I remember reading in meta board few topics asking the admin to add a board dedicated to such kind of threads (security, scams, phishing...) but their request didn't get approved.
Right now Beginners and Help is the most suitable boatd for theses treads as newbies are the main target of scammers and it's important to warn them about different scam schemes.

There is no benefit in reading about how to make profit if you don't know how to secure this profit and keep it safe in first place.

Sorry to hear that!
Probably the one who broke into your house didn't know about bitcoin that's why he didn't take the note book as he has no clue what those words mean.


yes, this is the phishing message you get when using a version older than 3.3.4
You had to verify the signature of the downlaoded file to be sure you didn't download a fake version.

I used Google search to find more information regarding this wallet but didn't find anything beside few articles on unreliable sources and all of them stating the same claims we can read here.
There is also an app on Google Play with 4.8 rating but most likely it's a fake and manipulated rating.

Can't figure out the intent behind sharing this article!

---

this is what I think too but there is no link to a website or to download anything, wich is a bit weird!

I suppose OP meant to say he didn't use his wallet for a long time. A cold wallet is basically an offline wallet.
To receive the phishing message, your wallet has to be connected to one of the malicious servers.. So no, it can't be a cold wallet.

@OP, sorry for telling you "forget about it". I simply didn't want to give you false hope but deep inside I hope you will, somehow, manage to recover your stolen coins.

You are being used as money mule. You receive dirty money and provide clean money for a good profit.
If you get caught, ignorance is not an excuse and you may get jailed for doing this.
10% profit should be enough to know that there is something fishy about this deal.

The hacker's address used here received more than 89 btc and certainly there are more addresses with more stolen money, just imagine the number of victims! We never heard that anyone of them succeeded to get his money back.

Sorry for your loss but if I were you, I would just forget about it and move on.
Even if the hacker gets arrested then there is not much that can be done without the addresses' private keys.

Regarding law enforcement agencies, afaik they will sell the seized bitcoins in public auctions.

Newbies were allowed to wear signatures but this is no longer possible sincethe 17th of September 2018. Read the official announcement here

The weird thing is that the signature should've been removed automatically since then!
You can PM one of the admins (I don't think mods can help hete) or buy a copper membership if you really believe the signature is not relevant anymore.

Thank you for the detailed explanation but I have to admit that it's a bit over my head 
I think I should start with the basics before jumping into this as it seems it requires a little knowledge about TA too!
Meanwhile, I'll test out few of these orders with small amounts just to better understand the difference between them.

Great guide OP. It came just in time as am planning to start day trading again and honestly had no clue what those terms meant.
I read the whole topic but still unable to grasp the meaning of most of the terms. I think i'll have to read it again.

For example, what's the difference between Stop Limit and One-Cancels-the-other and for Immediate or Cancel how long will it take before the order gets cancelled?

الاختراق لمنصة تويتر في حد ذاته حدث ضخم و يثير عديد التساؤلات.
لكن الطريقة المعتمدة للتحيل على المتابعين  و محاولة سرقة اموالهم تدل على ان هؤلاء المخترقين هم مجرد مجموعة من الهواة فقد كان بامكانهم استغلال تلك الحسابات بشكل اخر و الاستفادة منها بشكل كبير.

هناك من فسر بساطة طريقة الاحتيال بكونها محاولة للتغطية على امر اكبر او محاولة لاخفاء اثرهم (اي انهم مجموعة من المحترفين و يحاولون التسويق لعكس ذاك)
الا ان كيفية اكتشافهم و تتبع اثرهم تؤكد بالفعل انهم مجموعة من الهواة. اذ انهم كانوا يتناقشون على احد المنتديات و بعض منصات الدردشة مستعملين عناوين IP الحقيقية.

في كل الحالات كل هذا لا يفسر و لا يبرر التقصير من جانب الموظفين العاملين في تويتر فهم المسؤولون بشكل اساسي على ما حدث.

