htafdresgi - You can import the pkey into bitcoin core without a problem.
Michail1 2017-01-12 15:50:31
As for phone, you can import it into mycelium.
Michail1 2017-01-12 15:50:52
Obviously others support importing, but those are the two wallets I use and both support it.
htafdresgi 2017-01-12 15:50:59
Michail1: thanks, is mycelium open source?
Michail1 2017-01-12 15:51:13
In fact, you can even import it into a blockchain.info wallet if you want a webwallet.
Michail1 2017-01-12 15:51:30
mycelium source is available, but it's servers are not open source.
htafdresgi 2017-01-12 15:51:56
oh okay, I was wondering why it wasn't on f-droid
htafdresgi 2017-01-12 15:52:19
blockchain.info allows following an address, but I wasn't able to import a private key.
Michail1 2017-01-12 15:52:21
I really doubt there are many of any type of wallet that will not let you import a pkey. They should all at least let you sweep a key
htafdresgi 2017-01-12 15:53:10
yes, blockchain.info allows sweep
Michail1 2017-01-12 15:53:22
not true. You can import a pkey. Unless something has changed recently. I can check, but if it's a pkey you want to keep using, you really should be using a real wallet anyway instead of a web wallet.
htafdresgi 2017-01-12 15:53:55
so a real wallet is an app wallet?
Michail1 2017-01-12 15:54:18
no.
htafdresgi 2017-01-12 15:54:36
what do you consider a real wallet then?
Michail1 2017-01-12 15:54:48
I mean a real wallet as in software you run. But, really really a hardware wallet to be safest.
Michail1 2017-01-12 15:55:06
Even better, you should only use an address once instead of the same pkey.
htafdresgi 2017-01-12 15:56:05
so I'm thinking of dipping my toe into bitcoin, by buying $20 worth of it.
Michail1 2017-01-12 15:56:10
pkey being the ability to spend from a publically known address. That public address should be used once.
htafdresgi 2017-01-12 15:56:26
so I can trade it for namecoin, so I can buy some .bit addresses for zeronet
Michail1 2017-01-12 15:56:51
htafdresgi - Good idea. Start small. Play with it to learn how things work before you go and screw off more than $20. I have blown away a lot more than that in learning.
Michail1 2017-01-12 15:57:44
Yes, you can trade bitcoin for namecoin. You can't BUY a .bit address, but you can register it just like a .com; however, opendns doesn't support it. So, it's an issue in use currently.
htafdresgi 2017-01-12 15:58:12
well zeronet supports it, and that's good enough for me.
Michail1 2017-01-12 15:58:59
k
htafdresgi 2017-01-12 15:59:27
what is the recommended transfer cost when I'm trying to get a transaction through?
htafdresgi 2017-01-12 16:00:39
I think ZeroNet is the future of the internet. DDOS and censorship proof.
fibonacci 2017-01-12 16:08:14
Bought 1.25 btc :P
fibonacci 2017-01-12 16:08:27
Not much but a start
Michail1 2017-01-12 16:08:32
recommended depends on the network. How many are in front of you and how fast you want it to confirm.
fibonacci 2017-01-12 16:08:55
I mean 1.25 million btc :P
Michail1 2017-01-12 16:09:10

fibonacci 2017-01-12 16:09:44
1541 btc
Michail1 2017-01-12 16:09:56
That shows that the current 'recommended' fee is 70sats per byte. So, it's really cheap right now; however, that's less than 10cent per transaction.
fibonacci 2017-01-12 16:10:41
Regardless of tx size?
Michail1 2017-01-12 16:10:57
I'm pretty agressive with trolling.
s17 2017-01-12 16:12:20
per byte -> tx size
FibonacciCoin 2017-01-12 16:14:51
Mmhmmmm
htafdresgi 2017-01-12 16:15:19
so if I wanted to transfer $20 how much would that cost?
Michail1 2017-01-12 16:15:58
Ideally, about 10cent (currently); however it depends on the number of inputs make up the total for how much space it takes in the blockchain.
htafdresgi 2017-01-12 16:16:11
or 0.02BTC
htafdresgi 2017-01-12 16:17:06
oh okay, so 0.0001BTC would be the transaction cost?
Michail1 2017-01-12 16:17:28
sure
