Topic: Is there an ACTUAL working bitcoin app? (Read 2241 times)

I'm with the OP. What on earth are the devs doing???

I stick with what I call audio OS, or OS's that you can load a plethora of softsynths in without lag etc.. win98se in my opinion is the best audio video OS ever, shame they had to fuck it by adding the ntfs..

And many win98se audio applications are simply the best, fuck all this cloud shit where you store your saved work on someone else's computer.. most dont realise tiat this act gives them your rights to your music, as they recorded (stored) it for you, first, by the simple act of you clickin save.

I have Win98SE too. And for some reason, I've keep MSDOS 6.22 (and Win 3.11).. I've lost my Win 95. Have 2000 somewhere in one of these hard drives at work.

Regardless of OS, you should be fine if it sits behind a modern firewall or router. Nothing from outside will get in. (Not easily anyway.)

My little factory has 20 desktops with XP. The network is more-or-less isolated from the internet.

With regards to XP, and it being a dead os, well, not entirely, see, here in the uk, the gov is paying microsoft to continue with updates for xp. Personally, I never use internet explorer, and un-install it in it's entirety upon installation of said os.. firefox or palemoon, and even these make me wanna puke, so overbloated I wonder why they dont just go back to the origional version, since most anti virus's will pick up any malware/virus's before they do damage.. imagine.. windows 98se.. now there's a lesson on how to get rid of a decent os..

As for linux, haha.. it's a mess.. every possible key combo recorded on a 64 key keyboard before initial release.. now what does this mean I wonder.. hey, it's in the chip.. anything you think you can do on linux was recorded before linux was a viable system.

I am an audio engineer, and have xp, linux (backtrack), and 98se on seperate hard-disks, and simply choose which os to boot from using the f12 key, nae feckin aboot..

But I see no reason to move to an os that requires twice the memory for less than half the performance..

And I never save material made by me online

And I just dumped bitcoin.

Fuck all this update crap.. go plant a tree time..

my sides are in orbit

This is somewhat offtopic, but anyway, hackers have been reverse engineering new security updates for latest versions of Windows to try and find security holes in Windows XP because Microsoft no longer releases security updates for XP (except in one recent case).

There have been some severe security issues patched recently (such as the IE one: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/usanow/2014/05/01/microsoft-issues-internet-explorer-security-fix/8562737/ ) and all Windows XP users could be easily attacked using these security flaws.

You really should NOT be using XP or you'll be easy pickings for hackers.

Anyway, Bitcoin Core fully supports XP. I would try to help you with whatever issue you're having but I think it'd be a waste of my time.

That's not so bad, you know. I pushed for XP support for Armory (see their sub-forum). I used XP all the way in almost every hardware I got.

XP is officially dead. But, like many corporations, I have it installed in almost all my computers at the factory; about 20 desktops. (I run a small clothing manufacturing thing.)

I don't have the time anymore to try and figure out why I can't do a virgin fresh format XP install on a completely wiped drive that previously had XP on it for the last 4 years; same with the new laptop. For some reason it's not working, even turning off AHCI to IDE, but that shouldn't have been the problem.

Try 7. I usually set my XP to "classic" look, so I did the same with 7. Now I miss the darn "edit" command (64 bit does not have edit!!!)

My brother-in-law has praises for 8.1 ... I installed that on an even older laptop, just to get familiar with it. New look bothers me though.

Yup, the stupidity of the devs.. who'll eventually stop xp support

Ach, more likely there's a stupid isp playing with hindering p2p traffic.. virgins main testbed is where I live, then the usa get it 2 yrs later lol, just like the docsis 3 update. Since 2 months ago, or when the police starte clamping down on torrent sites etc, even web pages are slown to a crawl, I blamed it on ajax scripting once.. then put it down to so many websites looking the same..

Notice how torrents of late are getting slower and slower regardless of the popularity?

This would affect p2p..


Gonna go for a fresh format soon, so will just wait till then, whits a few more days..??

As for re-installing xp, I have never failed to put it on any machine..

stupidity will defeat bitcoin

I agree it's likely if you're doing a lot of audio editing that you probably would have noticed a hardware issue, but it's still possible that there's a hardware issue. The only way to be certain is by testing (e.g. an error scan with HD Tune or a "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" in Windows...)

From my own personal experience: when my DRAM died, the only applications I had trouble with were Armory and Bitcoin Core. Everything else (for example compilers and games, both of which are hardware-intensive) seemed fine. It was only after I ran Memtest86+ that I was convinced it was my hardware's fault, and not Bitcoin Core's.

