Cheers!
ill try again in an hour!
just to clarify... it is just the fee that isn't high enough, nothing to do with Electrum wallet?
Will update if anything changes
Thanks again,
It's just the fee that isn't high enough, nothing to do with Electrum. The site linked below will tell you the best fee to pay. It checks how many unconfirmed transactions there are and works it out for you. https://bitcoinfees.21.co/This is what it recommends at present. The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 200 satoshis/byte, shown in green at the top.
For the median transaction size of 226 bytes, this results in a fee of 45,200 satoshis.
Please note that many wallets use satoshis-per-kilobyte or bitcoins-per-kilobyte, so you may need to convert units. See our instructions for more details. In the electrum preferences you can decide what fees to pay.  If you check the Dynamic fees check box electrum guesses the best fee to pay, and you can adjust a slider depending on how fast you want your transaction confirmed. If you don't check that check box you can decide what fee to pay yourself by checking the "set transaction fees manually" check box, and putting a fee per KB figure in the text box next to where it says "transaction fee per kb". There are other things you can do in some situations. The electrum documentation explains them. http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#my-transaction-has-been-unconfirmed-for-a-long-time-what-can-i-doMy transaction has been unconfirmed for a long time. What can I do?
Wait for a long time. Eventually, your transaction will either be confirmed or cancelled. This might take several days.
Increase the transaction fee. This is only possible for ‘replaceable’ transactions. To create this type of transaction, you must have enabled ‘Replace by Fee’ in your preferences, before sending the transaction.
Create a ‘child pays for parent’ transaction, with a generous fee. A CPFP is a new transaction, that compensates for the small fee of the parent transaction. It can be done by the recipient of the funds, or by the sender, if the transaction has a change output. noteThe preferences window shown is from an older version of electrum, newer versions have a different layout. |

I tried to speed up your transaction by submitting it in the website page linked below. That page is provided by the viabtc mining pool, which includes submitted transactions in the next block it mines. https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/However that page will only accept 100 submitted transactions an hour, and it was over that limit when I tried to submit yours.  If you wait an hour then submit your transaction ID in that page your transaction might get accepted and speeded up. According to blocktrail your transaction included a fee of 0.00050262 BTC/KB, so the viabtc transaction accelerator should accept it. The minimum fee transactions it accepts include a 0.0001 BTC/KB fee. https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/69cb9daa39166ab2b0b5ab3ce5b7687d2ed3a8242d9032e7066ba81a8f2603ca |

Bitstamp ATH?  Are we expecting a new wave of FOMO now? This is it gents. Bitstamp ATH broken, next up Bitfinex and then Gox ATH  What's the Gox "official" ATH? $1242 according to bitcoinity. https://bitcoinity.org/markets/mtgox/USD First we have to break the bitfinex ATH at $1175. The question now is what will the silly graphic at bitcoinity be when the bitfinex ATH breaks? |

The question is: what will this silly graphic at bitcoinity be when the ATH breaks?
It's bender from Futurama this time.  I prefer bender to the Sesame Street character they used at $200.  However, the spaceman at $1000 was an appropriate choice.  |

Why on Earth would any self respecting exchange permit a publicly traceable BFX coin to be sold? I think the hacker's wee plan might grind to a halt fairly rapidly. Indeed. If he's sending them back to exchanges then perhaps we can await his arrest pretty soon. And which exchange would knowingly accept tarnished coins and put themselves at risk of further NSA investigation? Whatever he does, a dump at exchanges is his least likely action. So, more train and rocket gifs please. Someone in that thread "claims" 30 BTC from the hack were sent to OKCoin, an exchange that's frozen BTC withdrawals for the next month. He says he's tracking the coins on a list on github that's supposedly of Bitcoins from the hack. There's only about 784 Bitcoins in total on it. The market would barely notice a 784 Bitcoin dump, and it appears less than 100 of those coins have been deposited anywhere. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/5vr8xg/confirmed_120000_bitcoins_from_the_bitfinex_hack/30 BTC are confirmed so far to have gone to OKcoin I read somewhere that nobody except bitfinex knows all the addresses from the hack, and there's nothing on that github page that says how the author knows those are bitfinex hack addresses. https://gist.github.com/MrChrisJ/4a959a51a0d2be356cc2e89566fc1d87This is the most pertinent post from that reddit thread. FUD FAKE NEWS Agreed The bitfinex hack was last summer, and yet that github list of addresses was only posted on 27 Jan 2017. Googling the first address on it gives no information linking it to the hack, only a small list of links to block explorers. 1D38A8TJHAQfEGdoirE1WpXPEh7NMNHT5L Early this year someone made an unsuccessful attempt to start a panic dump by claiming the hacked coins had started moving. It's the same fake news again. |

