Strange transactions after importing old private key into Bitcoin ABC
by
Oldie
on 18/08/2017, 17:28:48 UTC
Hello,
     Strange thing happened here.  I have only used the Bitcoin Core wallet, and just followed the instructions in the sticky to create a new wallet, transfer everything, and then export/import the old key to the new Bitcoin ABC Wallet.  Took a while but it eventually synched up.  I do show all the old transactions from before 8/1, but there are 2 send transactions that were not in my original wallet, no idea where they came from.  There is also a send transaction that didn't appear on the new wallet.  My balance is adjusted by those amounts, and is not right given my balance of Bitcoin on 8/1.  Not sure what (if anything) i did wrong.  Ideas?

Thanks

If you are using Bitcoin Core 0.12.0 or 0.12.1, you can go to Help > Debug Window and click on the Console tab. Then type in the box at the bottom
Code:
abandontransaction aaddeaa91cc7ed77b58044fa274cd6abaa0dd46b90f42a5bf05ab052775e0f28
If it doesn't give you an error, you should then be able to respend the inputs spent by that transaction.

So I did that, and didn't get an error.  The full amount is back on the main screen.  The transaction is still there though, is it always going to be there?  I haven't resent anything and now I'm not even sure I want to or even should.  Is there any way to clear the transaction from the wallet?

Thanks.

Thanks for the help.  The only transactions on the transactions tab are the 3 that are on the recent transactions list.  Need to go eat, I'll do the other things when i get back.  Thanks again!

Sorry, here is the wallet screenshot:

So with the zero fee, I just have to wait it out? Sad

2 Questions

Hello,
     I was into Bitcoin a few years ago but abandoned it after getting hacked and losing all my mined coins.  Anyway, I'm investing again and had a couple questions.  This is a brand new bitcoin-qt wallet that I setup.  I have 2 received transactions so far, one of a large amount and one of a small amount.  I also sent some, but that transaction hasn't cleared yet, it was a couple of days ago.

Questions:
     The  "Available", "Pending", and "Total" in the wallet only show the smaller received coins, the other coins aren't included, even though they appear in the transaction list.  Why are they not there?

     How long do these send transactions take now?  I don't remember transactions taking this long years ago when I started.  Edit - here is the transaction: https://blockchain.info/address/1PzED2NsMKbWbJ946FbA9VKy1D5seSTJU9

Thanks!

For every winner there have to be some loosers right?  The money has to come from somewhere. 

That's not exactly right, and it depends on what you are talking about when you say "money".  Bitcoins, by definition, are created out of compute power, there are no "losers".  Wealth can rise or fall without any corresponding loser or winner.  During the financial crisis, there were FAR more losers than winners, as another example.

Re: Bitcoin mining vs Litecoin mining

dammm, that is a good idea using CryptoSwitcher, I've never seen it before and might give it a try to stay ahead and maximise my ROI with my 12 GPU's I got minig only LTC

In order for that system to work as it indicates, you need to instantly trade the coins that you are mining for bitcoins on the exchange you are monitoring to achieve the % profit that you are trying to make.

If you are just accumulating the coins, your expected "profit" is not what you think it is.

Edit: there is also a pool that does the same thing:  https://www.multipool.in/

(another ed: hmm.  i wonder if there will be lots of 'clearance' deals on radeons here soon)

I think there's going to be a LOT of used Radeon cards on ebay in the next few months.

Re: How to put your unmodded PCI-E x16 card in your spare 1x slot without a riser.

I think the OP is pointing out that you can use much older hardware (and no warranty issues if so) to do some mining without waiting for the mail from China with the risers in it (or paying through the nose for US shipped ones).  This is a good way to repurpose older hardware that you may have lying around.

I have access to a few older PC's that only have X1 slots, and I may buy some of the 7790's on sale now at newegg and use this to mount them properly in the case.  Thanks for the idea Smiley

Re: USB 300MH/S ASICMiner Value Question

Don't forget that there are EBay fees, Paypal fees, shipping costs, fees to turn that fiat back into BTC.  I've had zero feedback bidders not pay, resulting in more listings, and the fees just keep starting over.   Overall it's a really inefficient way to move these units.

Granted there are Ebay and Paypal fees, but shipping costs should be paid for buy the buyer, and the BTC buying fee should be pretty minimal if you use the right source.  Also, a non-paying bidder just means a waste of time, as there would be no fees involved when ebay refunds the final value.

Overall though you will only see any profit in these units if you buy them in one of the group buys and sell them on ebay in the next few weeks.  Let's do the math.  Using https://bitclockers.com/calc, at current difficulty, 1200 Mh/s will return .0539 BTC per day.  1 unit can do 300 Mh/s, which would equate to 0.013475 BTC/day from a single miner.  The group buys are going for about 2.15BTC.

The breakeven point, assuming no difficulty change and no electricity cost is 159.5 days

Factor in difficulty increases and forget it.  In 3 months the difficulty will be so high these will be generating next to nothing.

I would like to build one of these enclosures, either with the metal frame or wood.  The metal frame ones look custom, where do you get the materials?  Some of the wood ones look to be pre-built units that have been re-purposed.  Any idea where those are from?  Perhaps when people post pics they can add that info.

Thanks

I think it is better to buy 2x7850 then, and adding two more later...

agreed

7850 is best buy if gaming isnt a concern, can be had for about $100 after selling games + rebate.  resale value wont drop much below that in 2 months

Not sure if that's true, the MSI 7790 is $109 after rebate and before selling games (so take another 20-30 off), and can mine at 300k.  Less power consumption, less heat, is quieter (fan only at 40-50% at fill 1200oc).  These cards are wonderful, have 6 of them.

Re: Drivers for 6770

Uninstalling doesn't really uninstall everything.  There are a couple threads here on how to really remove everything, and you could also use Atiman Uninstaller v.7.0.2 (google it and you should find a link).

If that fails, a fresh install would work (last resort).

Thanks, I'll try dropping the clock speed.
Run it at stock speeds for a while.  I would also set intensity to 19.  Once it is stable at stock speeds then you can start playing around with bumping things up, although with scrypt mining it's more about ratios than how far you can push everything.

You can also look at recommendations for 5800 series cards from this thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=117221.0

good luck (again).

Grats on getting up and running.  I've hardy ever been successful uninstalling and reinstalling different ATI drivers, most of the time I get the same application error if I do that.  Since these are mining machines, it doesn't take long for a reinstall (Win7 64-bit SP1 installed from USB stick, no updates or anything else).  I disable windows update and the rest of the action messages, install system drivers, a few utilities (VNC, Winzip, Afterburner, .net 4.0), then install the ATI drivers depending on card (6x gets 11.11, 7x gets 13.4, 7790 gets the custom one), copy my base cgminer and go.

The reinstall saves a lot of frustration.  A 450w PSU is enough to drive a single card, anything above that you may be running into power issues.
