To pay with bitcoins just select "Other" at checkout.  Bitcoin will be handled outside the etsy system.

Downloaded core and saw the exe was signed by "Bitcoin Core Code Signing Association".

This is new and I haven't heard of it.  Is it legit?  Also found this website:

Ok, I'm an idiot.  It has a HD not an SSD.  Please delete thread.

My previous version was 0.14 or so.  I installed 0.17.1 and it seemed to delete all of the blocks on the SDD and then download them from scratch.  I have an i3 Intel Processor, 4 GB RAM, 320 SSD HD, so fairly new computer about 1-2 years old.  I have set the memory in Bitcoin Core to 2000MB in the settings.

In my task manager the Disk IO is maxed out at 100%.  I have 8 connections to the network.  Time to sync says 4 weeks.  Not sure why it is taking so long.  Been 1.5 days.

I would like to hire a private investigator.  Know of any recommendations?

He is a well known person in China, the "Steve Jobs" of bitcoin.  He owes me some bitcoin.  I just need some help to contact him.  He claims to be good on his word.  I don't know if he is in jail or what since I lost communication with him.

I'm sorry but I don't speak Chinese.  I'm looking for a way to contact Li Xiao Lai.  He made this site: http://www.bitfundpe.com/#founder

He took my bitcoins and I have been trying to contact him for over a month, but he has not responded.  Can anyone help me? 

God dammit, I figured it out.  By default c-lightning runs on testnet.  To run on mainnet you have to use:

lightningd/lightningd --network=bitcoin

The address started with a '2' because it's a testnet address.

I just tripled checked my copy and paste and I did not miss any characters. 

I'm following these instructions at https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning to open a channel:


Lightning gives me a new address that starts with a "2", 2xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

I try to send bitcoins to this address using sendtoaddress but it says:

error code: -5
error message:
Invalid Bitcoin address


What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.  Ok, here is the fix:

Just make sure to forward port 9735 to the host running lightningd and add --ipaddr to the lightningd command line.

If necessary add rpcport=8332 to bitcoin.conf and reboot.

bitcoind is running and is synchonized. I am trying to run lightning with the first command and I get this error:

lightningd/lightningd --log-level=debug

    lightningd(3684): Trying to guess public addresses...

    lightningd(3684): Address 192.168.1.12:9735 is not routable

    lightningd(3684): Failed to connect 10 socket: Network is unreachable

My bitcoin.conf file has these lines:

    server=1

    rpcuser=aUser

    rpcpassword=aPassword

Any help would be appreciated.
My computer is behind a router...

Brave Browser just raised $35 million and I own mass shit coins.

Just wondering if any alt coin that is traded that uses colored coins instead of forking bitcoin/etherum code.  Any ideas?
