Try this: 1. Get your wallet seed (Settings -> Security -> Recovery Phrase); 2. Go to iancoleman's bip39 tool (download the source and run offline if you want to be safer); 3. Enter your seed in the "BIP39 Mnemonic" field; 4. You should see your addresses in the list at the bottom of the page; 4. But you want your change addresses, so change the "External / Internal" field from 0 to 1; (I saw this method somewhere in the forum but I can't find the original post) |

Both are scams. There is no such thing as a transaction accelerator these days (except the ones provided by a trusted pool like pushtx.btc.com). ConfirmTX, spdybit, btcspeedy... They were all scams. And you don't need one anyways. The mempool is nearly empty, so you can send a transaction with a 2 sat/byte fee and get a confirmation in a couple of blocks. |

But i want to know if i send them money and they receive it, then they send me say 0.10 btc and it shows in my electrum wallet but unconfirmed and 0 confirmations, that means its not safe?
I would wait until you get at least 1 confirmation since the sender can try to double-spend and keep the money. But are you serious about 30 confirmations? When i receive btc from a gambling site, usually when i get a few confirmations, it shows up in my wallet and it is no longer unconfirmed.
Usually 1 confirmation is enough, while some services (like BitPay) will require 6 confirmations. But I haver never seen anyone talking about 30 confirmations (even for a SPV wallet). @pooya87 Care to explain?

I have received ~1.25m BTC to test and review this mixer. I have chosen to receive 57% of my mixed coins to my address #1 after 8 hours and the remaining 43% to my address #2 after 6 hours. My first impressions: I really liked the minimalist design of the website and how everything you need to know about your order is shown in the "Order status" page. I'm still waiting for my coins (because of the delay), but it's great how I can easily check when they will are scheduled to arrive - which is great. I have tested multiple mixers and if this one had a reputation, I would probably choose them over other famous mixers like BitBlender (for simple send->receive mixings, otherwise, I still prefer ChipMixer due to the way they work with the chips). I will update this post when I receive my coins in ~7 hours. Edit: I received my coins in the designated time without any delay. Thanks! Just a quick suggestion: Use segwit. Help the network and save some fees 
giving 0.1BTC to people in a forum to test your new service is a waste of money.
Why? what I had in mind, I would like to see you having 1BTC in escrow, and another one for mixing in your hot wallet. if you don't have that much, you could start with 0.2BTC escrowed and 0.2BTC in hot wallet.
Escrow is good but it's not 100% scam-proof. BitMixCoin had 10 BTC in escrow for some time and they lowered that amount to 5 BTC without any public warning. They could have wait until they had 10 BTC from costumers, ask the escrower to half the amount in escrow and still profit 5 BTC if they decide to scam everyone. If you choose to setup a escrow and then decide to get the coins back or lower the amount, at least warn everybody a few days in advance. |

That's one of the reasons the merit system was added in the first place. I'm glad it's working I'm hoping that this system will increase post quality by:
- Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up. If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point, and you will therefore never be able to put links in your signature, etc.
- Highlighting good posts with the "Merited by" line.

I agree with richards. It's more about ignorance than FUD. Can you give at least one reason on why Bill Gates would try to "destroy" cryptocurrencies? People seriously need to stop with the "he just wants to buy cheap" conspiracy theories whenever someone says something bad about Bitcoin and/or cryptos. Let's not start hating him because he's not part of our "group". About Gates saying that cryptocurrencies are bad because they facilitate laundering and terrorist funding: New Research: Laundering of Illicit Funds Less than 1% of Bitcoin Transactions |

I don't think there is a problem. I believe that the "Recent merit sent" section (from /index.php?action=merit) only shows merits sent in the last month. Today is February 28 and my page only shows my merits sent until January 29 while I have some from January 28 that can be seen in the "Sent in the last 120 days" section (from /index.php?action=merit;u=557798). So ~1 month for the "Recent merit sent" and 120 days for the "Sent in the last 120 days". |

