2841  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: how does transaction fees work on: June 30, 2021, 03:55:22 AM
-snip-
But how does it work with Ripple, because if I am not mistaken there are low transaction fees and the transactions take approx 15 minutes
XRP doesn't work like Bitcoin, so comparison between the two should be avoided.
AFAIK, it has no miners and the fees aren't claimed by anyone but forever removed from the total supply;
That removes the competition for a reward and the hard work to claim it; thus, faster transaction speed.

For the speed, their network only relies on validators and transaction can be "approved" through consensus within seconds so it's fast.
I don't want to argue about the security and centralization issues though.

-snip-
now we are in 2021 mabe more solutions exists? I steel not solve my problem, an I still have the same informations the new reinitialized wallet dat without bitcoins I bought before the reinitialisation of the wallet ..
is it possible to use a backup? or debug log? or information of blockchain info?
The new "reinitialized" wallet isn't going to help because it has an entirely different HDseed that will generate entirely different set of keys.
What you need is a backup of the old wallet.dat that you've used to receive the bitcoins.

The only solution I can tell is to use a "file recovery software" to try to restore the old deleted wallet.dat. And hopefully it's still useable.
The main factor that lowers the chance of recovery is if you've been using the drive since it was deleted.

For the file recovery software: you'll have to find a reputable one, the procedures are different per software;
and I'm afraid I can't help you with that (use the software's tutorial if it has one).

By the way, is your Bitcoin core fully synced?
What do you mean by "reset your wallet", because I don't see any option to reset a wallet aside from manually deleting it from the data directory.
2843  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: TX not broadcasted, coins missing on: June 29, 2021, 03:38:08 AM
If "abandon transaction" is available, it means that your transaction isn't included to your own mempool or there's another issue.
And yes, after using that feature, the coins it tried to spend will be available for your next transaction.
The abandoned transaction in the 'recent transaction' or 'transactions' tab will be colored red indicating that it's now removed from your wallet.

You can try to rebroadcast it instead of abandon, but I'd suggest you to abandon and create another transaction instead because it was created while your node isn't fully synced.

(All of that is based from Bitcoin Core, it may be incorrect if they changed that feature in Dogecore)
2844  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Problems with dumping all the contents of an old .dat wallet on: June 29, 2021, 03:23:33 AM
You can import the prv keys in Electrum with a prefix to indicate the script type of the addresses you want to derive.
In Electrum - "Import bitcoin addresses or private keys": add p2wpkh-p2sh: before each of the private keys to import them as '3' addresses; you can leave them without a prefix for '1' addresses.

Example (will produce both '3' and '1' address of the same prv key):
Code:
p2wpkh-p2sh:KxAz8kcuWebno5cjRTWS2i......
KxAz8kcuWebno5cjRTWS2i......

Further, there are two things I really don't understand. If I have a HD wallet, shouldn't I be able to generate an infinite number of addresses? I realize that Bitcoin Core can't print all of them since I don't have an infinite hard drive, but how is it decided which ones that will be shown? Some kind of internal track record of all my transactions? Also, when reading the wiki page about addresses starting with "3", it says "To spend bitcoins sent via P2SH, the recipient must provide a script matching the script hash and data which makes the script evaluate to true." Does this mean that the private key contained in my dump from Bitcoin Core won't be enough?
You can generate an infinite number of keys with your HDSeed but there's no reason to show or preload the rest if you're not needing them.
Bitcoin core will only pre-load 1000 of each of your internal (change) and external keys to its keypool, those are the contents of the dump file.
The address type in the dump depends on the address type you're using in bitcoin core but it's actually capable of using all address type of those keys.

If you import them to Electrum as p2sh-SegWit, it will be able to spend from them since it can easily recreate the redeem script from the private key.
2845  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Who is paying very very large fees when not needed and why? on: June 28, 2021, 03:27:19 AM
WTF?
I noticed that their absolute fee are all too "exact", suggests that they've set the total fee when creating the txns, not the fee rate.
Sender(s) may be unaware that the prioritization is based from the fee rate or doesn't care about the extra fee and most likely using a client that can input/edit absolute fee other than the fee rate.

