1341  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum version 1.7 is unable to sync with the blockchain. on: January 20, 2023, 01:09:31 PM
-snip-
You didn't replied to my post so I guess you don't like my suspected issue...
Please at least paste the contents of "resync.cmd" file but do not launch it. (it's a script that'll automatically execute once you open it)
Right-click in it, open it as text, then paste the contents inside [code][/code] tags.

Your case isn't normal as the issues and error that you're getting aren't part of Electrum.
Like I said in my other reply, verify your executable to make sure that it's not a fake version. (instructions is in my other reply)
1342  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum Wallet Python and OP-Return on: January 20, 2023, 02:12:15 AM
Is the Library good
What is the hostname
Where is the fee......
I'm not using that library so I can't comment on the accuracy of ChatGPT's answer or the library's performance,
but it's on the right path for using OP_Return.
I'll just reply to your other queries:

The "hostname" is the server of your choosing.
For example, if I want to connect to blockstream's public server, I'd use ('electrum.blockstream.info', port=50002, protocol='tcp')

The fee is the difference between the input(s) and output(s) values.
The "fee rate" is the fee divided by the transaction's size in "virtual bytes".

So confused i couldn't find some files like electrum.dat
And my default_wallet is saved as txt.
Note: i had tried loading the old wallet on new version but it not working i kept on receiving invalid wallet. Nothing is working out for me here.
That only mean one thing, you didn't have a v1.7, "default_wallet" is for newer versions while "electrum.dat" are for old versions of Electrum.
Now, have you tried to verify the "electrum.exe" that you've been using?
Because the icon, behavior and name (if you didn't renamed it) don't look legit.

Also, do not run the suggested cmd file above it like suggested in the error msg since it may be a trap to install more viruses to your PC.
The source code doesn't have something like that nor the installer.
1344  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it on: January 19, 2023, 07:47:35 AM
-snip-
I am really suprised of the probability that this can happen.... same key that have a Bitcoin and DOGE addresses both with balance ? it could be the puzzle owner DOGE account ? or maybe that key is derived from some simple schema ??
what do you think ?
If you see any funded address, that doesn't mean that someone knows its private key.
That Dogecoin address is one example, someone just derived the dogecoin address from p66's address then sent dogecoins to it.

In your link, see that "Public Key Hash (Hash 160)" below the address?
That's basically the address when decoded with base58 without the network bytes and checksum.
Simply add any altcoin's network bytes, etc. and encode it with base58check to get the equivalent altcoin address.
1345  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Can we sign a message with invalid address using Electrum? on: January 19, 2023, 04:48:03 AM
-snip-
I used openAI, and she said this address is invalid, thanks for the reply.
There's a reason why ChatGPT answers are banned in multiple platforms and forums, that's on example.
I've also seen users here who referenced ChatGPT answers and some are too generic, if not, incorrect.
Give it a few more years before taking its answers into account.

I wanted to know if signing a message with invalid address was possible or not.
If it was possible, wouldn't everyone sign a message with any address they wish to? I guess this would break all the security rules of bitcoin, lol.
I think you misunderstood the question.

The worst is that i had misplaced my seeds and master keys i only have just the files backed up on my onedrive. I would be very happy if you can assist me sir.
Just make a copy of your "electrum.dat" file and load it to the latest version of Electrum.
That's your actual wallet file and it's still supported by version 4.3.3. (latest as of now)
Since it's a portable version, the file should be in the same folder where the portable electrum executable is located.

To load it, simply download Portable Electrum from electrum.org/#download and verify it (guide);
Open it to create the "electrum_data" folder in the same directory, leave it, open that fodler, create a wallets folder inside it then paste the copy your electrum.dat that "wallets" folder.
Go back to Electrum 4.3.3 portable and load that wallet (Choose...) instead of creating a new one, if you somehow pasted it in the wrong directory, browse manually to that dir.


But I have one concern, the error that you get doesn't point to a valid ".cmd" file plus you said that it's v1.7 while the screenshot doesn't look like that version.
I'd suggest you to check your PC's security and verify the current version of Electrum that you're using so you wont risk the funds by running a fake version or using a compromised system.
1347  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: .JSON file vs zpub in Electrum on: January 18, 2023, 05:57:12 AM

I haven't searched but try these links.

