Does it truly copy wallets from other electrum installations?
I am using portable electrum and store files on usb stick so I suppose I am safe from that right?

It seems it copies them only for convenience, but if you're using portable wallets then you don't need to worry about that. Just make sure you choose the server manually when you run it the first time, to make sure you get a BCH server and not a BTC one.
Re: [ANN] [DIME] Dimecoin | Many Coins | Step Reward | CPU mining
Hmm! The block explorer shows that I have the Dimes still left in the wallet but I can't see them in the actual QT! It gives the error: warning: error reading wallet.dat! All keys read correctly, but transaction data or address book entries might be missing or incorrect when I launch it.
The wallet contains all your private keys, as long as they are there then you didn't lose any coins.
Since the error message says all keys are read correctly then the coins are still safe. You need to extract the private keys from the current wallet and then import them back into a fresh new wallet.
It gets a little bit complicated to explain it here. But as long as your private keys are not lost the coins are still safe.
You can extract the keys manually, or you can use a tool called pywallet to help you. Here are some instructions that may help you, but you need a bit of technical knowledge to do this:

Re: [ANN] [DIME] Dimecoin | Many Coins | Step Reward | CPU mining
Could someone help me,please? I sent amount of Dimecoins with Dimecoin QT and they disappeared from my wallet and the transaction didnt happen at all. I have sent smaller amounts of Dimecoins before with no problem but now with this bigger amount I got an error. I get this error when I start the Dimecoin QT wallet:
warning: error reading wallet.dat! All keys read correctly, but transaction data or address book entries might be missing or incorrect
warning: error reading wallet.dat! All keys read correctly, but transaction data or address book entries might be missing or incorrect
Did you check the DIME block explorer to see if the transaction happened or not?
Do you have older backups of your wallet.dat? Try using them if you have (but make a backup of the current wallet.dat first).

The DIME/LTC market seems nicer:
https://coinedup.com/OrderBook?market=DIME&base=LTC
Total volume so far is over 2 billion coins. That's not too bad for only two days.
Come on. Sell me some cheap DIME
Re: [ANN] [DIME] Dimecoin | Many Coins | Step Reward | CPU mining
Hi... how does one mine dimecoin?
I've tried pooler's CPUMiner as per one of the dimepool's instructions, however it does not accept the parameter -a quark
Preferably I would like to mine dimecoin on a linux machine, but also windows at time.
can you please help? are there any instructions?

You use the same methods and the same mining code as is used for mining Quark.
This one has pretty good performance on Linux systems, and is the one I've been using:
https://github.com/uncle-bob/quarkcoin-cpuminer
To compile it look for (google) instructions on mining Quark and installing Quark mining on Linux, and you should be able to figure it out.

i try to mining this coin for about 2 hours, but still got zero on my account

i start mining from debug window, am i wrong ?

You will have to wait a looong time to find a block with solo mining. 2 hours is not enough on a single computer. 2 days maybe if you are lucky. Could be 2 weeks.
You should instead mine in a pool. Look at post #1 for pools.

Re: [ANN] [DIME] Dimecoin | Many Coins | Step Reward | CPU mining
lol you said it.
i just looked at other new coins with quark algorithm, some is premined aswell. worse the total coins are too low like btc and i hate dealing with decimals --> 0.00001W23T123F

This is what I like about DIME. Let's do some mathematical experimentation.
It's conceivable that the market cap of Bitcoin could go to 500 billion. That's the current market cap of Apple, and it's about 50 times the current market cap of Bitcoin (~10 billion).
At that point one Bitcoin would be worth of over 20,000 dollars. So you'll be paying around 0.0001 BTC for your coffee.
If DIME ever gets to 500 billion then it will just be 1 dollar per DIME, which sounds kind of nice to me

Just speculation - not sure HOW the protocol is established to handle this split brain scenario - what weird things might happen...
Just speculation - not sure HOW the protocol is established to handle this split brain scenario - what weird things might happen...
It happened to me too in the beginning. I think it's a good theory since the block time is fairly short with DIME it's possible there are block collisions or mini forks in the chain (split brain as you call it).
If you want to know what happens this is from the Bitcoin Wiki:
Quote
For any block on the chain, there is only one path to the genesis block. Coming from the genesis block, however, there can be forks. One-block forks are created from time to time when two blocks are created just a few seconds apart. When that happens, generating nodes build onto whichever one of the blocks they received first. Whichever block ends up being included in the next block becomes part of the main chain because that chain is longer. More serious forks have occurred after fixing bugs that required backward-incompatible changes.
Blocks in shorter chains (or invalid chains) are not used for anything. When the bitcoin client switches to another, longer chain, all valid transactions of the blocks inside the shorter chain are re-added to the pool of queued transactions and will be included in another block. The reward for the blocks on the shorter chain will not be present in the longest chain, so they will be practically lost, which is why a network-enforced 100-block maturation time for generations exists.
These blocks on the shorter chains are often called "orphan" blocks. This is because the generation transactions do not have a parent block in the longest chain, so these generation transactions show up as orphan in the listtransactions RPC call. Several pools have misinterpreted these messages and started calling their blocks "orphans". In reality, these blocks have a parent block, and might even have children.
Because a block can only reference one previous block, it is impossible for two forked chains to merge.

