That is little for Ethereum farming? Shocked
And all this time I thought a 4 card rig was small. That looks to be atleast 264 cards going all at once in rack formation. I got to get my priorities in check if I ever want to get into this eventually because I keep putting it off.  Embarrassed

Try changing to a different server. If it is not synchronizing it means the server you are actually connecting to may have problems for the moment.

Troubleshoot can be done better in the GUI version rather than the command line one, but if you are limited to command line you have to work through it.

Re: Are bitcoin wallet applications safe on phones?

Hi! I am new here. I just want to ask from experienced folks here if the bitcoin wallet applications found in apple store reliable and safe? Is it ok to keep my bitcoins would be in my wallets on phone? Thank you for your would be reply.

Apple store it means you have an Iphone. An Iphone is closed source contrary to Android and I think it is more secure when coming to bitcoin wallets. The best there is definitely Breadwallet, download it and it will be very useful to you if you use bitcoin on the go.

Re: How dangerous is it to send Bcash and leave BTC on the same address?
by
zend7
on 07/08/2017, 20:31:58 UTC
I want to dump some of my Bcash coins stored in my paper wallet using trezor sweep function. I don't want to move the bitcoins stored on the same address. What risks am I taking? Only replay attacks?

It should be easy to do without risks. Import your BTC to Electrum wallet and from there, import the private keys to Electron Cash a fork of Electrum wallet and then send to an exchange and dump all you want. After you have done this send your bitcoins back to your hardware wallet. I do not see any risk if done such way but I am not that experienced with BCC so proceed with caution. Here is a link to start to import your Trezor private keys to Electrum.

Re: TRANSFERRED but not SEND

on 07/08/2017, 20:26:26 UTC
I do a transfer of bitcoins 2 days ago,but still TRANSFERRED and the receiver say i did pay,i didn't found any email or real suport in Blockchain ,please help me ,and sorry my english

You need to post the transaction ID first here to see. If the transfer is finished then the transaction is done and the problem is on the other side, maybe the receiver is lying to you or he has a problem with his wallet. If you transferred your bitcoins to a specific site and they didn't give you what you send the bitcoins for, the site maybe a scam.

blockchain.info  put your address from where you send the coins in the upper right box to see all the transactions from this address. Also post the results here so we can help you more.

Re: How do I restore my Bitcoin core wallet?
by
zend7
on 04/08/2017, 19:41:40 UTC
old wallet few years old, had to do clean install of bitcoin core and made few copies of old wallet files across 3 computer for safety.
so the old wallet.dat file should by restored to bitcoin core//app data folder prior to sync of wallet? or can the old wallet.dat file be imported later after sync of the wallet?
are there any other files that need to be replaced?

Unless your wallet.dat is of a very old version of Bitcoin Core (should work too) the only thing you need to do is to copy paste the directory with all the bitcoin data in it. In newest version it is simple "Bitcoin" and it is where the guy in the post above described you in the appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin. Simply copy the wallet.dat in this directory, run Bitcoin core and it should work.

If not try to start Bitcoin Core with -salvagewallet option.

i want to keep some bitcoin in my phone but it is rooted .....
 i want to know the safety of my wallet..

Rooted doesn't mean anything bad. For example it means that in an iPhone for example you can get paid apps for free with some tweaks. Your wallet is as safe as in a normal phone, meaning is as safe as your phone is from malware. Keep only a small amount in your phone wallet and use it as a hot wallet, larger quantities should be kept in more secure wallets.

Re: Do I have to back up Jaxx regularly?
by
zend7
on 28/07/2017, 08:16:55 UTC
One more question, in case something happens to jaxx wallet, lets say app for some reason stop functioning. Is it enough to have 12 words backup and private and public key back up, or we need to backup private key regularly, i.e. do we have to backup private keys after new transactions occurs?

I currently mine zcahs, and I'm using jaxx for payments from the pool. After generating t address I have done back up of 12 words, and private and public keys, so my question is do I have to backup keys again after few months time or is it enough that I have done initial backup.







Jaxx wallet has been compromised a few times so I do not recommend using it as a wallet. Use Electrum for Bitcoins. If you want to use Jaxx becuase you want to keep ethereum too, then it is better to use another better desktop wallet for Ethereum. Pretty much if you read this section you will find those threads easily.

It is enough for you to have your 12 words but as I said it is not a recommended wallet.

If its a watching only wallet then you need to import the private key of that address to another wallet which operates normally. Now clarify me things as you are confusing me a bit.

1. This 1.4 Btc you bought two days ago to which wallet did you transfer them and I need to see the transaction ID of such transfer.

If you want to send from the watch only wallet, then here is the guide on how to do it and transfer your amount of bitcoins from your watch only wallet to Ledger Nano S.
http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/coldstorage.html#create-a-watching-only-version-of-your-wallet

And I don't understand why you need a watch only wallet when you have a hardware one ?

Ok thanks, i'll try that and hopefully they'll come through. Is it common that they may go missing then?

The 1.4 BTC i transferred from my coinbase wallet to my Nano S Ledger using the ios app and scanning the receiving QR code on the Nano S Ledger. The transaction shows as confirmed but there aren't any coins in my wallet. I tried doing exactly the same thing again yesterday but with a much smaller amount and they appeared almost immediately, so i have no idea where my 1.4 BTC went.

