The fee is quite reasonable for such a transaction. However, you are using a 2fa wallet which means that you also have to pay TrustedCoin for signing the transaction. According to their FAQ, they charge 0,0005 BTC per transaction. I am quite sure it used to be 0,001 BTC, though. Try here: https://api.trustedcoin.com/#/electrum-helpThey stopped doing a "per transaction" fee... and moved to a "pre pay" system. So, you either prepay for 20 transactions @ 0.00005 BTC/tx == 0.001 BTC Total... or you prepay for 100 transactions @ 0.000025 BTC/tx == 0.0025 BTC total. Best solution is that provided by Abdussamad... create a new wallet by using "File -> New/Restore -> Standard Wallet -> I already have a seed"... enter in your seed (it'll be detected as 2fa_segwit")... and click next and you'll be prompted if you want to "keep" or "disable":  Make sure you select "disable"... this will restore your wallet with 2 of the 3 private keys required to be able to sign messages WITHOUT needing to use TrustedCoin... After the wallet is created, you can confirm that it worked, by clicking the "blue shield" icon in the bottom right corner:  and you should see the following message:  You should then be able to send ALL your funds (minus the small transaction fee, of course  |

I have uninstalled Electrum, it has 3 versions - https://electrum.org/#downloadI tried two, first was was .exe, second was 'windoe installer. i do not have the option you selected? Posted?? It goes straight to select hardware/ i enter it and NOTHIHNG?? I have uninstalled and reintalled BUT i think its looking at the electrum folder? When you uninstall... it DOES NOT remove the Electrum data directory... so all your previously wallets will still exist. So, what is happening, is that when you are starting Electrum, it is trying to open your old wallet... that has the wrong derivation path and wrong addresses in it! Just relax, take a moment... and in Electrum select: "File -> New/Restore -> 'enter new wallet name' -> Standard Wallet -> Use a hardware device -> It should find your ledger, if not, connect it, unlock it and open the "bitcoin" app on the device and click next"... it'll then prompt you for the address type:  Select the 2nd option here... "p2sh-segwit (p2wpkh-p2sh)"... select whether or not you want to encrypt the wallet file... and then your wallet will be created and you should be able to see all your addresses/transaction history/balance. HELP, Just drunk a can to calm my nerves!!!
Don't drink and bitcoin! It can lead to coin loss  |

I have a TREZOR Cold wallet which bitpay doesnt integrate with, so the only way to complete the transaction was through ELECTRUM. I completed the transaction. Which option did you use in Electrum when creating your wallet?  Did you "create a new seed", did you use your TREZOR seed with "I already have a seed" or did you select the "use a hardware device" option?  If you selected "create a new seed" and then sent funds from Trezor to Electrum (or used your Trezor seed with the "I already have a seed" option) and then transferred the money to Bitpay... then it's highly likely that your Electrum wallet has been compromised... If you selected the "use a hardware device" option, and used your Trezor device through Electrum, then I would think that it is very unlikely that your wallet has been compromised. I am confused if Bitpay invoices is possible to complete from some other wallet. You can use any BIP70 compatible wallet.

To be honest I am a bit confused by this too. I had bitcoin-qt open for several days while it downloaded the blockchain. Whenever I load it up bitcoin-qt it always takes a few mins to resync.
However when I run bitcoind, it appears to suggest that I still have a significant way to go to finish downloading the blockchain...?
If that is indeed the case, then it is possible that your bitcoin-qt and bitcoind are syncing to 2 different locations... In Bitcoin-qt... goto "Windows -> Information" and look for the "Datadir" and "Blocksdir" values:  When you run "bitcoin-cli"... what value are you using for the -datadir argument? Is it the same or different to the "Datadir" value displayed in bitcoin-qt? |

