341  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: S-starting mini private key sweep on: March 06, 2024, 02:46:48 PM
If you sweep using the the mini private key the button is grayed out it doesn't work.

You can try to import the mini private key as a new wallet check the image below.


Paste the mini key and the button should not be grayed out then next and then make sure to transfer it to your new wallet for safety purposes. I tried this with a mini private key from Cassasius coin and it works just fine. The sweep option does not work to me the button is greyed out.

Also, take note the only use of a VPN is to hide your IP and encrypt your traffic but it doesn't mean the internet provider won't see what you visited VPN can only help to encrypt the traffic and make it more difficult for the internet provider to decrypt it and know what you visited. However, it enhances your privacy.

For a wallet like Electrum, you can use it through tor to hide if you are using Electrum wallet. Check this guide below

- https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tor.html

For Exodus I no longer use this wallet all tokens and coins have been moved to exchanges but it seems you can use Exodus via tor.

If you want to be completely anonymous while using wallets then I suggest install tails OS so you can not connect to the internet until you are connected to the TOR network which is way safer than just using a VPN. Tails OS also supports Electrum and I think Exodus also supports it.
343  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Connection issue with my local full node on: March 05, 2024, 06:13:57 PM
Do you have an Electrum server installed?
If you're running a full node, using the local IP and port alone will not work. Make sure to install the Electrum server to use it as your local/personal server and you should be able to use it in your Electrum wallet if you set up the server properly.

Here's two of them including the guide Electrum Personal server and ElectrumX server
344  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does any meme coin has the ability to challenge bitcoin dominance ? on: March 05, 2024, 12:58:52 PM
Why would you challenge Bitcoin? If Bitcoin didn't exist do you think these memecoin exist?

Like they said Bitcoin is the king no one will be able to replace its position.
Meme coins just suddenly rose due to the upcoming Bitcoin block halving event so how can memecoin dominate Bitcoin?
345  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What you think about this ponzi scheme ? on: March 05, 2024, 11:39:54 AM
How did you find this site?

It looks like a cloud-mining but why the theme is Pepe token but it asking for a BNB?

According to Whois it is a month-old site and I don't see anything interesting on the site but it asks for a wallet to connect obviously this is a scam phishing site if you attempt to connect your wallet to this site all your funds will be stolen.
So you are in the bad direction or are you trying to get a link here?
346  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is it possible to run Bitcoin node on my HP Intel i7 on: March 05, 2024, 11:16:25 AM
Greetings honorable member of this prestigious forum. I love to know if it is possible to run a node on my HP Intel i7 laptop, if possible, I also want to know how to run it , what it will cost and what will be my profit.  Thanks in anticipation

Having a Bitcoin node doesn't make you profit the only benefit of having a full node is privacy unless you are planning to run a lightning node you can earn in lightning but it's not worth it.

About your system specs yes you can run a full node with your laptop except if you have limited hard disk space.
347  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Please help - passport or jade ? on: March 04, 2024, 10:50:37 PM
For comparison, the Passport from Foundation is way better than the DIY Blockstream Jade hardware wallet which does not support most of Bitcoin wallets.

If you are looking for other open-source bitcoin wallets we have a thread here with a bit of comparison including the DIY hardware wallets.

Here's the thread below

Weird am I the only one who experiences some issues?
I tried to select what assets to exchange but it doesn't show anything or the drop-downs are blank.

Another thing I noticed is that after accessing the FAQ page it shows a 404 error.

Is this still under develop or I'm just one who experienced some bugs?
349  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitclub Network on: March 03, 2024, 07:44:52 PM
1BTC is such a huge amount you should have already made a big profit if you just held it until now.

The sad part is they still giving you false hope that they are going to reactivate your account. Like they said above there is no legit website that asks for payment just to reactivate or reopen your account if they ask it's a 100% scam.

The chances of recovering your BTC from them is 0% It is really painful and there's nothing we can do but accept the mistake that you made before.
Next time before you send BTC to any website or to anyone do a deep research first or ask here on the forum before you send.
350  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum watch on with no xpub is fine and no issues ? on: March 03, 2024, 06:55:11 PM
Someone mentioned that xpub created watch only wallets can create new addresses but if you make a watch only with a single address it can not.
I noticed a discussion where they said something about you could have an issue with " change"

But I wasnt sure what they meant and I think they never came back to explain further. .

Thanks.

xPub is a master public key it contains all BTC addresses derived from a single seed.
If you just imported a single private key it only contains one address it won't generate a multiple BTC address.

Since you talking about the change you don't need to be worry about the change once you made a transaction from watch only wallet. The change amount will be sent to your address.
351  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: 2-month-old transaction still unconfirmed, stuck in mempool on: March 03, 2024, 01:56:47 PM
Thanks. Maybe pooya87's post explains what's going on with this stuck tx. Another strange thing about the tx is that it vanished from the mempool for awhile, then returned days later. I actually sent the second payment attempt (which confirmed) from the same wallet, not a different one. (I misremembered that detail in my original post.) I did this because the first transaction had been purged. So now that it's back in the mempool, I'm wondering whether it will be confirmed along with any future transactions I send. For now I'll just keep waiting, don't want to risk it. It's not a high amount, but would rather not waste it if avoidable

I'm just adding this if you don't know how to perform the suggestion above check the image below to point you to the right direction.


On the Electrum menu go to Tools> Network> uncheck server automatically> then choose any server pointed from this image below right-click then use as a server.



Check them one by one as suggested above until your unconfirmed transaction become local and then delete it.

