1761  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum Address keeps repeating on: November 24, 2022, 11:24:34 AM
-snip-
It's just insane. If there a way to post a video I can post one for you guys to see how it behaves.  

Everything was working normal until the 11th November exactly. After that date all start to behave like this.
You can use any video hosting website, YouTube will do (set the video as "unlisted"), then paste the link to your reply.

What's happening isn't normal to a standard wallet and AFAIK, isn't a known issue.
I can only suggest to backup your wallet and seed phrase, then reinstall Electrum. (it wont delete your wallets though, but create a backup just in case)
Before installation, make sure to verify it (instructions) before proceeding to make sure that it's not corrupted or a fake version.
1762  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Sending Bitcoin - Error No Output? on: November 24, 2022, 09:02:24 AM
The only case I can think of that it shows this error message[1] is when you forget to enter the address in the Pay to field like the picture below:
It can also happen if he forget to put an amount:


Such thing can happen if he accidentally pasted either the address or amount in the "Description" instead of the dedicated text boxes.

1763  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Failed to parse text on: November 24, 2022, 08:31:08 AM
I had the exact address on the clipboard if I'm correct as later I had checked them manually.
It works at my end.
I just tried it: Downloaded the image, used image-to-text tool, copied the address, then pasted it to android Electrum's send tab.
It immediately recognized "3PDB6kt29Kmiu8j7g24PCcoC1P5XHUZ6yB" and even the address in the other image.

My guess is the image-to-text tool that you've used has faulty character recognition and mistook some of the address' character(s).
...or you've included the dot.
1764  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: i lost my btc on: November 24, 2022, 07:44:28 AM
Please help! I have sent my btc with a minimum commission fee 1sat. BTC went out from my wallet but transaction not confirmed (no-one confirmation) and on recipients wallet it shows but can't spend. More than 8 hours. What to do?
It will take a quite while to confirm because of the fee but it's not missing or anything. Just wait it out if it's not rush.
This thread's topic isn't related to your issue, by the way. It's not lost or will be lost.

We're in Electrum board so I take that it's sent using Electrum...
If so, you can try to use replace-by-fee to increase its transaction fee, right-click on the transaction and click "Increase fee".
Set the new transaction fee, click "Sign" and then "Broadcast".

If Electrum is the recipient that can't spend unconfirmed coins, untick your setting "Tools->Preference->Transactions->Spend only confirmed coins".
You'll be able to spend it after disabling that.
Better off, set a quite larger fee when spending it to bump the parent transaction's fee rate.

Quote from: Gabrielexas
Anyone experiencing this and is there a fix or a setting I need to change as I look into all and nothing helps.
I can't reproduce this in v4.3.2, I'm always getting a new or unused address in every request.

Now, the wallet repeats past addresses on new requests and in order to get a new unique one I need to open like 4 of 5 requests until a new address is given and also once payment is received on history it does not show the label I created for that transfer.
Was the gap between those requests more than 10 minutes and your invoice's expiration is set to 10 minutes?
If so, it will reuse the addresses of those old expired invoice as long as the address didn't received BTC yet.

For the label, if the invoice was expired or the amount wasn't fulfilled, the label wont be saved to the history since it didn't matched the invoice.

The workaround is to use the Addresses tab instead ("View->Show Addresses" to enable).
You can put a label to the unused addresses instead and it will show up in the history tab once it receive funds.
Or set expiration to "Never".

OP is probably "trying again" after a few years since his last attempt to spend his funds.
If not, he seems to possess a collection of zero-balance wallets that're failing to sync properly.

Here are his older topics (around 2020):
1767  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory not getting the bitcoins on: November 23, 2022, 03:21:44 AM
Most likely, it's not online.
Armory requires a full node like Bitcoin Core or similar to operate, use Bitcoin Core for max compatibility.

Do you have Bitcoin Core installed and fully synced without "prune blockchain" settings?
If not: install it, disable "prune block storage to" setting and sync the blockchain (requires 400GB+ disk space).

After that, setup armory's pathing correctly: https://btcarmory.com/docs/pathing

Opening of Bitcoin mining pools are usually announced here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=41.2000 (last page)
Check if there's a topic that rings a bell.

Or better if you can use the forum's search function:
  • On the menu, click "SEARCH". (upper-left)
  • Tick the options: "search in topic subjects only".
  • Set the message age accordingly; about "Between 3650 and 9999 days", or lower for allowance.
  • Untick "check all" and expand "Choose a board to search in, or search all", then tick "Pools" under Mining.
  • Fill up the search with "pool", and press enter.

The search window should look like this:

1769  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Q4 2010-Q1 2011 wallets on: November 23, 2022, 02:20:34 AM
i need one more answer please, how d i find my btc adress that i know the amount inside and i know nearly the dates that i made the transactions, is there a filter to show in blocks, example created 2010 to 2012 wallets including 10btcs.
Guessing can be unreliable since the 10BTC+ in your wallet can be in multiple addresses
and there's no way to link them with each other specially if you haven't reused any of the address.

It may be possible if you've only received the bitcoins whole - in one transaction.

BTW, "wallet" is not "address":
  • Wallet is your Electrum client.
  • Address is what you're using to send/received bitcoins to your wallet.

Your other thread in "Wallet Software" board has more reliable answers, you can stick to it for further questions.
I'll ask a mod to close this thread.