I created a ProtonMail account last week and was able to do so using just the Captcha... I suspect that this is an "Evil IP"™ or "Evil Country"™ type situation where users in certain locations or IP ranges are unable to use the Captcha method and are forced to either pay or provide an email. And I just checked now... and it still shows me the Captcha method as an option for "Are you human?": 
You can, just use the promo coupon BF2019
When I attempt to use the coupon code "BF2019" (as extracted from the "get deal" URL), it ends up being way more expensive than using the "BUNDLE" code!!?! Ummmm yeah...  |

The best thing you can do is simply be patient and wait for a response from the forum admins. There are literally millions of BitcoinTalk accounts... and I doubt you are the only one currently attempting to recover your account. Admins are busy people with real lives etc. If you followed the instructions in the pinned post by Theymos about how to recovery accounts and you provided all the necessary information, then there is nothing more you can do at this point except wait for them. Only the admins can recover your account (and get it unbanned as well). No one else can help you regardless of any information or proof that you offer to provide. |

I used Reshacker, how can i dump it with pywallet.py if its not wallet.dat files?
Obviously, you can't... if it isn't an actual "wallet.dat" file created by Bitcoin Core... then pywallet is useless, as pywallet is designed to work with Bitcoin Core wallet.dat files. Why would you want to "dump" a non wallet file anyway? There is not point, it doesn't contain any private keys. Alot of files are encrypted with truecrypt but i manage to found some deleted before encryption. This 3 files give me same private key aswel this Archive_14197968.raf.dat https://ibb.co/tKpKJR9I highly doubt those files are giving you anything useful at all... Your wallet file is lost. You will not be able to recover your private keys or your bitcoins. |

I'm trying to work out exactly what is included in the ProtonMail + ProtoVPN "bundle"... it doesn't seem to say exactly what "plans" you're getting for both services? Also, it says it is for "new and free users"... but I can't seem to get this deal to activate in my currently "free" account? When I try to "get the deal", it wants me to sign up a new account... or if I click the "already have an account" option, I don't get the 50% off deal showing up in my dashboard? When I attempt to use the coupon code "BF2019" (as extracted from the "get deal" URL), it ends up being way more expensive than using the "BUNDLE" code!!?! |

Most likely the files you have recovered are NOT wallet files... just because it ends in .dat does not mean it is a wallet file. ".dat" is simply a generic file extension (used by a number of different applications and even operating systems) to denote that it is a "data" file storing, generally storing binary data... as opposed to a text file (.txt) or a picture file (.jpg, .gif, .png...) etc. In most cases, they are only able to be opened "properly" with the application that created them. |

I believe that mnemonics work the same way and should give same addresses no matter which wallet they were derived from?!?
Only as long as the derivation paths used are the same... I've seen wallets that use m/0, m/44'/0'/0' and m/44'/0'/0'/0' Also, as mentioned previously... Electrum is a unique case in that it generates it's own proprietary seed mnemonics. They are NOT BIP39 compatible... if you try and import an Electrum seed into a BIP39 wallet, chances are that you will get an "invalid mnemonic" error. There are some rare instances where an Electrum seed will actually be recognised as a valid BIP39 seed, but it will generate different addresses. Mostly, because Electrum uses a default passphrase of "electrum"(+user passphrase if any)... whereas BIP39 wallets use a default passphrase of "passphrase"(+user passphrase if any). Because of this difference in the way the passphrase is constructed, there is 0% chance of a BIP39 wallet generating the same addresses that Electrum will generate from an Electrum seed mnemonic... regardless of the derivation path being used. |

thanks a lot for your quality responses
with those changes it works but the final character was a spacebar...
You can't put the "space" in the [...]'s... If you do that, it thinks that is the "end" of your token (and why you get the error). So, if you think that you might have used a space in your password... you'll need to make a slightly more complex token file... something like this: %0,1[aAbBcCdDeEfFgGhHiIjJkKlLmMnNñÑoOpPqQrRsStTuUvVwWxXyYzZ0123456789ºª\!|"@·#$~%€&¬/()=¿?'¡`+^*[´¨{}Çç,;.:-_] %s

