HCP, right now i have btc in many different addresses in my electrum wallet.  Reason is because they do the change address thing.  And so say i received about 0.023658521 btc recently that i want to send to another site.  But i want the btc that i received to be the exact btc that i send to the other site.  Such that any btc that i currently have before receiving the 0.023658521 btc, i want it to remain untouched.


So if i send 0.023658521 btc minus the sending fee... will all that btc automatically be deducted from the new address that i recently received my btc?  Because if so, then i will just do it this way as oppose to doing the spend from that you mentioned?  I just recalled whenever i sent btc to other sites the regular way, i notice btc would be deducted in like a couple of btc addresses i have etc which is why i ask this.  That is what i want to do right now because any btc that i receive now to a new address, i want to send exactly that btc and not have any btc from any of the old address i used because i read this is good for privacy.

Hey there.  The thing is this.  Any new btc that i receive, i want it to be sent to either a new address or an address that i might have used only a few times.  Then when i send those btc to a site or exchange, i want to send all of them from that exact address... thus i dont want any btc leaving or entering the other btc addresses i have.


Thus if i have 0.02012382 btc that i received from a site, i want to make sure i transfer exactly that amount including the fees so that btc address will to exactly zero.  And also the btc in the other addresses to stay the same.  Does that make sense?


Well the reason i ask this is because people say its better that way.  Thus use a btc address once only etc.  Thus i want to receive btc to new address, and when i send btc, i want to make sure the btc that are sent comes from exactly that address...

Are those dates even correct?  I read that one of the bitcoin forks already happened?

Hi there thanks for that information.

Okay so for example, let say i want to send the entire btc i have in that specific wallet.  Lets just say its 0.03 btc to make it simple.  When i do this, i then could change the fee etc.  So i want to make sure my balance on that address goes to exactly zero as i read its best to not use an address so many times etc.  So say i want to send the entire 0.03 btc.  When i click on the sending fee, let say its so and so.  I should subtract the 0.03 btc and the sending fee amount right, that way it adds up to exactly 0.03 btc i am sending?

Im confused with the second part.  So doing this could mean the transaction takes a lot longer than normal?  I don't know what the cpfp means.  I basically want to not have any btc sent from my other addresses as i want any btc i receive now to go to a new address and it be used a few times only as i read you should not be using btc address more than once etc.

Okay so no exchanges like bittrex or binance would offer this?


Would we have btc if we use electrum?

Because certainly people will be converting their altcoins or get more btc? 

Best place to keep btc to receive btc?


Electrum, binance, bittrex? 

Can someone here confirm the actual dates for the upcoming bitcoin fork?  Title is on December 17th but someone here said it was December 11th?  But someone else say its December 15th?  Which one is it then?


Also where is the best place to keep your coins to get the fork?  Electrum, nano ledger s, bittrex, binance or somewhere else?

Should one be buying bitcoin or converting alts to btc just to get these forks?  Then sell it right afterwards?

Is there a reason why they can't just create an electrum for almost every coin?  Electrum is a very good wallet.

Does anyone have the exact date of each upcoming btc fork?  Also so say its the 15th... does that mean your btc has to be in the wallet on that day at 12am?  And if so, what time zone is used?  Thus what days you need to make sure you have btc there?

Was there anyone here that bought a lot of btc a while back and then sold it for profit when it was still very little?  Say like imagine you bought 1000 btc at 1 dollar and sold it off at 3?

Does anyone know how long it would take for the fees to go down in price?  Also why would anyone use bitcoin anymore if this is the case?  Also i recalled electrum you could actually put zero fees and it would send but it takes a while.  So right now if you send btc with electrum, you have to minimum put it 25 blocks right?  Thus no more sending btc for free?


So that means you all are not sending any btc unless its at least a certain amount?  I mean imagine sending $5 about 10 times or so.  That is ridiculous.

Hi there.  Okay i will uncheck that box.  But when i go to the send btc page, i put the btc address i want to send to and the amount.  For the fees, is it best to leave it at 10 blocks or make it 25 blocks?  Its like a 1-2 dollar difference and it already cost 12 dollars to send which is ridiculous.


So i input all that information, btc addres i send to, amount of btc and fees, then instead of clicking send btc.. i have to then go to that page with the btc address i want to send from and click spend?  Then it would ask me for my encryption password right to send the btc?  Thanks.

I haven't sent btc in a while.  Back when i sent btc, fees were less than 50 cents.  Maybe 3 dollars?  I went and tried to send less than 30 dollars of btc... fees show up as 12 dollars on electrum and thats with the lowest possible fee where i make it send within 25 blocks.  Now if you want to send under 1 dollar, it cost 12 dollars.  When is this issue getting fixed?  Who in their right mind would send btc for small amounts when even the fee is that much?  Its like paying 12 dollars for something you want to buy that is 1 dollar?

I received some btc recently on a new address that i have not used.  It shows as unconfirmed.  Can i send btc to another site right now exactly that amount of btc from that specific address?  Or i cannot do this?  I know if i send btc to another site that amount of btc in my wallet, i can do this because my wallet has that amount of btc.  Its a very tiny amount of btc.  Like 0.003 or so.  It shows that amount on the unconfirmed and i read bitcoin is very slow now and lot of unconfirmed transactions.


And how do i send btc to a site from a specific address?  I want to send it from that btc address that i just received from but it shows unconfirmed.

Hey HCP.  So just to make sure, electrum counts right?  Just want to make sure before i order it.

HCP, what happens if the nano ledger malfunctions and you need a replacement?  Also don't these need replacement eventually as they cannot last that long?


Most importantly, would it be possible to recover your bitcoins/altcoin on a computer if you cannot buy another nano ledger s?  Or would you have to get a replacement? 

Im curious but when you sell btc for usdt... you then get a usdt balance right?  I know its a crypto so if sell btc, you going to get x amount of usdt?  Then when you want to say buy btc, you buy it with usdt.  Then sell it for usdt?  So say after 2 profitable trades, you would have higher usdt that you started with right?  However what if you are trading altcoins?  The thing is if you buy altcoin with btc at a price say 5 dollars.  Say price goes to 8 and now you want to sell it.  You sell it for btc.  But do you then immediately sell that btc to usdt?  Because if you do, then you realized an actual usdt profit as oppose to holding to the btc where if it drops, you would lose assuming you sell the btc later for a loss?  Thus you would have a gain on buying/selling of the altcoin but then a loss on the sale of btc?  And the amount of the loss on the btc could be easily more than the gain of the altcoin?  Thus if you want to lock in profit, after you sell altcoin back for btc, you immediately convert it to usdt?


But in the end when you sell the bitcoin to get money in your bank account, you cannot do this on bittrex right?  Thus they dont allow bank transfer or wire with the usdt since its a cryptocurrency?  Thus you would have to use an exchange like coinbase/gdax/gemini to get the actual money in your bank account.  The usdt on bittrex is basically a way to hold usd right?

To those of you that buy low and sell high with altcoins, after you sell the altcoin for btc, do most of you just hold the btc?  Or do you sell the btc for usdt to lock in your profits?  Because if u dont convert it to usd... then the profit you made from selling the altcoin isn't locked in right?
