As long as the transaction has 0 confs, you can't be 100% sure it'll get confirmed. They probably underpaid the fee. I wouldn't send the goods until you have a couple confirmations.

You can always try a cpfp or pay an established, big, trusted mining pool to include your transaction

It's a good idear, however there is one thing that pops to mind: you're mixing services that are preferably run by an anonymous operator (like a mixer) with services that are preferably run by a registered operator (like a casino).
I don't know if people would be willing to bet big on an unregistered casino, and i don't know if people would be willing to use a mixer if one the same site is a registered casino running.

Also, if you don't have a big enough bankroll, i guess it might be good idear to start without the casino and build a good rep before you start asking people to invest money into your company?

3. Deposit BTC into a centralized gambling site or exchange and then withdraw your funds.

In case of going with the 3rd option, you should know that these services will know so it's not as secure/safe as the first two options.


I thought you were worried overly! At these sites, they process millions of transactions every day, which means they won't have enough time to check what you're doing with your money. However, if you follow this way, you will incur a cost of 2 times what you have to pay, it's too costly to make. So choose the first one.

I don't think OmegaStarScream is paranoid when saying it's not as safe as the first two... Afterall, if i'm mixing my coins, i'm not worried about an exchange analysing all of it's transactions, instead i'm worried about a foreign governement or a hacker singeling me out, searching for my transactions in particular.
When using an exchange, their internal records will show my ip(s), my browser fingerprint, timeframes when i was active and a link between deposit addresses, currency exchanges and withdrawal addresses. Imagine what a 3 letter agency could do with a dump of their database when they are trying to track me down. Even worse: imagine what a malicious hacker could do if he managed to get his hands on the exchange's database and tried to track me down for extortion or robbery.

Personally, i'm a big fan of mixing services. However, you do have to realise these services are anonymous themselfs. You have no guarantee the mixing service itself isn't a honeypot. Personally, i use mixing services to hide my transactions for malicious individuals and to protect my privacy, so i wouldn't care to much if one of the mixers i use turns out to be a governement honeypot. However, i guess some people might be in problems if their mixer turned out to be ran by a 3 letter agency.
1885  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How do I change a watch-only wallet to a standard wallet. on: December 11, 2019, 07:52:12 AM
Hi mocacinno/nc50lc

I really appreciate your help.
Sorry, I did not describe my problem correctly. I mean I did the same steps as nc50lc said. get the seeds from cell phone, and create a new wallet on tablet and then enter the seeds that from cell phone.  But the new wallet (with the same seeds as cell phone) on table is stall a watch-only wallet. I've already tried many time, remove it/re-install it but no any luck...help me.


strange.... My best guess would be that you now have two wallets on your tablet: one watch-only and a second "normal" wallet?
This, however, is a longshot... It's the most plausible explanation i can come up with right away.

To be honest, i only use electrum from my desktop, i don't have electrum for android installed. But the desktop version allows you to create as many wallets as you want, if the mobile version is the same (and allows multiple wallets), it might just have 2 wallets, and you just opened the watch-only one.

Do you have a clean device to retry the proces? Personally, if it was on my own device, i'd probably remove all wallets from my tablet and restart the process, but since i don't know your setup, i'm not sure if this would be a good  idear (we don't want to end up removing a used wallet from wich you haven't written down the recovery seed)
1886  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How do I change a watch-only wallet to a standard wallet. on: December 11, 2019, 06:36:42 AM
What actually happens when you create a new wallet is:
  • a random seed phrase is generated and shown to you
  • using this seed phrase, electrum creates an xprv (master private key)
  • from this master private key, individual private keys get derived
  • private key can be used to generate a public key, the hash of the public key is your address

Given this knowledge, you immediately see how you can "restore" a wallet, either:
  • create a second wallet (potentially on a second device), using the same seed
  • create a second wallet (potentially on a second device), using the same xprv
  • export all private keys from addresses that were funded and import them into the second wallet (however, using this method, you'll miss all NEW private keys generated by the first wallet, hence your wallet will become incomplete as soon as you stop exporting new private keys from your original wallet

* You can find the seed on electrum (i can only check the desktop version, i have no idear if it's the same in the electrum version) by going to wallet => seed

* You can get the xprv by going to the console and entering "getmasterprivate()" (without quotes)

* you can export the individual derived private keys by going to "wallet => private keys => export"

Xprv, seed and individual private keys are PRIVATE. Do not share them with anybody, under any circumstance...

My best guess as to what might have happened is that, when creating your second wallet, you didn't use the seed, xprv or derived private keys but instead you used the addresses or xpub (master PUBLIC key), as such you created a watch only wallet (which is useless for spending, like the name already says, it's a WATCH ONLY wallet Wink )

You can try holding merit giveaway threads so you could potentially spot helpful ones that went unnoticed.

I'll hold one once I've reached 100 Merits.

