I've got a mail or 2-3 like this each with a pair of the weird thing and the 64hex string. so they must be related somehow I think.
Perhaps the 64-character hex string is the SHA256 sum of the " weird" alpha-numerical string, used as a checksum. That wont tell what the weird string is, however, if it's true, then you can deduce that the 64-character string isn't a private key.

Fake example: WMB365YW-KV177RT7-25402OBV-5S8L0UI8-W23O0WSB
Try to turn this into a WIF private key through brainwallet, you might have used it: https://brainwalletx.github.io/I'd recommend to use it offline. Just making a WIF from the 64 character strings shows only empty wallets for btc/ltc/BTg and whatever was available in 2013.
Which address ( script) types have you tested so far? Have you already tried both compressed and uncompressed WIF?

Hey Guys, can u please help me to get my wallet online?
Yes. But please tell us the details, what solutions have you previously tried and other related info so that we can have clue about the situation. As the usual, you can also post the logs for more accurate responses. Logs are in your Armory data directory named " armorylog.txt" and " dblog.txt".

key: (fake key, just alphanumeric format is the same with dashes) caef74323-1sdg-4g6h-b33r-23523r45ug43 -snip-
This has a similar dash positions as a blockchain.info " Wallet ID" ( separating three sets of four characters between two longer strings). But it's only as good as a username, you'll still need the password if it's a wallet ID. I don't know what the secret is for though, looks like 'something' in BASE64 format to me.

Here's a personal example to show that it will work: 25e3fd298858abc6d5a0ef71d5df49a8c2c4bb96cc21b8c0cc7e49881bbc8252The inputs are Taproot and P2SH-SegWit, the output is Native SegWit. (those addresses are already in my profile so there's no privacy issue sharing them)BTW, the term " address" shouldn't be mixed with " wallet", 'wallet' is your Trezor, 'address' is what you paste/type when sending coins.

It was me sending from one to the other, I think the wifi may have screwed up GUESSING...
That's possible, if the wallet was opened while offline, then it wont be updated with the latest transactions. So, when you created that transaction, your wallet thought that all those inputs are still unspent but in the blockchain, those are already spent. Now, it will fail to broadcast whether it's online or offline and failing to broadcast a txn wont automatically save it as a " local transaction". It must be saved in the 'history' tab because you clicked " save". Regardless of the reason, you should just remove it and don't expect your coins to return because you already spent those in these transactions: - ee5ebdcc91311d6ed2e3bdac52e6213b741a60b68b636d2506ab21fbc0fefb81
- 01a967aeb984677593c18034404d64016c76bef641cedef87e8b6f61a6793b79

- 5612c98ebf191ca8a7f28cc7f5809d389ee13648fb201454dbf7b0bf7d4c9477
Should be among your latest transactions in the 'history' tab.

my question is, IF I remove it, will it return to the sending address, or will it just vanish?
That depends on the reason why it's invalid in the first place. Usually, if it's just a dropped or forgotten to broadcast transaction, then its input(s) will be useable again when removed. Otherwise, there wont be any coins to " unlock" from that local transaction, for example, if the inputs are already spent by another transaction. What's the error that you're getting when trying to broadcast it?

For those Windows7 users who want to try to upgrade to 4.2.0~4.2.1, try running Electrum directly from source. The minimum python version is python v3.8 that's still supported by Windows7, only the bundled python dll to the Windows binaries ( exe files) are python v3.9 Follow this guide to be able to run Electrum from source on Windows: /index.php?topic=5224252.msg53806954But it needs an additional step because that was for old version of Electrum: now, it requires to build " libsecp256k1-0.dll" using " make_libsecp256k1.sh" in 'contrib' folder, however the script wont work on Windows. There's a pre-compiled 64-bit 'libsecp256k1-0.dll' file provided by SomberNight here: github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/5976, but please read his reply first. Extract it, then paste the file 'libsecp256k1-0.dll' in 'electrum' folder inside 'electrum-master'. Disclaimer: I don't have a Win7 PC but I've tried running Electrum v4.2.1 with python 3.8 and it still works so it might work on Windows7.

I don't know what's the deal with the migration process but they mentioned this in their support page: https://brd.com/brd-joins-coinbasePlease note that it may take up to several hours to migrate BTC and LTC funds depending upon how long ago your wallet was created and how many transactions you have made since wallet creation. " Several hours to migrate"... If it's a straight-out non-custodial wallet, the funds should've shown-up within minutes.

The keyword is "just in case"; Which can be broken down to a number of sentences that start with "In case".
Examples: In case you need the historical data from the wallet / In case you've accidentally sent bitcoins to it.

