First of all: stop using your pc... Shut it down, turn it off... revisit the forum using a different pc or a mobile device.
Second step: clone your disk... boot from a linux usb and use gnome-diskutils or dd
Thirth step: use a recovery tool to scan your disk, and hope it can recover your wallet.dat.
Other than that, odolvlobo is right: if you don't have a backup of either your wallet.dat or the seed, you've lost your BTC...

Lets see, can you help with this transaction?
e2e9d5fab43ad636d60cba1576d26886d217ac4a64d90be561cf56d5192da0fa
I put low fee in it hope you can help. is stuck for 3 days
I'll push it to viaBTC in 23 minutes (at least, i'll try to push it to ViaBTC, their quota is usually met in a matter of seconds). Since it has 17 sat/byte, viaBTC *should* accept it. ok lets see, that would be a great help, I try myself and said is not a valid txid but was send from my own blockchain info wallet I missed this hour's ViaBTC slot (tried to submit your tx @ 9:00:15, so the 100 slots were filled in less than 15 seconds). I'll try again next hour. I'll edit this post if i succeed in accelerating your transaction. EDIT: ViaBTC accepted your transaction  It should be included in one of the next blocks mined by viaBTC (this can take a couple of hours, but from now on, you'll be in viaBTC's blocks) |

^^^Woah
Got no idea wat the spent and unspent means
my txn is not that low in comparison to others - transfering 0.05 BTC with a 0.005 fee...not the thread for it here but unclear why someone else's transaction is slowing mine donw
anyway - thanks in advance!!
This is a common misconception. The fee is not based on the transferred value, it's only dependant on the size of the transaction (in bytes). The size of the transaction only depends on the number of inputs and outputs, not their value. Manually calculating a fee is something that's better left to more experienced users (imho), i'd suggest picking a good, decent wallet and following it's advice regarding fees. If you have no clue about inputs and outputs, don't try to pick your own fee, cause you'll end up in the situation where you payed 0.005 BTC as a fee for a 0.05 BTC transaction, and honestly believe the fee *has* to be sufficient... But that's not how it works i'm afraid... I could sure use some help to please.
I made a mistake calculating my transaction fee and my transaction is stuck unconfirmed.
Transacation ID : 70e55204a89aa77f85503edc728ee075f61d86071e0e482732127979e45ed2d5
Hoping some kind person can help me as well.
I have submitted it to antpool, but i don't think a 1 sat/byte transaction will have a decent chance with them either... ViaBTC doesn't accept a 1 sat/byte tx  Other options: http://www.mocacinno.com/feecheck.php?txid=70e55204a89aa77f85503edc728ee075f61d86071e0e482732127979e45ed2d5 |

I've tried to give feedback/answer the 5 questions: 1) walletpassphrase YOURPASSPHRASE 10. This I beleive unlocks the wallet for 10 seconds.
correct 2) During the 10 seconds, type dumpprivkey. Does this leave the bitcoins intact in Bitcoin-QT wallet? Does this dump a file showing all the private and public keys. If so, what is this file called and its extension?
Bitcoins aren't something physical, they are not stored on your pc. If you "own" bitcoins, it basically means you have access to the private key that can be used to create a signature for one or more unspent outputs that funded the address that was created by hashing the public key belonging to the private key in question. In very simple wording: your bitcoins are just lines in blocks that are stored on thousands of computers. Importing or exporting private keys doesn't change anything (unless you use an unsafe procedure/PC and your private keys get exposed, in this case you might get robbed) So, dumping the private key will not "destroy" your bitcoins. dumpprivkey only dumps one private key to stdout. If you need to dump all private keys, you can use dumpwallet (dumpwallet actually takes a parameters in which you can define the file that will be used to dump all keys to) 3) Use importprivkey to import private keys back into Bitcoin-QT. If so, what is the procedure.
open the debug window => importprivkey --privatekey-- This procedure will rescan the blocks on your disk, importprivkey takes an optional argument that will avoid this rescan (if you want to) 4) What does importmulti do? Is this relevant?
I've never used this, but apparently it's used to import multiple private keys at once 5) If this works, is there still a problem that if some bitcoins are sold, the 'change' bitcoins are still lost?
I have a hard time understanding this question. IF you use a decent wallet, it will guide you trough the process of creating a transaction spending one or more of the unspent outputs controlled by you. A decent wallet will make sure it funds the address of whoever you're sending BTC to, and it will make sure the change is being used to fund a change address. Only if you manually create a raw transaction, or if you use a newbie-unfriendly, bad, wallet, or if you start messing with options you don't understand, you might end up losing your funds. |

