Yeah I next time I definitely am going to check the fees do you guys think if I let it go it'll eventually  be confirmed with that fee I mean its low but not as low as it could could be u know
It will eventually but it's very hard to predict the mempool.
For now, I can only tell that it's looking good and the number of unconfirmed transactions has been decreasing from 29,000 when you started this thread to 24,000.

The priority fee also fell down to 25 sat/B.
4062  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Need help with Electrum Error on: April 30, 2020, 02:04:54 AM
I took a screenshot of the error and pasted the link below for anyone to see


Is it encrypted?
If it isn't, just open a copy of the wallet file using a text editor and you should see the seed or a master private key.

Seed should look like this (just a sample, do not import, do not post yours either):
Code:
"seed": "like expose apple child wealth dog enough dress knee gun side damage",
Master private key looks like this:
Code:
"xprv": "xprv9s21ZrQH143K2zyhHG1QtJoRbFEmoRFavZPDpdZZcD3y5tCCAUJkUBKeEEMRnMiVYgWb9dJSRb................................................",


If it's encrypted and you know the passphrase, click on "Wallet->Seed", type your passphrase then the seed will be displayed.
Then create a new wallet "File->New/Restore", type a wallet name then click next, select "Standard wallet->I already have a seed".

It's recommended to do all of those while offline.
-edit-
If any of the above didn't worked, try to import it to 'Electrum 1.8.1 portable' just to export the seed phrase since you'll only see string of characters as seed in the text file (for old wallet files).

Download 1.8.1 portable from here: https://download.electrum.org/ or go to https://electrum.org/#download and click "Previous releases".
Copy the wallet file in the same directory as the Electrum portable executable and rename it into electrum.dat.
Open Electrum 1.8.1, click "Wallet->Show->Seed", then import that to the latest version.

Lastly, even old Electrum wallets or even electrum.dat from electrum should open without issues to v3.3.8 (I've just tried it and it worked).
But the seed written in the wallet file won't be updated to mnemonics, you have to export it through console/GUI.

-snip- I've put it into a free transaction accelerator and it said it was sent to 10 bitcoin nodes relisted or something  -snip-
That sounds like a bogus transaction accelerator that rebroadcasts transaction instead of "mining" it; the keyword is "sent to 10 nodes".
Nodes automatically do that and it's unnecessary whatever their reason is.

The problem is it's ineligible for the free legit one that I know that actually accelerates txs (viabtc) because it's 0.241 satoshi short from the minimum 10sat/B fee rate.

As of now, the priority fee is 40Sat/B.
Next time, if you saw that the recommended fee in the slider is quite high, set your transaction to at least 10sat/B so you can accelerate it through viabtc accelerator.

-edit-
Hey man thanks I used https://bitaccelerate.com/ and it said it had broadcasted -snip-
Look like I'm right, re-broadcasting your TX wont help unless it didn't propagate well which has never been the case for "stuck" transactions.

-snip- also it show no transactions history meanwhile i have been trading for about 3 years now.
This is kinda positive sign; if there's no transaction history, then the 0 balance must be because your wallet isn't updated in their server.
That's a very common problem with blockchain.com, unless you have logged-in to a phishing/fake site.

Have you also checked the drop-down menu beside the "BTC balance"? You can select your Bitcoin wallets there individually.
If you only have one wallet, then it must be the first issue that I've mentioned.

Contact their support or wait it out (it will be faster if you contact them).
If you need to ease your fear, check the balance of your known address from "Settings->Wallets and Addresses->(wallet name)Manage",
click each of them and you'll be redirected to their blockexplorer.

As much as possible, select AES-256 encryption for you encrypted rar, save it offline in a flash-drive and have a (physical) written copy.
If you want to save it online for personal reasons, choose your storage wisely, but it's not recommended.
4066  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: New build - airflow advice on: April 29, 2020, 07:05:50 AM
Is it possible you can have too much airflow and the miners will run too cold?
Silly question.
Even if you put it in a fridge (theoretically) it won't run cold since the chips themselves will produce more than enough heat to fight the external cold temp.

Too much airflow won't cool-down a room that much anyways.