Am I the only one who can't even login in the fake website because reCaptcha isn't working on the login page? Why would someone try to login if the captcha isn't working? IMO the website is more like a (outdated) reading-only forum mirror than a phishing website. (just don't try to login)

The site looks promising to me.
Simple as alike.
- Working perfect
- The response is fast.
I am confused at one point. In your fee section, you have typed that your min commission is 0.5% right. In the next table, you have written that for 1-4 bitcoin it's 0.45 why? But at the same time, it is 0.5% in for all. Correct me if I get it wrong.
Also when
I believe it's something like a "loyalty system". From the fee section: "Remember, when you use BitWhisk regularly with the same code you get a discount. More you mix less you pay." So, if you mix 3 BTC, you pay a commission of 0.45%. If you keep mixing with the same code and get to 6 mixed BTC, you only pay 0.40%, etc... This also makes me wonder, how is this code "info" stored? How do you link multiple orders to one user to know if he is a loyal costumer?
P.s: I'm here if you still need someone to try the mixing with multiple addresses/bigger delays  |

I've made a "recieve" transaction on my offline default wallet on Electrum, but it has been on "pending" status for more than a week now.
What exactly do you mean by "I've made a "receive" transaction"?  Do you mean you gave your wallet address to someone and they sent you bitcoins? If so, who did you buy these coins from? Did they provide you with a transaction ID? If so, have you checked this transaction ID on a blockexplorer like blockchain.info? Also, if your wallet is "offline", it won't show the transaction history correctly as it can't sync... or do you mean you're looking at the online watching only version of your wallet and it says "pending"? I will risk and say that he's talking about the "payment requests" that can be done with Electrum.  Take a look at the "Requests" history at the bottom. It's showing my "Testing 1" payment request as Pending because I have not received the coins. |

I think it depends on BTC price. Last November-January BTC price was low so fees was high for all transations.
If you are talking about USD, yes. I believe satoshis/byte is a better option. Remember that we are paying in BTC (a currency). On the other hand how big amount you are sending one account to another account is one of the main factor of fees.
It's not. The amount doesn't matter. What matters is the size of the transaction (i.e more inputs/outputs). The bigger the transaction (size), the bigger is the amount of satoshis that we "need" to pay in fees (remember the sat/byte measure I talked above?)
Btw, my last transaction costed 0.000003 BTC (1.382 sat/byte) in fees and it got confirmed in 2 blocks. That's $0,03  |

My stance is merit may be hard to attain.. but activity is the hardcap on difficulty here and it should be removed.. I do think merit indicates whether a user is quality or not without time being an inhibiting factor but having the Activity part still in I think is ridiculous.. What if someone were to get 750 merit in the course of 6 months.. would it really make much sense to make this person wait another 18 months to get the rank? I personally find this to be the biggest flaw in the system although most want to focus on what they don't like about merits. Still though, trying to make the system work according the rules set forth.. its just my opinion and won't let it interfere with trying to rank up over time.
Well, activity is meant to work like this. When it got introduced, there was not many bounty/signature spammers like we have today. So taking some time in the forum was everything you needed to do. Merit was only added because the spam to rank up and join a bounty became unbearable and it started to hurt the forum. IMO, taking time to rank up (which was the original idea) and needing to make QUALITY posts and not just spam is the perfect combination for the new system. It also helps preventing users from abusing the system by meriting his main account with alts to rank up in just 1 day. |

To the nano ledger users, i have heard cases where the nano ledger s is very confusing to use and heard people say they made mistake and you could easily make a mistake of sending bch to btc wallet and vice versa and stuff like that. Is that true or false?
It's true Rewording after reading HCP's post: It's true that some users may think it's confusing and will end up sending coins to the wrong address (not Ledger's fault). But I'm not sure if Nano S already supports the new cashaddr format for Bitcoin Cash which will make things easier. Normally, both BTC and BCH will have the same valid addresses in both chains. So, my address 1NinjabXd5znM5zgTcmxDVzH4w3nbaY16L is valid for both chains and can store BTC and BCH. This means that you can send BTC/BCH to the opposite chain by mistake (BTC to BCH or vice-versa); (Btw, If you do that but you own the address - which is the case with the Ledger Nano -, you can recover it.) To avoid this kind of mistakes, BCH adopted a new format that looks like this (which like I said above, is or will be supported by Nano): bitcoincash:qrhyrhms7kplesyktkfv2ea53x2dlacuuuxna40hym |

