Oh my bad isnt it considered based on the registration of the user device IP?
That's right. The evil points are calculated based on the IP address you use for registration of your account and decayes over time. The IP address you use for logging in to your account has no effect on your evil points.

And if I were a mod, this would take priority against rule 21, because it unfairly bumps the thread to the top, so I would delete the newest bump first. Then the old bump may no longer break rule 21. But again, that's just my interpretation.
If there's no other post between those bumps and they have been made in less than 24 hours, I would report the newest post for breaking rule number 32 (making multiple posts in a row). If so, there's a high probability that moderators delete the last post.  


I really don't see the rule to be applied now a days as activity alone can't make someone higher rank. Nack in the day, when merit wasn’t introduced, the rule was applied so that people stop spamming to rank up their id.
The rule in question is still being applied.
People don't bump the topics to increase their activity number and rank up. They bump the topics to bring them to top of the boards.

Seems you enabled ip restrictions, enabling that feature is only helpful if you have static ip address, in the case you get different ip address from your isp you will encounter this.
I don't think that's the case.
The article you shared says that if you enable IP restrictions, you can log in to your account only from a certain static IP address and you can't log in with other IP addresses at all.
According to the image posted by OP, he/she has logged in to the account.

If you have your mnemonic seed/backup phrase, you can easily import it to another wallet like electrum (how to)
I agree with using more secure wallets like electrum instead of web wallets like blockchain wallet, but that's not the solution here.
According to OP, he/she is able to send and receive bitcoin. OP's problem is probably with blockchain.com exchange not with their wallet.

Each of (full) nodes has a copy of the entire blockchain.
For changing the number of bitcoins you have, the only thing you can do is change the data stored in your computer. You can't change the data stored by other nodes.

Any transaction needs to be validated by majority of nodes and confirmed by miners, so it can be added to the blockchain. If a transaction is not accepted by majority of the nodes, it can't enter the blockchain.

First of all note that it's not possible to delete an account on this forum.

I'm not sure I am understanding you correctly. Is your problem with the saved username and the password of that account on your browser?
If so, any browser you are using, it should allow you to remove saved usernames and passwords.
For example, in Chrome you can go to "Manage passwords" and remove any password you want. In Firefox, you can click on "Menu" button and then select "Passwords".

No, that address is owned by pointbiz. (Look at his/her signature).

Your transaction fee is too low and as it hasn't been flagged as RBF, you can't increase the fee.

Do you have control over the receiving address?
If you own the receiving address and it belongs to a non-custodial wallet, you can implement CPFP (Child Pay For Parent) method.
In this method, you should spend the output of the unconfirmed transaction with a high fee, so it makes both transactions confirmed in a same block.

If you don't have control over the receiving address, there's nothing you can do other than wait.

Has PayPal allowed users to be able to send and receive Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies supported, because it did not allow that before, you can only use PayPal to buy and sell, you can not use it to send and receive.
You are right. They don't allow users to deposit and withdraw bitcoin. But they have announced that they will allow users to do so in future. There is no detailed information about their plan and when they will implement this, off course.

As many of you suggests to never reuse addresses, i cant get it how do you avoid reusing, you eventually will have to use fund from change address, and whatever transaction you do it will consider reusing.
Not reusing an address means not using an address for receiving bitcoin multiple times and not using the sending address as the change address.
It doesn't mean you shouldn't spend the fund you have received.

You should use every address two times. One time for receiving bitcoin and one time for spending bitcoin. After that you should no longer use that address.

Again, note that you can use any bitcoin address numerous times. You shouldn't reuse an address only if you want to protect your privacy.
3631  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Coin control, what addresses can and can`t be used for change on: June 09, 2021, 01:01:11 PM
as on of the comments suggest to avoid reusing change address, makes me confuse, because eventually i will have to use up the amount from change address, so i will have to use it somehow. How then can i avoid reusing the change address?  
All is related to your privacy.
It is always recommended to not reuse addresses. There's no difference if the address is a change address or not.
Let's say you are supposed to send me bitcoin. If I give you a used address, you can check all my previous transactions easily.

It is also recommended to not use the sending address as the change address and always use a new address as your change address. In this way, the remainder of your fund is moved to a new address after every transaction and tracking your previous transactions becomes difficult.
If you use the sending address as the change address, it's easy for every one to find out which output is the change and which one is the recipient address.
3632  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Segwit to P2SH Nested Segwit on: June 09, 2021, 12:34:16 PM
Why it says failed? I'm not a pro. Can you please share more details on it? Why would it show failed although I can use the address?
All wallets I know create the BIP39 seed phrase with a correct checksum.
Electrum allows you to import a seed phrase even if the checksum is not correct. When electrum displays a message saying checksum is failed, it is actually warning you that the seed phrase you are using isn't standard and you will not be able to recover your private keys using other wallets.

