1 2017-03-06 00:51:10 <ruid> I want to play around on the testnet.  How do I create a wallet, and get receive addresses?  listreceivedbyaddress is empty.
 2 2017-03-06 02:04:51 <praxeology> ruid you still there?
 3 2017-03-06 07:54:10 <bit7_> can some kind soul please help me with the NBitcoin C# Library ? I am having some issues with Sending of Bitcoins to a TestNet Test Wallet. Thank You. :)
 4 2017-03-06 08:12:00 <bit7_> any kind soul can help me with coding a program in C# with the NBitcoin Library ? :)
 5 2017-03-06 08:41:24 <fnb_theory> bit7_ you still need help with NBitcoin?
 6 2017-03-06 08:51:58 <bit7_> FnB_Theory - may i please kindly ask if you are still there sir ? :D
 7 2017-03-06 08:54:12 <fnb_theory> yeah I'm here bit7_, where are you getting stuck?
 8 2017-03-06 08:54:41 <bit7_> validateaddress http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/51895/subject-code-in-book-programming-the-blockchain-in-c-community-edition
 9 2017-03-06 08:55:00 <bit7_> sorry to cut it short - i have went to the bitcoin stack exchange to ask on this issue
10 2017-03-06 08:55:50 <bit7_> may i please kindly ask your kind self to read the whole article at the bitcoin stack exchange ... sorry for the inconveniences :)
11 2017-03-06 08:56:39 <fnb_theory> yeah, read it. I'll answer you on there. I think I still have an account lying somewhere
12 2017-03-06 08:57:14 <bit7_> Thank you very much for your time and kind help FnB_Theory ... I really appreciate it very much !!! :D
13 2017-03-06 08:57:28 <fnb_theory> no problem.
14 2017-03-06 09:19:09 <bit7_> if you get the code to work,  please post a reply on the forum and message me here so I will know to check out the forum for updates.  Thank you
15 2017-03-06 09:21:33 <fnb_theory> I've posted an answer.
16 2017-03-06 09:35:32 <bit7_> Dear Fnb_Theory - When i compiled the code using your Bitcoin Address Function, the Visual Studio Compiler gives an error message. Can you please take a look at the Stack Exchange Thread again ... Thank You for your help :)
17 2017-03-06 09:41:33 <fnb_theory> check out my reply.
18 2017-03-06 09:43:46 <bit7_> Thank you FnB_Theory - I am compiling my code and will test it out now :)
19 2017-03-06 09:52:18 <bit7_> Dear FnB_Theory - I posted a reply on the Thread - It is not working for some reason ... can you please kindly take a look again and help out ... :)
20 2017-03-06 10:13:59 <bit7_> Dear FnB_Theory - may i please kindly ask how can i configure BitPay wallet to use the TestNet network ? Thank You.
21 2017-03-06 10:48:23 <fnb_theory> Hi bit7_, if you create a new wallet in copay, there is an advanced section that you can expand during the create process. It'll ask you if you'd like to use testnet. Toggle that switch.
22 2017-03-06 10:48:38 <fnb_theory> In order to get money into that wallet, you can use a bitcoin testnet faucet
23 2017-03-06 10:50:15 <bit7_> do i need bitcoin core to use bitpay ?
24 2017-03-06 10:52:14 <fnb_theory> as in, running a bitcoin node?
25 2017-03-06 10:52:54 <bit7_> sorry - i meant if i want to use BitPay wallet software and send and receive bitcoins - do i need to use bitcoin core ?
26 2017-03-06 10:53:29 <bit7_> or can i simply just instll bitpay and send and receive bitcoins without any need for bitcoin core
27 2017-03-06 10:53:56 <fnb_theory> yeah, you don't need to be running a Biicoin node. Copay/BitPay will connect to its own.
28 2017-03-06 11:01:09 <bit7_> Thank you very much for your kind help and time - I need to compile my code again ... FnB_Theory - Thank You !!! :)
29 2017-03-06 11:02:52 <fnb_theory> No problem bit7_, let me know if you need any more help.
30 2017-03-06 11:43:44 <bit7_> FnB_Theory - somehow the bitpay testing is not working ... i use bitpay as a test wallet to receive bitcoins from my program and it is not coming in ... but if i send bitcoins from a testnet faucet it works ... it is almost as if there is something about the C# code in the program that is not working somewhere ... :(
31 2017-03-06 11:44:03 <bit7_> i have tested 2 wallets on testnet and it is not working too
32 2017-03-06 11:44:33 <bit7_> perhaps can you recommend a good c# bitcoin library that i can just use to write a simple bitcoin transaction program ? Thank You :D
33 2017-03-06 11:48:00 <fnb_theory> I think what I can do is send you some working code. NBitcoin is the best C#, and only afaik, library out there right now.
34 2017-03-06 11:48:25 <bit7_> yes please thank you very much for the code ... how can you send the code to me ?
35 2017-03-06 17:26:55 <bit7_> can any kind souls please spare a few testnet bitcoins to my testnet wallet please?
