my transaction hopelessly stuck
You have some options exlained in the thread below. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1802212.0One option is to wait a long time. What your other options are depends on whether you sent the transaction from your own wallet, or are receiving them in your wallet. You have less options if your Bitcoins are being transferred between addresses you don't control (like exchange addresses). In that case you could try offering to pay a miner to include your transaction in a block. If you control a receiving or sending address you could try using the Bitcoin Transaction Fee Booster software a bitcointalk moderator made available in the thread linked below. However it requires some technical skill to use. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1506632.0Before you can use the software you will need to download and install java from the link below, unless you already have it installed. https://java.com/en/download/ |

So basically I can just wait and hope that some miner picks it up?
Achow101 posted a link to a thread that explains your options, and pointed out the transaction's fee is too low for the ViaBTC accelerator. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1802212.0*snip* It is extremely unlikely for your transaction to confirm any time soon. Read: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1802212.0 for information about what you can do. Note that the ViaBTC accelerator will not accept your transaction because its fee is too low (must be at least 10 satoshis/byte). There are 80,000 unconfirmed transactions today, when 5,000 is normal. You can wait a long time and hope a miner picks it up, or the network forgets about it. You can offer to pay a pool to include it in a block, or you can try to double spend your transaction with a higher fee. See the thread linked above for more detail about those options. |

There was some strange video on bitcoinity just now. I was so busy getting a screenshot of it that I missed the whole thing. This is all I saw.  |

If you want to boost the speed of the transaction you can do this with the Viabit tx accelerator: https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/But you should always give an appropriate fee, this tool is like only for mistakes  That won't work for his transaction. It only has a 0.00005553 BTC/KB fee, whereas the viabtc accelerator requires a minimum 0.0001BTC/KB fee for any transaction it accelerates. |

So what price would it have to return to make people feel sad? $900? $800? $700?
This action won't last forever. The question is whether it's just beginning to rev up or run out of steam.
The last all time high in 2013 I did not see any reason why it would not again reach that price. So I spent those years accumulating as many bitcoins as I could. I would think the same if it dropped again. Didn't you sell your house to buy Bitcoins, or was that someone else? If it was, you must be laughing together with that other guy who sold his house for Bitcoins. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=508254.0I did. I am enjoying this rise. I recently found out the contract I am on here in Afghanistan is going away in a month or so. I had originally planned on working out here 2 years and quitting to develop seasteads. I am seriously considering starting a lot earlier. I was searching for your post announcing you sold your house, and finally found it. Congratulations on a wise life changing decision, and dealing with all the trolls and FUD while Bitcoin's price was flat. Sold my house this week. My mortgage was the last thing requiring me to have a bank account. Last mont my landlord started taking bitcoins for rent. He is happy.
Now to get all of that equity into bitcoins quickly.

And bearfinex has now joined bitstamp in breaking the old Gox ATH, but it's still not caught up with bitstamp's $1244 $1245 ATH.
-snip-
Look at this insane buy wall, I haven't seen something similar in a while on Stamp. It's the opposite on bitfinex, there's a massive sell wall, but it's getting eaten anyway. Bitstamp and bitfinex are playing leapfrog with each other for the ATH. By the time you've posted and by the time I've checked Bitfinex, which is less than <30 seconds from your post the wall is already gone. What's our target for today? $1300? I couldn't believe that wall got eaten so fast. I'm hesitant to guess $1300 for today, but the speed the price is moving has me wondering. I'm starting to wonder if we will see 5x the current ATH in the next few months. We haven't had a 2013 style rally in years, it's about time for another. editThere's only ~400 coins for sale up to almost $1300 on stamp.  |

WE are sitting above the price of Gold per Oz and marginally over the Mt.Gox ATH..
A good day all round. Gentlemen.
$1244 on bitstamp! That's the old Gox ATH of $1242 broken, and stamp beat bitfinex to it. I expected bitfinex to get there first.   |

