A much better, but similar solution would be to use PGP and somehow associate your PGP public key with your bitcoin address.
This would resolve the issue of potentially exposing your private key to anyone while keeping your goal of encrypting messages involving your bitcoin address.

Re: sx command line utilities - Empower The Sysadmin With Bitcoin Tools
hey so just an update as to what's going on:
- Obelisk has been renamed to libbitcoin-server and is undergoing lots of changes.
- libbitcoin has a new faster blockchain backend.
- SX is renamed to libbitcoin-explorer and has been improved.
we're still working on testing & improving the software, but once that's complete, there will be a new release.
sorry about all the troubles.

Sounds great, thank you for your hard work. I look forward to firing up the VMs again soon and trying it out.

Probably a rate limiter as it's a public server, I believe using obelisk balancer you can specify more than one public server and it will balance the queries. Whether it does auto-failover or weighted balancing I don't know off the top of my head. Or you could go back to trying to install a local obelisk server, then you wouldn't need the public ones. I'm no expert, just trying to help, give the website/docs a read.

Re: sx command line utilities - Empower The Sysadmin With Bitcoin Tools
do I need to run obelisk to get response from "sx balance addreess" command
also it seems that i cant install obelisk -
ERROR: --> You need to have installed libbitcoin, sx and obelisk before run this script.
Read the header of this script:
after i install-sx.sh
Please advise. Thank you.

yes, though you can point it at public servers rather than a local one if you dont want to / cant run it.

If you're having trouble editing the source then you could use the default source and just have a simple script to parse the output into a CSV. There are a million ways to do it but as an example the PHP below will extract the Address & Private Key from the standard vanitygen output.. you might need to edit it a bit as I don't use Windows but if you know a bit of Java then you'll be able to pluck out the data in the same way with that by capturing the output and parsing the relevant lines.
exec($vanityGenLocation.' -i 1test 2>&1', $rawData);
$parsedData['Address'] = substr($rawData[2], 9);
$parsedData['PrivKey'] = substr($rawData[3], 9);

Re: sx command line utilities - Empower The Sysadmin With Bitcoin Tools
I'm now on my fifth attempt using 2 different servers (one a pretty much clean Debian VM and one an established server).. every time I get nearly to the end of the blockchain sync it just seems to sit around not receiving new blocks and spewing reams of errors such as below. I'm assuming blockchain database corruption but it always seems to be somewhere in the 27#### block range (I've just noticed this). Is this normal? Is there maybe something about this range of blocks, was that when someone was spamming the blockchain? Getting a bit frustrated here sapping so much time and bandwidth and still haven't got a sync'd copy to play with. I don't want to download a torrent copy.

I am having this exact same issue on Ubuntu 64 (latest version) running in VirtualBox on my MacBook Pro Retina. I have 70GB of SSD and 6GB RAM allocated to the VM. The block chain has simply stopped updating at right around 300,000 block height. What solved this problem for you?
I'm afraid nothing solved the problem for me, I gave it a good go but submitted defeat assuming that the h/ware I was using was too slow. I'll try again though one day when I have spare hardware in the hope that whatever caused it is solved.

bouncing coins through exchanges will give some level of anonymity but it's not exactly the same thing as the real thing is it and has nothing whatsoever to do with this coin.

Hidden block lol. Childish idiot. Or lying c**t if you prefer.
Don't believe what you read on the Internet, lookup the block for yourself on one of the block explorers. No such hidden coins. Just a normal block.

Potential large investor here. But, I only store my coins offline. Does this coin have a paper wallet?
Just print off the address and key. If you wanted you could run them through a QR generator to make them easier to scan in but personally I find it's not that difficult to type in a private key once in a while.
For those that don't know you can open the debug console in the debug console of most coin wallets and type "dumpprivkey put-the-address-here" and it will give you the private key. Similarly you can type "importprivkey put-the-key-here" and it will import it.

Honestly this is just painful to watch, as an adult, as a professional. There are clearly a few people involved in Crypt with brains and 10x as many 16yo greedy idiots with no morals. I realise it's all part of the evolution of digital currencies and such an open market is always going to be open to abuse, FUD, trolls, idiots. But the sooner these children grow up the sooner they'll realise that lying and cheating and greed are not the path to success, the better.
Good luck devs, chin up, head down. Everyone else, blank the trolls, this entire forum needs to blank the trolls not just this thread. It's truly shameful and this is no place for these children. If only we could impose an enforceable age limit!

If you look at the block history on the blockchain.info homepage you can see the blocks have been a bit erratic the past few hours. Just happens sometimes, the Bitcoin network has a mind of it's own.
It's nothing to worry about, it'll be back to normal v.soon I'm sure.. from my experience there is a block holding it up with a bunch of transactions in it - once that block is finally solved the bottleneck (for want of a better word) will be clear and it'll all flow smoothly again.

Re: sx command line utilities - Empower The Sysadmin With Bitcoin Tools
sorry, I am trying to be helpful, I didnt actually run it with --help I just looked at the install script which clearly shows that it would display info that would help you see that you need to add --testnet .. but seemingly that's not what you're seeing when you actually execute it.
Code:
usage() {
echo " [+] Install script usage:"
echo
echo " [sudo] bash install-sx.sh [<--argument> [...]]"
echo
echo " If no arguments are provided, defaults will be used, and sudo is mandatory."
echo
echo " Default path for installation is $INSTALL_PREFIX"
echo " Default path for the conf files is $CONF_DIR"
echo " Stable versions of toolchain packages (from git $TOOLCHAIN_BRANCH branches) will be installed for libbitcoin, libwallet, obelisk and sx tools."
echo
echo " Optional arguments:"
echo " --prefix

Re: sx command line utilities - Empower The Sysadmin With Bitcoin Tools
Okay, I get how to install it, but how do I actually run it so obelisk will sync with testnet instead of mainnet?
what I said on the previous page: " If you run 'sx-install.sh --help' then it shows you some usage info. "
Regards,
RTFM.
Re: sx command line utilities - Empower The Sysadmin With Bitcoin Tools
If you run 'sx-install.sh --help' then it shows you some usage info. You can either pass the installation prefix and data dir to the install script or just edit the install script variables at the top. That would be one way to achieve what you would like, as you could have one datadir /srv/obelisk-main and another /srv/obelisk-test - I don't know if you need different binaries but it wouldn't hurt as you can test new versions then without affecting the main copy.
Excuse me bumbling in, but I'm local-ish to brum and am curious.. I don't follow this forum much so I don't know who you/"we" are.. is this a social/developer/business meet? Or just a simple piss-up? 
Just general info of what's what might entice a few more maybe.
I'm gonna guess from Google this is right: http://www.meetup.com/Oxford-Crypto-Group/

Just came across this on BBC video http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-26996936
Impressive guys! I'd join you if it wasn't for the wife... lol.
Watch the video ppl.

Is the blockchain on bitcoind up-to-date? i.e. on getinfo does it show the same number of blocks as blockchain.info .. a confirm is a block so if it hasn't caught up to all blocks then it wont show the confirms.
