2861  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Coinbase Wallet - Is my $ lost because I pressed this one button (dangerous)? on: June 22, 2021, 03:29:56 AM
Have you had success logging back in? I have the exact same issue. Have used Coinbase and Coinbase Pro, have login info but was never given seed phrase and was kicked out when the app was updated.
"Coinbase Wallet" app is not the same as "Coinbase" so having the log-in credentials wont help on recovering the former.
However, since you're using Coinbase, then you can just log-in to the site/app since you have your log-in info.

Or do you mean "Coinbase Wallet"? If that's the case: It's a non-custodial wallet;
being non-custodial, Coinbase doesn't have access to your backups and you really need the seed phrase (backup phrase) to restore it.

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.
You mean something like this? (coinbase transaction with lots of outputs): 0000000000000000046fafea54ec57f8b1d030e74d0d15545e0534fbd6e02f4d
I am referring to txid d3cccd9d47798f9e26f9a95d4ebc2da651d66e606154284afaed013bbaad4850.  All inputs are from what appear to be unique addresses, and all are in the amount of 0.005318xx BTC, or 0.005317xx BTC. The inputs appear to be payout addresses from mining pools.
Ah, so it's a totally different kind of transaction.
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.

TheQuin is on point, most consolidation transactions by Exhanges (even the ones that I use) have almost identical input values.

That was a mining pool that had been directly sending the block rewards to its miners.
This old pool is one of the example (that transaction is one of theirs): btc.com/stats/pool/Eligius
check the older block heights because most of the newer ones have "normal" coinbase transaction.
2864  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: is it possible to extract private keys from a signed transaction file ELECTRUM on: June 21, 2021, 03:09:26 AM
-snip- lets say online pc is compromised is it possible to extract by anyone private keys form the signed transaction file.Huh?
This is fully answered but I would like to add an example why this wont happen.

That signed transaction file contains the same data stored in your blockchain mempool and can even be queried using a blockexplorer using an address, TXID, etc.
So if it's possible to extract the private key from the signature, most transactions in the blockchain mempool should've been stolen by now.
2865  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: WALLET ADDRESS, IS IT PERMANENT? on: June 21, 2021, 02:49:37 AM
Here's a tip: In Electrum, if you see any "(?)" or "Info", click it to know about that feature's function.

Given that, here's the help tooltip of the "Expires after" drop-down menu (not available in older versions):


Pretty much everything that's mentioned in this thread.

From the app navigate to:
Help -> Debug window -> console
-snip-
That's (from?) an outdated tutorial. The 'debug window' menu under 'help' has been unavailable since October 2018: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14573
In the later versions, the (debug) node window can be launched in "Window->Console"  Wink
2867  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum Not Connecting to Any Server on: June 20, 2021, 04:20:51 AM
-snip-
I seem to be out of options.  Any ideas?
I recently had an issue with connecting to servers with domain names, can only use the servers that are IP addresses, maybe you're experiencing the same?
I think it had something to do with DNS cache and solved itself after a few days.

To check if it's the same issue:
Look for the "status" in the Network settings; to open it quickly: click the (red) connection circle icon.
If it has at least 1 connected node (but not to the selected server) you can temporarily use any of those "connected nodes" (IP addresses) as server.
To select, right click on it and select "Use as server".
2868  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How can I start Bitcoin Core on Windows without a GUI? on: June 20, 2021, 04:01:51 AM
How can I start Bitcoin Core on Windows without a graphical user interface, i.e. only the thread that synchronizes the blockchain? Is there even a way to start the GUI minimized (in the system tray)?
For the GUI, these are the settings that you'll need (under "Settings->Options..._>Window"):


If you want to start bitcoind:
  • Go to the location where the "daemon" folder is, already pointed in the other replies.
  • Now, in that folder, Hold 'SHIFT' and 'right click' on an empty space inside windows explorer (while nothing is highlighted/selected),
    a right-click options will be displayed, select "Open command window here" and cmd will open that's already started with that directory.
  • Lastly, type: bitcoind and it will start.

In newer Windows10 versions, "cmd" has been replaced by "PowerShell" in the right click menu of Windows explorer or start menu.
If you'll use that instead of cmd, type ./bitcoind instead.

If you want a shortcut, you can create a ".bat" file that you can double-click to start bitcoind:
  • Create a new text file in the daemon folder: "Right-click->New->Text document"
  • Edit it and type bitcoind, save and exit.
  • Rename the "New Text Document.txt" into "any_name_you_want.bat", the important part is the extension.
  • You can create shortcuts for you to link to start of desktop:
    "Right-click on the .bat file->Create shortcut" or "Right-click on the .bat file->send to->Desktop (create shortcut)"
Then you can use that to start bitcoind without manually launching command prompt.