I heard that they were checking for EDR,but on documents I've never heard before
thats why, i was thinking whats wrong why those docs needed. however i am still provide it, but no response given afterward. therefore, i have to open up this topic to let the admin concern regard my issue. I have never heard of yobit requesting all those documents before either, but its rules page does have a clause that says it can ask for documents if it gets complaints of theft from payment systems. The clause is in section 6 "Rules of funds withdrawal" on this page. https://yobit.net/en/rules/In case of complaints from payment systems (burglary and theft) Yobit has the right to freeze the account and request documents for verification. |

Stamp's now at $1148 for the first time in years, only $15 short of Bitstamp's ATH. How long until it's at over $1200? My guess is before the end of February.

After much research, I found the answer to my problem. The only way to cancel and rebroadcast my transaction is to double spend it, which is aparrently pretty tricky to do. So looks like I'm just gonna have to wait it out. Just tried that bitcoin transaction accelorator at viabtc. Anyone know if it works? I'm reading good things..
It works, provided your transaction includes a minimum 0.0001BTC/KB fee, and less than 100 other transactions were submitted by others in the hour before you submitted yours. With the Transaction Accelerator for delayed transactions, users can submit any TXID that includes a minimum 0.0001BTC/KB fee to ViaBTC. We will prioritize to include in the next block when possible at no extra charge.
A maximum of 100 TXs submitted can be accelerated every hour. If you search for your transaction id at the website linked below it will tell you the size of the BTC/KB fee your transaction includes. https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC |

I know this may seem like a simple one, but why would you want to open an international account (U.S Citizen here) when you could just go ahead and use your own account from the U.S? Is there something I'm missing here or is this for a certain niche of people who are having an issue?
Thanks guys.
One good reason is that banks sometimes close accounts that do wire transfers to Bitcoin exchanges for no other reason than being related to Bitcoin. You can have a free online account from a bank listed in this thread for Bitcoin exchange wires transfers, and also your existing bank account for non-Bitcoin related transactions. If your free online account gets terminated without explanation for doing wire transfers to Bitcoin exchanges you still have your other account for everyday transactions. The quote below is from a thread that lists Bitcoin hostile, and friendly banks. I only included the top of the hostile bank list because it's enough to convey how hostile to Bitcoin some banks are. Although that particular list is for banks hostile to Bitcoin businesses, they can be just as hostile to normal customers. To qualify on the list a bank or payment processor must without explanation terminate or refuse business of legitimate bitcoin busineses. Australia: Commonwealth Bank of Australia CurrencyFair ( Website) - CurrencyFair denies the application for any business having anythinng to do with bitcoin.
OzForez.com.au - Denids the application of any business having anything to do with bitcoin.
Canada: The Royal Bank of Canada ( Link) BMO - CanadaBitcoins was accepting cash deposits here, but accounts closed due to AML/KYC Requirements. Link.
- CanadaBitcoins no longer accepting cash deposits at all to BMO, verified or not. Link.

Stamp just passed resistance and nothing more than a golf clap around here.  I think that there is a difference between making a new three year high and "passing resistance" When I think about passing, I think about going past it.. above and beyond and maybe even having a bit of a cushion, with either time or price. In this case, we passed it for only about 5 minutes at most, and it was above and below and above and below... I still do think that our odds are pretty strong to shoot into the $1200s in the coming hours or even in the coming days... .. yet continued slow, is not bad, either.. I mean can you imagine going slowly up to $1500 or something like that? Seems like a long shot now, but it would be an interesting (and probably less likely) phenomenon if price rises were to play out like that, this time. If the 790 Bitcoin ask wall on stamp gets eaten the next big wall starts at $1196 and ends at $1200. Getting into the $1200s soon is increasingly plausible. Stamps just gone back up to $1141, the buying pressure isn't slowing. |

Is it significant that itBit is now the USD volume leader according to bitcoinity? I don't know for certain if bitcoinity includes itBit's OTC sales in its volume calculation, but I expect it does. Big OTC buys could be the reason its suddenly in first place.
I can't imagine any charting site would include OTC stuff. They'd be all over the place and I'm sure such sites don't necessarily want to publicise sales. That would go against everything OTC is about. Itbit seems to make a big appearance every now and then and then disappear once more. After some Googling I found out that itBit used to keep its OTC trades secret, but then collaborated with TradeBlock to publish them. Maybe they did it because itBit's more regulated than most exchanges. https://news.bitcoin.com/itbit-tradeblock-blockchains-big-data/ItBit’s collaboration with TradeBlock will enable its clientele and the public to view its Over The Counter trading data, which will give more perspective and resolution to the exchanges OTC transactions. |