For example, those first three with 2,291sat/vB (x2) and 822.0sat/vB have a 0.005BTC fee, and some of the rest with extremely high fee looks the same but lower (0.002BTC absolute fee).

I can't agree more.
But I bet he'll insist that it's the right seed phrase. He said it multiple times in his two threads already.

And he also said that it might be the old version corruption bug (perhaps, done in the session when he sent the 2 transactions).
I've already gave up on the finding a solution in my last reply to OP because his situation looks hopeless, aside from his claims and the results are contradicting.
Recovering deleted files from an encrypted drive/OS is troublesome enough, moreover, the flash drive is unavailable:

2847  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Restoring wallet from seed on: June 27, 2021, 02:42:35 AM
Hello, I am trying to restore my electrum wallet from seed but I am not familiar with any of this or the language. I need to restore because I lost my home & ability to use google authenticator to use my electrum wallet. I want to restore and move the bitcoin to another wallet.
-snip-
Based from your other thread, you must have meant "lost your phone" not "home", right?
(looks like somebody got a new phone but forgot to turn off auto-correct :P )

"Two set of numbers"? One must be the "secret key" if there are letters in it, as previously mentioned;
and the other one (if 6digits) must be the fist 2fa code that your got when you set-up the wallet, it's not needed since it always change after a few seconds.
If both are 6digits, you must have kept your previous 2fa codes which are useless for recovery.

Without the seed phrase, you won't be able to do anything to your 2fa Electrum wallet but to monitor its balance.
For now, wait for your new phone and do the procedures to restore your google authenticator there, then use your "secret key" if you have it to restore the 2fa device.
Steps already in the previous thread or in HCP's reply.

Some notes from memory ...
-snip-
Great, everything seems to be accurate.

But the issue is: his current seed phrase (he's positive that it's the correct one) can't restore his previous wallet.
He mentioned that he had upgraded his "E_Tails" using the appimage; and he believe that it's the corruption bug based from the issue's replies (in GitHub).
With those info, it could be the corruption bug.

Or try ( like me) to use the portable (instead of Windows installer) version of Electrum placed into   one of WIN 10 folder (preferably on partition different from that one that holds OS). It carries all dependences and is less affective  to WIN 10 whims. Recommendation to add the access to  relevant folder via "Controlled folder access"  holds on.
Thanks for everyone's help, esp. NC50lc.  I downloaded the portable version, and everything works great right out of the box.  A couple of questions:

Based from your reply, it's xenon131's post that solved the issue.

Anyhow, now it looks like the issue is more of antivirus blocking the installed/stand-alone Electrum's connection and not the Portable Electrum.

The problem is: the Bitcoin network doesn't have power over an Exchange and as previously mentioned, they are the only one who can recover your wrongly sent funds.

With that, you can only check the status of your ticket by replying to the support using your Polionex account's email (or if they have a ticket status page or something, use it).
A follow-up after 3 months+ is reasonable enough.

As already said, you won't be able to modify the "Show new replies to your post" list aside from deleting them (mark all messages as read) one page at a time.

I'd suggest to use the "Watchlist" instead and disable the setting in "Profile->Notifications and Email->Automatically watch topics after replying to them".
That way, you'll have full control on your watch-list as it will disable what's said in the setting.

What is described in the link is absolutely possible that this is actually what I did.

If it's what happened, you can only recover it from the deleted wallet files
because the address' private key might only be recoverable by restoring one of those wallet's seed phrase.

Since your current seed phrase restores an entirely different wallet, restored a couple of times with different configurations, both didn't help;
and if it's really the bug, then there's a high chance that the addresses in your screenshot are actually addresses from a deleted/another wallet file brought by the bug.

Lastly, Electrum developers and public server owners don't have access to users' keys and funds, they wont be able to help even if they want to.
2854  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum to Electrum - transaction "lost" on: June 24, 2021, 09:22:31 AM
One scenario that the corruption bug might happen is when you created the wallet while the "default_wallet" is still active.
Newbies usually create a wallet during Electrum's first "Install Wizard" which is actually wallet creation window, prior to creating his official wallet.
Would you clerify it?    I don't think is somehow related with my problem but I would like to understand it still.
I was thinking that this might had happened to you: issues/5082#issuecomment-461428986
BTW, the first post is the "old version corruption bug" that you've been mentioning in the other thread.