This is positive news. Obviously I need to be careful who I give this drive to for recovery. I'm tempted to give it a go myself by finding the right PCB and swapping it over. How much better is the professional software vs the consumer stuff at recovery?
If you can remember if it was detected by your PC (can be seen in the BIOS/UEFI), then the chance that the PCB at fault is low.
But I wouldn't suggest to reconnect a mechanically damaged drive to a computer as it may introduce more damage.
If it's the internal mechanism, then you'll definitely need a professional to do the job since it needs an enclosed contaminant-free space and specialized tools to repair.
Take note, do not seek the typical "tech repair guy" but someone specializes in hard disk drives.

It's your decision, you must consider the fact that you're not certain that you've set the miner correctly or successfully mined a block.
2870  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BTC Retrieval (Not BS) on: June 18, 2021, 02:20:36 PM

Note that, even if you recovered the file, it's possible (likely?) that you added a password when you first ran the software. If that happened, then after you recover the wallet.dat file, you won't be able to access the bitcoins until you can remember (or guess) what password you used.
-snip-
Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't wallet.dat encryption introduced in late 2011 Bitcoin version 0.4.0?
If so, the chance that it's unencrypted is high and would increase his confidence on proceeding to recover the data.
2871  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Way to know number of multisig if you did not set it up? on: June 17, 2021, 06:15:58 AM
-snip- Now the question is was it an honest mistake or was someone planning to run with the BTC.
Setting wrong the slider into 2 of 3 could happen in most cases but during the steps of pasting the cosigners,
I doubt that they wont notice that it'll only require two additional cosigners while making a "M of 4" MultiSig wallet.

Moreover, the chance that all four cosigners happen to wrongly set the sliders into 2 of 3 is way too slim,
if it's only one cosigner, then the addresses he'll get will be different from the rest of the cosigners.

I'd say that the wallet wasn't created by accident.
2872  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin Core wallet.dat restore shows wrong amount. on: June 17, 2021, 05:48:40 AM
FYI - I found an old backup of the wallet on my work laptop of all places and its file name gave me a clue about the correct pass phrase and after 30 tries or so I got it.  Smiley
Congratulations,
you might want to contact the service where you've given the other wallet.dat because he might still be working on its password.

There's a "lock topic" button below (lower-left) if you think this thread's issue is solved.

Is there any way a password can recover if forgotten -snip-
That totally depends on the wallet,
if it's a "custodial wallet" or "custodial service", then it's their customer support or recovery page if they have one.
Example of those are: Exchanges, some mobile wallets and most online wallets.

If it's a "non-custodial wallet", it's up to your own effort to recover your password.
Options mainly involves bruteforcing of the password or using other forms of backup like "seed phrase" to re-create the wallet.
Example of those wallets are: Hardware wallets, Bitcoin Core, Electrum, Mycelium, some online wallets like Blockchain.com.

2874  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin Core 0.21.1 rediculous window width (bug?) on: June 15, 2021, 04:50:05 AM
-snip-
UPDATE:

A pull request was made that fixes this issue.

https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui/pull/365

Apparently, there's supposed to be an eye symbol next to the transactions that shows the full addresses in a tooltip or something like that, and restores the window length to normal. This PR makes it always visible, effectively fixing this bug.
I think the "eye symbol" is an indicator that the transaction is for the wallet's watch-only addresses, thus not the actual fix.
The pull request name didn't indicated the fix but one of its commits does: /commits/d476f41d5f16e3f9f6f59f358cb5649657081384

Why? Guess you'll have to wait until it's finished since you've already started it.
Is your blockchain pruned?
No it was pruned to dump at 2GB by default now am downloading it fully hopefully prevent future troubles like this. Or is there a way to prune without the full download?
Ah, so that's why you've resync.
What I'm thinking is it might be not necessary depending on the cause of the issue.

But since resync is already initialized, there's nothing you can do but to finish it, and hopefully that might fix the issue.
2876  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: My transaction has been unconfirmed for over 12 hours because of low fees on: June 14, 2021, 03:41:22 AM
Status: 0/unconfirmed, not in memory pool
This is going to be a problem. It looks like your client has created the transaction, but it is only stored locally in your wallet file. It has not been broadcast (or it was rejected when your client attempted to broadcast it), nor is it in the mempool of your local node waiting to be broadcast. It's possible that it's been invalidated by inputs being used/double spent in other transactions.

In Bitcoin Core, if you goto the console ("Window -> Console") and use the following commands:
Code:
getrawtransaction 1d66b0f1a56e7b45c9390491513c39bdf2b3d2a76d346dfee919992c6dcfa835
If it's not in his mempool nor blockchain, but he's using the GUI (bitcoin-qt)
he can use right-click menu of the transaction in the 'transactions' tab and select "Copy raw transaction" to get the raw transaction.

But you're right, I think there's a bigger problem somewhere since the transaction wasn't broadcast.

Can you try to use "-zapwallettxes" to remove those unconfirmed transactions or to clear up your core wallet.
If it's not in his mempool, he can just abandon it, it's one of the options in the same right-click menu (clickable for "not in mempool" txns).

