It happens that I had stored the password for the account but as username not the username but the email, for the username had a different password which wasn't correct.
Enjoy your time in the community. 5 years is a long time and bitcoin price now is over $28k.

Make sure you have a signed bitcoin address or PGP signed with your public key so in the future you do not risk your account to be taken over by the hackers. If they do then you can always claim back your account by proving the ownership from the signed bitcoin address or PGP key.

Use a bitcoin address that has no connection and will never receive any fund even accidentally if this address receive any fund then use those fund through a mixer. Your privacy is safe.

I guess there are nothing to be worried since you can see the tokens in your account. Regarding the reason of sending some Tron - maybe some Tron experts can explain it better.

1. Yes they have, but I was sleeping during this time and did not see it until after the match was over. Even if I had seen it, their reasoning is complete BS and doesn't make any sense, because De Jong's winning odds were never at 1.70 up until that point.
It does not matter if you have seen the email or not, the fact is that they sent you the email before the match started.

Now, one question could be - did they sent you the email before the partial amount you cashed out or after the partial amount cashed out? Here I do not know what will be the valid case if they email you after the partial cash out. Will the email be the notification of cancelling the remaining stake or the entire stake since the cashed out money should be yours already.

@EpicChamp, Look I have a bad reputation (to some users LOL) of going against sport books, as long as I see a claim is genuine in my judgement then I do not care if they are in business from a decade with a billion dollar's reputation, or they just started yesterday. I treat the same and believe in evidences.

In your case no evidences required yet since you already said that you partially cashed out 0.1394 or 0.1396 BTC and your bet amount was 0.14 BTC (in the first line of your opening post). If the cashed out amount is 0.1394 BTC (for example) then they owe you 0.0006 BTC.
About a month ago on November 23, I bet 0.14 BTC on the De Jong - Altmirano tennis challenger match


Quote
2. The night before I partially cashed out 0.1394 or 0.1396 BTC (which is still technically below my 0.14 deposit + bet) and then withdrew it from their site.
Now you are confusing me/us - after the bet (stake 0.14 BTC) did you still have 0.14 left in your account?

Anyway, overall this is what I am understanding.
Technically FJ still owe you 0.0006 BTC (if the cashed out amount was 0.1394 BTC, if your stake was 0.14BTC and if they sent you email before the match and partial cashed out). I can not blame them because they sent the email before the match starts and partial cashed out (assuming), once they give you the remaining 0.0006 BTC of the stake.

I also said in my last post that this does not look black and white and not wrong too. So if you are not happy with the outcome and I understand your frustration - I would suggest taking this to the court as we have seen there was a case that was won in the court.

PS: Did anyone PM FortuneJack to have an input in this thread? I think we can hear a story from their side too.

1. The email was sent many hours after I had already partially cashed out 0.1394 btc from the day before. I would estimate that it was sent around 11-12 hours later and 2-3 hours before the start of the match.

And while from that standpoint or point of view you can say they owe me "0.0006 BTC", but what is that even gonna do? That's only gonna cover the fee to transfer my BTC and that's it. The REAL loss here is 100-300x that amount.

2. After I did the partial cashout for 0.1394 btc, I withdrew it from their site to my wallet and had nothing else left except the open bet with a stake of 0.067 BTC at 2.6 odds to win 0.174 BTC. I did this because I did not want to keep such a large amount on any gambling site as it is never 100% secure.

Here are the 3 variations of my ACTUAL losses that I had from this bet cancelation:

1. ACTUAL loss = 0.067 BTC (this was the remaining amount I had left on this bet at 2.6 odds which was about 50% of the partial cashout)
2. OPPORTUNITY COST loss = ~0.1 BTC (I could have cashed out everything the night before for 0.238 BTC and profited nearly 0.1 btc on top of my initial 0.14 btc bet). This to me is the real loss I suffered from this scenario in the case of a bet cancelation.
3. EXPECTED / WINNING loss = 0.174 BTC because in 99.9% of scenarios where this match would and should have been played out as usual despite the change of odds that happen ALL THE TIME, I would have earned 0.174 btc fair & square. Every other gambling site let the match play out as usual, so why can't FortuneJack do the same?

