Open the folder %appdata%\Electrum\wallets and see if your wallet file is there. If it is, open Electrum, then click 'File' -> 'Open' and select your wallet file to open it.

You will either need to find your wallet file or seed (to restore it). Without any of them, your coins are gone.

So let's say I have 1 wallet with 2 private keys pointing to it. If someone sends me a coin to this wallet, then any of my private keys can spend it!?
No. But since your wallet consists of both private keys, the software will know (and use) which private key can spend the coins.

If you receive the coins in the address A and export the Address B private key, you won't be able to spend the coins. You will need the private key A.
12823  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Bitcoins not received on: June 05, 2018, 12:44:12 AM
You have two options:

a. Download the whole blockchain (~170gb);
b. Import your private-key in an SPV wallet and spend the funds immediately.

Option A:

1. Open Armory;
2. Go to the "Announcements" tab;
3. Click "Secure Downloader" on Bitcoin Core at the bottom;
4. After finishing the download, close Armory, install Bitcoin Core and don't run it (uncheck the "Run Bitcoin Core"checkbox);
5. Open Armory again and let it synchronize (it will take a few hours/days).

After finishing, you should see your coins.

Option B:

1. Go to your wallet properties;
2. Click "Backup this wallet" -> "See Other Backup Options";
3. Select "Export Key Lists" and click the bottom button with the same name;
4. A new window will open. Only check "Address String" and "Private Key (Plain Base58)";
5. Look for your address at the list and copy the 'PrivBase58' text right next to it.

This is your private key. DON'T SHARE IT WITH ANYONE.

Now download Electrum (https://electrum.org/#download) and when creating a new wallet, select:

1. "Import Bitcoin addresses or private keys" -> Enter your private-key from step 5 -> Next;
2. Now you should see your funds;

I suggest you create a new wallet by going to File -> New/Restore. And following the wizard normally (Standard Wallet -> Create a new seed -> Standard -> Save the seed (DON'T LOSE IT) -> Set-up password, etc... Then, just move your coins from the first wallet that you created by importing your private-key to this one you just created (with the seed). Use this wallet instead of the one from Armory.
12824  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Bitcoins not received on: June 05, 2018, 12:14:13 AM
Is your Armory wallet synced and online? Do you know that Armory runs on a full node, so you need the whole blockchain to see and spend your coins?
12825  Other / Meta / Re: 1 Merit per successfully reported post? on: June 04, 2018, 06:04:41 PM
Terrible idea. Not only this has been suggested tons of times, but the reason this isn't going to work is obvious:

1. Create 10 fake accounts and spam the forum.
2. Report your fake accounts spam.
3. Get 10 merits.
4. Repeat.

I would like to try chipmixer but the minimum is 4mBTC
The minimum is 1mBTC. It was only increased temporarily while the Bitcoin fees were high.
12827  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: 2018 List Bitcoin Mixers Bitcoin Tumblers Websites on: June 04, 2018, 05:31:16 PM
You should format this better.

I also have a quick few notes:

[banned mixer]
minimum transaction size: 0.001BTC, smaller transactions considered donations
minimum fee is 0.5% plus 0.0005BTC (for every incoming transaction)
Correction: plus 0.0005BTC for every incoming transaction.

CHIPMIXER.com
minimum transaction size: 0.004 0.001BTC
pay as you like but smallest option is 0.001BTC (?)
smallest chip is 0.001BTC, apparently rounded down and leftovers absorbed as a donation(?)
The minimum is 0.001BTC. It was only increased temporarily while the Bitcoin fees were high.

BLENDER.io < scam
minimum transaction size: 0.01BTC, smaller transactions considered donations
Our fees range from 0.5% to 3% for each operation, plus extra 0.0001 BTC
This mixer is most likely a scam.

With that post history, you will NEVER rank up.

You are only here to join bounties. And this type of user doesn't get any merit, which is what you need to rank up.

12829  Other / Meta / Re: Our manager's account was hacked, please change thread author on: June 04, 2018, 03:41:45 PM
You would have a better chance on trying to recover the hacked account. If you have enough evidences (of being the real owner) that would cause the admins to make your new account the author of the thread, you should also be able to ask for a reset on the original account password. Contact Cyrus/theymos with your evidence.

I'm not sure, is it really possible to change author of the thread?
It's possible.

