Not really. If the funds were sent to an exchange tjough, look for an address along the line that's received a large number of inputs and see if you can search the address out that way (using a blockahin explorer and then go ogling the address).

But that'll only sometimes work probably and I'm not sure of anything else beyond that...
3122  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum mobile wallet needs to give us more control over our fees on: October 29, 2020, 02:02:37 PM
They have increments of 1, 2, 5, 10, 30, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 300 sats per byte on the fee sending page as well as a 20mb, 10mb, 5mb, 1mb, 0.5mb and 0.1mb mempool fee settings? Just click the think that says eta. They ought to make it more like a slider tbh but they haven't yet...

Is this enough options or you can open an issue on their github to ask for more.

 On the other hand I do support an easing into soceity idea as well, if a nation has %99 christian population and suddenly get 50k+ muslims all at once that would be bad for the culture, there are now 50k people who have no idea how people live in europe, they have only seen the life in middle east so they can't comprehend many things in the new culture, which means they should probably not be living hand in hand together without any help at all, they should be helped to understand the new culture a lot better before they could get involved this deeply.



Wait they don't get offered counselling or anything?. I imagine a lot of them have seen enough people die - based on annacdotes of civilians going over there.

They're used to experiencing violence by this point, they really ought to have tried to given them some sort of eduction  or even somewhere to work among groups of refugees, migrants and natives in simple jobs...



 However this backwards ideas of middle east is not because of themselves, for the past 35 years middle east has been getting bombed by europe and america non-stop. These nations never had the chance to grow, build schools, build business', build farms and basically become a decent country. They have been war thorn for decades now and obviously because of this they never became the old culture they used to be, they became close minded with hatred because of this. If you could have stopped killing them, maybe instead of growing full with hate towards others due to being bombed constantly and having to run away from their own nations to the nations that bombed them, they could have stayed in their own nation and grow bigger peacefully.

... Yeah

I was just thinking of the headlines we'd actually get if what the UK, France and the US were doing were considered terrorism and not attempting to "play the white guy"... "hundreds of innocents killed by unmanned drones just for gathering in the streets in groups" and "European soldiers sent to fight alongside rebels who are considered less corrupt at this point"... No wonder the radicalisation plans worked so well...

i'm not sure what you mean by this, the type of the locktime (being height or timestamp) doesn't change anything about safety of it. they are both enforced by the protocol and work pretty much the same way.
in fact for longer periods such as 20 years using the timestamp may be better since we can have more blocks or less blocks per day that can accumulate to a big difference in 20 years while timestamp can't  change and has a very small wiggle room.

Dam now you've got me thinking the blocktime interval might be reduced at some point too...

And yeah I guess the largest miners would lose access to the mempool before they lose access to timeservers and become out of time...

Only if that exchange still exists after I pass though! Most exchanges seem to refresh wallets often enough, it'd be another hell to fix it with customer support. As long as they're somehow with the keys I suppose they could always seek help from someone. Thinking of making all KINDs of instructions or really just finding a way to put it in a will and update it as much as possible.

Oh yeah... I was going off coinbase still accepting my same address 6 years later but you probably could find a solicitors/attorneys that will allow you to at least leave them a transaction to broadcast at some point, or you could hide hardware somewhere that's listed on a will.

My ideas are normally reliant on someone giving a friend access as my family would have no idea what they're doing and would probably end up losing stuff...

You already sound like a nationalist? All Muslims aren't one group of people perhaps uou should state the countries instead...

Western Europe is powerful, the east just has the west for backing and check how much they're helping Poland to work out they won't do much until they're under attack...

Merit sources are the main inflator of merits. They distribute freshly minted merits.

You can check the stickies of the meta section if you'd like to know what merits are for but they essentially help you rank up and reduce posting and signature limits..

Applications to be a merit source are generally a user finding 10 posts they feel are worthy of merit and using those to confirm. They're good at selecting high quality posts.
3127  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Got robbed and I can't understand how on: October 28, 2020, 09:29:34 PM
Does your browser save it's history - and can you work out where the app was downloaded from - and what version of electrum did you update from (was there a pop up message)?

If the coins were sent to some random address, it's likely you were a victim of a phishing attempt. While you still have the coins I'd recommend sweeping them into another wallet. If you have an android phone, I'd recommend downloading electrum from the playstore and sweeping the coins into a new wallet. If it was that the coins were sent to an unrecognised address.

