this doesn't make any sense! do you have any reference or more information about this.
as far as i can tell, the only thing you can "place" in the bitcoin blockchain is a short hex string using the OP_Return. how can a string be recognized as a virus?!

Just google what a virus signature is.

Why does my antivirus recognizes Bitcoin Core as a threat? Should i turn it off?

Several people have placed parts of known computer viruses in the Bitcoin block chain. This block chain data can’t infect your computer, but some anti-virus programs quarantine the data anyway, making it more difficult to run Bitcoin Core. This problem mostly affects computers running Windows.

What antivirus software are you using? Bitcoin Core should not have any issues in it and it is also one of the most widely used software.

Check your download source of the Bitcoin Core client and make sure it is from the official website:
https://bitcoin.org/en/download

Your antivirus may not be accurate but do not switch it off, just make sure the one causing trouble is not your antivirus or the 'Bitcoin Core' you are downloading.

Hello!!!
I want to ask how to mine bitcoin for newbie like me ?? Huh

Mining is not an easy job you need to wait for a couple of days i guess before earning a little big money. There are two ways or method in order for you to mine.

1. Mining using your computer - You can mine using your computer however you really need a good computer in order to mine fast or i should say a good specs in order to mine fast.

ADVANTAGES: You don't need to pay in order to mine.
DISADAVNTAGES: You'll be using your computer for a long time it's either going to over heat if it doesn't have a ventelation cooler plus you need to pay for the electricity.

CPU/GPU mining is over. You have to buy ASICs now and even with that, your ROI will be pretty bad. You could get some if you mine altcoins, but be careful when choosing. There are many worthless coins and pump-and-dump coins.

2. Cloud Mining - There are a lot of sites out there offering this kind of service so what is cloud mining? It is a service where you can mine without using your own computer or mine even offline.

So how does it work? First in order to use their service you need to pay them or rent their computer they have diff list for example 5x faster mining = 50$ for 1 year you can mine but it depends on what kind of contract youre going to chose.

ADVANTAGES: You can earn even when you're sleeping, your computer will not be tortured and you don't need to pay high because of the electricity bill.
DISADVANTAGES: You need to pay for a contract (It depends on what you've chosesn. The faster the mining the higher the rent is) and it's a bit expensive

Many sites which offer cloud mining are ponzis and scams. You should check *every* details before investing. Checking their total hashrate against total hashrate they sell can to some extent see if they are legit or not.

Question about 'sweeping' (import)

After you sweep the private keys of lets say a paper wallet to a desktop wallet like Bitcoin Core or Electrum, what happens? I have read that the balance on the paper wallet gets deducted to zero with fee and transferred to the desktop wallet,

Different between import and sweep is, former imports your private key to your wallet and it will be there until/unless you remove it. "Sweep" sends all bitcoins in the address associated to given private key to one of the addresses in your existing wallet. It does *not* store your private keys in your wallet and that means, if you want to send funds from it again, if any, you will have to import it which will store your private key in your wallet forever or sweep it if you want to move funds to your wallet.

Normally, if you want to send Bitcoin from an address which is not in your wallet, you have to import private key to your wallet, create transaction, sign it and then send/broadcast it. With "sweeping", Bitcoin in given address is send to one of the addresses in your wallet. You can select which address you want to receive it or it will send to your current "receiving" address.

Import = Store your private key
Sweep = Does *not* store your private key

If you want to send Bitcoin from a paper wallet to an address NOT in your wallet, "sweeping" is NOT the option to choose.

Quote from: EXtremeAEX on July 01, 2017, 03:34:06 AM

so does the private keys of the new desktop wallet gets changed?

Thanks!

Sweep = No
Import = No

When importing, your private key is stored *along* with your existing wallet. No changes will be made to your existing wallet.

Best current online micro-wallet for small BTC transactions without high fees?

if you are the receiver, nothing really. you should ask the person paying you to let it accumulate to a bigger amount then do the payment. the only other option i can think of (not good option though) is using an exchange wallet if you are a trader. there are some of them that have not yet increased their fees. and if you are a trader that is two birds with one stone.

if you are the sender then pay all in batches. like paying 20 people in one transaction. that way the total fee is going to be smaller than paying 20 people in 20 transactions.

1st question - I'm new to bitcoin.

I initiated a transfer, from bread, b75,000 ($260) but the network fee was b155,463 ($540) = $801.

The fee was essentially the same whether I attempted to pay the vendor directly or transfer to coinbase.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, in advance

You probably received a lot of very small amounts of bitcoin to your wallet. As a result transaction fee which are determined by the size of the transaction (which in your case tries to send a ton of those small inputs), is also high. Although $540 seems unusually excessive, unless your transaction has like a thousand inputs.
