Why not contact with miners and thus you can get virgin or at least clean coins without any history that might link them to criminal activities.
-snip-
As per the OP and post #9, BitwiseOperator's not even willing to pay for a "mixing service",
why do you think he will even pay for "virgin coins" which is priced about 20% more than it's worth?
3902  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum and Ian Coleman's BiP39 on: June 24, 2020, 09:43:59 AM
Any particular reason why you'd want to restore your addresses despite having Electrum?
That's for members to be able to answer straight to the point.

BTW, you can follow this post from the third link above: /index.php?topic=5253904 Post#19
But that requires you to restore the wallet to Electrum if you didn't have a backup of the master private key.
3903  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Sending USDT to BTC address on: June 24, 2020, 06:46:26 AM
Which exchange? You should search if they have a "Coin/Token Recovery Service".

If they have, check the minimum recoverable amount and the fee, then contact their support.
If none, you're out of luck.
3904  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Can someone help confirm this? on: June 24, 2020, 03:43:24 AM
-snip-  It does not particularly care. if you do 1 sat or 100 sat it does want. the fee to be.

 0.0001 or higher.  so if you have a send that has tons of bytes. and you add to over 0.0001 it works.

If the transaction has 250 bytes it won't work since you paid 0.0000250
-snip-
in fact you could pay 2 sats. and it would be 0.00025000 btc and be over the fee level for viabtc to work.
-snip-
Sorry for the -snip-~s but I'm sure Viabtc's free accelerator is accepting transactions based from the "Fee Rate" not the total paid fee.
In fact, it's written in their page:

Quote from: ViaBTC.com
1. Free Acceleration: No need to sign in, you can submit any TXID of delayed transactions that at least include a fee of 0.0001BTC/KB
0.0001BTC/KB or 10sat/B

Most likely, the problem with rejected 250Byte transaction with 10sat/B is because they have Witness data (SegWit transactions).
That's because ViaBTC is using the Bytes instead of vBytes for computing the feerate and SegWit transaction have lower 'vBytes' than the size (in Bytes) of the transaction.
While wallets supporting SegWit will display vBytes as the size of the transaction like Electrum (it's displayed as 'Bytes' but it's 'vBytes' actually).

But bitmover is still wrong with his "100sat/B" minimum.
3905  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin address with 31 characters on: June 23, 2020, 04:48:59 AM
Basically, you need to bruteforce a Private key and Public key pair that will generate a SHA256 Hash then RIPEMD160 hash of that hash that have lots of trailing '0' at start.
And it shouldn't be a P2SH address because the data to be encoded into base58 will start with '05' instead of '0'.

Example: if you luckily get a RIPEMD160 hash like: 000000000000000536DD9030ECAC2E9D57457EBB that begins with 15 zeroes,
It will result to a valid address: 111111113qqRYCfHaQTXy58agJLihjB which is 31 characters long.
3906  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: which online "wallets" commingle funds? on: June 23, 2020, 03:58:57 AM
Basically any other "custodial" online wallet will do that but there's actually no "Mixing" involved in there,
Blockchain.com doesn't do this commingling.  Would it if I upgrade to the interest-paying version?
Blockchain()com is a non-custodial online wallet; you should search for "custodial wallets" instead.
Interest-paying version requires KYC, you also need to send the funds to your main wallet if you want to send them out so you won't be able to "mix" your coins for obvious reasons.

I can't recommend you any custodial service since most of them have the same policy as Coinbase so you'll like get the same results when you use them for gambling.
Consider using a desktop client like Electrum and use the common privacy measures like never re-use addresses,
you can also send the funds to a couple of different unused addresses before depositing it to Coinbase; or just use a real mixing service.
3907  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: which online "wallets" commingle funds? on: June 22, 2020, 01:41:35 PM
It's a custodial service that's why it's "commingling" the user's funds?
Basically any other "custodial" online wallet will do that but there's actually no "Mixing" involved in there,
the service itself still has logs of where your account deposited from and where you withdrew into.

Not to mention the limits and the possibility of locked funds for various reasons like "too high deposit" and red-flagged addresses/transactions.
3908  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: *** Corrupt block found indicating potential hardware failure; shutting down on: June 22, 2020, 02:58:00 AM
I think it is a 5400 rpms drive, but I agree, 12 minutes is way too long.
That's 5.49GB worth of cached data, I'd say 12 minutes to write it all in a 5400rpms disk is normal.