Yeah if loyce has an instance of core running they're more likely to get an accepted transaction than I with electrum...

I tried reversing one without rbf a while ago and it didn't work...

That's the tx. I didn't want to post that though. Is it possibke to check whether a tx is RBF enabled or not through any explorer? @jackg, please check if it is rbf enabled or not. If it is, then I can send you the private key.

3130  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Tutorial] Making your crypto inheritible on: October 28, 2020, 05:33:09 PM
I have a question tho: if you choose "Max" as the amount and export the signed tx, what happens if between the day you export it and the day you broadcast it, the input receives more BTC (say you now have 0.77 instead of 0.7514)? Inside the signed exported tx, is the value specified as "max" (0.77) or as the value your input had at the time of signing it (0.7514)?

You'd have to keep updating what you're doing, but I think this should be treated as a method on your portfolio such that you'd pick amounts to increment on before making a transaction.

For example, a while ago I had a multisig with a few different devices and I'd only send funds from my hot wallet to them once it exceeded a threshold of 0.25BTC. I normally have SOME online assets stored without protection anyway (a few mbtc just in case I need them for something) so these would be much easier to recover - some funds might be lost overall but I think this allows for a large amount of someone's funds to be passed along - if not all.
3131  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Tutorial] Making your crypto inheritible on: October 28, 2020, 05:18:42 PM
Is it possible for you to perform this task as well and show it to us in this thread only?  Roll Eyes

More funds? How? Is it locked based on fiat and I may get more btc if value tumbles down? Or are you including the fee that is being paid? Please elaborate.


It's literally just sending a regular transaction... You still have the funds in your wallet, nothing changes in that regard.

As for the balance thing, it took me a while to take screenshots and work out how imgur works. If you'd like to crop the bottom off so that I don't have to show someone's unconfirmed transaction then that's up to you tbf.


Problem still exists for me. I do have people I've already given instructions to, and am trying to bring some young adults into it but I find that because there is no interest at all in Bitcoin and in fact possibly some negative attitude towards it, I fear they may not. For example, gave 2 kids some Bitcoin for birthdays on their last birthdays after a couple of years asked them if they still had it. One lost it. Lost the instructions, lost the keys, everything =) Other one had both intact, but was not able to complete it even though I thought the instructions were fairly simple.


Ah this old thing... Yeah it's a difficult thing to do for those uninterested and even those interested that don't want to be affiliated with it. It probably makes more sense to find a way to at least keep the btc circulating somehow. It might also be possible to. Leave funds on an exchange or make it so tfunds can be transferred to an exchange by broadcasting a transaction which your family might then have access to and just have to click "sell".
3132  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Tutorial] Making your crypto inheritible on: October 28, 2020, 04:39:14 PM
What happens if someone who sets, for example, 20 years from today's date but they don't die? Is it possible to cancel this transaction?


Yes, you'd just have to sign and broadcast a transaction emptying that address or moving them to the same address and renewing the transaction again. I'd assumed you'd end up with a more favourable transaction though at that point (eg you get more funds).


What if someone who sets it for 5 years later date or block, dies in a year or two? Is there any possibility for their known family member to get these coins before the set "LockTime" period by any means or they need to wait for 5 years before they are sent the coins to their address?

Yes if you left your mnemonic phrase or private key in a place they could easily find... Which is possible if you trust them or you'll know they'll look in a certain place. But I don't think this is a bad backup in case a physical store gets destroyed as well...
3133  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How to use double spend on: October 28, 2020, 04:05:41 PM
import it into electrum yourself, wait for electrum to synchronise and on the mobile version I can see an options>double spend the transaction which opens a window to double spend the funds back to yourself.

I can help if you can't do it but do that!
Unless as mentioned above the flag isn't set then the only solution is to contact the place you sent it to or contact a liner to push your transaction through with a higher priority.
3134  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Tutorial] Making your crypto inheritible on: October 28, 2020, 04:00:07 PM

Just a question do you know when that advanced tab was added on electrum? Maybe it was always there and I did not put attention but I do not recollect anything of the sort being there, is it a new feature?

It used to be preview but I used to have to copy the text and edit it manually. I expected to do the same again this time but it looks like it's been made a lot easier in version 4.

