-snip- Is there a risk that I can really mess things up irrevocably, or make matters much more complicated for myself, by reinstalling Ledger Live from their website? I'm not very tech savvy, so I don't want to make my life more difficult than it already is. Nothing if it concerns only Ledger Live. It's just an interface that your Ledger Nano use to watch the funds, the keys are safely stored in your Hardware wallet. Just make sure that you wont expose your " Recovery Phrase" anywhere, because some fake versions of Ledger Live ask the user to enter it in case you've downloaded a fake. |

There is a message at on the top of my Ledger Live screen that says "Update to Ledger Live version 2.38.2 is available".
On the right of that, it says "Download update".
A few weeks ago, I clicked on this (without connecting Ledger Nano S, obviously), and it just kept going in circles, and never updated. It was useless.
If the in-app updater doesn't work, download the latest version of Ledger Live from their website instead, the install it over the old version. Link: https://www.ledger.com/ledger-liveIf updating Ledger Live doesn't work, then you'll have to update the firmware by other means. |

-snip- I just completed setup for Trevor One.
I'm not here to answer since I don't use Gemini or " Trevor", but is that a typo? Because I haven't heard of a " Trevor One" hardware wallet and the site 'trevor.io' doesn't offer hardware wallet-related software |

Link doesnt work  The links in my reply? It's working at my end, I guess your ISP is blocking GitHub or some other reasons why you can't access it. Link opens but win-download button cant find the file, it says no longer on server Those links aren't supposed to be download links. Those are links to Electrum's repository ( just for reference) and to ThomasV and SomberNight which have their contact info. |

Just like other custodial wallets, it depends on their fee-estimation algorithm that's partly based from the average size of the mempools.
After clicking "Continue", the funds wont be sent immediately, you'll see another window showing the fee rate and the previous info.
There should be a settings icon near the fee where you can customize it.

What exactly is the fee when doing this? Because when I went to coinbase account and clicked on withdrawing btc from my coinbase account on my computer, for some reason I can't choose the amount of btc I want to withdraw. but the USD amount? Also why does it not show the btc amount that I am withdrawing on coinbase?
There's an " up-down arrows" button at the right-hand side of the send window, it will switch the value from fiat to BTC ( and vice versa). Yes, there's a fee. A selection of fee rate will be shown after you click " Continue". |

IDK what that test is for though since the issue is about 'imported' wallet turning into 'imported - watching only' wallet. -snip- If it turned into a watch-only wallet, he wouldn't be able to export private keys since watch only-wallets don't have private keys. When he attempted to do that, everything was OK. Right... and it will display " watching only" beside the wallet type next to the wallet name ( at the title bar on top). |

“Seeds were working on it, doesnt work on 4.1.5“
It means it opens the wallet, there is no checksum, but no history no balance, totally different wallet i think.
Ah, so it's basically something similar to v0.30 and v0.34's compatibility-breaking update to the key derivation. But unfortunately, I don't know if there's another update like that. You can try to ask the developers themselves from electrum's Github repository. Specially ecdsa ( ThomasV) and SomberNight. ( they have email address in their GitHub profile) |

Seeds were working on it, doesnt work on 4.1.5 That can't be. Seed phrase has been compatible to the latest version since it's implemented, even seed phrase from v0.30 will work with the latest ( but wont restore the correct keys). There are other wallets that use(d) their own implementation of seed phrase/mnemonic backups that aren't BIP39. Example is blockchain.info's old account recovery phrase; you might have used other wallets aside from Electrum. I dont give up😂 one more question whats the first v1 version of electrum that broadcast on ecdsa.electrum.org
-snip-
You mean can be downloaded from electrum.ecdsa.org? IDK but this is the oldest archived page of the site's download page: web.archive.org/web/20121109025628/http://electrum.ecdsa.org/download.html |

Thanks, that helped. Now I have the choice between two options one of which is Remote Node ID and this is exactly what I would like to use. But I'd like to have channel exclusively between two wallets I own, no middle-position node in between. Is that possible or the only way for me to have my wallets LN-connected is to establish connection of each of two wallets to one and the same known peer?
Those two are the only option if " Trampoline Routing" is enabled. You can customize the remote node once you've disabled the said feature in the settings. However, I haven't succeeded yet with creating a channel between two Electrum wallets. You can try though - by providing each other's 'Lightning Node ID' as the " Remote Node ID" ( Wallet->Information) followed by the IP address and port. eg: 02d50fdf1806b54aee46a0ed8c6d8512bee87e88e25029f3384a983c43c5d6a16c@111.111.111.111:9735 But like I've said, it never worked at my end. |

