Acutally it's very strange. I noticed 1 confirmation at the beginning. But then the 1 confirmation was gone. What happened? Things start to make sense: https://blockchain.info/block-index/1521268The transaction was included in a block, but it was orphaned  I don't think it'll hurt if you try to rebroadcast the transaction... Just to be sure (unless you're planning on waiting untill the unconfirmed transaction drops from the mempool of most nodes) |

Transaction fees depends on the time of the transaction you want. You can also pay a fees of 0.0001 btc to any desired fees you want. Paying higher fees will immediately give you the confirmation. Bitcoin will quickly appear on the desired wallet/bitcoin address sooner if you are paying high fees. But now-a-days many people are facing problem like paying high fees and still are not getting confirmation on huge transactions. I hope the issue will be solved sooner. But for now you can try paying high fees to get quicker confirmation on transactions.
I would not advise anybody to pay a fee of 0.0001 BTC. Using fixed fees is a thing of the past, and will result in either getting your transaction stuck or in grossly overpaying sooner or later. I would also like to notice there is no fee that will result in an instant confirmation... The fee is something you give to the miner as an incentive to add your transaction to the block he's currently solving. There is an average of 10 minutes between two blocks, so even if you'd add 1000 satoshi's per byte, you'd still have to wait an average of +5 minutes before you get into a block... Lastly i would like to add that it doesn't matter how much fees you add, the transaction gets broadcasted around the network in a matter of seconds. So indeed, after a few seconds, about any* transaction will show up as "unconfirmed" in most wallets... However, a sufficient fee will make sure it ends up in a block in a reasonable timeframe. * unless there is something wrong with your transaction, like double spending the unconfirmed input, unconfirmed parents, dust outputs,... |

currently the fee is around 2usd for priority, there is a ICO that I want to participate in, if I pay 10usd as fee I get first in line in mined block to guarantee participation?
is there any disadvantage with having 10usd fee, maybe the transaction get cancelled?
any difference playing 2usd fee, 10usd fee, 100usd fee?
the biggest fee gets first into the mined block?
Usually, yes, the more satoshi's per byte you add, the higher the chance a miner will pick your transaction above the other transactions in the mempool. However, it's completely up to the miner. If the very next block gets mined by a miner that choses only to include the coinbase transaction, your transaction won't be added... If the next block is mined by a miner that decided to fill the block he's working on with spam transactions, you're also straight out of luck. However, generally speaking, if you outbid the other transactions in the mempool, you have a really big chance of getting into the very next block. There is no "downside" for using "to high" fees... Exept the fact that you'll pay more fees (obviously)  That being said: there are two more things i wanted to tell you 1) there is no need to outbid 100% of the waiting transactions in the mempool... Study https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ for more info, but what i mean to say is: if you pay enough to be in the top 1Mb of waiting transactions, you'll probably get into the next block. 2) be carefull: fees are not calculated per transaction or per amount of BTC transferred, but they are calculated based on the transaction size. This size depends on the number of inputs and outputs... You can use my tool to guide you in picking a good fee: https://www.mocacinno.com/page/feeestimate or you can rely on the fee estimation of a DECENT wallet... |

ASIC Miners consume huge electricity,so to run this device you will spend a lot on electricity and cooling. If to calculate total expenditure is it profitable anyway?
Depends mostly (but not only) on your electricity rate... If you have an S9 and pay 2-3 cents/Kwu, you can easily break even. If you have an S1 and you pay 30 cents/Kwu you're losing money for every second you're mining... |