4067  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Is there any free and unlimited wallet API service? on: April 29, 2020, 04:03:48 AM
BTCPay does indeed look quite promising. Unfortunately though it's not designed for sending payments which is actually a crucial requirement for us.
I've also looked into Electrum (maybe in combination with the CLI), but I'm not sure if this is scalable enough.
You can send payments from BTCPay Wallet (if you're using a Hardware Wallet) or the main wallet where the xpub was extracted from.

The hardest requirement to fulfill is the 1m+ address which is only possible with Bitcoin Core (req. the whole blockchain).
Electrum will struggle to sync the wallet's transactions, don't know if their own BTCPay Wallet and Wasabi can.

If BTCPay Wallet can handle all those addresses: Purchase a Hardware wallet instead.

For Bitcoin Core: There's no official documentation to connect Bitcoin Core to BTCPay: docs.btcpayserver.org/getting-started/connectwallet
But since it only requires the main wallet's master public key, it's possible to connect it to Core.
4068  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Need some help from a coins.ph User on: April 28, 2020, 10:05:36 AM
Does this HD wallet belong to coins.ph?
-snip-
If this is true: whale-alert link, then that belongs to Coinbase.
Because the address: 3FePstQL8Nudkd182D7KAEF29rCTadpN5q belongs to that wallet.

The second the third post are both true, 00000dd86b is Coins.ph.
But it may not be exclusive to Philippines, Coins operate in other countries too, aside from '.ph' they also have '.co.th', '.id', '.my' and '.vn'.
4069  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: BTC Error Code -26 Txn Mempool. on: April 28, 2020, 05:38:27 AM
Brother theres no hacker. -snip-
Then what's the actual issue?
Setting a very low fee won't be a threat unless you're the receiver, paying something that has a deadline or you're in a hurry.

But based from that ambiguous underlined phrase (from my quote), it sounds like he's trying to send BTC but someone already 'sent' the payment without his consent and the error indicated that the inputs were spent.
Try to rephrase that part that will make sense.
4070  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: BTC Error Code -26 Txn Mempool. on: April 27, 2020, 07:42:10 AM
-snip- This is dangerous As fuck. How do we avoid this? (Since i also use blockchain)? Is It because of the low fee?.
You'll get that "-26 error" if there is an input(s) in your transaction that's already spent.

-snip-
A guy paid $30 with a 0.08$ Fee, and this error came and then without him even knowing the payment was sent. This is dangerous As fuck. How do we avoid this? (Since i also use blockchain)?
Is It because of the low fee?.
So that person must be the sender and based from the context, there's another person who's in control of his wallet, private keys or seed phrase.
Like what I've said above, someone has already spent the input(s) that he's trying to spend.
It doesn't look like because of the fee, it's more a spending "race" between that user and the hacker, he broadcast late.

How can you avoid it? Triple your security, start by not using online wallets.
BTW, where's the link to that "report" so I can judge if it's something you should get worked up with?

I ask you, what was wrong with this post?
I recognize that reply, that was posted in a Technical Discussion thread.
As far as I can remember, your suggestion was at the second or next pages, already tried by the OP or was posted without taking the previous replies in account.

By context, there's nothing wrong with it but it didn't add anything to the topic.

Disclaimer: I'm not the one who reported that post.

-Edit-
Found it: (modlog) "Delete reply: Re: Is it dangerous to load other people's wallet files in the Bitcoin client? in topic #5241531 by member #964385"
It was posted here: /index.php?topic=5241531.0, so it's off-topic.

I'm asking how you learnt about this when it's not in the Post Reply BBCode menu:
I was about to suggest the same thing but Pmalek already did.

4073  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [General] Bitcoin Wallets - Which, what, why? on: April 26, 2020, 03:00:05 PM
I am between Electrum and Bitcoin Wallet. Is it safe to download them from Google Play?
Electrum in Google play (v3.3.7) is one-release outdated than the one in the official site: https://electrum.org/#download.
You're going to miss the bugfixes and performance issues included in the latest release (v3.3.8) [release notes].
So if you prefer Electrum over Bitcoin Wallet, download the latest version from the site instead.

I can't comment on the other option, I haven't used it.
4074  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Wallet was restored fine but "unspendable". on: April 25, 2020, 06:04:51 AM
-snip- your seed words are supposed to restore the wallet isn't it,I'm not being sarcastic or anything that's probably the first thing I was told years ago "save your seed words save your wallet",guess that's not really true. -snip-
For the record, blockchain.info had been using that mnemonic log-in info backup even before BIP39 was introduced in 2013.
So it's not actually reasonable to blame their old mnemonics for following something that didn't exist yet.
Their late implementation of BIP39 seeds is one problem though; not to mention (bec. off-topic), late native SegWit blockexplorer support.

