5241  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: pff priority transfers have zero confirmations after 5 hours on: February 10, 2019, 01:38:24 AM
-snip- So at 1pm CET (5 hours ago) I made 2 transfers from my blockchain wallet.
Blockchain wallet, blockchain.com? That's why.
Even if it is a priority transaction, they still have the control on the actual sat/byte of fee in every transaction.
So in many cases, the estimated/pre-configured fee isn't enough or updated so it will not be accurately "prioritized" by the system.

In situations like this, you can't really tell if Bitcoin's current mempool is the problem or their service.
And who knows if there's "something" happening under the hood.
5242  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Windows Security reports Electrum installer infected on: February 09, 2019, 03:27:09 AM
I don't know if it helps, but I just checked the official electrum setup 3.3.3 with virustotal and 5 of 67 antivirus do detect it as trojan/malware. Similar result is also for the portable version.
Hah! Scan the older versions and you'll get more false positives than that and we've been using it for years.
Obviously false-positives from those "super-aggressive" antivirus software.

Example: Electrum v3.1.3 (Windows Installer Version) https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/4f2e0b548e1a8e7b8cc37b55ef4fdc663f93d20008f5b7948ed8cfafbce9b4c9/detection

5243  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: how come electrum addresses dont work? on: February 09, 2019, 03:13:29 AM
I know that this is a little bit off-topic but...
Make sure that you're using the latest version from the official site (electrum.org) because any older version has a vulnerability on its server error report. Just look at the drama here in Electrum board.
Back to topic:
As for Bech32 addresses, you can just use it as your "storage wallet" and send small amounts to a "Hot Wallet" (standard or P2SH nested SegWit) that supports all services and sites.
Because you might be needing it for huge transactions since its inputs and outputs are almost half the "weight" of a standard transaction, means roughly half transaction fee is required compared to a same-size transaction from standard addresses.
5244  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bunq (the bank of the free) and crypto exchanges? on: February 09, 2019, 02:28:12 AM
Oh I see. I still don't understand how this has anything to do with the crypto. Or Am I missing on something?
Seems like OP Author is trying to withdraw from an Exchange to Bunq(?) via wire transfer.
By checking his post history: hashtag, thirteen of the post were questions about transferring funds from an Exchange to Bunq, N26 or TransferWise.

It's either it's a publicity stunt or a genuine research due to a red flag.

@hashtag Unfortunately, nobody in their right mind will transfer their Cryptos into a token-fueled "Bank".
I will use my own bank (Bitcoin) instead.

I don't know how @Slow death brought together.bunq.com in the discussion and I think he thought it was a crypto bank.
That's what I also got based from OP's statement: "Bunq hat coin"
5245  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Help with a transaction please on: February 09, 2019, 02:04:17 AM
I sent bitcoin to the wrong wallet, how can it be retrieved from electrum wallet?
*From Electrum wallet? Means you've sent it to the wrong wallet that you own?
If it is spendable/standard, just send it again to the correct recipient or sweep the private key to the right wallet; if it is watch-only, it's gone.

(next time, open a new thread and provide more info as described in the sticky: Tech Support Help Request Format)

- OPs' authors have rights to delete posts inside their topics. Consequently, it doesn't not make sense to quote the OP, because OP's authors are able to delete both OPs and OPs-quoted posts.
This is only true if the thread is "self-moderated" like GhostProject from your link.
A message like this will be displayed on top of the thread if it is self-moderated:

5247  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Any altcoin that this home cluster would work with? on: February 08, 2019, 06:18:53 AM
After I posted I really dug in looking and there are not many CPU coins out there.
If those were Android Tablets or Phones, you could have used Electroneum Mobile Miner to "pseudo-mine" ETN which rewards more than actual mining. I'm not sure if they still tolerate multi-clients from the same user though (KYC required).
[some laptops have "Dual-boot" function which enables them to boot as Android OS].