That might be exactly what it is.    
       -Now, restoring from files is out of question.
       - Can I achieve it trying different derivation paths?  - restoring the right private key
No, the bug will produce a wallet based from two different wallet files (with different seeds).
So my suggestion was to get all recoverable wallet files so you can try to restore their seed phrase to the latest version.
Changing the derivation path will only derive a different master key but it's still based from the same seed; not what's described in the issue.

With the current data and the flash drive gone, I have no other suggestions.
2855  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Trying to cool rig with six fans - What's the best method? Corsair Commander Pro on: June 24, 2021, 07:12:52 AM
How do I connect a product like this to my fans? That's where I'm stuck. I see 3 pins coming out for each fan but I have fans with 4-pin Molex connectors..
-snip-
See the plastic part below the pins?
That's what you should follow, your fans' connector should have a specific space where that part fits,
so even if the 4th pin isn't available, as long as the other three are in correct position, the fans will work.

The fourth pin (control) is for speed control, the third (sense) is for speed detection, but that device itself has a speed control switch so the fourth pin isn't necessary.

BTW, the comments about using a regular desktop fan works wonders.

Okay, how about the other addresses, are they the same as the addresses from your newly restored wallet?
No, not at all.  This are different addresses, entirely
Regardless of the answer, by looking at this: electrum/issues/5082 (the corruption bug) and the replies, there's a chance that it could be the case.
If it's really what happened and you've sent the bitcoins to the corrupted wallet file, then the partial solution to this is to restore that wallet file using a file recovery software.
And that would be a problem depending on where you've installed Tails and if it's been active since the incident.

But the real problem is if that recovered wallet can spend from that address, because based from the "issue", the corruption will produce different addresses that aren't covered by your master public key.
Means that your seed can't derive the right private key(s) to spend from them.

- You can try to recover all available possible wallet files in "wallets" folder and get all of the wallets' seed phrase, then use your 'E_Wind' to restore each of them.


One scenario that the corruption bug might happen is when you created the wallet while the "default_wallet" is still active.
Newbies usually create a wallet during Electrum's first "Install Wizard" which is actually wallet creation window, prior to creating his official wallet.

Since the issue's going nowhere from all the "no", recovering every deleted/overwritten Electrum wallet files from Tails' persistent folder it's worth the try.

Note: in case of non-recoverable funds, Electrum developers aren't liable for the missing funds (damages), it's in the software's licence.
2857  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum to Electrum - transaction "lost" on: June 23, 2021, 03:05:34 AM
Here is what I assume:

    The seed has generated in first place a wallet with a different derivation path. The seed has
    generated the wallet while I was offline in Electrum manager - seems like that it was
    generated as a cold wallet/hardware wallet.

Here is why I assume:

    As I type in the same seed in Elcertum wallet & check the BIP39 box & following type the
    derivation path m/44'/0'/0' I get different addresses that I have used, after I updated the
    E_Tails (I see transactions on this addresses), opposed to if I just type in the seed without
    derivation path (there I see only 1 transaction on 1 address).

Here is the catch:

    If I check the BIP39 box and type in any derivation path (I tried planty of them) then Elcetrum
    tells me "checksum failed" & once I go ahead and am already in the wallet: go wallet > seed
        I can't display the seed.
        Where as if I just type in the seed without derivation path, I am able displaying the seed.
Those are the expected behavior of Electrum in those scenarios.