Note that in a 12 word seed phrase, there are 132 bytes while the last 4 bytes are checksum. (Each word includes 11 bytes)
When you generate a BIP39 seed phrase, you actually select 128 out 132 bytes by chance and the last 4 bytes are a function of other bytes.
If the last 4 bytes are selected arbitrary, we will have a non-standard BIP39 seed with a failed checksum.
3633  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Segwit to P2SH Nested Segwit on: June 09, 2021, 10:08:01 AM
I used mobile electrum wallet for it, that means it is different from how desktop electrum wallet will work, while desktop electrum is far the best to use.
Are you sure you checked "BIP39" when creating the wallet?
I used the same seed phrase for creating the wallet.
As you see in the image below, it's possible to click on "Next".




If you check BIP39, Electrum can create the wallet even from random characters either in desktop or in mobile.
Look at images below.







Edit:
I was using an old version of electrum on my mobile. I just updated it to the latest version.
It no longer allows me to create a wallet with a non-BIP39 seed or a failed-checksum BIP39 seed after I check "BIP39".

Charles-Tim is right about the mobile version.

I don't know why developers designed the new version in this way.
This makes the recovery difficult for those who have made a wallet with a failed-checksum BIP39 seed and don't have access to the desktop version for any reason.

As stated by nc50lc above, this is why no one should use a non-standard method for creating a HD wallet.
3634  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Segwit to P2SH Nested Segwit on: June 07, 2021, 01:15:35 PM
First of all, you should know that you can't upgrade an existing wallet to another type.
For example, you can't upgrade a legacy wallet to a segwit wallet. If you want to store your bitcoin in a segwit address while it's now in a legacy address, you have to create a new wallet and send all your fund from the old wallet to the new wallet.

Now let's back to your question.
Electrum doesn't generate a nested segwit wallet for you.
If you want to have a nested segwit wallet in electrum, you have to generate a BIP39 seed phrase somewhere else and import it into electrum. For this purpose, you must  select "I already have a seed", check BIP39 seed on "options" and select p2sh-segwit as the script type when creating the wallet in electrum.


By the way, is there any reason you want to use a nested segwit wallet?
You can pay lower fees using a native segwit (bech32) wallet.

OP's problem is not whether his addresses are segwit or legacy.
One of problems is that Armory doesn't generate native segwit addresses at all. But OP is talking about an address starting with bc1q.
The other problem (as rightly mentioned by you) is that he is probably entering an invalid private key.


The only problem is that the private key that starts with 5 doesn't support yet on Electrum
You can import private keys that start with 5 into electrum and there is no need to make any conversion.
Look at images below. I imported private keys exported from Armory wallet into electrum without any problem and generated same addresses.  






3636  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Is there a way to transfer BTC from an offline wallet (Armory) to a new... on: June 06, 2021, 08:23:46 PM
If the address starts with "bc1q", you need to apply this when importing:
The bc1q address OP is talking about can't be an Armory address. Armory doesn't generate bech32 addresses.

Armory generates legacy addresses (by default) and nested segwit addresses.
Armory also generates P2SH-P2PK addresses. As far as I know, Armory use a specific script type for generating these addresses and they can't be imported to electrum.
3637  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Is there a way to transfer BTC from an offline wallet (Armory) to a new... on: June 06, 2021, 07:09:12 PM
All I have for sure is the recipient adress, starts with bc1q (42 characters long)- all keys starts with 5. What am I missing?
What do you mean by recipient address? Do you mean the address you are going to send bitcoin to? If so, it can't help you.

When you deposited to Armory, you used an address for receiving bitcoin. That's the address you need to find in Armory. As Armory generates legacy addresses by default, it probably starts with 1.
If you don't know what was the address you used when receiving bitcoin, copy and paste all private keys into electrum. One of them should be associated with your address.
Note that private keys start with 5, K or L.
3638  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Is there a way to transfer BTC from an offline wallet (Armory) to a new... on: June 06, 2021, 05:53:55 PM
I have only made one transfer to Armory (never again)
So, you only need to export the private key of the address you sent bitcoin to.

Check "Address String" when exporting private keys. (It's shown in the image below.)



Then try to find the address you sent bitcoin to. Copy its private key and paste it into electrum.
(The private key is below the address and in front of "PrivBase58".)
3639  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Is there a way to transfer BTC from an offline wallet (Armory) to a new... on: June 06, 2021, 04:16:17 PM
that there are no white spaces at the beginning or the end of each line.
Electrum allow you to click on "Next" button and generate the addresses even if there are extra spaces either at the beginning of the private key, or at the middle or at the end.
Look at the image below. It's possible to click on "Next" button even with these extra spaces.  

3640  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Is there a way to transfer BTC from an offline wallet (Armory) to a new... on: June 06, 2021, 03:34:14 PM
So, Ive inserted ALL the keys in Electrum but the "Next-button" isn't highlighted. Only back.
If you have entered a valid private key into electrum, it should be possible to click on "Next" without any problem.
Didn't you entered any extra character when entering your private key(s) into electrum by any chance?

Your private keys should be like as shown in the image below.
