Received some BTC testnet coins, thanks. But the address I was given to use, in sending back the coins, seems problematic.

I get the following msg from 2 block explorers:

Quote
Sorry, 'mv4myY3Su5gjcDNzbMLKBQkBicCtHUtFB' is not a valid BTC Testnet address, wallet name, transaction or block

and

Search by address failed mv4myY3Su5gjcDNzbMLKBQkBicCtHUtFB

Can you advise?

Thanks

... or the new outputs you create (which is in your control based on which address you pay first).

pooya87,

Have you tried sending money to many outputs?

You may find the order of the new outputs has been randomized before the transaction is broadcast by Electrum.

It does seem this is simply a policy decision that the Electrum devs have taken. I was just wondering if there was a way to turn this randomize feature off for particular transactions I broadcast.

I am not sure I understood your question

Is there a way to order the transaction outputs, in Electrum, without creating the raw transaction yourself?
What exactly do you want on electrum?

I think electrum will give you random tx output so there is no way to change the output or create your own TX outputs.

crairezx20,

There is a feature for loading a transaction via a text file.

To me that suggests there most certainly is a way to construct a raw transaction yourself and broadcast it using Electrum.

Look at the 'Pay to many' menu option.

Hi,

I would like to know a) if the outputs are randomized, when Electrum creates a transaction consisting of multiple outputs, and b) if so, is there a feature for toggling the 'random order' of the outputs i.e. from on to off and vice versa?

Thanks.

In my opinion, when you find a good business plan with such good timing and which must surely be sending untold panic and fear into cartel-operators, you really shouldn't be this surprised at these black-PR attacks... you should be expecting them. And worse, too.

Especially as the project begins to take serious shape. Do you really think the Protectionists are simply going to roll-over and say here's my lunch?

Come on peeps... don't get too freaked out. If you've done your homework and the ppt team is showing signs of progress and delivery, that's good enough for me. Let the attackers try their hand.

ps. one thing I do expect for projects like PPT and VERI is for the financial cartel-operators to attempt to court the project creators... using all the snake-oil and slimy charm they can muster. The creators would do well to brace themselves for this extremely well-funded charm-offensive. When these people see that they can't win, they know the next step is to become their enemy.

Opentimestamps : help in getting it to work.
by
bitterbug
on 16/10/2017, 12:58:14 UTC
Good day,

I'm trying for the first time to use this application: https://github.com/opentimestamps/java-opentimestamps.

I'm feeding the filename argument into the application, as opposed to a hash/digest.

I followed the instructions on github. When I run it, it seems to work. But the verify fails... even after having waited about a day for the calendar servers to do whatever they are supposed to do.

My output is:

Code:
   Pending or Bad attestation

I can post the relevant code snippet, for 'verify', to show objects are populated and that timestamp returned is null.

When I use the 'info' argument I see 'verify PendingAttestation' for each of the three servers.

I haven't a clue as to how to interpret this. Presumably these servers are responsible for creating and broadcasting a transaction, with sufficient addresses to represent the file hash. And the verify option is supposed to.... conduct a blockchain query to check the hash exists in a transaction? I see the docs speak about it as a free service.... which is surprising but perhaps I've missed something.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I have HD accounts and non-HD accounts, on my mycelium app. It appears there is also more than one type of non-HD account. Colored/master coin, for example.

I'm still trying to figure out how best to ensure all my keys are backed up securely. Navigating through this not soley a matter of logic it seems. Some reading and homework is required. But of course this is what everyone who wants to hold crypto-currencies in a few different wallets should be doing. And the more valuable the crypto in question, the less margin for error there is, forking and retrieving receiving change addresses and what not.

I can understand why the Dash people are focusing on making things grandma-simple. Mainly they know there is no chance in hell of widespread adoption with this level of technical competence required in managing personal finances.

I may appear paranoid but I'm just trying to make sense of it all, right now. I guess I'm still going on the advice I took to heart which says if you don't hold your private keys you don't own the balance on them.

Thanks for the replies and advice, so far. It is making a lot more sense.

Yes. It is a master public/private key pair which it is displaying.

So if I want to back these up manually using the clipboard, then these are the only keys I need to back up for the HD account in question, correct?

It is currently saying '"Contains 3 private keys"

Is there any reason to locate and backup those 3 individually generated key-pairs? Are they forever hidden in the app?

Hi,

Where can I find out what format my Mycelium hd wallet account's keys are in, when exported to my device screen.

I had a look at 'compressed' and 'uncompressed' but I have a hexadecimal string which is 112 characters, rather than 66 or 130.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm looking for some documentation on how to secure PPY token once they are in a Peerplays wallet.

If someone can either provide the info' or point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate that.

Thanks

(I mean is there a feature for exporting keys, for example?)

Just document the username and password...

Hi Jocuserious,

Username and password? That's it? The token holder has no access to public/private key-pairs?

Doesn't this amount to the need for a trusted 3rd-party?

I'm going to do some reading, so I have a better idea of peerplays.

Excuse me?

coinmarketcap...

VERI: $534.32 (516.53%)

Is this one of those weird spikes again?

Edit: just read your post Fern, would that have been the cause of the price spike? Is it really that easy to push VERI into the top 10, in terms of market cap, on coinmarketcap.com, if only temporarily? Makes me wonder if this was really fat-fingered.

Hi,

I'm fairly new to PKI, so bear with me please.

I have a couple of questions about verifying the signed message.


...

Verifying the release:
1) get public key of author
2) import public key of author
3) get HTML from bitaddress.org
4) sha1 checksum of HTML
5) verify signed message from author
6) confirm sha1 in step 4 & 5 matches
NOTE: If the web page is saved as "web page complete" as opposed to "web page html only" the checksum will not match.

Code:
wget http://www.bitaddress.org/ninja_bitaddress.org.txt
gpg --import ninja_bitaddress.org.txt
wget http://www.bitaddress.org/bitaddress.org-v2.9.1-SHA1-67b1facd70890aa9544597e97122c7a1d4fdc821.html
sha1sum bitaddress.org-v2.9.1-SHA1-67b1facd70890aa9544597e97122c7a1d4fdc821.html
wget -qO- http://www.bitaddress.org/pgpsignedmsg.txt | gpg -d

...


It appears to me that 'gpg -d' is an instruction to gpg to decrypt the file argument.

1) Why is it necessary to decrypt the message when I can read it perfectly as it is?
2) Why is there no mention of 'verify' in this step's command (step 5)? I was expecting to use one or other variation of '--verify'. Please clarify.

Thanks for any feedback.

The exchanges themselves are not important. the important part is what you got into your bank account in Euros versus what you got out of it. The surplus is the reportable part.

Right. The next question is probably more important.... do I need to declare crypto-crypto trades? Or just fiat-crypto and crypto-fiat trades?

Not sure if you know that level of detail.

Thanks, riclas,

Could you elaborate on 'All the trades were done abroad', please?

I was in Portugal, at the time of the trades, if that is what you mean. But the fiat/crypto exchanges were not in Euros. If I convert using daily rates, is that acceptable?
