So far I have taken the wallet file and securely dumped it to a text file, but there are hundreds of private keys, possibly even thousands, and I'm not sure which ones have funds in them. Is there a quick way to see which addresses the wallet has used and save some time from importing thousands of private keys into electrum? I know the value of the wallet as a whole so I can be sure when I am done, but I don't see anything online about how to do this. There's an easy (GUI) way to see which addresses have balance: 1. In Bitcoin Core, click Settings > Options > Wallet > Enable coin control features > Ok. 2. Click Send > Inputs. This shows you a list of all funded addresses in your wallet. You can also do it in the console: Click Help > Debug window. Enter listunspent. This gives you a list in Console. |

my major question is - how do managers usually get paid, is it BTC only or payments in our coin would be considered as well? Is it usually a fixed amount based on the total budget, or weekly payments, etc. I prefer payment in Bitcoin. On top of that, for a bounty campaign it would be nice if - say - 2% of the bounty token budget is for the campaign manager, just in case it turns out to be valuable. The total cost depends on the amount of work required, which will (among others) depend on the number of participants. I prefer weekly payments. If you're interested in my services, have a look at my thread: LoyceV Legendary Campaign Manager | PORTFOLIOI've teamed up with Thekool1s in [BitStopShop]Graphic Design,Video Animation, Management Services to be able to offer a more complete package. Two things though: 1. We only work on projects that we personally believe in (most ICOs are just money grabbers and won't qualify). 2. I hate spam, so the campaign rules should be strict, and not pay for spamming on this forum. |

Not sure how much people may get trapped and have sent bitcoin to this site BitMixer clones have been around for a long time, copying the design and stealing funds. They only keep doing this, because people keep falling for it. It's simply profitable for the scammers, and they're very creative. Yesterday I found this one:  For a few minutes, I thought BitMixer continued their business, and was looking for the "we are closed"-sign on the site. I consider myself to be an experienced user who doesn't easily fall for phishing sites, I checked the URL, and it took me a while to notice this:  It's just 1 pixel on my location bar! So, if they continue this, we can expect chipmìxer.com, chipmíxer.com, chípmixer.com, chìpmixer.com and a couple more combinations in the future. If you add î and ï it becomes a bit more obvious, but it's still a few pixels at most, and this gives much more possibilities. Add chiþmixer.com and a few more combinations, and the number of posibilities is practically endless. There are too many possible combinations to just register them all to prevent this from happening. Thanks to adding weird characters in domain names! |

Prefix: 1Tragic
I am not at all fussy on case if that matters. I let it run for a while while I was gone, it found 3 addresses to choose from. You can use all of them, but if one of them would get compromised, they all are: Address: 1 TrAgiCEEdUMr7iRJMrhoEwwGfpUKkMYn (Balance:  ) PrivkeyPart: 5K4eroQExuvKvk9WchAHEauhnFEZRaAZ5Q7eo7S4Sije7JHCwu8 Address: 1 tRAgicGrvYaYA5MYZVR4RpGyaCcrnDU6 (Balance:  ) PrivkeyPart: 5KEJapU6LMoYKhb1nAjVWiigC1HSLs1s3NtumVRpicFXR6qqA1W Address: 1 tRAGicDwPW1Wfoj9GequasE9ikn1b1oJ (Balance:  ) PrivkeyPart: 5JPQJrcf9jsFAxhrXorJtwHbyDmSbtQhoDW3861KJCes6EsQm3D It doesn't look too good though, case insensitive. I can make you a case sensitive 1Tragic for $6 (and a few days crunching time). Since the Bitcoin fees are higher than $6 now, something like 1500 Doge will work too. Let me know if you're interested. |

I received a PM asking about my Bittrex-status: Bittrex has lowered thousands of withdrawal limits to 0BTC, including my account. Many people on Bitcointalk complain about this. I still have 8 months to see how this develops, and still have high hopes of regaining full access, but Bittrex' behaviour is worrying. I've sent Bittrex an ID-scan and an angry looking selfie (I hate them for that requirement!), and my account is verified again. These tricks moved them down on my trust-list though. That kinda makes me want to withdraw all altcoins into my own wallets, but it will take a few percent on fees, and it will be a lot of work setting up the right wallets. Any thoughs on this? I think I'll leave it for now, but if there is going to be a next version of this experiment, I want to set this part up different from the start. |

I hvae an old wallet that I found the private key for. Yes, you can laugh. It was one of those: I'll put it somewhere safe. And forgot where that was.  It has a lot of dust with which I would've dealt earlier when fees were lower, but need to sweep it now. Needless to say, the fees are UGLY now (like $2,000 fee on $3,000 worth). It's an old wallet, so you should be in no rush to get to it now. My advice: just wait! Check the recommended fees once in a while, and once it says 40 satoshi/byte is enough, you can make your transaction. You'll can probably do it on a quiet Sunday, although not all Sundays guarantee low fees. |

Let me do the entire process on a new computer that is not connected with internet and later let me format the computer... Is it good to do that? This seems okay, but for the true paranoid (like me!) I wouldn't be satisfied with a quick format that can be unformatted. I'd want to zero the hard disk. But is it really possible to sign a message without internet?
Yes. All you need to sign a message is the private key. |