Yeah, i've spotted those threads aswell. However, when reading trough those threads, i always get the gut feeling people posting in those threads are essentially still begging for merits, so i'm inclined not to give them any... I realize this might be an unpopular opinion, but it's just the way i'm programmed to react i guess Smiley
1890  Other / Meta / Re: sMerit Anti-Hodling Scheme on: December 06, 2019, 06:56:13 AM
I try to give merit away, but my main problem is that 99% of the posts i come across are either:
  • Newbie ramblings, asking questions that have been answered hundreds of times before, spamming,bounty hunting, reflinks, wrong subforum,...
  • Posts that were clearly designed to beg for merit
  • Good posts by people that don't need any more merit cause their rank is more or less in balance with their merit total

It's very rare for me to see a post and think: "this guy/girl is actually making coherent posts that aren't created for the sole purpose of getting merit, and on top of this, this guy/girl actually needs merit... So i'll send him/her some".

So, the end result is that i'm still sitting on a bunch of smerit, not because i'm trying to be a hoarder, but because the newbie/junior/member/full member post quality is so low i can't in good conscience give them merit.

1892  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How to start mining if I have free eletric? on: December 04, 2019, 02:17:52 PM
Why are people suggesting gpu? He should definitely go asic to cheaply and most efficiently mine for free power. He can set up a single asic on a plug that's not used, set it and forget it. The revenue will be much higher than a single gpu. Gpu mining is efficient but Asics when not taking in power are the way to go.

I suggested CPU/GPU because the OP stated he wanted to mine using "one PC", so i assumed he already had a pc and wanted to waste his time and (free) energy.

I do agree that if he wants to make a profit instead of mining with a preexisting PC, he's much better off with an ASIC

1894  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Doers it matter what country you are in for wallet? on: December 04, 2019, 07:36:58 AM
I recommend you to use hardware wallet named electrum, it is safe and it is a hardware wallet used by everyone. I prefer using hardware wallet, and it is available in the web just type electrum it does not matter where country are you in ,or you have other choices like use nano ledger or trezor it is highy recommended too. You may use exchange wallet too but be sure to put 2FA on it.

Electrum is NOT a hardware wallet, it is a desktop wallet!
Some hardware wallets (like trezor or ledger) can be used together with electrum, in this case electrum works as a watch-only wallet that simply creates new unsigned transactions, sends them to the hardware wallet for signing, receives the signed tx from the HW wallet for broadcasting. This setup is, in a lot of ways, similar to an airgapped setup but it certainly does not place electrum in the same league as hardware wallets.

1896  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have there been any money laundering schemes that used cryptocurrency? on: December 03, 2019, 01:51:02 PM
yes, it happened before... For example:
https://www.manhattanda.org/da-vance-announces-guilty-pleas-in-2-8-million-internet-drug-ring/

This being said, i'm pretty sure 99% of the people laundering money are using the "old fashioned" ways... Like using a store front or a business. Using crypto is far to complex, and it still requires you to give your dirty money to somebody else face to face so you get crypto currencies in return, these transactions can all be traced, and when you want to spend your "cleaned" money, you need a second interaction with a potential crypto buyer....
Very complicated to do this right, and even if you do, it would probably have been easyer to use other means of money laundering.

Same goes for terrorists, drug buying, weapons purchases.... Sure, there are darknet markets, sure some dealer *might* accept monero, sure a terrorist *might* have some crypto... But i'm pretty sure +90% of all drug/weapon purchases are done with plain old cash.

Thanks. Is there any community or group in Manila? Which pool should I join? Do I need to join a pool that is near to where I stay?

Any pool website I can look for or .nicehash.com is easy enough to start with?

No, you can join any pool that supports the coin you picked, it does not have to be near your place of residence.

As for which pool to join: i guess you'll have to pick a algorithm and coin first, then chose a pool that supports this coin... Not the other way around.

I'm not an expert in this field, but i did mine in the past, so i'll try to give you some pointers...

First, and i cannot stress this enough, i don't believe in free electricity. It might seem free to you, but down the line, somebody is paying the bill. It might be your parents, your landlord, your employer, your government, other customers of the power company (in case you're stealing). Are you sure you're obtaining this electricity legal? A couple cents worth of altcoin isn't worth losing your job, going to jail, making your parents pay a tenfold in electric charges.

That being said, if you insist on cpu/gpu mining with your EXISTING hardware, don't get your hopes up. You won't get rich. If you pick the exact right algo/coin at the exact right time, you might make a couple bucks a month.

Start by looking at the forum and pick a cpu/gpu minable coin. XMR should be doable, or NLG. Do some benchmarks for these CPU/GPU minable coins and pick the one that generates the most profit.
If you have a general office desktop, the odds are your GPU is no good for mining. GPU mining requires a rather powerfull GPU to begin with. IF you have (or are willing to buy) a decent GPU, there are many more GPU minable coins (but not the most popular ones like BTC or LTC, those ones are ONLY ASIC minable... well, in theory you can mine with about any hardware, but in reality you can't)
