Uninstalled old wallet and installed 0.10.7.3 I'm still getting down to 2 weeks and then it says, "No block source available". So I guess I should Remove everything but the dat file and download the block chain again?  |

Sorry if this has been asked before. What is normally done if some of the exchanges you traded on no longer exist? All I have are emails with withdrawals from a few exchanges? How do you approach this scenario? |
|
|
|
|
So should we wait until the new working wallet comes out? Or download 10.6.1 and apply 10.7.2 the patch fix? Just want a wallet that will synch.
|
|
|
|
Any instructions on how to use this. Do I just download it and run it? |
|
|
|
Wish I could put these coins into some hardware wallet that won't break down. I might help the price of the coin. if we actually had a way to get the coins out of the wallet.  |
|

|
0.10.7.1 wallet synchronized nodes already show 0.10.7.2！ Why not release it？？？
I hope something is done. I have downloaded 0.10.6.3 and can't get my coins out. Wiped it clean from my computer, put in the saved dat file, and it gets down to 9 days and won't update any further? |

I say. We should only have a reasonable fee when exchanging for fiat currency. They get something like 1-4% if I turn it into fiat government currency. Then you wouln't have to figure anything out. It would be done automatically without a hassle.  |

And what did the government do to claim the tax on the crypto currency? Maybe they made her or lowered the cost of transactions? Or maybe they insured us from stealing the crypto currency? NO! That's why taxes should not be!
Taxation without representation is what the call it. Why should these non elected political hacks get taxes from us? They don't protect our assets from criminals. They haven't developed the concepts.  |

Trezor can hold BCH, BTC and BTG. It's a good idea to put an extra pass phrase on each Trezor account before sending coins to Trezor. That way even if someone gets your seed words list or device they still can't get the coins. You also want to make sure it hasn't been tampered with. Generate you're own seed words and number phrase.
Apparently, that's a bad idea. There's a way of figuring out that passphrases exist for a given Trezor seed, whereas if you don't use a passphrase, then it can be proved that you don't have any passphrased accounts pertaining to the same seed mnemonic. can you expound upon this further? afaik, using passphrases for Trezor specific accounts is considered best practice. that's one. two, how can an attacker figure out that passphrases exist for a given seed without you telling him? and third, how can it be proved you don't have any passphrased accounts w/o you telling him? I don't know what he's talking about either. You can even have diversion accounts with different passphrases and lower amounts of coins, to throw someone off. From what I understand. Without an extra passphrase..... If someone got a copy of your 20 seed words they can get your coins. Or if they get the device they might be able to get the number phrase off of a chip in the device if they are a hardware engineer. Then they could log on to your device and move the coins. By then you would have probably moved the coins yourself as soon as you discovered your house had been ransacked. |

I bought mine off Amazon but it may be better to buy direct from Manufacture. If the device comes with a seed word and number pass phrase the device has been tampered with you need to wipe it clean and generate a new seed word- pass phrase.

You can either Sweep (which will create an onchain transaction that sends the BCH from the old "btc" addresses to new BCH addresses in your BCH wallet)... or you can Import the keys into a BCH wallet (use the "Import Bitcoin addresses or private keys" option when creating the wallet in ElectronCash).
It depends what you want to do... if you want to HODL your BCH, then Sweep is the better option as you're moving the coins from the "exposed" keys. If you're just wanting to dump the BCH... importing the keys and then just sending them to an Exchange is probably "cheaper" and faster (saves paying and waiting for the sweep transaction)
can't you just import your keys into an offline ElectronCash wallet as a cold wallet option for hodling? I don't know how to configure an "offline" ElectronCash wallet. It probably can be done. After extracting the coins you just send them to your hardware wallet. Wash repeat with next forked coin. Or you can add a password to the ElectronCash wallet and keep the coins there until you figure out what to do with them. |

For BCH, Do I just simple sweep Private Key "(Plain Base58)keys" to get bch ? I just simply imported (copy and pasted from a prepared note pad file) my "used" private keys, with no addresses. Stacked on top of each other. In Plain Base 58 format. Into the import electrum wallets. I've done BTG and BTP so far. No problems. I guess if you don't import your "unused keys" your Armory wallet is still secure (for future transactions)? But if I every need to use Armory I will still make another wallet just in case. |

Hi justmyname I want to move my BTC. What is the fee you set when you sent out BTC? Do you follow this site advice: e.g. set transaction fee is currently 20 satoshis/byte ...... https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/The traffic isn't that high right now. Anything over a dollar in transaction fees will quickly send the Bitcoin. I think I spent under 5$ to send all my Crypto to my hardware wallet. Funds were in hardware wallet withing a minute. Looks legit to me but I'm not an expert coder. All you can do is do a search to find any bad sites that are known to have tampered wallets. Generally if you go to a coins official site the wallets are safe. |

Seems newer bitcoin cash nodes have stricter connection parameters to avoid getting connections from other chains and now armory can't connect anymore...
On the node I get Invalid message start.
Tested with newest ABC and BUcash
Their is a problem with the newer ABC wallets. It won't work with ARmory unless you use an older version like this. https://download.bitcoinabc.org/0.16.1/win/My BCH Armory Wallet works better than when synched to the original BTC Core. |

Generally it is more effective to just buy the coins. However. A coworker of mine is cloud mining and has about .5 Bitcoins after six months. He only payed $3000 for the contract so I guess he more than payed for the contract already and has six more months of mining to go.

why do you need to go thru BTC Electrum first? why not just import Armory private keys directly into Electron Cash and/or ElectrumG? You can import your keys into any compatible wallet that allows it. Go to the most valuable coin first. After importing keys move the coins into another, hardware wallet etc. That has has it's own seed, keys. A compromised wallet download. Device. Could steal your keys and get whatever is left in there. |

Thank you very much for your reply "HCP"
I got the Hardware Wallet, I will move btc , bch, btg.....to it. I will also keep all private keys and the wallet backups. Just remember. First move your BTC to the new hardware wallet before exporting the keys. As you get new coins move them to the hardware or other wallets. Copy your keys to windows notepad and put that in a safe offline place like a thumb drive. Then edit everything out except the used keys. One key stacked above the next. Then you can import them over and over into any coins wallet designed to except keys previously forked from Bitcoin. |

You're not really uninstalling anything. Unless for example. You uninstall and then go into "C:\Users\john-asus\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\" and then delete the "Bitcoin file".
And for an added layer of protection copy the keys for each wallet into a thumb drive along with the back ups.

If you have backups (from working wallets) you can always uninstall the corrupted wallet. then go into hidden files and delete the wallet file. Then restore the wallet. Either and or Bitcoin Core or Armory. I would start with Armory. You're wallet data files are corrupted. Other wise it wouldn't take more than 6 hours at the most to rebuild the data base.