This file basically tells btcrecover to create a password created from 9 tokens as follows Token 1 = Nothing OR 1 of the chars in [] OR space Token 2 = Nothing OR 1 of the chars in [] OR space ... Token 9 = Nothing OR 1 of the chars in [] OR space So, it *should* create all combinations of 0-9 character passwords, where each char can be any of the ones you have specified OR space Also, you can make it a little more tidy by using: the "a-z" and "0-9" notations... %0,1i[a-zñÑ0-9ºª\!|"@·#$~%€&¬/()=¿?'¡`+^*[´¨{}Çç,;.:-_] %s

I have a similar question, I had no seed words, but I have a private key, is there any way to recover the seed words for ethereum wallet address?
No. You cannot work backwards from a private key to the seed that generated it. Note that the words are simply a more human friendly "encoding" for the seed itself (which is just a very very very VERY large number) |

Right now, I decided to specify all of my keyboard characters with the token below:
%0,9[aAbBcCdDeEfFgGhHiIjJkKlLmMnNñÑoOpPqQrRsStTuUvVwWxXyYzZ0123456789ºª\!|"@·#$~%%€&¬/()=¿?'¡`+^*[´¨{}Çç,;.:-_ ]
Because I must not have more than 9 characters... but i got this error
Starting btcrecover 0.17.10 on Python 2.7.17 64-bit, 16-bit unicodes, 32-bit ints
btcrecover.py: notice: use --android-pin to recover the spending PIN of
a Bitcoin Wallet for Android/BlackBerry backup (instead of the backup password)
btcrecover.py: error: on line 1: invalid wildcard (%) syntax (use %% to escape a %)
i saved the file as utf-8 and included --utf8 on comand
Yes, you only specify %% when you a creating a "single" char token... when you're specifying chars in [...] format... you just use a single %. I've just tested it... and created the following token file: And then tested using: btcrecover.py --tokenlist myTokens.txt --listpass It output: a

In addition to that... there is a weird character just before your final "]" which is actually what is causing your error... you need to delete that and the extra %... so your token file should looks something like this: %0,9[aAbBcCdDeEfFgGhHiIjJkKlLmMnNñÑoOpPqQrRsStTuUvVwWxXyYzZ0123456789ºª\!|"@·#$~%€&¬/()=¿?'¡`+^*[´¨{}Çç,;.:-_]The next problen will be when i would solved the error, it could take weeks, months, years¿? for %0,9 characters
it is crazy, i have read about doing it on amazon web services, although I have to research about it, I think it could be more complicated than download python and following tutorials...
What do you think?
Yes... a 9 character password, with that many special chars will take a LONG time to test... With 104 possible characters, it's something ridiculous like 1,423,311,812,421,484,500 possible combinations just for the 9 character passwords... then you have the 8 char passwords, 7 chars, 6 chars etc etc. All up, (with my bad maths) it is something like 1,437,130,373,707,129,900 combinations  If you can check 1,000,000,000 passwords/second... You would need: ~1437130373.73 seconds to check them all... = ~23952172.9 minutes = ~399202.9 hours = ~16633.5 days = ~45.6 years  You might be better off trying to exclude some characters which you're fairly sure you would not have used to reduce the total search space to a more reasonable amount. You can also try and do it using Amazon Web Services, but the costs can get prohibitive... so unless you have a significant amount of money in this wallet, that might not be the most cost effective way of doing it. Again, talking to wallet recovery experts who already have the equipment and code setup and ready to go might be a better option. |

Just FYI, you should "break" that URL so it isn't directly clickable. Aside from protecting less "able" users, it'll help prevent Google indexing etc. |