So it makes it easier to set timelocks like this and to handle multisigs. I think I also saw an option for coin join but I haven looked into thatych so it might just be a basis point for it.
3135  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Halloween inspired poll –would your Bitcoins get passed on if you suddenly died? on: October 28, 2020, 02:53:56 PM
Im bit interested with that time locked thing where you can able to have access and spent those coins in the time you had set. Would you mind on where i can see step by step time locking up your coins for such purpose?

I decided to make a thread on it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5285003.0

It took me half an hour to work out what I was doing and I imagine there are still mistakes Grin (to clarify most of the time was spent working out how to add images to this site again).
3136  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / [Tutorial] Making your crypto inheritible on: October 28, 2020, 02:43:21 PM
I received a request for this on another thread but thought I'd post it here. This is technically a repost of a thread I made (but I probably made it a year or so ago). If you follow this method it's still possible to psned the coins you have in your wallet.

I'm going to be doing this whole thing in electrum this will ensure funds can be salvaged by anyone with a note you leave after a certain amount of time.

A slight note on a potential weakening of security here before we start in that once you do this your bitcoins may be suseptible to an attack if someone receives the paper and the ECC algorithm used for bitcoin is broken (but it's likely to remain strong until 2050 afaik).

Step 1, generate an address or a wallet as you like. If a family member would be able to log onto your phone, you could produce an address there - alternatively you could bluetooth them over a QR code with a small explanation as to what it's for (with a fresh private key on it that has no funds).
It doesn't matter what wallet you do this in and for me, I'm just going to use the address in my profile: 1JRmjyGo3kpdXcQeAeTBmGtgkC1AomHKED - but you'll have to remeber to broadcast the transaction in electrum.

On to making a timelocked transaction:

1. Open send tab in electrum with your funds in you want someone to be able to access some day, put in the fresh address you've created and hit max and "Pay".

2. Click advanced

3. As you can see, there's an option to edit the block height in this tab
I'm going off the idea there are 144 blocks a day and, for this example, I'll set the block time to 20 years from now.
654555+(144x365.25x20)=1697475

4. Click finalise > sign > export (bottom left) > export to file > and name and save your file


If you don't have anyone who could inherit your btc or don't want them to, you could ask a charity to accept them when you pass and send them or a cryptosupportive solicitors in the hope they can broadcast it across when you don't move the funds and don't respond for a certain amount of time. You could also publicly post a transaction you want to be confirmed or send it to someone you know to broadcast it.

LoL,...

can't blame you if you didn't get my point on that post.
Tagalog pa naman.

Explain it then. I quoted what you said and people can see what you posted there so there's nothing to hide here.



As for all:

Quote
halos pare parehong users na lang kasi ang nakikita ko, kaya hindi muna ako nagbibigay baka kasi mapansin at masabi na bias, na kesyo sila sila lang nabibigyan.

Translate:

I've been seeing the same users over and over again, that's why i intend to make a pause on giving them their Merits, for it might get a bad impression of being biased just because they're the only ones who keeps on getting Merits.

You are basically saying that you aren't giving merits to those who deserve it then, just because people might get the impression of you being biased. How is that fair for those users who deserves it?


But it kinda makes sense?

I don't know their rewarding habits there but I'd guess they should aim for 5+ merits when they do award them. If that part of the forum isn't very active but still has repeat users then merit can still. Be awarded just as and when a certain high quality of post is met...

Someone ought to pm another user on the Philippines board likely to be accepted hy the forum admin as a merit source to offer a greater distribution. You can't just blame one guy and if. They're removed as a source then they'll be no. Merits in the Philippines board...

Im bit interested with that time locked thing where you can able to have access and spent those coins in the time you had set. Would you mind on where i can see step by step time locking up your
 coins for such purpose?

In the poll where i do answered out on 100% for my heirs to get my coins in case i do kick the bucket as of this moment yet i had tell them on how to access my wallet
in case i do pass or will be dead any minute yet we arent holders of our own lives and it can be taken anytime.So its better to tell them rather than making
it complicated which might really be result into lost coins instead of benefiting to those one you loved.

Yeah sure! I'll make a post on it tomorrow as it'll take a while to explain and I'll have to remember how to do it Grin.

From what I remember I used a hex editor to change the number and previewed the transaction in electrum but I'll spend some time on it later to make sure I remember (as it requires some conversions).
