quick question regarding any wallet.
When using Electrum or any other wallet to create your address and keys, How can you be sure that the software doesnt store or send your key somewhere?
The best way to be 100% certain is to create a cold storage electrum wallet to hold your Bitcoins on a computer that you never connect to the internet. The tutorial at this link explains how to do it. http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/coldstorage.htmlYou also create a watching only wallet using only your Bitcoin addresses (not your private keys). You let that connect to the internet to see your balances and transactions. When you want to send Bitcoins you create the transaction in the online wallet, sign it in your offline wallet, then broadcast it in your online wallet. The main reason people create cold wallets is in case their computer gets infected with a virus, not any distrust in the safety of electrum's code. Electrum's code is open source, and the community would soon notice if it was changed to do anything malicious with your private keys. It's constantly being reviewed by programmers in the community. |

Post the transaction IDs here if you don't mind making them public. You probably sent them with too low a fee. The Bitcoin network is busier than normal, there are over 55000 transactions waiting to be confirmed, and yours will be at the back of that queue if their fee is too low. Your Bitcoins are not lost, either the network will forget your transactions after a long time, or they will confirm and your Bitcoins will show up in the mycelium wallet. If the network forgets your transactions your Bitcoins will reappear in your electrum. This thread explains your options. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1802212.0 |

Is the trading side of the Moon waiting for March 11th (and by the way the Full Moon is on March 12th) to harvest the fruits of years of sowing? We'll have to wait and see. I am waiting for my seeds to grow to the Moon and for the Moon  Something's happening right now on stamp. There's less than 200 Bitcoins in an ask wall up to $1202, and nearly 500 Bitcoins in a bid wall at $1193. There's little nibbles getting eaten out of the ask wall that starts at $1199. It could soon go above $1200 again. editIt's $1200 on stamp again. |

Multibit is truly awful.
Is electrum able to import the MB wallet or restore it from the "words list" thing?
No, you can't import the multibit HD wallet into electrum using the "words list" thing (wallet words). Both wallets use wallet words, but they generate a different set of addresses from the same wallet words. Electrum generates uncompressed private keys from the wallet words, but multibit HD generates compressed private keys from them, so the addresses the two wallets generate are different. You can import multibit HD wallet words into breadwallet, which is available for iPhones and the latest android phones. Breadwallet won't work on older androids though. If you have an older android phone the post at this link explains how to import multibit HD wallet words into the mycelium wallet, but I'm not sure if it works because I don't know anyone who has tried it yet. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1782552.msg17940974#msg17940974There is a complicated way to extract all the relevant private keys from multibit HD wallet words using a specially crafted offline webpage, then you can import a list of those private keys into electrum to get control back of stuck coins. The quote below explains what to do. |

I think that if the COIN ETF does get approved, any price action leading up to it is kinda irrelevant. What would be more relevant and telling is where the price goes after that, and what it would be by the end of the year.
It being the end of the month and March just a day away, do you still think this ETF will be passed and we will be able to freely purchase them and add to our portfolios now? Or is it all just a bunch of bull and there will be nothing in just less than 2 weeks from now?  I can't guess if the ETF will be passed. However, the FED raised the rate in mid December, right before Bitcoin pumped, and it's due to raise the rate again at about the time the ETF decision is released. If the ETF gets denied Bitcoin will probably pump anyway because of the FED raising the rate, and if the ETF gets approved Bitcoin will probably pump twice as high. |

It's Monday and it hit $1200. It's gonna be a good week.
And it also hit 8000 CNY. That's two nice round numbers for both currencies. I'm hoping they rapidly form a nice support level that we don't go back below again. |

However, one last question ... when I was “poking around” trying to delete the account, it gave me the option of changing the account name from the default “Account 1”, but now I can’t seem to get it to let me change the name. Did that option cease to exist when I backed it up? Of course I can live with that name.
Like I said, I'm not very familiar with mycelium, all I know about changing the account name is on this webpage. It explains labelling your account, although I'm not sure if that's the same as changing its name. http://support.mycelium.com/hc/en-us/articles/207045635-How-do-I-manage-my-accounts-To label your account, press it to select it, and press the tag icon at the top. |