You can make the payment directly to that address, but their internal ledger system generates some kind of code or invoice that gives you proof that you made the payment and it also validates your payment and then activate your subscription after you did the payment via their service. So how do you make that direct payment and then trigger the whole validation thing to activate your subscription or have proof that the payment was done? (I think most of them use this system, because it leaves a paper trail for auditing and tax purposes) It is all triggered simply by THAT address receiving THAT many satoshi's. It has nothing to do with any special magical code or invoice... If I took that payment URL and put it into Electrum (or Bitcoin Core or any other BIP70 compatible wallet) it would still work... all they do is exactly what that website does, connects to the URL and retrieves the appropriate info (ie. what address to send to? how much to send?) Basically, their "internal system" simply creates a unique deposit address for you to send a specific amount to (and starts a 15 minute timer)... if it detects a transaction is broadcast that pays (at least) that amount to the address within that 15 minutes, then it will become "pending". Once the transaction is actually confirmed on the blockchain (I think it's only a minimum of 1 confirmations... might be 3? ), then it's marked as "paid" and the merchant receives a confirmation from BitPay that the invoice has been paid and to do whatever they need to do (send goods, activate subscription etc). If you need "proof" that you sent the payment... well, that's what the blockchain is for... the payment is there for all to see. I think that it's handy to decode the BitPay invoice yourself anyway, then you can see the InvoiceID's and MerchantID's, addresses and amounts etc... so you have a record of those too! Also, Why is your post formatting all weird? With extra line breaks etc? Are you doing that on purpose? |

Using faucet hub i withdrew 2000 doge coins. Faucet hub being a micro wallet i had several different addresses per coin. My problem is now i cant find my 2000 doge coins? I dont know which platform or site that particular doge address is linked to. How can i find out where my doge address goes to or
As far as I'm aware, there is no easy way to be able to identify which wallet/platform/site an address is linked to. That is to say, there is no "global directory" etc. At best you can put the address into Google and see if it pops up any results relating to a particular website (unlikely)... or you can try searching for that address on a block explorer and see if any of the transaction history triggers your memory as to what wallet/site it might be from. how to reverse the transaction? This is impossible... there is no way to reverse transactions. |

Newbie btcshaker created a post with content that is used on several other sites: One of the "originals": btcshaker.com Ummmm... you might want to list some of the other sites that this is potentially pulled from... As you've posted it, it simply looks like they're "copying" from their own site But yes, it does indeed look like it's simply a fake bitcoin mixer template that is probably being sold as a package on darkweb/hacking sites... |

or are you saying in general that when generating paper wallets online regardless of how you save them is risky?
This. Paper wallets should absolutely be generated "offline". There are some good tips relating to creating Bitcoin Paper Wallets here: https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/#securityNOTE: this is not a recommendation for using their system/software, but the information and tips they have on the site are pretty solid. |

Most sites require BitPay for the payments, but if people have to go through all this sh1t to setup a wallet, I do understand why they just give up on
You don't have to use the Bitpay wallet to be able to make Bitpay payments... they have tried to obfuscate things with forcing the BIP70 payment protocol... but you have the option of using other BIP70 compatible wallets as mentioned above... or you can use this decoder: https://decoder.bip70.org/In amongst a bunch of other data, it'll show you the address and amounts etc and you can just make the payment manually... just like the good ol' days before Bitpay tried to force BIP70 on everyone.  And not to mention it takes ages to download and install though the Microsoft app manager (not sure about others but it took a long time for me).

Let's say that 5 years ago you downloaded Bitcoin Core, you have had a password( passphrase) for unlock your wallet and like that you could see you privatekey with dumprivkey "publickey"
Nowadays, you have a new computer and download again Bitcoin Core, HOW can you with your password(passphrase) you used for lock and unlock your wallet 5 years ago, find back your private key with dumprivkey " public key"?
Do you have a copy of your old wallet.dat from the Bitcoin Core on your "5 years ago" computer? If you do not, then you cannot recover your private keys. They are stored in the wallet.dat file... they are not "generated" from the passphrase in Bitcoin Core. All the Bitcoin Core passphrase does is encrypt/decrypt the data stored in your wallet.dat file. No wallet.dat == no private keys. |