I realise most of these answers were already given in one way or another, but since i see you're making some mistakes here, i'd like to repeat them and chose my own wording: I'm new to this bitcoin stuff and that, I'm currently mining in the cloud, since I do not have equipment to mine, asics not much less gpu, I just have pentium 4, 1 gb of video and 2 of ram, practically one Basic pc, I want you to solve me several doubts:
1) You were correct, you cannot mine with a cpu. You might be able to mine some altcoins using your GPU, altough i would seriously doubt you would have invested in a decent GPU if i see the rest of your desktop's stats 2) stop right there, 99% of the cloud mining companies are scams, the rest sells you 100% of the risks for a very small cut in the profits. 1) Best wallet to store different types of coins (doge, dash, btc, litecoins, etc.) currently use yobit
Stop right there (again), stay away from online wallets and exchanges... Go for decent desktop wallets! They general rule is: if you're not the (only) one in controll of your private keys, you're not in controll of your funds... If the exchange/online wallet blocks you, gets hacked, runs away,... you're left with nothing. 2) If I mino another type of currency, an example: I start to mine dogecoins, can be sold directly or have to exchange for btc to then sell them
In my experience, you get the best deal if you look around at all different exchanges exchanging the coins you want to exchange (wow, 3 exchanges in one sentence). Take into account that different exchanges have different fee structures! 3) in the pages that I am currently mining I have the option for btc, dogecoin, dash, etherum, litecoins and even the same GH / S, my question is which is these coins is better to mine or is it preferable to mine a quantity of gh / s To be able to make more coins per hour / day / week / etc
If it's cloud mining, you'd be better off getting the hell out of their system. 4) 6) If I get 'X' amount of any currency, it is better to invest it on the same page or directly take it out to my wallet.
My advice: if you're talking about cloudmining: withdraw as much as you can, don't look back! certainly don't re-invest |

Hey allemaal,
Ik hen een vraagje ik was helemaal vergeten dat ik bitoins had.
Deze heb ik gisteren weer gevonden had en backup gemaakt en die staat in mijn mail.
maar de vraag hoe kan ik de wallet weer terug zetten. De backup is uit 2014 weet niet meer welke wallet.
ik heb bitecoin core als wallet heb ik nu gedownload. wat kan en moet ik nu doen?? help my
Wel, Als je een wallet.dat hebt is de kans reeel dat je in het verleden ook bitcoin core gebruikte. In dit geval kan je gewoon je huidige bitcoin core even stoppen, naar de data directory gaan, je huidige wallet even hernoemen (bijvoorbeeld wallet_nieuw.dat), een copy van de oude wallet.dat in de data directory pompen en je core wallet opnieuw opstarten. Deze zal dan de blocks opnieuw scannen, daarna zou je de unspent outputs moeten kunnen gebruiken om nieuwe transacties te maken. De data directory voor linux is ~/.bitcoin, voor windows vind je deze wel ergens in de wiki (ben te lui om er zelf achter te zoeken) Je kan in de toekomst beide wallets gebruiken (je huidige wallet, en de backup van je oude wallet) door bitcoin core te starten met de juiste opties (de wallet welke hij moet gebruiken is een optionele parameter, als je deze niet ingeeft gebruikt hij ~/.bitcoin/wallet.dat). Als deze procedure niet werkt is je wallet backup waarschijnlijk geen bitcoin core wallet.dat. In dit geval hebben we idd wat meer achtergrondinformatie nodig |

I need a loan of 0.00003 BTC, have nothing to give in a pledge. Maybe someone will do it At this very moment, the optimal fee is 360 sat/byte. for an average transaction this comes down to ~81.000 satoshi's ( https://bitcoinfees.21.co/). You ask for a loan of 3000 satoshi's...  The fee a lender would need to pay for a speedy confirmation would be 27 times the loaned amount... If somebody would "lend" you 3000 satoshi's, there would be no way you could ever spend that input (since the fee needed to spend those 3000 sat would be 81.000 sat) I strongly discourage users from using faucets (they're a waste of time), but in your case i'd make an exeption |

Which one do you prefer?
Personally, i prefer a hardware wallet... Both your choices are ok, but they have a different use case: - a paper wallet can be used to deposit BTC without withdrawing... It's cheap and easy to make, but once you sweep it, you have to make a brand new one. - cold storage (i assume you mean using an airgapped pc) is more expensive (since you need a dedicated offline pc), but it can be used to deposit and withdraw A hardware wallet almost offers the security of an airgapped PC, but is much cheaper... |

Hello,
The good news is that I still remember the clues about the secondary password of my wallet
I am willing to provide all the information about the wallet for you, but I am afraid when you successfully decode you will get my bitcoin.
Currently I have 1 more case containing 7 BTCs, and it also has forgotten secondary password. It's heartbreaking to log in to Wallet successfully, seeing that the bitcoin is still intact and unusable.
At this time I need more help than ever ...
I am willing to give you $ 500 for you to help me install, but the btcrecover install phase is too difficult for a technically poor person like me, is there a way to do it the simplest way!
I don't think there is an easyer way than using btcrecover. I completely understand not willing to send an encrypted wallet to me (i wouldn't send any wallet to anybody ever). Maybe you can PM : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=130960 ? He has a history of cracking wallets, and has more trust than i do... |