I'm always trying to do that. But finding high quality posts among Newbies is a hard task.
Have you ever thought that most users will only merit high ranks because they tend to make good posts and that has nothing to do with the user's rank? I personally never look at the rank before deciding whether someone deserves merit or not. However, I still have plent of sMerit to give because I try to hold some for the lower ranks and I can't find any. If I decided to merit every high quality post, I would have none by now because 95% of all good posts are made by Legendary/Hero users.
Talking is easy, but do you really deserve any merit? Post here/PM me any of your HQ posts (if you have any) and if you deserve, I will merit you.

As title says I am in need of some advice, I have around 900usd in bittrex that I would like to withdraw, but I do not want to send them my personal information for verification. I am willing to pay for assistance in this matter except obvious scams like "give me the account details I will verify and send you 90% etc." Any and all help will be appreciated
What kind of help you do need? You need to verify your account or you won't be able to withdraw. You could ask someone on your family to verify the account with his ID for you. Other than that, I don't think there is anything you can do. |

I assume that because my BTC is already in my Ledger Nano S (BTC wallet) that using this risky Electron wallet is not the same security risk as when someone splits their BTC from the Electrum wallet?
Yeah. It should be safer because even if a fake wallet steals your private-keys, there are no Bitcoins in there anymore. So you are only risking your BCH. But you can *kinda* trust Electron Cash (at least for now) |

Ok I understand. I do have the wallet backed up on a USB drive. But the backup was made when I had BTC in it. I since sent my BTC to my Ledger Nano S from my wallet that was on my PC.
So what will happen when I go to my old backup Electrum file (from my USB drive) that was made when I did have my BTC in it?
Nothing will happen. Like I said above, you backup once and the file will be the same forever. There is no such thing as "old backup" with Electrum. Your coins are not stored in the file. You don't have any BTC but the BCH is still there in the blockchain, waiting to be spent. Do like I said and you will see your BCH balance. |

OK thanks but I am a little confused. What part of my back up am I supposed to use? The wallet file or the program shell?
The program shell I believe can only be re-installed from a download (even if I have a copy on my backup USB drive) and if that's the case it would be a fresh install and would not have my private keys
What exactly did you backed up? Electron Cash looks exactly like Electrum. If what you backed up was the wallet file, just select it in Electon Cash like you always did with Electrum when opening your wallet.  |

Hey HCP. So just to make sure, electrum counts right? Just want to make sure before i order it.
Yes... I transferred my BTC from my Electrum wallet to my Ledger Nano S but I then permanently deleted my Electrum wallet from my PC because I switched PC's for (security purposes).
I do have backups of my Electrum wallet (if that helps) but these were made before I moved my BTC to my Ledger Nano S.
Can I gain access to the required private keys on my PC or from my Electrum backup? In order to finish claiming my BCH on Ledger Nano S. Any help is appreciated!
That's good enough. Your Electrum wallet/seed never changes. It doesn't matter if you moved the funds or made any new transactions. Backup once and you are done! Just download Electron Cash[1] and open your Electrum wallet file with it. Then, send your BCH to your Nano S.

LISTEN UP EVERYBODY!
This question already has been answered MULTIPLE TIMES. Do we really need 3 pages of Newbies repeating the same thing over and over again with a broken english?
"They don't expire"
"Don't worrt they don't do such"
"I do not believe bitcoin addresses expire"
JUST STOP! You will not get any merit with this bullshit anyways. Stop wasting server resources.
