Damn that's some crazy feat, kudos! By the way, is that the forum record or your personal?
fillippone's record (which is the overall record too) is much higher than that.
fillippone received merit in 413 consecutive days. From January 27, 2020 to March 14, 2021.

You can check list of users with big number of merit streaks on "Received Merit Streak" tab.

Does anyone happen to know if the folder that gets created when you download Bitcoin Core Wallet, gets deleted when the wallet/program is uninstalled? Or is it archived (in which the library folder is still there with the wallet.dat file in there)?
All your wallets files are stored in your hard drive.
Below is the location of bitcoin core wallets files on Windows, Linux and Mac respectively.


Windows:
Code:
%APPDATA%\Bitcoin

Linux:
Code:
~/.bitcoin/

Mac:
Code:
~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/

3263  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Bounties (Altcoins) / Re: [BOUNTY] GOLD Stablecoin – $200,000 - payouts in BTC, ETH, GOLD on: June 05, 2021, 07:58:55 AM
Hi GOLD_official
I was in the signature campaign till May 21, 2021.
Below is the post I made when I left the campaign.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5164058.msg57058652#msg57058652

As I see in the spreadsheet, it's written that "Payed till 31.03.2021". Off course, I see the 300 dollar for April.
I see nothing for the first 21 days of May that I were in the campaign.

Again, I would like to thank you for the opportunity of being in this campaign for more than a year.
I am happy that the new smart contract has been created and seems that everything is going well.

Take note for other networks/chain you can switch to other networks if you want like BEP2 to reduce the withdrawal fee but the receiving address must be on the same network in order to receive the BTC amount.
I would never use bitcoin on such networks.
Bitcoin on BEP2 network or any other network isn't real bitcoin. They are actually tokens that are pegged to bitcoin price. I don't think it's a good idea to use these tokens instead of the real bitcoin only for paying lower withdrawal fee.

Any platform you are talking about, I recommend you to avoid it for your future purchases.
The service you purchased bitcoin from is awful. What a service that doesn't have its own wallet and send you bitcoin from binance.

Most probably, they have charged you their own fee too (maybe, with selling bitcoin at a higher price)

But, it can also save someone. It's the way you look at it. Weight privacy and confirmation boosting and you can make your own conclusions of what is better.
You are 100% right. I myself have used both "Increase fee" and "Cancel (double-spend)" features many times. These options are really helpful and I didn't mean electrum shouldn't allow users to do so.
I was only saying that it's not true that wallets don't have options mentioned by o_e_l_e_o in this post, because they don't want people to be able to change the outputs and use the feature for scamming others. If that was the reason of not adding such options, electrum wouldn't allow users to cancel (double-spend to themselves) transactions at all.
3267  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Urgent Help. recover stuck transaction from phishing attack?? on: June 04, 2021, 02:22:56 PM
I don't think many (any) wallet devs want to implement what you describe because it would allow users to double-spend transactions in a way that would involve the recipient not receiving the original amount of coin as was in the original transaction.
I don't think that's why they don't add such options.
Electrum (as one of the best and most popular wallets) allow users to double-spend a transaction to themselves. This feature can be used for bad purposes.
As stated in previous posts by others, I think wallets don't add such features because they don't like to make their wallet complicated for newbies.

There are two spaces before the link posted by laszlo.
If you delete one of those spaces, you will see that the hyperlink will no longer be disabled after you edit the post.
I don't know whether it's a bug or it has been designed in this way for a reason.
 
Look at the links below.
I put two spaces before the second link. As you see, it's not clickable after I edit the post.

So, this has nothing to do with quoting and can happen even when you make the post without quoting another post.

I think it will not because Zepher is not anymore among us. Theymos is not going to remove the feedback (we didn’t see any such case). So, the feedback is going to be there and so does the warning.
If the other three DT members only two of those DT members remove their negative feedback, the warning should be removed.
That warning is shown if the topic creator has at least 2 negative trust more pre-flag system negative trusts than positive trusts or an supported active flag.

The post was edited according to DdmrDdmr's post. My numbers were wrong.
3270  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: not able to transfer wallet frrom armory to electrum on: June 03, 2021, 02:13:26 PM
What exactly do you want to do?
Do you want to make a transaction and send your fund from Armory to an electrum wallet? Or you want to export your wallet and import it to electrum?

If you want to make a transaction, you need to have bitcoin core synced and connect it to Armory. Note that this requires you to download the whole blockchain and it may take a long time.
Currently, the whole blockchain size is about 348 GB.

If your only purpose is to access your Armory wallet in electrum, you can do it without the hassle of downloading the blockchain and making bitcoin core connected to Armory.
To do so, you need to export your private key(s) and import it to electrum.

Sorry if it's a dumb question, but why would RBF create an unobtrusive transaction fingerprint?
When you increase the fee and create a new transaction for implementing RBF, the added fee is deducted from the change.
With comparing the original transaction and the replacement transaction, it's easy for everyone to find out which output is the receiver address and which one is your change address.

Binance despite being the biggest exchange, doesn't day anything about Inactive accounts, unclaimed property or death of account holder  Roll Eyes
I just made a search and found a little information on the following article.
Keep Your Crypto #SAFU (CZ's Tips)

Quote from: Binance Blog
This is also important for the “if you become unavailable” situation. Binance is able to help family members access the account of their deceased relatives, with proper verification.

