USDT is a omni token, which is built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. That's why you can send BTC to your USDT deposit address at Bittrex.

Only Bittrex can recover your coins. That's a fact. If they don't want to help you, then you unfortunately lost your coins.
14062  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Send BTC from a particular address? (Ledger Nano S) on: October 14, 2017, 12:36:02 AM
Not sure if this would work, but it's worth the try.

1. Import your Ledger Nano S in Electrum;
2. Select the "Addresses" tab; (if it's not showing: View -> Show Addresses)
3. Right click the address you want to spend the coins and choose "Spend from";

Please report here if it worked.

I suggest you to register an account at AltPocket.io; It's a portfolio that automatically pulls all your trades from some exchanges (including Bittrex) and shows your open investments.

E.g: If you buy 1 LTC for 0.0105 BTC, your profile at AltPocket will show an open LTC investment.

If the Litecoin price goes to 0.012 BTC, the portfolio will show that your investment made you a profit of 0.0015 BTC.
or if the price goes down to 0.009 BTC, the portfolio will show that your investment made you lose 0.0015 BTC.

When you close your investment by selling your 1 LTC, your profile will show your overall profit, net worth, and old investments.

See for yourself how the website looks like by checking this user profile and his investments: https://altpocket.io/user/Wolfworld
14064  Economy / Exchanges / Re: ShapeShift vs Changelly on: October 14, 2017, 12:05:23 AM
I've read many horror stories on Changelly. Are you sure you're getting a better rate?
Changelly only has crappy rates when you want to exchange USD to BTC - most likely because you pay with Credit Card. Right now, if you want to buy 1 BTC you need to pay $6535, which is $1000 over the market price. AFAIK, the Crypto <-> Crypto exchange is sometimes even better than the one from ShapeShift (they also have a higher maximum per transaction);

It really depends on you to check both websites for the best price before making a transaction.
14065  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Mining by using website visiters on: October 13, 2017, 11:07:57 PM
I dont see it as a negative thing, i prefer this way because websites are getting revenue only by website mining instead of putting thousands of ads that are pure garbage.
If there is a website that i use to visit everyday, then i would prefer to have an opened mining client on my computer instead of having a headacche because of those crap ads.
It is better for me, and websites are making better revenue from this.
The website is probably earning less than their ads, while their users see an increase in their CPU usage, making them stop visiting the website. Plus, if you want to do that with your website, at least write a warning or let users choose if they want to contribute, instead of hiding that from the regular user.

I don't mind ThePirateBay do that, for example. Meanwhile, there are websites that are pure garbage and are starting to use ads + web miners to milk their users - which don't deserve anything from me.

From the source posted by krishnapramod above: the majority of websites using web miners belong to the TV/Movies category. Imagine a user that don't know anything about cryptocurrencies, start marathoning his tv show for more than 4 hours, without knowing that his CPU is being used to mine Monero... That's just shady.

14066  Economy / Exchanges / Re: where to buy btc with less fees on: October 13, 2017, 10:12:12 PM
Btw, If you are going to buy with Coinbase, use GDAX (which is Coinbase's exchange) instead of the user-friendly buy form from your account; You will probably save a ton of money in fees. Making it even cheaper to buy your coins. Check this video[1] for more information.

14067  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum wallet asks for google authenticator 2fa on: October 13, 2017, 09:43:19 PM
Do you have your wallet seed? If so, you can disable 2FA.

In Electrum, create a new wallet with "File" -> "New/Restore" -> Select "Standard Wallet" or "Wallet with two-factor authentication" -> "I already have a seed" -> Paste your seed -> Select "Disable";

This version is current only running in the Bitcoin testnet chain. I would wait until they release a working version for the regular user that is probably going to come with a video or guide.

Are you looking for a safe and private VPN and email provider? Check privacytools.io[1] for unbiased reviews about VPN's and Email's.
I myself would use ProtonMail (can be used for free or extra features that can be paid with Bitcoin) and NordVPN (has a free 3 days trial);

14070  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reason for the recent pump to over 5000 USD on: October 13, 2017, 12:34:04 AM
One of the reasons could easily be the S2X fork that is happening next month. People want their free "airdrop" just like what happened to Bitcoin Cash, so they are selling all their altcoins for Bitcoin. Just check all the other cryptocurrencies and you will see how the recent Bitcoin rise is correlated with the price drop on all other altcoins.

