461  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Missing receiving address in my bitcoin wallet on: November 08, 2019, 12:23:55 AM
There was another user who had a similar problem and he discovered that it was due to remote desktop protocol (RDP) or teamviewer type programs. These let a remote computer modify his clipboard and so he was only affected when that RDP/teamviewer software was running and he copy pasted addresses. Do you use software like that?

see here for wallet restoration related issues. if this doesn't help then do answer direwolf's questions about where the seeds came from. if they were originally generated by electrum then do tell us the version of electrum or, if you don't remember, the approximate date.

Note to others: when restoring from an electrum seed you don't need to tell it what wallet type you had unless it's a multisig wallet. The seed itself contains enough information about what wallet type you are using. The OP says his addresses begin with 1 so it's a single sig wallet and besides people who create multisig wallets are not the sort to forget they did that.
463  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How to remove address from Electrum wallet on: November 07, 2019, 12:53:20 AM
As for now I have
1) "Old wallet" with 60k addresses, where are transactions that related to "green addresses" and to "red addresses", after 12 hours of synchronization Electrum  found EVERY transaction,  and ismine showing me "true" for each "red address".

2) "New wallet" where are 20 addresses and all transactions from "green addresses" are loaded. But all transactions that related to "red addresses" are not visible here.

What how I need to modify new wallet for get access to transactions that related to "red addresses"?

Other software is not solution for me, Electrum working perfect with wallets where number of addresses are under 10k, so I will use 6 wallets and will be happy.

Please help me to solve my problem with moving from "old wallet" to "new wallet".



I suggest you export all your private keys from oldwallet and import them into bitcoin core. Then wait for bitcoin core to sync the blockchain (all 200GB of it).

Bitcoin core has the blockchain locally so it can handle a large number of addresses. Electrum cannot.

You can export private keys in electrum via wallet > private keys > Export. Electrum exports private keys in the format "address scripttype:privatekey". Remove everything but the private key when importing into bitcoin core:

importprivkey privatekey "" false

When importing the last private key change that last parameter to true. More info here: https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/0.16.0/rpc/wallet/importprivkey/ and here: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/5944/5273

just make sure the time is correct on your old phone and try again.

be sure to move your coins to a new wallet like hcp said. without the seed your coins are at risk should you ever lose your phone.
466  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Do you need to backup the wallet file? on: November 02, 2019, 04:59:26 AM
It seems that backing up the wallet file would preserve contacts and labels but just wanted to make sure.

Yes that's right. You can get access to your coins if you restore from seed but you won't get access to that metadata.

Quote
Also wanted to know if not backing up the wallet file meant losing your transaction history

Depends on what you mean by this. All the transactions are recorded on the blockchain so when you restore from seed your wallet will show them all on the history tab. But labels you set will not be shown because those are only recorded in the wallet file (unless you use the label sync plugin).

There's more info about backing up your wallet here.
467  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Wrong wallet address recovered with backup mnemonic on: October 29, 2019, 04:05:00 PM
Reading the doc page may help. I assume that OP addresses were starting with 1* and now they're bc1* and then Legacy wallet has to be chosen.

OP, please move the other topic, written in Chinese letters, from the English area to the Chinese boards.

If it's an electrum seed mnemonic then you don't have to choose anything. The mnemonic itself contains all the information electrum needs to restore your wallet.

@OP here are some things you can try:

https://bitcoinelectrum.com/frequently-asked-questions/#why-does-restoring-my-wallet-from-seed-lead-to-a-different-wallet

If the above doesn't help please do answer nc50lc's question above about the original wallet that created the seed. The wallet name and version would be most helpful.

Cloud mining is rarely profitable for users. The general perception in the community is that it is a scam.
469  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Snap package on: October 28, 2019, 08:07:57 PM
an official appimage is available on electrum.org. why not use that instead?
470  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum console command on: October 28, 2019, 08:06:14 PM
malwarebytes won't know anything about linux malware. there would be no point in installing it
471  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Installation error on: October 26, 2019, 12:03:55 PM
did you run this?

Code:
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pip
472  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Installation error on: October 26, 2019, 03:09:29 AM
Did you use the instructions on the download page that are labeled " Run without installing: " or the ones under " Install with PIP: "?

It seems like you did the latter because the electrum binary is in ~/.local/bin but then there should not be a dependency issue now. Maybe try the following:

Code:
python3 -m pip install --user dns

If it doesn't work then just do a run without installation.
473  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Installation error on: October 25, 2019, 04:12:07 PM
I installed Electrum on Ubuntu 18.04 by launching the strings present at this link, but starting the program nothing happens. If at the terminal I type "sudo electrum", this is the output:
Code:
Error: No module named 'dns'. Try 'sudo python3 -m pip install <module-name>'
What should I do?

Don't do "sudo electrum" to run it. You don't run electrum as root. Just type "electrum" to run it. If that doesn't work post the output of "which electrum"
474  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: New installed Electrum 3.3.8 how verified? on: October 25, 2019, 04:08:22 PM
Generally you learn how to do things like basic file handling before you get into cryptocurrency.
475  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum console command on: October 24, 2019, 12:13:27 PM
You are guys scaring the **** out of me. I have deleted my wallet but it's seems unreal that you can infect Linux system by executing command in Electrum. Please somebody confirm or deny that it's possible.

if it's linux and you're running as an unprivileged user then at best it has access to files that that user has access to. it's still possible for it to install malware that runs when the user logs in. that malware could then snoop on your electrum seed and/or password when you enter it. so IMO it would be better to do a reinstall just to be safe. you don't want to take a risk with money involved.
476  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum console command on: October 23, 2019, 06:45:35 AM
your PC is likely compromised now since you ran a malicous program on it. you should have paid attention to the warning on the console tab. it tells you not to run random code from untrusted sources!

best to reformat, reinstall the OS and electrum and move your coins to a new wallet.
477  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Transaction sent to multiple wallets on: October 20, 2019, 01:03:15 PM
we don't have access to your wallet and since you haven't provided any info we can only guess. so post the transaction id, wallet software name and version, intended recipient's address and amount.
478  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Help to recover an Electrum Wallet on: October 16, 2019, 11:11:35 PM
does the file contain human readable json text like below?

If it's a lot of money you may want to consider a professional data recovery service. You can do a lot of damage by trying to do it on your own.
479  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Restriction Possibilities? on: October 13, 2019, 06:45:49 PM
If all the cosigners collude then they can steal your money. Being able to see the seed or not see the seed doesn't change that. Like HCP said above they could just sign a transaction to move your coins. They can also use the debug console to get to your master private key.

If you're worried that employees who have left the firm will steal from you in the future what you could do is periodically move your coins to a fresh multisig wallet.

Another option is to be one of the cosigners yourself. Even if you don't trust the others you trust yourself right?

Ultimately this is a question about internal controls in a business. Maybe study how other businesses manage money.
480  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Desktop wallet: any risk of hardware backdoor? on: October 12, 2019, 11:11:31 AM
because I wouldn't trust anything made in mainland China, but I know Taiwan exports processors to the whole world.

Almost all hardware is made in china.
