1701  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: delayed electrum transaction on: December 16, 2022, 04:13:25 PM
Some times Electrum ETA give wrong calculation of fee too which I personally experienced multiple times so I am practicing the habit of checking current fee for next block in Mempool space before choosing the fee on Electrum.
The problem is that there is no way to calculate how much you should pay as transaction fee, so your transaction is confirmed in a certain time. When you broadcast your transaction, you don't know what will happen to the mempool in the next minutes or hours and that's why you can only estimate the required fee rate.
Since different tools may use different methods for estimation of required fee rate, it's completely normal that they give you different estimations.
1702  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I don't have enough for bitcoin miner fees. on: December 16, 2022, 04:00:50 PM
Using Electrum as suggested above is the best option because you can manually input the fees even if it's 2 sat/vB which at this moment it cost $0.05.  
There is no way to know the total fee without knowing the transaction size and you can't say 2 sat/vbyte is equivalent to $0.05.
For example, if you have 100 legacy inputs and 2 outputs and set the fee rate to 2 sat/vbyte, you have to pay around 30,000 satoshi as transaction fee. That would be around 5 dollars.

You are correct, but personally, i am assuming that before a tournament is open is open to the public to bet on, there us usually a certain amount of odd the casino divide between the two teams equally, then from there, the betting starts.
Freebitco is using parimutuel betting system and the house has no role in determining the odds. The odds are determined by the users and it's not that the house increase/decrease the odds.  
The odds depend on the total money that has been bet on each of outcomes and the time weight multiplier. Note that there is no way to calculate the odds before betting is closed and that's why the odds shown in the website are just estimations.

Actual winning odds, which will be calculated after betting ends for this event, depend on the total number (amount) of bets on each side.
To be more accurate, the final odds will depend on the total money that has been bet on each of outcomes, not the number of bets. Assuming 100 people each have bet 0.01 BTC on team A and 1 person has bet 1 BTC on team B, the odds would be the same for teams A and B.
The odds depend on when you made your bet as well.
1705  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to know wich wallet belongs to a phrase? on: December 16, 2022, 09:40:14 AM
If i find the wallet i could recover it with the phrase. But I dont know which wallet I installed (Bitcoin Core...)
If you have a seed phrase, it's not bitcoin core. Bitcoin core doesn't support seed phrase at all.
Most wallets use the BIP39 standard for generating seed phrase. We have also electrum which uses its own algorithm for generating seed phrase and supports importing BIP39 seed phrase as well.

Download electrum from its official website, verify your download, create a new wallet and select "Standard wallet" and then "I already have a seed".
Enter your seed phrase and see if it allows you to click on "Next" button. If the next button is grayed out, click on "Options" and select "BIP39". If you see a message saying '"BIP39 (checksum: ok)", click on Next".
1706  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How do miners actually collect commission for creating a block? on: December 16, 2022, 05:03:01 AM
It used to be like this, but today if this happens the transaction and the block containing it will be rejected as invalid.
But we can still have a block including a transaction with the same ID as an existing transaction, if the existing transaction has been fully spent. Right?
I know the chance of that happening is almost zero.
1707  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How do miners actually collect commission for creating a block? on: December 16, 2022, 03:50:27 AM
The thing is that the network will accept only the first coinbase transaction in the block (which HAS to be the first transaction). Everything else is invalid from a protocol standpoint, even if two coinbase transactions are included in a block.
I think OP is talking about two coinbase transactions with the same ID in two different blocks, not in the single block.

In theory, it's possible that a block includes a transaction with the same ID as an existing transaction if the existing transaction has been fully spent. Whether it's a coinbase transaction or a normal transfer, there's nothing prevent network from accepeting such a transaction.
Before implementation of BIP30, a block could include a transaction with the same ID as an existing transaction, even if the existing transaction had been unspent.
1708  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How do miners actually collect commission for creating a block? on: December 15, 2022, 10:37:58 PM
But what did happen before this BIP? Two coinbase transactions with the same txid, it's a collision. How to save two coinbase vouts into leveldb and how to spend one of them if they have the same txid?
With BIP34, it's very very unlikely that two coinbase transactions have the same ID, but in theory it's still possible that two transactions have the same transaction ID.
If a transaction has the same ID as an existing transaction, the second one would replace the first one and there wouldn't be any way to spend the fund received in the first one.
See blocks number 91,722 and 91,880. The coinbase transactions in these two blocks have the same ID. The person who received the block reward on block number 91,722 can't spend it.
The solution to this problem was BIP30. According to BIP30, a block can't include a transaction with the same ID as a not-fully-spent transaction.
1709  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How do miners actually collect commission for creating a block? on: December 15, 2022, 09:02:22 PM
The Txid is just the hash of the raw transaction data that is encoded in binary.
To be more accurate, the transaction hash is calculated by hashing the transaction data through SHA256 function twice.