Ahhh... XP... Until last month, I preferred to use XP SP3 (with updates until the last one, actually got a slip-streamed iso for doing fresh installs)

But when I had XP SP3 last month, I was also using the latest bitcoin version, 32 bit. That worked for me.

Major reason I switched to 7 is because I got a new laptop and I could not install XP on it, no matter what I tried. Wierd, but I didn't waste too much time. After a week of trying I gave up and installed 7 instead.

Besides, I now have 8 gigs of RAM so it was probably better I switched to a 64 bit OS. (Old laptop had 2 gig of RAM, so I saw no need to upgrade from XP SP3.)

I have a bunch of older laptops and desktops running XP SP3, I'll try and see if bitcoin core works there.

Another possibility is a DRAM memory problem. Memtest86+ can help to rule this out (or in): http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

Also, just FYI, because Bitcoin Core can be both disk and memory intensive at times, it wouldn't be surprising if it were the only app that was having problems. In other words, there might be a hardware problem even if all of your other apps are running just fine.

No guarantees it's a hardware problem, but it's definitely a good thing to check for.

Hard disk is fine, runnin 6 of 12 x 500gig seagate pipeline hd 2's.. and several of my audio apps wont work if there was an hd error..

Oh, we are getting somewhere.

If your hard drive supports SMART (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Monitoring,_Analysis,_and_Reporting_Technology), you could try and run a tool like http://www.hdtune.com/ (there are others). Might be a hard drive problem. How old is it?

Well, I'm on xp sp3, (stayin on it) 50mb cable connection.. - The problem, which I should have stated to start with instead of gettin rid o lamer answers lol, is that since installing latest version, I have been unable to access the app.

It started at first with bad:alloc I tried the usual fix's, including starting blockchain again, then adding wallet after blockchain completed, which worked, kinda.. the app quit once i got my last payment, and I have been unable to get passed the bad:alloc problem.

So uninstalled latest and re-installed previous version, same bad:alloc, so decided to start afresh, re-downloaded blockchain, let it complete, then added wallet, to no avail, only this time, I tried the -r flag, to rebuild the index, and when I tried that, it killed the app, and now the app just wont start period, I got no virus's/malware etc...

Seems everytime a new version is released, the problems increase.. and dont be listening to folks who dont know how to build a major system designed for mega sound recording usage, meaning, my pc is fine..

A copy of the last log only shows the latest after the -r flag, so I cant re-produce the bad:alloc, which I presume is a bad allocation of whatever part of the blockchain?

And thanks for the effort

Running recovery does nothing if the app wont start..

And my db is in the same place it always has been, installed dir..

I'm using bitcoin core, and it's working for me. Something is wrong with your setup, your network, your computer, your internet connection or something.

What OS are you on?

Here's some info from mine on Windows 7 64 bit. I'm on a 3 mbps DSL home connection, in a third-world country. We get typhoons a lot and my roof is leaking, but my internet and my bitcoin core seems to be working fine.

I'm using a laptop too, so that's not exactly a supercomputer. (And if I may mention, it's full drive encrypted and I'm on a regular platter hard drive, not SSD.)

Yeah, put a picture of your girlfriend as your avatar in stead of someone else's.. ya fuckin weirdo.. I'd have ya for stalkin

Wow.. so many problems created by flaming trolls..

The app wont sync, period. Tried and tested on 3 computers. Get ready, for there IS a way to defeat bitcoin.

It's funny how google shows more results over the bad allocation of whatever.. something to do with blockchain. Never happened until latest version was installed, meaning problem can be found in latest version. Cunt is, that even after un-installing that version and going to a previous version, same problem.

I'm fed up starting again to find it wont make a difference, I'm fed up downloading some shitty blockchain required before I can spend what I earned, I'm fed up of people messing with the app when there was NEVER anything needing fixed, or bitcoin would have been hacked by now.

Logs, fuck logs, am not the only person to have seen this, and the people who re-write the app KNOW this.

As do those who know how many weeks it may take just to bring wallet up to date, it's more than a farce, it's like handing out paper money before the tree's were chopped down to create it...

I want to spend my bitcoins today, not next fuckin year.

Is there anger in my writings? GOOD.

You think I need a beer? STOP telling me I do and buy me one.

You think I need anger management? Fix the fuckin app, that will work.

What the FUCK is bad:alloc?

I know you are just a bit coin hater troll, but I will reply anyway just for fun.

