For now, you can use the command "addwitnessaddress addr", where addr is an existing P2PKH or P2SH address of yours. It will construct a P2SH-P2WPKH or P2SH-P2WSH address with the same key/script, if known to be valid[1]. Obviously it would be better to wait until we have more user-friendly implementations from all main wallets if you are not an expert user.

It can either take a whole week to get confirmed or maybe someone can see your post and manually insert your tx in the next block. A fee of 1.002 sat/byte will usually stay way at the bottom of the "queue" to get confirmed. Mainly because Bitcoinfees.21.co is recommending a fee of at least 420 sat/byte for a high priority transaction - 420x your fee.
I would say that there is a risk of your transaction never getting confirmed. But last time I said that for someone sending a fee of 5 sat/byte, the transaction got confirmed 2 days later. So, it's really unpredictable.

Yes. By using any other BCH supported wallet that allows you to import your private keys from Electrum. You can find the most common ones in the Bitcoin Cash website[1]. [1] https://www.bitcoincash.org/ |

Just don't create a Segwit address. Bitcoin is still the same as before, thus you are not required to use a Segwit supported wallet. The "legacy address" still coexists with the new Segwit format just like a multi-signature address can be used today.
Yeah but like i said, how do I know if I create a legacy address or a segwit address? Im using Bitcoin Core 0.14.2 and there is no "create segwit address" button, it's just the same good ol interface, so there's no separation between legacy and segwit, that is what is making me confused. There's not a clear way to do this in the GUI. AFAIK there is no indications on Core's gui on how to create a Segwit address. But you can do it by using the command "addwitnessaddress addr" where addr is an existing P2PKH or P2SH address of yours[1]. You can know your address is not a Segwit one because every Segwit address starts with a "3" (just like a multi-signature address). Because of that, I don't think you can differentiate a Segwit address from a regular P2SH multi-signature address.

Yea,but i created it befour 1aug.
So i need to split coins .
Then, you should just follow the proccess to decrypt your private-key from the paper wallet. After you have access to the private key, follow this guide to have access to your coins from both chains: 1. Download Electrum and import the private key from your paper wallet. 2. Create a new different wallet and send all your coins from the paper wallet to your new one. 3. Now you have a wallet with BTC (the one you just created) and the old one from the paper wallet that still has BCH. 4. Download Electron Cash and import the same paper wallet private key from step 1 to manage your BCH. 5. Done! If you want to spend your BCC, use Electron Cash. If you want to spend your BTC, use Electrum. [1] https://electrum.org/#download[1] http://www.electroncash.org/ |

I was emptying my legacy account today to send all the coins to a segwit account.
I realised that all the inputs sent to the same addresses (on legacy account) were than sent as separate inputs (although from the same addresses) to the new address. I wonder is this normal behaviour? It increased a lot already high fees. It would make sense to me that one address would be one input.
Is that just bad implementation of the wallet?
Inputs =/= Addresses. Every amount you receive separately is a new input. This means that if you receive 1 payment per day for 1 whole week, you will have 7 inputs at the end of the week, increasing the size of your transaction. |

So is it still safe to transfer/receive btc with electrum 2.9.3 or does not having segwit support pose any risk of doing so?
You are ok. Segwit isn't a hard fork, so it's not required for you to have a Segwit supported wallet. If you don’t want to upgrade to segwit, you may simply continue to use any wallet that has not added segwit support. Even though you haven’t upgraded, you will be able to transact with both users who have upgraded to segwit and users who, like you, haven’t upgraded to segwit.
If you don’t upgrade, you may experience one difference: if someone who has upgraded to segwit pays you, your wallet may not show you the payment until after it has been included in a block. This is a safety feature that prevents your wallet from seeing transactions it doesn’t completely understand until they’ve been confirmed by a miner.

Wallet.dat file - where is it in Copay, Exodus, Electrum & Jaxx in Windows? I would like to make sure thata I securely encrypt it for protection & to copy it somewhere else for a backup.
You should just follow the step-by-step from each wallet to backup them. Usually they will give you a seed phrase that can be used to restore your wallet in case of any problem. Electrum: save your backup seed if you are using a HD wallet or backup the wallet file inside the Electrum folder at %APPDATA%\Electrum\wallets Copay, Jaxx and Exodus: save your backup seed. |

I would suggest only providers that are shown and recommended in the PrivacyTools website. Others may be not that secure for users that really want privacy more than anything else. I had ProtonVPN (from ProtonMail) and NordVPN. [1] https://www.privacytools.io/#vpn |

Try using https://gemini.com/. It is a much better way to buy Bitcoin with FIAT than Coinbase. Verification sometimes takes longer than usual, but it's overall the best Coinbase alternative. That site looks extremely generic, did they launch recently? Where are they headquartered? AFAIK Gemini is owned by the Winklevoss brothers. I also heard that they carry the highest grade US banking license and are FDIC insured. Because of that, I would say that Gemini is the more reliable and legit exchange you can think off. Read their "about us" page: https://gemini.com/about/ |

I would like to request a vouch copy to review your method and confirm if you are legit.
Don't expect a lot of buyers to risk $30/$50 since you don't have any reputation.
Thank you.

I want to start over again but how ?
Should I just use shapeshift and send them to a new offline wallet ? Like convert eth to btc and btc to eth and the like ? or should I convert all to monero and then swap from monero to my preferred diversification.
Option 1: Just use a Bitcoin Mixer. Fast and simple. Option 2: Exchange BTC --> Monero through ShapeShift, and then use xmr.to to exchange Monero back to BTC. Your coins can't be linked back to you anymore. Those are the best options I can think off if you want to "clean" your coins.
If you are interested in tor integrated wallets, there is a new coin called deeponion in a current free airdop going on, the wallets have tor integrated into everything and is anonymous if you are interested.
And why exactly would he want to buy a shitcoin? It's not like he is going to do anything other than lose money by doing that. Stop shilling for the sake of your signature campaign. |

Well, look at the bright side, now you will be more carefull and choose more secured wallet.
Never trust anyone and keep your password and private keys in a secure place.
I hope you didn't loose alot of money.
Isn't that Exodus is not a secure wallet. If he has a malware in his computer, he could have lost his coins with any other wallet. You can't really blame the software if it's your fault in the first place - which is probably what happened, since I use Exodus for more than 2 months and never had any issues regarding its security. |

I just want to make sure that importing the keys to electrum will have no effect on claiming the bitcoin cash. I would still be able to use the original keys to do that, right?
There will be no problems on doing that. You will only be able to spend the legacy BTC from Electrum. The remaining Bitcoin Cash will stay there and you will be able to redeem them as soon as you import your private key in a compatible wallet - e.g: Electron Cash. https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ seems to be a good place to get an idea of fees and is currently recommending 510 sat/B, I was also looking at tradeblock.com's graph on fee/size and in the last week it looks like the average has not gone above 150 sat/B. What do you guys do to estimate a low fee that does not have to get through quickly, but will still get through even if it takes a day or 2? I usually use this website[1] that scrapes the recommended fees from a Bitcoin core node and them just send a tx with half to 70% of the recommended "fastest fee". Right not they are showing a fee of 181 sat/byte for the fastest fee. [1] https://www.bitcoinfees.online/ |
