I am also getting this red alert of "Currency operations not available" when trying to move 1 ETH from the Trading Account to the Main Account so that I can do a Withdraw... I have just started using HitBTC, but this is frustrating... it seems that waiting is the only answer. I will try tomorrow again.
Re: [ANN] dstm's ZCash / Equihash Nvidia Miner v0.5.7 (Linux / Windows)
Have anyone tested dstm's miner ver.0.5.7 with GTX 1060 3G? Also, please share your setting?
I could not purchase more P106-100, but there're some MSI GTX 1060 3G are available, so I'm still considering.
Thanks!

Yes, I am running 5 EVGA GTX 1060 3G SC, and since Energy Cost is not a factor for me I am running using Afterburn (yes, the software for MSI cards because the EVGA software would not work with more than 4 GPUs) so that my limit is 90°C, and no overclock (the gain is minimal vs crash frequency).
In summary/average they are running at 293 Sol/s, at 87°C, with 120 W consumption.
Since I bought them for US$200, I think it is a great value.
Finally, as stated above, I have not seen an increase in the last 2-3 versions in hash rate.
Hope this helps.
I have downloaded the official Bitcoin Gold Core Client, and it is running fine...
where you download it?
From the offiical website, it just went live:
https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/
I have downloaded the official Bitcoin Gold Core Client, and it is running fine... and I am just not able to connect to anyone in the network. Any guidance for me? I have port 8338 open... do I have to boostrap to the Bitcoin Core Client?
OK, I found above the answer. Add a specific IP node via the command:
addnode "78.193.221.106" "add"
Issue resolved, now I am synching with that node, and found a second one (maybe via the same first one?).

Ya we all just watch and wait now 
And at least this site is informing us of the situation. Very Professional.
Trying to mine via the instruction at

I assume that is because mining is still not active, right?
Also, is there now a "Core" full node software to use, or still only Android/iOS wallets?

Hi all,
I store my btc on blockchain(blockchain.info),but I wrote my private keys down in paper,both WIF and Base58 format.Is it safe during 1 Aug spilt?Thanks for reply!

Yes, they are. However, I would recommend you trying the private key on Electrum Wallet by importing them, and see that you get both your Bitcoin address and your BTC... just in case you got them wrong.
Remember: since wallets only hold public/private keys, not actual BTC you can have the same Bitcoin address on many wallets.
In my case, I have one specific BTC address in Blockchain.info wallet because I just love its feature that sends me an email whenever I get a payment on it, and that way it is easier for me to monitor payments.. and this same BTC address is in my laptop Electrum Wallet and on my full node Wallet at my office server. Note that I use Electrum because I do not have 140 GB of "free" space on my laptop, nor time to wait for full blockchain to download when need a quick transaction from there.
My Bitcoin Core wallet 0.14.2 received today a message:
Warning: Unknown block versions being mined! It's possible unknown rules are in effect
Should I be worried about this?
Warning: Unknown block versions being mined! It's possible unknown rules are in effect
Should I be worried about this?
No, you can ignore that in this case. It's caused by BIP91 signalling.
Can you please elaborate? It feels so weird to see in Bitcoin Core:
Warning: Unknown block versions being mined! It's possible unknown rules are in effect
Why would miners be "signalling BIP91"?
I have the private keys for multibit HD. Will that work out for me well?
Probably not. MultiBit HD does not allow you to choose which nodes you are connected to so you won't be able to choose which chain you want to use and transact on. It does not provide the (slightly) advanced functionality required to split your coins either.So electrum is a better choice and gives me all the options I need. correct?
To give a quick answer, yes, for me Electrum is the best choice and gives you all the options needed.
Even better, that is the only "non-node" wallet that I have heard has posted in their website how to proceed in case of a hard fork.
Check it out:
http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/hardfork.html
I'm using a mining service that supports Segwit.
For the moment, that mining service sends me BTC each mouth on my "1example123" Bitcoin Core Wallet.
Let's say the fork happens and at the moment of the fork I have 0.5 BTC on my "1example123" Bitcoin Core Wallet.
Until I make a decision, I can have :
*0.5 BTC on my "1example123" Bitcoin Core Wallet
or
*0.5 BTC on my "1example123" Bitcoin SegWit Wallet
That mining service will start sending SegWit BTC after the 1st of August on my "1example123" address.
Lets say they send me, in August, 0.1 SegWit BTC.
Until I make a decision, I can :
*End up with 0.5 BTC on my "1example123" Bitcoin Core Wallet + 0.1 BTC on my "1example123" Bitcoin SegWit Wallet
or
*End up with 0.6 BTC on my "1example123" Bitcoin SegWit Wallet
Do I understand it right ?

