Some even tried to copy you 
And I like the fact that more people participate in the airdrop, although some will just dump their coins on the market.



Your rate is ~half of what they can get from the airdrop.
Also I hope that you don't really expect somebody with 1000BTC+ on cold storage to just risk^* signing your message for 0.5%.

^* by risk I mean that cold storage and paper wallet are anti-hack measures and signing could just bring them a (tiny) risk to get hacked; I know that you cannot do any harm by getting that signed message

If there was a hack, there's a good chance the admin didn't find out, and never will. And this is not about Bitsler, it's a general rule.
Yahoo.com has found out from other sources long after they were hacked iirc.

As general rules: whenever you have a suspicion about a site getting hacked, change your password. And/or change it even without any suspicion every now and then. And use 2FA everywhere you can.

"Buy the rumor, sell the fact". What if the current "steady grow" is just a pump before the Chinese coming in; and then the dump will happen?
I don't like to be on the same with Kwukduck but watching your back never hurts.
Bitcoin had a great rise lately and sooner or later it will need a correction.

The main 2 rules of trading/speculation are:
* never invest more than you afford to lose.
* never get trading advice from random unknown people over the internet.


Iamnotback combines smart things with not so smart ones and, like everybody, tries to get some more money. Sometimes he get it right, sometimes not; I don't know if he wants to delude people into bad trading so I will not give an opinion in that direction. His ban evading history is, on other hand, from bad to worse...

Kwuckduck is funny imo, on every big rise of Bitcoin he starts warning about "the end is near". Of course that Bitcoin may have downtrends too sooner or later, but lately after each Kwuckduck thread Bitcoin rose

Your transaction was not dropped by everybody. You can still find it on most blockchain explorers. https://btc.com/3ae281c00bb10935ff2638102f9be71c888c95a33ef21a2e5770dab856e759a0
Your transaction uses 2 inputs and one is also unconfirmed (low fee).
Neither of the wallet addresses for inputs or change is 1G8AqNDS92zCUumVTHdhLnDu7MRMAAPjs3.
The 3 addresses are 125QggAD3jP6TRqDt5bYKRqVgKGBxURP7C, 13gYgZLYLY7cXaCsqimASXvK2d2E3jBJks and 13WDETyK5XVdxwnqjnuA7XMehz5HerxRwd; I expect you wallet knows them.

Make a fresh backup of your wallet and/or the private keys of the addresses I told you about. I would get the private keys of all the addresses I can from that wallet and move to another one since people are reporting quite some bugs there lately.
However: Reset blockchain and transaction data, it may do the job.
If that doesn't work, I would import the private keys into Bitcoin Core wallet (although that using bitcoin QT means a download of over 100 GB of data to sync)

PS. You may have to resend (or move all your money) to another of your addresses with high fee to make sure that the initial transaction (3ae281c00bb10935ff2638102f9be71c888c95a33ef21a2e5770dab856e759a0) will not be confirmed after some more days.
PS2. You still have another unconfirmed transaction too, remember? If that's under your control, that's the one you should send to a new address of yours with high fee; else use a really high fee for the double spend of 3ae281c00bb10935ff2638102f9be71c888c95a33ef21a2e5770dab856e759a0 to trigger a CPFP.

ViaBTC accelerator is for free, but it's very crowded right now.
I think that it's your only chance to do this for free, so go there often enough until you don't get the "Submissions are beyond limit. Please try later." message.
The link is https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/

I see that this airdrop will be a real success. It looks like quite a lot of new people came to link their wallets.
Congrats Byteball!
I just hope that many will keep the coins, not sell them.

The network is busy and for a transaction to get processed (confirmed) it requires pretty big fee. Pending means, I guess, that the transaction was not confirmed.
There's a pretty high chance that the transaction was dropped and this means that "it never happened" (thus you'll not get that money)

I've sent some proposals in your form.
I think that an exchange today should handle more than just Bitcoin.
Good luck!

Also keep in mind that your transaction has an input that comes from a transaction that is also not confirmed: a6631206094461b357f2da764eafe1fd3b9385f00813ed3549f76936ea46f92c

So there are 2 transactions with 120 sat/byte that need to be confirmed: yours and the source for some of your money.

