Small addition Can more than one valid address be generated from a private key?

I assume you are talking about different address types?
If so, the answer is yes.

You can derive all P2PKH, P2SH and P2WPKH types from a single private key.



Is knowing some private keys in HD wallets dangerous? Or sell wallet.dat files?

Depends on whether we are talking about hardened (not dangerous; most common) or non-hardened derivation paths.
With non-hardened derivation paths, it is possible to derive the master private key by having access to a single child private key and the master public key.

But since most (all?) wallets are using hardened paths, this isn't an issue anymore.


Selling wallet.dat files? Well.. The buyer has to be stupid to do so.
Both people (buyer and seller) have access to the same seed and therefore the same private keys.




~snip~

A private key isn't 32 bits. That would be way too small. It's 256 bits.


It is quite obvious that he meant 32 bytes.

All right ladies and gentlemen, I received the public key in hex format, could someone explain to me how to get the private key from it?
03137807790EA7***************************629315C4E4B03A0A102250C49

Not possible.

And btw.. you don't need to mask parts of the public key.
They are called public key for a reason..

And if you did that to not reveal which public key / address you are talking about.. if a transaction has been done from that address, it is extremely easy to find out which address and public key you are talking about.
A simple scan of the blockchain is enough.

So.. either way.. masking the public key didn't help you here in any way.



Stay away from stupid comments.

Then you should maybe stop asking stupid questions about something you have been told is not possible.



I will be grateful for any help from professionals.

If anyone is offering you help with this, he isn't a professional, but a scammer.
No sane person would claim to be able to recover the private key from a public key.

Deine Kryptowährung wird nicht on-the-fly verkauft, sondern du musst sie davor aktiv verkaufen (BTC -> EUR Top-Up der Karte durchführen).
Und hier findet deine versteuerbare Transaktion statt (angenommen < 1 Jahr Haltezeit).

Ab diesem Zeitpunkt hast du nur noch FIAT auf deiner Karte und kannst sie dementsprechend auch einfach Benutzen wie eine ganz normale Prepaid VISA Karte.


Das praktische an der App/Karte ist halt, dass du mit nur einem Klick deine BTC in € umtauschst und damit die Karte auflädst.
1684  Local / Deutsch (German) / Re: Anbieter von Bitcoin Prepaid Kreditkarte on: June 01, 2020, 03:13:55 PM
Du hältst Kryptos (BTC, ETH, usw...) in der Custodial-Wallet und wechselst nach Belieben diese Kryptos in Euro. Sobald Du das gemacht hast, stehen die Euro zur Verfügung, um sie über die Karte auszugeben.

Alternativ lässt sich auch das FIAT Wallet in der App mittels SEPA Überweisung oder Kreditkarte (kostenlos) verwenden.
Damit überweißt du € und kannst diese dann mit deiner Karte ausgeben.
1685  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Seeds on: June 01, 2020, 03:11:23 PM
is there an alternative u suggest for the desktop?

Electrum is fine. It offers quite a lot of nice features.
If you don't want to use the electrum mnemonic, you can just use another wallet to generate it and import it into electrum.

But if you are looking for another wallet, Wasabi is a nice one.



I recommend you to use iancoleman for generating a seed phrase.
[...]
Note: For your security, use iancoleman offline.

I wouldn't recommend this.
I generally wouldn't trust any javascript with crypto-related operations.

Using a desktop wallet, which uses your OS's RNG relatively directly is better than relying on javascript libraries.
1686  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Seeds on: June 01, 2020, 12:44:18 PM
Besides electrum, all reputable wallets do use BIP39.
All of these mnemonic codes are compatible with wallets supporting them.

If you are looking for compatibility within different wallets, go for a BIP39 mnemonic code (i.e. generate them not using electrum but a different software wallet).
Electrum lets you create BIP39 mnemonics too, but its easier to just use a different wallet to create it.

Ich stelle mir jetzt die Frage ob "pro Monat" bedeutet je 30 Tage oder tatsächlich von 1. bis 30./31. Denn wenn Zweiteres der Fall ist, dann müsste ich bereits morgen wieder 800 Euro ohne Gebühren abheben können.

Soweit ich weiß, bezieht sich das auf Kalendermonate, nicht rolling 30 days.
Solltest morgen also wieder in der Lage sein, kostenlos abheben zu können.