اشكر الجميع مرة اخرى على التفاعل و المساعدة.
رغم ان المبادرة اتت في وقت متاخر و كنت اشك في نجاحها لكن بفضل مساعتكم تم و الحمد لله جمع المبلغ المطلوب لشراء الاضحية بل ان المبلغ كان اكبر مما توقعت 

تم تحويل المبلغ من محفظة التبرعات للعملة المحلية و اضافته للمبلغ الذي تم جمعه بمساعدة بعض الاصدقاء.
اتصلت بالشخص المعني و توجهنا للبائع و قد قام بتخفيض السعر كونه يعرف الوضعية الصعبة للمشتري.
العملية باكملها تمت تحت مراقبتي من دفع المبلغ الى حد ايصال الاضحية للمنزل.
المبلغ المتبقي و هو مبلغ لا باس به قمت بالتبرع به لاشخاص اخرين اعرف وضعيتهم الاجتماعية جيدا و يستحقون المساعدة.

بالنسبة للاثباتات، يمكن لكل من تبرع او الاعضاء الموثوقين الاتصال بي على الخاص و سؤمكنهم من الاتصال بالشخص المعني مباشرة.

اشكر ثقتكم في و اتمنى ان اكون على قدر المسؤولية.



بارك الله فيك اخي.
من رايي ان تؤجل التبرع حتى تكون هناك مبادرة اخرى و تقرر حينها ان كنت تريد المشاركة فيها او لا.
طبعا اي مبلغ يتم ايداعه في المحفظة سيبقى هناك لحين الحاجة اليه لكن مع تقلب سعر البيتكوين افضل ان يتم التبرع في الوقت المناسب.


بالعكس اخي. قم بمراجعة التحويلات التي تمت على المحفظة. المبالغ التي جمعها محترمة و محترمة جدا و و تمكنا من تحقيق كل الاهداف التي سعينا اليها تقريبا.

مشكلة الثقة هو ما يشغل بالي حقيقة. ان ممتن جدا لثقة بقية اعضاء القسم في لكن بصراحة موضوع الاثباتات موضوع حساس جدا ربما يحتاج النقاش حوله لموضوع خاص به.

Since it's not a watching-only wallet then most likely you have opened the wrong wallet file not the one which was used to generate the address you want to sign with.
From the file menu click open then choose the correct wallet file.
To know if the address belongs to the open wallet, check the addresses tab as suggested by HCP or from the console, type:
if it returns true then you are good to go.

maybe my reply wasn't clear enough, sorry about that 
the transaction wasn't broadcasted in first place and I believe it's marked as pending not offline.

I saw many users complaining about this. It usually happens when they forget to add fees. Electrum will automatically save the transaction and mark it as pending.
When seeing pending next to the transaction on Electrum, most users will think it's been broadcasted and will wait for the confirmation which will never happen 

A transaction gets stuck when it's been broadcasted (has to be signed) but didn't confirm yet... generally because of low fees.
Here, the transaction is saved locally on your wallet and this doesn't prevent you from using the same UTXOs to create a new one.

It looks like this added new feature to Electrum 4.0.2 to save transactions locally and show them as pending is a little bit confusing.

All of this seems to be just a missunderstanding. Most exchanges will give you a one time use address to make your deposit. They will record the first transaction id as your deposit even if not confirmed. If you do a RBF, you basically create a new transaction id and cancel the first one. Your deposit will not be credited even if the second transaction gets thousands of confirmations.
However, their reply that recovering your funds may take 20 days is what concerns me.
I know Changelly is a reputable exchange but 20 days to fix a problem caused by changing the transaction id because of RBF seems odd and very ver odd. It usually takes few minutes to fix this.

To answer your question:

Unconfirmed: means it has been broadcasted and exists on mempools, most nodes can see it but it wasn't confirmed yet.
Pending: means it only exists on your wallet and hasn't been broadcasted yet. The network doesn't know about the existance of this transaction.
No other node can see it.
Either the transaction hasn't been signed or signed but hasn't been broadcasted (saved locally).
Electrum 4.0.2 added too many features and some of them may be confusing for those who are used to 3.3.8 and am one of them   

exactly. And there is no issue in first place to complain about or look for some entity to report it to them.
Let's make it simple, the problem here is that OP did not add Thomas V to his trust network (keyring).
So, he will see the signature of the file as valid but the signer is not someone he trusts.
This is not really an issue, just add Thomas V to your trust network (if you think you will need to verify any of his apps in the future) and every thing must be OK.
