14141  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?
14144  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.

14145  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.
14146  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.

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.

14150  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;

Did they change the rules on their accelerator service?

The last time I looked, they refused to accelerate transactions that paid less than 10 satoshis per byte?
They didn't.

You still can't submit transactions with a fee bellow 10 sat/byte. In this case, ConfirmTX.com is also free for transactions with a size of up to 500 bytes.



If you sign up to their service the limit is removed. Oh yeah... You also have to sign up...
Don't you need a cloud mining contract to have the limit removed?
14152  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: GreenAddress.it - Has anyone used this wallet? on: October 11, 2017, 04:38:45 PM
any long experience with this wallet ?
I used this wallet for a few months last year and it worked as it should. The big "bonus" is the Segwit support that is already implemented in both GreenAdress and GreenBits app.
You can read about a few features GreenAdress has in this page: https://greenaddress.it/en/faq.html

WageCan[1] is only of the few card that is not issued by Wave Crest nor Mychoice - which means that it will work worldwide. The only problem is that the card costs $162 (don't really know why).
My other choice would be the TenX card, which can be loaded with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and will support other cryptocurrencies in the future.

14154  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: making paper wallet to paper wallet transaction on: October 10, 2017, 11:09:33 PM
You will need to use a wallet to sweep the coins from one paper wallet to the other.

If you have an phone, the best way is to download the MyCelium app and do the "cold storage" process to sweep your private keys coins to a new address. Check this video[1] if you need help;

or if you don't have a phone, import your paper wallet in Electrum and send the coins to the new paper wallet address.

No. You may create as many wallets/addresses as you want and don't save their private keys/backup seed.

The sole purpose of this information is to guarantee access to your wallet/address and its coins if there is any problems in the future or if you want to use them in another device. Since the wallet is empty, it doesn't matter.
14156  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: TxTimer.com - Get notified when your Bitcoin transaction is confirmed on: October 10, 2017, 09:55:38 PM
Blockchain.info already providing this function/option e-mail and sms all for free without any deduction even if they want to they couldn't because they have no access to your funds. you could also receive notification if you import an address as a watch only.
Blockchain will only send you a notification when you receive a transaction. This is not the purpose of this tool. Just read the title and you will understand what is this website for.

"Get notified when your Bitcoin transaction is confirmed"

This free service sends you a text or email when your bitcoin transaction has been confirmed:

"This website is only accessible from the United States."
14157  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Tails vs Bitkey vs Glacier Protocol vs other cold storage on: October 10, 2017, 09:47:15 PM
I use Bitkey for my long-term storages. It's as easy as downloading and flashing the image in a flash drive, so the regular user won't have any problems with creating a safe environment without having to sacrifice their safety for convenience.

I imagine that you could download several tools for other altcoins - like MyEtherWallet - and use it in the same offline device along with the traditional Electrum wallet for BTC.
14158  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Poloniex Account frozen Help ? on: October 10, 2017, 06:44:15 PM
You can't do anything but send them a support ticket and wait (probably for a long time) until they answer you and maybe unfreeze your account. Poloniex has one of the worst supports I have ever seen and you need to be ready to risk waiting more than 1 month for an answer.

If you have a huge amount of money in your account (something with 6 digits), you could create a reddit thread in /r/bitcoin, which will very likely reach the front page and force them to answer you.

It's also not profitable to do faucets, but people tend to spend their day doing captchas for cents - even if it's not worth the eletricity. This kind of web mining is just an extra "income" for those that just want a few satoshis just by letting their PC idling without having to do any investment or hard work. There's a user base for everything.
14160  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: Mycelium Bitcoin Wallet on: October 10, 2017, 02:32:34 AM
Nice to see that they are still updating mycelium wallet. Just wondering when they will release the one with Segwit support. We need it soon so we can all maximize our bitcoin use.

I get the impression that they're not going to add it, but I could be wrong: https://www.reddit.com/r/mycelium/comments/72cod2/request_update_of_segwit/dnw1gy1/?context=3
That's just stupid. How can Mycelium, one of the most used BITCOIN wallets, prefers to focus on integrating Bitcoin Cash and Dash (?) instead of adding Segwit support? This + all the russian ICO bullshit are two of the main reasons why I'm uninstalling the app and starting to use Samourai for my mobile transactions.