8GB cache however is not enough to. I exit Bitcoin Core once in a while (takes quite a few minutes) when the speed has dropped a lot and it picks up speed again on the next start. Not sure why this is so, but it works.
Looks like your dbcache is getting filled by the new UTXOs that your client is discovering, and when you close Core, it dumps it in the disk.

That was a lot of UTXO by the way.
3909  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What the heck is with CashApp & Coin Base-Huge mark up on Bitcoin purchase AND.. on: June 22, 2020, 02:14:33 AM
-snip- and there is always a routing number always showing that I did not enter(I assume that is Cash App routing for my new[just started it 6-12-2020]cash app account? The app doesn't say which place it is pulling from except for the 1st time..
-snip-
Could be your Bank's routing number, it differs per bank. FAQ says that it should be editable in your 'Banking' tab.

BTW, this should be in the "Service Discussion" Board.
3910  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Using electrum.blockstream.info server? on: June 21, 2020, 12:21:48 PM
If it's the link to "Retweet" in the OP, then there's no direct endorsement happened,
-snip-
Well yes. I'm (gratefully) no user of Twitter, but if T.V. lets that “Retweet” sit for several days on his account page, doesn't that imply that he approves of it?
-snip-
It doesn't look like an "approval" to me, I'll stand by what I've said: it's "bumping the news".

Also: there's always a certain level of trust required for people to function at all. I have to trust my VPN when they tell me they don't keep any logs. Apparently this Blockstream company also states that they do no such thing. If T.V. is trusting them, shouldn't I also trust them? Until evidence of the contrary...
It's up to you to stick to a single server.
Me, I'm using any server as long as it's functional and leave it to Electrum's random server selection unless there's a vulnerability in the client's version.
3911  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Using electrum.blockstream.info server? on: June 21, 2020, 11:10:40 AM
Is there any reference where ThomasV endorsed Blockstream's server?

If it's the link to "Retweet" in the OP, then there's no direct endorsement happened,
it's much more of a bump or news of a new server using a new server implementation though (Esplora?).
3912  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I've found my old wallet.dat now what? on: June 20, 2020, 02:26:54 AM
Sorry for my poor english. nope it's not yet resolved. -snip-
Your English is fine, it's not as bad as mine  Smiley
The problem is you hadn't stated it clearly and didn't actually replied to the previous posts (but did after answering a question),
What I get is: you've mentioned about a BTC balance in a mining pool then proceeded to mention the wallet.
Then you didn't tell if you have the passphrase for the wallet (in the OP) but given a clue that you didn't in the previous reply.

BTW, it's what I've said in my previous reply.
You need to at least know a couple of possible passphrases or parts to bruteforce it.

it sync but according to my adress it has some but not showing in btc core
Where did you found the address? In a txt file? You shouldn't rely on that.

Have you properly loaded your wallet.dat?
You need to paste it in the data directory\wallets while Bitcoin Core isn't running then it will issue a rescan at start.
3913  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Police Arrest on: June 19, 2020, 05:52:06 AM
Exactly. What was that guy thinking about running an obvious farm without attracting some sort of attention.
Mining farm.... Roll Eyes
At the price of 4cents per kWh according to Knoema for that region, it gives a total of 1750 kWh per month consumed, that's not enough to feed two s9 miners.
Farm, lol!
I got a feeling that he's one of those "free-electricity guys" in the Altcoin mining section that I've seen before (About 8 of them).
I remember someone who said they are mining in the basement of something and controlling their rigs from home.

1750 kWh sounds enough for a 6-10 GPU Rig. Still, not enough to be called "mining farm".
3914  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I've found my old wallet.dat now what? on: June 19, 2020, 05:32:30 AM
Hmm, I'm confused with your last reply, is the issue now solved or not?

If it's still in the mining pool's internal wallet, they are the only one that can help you with this.
If it is in that wallet.dat and you have no idea of the possible passphrase, then a mining rig won't be able to bruteforce it unless it's short or common.
If you decided to build a mining rig, make sure that the GPUs are all 8GB so you can mine Ethereum with it at least.

