able to have it output the text for the main table in bbcode, then that would definitely be of great use. It would ease the process of inputting the information, and what's more is that it would be flexible enough that you could reformat it to any table in bbcode.

it shouldn't be hard to do, i like a challenge let me see what i can do about it. i will report (success or failure) here after i done it.

but this code (screenshot that i included in my previous comment) is mostly for helping you choose a campaign by sorting them and removing them by things like checking a checkBox or selecting your rank or type of payment from the ListBox,... and finding the best thing for you Smiley

is anybody interested in this code that i have made to sort through signature campaigns and find the most suitable one for you?



some more info:
- i will only release the code you will have to compile it.
- it is written in c#
- it may have some bugs since i am not an expert
- i am looking for feedback about my code if you are familiar with programming or c# and i do lots of these small fun projects of my own that i can release, many of them handy!
- you will only need this file in XML format to update the App which you can edit/update inside the GUI:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

since this was not yet redeemed i worked on some new theories that i share here Cheesy

the following are the hex codes of the colors and addition of the background color with the image color:
index|backgroud color|image color|blend
0|b5dec9|ee437d|d291a3
1|d2e9d5|463562|8c8F9c
2|0d2630|9ad6dc|547e86
5|9ad6dc|0d242e|547D85
8|eb407c|f38b94|EF6688

it may be totally random but it also may give someone some cool idea!

i will update the Gist soon after this post.

finally found that game for index 42:

30 can also be picture of a long whistle

The screenshot shows you're connected to us5.einfachmalnettsein.de port 50002 via SSL, when i try this server/port i simple cannot connect...
I'm currently connected to ELECTRUM.jdubya.info port 50002 using SSL and it works perfectly

lol, i don't even see it today anymore there is a "us1.einfachmalnettsein.de" though and it connects.
anyways as i said below the screenshot, i tested many other servers, and electrum automatically checks different servers if the checkbox is selected anyways... nothing worked.

Quote
This being said, i'm not an expert, but i assume you already checked the diskspace, restarted, doublechecked the version, tryd with an admin-account,... ?

yes, yes, yes, and yes to all Cheesy

and just to emphasize on it the blockchain headers that i have got is this file which is downloaded from Electrum.org website here but then it should check for update from Electrum servers which it does not.

###or at least this is my understanding from the code Cheesy
985  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: blockchain headers stopped at 400043, no longer downloading on: August 25, 2016, 01:09:55 PM
i still have this problem and i still can't figure out why this is happening.
going through the history i believe i did not have this problem with the old version of Electrum that i had and it was before this commit

i am not an expert in coding and i am less useful in python but i believe that there may be a bug in checking the blockchain height and i cannot figure out how it is done after this change.
before it was here but i cannot find it in the network.py after the change.

I'm only asking since I made this mistake.  Did you test your program with a valid private key in WIF?

lol, imagine if my code was wrong all this time, i have ran the code for almost 70-100 million (each time 11 mil-5mil) Cheesy

but no i doubled checked it now and it was ok.
i went through This to create my code and after busting my ass to get it to work i found this written in c# with a nice NuGet package

i tested with the private key on wiki page and a couple from directory[dot]io and today i made a new Electrum wallet to double check it with compressed private keys too. all successful.
988  Other / Archival / Re: BTC puzzle! 0.5 BTC on: August 21, 2016, 08:59:39 AM
i think i have worked more on my code and the interface than i have ever worked on the puzzle itself Cool

#master of xaml

but to be fair, i learned a lot in the process about base58 and also conversion to hex, also about multiplying TimeSpan so i am happy.

you guys were a buzz kill when first I visited your site, when I saw 0.1BTC for being able to chat I moved on and using yobit ever since.
just sharing my experience that's all.

if you are looking for chatting, then join a chat group, an exchange site is not the place to chat which to be honest is 90% troll spam and bag-holders trying to hype up their bags.