-snip- but can not move further to open LN channel in Electrum connected to testnet as the wallet's Open Channel button remains in the gray state. The wallet is topped up with 0.01 tBTC which, from my understanding, is enough for channel support. The button remains inactive no matter whether trampoline is disabled or not. I would appreciate any suggestion on how to overcome things that block me from LN channel opening with Electrum.
The two things that you may have missed are: - Lightning should be enabled in the menu "Wallet->Information" if it's not ticked at least once yet (if it's created by an older version).
- The wallet's script (address) type should be Native Segwit ('bc1' address), other types including 2fa aren't compatible with Lightning.

Now is it possible at all to explain to me the following:
If I import my private key that is compressed and starts with an L into my Electrum it gives me immediately an address that is empty and obviously belongs to the key. Orb is green so one can assume it is synced. Done and accepted. But I would like to understand why if I leave it like that where the address is empty and the wallet is imported, after 2 days (it varies) it turns to watching only and the address change to my original address which was never imported to Electrum.
-snip-
Did it happen even in your latest attempt? Anyways, so the symptom's timing varies, interesting... Are you sure that you're the only one who have access to your computer(s)? Because it looks like someone has been creating the watch-only wallet by importing that address while you're away. That's the only logical answer that I can think of. I'm wondering, are you perhaps using " Deepfreeze" ( wiki) or other similar software? Yes guys I imported the key in my Electrum and got back the following address and private key from wallet
Address - 1EHNa6Q4Jz2uvNExL497mE43ikXhwF6kZm
Private key - p2pkh:5HpHagT65TZzG1PH3CSu63k8DbpvD8s5ip4nEB3kEsreAnchuDf That's the correct pair, so it's working as intended. IDK what that test is for though since the issue is about 'imported' wallet turning into 'imported - watching only' wallet. |

Okay I imported the key into my Electrum and it synced 1391 transactions. Address starts with 1EH..........
It did it in approximately 30 seconds. Perfect.
That just proved that your Electrum is working as intended. Pmalek also instruct you to check if the private key that you'll get from " 1EHNa6Q4Jz2uvNExL497mE43ikXhwF6kZm" is the same as the private key that you've imported. ('1EH' is publicly known, no need to censor that address)
The shortcut is to open the 'Addresses' tab ( "View->Show addresses" to enable the tab), the right-click on the address and select 'Private key'. |
|
|
|
They then made me wait 3 days, well I chose that as I did not have my passport on me.
Now the channel has timed out and they are just saying that they sent it so it's not their problem.
One this that may be causing the issue is that my Electrum wallet is saying not connected and has a red dot in the bottom right.

So you're abroad? It may be the ISP, if the solution above didn't work, try to change your DNS. e.g.: into google's ( 8.8.8.8), cloudflare's ( 1.1.1.1) public DNS or others. There are a couple of online tutorials about 'how to change your network's DNS'. |

That's a very famous topic that's been discussed quite frequently. If you need more responses to that question, read these old threads: |

I didn't thought to do a rescan..
Thank you for your fast answer guys
Any follow-ups or you'll just leave it unresolved? If using a 'blockexplorer' doesn't concern you ( privacy concerns), you can lookup that address and see if there's any unspent output(s). If there's none, then it's indeed Bitcoin Core's issue when it scanned for wallet-related transactions. e.g: blockstream.info ( check if it has any "CONFIRMED UNSPENT" outputs). |
|
|
|
|
It's also possible that the transaction that spent the funds wasn't mined and dropped from the mempools.
Better do a rescan to be sure.
Take note that you can't use the command above if your blockchain is pruned,
Go to your Bitcoin Core's 'Settings->Options...' and see if "Prune block storage to" checkbox is enabled.

I was wondering, who or what determines when new coins are mined, and how many?
Everything is in the software's code. There's no " who", just the miners who compete for the winning blocks. " when" is completely 'average', there's an ever-adjusting 'difficulty' that ensures that blocks can be mined in an average of 10minutes. Each block's reward is currently 6.25BTC ( +fees) which was 50BTC when Bitcoin was just released because it halves in every 210,000 blocks. Pretty much everything covered in this 'the Bitcoin Wiki' article: en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining |
