2461  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Decode a signed transaction to find the private key? on: May 05, 2022, 03:51:12 PM
If I sign a transaction with Electrum and send the raw text to someone, can he decode it to find my private key?
No. Your raw transaction doesn't include your private key. Instead, it includes a digital signature which can be used only for that transaction and becomes invalid if transaction data is changed.
By the way, why doesn't your friend let you broadcast the transaction yourself?
2462  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Can anyone help get this transaction confirmation? on: May 05, 2022, 03:16:31 PM
I knew the basics, and at a first look it does look correct.
I knew you know that.
I made that post for OP or anyone else who want to do such a calculation.


Still, I am not convinced that everybody knows where to look for those "numbers" (and I'm not talking about you or me).
You are right. For a newbie, it may be difficult to know what are fee rate and transaction size.


What site is this?
The screesnshot posted by Peanutswar has been taken from mempool.space.
It's a block explorer and can be used for tracking transactions.

You didn't tell us whether you have control over any of receiving addresses or not.
If so, as suggested by NeuroticFish, you can use CPFP method.
2463  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: stuck 24 hours. on: May 05, 2022, 02:52:49 PM
As stated by mocacinno, if you have control over any of receiving addresses, you can use CPFP method.
This means that you should spent the fund received in the unconfirmed transaction with a high fee, so a miner include both transactions (the unconfirmed one and the one you make to do CPFP) in a single block.

In both transactions, 1F8eovMT....... is the change address.
If you own this address, note that it includes 36 UTXOs. So, you should pay attention that not every transaction made from this address with a high fee will help you.
If you want to do CPFP, you should spend the UTXO that has been received in the unconfirmed transaction. To do so, you need a wallet with coin control feature.
2464  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Can anyone help get this transaction confirmation? on: May 05, 2022, 01:39:29 PM
Unfortunately I don't know of a tool that calculates it well how much you should pay for that new tx.
It's not difficult to do the calculation.

SA = Size of the unconfirmed transaction
SB = Size of the new transaction (the transaction you will make for doing CPFP)

fA = The fee rate used for the unconfirmed transaction.
fB = The fee rate you should use for the new transaction.
f = the fee rate required for a fast confirmation.

fB = (f*(SA+SB) - SA*fA) / SB

Due to privacy reasons, bitcoin core allows you to have multiple addresses.
If you see 4 funded addresses when using listaddressgroupings command, it means that you have sent bitcoin to 4 different addresses.  


In my mind I expect that if I send all my coins to an address they would arrive there I didn;t ask to have them spread across different addresses.
Bitcoin core doesn't make any transaction automatically.
My guess is that you copied the address from bitcoin core every time you wanted to send bitcoin and didn't notice that it's a new address.


Can the private key that I dumped from the original address be used to recover %100 of the coins or only the ones located on that address.
No. You need a new private key for each of new addresses.
Note that the wallet.dat file contains all your private keys. If you have stored that file somewhere securely, you don't need to keep individual private keys.


Ive been using the full node  monero wallet recently and its great. As long as I write down my seed phrase I can sleep at night. My coins are protected.
If you want to have a seed phrase, you shouldn't use bitcoin core.


Edit:
As stated by NotATether below, there's also the possibility that the new generated address are your change addresses.
Since you didn't say anything about making any transaction using bitcoin core, I'm assumed that you have never made any transaction with your wallet.
2466  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Bread Wallet now Coinbase Wallet - Help Needed on: May 05, 2022, 11:49:36 AM
MetaMask and MyEtherWallet seem to be talked about the most, but as far as I know they both run from your browser, which is a major downside.
You don't have to use MetaMask on your browser. Its application can be installed on both Android and IOS devices.
Of course, it's still a hot wallet and as you suggested, it's better if Morpheus Eberhardt uses a hardware wallet.
2467  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I need to send Bitcoin to Cashapp, but the fee is huge on: May 02, 2022, 08:59:12 AM
They apply a high fee maybe because there are currently many withdrawal requests so the fee is still expensive.
When there are many withdrawal requests, they can even charge lower fees. They usually process multiple withdrawals in a single transaction.
Note that the fee you pay for a single transaction with 1 input and 100 outputs is lower than the fee you pay for 100 transactions with 1 input and 1 output.


......you can use an Electrium wallet where you can reduce the fees for the network to a minimum......

.......the fees for the Electrium wallet are much lower than the fees for transferring from the exchanges.
That's not Electrium. That's Electrum and the official website is electrum.org.
If someone reads your posts and then searches for that wrong name on google, there's a big possibility that he/she downloads a fake version of electrum.  
2468  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I need to send Bitcoin to Cashapp, but the fee is huge on: May 02, 2022, 07:23:55 AM
Exchanges can charge high, like Binance that charge 0.0005 BTC ($19.5 if bitcoin price is $39000) as withdrawal high.
Binance has decreased bitcoin withdrawal fee to 0.0002 BTC which is around 7.8 dollars at the current rates.
Of course, it's still very high and they are charging extra fee.

