This is a Bitcoin forum and your question is about an Ethereum wallet. I think you will get better answers if you ask on an Ethereum forum such as https://forum.ethereum.org

...I read one post where it was suggested I try sending another transaction to the same address and the two would be processed as a pair, but that was unsuccessful...

That was not quite the right thing to do. There are two things you can try. I think Core has the ability to do both.

1. If your transaction has a change address, send bitcoins from the change address to yourself with a high fee. If a miner wants the high fee, they will have to include both transactions. This is called "child-pays-for-parent" or CPFP.

2. You can also try sending the same transaction again, but pay a higher fee. This is called "replace-by-fee", or RBF. Note that this this is not the same as sending from the same address.

can you please tell me why you think i do pump and dumps? right now my only current signal is MCO (monaco) which i cant possibly pump, please explain?

Of course I don't know for a fact, but there are reasons to be wary.

1. You are using an anonymous messaging system to announce your signals.
2. If you are legitimate, then you are hurting your own profits because an ethical person would not act on the signal until after announcing it.
3. Telegram groups are now a popular way to do pump-and-dump.

If your transaction has a change address, you can try sending the bitcoins in that address to yourself with a high fee. The second transaction can only be confirmed if the first transaction is confirmed. If the miner wants the high fee, they will have to include both.

You are tired of trying make money with someone else's pump-and-dump scheme so you are creating your own?
i don't understand the "pump-and-dump" thing you meant. and how you can said like that?  Huh
please give me some clue please. iam just new here. there are so many thing to learn here i think.

First, here is what a pump-and-dump scheme is:
Pump and dump is a scheme that attempts to boost the price of a stock through recommendations based on false, misleading or greatly exaggerated statements. The perpetrators of this scheme, who already have an established position in the company's stock, sell their positions after the hype has led to a higher share price.

The operator of a telegram group first buys a bunch of coins, and then tells everyone on the group to buy that coin saying that it will rise. The members of the group start buying and the price rises as they buy. The operator sells on the way up. Then when the members are done buying, the price crashes because nobody else wants to buy and everyone wants to sell. Just about everybody loses except the operator who makes a bunch of money off the members.

  • address - holds bitcoins.

a bitcoin address does not hold anything. there are not bitcoins to hold! there are only transaction outputs which are held on the blockchain.
an address is a Base58-encoded hash of a public key which is then used to send transactions to.

While i agree with that, writing that an address holds bitcoins is simpler and it's not far from the truth. It gets too complex if you try to explain how it really works.

He paid such a low fee that it may never confirm, which means that you might never get them. I would wait another day.

One way to speed up the transaction is to send the bitcoins to yourself (even before you have received them) and pay a very high fee. Some wallets let you do that.

You could also ask the seller to resend the transaction with a higher fee. Some wallets let you do that too.
3568  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Private key and Address wallet on: December 16, 2017, 12:02:35 AM
you can you help my difference between private key and address wallet ?

  • address - holds bitcoins.
  • private key - allows you to send the bitcoins at the associated address.
  • wallet - a container that holds one or more private keys.
  • wallet - in addition to holding private keys, a wallet also typically creates and manages private keys, connects to the bitcoin network, keeps track of the bitcoins at the addresses it manages, and creates and publishes transactions.
  • seed - used by a wallet to generate all of its private keys. It can also be used to recover a wallet.
  • public key - used in a bitcoin transaction, but not something a user will ever encounter

3570  Other / Meta / Re: Negative trust on: December 15, 2017, 11:47:43 PM
Please how can the negative trust{red} on my account be removed. Somebody just misread and misinterpreted my intentions here and put negative trust on me. I never scammed or had intention of doing so.

The only way to get rid of the negative trust is to convince Vod to remove his negative rating. Seeing as you tried to get someone to accept your scam coins (worth $15M lol) as collateral, I don't think that will ever happen.

Negative trust will not kill you. I had negative trust for a while after I was given a negative rating by a trusted user in retaliation for giving him a negative rating for selling counterfeit gold bars.

You might try contacting the BitGive Foundation (https://www.bitgivefoundation.org/)
3572  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: does private keys really safe on: December 15, 2017, 11:31:31 PM
That page is real.

A private key is just a number in the range 1 to almost 2256. The number 10 is a private key. The number 1000000 is a private key. The number 12345678790 is a private key.

The security is in the fact that the range is so large that the chances of finding a private key that is being used is too small to even try.

Now, the danger with that page is that it encourages you to enter a private key. DO NOT GIVE ANY OF YOUR PRIVATE KEYS TO THAT PAGE. With a private key, they can easily steal your bitcoins.

What? I think you just aren't comprehending.
Bitcoin network will "use as much electricity as the entire world does today" by early 2020
Can you think of anything valuable to add to the discussion?
Ok, suppose you are correct and that is the actual intent of the statement. Then, here is another freebie:

2. Let's assume energy production increases 10% in the next 2 years (by 2020). It's a reasonable assumption. If in 2020 Bitcoin uses today's total energy consumption, then there is only 10% left for everything else. That would never happen. I will leave it to you to figure out why.

Strongly disagree with your use of the word never in this case. Especially when you provide no supporting details

Be careful making such egregious statements

Ok, I'll give you the easy one.

1. It is impossible for mining Bitcoins (or any other usage, for that matter) to exceed 100% of total energy consumption.

Can you think of any others?
3578  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to send btc from a specific address? on: December 15, 2017, 06:44:54 AM
I'm not clear on what you are trying to do, but your wallet will decide on which addresses to send from and it can send from any addresses that it controls. You don't have to worry or even think about the addresses that it holds. The wallet manages all that for you.

If you want to separate addresses, then you would need separate wallets. Some wallets have a feature that will split your addresses into different "accounts" that don't interact with each other. I don't know if Electrum has that feature or not.

1) Its a bubble;
No, to have a bubble, you need first over value a thing… BTC is not even started yet!

So, then you don't consider the rise from $100 to $1200 in 2013 and subsequent fall to $200 to have been a bubble? Or the rise from $1 to $30 and subsequent fall to $0.25 in 2011 to have been a bubble? What then is your definition of a bubble?

2) I am going to sell at xxx USD.

I totally agree. You can't predict the future price by looking at the current price.

5) Bitcoin was the first but AOL was also the first and can be replaced by....
Bitcoin could easily be replaced by a better technology. It may never go away completely, but its popularity could fall and people could move on to a better currency. It would whither way like the 1000's of forgettable altcoins that used to be popular.

6) Should I invest now or am I to late…

I wish people would stop investing in Bitcoin and start using Bitcoin. That would solve a lot of problems.

Bitcoin Mining is on pace to exceed the World's energy use by 2020!  Cry

Your homework for tonight is to think of 3 reasons why that could never happen.
