The signature encompasses the output script and the amount too. Essentially, the signature will contain all of the transaction data (except the scriptsig and the signature itself), the output script is not excluded. The signature basically proves the ability of the transaction to spend the UTXO as well as the transaction outputs. If the transaction output is modified, the signature will not validate and thus the transaction would become invalid.

The address I sent it to wasn't used before. So why is it still confirming even though they have the money? It's 100 confirmations right now
They're probably scamming you. I can't find any information about coinmixer. io, only about coinmixer. se. They aren't updating the status probably to give you a false impression and avoid giving you the money back. Anyone would've accepted the coins and mixed it by now. You probably can't get the money back even though its unspent, do your own due diligence next time when choosing a mixer.

I'm looking for someone to reship some stuff from Canada. It's relatively small, just some health supplements from Amazon.
You must be relatively trusted around here.

I believe consensus is gained through the signaling of full nodes. If you get a super majority (95%+), the proposal/(softfork) will go through, if it's less than that, it won't. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0034.mediawikiAll older clients are compatible with this change. Users and merchants should not be impacted. Miners are strongly recommended to upgrade to version 2 blocks. Once 95% of the miners have upgraded to version 2, the remainder will be orphaned if they fail to upgrade. But this is only for changes to the network, i'm not entirely sure how changes to the bitcoin core wallet software are made, (or rather determined). Signalling of blocks. Its very hard for any single node to detect the flags of the other nodes, though USAF was done through the modification of user agent but consensus is traditionally not determined by that. Versionbit signals for the activation within the last 1000 blocks.

I am in the crypto currency investment since 2017,I uses electrum wallet for storing the bitcoin but I want to know why the people using bitcoin mixers is this to make anonymous transactions? Just help me to understand it clearly.
The purpose of mixer is to ensure that the origin and the destination cannot be traced by the anyone. Transactions aren't really made anonymous through this but it makes it difficult for people to trace the coins back to the origin, without sophisticated analysis (if the mixer isn't good). Some people use it to circumvent certain restrictions tied to their online wallet (eg. Coinbase restricts transactions from gambling sites). If you want to try a mixer, try Chipmixer. It's pretty reliable from my personal experience.

Been looking for something like Purse for a while that didn't have as long of a wait for a tiny discount, what's the maximum amount that can be ordered? I may need your service for a few products, but it depends how much the total order amount can be.
There's no limit per item. It's just the gift card balance after all. I've got loads of value, mostly as rewards (and mturk) and I don't really have much use for them. * As long as its not thousand of dollars.

Are you signing with the correct private key? Key in your redeem script into https://coinb.in/#verify and check if you have used the correct private key corresponding to the correct addresses. Just to confirm, you are putting the raw TX signed by the first key into the second key right? Electrum allows you to setup a multisig wallet and you can sign it there.

And WHY would I not warn people in the same section so it's obvious who is the scammer?
WHY would I remove this message and get people scammed by the ass who hacked me? If I place -this- warning in SCAM acu. there is a good chance somebody will get scammed because he didn't spot my warning
Making sure this warning is on the same page as the scammer, makes sure he will NEVER sell anything.
Is that so hard to get??? Really?
Don't have to be so rude and aggressive, I'm just giving you a suggestion. I definitely didn't ask you to remove this post, just move the post to the appropriate section. Smh. Your topic can only be seen in computer hardware section and he can always scam in other sections or PM. If you move it to scam accusations, some other people would see it and give it a negative feedback. That is way more visible than a topic in the computer hardware.

Move this to scam accusations. It probably won't gain much attention in this section. Added a negative feedback though I'm not in the DT so effects would be limited.

The private key is invalid. Either you mis-typed the private key or the printed private key is wrong. The private key should be 52 characters long.

@Ranochingo, what would be lost with changing from electrum's servers to a more mainstream direct mainnet access. Can't man-in-the middle attacks be done with electrum servers also?
I'm not exactly sure but I don't think the floating fee could be retrieved directly from the peers(?). There's no doubt many of the features will have to be reworked and I imagine that could be a hassle. Don't quote me on this, just a speculation. MITM attacks could be done on Electrum servers if there isn't SSL on it or has a self-signed certificate.