Laptop mining is not profitable.
You can burn your GPU if you mine 24/7 and CPU mining it's not worth it unless you use the laptop for something else too.

Monero/XMR is pretty good for CPU mining, but again, it will not make you profit.

USB miner - there are 2 types of USB miners: SHA265 (Bitcoin) and Scrypt (Litecoin, Dogecoin) (actually there are also SHA256+Scrypt which allows even to mine both).
Bitcoin miner cannot be used for Litecoin / Dogecoin.
Litecoin / Dogecoin miner cannot be used for Bitcoin.

I think that Gekkoscience miner is Bitcoin miner.
And from what I know there's no such USB miner that gives you profit, their electricity/hash rate ratio is not too good.
USB miners are hobby miners.

Although the volumes are 20x lower than Polo, Bittrex is the next choice.
Cryptopia also trade Monero (and it looks like people missed it) but the volumes are some 100x lower than Bittrex...

Keep in mind that getting satoshi from faucets usually ends up with Bitcoin wallets with amounts of 0.01BTC or less, but consisting of a lot of small inputs.
And you will be very sad to see that most of the hard earned money will have to be spent on tx fee because of the big number of small inputs.
You should really read this before thinking of faucets: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1898417.msg18842902#msg18842902

(Of course, you can use Xapo or other 3rd party wallets to "fix" this, but some may also requires fess and the money is in their possession, not yours)

From what I see in the image you posted the shares you are sending are rejected.
From what I've read here ( https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining/comments/2mjr2c/help_100_reject_highhash/ ) this may be due the fact you try to send sha256 (bitcoin) shares to a litecoin pool.
This means that you have wrong miner software or wrong settings.

That's also why mining looked this profitable to you. Really, mining litecoin with GPU is not an option now.
Try ETH, XMR, XEC, XZC, ... read more, you'll find the right coin for your card.

I liked him more when he was not playing the ban-evading game.
Oh well, it looks like some smart guys can be very stupid sometimes.
Thanks Spoetnik for the news, even if they are not so good.

LOL!

He's already missing for more than 2 weeks.
I don't know how long are the bans, I hope that's not a permanent ban and I hope that he'll be back in 2 weeks or so.
I guess that being "just a bit crazy too" made him get the ban (although I don't know the story) and I hope that the fact that "he was pretty smart" counts, making his ban shorter. I think that he's a valuable member of this forum.

Since normal people mine LTC with ASIC, the fact that you see no shares doesn't tell much.
Your hash rate is too small to see anything useful, even if you are actually mining.

You'd better try to mine with GPU something that will return more than the tx fee. If you find the right coins you may even get some profit.
You know that electricity doesn't come for free, I hope.

The 12 words are NOT the private key. They are a SEED based on what certain wallets can re-create your private key(s).
You can read more about this by searching on the internet for Brainwallet (or try https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Brainwallet).

The private key is a longer string which is really hard to memorize.

One of the inputs for your transaction comes from 86b83900eb92fed174f5f620325c4bfe9b4f28ab0d26cf852a61ebba6eac59b3
That's a big transaction, 25kb with zero fee. And you need that one to get confirmed in order to have yours confirmed.

Accelerating that will not work with ViaBTC since the fee is zero. I don't know how CPFP could work for such a big transaction with so many outputs...
However, the problem is not your transaction; the problem is the source of your money (well, one of the sources).

I don't complain, just I want to inform: the confirmation estimation is quite inaccurate. (Estimated ~34 blocks, result 1-2 blocks.)

I made a withdraw, it showed some ~34 blocks for low fee. I used it since I was not in a hurry and the mempool is getting freed up so I expected the result would be less than the 34.
After the transaction was displaying on blockchain.info I've seen that the fee was ~70 sat/byte and although everywhere they say you need ~120 sat/byte there are almost no transactions with over 60 sat/byte (according to https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx) and indeed, the transaction was confirmed in the next 1 or 2 blocks.