I knew I had mined a little but stopped to play skyrim becasue gpu wouldn't run both ... what a bad choice it was.
Yeah, dropping Skyrim was a really bad choice  Smiley
3915  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: [Electrum] How can I add a new address having the private key? on: June 19, 2020, 05:03:00 AM
I have a wallet created with 3.3.8 and it allows me to import as many private addresses as i want (most was 9)
If it's an 'imported' wallet created using "Import Bitcoin addresses or Private keys",
Electrum will always allow you to add more private keys to that wallet.

If it's another type of wallet, please verify your Electrum's signature to make sure that it's not a fake.

Quote from: MoparMiningLLC
-snip-
Honestly, you lost me at the last paragraph.

But if the issue is the history and the transactions and balance are somehow fetched correctly;
Check if you've set a "filter" before, a drop-down menu should be displayed above the history, select "All";
if there's none, then it's disabled. Use "Wallet->History->Filter" to re-enable it.
3916  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum bitcoin wallet review 2020 on: June 18, 2020, 12:29:47 PM
Features like coinjoin and paynyms are still missing tho. -snip-
By the way, Coinjoin will be available in the next release  Smiley
Although it's not as intuitive as Wasabi's, in Electrum it will be a painstaking manual merging of transactions and distribution of partially signed merged transaction to the other parties.

Here's one testnet coinjoin transaction that I've tried: fe3dde593d428606aab307bc11a179fbfacb416176865d1f7d14276fc25ce597
(merged inputs and outputs from three different wallet types)
3917  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: For Crypto Users: Reasons why we should not download pirated softwares on: June 18, 2020, 03:05:24 AM
Scan files with virustotal.com first. It's a legit site and it will always tell you if there is a virus. -snip-
The problem with Virustotal is you need to download the file first and upload it to the site before it can scan the actual file; in which case, you can be infected by downloading the file.
Scanning the URL of the direct download link will only trigger a scan to that URL's source/connections, not the file to be downloaded.

Example: If you scan https://download.electrum.org/3.3.8/electrum-3.3.8.exe you'll 1 "Malicious" result by SophosAV.
But if download the actual file and upload it, you'll get six totally different results - for Electrum, bunch of false positives.
3918  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: bitcoin-cli - how to get coinbase address from earlier blocks on: June 18, 2020, 02:00:20 AM
Exactly my point, so why is it that nc50lc is saying (as I have seen some others claim as well):
Quote
You shouldn't derive the address based from that Public Key because the owner wont be able to spend it using the "P2PKH" script even if he has the private key.
Just wondering if I'm missing something here..
OP is talking about the actual P2PK transactions here, not the "donations" to the derived address, so am I.
Of course the owner of the private key can spend those donations using P2PKH script but not the UTXO from the P2PK transaction though that "address".

Additionally for naufragus:
Most clients (like Bitcoin Core) can still spend P2PK if the you have the private key since it is still standard,
but it's not a P2PKH script that can be represented as an address which is the point of the earlier replies.
3919  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger live 2.5.0. crash at launch windows 10 2004 ? on: June 17, 2020, 08:10:14 AM
Hi folks, I can't open ledger live 2.5.0 in windows 10 2004. When I open application it crashed at launch, I install Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable it doesn't help me.

If anyone having same issue and able to fix it then share your experience in the comment.
-snip-
The Windows version is quite old, but I doubt that it has something to do with the 'age' of your OS...

Ledger live only works with 64-Bit version of Windows10, 2004 version must have a 32-bit version.
Check your PC if it's 32 or 64 Bit in "Search->System Information".

If not, consider upgrading by enabling "Windows Update", Ledger Live 2.5.0 works in my not-so-updated Window10 PC (2015).
Or pair it with Electrum (electrum.org) instead.
3920  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: bitcoin-cli - how to get coinbase address from earlier blocks on: June 17, 2020, 03:39:30 AM
What he meant is P2PK scripts are Pay-to-Public-Key (read it literally to understand  Wink).
You shouldn't derive the address based from that Public Key because the owner wont be able to spend it using the "P2PKH" script even if he has the private key.
Those are only common in the old blocks

New widely used scripts are P2PKH short for Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash which is RIPEMD160[SHA256(Public Key)],
that's where addresses work.
