If you have access to the email address used for creating your wallet, search for blockchain in your email inbox. Your wallet ID can be found at bottom of any email they have sent to you.
Just note that even if you can find the wallet ID, you need the password too. Without that you can't access your wallet.
2742  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Withdrawal Confirmation and Speed on: January 21, 2022, 06:32:07 PM
I start the answer to your question with bitcoin.
Once a transaction is confirmed (I mean it gets 1 confirmation), it's almost secure and it's very unlikely that someone can change it. But that's not 100% secure.
It's possible that your transaction never receive next confirmations. Because, there is no guarantee that next block will be added to the chain including your transaction. Your transaction is also vulnerable to a 51% attack.
More confirmations your transaction receives, more secure it becomes.

Every coin has a different total hash power and the cost to implement a 51% attack is different for each of them. That's why exchanges wait for different number of confirmations.
Also, some coins like BNB use the POS system and that's probably why FTX is accepting BNB transactions with a single confirmation.
Note that there is no exact number as number of required confirmations and that depends on risk acceptance of the exchange.

a) the exchange itself from where you are withdrawing?
No, it doesn't depend on where you have sent the coins from. Usually, there is no way to know where the fund has been sent from at all.

b) on the coin you are withdrawing?
You probably mean deposit. Yes.
As said, the cost for implementing a 51% attack for different coins are different.
For example, a bitcoin transaction with 1 confirmation is much more secure than a bitcoin cash transaction with 10 (or maybe even more) confirmations.

c) the time of day you are withdrawing?
Again, deposit not withdraw.
The cost of implementing a 51% attack may change over the time. But that's not significant and exchanges usually consider a fixed number of confirmations.  
So, the answer is NO.

d) the destination?
As said, it depends on risk acceptance of the recipient. Number of required confirmations may vary in different exchanges.
Note that if you send bitcoin to me and I trust you enough, I can even accept an unconfirmed transaction.
2743  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Did not receive satoshis, though transaction is reflected on blockchain network on: January 21, 2022, 04:25:17 PM
This might also be a derivation path problem. Did you recover your wallet since you generated the address?
This can happen only if you deal with a BIP39 seed phrase.
If the wallet has been originally generated by electrum, it's not possible to generate addresses with a different script type at all. Once you enter a seed phrase that has been generated by electrum, it automatically displays the seed type and you can't change that.

2745  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How safe is a multi signature wallet on: January 18, 2022, 08:17:54 PM
To add to Charles-Tim's post:

In a M of N multi-signature wallet, M-N master public keys are also needed.
Let's say a wallet is 2 of 3. For making a transaction from this wallet, in addition to two master private keys, the public key of the third co-signer is also needed. Without that, it's not possible to setup the wallet.
2746  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How safe is a multi signature wallet on: January 18, 2022, 07:05:16 PM
Would the best thing to do be for me to use a 2 of 2 multi signature wallet, is it very safe, I'm seeking top security here, would I be able to sufficiently evade malwares and other forms of attacks if I do so.
It depends on how you implement it and how you make transactions.
If the two master private keys (or the corresponding seed phrases) always stay at separate devices, it can increase your security.

Let's say you have a 2 of 2 multi-signature wallet. The master private key A is kept on device A and the master private key B is kept on device B.
If you enter the master private key A on device B when making a transaction, it would defeat the purpose of the wallet. The two co-singers should sign the transaction in separate devices.

Also note that if you lose one of the master private keys, you will lose the access to the fund. So, I recommend you to consider a 2 of 3 multi-signature wallet too. In this way, you can keep three master private keys in three different places and you will still have access to the fund if you lose one of them for any reason.
2747  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Seed Phrase Compatibility With Newer Version on: January 18, 2022, 02:35:52 PM
They are compatible with all new versions of Electrum wallet, but I don't think it can work on any other brand of wallets (software or hardware).
In the case the wallet generated by electrum has been already funded, you can import it into bluewallet using its seed phrase.
It should be mentioned that, if there is no transaction in the wallet generated by electrum, it can't be imported into bluewallet.
2748  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How can i recover my Electrum Seed? on: January 16, 2022, 02:19:02 PM
Is there any chance that some sort of brute force could get your seed back?
No, that's impossible.

The only thing I can recommend you is to try to find the seed phrase. You may have saved or written that somewhere.
Also note that you have definitely enabled 2FA when creating the wallet. You may be able to find it on an old mobile phone.

Otherwise, there's nothing you can do and the fund is lost forever.
2749  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Lost in conversion on: January 16, 2022, 01:24:41 PM
The problem is that the "change" output of 0.0747595 is not added to my balance. Probably, Electrum does not accept the change address as part of my wallet...?
So, that's an outgoing transaction from your wallet. I thought you have received that.

You sent bitcoin from 1LNq5K... to 3CCj2oCUB.... and the change was sent to bc1qt35g6.....

I haven't ever used Bread wallet. It seems that breadwallet has sent the change to a segwit address while the wallet was legacy. If that's the case, a part of your balance is now in a legacy wallet and another part is in a segwit address.

What script type you selected when importing the seed phrase into electrum?
Select "native segwit (p2wpkh) and check if you see that 0.0747595 BTC.

Edit:
If it didn't work, click here and follow the guide posted by HCP.
It seems that Breadwallet use the derivation path of m/0'/1 for change addresses.

By the way, why don't you create a new electrum wallet and make a transaction from breadwallet to electrum?
2750  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Odd or even? on: January 16, 2022, 11:40:03 AM
To answer to this question, there is no need to mathematical calculations at all. The answer is the same for any public key.
Any public key can be generated by 2^96 private keys on average. Therefore, any known public key can be generated by numerous odd private keys and numerous even private keys.  


