Can some could give me a link to where I can extract this hash I make on the bitcoin-qt running on console listunspent and I make a transaction and this hash presented to me by qt can I COPY PASTE it on some website or somesort I've running an experimental any help will be much loved,
Based from your previous topics, posts and this thread; you must be talking about a non-broadcast transaction's hash...

If you only got the hash and the raw transaction wasn't saved, then it's useless because you can't reverse a hash.
You need the "Signed RAW Transaction" in HEX to paste in on a website (which I guess, to broadcast it).

By the way, there are ways to include a non-existing transaction to a wallet.dat file that's being used for scam purposes.
Did you bought/received that wallet file from someone?
4182  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Multiple Processes Started on Windows on: March 16, 2020, 02:30:01 AM
On Windows 10, there is only 1 process shown running in Task Manager.
At my end, it's showing 1 in the active process (Apps) and 1 in the Background processes (lower portion of task manager).
The memory consumption is just about right, the background process has lower memory consumption than the active one.

I'm also using Windows 10.

W7 doesn't have this kind of grouping, IIRC.
4183  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Trying to open wallet from 2013 on: March 15, 2020, 03:00:41 AM
I guess i missunderstand the #4 post cause you said anything like restore the old wallet but i would like to know if the same process can be use for other BTC wallet (electrum).
That's off-topic but yes, you can.

But Electrum's wallet file doesn't have to be renamed to be loaded by default, you just have to paste it to the data directory:
%appdata%/electrum/wallets then open it using 'file->open' menu even if Electrum is running.

If the amount is over 50 BTC you should consider selling OTC as you could get 20% premium for your "virgin" btc.

Dont sweep into one address as it will or could reveal your identity.
-snip-
Some will pay a premium for fresh coins as someone above stated earlier..
-snip-

Too bad, he already did. (https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/54aa0aa03fd0dc5f4a6e2c61fc6267e3ae82c36d122d36e0bd6cb1022a154a01)
If the link from that article is true and it's really him, then those 20 coinbase transactions are just consolidated to 3CU4AYJH23ePNnKsycinP5TSogCNGsyqCc then sent to different addresses.
4185  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Receive Tab and History Tab Inconsistent on: March 14, 2020, 03:04:36 AM
Must be because the amount you specified wasn't 'filled' yet.
You just received 0.0045 BTC instead of 0.005

But as TryNinja said, you can ignore that because it's not actually required to receive Bitcoins, it's just for label and stuffs.
4186  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Trying to open wallet from 2013 on: March 14, 2020, 02:42:20 AM
I got it open with bitcoin core. Not sure what that 17 word thing is for. Wallet was empty as excepted lol
You might want to check if it's a brainwallet.

Just download brainwallet's source (site, the Github link is in the footer) and run it offline.
Paste your brainwallet and copy the results, check the address in a blockexplorer if it has any balance.

If there is, you can now import the private key to any Bitcoin wallet that you want.

But wait, is core not fully synced yet?
4187  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: what is this pk means on: March 14, 2020, 02:37:10 AM
I think it's "pkh" not "pk"?
If not, then it might be an old UTXO with a P2PK (Pay to Public Key) script, but it's not documented.

Read this Article about those desc (descriptors): https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-reference#deriveaddresses
4188  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Trying to open wallet from 2013 on: March 14, 2020, 02:20:49 AM
Have a question about restoring old wallet. After gettng old wallet DAT file what is the next procedure cause I'm lost there and none of you guys said something about it.
Read post#4, you need to copy it to the data directory and rename the wallet file into "wallet.dat" (Bitcoin Core have to be shutdown before proceeding).
And Core should rescan when you launch it.

The default directories written there are simplified,
for Windows, %appdata% is in your hidden C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming folder;
or just type %appdata% in the run menu (Win+R), the open "bitcoin".
4189  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Multi Quote in One Post on: March 13, 2020, 07:38:42 AM
In addition, for "pyramids", you just need to count how many [quote] and [/quote] are there,
there should be the same number of closing /quotes in every opening quote tag.

Here's how to pair the opening and closing quote tags (colors):
[quote author=user1]
[quote Author=user2]
[quote Author=user3]
User3's Reply
[/quote]
User2's Reply to User 3
[/quote]
User1's Reply to User 2
[/quote]
The first and the last tags are the pair, going to the inner tags.
Long post should be shortened/cut though.

Maybe that's a "Brainwallet", did it ring a bell?

It couldn't be a BIP39 seed if you're sure that it's from 2013 because it was just published on that year's last quarter (but there's a chance).
Did the words from that 12-word backup matched any of the words in this list: BIP39 Word-list?
4191  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Has my brother been scammed? on: March 13, 2020, 01:42:16 AM
The terms used in that email are utter bullshit, the scammer is trying too hard to sound "technical" by using widely used terms for crypto.
Words that are weirdly combined and non-existent crypto terms: "Blockchain system", "turnover operation", "default HASH", etc.
He used those common terms in a very outlandish way.

Speaking of scams, please check every user's profile that replied here by clicking on their names (left-side of posts, specially the latest ones).
Make use of the forum's "trust" feature and I suggest you to do not trust the profiles of those who've got a bad reputation.

