The btc.com provides a transaction accelerator service that you can pay to use. The prices it charges are quite high, and you might have to pay by debit/credit card. However, if you are in a hurry it might be a useful option. https://pushtx.btc.com/ |

I once thought $10K was crazy, but in a world where Bitcoin is pretty well accepted, I now believe that number is actually quite small. Even at $10K - Bitcoin is still worth significnatly less than Amazon, Apple, Facebook, or etc.
Exactly. High numbers are only impressive due to low number of total coins. Factoring that there are just 16 million coins, the price is actually pretty low. $100.000 will be the new $1000. Confirmed. 6 digits will become the new floor when Russia will join the party. India will also join, BTC will get worldwide attention. People will dump stocks and fiat and move to the Bitcoin next. ITS GONNA BE HUGE. The price will pump higher when the Chinese government allows the Chinese exchanges to resume Bitcoin withdrawals. That withdrawals freeze is suppressing the price, without it $2000 would already be history. |

If you never deleted your wallet file from your computer it should still be in a folder that windows hides by default. If you are running windows try using these instructions to open your wallet file's folder. If you have a windows start button on your version of windows then click it, then copy and paste the line of text below into the search box. Afterwards press the "enter" key on your keyboard and the folder containing your electrum wallets should open. %appdata%\Electrum\wallets This is what the search box should look like after you paste the line of text into it.  If you open your wallet file in notepad the seed should be written in plain text (provided you didn't password protect it. As Bitcoinsummoner says you can also open it using electrum to access your coins. |

Been waiting for 2 days and still no confirmation. I send bitcoin from one exchange to another, and usually it doesn't get stuck like this.
I accelerated all your transactions using this website. https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/It's run by the viabtc mining pool which will now include all your transactions in the next block it mines. You can check how often it mines a block at this link. https://blockchain.info/blocks/ViaBTCIf you withdraw from that exchange again I suggest immediately submitting the transaction IDs to the viabtc accelerator website. |

Hi HI-TEC99, Thanks a lot for your help ! I'll take a look to viabtc and try to accelerate it. I'll inform you if I have some news  Many thanks, BR It's OK now, you don't need to do anything, I accelerated your transaction using viabtc so all you need to do now is wait until it either confirms by itself, or until the viabtc pool mines its next block and confirms it for you. |

Hey guys
can someone explain the situation with bitfinex, please
If bitfinex wired money to your bank it did it through a chain of banks, each passing the money onto the next one in the chain. There might be four or more banks in that chain, and Wells Fargo Bank was one of the intermediaries in the chain. Bitcoin.com explain how bitfinex was suing Wells Fargo Bank because it stopped passing money from bitfinex through that chain of banks. However, bitfinex dropped its lawsuit and is now probably finding a new chain of banks to send USD through that excludes Wells Fargo Bank. It's not unusual for a bank to refuse to take part in wire transfers from another bank. Any business affected by a particular bank's refusal can just wire money through a different chain of banks, but it takes time to arrange a new chain. https://news.bitcoin.com/bitfinex-withdraws-lawsuit-wells-fargo/The problem of large banks discontinuing correspondent banking relationships with smaller banks is not an uncommon one. Thanx for the explanation, just one more question: So basically, from what we know of, no funds of bitfinex are being held by Wells Fargo. They just don't allow funds to go through and presumably return the funds to the sender, right? Yes, Wells Fargo isn't holding any bitfinex funds, it's just refusing to process bitfinex related wires. There was a FUD reddit thread that said Wells Fargo was holding millions of bitfinex customer's dollars, but it was bullshit. Bitfinex stated in an announcement that "no U.S. banks are holding any customer funds". https://www.bitfinex.com/posts...for now, we do want to dispel some of the misinformation that we have seen on the internet:
No U.S. banks are holding any customer funds. |

I did this with both wallets. Same situation.  Try restoring from seed in the portable version of electrum. That stores all its blockchain data in a separate location to the install-able version of electrum. This is the link to the portable version download. https://download.electrum.org/2.8.2/electrum-2.8.2-portable.exe |

I can't move those funds. It says "Not enough funds" when im trying to move it. I sent full amount of wallet with that transaction. Is there anything i can do ? And how about that fee, i put tick on the "Dynamic fee". Is that correct move? Thank you for answers.
Try restoring from seed in a new wallet using the seed from your original wallet. Just click new/restore, choose standard wallet, then check "I already have a seed", and enter your seed phrase from your original wallet into the text box that opens. After the new wallet syncs your coins should be spendable from it. |