It's too risky to go directly on trading without knowledge actually most of basic trading is already on exchange you just need to search more a bit to find those guides.
Sample Binance has a comprehensive guide check the link below

- https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/a-complete-guide-to-cryptocurrency-trading-for-beginners

For beginners to advanced, I have a good list including the tools that you can use check the link below and start reading technical and fundamental analysis

353  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Is there a quick solution to Blockchain Rescan Failed ? on: March 02, 2024, 05:54:17 PM
Take note that the current latest version of Bitcoin Core is 26.0 it would be better if you upgrade Bitcoin core to the most recent version.

Instead of using "rescanblockchain" have you tried to run Bitcoin core with "-rescan"? It won't take too long to rescan depending on your unit specs.
354  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: avalon 920p error occur when i turn on the fourth device on: March 02, 2024, 04:33:37 PM
thx , i found the problem and it is due to high temperature When it reaches 115, it restarts, and when I turn on the device alone, the temperature appears normal, but when I turn on more than one device, a problem begins. I think it is a problem with the Raspberry Pi or the AUC.

How far are these units from each other?
I don't know how you set up these units, but if it's just a temp issue, then make sure that the hot air from the unit does not hit each other and should be well positioned to avoid overheating issue.
If it still doesn't work try to force the unit to force the fan to run at high speed or full speed.

Here's the command below to set the fan I don't know if this command will work on this unit but on latest canaan units this command below works using the FMS tool you can download it from here https://download.canaan-creative.com/fms/

Code:
[{"command":"ascset","parameter":"0,fan-spd,90"}]
355  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Seed and hardware wallets on: March 01, 2024, 10:07:05 PM
You are supposed to save the seed phrase backup anywhere somewhere safe if you don't save it or lose and forgot the seed phrase you don't have other choice but to transfer funds from the ledger to a new wallet and reset the ledger hardware device to generate a new seed phrase backup and transfer all funds back to your ledger wallet.

About Bitbox hardware wallet yes they do have advantage features that you can't find on the ledger wallet like "show BIP39 Mnemonic" and take note Ledger doesn't have an open-source code we do not know how safe the ledger wallet is.

All open-source hardware wallets are much safer than closed hardware wallets like Ledger check other open-source hardware wallets from this link below.

356  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: myNode support on Telegram. Is it awful ? on: March 01, 2024, 09:20:04 PM
That is the Telegram channel in question. Surprisingly it looks so legitimate. I'm not sure what to think anymore.
Perhaps some dude registered on that channel and tried some shenanigans.
The thing is, more that one attempt to get support lead me to become suspicious.
What is your opinion of the channel at first look? Try them out with some questions perhaps.

It seems that mynodebtc.com is legit but the problem if you are talking about a random guy on their telegram support.
That's suspicious if they ask related to your private keys because it is supposed to be secret and you should be the only one who knows your private key.
Even if they are a support on "mynodebtc" you shouldn't share this key with anyone. Please be careful I believe the guy you talking to is not a mynodeBTC support.
357  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: I found an old disk wallet.dat but on: March 01, 2024, 08:34:10 PM
Run Bitcoin Core with -rescan but before doing anything else about the wallet.dat file you found please make a backup first so that if you mess up with the first recovery attempt and it becomes corrupted you have a backup copy.

To run Bitcoin Core with -rescan just edit the Bitcoin Core shortcut file and paste the "-rescan" under the target and then apply.
Check this image below



Run the Bitcoin core and let's hope it fixes your issue.
358  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: local bitcoin alternative on: March 01, 2024, 12:02:46 AM
I tried a few searches and it shows only one person who buys Bitcoin at a very cheap price and I don't think there is someone who will trust this because he needs to contact the seller directly the payment method is also not specified which payment he prefers but a few seller with the same info but it prefers wise payment which is not a local payment in my country.

Since this is new and you want your website to be trusted then hire a campaign manager it's just my suggestion because no one would trust to use this website.
359  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum connecting to a "risky destination" on: February 29, 2024, 10:46:51 PM
I was still running Electrum 4.2 (woops), which I downloaded in 2022. I think your explanation may be correct, that the domain used to be legitimate, was still included in Electrum 4.2's server list, and is now flagged as malicious by antivirus programs. I didn't connect to the URL, and my wallet is watch-only, so I don't think any harm was done. But if malware added the network to my server list, then I may still have something on my computer that I need to clean up.

To answer promise's questions: I downloaded Electrum 4.2.2 from electrum.org in June, 2022. I verified the keys to the best of my ability. I wasn't using Tor or the dark web at the time.
Electrum 4.2 is an old version of Electrum this might be the reason why the Antivirus was triggered why don't you try upgrading Electrum to the latest version 4.5.3?

Since it's just a watch-only wallet it won't get any harm to your wallet but if your system is infected or the wallet is fake then anytime they can manipulate Electrum wallet to generate a raw transaction for an offline transaction that contains their wallet BTC address. So, it is better to uninstall this old version of Electrum wallet and use the latest version make sure to verify it first before you install it for safety purposes and make sure you have a separate wallet for your offline wallet.

If you doubt that the current PC is infected then you will need to reinstall a fresh OS and reformat the PC for safety purposes.
360  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum connecting to a "risky destination" on: February 29, 2024, 05:10:53 PM
I've been running Electrum for a long time, but this is the first time I've had my antivirus block it for trying to connect to a "risky destination."

The URL it tried to connect to begins with electrumx and ends with dot info. According to my research, this URL is associated with malware.

Electrum has never given me trouble before, so I'm pretty sure I installed a legitimate copy. The malware probably originated elsewhere and infected my Electrum. Any idea what malware it is and what I should do about it?

(P.S. My wallet is watch-only, so there's no great risk at the moment.)

How are you sure that you installed a legitimate copy? Did you verify it?
If you verified it with the GPG tool and the public key provided from the Electrum download page then you are safe.  

About the antivirus, if it's just a server then you can change it on the Electrum tools>network and uncheck the "select server automatically" and choose other server that you know safe.
