I installed the new update and am now getting failed to execute script electrum. Any one know how to fix it? Using windows 7 here.
I have Windows 7 and version 3.0.5 is working without any problem.It seems the problem may be in missing windows file as some users report,after updating that file Electrum is not giving that error and works normally.I recommend you to before anything make a system restore point in Windows and also be sure you have correct seed. Check this link : https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/7hhnth/electrum_error/Link for download Windows update : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49077I think this update is for 32 bit Windows/check if 64 bit version is available. |

Back when bitcoin was cheap I bought some bitcoin, paid a vendor, never received the change. Although the blockchain shows the payment completed and verified. https://blockchain.info/address/1D4Zv4xretZ13mae4aKhgxivQqqicnVFKUThis is the transaction, but multibit HD shows the two transactions as pending with two arrows. I have restored the wallet numerous times from file and my seed phrase. I used the Mnemonic Code Converter v0.3.2 and with my seed phrase listed out 300+ keys and cannot find the key above from blockchain. I am not very savvy with bitcoin, but am learning slowly that I must have made a mistake somewhere. I know multibit is full of bugs and think that is it, I have lost my bitcoins. They show as unspent, but I cannot access them. Multibit HD shows the balance, but unconfirmed. Can anyone lend me some suggestions? Is your address 1D4Zv4xretZ13mae4aKhgxivQqqicnVFKU and you send BTC to 3EVobjzybY1rxSQMtB2z7Pt8o7dDeCeeDH ?This transaction is confirmed,but you use Multibit HD which is outdated and does not work properly. Download latest Electrum wallet from this link https://electrum.org/#home ( use only this link) and then use seed from MultiBit HD to restore your wallet in Electrum. Just follow this steps from video and after Electrum is sync you should see your balance/transactions confirmed : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-KcY6KUVnY |

Coinbase's decision to add Bitcoin Cash, before they implemented SegWit was a clear indication to me that they are showing their alliance. The fact that they are sabotaging Bitcoin by not implementing measures to reduce congestion on the network <Batching> is further proof of their intent.
Coinbase will go the same route as Circle. <Building a userbase and changing business model>
There may be some truth in what you say,but I think it is still harder to implement SegWit then add BitcoinCash.But Coinbase has recently announced that they working on this issue and that users can expect SegWit in this year.Also Roger Ver and BCH crew obviously have a very strong influence even on Coinbase,and this situation wich we have with high BTC fees for some time goes to their advantage but also to many other altcoins. When Coinbase add SegWit we will see how many differences will be in network congestion than what is now,surely some progress will be seen. |

Hello, differential350,
our (btc-exchange.com) fees are quite different from the market.
our BTC deposit and withdrawall fee in BTC currency itself (sending/getting BTC) has a fee of 0.5%, but no less than 0.005 BTC. This is soon to be changed to be much more friendly for small BTC/BTC transactions.
Trading is free. And this is very, I mean very, rare among other exhanges.
Regards,
btc-exchange.com
I'm interested is it something changed regarding BTC deposit fee which would now be around 70$?In combination with high transaction network fee these days every deposit would have extra 100$ which user need to pay.For some large deposit it may have some sense,but for small deposit of few hundred $ is really too much.Since your MasterCard is 100% free to use and Visa is completely down for EU,your service could be interest many new users. Deposit fee was lowered to 0.0025 BTC. It's still high, but much better than it was. But I think it would be better to have fixed deposit fee based in EUR, because BTC price is too much volatile and when Bitcoib price rises, fee become more expensive. Alongside their free MasterCard it's also worth to mention that trading on their service is also completely free without any fees. Thank you for this info,even 0.0025 BTC is maybe to high, but it is much better than before and as you say all other service they offer is free for EU residents.I'll definitely try Mistertango service and see how it work and I hope MasterCard will not experience the same destiny as Visa cards. Sounds nice.
But are these available worldwide? I'm talking about the card.
Or are they Wavecrest or something? Would love if they are different.
On their site with info about MasterCard is information "*EEA – European Economic Area (worldwide is coming)" so I think that card is only for EU now,but other services can be used outside of EU. |