besides you are comparing YOBIT (an exchanger that nobody likes, with the worst support in the history, not to mention the number of open scam accusations against them) with C-cex (with a nice support and always active on the forum)

just compare these two post histories and you will realize what i mean:
YOBIT: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=406594;sa=showPosts

this header is extra
Code:
webRequest.Headers.Add("command", "returnDepositAddresses");

i have WebRequest class Cheesy

you should put the "command" and "returnDepositAddresses" in httpcontent and sign that, then add the signature to the header "sign"
i have no idea what you are doing here:
Code:
webRequest.Headers.Add("Sign", CreateSignature());
what does that function sign without having any input variable?


PHP is the closest example you can see and kind of understand when using c# IMO: http://pastebin.com/iuezwGRZ (see line 28 and 29)

let me explain about the Upper/Lower cases of my choice.
i say these colors of each picture should mean something too, and they don't look random to me (otherwise what is the point of similar colors Cheesy). so this is my key:
i choose a color and find a box that i am sure about the upper/lower state so i say the rest should be the same too for example since the box #1 is J all the same color should be Upper too.

color index : U=Upper L=Lower : reason index
0 : L : every other color has some reason to be U so i go with L on this color.
1 : U : 1
2 : U : 34
5 : U : 29&41&44
8 : U : 31

i think i will stick to this theory for now, but i may try your suggestions later too.
also the gist was updated. will run the code in the morning
992  Other / Archival / Re: BTC puzzle! 0.5 BTC on: August 18, 2016, 06:55:29 AM
thanks for the explanation.
so here is my updated code with 1,937,664 keys and nothing is right:
https://gist.github.com/Coding-Enthusiast/feeb2200b6201c94fec1bd5b704a2b67
(i will update this in the future if i find a different answer)

maybe others see what i don't see!
993  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 0.13.0 Binary Safety Warning on: August 18, 2016, 06:08:14 AM
You should securely verify the signature and hashes before running any Bitcoin Core binaries. 
So just checking the hash is insufficient?

there is a difference between checking the integrity and checking the Authenticity of a downloaded file.

checking the hashes (CheckSums) with only computing the hash using MD5, SHA or CRC will only let you verify the integrity of the downloaded file and it is vulnerable to collision attack.

that is why you should always check the signature of the file using GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard). this way you make sure of both authenticity (owner) and integrity (content) of a downloaded file.
994  Bitcoin / Electrum / [still open] blockchain headers stopped at 400043, no longer downloading on: August 17, 2016, 04:56:54 PM
just installed Electrum 2.6.4 on windows 7- 64bit
blockchain_headers was downloaded and the file size is now 30.5 MB and Electrum shows 400043 as the number of blocks downloaded.



i waited, changed servers manually, restarted Electrum but nothing works so far.
and the network circle at the bottom right is green.

is_synchronized() functions also returns true!
995  Other / Archival / Re: BTC puzzle! 0.5 BTC on: August 17, 2016, 04:00:27 PM
##Firstly, it's not a shit puzzle; it's challenging.##
there is a big difference between these two.

here is where i am at, lets work out the possibilities.

3) either P or 3
7) have no clue: 58 char
12) highly doubt it is anything other than puzzle
15) radiology or x-ray: R/X
16) i think it is August Schleicher so A but not sure
17) radar or sonar: R / S
18) have no clue: 58 char
30) E, V or C
35) it must be Z but to be sure: 58 char
36&54) can anybody explain how you convert 36 to 24 and 54 to 36 as you said before "converted from hex" i don't know hot this is done.
42) this is definitely not a balloon because of the arrow hear. now get this, i think this is a flash game that i can not remember the name but it is like this: in a 2d page you are a guy standing with your back to camera and shooting an arrow like the picture to the top and there is a big ball (circle) bouncing around when the arrow hits the ball it splits the ball to two different balls and so on until you destroy all the small balls. i hope someone can remember the name.
it is a name like ball buster, bubble breaker (all starting with b) : B
48) i go with LAMP: M (nothing else fits)

upper and lower case:
working on it.