Sorry, there is exactly 1 private key for any public key.
2751  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Lost in conversion on: January 16, 2022, 10:55:25 AM
I found the transaction on blockchair.com. It har three transaction; one "sender" amount which is split in two "recipient" amounts, the last of these is the change. Obviously, the chance is not discovered by Electrum.

The transaction id is 6f098f49fe52df37baea116d04bf07fcfde433c8a06c9ca51f7e236964f4965e
That's not three transactions. That's a single transaction with 1 input and 2 outputs.
Assuming 3CCj2oCUB..... belongs to the wallet you imported into electrum, you should see the receiving amount of 0.025 BTC in your transaction history.
What's the problem now? Is electrum showing a different amount?
2752  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How can i recover my Electrum Seed? on: January 15, 2022, 09:06:38 PM
can i do something with my master public key?
No, none of the three master public keys you have can help you to make a transaction.
As said, your wallet is actually a 2 of 3 multi-signature wallet. This means that for making any transaction two private keys are needed.

Your wallet includes only 1 master private key and since you don't have the seed phrase, any transaction you want to make has to be signed by trustedcoin.
Just wait for trustedcoin's response. There's nothing else you can do, unless you manage to find the seed phrase or the 2FA authenticator.  
2753  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How can i recover my Electrum Seed? on: January 15, 2022, 08:47:13 PM
I can't find their email to contact them
Contact userhelp@trustedcoin.com.

In their "contact us" page, they say that they will ignore such requests.
But as already said, if you have neither the seed phrase nor the 2FA key, that's the only thing you can do. Try your luck. They  have been helpful in some cases.

By the way, are you sure that you haven't saved your seed phrase or written that somewhere? Are you sure that you don't have trustedcoin 2FA authenticator on an old phone?
2754  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How can i recover my Electrum Seed? on: January 15, 2022, 08:37:35 PM
Your wallet is actually a 2 of 3 multi-signature wallet. For making any transaction, 2 private keys are needed. Your wallet file includes only 1 private key.
If you have neither the seed phrase nor the 2FA code, the only thing you can do to is to contact trustedcoin and ask them to recover the 2FA.
Contact them with the email address you used when creating the wallet.

It's been said here before that you can contact trusted coin support and ask them for your private keys.......
They may recover the 2FA, but they won't give the private key.
2755  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Issue That I Can't Wrap My Head Around on: January 12, 2022, 12:48:49 AM
reducing the difficulty. just makes it cheaper for miners to find blocks. this just results in more miners jumping in.. which ends up increasing the difficulty again.
Reducing the difficulty in a way the average block time decreases to less than 10 minutes.

Assume that we decrease the average block time to 2 minutus. The difficulty will increase with the increase in the total hashrate, but the average block time will still remain 2 minutes.This will lead to a less congested network and lower transaction fees.

Again, I'm not saying this is a good solution. It would make the network insecure. We don't need it all.
2756  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Issue That I Can't Wrap My Head Around on: January 11, 2022, 11:53:21 PM
----------
I feel my wording was not good.
With reducing the difficulty, we don't really decrease the total energy consumption. Because all miners are still working and the total hash rate of the network wouldn't change. As you mentioned, for decreasing the energy consumption, we need more efficient miners.

To make my previous statement more accurate:
For decreasing the energy needed for mining a block, one way is to decrease the difficulty and the problem is that it can lead to a 51% attack.


OP suggested to make the amount of power used to mine blocks lower, so miners are encouraged to mine blocks with low transaction fees.
My point was that to do so, we would need a hard fork decreasing the difficulty. I know how this can make the network insecure and I'm not saying that's a good solution.
 
Making more efficient miners is another solution. But that's responsibility of ASIC manufacturers, not bitcoin developers.
2757  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Issue That I Can't Wrap My Head Around on: January 11, 2022, 10:11:52 PM
I think instinctively, adopters of Bitcoin will immediately turn to raising Bitcoins supply cap (probably by 2x) to solve this issue.
As already said by others, this will never happen.
If you want a coin with 2x supply, that's no longer bitcoin. That would be an altcoin which can be a fork of bitcoin.

One solution to this problem will be to make the amount of power used to mine blocks significantly lower as that will incentivize miners to mine blocks with lowers transaction fees.
Again, we would need a hard fork. The new coin would be an altcoin with a very insecure network.
To decrease the energy consumption, we should reduce the difficulty. In the case difficulty is reduced much, it would be easy to perform a 51% attack.
2758  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Questions to Elektrum on: January 11, 2022, 09:41:34 PM
Passphrase is added to your seed phrase and make your wallet generate completely different addresses. Passphrase can be any combination of words and characters.
Password is used for encrypting your wallet file locally.

When you generate a wallet on electrum, it gives you a seed phrase including 12 words. The seed phrase can be extended with a passphrase (extra words or characters).
To add a passphrase, you should click on "options" and check "extend this seed with custom words".

In the case you want to recover your wallet using your seed phrase, you need your passphrase (if there's any) too. You don't need your password when recovering the wallet using the seed phrase.
2759  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can't open electrum after installing Monterey OS on: January 11, 2022, 05:32:53 PM
Is the seed phrase 12 words?
Yes. The seed phrase includes 12 words. If you have it, there's nothing to worry about. It's enough for recovering your wallet.
In the case the new OS doesn't support electrum, you can import the seed phrase on another device and access your fund.

When you say back it up, do you mean onto an external hard drive?  Sorry for the basic questions, I'm not tech savvy at all.  
Keep the wallet file.
It can be on an external hard drive or any other place.


Can you confirm I can recover my wallet with the seed phrase even if I can't get electrum to work on the computer that the wallet was sitting on?
If you have the seed phrase, you can recover your wallet using electrum on any device.
If your wallet has been funded, you can use bluewallet too.
