Since you didn't mentioned the option that I gave you,
I suppose removing the wallet's password while offline to manually get the keys from the wallet didn't worked because it crashed regardless of the offline status?
Have you tried increasing the machine's "paging file" to a very large amount (restart it) and see if it'll stabilize?

-snip- As for the wallet already being there when I installed Electrum it makes me wonder what are the odds I would randomly select a wallet that just happened to already be on my computer?
There's a certain chance that it'll be pre-selected. Since it's in the data directory where the configuration file is included where the previously loaded wallet directories are listed, chances that it'll be the first wallet that a newly installed Electrum will show during its " Install Wizard" screen, you wont even have to setup the wallet since its already there, it'll just open. You can add the password in the wallet menu if it's not encrypted. ( sounds familiar?) Plus the data directory isn't deleted if the previous owner deleted/uninstalled Electrum. Why? Is there a chance that the PC was someone else's? Because that's a good start since you can ask him if he used Electrum before and the whereabouts of that address. |

Yes I made a back for my wallet. For some reason, Armory is now Online/connected, but still the transaction does not appear and my wallet is empty :-(
It's online because you left Bitcoin Core running and Armory found it. The balance is zero because Armory hasn't done preparing its database yet since Bitcoin Core isn't synced. All you need to do is to wait for it to fully sync in order for your transaction to appear. If both Armory and Bitcoin Core are configured with default data directories and you have enough free space in that dir ( about 600GB+ total), simply running Armory and let it manage Bitcoin Core should be sufficient to fully sync the wallet within the estimated time you saw in Bitcoin Core. If you do not want to download and store all that data, follow to the link provided by Bitmaxz above. |

I opened two other wallets at the advice of what turned out to be a couple suspicious characters on another forum. This was about a week ago after discovering the problem with the Electrum wallet. I attempted to buy a small amount of bc for a blockchain.com wallet but the transaction did not go through because they thought I may have been a victim of a scam and wanted further verification (selfie, official ID, dated note, etc.). Perhaps the 1N8vh... "address" instead of a bc1q address triggered an alarm or something, I don't know. I decided to forego the transaction and return to attempting to resolve the electrum wallet. That's when I found this forum. I also opened a Trust wallet that I have done nothing with.
So those wallets are just created recently and not before creating your Electrum wallet? If so, the address can't be from any of those. If not and those are before Electrum: it's worth to check those wallet's address list if it belongs there. For the additional info requested by blockchain.com ( not affiliated with Bitcoin), it's mandatory to their Buy/Sell and Exchange services. nc501c, I can assure you I did not paste anything from the clipboard into the program. I don't even know how to use a clipboard. I have no idea where this 1N8vh... number came from.
Then the wallet is created by someone else or as mentioned above, already there when you installed Electrum. It's possible since Electrum's data directory is separate from the install directory and wont be deleted during uninstall. There also inconsistencies that leads to my suspicion that you've totally misremembered what happened. |

With stuff like this I always think they make it as hard as possible for people to get out their old bitcoin holdings, so they can at some point take those holdings for themselves. Is this here the case, or is it not possible for the owner to access the funds?
The old version is still recoverable using their backup phrase which isn't BIP39 seed phrase but only a way to access the user's login credentials which is the " Wallet ID" and " Password". And during that time, users are given a encrypted json copy of their wallet file in their Email which can be used to recover their Bitcoins. The major issue is with the very first version which only has the " Alias" that can't be used to login today. But IIRC, I've seen some successful recovery of such wallet through their slow customer support by providing the required info. To see if there are successful attempts of recovery of old blockchain(.)info wallets, browse through this board: Service Discussion > Web Wallets |

BitcoindError: bitcoind not found
2023-03-25 11:36:21 (INFO) -- ArmoryQt.py:1872 - setSatoshiPaths
2023-03-25 11:36:21 (ERROR) -- BDM.pyc:268 - setSatoshiDir: directory does not exist: C:\Users\Asus\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin
Have you installed Bitcoin Core in a different directory as well as its data directory? Because it seems like a pathing issue and bitcoind can't be launched either. Refer to this guide to setup the correct path to your Bitcoin data/install directory: https://btcarmory.com/docs/pathingAlternatively, you can set it all in the GUI in " File->Settings": " Bitcoin Install Dir" should point to the directory where Bitcoin Core is installed. " Bitcoin Home Dir" should point to your bitcoin data directory. |

|
|
For starters, just follow the instructions in the reference client's GitHub repository: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/tor.mdSince there's limited info, I'll just ask if you've setup a custom data directory? Because is you did and set it up via the GUI's " Welcome Screen" or as a command line option, the bitcoin.conf file should be in that directory instead. If not, it must be something else. |