We may even see another rise if S2X dies in a few months and Bitcoin keeps it economic majority. Check the other threads before making the same question over and over again.
14071  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How to sweep a paper wallet into an Electrum wallet using a cold storage setup on: October 12, 2017, 08:45:12 PM
2. When I want to send/sell/etc Bitcoin, I want to sweep my paper wallet bitcoins into Electrum, but I want to use the cold storage setup of Electrum so I don't ever put private keys on a machine that is connected to a network/internet.

How do I generate and save the transaction I want on my internet connected (watch only) Electrum wallet so I can transfer to the offline cold storage Electrum wallet for signing? (again, I'll use Tails for the Electrum cold storage wallet)
To do this, you will probably need 2 devices.

1 connected to the internet (watch only)
1 not connected to the internet (the wallet itself)

To create those wallets:
  • 1. In your connected device: open Electrum to create a new wallet and choose: Standard wallet -> Use public or private keys -> Paste your public key (address); This will be your watch-only wallet.
  • 2. In your offline device: do the same as step 1 but with your private key instead of public key.

When you want to spend your coins:
  • 1. Go to the connected device, open Electrum -> "Send" -> Fill the address you want to send the coins to and the amount.
  • 2. Click "Preview" -> "Save" -> Save the txt file with the unsigned transaction to your flash drive.
  • 3. Now go to your offline device and open your offline wallet -> Tools -> Load transaction -> From a file.
  • 4. Choose the txt file with your unsigned transaction from step 2.
  • 5. Click "Sign" -> "Save" -> Save the signed transaction to your flash drive.
  • 6. Now, go to your online device again and:
  • a. Broadcast the transaction from a website (e.g: https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/pushtx/).
  • b. Load the signed transaction file (just like the step 3) and click "Broadcast" to send the transaction.

Edit: This video follows the same proccess described above - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQumISxkJsQ

seriously guys, use electrum ... its portable, put it on a stick and enjoy.
why would you want to send money via browser over a 3rd party server when you can have direct connection to the network.
webbrowser are somewhat secure but you cant trust a 3rd party server with your keys. period.
Coinbin isn't storing your keys anywhere. As I said, "you can download the website source and run it locally (without internet). You only need an internet connection to push transaction.";
Electrum is still better and safer, but the OP is asking for a wallet similar to MyEtherWallet. And I suggested him one.

I don't think we can rely on coinb.in as anyone with your email and pass can access your wallet there.
That's an easy fix. Don't let anybody get your email and password?
14074  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Help with time lock signature on: October 12, 2017, 02:18:09 AM
Are you talking about a Coinbin generated Time Locked Address?

If so, make sure you go to Coinb.in and do the following:

1. Go to New -> Transaction[1].
2. Paste your redeem script and click Load.
3. Paste the address you want to send the coins to at "Address" and the amount (minus fees) at "Amount".
4. Click Submit and copy the result.

5. Go to Sign[2].
6. Paste the output from the New Transaction page and the private key from the address you choose when generating the Time-locked address.
7. Copy the signed output and broadcast[3] it.

I did this exactly proccess last week with an address I had and it worked without any issues.

14075  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [ANN] BTC Sniffer: Bitcoin P2P Network Sniffer & Events Trigger on: October 11, 2017, 08:07:08 PM
Open source? I hope so, since this is about ten minutes of coding and is the easiest thing to do. Would hate to have someone install a Trojan over some elementary school code signal and triggers, not even real coding in the first place, just response triggers. So, please tell us that it is all out there for everyone to see, because otherwise, no one will touch it.
You could have spent 10 seconds of your life to at least read the first 2 lines of the thread where OP links his GitHub repo and says that "BTC Sniffer is a Python script" instead of posting this.

Edit: LOL. Just saw after the last post that this was posted 5 years ago.
14076  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is there something like myetherwallet for Bitcoin? on: October 11, 2017, 07:50:30 PM
That looks like a very useful tool.  Is there any advantage in generating a SegWit address over a regular one?
Yes. The only way we can see Segwit's at full capacity and lower fees is if more people start sending Segwit transactions. Current only ~9% of all Bitcoin transactions is using Segwit.

