If you can't export your private key in a click of a button then Its useless I'd say also a lot of people are using the ERC20 tokens and not ethereum itself so again, they will be losing a lot of users If they are not supporting that, I say Myetherwallet is still a better alternative for the moment.
this is the big issue i see. at first, i was excited, since MEW is occasionally unusable/service down. with the ICO craze still in full swing, and airdrops still flowing left and right, it'd be great to have more options for reliable web wallets with access to ERC tokens. i don't really need another web wallet just to store ETH. i have a desktop client for that. hopefully they will add support for ERC tokens in the next few months. i'm sure there is demand for it from their customers. Well, MyEtherWallet is just a client so you can see and manage your wallet from your key. Since you have access to your private key, you can access your wallet anywhere, even if the wallet is down. That's why MEW is the best option if you want to create a ETH wallet. Blockchain is essentially hosting your private keys for you. Not the best option and not offering all the freedom you should have.

is hardware wallet more secure? Since login is using hardware
It's way safer simple because your private keys will never touch your computer or phone that may contain malwares. The hardware is the one responsable for signing your transaction and the only thing your computer will see is the transaction already read to be broadcasted to the network.
thanks for sharing, in that case which will u recommend?
Hardware wallet if you believe that you have enought to be worth having one. Paper wallet if you have a low amount of Bitcoins and you would spend way more in a hardware wallet.

This is exactly why I don't trust hardware wallets like this. I would rather flip a coin and write down the key myself if I had enough patience. At any point in time, Trezor could start spitting out backdoors into their hardware wallets. And for that reason, I will never use one.
You still need physical access to the hardware to do this kind of "hack". And looks like they already fixed it. If someone has access to your paper wallet, they will have access to your wallet aswell. Everything has their pros and cons. It's not like it's much safer.

Btw. how much time does it take until I can see the the credit? Maybe it takes some time.
You should see it instantly. Have you tried to check the address that may contain the BCC in the Blockchair Explorer[1] to see if you really have coins in that wallet? After making the search, you will probably see results for both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash chain. Or you may also just go to: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/address/<your BCC address> [1] https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/

Don't use it. For android, download Mycelium/Copay/Electrum. 1. Freewallet is an web wallet that has full control over your private keys. Use a app that gives you full control for yous coins, or they are not yours. 2. There was reports of funds getting stolen while using any of the Freewallet apps[1].

The ban will end someday, when it ends you can join Campaigns again, just wait.
Or meanwhile, I think your avatar spot is disponible, right? You could try finding an Avatar campaign or like hosseinimr93 said above, join a Social Media campaign, micro tasks on Services section.
He won't join a Avatar campaign anyway because he can't set a avatar - only Full Member's or above are able to do that. As the signature says, the ban will end at 25 August 2017. Just wait until them and you will be able to wear a signature and join a campaign again. Just don't spam for cents next time.

OK, If I create new wallet.dat on one electrum client, it is will be different wallets? I need it for get my BTH from old btc wallet or I can't get my BTH if I will be use one client..
I didn't understand 100% about your question. If you want to claim your BTH from an old BTC wallet, you can just: 1. Send your Bitcoins to a new wallet with Electrum; 2. Download Electron Cash[1] and open your old wallet with it - that doesn't have BTC anymore, but still has BTH; 3. Now you have a wallet with BTC and your old one with BTH. Any wallet created on Electrum or Electron Cash are valid on both chains. This means that you can receive BTC/BTH on the same wallet (not recommended) and be able to spend both coins by using its proper software. Bitcoin = Electrum Bitcoin Cash = Electron Cash P.s: wallet.dat is only for Core. Electrum will create a normal file without any extension. [1] http://www.electroncash.org/

The one from BTC.com only works for Alipay users at the moment. I actually made a post on your other thread (not sure why you made two) recommending a user that seems to be accelerating transactions.

If you have a Android, I found an app yesterday that automatically syncs your portfollio from several exchanges (Polo, Krakaen, BitTrex, etc) with your API Key and let you see how much of each coins you have in total. CoinAlarm & Widget - For Bitcoin, Ethereum altcoin - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.coninalarm
Or altpocket[1] let's you import all your trades from Bittrex and Poloniex. It will show your profit/losts in USD and BTC for each investment you make. [1] https://altpocket.io

Is there any guide to how restore a wallet with electrum or is it so simple that there is no need of a guide?
It's so simple that even a kid can do it. If you want to restore by using your wallet file, just copy and paste it anywhere and select the file in the Electrum's "Install Wizard". ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F05%2F14%2Fblob855dcfafaede823b.png&t=665&c=9Bah104AcK_Waw)
Or if you want to restore with your seed, follow the Install Wizard, select "I already have a seed", input your seed in the field and click Next.

I experienced this today and I don't know what to do, I just wait like an hour but it gone now, I thought I have internet connection problem and I did troubleshoot it so many times. I hope it gone forever, hehehe.
I always experience this if I log in and usually for 2hrs and off this,after that I open again and the gateway or status 504 show to me? What is the problem for my connection?
This has nothing to do with your internet connection. It's the forum getting too much traffic and getting overload. I'm getting this error almost every day, and yesterday particularly, I couldn't access the forum for 2 hours straight. It's probably caused by the amount of traffic the forum is getting because of the Bitcoin's recent high.