Electrum ColdCard Plugin: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/electrum/plugins/coldcard/coldcard.py#L246
ColdCard Sample Electrum Wallets (unimported): github.com/Coldcard/firmware/tree/master/docs/sample-electrum-wallets
1348  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: .JSON file vs zpub in Electrum on: January 18, 2023, 05:40:17 AM
I'm an Electrum user, and AFAIK, there is no option to import JSON into Electrum. So do you have any idea what kind of data is inside the .json file you are trying to import?
Since he's talking about Coldcard, it's the exported .json file with simple data like keystore, script type, path, etc. which can be loaded in Electrum as a new wallet.
Using "File->Open" will import it and Electrum will then format it into a proper Electrum wallet.
1349  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: public key recovery from multiple coinbase transaction on: January 17, 2023, 09:49:36 AM
but Since the address in question (P2PKH) contains newly generated block rewards from solo hashing over a good period of time, but none of which were spent (unfortunately, and neither do I have an signed message for this P2PKH address) - is there any reason why scriptSig from generation transaction recorded on main net not providing me my public key?  maybe the offset I'm copying is incorrect - or it is just impossible all together
Since it's P2PKH and not P2PK, it's impossible.

Even if it's from multiple coinbase transaction output,
Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash still wont show the public key until it's spent, only the PubkeyHash.
Pay-to-Public-Key on the other hand, is basically straight-out send to the public key.
1350  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Help with P2PKH (starts with "1") address is supported for BTC on: January 17, 2023, 03:09:01 AM
Most wallets still supports generation of legacy addresses.
The question is, which wallet do you prefer?

Given the question, I guess you've tried the latest version of Electrum and found out that it only generates Native SegWit (bc1) addresses.
If so, it needs a bit of console command usage to create the type of wallet that generates legacy addresses: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5327892.msg56694910#msg56694910
1351  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin core - Create new reception address function unavailable on: January 16, 2023, 12:57:55 PM
Watching-only wallet in Bitcoin Core can produce new receiving addresses.
This is true. Although button "Create new receiving address" is disabled if you create new wallet and choose "Disable Private Keys" or "Make Blank Wallet" on Bitcoin Core 23.0.
I don't know what the argument is about because a blank wallet isn't watching-only until addresses/descriptors are imported... it's blank.
1352  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Multi-Sig BTC Wallet Recovery on: January 16, 2023, 04:53:06 AM
-snip- I can import the Public Key to Electrum and the “watch wallet” imports just fine and shows the balance and transaction history.
I tried this and only the master public key at m/1' has BTC.
So if it's the funds that you're trying to recover, it's not a MultiSig wallet but a standard legacy wallet.

Is there more to recover than what's being shown by the second master public key?
If not, you can try these options, you can use Electrum but verify its integrity for safety: tutorial.
The options:
  • option1: Recover your seed phrase in Electrum, in options, tick "BIP39 seed" Create the wallet using "legacy (p2pkh)" script type.
  • option2: Do the steps in option1 but after selecting the legacy script type, edit the derivation path below from m/44'/0'/0' into: m/1'
  • option3: Recover your seed phrase in Electrum, in options, tick "BIP39 seed" and "Extend this seed with custom words", type your passphrase in the next window. Create the wallet using "legacy (p2pkh)" script type.
  • option4: Do the steps in option3 but after selecting the legacy script type, edit the derivation path below into: m/1'
  • option5: Do the steps in option1 up until the script type window, but instead of selecting an address type, click "Detect Existing Accounts" instead (if empty repeat this with option3).
1353  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin core - Create new reception address function unavailable on: January 16, 2023, 03:42:38 AM
* There might be a bug in the software, I think you need to check the new version or report the bug
   in the community developer.
If there's a bug in the software; if not all, most of the users will experience that issue.
Only suggest to report a bug once the issue is confirmed, otherwise there'll be lots of false reports that could waste the developers' time.

Quote from: gunhell16
* Probably, your wallet maybe locked.
Bitcoin Core's wallets can be used and generate receiving addresses even when locked.

Quote from: gunhell16
* There is also a case where your wallet possibly in a "WATCHING ONLY MODE"
   In this case, you are free to view your transaction records also your balance, but you can't able to
   send bitcoin and can't able to create a new address too. Therefore, you need to change it into
   "FULL MODE", and for you to do this you need to paste your private keys.
Watching-only wallet in Bitcoin Core can produce new receiving addresses.

