Can you explain how is this trade connected to that one?
https://blockchain.info/tx/246a81132c472246a62c83e92bf3fdb39579df3a519c1f681fae18cead51dc52

They're both unconfirmed in the wallet for over a month.
You (your wallet) used the unconfirmed input for a new transaction. That unconfirmed input got double spend in another transaction, and that transaction got confirmed over a month ago.
The input you're still trying to use, doesn't exist anymore: it's used already! Your wallet should forget about this transaction, it's impossible to ever confirm.

You can prevent this from happening by never using an unconfirmed input from an external source as input for your own transactions.
23962  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: increasing transacation fee on: January 22, 2018, 02:37:02 PM
Hello! I sent payment but left default transaction fee and my payment hasn't been processed yet (its well over month now). I use Bitcoin Core 2 version v0.15.1 (64-bit). For some reason its impossible to increase the transaction fee. I don't know what to do now ;/ will the transaction be canceled over time and my btc returned? Can I cancel it somehow? Thank you!
You can remove this transaction (and all other unconfirmed transactions) from your wallet. Let me quote myself to safe typing:
You can manually remove the transactions from Bitcoin Core:
-Exit Bitcoin Core
-Backup your wallet.dat, even though you should have a backup already, make another backup
-Start Bitcoin Core from a command prompt with options -zapwallettxes -rescan (if you're using a pruned wallet, you can't use this)

Depending on your hardware, it will take a few hours to rescan. After this, your transactions should be gone, but Bitcoin Core might pick them up from mempool again. In that case just wait for it to drop again.

Full description of the commands:
Code:
  -zapwallettxes=<mode>
       Delete all wallet transactions and only recover those parts of the
       blockchain through -rescan on startup (1 = keep tx meta data e.g.
       account owner and payment request information, 2 = drop tx meta
       data)
Code:
  -rescan
       Rescan the block chain for missing wallet transactions on startup

Is there any chance this is an altcoin wallet? The highlighted address 12VNcW4eAgcozMWEXLfFm6QsRPwdnsdHCd has never been funded with Bitcoin.
I checked the usual supects (Doge and LTC), but they both don't show anything on that address either.

The ? in Bitcoin Core means "unconfirmed". I think your incoming transactions never happened on the Bitcoin blockchain.
23964  Other / Meta / Re: TRUST ABUSE BY NEW DT MEMBERS.. Theymos should review the trust system. on: January 22, 2018, 12:51:48 PM
The trust system isn't moderated, you're better off addressing this to Blazed (assuming you're talking about who I think you're talking about).
I'm pretty sure Blazed put The Pharmacist on DT2 because of the way he's fighting spam. He just gave his red trust a much stronger taste.
I see he added actmyname too, congratulations on the promotion! I see you're already collecing retaliation feedback too.

If I do not need to "master" English to post as a regular user then who going to decide which users have good English and not?
Your level of English seems okay in this topic.

Quote
Look at how many complaints he got up in recent day and don't tell me you could easily dismiss all of that cause
The Pharmacist got targeted the moment he turned DT2. People who never cared about his red trust, now suddenly have red trust on DT2. I've seen people who instantly stop posting their oneliners, and suddenly only open threads in Reputation. The moment their signature doesn't pay them anymore, they don't care about their oneliners anymore. And that proves The Pharmacist is right!

For your case, I can't speak for The Pharmacist, but I'm pretty sure posts like these are the reason he tagged you:
Get it and not putting a cent into those coins.
I hate how the fuel jump up when that crypto cat happen.
Damn, OP nailed it.
Put a bit in it but not too much.
You often take less than a minute to respond to a thread with 100+ posts. No matter what your level of English is, you're not contributing any value this way.
If you would have put half as much effort into all your posts as you do now in this thread, you wouldn't have been tagged.

No need for Theymos to review the trust system.
Some members should just pay attention to the guidlines carefully.

- Do not rate people based on the quality of their posts.
Good find! But, although his post is older than my account, I think it's safe to say spam wasn't such a big problem 4 years ago.
23965  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: LN : Question on scarcity of coins on: January 22, 2018, 11:30:46 AM
~ That 1 BTC will decrease over years, but at the same time not really accessible to anyone else. So in a way, Tom is still hoarding that coin, because it is not for sale on exchanges.
How is this different than coins in my wallet? I and only I decide when I spend them, so of course they're not accessible to anyone else.

Quote
If enough people buy coins to fund these "private" channels, then it will eventually decrease the overall supply of coins in the market, right? <If these channels are not frequently used by other people>
Supply and demand will always be in equilibrium, if there's less supply, the price goes up. If the price goes up high enough, more people will be willing to sell.