Why not use viabtc Bitcoin transaction accelerator.
does it realy works bro as I am new to this accelerator...I also tried but till now no confirmation yes, I tried their service today! Two tx got delayed for over 25 hours and now they were confirmed after using the service. You could try it. how much time it took for confirmation after you gave a request on viabtc aroud 20 minutes ok...can you do it for me as I tried but not working...do I have to send any donation for confirmation or what? Can you please do it for me on my behalf...Thank you in advance yes, I am doing it now! Will keep you updated Edit: done the acceleration! You wait for it to get confirmed. more than 20 min still no confirmation  You will probably have to wait until the viabtc pool mines a block before your transaction gets a confirmation. How quickly they get one depends on luck. The last block viabtc mined was over two hours ago. You can see a list of the times viabtc mined blocks since 2017-02-24 at this link. https://blockchain.info/blocks/ViaBTCIt could take between minutes to half a day before they mine another block, depending on their luck. |

Can you log into your blockchain.info wallet account? If you can there is a tutorial at the link below explaining how to sweep your blockchain.info wallet into electrum. http://themerkle.com/how-to-recover-your-bitcoins-from-blockchain-info-using-electrum/Another option you might try is using an odffline copy of the page linked below. https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/You need to click the BIP32 tab in it, then enter the line of text below into the BIP32 Derivation Path box, then enter your blockchain.info wallet words into the BIP39 Mnemonic box. m/44'/0'/0' The page will automatically generate a list of private keys that you can import into electrum. It's default is to list 20 private keys, but you can increase that limit by entering the number you want into the "show more rows" box towards the bottom of the page. |

Hello, i want to transfer a few btc addresses from Armory Wallet to Electrum. I have extracted the private keys from Armory : the ones are PrivBase58 and the others are PrivHexBE. After installing the latest official version of Electrum Wallet, using the next chain : Wallet-Private Keys-Sweep-Enter private keys /Electrum let only to enter these with PrivBase58/ i receive only this message: "No inputs found.(Note that inputs need to be confirmed)" What to do  My purpose is to load the balance of the addresses in Electrum and to handle them, because iam out of nerves to wait 5 or 6 days in order Armory to load the blockchain... Are there any spaces in the keys? This quote says you need to remove any spaces before electrum will accept them. Unencrypted PrivBase58 private keys are the only type of keys Armory uses that electrum will import. I've had this issue many times in the past, and it is because of the spaces.
Use the PrivBase58 key (with spaces removed and don't include the prefix 'PrivBase58') and that will import.

Hi, I am facing an issue since yesterday. Indeed, I received some money from a gambling website but the transaction is still unconfirmed for almost 24hours (no blockchain confirmations). I have tried to accelerate it with ViaBTC but the site has too many transactions to handle already. That's why I am asking for you help... I would be so grateful if someone could do something. Thanks ! link : https://blockchain.info/tx/64f18446c5fd465ab3169c66d72ee3838160f139a4bbc8442ff5b9f152509987I just succeeded accelerating your transaction with ViaBTC. It will be included in the next block they mine, so you don't need to do anything but wait now. |

The (alleged) Gox ATH was within a couple of $ of gold parity back in 2013 IIRC.
It's debatable if GOX can be called an ATH, since it was fake coins and you couldn't withdraw coins or FIAT at that time. Er - I think that was me who said that. But I know the issues - hence putting 'alleged' in. What I was saying was if we go above the Gox figure too, we won't need to have the debate any more (at last). Agreed, getting above the Gox ATH will make it, and those arguments, forgotten and irrelevant. An argument over which is the real ATH is like having a pointless childish argument over which of the fonts below is a 2 (BTW the right hand character is a 2).   |