Hi guys
In early 2014 I bought lightcoins and as the price did not grow I forgot about them.
Now I found the wallet file (litecoin.dat), but I can not remember what wallet I used at the time.
Electrum ltc writes "can not read file"
Litecoin core writes "file is too big"
How can I restore access?
There aren't that many litecoin desktop wallet's (AFAIK, i don't hold many LTC's). Since it has a .dat extention, my first instinct would be to re-try litecoin core... Maybe you could post the last couple dozen lines of your debug.log, or just move the debug.log, try to open the client using the litcoin.dat as wallet file (so a new debug.log gets generated), close the client again, then upload the full debug.log, so we can have a look at what's happening. Another usefull tool is db_dump, this tool allows you to dump berkeley db files, altough encryption might mess up the end result... Just in case you're running linux, it might also be good to try the command "file litecoin.dat". At least it will tell us what kind of file we're dealing with. |

Pfew, thanks for the reply I thought the coins might vaporize or something, what the fuck do I know  My advice would be to 1) update your "LINX" wallet 2) either download bitcoin core, electrum or buy a cheap hardware wallet 3) move your funds from "LINX" to core, electrum or your hardware wallet Eventough, you bitcoins can never "evaporate", it's still possible that this (to me unknown) wallet uses some kind of encryption or derivation scheme to encrypt or derive private keys, and when you don't update, you might not be able to manage our unspent outputs anymore. An other possibility is that it's a centrally managed SPV wallet, if the central servers go down, you might have problems spending your funds. These are only 2 theory's, i don't know "LINX", so i have no idear how they work, but if they tell you you have to update your wallet, i would take it very serious (seriously: consider moving to a trusted wallet).. |

First of all: there's a middle ground here... Online wallets are insecure (imho), you're not the (only) one controlling your private keys, so you're not the (only) one controlling your funds.
If you're not ready to buy a hardware wallet, a desktop wallet on a clean PC will usually be a step up (safety wise) compared to an online wallet.
As for your question: if you can export your private keys from your online wallet, you can probably import them in the fork's reference wallet... However: this might not always be a good idear, for example, not all forks might have replay protection, so importing your private keys into the fork's wallet and spending those forked altcoins might end up costing you your unspent outputs on the bitcoin network!

The blockchain is particularly slow today. I sent bitcoin today and paid around $4 as the transaction fee, which normally means that the transaction is confirmed within half an hour. Today the confirmation took more than 2 hours. So I would suggest patience, and eventually your transaction will be confirmed.
like i said in the post right above yours: a $4 fee might be perfectly fine for one transaction, grossly overpaying for a second transaction and not nearly high enough for a thirth transaction... Even if you are sending the same value of BTC, the necessary fee might be completely different. $4 says nothing... You need to tell us: 1) how many inputs your transaction had 2) how many outputs your transaction had 3) if you were using a segwit wallet FIAT numbers are not to the point. |

