As much as I share the happy sentiment that the "chikun has arisen" we should probably keep the topic on Bitcoin here. adamstgBit's will have to spend all day deleting posts if it gets more out of hand.  Adam got deleted a long time ago. Oh. Guess I wasn't paying attention. Does he have a new account? Anyhow, the forum mods still delete off-topic posts. Thanks for pointing it out. Some think that Killerpotleaf is Adam's new account. There's nothing that I know of that definitely links the two accounts, but Killerpotleaf does share Adam's sense of humour. |

Dear cpfreeplz thanks for reply .. i have my wallet address and login to my account successfully and my balance is showed to me .. when i want to transfer BTC to other wallet this page (attached file) is open and want my private key that i haven't it. can i contact with support time blockchain.info?! they help me you say?   At the bottom of that screenshot is shows your wallet received 0.00027375 Bitcoins on June 16, 2017. What address were those coins sent to, and what's the transaction ID? This address 176sh81PQupUsFyx6hNL2PTYydSu from the screenshot doesn't seem to be a valid Bitcoin address. Did I copy the address correctly, or is that not your address? The transaction ID should show a valid address for that wallet. Also, exactly how many years old is your wallet? Blockchain.info's wallet format has changed a number of times over the years. Is that address from the screenshot a watching only wallet? This linked page explains watch only wallets, and a comment at the bottom is complaining about exactly the same error message you have. To spend from a watch only blockchain.info wallet you have to provide the private key when prompted. If you don't have the private key for a watching only walet you can't spend from it. https://blog.blockchain.com/2016/05/31/how-to-use-watch-only-addresses/ |

Now I have a wallet with something like ~60 LTC left, and I'm too lazy to even sync it with the network, lol.
You can send them to an exchange without syncing, provided your wallet is already synced enough to see its received your litecoins. Dump them for Bitcoin, you would get over a Bitcoin for them, and if you keep that Bitcoin for ten years it might be worth a million dollars. |

BItcoin looks to be recovering a bit today. LTC is on a tear (for Litecoin of course). While everything has been volatile again at the end of the week zcoin has made very little headlines with its big gains.
I would like to see Bitcoin make it back to steady $2700s again...
There seems to be a pattern of weekend Bitcoin pumps developing, as opposed to the weekend dumps we used to get. I still don't understand the reason for it as no fiat gets sent to exchanges while the banks are closed over the weekend. |

Apparently there is a ‘vulnerability’ in Jaxx that hackers used to steal $400,000 of coins held in their wallets. I wouldn't consider using it unless that gets fixed. Reports are surfacing of a ‘vulnerability’ in Jaxx wallet leading to at least $400,000 customer funds being stolen. A report on the insufficient wallet backup phrase storage methods this weekend has now updated to include reports that hackers are already exploiting the problem to steal cryptocurrency from users.  After you read the whole article[1], you will come up with the decision of not using this wallet again (most likely). Basically, they have no plans to alter or change the security setup of their wallet. I'd recommend everyone to either stop using this wallet or simply stop storing large amounts. [1] https://cointelegraph.com/news/jaxx-wallet-vulnerability-users-report-400k-funds-theftsAlso Jaxx is buggy. Try reading the problem discussed in this thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1841007.0 |

Well an update years later, seems my 1.5 bitcoins have been lost completely.
Thanks Multibit!
Can you confirm you are running windows? I assume you are as you said hidden folders and files is switched on. What was the original version of multibit you had installed that lost your coins? The wallet file format changed at about version 0.4.0. Have you used your computer much since you lost your coins? If you haven't there might be a chance the wallet files got deleted, but their private keys might still be on your hard drive. Don't boot from that hard drive anymore if you think the wallet files might have been deleted. The more times you boot from it the more chance there is that windows might overwrite your Bitcoin's private keys. If you think the wallet files might have been deleted put your computer's hard drive in an external hard drive enclosure, plug that into another computer, and use the other computer to search it. If you are running windows and didn't delete your wallet files try downloading and running this search tool. http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/File-management/Portable-Everything.shtmlRun it, wait for it to index all the files on your drive, then individually search for each of the items in this list. .key .wallet .info .cipher key-backup rolling-backup wallet-backup wallet-unenc-backup If it shows any file or folder with a name including an item from that list then there might be a chance of recovering your coins. Did your multibit wallet have a password? If it didn't then there might be other ways to recover your coins. Try installing a hex editor capable of doing a full search of your drive and use it to search for 08011220, which is a sequence of bytes that occurs in an unencrypted multibit wallet file 32 bytes before a private key in hex format. These instructions explain how to search for those bytes in a corrupted wallet file, but you can also adapt and use them to search an entire hard drive, although that will be time consuming. If you deleted your wallet files, but haven't used your drive much there might be a chance that technique could recover your coins. Since version 0.4.0 multibit classic wallet files are in a format called Google protocol buffer format (protobuf). Open a file with a .wallet extension in a hex editor and look for the following sequence of bytes 08 01 12 20. The next 32 bytes after that should be your private key in hex format. After you get your private key in hex format you can convert it to a normal format using an offline copy of the bitaddress website. I tested this on an unencrypted wallet (one with no password) in multibit version 0.5.1.6 and it worked for me. This is the hex editor I used, although any other is probably sufficient. http://www.wxhexeditor.org/home.phpThis is the bitaddress website. I advise you not to directly paste private keys into it. https://www.bitaddress.org/Instead look for this link at the bottom of the page and use it to download a zipped copy you can run offline. https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/archive/v3.3.0.zipThis is my multibit wallet file opened in the hex editor with the bytes 08 01 12 20 that precede a private key highlighted.  This is the 32 bytes of a private key (in hex format) highlighted.  This is the 32 bytes of a private key (in hex format) copied directly from the hex editor into notepad.  This is the 32 bytes of a private key after removing the spaces in notepad.  This is the private key copied from notepad and pasted into an offline copy of the bitaddress wedsite. Click the view details button to get the private key converted to normal formats.  This is my multibit wallet's address 1F84fkbMng6dJpGZmtycRbUe72B7XSYbeT shown on the right hand side of bitaddress. Every raw private key can convert into two different bitcoin addresses, which is why there's two.  This is my multibit wallet's address 1F84fkbMng6dJpGZmtycRbUe72B7XSYbeT shown in multibit.  You can import your private key into the wallet of your choice to get control of yours coins back. Electrum's a good choice. |