Bitfinex has decided to use any other currency besides USD for wires as a temporary solution. They say they are a victim of correspondent bank de-risking. I think I remember some Australian Bitcoin companies were victims of bank de-risking a while back, but I don't remember what the long term outcome was. https://www.bitfinex.com/postsBitfinex is currently experiencing delays in the processing of outbound USD wires to customers. The normal channels that we have been operating through in the past are currently unavailable. Alternative channels are being opened to solve these transmission delays; however, the complexity and scale involved mean that it is taking some time to return to normal withdrawal velocities. Consequently, customers requesting USD wires should expect delays as we work to normalize the withdrawal process. USD deposits remain unaffected. There is currently no ETA on full normalization of USD wires, but we are working hard to provide alternatives to our customers and will continue to provide updates as we progress. Notably, we can process withdrawals in other currencies, namely, Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) and Swiss Francs (CHF). In addition, we expect to confirm the availability of Japanese Yen (JPY), Australian Dollars (AUD), and Canadian Dollars (CAD) in the next few days, and Euros (EUR) sometime next week. |

Huge buy support added to the finex books.  Is this gentlemen? Probably not. They've withdrawn their lawsuit with Wells Fargo so as far as I can tell there's no other way out of there other than BTC for now. They say they have "other outbound channels available". However I don't know WTF "other channels" means. Maybe it means there are other intermediary banks they can use, or maybe it means we can use tether, or Bitcoin to withdraw instead. Coindesk says there will be an announcement soon, so we won't be left in suspense long. https://twitter.com/bitfinex/status/850318117729427457Outbound wires are experiencing delays because of this, but we have other outbound channels available. |

Click the console tab, then copy and paste the command below into it, then press your enter key.
listaddresses()
If your electrum wallet file isn't encrypted there's another way to get your receiving addresses. Open it in notepad and you will see all the addresses it visibly contains in a list.

I was always wondering about this, is Multibit HD actually an SPV wallet? If it's the case then won't that make it somehow centralized because I don't see people running servers (so It must be the developers themselves). If it's the same way as Electrum, they should somehow be able to see the addresses each wallet control.
A multibit wallet connects to normal Bitcoin core nodes, and requests details of address balances from them using something called Bloom filters. Unfortunately the Bloom filters implemented in multibit and any other Bitcoinj based wallet are extremely bad for your privacy. According to this quoted blog post Mike Hearn says fixing this problem won't be easy. The tl:dr is that an attacker who connects to your multibit wallet can find out all the addresses it contains. https://jonasnick.github.io/blog/2015/02/12/privacy-in-bitcoinj/tl;dr If you are using a wallet that is built upon BitcoinJ, such as Android Wallet, Multibit and Hive Wallet, you have almost zero wire privacy. An attacker who manages to connect to your wallet is easily able to figure out all addresses you control. This is not very likely to get fixed in the near future. |

You can solve your problem by importing your multibit wallet words into breadwallet on your phone. You need either an iPhone or one of the latest androids to run breadwallet. If your phone can't run breadwallet you could try importing your multibit wallet words into mycelium, which runs on older android phones. This post explains how to do it, but I'm not sure it works. I know of people who tried with breadwallet and reported it works, but I don't know of anyone that's tried with mycelium yet. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1818831.msg18116628#msg18116628 There's another solution if you can't use either the breadwallet method, or the mycelium method, but it requires more work. You can find out how to do it by reading the thread link below. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1785575.0 |

Thank you for the prompt response...I never used this program before. I never set up an initial password of any type, that why I do not understand what could have happened...What do I do??? I am STILL faced with the same problem. I hope to hear from someone who can actually provide some assistance. No offense to anyone.
Is there any other cold computer-based wallet I can download quickly???
Did you try leaving the "Current Password" box empty and only setting a "New" password. This would probably work if there is no password on the wallet. If you have no funds in the wallet, you could also always try creating a new wallet via File -> New/Restore I experimented with creating a wallet with a blank password in the latest electrum. When I opened the wallet file it wasn't encrypted, everything was human readable including the seed, xprv, and xpub. There was also a field marked "use_encryption": false. When making a new wallet you have to create, then re-enter your seed before you create a password. The OP can solve his problem by creating a new wallet, entering his seed into it, and leaving the password blank. A password isn't needed to restore an old wallet from a seed. |

Still little or no mention of Bitfinex's Well Fargo lawsuit? http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-exchange-bitfinex-sues-wells-fargo-over-bank-transfer-freeze/I assume not that much actual USD is withdrawn from there but even so that's a rather important part of any exchange's functionality. I really can't see how BFX could win this. I assume the banking business is discretionary and they wouldn't be the type of customer any bank would particularly want and I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner. A post on reddit questions whether that bank wanted bitfinex to sue it. If the bank loses and the government questions why its processing bitfinex wires it can say it was ordered to by a court. Likewise, if the bank wins it doesn't have to worry about trouble from the government. Whatever the result it will straighten out the legalities of processing wires from exchanges. IMO any bank is legally obliged to block a suspicious wire, but I don't think they can block all wires from a particular company without a reason. Bitfinex wouldn't be suing if it didn't think it could win. i know banks can block a customer without giving a reason, but an intermediary bank blocking a business without a reason could bankrupt it. |