That error is usually caused by signing the RAW Transaction with the incorrect private key or it's not fully signed yet ( coib.in will show a result even if it's not signed by the key you've provided). Since the tool is coinb.in, you should use the " verify" tab first before attempting to broadcast the transaction. A ready-to-broadcast successfully signed Multisig Txn will show: a check symbol with the number of signatures under " Signed?". You can also check the outputs(s) to see where the transaction is sending coins to ( see if you're actually receiving bitcoins with that transaction).
However, that setup where you need to sign a MultiSig transaction in order to get a refund is sketchy unless explained why, you two are not the first to mention that. I mean, why do you need to co-sign? Is their " refund MultiSig address" co-created with your public key? This doesn't make sense. Here's another similar issue with OP sharing his discussion with the 'service': /index.php?topic=5387764.msg59399757

It's successfully verified; However, you haven't certified neither of the three keys.
Thats it? Awesone! What exaclty happens when I certifiy? It is confirming these keys are legit? Thankyou! Aside from Blackhatcoiner's reply, it's also useful in case you imported a fake key and successfully verified a fake electrum with a signature of it. If you've certified only the real keys, the real Electrum will show that it has " valid signatures" instead of what you've seen " the data could not be verified". I haven't mentioned but, before certifying a certificate, it's very important to look for some legitimate source where you can verify the fingerprint. For example: ThomasV's certificate that I've imported has a fingerprint 6694 D8DE 7BE8 EE56 31BE D950 2BD5 824B 7F94 70E6 which is the same as the one in the official documentary: https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gpg-check.html and from various users' replies. But better if you can verify it from the person himself: https://github.com/ecdsa

It's successfully verified; However, you haven't certified neither of the three keys.
To certify the keys: Open Kleopatra, right-click on Thomas Voegtlin's key, select "certify", tick all three checkboxes and the one below "I have verified the fingerprint". Then click next and finish the rest of the steps. Do this to the other two keys.

That was on ledger, in version 0.13 if not wrong. Just search ledger lost funds chane address, you will find all information about it. Got any more details? Google yields nothing and it must have been a different version than 0.13 since no such version exists in Ledger's release history. Adding quotation marks to " change address" yields related results, specially these: However, it's more of a client issue ( Ledger Live) than the hardware wallet itself, fund is safe all along.

The problem is probably with the version of python you have installed. The minimum version of python required for running electrum has been increased. -snip-
The Windows binaries don't rely on an installed python in the Operating System, it should work without installing python; instead, they bundled python dll files in the binaries themselves. However as stated in the Release Notes, it's now incompatible with Windows7.

-snip- I thought the default keypool was 1000, so now the default has changed to 3000? What also surprises me is the size, having a keypool of 3000 and only 20Kb.
I think because descriptor wallets store descriptors instead of private keys, so it has a keypool of 1000 descriptors for each address type, while with private keys, all three address types can be derived from it. You can test it by using the config: keypool=100n ( some value higher than the default); then you'll see that the result of getwalletinfo for a descriptor wallet has three time the keypoolsize of what you've set. For the size, it's partly because the database used for descriptor wallet " SQLite" is lighter than legacy wallets' " Berkeley DB". But mostly because the newly created wallet only stores the " parent descriptors" for each script type which are very small is size compared to storing individual private keys.

-snip- Question: Is the incentive for miners in (1)and(2) above the same. Please I need clarity on this aspect.
No, they aren't the same. Come to think of it: If (2), the " block reward" is only the sum of (1) the transactions' " fees", then there will be no new coins produced in mining and (2) will be a false statement.

To support hosseinimr93's reply: This is the original transaction that had the 0.007BTC output the sender spent on your " not-received" transaction: 2781fa06820f9307291602e409a9276342d48a0dea6d7bbe344ba0b779f7316cIt's replaced by 824fc21240b279e6638b1fc6a7c8090dd201180efcd535cf9752dd7a716e3ade so, your transaction ( its child transaction) is invalidated as well. There's no reason to increase the fee at that time because 1.35sat/B is good enough to be mined in the next block so it must be a scam. But it wouldn't hurt to ask him if he used " increase fee" or " RBF" to bump the fee because that invalidated the txn he sent to you. Important note: you must not finish a deal until the transaction has at least 1confirmation.

-snip- I just thought it useful to raise the question, as I had not come across the issue/feature before.
Tip: a solid indication that the wallet file's version will be upgraded is if the new version of Electrum wont launch your wallet right after you open it. Instead, first, it will show you the " Install Wizard" - Choose wallet window: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FB2ApHid.png&t=663&c=6yPS0l31Jl548w) Pressing " Next" will upgrade the wallet file.

It worked on Friday after installing but tried to load wallet yesterday and this was the message:
Sometimes, this happens when you tried to install the updated version while the older version is still running that'll make the next session use the outdated version. If that's the case, then just reinstall 4.2 and this time, close every running Electrum instance. Otherwise, you may still be using the shortcut to the older version as mentioned by others.