I am making a paper wallet for someone else to store funds so I want to make sure they can access them later in the future. I know for cold storage paper wallets I should just need an address and private key right?
Yes. You need the Address to fund it with coins and the private key to spend them. This wallet from Coinbin also lets you see your private keys, so you can use it on any other wallet software.

Hi,
I am planning to open a bittrex account but looks like they do not allow US dollars funding from a bank account.
Which other sites should I look for? I want to start investing in altcoins using transfer from a bank account.
I felt coinbase has high fees. And kraken cannot transfer at this time.
Thanks in advance
You can buy Bitcoins directly from GDAX (Coinbase exchange) to avoid paying Coinbase's fee. Check this video[1] for more information.

FYI,myetherwallet is not the most secure wallet out there,I wouldn't touch anything with a 10 foot pole which exhibits on the web especially if I'm  to store my money in there.Anyway,what would an investor know about the technical side of cryptos ? Undecided
You clearly don't know how MEW works. It's basically just a client-side page for your wallet. Nothing is stored anywhere other than your wallet file that is used to open and manage your wallet or nothing at all if you want to open your wallet with its private key.

Is that thing open-sourced ? How can you see the stuff is generated completely online without having the db to  interfere ? No matter how you put it,I still think downloading the official chain does the job  for me.Blockchain.info is your closest friend which is quite secure from a long time.
And now you are saying that Blockchain.info - which wallet is stored in their database - is "quite secure"; Even after your comment saying that you wouldn't "touch anything which exhibits on the web" (?).



If you are looking for something similtar to MEW, I suggest you Coinbin[1], which is open source, don't require any internet connection and can be used from any PC if you have the email and password chosen when generating the wallet.

14079  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [Unofficial] Exodus Wallet | Multi-Currency | Built-in Exchange on: October 11, 2017, 05:26:25 PM
Will be any plan for zcash and monero  Huh
ZCash is tagged as "evaluating" in Exodus roadmap - with this comment: "If the Zcash network remains stable and has continual upgrades it is likely we will support this asset in 2017."

About Monero, I posted this last week:
I would like to see Exodus support Monero (XMR) as soon as possible.

I created a subreddit post here for people to up-vote to get their attention:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ExodusWallet/comments/7499sd/feature_request_monero_xmr_support/

Please up-vote the feature request post I made so we can make this a higher priority for them!
You could also join their Slack[1] to talk directly with a dev. But IMO they are already looking forward to support Monero.
This comment[2] was posted over 8 months ago by the Exodus co-founder but it means that they are already looking on how to integrate Monero to Exodus as soon as possible.

Quote
Just so you know, Monero support is our #1 requested feature. It beats out hardware wallet support (#2 requested) by at least 100% - so we're strongly financially incentivized to make it happen.

Unfortunately it's going to be awhile, as we won't release until the UX of Monero feels like every other asset inside of Exodus.

14080  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: quick question on SegWit2X on: October 11, 2017, 05:02:54 PM
I know a little about Bitcoin and I've heard a lot of rumors of how SegWit2x is going to ruin the value/reputation of the Bitcoin and the market/investing stuff, but what is its direct impact on my Bitcoin?
There are a lot of ways to see SegWit2x and how can it be bad or good.

Some reasons why the fork is bad:
- It is a hardfork, so there is a risk of a permanent fork.
- It is a blocksize increase, so less people will be able to store the whole blockchain.
- Core is not in favour of a blocksize increase.
- The 2x is pushed by miners, who were not supposed to be able to control the protocol.
(source)

I figured I get free Bitcoin Gold in the Oct 25 but I have no idea what stuff I get from SegWit2x. Do I get double the amount of Bitcoin?
If you have X Bitcoins before the fork, after it happens you will also have the same amount in the other chain.
Example: If you have 1 Bitcoin, after the Bitcoin Gold fork you will have 1 BTC and 1 BTG. The same also happens with SegWit2X. If you have 1 BTC, you will also have 1 B2X in its chain;
