zpub/xpub is the master public key used for deriving individual public keys and addresses of an HD wallet.
A master pubic key starting with xpub is used for deriving legacy addresses and a master public key starting with zpub is used for deriving segwit addresses.
You imported a xpub and created a legacy watch-only wallet, not a taproot wallet.

As address starting with 1 is a legacy address. This means that the wallet you created on bluewallet wasn't taproot at all. A taproot address starts with bc1p.
How did you create your watch-only wallet on bluewallet? You probably imported a xpub.

Making a scam accusation topic without providing any evidences is really useless.
You should provide details on what exactly happened and how you got scammed. For example, you can add transaction hashes of the payment you made and tell us what was their response if you contacted them.

Can't say how much time you have to cancel a transaction.
If your transaction has been flagged as RBF, as long as it is unconfirmed, you can replace it with a new transaction paying higher fee.
It's possible that your transaction is confirmed in a few seconds. It's also possible that it stays unconfirmed even after says.
As mentioned by Charles-Tim above, the higher fee rate you set for your transaction, the faster it can be confirmed.

And I think the easiest way to check whether you are a DT1 member or not without using BPIP is to check DT voting page.
If you have been listed for voting and your username isn't strikethroughed, you are DT1 member.

That means that your status hasn't been changed and you are not a DT1 member.

You can check the list of eligible DT1 members on DT update log. Of course, it's possible that a user is eligible for being a DT1 member but isn't a DT member due to being untrusted by other DT1 members.
You can also visit your trust setting page to see the list of all DT1 and DT2 members. (Note that you should add ";dt" to the end of the URL. Otherwise, you will see your own trust network instead of the default trust network.

There's a very easy way for that. Double check (or triple check) what you wrote down.
You can also recover your wallet from the seed before sending any fund to that to make sure the seed phrase is correct and it generates the same addresses.

You can use bluewallet too. Bluewallet is a non-custodial and open-source wallet that allows you to make RBF-enabled transactions, bump the fee and cancel transactions (Cancel means replace the RBF-enabled transaction with a new one paying higher fee and sending the fund to yourself)

Take note that anyone can easily create a watch-only wallet using others addresses and since a watch-only wallet doesn't have any private key, it's not possible to spend fund from that. This means that most probably the wallet they showed you didn't belong to them at all.

This type of scam has been around for years. Any service or any person asking you to deposit money to be able to make a withdrawal is surely a scammer and there is no exception.
Don't waste more money.

After you tap on "Pay" button on the mobile version of electrum, a new window for confirming the payment pops up.
If "Final" is unchecked in that window, your transaction will be replaceable by fee. If "Final" is checked, your transaction won't be replaceable by fee.
Note that by default, "Final" is unchecked and electrum make RBF-enabled transactions.

Your expectations from checksum are too high.
Checksum only helps detect errors. Checksum isn't supposed to eliminate the errors or correct them. You should always double check or triple check your seed phrase after writing it down to make sure there is no error.

Freebitco has been around for nearly 10 years and they are surely one of the most reputable bitcoin related services. But I still recommend you to avoid any custodial service for keeping your coins. Keep your coins on a non-custodial wallet, so you can have full control over them.


If you are going to use VPN for multi-accounting, that's surely against their rules. I have seen many reports regarding banning accounts due to abusing their system.

By the way, freebitco have a thread in the forum. You may get a better response if you ask any question you have there.

In simple terms, blockchain is a public ledger including all (confirmed) bitcoin transactions that have been ever made.
Thousands of copies of blockchain are kept all around the world by thousands of people. This makes bitcoin decentralized and changing or removing the transactions impossible.
With this technology, transactions can be made without any need to a third party.

Binance isn't a wallet. It's an exchange.


I doubt bitcoin core is suitable for OP. For using bitcoin core, OP will have to download the full blockchain.
As already suggested, the best option for OP is electrum and I don't think he/she needs any alternative wallet.

As already suggested in the previous posts, for spending fund from your paper wallet, you can import your private key into electrum. But note that you would defeat the purpose of the paper wallet if you import your private key in a device that has been connected to the internet.
The purpose of a cold storage is that your private key doesn't connect to the internet at all. Otherwise, your wallet is no longer a cold storage.

By the way, why don't you create a HD wallet instead of creating a single private key and a single address?

Are you saying it's bad that there would be 128 possibilities for the last word? What's the problem with that?


I don't see any reason for not writing the 12th word. But if you have written down 11 words and don't have the 12th word for any reason, it can be easily brute-forced and there wouldn't be a big problem.

I think OP is referring to the QR code displayed when clicking on "Create new receiving address" in the GUI.
If you scan the QR code, you will get an address with uppercase letters and "bitcoin:" prefix.

bitcoin:BC1Q..........

Right. All your private keys can be derived from your seed phrase and that's all you need for recovering your wallet.


For spending bitcoin from your wallet, you should create an unsigned transaction on your watch-only wallet, sign it on the offline device and broadcast it using your online device.
In this way, you can make transaction without your seed phrase connecting to the internet.

All reports that are made for a post won't necessarily have the same status.
If a report is marked as bad, that doesn't mean all other reports are bad too. Moderators should handle other reports manually. It's possible that there's a good report among them.
