I had to (re)learn a lot about Linux, but after a similar suggestion from Kano and FireTreeActual several months ago, I took the plunge on a FREE route that started by searching for "Ubuntu Bitcoin Core".
Has anyone had luck copying the windows wallet over to the linux version? I went through the process on my centos box (likely will rebuild it do ubuntu now since it is a vps), copied everything over which took almost an hour vps to vps. When I started bitcoind, it blew everything away and created an empty wallet.. Any advice to have it go quicker? **Edit - I am using ssh and a non graphical system btw

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

Thanks for the link, I already set up the Pi its syncing the blockchain right now. I should have worded my question differently I wanted to know how the experience of running the node has been on the raspberry pi since it only has 1 GB RAM Your going to have to override some defaults and reduce memory usage. I would suggest you look at: -maxmempool (defaults to 300MB) -dbcache (defaults to 450MB) Presumably your blockchain is being stored on an external USB 2.0 disk drive, since you would eat your SDHC card alive with activity. Yes the blockchain is stored on a NAS

Any advice to have it go quicker? **Edit - I am using ssh and a non graphical system btw Hmm - well it's just a wallet.dat on both systems. As long as the old system wasn't pre 0.8.6 it should just upgrade it. As far as I know there should be no difference between the different OS storage of the wallet. Also, you could repeat copying wallet.dat from the old to the new system, if the new one runs ok, after shutting it down, deleting the new empty unused wallet.dat (as long as it is empty and unused), copy it again from the old system, and see what happens when it starts. It will probably say it has to resync the wallet which will take quite a long time. Last thing to try is to export the keys from the old wallet and import them into the new wallet. As I mentioned before, I'm not sure what they've changed between 0.14.2 and 0.16.0 but it should just work as far as I know. I do know that 0.16.0 will create a HD wallet, not the old wallet type, but I'm pretty sure Core isn't that stupid that they'd expect people to throw away their BTC in their old wallets.

How does one know or find out when it is a good time to consolidate transactions?
I've heard others say they can control their cost by having an option or something?
Currently 1 sat/byte will settle in under 1.5 hours! Has anyone been able to find out how these bytes are measured? Is it the more inputs and/or BTC that drives the size of the transaction up? inputs, has nothing to do with the actual amount of BTC 1 input of 1 BTC is the same as 1 unit of 100 BTCThanks for the info folks! But I'm still stuck on Exodus and going to have to pay high transaction fees... They have no options to pick from as far as fees. That said, when or if would be the best time to consolidate? sounds like I'm going to get it anyway right, no matter what unless transaction fees go down? Should I just hold there and wait? How often do they drop to the lower rates? I need a really easy SAFE, SECURE wallet for mining proceeds that I can set the fees with as I want to consolidate weekly or at least every couple of weeks... I have a Nano S9 but it is acting up. Nervous to do anything there...Can that be recovered if Nano S9 goes bad? Just seems flaky... Still scratching my head on what to do and when to do it...lol Mine on with KANO-SAN! You can use https://www.[Suspicious link removed]/ to import your wallet and then send it to another wallet.... for detailed steps check https://steemit.com/exodus/@haxmat/how-to-bypass-exodus-wallet-s-high-feesIf you want a desktop wallet such as Exodus try Jaxx.

There will be a KDB restart in about 40 minutes - when the next shift 'xenovia' summarisation completes. This should be around 02:30 UTC The web site will show lotsa zeros and '?' for about 10-15 minutes while the restart/reload runs. No Mining should be affected - (as long it all goes OK ) This is an update for KDB to combine all the versions of changes I've had on various computers/git branches to get it all in line going forward. Various small changes, bug fixes, asicboost and web changes have occurred while working on the payout changes, but I needed to get them all in line in my main git to simplify moving forward with more changes. This does include the incomplete payout changes but they're not active, and the old block payout (like I've just done today) is unmodified and still part of the code. Mine on!