So no, they don't just owe me 0.0006 BTC, they owe me 100-300x that amount because of their unjustifiable reasoning and way of running their site. 

And no, no one from FortuneJack has reached out to me about this yet. I hope this can get their attention and they can fix this as soon as possible because I have been waiting over a month now and they don't seem to care at all and lately have been completely ignoring my emails.
Quoting the entire response for reference. I will PM FortuneJack to have an statement in here so that we know their story in public before I say anything else.

If you are seeing the correct amount in the correct address on block explorer then stay clam, your fund are there. Maybe some wrong setting in your ledger live, so you are not seeing the balance. Everything is fine and your funds are there.

I never had TRC-20 token, so I can not tell you exactly what to do but from the basic I will try.

Have you checked everything that is here in this link: https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013062159-Manage-TRC10-and-TRC20-tokens

This seems very straight forward. Please ensure that you have followed everything from the above link.

3690  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Missing funds on Electrum, unauthorised transaction on: December 28, 2020, 02:57:59 PM
The only thing that is certain is that something happened between November 28 when you installed Electrum and December 2 when an unauthorized transaction occurred. If we assume that you have downloaded a legitimate Electrum file (and nc50lc confirms this), then your seed has somehow leaked.

So I installed this 1st on the 28th of Nov https:raw.githubusercontent.com/specnimo/specnilon/main/electrum-4.0.5-setup.exe
This is the correct Github repository of Electrum: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum
I guess nc50lc confirms that the quote is the wrong link and his link is the correct Github repository of Electrum.

We all know that trying to get the fund back is impossible and right now OP only needs to accept the loss and learn the lesson for future.

then updated using this DL address is   electrum.org/4.0.9/electrum-4.0.9.exe later in December.
Thanks

Code:
https:raw.githubusercontent.com/specnimo/specnilon/main/electrum-4.0.5-setup.exe

No idea how did you find this url and no idea if this is a legitimate exe but from your experience it's probably fair to say that this is a fake copy of the exe file.

It was suppose to be very simple.

Search "Electrum"

Take https://electrum.org
Download the exe from there which is their official site.

Besides not limit yourself only with downloading the file from the official site but also verify the signature they provide.

A nice tutorial for you for the next time : https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/
Please be careful when you are handling virtual currency.

Would it help to post the transaction ID?
I do not think it will help much to you since you can not get the money back. Bitcoin are irreversible. But maybe you can aware the community and give the receiving address. Also you can track the address (maybe require some tools) and if you see this ended up in any KYC exchange then file a report to freeze that account and maybe with their help you can find the hacker. All these are very complicated with zero chance I guess.
3693  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think is a fair transaction fee for the Bitcoin transaction? on: December 28, 2020, 12:43:38 PM
When I trade peaches for pizza, there is no fee.
When I trade milk for eggs, there is no fee.
When I give fiat cash as a gift to another person, there is no fee.
When I move btc, there is a tax.
You are considering person to person physical transactions.

Consider this with paypal or worldpay type online merchants you will have your answers. Also consider this with sending money overseas, you will have your answers, consider this from a merchants side - consider how much you pay to the payment service providers, how much you worry of getting your payment reversed?

Question could be how much we should pay on each transaction we make regardless of the volume in the transaction. I think the current setup is absolutely fine with this too. It's the users who are not aware of how much they should be considering to pay by looking at the mempool congestion.

Yesterday I had two transactions. One with 2 sat/B and another with 5 sat/B. All those got confirmed in the next few hours. However the calculated fees from wallet software I use was over 120+ sat/B. But at that time even for the next block if I could spend 10 sat/B, I would have it.

Our ignorance can not be the cause of blaming a system. Learn the use of in the first place.
3694  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Missing funds on Electrum, unauthorised transaction on: December 28, 2020, 12:35:00 PM
This sounds to me as this:
You have downloaded fake Elecrtum. Once you entered your seed, the hacker got the information and there was a script that transferred everything the given address by the hacker. You had no clue in between.

Sorry this happened to you. How much you have lost?