Das einzige, was mir bisher gar nicht gefällt, ist der Support.

Ja, die sind derzeit stark überlastet.
Hängt wohl mit dem Rollout in der EU und dem "baldigen" Rollout in Kanada zusammen.



Ich habe vor fünf Tagen eine Frage gestellt bezüglich Backup / Seed-Phrase der Wallet, aber trotz Nachhaken bisher keine Antwort bekommen:

Du kannst kein Backup erstellen, da es sich um ein custodial wallet handelt (Sofern du von der crypto.com App und nicht dem crypto.com Wallet sprichst).
Hier gibt es keine backup phrase.
1688  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: my own wallet seed on: May 31, 2020, 04:01:18 PM
That's how BIP39 seeds work. It is not how Electrum seed works.

Electrum 2.0 derives keys and addresses from a hash of the UTF8 normalized seed phrase with no dependency on a fixed wordlist. This means that the wordlist can differ between wallets while the seed remains portable, and that future wallet implementations will not need today’s wordlists in order to be able to decode the seeds created today.

This makes sense.
Whether this is a better or worse approach than BIP39 is questionable. But that's definitely a reasonable one.


Electrum only needs 2 words to create a seed. The seed it generates will be 132 "words" long (i.e. 132 bits), but it will still generate one for you.

Wow.. that's horrible.
Electrum really is doing everything which theoretically is possible..
1689  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: my own wallet seed on: May 31, 2020, 03:07:11 PM
The order of the wordlist for Electrum doesn't actually matter.

Why doesn't it matter ?
The secret information (11 bit number; decimal: 0-2047) is used as an index to pick the correct word.

While the standard wordlist is sorted alphabetically, this doesn't have to be the case with your own wordlist. And in this case the order does indeed matter.



In fact, you don't need to have the word list at all. If I use a custom wordlist to generate a seed on Electrum, I can restore that wallet from the same seed phrase on any copy of Electrum, with or without the custom worsdlist.

How would electrum be able to derive the 11 bit number from a random word without having its position in a given list ?



The security could also very well be worse than the standard wordlist depending on how I pick my wordlist. If my wordlist is made up of 10 names of my immediate family members, then it will be very insecure.

I was assuming that OP is talking about a custom wordlist with 2048 entries.
Anything else (e.g. using only 2 words alternating for the whole wordlist) obviously is absolutely dumb (and wouldn't work).

If you pick 2048 names of your friends, familiy, pets, etc.. the security isn't affected.
1690  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Live - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.trezor.app on: May 31, 2020, 02:39:07 PM
With a hardware wallet, you are buying the hardware device and the security functions it delivers.
There always is an application from the vendor available with it, but these always lack some good features.

The best way to utilize your hardware wallet and a lot of good features is to use a good wallet as an interface to communicate with your hardware wallet.

Electrum, for example, offers that option. With the desktop version, you got all the features you need and when using it as an interface for your hardware wallet, you profit from all the security features of the hardware wallet.
You shouldn't rely on the app- or software ratings when buying a hardware wallet. Better concentrate on the hardware features and what possibilities you have to use/access it.
1691  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Be aware of a possible new exchange SCAM - I need your opinion on: May 31, 2020, 02:28:31 PM
How to find ip address of any exchange and please give us full details that how can we check that when the exchange damain name buy from go Daddy and any other source too???
It's very good source could be to find scam exchange and this will be helpfull to us find out scam project and scam exchange too.

Finding the ip address is simple, but this doesn't help you much.
However, you can simply ping it:
Code:
ping www.website.com

This works in the linux terminal and the windows command line the same way.


For information about the registry of the website, you can use whois:

Linux:
Code:
whois website.com

Windows:
Code:
whois -v website.com

Or you can even use a website if you don't want to use the command line at all. For example: https://whois.domaintools.com/.
1692  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: my own wallet seed on: May 31, 2020, 02:23:44 PM
You can use your own wordlist with electrum.
This will generate you a mnemonic code with 12 words from your own wordlist.

The security itself isn't worse than the standard wordlist. You just have to make sure to have the wordlist in the correct order, or otherwise you will lose access to your coins.


Is there a specific reason you want to use your own wordlist?
1693  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: hi, need help on: May 31, 2020, 02:22:02 PM
You can also contact keychainx, they helped me with a Bitcoin wallet and have some interesting stories here https://medium.com/@keychainx

Tian

Don't do this.

