Well, ViaBTC does have a paid service, I just tried it on your transaction. It would cost you ~120 USD. I don't see why you would want to pay that for the amount you're transacting though, you're better off waiting.

I couldn't submit it to ViaBTC accelerator due to the transaction size, but I can see that you're using RBF so you should be able to increase the fees. Which wallet are you using?

Also, which service are you sending the funds to? Some services may not process your transaction once you bump its fees.

Update: So apparently there has been some progress in the last few months. You can read these articles[1][2] that came out a couple of days ago.

@RobinLinus Any GitHub links we can look into? and I'm also interested in knowing the ETA of this.

That amount is nothing compared to what Binance is actually holding (on behalf of its customers). I don't see anything worrying about them moving some funds to their cold storage wallets. I would also imagine that's something done on a regular basis for security reasons.

I wouldn't recommend Trust wallet for storing large amount either but to be fair to them, the vulnerability mentioned in the article is apparently related to their open-source library (Wallet core):

https://github.com/trustwallet/wallet-core

As mentioned above, Trezor is open-source. AFAIK, the hardware, firmware, and software all are. For altcoins, and someone who's into Dapps etc. you probably won't find much use of their software (Trezor suite) because it doesn't support any of that, but you can always link it to MetaMask (which is also open source).

I have been trying to import a seedphrase to Coinbase wallet but to no avail. I keep getting the same error "Something went wrong" although I'm sure that the seedphrase is correct. The phrase belongs to Trustwallet, but that shouldn't be an issue since both use BIP39. Has anyone been facing the same problem lately?

So after Canada[1], it looks like Bybit is suspending its operation in the UK as well[2]. Starting next month, UK citizens will be able to neither make new accounts, nor deposit funds if they already have an account. For withdrawals, they have until the 8th of January 2024.

Have you tried reaching out to them over the phone? I can see they have EU, U.S, and UK/Global numbers on their contact page. It might be better to discuss with them that way, rather than sending an email and waiting for a response.

Requests expiry doesn't mean anything. If you're sure of the address, the funds will show whether the request has expired or not as you have full control of the receiving address.

But if the address you gave him or in your Electrum address, is different than the one you can see on the blockexplorer, then he might have sent to the wrong address.

The message you posted looks like an automated answer, doesn't it? Where does it say it's a technical issue though? And have you tried submitting other tickets since that message?

This is sadly a common issue with exchanges sometimes. There isn't much you can do, the support team is the only one who can help you and I doubt it's a technical issue, it's probably something to do with your account (suspicious activity, more KYC to do, etc.)

Do you have the slightest idea about the complexity of the password? Like at its length, whether you used digits, special characters, etc.? If so, then you might be able to recover the funds.

Which services did you reach out to by the way? This one[1] is trustworthy. I dealt with him before, but make sure to do your own research first.

I haven't tried the steps you mentioned but from my understanding of this, you won't be able to use these addresses anywhere else but in ShapeShift? Meaning that if I were to open my MetaMask, I wouldn't be able to send, receive, or generate addresses for those chains? If so, then I don't see much advantage here compared to let's say a wallet like OKX which also supports these chains.

Some good news for those who have their funds stuck[1], you should be able to withdraw your funds starting tomorrow (21th September, 8:00 UTC). Make sure to not use any of your previous deposit addresses if you're planning to continue to use the exchange, because they won't be credited to your account.

Regarding OneKey's card. It looks like it's not available for everyone yet. I just made an account and set a 2FA but then on the "account activation" page (where apparently you have to submit your documents), it says that I need an invitation code to continue.

Not sure where the wallet files are exactly located in MAC, but I would imagine it should work if you just change the file's name from default_wallet to whatever you want. There is no need to add or edit any extension.

EDIT:


You should find a wallet folder here which contains the wallet files. If you're scared you might corrupt the file (although I don't see how), just make sure your seedphrase is safe, or take a backup of your wallet first.

According to this article[1] (see the screenshot) you should have that option when you're writing the new wallet's name. Tap that, and then you can type the passphrase you want to extend the phrase with. I would imagine that the process for the hardware wallet is more or less the same.

As mentioned above. It's blockchain analytics companies. They usually make the first tweet because they monitor addresses and can detect unusual/suspicious activity. And we've seen the same thing happening with Stake: https://twitter.com/peckshield/status/1698697721342042621

Now obviously, I'm pretty sure that the exchanges are notified when they get unauthorized access to their hot wallets but I would imagine they can't just go ahead and tweet about it. They need to analyze the situation and write a proper official statement.

It's SafePal that I think is not worth it. It's closed source (at least the old version of it) and has a very bad user experience, probably the worst I have ever seen. I find that the need to scan QR codes constantly is quite annoying as well.

If you decide to go with it, I know it supports BIP39 (like pretty much every other wallet out there), but I'm just not sure if you can add a passphrase to it like you intend to do.

I bought a SafePal some time ago, and I don't think it's worth the money (and it was even cheaper back then). Not sure about the latest one that just came out: https://www.safepal.com/en/store/x1


Also, I'm not sure I understand what is "bip39 password" you're referring to here. Is it the extended words that you can add to your seedphrase? If so then Trezor has that: https://trezor.io/learn/a/passphrases-and-hidden-wallets