There's no detailed guide on how to claim the fund in the case of death of the account holder, off course.
It is only said that you need to complete level 2 KYC and they will help family members to access the account of the deceased person.
3273  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Lost Nano Ledger but have pass phrase with me on: June 01, 2021, 05:47:11 PM
So, I have the pass phrase (all 24 words) written on the card provided by the nano ledger. I also have password obviously.
The 24 words you have are called seed phrase or recovery phrase, not passphrase.
Passphrase is an extra word added to your seed phrase to protect your fund in the case those 24 words are stolen.



But the real question is, whether this will help me recover my ETH?
Yes, all your private keys are backup by your seed phrase (+ your passphrase if there's any).


I did research on the forum but found very old threads stating you can buy new hardware wallet and insert these phrase and it will seed the old data???
Correct.


Do we have new solution to this prob please?
As already said, you can buy a new ledger and recover your fund using the seed phrase (+ passphrase)

The other solution is to enter your seed phrase into other wallets like myetherwallet.
Just note that entering your seed phrase on an online web wallet has its own risks.
Do it only if you are 100% sure that your device is safe, there is no malware and you are not on a fake website.

Also note that your fund is no longer safe and should be moved to a new wallet.
3274  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: increase fee for unconfirmed transaction on: June 01, 2021, 02:46:23 PM
If your transaction has been flagged as RBF, it's possible to replace it with a new one spending same input(s) with a higher fee.


Is it possible to define a new output with a higher transaction fee (in Electrum on Tails)?
What exactly do you want to do? Do you want to change the output to your own address?
If that's the case and the transaction has been flagged as RBF, you can right click on your transaction and select "Cancel (double spend)". If you do so, your transaction will be replaced by a new one spending the inputs to one of your wallet addresses.
3275  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: weird transaction and using old electrum wallet with lightning stuff? on: June 01, 2021, 02:11:08 PM
in the wallet, the money is written there, with an (unconfirmed) behind it.
Your transaction has already been confirmed.
At the time I am making this post, it has 4 confirmations.

no ide whats up with the insane amountof 82 btc also wirtten there.
The 82.2 BTC is the change and has been sent back to the sender.

Whenever you spend bitcoin, you have to spend the entire amount of an UTXO.
The sender used a UTXO worth 82.22 BTC for sending bitcoin to you. 0.01799 BTC was sent to you and the remainder was sent back to the sender.  
3276  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Not funny problem I opened a wallet that was not mine on: May 31, 2021, 09:06:04 PM
I guess you could enter a valid seed phrase? Am I right?

A seed phrase usually consists of 12 words. Considering the 4 bits of checksum, these 12 words generate 128 bits of entropy.
This means that there are around 3 * 1038 valid 12-word seed phrases.

It's extremely easy to enter a valid seed phrase.
It's extremely unlikely to enter a seed phrase that has already been generated by someone else and steal the fund.
In other words, you can enter a valid seed phrase and generate valid addresses. But you can't generate funded addresses.
3277  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Can unconfirmed transactions be automatically cancelled by RBF on: May 31, 2021, 07:22:18 PM
If I use RBF during this time for the original transaction, that means the unconfirmed CPFP will be invalidated?
When you bump the fee, you actually replace the transaction with a new one. Since the new transaction has a new hash, all children of the original transaction become invalid.


Or I will not be able to create RBF because the transaction already has child transaction?
Any RBF-enabled transaction can be replaced by a new one if the second transaction pays a higher fee and it spends at least one of inputs of the original transaction.
This can be done even if the original transaction has several children.
3278  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Number of addresses on a cold hardware wallet? on: May 31, 2021, 07:10:31 PM
Hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor provide a HD (Hierarchical Deterministic) wallet for you.
A HD wallet gives you numerous addresses and private keys that are all generated by a seed phrase (a series of words) and you can use a new address every time you receive bitcoin.
3279  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitcoin double spend on: May 31, 2021, 06:32:30 PM
there is always a possibility to lose your money if the receiver spends the unconfirmed transaction and his cpfp transaction gets confirmed before the rbf transaction.
It's not possible.
Once you use RBF feature and replace the original transaction with a new one, the original transaction and all its children become invalid and you no longer need to worry about the transaction made for implementing CPFP.

I agree that no one should use this service, off course.
3280  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [Jun 2021] Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs! on: May 31, 2021, 06:03:06 PM
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)?
Assuming the minimum relay fee is 1 sat/vbyte, you should be able to bump the fee from 1 sat/vbyte to 2 sat/vbyte.

You couldn't bump the fee from 1.5 sat/vbyte to 2.5 sat/vbyte, maybe because the fee you had paid for the original transaction wasn't exactly 1.5 sat/vbyte or the the fee you were going to pay for the second transaction wasn't exactly 2.5 sat/vbyte.
You could probably replace the original transaction with a new one paying a little more than 2.5 sat/vbyte.


I also don't use RBF all that much. I've seen it recommended in some sites. But from personal experience and probably because I've used bitcoin before RBF as a feature was implemented, I tend to avoid it as well. CPFP would work anyway if you know what you are doing.
Sometimes, the best option is RBF.
If your transaction doesn't include any change and you don't have control over any of outputs, there is no way to implement CPFP and the best thing you can do is to enable RBF.

Another disadvantage of CPFP is that, you have to pay for a new transaction too. This makes CPFP more expensive than RBF.
