Have you tried installing the latest version of electrum, and creating a wallet using your old seed yet? The github release notes suggest the latest wallets might support old-type seed phrases. https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES# Release 2.6.1 (bugfixes)
* fix broadcast command (bug #1688)
* fix tx dialog (bug #1690)
* kivy: support old-type seed phrases in wizard |

ETH on the rise again  And it's overtaken Bitcoin's volume for the very first time. That's quite something. Bitcoin needs infomercials and endless waves of incomprehensible ICOs NOW. All ETH needs to square that circle is Dan Bilzerian to buy in at the absolute top. Another unexpected twist is that the Kraken's BTC/EUR volume has overtaken bitfinex's BTC/USD volume.  |

Or you have to manually or otherwise extract the private keys from your MultiBit HD wallet/seed... Automated (but technical) method requiring use of python scripts: https://github.com/HardCorePawn/multibit_recoveryManual method: - Create offline version of https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/- Put in your MultiBit HD seed - Set Derivation Path -> BIP32 - Set Client = "MultiBit HD" - Copy all the address/private keys (click show more until you are sure you have more than all the addresses you ever used) - Set Client = "Custom" -> Set Derivation Path = m/0'/1 - Copy all the change addresses/private keys (click show more until you are sure you have more than all the addresses you ever used) Once you have all your private keys: - In Electrum -> New/Restore -> Standard Wallet -> Create a new seed - Once wallet is created, "Wallet -> Private Keys -> Sweep" - Paste in all the private keys you got from automated or manual method You should now have all your coins in an Electrum HD Wallet. I made these screenshots of the iancoleman web page using the settings detailed by HCP. It's quite technical to use, so they might help.  If an address has had some, but not all of its Bitcoins sent out from multibit then the change gets sent to the list of addresses below. The screenshot shows the settings I used to recover those addresses.  |

I've had an unconfirmed transaction for over two weeks.
I noticed there was a period where it was dropped from blockchain.info but still showed unconfirmed in my electrum wallet. Then a couple of days later it seemed to have been rebroadcast somehow.
Some questions
- Does electrum rebroadcast everytime I open my wallet?
- Can I do a double spend to a new output with a higher fee. (I've made other arrangements for payment since the original payment is still stuck). Anyone have a good tutorial how to do this?
- viaBTC is not really a solution in my case. I just want the original transaction to be dropped.
Electrum shouldn't be rebroadcasting your transaction but the nodes may be rebroadcasting it for some time I think. Yes, you should be able to double spend with a higher fee. It the transaction isn't showing in Electrum, this is an easy enough process. It could also be done if you enabled replace by fee. Otherwise, it can be more difficult. Sometimes restoring the wallet from the seed will allow you to respend the inputs. Eventually the transaction should drop out of the mempool and I would think that it should be pretty soon if its already been 2 weeks. That's what I'd normally expect, but there are people complaining on reddit that transactions they made three weeks ago keep getting re-broadcasted. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6cx8dl/bitpay_unconfirmed_transaction_for_weeks_keeps/di5qp8z/Negative, almost three weeks now, it just got rebroadcasted about 8 hours ago.
This is pretty retarded |

You could install electrum, and import all your relevant private keys using these instructions. http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#can-i-import-private-keys-from-other-bitcoin-clientsAfterwards you could try contacting either quickseller or macbook-air, explaining the situation, and asking them if they will confirm a low fee rate transaction if you send one. They can get f2pool to confirm a transaction. If they agree you could pay them, send all your coins in one low fee rate transaction from electrum to your HD wallet address, then send them the transaction ID to confirm You can contact them by clicking these links. However, they must be snowed under with requests to confirm transactions, so might not reply. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=358020https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=16114They charged 0.0001 BTC per transaction last year, but probably want a lot more now. I faced a similar issue a few days back transaction not getting confirmed due to low fee but user "QuickSeller" got my transaction confirmed in minutes when I sent him 0.0001 BTC. He has access to some pool . PM him.

By default Bitcoin core names a wallet file as wallet.dat. If you remove the extension you are left with wallet. Install a hard drive searcher like Locate32 and search your hard drive for the word wallet, or whatever you named your wallet file as. If you can't remember your wallet file's name try HCP's suggestion in the post above. |

Btc.com currently only accepts alipay payments, which are only available to the Chinese. It intends to make overseas payment methods available in the future, but has none available today. |

It's not relaxing xD
If you want relaxing I think you arrived at least two decades too early. It's going to carry on flicking your earlobe until you go batty. It depends on your attitude to Bitcoin. JimboToronto finds it relaxing, he just keeps buying the dips and hodling. Some of us go for days without sleep watching the charts, or set alarms to wake us up for big price movements. At the same time JimboToronto misses out a few whole days of even checking the price. Good morning Bitcoinland. Missed a couple of days but we seem to be consolidating to a nice point... currently $2250USD (Bitcoinaverage). I missed the bottom but I did manage to buy a bit more under $2000. Hopefully the correction is over and we can continue with the uptrend. At least we finished the week in the green.  |

I used the viabtc transaction accelerator to accelerate it. https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/The viabtc mining pool will now confirm your transaction in the next block it mines. Normally it mines a few blocks a day at random times. Viabtc should confirm it within a day if no other pool does. editViabtc confirmed it in 468777. |

dead cat bounce or genuine uptrend continuation?
It's impossible to say as of today. About a week after a big dump we often get an indication of which way the price will go. However, sometimes it simply goes sideways for months leaving everyone guessing. A number of exchanges are overwhelmed with new users creating new accounts, so there's new money flowing into Bitcoin. Maybe that will continue the uptrend. |

i ll add it viabtc accelerator but wht you mean by "then submit your transction to it" The viabtc accelerator won't accept your transaction until it's already successfully accepted its unconfirmed input transaction. Until its successfully accepted the unconfirmed input it will tell you that your transaction doesn't exist. |

