201  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Blockchain Unconfirmed transaction since yesterday paid good fee too on: August 25, 2017, 09:52:50 PM
Checking the actual mempool size (90k unconfirmed transactions is a lot) your transaction will most probably take few days to confirm.

So your options are
- trying to accelerate it using viabtc accelerator (this one os for free) or use paid version at BTC.com
- or try to replace the transaction ( resend it again with higher fee) ... but for this option you would have to send it as replaceable transaction at the first place. Did you?

Import Bitcoin Address

when I click on "more options", all is lets me do is archive, no other functions listed...

I agree with 3rd post in this thread. I did it same way using coinomi.
In simple steps:
1 - Get rid of the BTC on given address ( this just to be sure when something goes wrong you are going to lose only BCH) by sending them to some your other wallets.
2 - Export the privatekey ( from the NOW empty address)
3 - Import the private key to any BCH supporting wallet (like coinomi)

The above mentioned address has no BCH on it. Why are you importing it? From what I have read you should be importing the bitkee address ( which IMO has the BCH ).

EDIT. Sorry, just notice the addy has BCH. (I have copied it with the watch at the end).
So is seems your only problem is how to extract the privetkey from bitkee. Their FAQ should help.

Is there anything I can do to my wallet to reduce the inputs? would using an online wallet like blockchain.info make this problem not happen? I guess what i'm asking is how can I make transactions of any amount be as low as possible in size?


Well, knowing the right answer to this would make you a bilionare  Cheesy

I feel the number of inputs is one of the major factors so reducing them is quite essential.
In the past I had plenty dust inputs (small transactions from various faucets) all over my wallet and when tried to send them away the fee was huge (unable to spend them reasonably) so I sent them in one big transaction to my other wallet with very small fee hoping it will eventually confirm (because I was sending them to myself I didn't bother about confirmation time). Luckily it went through in about two days.

TLDR: No simple answer. Try to apply some sort of wallet management. Like do not accepting to many small transactions (or if you have to then use a third party wallet to consolidate them). New address for each transaction etc.

I want to start bitcoin mining and need help from experienced miners.Which miner is most profitable now?? Where should I start?? Thanks in advance...

Most efficient is Antminer S9. So bitmain should be one of your first stops.

When I input a send in my core wallet of .5 btc to send with the fee set to high it comes up with .003 transaction fee (over $12!) but when I change the amt to .7 btc and leave the fee set to the same place it comes to a little over .001 transaction fee. The difference is the size in kb, .7 btc is a .226 kb transaction and the is a .5 btc .668 kb transaction.
Can someone explain this?  Huh

You wallet contains more inputs (my guess). And the totals tx size depends on how many inputs will be involved in the transaction (as well as how many outpusts...)
Will try to explain using example (just the principle)

Lets assume you have 2 addresses each with 0.36 BTC.  So when sending 0.5 BTC you are going to use two inputs (total 0.72 BTC) and the rest of BTCs will have to go somewhere as well ( your change address ) ... all this information (about change addy, amount, number of inputs/outputs etc. are information stored in the transaction (thus making it bigger).

But when sending 0.7 You are going to use also both inputs but remaining amount is smaller thus less info within the transaction thus less fee.


Ok this makes sense. So if I customize the fee to send .5 with only .001 fee it will take forever right? I never paid much attention to fees before btc got so expensive, now it matters.




Yea, probably. You can check expected confirmation time with https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

Hi Everyone,

I am quite new to bitcoin. And I want to know how to accept payment using bitcoin. Where to start? Is there anyone who can help?
My website is https://wildswood.com

It sells wooden watches. We currently accepting payment through Paypal and Stripe.

Looking forward to your reply

Lawrence


BitPay & Coinbase will be your best bet, unless you want to build a solution yourself.

Mycelium gear is also an option.

Hi guys,

I'm new to bitcoin and I made an investment in Hashnest.

On Monday (08/21/2017), I made a withdrawal from my wallet and until today has not been confirmed.

I got in touch with the BITMAIN staff and they told me that the rate (BTC / KB) is very low. But it was they who set the rate. I have answered this with them and am waiting for the answer.

Can someone else give me a light how could I complete this transaction? Can I handle this transaction in any way Huh


Thanks

It's fully their responsibility to send BTC with proper fee, not yours and they control most of the mining power so should be no issue for them to include small fee transaction. I would definitely ask them to fix it asap.

Nevetheless you can try speed it up using viabtc accelerator https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ (just enter tx id and solve captcha. There is some request limit but once you get success confirmation your tx will be included in their next block.)

It's not photoshop. I have received order confirmation with similar errors (values in USD tho marked as BTC). Just some error on bitmain side.

