The address OP is referring to isn't a vanity address. Vanity addresses are derived with testing a large number of private keys. So, the owner knows the private key.
No one knows the private key of the address mentioned in the OP and creating an address like that is very very easy. The only requirement is that the address must have the correct format of a bitcoin address and pass the checksum.
It may worth mentioning that creating an address like the one mentioned in the OP with a known private key is almost impossible.

With coin control, you don't specify the change address. Coin control allows you to select which UTXO(s) you want to be used.

Assume that you have three UTXOs and you want to make a transaction using a specific UTXO. You can go to coin control and select the desired UTXO.
Now, it's like that you only have that specific UTXO and the two other UTXOs won't be used for your transaction.

The problem is probably with the website you are using for hosting images.
Try it a with a different image hosting website like imgur.com. It should work without any problem.

You can also use imgbb.com and postimages.org as alternatives to imgur.

That's not the size of the image uploaded in that thread.
Click on "quote" button in that post. Copy the URL of the uploaded image. Paste it into your browser to see the image on the hosting website. Download the image.
You will see that the real size of the image is 640*2526.

The image you were trying to post had a width of 1440 and height of 4700. Right?
If so, that's different from size of the image shown above. In that post, the user has posted an image with the width of 640 and height of 2526.

The problem may be with the ratio of height to width of your image.

How do you resize your image?
If you want your image to have high quality, you shouldn't increase the size here. Increase, you should upload a bigger image.
For example, if you upload a 16*9 image and you want your image to be 1600*900, it's normal that it would have a very bad quality.

Upload the image with the proper size, so you won't have to change the size here.

Does  "!" always consolidate all the coins to the change address, if coin control isn't used?

Let's say I have two UTXOs.  UTXO_A is worth 0.04 BTC and UTXO_B is worth 0.06 BTC. I have received these two UTXOs in two different addresses.
Now, I want to send 0.05 BTC without using coin control feature. As far as I know, electrum would use the UTXO_B and wouldn't use UTXO_A at all. 0.05 BTC will be sent to the recipient and 0.01 BTC minus transaction fee will be sent to the address specified using "!". So, my coins won't be consolidated. Correct me if I am wrong, please.

From my understanding from the article you shared, only people from United States are allowed to withdraw 2,000 dollar worth of cryptocurrencies without going for verification.
People from other countries have to verify their identity for withdrawing any amount of cryptocurrencies.


It may worth mentioning that the withdrawal limits apply to their exchange and it has nothing to do with their wallet.

Right. With stealing testnet coins, the hacker actually warns about using a fake version of electrum. No hacker would do that.


OP already said that he/she generated the private keys through a brainwallet and used so simple words. See this post.

As I said in my previous post, there is no way to derive a private key from a bitcoin address or a public key. The public key is derived from a private key through a one/way function.
If it was possible to derive the private key from a public key or an address, then everyone could steal all the bitcoins.

Any wallet that is connected to the internet is called hot wallet. So, you are using a hot wallet.
There's always the risk of being hacked in hot wallets and I would never recommend anyone to use a hot wallet especially when it comes to close-source wallet like trustwallet.
Just because you haven't had any problems before doesn't mean trustwallet is secure and you won't have any problem in the future.

I don't really understand what you are trying to achieve.
Why the first 35 characters and why not the first 20 or 40 characters?
What do you have now? What do you want to derive the private key from? Are you trying to convert a private key in hex to WIF format?

Note that if you have a bitcoin address or a public key, there is no way to derive the private key from them.

It has worked.
By sweeping your private keys, you actually made a transaction to your electrum wallet.
Now, your transaction has been broadcast to the network and you should be able to see that on block explorers as well. It will be confirmed sooner or later.
The confirmation time depends on the fee rate you used for your transaction. Whatever fee you paid, it shouldn't take long. Network isn't busy.

You have missed the first 35 characters of your private key and now you want to calculate them? Am I getting you correctly? If so, there is no solution for that.
If you had missed a few characters, you could find them through brute-force method. But there is no way to brute-force a private key with 35 missing characters.

jmlkav6699, Armory doesn't work if you download the blockchain in prune mode. I knew this, but I don't know why I forgot to mention that when replying to your other topic. I am sorry.
If you can't store the full blockhchain, as mentioned by BitMaxz in that topic, the only solution for you is to import your private key(s) into a SPV wallet like electrum.

If pruning was enabled when downloading the blockchain, that's what caused the problem.

I don't have any information about poker and I don't really know how your giveaway will work, but since you are going to pay the winner(s) with bitcoin and not with an altcoin, I don't think there's any problem with your topic.
"Games and round" should be suitable for such a thread.

If your wallet isn't compromised and you are sure that you have downloaded electrum from the official website, maybe it's your device which is compromised.
Can you try creating a new wallet on a different device and check whether the same thing happens or not?

Yes.
If I don't want to see the signatures below the posts, I can easily go to my profile and change the setting, so signatures are not shown.
If you post a signature below your posts and I don't want to see them, I can ignore your posts or report them.
If all the users do the same thing, I can do not nothing. So, the best is to not allow users to add signatures to their posts at all.

Maybe, OP edited that post and added something later.

Take note that the odds aren't determined by the house. Freebitco is using Parimutuel betting system and the odds are determined by the users.
In freebtico, all the money that has been bet on an event by all the users goes to a pool. 5% of that goes to the house and the 95% is shared between the winners.
The odds depend on the total money that has been put on the event, the money that has been put on each of outcomes and the time weight multiplier.
