Is that the fee to cancel it? i was wondering the proper way to cancel an unconfirmed transaction bc i was in a panic and not really sure how i completed this
The name " cancel transaction" is just a newbie-friendly way of labeling the actual process. It's actually utilizing " double-spend" as indicated in the close and open brackets after the name: " Cancel (double-spend)". Basically, it has to create another transaction that will send the funds back to one of your own wallet's address. That's because it's really impossible to remove an already broadcast transaction from each Bitcoin node's mempool, you have to create a new transaction that will spend the same input(s) of the original unconfirmed transaction. Since it's just another transaction, it also has a fee.

If you have been using the hard drive, that's normal. Chances that you'll recover the wallet.dat in that case is very slim.

How about the logs in "armorylog.txt"? Have you noticed some errors?
BTW, I've asked a Mod to move this to Armory sub-board.

Use dustrelayfee=n (BTC/kB) instead of the feerate-related configs | the default value is 0.00001 BTC/kB. Here's the related note for that config: # Fee rate (in BTC/kB) used to defined dust, the value of an output such that it will cost about 1/3 of its value in fees at this fee rate to spend it. dustrelayfee=0.00001

The binary i downloaded from the repo...do you know where or how to get the appropriate sig file, or where its path would be if it installed together with the download? If you could spellout the process on how to verify the linux binary electrum it would be very helpful, thanks
There are no compiled binaries in the official repository, only the source code. Which " official repository" was it downloaded from? Home: github.com/spesmilo/electrumReleases: github.com/spesmilo/electrum/tags

is the only reason to use something other than bitcoin core to create a wallet to set up multi-sig? -snip- im trying to understand better why someone would want to use something other than btc core for cold storage wallet set up and have to work with two different programs instead of one?
No, it's not a MultiSig wallet. It's a standard single-sig, the online machine doesn't contain private keys, only the offline machine. The goal is to isolate the private keys from online environment even when spending the funds. In your case, you can just delete the offline laptop's wallet later since you won't be spending the funds for long and use only the online watch-only wallet to receive funds and monitor the balance. When you need to spend it, restore the offline wallet on the offline laptop to sign the transaction that you'll create using the online laptop. im looking at a seedsigner and they recommend sparrow or specter desktop wallet. is it just "easier" to create a watch-only wallet with those?
I can't tell, used neither of those wallets.

Hello everyone, seem to be having this issue myself. Armory gets to Scanning Transaction History then freezes or halts. Don't have much to ask at the moment, just following the conversation and searching for a resolution myself, if i happen to come by one i'll post it. -snip-
The thread title's issue comes in variety of reasons. OP's issue is seemingly a wrong block in his blockchain; in your case, check the logs ( Armorylog.txt & dblog.txt) if the issue you're experiencing is the same as OP's.

There have been at least some effort to try and mine Electroneum before as far as I remember but even that showed that mining with a mobile phone is not possible.The only coins you can mine are scam networks promising really big returns when in fact you will get nothing from them.
Electroneum team knew that mobile mining doesn't make sense that's why they put an end to their mobile mining, -snip-For the record, it's not even mining in the first place. All it did is to air-drop pre-mined coins to the " mobile Electroneum miners" and base the rate from the user's phone model.

is it possible to
1) load bitcoin core on a laptop not connected to the internet 2) create a new wallet for cold storage Yes. 3) remove the dat file or at lease the private key (make it a "watch only" type wallet) You can remove the wallet.dat from the data directory but not individual private keys from the wallet. 4) get public key/address in order to send btc from software wallet 5) connect laptop to internet and DL blockchain/run node, monitor wallet balance
Yes, it is possible to create a watching-only wallet consisting of address(es) in Bitcoin Core. All you have to do is to create a " blank wallet" ( with "disable private key" option) then import the cold-storage's address using the command: importaddressthen if i need to move funds from that cold wallet, have another laptop that is not connected to the internet reinsert private key and move funds.
You should use that laptop in the first place when creating the cold-storage wallet. Then use the other online laptop for the watching-only wallet.
If Bitcoin Core isn't a requirement, try Electrum cold storage setup: https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/coldstorage.htmlIf it is, try Armory ( it uses Bitcoin Core in the background): https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/cold-storage/ ( old site | refer to the link in the main page for the latest url)

That is, the code will take the form: sudo wget https://download.electrum.org/4.2.0/electrum-4.2.0-x86_64.AppImage.asc Based on the previous releases, they have been consistent with the files' naming scheme except on those that needed hardware compatibility like the apk files. So it will work, but sometime in the future, it could change. You can actually browse to download.electrum.org using your browser to see the available files.