This is the top line of my wallet: Electrum 4.3.4 - 1N8vh... [standard]
Does this " Install Window" seem familiar?:  Because that's where you've entered that " 1N8vh" address that you may have copied from somewhere else. I'm thinking that you may have it in your clipboard back then, pasted it there, then proceeded to create the wallet. Have you been using other wallet(s) aside from Electrum before? |

Coinbase charges a flat 1% transaction fee on all cryptocurrency transactions.
That's the rate for Coinbase's " Commerce" service/app which isn't the wallet. For the custodial wallet's " Network fee", refer to this link instead: help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/trading-and-funding/pricing-and-feesExpand " Primary balance" and read the part with " For transactions on cryptocurrency networks". |

1. When did they merge? I know it was possible to use blockchain.info for logging in sometime earlier but not anymore It wasn't merged, it's the same blockexplorer and online wallet service but with updated features. They just got access to the '.com' domain and redirect '.info' to it. 2. Was it possible to use Bitcoin address as an ID? If so, what was the principle behind it? Was it possible to use
just any address i.e. 1BitcoinEater..... as your log in info or was it only possible to use an address that was provided to you by the BC wallet?
No, ever since the start, it's the " Wallet ID" or in the earliest versions, via " Alias". Login using Email was just added recently. If you mean, pasting the address in their blockexplorer; no, that's not a log in. It's only meant to search for that address' transaction history and other info. |

Hey folks, yes, I'm still goofing with this wallet. I just went back and tried the "ismine" thing again and finally got a response: "false". Is it possible this opens the door to finally getting somewhere with this wallet?
Read my previous reply in the first page, here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5445664.msg61949989#msg61949989Using that command in Electrum is the same as checking the addresses in the 'Addresses' tab. You haven't found it in your list of addresses so it's expected to return a " false" result. |

It's not a HD-wallet (see icon bottom right).
Oh, thanks, I missed the slashed 'HD' icon. Then he can only do the " alternative method" below it if he somehow feel that it's necessary. |

Those are saved in your wallet.dat file so if there are transactions listed there, those txns were previously sent/received with that wallet.
If you want you can export the wallet's "hdseed" from dumpwallet and then use sethdseed command to import it to a new 'blank' 'non-descriptor' wallet.
The new wallet will have the same keys but wont contain any transactions until it synced.
Alternatively, you can import the dump file with importwallet command.
If it's a descriptor wallet, export the private descriptors via listdescriptors true command.
Then import those to a new 'blank' 'descriptor' wallet via importdescriptors command on each descriptor.
Anyways, those transactions should reappear once the wallet is synced so I can't see the reason on doing this.

Please let me know if you have another idea.
Child-Pays-for-Parent will work in your case, you just have to spend that specific output and it'll bump its fee. The problem is, nodes with default mempool size are now beginning to drop 1sat/vB transactions and yours might have already been evicted from some nodes' mempool. Can you tell what wallet are your using? Because depending on which wallet, there may be easier way to perform CPFP. And depending on the state of mempools, you might have to rebroadcast it or wait for the average mempool size to settle a bit lower. |

Thanks all. I'm using Avira AV Just updated mine to test and there's no detection when signing transactions.
Which ".tmp" files are those?
The ones in appdata local temp folder which starts with "+JXF..." or the "hwi..." in Sparrow's data directory?
Because the former are most likely related to Sparrow's custom fonts while the latter is needed to connect your hardware wallet. It's the hwi files. Then it definitely a false positive, unless the Sparrow.exe is fake. You can add an exception to hwi folder since the .tmp file may periodically change. You can exclude it in " Avira's setting->Security->Protection Options->Real-time protection->Excluded folders". Click " Exclude folder" and in Folder: type %appdata% ( enter) to directly go to your 'appdata/Roaming' directory, open " Sparrow" folder and then 'select folder' " hwi". As convenience, Avira will also add it to its Virus Scanner's folder exclusion. |

