Where did you download your Electrum? There is no such thing as 4.0v as the latest version is 3.3.4. If you downloaded it from anywhere aside from the link I provided or the GitHub repository, then your coins are lost forever.

If you're that worried about your funds (which you should) then a hardware wallet (Trezor) is more suitable for you and you could use it everywhere as long as you have a browser.

Binance and Bittrex are probably the most reputable I would say.

I'm not sure about Binance but Bittrex probably won't let you withdraw your funds until you verify your ID, so keep that in mind.

I haven't tried the exchange yet but from what I have seen (UI/UX, trading volume, features, etc.) it does that they took decentralized exchange to another level. Could the people who already used the exchange give us their reviews? (Preferably from Trezor users)

Peer to peer trading is probably the cheapest as you'll be avoiding third-party fees (the exchange). How cheap can it be will depend on the payment method you're going to use.

The only place you should download the wallet from is Electrum.org don't take it from anywhere else.

As for your problem, I had a similar issue, and for me, it was (or so I think) Windows 10 update. Read what people suggested: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5130553.0;topicseen

Electrum and Coinomi (not recommended as they are not open source) both gives you addresses that start with bc1. For block explorer's, you have BTC.com and Blockonomics.

The blockexplorer support bc1 addresses but the wallet don't fully support it. You can send to bc1 addresses but not generate any.

A video to give people a deeper understanding of how hackers crack passwords: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiRPt4vrSSw

As for your suggestion to use Avast, I think it's safer and more secure to use something open source like KeePass to both generate and store passwords.

The list above should have it all. I wouldn't suggest Virwox and Bitcoin ATMs because the fees will be so high. There is no best really, as it's a matter of preferences (UI/UX, fees, verification time, etc.) but I would recommend going with Coinmama or Coinbase as they are very reputable. Alternatively, trade with individuals in P2P platforms but that comes with risks (reversible payment methods).

How come the funds are no longer in escrow If the transaction hasn't been completed yet? Open a dispute (scroll down), it should end in your favor If he's not being responsive.

Just gave it a try, like every multi crypto wallet, it's pretty basic when it comes to the settings.


They'll probably be using zigzag's API because they already have an exchange for that purpose. If you check Bluewallet's website, you'll see that the feature is coming soon:

We have a list of bounty managers (or at least some of them). There is "no best" as it's a matter of preferences, so, I would suggest you check their portoflio's.

Read google Adsense policy to know If crypto websites are accepted or not.

Regardless of the answer though, I wouldn't suggest using them. If you are interested in crypto, you probably want to be paid using bitcoin and also, you don't want your users to see irrelevant ads. Check this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1108616.0 (It's far from being updated though but gives you an idea of what you should look for).

Bitcoin is not a company. Bitcoin.com is.

Unlike PayPal and other payment methods, bitcoin is irreversible, contacting the wallet provider you used won't help you sadly as your coins are probably sent elsewhere already.

I'm not sure about the details and where you got scammed, but maybe you could make a thread in the scam accusation section to make people aware of the service/person who scammed you.

Exodus is not open source so you don't really know what's happening behind the scenes and If you're planning to use their exchange, they are using ShapeShift and Changelly as the third party, I think there might be a possibility where you could be asked for an ID there.

TrueUSD is an Ethereum-based token, I would suggest you make a new wallet in Myetherwallet and print it with the private keys and then send your TrueUSD there.

In order to get the TrueUSD, you'll need to use an exchange, I don't think Binance or HitBtc ask for ID. If they do or you don't want to signup for any exchange, you could always ask someone to do this for you on the services section for a 5$ bounty for example, just make sure it's someone trusted.

الق نظرة على منصات P2P مثل Paxul او Locabitcoins. يمكنك حتى الدفع عن طريق vodafone و orange الخ.. لكن احذر من النصب لانك تتعامل مع أشخاص و ليس شركات
يمكن الاطلاع على هذا  المقال لكن من أعتقد أن الموقع غير فعال.

I'm using Windows 10 and not 7 and at the time of the error, I did have updates waiting to be installed from Windows. After rebooting the computer and having the updates installed, the error is no longer showing.

They are not scammers but it's far from being a transparent service, that's why I stopped using them and I would suggest for everyone to do the same.

Go to the section you want to make a new topic on, and look to the top right.