Warning: There is a copycat website that brought google ads.
I've reported them to https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/ , I think Google only takes action if enough people report the phishing page. My Comments: "This site advertises on Google. The design is copied from chipmixer.com and they no doubt will steal people's Bitcoins. Please ban their advertising!" I don't want to type the fake site's name, so here's a screenshot:  |

three things! Just for my own knowledge, can you tell me what the rescan actually does. 2. can you recommened a wallet for myself that doesnt require me to have this 150gb download on my laptop (only have 256gb) 3. can u send me your bitcoin address 1. HCP answered this already. 2. Electrum is in general the most recommended desktop wallet if you don't want to download the full blockchain. 3. I'm not sure if you're talking to me, as "tokexchain" got in between the quote, but if you are: my addy is in my profile (click my name). |

I also wonder what fee I shoud write in the wallet? What is a viable fee to suggest? 0,01 or something like that?
Just use the default fee in Coinomi and you'll be fine. Bitcoin Cash and Gold don't need high fees anyway. |

Lastly, our own cashback program now supports textcoins: merchants don't have to update their order forms to ask users about their Byteball address, instead they can give us the user's email address and we send a textcoin. Updated API description: https://github.com/byteball/byteball/wiki/Cashback-APIThis is a very nice update for the cashback program! I love how you don't make any promises, but out of the blue create very good updates. |

Chipmixer down? Currently getting 504 error. "504 Gateway Time-out". Did you try the Tor-version? I don't have a Tor-browser installed on this PC, but usually Tor works when the clearnet version gets DDossed. Should we be worried or? I don't think so. It's most likely sad competitors (or governments?) doing a DDOS for their own reasons. It's cheap to attack, expensive to fight off, and as ChipMixer explained before, DDOS-protection like Cloudflare is no solution, because that would give Cloudflare access to all your data (including private keys). So best to do, just wait it out, or switch to Tor. |

I will think Bitcoin to be the same as gold chain, it has a value in fiat but not yet converted to fiat. Hence I feel there is no need to declare.
I'm pretty sure customs would disagree with your reasoning. It can easily be used to buy illegal weapons or fund terrorism. Of course, you could just as well reset the hardware wallet and just remember the recovery words. You can do that without hardware wallet too, 12 words in your mind is enough to carry millions of dollars now. If I was planning on accessing some while there I'd put a seed in a dark corner of an SD card somewhere and restore a phone wallet.
There's another reason why I wouldn't bring a hardware wallet: it shows you own enough funds to buy a hardware wallet, so you're a good target to get robbed (I don't have one, don't rob me  ). A good old "your money or your life", and you'll most likely hand over your PIN. As far as I know this rule only applies if you carry cash in such amount or more then you have the obligation to declare, not credit cards or any other goods. Credit cards are okay, because authorities can trace them. Bitcoin is a lot more like cash, it can't be traced, so customs will be very interested. Though i haven't used any of the hardware wallets before, one stand the risk of losing their bitcoins once it gets missing. That's why you have a recovery seed phrase. |

Your story seems familiar, did you post it before? I suggest you make first a backup of your wallet.dat (actually, I hope you already did this before upgrading). Then, start Bitcoin Core again with this commandline option: -rescan
Rescan the block chain for missing wallet transactions on startup your wallet holds the private keys to addresses with balance, they should for sure show up after this. |

if I change out hard disk drive from my dying computer will that carry my wallets With Coins in then to the ebay computer? Yes. All your data is stored on your hard disk. Unless of course your hard disk itself is dying, in that case it's gone.[/quote] Do I need to ground my body to computer before removing hard disk drive? Officially: yes. In practice: it's most likely okay not to. I tried a thumb drve or memory stick. not sure what it is called. But it tore all wallets to pieces. tried to burn them to dvd or cd disk. put disk in a laptop I had some wallets but not all of them and no coins in them. I could not see the the coins anyway. wallets also needed to re sync. If you have millions of (alt)coins, you need to back them up wallet for wallet. It sounds like you got into something when it was cheap, without fully understanding what you're doing. Let's start from the beginning: which wallets did you install? Don't put your wallets in a $200. computer! A $5000 computer can also break down. What you need, is backups. |

I think this is what you're looking for (edit to your needs): The other file is a batch file to import the private keys, and gives you an option to run it after generating, the file looks like this: "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind.exe" importprivkey L4mP3joYEhSv1ofdsWbz8xEmqCmYK9vGyi8mJmWWbh79Xx2NsS1M addr-1DfyaDvr-1 false
"C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind.exe" importprivkey Ky2EGjWLhfKv1sWnPcuN4SHF2iALj6SfK7hoLWKx5T4zMqXg7aT9 addr-1DfyaDvr-2 false
"C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind.exe" importprivkey KzrZ4DULdVWFqpF48pdJicFJfX5dqrhxBkqDnT4HRkCswdFy3Eo4 addr-1DfyaDvr-3 false
"C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind.exe" importprivkey L2ELWXewr1PQnMwFDpfobHFqspyM6g1noM4uzkCMgoSZTSf3sQJF addr-1DfyaDvr-4 false The "false" prevents a full rescan after every import, you'll need to rescan after the last import, so leave the last "false" out. |

If I have to guess: did you receive many small transactions in the past? If their system is smart, they exclude the inputs that are smaller than the fee they require.
Try Customize Fee, does it allow you to send more when you do that?
