But wallets can still be able to have the option to use RBF or not even if all nodes support full RBF, but just that it won't be like before that some transactions are made on those non recommended wallets that are not RBF transactions by default and the seed phrase or private key can not be imported on wallet like Electrum to pump the fee because RBF is not opted in for. Just that now, if a wallet do not support it, the transaction fee can be pumped using a wallet that support full RBF through seed phrase importation?
... Since each node has their own mempool, the replacement transaction for a transaction ( without rbf flag) will be broadcasted to the nodes that enabled full rbf and wont be broadcasted to those who don't. So if all nodes support it, it definitely can reach a pool or solo miner that supports full-rbf, then " Use Replace-By-Fee" setting wont be necessary. But from the current stand-point, it may take years to reach a consensus.

I haven't used the wallet before, but I've heard that when you send bitcoins the transaction can be cancelled for a short time.
It mainly depends on the setting: " Tools->Preferences->Transactions->Use Replace-By-Fee". If it's disabled, the option " cancel (double-spend)" wont show up in the unconfirmed transaction's right-click menu. On a side note, that behavior might change depending on the Electrum servers and bitcoin node users' decision on " Full RBF" which is already available in the latest version of Bitcoin Core. If most Bitcoin Core nodes enable the option mempoolfullrbf=1 ( which is disable by default), the Electrum setting above wont be necessary.

Some Devs argued that connecting exclusively to onion servers wont provide you extra privacy, the selected main onion server is good enough. There's no explanation but maybe it's because your Electrum client will only sync with the server that you've selected, the "Connected nodes" are only for verification purposes. If you manually select an onion node, your Electrum client will only connect to that one node and no other. If that server went offline, Electrum wouldn't automatically pick a random "normal server" to connect to. OP needs to ensure he unticks the "Select server automatically" option as well. So, if your main onion node goes offline, you go offline as well and you have no connection. In that case, OP needs to find a different onion node to connect to without touching clearnet nodes. He's aiming for the " Multiple server" option in the tutorial that removes the " -1" arg which will enable Electrum to connect to other nodes ( servers). Manual selection in the GUI is basically the same as that since there's no checkbox or menu that will enable " oneserver". Notice that in the 'Network' settings, there are " Connected nodes" below, that's what the 'multiple servers' is about. But as mentioned, even if connecting exclusively to onion servers is implemented, it'll not improve his privacy even further. Additionally, using oneserver while connecting to other people's server is not as secure as using the multiple servers option.

Can I connect my Electrum wallet to more than one server but not normal server but with Onion?
There was a PR attempt in GitHub that wasn't merged: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/2191Click the link to the issue ( #2160) to see the discussion. Some Devs argued that connecting exclusively to onion servers wont provide you extra privacy, the selected main onion server is good enough. There's no explanation but maybe it's because your Electrum client will only sync with the server that you've selected, the " Connected nodes" are only for verification purposes.

You can also go to "console" and use the following command. listreceivedbyaddress 0 true Take note that addresses in his " Sending addresses" list will also be included in the command's results. Don't know why they implemented it like that though. I just want to know if there’s a way to check what’s the wallet address for that file? I want to check the total balance on the blockchain to know whether this wallet is worthy for a recovery or not. I used a strong password before that stored on a notepad saved on my desktop. Just load it to a fresh Bitcoin Core install and let it sync, it will check for the balance even if the wallet is password protected. I'd recommend v24.0 ( github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/releases/tag/v24.0) for this since loading the wallet is as easy as using the menu " File->Restore Wallet...".

Doesn't make much sense to keep the address in uppercase as Bech32 and Base58 are designed to prevent human error in the first place. Maybe I will open a pull request for this.
I think it's because it's stated in the proposal. BIP-0173 strongly suggests to encode Bech32 address as uppercase in QR Codes: github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0173.mediawiki#bech32A command line option to generate lowercase would be great. (it is a bit irony that bitcoin: part is lower case, whilst address isn't)
Setting it to uppercase will further increase the incompatibility of the QR Code. There's a discussion about that in Bitcoin Core's GUI repo GitHub: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui/issues/145

-snip- today, i open a pdf file and that file just stole all my bitcoin in the electrum wallet
any advise?
There should be something more to this than just a pdf file wiping out your Electrum. There is no reported vulnerability in Electrum that's directly linked with pdf files. If you need advice, please provide more info on what happened. But in the end, that confirmed bitcoin transaction cannot be reversed by anyone.

I think that 25 phrase is more reliable and has more security
If that's the case, then " 26 phrase" is better, or better yet 27 words~ :P Anyways, Linking the seed phrase's number of words or wallet's security to scam is unreasonable, people get scammed even if they are using hardware wallets. Scammers are fooling victims into sending them funds willingly, so the issue isn't the wallet's security.