If you are using a wallet recovery service, always only use some reputable one (e.g. Dave's recovery service).
I would not recommend to use keychainx at all.

But at the end even those vaults are nothing more than a  storage for the blockchain copy.

There is no reason to store the copy of the blockchain in such a vault.
On the one hand, this copy would be outdated 10 minutes after creating it (at the moment a new block is mined and added) and additionally this is publicly available information and not secret at all.

The only thing worth storing there, are the private keys which allow you to spend your BTC.

Jupp. Nur hätten andere auch gerne diese Aktionen von Lidl oder Edeka uvm. mitgenommen. Nur ohne Karte kein Cashback.
Aber vielleicht hätte ich dann auch nur unnötig viel Klopapier gekauft  Grin

Fände es prinzipell auch gut, wenn diese Aktion für die EU, wo die Karten ja erst in der Mitte des Aktionszeitraumes versandt wurden, um 1.5 Monate verlängert würde.
Ist aber leider nicht der Fall.  Grin
1696  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Is some solution connect desktop Electrum Wallet and some mobile iOS wallet? on: May 31, 2020, 02:04:12 PM
You can use Electrum seed on blockchain.com

No, you can't.

Blockchain.com is a (shitty) web wallet and does not support the use of electrum mneominc codes.
Besides that, a lot of useful features are missing.

I wouldn't recommend blockchain.com (or any other web wallet) to anyone.
1697  Local / Deutsch (German) / Re: Anbieter von Bitcoin Prepaid Kreditkarte on: May 31, 2020, 02:02:25 PM
Jedenfalls dieses Jahr wird es wohl noch klappen. Bloß ob da noch gute Aktionen kommen die jetzt auslaufen bleibt abzuwarten

Die jetzige Aktion wurde ja auch nur wegen der aktuellen Covid19 Situation ins Leben gerufen.
Sonst würde es keine 10% Cashback auf Lebensmittel / -lieferungen geben.

Ob da überhaupt noch solche "Aktionen" kommen werden, ist fraglich.
Soweit ich weiß gab es davor auch keine solcher Aktionen. Die Karte gibt es in den USA ja schon etwas länger.
1698  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fees high on: May 31, 2020, 11:04:09 AM
The halving definitely shook the fees up quite a bit, it should be dropping slowly now

If you look at the fees of the past 24 hours, they are quite low again.




A 1 sat/B transaction will be confirmed within the next few blocks.
A 2-3 sat/B transaction is almost guaranteed to be confirmed within the next block (if no sudden spike happens).



Especially with halving, bitcoin fees should increase. Do the solution I have mentioned, because that is
the only way for the time being.

The halving already occured.
And the adjustment of the difficulty also took place on May 20.
The next adjustment will be on Thursday evening. The change will be roughly between -11% and -10%.

So even when there are a lot of transactions happening (which is definitely not sunday), fees should normalize again.
1699  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Live wrong balance on: May 31, 2020, 10:53:55 AM
I have experienced this kind of problem before and exactly the solution to this problem is as follows; some addresses use a different derivation path if you selected your deposit address from signable addresses, not to an address that Ledger automatically provides.

When using P2PKH with ledger live, you only get P2PKH addresses.
When using P2WPKH nested in P2SH, you only get those nested P2SH addresses.

There is no bug or similar where you get a legacy address in a nested segwit wallet in ledger live (or vice versa).


As stated in the OP:
(I've also doule checked twice the address the wallet gave me where to send the btc)

So your proposal is highly unlikely to work and shouldn't be tried by OP without confirming that he was using a different type of address than usual.
1700  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Security vs Quantum Computing on: May 31, 2020, 10:48:36 AM
so that article that says 2-3 years is wrong ?

Definitely.
Don't trust random online articles.

Quantum computers won't be a threat for the next decade.



there is nothing called bitcoin encryption, but sha-256 or aes encryption, used by bitcoin core wallets to encrypt your keys.

Note that sha is not an ecryption algorithm, but a hash function.
Also, the risk with quantum computers wouldn't be AES or any other symmetric encryption algorithm, but the asymmetric ones (e.g. RSA) where the algorithm relies on mathematical problems.
The attack vector on bitcoin wouldn't be the encryption of keys on a local wallet, but the ECDSA.