Quote
If this is true, the price of bitcoins will go through the roof, because there will be less coins available and hopefully a increase in the demand. <People looking to buy coins, to reduce the tx fees for their micro payments>
I expect the price to go up when LN becomes a common way to pay with Bitcoin. The reason I expect this is increased adoption. Increased scarcity will be the result of increased adoption.

Quote
This Lightning Network is going to be the cherry on the cake for this experimental technology. We just reached 100 nodes and 225 channels today!
I kinda want to set up a node, and donate 10 Satoshi to everybody who connects to it.

1. If Tom only opens that channel between himself and the coffeeshop, presumably, the coffeeshop will want him to close the channel every week or every month, wouldn't they? Because only when the channel is closed can the final version of txs be broadcast to the blockchain, and only then can the coffeeshop "realise" the coins in their wallet. I don't see many small businesses willing to open channels with each customer - so it might not work very well in that direction (of the customer opening the channel).
It's still a bit of a mystery to me how this will work in all details. I can imagine the coffeeshop spending the coins again on another channel, keeping some balance and acting as a hub. Alternatively, the coffee shop can have it's customers connect through a hub. And if that hub is part of an exchange, the coffee shop can sell their revenue instantly.

I've seen several DT-members who start tagging spammers.
I'm doing this, and I'm trying to target the worst of the worst.
I saw your promotion, and I've been following the Reputation section a bit. Suddenly hundreds of accounts have red trust, and all of a sudden they start caring about the trust-rating you left them months ago. Since your promotion you've collected a shitload of retaliation feedback Cheesy

Quote
There are so many borderline shitposters, though, that I don't feel 100% comfortable tagging.
DT2 has the power to instantly destroy an account, and I've seen others tag accounts for much less.

Another thought: how about disabling signatures for anyone with enough red trust on DT2?
23967  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] ChipMixer - mixing reinvented on: January 22, 2018, 09:48:52 AM
You cannot even trust Google on this, as when you look up ChipMixer on their search engine, one of the sponsored results is a scam website that is not owned or related to the official ChipMixer website. It is simply another clone page.
Google now shows advertising for .co and .pro, both fake of course. I am very disappointed Google allows scamsites to keep advertising, despite being reported to them!
23968  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How to check balance on a bunch of wallet.dat files? on: January 22, 2018, 07:00:21 AM
Bitcoin Core supports multiple wallets:

The release notes for 0.15 seem to explain it: https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.15.0.1#multi-wallet-support
2nd paragraph explains how to use multiple wallets:
Quote
Multi-wallet is enabled by using more than one -wallet argument when starting Bitcoin, either on the command line or in the Bitcoin config file.

This way, you can rescan them all at once, which saves time.
As an alternative, you can just make a script/batch-file with "bitcoin -wallet=wallet1.dat" and the whole list. Start them all sequentially, and close them if they're empty after a rescan.

And make sure that the Jumio database is never hacked. Because once it's hacked you are ...cked.
As far as I know, Jumio shouldn't keep records, right? Jumio only verifies the identity (once!), then it's hash is stored in the DAG, and Jumio doesn't need your paperwork anymore. Jumio witnesses the hash is correct.
Im not sure if I am right here, but this would make perfect sense to me.

Let's say somebody attests via a smartphone and looses it? Then what? Some stranger can use the attested identity on the phone indefinitely for whatever purpose? This is dangerous.
Setting a strong password prevents this.
23972  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Big periods of inactivity while syncing the blockchain on: January 21, 2018, 05:54:56 PM
I will try to monitor later the CPU cycles and see if they go during these gaps, probably could be that it's processing the blocks and can't download and process at the same time??
I've noticed the same: it downloads in batches, then processes them.
23973  Other / Meta / Re: Can this help in reducing spam? on: January 21, 2018, 05:33:40 PM
My 2 cents Satoshis:
1. Spam protection shouldn't be optional. If you want to stop spam in your thread, make it self-moderated. Anything else should be applied globally.
2. Not only Newbies spam, spam happens on higher ranks too. All Newbies who get through without being banned eventually get a higher rank.
3. The "spam score" shouldn't be a fixed value, it should be a percentage of the posts a user makes. But even then, it can be abused. Suppose I don't like you: I'm Legendary, so I only need to report 5 of your 113 posts as Spam to get you banned for a week!

I appreciate you trying, but most ideas have downsides too.

This will help people to differentiate between a serious and a BS topic.
Ideally, this shouldn't be necessary. All topics should be serious topics.

My new personal favourite: report more posts than you make! In the past week I got about 800 accounts banned, on top of my "normal" reports.