Please advise whether it is possible to export BIP39 mnemonics from Electrum
Denis
Is your goal to be able to simultaneously use the same wallet in Electrum and Trustwallet? If so, you can do pooya's suggestion to do the " reverse". If it's just to restore your Electrum wallet to Trustwallet, then sending the funds normally is the best option. Anyway, the post that you replied to already has the answer to your question, language barrier perhaps? Try the local boards: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php#5

I also read a comment where someone said it is not possible to download just part blocks as it going to be useless without the chainstate.
It contains blocks and chainstate folder. I tried to download the files and set-up a temporary instance of Bitcoin Core v22.0 using those files. This instance is using the blockchain downloaded from that repo: The blockchain loads but I can't comment nor vouch on the integrity of the files. Now only if you really want to use it: there should be no problem if you'll just create a new wallet since it's empty; that's assuming that the contents are legit, there's no existing wallet files in the datadir and you've set the right setting: prune=2200. It will not work if you'll load an existing wallet.dat or will import addresses/keys because it will have to rescan to verify transactions. But take consideration of the recommendations and warnings by other users.

I wonder, do you think the Bitcoin network will survive if all the network nodes are non-listening (outbound connections)?
The good thing is, Bitcoin Core nodes are configured to listen by default. But usually, it's the user's network, ISP or system that's hindering inbound connections.

So it looks like I messed up... I have no idea where I got this address where I sent btc to. Also why would I write down seed of empty wallet ;( this all makes no sense to me...
Electrum can create more than one wallet and open separate instances of each; Also, during the install wizard, it will ask you to create your first wallet. You might have created a legacy wallet before you created the SegWit wallet, then mistakenly used the legacy wallet to receive the funds from Coinbase. Unfortunately, with the address alone, it's impossible to tell where wallet it belongs to. At least the output is still unspent so we can rule-out any case of " clipboard hijacking malware".

My issue is that Bitcoin Core doesn't open at all & shuts down when it says it needs to reindex Fortunaltely I don't have a Space nor Bandwidth/Speed issues...
You can open bitcoin core if you set prune=550 ( value depending on the previous setting) in your bitcoin.conf file because your current blockchain is pruned. But that's not what you need to do to solve the main issue, it's to reindex. If --reindex isn't convenient for you, you can just delete or rename the " blocks" and " chainstate" folders from your bitcoin data directory. That will reset your blockchain and Bitcoin Core will redo the initial block download.

First, you need to open a channel. It's only available for SegWit Electrum wallet (addresses start with bc1 and not a '2fa wallet'), if your wallet is of any other type, you can't.
Secondly, you need inbound capacity to be able to receive funds through lightning. You can gain inbound capacity by sending some of your funds or by using the "swap" feature in the channels tab (it uses the same backend as the one suggested above). The latter comes with a fee and it'll send some of your lightning funds to your on-chain funds. You can check how much you can receive in the 'channels' tab: "can receive X. BTC".
Lastly, if the requirements above were already satisfied, use the 'Lightning' button in the receive tab instead of 'New Address'.

No , it is not spent. This is the returned error: "error": "Input not found or already spent", since the cold machine isn't connected to the USB disc blockchain data yet, the actual error is "Input not found". After I connect the USB disc blockchain data, it can sign successfully.
Yeah, I've noted in my previous reply that you're the one who spent it ( in your successful attempt).

Actually, I found that when I change the registry item "bPrune" to "true" on the hot machine, launch bitcoin core, it will not request to redownload the full chain node, and just works in the prune mode. it can work well to create transaction and sync to latest blockchain.
So the cold machine is set to prune the blockchain in the first place. Then since you set the hot machine to prune too, both machine work since nothing's different in the settings and contents of the datadir. The downside is you'll never be able to load other wallet, otherwise you'll have to re-download the blockchain. After I plug in the USB disc with blockchain data, launch bitcoin core, and run the command above, it can be successful.
Ah, so it's you who spent it and it's successful in your last attempt. Congrats.

in the cold machine, how to avoid this "pruning blockstore" when launching bitcoin core ? You found the reason why it needed to re-download the blockchain. Forgot to mention that prune setting is on by default and you said that you are in default settings, so if you haven't unchecked it in the welcome screen/settings, it must be on. That setting will delete the older blocks until the set size has reached to save disk space. And also, I tried to sign the transaction without blockchain data, just after installing bitcoin core to the cold machine, launch bitcoin core and go to the console window, run: signrawtransactionwithkey 0200000001540e466ccd38e1b501ff68a6955e62ec6ebc28a99a32cad45ae99ad4b21e19f600000 00000ffffffff0250c30000000000001976a9141ed2825114aa8f7e4888976ddbc69de934b279ed 88ace0930400000000001976a914c37ac538ce62d824438c1cc28403d24434e600e988ac0000000 0 [\"***********K6XcFXSqjWYaM*********\"]
it will return errors: "txid": "f6191eb2d49ae95ad4ca329aa928bc6eec625e95a668ff01b5e138cd6c460e54", "vout": 0,
The coin that you're trying to spend was already spent ( just a few minutes ago): f6191eb2d49ae95ad4ca329aa928bc6eec625e95a668ff01b5e138cd6c460e54:0