Im wondering how to assess pump exhaustion from chart/price action, and predict its end in advance (0.5-1 minute is ok ) :] is that possible at all?
From what i saw in the past so far it can be mess, some are still buying while others are dumping..
I don't think there is a very reliable way to predict it, and history doesn't always repeat itself. However Elwar says that in 2013 the price doubling in a week, or half a week was what preceded a crash.
In 2013 it went like this.
First bubble:
Double in a month
Double in 2 weeks
Double in 1 week
Double in half a week
Up a bit then crash
Second bubble:
Double in a month
Double in 2 weeks
Double in 1 week
Up a bit then crash
Recently we doubled in a month (1250 to 2500) but then it flattened out. That's a good thing.

Cheers! If not its pretty much a case of no access to the wallet right?
If you didn't password protect the electrum wallet on your computer you should be able to open it in notepad and read the seed words. If it's not password protected they should be written in plain text inside the wallet file. Also you could try opening your electrum wallet's GUI, clicking "wallet" in the menu, then clicking "seed". It should then show you the seed words, but it will ask for a password first if it's password protected. |

I absentmindedly sent .005 btc thru the mixer instead of .05. Didn't even notice the error message "0.005 BTC will be returned / minimum for mixing is .01". However, it still generated an address to the money to. In my haste, I sent out .005 to the address given.
Well, after 6 confirmations my coins didn't end up where I sent them, nor were they refunded. It looks like they went to the forwarding address generated by the mixer.
Is there any hope for getting my coins back? Even though it wasn't the minimum, I would really like to see them in my wallet where they belong. All info sent to the mod by pm.
I doubt it, the FAQ clearly states amounts sent below 0.01 BTC will be considered as donations, and you sent 0.005 BTC, which is half the minimum. https://bitmixer.io/faqs.htmlIs there a minimum transaction size?
Please do not send transactions less than 0.01 BTC. Smaller amounts will be considered as donations. If you downloaded your Letter of Guarantee you could try contacting support at support@bitmixer.zendesk.com, but they don't have to reply or offer a refund. |

Is your paper wallet encrypted (does it have a password)? If it has a password it's encrypted and needs decrypting before electrum will let you import/sweep it.
The software a paper wallet is created with is usually able to decrypt it.

Do you have the seed wallet words saved? If you have then create a new wallet that restores from that seed using the “wallet with two factor authentication” option. That should create a new wallet containing your coins that doesn't need OTC. This page explains the process. http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/2fa.htmlHowewver, electrum versions 2.6 and 2.6.1 had a bug that prevented the process from working. If you are running either of those versions upgrade to the latest version before using that process. This thread explains the process (and the bug in versions 2.6 and 2.6.1). https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1388811.0 |

Send option look like this today, there is new feature to pick Regular or Priority fee but there is no Advanced Send anymore.  Is that "customize fee" at the lower right of the screenshot a clickable link, or non-clickable text? If it's clickable what happens if you click it? Yes, that's right when you click those "customize fee" you can customize your tx fee in sat/byte, that's the advance sending option of the wallet. But I don't think if it really does since I'm not using blockchain in sending tho I have a wallet there for viewing the issue of others. Just see the image below when you click the "customize fee"  Thanks for checking. I don't have a blockchain.info wallet so I couldn't check myself. It looks like you can still choose your own sat/byte fee rate, and that's the most important feature. A month ago it seemed almost the only way to get a blockchain.info fee high enough to get fast confirmations. |

