Is there a sandbox in Bitcoin for testing, so that I can create sample bitcoins without mining and do transactions for testing purposes?

My wallet hasn’t synchronized, can I make a transfer?

I’m assuming that the transaction will not come up on my wallet but im guessing it would come up on the person I send too?

In the “Finances” tab on https://btc-e.com/ you can enter your BTC-E Code there.

What is this about?

For me, scripts are one of the most interesting features of Bitcoin. They provide possibilities which have no equivalent in classical currencies. However, the wiki states

It is purposefully not Turing-complete, with no loops.

1. What’s the rationale behind this decision?
2. Are there any proposals for useful contracts which would only be possible in a Turing complete script implementation?
3. Are there any alternative crypto currencies with Turing complete scripts? If so, how do they solve the problems from 1?

I’m looking for an opensource crypto-currency exchange engine.

My preference would be for something easy to use like joomla or drupal. My exchange setup needs support for alt-coins and bitcoin.

I have discovered intersango myself. However, sql file is corrupted, there is no creation of tables and import does not work. Plus it is bitcoin exchange only (and I need alt-coin support). Site of this exchange with “invites only”, registration is closed.

Is there something super-simple that I can use to get started?

A friend of mine gave me two bitcoins which I now want to sell. I don’t understand the process which would enable me send the funds generated to my bank account.

I did a bitcoin transaction of 216 BTC from the 50BTC mining-pool to my wallet (Bitcoin-Qt).

It has been 3 days now and I have not received anything yet.

I’ve tried to search my address on blockchain.info and it doesn’t come up.

I’ve forgotten my wallets password. Luckly I haven’t got any bitcoins yet, still reading about bitcoins. My question is, now do I reset or create a new password for my wallet?

Does anyone have an idea of where can I find a copy of the bitcoin source code. I mean doesn’t it supposed to be open source, where is the open source project for bitcoin so I can read the code.

I’m using Ubuntu 12.04.

I’ve tested several scripts that try to get bitcoind running on startup but none have worked out for me.

I’m getting a little bit desperate because I can’t even get bitcoind running once I exit my SSH session.

Any clues on how to get bitcoind running once I exit the SSH session?

Best Regards,
