What is most secure and cheapest way to convert ETH to BTC
In practical terms, the most secure and cheapest and most convenient way to exchange ETH for BTC is through a well-known exchange that trades both of those coins. |

Just a guess: perhaps it doesn't recognize the address format.

Are you sure guys that halving will pump btc?
Look at ltc nothing has changed
You can't compare BTC and LTC with regards to halving. LOL. Why not? The reasons that people give for a rise in Bitcoin's price should also apply to Litecoin. |

No online wallet can provide you with that level of privacy because they must handle your transactions. Probably, the most private would be blockchain.com because they don't know the keys and you don't have to give them with identifying information.

I don't know if your question has been answered, but I'll summarize. Currently, the only known way to generate addresses with a specific criteria (such as 1crof..., or using only 22 of the 58 possible characters) is to repeatedly generate private keys until one is generated that has an address that meets your criteria. That is exactly what vanitygen does. From the docs: Vanitygen can search for exact prefixes or regular expression matches. When searching for exact prefixes, vanitygen will ensure that the
prefix is possible, will provide a difficulty estimate, and will run about 30% faster. Exact prefixes are case-sensitive by default, but may be searched case-insensitively using the "-i" option. Regular expression patterns follow the Perl-compatible regular expression language.

it doesn't really compromise any security if it is done correctly and by the right person. a lot of cases on different exchanges have been solved this way in the past. the problem is that it is a lot of work to recover these coins so exchanges rarely bother with it unless the amount is significant enough to justify the effort.
It's not dangerous if done correctly...
Having the ability to expose private keys (and to bypass the security that protects them) is dangerous. There is no "correct" way or "right person" that eliminates that danger. I think you are under-estimating how seriously a company like Coinbase protects its keys. Other exchanges may be more cavalier, but those are the ones that get hacked. |

Miners need to sell their btc to pay for their costs. They are a big supplier.
You are speculating. You don't really know if they are a big supplier or not. Also, if miners "are a big supplier", then you would expect the price to be falling all the time as they continue to sell new bitcoins every day. All past halvings affected the price a lot (as the graphic posts by tbct_mt2).
There is no correlation. There was a steep rise in price a few months after the first halving, but not after the second halving (unless you include the rise that followed more than a year later. Furthermore, there have been several steep increases that do not coincide with any halving. About LTC, you cannot compare any altcoin with bitcoin. Because altcoins are simple not bitcoin. They are used to by smart people to accumulate btc, and for that only.
Litecoin works just like Bitcoin. There would be no reason for an opposite behavior. Litecoiners say that the price falls because miners must sell extra litecoins to cover loses after the halving. |

1800 BTC per day is a lot. In 256 days we will have only 900 new btc per day, which is quite interesting and will certainly impact the price.
It is hard to price in a halving before it occurs, because it affects the supply of bitcoin on exchanges.
1000000 BTC are traded every day. A change of only 900 is not going to have any impact. The halving does not lower the supply. The supply is always increasing. It is interesting to note that while there is a common myth among Bitcoiners that a halving causes an increase in price, Litecoiners have a myth that says that a halving causes a decrease in price! |

... it's also asking me to deposit at least 0.02 BTC before being able to withdraw anything.
That is a scam. It is a very popular scam. The site may look legitimate, but it was only created a few days ago (8/31). |

Well all of them tried to claim to be satoshi nakamoto ...
That is false. Only 3 of them have claimed to be Satoshi. The others have never claimed to be Satoshi. I'm surprised at how many people here will believe anything that they read. |

The methods for generating keys are described in several BIPs, especially BIP-32 and BIP-44Address generation from mnemonic phrase is random. There is no guarantee that you'll end up creating the exact same address set as of Coinomi.
While the mnemonic phrase might be random, the addresses that are generated from it are always the same. |

Am I really the first person to point out that the OP is wrong? Most of those people have never claimed to be Satoshi and have publicly stated that they are not Satoshi.
Dorian Nakamoto has stated that he is not Satoshi.
Roger Ver has stated that he is not Satoshi.
Nick Szabo has stated that he is not Satoshi.
Paul Le Roux never claimed to be Satoshi, though there were many click-bait articles that said he might be.

A portion of Zcash's block reward goes to the "founders". A portion of Dash's block rewards go to people chosen by the master nodes.

Hello - earlier today I meant to send Bitcoin BTC to an address but accidentally sent BCH Bitcoin cash. I was unable to cancel it before it completed. Does anyone know if I am totally screwed or if there is anyway of contacting the place it went and seeing about getting it back? I did this thru coinbase. thank you
The owner of the receiving address can recover your BCH by exporting the address's private key from the BTC wallet and importing it into a BCH wallet. However, they may be unable (or unwilling) to export the private key. |

Check your email, whenever you login or have new transactions from your blockchain account they usually send out notifications.
The hacker can't get your private key because on blockchain's wallet they don't give out private keys anymore unless you've been using their wallet since the old version and your old addresses was imported.
Thank you, there was no email notification, and, right, they couldn't get my private keys, the true reason was blockchain.com security breach, which they never admit. Blockchain can't access your account, so it is unlikely that a security breach at Blockchain is the cause. |

I enter my address in the blockchain browser, and it gives me "there are 2 blockchains with result(s) to your search". What it means?
A Bitcoin address could be a valid address on other block chains because many of them use the same address scheme as Bitcoin. |

Perhaps, sharediff is off by a factor of 4. Also, hashes are 256-bit values and using 64 bit values might be causing an overflow somewhere.

My guess is that the leaked EXIF location data will point to a shop selling old laptops.  It's a Holiday Inn in Manchester, England. |

I'm amazed that nobody has quoted the following in this thread till now: Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone.
After my death, I lose my coins completely as I don't like to share my private key with anyone other than myself. So consider it as a donation to y'all! Thank you, but I'm surprised that you are more generous to me than to the people close to you. |

This chart demonstrates the reality that the creation cost represents the lowest feasible price that bitcoin can naturally go.
Or it demonstrates the reality that the price of a bitcoin represents the highest feasible creation cost. |
