1041  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: The confirmation of the payment is more then 24 hours delayed on: December 10, 2017, 06:46:39 PM
I wait more then 3 days already and my transactions have the same status :-(

Do you have the transaction id?  What brand of ATM did you use?  If the particular ATM is using fees that are too low, it will help others avoid using them.

I have Gemini account where futures will be launched 6:00 p.m. EST on Sunday December 10th, 2017.  Can only trade BTC, ETH, and BTC/ETH.  Site is slow and order book display is difficult to read.  Anyone else notice anything good or bad?  Thanks

This really doesn't belong in the Bitcoin "Development & Technical Discussion" section, but:
Where have you seen that futures will be traded on Gemini?  It is trading on the Cboe Futures Exchange other various brokers will have it (1). Gemini is used for pricing(2).

Some brokers are listed here:

I would like more information on why my account was hacked and bitcoin stolen.  I read there was an issue with blockchain and they fixed it and are refunding those who were stolen.  Its been a long time and I haven't heard from anyone.  Can you help me? 

Can you tell us where you read this?  And like others asked, are you referring to blockchain.info or something else?

1044  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Status: 0/unconfirmed, not in memory pool, abandoned - 3 YEAR OLD transaction! on: December 10, 2017, 06:36:07 PM
So guys, is there any way I can abandon the transaction and get the bitcoins back into my wallet?

Would be helpful if you provided the transaction id.
for what? Its not found in any website..


Since you broadcasted the transaction years ago, and have tried abandon transaction and zapwallettxes.
I just assumed that maybe at least 1 node picked it up and it somehow got stucked in their mempool for years. Grin

Well anyway, tried this? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=35214.0
No I haven't, but I don't see how it could be different from --zapwallettxes =1

Have you checked the address(es) to ensure that the coins are still there? 

And while doing anything, make sure you have a few backups of the wallet.dat.



1045  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Tracking down stolen Bitcoins on: December 09, 2017, 04:59:37 PM
its very hard to track down. perhaps this is one of the down side of Bitcoin

It is only a downside for people who want to control and have power over other people - socialists, communists, fascists, dictators and any other authoritarian governments.  For people who like freedom, this is a plus, although even more privacy would be nice.
1046  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: unconfirmed for over 24 hours on: December 08, 2017, 02:35:35 AM
yes, i saw that post, however, I am not that technical, can someone tell me if this transaction looks clean, and if it will eventually confirm?
It is clean insofar as it doesn't generate any dust UTXOs, and it isn't spending from any unconfirmed parent transactions.

The only "problem" seems to be the low fees... current recommended fees are in the 350-400 sats/byte level, this transaction only pays 100 sats/byte. Undecided

It *should* confirm at some point, but given the current network congestion of 170,000+ unconfirmed transactions, it could take a while for fees to drop back to a "normal" level and for this transaction to be included by a miner. As suggested, try the ViaBTC accelerator... otherwise, your only option is to simply wait.


I will try viabtc again, however, earlier i tried it, and it told me maximum request received, please try again later. Will the network eventually forget about my transaction if it takes too long to confirm and return it to the sender or is that unlikely?

to be clear, this was sent to my poloniex account for trading, and the sender sent it from his blockchain wallet.  What about using a paid service such as btc.com? they are accepting payments in bitcoin cash and say they can get it confirmed in a short period time. I am really worried that the network will forget. I also don't want this to turn into a double spend. could the sender screw me here in any way?

Like I said before, try viabtc right at the top of the hour, e.g.
xx:00:00

Make sure you use the clock on your phone or computer so they are accurate.

Everything looks fine, except the fee is low.

You are right from what I saw, it just has a lower few. He could also try child pays for parent -explained in that  link along with accelerators.

Hi,

yes, i saw that post, however, I am not that technical, can someone tell me if this transaction looks clean, and if it will eventually confirm? I read that post and I am actually beginning to worry now, all kinds of things could happen.

Thank-you kindly

It does look okay to me.  You might try this

https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/

Try it right at the top of the hour since it only takes a limited number of submissions.

Also the child pays for parent is easy in some software. I’m not sure about blockchain.info though.

1048  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-17-05] Bitcoin Price Will Hit $20,000 Before Tanking: Financial Expert on: December 08, 2017, 01:52:44 AM
Bitcoin can easily touch $20,000 before anything goes wrong. I think it is way beyond imagination as last month the biggest goal for 2k17 was to achieve $10,000 and now that seems to be a past and we are heading towards new goal. Bitcoin has really gained over the couple of days making it one of the most volatile currency and at the same time most beneficial investment for the holders who even bought 30 days ago are really at high profit.

I wouldn't call the path to 20k an easy one. Bithumb is pushing the prices up like crazy but anything can change in an instant if a whale decides to crash the market. If you watch the orders closely you'll see that most people are holding now and enjoying the ride. There are not that many sell or buy orders and it takes very little money to move the price by another $1000. Unfortunately it also takes very little to go down as the buy orders are starting to pile up at least 10k below this ATH that we are at.

At 8:27am US pacific time it hit $19,340 on Coinbase.  I don’t know if it got slightly higher or not, because that was when Coinbase started having capacity issues. So it almost hit $20,000 today.