Yeah, I know that. But I'm interested in why hash of tx data of one miner always different?
According to BIP34, the coinbase transaction must contain the block height.
Before implementation of BIP34, it was possible to duplicate a coinbase transaction.
1710  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I don't have enough for bitcoin miner fees. on: December 15, 2022, 07:27:36 PM
I never use a Trust wallet for BTC transactions but since the wallet is acquired some months ago by Binance there's a chance that the wallet does request high transactions because Binance is known for doing this to increase their purse.
Binance acquired trustwallet around four years ago and note that they get nothing from transaction fees. All the fee you pay for making transaction on trustwallet goes to miners.

I will advise you to import the private keys using the electrum wallet, verify the wallet before using and make use of the manual fees option.
Instead of just importing the wallet into electrum, it would be better to create a new wallet on electrum and send all the fund to that.
Also note that trustwallet allow you to adjust the fee rate manually too.
1711  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: What do you think about trust wallet? on: December 15, 2022, 10:28:20 AM
I'm still hostile to believe that it will be the case for closed source for having backdoors, or malicious codes.
Since there is no way to know whether a close source wallet has been coded properly or not, I would always consider the worst case scenario and avoid any close source wallet. Everything is possible.
A good example is coinomi. Coinomi has been always a popular wallet and considered safe by many people, but it had a vulnerability sending users seed phrase to google servers.
1712  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Using specific input to pay fees on Electrum on: December 14, 2022, 04:06:25 PM
When you use multiple inputs in a single transaction, there are all combined together.
It doesn't make sense to say which of the inputs has paid the transaction fee and which of them has been sent to the recipient(s).

May I ask what you are trying to achieve?
1713  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: PLEASE HELP ME RECOVER MY BITCOIN CORE WALLET on: December 14, 2022, 12:33:27 AM
When I put open /Users/jwiraj99/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin into terminal, it says it does not exist.
I am not familiar with Mac. I just guess that your library folder may be hidden.


I actually realized that I never even created a private key. All I did was create a wallet, name the wallet, and then create an address to receive bitcoin from the exchange. Does that change anything?
You have a generated a private key as well.
The address you got and sent bitcoin to has been generated from a private key. That private key can be easily exported if you can open your wallet.
1714  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: PLEASE HELP ME RECOVER MY BITCOIN CORE WALLET on: December 13, 2022, 11:35:25 PM
If i dont have a wallet.dat, is there a chance my wallet would still be accessible without a private key if I just redownload bitcoin core?
As you have created a wallet, you should have a wallet.dat. Click here to know the default location of bitcoin core data directory.
If you neither have the wallet.dat nor the private key, there won't be any way to recover the fund.

This decision was made around five years ago to decrease spam on "Serious discussion" and its child board "Ivory Tower".
For more information, read the post made by theymos.


I see that newbies were already posting junk in Serious Discussion, so I made changes:
 - The member limitations are moved up one rank. You must be a Jr Member to post in Serious Discussion and a Full Member to post in Ivory Tower
 - Posts in Serious Discussion only activate a potential-activity period. They do not increase your post count.
 - Posts in Ivory Tower neither activate a potential-activity period nor increase your post count.
1716  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: BSPO - A Simple Method for Securing BIP39 Seed Phrases on: December 13, 2022, 08:09:55 PM
BSPO is designed to be usable offline, just print the encryption/decryption tables.
It seems that you didn't get DaveF.
Working offline means that the encryption/decryption table can be generated on an offline device and you don't need internet connection for that.
It's not possible to use your tool without internet connection.

This has been already answered in the previous posts of the thread.
No nobody can register with the username "The Pharmacist". Theymos has only changed the display name. The username hasn't been changed at all and it's still owned by "The Sceptical Chymist".
1718  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I don't have enough for bitcoin miner fees. on: December 13, 2022, 07:33:36 AM
I'm using Trust wallet for btc.
The network isn't congested now and even if you set the fee rate to 1 sat/vbte, your transaction shouldn't take a long time to be confirmed.
To set the fee on trustwallet, tap on "Setting" button at top right corner of the screen before confirming transaction details.
1719  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum new wallets => Seed Type: Segwit on: December 12, 2022, 10:11:30 PM
I think that Electrum developers also removed optional RBF, so now all transaction will be broadcasted with RBF by default.
You have the option to choose whether you want your transaction to be flagged as RBF or not.
If you don't want your transaction to be RBF, you can go to "Preferences" and uncheck "Use Replace-By-Fee". You can also check/uncheck "Replace by Fee" on "Create transaction" window.
1720  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum new wallets => Seed Type: Segwit on: December 12, 2022, 07:11:13 PM
I don't know if they still are, but it'd be pretty damn hard to create anything cool out of a segwit address unless maybe it starts with a 3.
It's possible to generate bech32 vanity addresses and I don't think that's more difficult than generating a legacy vanity address.
The only problem with a segwit address is that it can't include 1, b , i and o and you can't have a vanity address containing those characters.


On a related note, if you import a Mycelium seed phrase into Electrum, you have to choose BIP38 and then you get a choice of address types, legacy included.  
Not only mycelium's seed phrase. Any BIP39 seed phrase can be used for generating different types of addresses.
