Good morning Bitcoinland.
Still creeping up mostly sideways... currently $1089 (Bitcoinaverage).
Bitstamp's just hit a 24 hour high of $1095. Can it push above that $1100 barrier this time? Yesterday it made it all the way up to $1097, then retraced back down as an April fool's joke. Maybe this time it will push above that barrier, or maybe we stay range bound between $1060 and $1100. |

They have a banking charter which I believe will include insurance for your USD in case they fail. Not too sure about the coins themselves. I doubt there's anywhere more legit than there but that isn't really saying too much when it comes to Bitcoin infrastructure.
Fiat funds are fully insured, but that's not the case when it comes to the digital assets people store there. Not sure why they don't offer insurance for coins as well, but that's what the situation is right now.Other than that, from what I read on their site they do take cold storage very serious, which is always a plus. Nowadays inside jobs are a bigger problem than hackers are. Long story short ~ nothing wrong with this exchange. because no big insurance company insurances Bitcoin. Gemini is financial licensed so they are good. That's probably true. According to this article Xapo claims to be insured by Meridian Global Insurance Limited, which is a company 100% owned by Xapo. The article goes on to say coinbase doesn't say which underwriters it uses, only that it goes through a large insurance broker called Aon which finds its underwriters. |

The btrx token market has opened today. There's only a few orders been placed so far, and there's been no trades yet. It's ironic that anyone selling their btrx tokens for Bitcoins cannot withdraw those Bitcoins because Bitcoin withdrawals are still frozen on all the Chinese exchanges. They will have to convert their Bitcoins to altcoins to withdraw anything. https://bter.com/trade/btrx_btc |

The following instructions should work for the installed version of electrum, but not for the portable version. The installable version of electrum puts the wallet files in a folder that's hidden by default in windows. 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.  Once your wallet folder has opened you can use secure delete software to delete your wallets if you want to make sure nobody can ever undelete them with special software. Do your own research to find some good software that can securely delete files by overwriting them with random data. Never install anything recommended on bitcointalk before scanning it for viruses using this site, and doing some research on the software yourself first. |

The bitcoinfees.21.co website currently recommends paying 200 satoshis/byte for fast confirmation, but your transaction only pays 77 satoshis/byte. Also, the blocktrail explorer says your transaction contains dust (low value inputs). If you look here it shows your transaction has ten inputs with these values (in Bitcoins). 0.00001981 0.36018940 0.00002062 0.00001260 0.00001682 0.88371750 0.00022396 0.00061981 0.00002886 0.00002308 I tried the viabtc transaction accelerator, but as usual it rejects transactions with little inputs, so you can either wait a long time for your transaction to confirm or pay someone to get it confirmed faster. You can contact either quickseller or macbook-air and offer a small payment to get your transaction confirmed fast. This quote gives an example of how much they charge, but your transaction has so many inputs they will probably charge more than the example. I faced a similar issue a few days back transaction not getting confirmed due to low fee but user "QuickSeller" got my transaction confirmed in minutes when I sent him 0.0001 BTC. He has access to some pool . PM him.
They can get F2Pool to confirm your transaction, so when it mines another block your transaction will probably get confirmed. You can see the times it mined its latest blocks here. https://blockchain.info/blocks/F2Pool |

A few days back. No improvement in fees indeed. I paid a pretty stunning amount to move an input heavy one but I'd already steeled myself for that.
If you don't mind my asking how many satoshis per byte id you pay, and did you choose mycelium's highest priority fee? If I want a very fast confirmation when there's a high backlog of unconfirmed transactions I'm prepared to pay $1, but I draw the line at $2. Um, I can't remember. The fee was about $16 on the normal fee, yes really, on 2 or BTC but that made up of about 25-35 ish inputs. It seems to be rather excessive even with far fewer inputs. At first glance that shocked me, but I recently paid 50 cents for a transaction with one input. Scaled up to 25-35 ish inputs that might result in a fee comparable to yours. I tend to think in human terms of how many dollars it will cost me, not like a computer that's only interested in how many inputs there are. A fee of $16 is still outrageous in human terms. |

Given the Mycelium doesn't support BU as far as I can tell... in the event of a hard fork, you'd need to get a BU compatible wallet and import your keys there... all your shiny new BU coins should then show up and you can do with them what you want. Unless of course the Mycelium team build in BU support in an upcoming update  It is possible to import the addresses in mycelium's first account into electrum, but it doesn't seem possible to import addresses from any other mycelium accounts into electrum. A few people had success with importing the first account in this thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1813651.0editIt does work with multiple accounts, a user called Michail1 worked out how to do it. *snip* I have tested with a multiple mycelium account wallet. It will work for other accounts; however, you have to restore them individually. Meaning, follow the process outlined prior for each account within the wallet seed. You get a popup asking which account you want to restore.  My seed has 6 accounts. 0-5 I restored the first 4 as tests to know that it works. |

It already has two confirmations. If you want faster confirmations in the future then use whatever fee the bitcoinfees website recommends. Your transaction only included a 66 satoshis/byte fee, while the bitcoinfees website currently recommends including a 180 satoshis/byte fee for fast confirmation. https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ |

What does those cryptocoin coins under our username mean? I am a pearcoin fanboy? This is a troll right? I never heard of such a shitty coin. Whats next? Carrotcoin? Anyway april 1 game is strong right now I guess.
"pearcoin fanboy" shame on you and oh by the way happy April FoolIt could have been much worse, he could have been given a pearcoin fangirl badge instead. Some boys are getting girl's badges, and some girls are getting boy's badges.  |

Is there any method to make fee higher than 0.005 btc in multibit wallet?
I have it on windows. Want to make it higher but slider can go max to 0.005 btc.
Please help
This quote from 2012 suggests to me that you might be able to increase the fee by editing the multibit.properties file in your user data folder. However, I don't know whether it would work or not, and I would only risk experimenting with a wallet containing a very small amount of Bitcoins in case tampering with the properties makes multibit malfunction. I looked in a recent multibit.properties file and there are no fee settings, so I don't know if adding some would cause a malfunction.
The fee choice is stored in the multibit.properties in your user data so you have kept it.
That could well be it.
I noticed a couple of weeks ago that dropping to a fee of 0.0005 rather than 0.001 started bumping me from getting in the next block (for testing I like to save time so am happy to pay more).
Experiment with a fee of 0.001 for a few days and see if that solves it. Let me know if it does (or not). Trying to pin down exactly what happens to transactions is more art than science sometimes.
Someone asked if altering the properties file could change the fee in 2013, but he never got a clear answer to his question. I use MultiBit 0.5.16 (Windows) In %appdat%\MultiBit\multibit.properties there are the options of setting the transaction-fee: sendFee=0.001 previousSendFee=0.001 If I set these to 0.0001 will this overide the MultiBit-policy not being able to set the transaction-fee in the MultiBit-software? I mean: will it use my setting (0.0001) for future transactions? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=303407.0 does not give me a clear answer nor do any other topics I could find. Someone else even asked the multibit dev, but even his answer (given below) wasn't clear. Reply I got from jim618:
skaht is essentially correct - the setting for fees is at 0.0001 BTC/ KB and is not adjustable currently.
The fee settings are kept in the multibit.properties for backwards compatibility (in case you open an older version of multibit)
editIn this quote the dev warned that editing the multibit.properties file can break things. Don't even try it unless you are an experienced programmer.
I don't advise editing the multibit.properties file directly as it can produce unwanted sideeffects or break things.

Target reached , waiting for some red candles There is a way to remove this ??  Nah, its a april 1 troll. The idea is quite nice tho. Putting a cryptocoin under your username that you support. But now there is a default pearcoin-fanboy crypto under my name. Thats just so wrong. Dont even know that shitcoin. It could be worse, you might have PotatoCoin fanboy under your name. On the other hand you might have struck it lucky and got melon master put under your name like shavers. The new badges won't last much longer anyway, after noon in theymos's USA time zone things will go back to normal.  |

It's got one confirmation now. Your transaction included a fee of 120 sats per byte, but the network has a high backlog of unconfirmed transactions today. At present the bitcoinfees website recommends including a 160 sats per byte fee if you want fast confirmation. That recommendation will change as the network's backlog of unconfirmed transactions goes up or down. Check the bitcoinfees website before you send your next transaction and include whatever fee it recommends for a fast confirmation. https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ |

Stamp has pumped up to $1094. Will it go above $1100 before noon, then crash back down as an April fools day joke? I hope if it goes above $1100 after noon because then we're safe from an April fools day prank.

everyone seems to be some kind of altcoin fanboy these days...
must be the top for altcoins
Not everyone's a fanboy, this guy's an apologist instead. Would you rather keep your expert status, or switch to being an apologist? There are a few devs who should apologise for creating coins, but they never do.  |

i hate monero and reptiala ! :-D dash flash crash stash lmao  But your new April fools day status is of a dash flunky and a monero fanboy. I bet you wouldn't be complaining if you'd been given two chief scientist positions instead.   |

Darn it. The altcoin pumps have stagnated.  I was really enjoying the crazy high interest I was getting from margin lending my BTC on Polio, so I could help tradetards go long on bullshit. We need another temporary BTC dip so the alts will heat up again.  Congratulations on your new April Fools day status as both a Bitcoin developer and an Ethereum developer. That's better than my new April Fools day status as an ETC grand poobah. I had forgotten about the April Fools day tricks here last year, and was caught unawares by my new status.   Wow, i don't even know how to program "Hello, World" without a step by step guide.  I'd really screw up a hardfork in royal fashion, I am sure. Either theymos gave himself the position of dogecoin chief scientist, or it was chosen randomly. Being a chief scientist is better than being a developer, so I suspect he gave himself that title.  |

Thanks, I'm glad your transactions are all confirmed now. I think you can find achow101's address in his profile page here. You can also get to his profile page by clicking his name (above where it says Moderator Legendary). |
