I don't know much about the technical parts in bitcoin mining but I'm pretty sure it doesn't go that way. Yes, Aside from the block reward, they also get to keep the transactions fees of the particular block they'd solved but it's just as simple as sending them to an address of their choosing.


According to block explorer's, You've used the outputs (funds) of address 1KfTVrLG376B7SYb1bA6NnY7KyK825T72B to send some bitcoins to the exchange.
(Reference: https://blockchain.info/tx/7b506a1623eb4edc0d10b221c8abc84e2f1c8b59b425cde566dc16b7c25bbdf3).

So this clearly doesn't happen and I don't see the exchange address from 141rWh......Ryp transactions either


From my understanding address 1KfTVrLG376B7SYb1bA6NnY7KyK825T72B isn't from your  HD wallet in blockchain.info right? If yes then it won't show up no matter how many times you try as imported addresses are not included in your seed.


I've said this in my previous post but Isn't that address the one you're talking about below?:

There is a process that you will have to do in order to claim your BCH. If you're thinking that it will just pop-up in your wallet, It's not

Since you're using electrum it will be much easier compared to others. Just install a BCH wallet called electron cash and open your electrum wallet file using it.

If you don't know where your wallet file/s resides. This guide should help you: http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#where-is-my-wallet-file-located

*This is the only official site of Electron cash: https://electroncash.org

It must be because your transaction isn't properly propagated. So I've rebroadcasted it at the following sites here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1938621.0
And it's now viewable in blockchain.info. But please note that rebroadcasting transaction doesn't mean you'll accelerating it, What it does is just reminding your transaction to the miners to avoid getting dropped. It's useful if your transaction has been stucked for hours or days even though it has a decent/high fee, However in your case there are two reasons why it won't work: (It also applies on why it's been unconfirmed for hours)

1). The transaction has an unconfirmed parent, it means the parent has to be confirmed before it does.
2). Both of them has a low included fee. According from: https://bitcoinfees.earn.com, The recommended fee currently is 770 sat per byte and it will probably increase. Meanwhile your transactions have 100+ and 200+ sat/byte

Unconfirmed parent: https://blockchain.info/tx/4b97080cd1a6dcfeb4cefb76d63e742ad55c6b6d04159ac78744de2e01fcd91c
Your transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/f78af9010abbb89df9f2e97e6d2c0a8ed291c69987fc289e2317b4eb0584523f

Have you contacted hitBTC's support regarding this? Although I've been hearing that they don't respond.

I haven't used their service but I've seen enough reviews to tell that they're legit, not to mention they've been here in the community for years.
A great example would be this: https://cointelegraph.com/news/how-we-ordered-from-bitify-a-peer-to-peer-bitcoin-marketplace and as you can see it's posted by a renowed crypto site.

But please be advised that you are not dealing with bitify itself as they only provide a platform and an escrow service. In the end it is a peer to peer marketplace so make sure that the user you're dealing with is trusted. They have this guide which can greatly help you: https://bitify.com/too-good-to-be-true

EDIT: Typo

On a second note it seems after trying it myself a few hours ago, I still got the "submissions are beyond later....". After doing some research, there are a few threads  where users have stated that viabtc won't work for them even though they had tried different schemes.

Anyway, I'm also doing the trial and error thing and it seems that you have a stuck transaction there. If you want I can use your TXID for that, just post it here.
It doesn't guarantee anything but it should increase your chances.


Are you talking about viabtc? Because the required minimum included fee in viabtc is only 10 sat/byte. His transaction was 19 sat/byte so it passed and as mentioned he queued it in their mempool and was confirmed afterwards. You can check it in any block explorers by clicking the block number/height and you'll see that it was relayed by them.

As I said in my previous posts, This is most likely due to the high traffic they're receiving although actually, almost all bitcoin-involved services are affected. The supported coins which are BTC and ETH is both congested until now.

According to their twitter account, They are aware of the problem so contacting support is probably useless as the odds are you will get the same answer.


It seems like the problem still persists until now.

The network is currently congested (200K+ unconfirmed transactions, currently) due to a high demand because of bitcoin's current price so the best option would be to wait until it stabilized. It will most likely happen when a price correction occurs (Huge Price Crash)

On the other hand, you can use transaction accelerators like viabtc but it's not advised to use it now as they are cuurently experiencing some problems probably due to high demand.


To generate a new wallet, This article should help you: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/creating-an-electrum-wallet
* There are different types of wallet which you can generate in electrum, please refer to this: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/electrum-wallet-types

The link I provided above is a site where a lot of electrum tutorial resides so you might want to read them or alternatively, Just use the search bar on the left if you want to know something specific.

Unless your account was created before they changed their policies (long ago) it's impossible to trade without passing the verification process.
I have a legacy account there (unverified) which I created several months ago and it's limit is $2000.

There's no deposit fee's from what I know but some coins has a minimum deposit. Withdrawal fees in bitcoin would be 10K sats.
As for trading fees, You can refer to this: https://poloniex.com/fees

Yes I just saw it and there was a huge uproar because of this price increase considering that the mining difficulty will also continue to increase.

From what I see, The antminer s9 receives a very huge demand from the community so most probably bitmain is taking advantage of it since despite what the others says on various social media platforms people will still buy it and all the slots for each batch will still be taken in just a short amount of time.

With bitcoin's recent price increase, a lot of bitcoin related services has been receiving a high traffic and it can cause a much slower time of response from their support compared than usual. This surely applies to xapo as it is as popular as blockchain.info to newbies. Since you've already sent a support ticket, there's noting you can do except from waiting.