Hello to all,
I am new at this and still confused.
My transaction ID is 3da40cc2d7e3807e268498905655b8211f2f0d38498dafb27553d1cb7306e617, it was done on 1/7/2018.
I have over 1000 confirmations, the merchant says they've not received the money yet.
My address is 13hZTN8F6ab3FYmRPS7uVFuHayyaksShgS
The merchants address is 3779tUNpUV3SKCiDdmq3nhGP5y2mk1SJmi
Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong.
I sent 0.00461997 bitcoin for a 0.003647 purchase. I let Electrum figure the amount to be sent.
The merchant has checked several times and says the payment has not been received and they will keep checking.
Thank you for any help.
Your transaction have in this moment 1160 confirmations and if address of merchant is correct then from your side everything is done properly.Problem is in merchant wallet or someone want to scam you,so just show them your transaction and insist that they solve problem on their side. If you can not solve your problem open a thread here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 |

BTC can reach 20 000$ in few days,this is not big problem-but how to keep it in that level is quite another thing.Strength of BTC should be in small people around the world,and in this moment they are in some way excluded because they can not pay high fees and they transaction get stuck for weeks.When that problem be solved, people will start to buy/sell use more BTC and money will flow again in BTC.
We see that it is impossible to even keep 16 000-17 000$ levels,whales always dump their coins and reverting us back.I think this year shoud be more focus on scalability and to regulation of cryptocurrency in world,until these issues are resolved price can just be pumped up and then go down again.

I was thinking to get one of these cards this year,but then this happened so I will wait to see how will these companies adjust and offer some new cards.I see Bitwala is working on new solution by making crypto bank,it will be interesting to see what can they do regarding this.
This move from Visa have some impact on users who use such service to convert crypto to fiat,but most of them will find a way to do that in some other ways(BTC ATMs or LocalBitcoins).There is no doubt that many users just want to convert crypto to fiat and use it in daily life,so the need for such services is likely to increase by the time when we get opportunity to pay direct in crypto with low fees.

Thinking about purchasing a small bar for about 150-200k. I have more bitcoin on hand than cash. Should I use the small amount amount of cash I have or sell bitcoin to purchase? I know I am probably better off doing nothing, especially if its crypto appreciation vs buying a bar but I'm getting old, its something I wanna do and its also good diversification. Any feedback, tax tips greatly appreciated. Thanks
You say that you getting old and that getting bar is something that you want to have,so I do not see any reason to not sell your BTC and fill your dream.Only thing you should look at is price of BTC,why sell at 13-14K$ if you can sell at 16-17K$ or more. Regarding tax you should visit you tax office and see what they say about BTC,in some countries you will pay 10%,in some others like Germany or Denmark you pay 0%. Some may say that you should hold BTC,but it is cryptocurrency and it should serve its purpose-it would be great if you can buy bar direct with BTC,maybe this is also option which you should consider? |

It is nice site which serves its purpose, but except automatic sync of data and forum/news option I do not see nothing special-in some way when you look CMC and this site it is almost like a copy with some small changes.But every cryptocurrency project is welcome and I think some users will use this site for checking crypto prices.
I see that there is no icon for every listed coin/also CMC have price widgets for websites which could be a nice addition to this site.

Thank YOU very much for the DOGE and also for "ignoring" my newbie status here. I have the account a few years now, when I first started getting involved with the cryptoworld, but then I paused for a couple of years and this is why I am still newbie here. I'll make sure to support your site daily either I see you on FH or not. You and your site deserve it  You're welcome for DOGE and I hope to see you more active here on forum,thank you for support my site You may notice that BTC&DOGE faucets pay very low rewards these days,it is because of high BTC price and very high fees on blockchain,many faucets owners just can not send BTC to their faucets in time because of that.Only way to pay less fees and speed up transaction is to start using SegWit enabled wallet/services while we wait Lighting Network. In the meantime try to focus on other coins,you never know how much one of FH available coins can be worth in the future.I know many of users have problem with wallets for different coins,but for start you can create deposit address for any coin on FH and use it for claims. |

I have to admit I'm surprised with such a development of events in South Korea,for me until recently it seemed that they go in the direction of Japan but instead they are going in direction of China and putting BTC on a black list.Although nothing is not over it only show that something is wrong between exchanges and politicians in SK government.It seems to me that these problems are initiated by some of them who did not get their piece of the pie or they think they did not get enough.
There will be more then 100 000 people who will sign this petition,yesterday it was only 50 000-and I think they can have some influence on government to not 100% ban cryptocurrency trading.BTC is survived without big China markets and it will survive even without South Korea exchanges.

you can restore your wallet from seed, and request a new Google Authenticator code during the restore process.
Thanks for your reply. How exactly I can restore? because when I click the exe, it opens the console and ask me to enter password which I do and it just opens up my wallet? thanks When wallet is open then you need to click on File-New/Restore option,select option that you have a seed and that you want to create 2FA wallet.You have option to disable 2FA or keep it/in this case you need to choose option I don't have my Google Authenticator code so you can restore them. This should solve your problem with 2FA,but be careful and keep your seed on safe place-it is only thing that can restore your wallet even if you lose your phone/2FA. |