You can use the dumpwallet command in Bitcoin core to get all the private keys in your wallet. The quote below explains it.
the command is dumpwallet you can use it from the terminal and you must give it a full path, e.g.
dumpwallet c:\mykeys.txt
If you have set a password you need to unlock the wallet first. The below command will unlock it for 60 seconds.
walletpassphrase PASSWORD 60
They will be exported unencrypted(!) so be careful.
After you get a list of private keys you can download the electrum wallet, then import them into it. Follow the steps in the quote below to do that. Download electrum 2.6.4 portable from here (because the latest 2.7 versions are buggy). https://download.electrum.org/2.6.4/electrum-2.6.4-portable.exeCreate a new folder and copy electrum-2.6.4-portable.exe into it, then double click it to start the wallet. An install wizard window should open. At the top of it select the "Restore a wallet or import keys" option, then click the "next" button. Another window will open with a box in it that you can type your private key into. After that click the "next" button and another series of windows should open. Leave each window's settings as they are and click the "next" button in each one until the wallet opens. You can leave the password boxes blank, the electrum wallet can work without a password, and its password is not the same as your multibit wallet's password. When the wallet opens it should sync within minutes and show your Bitcoins. You can use it to send them wherever you like. |

You're on linux so bring up 'top' while it's happening, press H to enable thread mode, and see what thread(s) is/are consuming CPU at the time. The bitcoin daemon has lots of threads that are named so you may be able to track which particular thread is consuming CPU and hence figure out what it's doing.
Right, okay. I can give that a shot. So nobody else has experienced similar CPU spikes? Yeah, not that long though. Turned out my node was connected to a service that was pushing several thousand transactions to it every X minutes. If you have a network spike (from a few kbit/s to several mbit/s) at the same times that might be it. A redditer was complaining about high node CPU usage a year ago. He identified a high number of connections correlating with high CPU usage, and speculated it might be due to suboptimally configured nodes pushing dust and spam transactions. His error log was full of nonstandard transaction/dust errors. UdevNull's node's error log might contain the same errors if he's experiencing the same problem. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3xp22r/fully_synced_bitcoin_core_is_using_50_cpu_is/cy6l0oi/
I'm running bitcoind on several different servers, some of them are reachable via a public IP, other aren't.
With public IP:
version v0.11.0, minrelaytxfee=0.00004
CPU fluctuates between 20% and 50%
113 connections
37135 transactions in mempool, 463 MB total
I see a lot of ERROR messages in debug.log
.
2015-12-21 13:51:16 ERROR: AcceptToMemoryPool: free transaction rejected by rate limiter
2015-12-21 13:51:16 ERROR: AcceptToMemoryPool: nonstandard transaction: dust
Without public IP:
version v0.11.1, no config tweaks
CPU usage often stays in 0-2% range,
9 connections
35766 transactions in mempool, 428 MB
very few ERROR messages in debug.log
So it looks like CPU usage correlates with the number of connections. I'm not sure if there is any specific cause (possible causes: old/misconfigured nodes pushing dust & spam transactions; thin clients catching up with the blockchain using bloom queries), or just the sheer number of connections.
You can restrict the number of connection with maxconnections config parameter.

You can submit it for acceleration yourself at the site linked below. However, that site only accepts 100 transactions an hour, and it's over that limit. Try submitting your transaction ID to it in another hour. https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/editThere's no need for you to accelerate it now, the site just accepted it. Your transaction will be included in the next block viabtc mines, if not sooner. |

Everything should be stored in your AppData folder (It's mostly the wallet.dat what you need). %appdata%/Bitcoin
The code above is incorrect, the backslash is slanting the wrong way. Click the windows start button, then copy and paste the line of text below into the search box that appears, then press the enter key to open the folder containing your wallet.dat file. %appdata%\Bitcoin This is what your search box should look like after you have copied and pasted the line above into it.  Backup the wallet.dat file, it's all you need to secure your Bitcoins. If you want to avoid a long wait for your wallet to sync on your new computer, then also copy the entire contents of the folder containing your wallet.dat file into the equivalent folder on your new computer. That will transfer your copy of the blockchain into your new computer's wallet, and make syncing your new wallet much faster. |