Do I understand it right ?
Hopefully someone will give an answer to this... because from what I understand, either all nodes went to be SegWit, or the SegWit nodes are connected to the network, but their SegWit functions still not activated and still work as a "normal" node... or it seems even more feasible that the SegWit nodes can be compatible with the "normal" nodes being compatible but among SegWit nodes you take that advantage of their P2SH-P2WPKH?
Still so much to understand...
So, your theory says: Now all bitcoin are worth 35bill dollars, if all people hold bitcoin and wait BTU then will double his money. So from where do you think that will be founded new 35 bill. for that? Do you really thinking about this?
Well, just like you cannot "duplicate" a car, but you can duplicate the CAD drawings for the car, the 35 dollar bill fiat example would mean a duplication of the actual bill.
This is the block chain, right? No actual bills. So, as soon as BTU forks, if I had $35 in BTC, then I will also have $35 BTU because now TWO blocks exist in this Universe. And the forking means that transactions will now be in different block chains.
I assume someone already realized this, and there might be a "security" feature, like for example, BTU will inspect BTC transactions? But if you have a new BTU address... will it track all the way to when it was BTC, to check then BTC transactions from the fork day to today? That seems almost impossible even with a ExaHash speed network that we have now for BTC.
By the way... I just had to research... what if I just cut in the middle a $100 bill, take one to one half to one bank and the other half to another bank? Well, it turns out you there is a centralized office that handles this, not the bank directly, and an accountant friend just shared that it seems that you must have at least 51% of the bill serial number, so that only THAT part of the bill will be replaced. If anyone turns with the other 49% it will be denied... interesting, right?

Not sure about that feature, but what I do with Blockchain and with GreenAddress is that I add a new BTC Address by importing a private key, and then sweep all the BTC to that address that I have the private key.
So, step 1 is that I go to:
https://bitaddress.org/
And I generate a new BTC pair of public and private address
(You can also do this via Bitcoin Core or Electrum that are my favorites)
Step 2, you add the BTC address to Blockchain or GreenAddress via its private key.
See here:
https://greenaddress.it/en/faq.html
Can I migrate from another wallet like blockchain.info? Can I sweep private keys into my wallet?
Yes. From the Receive Money tab in our wallet applications, enter your private key and the coins will be swept into your wallet.
I could not find a link for Blochain, but you go to Settings->Addresses -> + Import Address
Now this new address is in the Blockchain / Green Address Wallet.
Note that Step 2 is actually optional. You could just send the money to the new address, and since you have the private key, just go to step 3.
Step 3, Sweep all the BTC from all the other Addresses to this new one.
Step 4, and THE MOST IMPORTANT for me: Import the same address to Bitcoin Core or Electrum, and make sure to then send all the money to a NEW BTC ADDRESS! Since you already gave the first Private Key to Blockchain or GreenAddress... for me it is no longer 100% sure in case they "log" something. And in general... I know we want to have this BTC Address that will last "forever"... but it is a very good practice to generate a new BTC address now and then, and sweep all and just forget forever the old ones, just in case they are compromised.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for your kindly explanation.
I tried it and it helped me very much.
But still there are two issues.
I generated new address on bitaddress.org, then I entered my private key into my wallet. I expected to see that address which was shown on bitaddress, on my greenaddress wallet too. But that not happened. If I give that address to somebody How will I receive bitcoins while that address does not exist in my wallet?
Another issue is that I am afraid that bitaddress store the generated address and private key.

Well bitaddress.org runs in javascript, that means nothing is sent to their web server. The easiest way to "ease" your mind, is that you can download a ZIP with the HTML and the Javascripts and run it DIRECTLY from your Desktop. Since it is NOT sending anything to the server, you do NOT need a webserver, just open the HTML file in your browser and it works "like magic". Also you can get into the JavaScripts and see how it works!
In case you miss it, it is a link in the bottom left side of the screen, and here I copy it for you:
https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/archive/v3.3.0.zip
Moving to Greenaddress, I checked, and indeed they only have in the Receive tab, Advance Options the following option:
Private key in WIF or BIP38 format to Sweep... so yes, it will NOT be added to your Account. Sorry about that, there are so many systems and wallets it is impossible to remember them all.
However, if you still want to use a Web based Wallet, then you can use Blockchain:
https://blockchain.info/
I also checked, and they WILL add the Public address so that you can use it any time.
Now, if you have not tried Electrum, I highly recommend that... not trying to do free publicity, but it has all the convenience of a Web Client (e.g. no block chain to download) but almost all the Bitcoin Core functions... mainly that you can add your bitcoin addresses back via their private key. You should try it:
https://electrum.org/
Just to be clear... your wallet DOES NOT have any Bitcoins! You own a Bitcoin address formed by the public and private keys, and a wallet can have 100+ of them. Public (or Bitcoin Address) is what you give anyone to get BTC. However, only if you have the Private Key you can then "reimport" the address back to a wallet to access your BTCs. That is the bottom line in here, that anyone that does not have the private key of their BTC address might not be able to recover any BTC or BTU or whatever the fork will end up using.
The private keys are derived from the passphrase of 12 words
My mnemonics on greenaddress contain 24 words !!!!! Is anything wrong?
How can I know my private keys?
If I know my private keys I gain access to my bitcoins outside greenaddress too. Am I right?
Can anyone explain it to me?
Regards.