Also take a lesson from this that never install a software without verifying the signature.

Getting whitelisted from theymos, If I'm not mistaken Iasenko was whitelisted like that while he was a full member, but for him the delay was longer, 4 seconds might not be much you can deal with it, 60 would be annoying with the amount of spam we're getting in some topics..

If I am not wrong the global moderators can whitelist an account too. So try with them too if you do not get response from theymos @PrimeNumber7

Can understand your pain. It's always difficult to bet on matches where the teams competing are at equal level. It all comes down to luck basically no matter how much research you are willing to do.

I advise you not to bet on the remaining tests in this series since the situation is quite unpredictable right now. You might end up losing even more money. Just my 2 cents.
I am not going to take any risk any more in this series. True the competition is high here but interestingly whenever I picked a side the opposite came out winning and with cricket it happens to me all the time! :-D

The only sport I understand the most is Cricket but this is the sport where I lost most of the money. I do not watch football much, Table tennis, Badminton, NFL, NBA but my lucks on those sports are better in fact when I make any profit on gambling I get most of my wins from other sports LOL

How would you explain this?

By the way, for the record in the pools we have often, I do not do bad at all.
3698  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: FortuneJack Refuses to Pay My Winning $4700 Tennis Bet or Return BTC Stake on: December 28, 2020, 11:17:32 AM
Casinos pointing to their terms and conditions as an excuse to not have to pay somebody out is the norm...
And I don't like this practice of they can do whatever they want.

It's like I need money, I create a casino with these terms and conditions. I selectively target users and seize deposit/winnings and when they will ask for a reason - I make up some reasons or even do not give any reason because there are no reason at all. Because I have the terms and conditions, I can have anyone's money anytime. No, I can not.

If any case comes in the community we need to evaluate the cases depending on their merits. There are fake cases as well.

@EpicChamp, if I was you then I would be furious for a while. It's normal that you feel cheated. But here maybe there are some mistakes from the providers they use, hence they revised the odd and informed their clients (you and other who placed the bet in the same market) before the match kicked off. I would consider it wrong if they would give the reason after you had the match settled. Still this is not black and white but not wrong too.

Have you got your stake back in full? I think few sats left if I calculated it correct. Here the case could be for those few sats that lefts. If you get the stake back in full then let's move on like nutildah said already.

We all have our bitter experiences, and we need to learn living with them. Sorry you had this bad experience.

How is everyone!
I am not watching cricket these days especially these Test matches but day before yesterday I thought to bet some money on the matches. I got:

Australia to win
South Africa to win
New Zealand to win

The confidence level in the Australia to win was super high and when yesterday I checked the score I was like wtf! Now just checked the score and I feel Australia is going to lose the match.

The India tour of Australia is a nightmare for me.

In the ODI series after winning the first two match I thought Australia was going to win the last match too. I had a decent amount for them in the last match. Lost all LOL

In the T20 series, in the first match I had Australia again - thought they will win but Australia lost. I did not bet in the 2nd match. After two consecutive wins in the last match I thought India will win again. I put money on them this time and lost LOL.

I did not bet in the first Test match. If I would then I would go for Australia. However, seeing the performance in the first Test I thought okay let's bet this time in the 2nd Test and you can see where I am.

The experts here - what do you think of me and my relationship in India tour of Australia LOL
3700  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who are buying all these bitcoin on: December 27, 2020, 01:12:10 PM
If you have made a decent profit on your trades, there no point in regretting that you could have gotten more, because it's impossible to make perfect trades.  If you're selling at a profit, you're gaining real value and losing some imaginary value.
Just to make it clear, my regret is not the price point I sold.

I am concern about who are buying the coins, where will all these coins will go eventually. The coins I sold has already planned for some purpose, one is re-buy if the price drop significantly or invest in real estate.

Isn't that essentially what most ICOs and premined alts have already been doing for a couple of years now?
Yes they do. Thanks for bringing it.

In 2017 when we had this ICO era, there are a lot of people lost their coins just with this hope that they will be able to accumulate some more bitcoins. In reality they just lost their coins and those ICO owners were walking away with the coins.
