The seeds words are presented to you when you create the wallet. They are not saved in your Electrum app.
Yes... they are. They are stored in the wallet file if you are using an Electrum seed mnemonic. However, if you imported a BIP39 seed mnemonic, it does NOT store the seed words... only the master private key. You can even open your wallet file and see them using a text editor if your wallet does not have a password and is not encrypted. But as suggested by OmegaStarScream... the easiest option is: "Wallet -> Seed" from the menus I am not sure what you mean with 'I shuffled different paper copies'.
I assume the OP has several different seeds written on different pieces of paper and has mixed them up... and now no longer knows which is their actual seed.  |

usually this only happens if two blocks are found relatively quickly in succession, so it probably isn't the culprit here. this block was found 4 minutes after the previous so i'm curious why it was empty.
I think you mean 4 seconds Height 579419

... It's rare?
It's simply an empty block... It isn't super common, but it does occur relatively often. How possible happend with that? Then how about reward miners?
Miner still gets the full 12.5 BTC as the block reward. They just don't get fees. But the actual block reward is the main component of the total reward anyway... a lot of blocks are in the 13 BTC reward range even with fees... so miner is only "missing" ~0.5 BTC for mining an empty block in that instance. |

I wish I can also know from you about adding data to the Blockchain; how to add those data and in which format and for how long? Should I pay additional fees for this? You use the OP_RETURN opcode... it allows for adding up to 80 bytes worth of data into an (unspendable) output. Services like OMNI use it. More details on the specifics of OP_RETURN here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script#Flow_controlAnd a pretty indepth explanation of how it is used (although it is missing the revert to 80 bytes that happened late 2015) is here: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/29554And a list of recent OP_RETURN transactions is here: http://coinsecrets.org/As for fees... well you don't necessarily need to pay any additional fee to use OP_RETURN, but as bitcoin transaction fees are essentially based on the overall data size of your transaction, if you are adding an extra 80 bytes of data, the total fee paid will increase. |

IMPORTANT NOTE: I have never used this package... and I have no idea how it works... the documentation isn't very good, but there is an "updateFirmware.py" script that appears to load a new Firmware to the device. Having said that, perhaps you could use the LedgerHQ "Python Loader" package which seems to be capable of updating the firmware: https://github.com/LedgerHQ/blue-loader-pythonUnfortunately, I have no idea where you can actually get firmware files from. Perhaps try and post on the Ledger Reddit, the Ledger support peeps seem fairly active there: https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/Although it should be noted, that most of their responses to users stuck on firmware 1.2 were to open a support ticket and mention that they were stuck on firmware 1.2.

The OP has not mentioned anywhere that he is using Windows 7
OOPS!  a combination of my skim reading and getting my "ledger firmware issues" threads mixed up... I saw mention of Windows 7 a couple of posts back, and ran with it... my bad!  |

@HCP
one cannot be banned for the re-establishment of a sentence.. is absurd
it is definitely exaggerating, like witch hunt Actually... it isn't absurd. It is the very definition of plagiarism: Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work. Plagiarism is considered academic dishonesty and a breach of journalistic ethics.
Just because it isn't an exact copy or word for word copy/paste... doesn't mean it isn't plagiarism. Indeed... from the wikipedia article, #3 and, to a lessor extent, #10 of Common forms of "student" plagiarism would apply here: Common forms of student plagiarism
According to a 2015 survey of teachers and professors by Turnitin[40] there are 10 main forms of plagiarism that students commit:
...
3. Re-writing someone's work without properly citing sources.
...
10. Relying too heavily on other people's work. Fails to bring original thought into the text.
how can understand if is another sentence and not same with synonymous or is a spinbot?
Because I speak, read and understand English. It is blatantly obvious to any native speaker that these posts have been made with the use of a spinbot or simple replacement with synonyms... which, as per above, is still plagiarism. |

