2941  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory, two problems (online and scanning transactions history) on: June 03, 2021, 05:52:59 AM
Can anyone help a n00b with this?
As per usual, you should share armorylog.txt from Armory's data directory.

1) My first problem is that Armory is still offline, how do I get it online?
Without the logs, try to use the usual troubleshooting for "offline" issues: Armory might be looking at the wrong satoshi directory (bitcoin's data directory).
This happens when you set a non-default data directory in bitcoin core and didn't set Armory to find that directory.
You can set it in the "File->Settings->Blockchain and Database Paths", under "Bitcoin Home Dir".

2) My second problem is that Armory "Scanning Transaction History" hasnt began yet.
If it's offline, it won't be able to scan for transaction history.

Quote from: deliciousdelux
3) My third problem is that I made a test transaction, that I wasn't supposed to do due to the warnings signs that Armory might not get online.
You have the option to export the private keys but since you already got the full blockchain, you might want to finish setting-up Armory instead of importing the keys to a less secure/private client.

It is funny that there's a huge space in his post and I don't know if I will expect something for that to fully understand his rant about living un the UK and investing in cryptocurrency. It is much better if you will put all the information so that we can fully understand your thoughts regarding your situation. That's some way of technical problems that you need to address to them.
If you read the previous posts, you'll see that the problem was: he misunderstood Electrum's receive tab, there's a "request amount" there and he probably mistook it as "Buy Bitcoin".
Never replied after his third so I think he figured it out because of Charles-Tim's answer.

The "huge space" must be caused by the muscle memory of pressing "Enter" to send but he didn't know that the forum added break-lines instead.
2943  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: increase fee for unconfirmed transaction on: June 02, 2021, 04:07:10 AM
Is it possible to define a new output with a higher transaction fee (in Electrum on Tails)?
Yes, you can “double spend” the amount you broadcasted with a higher fee if the transaction was signed as RBF. In electrum, it should allow you to do that, because it chooses RBF by default.
Electrum's "Increase fee" has only the capability to create a replacement that'll send to the same output(s) or back to self through "cancel (double-spend)"

Is it possible to define a new output with a higher transaction fee (in Electrum on Tails)?
That said, "Cancel (double-spend)" option will replace the output with one of your wallet's unused address.
2944  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Question about bip32 seed on: June 02, 2021, 03:54:24 AM
Is your Seed BIP39 or created in Electrum? (the wallet info in the screenshot is showing "watching-only").

If it's Electrum seed, I'd not bother including the derivation path because Electrum will automatically select the correct derivation path during the wallet restoration process.
The path is already defined in the seed in the form of "version": https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/seedphrase.html

In case it's BIP39, I'd put the derivation path that's displayed in the "Script type Derivation path" window
and a short list of selections like "Standard->I already have a seed->Options->BIP39 seed" in order for the backup to be "ELI5".
2945  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Problem with old wallet. Please help. on: June 01, 2021, 04:07:46 AM
It has reach about 576412 block till about 51 weeks ago then it stopped synchronising.
I encripted the wallet , made a back up ant transfer it on a laptop with the new 0.21.1 version.
-snip-
I tried dumping the wallet and checking all addresses individualy still returns 0 in every one.
I hope that you have a backup of the unencrypted wallet.dat.
Because by encrypting it while it's not synchronized, the keys for addresses of the transactions that still not saved by the wallet will be flushed and be replaced by new ones.
That may be the reason why you're getting 0 balance in your new laptop.

Try to export the unencrypted wallet to the new laptop instead and let it rescan.

Problem is, that year-2015-transaction should've been already verified with your current block height, are you sure that it's Bitcoin Core's wallet.dat file?
Because you can paste an Altcoin wallet.dat file to Bitcoin core and it will display the previous unverified transactions as Bitcoin until it sync.

I tried searching the addresses manualy on the blockchain , and all results were , this address dont exist.
I noticed when i transfered the dat file all original transaction adresses changed completely. And everyone shows either non existant or 0 inputs or outputs.
In blockchain.com (that's not "the blockchain" BTW) if the address can't be found, it means that it's invalid, not a Bitcoin address;
if it shows 0 in and outs, it means that it's valid but didn't received any transaction yet.
2946  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Can unconfirmed transactions be automatically cancelled by RBF on: June 01, 2021, 03:28:31 AM
-snip-
If I use RBF during this time for the original transaction, that means the unconfirmed CPFP will be invalidated?
Or I will not be able to create RBF because the transaction already has child transaction?
The previous posts are true based from the RBF rules,
but take note that there are clients that will not let your perform RBF if the transaction has a child.

