1161  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Does multisig need to be all set up at one time? on: January 17, 2018, 08:23:00 AM
We are looking at setting up a multisig Electrum wallet 2 of 3. When looking it seems you need to have all three people set up at the same time, this is very inconvenient for us. Is there a way to avoid this?

Yes it's possible to do this asynchronously. Instead of creating a multisig wallet have everyone create a standard wallet first. Then have them exchange master public keys (MPK) which they can get from wallet menu > information. After that they can create a multisig wallet inputting the seed of their own standard wallet as the first cosigner and then the MPKs of the other 2 cosigners.

See 1 bump fee here. AFAICT you have CPFP and manual CPFP as options if you want to bump the fee. Both are covered in that link.

Hello,

I'm ex Multibit Client and before I moved my key to Electrum Wallet ( I get - Error loading Python35 DLL - Is fixed now ) I try to send bitcoin from multibit wallet on some other adrrees, but after 3 days the transaction is still not confirmed ... I only see that was  seen by 3 peers .

Today I go to -- Tools - and click .. - recalculate
chain of blocks and when the process was over, I can not see the transaction in my account anymore..

I have now imported a key into Electrum walllet but the last tranaction can not be seen..

What can I do ?


Did you import all the private keys from your multibit wallet? You have to get all of them because multibit could have sent change back to a different address.

What colour circle icon do you see in the bottom right corner of the electrum window?

Can you please make your own thread Arham77? Your issue is different from the OP's

Bitcoins will be mined for another 120 years but the difficulty will go crazy that the returns will likely become less profitable - to a stage where it will become almost pointless to keep mining.

This is not correct. Difficulty adjusts to network hash rate. If it becomes unprofitable less efficient miners stop mining and difficulty adjusts downwards. Mining becomes profitable again and the miners that left start mining again.

And FYI if there are no miners bitcoin becomes unusable since we need miners to incorporate transactions in blocks and extend the chain.

They will continue to be mined until 2140: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply
1167  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Linux Electrum Daemon Generating Bitcoin Addresses For Payment on: January 14, 2018, 02:27:10 PM
If you read my last post you'll see that I've explained what those 6 addresses you see are. They are change addresses.

As for the gap limit changes you need to increase the gap limit on the ubuntu system too if you want to see more addresses there. Unfortunately I don't know of any good way to do that via CLI. However it doesn't really matter because if you use addrequest --force it'll generate addresses past the gap limit too so it's not going to be a problem for you. Please understand that with deterministic wallets, which is what electrum wallets are, you have virtually unlimited addresses.

Also once again please don't call an address a wallet or vice versa. Wallets have many addresses, the keypairs behind them and related meta data.
1168  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Linux Electrum Daemon Generating Bitcoin Addresses For Payment on: January 14, 2018, 06:35:11 AM
Abdussamad thank you so much for your help. I installed the Electrum daemon on an Ubuntu EC2 instance and restored the wallet using the MPK. The 'electrum' commands are so eay to use. Everything went smooth and everything is going well except one problem.

I generated 40 wallets on my desktop electrum wallet using: wallet.change_gap_limit(50)

Do you mean 40 wallets or 40 addresses? I think you mean addresses. Don't confuse wallets and addresses. A wallet has many addresses.

Quote
On my instance when I use 'electrum listaddresses' in the command line it lists the first 20 addresses correctly in order and then ignores addresses 21-40. Instead it then shows a further 5 addresses, none of which are on my desktop wallet. Any idea why this happens? I stopped/restarted the daemon and alsorestored the wallet again but it shows the same thing.

On my desktop even when I reduce the wallet addresses back to the default 20, the instance daemon command line shows 20 identical to desktop wallet addresses and then those extra unknown 5 addresses.

Please advise if I am doing something wrong or if this is the way it is supposed to work.

On the desktop wallet go to view menu > addresses and switch to addresses tab. Up top you will see filter selections. Change the filter to "change" and "all". You will find the extra addresses there. These are change addresses that electrum uses internally to send back money to itself:

https://en.bitcoin.it/Change

Use addrequest --force to get addresses on the server. That way you'll always get an unused addresses from the receiving chain.
1169  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: List addresses! on: January 14, 2018, 06:26:28 AM
This thread is old. Use addrequest with the --force option to get unused addresses: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2721832.msg27959367#msg27959367 . Use it in a loop if you want lots of addresses.

1171  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum BUG - all Bitcoins stolen on: January 13, 2018, 06:29:18 AM
maybe browser open, but my wallet was saved with a password!!!

Then this bug is not the cause of the theft. You must have downloaded a dodgy copy of electrum or got infected with malware some other way.  Please check your browser history to find out where you downloaded electrum from.
1172  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Linux Electrum Daemon Generating Bitcoin Addresses For Payment on: January 13, 2018, 05:58:52 AM
A watch-only wallet does not contain any private keys so it is not possible to spend from that. So the way it works is you install electrum on your PC and create a wallet with it. Then you go to wallet menu > information and there you'll find your master public key (mpk) which begins with xpub.. You then install electrum on the server and restore your wallet using this mpk. The electrum command line option `electrum restore <mpk>` will do that. Run `electrum help` or `electrum help restore` for more info. Restoring from mpk on the server creates a watch only wallet there. You can then use the addrequest command mentioned before to get addresses for use in your app on the server. The addresses that you generate on the server will be for the wallet on your PC and using that you can spend the coins as you see fit. This setup is actually taking advantage of one of the best features of deterministic wallet i.e. the ability to generate addresses without needing the private key.

If you use pybitcointools then you would do the same thing. Generate addresses from your wallet's xpub.

I'd also like to point out that if you have shell access to your hosting server you can simply install electrum ltc and use that to get addresses. See this post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2721832.msg27959367#msg27959367 . IMO its better to rely on electrum to generate the addresses instead of scripts from strangers on the net Smiley
1174  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Linux Electrum Daemon Generating Bitcoin Addresses For Payment on: January 12, 2018, 07:01:34 AM
If you only need to receive and not spend on the server create a watch only wallet on your server and then use the addrequest command with the --force switch to get new addresses. You can give it any dummy amount. See `electrum help addrequest` on the command line for more info. This command can also be used over a JSON RPC interface.

Alternatively you can use pybitcoin tools or some other implementation of bip32 in python to generate addresses from your wallet's master public key aka xpub.
1175  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Why Electrum change my address? on: January 12, 2018, 06:58:00 AM
If you're interested there is a detailed answer to this question here since it gets asked a lot. You should use the receive tab and not bother with the addresses tab unless you really need to see old addresses.

I didn't create this script in the first place. It was  created by the author of the bitcoin payments plugin for woocommerce. However modifying it for litecoin was simple enough so I've done that: https://github.com/AbdussamadA/litecoin-address . There is no charge.
1177  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: electrum "replaceable" help on: January 11, 2018, 09:46:43 AM
Have a look at the transaction outputs, specifically the one highlighted in YELLOW (this is the change output)... if that is very small (or doesn't exist), then you won't be able to increase the fee

Small correction here. If your transaction has no change outputs you can still bump the fee. The money will come from the remaining outputs and yes that means one or more recipients will get less than you intended. Electrum does it like this because  if, in a hypothetical scenario, you're sending your entire wallet balance to an exchange you can still bump the fee.

If your transaction does have change outputs electrum will limit itself to those when bumping the fee.

Credit goes to SomberNight Electrum dev for explaining this to me.