36 2017-03-06 17:27:03 <shesek> I made a time-locked-weighted (via CSV) voting system this past weekend for a hackathon, would love to hear what you think :)
37 2017-03-06 17:27:14 <shesek> https://hodl.voting/  https://www.docdroid.net/rzFKS1g/proof-of-hodl.pdf.html
38 2017-03-06 17:27:53 <shesek> (running on testnet, hackathon-grade quality :-)
39 2017-03-06 17:28:33 <shesek> source is available here: https://github.com/shesek/proof-of-hodl, including a cli tool to create the HODL proofs locally
40 2017-03-06 17:31:41 <bit7_> does any kind souls know of a web based test wallet which will give me a secret key?
41 2017-03-06 17:32:07 <bit7_> please also recommend a website that gives test bitcoin ?  Thank you
42 2017-03-06 17:41:04 <molz_> bit7_, what's your testnet address?
43 2017-03-06 17:41:14 <molz_> bit7_, send me in pm
44 2017-03-06 17:41:36 <molz_> not sure if the bot might kick you if you post an address here
45 2017-03-06 17:44:55 <bit7_> how do I pm you?
46 2017-03-06 17:45:44 <molz_> type: /query molz_
47 2017-03-06 18:48:47 <praxeology> Any plans to drop support of 32 bit builds?
48 2017-03-06 18:49:14 <praxeology> Who still uses a 32 bit computer these days?
49 2017-03-06 18:49:18 <wumpus> not in general
50 2017-03-06 18:49:49 <wumpus> many small VPSes are still 32 bit, and ARM is mostly 32-bit too (although 64 bit is becoming more popular there too)
51 2017-03-06 18:50:16 <wumpus> there was discussion of dropping the 32-bit windows build at some point, but there's no urgent motivation to do so.
52 2017-03-06 18:51:41 <praxeology> if i use uint64_t, and fopen64, and do basic arithmetic on the uint64_t, would that cause any problem with a 32-bit build?
53 2017-03-06 18:51:53 <wumpus> no
54 2017-03-06 18:52:11 <praxeology> ok good
55 2017-03-06 18:52:44 <praxeology> I guess its all define macro'd so it works seamlessly?
56 2017-03-06 18:53:13 <wumpus> compilers are smart enough to do 64-bit arithmethic on 32-bit architectures
57 2017-03-06 18:53:37 <wumpus> in additions it's just a matter of propagating the carry, for multiplications it's slightly more involved unless the CPU
58 2017-03-06 18:53:54 <wumpus> has a 32x32->64 or 32x32->32hi instruction, as most do
59 2017-03-06 18:54:19 <wumpus> in any case it's not something you need to worry about while writing C/C++
60 2017-03-06 18:55:07 <praxeology> alright, because I'm trying to make utxo backup states in single files, and soon enough the utxo set will be > 2GB and I wanted to be sure it would still work on the 32 bit build :)
61 2017-03-06 18:55:59 <wumpus> there are some filesystems that don't support >2GB or >4GB files, but it has nothing to do with the bitness of the processor
62 2017-03-06 18:57:00 <Diablo-D3> good ole signed ints.
63 2017-03-06 18:59:43 <praxeology1> uh, did I miss any reply? I was disconnected
64 2017-03-06 19:18:36 <praxeology> wumpus was that you answering my questions about 32/64 bit? thanks.  cheers.
65 2017-03-06 23:37:42 <ginseng> what is the total approximate size of the full blockchain with pruning enabled?
66 2017-03-06 23:38:29 <praxeology> ginseng: about prune leave count blocks * 1MB
67 2017-03-06 23:39:27 <praxeology> plus the unspent transaction data is 2GB
68 2017-03-06 23:39:46 <praxeology> but that is not technically the "blockhain", but it is necessary data
69 2017-03-06 23:40:21 <praxeology> plus blockheadersize * tip height
70 2017-03-06 23:41:21 <praxeology> plus the block index is about 70MB
71 2017-03-06 23:41:22 <ginseng> praxeology: ok. are all 450k blocks prunable?
72 2017-03-06 23:41:47 <praxeology> You can't prune to the tip because of concern for forks
73 2017-03-06 23:42:44 <ginseng> how close to the tip can you prune?
74 2017-03-06 23:43:26 <praxeology> but you could prune to only have say 6*24*30 blocks would be fine, thats 4.3GB, only double the unspent transaction data
75 2017-03-06 23:43:45 <praxeology> 6*24*30 is 30 days, which is probably waaay more than a fork would last
76 2017-03-06 23:44:06 <ginseng> i mean, the user would not configure this right? bitcoin core must have some defaults set
77 2017-03-06 23:44:20 <ginseng> i should have specified that i plan to use bitcoin core
78 2017-03-06 23:44:47 <ginseng> ultimately i am hoping to run a full node with <20GB space
79 2017-03-06 23:46:37 <praxeology> yea 20GB should be fine.  the command line options for pruning says 550MB, but it doesn't really say its the default or a suggestion
80 2017-03-06 23:46:55 <praxeology> 550 is about 3.8 days
81 2017-03-06 23:49:59 <ginseng> ok cool. thanks. pruning may make running a full node viable again