I'm sure he can think of something. This part is best left to your imagination. The drug guys and organized crime have been doing it for years. Or you could mix it up and use your crypto to buy PMs (like gold or silver) from a reputable site then sell those to a PM dealer local to you. (Big transactions will get recorded.)
Or, you know, you could always just say that you got your bitcoin from Mt. Gox. Or from Cryptsy. Or from [ insert any other exchange that disappeared here]. How would they know otherwise? If they are tech savvy they would use a site like this one that uses taint analysis to calculate where coins came from. This is the free version, but there's a better paid version that exchanges probably use. https://www.walletexplorer.com/That's probably how coinbase knows if your coins break its rules by being associated with a gambling site. |

I forgot to mention that my deposit was only 1000 euros! So yeah I feel this is wayyyy to intrusive for such a small amount of money, while my bank, Chase, does not ask that much question when I transfer far larger amounts.
I checked what the threshold figure is for triggering a suspicious activity report, and it's €1000 according to this website. I think the questions you were asked would technically be called Customer Due Diligence data gathering. However, they do seem intrusive. http://eulawanalysis.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/the-new-eu-anti-money-laundering-legal.html |

and congratz for who sold at 3000 enjoy the holidays
Actually, congrats to those buying this dip, we may never see 2K again. I agree with you but it a good idea to now because the price will still fall down more for days before it rise up to the moon. Therefore, I congratulation those who watch the price closely in other to make some quick buy before the price race up again. Why? There's plenty of support at this level and it seems the worst is already over. If this trend continues we'll either go down a little and up or just sideways for a short time and back up. Triangles forming nicely right now, looks like we will soon go back up. I'm not too worried if it goes up or down. About a month ago we had an ATH of $1800, and a month later it's dipped back down to a 24 hour low of $2120 on stamp. Half a year ago it was below $1000. Even today's dips are great prices compared to six months ago. It's another ATH on bitstamp, it's broken past $1800. Now $2000 is getting extremely close. Bitfinex has an ATH of $1867, only $133 off that magic $2000. It shouldn't take stamp too long to catch up after bitfinex breaks that target.  |

Try downloading a portable version of one of the previous releases, and creating a wallet in it using your wallet words from your current wallet. https://download.electrum.org/ |

Just sent $50 worth of Bitcoin using Mycelium and was charged a fee of over $8!! Something's definitely wrong with their fee schedule!
Yup this will are the most problem encountered on mycelium, so what price option you used? I mean, Priority, normal etc. Because in my side, I'm always using low prio for sending. And it always confirms with in the next 2 blocks. And if you have dust payments input on your transaction then even low prio will be so huge fee for that. Gentlemand paid twice that (about $16) for a transaction containing 25-35 ish inputs. If you want to do a transaction with a huge number of inputs, and are prepared to wait a long time for confirmation you can use your mycelium wallet words to create an electrum wallet, then send the transaction using a low electrum custom fee. There's instructions explaining how to do it here. A few days back. No improvement in fees indeed. I paid a pretty stunning amount to move an input heavy one but I'd already steeled myself for that.
If you don't mind my asking how many satoshis per byte id you pay, and did you choose mycelium's highest priority fee? If I want a very fast confirmation when there's a high backlog of unconfirmed transactions I'm prepared to pay $1, but I draw the line at $2. Um, I can't remember. The fee was about $16 on the normal fee, yes really, on 2 or BTC but that made up of about 25-35 ish inputs. It seems to be rather excessive even with far fewer inputs. |

To conclude our due-diligence procedure, we would however kindly ask you to also provide the following:
1. What is your current occupation?
2. What is the purpose of your Bitstamp account? Describe in as much detail as possible how you use your trading account.
3. Are you using your Bitstamp account in connection with any business/commercial related activity? If so, how?
4. Do you have an established relationship with any other bitcoin exchange?
5. What is the source of the funds deposited to your Bitstamp account? Please provide any financial documentation which can confirm how the funds sent to your Bitstamp account were acquired.
6. Which banks do you intend to use with your Bitstamp account for fiat deposits/withdrawals? Provide complete addresses, account number and SWIFT/BIC codes.
7. What is the estimated amount you intend to deposit/withdraw to/from your Bitstamp account per month (in USD/BTC)?
8. Any relevant financial document which can confirm how funds deposited to your Bitstamp account were/are being acquired. For example, bank statement showing income source, personal tax return, documents/screenshots that can confirm you are receiving family gifts, etc.
9. What is the purpose and destination of your bitcoins withdrawals made from your Bitstamp account?
10. Are you using your Bitstamp account in connection with any gambling related activities?
So I have been waiting a full week for my SEPA deposit to be processed and now I'm getting the above questionnaire. I'm done with them! I hope they will reverse my deposit diligently.
If your SEPA deposit was over a certain amount then they are obliged by law not only to ask those questions, but also to send details of your transaction to a government database. They have to file a suspicious activity report for any transaction over a certain amount. A suspicious activity report is basically sending the details of your transaction to the government so it can put them in a database. I can't remember what figure triggers a suspicious activity report, it might be around 10 thousand euros, but that's only a guess. |
