Zero value transfer? Do you mean a transaction sending 0 BTC? That's not possible at all.
It is totally possible. As long as you're spending less or equal of what you own, it is valid.
Consensus rules allow creating an output worth less than the dust limit and you are right. I said that's not possible because such transaction would be non-standard and would be rejected by nodes.

Thanks for your correction. I edited my previous post, so that it's more accurate.

Aside even running a full node if it is too large to keep the entire blockchain you can simply run a prune node and specify the amount of size you want it to occupy. Prune nodes is same as full node in terms of privacy
If you run a prune node, you can check only your own transactions and if you import a new address, you have to redownload the blockchain.
If the purpose is to check any transaction without relying on third parties, a prune node wouldn't be helpful and you would have to run a full node.

You can't make a bitcoin transaction creating outputs worth less than the dust limit.
The dust limit is 546 satoshi for legacy addresses and 294 satoshi for native segwit addresses.

Edit:
A transaction creating an output worth less than the dust limit is valid, but that's not standard and would be rejected by nodes.
Thanks BlackHatCoiner for the correction.

Hello, when I make a transaction, sending or receiving, is it recomended to check if it's valid on the blockchain?
As I ready said by others, there are many block explorers that can be used to check if a transaction is valid.

Just take note that being valid is not enough and you should never accept an unconfirmed transaction. It's possible that a transaction is now valid now but unconfirmed and becomes invalid after a while.

But the good thing is Viawallet provides private keys that can be used to import in electrum like wallet and make new transactions with the fee required at that time once nodes drop this transaction from mempool.
Many nodes have already dropped OP's transaction from their mempool.
At the time I am writing this post, according to mempool.space, the purging fee rate is 15 sat/vbyte. This means that any transaction with the fee rate of less than 15 sat/vbyte is purged from mempool of any node with default mempool size.
446  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: My BTC transaction has been pending for 26days on: December 05, 2023, 06:54:30 PM
No exp using Viawallet. But cant you just increase the TX fee in the wallet you using? Many wallets have a option like that and the wallet I using got it.
OP's transaction has not been flagged as RBF which means that's not supported by ViaWallet and there shouldn't be any option to increase the fee in the wallet.

Of course, as I said in my previous post, there are many nodes that have dropped OP's transaction from their mempool and should accept a new transaction with the same inputs. 
447  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: My BTC transaction has been pending for 26days on: December 05, 2023, 04:27:39 PM
The fee rate used for your transaction is below the purging fee rate for any node with default mempool size. Therefore, there are many nodes that don't have your transaction in their mempool now.

Import your wallet to electrum. There's a change you don't see your unconfirmed transaction and you can make a new one.
If you see your transaction in electrum, try connecting to different servers until you find a one that doesn't have your transaction. Once you connect to a node that doesn't have your transaction, your transaction status will change to local and you can remove it from your wallet using right-click menu and then make a new one.

Download electrum only from its official website.

I had that in mind, but didn't consider mentioning it because my guess is that the most popular wallets most of us use and those that are being recommended on this forum, would have the option to allow users to spend unconfirmed outputs.
You are right.

Perhaps you can tell us if you are aware of any non-custodial wallets with coin control where it isn't possible to spend unconfirmed outputs?
I don't know.
I think any wallet that supports coin control should allow spending unconfirmed coins and that's why in my previous post I said your statement is true. 

My point was that if you can spend unconfirmed coins, you can do CPFP manually without coin control.
449  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin transactions - are we living in stone age? :( on: December 04, 2023, 01:01:54 AM
lol what?? Yes that is nonsense you are right haha. Average tx fee right now is like $3 or $4, not $197. Not sure where you got those numbers from.
The ID of the transaction OP is talking about has been already posted in this thread and you could check that to see if he/she is right.
What caused the transaction fee to be that high has been also explained, but unfortunately you don't read the replies.
450  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin transaction time reduce in future? on: December 04, 2023, 12:35:20 AM
Bitcoin block size is limited to 1 MB with only can confirmed limited transaction. )
The block size can be bigger than 1 MB. The maximum limit is 1 vMB or 4 million weight units.


What is possible now is to change the address measure such as native segwit which reduces the size of transactions.
With using segwit addresses, you decrease the virtual size of the transaction and the weight units.
Take note that with using segwit addresses instead of legacy addresses, your transaction size wouldn't change significantly and it's even possible that you increase the transaction size.
451  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin transactions - are we living in stone age? :( on: December 03, 2023, 08:59:22 PM
Seems absurd for a BTC transaction to pay nearly 10 percent, were you using a Bitcoin ATM?
Transaction fee doesn't depend on the amount you send. So it's not a percentage of the amount.
The transaction OP is talking about includes 53 multi-signature inputs and that's why the fee was that high.


Please provide more insight on what this transaction TX is so somebody can check and potentially even give you some advice on how to lower the fee.
You could know more details about the transaction, if you had read previous posts before making a new reply.
452  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin transactions - are we living in stone age? :( on: December 03, 2023, 07:44:44 PM
How in the world did that happen? What kind of platform were you using to make this transaction?
Please read previous posts before making a new reply.


