1221  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: 2FA and multisig wallet not going through on Electrum recent update on: May 05, 2023, 10:44:19 AM
The last word of the seed phrase that is shown in your image should be clarify, not clarity. It seems that you made a typo.
That's a segwit seed phrase (standard, not 2FA) and I could generate a wallet successfully with that using version 4.4.1 on windows.


1222  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Multisig and paper wallet on: May 05, 2023, 08:37:47 AM
It is kind of confusing me because to me it is still 2-of-3 multisig wallet in which only two seeds are need to make transaction, not three seeds.
You need two of three seed phrases for signing your transaction, but to create your wallet, you need the master public key that is derived from the other seed phrase too.

You create a 2 of 3 multi-signature wallet, so that you will be still able to spend your fund even if you lose one of the seed phrases.
Assuming you haven't saved the master public keys, will you be able to spend your fund if you lose one of the seed phrases? Can you generate your addresses? Note that before signing and broadcasting a transaction, you should create your wallet.
1223  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Multisig and paper wallet on: May 05, 2023, 07:56:59 AM
May be I don't understand you but I agree with Charles-Tim here. The seeds are what the OP needs to take care.
LoyceV is right. You should keep the master public keys too.
If you have a 2 of 3 multi-signature wallet and you have two of seed phrases and nothing else, you won't be able to restore your wallet.

As I said in my previous post, if you have seed phrases A and B, you will need the master public key that is derived from the seed phrase C too.
1224  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Multisig and paper wallet on: May 04, 2023, 09:54:55 PM
I don't understand what you mean, if he saves the 3 seeds he won't need to save also the 3 private keys to be able to sign the transactions because he can already spend from the wallet he accessed with the seeds.
In a 2 of 3 multi-signature wallet, you need two of seed phrases for signing transactions and all three master public keys for generating the wallet.
If you save three seed phrases and don't save any of master public keys, you will need all three seed phrases for making any transaction from your wallet and as mentioned by LoyceV, your wallet would be like a 3 of 3 multi-signature wallet.
You should save master public keys too, so that you can be able to spend fund even if you lose one of the seed phrases.


Assuming you have seed phrases A, B and C, for generating your 2 of 3 multi-signature wallet and spending fund from that, you need:

Seed A, Seed B, MPK C
or
Seed B, Seed C, MPK A
or
Seed A, Seed C, MPK B

(MPK = master public key)
1225  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How to check if an hot wallet is linked to an IP address on: May 04, 2023, 09:28:25 PM
but what is the use of that when your IP can be tracked in the second that you send a transaction and therefore have to connect electrum to the internet.
As long as you use a SPV wallet, you have to connect the a server and send your addresses to the server. That's inevitable.
Note that even if you use a VPN, your addresses are linked together and that may hurt your privacy. If you want to protect your privacy, you should run your own server.
1226  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: crypto stuck on gmail on: May 04, 2023, 05:17:22 PM
i wonder how much can be done without a password and recovery options?
What wallet or service are you talking about?
Did you have a non-custodial wallet with a seed phrase (a series of words)? Do you have an encrypted wallet file and you have forgotten the password? Or you are talking about a custodial service?

some people around say they have talked to a reprensitive and provided sensitive details about the account and got it back? or is it all just bs and only for paid accounts ?  
I hope someone isn't trying to scam you.
1227  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitcoin network fee´s insanly high at the moment! on: May 04, 2023, 05:01:12 PM
you can pay as low as 8 sat/vB $0.32 than 138 sat/vB $5.58 if you can wait.
Are you saying the transaction fee would be $0.32, if you set the fee rate to 8 sat/vbtye and that's $5.58, if you set the fee rate to 138 sat/vbyte?
Take note that just with knowing the fee rate and without knowing number of inputs and outputs and addresses type, you can't know how much the transaction will cost you.
1228  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitcoin network fee´s insanly high at the moment! on: May 04, 2023, 03:44:58 PM
At the same time, the higher the volume of transactions, the busier the network and the higher its transaction fees.  It doesn't depend on the amount you are sending.  It depends on the network congestion.
Right. And in addition to network state, the required fee depends on number of inputs and outputs, addresses type and how fast you want your tranaction to be confirmed.

Because the block will give higher priority to the transaction in which the higher fee will be paid.
Miners prioritize transactions based on their fee rate, not the absolute fee.


and in the worst-case scenario, you can speed up the process by bumping up the fees.
It's worth mentioning that the fee can be bumped only if the transaction has been flagged as RBF.
1229  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitcoin network fee´s insanly high at the moment! on: May 04, 2023, 03:27:23 PM
Whether you use Exodus, blockchain.com or any other non-custodial wallet, they don't charge you any extra fee. All the fee you pay for your transaction goes to miners. Also note that the fee you pay doesn't depend on the amount you send.
The more fee rate you use for your tranaction, the faster your transaction can be confirmed.

