Hi, I am downloading the wallet from chrome and it blocks it saying it is malware. What do I do? why is chrome flagging it as malware?

I believe AC should be able to strongly recover from this trend. Today I see that AC, WC, FLT, BC all suffered a downtrend. My average buy price for AC is currently around 1400. I am hoping for a strong recovery.

The wallet will only mint stake when it is open. The coins will 'age' in a closed wallet, but it would need to be open  for a while to stake, because it is like mining, probability. You should ideally open every week or so for at least a few hours continually.

Thanks Majormax, it's clear now Smiley.

Hi bluewhackadoo, sorry it's still not very clear to me. If I transfer the 200000 coins to my wallet and keep it open for 1 hour for the initial synchronization. Can I them close my wallet and check in 2 months time to see some interest?

I want to encrypt my wallet, but will keep it unlocked when I launch it.

Hi pabloangello, thanks for the quick response. Does the wallet needs to be up all the time or only when I made a transaction? With my other wallets, I only open them when I made a transaction.

Hi, I don't understand how I will get interest on the coins. Do I need to run my wallet all the time? I bought 200000 coins yesterday. Would it be a good idea to install a wallet and move them or leave them on Mintpal?

I got in at 2010. Now trading 930 Sad. I am still holding on as I dont have more btc to buy. Hope it will start increasing.
Today it seems to be the same with all coins. BC, WC and FLT are going down as well. I have just started investing and put about 7BTC in WC, FLT and AC. Now I have only half of what I have put in Sad.

Strangely, in my coinbase account i can see the 9BTC transferred as confirmed, but in blockchain.info, it shows up as 0 and it is transferred to 2 different addresses. I am still not able to understand how this all works.

Lets take a look at your address that you were using:

https://blockchain.info/address/17cvnT6acns72gZcHb625KrbpF6BnGbeYT

Most recent transactions are on top, older ones on the bottom. Green Arrow means you RECEIVED BTC and Red arrow means you SPENT it.

First, notice this address received bitcoins from 8 different transactions, scroll down to the bottom and notice the amounts shown to be send to YOUR address (not others)

0.01
0.15846456
0.21902931
4.1
0.1
4.3
0.11972378
1.7

These 8 transactions sent you a total of 10.70721765 BTC

Ok, so now we have your balance. Now let's look at the money you SPENT!

----------------------------

The first law of bitcoin: You don't spend bitcoins, you spend (invalidate) transactions to create new transactions. Meaning if I have 1.0001 BTC and I send you 0.1 BTC with a 0.0001 BTC miners fee, I MUST send 0.9 BTC back to myself, otherwise the BTC will disappear into nothing. (actually, miner fees are the gap between the sum of inputs and the sum of outputs, so they would disappear into miner fees)

That rule is hard to grasp, so let's see it in action with your transactions.

Starting from the 3rd transaction from the top (the most bottom Red Arrow)

Left side (Inputs) shows your address 4 times with 4 amounts. Notice the 4 amounts correspond with values in the amounts you received above in order. (the first 4 amounts you received were added up until they reached more than what you wanted to send: 0.70711765 BTC.

(0.01 BTC - Output)
(0.15846456 BTC - Output)
(0.21902931 BTC - Output)
(4.1 BTC - Output)

Now look at the right, You send 0.70711765 BTC to 1MP9yRbd... and because you used up 4 outputs that add up to way more than that, you must send the change back to yourself.

Electrum automatically chooses an address within your "Change" tab (closed by default) and sends your change to that address. For you, it was 1GimW3XB... We can also tell that 1GimW3XB... is YOUR address, because in a later transaction you send bitcoins FROM it... (so it must obviously be yours)

The next send you performed was for 1 more BTC to 1MP9yRbd6... There were two outputs used as inputs.

(0.1 BTC - Output)
(4.3 BTC - Output)

Notice these are the amounts of the 5th and 6th transactions you RECEIVED. These are used up to send 1 BTC to 1MP9yRbd6... and the change must be sent back to yourself... so Electrum looks at the 2nd Change address (since the 1st Change address already has bitcoins in it) which is 1AzM7CBUFnVF... and sent it back to you.

Then let's look at the final transaction.