..and:
Quote
Nodes are incentivized to work on extending the longest chain or risk their work being wasted. If two nodes broadcast different versions of the next block simultaneously, some nodes may receive one or the other first. In that case, they work on the first one they received, but save the other branch in case it becomes longer. The tie will be broken when the next proof-of-work is found and one branch becomes longer; the nodes that were working on the other branch will then switch to the longer one.
Re: [ANN] [DIME] Dimecoin | Many Coins | Step Reward | CPU mining
There's something very strange going on with the http://dime.mine-pool.net/ pool. I connected up and got 3x 50K payouts in about the first two minutes. Then got a 145 payout a few seconds later, then nothing since then - for hours. The other people in the pool seem to be getting payouts just fine. Big ones. Just nothing to any of my addresses. VERY strange.
This is not so strange once you realize the formula for the block reward:
Code:
Block Number % 1024 * base Coins
What it means is the block reward starts at 1024, and ends at 1048576 every 1024 blocks. So the block reward changes while you mine. If you keep mining eventually you will reach the higher reward blocks and suddenly you will get very nice rewards.
The formula is in the first post, but I think most people do not notice it initially.
Also note that the difficulty has gone up quite a lot. Mining with anything below 1-2Mhash is going to be very random when you will hit a block reward.

What happened to the pool?
I was getting coins every few minutes in the beginning. Now I've been mining for over an hour and nada
In about 48-72 hours I will be pumping the hell out of BBQ Coin. I have about 940btc (Thanks to the dude who gave me the loan who will remain anonymous, you're getting an extra tip soon lol) and its ALL going to BBQCoin.
Eeeh, wot?
I'm really curious why would you do this? The pump and dump scheme originates from first building up a sizable position in something, THEN pumping the price (promoting), and then selling into the pumped up price (the dump), to make a profit.Pre-announcing a pump seems counter-intuitive to me. Unless you already bought, and what you're actually doing now is the pump part (promotion) and you're just sitting there waiting for everyone to take your BQC off your hands.
How about this too. Can we do USD > BTC and BTC > USD inside BTC-e or Bitstamp ?
That way we can skip Bitinstant and just use BTC address. Am I correct? Or there is a reason for Bitinstant to exist. I'm confused.

Yes. That's the whole idea with Bitstamp and BTC-e.
On both exchanges you can use USD to buy BTC, or you can use BTC to buy USD.
So yes, you can do USD -> BTC, or BTC -> USD on both Bitstamp and BTC-e.
The whole idea with Bitinstant was/is for people who want to transfer USD out from exchanges into their bank accounts, or to transfer USD from their bank accounts into an exchange. You don't need Bitinstant for transferring BTC between exchanges. You use your Bitcoin addresses for that.
I don't think almost anyone uses Bitinstant any more. Most exchanges today like Mt Gox and Bitstamp provide direct bank transfers. So you can transfer USD or EUR in and out of Mt Gox or Bitstamp using just normal bank transfers. Then you buy BTC for your USD or EUR.
Once you have BTC you can send it anywhere you like. Mt Gox, BTC-e, Bitstamp, Vircurex, your wallet, your friend, etc..
USD mostly.
Bitinstant charge like 3.99% for transferring. Isn't it is must more better to send thru btc addresses provided by bitstamp and btc-e itself? Or it is not advised to do so?
Kindly enlighten me please. :-)

It's very hard to get USD into BTC-e. It's much easier to use another cryptocurrency and send that into BTC-e. So buy your BTC on Bitstamp, and then send the BTC to BTC-e directly using your BTC-e Bitcoin address.
Bitinstant is only useful for transferring USD around from one exchange to another, but it's not always reliable and it's not always available, and it's expensive. So basically once you get USD into the system on some exchange, just buy BTC, and then transfer the BTC (or other cryptocurrency like LTC) around between exchanges.