I have no experience with  Electron-Cash wallet ... heard some issues about so rather not used it. I've recovered my BCH using coinomi. Import the private key from your electrum wallet (not the seed but private key for given address with BCH).

Good day. I trade on your trading account in the first stage. At the second stage, the trade will be made on the account of the investment fund.
I accept accounts equivalent to 1 bitcoin.

What is this? Are you asking us to give you access to our exchange accounts?

BTW I think this should be in Service Announcements section
Why do I need your personal account? I suggest opening an account on the stock exchange, and I will multiply your coins. A profit divide))

That's what I was thinking. You want access to account with funds.

Ok, so you have trading experience. Any reference/proof? Some of your previous trades? What guarantees do we have? Are you willing to escrow risked funds (at least partially) or collateral?
Once you are dealing with other people money you need to share more info. Nobody is going to give you funds without any proofs.

Would just API key/secret pair work for you instead of the full access? ( we can disable withdrawals for given API key).

How often does activity count update itself.  Also what is the way to check current potential activity?
Updates every two weeks (on Tuesday I think) and max up to +14 activity each period.

Fellas , what is the best wallet with the less transaction fee?

Electrum is good wallet.
BTW fee size does not depend on which wallet you are using (it's given by the network).
216  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: paper wallet on: August 18, 2017, 11:31:51 AM
is hardware wallet more secure? Since login is using hardware
Yes, it is safer.
If anybody gain access to your paper wallet he can spent all the bitcoins easily.
If anybody gain access to your hardware wallet he can do nothing (unless he knows your pin or your seed phrase).

But have to say when creating a HW wallet you should write down (backup) your seed phrase ... which is actually kind of paper wallet as well.
217  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: fees on: August 15, 2017, 12:47:24 PM
hello,im brand new to this and am wondering if i have done something wrong as the fee i was charged seems really high,i bought Ł10.00 worth of bitcoin from my bank acc at a cost of Ł10.99,by the time it hit my wallet it was showing Ł7.05 in gbp and 0.0023 btc,is this going to be the norm every time i move funds from one place to another,if so it hardly seems worth getting involved with it,can anyone help please.

Yea, the fees are real pain in the ass sometimes.

Fiat balance you see reflects the actual BTC price. So if you bought Ł10 worth BTC at Ł3200 it makes sense you have less fiat value now (when BTC cost Ł3100).
So question is HOW MANY BTCs you have agreed to buy (prior finishing the deal) and that amount you should have received in your wallet (maybe minus the tx fee, but this depends on service you have used)
May I ask what service you have used to purchase BTC? (because the total amount could have been further reduced by withdrawal etc. fees)

Just guesstimate transferring 0.0023 BTC should roughly cost cca. 0.0003 BTC fee.

For actual fees you can use https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ ( fee amount is usually stated in satoshis/byte ). Also I usually check the mempool size ( number of unconfirmed transactions) trying to send BTCs only when it's below 20k-30k transactions ( otherwise it takes too much time to process and forces you to apply higher fee to speed things up).

Stačí mi vědět to že nabízí dlouhodobě neudržitelné zhodnocování a všechno ostatní kolem je jen omáčka.

Takže ještě jednou a naposled: Kdyby si odpustili to zhodnocování tak neřeknu ani papír. Jenže pak by ta slavná komunita nejspíš ani nevznikla a komunita vybudovaná kolem takového schematu bude velice kvalintí a důvěryhodná (plná relevantních informací a rad).
219  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: SinoHash second facility opens for preorder on: August 14, 2017, 11:17:40 PM

All 10 of my miners have been offline for more then a week. Is anybody else having the same issue?

I have a terrible experience with sinohash. The outages were so often and in the end I was offline two weeks before able to get refund (which I was not satisfied with at all). Eric told me he had some issues with entire facility and have no space for miners. BUT I had to contact him! ( not received any info until I asked )  ... definitely a bad attitude.

I would advice anybody to stay away (until he sort things out) though his prices are uncompetitive the hosting quality is very bad.
So my experience.

Hmm... Looks like an phising scam attempt. Could you check the shorted link?

You can see where the URL will lead you to doing any of the options bellow:

First option: https://goo.gl/#analytics/goo.gl/DzHnre/all_time - change the X with the code after goo.gl
Second: put a "+" at the end of the link. Will lead you to the same url as the first option. e.g: goo.gl/XXXXXX+
Third: Use http://www.checkshorturl.com

Edit: Looks like the URL was disabled by Google for violating their Terms of Service.

Great, I have never heard of those options. Though I know goo.gl is removing obvious scam site links I had not enough courage to click it.
Thanks for hints.

EDIT. Yea, tried it as well and shortened link seems to be already disabled. So scam attempt confirmed.