Is this advice Electrum users must upgrade to 3.0.5 if they haven't already only for bitcoin electrum wallets or also LTC electrum wallets and Bitcoin Cash electrum wallets?
Thanks, G.P.
All version of Electrum wallets(BTC,LTC,BCH&DASH) are affected with this vulnerability and should be updated to latest version.For ElectronCash wallet this is fixed in version 3.1.2,and for LTC wallet it is fixed in version 3.0.5.1.For DASH Electrum wallet there is no info on their site about fixed version so it is assumed that old version is not safe to use. It is important that all users know that if they set good/strong password in any Electrum wallet before this vulnerability was discovered,there is not much to worry about. |

So I can use all addresses from the 'Addresses' tab?
Electrum automatically generate them all for privacy reasons?
Yes,you can use them because they are part of your wallet and they will always be in wallet.As I say before you can always use same address,but if you want more privacy then it is better that for every payment you use new address.Also when you want to send to someone for example 0.1 BTC and you have in total 0.5,Electrum will send 0.1+fee to destination address and 0.4 will be send to change address(for free).This is also option which protect your privacy,but it can be deactivated if you want. You should take some time and read how Electrum work : http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html |

Depends how fast you want it to be confirmed. Fees are a little bit higher than they were a few months ago. A good reference point is here: https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/Before sending any transaction always check that website to avoid having transactions stuck for days on end. sorry if i jump into this thread, but i need a little help to understand better that site. I see that, the worst case scenario is 420 minutes: more or less 7 hours. It's not seem to me "days"... surely i miss something: can you tell me what? Thanks! I do not know where you are looking,but https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ on the top you will see up to 1200 minutes or "inf" which means infinity.Time for confirmations is estimated by number of block in which transaction should be confirmed,and also time in minutes which is go from 0-infinity. For example if you pay 281-290 satoshis/byte your transaction should be included in next 2-10 blocks and estimated time for that is from 5-180 minutes.You can also use other link I posted,if you know number of inputs/outputs and size of transaction you know how much fee you need to pay for specific time of confirmations. |

Hi, I have just got fresh new Ledger Nano S. After setup I successfully transferred my BTC and BCH balances form paper wallets to BTC (segwit) and legacy BCH address - for this I choosed to connect to BCH chain when asked by wallet app. All smooth. I then realized there is dedicated BCH app I can install from ledger app manager. Did it and then I tried to check the checkbox to setup default chains to connect to from either wallet (BTC for BTC wallet and BCH for BCH wallet) - so I could get rid of annoying prompt.
However, when I reconnect to check it, the default setting applies for both wallets, so I see BTC account/balance from both BTC / BCH wallets. When I try to change it through Settings > set blockchain in BCH wallet, the setting changes, but, helas, once again for both ledger wallets - after reconnecting I see BCH in my BTC wallet...
Did somebody went through this?
Thx in advance
mvan
You make a wrong step when you did not install first BCH wallet on device,but you say that you connect to BCH chain "when asked by wallet app"?Since you did not have proper BCH app you send BCH probably to BTC address.I did not claim my BCH with Ledger,instead of that I use ElectronCash wallet. What you should do is try option "split" as described in this link : https://ledger.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005173485-Step-by-step-procedure-to-secure-your-BCH-Main-Split-and-retrieve-balances |

Hello,
I entered Electrum 'Receive' tab and I saw that my address changed.
Both new and old addresses are present in Addresses tab.
Why Electrum change my address?
This is normal thing and Electrum do this just for your privacy-every time you receive BTC address in receive tab is changed to new one,but you can still use your old address any time.As you say both address + others are in address tab,and you can also see your change address there.You do not have to worry about it,it is good option to protect your privacy. |

Hello guys, i'm looking to transfer 0.05 btc, do you know how much fees i should pay for that transaction ? I'm a bit lost
Thank you
From what wallet/service you want to transfer that 0.05 BTC and how fast you want confirmations?As you may see in link Welsh posted,current fastest fee you can pay is 480 satoshis/byte or 100 000+ satoshi for size of 226 bytes transaction.It would be good to know how much inputs/outputs you have and size of transaction.Some wallets like Electrum allow you to see that before sending(preview option) so you can adjust fee based on that data. You can play with some settings based on time/blocks/inputs/outputs here : https://estimatefee.com/ |