One big example is Bitcoin Core GUI (bitcoin-qt), once your transaction has an unconfirmed child in your mempool, it wont let you select "increase fee" option.
bumpfee wont also work, but it's still possible to manually create a replacement transaction using commands.
2947  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [Jun 2021] Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs! on: June 01, 2021, 02:21:43 AM
-snip-
The getnetworkinfo command in Bitcoin Core shows this:
Code:
  "relayfee": 0.00001000,
  "incrementalfee": 0.00001000,
Does that mean the minimum increase is based on a fixed amount instead of an amount per byte? That would mean a 1 sat/byte SegWit transaction (111 bytes, so 111 sat total fee) would have to be increased to 1111 sat (11 sat/byte) instead of just - say - 222 sat (2 sat/byte)?
They didn't disclose the units in the result of getnetworkinfo but it's in "BTC/virtual kB" on both "relayfee" and "incrementalfee".
That's equal to to additional of +1sat/vB of the original transaction.
When you use the help command for help getnetworkinfo, it'll display the units for those results.

Yours didn't worked maybe because the "absolute fee" is short of a few satoshi to actually reach the minimum of +1sat/B additional fee (like explained by hosseinimr93).
Or if it has an unconfirmed child(ren) transactions, the replacement transaction should be able to pay an additional fee equivalent to the children's "absolute fee" aside from the previous requirement.

Very helpful advice but I had some things to know if you don't mind then you can tell me. Can the Electrum be a good wallet for mobile users for a long time? What kind of security practices do you need to practice if you want to save money in Electrum from any other exchange, What kind of precaution should be taken in case the mobile is often lost or damaged due to mobile usage?
Always keep a copy of your seed phrase on a paper stored in a safe place like a vault, that alone can restore your funds in case of lost/broken device.
Do not save it in the same device, online or cloud  storage, or anything that's connected to the internet because of the reason above.

As per security measure, it's a mobile device so it's not recommended for hodling Bitcoins for a long time.
I wouldn't recommend any mobile wallet for that purpose at all unless you won't use that phone.

It's off-topic BTW, next time, please create your own thread if it's not related to the topic.

Why are my BTC buy requests being ignored by the servers? I don't get it. Everything seems to be set up correctly.
I'm trying to buy though Electrum, but so far, no responders. I set up my wallet using the default setup and have tried different servers but nothing yet. the idea is to eventually use a coldcard.
You must be pertaining about Electrum's "Receive" tab.

Just like others' said, you cannot buy Bitcoins through Electrum directly.
More info for the receive tab: The requests you created using that tab only act as "invoices" so Electrum will know which addresses will be funded so you wont accidentally reuse an address for privacy reasons.
It'll also automatically include the description you input to the history tab when the invoice was successfully paid.
They have expirations because of the same reason so the address for the (unused) expired invoice can be used for a new invoice.
The tab is basically where you request new address to receive Bitcoins.
2950  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [May 2021] Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs! on: May 31, 2021, 03:16:42 AM
Exactly what causes fee to be so low? Pre epoch change it was 350 blocks behind the pace. Now it's running on 98% effectivity. Does the pool release any unfulfilled transactions when epoch changes?
The difficulty until the third block was reduced by 45+% to the current one; increasing/decreasing by insignificant amounts of 0,X%
You can read Bitcoin articles about "difficulty" and "target", the easiest source is the Bitcoin Wiki: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty | https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Target
Disregard the "pool difficulty" parts since it's talking about pool mining.

Basically, if the total network's hashrate is lower, then in the next "epoch", the difficulty will be lower; vice-versa.
More comprehensive details in the link.
2951  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: btcrecover token.txt file on: May 30, 2021, 01:02:07 PM
Open Wallet in Bitcoin Core and look at the transaction history to get an idea of when wallet was created.
If it was created more recently then I can tell you that without any hints you will never solve.
-snip-
Is there any difference if the wallet was created long ago?
Because based from the context, it sounds like newer wallets are harder to crack compared to old ones.
2952  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanity Pool - vanity address generator pool on: May 29, 2021, 03:12:17 PM
How long is this going to take?

