Service to send Bitcoins or Altcoins over a specific amount of time? Doing it Decentralized?

On By tzereIn bitcoinLeave a comment

Is there a service that lets you send Bitcoins or more interestingly Altcoins to an address over a set amount of time. Say for example I wanted to give allowance to my daughter every week for the next year at $10 each time. This might have to be done centralized or how would this be implemented on a decentralized manner?

Inheritance and Bitcoins

On By tzereIn bitcoinLeave a comment

A basic economic property of any currency is the ability to hold its value in the long term. While Bitcoin’s ability to hold its value is evident, since there is no central authority to control the flow of BitCoins and the current traditional method of transfer of value from a deceased person to their legal heir’s depend a lot on a central authority, how could inheritance work with bitcoins. This is not a open ended question asking for opinions but an attempt into finding if the protocol or any other system has been attempted in this direction. This could include both planned transfers and those that are not planned for.

Wallet not updating with balance and database error

On By tzereIn bitcoinLeave a comment

I’m fairly new to using bitcoins and have been having some trouble with my wallet. I bought bitcoins on coinbase and transferred them to my bitcoin core wallet. The transaction was confirmed with 616 confirmations, but it has been several days and the balance has not shown up in my wallet. At the time, the wallet was was synchronizing with the network for what must have been a total of 24+ hours and was less than half way there. Last night, before it was done synchronizing, I got a database error and now it’s “Reindexing blocks on disk” and is 3 years behind. Are my bitcoins lost or will they be visible in my wallet once my wallet is done reindexing?

Can I exchange BTC from CoinBase?

On By tzereIn bitcoinLeave a comment

I have read the articles in the BitCoin website and I thought of implementing the BitCoin payment method in my website.

I registered at a payment processor website called “CoinBase”. Unfortunately my country is not supported for the Buy & Sell feature.
I am thinking of accepting payments and later using some sort of exchange website to cash out. If I do start accepting BTC should I store them in the CoinBase wallet or use something like BitCoin Core? I am asking this because I heard that some BitCoin services steal the BitCoins from their customers and run off. Other than that, storing them online is probably more comfortable.
Could I get some suggestions on good exchange websites?

Thanks in advanced.

How should one manage the Bitcoin blockchain on a Linux laptop with limited storage?

On By tzereIn bitcoinLeave a comment

I want to run Bitcoin-Qt on a laptop that has limited storage (it has an SSD and is used for many purposes that all require a bit of hard drive space). Assuming these hardware limitations, what would be a good way to manage the blockchain?

So, to be clear, I cannot store the blockchain on the laptop and I want to be able to make regular transactions portably on the laptop.