This sends the remainder to your 12NKg8... address. (I assume your Coinbase account deposit address)

Look at the outputs it used as inputs:

17cvnT6acns72gZcHb625KrbpF6BnGbeYT (0.11972378 BTC - Output)
17cvnT6acns72gZcHb625KrbpF6BnGbeYT (1.7 BTC - Output)
1GimW3XBE1xtdRET5Dvqdvbz3Y2EEACy27 (3.78027622 BTC - Output)
1AzM7CBUFnVFMP97QcNvHSSBuQ6PWvTVnR (3.4 BTC - Output)

Notice how the first two are the last 2 transactions you received to your original address... AND THEN it used the BTC you sent to the first two Change Addresses in your wallet. (you know they are yours, because if they weren't yours, you wouldn't be able to sign this transaction with their bitcoins. (which it is a confirmed transaction, so obviously, you signed it)

-------------------------

The best way to think of BTC is not a "Balance." but rather think of each BTC transaction you RECEIVE is like a dollar bill in the amount that you received.

If I buy a 2 dollar candy with a 5 dollar bill, the store gives me back 3 dollars, but with bitcoin, I make my own change and send it back to myself after I split up the transactions I've received.

-------------------------

As far as BTC leaving your Coinbase address is concerned, this is not a problem.

Once you give coinbase BTC. They control it for you. So they move the BTC into cold storage almost immediately to prevent hacking. Then they show you a pretty number on your login screen.

Once you give Coinbase BTC, you can no longer trace it on the blockchain, Coinbase owns your coins.

Hi dabura667, Thanks very much for the detailed explanation. I was unnecessarily worried Smiley. Now I know how the transactions work. I plan to create a electrum cold storage and will move my coins from coinbase once that is in place.

Hi JWU42, I haven't looked at the change subsection earlier. Now I transferred everything, so its all 0 now. But When I check on blockchain.info, there were two transactions to 1AzM7CBUFnVFMP97QcNvHSSBuQ6PWvTVnR and 1GimW3XBE1xtdRET5Dvqdvbz3Y2EEACy27 which adds up to the amount missing. These two addresses are not under any of my receive or change addresses.

Hi guys,

I have a problem with my wallet. I have 10.7 bitcoins in my electrum wallet and i did 2 transfers today for 1.7 bitcoins. The initial page in electrum shows me 9 bitcoins as my balance, but when i look at my wallet addresses it only shows 1.89 bitcoins remaining. I checked blockchain.info and it shows 1.89 bitcoins only under my wallet address. why is this happening? did i lose my bitcoins?

Guys, I am new to the bitcoin scene. Is it a good time to buy now or is it going to still go down?
I recently built a rig with 5 GPU's for  scrypt mining, but I realise now that it is cheaper to buy coins rather than mining. So planning to shutdown my rigs till the price goes up.

Re: CGWatcher 1.3.6, the GUI/monitor for CGMiner and BFGMiner to prevent downtime

sapstar: I replied to your email. I'll also post here in case anyone else having a similar problem reads this. Nothing worse than finding someone with the same problem with you on a forum and then never finding the solution.

You need to fix or correct the GPU map inside of CGWatcher. You can do this by clicking "Incorrect hashrate for this GPU?" under the Average Hashrate in the GPU tab. It looks like a map was already created at one point for 4 GPUs. Note that this is the same idea as the "gpu-map" setting in cgminer, but CGWatcher has its own internal mapping. When you click the "Incorrect hashrate for this GPU?" link, it will open the GPU Map window, where you match detected GPUs (ADL) to their correct hashrates (OpenCL). You can also clear the existing map (Clear Map button... this will not clear cgminer's "gpu-map" setting, only CGWatcher's mapping) and see if this is enough for CGWatcher to match ADL to OpenCL devices - but if not you may have to map them yourself. Usually CGWatcher is pretty good at doing this, but in this case you're mapping GPUs with the "gpu-map" setting in cgminer and this can cause it to mis-map them sometimes. Once you do this the GPUs should start being reported correctly.

Thanks very much for the info Milone. Now I know what caused the issue. It has been a coincidence that I have added a GPU after the update. I think that caused the gpu-map incorrect.