2469  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I need to send Bitcoin to Cashapp, but the fee is huge on: May 02, 2022, 06:39:01 AM
So I've checked to see how much I'd pay in network fees, and the fee is too much.
Currently, even transaction with 1 sat/vbyte are confirmed very fast and you shouldn't have to pay a high network fee.
Are you sending bitcoin from your own wallet or a custodial service like an exchange? Custodial services usually charge a high withdrawal fee.
2470  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is there any decentralized way to short crypto? on: April 28, 2022, 01:20:06 PM
I noticed the waves exchange have listed btc up and btc down tokens,
I just visited the exchange you mentioned to see how those tokens work. It seems that no one is interested in those tokens and there is no liquidity.
The 24 hours trading volume for both BTCUP and BTCDOWN is zero.
2471  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sending Crypto to the wrong address on: April 27, 2022, 03:55:35 PM
We're developing something to reduce human error in crypto transactions, especially those in which some mistake was made when writing the receiver address.
We don't need that.
If you write an address manually and make a mistake, it's almost impossible that it's a valid address and your wallet or the service you are using won't allow you to make transaction.
2472  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum can't handle "send to pubkey" inputs on: April 27, 2022, 03:47:12 PM
This is an issue with blockchain explorers incorrectly linking P2PK coins to the addresses we are now more familiar with that didn't even exist at the time the P2PK outputs were created.
You are saying that there was no address when the transaction mentioned by LoyceV was made? Am I getting you correctly?
If so, electrum shouldn't show any transactions made before that transaction? Right?
But if you import 19uf6F6EDijkH4ZUaqsi3pZ2SVD6A5RG8X into electrum, you will see some transactions made on February 6, 2010 (11 days before the transaction mentioned by LoyceV)

What am I missing here?
Maybe, in that time, people could create both P2PK and p2pkh outputs. Right?
2473  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum can't handle "send to pubkey" inputs on: April 27, 2022, 12:39:13 PM
I can't really find much information about this, searching on keywords give completely different results.
I think the replies made in the topic created by BlackHatCoiner last year should be helpful. He asked the same question.
Electrum doesn't show rewarded coins
2474  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Watch-only wallet on: April 27, 2022, 08:50:00 AM
I checked and it watch-only now. I can now just get address to send BTC for save and can't spend from watch-only wallet right?
Right.
You can use your watch-only wallet for generating new addresses and checking your balance and transactions.
You can't sign transactions using your watch-only wallet and you will need your wallet on VM whenever you want to make a transaction.
2475  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Watch-only wallet on: April 26, 2022, 02:54:13 PM
My wallet is standard wallet.
Are you sure about this?
In the OP, you said that you have created a wallet with 2FA. As mentioned by Charles-Tim, your wallet can't be both standard and 2FA.

If your wallet is 2FA, you have three master public keys.
If your wallet is standard, you have one master public key.


It is possible with multisig but not possible with 2FA setup. That guide is kind of misleading as it is pointing to multisig.
That guide works.
A 2FA wallet in electrum is actually a 2 of 3 multi-signature wallet.

In the 2FA wallet, you can go to "Wallet information" and get all three master public keys.
If you create a multi-signature wallet with those three master public keys, you will have a multi-signature watch-only wallet with the same addresses as the 2FA wallet.
2476  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please could someone help me with my bitcoin on: April 26, 2022, 12:18:16 PM
I didn’t realise it would be worth more as a collectible. I just wanted to get some money from it to clear some debts I have.
If you want to sell your physical bitcoin here on Collectibles board or any other place, you should very careful to not get scammed.


I don’t know if I can post an image as I’m a new user but I certainly will do if I can
You can upload your image on an image hosting website like imgur and post the link here.
2477  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please could someone help me with my bitcoin on: April 26, 2022, 12:05:03 PM
I never heard of these physical coins. Wow!. How many do you have and the value?
Read the following article on Bitcoin Wiki.
Casascius physical bitcoins


ANyways here are the steps
----
----
This should work. But I don't recommend it.

OP should have a big amount of bitcoin and It's not recommended to import the private key into a hot wallet. OP should import the private key into an air-gapped device and make offline transaction.
2478  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please could someone help me with my bitcoin on: April 26, 2022, 11:18:46 AM
If there is any more help you can offer I would appreciate it greatly.
What do you exactly want to do?
Do you want to sell the physical coin itself?
Do you want to redeem the private key and sell your bitcoin on an exchange?
Do you want to make sure that the physical coin you have is genuine and you don't want to sell your bitcoin?
2479  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please could someone help me with my bitcoin on: April 26, 2022, 10:51:49 AM
You should destroy the hologram and import the private key into a wallet and access your bitcoin.

Note that, before importing your private key into a wallet, you should make sure that the device is secure and there is no malware in it.
I recommend you to use electrum.

Warning:
Download electrum only from its official website and do not forget to verify your download.


For more security, you can create a watch-only wallet on a online device, create an unsigned transaction and sign the transaction on an air-gapped device.  
For more information on how to make a transaction offline, visit the following link.
How to spend from an offline paper wallet using Electrum

If you only want to check your balance and you don't want to make any transaction, you only need to enter your address (not your private key) in a block explorer like blockchair.
(Never enter your private key in a block explorer.)
2480  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: electrum wallet problem on: April 25, 2022, 04:45:58 PM
As the address in question has received its first transaction about 6 years ago, you definitely created your wallet using a very old version of electrum.

In electrum versions older than 3.3.4, servers were able to show any message. Some servers abused this feature and showed a message asking users to download a fake version of electrum.
Didn't you update electrum using a link shared by servers?