Seems like the question is designed to be answered by the "Alice and Bob" Wikipedia Article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_and_Bob

I do not know the full history nor read the Wikipedia article before but I always take it as examples "A" and "B" when need to be used as names.
1772  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [Nov 2022] Mempool empty! Use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs! on: November 21, 2022, 05:16:18 AM
Does anyone know why this happened? As far as I know, miners give priority to transactions with higher fees, but sometimes they may be interested in confirming transactions with lower fees, for example if the miner himself has sent a lot of transactions with the minimum fee to consolidate.
Most pools query for getblocktemplate RPC every few seconds/minutes to get the transactions with highest fee rate.
The gap of each RPC call depends on the pool/solo miner's set-up.
Maybe the miner of that block still haven't refreshed their block template at that time and still had your transaction in the block that they're currently mining.

The second part "they also have low txfee txns" isn't probable since they can easily manually add their own low-fee transactions if they want to.
They don't have to globally accept low fee transactions to include theirs.
1773  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Scanning QR Codes, do you find some wallets work better then others? on: November 21, 2022, 04:59:03 AM
Both of these point to 38s7D6x3hQP9uoYTEKJydwwxHnH7MgyRaq
The former decoded into the address, purely the address string.
The latter has extra metadata, namely "bitcoin:", fee and rbf false flag; probably the cause of the issue in other wallets.

Electrum, Mycelium, Blockchain(dot)com, Bitcoin(dot)com and Blue wallets work.
Green on the other hand, scans, but has to manually delete the other data and leave the address.
(some of the tested wallets are outdated)

Maybe it has something to do with the QR Code's size, I'm viewing it with a 1080p - 22" monitor, 100% scale of the page.
1774  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How do we calculate the correct transaction fee to send? on: November 21, 2022, 04:20:36 AM
There are various wallets/exchanges that provides you the estimated or even the exact transaction fee, one example for the wallet is Mycelium. The transaction fee is based and calculated through the amount you have inputted, the priority of the transaction that you selected, and the current state of the mempool, particularly, the traffic.
Users have previously mentioned that it's entirely not based from the amount.

If your comment is based from self-experience, it's most likely that you have multiple inputs with small amounts that it would take 2 or more inputs to fulfill the high amount you've inputted.

e.g.: Let's say you've received 0.0001, 0.00011 and 0.00012 BTC before that aren't consolidated into 1 UTXO.
If you need to send 0.00009 BTC; it will only have to use 1input, thus smaller transaction size and lower fee.
If you need to send 0.0003 BTC; it will have to use all three inputs, thus higher transaction size and higher fee.
1775  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: overview of key cracking tools for 32BTC puzzle on: November 21, 2022, 03:39:29 AM
Would be nice if you can link the repository or official Bitcointalk threads of each tools.
Because otherwise, people will rely on Google to search for them and will likely find malware versions, specially newbies.
1776  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: I need help to import my wallet, please help me ! on: November 19, 2022, 04:38:29 AM
-snip- I have found my main passwords. How can  I use my passwords to get back my private keys?  I have heard that it is possible to use other programms like CMac to generate private key to import the wallet or Bitcoin address.
Bitcoin-qt's private keys aren't based from your wallet's password, those were randomly generated.

Plus there's no other backup method aside from dumpprivkey (not natively available in 2010 but can be done using wallet tools) or a copy of the wallet.dat itself.
If you can't find any of those backup, your coins outside of MtGox is out of the question.
1777  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Unconfirmed transaction is not even visible on block explorers on: November 18, 2022, 09:44:19 AM
It's easy to test by signing the same message twice: the signature changes. I just tested it, and I get the same signature. I thought the "k value" was a random, but clearly this isn't my area of expertise.
AFAIK, Electrum is using a deterministic 'k' based from the private key and the hash of the message to be signed (actual formula, IDK).
So it'll produce the same 'k' for same message, thus same signature; but not if the message is different since it'll produce a different 'k'.
That's essentially not reusing nonce. [CMIIAW]
1778  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: unconfirmed transaction....need help on: November 17, 2022, 09:38:48 AM
What happens to the funds if the transaction stays unconfirmed and is eventually dropped from the mempool? Will the funds be lost?
No, you'll be able to spend it again after getting dropped.

Note: it depends on the mempool of the node where your client is connected to; in case of Blockchain wallet, it depends if it's dropped from their nodes.
Also, the process depends on the client, some keep a local copy of the dropped transaction that requires manual deletion of the local copy but some are automatic.

But the key point is, you'll be able to spend it once it's dropped (approx 14days after it got received by the node), be it with intervention or none.
It rarely happens anyways.
1779  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: unconfirmed transaction....need help on: November 17, 2022, 08:42:39 AM
Unfortunately, with a 4sat/vB tx fee, it's highly unlikely that it'll get confirmed within the next hour or so.
And no one can predict the future so it's hard to give an ETA to when it'll get mined, the good news is, mempools have been steadily decreasing in size these past few days.
It'll eventually get mined; if it's not a rush transaction, just wait it out.

One way to accelerate it is to perform a CPFP transaction with high fee.
But since Blockchain online wallet doesn't have such feature, you'll have to manually create a transaction that'll spend the change of that unconfirmed transaction.
Sadly, it doesn't have a coin-control feature so it might select a different input if you have other than that change.
1780  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: "Broken" private key. on: November 17, 2022, 08:13:28 AM
No software would take the private key in (tried a dozen), and trying a WiF decoder showed it's invalid (even though it "looks" right, starts with 5K, right length, etc).
-snip-
Any other ideas of what to do? There's 3 BTC on there.
Let me guess, it's: 5Km2kuu7vtFDPpxywn4u3NLpbr5jKpTB3jsuDU2KYEqetwr388P, right?
I'm sorry to tell you that it's the prvKey FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEBAAEDCE6AF48A03BBFD25E8CD0364141 which is out of range, invalid.

Sadly, no one can recover those 3.7 BTC that your "friend" accumulated: 1FYMZEHnszCHKTBdFZ2DLrUuk3dGwYKQxh
