i tried but have  error max feed exceeded   so CPFP doesnt work for this transaction

That is why I'm asking you to set fees to dynamic before trying CPFP again. You have a max fee configured which is why it is giving you that error. You must change that. See my post above (#6).

3. Does Electrum handle all the change/change addresses for me so I don't have to worry about it?

This. When you use a software wallet like electrum then it'll handle change for you and you don't have to worry about it. Change is only a problem for paper wallet users or those who muckabout with private keys directly.

Since you've asked I'll answer your other questions too:

1. Unspent coin goes to a change address. Can I specify this change address?, i.e. create a new wallet and direct the change there? If so, is there an opportunity during a payment transaction to specify the change address I want to use?

The generic term for fine grained control over the inputs and outputs of a transaction is called "coin control". Electrum allows you to determine which inputs form a transaction but does not allow you to select where the change goes. Bitcoin Core allows you to do both.

What electrum does allow you to do is specify whether you want to use separate change addresses, which is good for privacy, or send change back to one of the originating addresses. So if you go to tools > preferences > transactions tab you can select to use change addresses or not.

2. I've setup Electrum on Tails (the wallet lives in permanent storage). Will Electrum remember my wallet/transactions when I power down?

Electrum on tails is an old version so I don't recommend using it. You should use a debian live cd and install the latest electrum on to that. Yes you can do that. The instructions for installing electrum on ubuntu/debian are on the download page of the electrum site.


BTW you've called electrum an online wallet. What do you mean by that? Electrum is not a web wallet or a wallet provided to you by some centralized entity. You control the private keys and they only exist on your own devices.

Yes you can try fixing the tablet and seeing if your wallet is there.
1624  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: need some tips with electrm transaction delay on: May 23, 2017, 08:01:03 PM
i`m trying to use CPFP  but get error max fee exeeded .......  

Under tools > preferences check "Use dynamic fees" and then try CPFP again. You have set a max static fee in there which is why it is not working. Static fees are not longer practical. Market based dynamic fees are the way to go.

When the CPFP window displays your transaction details click on "sign" and then "broadcast"

Also under preferences select "Always" for "Propose replace by fee"
1625  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How can electrum seed be secure on: May 23, 2017, 07:43:59 PM
Why is it that a dictionary of 2048 words are used? While the search space is inconceivably large, what is the advantage in not using random sequences of letters in place of the 2048 words, which would increase the search space dramatically?

Presumably the chance of a brute-force attack finding ANYONE's seed is also too small. But if it did happen by chance, it could be quite damaging to that individual? Because no one presumably uses multiple wallets/seeds, and since 1 seed is controlling all the private keys, what if someone had hundreds of millions of USD in bitcoin, eg? Or would they have multiple seeds/wallets?

It isn't possible to brute force a seed.

Now as to why we use English words it is so that we can write it down easily. The seed is actually a really large random number that gets encoded as English words so we humans can write it down with our meaty hands. You could just as easily represent it as a hexadecimal number or base64 or some other encoding. It just wouldn't be very user friendly.

you can ignore it or right click on the request on the receive tab and delete it.
1627  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Coinbase to electrum transaction. Please help on: May 22, 2017, 05:06:33 PM
If ismine is saying false then the address does not belong to this wallet. Do you have some other wallet? Maybe on electrum or maybe on some other software/website?
1628  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How to Do CPFP? on: May 22, 2017, 05:04:08 PM
i see a post in the youtube regarding this, here the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUJyfz0QQXw
A pretty good little tutorial that explains nicely what you need to do... EXCEPT he made one really critical error... he forgot to take into account the size and fee of the first transaction. When doing CPFP you need to calculate as:

Average sats/byte fee = (Trans1Fee + Trans2Fee) / (Trans1Size + Trans2Size)

If your average sats/byte fee is not high enough, the CPFP might fail... and you'll end up with two unconfirmed transactions! :-/

Your guys are overcomplicating it. No one expects the user to calculate fees manually. The CPFP window displays a slider that you use to fine tune the fee. That's it. You don't have to do anything more. Also FYI that fee setting in the CPFP window takes into account both transactions.
1629  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How to Do CPFP? on: May 22, 2017, 12:19:54 AM
both sender and receiver can do it. you can always do it if you are the receiver. you can do it if you are the sender and some change was sent back to a change address in your wallet (most txs have change).