How long does it take to decipher the wallet? Why do not you get all the wallet information from me and decode it?
I already answered this question The first question (How long does it take to decipher the wallet?) answer: basically it's impossible to tell... It depends on how much input you can give about the possible passwords... If you chose a random 12 letter password and the only thing you can tell me is it contained the letter 'E', i won't even start bruteforcing it... I'd just tell you to concider the 2 BTC as lost. On the other hand, if you chose a 5-7 letter password and you're certain it contained the name of your dog, the first letter of your girlfriends last name and did not contain any special character, it'll probably be cracked in a very short time... The second question (Why do not you get all the wallet information from me and decode it?) If i can crack the file on my own machine and take $500 if i succeed, then send the remaining funds to an address of your choice, the risk becomes (much) smaller, but i don't know if i'm trusted enough to send a wallet file to... My advise in this case would be to search a really, really, really trusted person to give you encrypted wallet + password info to.
I'd still be willing to do this, but you do have to understand that you're sending a wallet + password hints to somebody that has no green trust, and has no record of handling other people's money |

How many ways to step with each steps, each steps is 100 $, I will be back to the BTC of your steps per 1, If you have to plan 5 steps to be btcrecover. Please help me, I need real help and not deceive anyone. The effort you put into it will be worth it  It's not the reward that's the problem, nor the amount of steps... It's the fact the reward is "not in hand" (or: not in the hand of a person i more or less trust). It doesn't matter how you put it, i won't invest hours of work writing a guide that can be followed by someone without any experience without knowing the bounty is either in my wallet, or in the wallet from somebody i trust (aka, an escrow provider). Don't take this personal, i've just been burnt so many times already i no longer find a promise sufficient "collateral" These are the steps i would include in a guide, complete with screenshots and copy/pastable text: 1) prepare your OS, install the dependancies 2) make sure btcrecover runs (run tests) 3) make sure we have your (encrypted) wallet, potentially using a tool to create it starting from your ID 4) create the token file 5) run btcrecover |

We need an intermediary in this. All in my wallet is 2 BTC. I will give all the information to you or you guide me decode on my laptop. When I succeed and get 2 BTC, I will pay you 500 usd immediately.
Thank you !
Hi, Sorry, i can't dedicate several hours of work for the promise of getting $500 if you succeed. The risk is to much (you can either succeed but tell me you didn't, you can just run without paying me, you can give me insufficient information so you don't succeed, you can be impatient so you don't succeed,...). Don't take this the wrong way: there's a big chance you're an honest guy that indeed did lock his 2 BTC and has every intention of giving all the info, dedicate enough resources and time and pay me as soon as you succeed, however, i'm not willing to risk hours of my time on a promise... Sorry! If i can crack the file on my own machine and take $500 if i succeed, then send the remaining funds to an address of your choice, the risk becomes (much) smaller, but i don't know if i'm trusted enough to send a wallet file to... My advise in this case would be to search a really, really, really trusted person to give you encrypted wallet + password info to. good luck |

