Trinity 2017-01-15 19:00:58
having this really strange issue where armory thinks bitcoind isn't installed
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:01:08
and when I actually purge it from my system and deselect let armory run bitcoin-core
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:01:11
everything works. strange.
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:02:09
yea wtf. armory is running without bitcoin-d
MoZu4k 2017-01-15 19:05:19
how can I test out a wallet by getting btc sent to it?
MoZu4k 2017-01-15 19:05:32
can I buy some on a website and specify an address or something?
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:05:44
MoZu4k, i'm using coinbase
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:05:49
and i just received a transaction
MoZu4k 2017-01-15 19:06:21
so what do I do, create an account then provide the address to the thing trying to send it to me?
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:06:42
yea, what I did was register an account, register and confirm my bank account/credit card
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:06:54
and then I was allowed to do up to $100 purchases daily just from that
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:07:00
if you want a higher limit you need to give them more information
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:07:14
and then they'll give you a control panel with a way to send to other addresses
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:07:20
or receive into their wallet
MoZu4k 2017-01-15 19:07:36
uhh
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:10:48
MoZu4k, coinbase is a pretty large company now I think and has established enough credibility that some bitcoin devs are worried that their practices of filtering will harm the network
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:11:04
would be the only reason why I wouldn't purchase from them. All of my transactions with them so far has been super smooth
MoZu4k 2017-01-15 19:11:05
what about coinsbnk
MoZu4k 2017-01-15 19:11:13
also I'm not purchasing
MoZu4k 2017-01-15 19:11:22
but need a wallet I can receive coins at then withdraw from
MoZu4k 2017-01-15 19:11:34
as USD
MoZu4k 2017-01-15 19:14:35
Does anyone use Coinsbank?
illu 2017-01-15 19:15:33
where to download blockchain w/o torrent?
illu 2017-01-15 19:15:47
tried to connect only to known nodes, but didn't download anything
illu 2017-01-15 19:15:56
before i had "no valid block sources found"
illu 2017-01-15 19:16:30
tried with -connect=ip with a known node in my location, but doesn't do anything for about 4hours
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:16:58
illu, no idea but I have a mirror you could use if you wanted
illu 2017-01-15 19:17:07
i would like to try, yes
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:17:17
my own node that I just finished downloading. You may want to keep in mind that I may have corrupted the data
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:17:17
etc
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:17:32
i'll give PM and give you a user to login as and sftp or rsync
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:17:44
also read gribble's messages!
illu 2017-01-15 19:17:44
great =)
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:35:16
im so confused lol... how is armory getting information about transactions when bitcoin-core bitcoind and bitcoin-qt arn't even installed on my system!
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:36:11
I just made a fresh test transaction and it showed up after a few confirms
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:38:21
unless bitcoind is now inside armory? but I have let armory manage bitcoind toggled off
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:38:25
and nothing shows up in top
Xanather 2017-01-15 19:39:25
why are you using armory
Xanather 2017-01-15 19:39:28
I thought it was dead
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:39:37
Xanather, theres still support for it
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:39:43
ATI doesn't support it anymore it's opensourced now
Trinity 2017-01-15 19:39:51