Well sir I checked that you are having 3USD fees, so it should get confirmed pretty soon. Last week I had a 0.3 USD fee transaction waiting for about 5 days, but eventually it got confirmed. But it was 10x smaller fee. So if you are not in a great hurry with your transaction, you can wait and it will get confirmed. There are webpages detailing the number of transactions with a given fee or above that are still waiting for confirmation, so you can use those webpages to estimate remaining wait time. Or use the webservices like confirmTX but there has been recently doubts on whether the page owners are honest, you can find the thread on it and make your own mind Hope this helps you! I have said this so many times before, but i'll say it again: the fee necessary for a reasonably fast confirmation has NOTHING to do with the value of the outputs of the transaction, not the value in BTC, nor the value in FIAT. There are 3 things influencing the fee: - the AMOUNT op inputs (NOT their value)
- the AMOUNT of outputs (NOT their value)
- wether or not the sender is using a segwit wallet or not
In the OP's case, he used a fee of 55 sat/byte, while https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ teaches us that at the time of writing, you'd need a 200 sat/byte fee for a 95% chance of getting in the next 3 blocks. The good thing is that his fee is over 10 sat/byte, and his transaction size is under 400 bytes, so most free transaction accelerator services should allow him to accellerate his tx for free. |

Follow this link before attempting to mine BTC with your CPU/GPU: https://www.mocacinno.com/nonspecialisedmininghardware.phpAfter you've studied the table on my website (above link), start using your laptop for what it's actually made, and stop wasting your time, hardware and power by mining with your laptop  |

MY previous post on this thread...they won't take it if your transaction is TOO low....I did a couple (see my previous post) one went thru at 2c in an hour! Without an accelerator helping ...because original fee was too low....The other later...but is sucks to wonder you can try the acclerator..if the fee you originally did on the BTC transaction is too low the viabtc app will tell you i mean did he already try to use paid service from viabtc? I know if free service doesnt accept transaction if the fee isnt 10 sat/b or higher. But if you scroll down, they say if they offering paid service. ViaBTC’s Transaction Accelerator is a FREE service for the community. We also provide paid accelerator service for special cases such as urgency, extremely low transaction fee etc.Fee standard According to transaction size, a donation of 0.01 BTC or BCH per KB is required for each transaction. Please contact support@viabtc.com for details. I mean, he can try contact them first and ask for paid accelerator service if OP want to use paid service. If i'm not mistaking, the payed acceleration service will even work with a 0 fee transaction (as long as you get it broadcasted). BUT 0,01 BTC/Kb is huge... His transaction is 0,559 Kb, thus would need an "extra" fee/tip/... of 0,00559 BTC, bringing his total fee up to 0.00000336 + 0,00559 = 0,00559336 BTC, which is almost 1/3th of the value he's depositing... |

Ik zie dat je bitcoin core aan't gebruiken bent... Deze blijft transacties rebroadcasten.
Als er een probleem is met de transactie (bijvoorbeeld een véél te lage fee, of een dust output), blijft je wallet deze "slechte" transactie dus keer op keer rondsturen, waardoor hij keer op keer terug in de mempool van de nodes zal worden geduwd.
De "oplossing" is vrij simpel:
ga naar het debug scherm, open de console, probeer het commando "abandontransaction " met hierna de transactieid die je in je historiek kan vinden door rechts te klikken op de transactie die 0/unconfirmed is.
Als dit niet zou lukken, kan je altijd proberen om je wallet op te starten met de extra parameter -zapwallettxes . deze parameter zorgt ervoor dat er een volledige rescan gebeurd, en dat al jouw niet-geconfirmeerde transacties gewoon vergeten worden door je wallet.
Na één van bovenstaande methodes moet je een paar dagen wachten vooraleer de transactie uit de mempool van de meeste nodes verdwenen is, hierna kan je opnieuw proberen om de unspent output te gebruiken. Ik zou je aanraden om een recente versie van bitcoin core te installeren, je kan altijd (voor de zekerheid) een backup maken van je wallet.dat

Try some paid service from viabtc. Looks like they accept paid service if you in urgent or in very low fees. I hope this can help you.  MY previous post on this thread...they won't take it if your transaction is TOO low....I did a couple (see my previous post) one went thru at 2c in an hour! Without an accelerator helping ...because original fee was too low....The other later...but is sucks to wonder you can try the acclerator..if the fee you originally did on the BTC transaction is too low the viabtc app will tell you No need to try it out, their limit is 10 satoshi/byte, OP's transaction has 0,6 satoshi/byte. There are a couple services out there that do accept tx's with such low fees, but most of them are paying... |

