I can think of few reasons that may explain this decline in number of transaction:
- Recent sudden price drop: those who bought bitcoin during the bull run will have to wait till the price start increasing again.
- Current price stability: due to price stability, traders switch to other more volatile altcoins.
- Lightning Network: the number of Lightning nodes has doubled during the last year alone. It rose from ~5000 nodes to more than 10.000 nodes.
- Internal exchange transfers: due to the network high fees, most users make their transactions off-chain through exchanges.
- WBTC and alike.

At least this is a good opportunity for bitcoiners to enjoy low transactions fees and fast confirmations.

This is the letter of guarantee which is the only way to prove that the accuser sent his coins to one of the mixer's address as it contains the receiving address and is signed by the mixer's PGP key. Without it you can't accuse them of anything since no one is going to believe you.
In this scam accusation thread, for example, OP claimed he sent 13 btc to mycryptomixer but he couldn't prove it because he didn't download the LoG. No one can tell if he really sent the coins to the mixer or just making things up.

OP already confirmed receiving his 3 btc. He should mark this thread as solved.

The invoices you see on the "receive" tab are simply BIP70 requests. I agree with you that it's confusing and useless for regular users so it should be removed from the GUI. However, it can be very useful for merchants who use Electrum on their websites and need to pass more data to their customers than the payment address (payment amount, expiration date, note). It also help them update the order status according to the invoice status.

Btw, Electrum removes invoices when they are paid and the transaction has 1 confirmation. This proves how useless it is for a regular user.
OP, after you copy the address you can safely right click on the invoice and remove it to avoid any further confusion.

Since you tried all the above and none of them worked then the problem might be because of Windows itself or because your ports are blocked either by your ISP or router.
I found this solution on GitHub posted by SomberNight (Electrum developer), it should fix your problem if it's due to port blocking:


Also, try to connect to one of the servers using its IP instead of its name. You can find a list of servers by clicking on the red circle. Ping the server to retrieve its IP:

Am really curious to know how many users received this fake device and how many of them fell for it!
The scammers must either be the same persons who hacked Ledger's ecommerce database or they bought it from darknet. The first possibility is more likely because it is clear from the effort they put into this scam that they possess the necessary capabilities to hack Ledger's website.
The Ledger Donjon, if they get one of those fake devices or at least the malware it contains, they can easilly determine the IP address(es) of the server(s) to which the malware connects. This can, although unlikely, help them to identify the hackers, or at least to shut down the server(s) to avoid more victims.

Just to add to the steps stated above on how to recover your wallet from seed (assuming you still have it): after you enter the seed and click next make sure to select "Disable" to disable two-factor authentication and be in full control over your wallet.

Since your phone is lost you should assume your wallet is compromised. As soon as you recover your wallet, move all your coins to a new one.
Note: keeping your 2fa wallet and Google auth on the same device defeats the purpose of 2 factor authentication in first place. You must keep them on different devices.
In your case, anyone how finds your phone will be able to steal your money.

Instead of connecting your own wallet and exposing your private keys, it would be better if the platform generates a unique address for you which you can fund whenever you want. This way you keep your personal wallet safe in case the website gets hacked or exit scam and most importantly, you will have more control on how much money you want to gamble.
Also, since players are ready to go all-in, why not using a tickets or shares model instead of multiple rolls? You either win the Jackpot or lose everything.
Honestly, I don't think there will be many supporters for this idea especially if you can't stop auto-betting when you are in profit with a simple click.

OP, I believe you are wrong. The SoficoBounty telegram group belongs to this user Sofico BM who is a bounty manager. Both suspected accounts have their own projects and they hired him to manage their bounty campaigns.

If someone creates an alt account because his main account was tagged he won't be banned if he gets caught as trust is not moderated. Dt members, on the other hand, will tag him again if there is enough evidence, not just a tg link as in this case.

You are right Pmalek although one more input isn't going to cost him too much.
I was going to suggest him the same thing but changed my mind for two reasons. The first is that I don't encourage storing coins on exchanges and from his last post he didn't seem to know how it works. The second is that we don't know how precisely how much he is going to pay and how much Coinbase charges per withdrawal (in BTC), so if he sends everything to his Coinbase wallet and make the payment from there he could end up with a small change that he, most likely, wouldn't be able to withdraw.

You can also start bitcoin core daemon by running the below command from the Windows command prompt (cmd):
This is the directory were bitcoin is installed by default.

To interact with the daemon use this syntax:

To stop bitcoin core properly use this command and never force Windows shutdown if core is still running:
for more details, check this guide: https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#windows-instructions

But if he wants to contribute to the network he has to let his node run for as long as possible!

If you are worried about your coins being confiscated because you make transactions to/from casinos then don't use custodial wallet, especially centralized exchanges. Some exchanges and other services block user's accounts and seize their funds when they find out they make deposits from gambling platforms (iirc, Coinbase did it before).
In fact, you should never store your coins on custodial wallets.
You can use Electrum for bitcoin and Coinomi for other cryptocurrencies. They give you full control over your coins and no one can take it from you if you know how to secure your wallets properly.