The current Bitcoin average transaction fee as of Dec. 2 is only $5.76:
As you said, that chart is displaying the average transaction fee.
Depending on number of inputs and outputs and addresses types, the total fee required to be paid for a transaction can be different.
453  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin transactions - are we living in stone age? :( on: December 03, 2023, 07:11:33 PM
I am sure you agree that paying such high fees is not realistic and that can't continue. So any tips on how to reduce the fees by consolidating the inputs will help a lot of people.
That's simple.
Make a transaction sending all your coins to your own address when fees are low.

Take note that the more inputs/outputs your transaction includes, the more fee you have to pay.
Assume that you have received bitcoin in 50 different transactions. Now you have 50 UTXOs and if you want to spend your fund, your transaction would include 50 inputs.
If you make a transaction sending all these 50 inputs to your own address when the fees are low, you can decrease number of your UTXOs to 1 with a low cost.

The transaction I linked to above could be made with around 4.5 dollars worth of bitcoin around 40 days ago.
If the sender had consolidated the inputs in that time, he/she wouldn't have to pay fee for a transaction including 53 inputs today.

I think the topic created by LoyceV should be very helpful to you.
[Nov 2023] Fees are high, wait for opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs


The other mistake made by the sender was that he/she didn't use coin control.
Although the sender hadn't consolidated the inputs before, the transaction could be made with much lower fee. The sender didn't have to use all those 53 coins and the transaction could be made using less inputs.
454  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Nano X Wallet Types ? on: December 03, 2023, 06:11:50 PM
Successfully received. Now, the wallet address in Ledger has changed.
is it normal ?
With a reusing an address, you may harm your privacy and that's why your wallet generated a new address for you. Many wallets do the same thing.


what should happen i send more coins to the old wallet address ?
You will receive the fund.
Take note that your wallet contains numerous addresses. They are all backed up by your seed phrase and they are all owned by you.
455  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin transactions - are we living in stone age? :( on: December 03, 2023, 05:40:31 PM
A transaction that paid $197 this time is just the sender's fault, because bitcoin transaction fee is not as high as this. Or maybe the person's transaction has too many inputs or outputs.
Both.
The sender paid high fee due to his/her own mistake and the big number of inputs.


OP is probably talking about the following transaction.
4fd93ab96fcdf44c08b2ff64501279341dd052fbb61e515c904e6b7df063c87d

The transaction includes 53 inputs and all of them are multi-sig.


Anyone who made this transaction could pay much lower fee if he/she had consolidated the inputs before.
The second mistake made by the sender is that he/she didn't use coin control. The transaction includes 2 outputs and one of them is probably the change. The sender could make the transaction with less inputs.
456  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Transactions stuck in mempool with Sparrow on: December 03, 2023, 04:31:54 PM
As mentioned above by Charles-Tim, you should avoid the website in question. That's a scam.
If you have unconfirmed transaction, that's due to the low fee and nothing else.


Are you the sender or the receiver?
How much is the fee used for your transaction?

If you are the sender and you are in a hurry, you can bump the fee.
If you are the receiver and you in a hurry, you can do CPFP.
457  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Uncomfirmed Transaction on: December 03, 2023, 03:01:00 PM
But if you have a non-custodial wallet with coin control and you are the recipient of the unconfirmed transaction, you can bump its fees by creating a new transaction from the unconfirmed coins and pay enough to incentivize miners to include both the parent and child transactions in a block.
This is true, but just to be more accurate:
To be able to do CPFP manually, what matters is your (non-custodial) wallet allowing to spend unconfirmed outputs.

In the case the wallet allows you to spend unconfirmed outputs, you can create a CPFP tranaction manually by spending the total balance even if the wallet doesn't support coin-control.
458  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: The best passphrase on: December 03, 2023, 02:47:26 PM
Combining all the possible printable characters from the ASCII table(93 in total) wil give the following entropy (in bits):
There are 95 printable ASCII characters.

Code:
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~
(whitespace is also included)


Ps. I am not sure whether all these 93 characters can be used but if I recall correctly they can, I am just busy at the moment and I can't check online. If someone could confirm this please
All 95 printable ASCII characters can be used for a passphrase.

Here is a screenshot taken from electrum.

459  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Pending transaction.. on: December 02, 2023, 09:21:19 AM
Can I import the seed phrase on to Electrum to use the this method, child-pay-for-parent? 
Yes.

Also, on mempool.space it shows the fee rate at 44.2 sat/vB and effective fee rate 18.2 sat/vB, what does that mean and how much should i set the fee on Electrum?
Your transaction should have unconfirmed parent(s) and that's why it hasn't been confirmed yet.

The fee rate you should set for your CPFP transaction depends on the fee already paid for your unconfirmed transaction and its unconfirmed parent(s) and their (virtual) size.
460  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: creating 2of2 multisig wallet on: December 02, 2023, 08:14:52 AM
To add to nc50lc's reply:

Electrum uses a different derivation path when generating the master public key from the seed phrase for multi-sig wallets.
This means that although the seed phrases you have for your multi-signature wallet are the same as your standard wallets, the master public keys would be different.



Is it possible to create another set of addresses with an existing pair of seeds?
If the seed phrases have been generated by electrum, no. Electrum uses a fixed derivation path and doesn't allow you to change that.
If they are BIP39, yes. You can change the derivation path a generate a completely different wallet.