Note: It's best for the OP, the forum and for you if you test your hypothesis first before posting them.
1354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Node stuck on some commands... on: January 15, 2023, 04:14:35 AM
1.5 years seems a long time for me, if your node is running for a long time it is possible that the mempool has grown in size and the reason why the node is taking a long time to process the getmempoolentry command. In this case, you can try to clear the mempool by using the command bitcoin-cli clearmempool.
His mempool will periodically drop transactions once those are included in a block.
Even if he run the node non-stop in 1.5 years, there shouldn't be any issue with his mempool.

Quote from: lionheart78
Also, the getrawtransaction command can be slow if the transaction is not in the node's local copy of the blockchain and it needs to request it from other peers.
getrawtransaction wont request from other peers, it'll either get from his mempool or his blockchain since he has txidex enabled.
1355  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How to sign Coinb.in created TX in Electrum command line ? on: January 14, 2023, 05:28:30 AM
Can you tell me please, is anywhere full guide for electrum command line using with description of all commands ( like in case with Bitcoin Core) ? Because electrum.org website has a pretty poor description...
You mean same as bitcoin-cli help command or bitcoincore.org/en/doc/24.0.0/rpc/blockchain/getblockchaininfo/?

AFAIK, there's none, only the list of commands and the short info about the command.
But some commands have "longer" descriptions if you used them improperly, or read those docstrings from here: github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/electrum/commands.py
This site has description of some commands but not all are covered and some examples aren't useful: bitzuma.com/posts/an-introduction-to-the-electrum-python-console/

Also another one question - can electrum be operated with Bitcoin Core's commands?
No, Bitcoin Core's commands wont work in Electrum. Some are similar though.

For the second option, I've tested it before posting that reply.
Did "!" appear just for a split second? If so, your set transaction fee isn't enough to be a valid replacement.
It should be at least 1sat/vB higher than what is set in coinb.in; manually compute from the size and total fee to see its original "fee rate", then increase it by at least 1.
1356  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum issue ... argh on: January 14, 2023, 05:06:43 AM
Does anyone know of a way to either xfer the thousands of txns out of this ,... or a way to export my data ... without this crashing?
Run Electrum offline, remove the password (leave "New Password" blank) and open the wallet file as text.
The keys should be listed there under "keystore", import them by batch per wallet this time.

Note: Make sure that the text editor and your PC can handle large txt files (you managed to create that wallet so I guess you already got it covered).
Wallet file can be found here: electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#where-is-my-wallet-file-located
1357  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Invalid private key error on: January 14, 2023, 04:38:58 AM
-snip-
Here is the statement I am curious about:

“On March 7, 2014, Mt.Gox Co., Ltd. confirmed that an old-format wallet which was used prior to June 2011 held a balance of approximately 200,000 BTC," the statement said.”   As reported CNN money -
Must be talking about 2011 version of Bitcoin Core or its wallet.dat since the article was written in 2014.
Or sometimes, users tend to use the term "wallet" when talking about "address".

But that article isn't technical for you to overthink its use of "old format", the latest version still supports the old version's keys/coins if you're worried of backwards compatibility.
1358  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: I lost my BTC form electrum wallet on: January 14, 2023, 04:22:34 AM
Have you verified your downloaded Electrum before using it?
Because there are a lot of fake electrum.org websites that look legit.

You can follow this guide: /index.php?topic=5240594.0
But do not download the developer's PGP key from the same website, I recommend the keys in Electrum's GitHub repository: github.com/spesmilo/electrum/tree/master/pubkeys
Verify the binary that you've previously downloaded, do not redownload them or it will defeat the purpose of the verification.

1360  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: BitCrack - A tool for brute-forcing private keys on: January 13, 2023, 04:20:38 AM
The program is no longer functional. Even though I double-tap the Bitcrack64 record, the software ends. My outdated GTX 1050ti is collecting dust. I could use it again.
-snip-
Those executables aren't supposed to be double-clicked, you need to run it in a command line.
If you're using Windows, that's either your "Command Prompt" or "PoweShell".

Also, "BitCrack64.exe" is only available in the very old version, the latest only has the OpenCL and Cuda versions (go to releases for the updated binaries)
Then, use "cuBitCrack.exe" instead.