Andreas Schildbach's wallet for android
do you have a link to this wallet source if it is available? If I'm not wrong, the renamed the developers of the android wallet so it doesn't show Andreas Schildbach anymore. It's now Bitcoin Wallet Developers on Google Play. The link is here: https://github.com/bitcoin-wallet/bitcoin-wallet. in any case i believe the Electrum team was trying to solve the man in the middle attacks which is why these Electrum servers which are using SSL encryption are being used. or at least that is the only reason that i could ever find.
Certain servers don't have SSL to it, and some have self-signed certificate. Doesn't seem to be the main reason though many sources state it as an advantage. My take is that Electrum would lose a lot of features if they decide to shift to a non server reliant wallet.

If you're scripting the transaction yourself, you have to specify the UTXOs which you will be spending. Addresses are not specified in the inputs, per se. Just the public key, transaction reference and private key will be included. If you want to do it with blockcypher, then you can look at their API documentation [1]. The API does specify the use of several addresses in the generation of the transaction. I think you can even specify the various parameters of your request [2]. If you don't need to use an API, you can generate your raw transaction on coinb.in.

Hi, thanks for your advise! I think that should be manageable since there is one more Computer. It is running a Windows system. "extracting the private key" - do you mean that I have to put the wallet.dat backup from this computer to another and exchange the wallet.dat file with the one in the bitcoin folder? I just want to be sure that I wont do any mistakes this time Yup. Install Bitcoin Core, run it once and shut down and go to the data directory (usually is at %appdata%/Bitcoin). Just replace the wallet.dat and reopen Core. You can just use the commands to dump the private key out. Don't import it into Electrum preferably. Sweep it and you can just store the seed as a backup.

What do you mean by "buggy" tools to extract the keys from the wallet.dat? Are they not safe to use?
Is the macbook your only computer? If you have another, you can just install Bitcoin Core and extract the private key, no synchronization needed. Pywallet is okay and it isn't exactly risky. It might be hard to use if you're unfamiliar with it. As long as you keep several backups of wallet.dat, you would be fine and you can easily switch to another backup if you mess one up.

1. I know that you can make a P2SH (pay to script hash) address that can be redeemed by a multisig script. But can you create a multisig wallet for P2PKH addresses?
No. P2PKH addresses (prefix of 1) doesn't allow the creator of the address to set a pre-defined condition. P2SH has scripts which allows the creator to set conditions for the outputs to be spent. The only thing that restricts P2PKH is to have a valid signature. 2. Second, I wasn't able to find a decisive answer, so probably what I'm suggesting is not possible. But it won't hurt to ask.
Let's say I want to make a multisig 2 of 3. Is there a way to make one of the signatures mandatory?
Yes. IIRC, one of the post on Bitcointalk was on this and it was possible in theory. I vaguely remember that it was years ago and I forgot all the technical details about it. I'll have to search my post history for a bit.

Most transactions aren't getting mutated for now, as far as I can tell but its definitely possible.
Bitcoin Core's default behavior is to ignore any transactions that spends the same input as in their mempool. This means that if the transaction that is mutated confirms, then the client will be able to see both the non-mutated (original) and mutated transactions. The one that is not in the blockchain (original TXN) will be given a -1.

The electrum client says they don't guarantee BIP39 will always be supported. I take it I can, however, always generate the same addresses+keys in version 3.1.3 with my seed. Just checking to make absolutely sure I don't send anything into a black hole.
As long as your addresses are generated using the seed, you will always be able to recover your addresses with your seeds. The main issue that they've highlighted is that you could forget to add the extra parameters when restoring your wallet in the future and get confused. Its totally fine if you can deal with this.

Is it a scam, they told me they are from bitcoin mining company and they are professional in their job so they are helping us to get more bitcoins.
Smells like a scam Is there such company available. They even send their videos of such mining hardwares used.
No. It's easy for anyone to take videos of random ASICs mining and its not that hard to find. If its so easy for them to get Bitcoins, they wouldn't even have allowed others to put money in to get a cut. Will I get my money back? They Provided my a Private key on amount of 200$ (Private key is only 8 alphabets containing two digits). Also they told once I buy the key I can transfer the bitcoins in other account but it was not possible.
If you've paid them, the chances is slim. Private keys are never that short, they are typically 51+ characters long. You've gotten scammed.
