There's "zero confirmation" possibility in Core Wallet.
If you send bitcoins internally, (From one address to another) or If you want to send from a change address whose tx is not confirmed yet; you can send those bitcoins.
There's an option on the core wallet says; "spend unconfirmed change".
When you've unconfirmed change or self transaction that means you can send those amounts without confirmation.
Topic: How many confirmations until i can re-send the money (Read 3336 times)
I think only one confirmation is needed before sending but sometimes or in many cases you need tx in your account to send the money again.

with bitcoin-core i can re-send without any conf if you have more fund than what you received, multibit does require 1 i think
This settles it. You don't know what a blockchain info wallet is.
They DO NOT have access to your private keys....
And you dont know what security is.
"Let's just deposit 10.000BTC on an online site exposed to all sorts of hackers, and also take their word for it that they won't have access to it"
Basically this is your logic, its just a question of time until something will go wrong there, and it had, just look at the testimonials of people got hacked by using online wallets, many from this forum, so look around.
Ok then even if that's true, there are keyloggers and other scrips that can read passwords, what about those?
See why would anybody risk 10.000 BTC, and expose it to unnecessary risk.
Now i say again, under perhaps 100BTC the security could be enough, but certainly for really large sums i would definitely not expose my wallet to unnecessary risk.
there are anti-keylogger, or keystroke protection like zemana, which work really good
also leave a small wallet(little amount inside it) as a trap, to always now if your pc is secure
First of all, it is wallet.dat not wallet.wallet.
There are keyloggers which will save the password and then open it and next time you connect to internet, a TX popups in your wallet.You can detect Trojans, worm etc... easily but it's hard to detect keyloggers and it appears most in pirated copies of Windows and Mac OS. You won't know whether there are keyloggers when you do a quick-scan untill you do a deep scan or untill you find a TX.
People should use antiviruses in 2015, especitally if they store wealth on their PC. C'mon thats a basic safety protocol, nobody is dumb enough to ignore it?
Also when they download pirated stuff they should check the reputation of the uploader.
Even if they buy an original copy there can be some hidden spyware there intentionally put there by the governments to spy on people.
Many cases of firmware have been confirmed to contain surveilance viruses...

I dont know what you are talking about here, but if you are referring to my quickwallet software's "wallet.dat" then you are mistaken. That wallet.dat contains absolutely no private key. It's just a collection of bitcoin addresses encrypted to ensure privacy, but it has absolutely nothing to do with actualy "wallet.wallet" files like the Bitcoin Core or Armory uses.

It just doesnt seem logical to me.

Keyloggers can also steal your wallet.dat and your wallet passwords. Considering most viruses has a wallet.dat stealer in it. If you are storing 1BTC, you shouldn't be using a desktop wallet or online wallet. It should be in your cold storage.

Hi All -
I sent 4 bitcoins from my circle.com account to my blockchain.info account. The blockchain.info account currently says I have 1 confirmation.
How many confirmations (or how do I) until i can send those 4 bitcoins from my blockchain.info account to another party?
I'm a newbie, so I assume that the bitcoins are still 'waiting to clear' before i can send them somwhere else.

I believe Circle requires 4+ confirmations before you can access the funds.

It depends on the walet program/provider.I sent 4 bitcoins from my circle.com account to my blockchain.info account. The blockchain.info account currently says I have 1 confirmation.

But most of the times confirmation is enought, but site may require up to 5 confirmations or so.
It's quite individual.

if you are sending 4 BTC then you should wait for atlest couple of confirmations

Using blockchain.info properly doesn't compromise the security of the private key. I have a private key that I have imported in nearly all wallets I have and it constantly has double digits of BTC on it. Still not stolen.
I don't think you know how BCI wallets work.
Yes it does, a secret is only a secret if 1 person knows about it, when 2 person know about it its already compromized.
The mere fact that it's on an online service makes it compromized. Sure its segregated and all that stuff, but one day they could turn scam and start looting big addresses 1 by 1.
But for 2 digits BTC is guess its ok if you trust them so much. For 3 digits BTC, i would definitely not use them though.
Also Blockchain.info has already beed hacked numerous times lately.

Then you read it wrong. He said that he already sent the BTC from Circle to his BCI account. So he doesn't need to import anything at all.
How was i reading wrong? And why you say "he", i was quoting you man, why you talk about yourself in the 3rd person.
You said that export-import from circle to blockchain.info, and i explained why thats not a good idea.
Where did I write this?
You are reading into things... I said that you can export the private key from your OWN wallet, not from circle. You can't export shit from circle.
Ok i was generalizing then. Forget about Circle, but it can be the same for any wallet. Never compromize the private key with 2 services, that is the point i was trying to make.
Even if it's your own wallet, why would you want to share that private key with Blockchain.info or other sites, when you arleady have it secured on your PC?
Isn't it better to pay a damn 0.0001 BTC, then to compromize the entire address with a 3rd party?