Take care.
4192  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: What is minimum safe amount of fee that can be set manually in Electrum wallet? on: March 12, 2020, 06:49:13 AM
There's nothing wrong with your transaction.

Currently, 1sat/B is almost at the 2mB+ range (within 1mb is the priority) and there's a good chance for it to be included to a block within this hour
(if blocks aren't too delayed and more transaction wont flood in).

Past 4-8 hours's mempool size is worse.
4193  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Trying to open wallet from 2013 on: March 12, 2020, 04:33:16 AM
are you sure those wallet files are readable because usually .dat files are used for when you store data as binary not plain text which means opening it with a text editor should technically show you random looking weird characters instead of a readable text.
Try to download v1.8.1 and open the "electrum.dat" or "any_name.dat" file that it created.
Even provided with a password, it will just encrypt the seed but will leave everything "readable".

I have both wallet.dat file (random gibberish when it's opened in notepad) and then a notepad file called Bitcoin that looks like a 12 word seed. Both dated 12/24/2013
Then it isn't Electrum's wallet file.
Also, there's a chance that the 12-word seed isn't connected to that wallet file since Bitcoin Core didn't used seed phrase ever.
4194  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Trying to open wallet from 2013 on: March 12, 2020, 04:09:34 AM
I don't know where it came from, but I do have a 12 word seed phrase with it.
Very old versions of Electrum have a '.dat' extension to its wallet files, and ofc a seed phrase.
Specifically v1.8.1 from 2013.

Have you tried to open a copy of the wallet file using a text editor?
If it's Electrum, there should be readable data because the whole wallet file wasn't encrypted back then.

If you can read "addr_history" and bunch of addresses, then it must be Electrum.
Just restore your seed to the latest version from the official site: https://electrum.org/#download
4195  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Crypto Security - Additional Protection For Your Seed/Private Keys. on: March 12, 2020, 03:40:20 AM
I'm pretty sure it can.
Passphrases are great, and everyone should be using one, but they don't encrypt your seed - they are used as a salt for PBKDF2. -snip-
Yeah, it makes sense, you cannot reverse PBKDF2 so it isn't encryption.
But every Wiki/Article link about BIP39's passphrase labels it as "encryption" simply because it uses a "passphrase", those need some correction.

For the security, it's not that safe as I mentioned earlier: "the seed will be safe for a while" (the seed, not mnemonic).
4196  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Crypto Security - Additional Protection For Your Seed/Private Keys. on: March 11, 2020, 04:07:26 AM
Most metal seed phrase storage devices cannot encrypt the seed phrase, which in my opinion is a very important factor. If you store your encrypted seed phrases in more than one cloud storage device it will be much more secure. -snip-
I'm pretty sure it can.
The user can always use the standard BIP39 encryption which will only add an additional word to the existing seed (but not to be included to the backup).
Info: BIP-0039

Even if the backup is compromised, the seed will be safe for a while since the mnemonic will derive a different set of keys if there's no passphrase or the correct passphrase wasn't included in the import.
4197  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: wallet to wallet xfer - funds stuck somewhere??? on: March 11, 2020, 03:06:13 AM
The same problem of OP, someone trying to figure out what happened to transaction to this "empire"
Doesn't look the same.

In OP's case, the deposit address was already used and there's no activity whatsoever in Empire's side.
Pretty much a case of fake URL.

In that Reddit link, the OP mentioned that it was labeled as unconfirmed by Empire but removed later;
the deposit address wasn't used before, just to receive and send once.
Looks like an error on Empire (legitimate site).
4198  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Newbie returning after long hiatus on: March 11, 2020, 02:46:15 AM
That will work for recovering your Bitcoins but it requires you to sync the blockchain;
if you have the resources, do that.

To recover your BCH, you can do the same but download a BCH full node instead (note: BCH blockchain is a lot bloated than BTC's)

Alternatively, you can just export the keys from your wallet using dumpwallet command (usage: https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/0.16.0/rpc/wallet/dumpwallet/).
Using those exported keys, you can import it to other client like Electrum and Electron cash to recover BTC and BCH.

Just make sure that you have a backup of that wallet file in case of file corruption.
4199  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Secure print backup questions on: March 09, 2020, 01:39:18 PM
I just realized I used the term "Root Key" incorrectly previously.
For clarity the root key is shown, just using the secure print feature so that it is encoded.
I keep the code separately when printing or storing online (in private folder)
Ah so the one stored in s3 bucket and the one being sent to a printing store didn't contain the "encryption code".
That would slow-down anyone who took a glimpse on your encrypted root key, but not totally impossible to bruteforce.

You might want to read this old topic regarding Armory's "Secure-print" feature:
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/25694/how-secure-is-secure-print
Note: That was from 2014.

Quote from: TheBitcoinChauffeur
Also, for how many years will ASICs like S17+ Work?? Can it work viably upto 3 years??
There is no magic number, it may break on you the day it arrives or a decade down the line.
Additionally (@TheBitcoinChauffeur), those ASICs are quite modular, you don't have to replace the whole unit if it breaks;
sometimes one of the three hashboards fails, most of the time it's the Power Supply.
But it depends on the environment, if it's too dusty, hot and there's no proper maintenance, don't expect it to last for 3 years.

Also, don't forget the "silicon lottery", some units can be set to "Turbo Mode" without degrading, but some might break a few years after.