Difficulty: 55527913158 [Prob 2.9%][50% in 2.4d]
Always base it on that "50% in <n>d".
In your case, It may take more more than 2 to 5 days or if you're lucky, within a few hours if you're lucky.
2953  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanity Pool - vanity address generator pool on: May 29, 2021, 08:18:45 AM
-snip- because when using vanitybech it took me one week per address on my CPU. One Segwit char means five bits, so seven chars means 35 bits, around 32 bits per day, so around 8 days.
"bc1qtapr00t" has a quite low difficulty of 34359738368 with VanitySearch (Official Thread link).
That'll only take a few minutes using a modern Nvidia GPU or about an hour with an Intel 4th Gen processor or equivalent.

What I'm saying is, paying $100+ isn't necessary.

Sample (please don't use):
Code:
PubAddress: bc1qtapr00t3ly2ravzkzv5nurcqmxqgm5l3yczt4c
Priv (WIF): p2wpkh:L2GfeCMuGH5uFds5GBnND1vKGt8V5FXxy9ZhG6a1ErbFEFBq8m2T

I noticed that in April this year there was a large increase in transactions with less than 1 Sat/vByte showing on https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC,6m,weight,0



Did something change to allow that to happen? I'm curious to see if any pool mines them if/when we get there.
That site doesn't represent the majority of the node's mempool and there's no related changes in the code after April 2021: https://github.com/jhoenicke/mempool/commits/master
So maybe he just started accepting <1sat/B transactions or lower his previous setting (minrelaytxfee=n BTC/kB) and for some reason, they never left his mempool since.

Or a bug perhaps?
Maybe it has something to do with the changes he did in the default fee level: https://github.com/jhoenicke/mempool/commit/cffef45b49fc233664d2e735b9f30b1c0016b7c6
Forcing it to zero might have resulted with that graph.

well then that's truly sad, I've got an issue with suddenly no receiving emails - contacted provider, contacted support here, I got same advice:
"Sign a message from the Bitcoin address in the profile or an address you previously deposited from requesting the email change."

So there is truly NO FURTHER OPTIONS right?
The problem I described is if you haven't changed the default withdrawal address in your profile.

Otherwise, you can follow the second option in their instruction which I believe any address you've used to deposit bitcoins to your account.
I can't quite figure out "or an address you previously deposited from" but it seems like the address you've used in your previous deposits, there's no other addresses a user can sign anyways.

Anyways, if you've deposited before and can't recall the address used, you can open their deposit page:
"Profile->Deposit" and there's a list of "old deposit addresses" below that window.
You can paste them to a blockexplorer to check for a transaction that looks like your previous deposit and take note on the input(s).
If it belongs to the wallet you used to deposit and it's non-custodial, you can try to sign a message using that address.
2958  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Location of CoPay private keys on iOS on: May 26, 2021, 03:48:09 AM
Can you still open Copay when you restore a backup of the iPhone? It's okay even if it can't connect to servers.
It's old and these might not be accurate but try to export an offline backup:
  • Tap settings icon and then tap the wallet name to open wallet options.
  • Tap "More options" and then "Export Wallet"
  • Type your password and your backup phrase should show up or exported into a text file depending on your selection.

If Copay isn't accessible, I can't help any further.
2959  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Location of CoPay private keys on iOS on: May 26, 2021, 02:55:12 AM
The backup should be your "recovery phrase",
I don't how many words BitPay used when it was CoPay but it should look like a random set of words consisting of 12 or 24 for standard phrases, sometimes more or less.

The average mempool size is quite low right now and you may be able to send a priority txn (1mb from tip) with <10sat/B fee rate.
So would you recommend this option? How likely is it to ever arrive when I go cheap with Fee rate 2.7 or 1.3 sat/B?
I'd rather not answer with an estimated time of arrival since mempool is unpredictable, but I'd say 2.7 or 1.3 sat/B are a bit low even for a normal priority fee.
If more transactions are added, it may take days or weeks, if vice versa, the next hour or so.

With the current standing, you can go as low as 7sat/B and it will still be cheap as long as your transaction isn't large in size (not the amount to be sent).
The (virtual) size of the transaction heavily depends on the number of inputs it spend and their (script) address types, quite affected by the number of outputs.
I believe that's already explained in the OP of this thread.