I have already given you the answer.  There is no problem with bit coin, the problem is user error.  You sir are the problem.

A:  Wrong.  You CAN use the original bitcoin app or block chain.
B: Wrong,  the bitcoin app works on cheap low end PC computers.  Not just Macs.
C:  We know you are not seriously asking a real question.  Bitcoin is less than 10 years old.  So when you troll, you get trolled back.
D:  DDOS will not work on a peer-to-peer system.  DDOS is also illegal.  DDOS is also outdated and not effective on any single server with a Comcast ISP (and others that ignore such lame flood attacks)

Anything else we can help you with?

OP is just trolling.

Why are you sad?  You do not need a new address every time you want to receive coins.
You can literally re-use the last address you used to receive coins.  Why would you think otherwise?

Ant this comes from a full member account. Either this is a troll or someone brain dead.

Kind of hard, you didn't even tell us your OS? Anything interesting in debug.log?



There's a tick box (at least in 0.9.2.1) that lets you reuse an existing address. You also can copy any address from File -> Receiving addresses.

this ma be sad but i can see his point. the bitcoin core guys need a boot in the balls. i hate the fact every time i want to receive coins it gives me a new address.

as for you problem id go into you bitcoin file where the block chain is and delete a file called peers. this should sort out you problem

Put that beer on your head, while I blindfold myself before takin a random guess at where the bullet will end up..

Hmm.. not one, 'hey, I know of the badaloc bug, nah, bitcoin app syncs just fine', sorry to burst your bubble, but it has'nt synced in over 8 weeks, including several 'start again by downloading blockchain' crap.

Well, if your all so fuckin expert, answer what the bad alloc problem is then? What no answer?

You didnt think for a second I'd expect anyone here to answer without some bullshit hops we gotta jump through.. nah, as  said in my kill bitcoin thread, leave it to the dev's.. they'll ensure you:

A: cant use the origional bitcoin app or blockchain..

B: You gotta use a bitcoin app made for supercomputers that eat the planet, and make sure the blockchain is compressed for no other reason than it'll save an hour of downloading..

C: Figure out how to stop arseholes replying instead of those who know the ANSWER to the problem..

D: Seriously ddos the blockchain.. will this work?

Indeed sir.
My mother has the same problem. 
She cannot operate iTunes to figure out how to download the free U2 Album because she gets so frustrated over small things.
When people are clear minded, they can do it.

Angry that one he is..... 

Bitcoin works for most everyone.
I see a LOT of anger in your post.
The problem is not the bit coin app. 
It sync's just fine.
The problem is that you are too angry and pissed off to operate a computer correctly.
The result is that you cannot think or function clearly, and you create problems for yourself.

Chill out and have a beer or something.
You can do it.

You could be right: nobody knows if this experiment called Bitcoin will stand the test of time.

Regardless, if you're sick of bitcoin, my advice to you is: leave. (Please leave.)

LOL, that made my day, thanks

Ffs, can ya just not leave it alone?

Who the feck gives anyone permission to mess with the actual bitcoin application? -No-one.

Where did half the bugs come from that were at one point non-existant? -Updates.

Since the latest release, I have never been able to sync, never mind spend my so called INSTANT crypto currency, why? Cause a bunch of idiots think lets change the blockchain, lets do this, lets do that, but do they EVER fix anything? -NO.

So why trust these so called 'volunteers' who mess with everyones crypto currencies? - We dont.

Since the latest version, it is now 8 weeks I have been unable to sync. I am in fact unable to do anything, for the application keeps crashing. So I try -r or -reindex, nope, FUCK ALL, always the same, go to check on it, and voila, no app running, despite making sure I started it.. now it just refuses to start.

So come on volunteer idiots, who says your updates are what we want?

We want the app to work, get it? We dont want numptie script kiddies adding their version of salt and pepper, only for the rest of us to find out the actually added FUCK ALL that benefit's ANYONE since version 1.

Fuckin idiots.

What, 10 years of updates, and no fuckin cancel payment button? But you did everything else no-one actually knows you did, you know, whatever it is that makes bitcoin work on your pc, and fuck everyone else?

I'm gettin really sick of bitcoin simply no longer working, period, I should have, if I did'nt already, point out that the death of bitcoin is already on the cards.. I mean if no-one can sync, HOW can they spend their money? They cant.

To the FUCKIN IDIOTS who cant stop messing with the application, get it fixed, or watch the blockchain suffer permanent damage..
