Did you check transaction fees? Your transaction fee can be set high, which can be the cause of your loss. Go to the Tools/Preferences and check your transaction fee per kigabyte. I hope it is not the case.
nothing.. and this was sent via a usb drive on a different laptop. another culprit maybe is that when everything failed me in terms of restoring my corrupted wallet on armory a friend referred me to another friend who does legit IT work for different business near me.. he did use a thumb drive full of recovery tools to recover my corrupted armory wallet but he had no access to my electrum wallet which the rootkey/private keys on only on the tails usb drive.. he said he would run the recovery tools on RAM while I go to work to see if he can spot the wallet and either still this was 20 minute (even more AFTER I sent the transaction to the dnm wallet). furthermore it was exactly x10 in scale it was around a .05 transaction while i had .69 in my wallet I'm sorry, but you've completely lost me here... I respect your right for privacy, and not wanting to share exact amounts nor transaction id's. As a matter of fact, since you're using dnm's, I think you're doing the right thing, i wouldn't share any address, amount or txid either. But since i'm lacking so much info, i don't think i'll be able to help you figure out what went wrong. At the moment, you have told us => about following wallets: paxum, electrum, a darknet wallet and armory (no versions) about following OS's: tails and your local mistery os about following hardware problems: a corrupted armory wallet about following transactions: from paxum to ?, from electrum to ? If you want help, i'd suggest making a chronological list of everything that happened. Replace the real addresses with [Address_1], [Address_depositDNM], [Address_paxum],... and round amounts down to 3 or 4 numbers after the comma. Don't add dates, but make sure the chronology is correct, and at least give an approximate version or brand (for example electrum 2.8.x, windows X,...). |

Thank you for this.
In general: Am I right that the nature of sending bitcoins is something like a stub of a balance. Either my sent bitcoins arrive at the new adress within 2-3 hours or the never will arrive at this adress.
You're actually asking questions about the technical part of bitcoin. <simplified technical explanation>Bitcoin is a decentral ledger containing all confirmed transactions ever made. Each transaction is basically a bunch of scripts. On one side of the transaction, you have the signed scripts used as an input of the transaction. The input scripts are signed with the private key belonging to the public key, belonging to the address that was used to send BTC to (to keep it simple.. In reality i'm skipping a couple of things). On the other side of the transaction, you have scripts stipulating who can spend the output of the transaction. You basically say: the person who can provide a valid signature that can be verified using the public key from witch address [address] was derived can use this output as an input to create a new transaction. After you generate this transaction, you broadcast it to the network. If the transaction is valid (the signatures are ok, the inputs are not yet used in a different transaction,...) it is accepted in the mempool of the nodes you broadcasted the transaction to. These nodes will broadcast your transaction to the nodes they are connected to, and so on, untill the full network knows about your unconfirmed transaction. </simplified technical explanation>As long as your transaction remains in the mempool of a single mining node, it has a chance of being added to the block that particular miner is currently solving. If the miner finds a block below the target diff, and he's able to push the block to the network fast enough (so it becomes part of the main chain) your transaction is confirmed. There is no 2-hour limit. As long as your transaction is floating around in mempools, it has a chance of being confirmed... |

Halo guys, I have found the advice in this forum very useful in every problem I encountered with my Antminers. Now I'm looking to buy a bigger rig or cabinet, something along the lines of 50-150 Th of mining power. I was wondering if you are aware of any credible manufacturers that do make such machines, either custom made or specific product lines. I really appreciate your insinght!  15 Ph/s, they use this chip: http://bitfury.com/products#16nm-asic 0.1 J/Gh If 15 Ph/s is to much, i guess you're stuck with bitmain's S9 |

is it worth to think about mining here:
altcoins are also fine
in case of a power flatrate,
no costs here at all
several computer available,
but not made for this. just easy systems for working, bad gpu
but theoretically they coul mine all night and weekends
e.g. one of it is
Hewlett Packard Elite 8200 USDT CMI Intel 2100 Core i3 2x3100 MHz, Intel HD Graphics 2000 Shared Memory, 4096 MB DDR3, 250 GB
best from Berlin
I don't think there is anything you can do with these machines... Mining Bitcoin on such a laptop will result in less than a dollar a year in BTC, while putting serious stress on your device, shortening it's lifetime. Mining altcoins might be possible if you manage to find a profitable cpu-only altcoin. Mining with an onboard intel graphics card is allmost impossible. All in all, i don't think it'll ever be worth your time, even if you find a cpu minable coin. |

