I don't really see any difference between a digital currency issued by the governments and fiat. There are two big problems with fiat. 1. It's centralized and the governments have full control over people money.  2. It can be printed.
A digital currency issued by a government still have both problems. I am sure they will design the so called digital currency in a way so they can increase the total supply whenever they want.


Yes. There is no need to such currencies.
Governments believe that bitcoin is a threat to the control they have over people's money and think that with introducing such a digital currency can decrease that threat. That's the only reason they think of creating such a currency.
After launching their CBDC, some governments may say that "why do you want bitcoin? Our CBDC is better than that and bitcoin is illegal".
They don't really know how bitcoin works and think they can prevent people from using bitcoin is this way.

Electrum definitely displayed a seed phrase when you were creating the wallet. It even forced you to enter the seed phrase to confirm you have saved it.


You need the seed phrase to disable 2FA or use the 2FA key to set up the 2FA again.


If you have neither the seed phrase nor the 2FA key, the only thing you can do is to contact trustedcoin support.
In their "Contact us" page, they say that they won't sent you a new key. But that's your only chance and there's nothing else you can do.

As I already said in my previous post, the second number refers to the coin type.
For example, the path m/44'/0'/0' is used for generating legacy bitcoin addresses. The path m/84'/0'/0' is used for generating native segwit bitcoin addresses.
The path m/44'/60'/0' is used for generating ethereum addresses. The path m/44'/195'/0' is used for generating Tron addresses.

Also, with changing the third number, you can create new accounts with new addresses.
Some wallets like electrum uses the fourth number to distinguish between receiving and change addresses.
For example, electrum generates receiving addresses on the path m/44'/0'/0'/0 and change addresses on the path m/44'/0'/0'/1

Seems that so98nn is referring to the derivation path used for ethereum.

so98nn, the second number in the derivation path refers to the coin. 0 refers to bitcoin and 60 refers to Ethereum.
You should use the path m/44'/60'/x when dealing with ethereum and m/44'/0'/x when dealing with bitcoin. I think it's better to be a little more specific here.

Click here to see the oldest version of their exchange page I could find. It has been taken on December 21, 2019.

Edit:
They launched their exchange in July 2019. Click here to see the reference.

That's no longer possible.
BRD wallet has been bought by coinbase and they have stopped their service. Now all the users have to import their seed phrase into other wallets.

---

To OP:
As already suggested above, you can follow the guide provided by fillippone and specify the derivation path manually.
You can also click on "Detect existing account" when importing your seed phrase. In this way, electrum will automatically find the correct derivation path.

Yes, You can import your seed phrase into any other wallet supporting BIP39 seed phrase and access your fund.
I have read many reports regarding blocking accounts on blockchain.com. But they all are related to their trading account and they have nothing to do with blockchain.com wallet.

If there's a legacy or a nested segwit address in inputs of the unconfirmed parent, there's the chance of malleability attack too.
Nodes can change the hash of the unconfirmed parent and makes the child invalid. This can happen even if the parent hasn't been flagged as RBF.

There's another scenario in which the transaction is included in a stale block.

Assume that miners A and B mine a block simultaneously. Miner A has included your transaction. Miner B hasn't included your transaction. Now your transaction has 1 confirmation.
The next block is mined and is added to the chain including the block mined by miner B. The block mined by miner A is now a stale block.
Now your transaction isn't on the chain with the most work and it's unconfirmed.

I also tried that to see how it works on my side.
When I refresh the page (a normal refresh, no need to a hard refresh), the result is back to normal and ignored topics are shown again.
When I do a new search"without refreshing the page, the ignored topics are still hidden.

As a long as a bitcoin transaction is unconfirmed, there's a chance that it will never be confirmed.
In theory even a confirmed transaction has still the chance to become invalid.

So, accepting an unconfirmed transaction depends on your risk acceptance.

I would never accept an unconfirmed transaction which is flagged as RBF even if the amount is very small.
I may accept a non-RBF unconfirmed transaction if the amount is small.
If the amount is big, I would accept the transaction only if it's confirmed.

Many services don't accept your transaction even if it has received 1 confirmation and they require more confirmations.


If the fee you pay for the transaction isn't enough, there's the probability that the transaction takes a very longer time to be confirmed. (In the worst case, your transaction will never be confirmed)

Even if a topic is moved to a different board, the topic ID doesn't change and you can still use the same link to see the post.

TryNinja can scrap the location of every topic one more time after a certain time to check if it has been moved. Of course, I doubt it's worth it to do that.

As the source code isn't available to the public, there is no way to know that. It's possible that they have access to users seed phrase
(The 12 words you use for recovering your wallet is called seed phrase, not passphrase.)

Yes. The seed phrase they give you is BIP39 and is compatible with many other wallets.


blockchain.com is both a wallet and an exchange.
If your fund is on their wallet, it can be recovered using your seed phrase.
If your fund in on their exchange, they can do everything they want.

It's almost impossible to do that.
In order to have information about the new location of the posts, TryNinja has to scrap the location of all the posts made in the forum again and again forever.

Changenow is an exchange. It's true that they have received those 10 ETH. But they have sent another cryptocurrency to the hacker.

I have a question for you.
If someone steals your money and buys a car with that, who should return the money to you? The car seller or the thief?

It only applies to coinbase transactions.
Bitcoin received in other transactions can be spent once it's received (even if the parent is still unconfirmed).


There's always the chance that a block is orphaned*.
The rule prevents miners from spending the bitcoin that has been generated in a block that may be orphaned.


*An orphan block is a block which has been mined successfully, but it's not accepted due to not being in the longest chain.

I read all your posts in this topic and I feel you misunderstood them. They didn't really promise to refund you.
They only asked you to make a request and tell them why you believe that they should refund you. This doesn't mean they promised to send those 10 ETH to you.

It's unlikely that he/she has exchanged those 10 ETH for fiat. There's a big possibility that they have been exchanged for another cryptocurrency.

OP didn't import the root key into Armory. He/She imported the Armory's root key into brainwalletx.
In that tool, you have to enter the spaces manually when typing the root key.

The seed phrase generated by electrum for a standard wallet can be imported into bluewallet.
The seed phrase generated by electrum for a 2FA wallet can't be imported into any other wallet.

You can't do that.
The seed phrase electrum generates for a 2FA wallet is different from common seed phrases. It's a backup for two master private keys and works in a different way.

Note that even a seed phrase generated by electrum for a standard wallet can't be imported into trustwallet.
Trustwallet uses BIP39 standard while electrum uses its own algorithm for generating a seed phrase.