1050  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Antminer s7 firmware problem on: December 08, 2017, 01:45:14 AM
Hello, this is my first time using this site. (and no offense, but I hope it's my last because I'm only here to get help.) First, I'm 14 years old, and have an Antminer S7. It's been running smoothly ever since late January of this year. Just a day ago, the red LED came on and it stopped mining. I went to the IP and it had x.x.x.x for hardware version, and no information for cgminer version. I troubleshooted some and found out it was that the firmware had been lost. I reflashed a new version of the firmware, and it didn't work. I reset it using the button next to the LEDs. That didn't work. I've been kinda sad, as I've made over 7K with that machine. Please help.


                                                  Sincerely,
                                                         A very confused kid
 

Hi,
Try moving the question here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=40.0

There will probably be more people that can help there vs the bitcoin technical support section.

Good luck!

... and without any visible reasons to it
...

Let me tell you a few reasons:
1. CBOE Bitcoin futures
2. CME Bitcoin futures
3. NASDAQ Bitcoin futures
4. Likely ETF approval in the near future as the introduction of the futures increases the maturity of the whole BTC environment
5. Dark Net use of BTC is on the decline, which results in increased legitimacy
6. Failing currencies in countries like Venezuela
7. FOMO buying due to increased media coverage fueled by the big price rise
8. Increased awareness of BTC due to increased media coverage
9. The influx of (backed or unbacked?) Tethers, especially in the case of a BTC price dip
...



10. Lightning implementation interoperability tests successful.

1054  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-12-16] Bitcoin Blasts Past $12,000 on: December 06, 2017, 06:25:29 PM
There was no resistance at the $12K level at all. I wasn't expecting a significant resistance, especially not like the one we had at the $10K level, but I was expecting something. This was almost too easy Smiley I think the next big threshold is going to be $15K, although judging by how fast the price is blowing by every threshold, the next significant resistance might even be at $25K.

Hopefully we’ll find out soon. 😀

But I agree it blew from 12000 to 12087 in a minute or two.

No, nothing like that.  And if it was purchased between 2006 and 2008, it wasn’t bitcoin - the first block was mined in Jan 2009.
1056  Other / Off-topic / Re: Pump and Dump on: December 06, 2017, 06:17:33 PM
What is the exact meaning of pump. I heard that lot of peoples are making money using PUMPs. As I understand, pump will limit to a certain period of time duration. So at the end of the pump diffidently all the last participant will be caused a loss or not? And what is the meaning of DUMP? Please provide me any reference Bitcointalk link for this coz I couldn't find any explanation here. If some one can explain this clearly, it will be very help for me and others who are looking for this explanation.

Pump: people buy something (bitcoin in this case) causing the price to go up causing more people to buy - pump up the price
Dump: sell something, presumably before the price drops again.

I am trying to help out a friend who bought some bitcoin a while ago and has vague records and recollection of the details of the transaction.



Does he have a wallet? Did he use an online wallet?  Did he buy using a credit card? Bank account?  Does he have any more info? What records?
1058  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Transfer Coinbase to Spectrocoin: confirmed but not received? on: December 06, 2017, 12:51:26 PM
I attempted a few days ago to make a transfer from my Coinbase account to an account based on Spectrocoin.
On the payment page, I could see two options. One was pointing to a bitcoin:// link, which could not open since I have no software on my pc, the other was via a Spectrocoin account, which I didn't have (with funds)

So I sent the funds from Coinbase using the Accounts > Send interface.
I transferred the funds to the address provided by the Spectrocoin page. On it, there was a timer, which I think was 15 minutes, but the transaction on Coinbase started out as "pending" and remained pending for around 12 hours.

Eventually, the transaction did go through, and Coinbase gives a link that reports its details (though for some reason they are slightly different).
but the address is the same.

However, the person I'm sending the bitcoin to said that they didn't receive the funds. Trusting this person (and I do), it seems the funds are now with Spectrocoin.
I have contacted the Spectrocoin helpdesk as I was considering moving my funds to them from Coinbase, given the recent problems that I've had with the latter. But clearly if this happens again, then how am I supposed to trust either Coinbase or Spectrocoin with my funds?

Am I missing something? Isn't bitcoin supposed to be secure and easy? This was only my second transaction and I feel like everything is way more complicated than the bitcoin evangelists make it appear...

And by the way, I'm from the EU but for some reason, on Spectrocoin:
"Users from Your country are not allowed to submit documents for verification"



If you have a transaction ID, people will be able to help.  It sounds like Spectrocoin has the coins.  If coinbase.com shows the transaction, then that tells you a lot about Spectrocoin if they say they don't have them.

Bitcoin is easy to use and secure.  If you handed Euros to a random person on the street (Spectrocoin) and then they (possibly) scammed you, would you say the Euro wasn't secure?  Of course not.  Ditto if you gave them to a bank that you hadn't verified they were legit.

In short, don't use online wallets unless you know they are legit and reliable.  Coinbase is pretty much that way and although they do have growing pains, they aren't scammers.  Use Electrum or Bitcoin Core - ONLY from the official web sites of course.

Update: They began doing so in April this year:
