2682  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I have my wallet address, but I can't remember my wallet I used... on: February 25, 2022, 08:00:11 PM
It was late 2011 and I have my private key to it, just cant remember what or who I set it up with. I will try the explore and see if it can point me in the right direction. Thanks Guys/Girls
If you have the private key, it doesn't matter which wallet has generated the address.
You can import your private key into any wallet which supports importing private key and access the fund.
Some wallets also allow you to sweep the private key. With sweeping, the fund is sent to a new address generated by your wallet.
Before importing the private key into any wallet, make sure your device is secure and the wallet you use is trustworthy. A good choice is electrum.

Warning:
Download electrum only from its official website and do not forget to verify your download.
2683  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Question is , what to do with the minned Bitcoins ? on: February 25, 2022, 02:47:37 PM
You shouldn't trust any custodial service with your bitcoin. Any custodial services is able to freeze your fund at any time for any reason. There's also the possibility that they get hacked or they are closed at any time. When you use a custodial service, you don't actually own any bitcoin.
You should always use non-custodial wallets, so you can have full control over your fund.

Not your keys, not your coins.

But enough about that topic, is there any sound way to earn with your Bitcoins while I stay true to the principle ideal of? My keys, my Bitcoins with at least having some anonymity.
No.
You can't have full control over your fund and get interest at the same time.

................no matter how hard I think about it paper wallet feels safer what about you?
If you generate and use a paper wallet in the correct way, it's secure.

- The private key (or the seed phrase*) should be generated on an air-gapped device.
- You should make sure that the keys has been generated completely random.
- You shouldn't use a tool you don't know exactly how it works.
- The private key (or the seed phrase) should never touch the internet.
- You should keep the paper wallet in a secure place.
- It's recommended to have multiple copies from the paper wallet and keep them in different places.
- For more security, you can use metal sheets instead of a paper, so it's resistant to water and fire.


*By old definition, a paper wallet includes a single private key and single address. But you can generate a seed phrase instead of a single private key and have numerous addresses. With multiple addresses, you can protect your privacy.

Why has my newly created Bitcoin address already been used?

If you use a SPV wallet (a wallet in which you don't need to download the full blockchain), the server you connect to has the ability to link your addresses with each other and to your IP address.

Let's say you have created an HD wallet with numerous addresses in electrum (the best SPV wallet I know). Since electrum is a SPV wallet and you don't have the full blockchain on your device, you have to connect to a server for getting data from the blockchain. The server you connect to can know all the addresses belong to a same person and also link them to your IP address. There is no guarantee that this server won't share this information with others.

If you want more privacy, you must use bitcoin core and run your own full node.
2687  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I was wondering will 21000 million satisfy? on: February 23, 2022, 07:22:22 PM
Currently it's new minted coin of 6.25 bitcoin per each successfully validated transaction.
Currently, miners can claim 6.25 BTC for every block they mine. This reward isn't for validating transactions. There are many full nodes validating transactions and helping the network without getting any reward for that.
A miner can solve the proof of work problem, broadcast a block without any transaction and get the 6.25 BTC.


Now will the fee be encouraging enough as the only reward then will this spring up inflation in transaction fee or will miners stop?
As stated by Charles-Tim, the block reward has decreased from 50 BTC to 6.25 BTC and mining is still profitable. That's 87.5% decrease in block reward.
The following image shows the total hash rate change over the time. As you see, we reached a new all time high a few days ago.

and if miners stop what will happen to bitcoin
Anyone who can't make profit stops mining. This causes the difficulty to decrease and mining becomes more profitable for others.
2688  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Searching for a tool that cracks a seed when i give it the right words [recovery on: February 23, 2022, 11:18:32 AM
It's a game of a faucet where you have to solve a word puzzle to find all the words of the seed and then bring them in the right order.
Most probably, no combination of those words corresponds to a funded wallet.
Even if there's a funded wallet with those words, as already mentioned in previous posts, it's impossible to brute-force the seed phrase. Those who gave you the words knew this very well.


The instructions of this game tell to download the Electrum Wallet so i have thought that it was created with Electrum.
Hope they didn't give you a link to a fake website and you have downloaded electrum from its official website.
2689  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Moving a wallet from Armory on: February 23, 2022, 12:11:25 AM
I've attempted to export my key, but when following the instructions above, there is no option to backup may wallet when I highlight my wallet and click 'wallet properties'.
Can you share a screenshot from the new window that pops up after clicking on "Wallet Properties" button?
You should see "Backup This wallet" option at right side of the window.

Note that, since you are a newbie you can't post image. Just share your image on an image hosting website like imgur and post the link here.
2690  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Moving a wallet from Armory on: February 21, 2022, 01:14:45 PM
Or if you are having just little amount, you can consider using Electrum wallet by importing the master private key or the child keys, which is the extended private key.
There is no master private key to be exported from Armory.
Armory generates child private keys in a different way. It doesn't use the BIP32 standard which is used by electrum and many other wallets.
So, if you want to import an Armory wallet to electrum, the only option is to use child private keys.

You haven't paid more. You have paid less than the required amount and that's why you can't wear copper membership.
According to the image you posted, you have already paid 0.0005 BTC and you need to pay 0.00006996 BTC more to be able to wear copper membership.

2693  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum 2FA vs Electrum Cold Storage on: February 20, 2022, 08:28:10 PM
But while using 2FA on Electrum, the seed phrase is not stored on the wallet (I am not sure if the seed phrase is stored on the wallet file). If the 2Fa app is on another device, I think this is secure enough also, but TrsutedCoin do request for extra fee which can be discouraging as you mentioned.
You are right. The seed phrase isn't stored on the wallet file. But there's still the probability that your computer is compromised and your seed phrase is stolen when creating the wallet.
Even if the wallet is 2FA, it should be created on an air-gapped device.

For having a secure 2FA wallet, you should:
1. Create the wallet on an airgapped device
2. Move the wallet file to an online computer
3. Register on trustedcoin

but someone told me he is been using this wallet since 2015 with no issue
This doesn't mean Coinbase is secure.
It's true that the person you are talking about hasn't had any problem with coinbase till now. But there is no guarantee that there won't be any problem in future.
Now coinbase is showing him a number as his balance and promise that he will be able to withdraw that. This promise can be broken at any time.
2695  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: All in one learning about binance, KYC, wallets pls guide me on: February 20, 2022, 07:26:57 PM
1. How to do wallet transactions, and how it feels like.
I think your question is how to send the fund from binance to your wallet.
In the case I am getting you correctly, you open your wallet, copy your address, go to binance and make a withdrawal to the address you copied from your wallet.


2. How swap takes place in wallet like trust wallet.
Using swap feature in trustwallet, you can trade some tokens.
Just note that both pairs must be on the same network. For example, you can trade two ERC20 tokens or two BEP20 tokens with each other. You can't trade bitcoin with ethereum.
2696  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum 2FA vs Electrum Cold Storage on: February 20, 2022, 06:38:21 PM
I understand that HD wallet is the most secure.....
The advantage of HD wallets is that it can give you numerous addresses and increase your privacy, not your security.


but if the only options were Electrum with 2FA and Electrum using cold storage which one is more secure and why (or maybe they're equally secure)?
A cold wallet without 2FA is much more secure than a hot 2FA wallet.

Even if your wallet is 2FA, there's still the chance that your seed phrase is compromised and your fund is stolen without any need to 2FA code. You should always generate and keep the seed phrase (or your private keys) offline.
With 2FA, you also have to pay additional fee to trustedcoin.
Also note that 2FA is useless if you install the authenticator application on the same device as your wallet.
2697  Other / Meta / Re: Recover hacked account. on: February 20, 2022, 06:26:18 PM
I registered the same email for a blockchain wallet but the problem is that I forgot the password and didn't back up the data.
Do any of the addresses you posted before come from that blockchain wallet?
If yes, try to remember the password or brute-force it. Then you will be able to sign a message and recover your account.
If no, even if you find the password associated with your blockchain wallet, it can't help you recover your bitcointalk account.
2698  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Totally newbie bitcoin user question on: February 20, 2022, 12:16:39 PM
Could I am poured one wallet to another wallet and then the wallet that I am poured into would have the balance from the other wallet? Also, where do the fees  come from when I’m buying bitcoin? Because as I said earlier when I did my mock order, I was still only paying $50, which is how much I said I wanted to buy in the first place. Are  fees assessed in the amount of bitcoin that I received, meaning I would receive less due to fees?
You need to know how a bitcoin wallet works.
Your bitcoin are on the blockchain, not on your wallet. Your wallet only include your keys and use them for making transactions. All your keys (private keys, public keys and addresses) are all derived from your seed phrase.
When you export your seed phrase from a wallet and import it into another wallet, you actually move your keys to a new wallet and use the new tool which does the same thing. In this case you don't make any transaction. The balance that is shown in your old wallet can be seen on your new wallet too.


I would receive less due to fees?
Yes.
2699  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin recovery agent on: February 20, 2022, 11:10:41 AM
I don't know which Dave that person said, whether he succeeded or not, it's clear from his words that he seems very happy because his Bitcoins can be recovered.
Dave is the owner of walletrecoveryservices and has an account here on the forum.
walletrecoveryservices can be helpful for brute-forcing a password (if it's weak or you know a part of it) or the seed phrase (if you know a part of it).
OP's case seems to be different. No one can recover the fund sent to a scammer.
2700  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Totally newbie bitcoin user question on: February 19, 2022, 12:51:26 AM
I don’t think it matters how quick anything happens when I’m buying bitcoin, because it doesn’t look like I can choose any faster or slower method for that matter when I’m buying it. Is that correct?
Correct.
You can have control over the fee when you make a transaction yourself.

So what can I do to get away with having no fees, or little fees when I buy bitcoin?
As I said in my previous post, the fee you pay when buying bitcoin varies from one service to another. It's usually a percentage of the total amount of bitcoin you buy.

another question though that  may answer my earlier question, if I import a Wallet from another service into a service, would that wallet contain the transactions that I have made with it? Like if I do it on an app that charges me no fees, could I import that wallet into my primary bitcoin use app?
For making any bitcoin transaction, you have to pay the network fee.
If you import your wallet from one wallet to another one, you don't make any transaction and you don't pay any fee.
