What is your suggestion? How exactly would we "stop the fake bitcointalk clone websites"?

I can say for sure that EVERY SINGLE case I ever read about how "Electrum stole me" or "Electrum is unsafe" turned out to be the user's fault. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. I (plus a HUGE part of the community) am using Electrum for over 2 years and I trust them. Even after this security issue, I have never seen a single case where someone lost their funds due to this exploit. So, IMHO that was (probably) your fault. 1. Norton AV can't find every viruses. And if you had a malware, a big password doesn't mean anything. 2. Are you sure that you downloaded the wallet from Electrum.org? I can remember at least 2 cases where the user claimed that he did while he actually downloaded a fake software from electrumwallet.com or something similar. Is there any way you can help me get my money back?
I don't think so. or anyone you can recommend that can help me track down the owner of this wallet where my funds were sent to
That's very unlikely. or recommend someone who knows how I can file a lawsuit against Electrum?
Probably just a waste of time.
Btw, why aren't you storing over $110k in BTC in a hardware wallet? |

You will probably need to do this: You need to upgrade to 2.9.3 for syncing to work properly. In Tails it's hard (near impossible?) to upgrade using normal method so your best, easiest way is to download the tar archive from electrum.org and run portable. Here's a 123...
1. Download from electrum.org - be sure correct https site.
2. Open terminal, change to Persistent folder (or wherever if no persistence but then you'd have to download each session): "cd Persistent"
3. Unarchive the tar you downloaded: "tar -xzvf Electrum-2.9.3.tar.gz"
4. Change into that new folder: "cd Electrum-2.9.3"
5. Run it. If you have Electrum persistent then run normally, eg "python electrum" and it will use your normal wallet. If not then use the -P option for "portable" and you'd need to copy the wallet file in or restore each session (since not persistent): "python electrum -P"
This downloaded copy is independent of the 2.7.9 installed and doesn't touch that but since it's not working any more you may want to create a dekstop icon for this copy. Basically copy the electrum.desktop file from the current folder to your ~/Desktop folder and then edit it to have correct paths to exec. But you also need to set persistence for Dotfiles to persist the icon - more steps but ask if you really need that.

Have you set an address when you login to the website dashboard and click the button "OPTIONS: wallets" to open the Global options screen?

So my friend sends .00685244 BTC, which was $77.
When i see it receiving into my Electrum, it is already down to .00570095 BTC, which is $64.
This is Coinbase's fee paid to the miners. Coinbase will always send transactions with the bigger fee required to get a confirmation in the next block, and which most of the time is exaggerated. After checking your TX ID and the address linked to it, I see that the fee charged was probably 0.00115149 BTC or $13.59 as of now (511.773 sat/B). Next time tell your friend to transfer his Coinbase funds to GDAX (or just buy directly from there) and withdrawal. If you use GDAX, there is no fees to buy Bitcoin (so no $3 fee) and the miner fees are paid by them. You would have saved an extra $16 ($3 + $13). Just search "save fees with GDAX" on Youtube. Then, i send it from Electrum to my personal account.
After THAT fee, In the end, i get .00497707.
Again, miner fees. Electrum will suggest you a fee, but you can actually lower that value to one you are comfortable to pay. So from transferring the coin from Coinbase to Electrum, and then Electrum to my personal account, i lost over 33% of my coin?
Sadly yes. Next time do what I said above and you will save a lot of money in fees. Also, I don't see why you did Coinbase -> Electrum -> Personal account instead of Coinbase (or GDAX to save even more fees) -> Personal. If you did the second option from Coinbase, you would have paid only 1 fee. If you did from GDAX, no fees at all. You would have received the whole $80. |

This is the fee TrustedCoin charges you to act as a cosigner on your 2FA wallet. How much does it cost?
TrustedCoin charges a small fee to co-sign transactions. The fee depends on how many prepaid transactions you buy. An extra output is added to your transaction every time you run out of prepaid transactions.
Costs depend on how many prepaid transactions you purchase at once (which is configurable by clicking on the TrustedCoin shield icon in the lower right of the Electrum interface).
Pay every 20 transactions: 0.0001 BTC/tx 0.002 BTC total
Pay every 100 transactions: 0.00005 BTC/tx 0.005 BTC total Source: https://api.trustedcoin.com/#/electrum-help |

1. Generate cold storage address downloaded from bitaddress.org to offline computer. Can I still use this site ? As far as I know same legacy address (beginning with 1) still can be used on both sides ( BTC and BCH).
Yes. I want to keep things simple use preferably use same address for BTC and BCH. Is there any disadvantage beside slightly less fee by using segwit address on BTC side  I somehow trust bitaddress.org to generate truly random passwords because that site been around for long time. AFAIK no. You can keep using a legacy address. Good choice! Also verify the file signatures if you want maximum security[1]. 4 Transfer BTC to new cold storage address ( What site I can use to properly estimate fee ?)
I like to use this one: https://coinb.in/#feesIs that true that I can use really small fee because I transfer between my 2 accounts and in worst case scenario ( insufficient fee) transfer will be canceled and funds returned to source adrress ?
Yes. If you are not in a hurry, you can use the fee you want and if there is no confirmation after a long time, you will be able to spend them again from your old wallet. 5. Download electron cash from https://www.electroncash.org/ import PK I transfer fund to key generated in pkt 1 Some people claim that is much safer to first transfer BTC and after that BCH. I would prefer to use a different address for each coin (if you are planning to use the same pk from your BTC wallet). 6. I believe after transfer I can still claim all posible btc and bch forks ( bitcoin gold etc.) in future ?
Only the ones that will happen in the future. Bitcoin Gold/Diamond already happened. So they were given to the address holding the coins when the fork happened.