The transaction will go through. If you sent it with a very low it should still go through just takes way longer. Maybe 1 Month?
Not really... It *might* go trough. At the moment, the unconfirmed transaction is stored in the mempool of the nodes. The default setting of most nodes is to remove unconfirmed transactions from their mempool after 72 hours (IIRC). This setting can be modified by each node individually (for example, my node keeps an unconfirmed tx for 10 days, but other nodes might keep tx's only for a couple of hours). IF a transaction only has a fee of 0,6 sat/byte, there is a chance it will remain unconfirmed for such a long time that most (mining)nodes just dropped the tx from their mempool, either because it stayed there for to long, or they rebooted, or their allocated memory was full and they dropped the lowest fee tx'es |

As long as it's an authorised reseller, i wouldn't worry to much... I bought a ledger HW.1 and a ledger nano S, and IIRC, the boxes were packaged in plastic, and if memory serves me right, at least one of them had a security seal (on the box). To be honest, i bought both devices when they first hit the market, so it has been a while since i did an official "unboxing". Anyways, if you use the official bootable usb image to initialise your ledger, and you make sure it has the latest firmware from ledger, and use the official ledger chrome plugin to open the wallet for the first time, i think you're very close to being 99,99% safe |

What does the broke common man do with $200 to get started in the Crypto Market. Which exchange is best for the broke man? Can a broke man trade bitcoin/altcoin without an exchange? Coinbase vs BitConnect vs Bittrex vs Coinigy?  What would my Crypto Guru's do?? Don't get me wrong, i love the bitcoin technology, and part of the bitcoin community... But crypto currency will remain a high risk high reward investment for now... If you are a broke man, i personally wouldn't invest my last $200 in BTC... But that's just my personal opinion. IF you really want to go trough, here's a partial list of possible BTC/FIAT exchanges: https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin/trading_exchanges#panelNext to this, you have localbitcoins, this forum and probably another 100 places where you can exchange. Do your homework and see which exchange gives the best rate compared to the fee compared to their trust rating... |

Ledger Nano S have Anti-Tampering Seal but is highly recommended to buy from an authorised seller (eBay seller could open brand new Ledger and write down private keys then sell and take your funds in future)
This is not true. The wallet does not come with a tamper proof seal, as it is not required. The hardware checks itself every boot. See their support website here. An eBay seller could not write down your private key as long as you initialize your device before using it, generating a new set of keys. So when you get the nano ledger s... as long as you reset it, then your are fine 100 percent right? IF you got it from an authorised seller, and you receive a box that is still in it's original packaging, you're safe... IF you bought it from an unauthorised seller, there is alway the THEORETIC possibility he messed with the hardware and firmware, and when you initialise your hardware wallet without paying attention and testing if the firmware is original, you don't see a random seed, but rather a seed that was generated by the fake hardware from the fake seller (so the fake seller knows you will probably generate one of his 100? pre-programmed seeds). This option is for the truely paranoid tough |

No worries man, i just accelerated it on my pool for you. Just wait for confirmation Which pool do you manage, cause if you pool finds less than 3 blocks/week on average, the odds of OP's transaction being dropped from the mempool of most nodes is bigger than the odds of his transaction ending up in a block from your pool... OP: i once wrote a tool to help people fix these problems: https://www.mocacinno.com/feecheck.php?txid=bb473c1155c018c16dd0216587ff4aa183f421d26cf3f38d67cb73af67efbfc4Since you say RBF and CPFP are out of the question, you can still try to double spend one of the unspent outputs you used as an input for your transaction, and try to broadcast it... If a couple days have passed, your original transaction might already be dropped from the mempool of some miner's nodes, so it might actually work (altough it's still a longshot) EDIT: please, people, stop talking about FIAT (USD) in relation to transaction fees... It does not matter how much USD you sent to somebody when you're talking about fees. A $30 transaction might need a $100 fee for a fast confirmation, a different $30 transaction might be OK with a $1 fee. It's all about the number of inputs, outputs and wether or not you're using a segwit wallet. |
