Directly copying the wallet.dat file isn't recommended since it may not have everything you need to restore your wallet. You should use the option in the file menu or the RPC command. This consolidates all the data into one file for you.
Really? I was under the impression it is simply creating a copy of the wallet.dat, as all that option seems to do is create a copy of your "wallet.dat"... it isn't creating an archive or anything like that. Or are you saying that the GUI/RPC option makes sure that the wallet.dat is "updated" with current data and then "copied"? backupwallet "destination"
Safely copies current wallet file to destination, which can be a directory or a path with filename.
Also, I probably should have mentioned earlier that if you *are* going to be manually copying the wallet.dat, you shouldn't do it while Bitcoin Core GUI or bitcoind is actually running. You should make sure that it is shutdown first. Which then also begs the question, does shutting down the GUI/bitcoind leave the wallet.dat in a state similar to using the "Backup wallet" option?  I was told on irc by luke jr that you should use the backup option. Otherwise the wallet file's contents are strewn across multiple files. The backup option consolidates them into one file. |

Hi, I recently wanted to backup my Bitcoin Core HD (hierarchical deterministic) wallet. Unfortunately, Bitcoin Core currently doesn't make it easy, so many of you need a tutorial how to.
Not easy? You simply do as Abdussamad suggested and use the backup wallet option in the menu of the GUI or just backup the "wallet.dat" file directly if you're not using the GUI... how is that not easy? Directly copying the wallet.dat file isn't recommended since it may not have everything you need to restore your wallet. You should use the option in the file menu or the RPC command. This consolidates all the data into one file for you. |

Your Electurm is installed correctly what you need is to have the icon? Yes, I'd like an icon but that's not the only issue. Electrum will not start by entering the "electrum" command in terminal. It seems like it should start by doing that if it's installed correctly. Add ~/.local/bin to your PATH variable and it will: export PATH="$PATH:/home/willy2streams/.local/bin"
Add the above line to your .bashrc file. Then close and open the terminal again and hopefully it'll work. As I said before the installation instructions provided on the electrum download page are for an unprivileged user installation because they don't want you fetching modules from pip as root. |

if you don't care about it being used or not then just generate an address via whatever algo you are talking about and check whether its checksum validates. the only requirement for a bitcoin address is that the checksum validate. you don't need the blockchain to do this.
also afaik abe isn't maintained anymore. you may want to look at electrumx for something similar.

yeah use the backup wallet option in the file menu of the bitcoin-qt gui instead
|
|
|
|
|
no don't do that. just create a shortcut on your desktop that points to /home/willy2streams/.local/bin/electrum
|
|
|
|
|
Create a shortcut manually to ~/.local/bin/electrum. Because you did a --user install using pip it's installed it in your home directory.

We don't have access to your wallet so we don't know why you can't spend that money. But there's a common scam going around where people convince you to add their address to your wallet or they ask for your login details and do it themselves. If you did something like that then that money isn't yours.

it is correct name 100%
I am create new Electrum wallet and check every word, several attempts
But button "Next" not active
I look manual on YouTube, but manual bloggers different from mine
I have question. Electrum have RUS interface? Maby i have hack-version? I know hackers are faking Electrum
try using electrum on a different device. if you have an android phone and it is not rooted then you can install electrum on that via the play store and attempt a restore there. this should rule out any hardware problems on your PC. |

you don't need to change the language in order to use a seed in a different language.

This is very bad for your privacy and the privacy of others you deal with but it can be done: - go to view menu > show addresses, right click on one of the addresses on that tab and choose to view its private key. copy that to the clipboard. - create an imported private key wallet using that private key. - switch to your deterministic wallet (old wallet) via file > open and send all the funds to the address in that imported priv key wallet. - only use the imported priv key wallet in future. |

The addresses tab used to be visible by default and that led to people being confused about why they had so many addresses. They were under the mistaken impression that one wallet = one address. So they hid that tab by default and now you have people complaining about the receive tab handing out different addresses each time!
@OP your "guy" hasn't sent you money yet. he's probably trying to scam you. if you're seeing a balance in the bottom left, a green or blue orb in the bottom right, you're using electrum 3.3.8 and the history tab does not reflect any incoming payments then you haven't been paid! It doesn't take 9 or 11 hours to transfer bitcoin. He's fooling you!

See 2 & 3 here. If this doesn't help then do let us know how many words in your seed and whether all the words are in the dictionary linked on that page in number 3. |

install electrum on your server, create a watch only version of your wallet and then have your app interact with electrum over json rpc.

The risk with pirated windows is that it may be backdoored and you may get robbed because of that. Win 10 ISO is available for free download from the MS website. You don't even have to activate it to start with. Another alternative is to use linux.

there's a backup wallet option in the file menu of bitcoin qt. then you simply place the backup file in a directory of it's own on the other PC and when you run bitcoin qt for the first time there it'll ask you to set the location of the data dir so you point it to that directory. then wait for it to download and verify the blockchain.

edit: no that looks like a permissions issue. i'm not familiar with windows but you may need to install electrum as an administrator. alternatively there's the standalone exe download that just works: https://electrum.org/#download |