Next time, don't ever use a web wallet especially when they don't give you an access to your private keys. I recommend these:

I'd like to clarify something, So this address 1 (1AXXCct4QATf2UdX92piw1AA2As8AoZaoM) is from your paper wallet? and the funds from it was moved to Address 2 (1KfTVrLG376B7SYb1bA6NnY7KyK825T72B). But when I saw Address 1 transactions from the block explorers the funds were sent to Address 3 (1LsLpbPNS2w98WnKbQ2MmubkQBWhxbPvrz .

• https://blockchain.info/en/address/1AXXCct4QATf2UdX92piw1AA2As8AoZaoM
• https://btc.com/1AXXCct4QATf2UdX92piw1AA2As8AoZaoM

And on this part, It seems that you entered Address 2's private keys to spend the funds and send it to an exchange so it means you have its private keys  
Is this address also belongs to a paper wallet?

When did you create your account? If you created it long ago, you can get a limit of $2000 without doing any kinds of verification except for the email and phone number if I remember correctly. Meanwhile, if you create a new account now, you will not be able to trade unless you've submitted the required details/documents that they ask e.g. Selfie, ID etc.


Honestly, Both exchange has received a lot of accusations about withdrawal problems so I can't really tell as by now I guess It just differs per per person because each of us has a different amounts deposited, trading activity, logging activity etc. In short Even if a user had a problem or not, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will also go through the exact same situation.

Others may say shit about polo but I've used them over a year now and never had any significant problems. As for bittrex, I've never used 'em but the high volume of accusations here in our forum and on the other sites should be considered as a red flag. The same usual saying: An exchange is an exchange so proceed with caution.

P.S. Every exchange's support sucks

BCH by far is the most decent among all forks and it's currently the only fork that is supported by poloniex.

As for BTG, They released a press about it but this was from October: https://poloniex.com/press-releases/2017.10.24-Notice-About-Bitcoin-Gold
Imo poloniex probably won't support it until the devs get their act together and until it received a significant demand from the community.

For the other funny forks such as super bitcoin, bitcoin God, Bitcoin Uranium etc. I'm pretty sure they won't support it and the reason should be obvious.

To keep up what's happening in poloniex. I'll leave the links below:

Track all their press releases here: https://poloniex.com/media-kit
Updates are also made on their Twitter account: https://twitter.com/poloniex

It's either you're too fast or you're not fast enough. There's probably thousands of users trying to get one of the 100 slots in viabtc so you should have submitted your transaction at exactly XX:00:00 or XX:00:01 (slim chance). I mentioned I usually hit the submit button at XX:59:59 because in my case I have to switch to another tab and eventually click the submit button which should just take 1-2 seconds (The captcha should be filled beforehand)

Another tip would be, The timer tab and the viabtc tab should be side by side.

Well if you're that determined to wait for their support instead, of course you can do that. Just brace yourself for the big waiting game since they are under a heavy load of requests so it will be slower then usual.

And I'm pretty sure I've included their details in my previous post but I'll just leave it again below. To clarify, Filling out the request form is the same as sending an email to them so you don't really need the email address moreover it's specially made to cater the users inquiries so be sure to fill out every field as much as possible since it will help to solve the problem faster.

You can also use https://www.antminerdistribution.com aside from bitmain. They've been in business for a long time so they have lots of reviews and also offers reversible payment methods so you're technically safe in case something happens.


Yes all slots for the current batch of S9's have been taken already (Both in bitmain and in antminer) so you will have to wait for the next batch. Subscribing in their newsletter and keeping up with their social media sites will be helpful.


Yes you can buy from the usual usual online sites such as ebay and amazon but I won't recommend it as the price is not just double. I just checked it, It ranges from $5K-10K since some are for bidding 

I assume that you're talking about adding coinhive to your site right? Because if you're talking about doing the javascript mining by yourself, the answer is obviously NO as it's just a waste of time and energy. If you want you can try it for a day or so using freebitcoin??? if my memory serves me right.

Now, Regarding integrating coinhive into your website, It depends on how much traffic you are getting but some articles shows that it's more profitable if we actually use javascript mining rather than ads although this might lead to a backlash from your viewers if you keep it a secret just like what hapened in piratebays.

Try sending an email directly to shapeshift. The user below had the same problem as yours and he solved his problem by contacting shapeshift directly although in his case, he issued a refund. And apparently, he tried to contact blockchain.info's side first but shapeshift was faster to reply.

I'm not familiar with the app and I can't test it either as I don't have any ios device. Although I found the app in appstore and luckily they provided some essential details.


So if you happen to have created a HD wallet, then you should also have your seed (Random words) or maybe you can access it on the app but in most cases the wallet will prompt you to backup your seed when you created a new wallet.

If you have your seed you can try these:

1). Use a tool to generate your private keys (Run this offline, preferably with no network connection)


2). Import it to electrum and spend it there (You can also view your private keys)

*When electrum prompts you to enter your seed, Click options and tick the BIP39 Seed Box

It seems OP is making this look like a ponzi scheme where the old users are paid by the money from the new users which is certainly not. Most likely this is an upfront scam so once you deposited your coins consider it lost and you won't be getting even a single satoshi back.

First, The owner won't release a large amount of money upfront for the sole purpose of making the users think that its legit. It's obvious that he's broke with this poorly made scam. Second, Money from the new investors will certainly not be sufficient to pay for the old users as the concept is to double your bitcoins every 6 hours.

This is why a cloud mining concept for a ponzi scheme is the best fit.

Looks like we will be getting it here also lol.

This guy is a brand new account. Probably he will make a statement later that he successfully doubled his coins