Thank you for the link. I will go into that book.
Thank you for your kind help.
No prob. BTW, i just realised i forgot to tell you about 2 sollutions for low fees that ARE implemented in electrum 1) if you are the receiver OR if you sent change to your change address, and the transaction becomes stuck => right click => child pays for parent (cpfp) (i don't have a stuck transaction right now, so i can't verify the exact wording). 2) if you send transactions, make sure they're always marked as replaceable... You can even go to your preferences and make sure every transaction you create is opt-in RBF (replaceable). If an opt-in RBF transaction gets stuck, electrum will provide a nice wizard to create a new transaction using the same inputs. In theory, this is double spending the inputs, but since your transaction was opt-in RBF, it's much cleaner, and the double spending transaction will (hopefully) have a much lower rejection rate compared to a "real" double spending transaction. |

I would recommend to always add at least 15 satoshi's per byte, since there are a couple of tricks you can use to accelerate a transaction if it has at least 10 satoshi's per byte.
Are this tricks implemented in Electrum? If yes how can I apply them? No, it's not implemented in electrum  https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/Read their service agreement and TA before panicking, they have a set of rules about when and how many transactions they accept! |

no other transactions, just this one and it was right after i sent the transaction from my tails usb to the dnm
so if you look at your history, you have one "incoming" transaction and one "outgoing" transaction... The incoming is 10 times bigger than the outgoing, and still your wallet is empty. 2 things could have happened: 1) electrum always uses the full unspent output as an input. When you want to deposit less than the input, two outputs are created: one output to the deposit address, one output to a change address. It's possible you're connected to a lagging node, and you don't see this change yet. Try to change the node you're connected to and see if the change appears in your wallet 2) if you only have one incoming and one outgoing transaction, try to look them up on blockchain.info. Even change the denomination from BTC to USD, just to be sure, and make 100% sure the input is 10 times bigger than the output... I still think about the base unit... there is no way, i even asked the dnm wallet support team about it and they said the receiving address matches none of their generated addresses for my wallet. It also doesn't make sense that my armory wallets were deleted a day before as well as soon as i bought and withdrew from paxful.. could maybe someone on paxful have done it? Although I have a copy of the wallet on my computer/desktop I used the usb on my laptop to boot up tails wallet.. sounds like someone got my IP address?
Well, to tell you the truth, the fact that the inputs and outputs from your electrum wallet don't match is a different problem than the fact that the dnm didn't recognize the deposit addresses. Inputs and outputs have to match... The sum of the incoming transactions - (sum of outgoing transactions + fee) = balance... If there is a transaction to an address you don't recognize, it's a different problem... You are right, it might be a virus, altough tails is a really secure OS, so it looks strange to me. Did you install a full armory wallet on tails? Are you sure it was saved in the correct place, so it wasn't erased when you rebooted? Hundreds of people have my ip, that doesn't mean they can hack me... Very doubtfull somebody at paxful was able to hack you, unless he/she convinced you to install infected malware on your pc that caused all this? |

You really should calculate the fee you want to add manually by looking up how long you're prepared to wait (on average) by visiting a site like https://bitcoinfees.21.co/. At the moment it is 1-30 Satoshi/Byte for a 4-28 block delay. So when I have a transaction which is 226 bytes and I chose 1 Satoshi x 226 = 226 Satoshi, this is a price which will not run into any problem at the moment? Theoretically, yes, 1 sat/byte *should* be sufficient... However, if somebody decides to dump a couple thousand transactions with a higher fee into the network, you would be screwed... Also, there are nodes out there that reject transactions that don't have a minimum fee. I'm pretty sure a 226 satoshi fee transaction wouldn't propagate trough the full network. It's all odds and averages... If everything would remain status quo, you'd have a 95% chance of getting into the next 28 blocks (so ~360 minutes), but the longer you're willing to wait, the bigger the odds that the status-quo will be disturbed, and the average fee goes up before your transaction ends up in a block. I would recommend to always add at least 15 satoshi's per byte, since there are a couple of tricks you can use to accelerate a transaction if it has at least 10 satoshi's per byte. |

