That is indeed high! IMO, you should use a different wallet.

I would also like to know SpectroCoin users. I hear both positive and negative feedback. It is hard to come to a conclusion or decision. Sharing your experience would be much appreciated!

P.S. I don't want to know about their designs or used-friendliness! Rather, about their services, its quality and about their support.

When you sign messages, clients/software usually put your address above or along with signature. He probably copied whole text(address+signature) and entered in Byteball. Obviously, they will consider signature given as invalid. So he removed address, what he is referring to as "this line", and entered it again and it worked, as it should be!

Did you get the address you are looking for?

Btw, HCP, how did you get the key derivation path in step 6?


Try 30 or an increased number in "Show more rows". I haven't done it, but if derivation path m/0 is correct, address you are looking for will be there.

There is only "one" multisig address address and m number of addresses(public key, actually) used to create a multisig address. The private key you get by follow the steps above is private key corresponding to one of the addresses used to create your multisig address.


I didn't understand what you mean by this(bolded part). Can you please explain?

Yes, you can only get a maximum of 14 activity points every 2 weeks.

Your activity will be 56.

Bither and Mycelium. But, Mycelium may not be as user-friendly to many as Bither and Breadwallet.

You can use http://brainwalletx.github.io/#verify instead.

No! Restoring 2FA wallet would put two xprv keys* in your computer. To know P2PKH addresses (starting with '1') needed to sign message with and to get their private keys, see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1989262.msg19845248#msg19845248.

By the way, please don't post same thing in many threads. Stick to one and post in another only if you didn't get any reply. You need to at least wait a few hours, sometime for even a day.

* 2-of-3 multisig addresses are created on 2FA wallet. Those two keys are what needed to sign a transaction when sending bitcoins.

A few things has to be done. Read this[1] on how to recreate redeem script. Then, read this[2]. When you restore, don't do it in the same client you usually use. Do it in a different computer or virtual box or better yet, use live USB without persistence. Remember to use a secure computer when doing this. If not, your wallet could be compromised. When using virtual box, there maybe problems with directory. You can change directory with electrum --dir <directory>. For windows, do it in the same way you do for Bitcoin core[3] except replacing -datadir=<directory> with --dir <directory>

After that, create address with xprv key and corresponding xpub key. I don't know any website or web app which helps you do that[4]. So I can't help you in that!

You are signing with private keys of public keys used to create your multisig address, which are P2PKH address (starting with '1'. You can see which addresses you want to sign to prove you are in control of that multisig address or send bitcoins from a multisig address with redeem script. Try entering a redeem script in http://coinb.in/#verify.

Note: Normally, you use m of n-of-m number of addresses to create a multisig address. Thus, you already know which addresses are needed to sign a transaction for it to be valid. Therefore, there isn't a need to do all this. This is for HD multisig wallets.

No, you can't sign messages with multisig address (starting with '3'). There is a way to prove ownership of that address. For that, see post above yours.

@heropzy: Posting once is enough. And restoring 2FA wallet using seed will still create multisig address, not P2PKH address (starting with '1'). So, no! Please read post above yours before asking questions again!

There is no Electrum iOS app created. So for now, no!


Bitcoiners use

  - Hardware wallets
  - Computer
  - Paper wallets
  - Mobile
  - USB or other storage devices

Usually, people use mobile wallets for small amount. For large amounts, most of them tend to go for cold storage or hardware wallet. There are users who use mobile for storing large amounts. For example, you can use Bither hot+cold wallets for storing Bitcoins securely. How great security depends on users.


Yes, if you store in exchanges or online wallets, you can access your Bitcoins anytime.


I highly recommend you not to use online wallets or exchanges to store your bitcoins. Whether to store bitcoins in computer or not is up to you!


I want to tell you that we aren't actually storing bitcoins in our wallets. We are storing private keys which is needed to access/send bitcoins. Trezor and all other hardware wallets, afaik, store private keys inside. They never expose private keys and that's what makes them secure. As private keys never leave the device, you can reduce chances of losing bitcoins (or potential risks of a hot wallet). Therefore, if you are using, "normally", you can not send bitcoins from your mobile *without* Trezor.


You are welcome!

* Edited.

Because it is hard to escrow a trade of gift card.

1. Seller can use it before buyer does.
2. Buyer can use it and say seller used it before he could.

In both cases, a forged proof can be shown. Escrow won't be able to do anything once that happens. It is hard to "successfully" escrow such trades If there is a way to change codes* of a gift card, escrow can do their job successfully. AFAIK, there isn't any such service!

Edit: It maybe confusing when I say "change codes". In simple words, redeem gift card send by seller, escrow creates new one and send to buyer. You can't do this with Amazon. Is there any websites which supports this?

If you want to conduct a small transaction and there isn't any escrow, I can do it. For large sums, I am not doing it until my existing issue of Bitcoin/PGP address is solved. You can use my service as a last resort, but I doubt there would be anyone except who knows that I really am MZ, to trust me with large sums.

Read https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3wyjev/comment/cy0275q. You will find there how to get master private keys and master public keys. You can generate address with it and sign a message. According to ranochigo, you need to sign message with an address created from each of the private keys.

---

@ranochigo: Even if he signs with address created from both of the keys, how can he use it to prove multisig address ownership other exposing your xpub key which I presume what you are thinking? Please enlighten me! Thanks! Nevermind. My ignorance!

In iOS, Advanced Options -> Import Private Key -> HD account passphrase.

I couldn't find 'Import (from) HD account seed/paraphrase' in 'Advanced Options' and that's why, I was confused.


Thanks!

theymos deleted them.

There are lots of spamming and trolling. Mods have to leave good portion of their time just for that thread. They are also moderating other threads. If you feel like you can do the work, you are free to start a self-moderated thread. But, it has already been done by someone else. Now you can move the discussion to that thread.


It has become a pointless thread because it is getting so much attention from spammers and trolls.


It is easy to say, but hard to do!

I understand some of your views. I have also checked it, before - frequently and now - not so much. There are good posts there and honestly, it "was" a great discussion thread! But now, a majority are spams and trolls now. It was self-moderated and when OP was active, he is also doing his work and spams were less iirc. Anyway, now there is a new self-moderated thread. So why make a fuss over this? If you are unsatisfied or hard to accept this, come up with better ideas/propositions.