I don't understand why are people dumping over BTC while they can have them invested in alts???
Even putting in alts wouldn't settle anything for us??? Putting alts on exchanges will also be dangerous???
What will be the future of BTC after this??? Is it going to die on one side after a majority of another side wins and is it really going to be on two blockchains??? If yes, then on which blockchain will our "present" bitcoins be put???

Well, this has happened to other cryptocurrencies alright, for example Ethereum (ETH) and Ethereum Classic (ETC), and they are running in parallel just fine.
Regarding which blockchain, that is one of the GOOD things about a Fork if both get supported as mainstream. If you had 3 BTC, then after the fork you would have 3 BTC and 3 "BTU" (Assuming that is the name of the new fork)... because in that EXACT block that the fork happened you had 3, and now there would be two blockchains running separately. So, yes you just doubled your money... in theory!
Why? Because if the "BTU" currency is not accepted by a significant users, or if the "BTU" is the only one accepted and BTC dies... then you are back to only 3. Second, and as MANY times it has been said in here, and people do not seem to understand... if you have your BTCs with a broker or 3rd party, they might claim that "nothing" happen to you... that means that you just have 3 BTC or 3 BTU, and sweep the other 3 to one of their central accounts (you could still recover the other if you have your private key and you trust your broker/3rd party will not sweep/transfer it to themselves). Another factor is that if the BTC and BTU "merge" or have "consensus" in the future...then there will be double spending...but that is almost impossible once they fork.
In my case, I am moving ALL my money to BTC...... if the hard fork happens, and BTC and "BTU" both get accepted... I just doubled my money
... Again... in theory! This would be the first hard fork for BTC.Hope this helps to clarify things!
Is there any reward for being the first to relay a transactions?
Maybe a too newbie question, but I am running a full node for months, and there are at least 1,000 transactions flagged that I was the first to relay them... do you get any kind of "reward" for that?
And just for understanding better how Bitcoin works... wasn't that the actual thing that you do when mining? I am probably confusing terms here, right? Or maybe that was true when difficult was "just" 10 Thousand, not the 805 Billion that is today!
Anyway, all my mining is via pools... so I have never even tried / understood how solo mining or the actual mining pool obtains rewards.
Any inputs?
Thanks!

At the beginning of this thread, it was stated that Bitcoin Core was able to handle both blockchains, and I quote: "The safest thing to do is to use Bitcoin Core as it is a full node and gives you control over which chain you want to use (via the invalidateblock and reconsiderblock RPC commands)."
I really thought that you would need 2 core nodes running now... one for the "original" blockchain and another for the "new" blockchain, but it makes sense the same program can run both just by an option on which one to use.
Can someone elaborate, or guide me to where I can find more information on how to select each blockchain? I thought that these commands were only to eliminate blockchain starting from the block indicated... but I can also see how that would make you to go form one fork to the other if you invalidating the block on the height of the fork. Still not sure I understand how that would "connect" you to the main blockchain, or to the alt blockchain.
After looking for 1 hour around for this, I think one of you might guide me since all explanations are not that clear.
Thanks in advance for the guidance!

Thanks in advance for the guidance!
For example, suppose that chain A has a block with the hash abcdef at the height of the fork. Suppose that chain B has a block with the hash 123456 at the height of the fork.
To use chain A, you would do
Code:
invalidateblock 123456
reconsiderblock abcdef
reconsiderblock abcdef
To use chain B, you would do
Code:
invalidateblock abcdef
reconsiderblock 123456
reconsiderblock 123456
You can use those commands to switch back and forth between blockchains.
Note that switching back and forth may result in some undefined behavior and bugs. Since such a fork has not happened before, this method has not been tested in practice. Your mileage may vary.
------------------
Thank you very much for making this SO clear! I now understand where I got it wrong: I was thinking that the invalidateblock used the block height, so not sure how that would be different from any blockchain main or fork, but clarifying that I must use the block hash it makes perfect sense so that the specific "old" block would be identified to be removed, and the new one would start to be considered.
And now the only thing left to test is if there is a way to run two instances of Bitcoin core in the same machine...