User: Rainwind - BANNEDReason: Spinbot shitposting spammer Recent Posts Archived: http://archive.is/IZ7zgA small selection of originals+spun posts is shown below:
Original: Many are really disappointed in the cryptocurrency after its fall, but on the other hand, everyone should understand that each market had its ups and downs. An example of this could be the global financial market.
SPIN: Various are actually unsatisfied in the cryptocurrency later its drop, on the other hand on the additional manus, everybody should explain that everyone marketplace had its ups and downs. An instance of this could be the world-wide economic marketplace.
Original: Well icos are still surviving, when I mean ICOs, I mean good projects . People still invest in good projects but the problem is how would they know it is good or bad. Failed ICOs have made investors restrain from investing. So good ICOs are still surviving.
SPIN: Good icos are yet continuing, when I signify ICOs, I signify great layouts. Humans yet put in great proposal on the other hand the issue is how would they recognise it is great or poor. Unsuccessful ICOs get prepared investors keep from investment. So great ICOs are yet extant.
Original: Bro you are not for btcs; you read it just now, For God's sake everywhere its written tthat most ICos are fraud, where were you then?
SPIN: Bro you are not representing btcs; you peruse it aloof instantly, Representing Deity 's profit in all places its backhand tthat nearly ICos are fraudulence, where were you so?
Original: ICOs are not dear par say but at same time they are dying slowly. For instance, if you look back to 2017 ICO boom and compare it to what we had last year and till now, you'll notice a heavy decline both in participants and money raised. Most of the few ones around now are just scam. People now prefer to buy the Tokens after listed on exchanges and dump off at any pump.
SPIN: ICOs are not adored standard add on the other hand at equivalent age they are demise slow. Representing example, whether you looking backbone to 2017 ICO roar and refer it to what we had remain yr and trough instantly, you'll concern a big fall both in sharers and cash elevated. Nearly of the infrequent ones round instantly are aloof bunco. Humans instantly incline towards to purchase the Coins later catalogued on changes and drop out at whatever shoe.
Original: of course we have to research before investing with ico if we don't want to lose money quickly, the fact that there are many fraud victims from ico. we must be vigilant and it is not easy to trust ico just like that before we examine the overall clarity of the contents of their project.
SPIN: of line we get to analysis earlier investment with ico whether we assume 't wish to miss cash rapidly, the truth that thither are various fraudulence sufferer from ico. we have to be watchful and it is not easy to belief ico aloof similar that earlier we investigate the total lucidness of the passages of their propose.
Original: A trader must of course trust and support the development of crypto as a strong foundation in investing in it. I know Cryptocurrency statistics are sometimes difficult to understand everything, especially fluctuating markets. Do your best and learn about how to invest well in returning losses.
SPIN: A bargainer have to of line belief and aid the growth of crypto as a hard bottom in investment in it. I recognise Cryptocurrency data are occasionally hard to explain all things, largely varying marketplaces. Achieve your better and study almost how to sink good in reverting releases.

I'm guessing the poster immediately following that previous one was using the same spin bot... I've join in in infrequent casts in the former that are not behavior as well good as thither is not all the more a one purchase additional on the barters they are catalogued, representing generosity no yr is greater than 2017
I managed to find the original post... I've participate in few projects in the past that are not doing too well because there is not even a single buy other on the exchanges they are listed, for bounties no year is better than 2017
Whatever those guys paid for that spin bot... it was too much  |

- In your main OS, create an unsigned transaction.
- Copy the unsigned transaction onto an USB
- Boot your tails, insert the stick, mount it, and check / sign the transaction with your 'old' electrum wallet
The only issue I can see with that solution is that you might run into problems because the "old" Electrum wallet is unable to open and/or sign transactions created with a newer version of Electrum. I vaguely recall seeing users having issues previously due to the Transaction format changing and/or attempting to use different versions for online/offline. Indeed I did a quick test, and couldn't get 2.9.3 to open transactions created with 3.3.6  |

With a wallet that old, I'd guess your addresses started with a "1". So, in Electrum you should have chosen "legacy". However, if your addresses started with a "3", you should have used "Nested SegWit".
Still, good that you managed to get the funds transferred... your options for updating the firmware (and continuing to use the Ledger device) are going to be a bit limited on Windows 7. It seems a lot of users have issues with Windows 7 and Ledger Live.
You'll probably need to either update to Windows 10 or perhaps run a Linux bootable USB.

The last 8 bit are a checksum, which verify the first 248 bit are correct.
...
Since the mnemonic code basically consists of 248 bit random number + 8 bit checksum this results in 2^248 possibilities.
Just a minor correction... and being a bit of a pedant here... but it's a 256 bit random number + 8 bit checksum, so 264 bits in total.Still, that doesn't change the fact that the odds of "randomly" picking 24 words from the BIP39 wordlist and finding someone elses wallets are, for all intents and purposes, zero. |

As stated prior, nLockTime can only guarantee that the receiver cannot access the funds until a certain block... but it doesn't stop the sender from simply creating a new transaction to spend them, invalidating the original nLockTime transaction. So, I would agree that 2-of-3 MultiSig seems to be the solution here... using a trusted 3rd party to hold the 3rd private key.
Funds could be put into the multi-sig address now, effectively "locking" them, and when block# 585,500 arrives, the trusted 3rd party can co-sign a transaction to move the funds or release the 3rd key to the appropriate party, so that they can move the funds themselves.
Either that... or just send the funds to an escrow with instructions to not release until block# 585,500