I have never had a problem with Multibit HD 0.4.1
Do you recommend swithing it now ? Because I have to say i really like it up to now and ofc I have many BTC adresses, and that wold be a lot of work to switch all those adresses.
You can use the same wallet words from multibit on a phone with bread wallet installed on it. If you use bread wallet and multibit together then if one wallet malfunctions you can still use the other. Bread wallet will import all your multibit addresses and Bitcoin balance if you enter your multibit wallet words into it. However,bread wallet will only install on an iPhone or a phone with android 6.0 or higher (Marshmallow or Nougat). Thank you very much. I have to consider to upgrade to Android 6. Unfortunately this means no more root for me, but still better than I lose my BTC. You might be able to avoid the need to upgrade by installing mycelium on your present phone, then importing your multibit wallet words into it. I'm not certain if it will work, but it's worth trying. What I have read is the first address generated by both wallets is the same, but you have to use Mycelium's "Rescan Account" option after selecting the account under accounts to force it to show you the other multibit addresses. If you try it please post back here to let anyone else who wants to try know whether it works. |

I mean back in the day we used to wipe our ass with 5-10% rises... now it's considered "moon" and we haven't even broken 2013 ATH. That is not moon. I miss the days of 10X-50X rises which will probably never happen again.... especially if people are putting $1000 price on a pedestal
The more mature the Bitcoin currency becomes, the less wild swings we will have. Not jumping 10X-50X is a good thing. Bit harder to have 10x-50x rise when the price as high as it is, compared to $10 or $150 How come it is only the US exchanges that have not broken the all time high Europe, Australia and china seem to have broken it Probably because the dollar's stronger against those other country's currencies now than compared to three years ago. It was 1.37 euros to the dollar in December 2013, but today it's 1.05 euros to the dollar. |

the SEC disapproval dip will be the new silk road busted dip.
with extra drama. and unforeseen highs. mark my words.
The SEC approval pump might be the new US decided not to ban Bitcoin pump to a new ATH. Over the last three years we had Gox, China bans Bitcoin, the bitstamp hack, and the bitfinex hack holding the price back. We're getting desensitised to bad news we've had so much of it. A SEC disapproval won't hold the price back for long if it happens. |

A simple but expensive way to buy small amounts of a Bitcoin for paypal is given in the tutorial linked below. https://www.deepdotweb.com/buy-bitcoins-with-paypal-credit-cards/The only big drawbacks are you pay high fees, and your first Bitcoin withdrawal is delayed by 48 hours. However Bitcoin withdrawals are instant after your first one. Basically the tutotial guides you through registering on the website below, depositing money through paypal, buying linden dollars with it, then buying Bitcoins with the linden dollars and withdrawing them. A bonus is you don't have to provide ID to register on the website. https://www.virwox.com/ |

Are you trying to buy 15 bitcoins or 15 euros worth?
Local bitcoins is an easy way to obtain, you can buy cash in person or just do a bank transfer and then once bought transfer them out and into your wallet. If you want a lightweight wallet for your phone then i reccomend mycelium (android).
If your only looking for 15 euros worth then there are quite a lot of options to just buy with paypal. Unfortunately its not bitcoin that is difficult , its the current banking systems.
While the thread's title says "trying to buy a small amount of bitcoins", PurpleDog's first post says he's trying to buy "15 bloody bitcoins". Fifteen Bitcoins is not a small amount. Today they would cost a total of €15736, To buy small amounts you can use the site linked below to search for the nearest Bitcoin ATM to you. There is usually a hefty fee for buying from a Bitcoin ATM, but it's fast and simple. https://coinatmradar.com/For 15 Bitcoins I would recommend buying from big exchanges like Bitstamp or the Kraken. However those exchanges want proof of identity like passport, and bank statement scans. https://www.kraken.com/https://www.bitstamp.net/
Any suggestion which monster I should visit next in this terrible Odyssey to by the miserable sum of 15 bloody bitcoins?

We need a Blockchain ETF! And an HTTP ETF!! And an IOT ETF! ETF all the things!
Don't forget the TCP/IP ETF. I hear TCP/IP's the latest thing.  The Dilbert cartoon below is based on the level of knowledge most business people have about the blockchain. I bet the people at the SEC have been told 'blockchain' will revolutionise business, and if they don't approve the ETF then 'blockchain' will be distressed.  |