Or maybe give this option only to moderators or DT members?
Moderators already have a ban-button to deal with spammers, and recently I've seen several DT-members who start tagging spammers. If that happens enough, spammers may fear for their accounts and spam less!
23974  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Lost Bitcoins in Bitcoin Core wallet - what now? on: January 21, 2018, 05:04:31 PM
More importantly I shuffled the coins around 2 different addresses within the wallet prior to sending them out.
That doesn't matter.

Quote
I can understand that deleting the wallet.dat file was a mistake but once the coins are sent into the network IMO in a good technology scenario they should always reach the destination just like a bank transfer otherwise it isn't practical in real time value and the whole bitcoin thing is just a bubble waiting to burst.
Bitcoin relies on confirmations. Until they're confirmed, it's not sure they arrive at their destination. Bitcoin isn't like your bank, you're your own bank. What you did, is burn down your bank before your funds are secure.

Quote
Technically I put my coins in a black hole by deleting the wallet, even though I sent them out before doing so.
Until the coins are confirmed on the address you sent them to, they're still on your old address. Many Bitcoins have been lost by losing private keys.

Quote
I have the original mempool.dat file. Would I be able to find anything related to the transactions in this?
Maybe. It may contain your own unconfirmed transaction, but I can't tell you how to read it from there. I wouldn't delete it for now, and don't use it without making a copy first.

Quote
I have the destination address but from what I can see this isn't of much use as blockchain.info doesn't show anything.
Blockchain.info doesn't show all transactions with low fees, you can try some other block explorers too.

But when you set up your wallet, didn't you have to copy a pass phrase on paper ?
This is not how Bitcoin Core works.
23975  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Transaction Questions on: January 21, 2018, 12:22:55 PM
It seems like you used RBF a day after the transaction, and that transaction got confirmed.

5980569c459ed24eaa5fde4f72b41f5fbe6f68c2cdade8fb5d92234393e3235a won't ever confirm: the inputs have been spent already. They were spent in d24bd37976b290a0588b04e99810368bd1775c3f8e66d05441e26a7a6c4e4887, which sends the same amount of 0.005535 BTC to 1CpZAH8y9fcXjexc1ecFhjn5i9XEviK5td. I assume 1CpZAH8y9fcXjexc1ecFhjn5i9XEviK5td was the address you had to pay to, and the seller has spent the funds already.

Quote
I reloaded my electrum wallet and imported my wallet from my seed recently and I don't even see the transaction in my wallet.
That makes sense: the transaction can't confirm and should be dropped from mempool.
If 1CpZAH8y9fcXjexc1ecFhjn5i9XEviK5td is the seller's address, he has been paid.

It seems that both of my posts have been removed.  I am sorry that I an unfamiliar with your specific etiquette here but by doing that instead of explaining the mistake you come off as hostile. 

I see you have no interest in helping noobs. 
You still have 3 posts left.
Removing insubstantial posts is a way to keep the forum clean, and it's badly needed. If you put some effort in using this forum, read the rules and follow them, you'll do just fine.
I've had posts removed too, take it as a warning and learn from it.

23977  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Wallet and platform for 100 low value currencies ?! on: January 21, 2018, 11:47:51 AM
Android wallet Coinomi supports many coins. But, it's closed source, and keeping all your coins in a hot wallet for long term is bad practice.

For secure storage, you shouldn't rely on just one wallet that covers all, you should research all coins individually, and choose the best wallet for each coin. I prefer to keep each wallet in it's own VM.
Research, installation, backup and funding is quite a lot of work per coin. But, it also prevents you from just buying 100 random coins without having any idea what you're getting into.
You could make it a goal to buy 2 coins per week. That also means you'll have to research more than that, as you shouldn't just buy any random coin. This way, you'll buy 100 coins over the course of this year. If you're seriously going to do this, I would be very interested if you keep track of all your coins in a (self moderated) topic on this forum.
23978  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Increasing Supply Limit. on: January 21, 2018, 11:41:50 AM
What processes or steps in order for the creator to increase its Supply Limit?
The maximum number of Bitcoins ever to be created is more or less an arbitrary choice. That choice has been made before the first block was mined, and it will never be changed.

I did not partition it.
Although you can create a filesystem without a partition, it's not recommended.

Yes, I bought it used...
You should start by testing the SD card it self. Write 100 GB, and see if you can read it back.

A simple test:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
mkdir ~/disktestbyLoyce
cd ~/disktestbyLoyce
wget http://ipv4.download.thinkbroadband.com/1GB.zip
i=1; while test $i -le 100
do   cp 1GB.zip 1GB.zip$i
     i=$((i+1))
done
md5sum 1GB.zip*
rm 1GB.zip*
cd; rmdir ~/disktestbyLoyce
If your SD card is okay, it will show the same checksum 101 times without errors.