The transaction ID is: https://blockchain.info/tx/6bbc388dcd1dcf5324fe661034cdc38a424c34bc374d0cf146f7d8599bf9ff46
I think much better for now to backup the private key of the address where you should receive the 1.4 btc and import it in electrum instead use desktop to see also the history of the transaction..
If you are still not seeing your bitcoin in your wallet maybe you have slow internet connection try to connect to a good  better internet connection and maybe its not syncing that is why you can't seen your bitcoin in your bitcoin wallet.
according to the blockchain its already been confirmed and i think your bitcoin should be there..

Where do I find the private key with the Ledger Nano s to import it? I have a very fast internet connection and have tried subsequent transactions that have all gone through fine, and haven't had any syncing issues in the app.

I'm worried the coins have gone to another account but not sure how that would have happened

Check all addresses of your Nano Ledger S and see if this address "12koSJgNGSVWbPfN8G4ZViy3iKpGxPJ1hL" is one of yours there. I explained several posts above how to check for all addresses in your Ledger wallet. If it is then the coins should be in your wallet as the transaction have 367 confirmations so far. If not then I am afraid you have send it to the wrong bitcoin address.

Also check this address "14ZeFot6Tmm6e5QnCZGN9dWmMiSsXeQM12"

Re: Upgrading Operating System (windows)

on 27/07/2017, 13:02:19 UTC
I am going from Vista (I know - hence the reason for doing it) to Win 7, with a custom install to go from 32-bit to 64-bit (so I can put more RAM in).
I think I lose my programmes in doing that.

I will save the Bitcoin qt data (I know where that is stored) as well as backing up the wallet in several places. But again question comes down to when I reinstall the Core client will it a) recosgnise the wallet and be able to access it and b) despite the fact that I have pruned the blockhain down to 2Gb it will still be in synch without having to redownload the whole thing?

If answer to both is yes, I guess I am good to go.
If either is no then I dont think I will run a full node and instead go for something like Electrum, but then the question is will that software recognise and be able to access the Core wallet.dat, or do I have to open an Electrum wallet and send my BTC to it via a transaction (with fees etc)?

1.Electrum functions differently than Bitcoin core so I am afraid it will not recognize the wallet.dat you will save from your Bitcoin core wallet.

2. Bitcoin core will recognize the wallet if you do as ranochigo said and copy all the folder where bitcoin core data is placed.

3. Normally it should not download again the blockchain if you copy paste the data directory to the new installation in Windows 7. Worst case you need to start your bitcoin core wallet with the "-reindex" command and it will download again the blockchain for you. In the end it should work normally.

Ok I've downloaded Electrum and put the wallet address I sent the coins to and they have appeared in there. I'm not sure what I do next though, do I need to use the private key from my sending account, or the receiving Ledger wallet? the sending is through Coinbase so I'm not sure how I even got about getting the private key from there (if at all available)

Click on receive in Ledger. You should get a bitcoin address. Copy this and paste into Electrum "Pay to" box. Send the amount from Electrum and you should receive it instantly in your Ledger. Do not mess with the private keys.

Ok thanks i'll try that. Does it matter that the wallet address changes each time and doesn't match up with where the initial transaction was sent?

No. Address changes every time in order to ensure a better privacy to your coins. Re using the same address although it can be done is never recommended from almost all big major wallets, that's why Ledger for example changes address every time you request payment.

So by using a different address to send from the wathing wallet in Electrum, should still be able to recognise that the private key related to that wallet is right, and then transfer them to my Ledger? Sorry I'm new to this and pretty worried i've lost the 1.4 BTC I bought two days ago..!

In the ledger wallet normally coins appear immediately after you send them (talking from electrum or other desktop wallets as in coinbase you have to wait for them to process the transaction). Have you checked all addresses in the ledger wallet, go to the sign in message option and copy paste all addresses. Normally there is a glitch ongoing here as if the transaction is confirmed in the blockchain.info or other block explorers it should appear.

Why don't you show us the tx ID of your transaction from your coinbase to your ledger wallet so we can check better ?

Re: Sensitive market at this moment.

on 25/07/2017, 13:40:46 UTC
I respect your opinion but 2020 is too much time for Bitcoin to reach $5K mark, I believe that bitcoin will reach $5K in next year itself and in the year 2020, the price is not going to be anywhere below $20K. Yes, this is my personal opinion and might be completely wrong. I agree with you that crypto market is sensitive at this moment and I think the reason is that, it is not yet established and there is a lack of awareness among the users. Recent price fall under pressure of 1 Aug event clearly highlighted that aspect but still, I am optimistic about the average maturity of crypto user will be much higher than that of today.

You are being overly optimistic. I don't think that Bitcoin will reach 20K USD in the year 2020. Bitcoin is experiencing a slow and steady growth these days as we all wait to see if any new development will happen on August 1. Bitcoin will continue to rise over the years and the people who will benefit most from this price rise will be the one holding them for a longer time. We are all in time to be these persons, we just have to stop acting impulsively to any pump and dump it may happen to bitcoin price these days. Remember patience is the virtue of the winners.

That information proves nothing. A lot of other people may be richer than them, by keeping a lot of addresses with different amounts of bitcoin which in total can be more than the 100 addresses listed there. What you are trying to see it is impossible. People who have bitcoins care much more about their privacy than rich people who keep their money in different bank accounts.

While a split may happen chances are very high that it won't happen. BIP 91 has locked in majority of the miners and if a chain split happens the new coin  won't last very long.
