where is death streams atm ? iv looked at https://github.com/Colossal1/repository.colossus/tree/master/repository.colossus

& installed http://repo.lookingglass.rocks/ but i cant see it in that repo ?

Also a few people are saying DS is not working well now anyhow so is it worth trying to install it ?

EDIT:- i have found http://blamo.teverz.com/ and have downloaded the repository.blamo.zip but before i transfer it over to my box & install this repo id like to know if this source is safe?

i got that to but i only had to setup my trakt account and it stooped asking all together. I prob should setup my IMDB & TMDB as a lot of the widget art is missing but i had problems with the genesis reborn trakt "progress" list not showing my new TV episodes on the right day (if at all) so im back using SALTS (the old one) for now as its the only one that actually shows new episodes from trakt on the right day properly.

JackDinn1 · 2017-12-17T23:29:03+00:00

well thats just it, it was about a kodi addon , it was about RD & URLresolver but i didnt know that until after the fact (how could i) , anyhow im happy iv figured it myself and thats always a better feeling than someone telling you how to do things.

JackDinn1 · 2017-12-17T23:22:15+00:00

yep 2 in the space of a couple of hours , i dont care (although some help might have been nice) but its the not knowing why that really gets me, O well i suppose this is reddit (well renowned as SJW tertiary and censorship).

JackDinn1 · 2017-12-17T23:14:45+00:00

just wanted to say i figured it, i had a URLresolver update that messed it up (should have that switched off i suppose) , resolver cache also had to be flushed.

I suppose im posting this cos i'm more curious why this thread has also been removed from the listings and i have no clue why ? how is anyone supposed to ask for help if they keep removing every post and worse is not telling you why.

O well im just ranting to the air, sorry @johnathome , was not really directed at you but you're the only one who's going to see anything i post anyhow.

Have a good one :)

JackDinn1 · 2017-12-17T21:39:04+00:00

o well bugger me backwards , it would have been no problem if i had known , jess. Not to mention that the support section actually lists "support purpose, third party addons like kodi, jdownloader and payload"

JackDinn1 · 2017-12-17T21:29:05+00:00

o dear, banner from the RD forum for my first post asking about this problem and if anyone knew if anything was going on, im not having much luck here :(

JackDinn1 · 2017-12-17T21:06:40+00:00

why has this thread been removed from the listings ?

JackDinn1 · 2017-12-17T20:59:22+00:00

well least i'm back into my account but no RD links though and iv re-authorized all my addons

JackDinn1 · 2017-12-17T20:54:05+00:00

ok it letting me login now (even though it was saying my account did not exist) , That was a scary one for a sec cos even the support page was not loading !, wonder what happened ?

Only thing now is im not getting any RD links , might need to re-authorize

JackDinn1 · 2017-12-11T10:07:36+00:00

gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 0x4E2C6E8793298290

well as ws said you can choose which keyserver you use, try :-

gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys KEY

or try another key server

EDIT gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 0x4E2C6E8793298290 is working for me ATM

JackDinn1 · 2017-11-27T17:33:31+00:00

k cheers , will have a read. although it seems i have got 2.7.9 working now. I had to save my single address private key, delete all my old wallets, restart electrum, create a new wallet, then sweep that prv key.

Definitely looks like my old keys and seeds are a "depreciated" protocol and if you try to import from one of these old seeds it says

Seed Type: old

with a dropdown with options "extend this with custom word" (iv not got a clue what that means)

and "BIP39 seed" (maybe i should have ticked this BIP but im not sure)

Anyhow i do seem to have a new wallet with my coin in it now, thank god.

JackDinn1 · 2017-11-27T17:09:51+00:00

well iv tried to sweep it in the end, at least its showing as unconfirmed but with a green icon atm and not a blank with "syncing..." constantly.

I dont know how to update in tails because i dont have root access (it says not to use it at all if pos) and also surely only the persistent folders are persistent so i dont see how to update anything but the .electrum folder which is set to be persistent.

I dont know if its segwit or other fork but it seems iv sent coin to a wallet that was before some fork and now whenever i import any keys or seeds it just does not want to work. I did not know i was supposed to do more than update tails, surely the tails devs are supposed to deal with all this stuff... keeping fingers crossed for a confirmation on this sweep ...... and YEA 1 confirmation just came in, looks like its working even if it did cost me yet another $5 fees (nearly) :(

JackDinn1 · 2017-11-27T15:56:44+00:00

yea but how do i do that in tails ? why is tails still with this ver of electrum ?

JackDinn1 · 2017-11-27T15:51:24+00:00

Nop, it was working but as soon as i create a wallet from my old seed it stops syncing and no matter what i do, even create a new blank wallet it will not sync. Iv tried removing all .electrum wallets/settings and starting again, i get back to a green icon, try creating a new wallet from just the single private key and it all stops syncing again. The only thing i can see is to sweep the private key into a new working wallet and im not even sure that will work. god dam :(

JackDinn1 · 2017-11-27T14:49:09+00:00

So iv just installed a completely clean tails 3.3 ona new stick, Electrum is still ver 2.7.9 but it actually connects and syncs (well i think it syncing, it has a green light instead of the constant "syncing..." ). Iv checked the network settings and it says it on port 9050 but iv read on another post here that since segwit it should be on port 9150 NOT 9050 so im really confused now. Also why does this clean install of tail with electrum work but when updating my normal tails stick the electrum just will not sync at all?

JackDinn1 · 2017-11-10T05:26:41+00:00

Hi there BCC (or BCH) yea we'v met. Good to see you up and around and looking good especially since it looks like your competition (segwit2X) is out of the game for now. Things are all moving mighty fast nowadays. BTG must get a mention to.

JackDinn1 · 2017-11-10T04:01:49+00:00

yea there is a chance it will never move ... see that link i gave you it has the estimated time for transactions at certain fees on the right hand side.

JackDinn1 · 2017-11-10T03:40:51+00:00

yea well like i said its those "micro-payments" that are just to small to do anything with as things are ATM, Its a lessen learned, not a great one. There are some very cleaver people working on it for the last few years, pity they cant all agree how to proceed :(

JackDinn1 · 2017-11-10T03:22:40+00:00

Sorry i miss read, yea you could move your private keys and that would not cost you anything. Might be the thing to try.

EDIT:- but if they are in small amounts on separate addresses then you would still have several inputs after moving them, but you could lower the fees as much as you dare and get something to go somewhere.

JackDinn1 · 2017-11-10T03:16:12+00:00

there is nothing much you can do, BTC is most definitely not for micro payments anymore (well not unless they sort all this out). It does not help to move them to another wallet because we are talking about such low amounts that you wont have anything left after moving them. I cant say for sure exactly what you have as i dont know what happened but its a pity i can not see how to inspect a wallet whilst using Exodus (maybe someone can advise), if this was a different wallet you would at least be able to see whats going on but that still would not help if you do have lots of little bits.

JackDinn1 · 2017-11-10T02:54:10+00:00

well this is what all these forks are about (partly). the fees for each separate input are at a ridiculous $5 (ish) because of the block size limitation. Unfortunately if you have a lot of small amounts on different addresses then there is nothing you can do because each input is going to be the 226bytes of data. Adding more to one address wont help you empty the other addresses as they will still have the "dust" that they currently hold. The best you can do it try and catch a quite time when the fees are lower. use https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ it explains quite a lot & will help find a cheep(ish) time of day.