As for using laptop batteries, this will likely waste more power than using DC since batteries tend to convert some energy into heat in the process.
Best choice: just sell them in bulk and buy the proper hardware for the Altcoin of your choice.
5248  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin Mass Payment on: February 08, 2019, 04:26:01 AM
Use "pay to many" option in your existing Bitcoin client/wallet if it has one.

If you're using Electrum, there's a "Pay to Many" option in "Tools" menu which expands the "Pay to" input box on the "Send" tab. You will have to type/paste one address per line (address->enter->address).

Seems like I got an issue with cloudflare, I'm always getting this error in every visit:

There was an issue communicating with the captcha provider. More information may be available below.
Guess I need to use my mobile to visit later.

By the way, what are the other Bitcoin payment options other than bitpay, P2P?

In order to reach users of vulnerable versions, we have started to use the same vulnerability, and to direct them to electrum.org.
Well, that's news to me.
But still, the hacker can use the same message with a link displayed as "electrum.org" pointed to a new fake electrum URL.
If the user is still using a vulnerable version, better ignore any error message and just directly browse and download from the official site to be safe.

-edit- Or edit the context into something like: "Ignore any error messages like this and download from the usual place: electrum.org" or "Ignore any direct link from error messages (like this) and download from the usual place: electrum.org"

because virus is a software and windows is created to run softwares. But electrum is not created to show messages from server
If you think you have a better idea(s) to help ThomasV and the developers, just open a pull request or bug report on Github to discuss your proposals.
5251  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: 2 weird happening now in ELECTRUM WALLET. (calling all devs from electrum) on: February 07, 2019, 05:30:46 AM
electrum must verify itself. If do that from the first version we dont have these problems
Don't know if this is trap or a stupid suggestion.

If this will solve these problems, tell me:
How can you trust something that you don't know if you can trust to verify itself if you can really trust it?
5252  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Just checking if I am under attack on: February 07, 2019, 05:08:39 AM
Well, as long as they don't ask you to download from website other than electrum.org, they're probably a good guy.
The problem is: the famous phishing attack uses and displayed the original site on the error message too but you will be redirected to the fake electrum github page.
It's the same hacker, apparently, he must have been informed about the latest news here in the electrum board and just enabled broadcasting of txs and reconstructed his fake error message to be like "that" (you're using a vulnerable version...) since it will not be displayed as intended in the latest version.
(A clever guy, I'll give him that)

To Mods, I request a pinned message regarding an "Urgent or Mandatory" update to electrum 3.3.3.
5253  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is your new entry point? on: February 07, 2019, 04:02:33 AM
Please do not delete the opening quote tag [quote author=###] and the closing tag [/quote], you've turned most of your replies into a misleading mess.
Anyways, if day trading is what you meant by "Enter the market", any time is good as long as the Exchange of your choice has enough liquidity. The base price isn't the main profit generator here, it's the volatility, unless your starting budget is pretty low.

If it is Hodling.... uhm, yeah you should wait for a lower price, ready your fiat and be updated to the latest news in case of a possible hype.
5254  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Sincerely/Urgently need your help: How to use Bitcoin Parser? on: February 06, 2019, 06:17:14 AM
What is your goal on checking the contents of the blocks?

There are couple of sites with already parsed data:
If it was the ASCII texts embedded in the blockchain, all of them were already parsed here: https://bitcoinstrings.com/
If it was the block headers and/or transaction data (in hex or readable format), you can check them out here: https://webbtc.com/ <- however, the site isn't updated to the latest height (till 443888 only) but can be converted to HEX: ex. https://webbtc.com/block/0000000000000000000cdc0d2a9b33c2d4b34b4d4fa8920f074338d0dc1164dc.hex

I downloaded several from internet but they were not work out.
Most of those parser won't work with blocks from 477,120 (inaccurate, somewhere around blk00950.dat) to the latest.
Those are the blocks containing SegWit data.
5255  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Contest with $30,000 in GUARANTEED PRIZES now live! on: February 06, 2019, 05:11:20 AM
That's all?
I thought it was based from the increasing number of users that also increases the number of "free tickets" (from free rolls and referrals).
If it was based from bots, the overall prizes amount shouldn't be affected, they will be banned anyways; IMO, it's not related to the prizes at all.