The seed words I found were "thunder purchase pave tower lecture upgrade supreme half kid fitness tray shove"
That's a valid BIP39 seed.
4075  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: VanitySearch (Yet another address prefix finder) on: April 25, 2020, 04:41:17 AM
Nice work! Thank You Smiley
But i have one more question.
How to move the newly created file to a new location after every loop?
Really? Is it that hard to manually move the text files instead of automating it?  Cheesy
Ok, just add this line to the batch file's first three lines and %directory% after each %output%, it should look like this:
Code:
@set directory=C:\test\
Code:
.
.
.
.
set loop=0
:start
%command% -i %input% -o %directory%1%output%
set /a loop=%loop%+1
if "%loop%"=="100" goto next
goto start

:next
%command% -i %input% -o %directory%2%output%
set /a loop=%loop%+1
if "%loop%"=="200" goto next2
goto next
.
.
.

Make sure that 'test' folder under C:\ is already existing or it will fail to write.
4076  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What happens if 2 miners mine the same block at the same time? on: April 24, 2020, 12:16:26 PM
Guys, hash collision is not impossible.

Take example these 2 images. They have the same MD5 hash:
Nobody said that it's impossible, it's just very very low.
However, your example used MD5 hash algorithm that only has 2^128 possible outputs, prone to collision attacks and collisions were already discovered.
In comparison, Bitcoin uses SHA-256 which has a lot larger output size of 2^256, no easy attack vector [specially SHA-256d (double) used by Bitcoin's POW] and currently no recorded collision.
4077  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What happens if 2 miners mine the same block at the same time? on: April 24, 2020, 04:14:29 AM
Imagine they have the same hash and the same block header's information. What happens then? Do they spread it to the network and whoever is luckier wins?
If that happened, then the network wont bother since it's the same block  Roll Eyes

Two miners can't have the same hash of their constructed block header unless they also have the same coinbase transaction (the "block reward") or it's a SHA-256 collision.
Why? The coinbase transaction will also be used together with the TXs to make the 'hashMerkleRoot' that's in the block header;
SHA-256 has a very-very-very huge number of possible outputs, two different inputs will only have the same hash if they are exactly the same or there's a collision.

-edit- Noticed that it's the same answer as hatshepsut93's, removed and added something else.

What you wan't to know is when two different blocks were mined at the same time, then there will be a fork that could create a temporary alternate chain.
If you already got 'Mastering Bitcoin', re-read page 200-204.
4078  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Secret-sharing scheme that can be “audited” without auditing code? on: April 24, 2020, 03:22:44 AM
However, I want to allow users of my app (who may not be coders...) to double-check--without having to audit my code--that my implementation of SSS is not flawed.
Auditing an app accurately without looking at the code is impossible,
all the user can do it so look for suspicious activity beyond the app's functions, and that can't be done by newbies either.

If that is indeed the case, which other reliable public (deterministic) solution/algorithm could my app use to:
Since you're looking for a reputable tool that uses SSS, check iancoleman's:

That can double as a verify-er as well.
4079  Other / Archival / Re: Trouble with Coinb.in Wallet on: April 24, 2020, 02:40:26 AM
I have been using Coinb.in and I just tried doing a withdraw with my segwit adress and i can't, i get the following error:
No, its me who used the source code to make my own "coinbin"
I've checked the source of your own coinb.in and confirmed that all the necessary javascript are there, but you seem to have removed the whole "Donation" element.
That small edit had impacted the code for the transaction generation.

I have also successfully reproduced the issue by removing the same element.
And solved the issue by just hiding the element instead of removing it:

Just add this in the element of that donation amount:
Code:
style="visibility:hidden"
Then edit the default value to "0".
If you wan't to totally disable it, tinker with the the javascript(s), it's your site.

I don't know why we are making it soo complicated, the question is where OP received the fund? -snip-
He's started another thread regarding a problem with coinb.in that might be related because the address with issue starts with '3' (which could be a P2WPKH-P2SH).
If that's the main problem, he still hasn't solved this.

It's in the web wallets board: Trouble with Coinb.in Wallet