I used BTCServer in the past with wordpress and woocomeerce. I didn't use it in a real ecommerce website but rather for testing purposes, though.
Every thing went well and every time I make a payment and it gets enough confirmations the order status changes accordingly.
However, one of the common reasons behind this problem is the WooCommerce Admin plugin which blocks calls to BTCPay server resulting in order status not changing. If you have this plugin installed, make sure it's deactivated and see if this solves the problem.
Also, make sure the payment transaction has enough confirmations before the invoice expires and that you properly configured all the BTCPay order statuses to trigger the right Woocommerce status.

Sorry, removed my previous reply by mistake. Re-posting it for reference:
https://github.com/SomberNight.gpg is SomberNight's old PGP key.
From now on, new Electrum releases will be signed with this new key:

Didn't verify it myself but according to electrum.org, the latest release 4.1.4 was signed by both ThomasV and SomberNight.

The website is down right now, I couldn't access it. Not sure if it has been suspended for good or just a temporary downtime due to them using a free TLD and a shitty shared hosting.
The bitcoin address you posted received more than 0.05 btc which was sent later to one of Binance's wallets which is a stupid move.
Here is the transaction id: 4eb4e1ec793fa7e09cccfb5cbb081a6e887f4a2fa7bba30c02cad07c01bb878e
I hope this can help in tracking him down.

This is because you clicked the "send/receive" button. You use this feature only if you want to send to another coinbase user. It will create an off-chain transaction and this is not what you want.
You need to make an on-chain transaction to withdraw to an external wallet (the company's address or your Electrum address). To do this, you should go to your "Portfolio", click "Withdraw" next to the asset you want to transfer (bitcoin in your case), then "Withdraw To External Wallet" and fill the required fields "From", "Destination" and "Amount".

As Coinbase charges a flat fee, the best thing to do is to withdraw the whole balance to your Electrum wallet then pay the company from there.

Bitcoin core is better suited for what you are trying to achieve and if storage space is your only concern, you can install it and run it in pruned mode. It won't take much space (only few Gbs).
Otherwise, you can use Coinb.in (as suggested above) or any other tool to construct the raw transaction then you can sign and broadcast it from the Electrum console. I didn't try it, tbh, but I believe it will work.

Note: Storing message in the blockchain is considered spamming even on the testnet network. Other nodes will have to download this extra data so I hope you consider this.

سعر البيتكوين شبه مستقر بين 32.000 و 40.000 منذ أكثر من شهر لذلك لا اعتقد اننا في مرحلة البير ماركت.
اي شخص يتابع تقلب سعر البيتكوين على مدى السنوات و خاصة السنوات الاخيرة يعرف ان كل الاحتمالات واردة و السوق يمكن ان يتحول من بيريش الى بوليش في لحظات و العكس صحيح.
مؤخرا كل الاخبار حول البيتكوين ايجابية لذلك استبعد ان ينزل السعر تحت مستوى 30.000 و كل التحليلات التي قرأتها, رغم اني لا اثق بها كثيرا, ت}كد ان الفترة القادمة هي فترة الثيران و سيعود السعر للارتفاع و تحقيق قمم جديدة.
طبعا هذه مجرد توقعات و لا يجب ان تؤخذ على انها نصيحة للاستثمار.

It doesn't matter if the use of cryptocurrencies is legal in your country or not. As long as your country is restricted, you are not allowed to use their services.

Creating a new account is just a waste of time as it will be blocked too. Using a VPN to get around geo-blocking is too risky and blockchain.com may seize your funds if they find out you are trying to cheat!
Just withdraw your coins to an external wallet and find a better exchange which supports your country or, even better, use a decentralized p2p exchange.

هناك سببان يؤديان لسرقة المحفظة:
الأول مرتبط بالمستخدم و عدم حفظه لمفاتيحه الخاصة او جملة استرجاع المحفظة بشكل امن اضافة لامكانية تعرضه لعمليات التصيد و التحيل مثل ما  ذكر بالاعلى. في هذه الحالة لا يهم ما هي المحفظة المستعملة فلا توجد اي محفظة يمكنها حمايتك من مثل هذا النوع من الاختراق.
الثاني مرتبط بالمحفظة نفسها اذ يمكن ان تكون مبرمجة بشكل سيئ و بها ثغرات امنية تمكن المخترق من الوصول الى عملاتك او ان تكون الطريقة التي تولد بها المفاتيح الخاصة غير عشوائية و يمكن التنبؤ بها. في هذه الحالة كل مستخدمي هذه المحفظة معرضون للخطر.

 الحل الامثل هو استخدام محفظة مفتوحة المصدر تحظى باجماع كبير و استعمال كلمة سر قوية و حفظ مفاتيحك الخاصة في مكان امن لا يمكن لغيرك الوصول اليه.