Is there a tutorial anywhere on how to set up a full node with Electrs + Tor on Windows?
I can't find anything about it.....
I can't find any either, probably because it's more inconvenient than installing it in other platforms. Anyway, for building Electrs: This might work ( but as a disclaimer, I haven't fully tested this): You should see something like this in the command prompt window: info: syncing channel updates for '1.48.0-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc'
info: latest update on 2020-11-19, rust version 1.48.0 (7eac88abb 2020-11-16)
info: downloading component 'cargo'
info: downloading component 'clippy'
info: downloading component 'rust-docs'
-snip-
Downloaded regex v1.5.6
Downloaded serde_json v1.0.93
Downloaded signal-hook-registry v1.4.0
Downloaded tiny_http v0.12.0
Downloaded winapi v0.3.9
Downloaded electrs-bitcoincore-rpc-json v0.17.0-e1
Downloaded instant v0.1.12
Downloaded electrs-librocksdb-sys v6.11.4-e3
.
.
.
If nothing went wrong, it should be able to build Electrs. If it failed to build, post the error that you got and maybe some other users can help or check the documentation for possible missing dependencies. Setting Tor with Electrs should be similar with other OS, just refer to their documentation: https://github.com/romanz/electrs/tree/master/doc |

Any exchange give us change address for my account?
I don't want to use one address forever.
I think you're confusing the term " change address". It's not the mechanism of wallets that generates new address after it received bitcoins. " Change address" is from a different derivation path at 'chain index', separate from your " receiving addresses". It's the standard path for addresses where the change from your transactions will be sent. Anyways, the main question is already answered by others. |

Is there a way to find out whether it's the first derived address or not? I do have the wallet in my Ledger desktop app. I also have the xpub but wasn't 100% certain I got it the correct way so thought using the address would be better.
If ledger Live can show the address' derivation path, the first address should have " /0" at the end of the path, the 2nd address has " /1" and so on. But if there's no way to show it, the xpub should do. Use an offline machine for privacy reasons and load/import it in any tool/wallet that supports xpub. E.g.: in Electrum, restore it in " new/restore" menu or " Install Wizard" by selecting " Standard wallet->Use a master key". for xpub, Electrum will derive addresses that starts with '1'. If your addresss starts with 'bc1q', convert the xpub first in the console ( View->Show Console) into zpub via command: convert_xkey(xkey="xpub...",xtype="p2wpkh")Finish creating the wallet, enable the 'Addresses' tab ( Show->View Addresses) and open it. Then the addresses with green highlight are your receiving addresses and it should be in the correct arrangement by address_index. To make sure, right click on the address and select " Details", the derivation path for the first address from the extended pubKey should be m/0/0. |

-snip- but my antivirus package started going crazy when I tried to sign a transaction, quarantining all the .tmp files. Is anyone else having this issue?
Just updated mine to test and there's no detection when signing transactions. I'm using Avira AV in the machine where Sparrow is installed. Which " .tmp" files are those? The ones in appdata local temp folder which starts with " +JXF..." or the " hwi..." in Sparrow's data directory? Because the former are most likely related to Sparrow's custom fonts while the latter is needed to connect your hardware wallet. |

- In btcrecover, it's correct to say the address limit is 1, right?
- Is there a way to tell btcrecover the address format to speed it up and not check every format?
- The "address limit" tells btcrecover how many 'address_indexes' to derive (address_index starts at '0'),
so if you're not certain of your address' index, better leave it with higher or default value.
But if you're absolutely certain that it's the very first address that you've derived (not just the first to receive bitcoins), then '1' is enough.
- You'll be providing it with your address with --addrs so why do you have to provide the format?
Anyways, --skip-uncompressed can be added to skip searching from uncompressed pubKeys which Ledger doesn't support.
Basically, the command will look like this: btcrecover --addrs bc1address --bip39 --skip-uncompressed You should have a token file named " btcrecover-tokens-auto.txt" in btcrecover's directory containing your tokens or point to it with --tokenlist( just add the necessary options depending on your needs, e.g.: --typos-capslock) |