You can got second chance with Twilio Authy Authenticator if mobile phone number still active whatever application have been uninstall or losing mobile phone
This means that your secret key is stored on their server. I would never recommend using such an application. It's recommended to use an open-source 2FA application which doesn't keep your data.
As mentioned above, you can use Aegis for Android and Tofu for iOS. If you worry about recovering your account in the future, just backup your accounts.
1231  Other / Meta / Re: Account rank and posts on: May 03, 2023, 05:27:31 PM
Currently you have 171 posts, while the topics you created are only 11 topics for now, if those 11 topics are removed the remaining 160 remain and subtract your activity from a total of 126 reduce the remaining 11 = 115 activity,
No. It's not possible to delete the topics and even if the 11 topics that have been made by OP are deleted, his activity won't change.
OP has been active in 9 two-week actvity periods and his actvity is now 9*14. Even if the 11 topics are deleted, his post count will be still greater than 14*number of two-week activity periods in which he has been active and his actvity won't decrease.

And it may worth mentioning that when it comes to activity calculation, there is no difference between a reply and a topic
1232  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Importing trustwallet to Electrum advisable? on: May 03, 2023, 03:34:59 PM
Please confirm if is the right importation of wallet or is there any mistake I have made?
As transactions are shown in history tab, you have imported the wallet to electrum successfully.
Just note that as already mentioned, it would be better to create a new wallet and send all the fund to that. With importing your wallet from trustwallet to electrum, you don't make your wallet more secure.
1233  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Average time for debugging support? on: May 02, 2023, 09:09:34 AM
I've sent an email and dozens of bug reports and I am wondering how long something like this usually takes to be fixed?
Email? Who did you send the email to?
As far as I know, there is no email address for contacting electrum developers at all and you should report the bugs on their github page.
1234  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Scammed? on: May 01, 2023, 04:01:57 PM
It is also possible that there was a technical glitch or vulnerability in Electrum that allowed an attacker to steal your funds. However, without more information it is difficult to determine the cause of the issue.
That's not the case.
Electrum is an open-source wallet. The code has been reviewed by many people and there is no vulnerability. It's not like a close-source wallet that we don't know how the keys are generated and what's happening behind the scene.
1235  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Scammed? on: May 01, 2023, 03:23:20 PM
I recommend you to save yourself from further attacks by reinstalling your operating system,
Reinstalling the operating system isn't enough. You should format your hard drive completely and reinstall your operating system after that.
With doing this, you would remove any malware from your hard drive, but there won't be any guarantee that the same thing won't happen again. If you want to be completely secure, you should use electrum offline on an airgapped device.
1236  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Scammed? on: May 01, 2023, 02:41:28 PM
It says "possibly self-transfer" on blockstream.info and seems to have automatically been transferred upon receiving the funds.
No one can know that whether the transaction has been made automatically or manually.
As I said in my previous post, "possibly self-transfer" doesn't give you any information about what caused the fund to be stolen. Blockstream.info marks transactions as "possibly self-transfer" if it includes only 1 output. That's all.
1237  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Scammed? on: May 01, 2023, 02:21:21 PM
But how, I need to insert a password for each time I send?
Your password encrypts your wallet file locally, so that anyone who has access to your computer can't open the wallet file without your permission. It doesn't protect your wallet from getting hacked.
Any online device is always prone to hacking.  


How can I get in touch with someone from Electrum? It says "lock time 787764" and "possibly self-transfer" when I run an analysis on blockstream.info
It says "possibly self-transfer", just because the transaction includes only 1 output. That's not important.
1238  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Scammed? on: May 01, 2023, 02:09:42 PM
Either your wallet was hacked or someone had access to your seed phrase.
Whatever happened, bitcoin transactions are irreversible and if the outgoing transaction has been confirmed, there's nothing you can do.

Did you update your wallet? If yes, are you sure you downloaded electrum from the official website?
1239  Other / Meta / Re: Account rank and posts on: May 01, 2023, 09:03:36 AM
If you delete all your posts, that means the rank you have, for example, Member in rank and you have 65 total posts, then you delete 35 posts, the remaining 30 posts will be your rank, you will go down to Jr. Member again.
Note that your rank depends on number of two-actvity periods in which you have been active too.
Assuming the remaining 30 posts all have been made in a single two-week actvity period, your activity will be 14 and you will be a newbie.


I saw some users before deleted some of their old posts even though they had posts more than the activity but still their accounts went ranked down.
How is that even possible, could that have been a glitch?
Yes. Visit the topic created by GazetaBitcoin.
The curious case of the Brand New user with posts
1240  Other / Meta / Re: Account rank and posts on: April 30, 2023, 10:51:38 PM
If I decide to wipe my profile clean completely, will the rank stay ?
As already said, your activity can decrease if you delete your posts.
I just want to add that you can't delete all your posts. Topics cannot be deleted and you can only delete your replies.