I tried resync error so I'll reindex and start all over. Thanks

2877  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin Core 0.21.1 rediculous window width (bug?) on: June 14, 2021, 03:28:52 AM
The issue occurs when you have a transaction in the "Overview" tab that has multiple recipients.
Sending or receiving to multiple addresses will just add multiple entries per output (address) in that tab.
Just did,check my above post and the latest image,everything working correctly on 0.21.1 when installed from the Snap store as I said above.
Your 'Overview' tab's recent transactions are displaying 'labels' (eg. User1) instead of addresses and the bug is caused by those addresses' length.
And most importantly, those aren't your own addresses, "Payment to yourself" transactions have an icon with two arrows pointing on opposite direction,
yours are only upward indicating that those are "Sent to" transactions.
Those info are already explained in post number2.

To properly reproduce it, use your own addresses (from receive tab), do not add any label and do not use any your wallet's address with label to make sure that the transaction will display your addresses in the recent transactions.
2878  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin Core 0.21.1 rediculous window width (bug?) on: June 13, 2021, 02:04:35 PM
I don't have any BTC as I just created it,but I added three recipients and everything is looking ok,when you add more the window stays the same,only the elevator to the right goes down.
The issue occurs when you have a transaction in the "Overview" tab that has multiple receipients.
Sending or receiving to multiple addresses will just add multiple entries per output (address) in that tab.

To properly reproduce it, follow this (use RegTest/Testnet, not Mainnet for testing):
  • Get two or more addresses from the "Receive" tab.
  • Go to "Send" tab of the same wallet and click "+Add Receipient" to add more "PayTo" fields.
  • Paste the addresses in each PayTo field and enter the amounts you prefer, then finish creating the transaction.

One scenario where that example could happen is when a user consolidates his inputs (send all to self) by using two of his own wallet's receiving addresses as outputs.
2879  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: details for bitcoin core sendtoaddress method on: June 13, 2021, 10:48:58 AM
1) if I set "subtractfeefromamount" to false, fee deducted from where? and How is fee calculated?

2) for example , if i have 2 bitcoin in my wallet, and the user withdraws one bitcoin, the rest coin (one bitcoin - fee) how calculated (utxo) ?
It's always "false" by default and the fee should be covered by the input,
if its value isn't enough, Bitcoin core will have to include your other inputs or select the one with the right value,
otherwise, it will return with an error: "Insufficient funds"

Quote from: ayza_aa
3) consider the above example, I want the rest coin return to the new address (different from the source address (HD wallet)), Is there a way?
Use sendmany (0.21.0/rpc/wallet/sendmany) instead of sendtoaddress and enable "subtractfeefromamount" for the "new address" to make sure that it wont generate a change address.
The tricky part is to set the correct amount up to the last satoshi, if it was set with lower amount, a change output will be added.

For example (RegTest):
Code:
sendmany "" "{\"bcrt1qk3hqnujdex64v045qdh7df28vywg5rwtdzj008\":1,\"2Mu9fzGjgnuvCrAJ1cuAu1vZGfDVzHZNHKU\":18.10239312}" 1 "comment" "[\"2Mu9fzGjgnuvCrAJ1cuAu1vZGfDVzHZNHKU\"]"
  • bcrt1qk3hqnujdex64v045qdh7df28vywg5rwtdzj008 - user's address that you'll pay.
  • 2Mu9fzGjgnuvCrAJ1cuAu1vZGfDVzHZNHKU - your "new address" from other wallet that will receive the rest of the balance.

The example wallet's balance is 19.10239312 RegTestBTC, so the values of the outputs are 1 and 18.10239312 respectively.
But the final sent amount to 2Mu9fzGjgnuvCrAJ1cuAu1vZGfDVzHZNHKU is only 18.10238080 RegTestBTC because it's set with subtractfeefromamount flag "true".
2880  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: who is the wallet issuer on: June 13, 2021, 03:35:10 AM
I don't get the "issuer" part.
The addresses issued by an exchange is created from the private key of their bitcoin wallet software (eg.: Bitcoin core, other software or their own implementation of Bitcoin).

If you're looking for a way to tell if any random address belongs to an exchange or wallet, the one suggested by Bitcoin_Arena will work in some instances.
But not all services and exchanges are named, you'll mostly get "Wallet [NNNNNN]" names.

Note: It doesn't work like there's an "issuer data" or something but using "Blockchain Analysis" so the result you get can be false specially if the address was a part of a "CoinJoin" transaction.

note: I already know about https://bitcoinwhoswho.com/
Sometimes, I can't access the site but AFAIK, it used walletexplorer.com's API for the "Wallet Name" field. But now it always blank "-".
The "Tags" are submitted by users and will be added whether there's a proof or not (so you shouldn't trust that site's tags fully).