Just out of curiosity... what exactly are you using to sign these messages?  As far as I'm aware, Bitcoin Core (aka Bitcoin-qt) does not support signing messages with bech32 (aka "bc1") addresses... and Electrum does not put "Version: Bitcoin-qt (1.0)" in signed messages. Also, I'd feel far more comfortable with these signed messages, if you included a "datetime" and a more specific reason. Such a generic message could be easily re-used... something like this: |

Now the message on reddit is completely changed and my nickname is listed there. I explained the situation as it is, the point is not even that this is my message, but the fact that the message on the reddit was published later. No plagiarism can be, please remove the unfounded allegations of plagiarism. If that were true... why is the datetime stamp on the reddit article BEFORE the datetime stamp on the forum post? Last time I checked... 28th April comes before 29th April... so, if "the message on reddit was published later", how is it that the Reddit post came some 7 1/2 hours before your forum post? For the record... both datetime stamps are shown in NZST:   The fact that you've somehow managed to convince the "Miniapps" user to go and edit their old Reddit post to supposedly say it was "inspired" by your Bitcointalk post and then claim your post came first is pretty deceitful, especially when the timestamps prove otherwise. I'd guess it was done out of desperation at trying to avoid a permanent ban. However, with all that said... I still agree with DireWolfM14: I'm pretty touchy about plagiarism, and not likely to cut anyone any slack for padding his post count and spamming the forum by copying the work of others, but if this is why gefander was banned it seems kind of petty. It's obvious he copied some text and failed to provide a source, but he sort of half-assed announced that's what he was doing.
I wound't call gefander a great contributor to the forum, and it's unlikely he'll have this ban lifted due to his contributions. However, if this turns out to be an isolated circumstance (as it appears) I would rather see some leniency in this case. I would agree that it was fairly obvious that gefander just did copy/paste and forgot the "quote" tags. A short temp+sig ban is probably warranted in this case. |

OP was probably edited after the account in question posted his/her opinion on the topic.
While it is a plausible theory... unfortunately, it isn't a correct one. if you look at the bottom of Page TWO of the thread, there is a post (#40) quoting the OP, which already includes the "EDIT": https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1101336.msg11770815#msg11770815Software development team here.
We would like to hear from the community what are the most annoying\frustrating stuff you have with Bitcoin and would love to get a solution for ?
Feel free to talk about any problem, even if it seems unsolvable or too abstract (e.g. Bitcoin is not safe enough for the average user)
Edit:
After reading all the replies, I feel confident summarizing that the #1 problem of Bitcoin is probably lack of adoption.
And the main reasons of lack of adoption are probably ease of use and insufficient security.
We are a team of entrepreneurs and software developers that are going to spend the next following months-year on developing a new product.
One of the most appealing markets for us is the Bitcoin market.
We will try to learn us much as possible from your replies and try to tackle the problems head on.
The single biggest problem with bitcoin is making it accessible and useable for any idiot. Maybe the 2 problems overlap a little. 
But automated systems can also lead to serious problems :
Positive contributors can get banned for forgetting to put things in quotes.
Sayings and common phrases could potentially lead to a ban.
Deliberate manipulation of external websites can lead to bans. (It has in the past)
My understanding from the various comments made in the posts in Meta, is that the banning is NOT automated... only the reporting of possible plagiarism is automated. The bans (in spite of the "Autoban" name on the Modlog) are still done by a human who needs to check each report before issuing the ban. Having said that, anyone reported is at the mercy of the overworked mods... but one would like to think they do more than just click the ban button when a report is received. |

Further, there is no evidence, and no basis for the assumption he moved the coins for his "security".
And there is also no evidence, and no basis for the assumption that he moved the coins to "embezzle" them. In my opinion, it's just as likely that he was moving them for "security" reasons as it is that he was doing it to "steal" them. I haven't really seen any real proof to say either way. The only thing that can be stated for a fact regarding the movement of these coins, is that the coins were moved... and the only person that truly knows why this happened is Hhampuz ( assuming Hhampuz is the only one with access to the private keys). |

The most likely situation i can think is a downloaded an infected Electrum app from its official site.
I highly doubt that... especially if you can verify the digital signature... did you verify the digital signature? Given that you're "a software developer with more than 20 years experience", verifying the digital signature shouldn't take you more than a few minutes. |