I will pay you $ 500- $ 1000 if I succeed. This is a commitment. I still remember the suggestion of the secondary password (blockchian.info)
Hi, I would like to give a couple remarks on this topic... Basically because if we handle this in PM/email, i might get accused of making a big profit at your expense, or i might end up with a scam accusation on my behalf because everything was not clear for both parties to begin with... By making everything public, i can (hopefully) avoid this: - to use btcrecover for a blockchain.info wallet, you either need the backup of your wallet file (wallet.aes.json) OR your wallet ID (and 2FA if enabled). If you don't have this backup and/or your wallet ID (+2FA), it seems to be impossible to use this tool
- I can't let the payment depend on wether or not you succeed. If you give me all the input (exact OS version; wether or not you have the wallet.aes.json; everything you know about your password), i will write you a custom guide with screenshots, easy enough for an inexperienced member to follow and execute. Wether or not you succeed in cracking your password depends on how powerfull your pc is, how long you keep the cracker running and how much info you gave me about your password... I can influence none of these factors, so i'd only take this job if i get payed for writing the guide, not for a successfull attempt.
- Don't take this the wrong way, but i've been promised payment by new members numerous times... I've also got burned numerous times (can't count the number of new members that offered a bounty, but dissapeared after i helped them out). I can't get behind my pc for many hours writing a complete custom guide with screenshots because somebody made a written commitment using an anonymous account on a public forum. If you want this deal, i can only agree if we use an escrow:
- We pick a green trusted, long time member we both like, and you send him/her the complete payment
- You tell us both all the info, but you don't send us the wallet backup nor the ID
- I write the full guide and send it to both you and the escrow
- If the escrow agrees that the guide is complete and newbie-friendly, he releases your funds to me... If he doesn't agree that the guide is newbie-friendly: he sends the payment back to you
- Now it's up to you: if you dedicate enough hardware for a long enough time, and gave sufficient info about the password, you'll be able to recover your wallet... If you fail to dedicate sufficient hardware, if you are impatient, or if you didn't give enough info about the password: you fail... This does not influence my payment
- If i forgot or missed things in my guide, you're always free to contact me, no extra charge if it's about things that i really forgot... I can't be helt responsible (or be forced to help you for free) if your PC is infected, isn't installed properly, has funky configurations, has conflicting pre-installed software
- I can also write this guide using a plain vanilla VPS server: in this case you'll need to provide a VPS of your choice with the OS of my choice... I'll write the complete guide and set everything up at the same time, so you'll be able to jump right in, change the root password, upload your wallet and start cracking right away (while you still have to guide to set everything up the next time). To be honest: this would be the cheaper option since i'm a unix guy
 . BTW: if we use this option, there is no risk that you won't be able to get everything running, no risk that your pc is infected, no risk of improper installation/configuration and no risk of conflicting binaries

I've ran btcrecover in the past on a linux box, found that it was not that hard to setup.. However, you should realise that the recovery rate depends greatly on the token file you generate. The more you know about your password, the greater the chance of success.
If you want a step-by-step tutorial written for a non-technical user, i can probably do this (altough there is no guarantee i'll get a recent version of btcrecover running on a windows 10 machine).
However, i've been helping tons of newbies with small tasks lately, and the percentage of people that actually payed me the offered bounty is relatively low... For a bigger tasks like this, i would require the use of an escrow for the bounty ($1000 is a bit over the top, i'll probably make you a deal for a lot less)...
I'm leaving the office in about 10 minutes, but if nobody else can help you with this task, you can PM me and we'll set something up tomorrow morning!

I tried to spend my blockchain.info coins, sat a high fee but the transactions were not confirmed.
Then, I tried to move my private keys to electrum, but for some reason electrum wallet says: "No input found!". How can I move my blockchain.info funds?
Two questions: 1) did you export the private keys, or did you export an xprv? I have not used blockchain.info in ages, so i have no idear how you'd export your private keys 2) have you tried switching electrum hosts and tried a restart? the reasons i ask these questions: 1) if you exported an xprv, the derivation path has to be correct... Otherwise you won't be able to derive the correct private keys, so the addresses created by the public keys created by the private keys derived with the wrong path would have no inputs 2) maybe you're connected to a lagging server (to switch: click on the green button on the right bottom corner and pick a different server) |

Hey guys, what's the difference between Pool and Cloud mining ? I hear many ppl saying like "Cloud mining is not worth it" etc, but they still are using pools which is exactly the same as cloud ( many people mines together and shares based on their performance ).
There's a huge difference between the two: - pool mining => lots of seperate individuals who try to solve blocks together using their own hardware. Low-diff shares are used to measure how much work each individual performed. This statistic is used to divide the block reward when the pool solves a block - cloud mining => you pay a (usually anonymous) organisation a ton of BTC, in return they promise to use ASIC's they own for mining BTC, and promise to give you part of the mining income they receive when running their own miners... Mining on a legit pool is a smart thing to do, unless you have thousands and thousands of latest gen ASIC's... Cloud mining is usually not worth it (in my opinion), and since cloud mining requires you to pay for hashrate in advance, at least 99% of the cloud mining companies are actually non-mining ponzi's. Even legit cloud mining companies give you 100% of the risks for a small percentage of the profits... |