well i don't want to say anything that would be too implicit but it was into a trusted darkmarket wallet, but it was only for about 0.06, instead my entire electrum wallet gets deposited which held about .6... this is also using tails using a tor proxxy connection.
Also this happened after i coincidentally deposited a good about of btc from my paxful account into several software/offline wallets
Still confused about the problem, but i'm guessing here: You were depositing funds from your electrum wallet to a darknet wallet, and you're confused because you only deposited 0.06 instead of 0.6. My first guess would be that the base unit in electrum was set to something else instead of BTC... In this case your wallet wouldn't have contained 0.6 but 0.06.... you just tought your wallet contained 0.6 btc because the base unit wasn't correct. This is only my first guess tough. Can you see other transactions in your electrum history, does your electrum wallet still have any balance left? no balance, these are rough estimates. I deposited around .067 or something, my full funds with was around .69 and were deposited 20 min after my deposit into a darkweb wallet So, to sum it up - you had an electrum wallet, you're sure the sum of the unspent outputs (the wallet balance) was 0.69 BTC- you deposited 0.067 BTC to a webwallet - now, it looks like your electrum wallet is empty, while it should have +0.6 BTC left My idear still remains that you actually only had 0.069 BTC, but had a different base unit so it looked as if you had 0.69 BTC. But just in case: - did you try to restart electrum? - did you try to switch servers (green button in the right bottom corner)? - did you see any other "outgoing" transactions in your history tab? |

Thank you.
Can it be a good idea, just to chose the half fees which Electrum suggests in the 25 block mode?
Or can this already lead to insufficient network propagation, unconfirmed transactions getting dropped from the mempool,... ? (As you wrote)
Can Btc's be lost for ever, when I chose a fee that is too little? So is this a risk?
No, i don't think it's a good idear to just halve the fee suggested by electrum... You really should calculate the fee you want to add manually by looking up how long you're prepared to wait (on average) by visiting a site like https://bitcoinfees.21.co/. BTC's can't be lost forever. A transaction gets generated and broadcasted. When it's received by the nodes, they put the data into their mempool. This mempool is full of unconfirmed transactions using outputs that are available in their UTXO set (the database with unspent outputs that can be used to create a transaction). After ~3 days, most nodes kick the unconfirmed transactions from their mempool. So, in theory, you can re-use the unspent output to create a new transaction after 4 or 5 days. This way, your new transaction will use the same input as your previous transaction, so you're actually creating a double spent. This double spending transaction will be rejected by the nodes that still have the previous transaction in their mempool (since your new transaction uses the same input), but it will be accepted by the ones that already dropped the previous transaction. So, in the end, the double spending transaction will have less network propagation, but usually they propage sufficiently to reach the mempool of at least some mining nodes... |

We can adjust our fees, depending how fast the transfer should be done.
1. Question:
Am I right: If I chose 25 blocks (it's the minimum fee) it will take 25x10 minutes = 250 minutes until the bitcoins appear in the new adress?
Not ~really~... It's all about odds and averages. The network difficulty gets adjusted every 2016 blocks. The adjustment's purpose it to make sure the average time between two blocks is ~10minutes with the current network hashrate. Since it's 10 minutes on average, the real time might be from 0 to infinity minutes, but on average it should be around 250 minutes IF the estimation of the fee was correct. In reality it will most likely be less or more. 2. Question:
250 minutes is still very fast. I have no problem to wait one day or more and pay less fees.
But as far as I can see: 25 blocks are the minimum. What can I do, if I want to get the fee for 300 blocks? How can I send Btc for less fees than I have to pay for 25 blocks?
Thank you for an answer.
preferences => edit fees manually now generate a transaction, click on preview, look at the size. This is the size of the UNSIGNED transaction, so the signed transaction will probably be a bit larger. Go to https://bitcoinfees.21.co/, look up which fee you want to use, multiply with the estimated size of the signed transaction, and set this fee manually. I do not recommand using very low fees, it leads to insufficient network propagation, unconfirmed transactions getting dropped from the mempool,... |

Sorry, but i don't have a clue what you're asking here... You can't deposit into tor... Funds don't go into the .onion, accounts don't get deposited.... What you're showing here is a transaction id, namely f5a4a02add4af3f4fe8ed1b7275347b1fd3658c56237be6b43652cb90c71adfe The transaction has one input, namely output number 3 of transaction f5a4a02add4af3f4fe8ed1b7275347b1fd3658c56237be6b43652cb90c71adfe The input is 0.06 The transaction has two outputs, namely one that can be spent by 1BWo6D86YojPRiR38v2i4Dnn3epqZJttkz and one that can be spent by 1AtAEzLsSSuSjcjaSW5AzyH7hQaG6y1Dhf Do you want to say you had an online wallet on a darket wallet provider, and your online wallet was emptied using this transaction? |

The full run took 9mins and 44 seconds to generate 193 valid seeds and the 200 associated receive and change addresses/keys for each seed. 38600 in total then for my random 24 word seed that I deleted a word out of.
You could even copy/paste them all into Electrum, see what happens! Right, 130 times a day individually would only take me a year to try every combo Even this can be scripted... electrum can be run from the cli Since you're talking about between 1 and 13 BTC, i think this would be well worth your effort... You can either take the advice giving by the people on this forum and construct the sollution yourself, or you can offer a decent bounty for somebody to write you a script completely tailored to your unique problem... |

