Basically sending out transactions is the one that costs money, but it's not something you pay to Electrum, you pay it to the network/miners.
And yes, 2FA.


Yes, 2FA costs money, it's a 3rd party service (Trusted Coin). The extra money is sent together with the transactions and you'll pay either for 20 tx, either for 100 tx, upfront, in the first tx from the new (let's say) batch.

I will add that imho the added security doesn't worth the cost and if you do have bigger/big funds you want to protect you may want to acquire a hardware wallet or, if you have the background/knowledge, set up a cold storage (and make sure it never goes online).

In any circumstances, anything or anybody claiming that you have (or received) money (or bitcoin), but asks you deposit more in order to access/withdraw that money is a scam.
If there would be any money there, they could use part of that for processing the withdrawal.


A screenshot can be manipulated/faked. An unconfirmed transaction may be able to get reverted.
Even more, Coinbase (and any exchange) uses parts of the money to process the withdrawal.
Don't be so naive.

For that purpose, best is to use Electrum on testnet, maybe multiple wallets too, get free funds from testent faucets and learn for free how the things work.
Then there's no risk at all. And if you're nice enough, after the tests you'll send back to the faucet the remaining testnet bitcoins.

Exactly. Especially if the device is not powered/started, it should be safe.
Even more, if the recovery phrase is safe, whether the device is hypothetically affected/wiped is no matter, the recovery phrase will help get the funds bac because the money is "on the blockchain", not "in the wallet".

Imho your title is misleading because you wrote clients instead of employees Edit: At a second thought I was wrong with this line.

And yes, it happens that the campaign manager prefers certain people or certain type of people.

It may depend on:
* where they post
* posting style
* whether the campaign manager has already worked with certain people

And also yes, actual customers may be prioritized, since they can advertise the business better and from their actual experience, although in this case the campaign manager may have to be part of the staff of that business.
But usually it goes the other way: they pick good people from the forum, pay into the business/website account (especially in case of gambling) and they'll get people that will advertise better the business and may also lose some money there in the process...

OP, beware, the previous post contains link to one known scam casino/sportsbook that tends to not pay out the winnings and the account posting the link is paid to advertise that site.
Be careful and double (triple, ..) check every suggestion you receive here. Stay safe.

Imho it should not matter whether you transfer or not those coins out, it should matter on when you bought and, much more important when/if you sell, since usually selling for fiat is the taxable event.
But, as a matter of fact we don't know for sure and the best advice imho would be to discuss with a tax related company/representative something, to be sure.

And while I find a very good move to (finally) get your coins to your hardware wallet (I hope that you've reset it after buying, I hope that you've checked the recovery phrase gets you the expected addresses), I think that your question is not really about technical support. Imho Bitcoin Discussion is more appropriate for this. (see bottom-left link for moving the topic)

I would refrain from using the wording anywhere in US, since from what I know it's legal only in 18 states and you may get into trouble because of the rest.
Of course, it's up to you; I just don't like/want to see, yet again, the "bitcoin is for illegal stuff" label.

It's not the only new board that's needed imho.
Now and then Bitcoin -> Mining -> Hardware gets discussion about GPUs and I feel it would be unfair to report for being off topic, since Mining (Altcoins) doesn't seem to have a hardware related (child) board.
Nothing big though, just saying...

It's a good point and good moment indeed, since, more than mempool being almost empty, week-end is also coming, increasing greatly the chances 1sat/vbyte transactions will be probably processed (way) before Monday.

I'm not siding with the banks. But you replaced their misleading with yours. This gets us nowhere.
The "bitcoin uses too much electricity" part is a lie. But in order to get use of bitcoin we do need some electricity, some internet and, truth be said, mining is also necessary.
Generating addresses and waiting for manna fill them from the skies is unrealistic.

How you've managed to gather all these buzz words and say basically nothing useful and full of mistakes?

* No Electricity -> surprise, the power generated from sun and which you'll use *is* electricity; you do use electric devices.
* No Humans -> and who built those devices? who has created and installed all that software?

Do you realize that your proposed wonderful wallet generator only creates big random numbers? And since it's not connected to internet not humans around nobody will know which numbers were generated and what addresses are related to those?

Do you realize that people need new address(es) with a purpose (to receive funds or as change addresses), not just generated out of the blue for the sake of it?

Since you don't have Kleopatra there, I tend to believe you didn't verify Electrum. It's usually a good idea to verify it before install/run.
Another thing: if it's a big amount of coins, I would not keep the wallet (the one with seed/keys) on a computer that goes online. Better overly safe than sorry. Learn about cold storage, really. The cold storage stays always offline, and you need a companion watch only online wallet (on a different system). This page could help.


I have Ledger Nano S. It's easy to use, but it's closed source and the company's shop had problems leaking people's addresses. They look now unprofessional to me and I wish I didn't buy this one.
Bitlox I don't know, sorry (and since it advertises Bluetooth I'm also not interested).

Right now I have my eyes on something more flexible: SeedSigner. But it's a DYI wallet and although you can buy all the parts together from certain shops, I think that it's still you who has to assemble it. Another one that sounds good to me is Coldcard.

Great results, open source, active dev and open to people's suggestions.. what else would we want?
Well done and keep it up!

And yes, obviously, I like the new additions

You should start looking what you're doing (i.e. attempt to learn) instead of making transactions after transactions with no idea at all what you're doing.

This time you were lucky, the mempool got cleared and all the transactions were processed, no matter how small were the fees. But in a worse situation you may have paid even more since you've made the actual situation worse, instead of improving it (the only funds you should have spend with higher fee you've spent with even lower fee).


Make better use of the forum. Get a wallet work on testnet, get some testnet coins for free from faucets, ask on the forum everything you don't understand and learn/understand what you're doing.

Nice formula!  I knew the basics, and at a first look it does look correct.
Still, I am not convinced that everybody knows where to look for those "numbers" (and I'm not talking about you or me).
And I was saying that I don't know of a tool doing this, which will also have to calculate (like coinbin's one) the size of the new tx to be made.

You seem either confused, either implying some odd propaganda.
They have to defend/keep their country first, isn't it? Rebuilding the country makes sense only after the war is over.

At this fee right now I don't think that any free tx acceleration can be done.
If any of the recipient addresses is yours, I'd try to CPFP (child pays for parent), meaning to spend (to yourself) that unconfirmed input at a very high fee.
Unfortunately I don't know of a tool that calculates it well how much you should pay for that new tx.

If such an API would be provided, imho the best use would be in another graphical tool/app, like for example an Android app, although there can be trust issues there, I know.
Using bitcointalk in text mode.. I'm not sure how many are "hardcore" enough to do that. I'm not.
As @ETFbitcoin correctly stated: bitcointalk is more complicated than twitter (multiple images, complicated and nested use of quotation...)

Ideas, in no particular order:

1. Use cold storage even for moving those coins away. Tails is easiest, but not the only option. Learn how to use cold storage.

2. If your private key/seed was already in a hot wallet (online), you should consider making yourself a new wallet directly offline. Cold storage is one option, hardware wallet is another. Before you move coins to your new wallet make sure you can restore from seed and you get to the same addresses.

3. Make sure you keep your wallet seed words safely offline, in multiple geographically different locations (and it's advised to write them carefully yourself and avoid clipboard, printer, ..)