To do it in electrum follow this guide:

what version of electrum are you using?

are any of your addresses frozen? bring the addresses tab into view with ctrl+a if it isn't visible. then see if any of the addresses have a cyan background

1632  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How do I verify downloaded electrum using signature files? on: May 20, 2017, 09:12:50 PM
nerioseole:

Okay.  Does this mean that I verified that the downloaded image was unchanged, in addition to being signed properly?

What about all of the other steps mentioned by users xdigital and guitarplinker, such as:

Code:
gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 7F9470E6

Code:
gpg --fingerprint

Can I ignore them?



those steps are for fetching the gpg key but the software you used already did that for you:

Quote
gpg: requesting key 7F9470E6 from hkps server hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net
gpg: key 7F9470E6: public key "Thomas Voegtlin (https://electrum.org) <thomasv@electrum.org>" imported

1633  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Why does the electrum install wizard keep coming up on: May 19, 2017, 10:35:05 PM
Thinking further is there a function or can we add a function to trim the saved history to a user nominated value, say "keep last 20 transactions" and then the file gets trimmed.
Not sure if such a thing is possible.

You have to create a new wallet. That is a completely new set of addresses and a different seed. Electrum just isn't designed for massive wallets. After you have properly created the new wallet, including noting  down its seed, you should send your money from the old wallet to the new one.

You can create a new wallet using file > new/restore. You can open specific wallets using file > open or the command line switch -w

Code:
electrum -w /path/to/walletfile
1634  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum customer support on: May 19, 2017, 10:25:38 PM
you should upgrade to the latest electrum version and enable dynamic fees under tools menu > preferences or this will keep happening.
1635  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Coinbase to electrum transaction. Please help on: May 19, 2017, 10:16:01 PM
Hi thanks for reply. I checked the blockchain length and its 467095. I've tried reinstalling electrum re-entered my seed but no joy.  I'm pretty sure its synced because if i manually connect to server sometimes it says"not conected" but when I connect automatically it doesn't say anything but there is no green, red, or blue light( maybe because it's android)
Could it be something to do with me having​ g a new tablet? Would there be any point in me having the old tablet fixed? How do i type ("1ADdBfwkJRse2BibjgUAmuchBU6tr3HsP") into my console on android?

By console he means the console tab of the electrum window. Maybe he didn't see that you were using android. Is there a console tab in the android version of electrum?

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the android version of electrum so would you be willing to install electrum on a PC and then restoring from seed there? Alternatively just see if the address 1AD is listed in your android installation of electrum. That's the idea behind the whole ismine command - to determine whether that address is in your electrum wallet.

As long a you have the seed you should be able to restore your wallet on any device. Don't repair the tablet just yet. Don't dispose of it in case you need it.

BTW it's great that you to mentioned details like your electrum version and your OS. Almost no one does it when asking questions here and we have to waste our time specifically asking them for this basic info. So it's good that you did it.
1636  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Cannot send btc, Electrum error, the tranaction was rejected by network rule (66 on: May 19, 2017, 07:09:20 PM
upgrade to 2.8.2. set dynamic fees and select always for "propose replace by fee"

you should upgrade to the latest electrum version to prevent this sort of thing happening again. there have been many bug fixes related to transaction fees.

1640  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Increase Elecetrum Fee past slider limit on: May 17, 2017, 04:22:34 PM
Hey all I am new here, so if this question has already been answered or if im posting in the wrong section please let me know.
Anyway I am currently trying to send BTC from my Electrum wallet. The problem is I cannot increase the fee as high as I need it to be. When I go to adjust the fee using the slider in Electrum the slider only allows me to send with a fee ranging from 0.3 mBTC to 1.0 mBTC. The highest fee still allowed is still a "low fee" how can fix this? I want to be able to send BTC with a higher fee.
Thanks guys look  forward to posting and commenting more!

That's because you are using an old version of electrum. If you don't update you will continue to face problems. Please update.