My observations/replies, in respective order:
-
  • Electrum seed doesn't have a specific cold/hot wallet variant, just a seed with "seed version" that also acts as the indicator of the derivation path to use.
    Hardware wallet's seed wont be created by nor stored in Electrum during wallet creation.
    So if it was created by Electrum, then it's what Abdussamad said (multiple times) in the previous thread: you shouldn't force the derivation path selection window by checking "BIP39 seed".
    If it's the mentioned "corruption bug", then there's nothing you can do about it because if the cause is 'corruption' then the result should be 'random'.
-
  • If you ticked "BIP39 seed" and it said "BIP39 (checksum: failed)", Electrum will create a wallet based on the words you've typed regardless if it's a valid BIP39 seed or not,
    that includes the Electrum seed that isn't a valid BIP39 seed.
    So the BIP39 restored wallet doesn't have a relation on the correctly restored one (didn't checked BIP39 seed), they are different wallets despite having same seed phrase.
    That said, why's both wallets have transaction(s) in them, have you been testing the wallets created through "other methods"?
    If not, you might had more than one wallets in your old E_Tails and sent the missing transaction to one of them (already mentioned before).
-
  • Lastly, Electrum doesn't really store the seed phrase of a wallet created with "BIP39 seed" checkbox enabled, even the ones created using a real BIP39 seed.

apology for late respond.

I will answer all the questions in the next 48h
That was a very long 48hours.

So, are addresses of the restored wallets the same except for the missing one?
Refer to my last reply of in that thread:

Okay, how about the other addresses, are they the same as the addresses from your newly restored wallet?
If it's a no, your and this (1st paragraph) scenario is correct
If yes, it's most likely that old version bug or something else.
2858  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: is it possible to extract private keys from a signed transaction file ELECTRUM on: June 22, 2021, 12:16:25 PM
-snip-
So if it's possible to extract the private key from the signature, every unspent transaction in the blockchain should've been stolen by now.
This is a little misleading as those stolen transactions could be stolen again by other people, and then again and again, making the Bitcoin network worthless in the process. It's not a "central party steals all the bitcoins for themselves" kind of thing.
"In the blockchain", I should've said "In the mempool", it'll make more sense.

2859  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [Jun 2021] Mempool empty! Use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs! on: June 22, 2021, 06:55:53 AM
I don't get how is that a "blockchain evidence" since you already know that the transaction is from Houbi exchange and Exchanges always consolidate their users' deposits.
How do you account for the fact that so many miners are sending approximately the same amount to huobi, often on a daily basis?
TheQuin already answered this in his two replies.
Here's a review:
  • Almost all mining pools have a setting where you can set your preferred auto-withdrawal amount, those users have set their value to 0.005BTC.
    Or it must be the widely used default minimum value that's why the number of withdrawals with that amount is higher than the rest. (like F2Pool, Antpool, Poolin, BTC.com, etc.)
  • Most Exhanges sort their inputs (users' deposits) based on their value so when they consolidate, those with the close to similar values are the ones used together as inputs.

Plus, don't take an exchange like a wallet with few available inputs, some of those aren't from miners and we don't have a reliable way to check if all those are from miners, moreover from a single miner just because the amounts are approximately the same.

I think there's no reason for me to extend the discussion about the "blockchain evidence" since your previous reply already answered your earlier post.
This would be more than a theory. There is blockchain evidence that a miner is receiving mining payouts to many addresses. I cannot imagine any good reason to do this, except maybe for privacy reasons, but their consolidating the outputs removes any privacy advantage they had by doing this.
-snip-
One of the addresses that have an input that is part of the above transaction is 1Le7X5MkbXjhEWwBJ3NHzAqFatCvjHMu8h, and it appears this address belongs to Huobi. It appears that Huobi is consolidating their unspent outputs, maybe after reading this thread. It also appears that one or more miners its receiving their withdrawals/payouts from pools to deposit addresses at Huobi.
Like I said, Exchanges always consolidate their users' deposits; and the above.

Is your Windows10 in the latest or at least newer build?
Most of the time, issues with inexplicable reason like this are likely caused by an unknown fault in the OS (since your W7 OS works).

Or try to re-install/update your network adapter's driver in the device manager:
  • Right-click Start icon, select "Device Manager" | or search for device manager.
  • Expand network adapters, and use "right-click>update driver" on your network adapter.
  • If it didn't do anything, reinstall it.

You might also want to remove any installed non-active network adapters that may cause connection issues, "view->show hidden devices".
Hidden devices have light-colored icons.
