so the logins/pw/mnemonics were in no way attached to the generation of bitcoin addresses?
That's right. Do we know anything for sure about how they handled wallets assigning addresses?
No. But I still believe that what I said above is the correct. Have you tried to create a thread at the /r/DarkNetMarkets subreddit? They should be able to confirm if I'm right. |

OK I thought so, but just to be clear, a private key can't change if sweeped into a new wallet with a new public key/wallet, right?
Nothing will change. Sweeping is basically sending all the coins available in your address to a new one. The previous address is still the same and can be used as usual. |

You can't import an already existent wallet in your Trezor device.
Create a new wallet in Trezor and move all your coins from your old one to your new one.

Like others said, Electrum is only recommending a fee based on the network load. If you are not in a hurry and still want to pay way lower than the recommended, you can manually edit your fee. And it looks like you already have the "Edit fees manually" enabled. So you can click in the fee textbox and lower the fee for the amount you want to pay (be ready to wait if you do this).

We have updated with a premium service which will resubmit and prioritize your transaction directly to large mining pools.
And where are your proofs? After ConfirmTX made tons of money lying about having a partnership with mining pools, looks like people started to do the same, right? It's like the ICO mania. The first one was successfully and here we are getting 10 new scam ICOs per day. |

When you say I should be able to open the wallet using ElectronCash do you mean that I (at this point) can just open the Electrum wallet file in ElectronCash and my BCH will then be available in the wallet? Or do I need to import the seed or private keys?
You can either just open the same Electrum Bitcoin wallet - which you already use - in Electron Cash or restore your wallet with your seed/private-keys. Both are going to have the same result. But in this case, it's obviously way easier if you just open your already existing wallet in Electron Cash. Wow that is a complicated guide. Is there any chance that there will be an easier way in the future? Because then I would just wait with claiming the BTG as I'm not sure I would get all the steps correct here anyway.
It could become a little bit easier if a dev ever decides to fork a working version of Electrum for Bitcoin Gold. But so far, no one seems to care about it. |

Don't use Google Authenticator. You can't easily backup your 2FA with it, and if you lose your device, recovering each of your accounts is a pain in the ass. Instead, use a 2FA app that let's you backup your codes. I recommend andOTP: |
|
|
|
thanks a lot man!
can i transfer my 2fa codes on google Authenticator on andOTP or i need to, i don't know, sync andOTP with kraken again?
If you have your 2FA secret code or QR used to setup your 2FA in the Google Authenticator app, then just manually import them. If not, you will need to disable 2FA in each of your accounts and enable them again but with andOTP. |

Every time I check the Services board, this thread is in the top due to his countless bumps.
Can hilariousandco or any other mod confirm if that's allowed? Do I report the user if he is locking his thread and bumping it multiple times through the day? (especially if it is some kind of scam)

-- Say, if the private key for that address is stolen, would signing be of any help? (Since Bitcoin is decentralized and no one in control, where can one appeal to to in such a case)?
That's not what signing is for. The purpose of a signed message is to prove that an specific address belongs to you. Let's say that I create an account here at BitcoinTalk and tell everybody that the address 1XXXXXXXXX is mine. If I ever get hacked and lose my account, I can create a new one and post a message signed with my 1XXXXXXXXX address to prove that I'm the original owner of the account. -- Also, would not the private key be exposed unnecessarily due to the signing? (leaving the paper/cold wallet as it is would be more advisable)?
You don't need internet access to sign a message. If you sign directly from your cold wallet or temporary import your paper wallet in a air-gapped device, your private-key won't be put in risk. |

To import your private keys you need to choose "Import Bitcoin addresses or private keys" in the first screen and not "Standard Wallet -> Use public or private keys".
You can also get your Electrum seed by going to Wallet -> Seed. Then, go to Electron Cash and choose Standard Wallet -> I already have a seed -> Paste your seed and you are done.

X-post from a previous post of mine: ConfirmTX.com is a scam. Under no circumstances pay them to "accelerate" your transaction. The admin lied about having a partnership with a mining pool, tried to sell his website script, has tons of complaints about their service doing nothing and now he just vanished from the forum. Check the last pages of their thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2138157.100Since your transaction is way over 400 bytes, you will need to pay if you want to use ConfirmTX (and since they are a scam, nothing will happen).
Stop recommending this scam! |

1) Is any safe way to drop unconfirmed tx
No. 2) How long my tx will be in pool? Is any way to see expire date of it?
I heard somewhere that it takes 3 days 2 weeks (I can't confirm). But some services will keep rebroadcasting your unconfirmed transaction and putting it back into the mempool. |

No. AFAIK the only purpose of the mnemonic is to recover your account if you forget your password.
And the wallets are probably gone anyway.

I'm not even sure how the distribution is going to work... But you can find this in their website: What is the total amount for Bitcoin Diamond (BCD)?
The total amount of BCD is 210 million. No more increase. 170 million BCD, 1BTC : 10BCD will be presented to the Bitcoin holders for the long-term Bitcoin ECOSYSTEM support. The rest 40 million will be automatically transferred into the community rewards pool as tributes and mining. I wouldn't waste my time with these scam shitcoins anyway. I am almost sure that nothing will ever come from this shady "project". Read this: https://medium.com/@btcblooddiamond/bitcoin-diamond-is-a-scam-of-epic-proportions-7d7908c43c22 |

shouldn't pending transaction at least show up instantly?
Yes. From which wallet have you sent your coins and to with which one are you receiving? Also, do you have your transaction id? You could search it in any Bitcoin explorer to see if there is really an ongoing transaction. |