By the way, it's there any reason for blurring them while some were left open?
He didn't answer Little Mouse's question as well: Everything is clear but what I'm concerned is why have you blurred the address in the url section while the same address is available right after the payment url. Or what is missing which I can't find or understand.
Nor reply to Husna QA's mention of the uncensored part of the image: You are censoring Bitcoin addresses on the barcode and URI but not censoring the Address field.
My guess is: The QR Code is censored so that user wont accidentally scan it, and the URI part of the invoice is censored so users wont be able to click it ( but it's an image :P).

I imported a key via mycelium but it didn't display any balance, only giving me addresses with zero balances. I rechecked in blockchain for balance and found it was there until now.
First, make sure that the private key that you've imported is the key of the address that you're trying to import: In Mycelium, click on the " Accounts" tab and select your " Bitcoin SA" account that was created when you imported the prvKey. Then go to " Balance" tab to see the address ( click the QR Code to switch to the other address types). - If one of the address is the same as the one with balance, then it's a simple server issue in Mycelium. To rescan: go back to the " Accounts" tab and select your " Bitcoin SA" account, then click the menu ( three dots) and select " Reload Account". Wait for a few minutes until the loading animation stops. - If none of the addresses is correct, then you might have a different private key.

What wallet did you use?. I have the same problem. I need to take contol of and address from Electrum Dash. I already have the private keys of the address, but looking for a good Dash wallet to recover control and make a small transaction.
Thanks, also for @nc50lc for the BIP39 tool for Electrum, very important!!!
You can still use the archived version of Electrum Dash ( link), import the private keys(s) to a new wallet using the option " Import Dash Addresses or Private Keys" instead of 'standard wallet'. There are still online servers to connect to but I can't guarantee their legitimacy so if you ever got an error message when attempting to send funds, just do not follow it. If ever, " export" the signed raw transaction instead and broadcast it using a push/broadcast service like ( blockchair.com/broadcast?chain=dash)

Just an update on this post: Here's to load a wallet properly in the latest versions: Paste it to the new PC's "wallets" folder inside bitcoin data directory, rename the wallet file or put it inside a folder with your preferred wallet name then Open Bitcoin Core and load using the menu: "File->Open Wallet". @ Chandu141If you have updated to Bitcoin Core version 24.0, you can simply use the new menu in the GUI: " File->Restore Wallet..". Select the wallet.dat file and Core will do all the necessary steps to load it properly.

well if ETH mining is profitable with 20 such cards and power consumption, why not... good luck.
ETH can't be mined with GPU after the latest update, it shifted from POW to POS so people are now " staking" ETH instead. But this is off-topic, just saying.

this time i found the wallet which i had a backup and i realised it was the one i tried to recover years back and yet i tried to add in new wallet which is fully synced and yet it shoed BTC balance.
now again i felt my coins are still there and trying to recover but after posting this thread again i rescanned but then i see no funds.
Okay, to prevent those false-positive balances, you must load the wallet properly next time. Replacing a previously loaded wallet.dat will likely result with the same scenario since it will not trigger a rescan and just show you the wallet's last " remembered" balance. Here's to load a wallet properly in the latest versions: Paste it to the new PC's "wallets" folder inside bitcoin data directory, rename the wallet file or put it inside a folder with your preferred wallet name then Open Bitcoin Core and load using the menu: "File->Open Wallet".

"Cannot load wallet(2) : WalletFileException('This version of Electrum is too old to open this wallet.\n(highest supported storage version: 49, version of this file: 50)')
You can only downgrade from incompatible versions by restoring your seed phrase using " new wallet" menu. If you have a backup of your wallet created before 4.3.2, it will also work.

( lol) I remember linking satoshi and theymos's usernames to anime characters before. After scouring through my post history: Since our Founder and Admin like anime names, I went with Anime vs Anime fighting game theme. -snip-
More info about my take on the pseudonym satoshi in the second quote, I also referenced Pokemon's " Satoshi Tajiri" in that post.

Kidding, the address was okay. I paid bitcointalk forum evil fee for two unknown users, one of them was able to write post. That means, the address was a correct one. I mean the specific error that you had in the OP, since there's no answer " how" yet. It wouldn't return with that error if the address on your clipboard from the image-to-text tool result was correct. Those are the only two possible reasons in that case.

I tested a same wallet type and still can't reproduce the issue. Have you reinstalled Electrum as suggested? If so and the issue persists, follow Abdussamad's suggestion to post a new issue. Also, providing the logs to the new " issue" will help a lot in solving it; to enable logging, tick the setting " Tools->Preferences->Misc->Write logs to file". Restart Electrum and reproduce the issue; disable logging before closing Electrum. The logs can be found in " logs" folder inside Electrum's datadir ( location).