Didnt need jaxx wallet, so thats why i destroyed it.
I was using it has intermediary to make sure libertyX was sent out successfully before I kept buying more without leaving the gas station.
I cant access my ledger because its erased which has the coins
I only sent into ledger from Jaxx (which i can't recover either) I never sent out from the ledger to somewhere else,
I was using ledger as long term (dont touch for a long time wallet)
So Jaxx wallet & seed deleted from phone with no coins,, but has addresses to ledger
Ledger wallet has coins but is erased and need missing phrase from seed
thats where i am at.
Now i'm able to follow you  so, you have a ledger, a seedphrase with 1 word missing, no PIN code, no notion of addresses belonging to this ledger... How much BTC are we talking about? If it's 0.25 or up, it might be worth having somebody write a brute-force script for you... If it's less, i would advise you to hold on to the part of the seed you DO know, just in case BTC price rises even further... Who knows, if the price is $100k/BTC in 10 years, it might even be worth writing a brute force script for 0.01 BTC |

coins are in ledger
I used jaxx as a intermediary when i was buying from libertyx
so I discarded both Jaxx wallet and it's seed
which would have records of Ledger Addresses because I was sending to the ledger from Jaxx
bought from LibertyX send to Jaxx then to Ledger
Jaxx I dont have app or seed anymore, hence I cant dig up address history which would show me sending to Ledger
sorry for confusion.
Your ledger should still have a history of the transactions used to fund the ledger's addresses. If you have these transaction id's you can look them up, and see where the inputs came from... However, since the jaxx wallet is empty, you could just create a new one, it's not worth spending any time to brute force an empty wallet |

So basically my "almost" Legendary account that I have been using for over 4 years (!) is lost. This sucks balls I'm not sure if I ever used a bitcoin address here. Damn.  I was looking for your post history, so i could dig up some previously used address, but it looks like your hacker already deleted 99% of your posts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=358058;sa=showPostsYour post history only contains 6 posts, but since your activity is 658, he must have deleted at least 652 posts. Did you trade with anybody reputable on this forum? A BTC address used in a PM could *potentially* be used as proof??? A signature from an altcoin address isn't sufficient proof for the admin, altough it might be sufficient proof for a DT member to red tag the hacked account. |

I sent the coins purchased, to Jaxx, then to Jaxx to Ledger, Jaxx to exchange, and exchange to jaxx, jaxx to ledger, I was only using Jaxx temporary- Coins in and Coins out , I copied the seed for the Jaxx down while using it, but discard after I was finished transferring, and deleted the app totally, as I didn't intend to keep that wallet on my phone & figure if i need to use Jaxx again, I would just create a new Jaxx wallet altogether.
I was hoping maybe if I had most words, Script may narrow it down like a few hundred possibilities. (due to knowing the rest of the words and the last word) in which i Can manually try to restore the wallet to a Desktop wallet or something, as doing it on the Ledger would take forever.
If it is near impossible, its okay. My responsibility, not sure effort is worth a small percentage of success, as it starting to sound like all kinds of complicated.
It's getting a bit confusing... Are there still coins in your Jaxx wallet, or are they all on an exchange or on your ledger wallet? Also, most exchanges will show deposit/withdraw history, as will your ledger wallet, so it shouldn't be to hard to dig up addresses belonging to that jaxx wallet. As soon as you have a couple of addresses belonging to the wallet (and the seed phrase missing 1 word), it should be fairly easy to brute force the seed phrase (like HCP already said: it's only ~44k combinations) |

like dillpicklechips already said: sign a message with an old, staked address, PM it to Theymos and hope for the best.
Secondly: post the signed message in this thread and change your thread title to something like "account hacked, proof of ownership inside, request DT to tag account"
This way, some DT members might check out your proof and give you hacked account a red tag. When they do this, it'll prevent the hacker misusing your account. Once you get your account back, PM the DT members that tagged your account with proof you're back in controll, and they'll (hopefully) remove their tags...

I have created this user to be able to post this question here. Somehow I can't login to the forum with my own profile. It keeps saying that my password is wrong. I did not change it. Been a member since 2014 so I sure know my password. Requesting a new password does not work. I keep getting the "Wait 45 seconds..." message. Mail for resetting password is never sent. Clearing cache and cookies, using different IP adressess, nothing works. This is my profile. Could you guys at least tell me why I can't login and maybe even send the re-activation link for a new password to the registered e-mail. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=358058Look at this page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=358058Seems like the email address was changed recently... If you didn't do this, i suspect the account to be hacked. https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.phpPassword to this account seems to be changed 5 days ago... you should read this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0 |