According to this quote Cavirtex implemented an inactive account fee. If you do get anything back it will probably have had that fee deducted from it for each month of inactivity. Warning: Today I noticed that CAVIRTEX has slyly implemented an inactive account fee.
Their TOS states that you will charged $50CAD per month if your account has not had any trades for a year. This charge will be made in BTC until your account becomes empty. I received no email notification about this, even though I have notification emails enabled (the default setting).
To add insult to injury, the inactivity fee listed in my account transactions is -4BTC. It was made on October 30th, and from a quick check of historical charts it looks like the trading rate was about $210 that day. At that rate they have charged me a fee of roughly $840 for my inactive account. I have already opened a support ticket and I am crossing my fingers that it is a mistake.
*snip*
This user had to provide KYC documents when he registered with Cavirtex, including a color copy of his government issued ID. Did you have to provide the same KYC documents? If you did just send the Kraken the latest versions of those same documents. *snip* I registered with Cavirtex a while back, and as requested, I sent all the necessary documents to complete their verification requirements. I signed their contract, the terms and conditions document. (That forces you into arbitration and releases them from everything, of course). I sent them a color copy of my government issued ID, front and back. I was then notified via my account (verification status, screenshot attached) that it has been verified. This:  , and then this:  You would think this mean your account have been fully verified. Apparently not. *snip* |

Thank you HI-TEC99 for doing that for me, very kind. Thanks to everyone for your input on this thread. My wallet now shows the confirmed transaction with a green tick  I have another question, in my wallet I have to amounts; + 1515.439 + 0.5 How many Bitcoins is that? I assume 0.5 is half a coin. But what is 1515.439, is that 1.51 coins? This would make sense because it's about what I expected (2 coins total) but I want to learn how the decimal placements work, it makes no sense to have 4 digits before the decimal in the first amount? It's because electrum displays balances in milli-Bitcoins by default. Use the instructions in the quote to both enable dynamic fees, and make electrum display balances in Bitcoins (BTC). If you enable dynamic fees electrum will automatically calculate the best fees to pay. For future transactions try these instructions, they are for the latest version of electrum. Older versions have a different layout for the settings windows. Click tools in your menu bar, then preferences in the drop down menu that appears.  Click the fees tab in the window that opens and copy the settings from this screenshot. Click the close button to close the preferences window  When you send coins move the fee slider shown in this screenshot all the way to the right for fast confirmations.  |

Devs have nothing to do with these kind of things, you guys are clueless, you don't know what you are talking about, 120sat/B is not enough and you should use 240sat/B when it comes to blockchain.info.
Did you think they own the network to change anything at will?
there shuld be option to setup fee by byte cost current system is unaceptable to me. I choose fee and i agable how much I will pay per byte. I can see how much it will be only when i hit send button and see that on blockchain. WHere can i setup byte price manually ? Electrum +1 The transaction's confirmed now. https://blockchain.info/tx/d1948980d9b968de591c9b2ade202cddc89357430f7ae18c6175e70b0a5a0c24To prevent the same problem recurring in the future install the electrum wallet and use the instructions in this quote to configure it to pay dynamic fees. First upgrade to the latest version of electrum, then use the instructions in this quote to set dynamic fees on your wallet. Afterwards your wallet will automatically work out the best fee to pay by itself, and adapt its fees to account for increases or decreases in the number of unconfirmed transactions in the network. For future transactions try these instructions, they are for the latest version of electrum. Older versions have a different layout for the settings windows. Click tools in your menu bar, then preferences in the drop down menu that appears. Click the fees tab in the window that opens and copy the settings from this screenshot. Click the close button to close the preferences window When you send coins move the fee slider shown in this screenshot all the way to the right for fast confirmations. |

Thanks guys. Do you know how much roughly I would need to pay for a "Child Pays For Parent" transaction? If it's £5 or £10 I might do that because I'm tired of all this messing around with Bitcoin unfortunately.
There's no need to pay for a "Child Pays For Parent" now. I successfully submitted the transaction in the quote to the viabtc accelerator. It will confirm when viabtc mines its next block if no other pool confirms it before then.
HCP, I checked the ID and it is different?!
So strange, I even asked the company that I bought the Bitcoins from to tell me the ID which was the one I posted earlier. Anyway, I right clicked and "details" shows the ID as: 18da4880116c8f13a834f452a97f85d3fc5b4ab78ac22d7a917ad4d3ef9af970
Note: I see that the transaction on blockchain.info is for more than $7,000 but I only transferred 1.5 Bitcoins?
There's a list of viabtc's most recent blocks and the times they were mined at here. It gives an overview of how long you might have to wait. https://blockchain.info/blocks/ViaBTCeditIt's now been confirmed by ViaBTC, it has 9 confirmations |

You could try using Pywallet to scan the hard drive for the raw bytes containing deleted private keys, but you would need to using your hard drive immediately to use it. If you overwrote your private keys then Pywallet won't work, but if you only deleted them they might still be on the hard drive. If you password protected your wallet, then Pywallet won't work unless you can recover your whole wallet file intact. It can only scan a hard drive for private keys if the wallet wasn't password protected. It also requires some technical skill to use. This is its thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34028.0 |