I signed it with coinb.in
I don't think what I did earlier worked. I'm confused about the 2nd screen when it says choose output to deduct an additional fee from though. Can you explain what that means and how it works?
The transaction fee is the difference between the amount spent by the inputs, and the amount sent to the outputs. In order to increase the transaction fee, you either need to add a new input or reduce an output. What this software does it reduces one of the outputs, which you can choose. By default it chooses the last output. I only have one output does that matter? Also what would you suggest I do if the recommended fee amount is more than the output amount? I don't think it matters that you only have one output. The size of your transction is too big for you to pay the 200 satoshis/byte recommended by bitcoinfees, or even 100 satoshis/byte. https://bitcoinfees.21.co/Your transaction's size is 2257 bytes, so if you paid 10 satoshis/byte your total fee would be 0.0002257 BTC (22570 satoshis). You are sending 0.001019 BTC, so you would receive 0.0007933 BTC if you paid a 10 satoshis/byte fee. Bitcoinfees says a 10 satoshis/byte should get your transaction included after another 5 blocks (in about an hour). If you paid a 50 satoshis/byte fee about half of the Bitcoins you are sending would be used for the fee. |

I'm not very familiar with mycelium, but you might need to set a pin, then wait 288 blocks (2 days) before your wallet will let you backup your HD account wallet words. Your wallet won't let you repeat a backup faster as a security measure. This link explains backups. http://support.mycelium.com/hc/en-us/articles/207045535-How-do-I-make-a-backup-To create a backup, either tap the «Secure My Funds» button on the main page, or choose «Backup» from the pop-up menu. You will be shown a list of words, one after the other. Write those words down with pen & paper. You will then be asked to retype the words to confirm that they were written down correctly.  Once the backup has been completed, you cannot see your word list again unless you have a PIN set. This is to prevent others from getting to your current or future funds, should they get access to your phone. *snip* After setting a PIN and a waiting time of 288 blocks (2 days) you can create additional backups of your HD accounts  The github says the wallet file location is probably /data/data/com.mycelium.wallet/databases/walletbacking.db However, you won't be able to see it unless your phone is rooted. https://github.com/mycelium-com/wallet/issues/233Its in the app-data folder - it will be probably /data/data/com.mycelium.wallet/databases/walletbacking.db (but might be in a different base folder, depending on your phone version and setup).
Its a sqlite database file - there are various programs out there to inspect them.
But if the masterseed would be there, then mycelium would also pick it up and just start normally. According to this thread your wallet file should be getting deleted each time you uninstall and reinstall mycelium. I never tried it, so I can't confirm whether it's correct. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=788172.0 |

Yeah please don't quote that anti semitic loon, I think most of us have him on ignore already - report and move on  On topic: moving on up? Market doesn't seem ready to break down The fiat's flowing back into the exchanges now it's Monday, and those wire transfers are getting processed again. I think $1200+ is incoming soon. |

Yes, here's what I see  Ok I think I got it. Is that what I'm supposed to see in the software when it's done?  Yes, that looks right, but how did you sign the transaction in electrum with a greyed out sign button, or did you sign it with coinb.in? |
|
|
|
I was able to get it to the next screen by switching to portrait mode. Where do I copy the unsigned version into Electrum?
I went to load transaction ------> from text but it says Status: unsigned . Transaction unrelated to your wallet
Is electrum's "sign" button greyed out? |
|
|
|
|
You could try repeatedly pressing your tab key until the focus is on the "set fee" button, then pressing the tab key one more time, then pressing your enter key.
Most software lets you change which button is focused using the tab key, and simulates you pressing that button with your enter key.

I haven't been able to use the software to create a new raw transaction because when I enter the stuck raw transition I can't see the button's to proceed on this screen  I've tried adjusting the screen but I can't get the lower part to show That's quite a large transaction that you have there. You have to make the window as large as possible as JavaFX does not automatically scroll the window apparently when there are too many things on it. I've expanded the window to cover my entire screen and the farthest I can view is what is in my screenshot Any other suggestions? Can you adjust the resolution of your screen to a higher resolution? |

Yes, I'm using the latest version of electrum.
I'm not sure what's going on either. I've literally spend 10+ hours trying to figure this out.
I can't withdraw coins I have elsewhere until I figure out how to confirm this transaction
Have you successfully used achow101's software to create a new raw transaction with a higher fee? If you have then you could use the page below to sign your raw transaction instead of using electrum. https://coinb.in/#signIt's always best to use anything like that offline. You can download the files for that page at the link below and run it offline (or in a virtual machine if you want to be extra safe). https://github.com/OutCast3k/coinbin/archive/master.zipIf you want to scan the zip file for viruses you can upload it to the page below that will scan it with about 50 different virus scanners. https://www.virustotal.com/ |