Okay thank you. So what can I do now? Is it possible that my transaction will stuck forever? Apparently I'm not the only one with a 80 satoshi/byte transaction. What can I do?
Your transaction is 100% not stuck forever. The only problem is that is going to take some time to get confirmed, but it's getting confirmed for sure. I expect a tx with fee of 80 sat/byte to take at least ~12 hours or 1 day to get confirmed. Also, there is nothing else you can other than pay someone to manually accelerate your tx, so just wait.

I value my privacy and loved Bitmixer.io but it is gone. What is the next best one that doesn't rip you off? Thanks..
I guess now after Bitmixer.io closed,the most popular currently is chipmixer I really don't know if it's the best in the industry but you still may take a look at it in Service ANNs section. To be honest I really don't know why people would use third party services such as mixers.What do you mean by privacy?Isn't bitcoin anonymity enough for you? Bitcoin isn't that anonymous. Anyone can track you through the Blockchain if they know where to start and have and has the motivation to do this. That's why ChipMixer may be the best when it comes to mixing and anonymizing your transactions. I may be biased because of my signature, but I trully believe in their mixing process. ChipMixer creates Bitcoin addresses (chips) and funds them with specific sizes. There are chips with 0.001 BTC, 0.002 BTC, 0.004 BTC and so on till 4.096 BTC. When you deposit your Bitcoins, you receive same amount in chips. For example you deposit 0.112 BTC and you receive 0.064 + 0.032 + 0.016. Each chip was funded before your deposit, so there is no link between them and your deposit on blockchain. They are already anonymous. With each chip, you receive its private key, so you can spend them any time you want. Check out the ANN thread if you want to know more[1]. [1] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1935098.0

What is a Market Order? [1] Market order (instant order) involves buying or selling cryptocurrency immediately at the best available price. On CEX.IO for buying with a market order, you select the amount of FIAT to spend (i.e. "Buy me enough bitcoins for $100 right this moment"). Selling with a market order is the same as Limit Order, except the best available price is used automatically What is a Limit Order? [2] A limit order is placed to buy or sell a pre-defined amount of cryptocurrency at a set price. Execution of this order type is not guaranteed until a price requested by the placing user can be matched with an opposite order from another user. Until full execution, the order may be canceled by the user at any time. You would use Marker Order when you want to sell all your coins immediately for the best price you can get for all of them. For example, you want to sell 10 coins at the market. There are buy orders for 4 coins at $10 and 6 coins at $8. You will sell 4 coins for $10 each and another 6 for $8 each. And you would use Limit Order when you want to sell 10 coins for at least $10 each and nothing less. If there are only 7 coins for this price at the buy order, you will sell those 7 for $10 and leave a order on the market for the remaining 3 coins at this same price to get executed when possible.

No need to use tor. The safest method would be: 1. Download the bitaddress.org source from GitHub[1], disconnect from the internet and generate a private key. 2. Print your private-key or write it down. You may also use a Bitcoin Mixer to hide your traces. So you buy from Bitstamp -> Send to mixer -> Withdraw to your address. No one will know if you still has access to the Bitcoins and the exchange can't link you to your address. [1] https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/releases

btw could you please advice any app for ios/andoid /web wallets to import private key and get my bitcoincash? wanna to convert it to bitcoin somewhere AFAIK, there are no mobile or web wallets which support Bitcoin Cash. I only know of 2 wallet software that support Bitcoin Cash: Bitcoin ABC and Electron Cash. Both of these are desktop wallets. The only one I know that has Bitcoin Cash is Coinomi for Android. They posted an article teaching users on how to add BCC as a coin on your wallet[1]. [1] https://medium.com/@coinomi/collecting-your-free-bitcoin-cash-coins-44fcc6008bb6

I wouldn't recommend you doing that. Brain wallets can be very insecure and could put your coins in danger. Yesterday, I answered a guy that was claiming losing 1 BTC with his Brain wallet after someone probably cracked the seed he created. Here is my answer:

AFAIK the user is not breaking any rules. Therefore, you may disagree with what he said, but this doesn't mean that his post should be deleted. That's called "freedom of expression".
There are already plenty spam in the forum to mods care about. If you desliked what someone said, just ignore him.

I do not understand anything, do you want the price to increase or do you want the price to fall?
He wants Bitcoin cheaper so he can buy more. Isn't that obvious? I actually feel the same, and am sad that the price is rising crazy while I don't have more money to buy. What about the next hardfork of bticoin to implement segwit 2x? That bring s the current hype for bitcoin. But remember the bitcoin cash was nothing right now, the price always get plunged and the more people just want to get the free bucks from sell the bticoin cash. BCC doesn't have the future.
There is actually a chance that Core is not following the 2mb blocks part of the agreement, which may lead Bitcoin to a third chain split, where we will have Bitcoin Cash, Core/Segwit Bitcoin and Segwit2x Bitcoin. This may cause a crash/pump of the same proportion (or even bigger) to Bitcoin's price as we had recently with Bitcoin losing 40% of its value before reaching ATH.