You can get better exchange rates if you buy directly from an exchange like Bitstamp, Kraken and Coinbase. If you don't care at all about getting the best price, using Xapo would obviously be the easiest way (since you already have an verified account). It all depends on what you are looking for.

After I login (and if I don't have any address), I get this error message at the top of the screen: Notice: Undefined variable: result in /home/mediasit/public_html/wallt.co/includes/class/main.class.php on line 137 And this one at the bottom of the page: Warning

You should also add an "active" class to the navbar link which page you are. |

Ok I'm dumb. I swear I thought this was Mycelium (for some reason)  Anyways, the method should be almost the same. That's what you will need to do in this case: 1. Open your wallet; 2. Click at the top of the screen where it shows "name_of_the_wallet" and your balance; 3. Click "Show seed" and enter your PIN; 4. Write down the seed; 5. Now download Electrum[1] (for PC) and open it; 6. When creating a new wallet, select: Standard Wallet -> I already have a seed -> Write the 12 words the Electrum android app showed to you; 7. If everything went well, you will see the same addresses and balance (plus the missing coins) you see in the android wallet.

Ok.. There is something I haven't seen until now. You are using Mycelium, right? Because you posted this in the "Electrum" board. Try to do this: 1. Go to your Mycelium app and select your wallet; 2. Click the three dot menu at the top-right of the screen -> Backup; 3. Mycelium will probably start showing you words. Save them; 4. Now download Electrum[1] and open it; 5. When creating a new wallet, select: Standard Wallet -> I already have a seed -> Write the 12 words Mycelium gave to you; 6. Click Options ->Check "BIP39 Seed"; 7. If everything went well, you will see the same addresses and balance (plus the missing coins) you see in Mycelium.

can we see the history of transaction if the wallet never go live (offline) in blockchain.info ?
Yes. Wallets are just clients. Everything is in the blockchain (which that can be viewed online). |

This means that the address you searched is invalid. Even if the address is empty, you can see it in any explorer.
Is your address starting with a 1 or 3? If it's not, then that's probably not an address.

I heard one way to do it is to find the private key and export this key to another wallet.
1. How to I find the private key of my Cryptopia USDT wallet (where I transferred BTC)
You obviously can't. This method only works if you send BTC to a wallet you control. E.g: Electrum, Bitcoin Core, etc...
They may be able to recover your USDT. But they may also charge you a fee just like they do with deposits sent without a required payment id: Due to an influx of tickets of this nature having a significant impact on our support capacity as we continue to grow and scale to meet demand, Cryptopia is now implementing a 10% recovery fee on support tickets involving recovery of deposits made to Cryptopia where a required PaymentId/Message/etc are not correctly included in the transaction. Keep in mind that they are literally the only ones that can help you. If they don't answer your support ticket or deny your request, your BTC is gone.
Quick edit: oops... Swapped BTC with USDT. Thx DannyHamilton |

I have now imported a key into Electrum walllet but the last tranaction can not be seen..
But is the wallet balance correct? Or is the value sent in your "missing" transaction missing? I have the same proble....! Made a transfer from Binance to Electrum yesterday. Right after i installed the new Electrum 3.0.5 now i see no sign of the transaction and the address i used is not even in the list can some one please help.
Are you sure that you are opening the right wallet file? Can you try to create it again by restoring your wallet seed? |

When did you sent this transaction? And are the Bitcoins sent (0.07 + 0.001 fee) back to your wallet or are they missing?
Since you sent them with a low fee, the transaction could have been dropped from the mempool afer a few days unconfirmed. So the Bitcoins would be back to your wallet and they would be spendable again.

How rude to call names... Thanks for correcting me tho I really didn't know and now I improved.
Then, next time read and search first to only answer things you know. There is no point on trying to help people (just to increase your post count) with stuff you don't know and end up spreading false informations. Good luck in your future signature campaigns spammer! |

That's just an image with a url tag leading to the video page. If it was an embed video, you would be able to watch it in the bitcointalk page. You can even click and go to youtube main page with it. I wish I could see the bbcode under it.
You can. Just click "Quote" at the top right part of the post. That's the BBCode: [center][url=https://youtu.be/2xmR6CtD7DA][img]https://safekeet.io/theme/image/bitcointalk/btk_video.png[/img][/url][/center] See? It's just an image. |

Is there a way that user chooses what fee wants to use for transactions or are fees automaticaly chosen by exodus itself?
They are choosen by Exodus and you can't customize it. If the fees are too much, you can export the keys[1], import them in a different wallet (e.g: Electrum) and make your transaction. [1] http://support.exodus.io/article/86-how-can-i-view-my-private-keys |