In my wallet both sign and broadcast are greyed out
I'm not sure if it's an electrum bug or if you did something wrong. The electrum github link below is about a greyed out buttons bug. I thought it was fixed, and I don't have any Bitcoins out of cold storage to test with. https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/2113There was also another bug that made electrum incompatible with coinb.in raw transactions, but again I thought it was fixed. https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/1811Are you using the latest version of electrum (2.7.18)? |

The screenshots below show you how to load a raw transaction in electrum and sign it.   The sign button is greyed out in the final screenshot because that transaction's already signed.  This is the raw hex of your original stuck transaction. 010000000f08ab9433d75759ec0a2e6d5def7243dbdcc0e282ef3f2971ff94ecc21e87480d00000 0006a473044022048dc4e9d8988184819a20c3bd505f37b314f17b0321018f4eca841ad33c51f0f 022066dbfbd80a8241a7117a5df5750eaeeb1fe3decd21e3129ad0cbf2206b3b59660121026b208 bd349c2581acfada3a610722152f2ee5e96c34536ebbd85715f0cc247d3ffffffff1497cf1b9266 a4baddd713ac130b0d29cb5677d7c6d36285b109db02becc5422000000006b4830450221008847b 8eb98dc533a6528d5e6e02b9919b34bce74b4d300bc775981aefc50649b02202505feb6eab82c38 a7546d2a08f0dae89b05f5c0f05a15951e1c931e0be006340121033bafcbfc8ba7d2d9372bd44b2 797fa114b2362e2198f9dd941df1434cca2421fffffffffd1b0b35557b71b35519b30d1c7e77111 475702174c13439371753763e33ddf2d000000006a47304402207ecc86880db2f6db8ff39d787e9 c22e4b6c52e51e379feb867a56653eaf1e46b0220470e19a54c12b2f79b079723e3fcfc98aafcd6 d3cc24d8505616038bb4149fcd0121024f8415f9407e0abffcc326cdfbee25ddf57b5542489906e 826bfb01c3a5629c0ffffffffcb295198cbc3c989be3e80a46962bb53b0cbc7992e2e7b978fb2ea 30d1b59039000000006b4830450221008f496ce7b0a13ac093dd0dc87c5e7bd57b91bb9dfdab84f 7ae44298994c9bd8802205c7d4afa0bb85eef0ca9057c9012b2f038d1da326f867ce2579ab18e19 d9bd36012103702d7ebc674f468980e3eaecbfb7a3c88134e98b95e1f87d6040e8877c0cafd1fff fffff8a96047fbef45b790a4372a3b42bfc6e7dcb1155f327f064eefe8d5227bcbc39000000006b 483045022100949d58e6a6650170aa4cc73e08547b6e644da34739ebf8a47344e16619d4e0d7022 031869100c4f4692edc64d3ccd5c8fbcc1e493ae59d5779ad810700e5f4172c45012103f08d4a09 ce4282e7224b7234ee71648bf84c54c180c810813e6720f5210c7be1ffffffffffaa7cfbe3ef803 9b73f9e8475d5f2ccb47e627203c1254f6832e60485ad3f5c000000006a47304402207a1d50b0ff 9146116bf729f1ef5b5b222c2d26375b234789bfd413b47fc010b102203c30b6a5ff230765f984e 9d0a708a63a261edfeccad9e1f4f72b685524c3f13a012102d78f2eb968476bd44f5fa9e7916764 4b22b78eae6800d3314ece5aa8437999abffffffff29fd63f1a8b4f6d3e702a5616fb424ac2bf3a 47603e775ebaf0510f3e8bb1e9c000000006a473044022013797128cfe986ccd6475a3a4631f8c3 2993978062bcb32c4dd832442124cd57022032e1ef0edb24feefef4ef5f60c109fa2e54f9067960 ba398604fb47df0aef2cc012103aeef33357b00f9b59a68f2db1183acc87fd297ff3c81abec3ba9 df87b2fe0048ffffffff5c40eb64b596345f7f4b68fa52f182ff252f987f72e871979f5b5bd163f c1db0000000006b483045022100d17c83d612748ad530ee1c32efe60cbf559aa92aa2e287bcc146 0688823f9a4f0220189d93cb319407ca7f5f265da5622c2113405c9933d7d5a6709d220c3bb1467 00121029c2a3646177246d70fa0c0bf152416ad61ffadd3158e03dfec310f5ab32cb41effffffff feda6cdbf92b1d273679c79383c35774fa93bc2f169d2fd8a1efcb81c02b92b3000000006b48304 5022100c6364a60bf4fefef8faf54febbaea4ceb31fe95351cb01add3eac93a2b52732b02206808 