Cannot find anything regard ciyam+electrum........ in electrum github there is open issue regards electrum+zbar

CIYAM has nothing to do with electrum project, but electrum is an open source thing and anybody can use it to modify and add other functionality.

anyways in your question you asked about linux and using QR code and i told you about that, read that topic for more information and here is the direct link to the opensuse project: https://susestudio.com/a/kp8B3G/ciyam-safe
Do you have a workable setup using linux with QR code? If so, if you can give some directions because lack of info about a working/known solution.


##
I don't think that the product CIYAM refers to exists/is released.
did you even read that topic Huh  Cheesy

For the Jet image I'm also using F14 an now I think y should have added M for Mig
##

if the plane picture is representing a Mig, or F14,... then it makes the whole puzzle a bad design (shit puzzle) because the puzzle should have only one solution and it should have enough clues so that you can find that only one solution.
here there is only a picture of a place that looks like Fighter places which are called Jets and all those other answers are types of Jets and unless there is clue pointing to the picture being F## or Mig there is no reason for choosing a non-obvious answer.

same goes for the rest.

##
 It is evident there are mistakes since he found nothing.  The whole point of this thread was to share your ideas and solutions.  So where do you think the mistakes lie?

i will share my variations in a while. but i am sure the problem is with upper/lower case.

##
how long did it actually take you to get through all those possibilities? besides that i think there are a lot of mistakes so it wont be possible to find it out

about an hour, my CPU is super old haha. honestly i am surprised that it only took an hour to go through 149 Million
mouse over the time i posted the previous comment it shows the edit time Wink
998  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: cold storage n cross plataform malware on: August 16, 2016, 04:43:36 PM
What do you think use two different kind of linux for cold n watch-only?
Would have any benefit regard malware efficiency cross plataform?
As there is no practical solutions besides using usb sticks would be nice to make it harder for malwares n keep benefiting electrum asy to use cold storage.

doubt there is any difference since all linux distros are based on the same linux kernel. and also as long as you are keeping things in cold storage there shouldn't be any problems.

when you boot from the USB you shouldn't mount anything, shouldn't have network,...

Do you have a workable setup using linux with QR code? If so, if you can give some directions because lack of info about a working/known solution.

read the topic unamis76 posted above: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1166021.0
there is a solution posted there by CIYAM, although i haven't a single clue how it works but i am looking into it!
you may want to ask the Author himself.
999  Other / Archival / Re: BTC puzzle! 0.5 BTC on: August 16, 2016, 04:12:47 PM
ok i wrote a code to check the private key but there are so many answers that i don't know or am not sure about the char to put for the picture some are 2 or 3 possibilities and a couple of them are the whole 58 char Cheesy

so i am down to 149,846,016 possible private keys Cheesy assuming the rest of answers are correct and also in correct case (upper or lower)



i will run it for a little while longer and then will give up and try to reduce the possible keys to check.

Update: all checked and nothing found lol
1000  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Weird transaction... on: August 14, 2016, 09:38:04 AM
I just sent .9 BTC to an address, and 2.5 BTC was removed from my wallet, and 1.6 was sent back to me.
Is this normal? Never saw that before.
txn: https://blockchain.info/tx-index/1d061a904ee350e5bfecb3db3567382bb5f193dac4ed58ecf605421b8af1b4ec

let me try and explain it as well as i can:

the thing you need to know about bitcoin is that bitcoin doesn't exist what exist are bitcoin addresses and record of transaction in and out (input and output) in bitcoin addresses aka public keys.

so here, what you own is This a record of your public key (bitcoin address) receiving 2.4996BTC so in order to send 0.9BTC you have to create a transaction and first announce to the network you own this and you want to transfer it or a part of it to another public key (hence output) by signing it with your private key.
