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=665&c=HJnim5loO9XAcQ) 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.

nc50lc Whether I'll enable it depends on how much is the maximum amount of fees I'd be saving for a bit less privacy?
Pretty much yes. But in most cases, it wont even save you fees. Since it's generally an " RBF transaction", the replacement ( combined transaction) requires an additional fee equivalent to the fee of the to-be-replaced transaction(s), it also needs to pay for its own fee. Example ( testnet - SegWit): - 1st transaction (rbf: true)
Size: 144 vBytes | fee: 144 satoshi (@1sat/vB)
![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F0NSVgCI.png&t=665&c=mKrzG39kaBdSDQ) - Combined transaction (if you send while the setting is enabled and the 1st txn is still unconfirmed)
Size: 178 vBytes | fee: 322 satoshi = 178 satoshi (@1sat/vB) + 144 satoshi equal to the absolute fee of the replaced transaction
![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F4BDELYR.png&t=665&c=C39JCdqVuPxrxw) - Based form the example, it's actually a bit cheaper if the two transactions are sent separately: each will pay 144 satoshi @1sat/vB.
This setting is good for the network though since the overall transaction size is lower than two separate transactions. Means that you can help the network to save some block space.

For Windows: timeout <number of seconds> && bitcoind sendtoaddress <bitcoinaddress> <amount>
It will work as long as the command prompt is still open until the timeout runs out. Also, the command should be using bitcoin-cli since bitcoind doesn't support wallet RPC commands.

But from what I know, SHA-1 is a one way hash right? It isnt possible to decrypt it without maybe brute forcing? Because thats what the hash is meant to be - irreversible? -snip- Unless I'm missing something here...
Yes, you're correct, there's no way to reverse it aside from bruteforce. But there's only about 600million song titles out there, just make a database of all the songs titles, create a simple code to perform SHA1 to each of the titles ( and probably variations of them) and a typical computer can bruteforce it within a few minutes/hours. Then you can get 1 merit ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

already enabled ”Use Replace-By-Fee” And Below that option there is ”Batch RBF transactions” So im unsure if I should tick that one as well. -snip-
If unsure, just keep the default settings as it's set to maximize privacy while keeping the best features enabled; With that " Batch RBF transactions" is disabled by default.

You don't have to delete your post once it got answered, users in the web who are looking for support may be able to use it for reference. 1st question the description for RBF transactions is pretty vague so I'm unsure if I should enable that setting or leave it disabled?
It's to flag your transactions as " replaceable" but only until it's mined, useful in cases where you need to increase the fee by replacing it with a higher fee transaction or if you've sent it to the wrong address. If it's enabled, " increase fee" and " cancel transaction" right-click options in the history tab will be available for txns created after it's enabled. The downsides that I can think of are: some services that doesn't support RBF may not credit your deposits if you've used RBF to increase the fee; and some exchange/casino with zero-confirmation deposits wont grant that feature to transactions with RBF flag. 2nd question is should I disable "output value rounding" as it says at most 100 satoshis might be lost due to this per transaction but I don't know how much USD loss that would potentially be? One satoshi is equal to 0.00000001 BTC; so " at most" 100sat is currently about 4 cents ( USD).

BitcoindError: bitcoind not found
Is Bitcoin Core installed in a non-standard directory? If so, you should specify where it is installed in " File->Settings...->Bitcoin Install Dir" and make sure the checkbox above it is ticked. 2022-03-19 10:56:55 (INFO) -- ArmoryUtils.pyc:1303 - Available HDD (ARM) : 2 GB
You may have to move armory's dbdir as well because the database will use more than that available disk space. Refer to the " pathing" link above for the guide on how to set the dbdir. I'd recommend the config files because the setting in the GUI is quite buggy when setting Armory's dbdir.