5ddd81b00fa8ec748bb1b9fa6630212e2a592cf05802bb25c027ac0d01bb01210228a7fe0b4dadb 221559d26b2219e6dfa9456b05a07f20ecf2dee5cd4b265d4c2ffffffff95f2de60a9afc1354b64 8a3f463a9c85851517bfe0edf2b07436db4b897c89ba000000006a47304402204ab55442d87c482 16928ddd7a68e5e097d033dd81b0ee8ab54cb5e12c19b94de02204d22ca245b1f81e59e9235779a b58a42bdd01caf808c78b478ea5ecadbf9fea80121033fb9c6390636469a76ccfbde60a87ec306e f13f829023e4b18a862999ab695b8ffffffff8d561d275648e7a3eb9118e394cbe765ca4561f1da ff0e29f8ebe41c70ea1dc8000000006a4730440220023efa931499d286da770e281138267a230f4 714870ec47259c540eeb3a602bc0220635d07f40ab77fdd5a880b1b41959e7806589f4f88ca7959 d2e10cba717f20fa012103e8017ac69a677f05f963199e421caca136496cbc441f20829b0ef2fca 46d6ce2ffffffffe72ff979f08076b0569d8bf6b90a1db81239c8eb938bdbd15fa8762f1f52a8c9 000000006a47304402207608ce1b1d668fc9f12f3e465585766bd501cf823928b20ce84c86d6dbb a137f022016340db53a6f333a266a791aa2479b24c1e2b52b2988793143c8e967eea062d4012102 76e6a224e624056ad6122360d7ba7d0c7dddf698017aebe1cf335798aeac167bffffffff9f48d1b e8f9af3dd2a26297985baeb46a96dd0d04da3c4906906a5698871fad6000000006b483045022100 b6fcb1cd20c682e9008826271729e469a25be32677d25b59c4c2f3ddd95791ce02206538efc5982 277f4bd0b301bfefa5bcea27dbc19e1dbc6f19d216e8b870f527c01210243174b3cd92dd2f2a654 8a4465353bab97c5fb3d5c42f33f3a7d2928b7d02c9effffffff55c2e485a4e83aa098cfba5aa17 d2162a7cc6eb54158be3c58fe44b16389fdda000000006b4830450221008f637e8a9deb20110d87 6b1c7a2f2ee515ed23ae06a55ddcdb1284c3d5cbb36002200ec27e5bc61428bf4006710b3d37fc5 e22ead365d7048c92709a768e9091a2e70121026ae388e81787c8b2cc2cca3cbccad18e98c5f1be 8589b01e76134e93a04f620fffffffff1b2db37a405db97423269edea7745d0a891eef062c05bc4 4385c48edc0070df6000000006b483045022100cd7c26dc674ef2814e649d13c8d5ac8b901e45bf 1bba394e476a8a94b6d0a60a02205f9b71b75c40c1eb67473c372763f8816272f6ebaf5c3fcdc20 98a6ed22e04da01210313d1a68269086f63d3087e06f04e42a99035aae1af6b7d3b2a074ff8ffe2 a948ffffffff0144890100000000001976a914ee82ec05c72fe9b6597c40a3526b1b54a5ad26448 8ac00000000 It's available at this link. http://btc.blockr.io/api/v1/tx/raw/36015f2e98874e3e1fce406ba5a388d09170a0a7156fb633c1ec2c9d9c3cd8b2 |

how do you open the program? When I click on Feebooster.jar file it asks me to extract everything which I already did not load program
Does the file you are double clicking look like the one highlighted in the screenshot below?  Have you got java installed on your computer? The software can't run without java. You can download java from this site. https://java.com/en/download/I didn't have Java installed. Thanks Now I've entered my txid on the first screen. What do I do on this screen?  How do I sign with Electrum as well? Will you be using electrum to sign your new transaction? The bitcointalk image proxy wont show images uploaded to imageshack.com If you upload your image to the site linked below it will be viewable on bitcointalk. https://postimage.io/ |

Thanks for the reply
I'm not sure how to get the software mentioned to work. I downloaded it any extracted all the files but don't see any .exe files to use
You need java installed on your computer before the transaction fee booster will work. You can download a java installer at this link. https://java.com/en/download/After you install it you get the transaction fee booster working by double clicking the FeeBooster.jar file, not an .exe file. The file highlighted below starts the transaction fee booster working.  |
