Hello all,

We've posted our Q4 statement of net assets along with the January newsletter to the fund reports section on Havelock.

Happy mining.

Thanks, that makes sense.

I created an offline wallet on a offline computer and imported it as a watching-only wallet onto my live computer.  In Armory it says My Wallet (watch) under the Wallet Name column and Offline under the Security column.

On this same live computer, I create a 2nd wallet which I then used armory to delete the private keys and turn it into a 'watch-only' wallet.  This one however now says 2nd Wallet (watch) under the wallet name column  (which is expected) but says 'Watching-Only' under security.  My assumption was since both are 'watch-only' wallets, that the description under security would be the same.  Does the different security type (offline vs watching only) provide different features/security levels?  Or do they have different security type simply because one originated from an offline computer as opposed to the live computer, though they are both now in watching only mode?  Thanks.

Hello, wondering if someone knows the answer to these two questions.

When I create a wallet in Armory, there are two related wallet files in the \Armory directory that get created as well
armory_walletID.wallet and
armory_walletID_backup.wallet

What's the different between these two files?

And the wallet.dat file in the \bitcoin director does not contain any information regarding the wallets created via Armory, correct?

Thanks

I'd check your spam/junk folder for this email account.  Sometimes registration/password reset emails end up in there.

Hello HMF unitholders,

We were able to take advantage of the sale at BFL last week and we've added 5 BFL Singles (250 GH/s total) to the HMF fund.  They were received today are now up and running, bringing our total hashing power to 3 TH/s.

Happy Mining,
HMF

Also found the offline wallet tutorial link isn't valid anymore.  Pretty sure it was up last week.

Found this, not sure if it helps your particular case.

What is a "Change Address", and why is it useful?
The concept of change addresses is a feature not of the Bitcoin protocol, but of a Bitcoin client. It is implemented not only in Electrum but in most Bitcoin clients, including the original "Satoshi" Bitcoin client.
How it works:
Whenever your Bitcoin client (e.g. Electrum) sends Bitcoins from your wallet's address "A" to a foreing address "B", a new change address "C" is created by Electrum and added to your wallet.
Example: Address "A" has 20 BTC. Electrum sends 9 BTC from "A" to "B". The change (20-9 = 11 BTC) is sent to the "change address" "C". For this purpose, address "C" is created by Electrum at this moment and added to your wallet.
Exception: If all the Bitcoins of "A" are sent to "B", there is no need for creating a change address "C".
Actually, Bitcoin clients can also work without change addresses. In this case, the change would be sent back to "A" instead of the new address "C".

Why the concept of "change addresses" is useful:
Using a new change address makes it more difficult for other people (by analyzing the blockchain) to track how many Bitcoins you have or where you're spending them.
It also conceals which output is the "spend" and which is the "change".

Hello all,

We've posted our first newsletter under fund reports:

https://www.havelockinvestments.com/reports.php

This will detail the fund's operation and pertinent news (including estimated dividends for the month).  We'll be releasing one during the 3rd week of each month.

Thanks,
HMF (formerly HIM)

Buy low sell high! I like it.

A currency tripling in a month isn't a real currency.  To actually be used in commerce the price needs to be relatively stable (whatever the price ends up at).