12831  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Leger nano s - updating applications on: June 04, 2018, 02:18:25 PM
You can install up to 18 apps (depending on which ones you install).

If you install an app which crypto is a clone of Bitcoin[1], there will be more space left because they share the same library - hosted in the Bitcoin app - so their size will be lower. However, for apps that use its own library (like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, FIDO U2F and Password Manager), the space taken will be bigger, so you can only install from 4 to 5 apps "bigger" apps.

Keep in mind that when you delete an app, you will not lose your coins. So you can install it back later and keep using like nothing had happened. E.g: you install the ETH app, receive some tokens but want to install the NEO app. So you delete the ETH app, install the NEO and receive your NEO coins. Then, you want to manage your ETH again, so you delete the NEO app and reinstall the ETH app. Your ETH tokens will still be there.

[1] which are: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Dash, Zcash, Komodo, Stratis, Posw, Pivx, Viacoin, Vertcoin, Stealthcoin, Digibyte, Qtum, Hcash

I think it is better if we can go for soft indicator at the right side of the thread or bottom of the forum board that the thread has been created "X" number of years back before we going for ultimate answer of locking the threads.
There is already a warning when someone tries to post in a thread that has been inactive for more than 120 days.

Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days.
Unless you're sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic.

But do you think those spammers care?

I don't get the logic behind ("Since 140 replies"), explaining why you hit the reply button?
I think OP is used to SMT (Spam Mega Threads) with 600+ shitpost replies (check the Bitcoin Discussion board). So "only" 140 would be a good number (usually it's not).

Is shapeshift considered a bitcoin mixer? Or just a currency converter?
Absolutely not. They keep logs and will compliance with the US gov if requested on its users transactions.
12834  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Overview of Bitcointalk Signature Anti-Spam Campaign Managers on: June 04, 2018, 12:45:07 AM
Well I tried to use same images as in https://bitcointalk.org itself, hoping that it won't go to proxyserver e.g. https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/bbc/email.gif
But I guess it's still going through proxy server even with relative URL e.g. /Themes/custom1/images/bbc/email.gif

By the way this is telegram just an old one https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/bbc/tele.gif. (Again used this because don't not want to upload new images)
I imagined this was the reason. It still goes through the proxyserver tho (looks like every image a user posts goes through it). Right click the URL in the table above, select "Copy image URL" and you will see.

To see which mixers do work: 2018 List Bitcoin Mixers Bitcoin Tumblers Websites

There are a few reviews in some websites like DeepDotWeb but I wouldn't trust them as:
1. They may be biased (paid to promote an article, which is why I don't trust news websites).
2. They once put a fake ChipMixer phising url "by mistake" in one of his articles.

I thought about this aswell.

Pros:
- Much cleaner and slick.
- The whole "contact" column doesn't take 2 lines anymore.

Cons:
- Icons disappearing if the image proxy goes down (like today).

Overall, I agree with these changes. Maybe change the last icon to Telegram's icon.
12837  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: how long do bitcoin mixers usually take? on: June 03, 2018, 11:10:49 PM
Unless you specifically set a delay (a few mixers have this feature), it should be from instantly to up to something like 5 minutes.

I NEVER heard about this website and can't find anything about it (no ANN thread, no article or post about it). Where did you find it? If it's taking that long, I'm pretty sure it must be a scam.

Edit: how much did you sent? did you set any delay?
12838  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: A simple question about wallets. on: June 03, 2018, 11:08:41 PM
Is there a decent business model behind this wallet? I ask this separate from a discussion of the technical merits of the wallet, many flaws of which were above described.
I think they earn money by offering exchanges between assets and charging a fee. (Or maybe by scamming users in the future)

Still, Freewallet goes against everything about crypto and the idea of being your own bank.
12839  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: A simple question about wallets. on: June 03, 2018, 07:29:11 PM
i used FreeWallet.org
Please don't...

With FreeWallet, you are basically handling your coins to an unknown third-party. They don't even let you "export" your private-keys, so they are literally the only ones in control of your coins. Instead, you access your wallet with a login and password. Basically the same as using Paypal (they can block your account, freeze your funds, run with all the coins or anything else they want to do).

I can't connect to the website? Is there any problem? I want to give it a try.
It's been off for some time. But there wasn't many things you could try anyway (maybe if you wanted to see the design, which now you can see it here).