If you look through the old results you'll see a very sharp drop in tickets after round 168 when we stopped paying out to them.
Okay, so the prizes were based from the number of "sold" tickets, not from the total number of tickets. Right?
5256  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Contest with $30,000 in GUARANTEED PRIZES now live! on: February 06, 2019, 03:51:36 AM
Is there a reason why the Lottery Winners' prizes amount became less than what it was a year ago? In contrary, the lottery ticket price was doubled (because of the current BTC price).
If I'm not mistaken, last 2017, winners number 1 & 2's prizes were at least 1.5BTC and 1.0BTC respectively; even #1 can't barely reach 1BTC even though Bitcoin's price is still at ~3k range.
5257  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Anyone Help Me Gain Access To My Wallet.dat File on: February 05, 2019, 10:04:49 AM
I lost the file with the password to access it as the password was randomly generated.
-snip-
Without the password or a hint (do not post any info regarding it), this will be like finding a needle in a haystack.

The (.txt?) file where the passphrase was however, can be recovered depending on "how you've lost it".
  • Did it get deleted? If so, you might need to use any file recovery software that can restore deleted files or formatted Disks. Some works on Flash drives as well.
  • Did the flash drive or disk where it was stored got corrupted or damaged? As long as you've created the file on a PC and moved it there, you can just try to recover the deleted copy of it from the PC where it was created with again, any recovery software. If it was directly created to the flash drive, that's a bad news.
5258  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: BCH does not reach my wallet ... why would it be ??? on: February 05, 2019, 06:03:21 AM
Based on the screenshots, if qrfs0vwk2lpykenq8t0aqgxahewdpq42myeywu9q0v is correct (double-check your Bcash Deposit address in Coinpot), then 1LEpo7Utkh8SeAUck5WrwKioVEBcQ86ET8 is the correct legacy format and the Tx that went through should be credited to your Coinpot account since they've already received it.

There's one problem though, the fact that Faucethub doesn't support "q" addresses might be a hint that they support and use BitcoinTrash SV fork rather than BitcoinTrash ABC which was supported by Coinpot.

I'm not completely sure but the only thing you can do is to contact Coinpot regarding the issue and hope for a reply (fingers crossed).
However, the chance to recover the funds is slim given that it was sent by faucethub (another micro-wallet) not from your "own" wallet.
By the way, looks like coinpot's BCH deposit is still disabled ATM.
5259  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22] on: February 05, 2019, 05:00:55 AM
-snip- my GTX 1060 3 GB searches through ~40Mkey/sec.
What is the Operating System that you're using?
It's usually 30~ish Mkey/sec for me on a 1060 (Windows7 SP2 updated with drivers).

@martinadoulet The question is how long you're willing to wait for the result; talking about processing power, even a Core2Duo™ is enough to make a personalized 4-1st-characters vanitygen address within an hour or less if you're lucky. And that's way below the power consumption of an AC.
5260  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Deep cold storage on: February 05, 2019, 04:12:16 AM
[Didn't watched the Video]
I got a feeling that he's talking about "Brain Wallet", if it is, there's a huge risk in security here.
If it's not, he might just wanted to know more about what's blockchain under the hood.

(a) transfer funds to keys that have not even been initiated? Don't you need a wallet to generate that for you?
In addition to what others said, in simple words:
[a] You can receive funds in any address anytime as long as you have its Private key pair even without a wallet or internet. All you need is a piece of paper and a pen.
Addresses which are based from Pub keys aren't "initiated" in order to be valid. Even if it is not yet used, every address is valid as long as it was correctly derived from a valid Public key which is derived from the Private key (wallets do this automatically but it's possible to compute manually).
