5401  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Sent funds to coinbase Aug9th and have not yet received them...HELP on: September 02, 2018, 06:27:08 AM
How else would deposit #1 find its way into my coinbase account?
Still didn't get it after all of our previous replies?
Okay, I'll break it down in a list:

  • First open a blockexplorer where 12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj's history was listed: here Open in a new Tab
  • Secondly, from the bottom of the page, transaction afc314f97ab2e02076c4ceba0c2d8493b840b23570b97b2a60fcf5cf57fca9ae is your 1st tx which have inputs from Kraken's addresses to different outputs including 0.09481172 BTC to 12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj.
    But this tx wasn't credited by coinbase since it isn't their address.
  • Next, transaction 17fa98a77b8ce4dc91bd9569f4663687922344f223b9979dbb54a31996b11beb the 0.094BTC was quickly sent by the user or malware program to 36ii5gNkZw2vAZ8TVk9dYXtVVbJxk68hiE which belongs to your coinbase account (we can confirm this by looking at the image you've provided)
    And this is why the first transaction made it through your coinbase account.

The Second transaction's funds however, is still being held by 12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj: f1c52f3edd8fcb8277013b7654bcba48a1c3559bddd6ff305a95491210d6fde0
5402  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum hacked on: September 02, 2018, 05:14:34 AM
It was a new seed and I did have a file on my pc with my private key. Do you think they would have found it?
I'm afraid that this must be the case.
Once your PC got compromised, there's no stopping the hacker from getting that file.
Leaving a backup inside the same machine where the wallet was is a total security risk.
5403  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum hacked on: September 02, 2018, 04:11:33 AM
When you created that wallet, was it a "new seed", an imported seed from somewhere else or imported private key(s)?

-snip-
The issue was that other sites were using requests fro JSON files to draw out seeds and master private keys instead...
Depends if he still uses the vulnerable versions of Electrum, but password-protected wallets were still safe from being hacked (Read link).

Possibly, your Seed or private keys backups were compromised in July or earlier months, did you have a backup stored somewhere?
5404  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: mistake request adress on: September 01, 2018, 10:32:33 AM
I'm 80% sure that this is another case of "Bitcoin Generator Scams" that usually appears on faucets and malicious sites.

It comes with an interface that looks like sophisticated command line and showing the user that he generated the amount of bitcoins that he has chosen, others are just straightforward "You win 0.5/1BTC from site.com" message.
Then, it will ask the user a to send a small amount (0.005BTC) as a processing fee before it can be sent to him.

@meysam2018 Where did you get this message that "You've won 0.5BTC from bitcoin.org?"

FYI, Bitcoin.org is crowdfunded and it never did any giveaway contests or whatsoever,
and Bitcoin is decentralized, there's no central authority that governs or manages the transactions.

and (lol) here's the most accurate translation:
Hi users bit talk
i buy 0.005 bitcoins from selling site
i ween 0.5 bitcoins from bitcoin.org and i must paid fee of transaction for give cash rize
so bitcoins are sent to it .and big mistake ....
i given the adress of bitcoin  that provides by bitcoin.org
please help me
how i can telling with bitcoin.org support?
thnks
Hi users of Bitcointalk
I bought 0.005bitcoins from a site that sells Bitcoins because
I've won 0.5bitcoins from bitcoin.org and I must pay a fee as a transaction fee in order them to give me the price
So the bitcoins were sent, and it was a big mistake...
I've given the bitcoin address that was provided by bitcoins.org
please help me
How can I contact bitcoin.org's customer support?

Not sure this helps, but if the address you used(12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj) was a one-time address from coinbase. Then coinbase would have the would have the private key to address (12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj), depending on their program, they should be able to sweep it again into your account.
Coinbase does change its addresses in every deposit "request" but all of the old addresses were still connected to your account.
Read this: Why did my wallet address change?
I think I got a hint on this.
-snip-
BTW, Only OLD Coinbase addresses starts with "1"
Can you help me out with this? I am not sure what to do
I'll be honest with you, my "hint" was you might be a victim of a malware or a scam as my previous reply (2nd page) stated.

The transaction was made last August9 but check if either of your iPhone or PC is infected with a malware like HCP mentioned.
  • 1. In your iPhone, copy an address from your Coinbase app, remember at least the 1st and last 3 digits, then paste it in any text box like Messages or Searchbox.
  • If the pasted add is the same, you're not infected with a clipboard hijacking virus/malware or it's not active ATM.
  • 2. In your PC, do the same, copy an address from coinbase and paste in in a text file.
  • If any of it changed, that must be the cause of this.

That's to clarify the scenario, not to recover your funds.

Appreciate the help...the address was generated from coinbase app...I have no other answer as to where is came from. How can I get my funds?
Does that app's addresses list reflects the address of your coinbase account?
Or is it the official app: Android / IOS?

Unless you got the control (Private Key or the wallet where it belongs) over the address 12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj, your coins were lost/stolen.

Because, it looks like the owner of that address just passed the first deposit 'cause it's a "petty steal" and to make you believe that the transaction went through without a problem, then, just left the "profitable" balance for the next "mixing".

My Two-cents here is that you're a victim of a scam/malware, or try to open your mobile app if it still have that address in the list.

This would require the coinbase app to be compromised, right?
I suspect that 12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj doesn't belong to coinbase (as their CS said)

BOB I did use the official app...what is confusing is how one transaction makes it into my coinbase wallet and the second transaction did not. I am royally screwed if I can't figure this out...greatly appreciate your help
My previous reply partly explains it:
Quote from: nc50lc
After 12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj received the first transaction (0.09481172 BTC) you/he sent it immediately to 36ii5gNkZw2vAZ8TVk9dYXtVVbJxk68hiE (based on the image) which belongs to your Coinbase account that surely reflects as balance.
-edit-
Bob got the same idea, I'm pretty sure.
5408  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Sent funds to coinbase Aug9th and have not yet received them...HELP on: August 31, 2018, 12:54:24 PM
I think I got a hint on this.
Because the transactions and your statement can be linked in a "scenario".

But before that, just a list of possibilities:
  • Those SegWit addresses (inputs from [f1c52f3edd8]&[afc314f97a] tx) belong to Kraken which are the two withdrawals that you've made.
  • After 12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj received the first transaction (0.09481172 BTC) you/he sent it immediately to 36ii5gNkZw2vAZ8TVk9dYXtVVbJxk68hiE which belongs to your Coinbase account that surely reflects as balance.
  • Now that you're convinced that it is "legit" you've sent the actual amount that you want to move to coinbase (0.62574 BTC) to 12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj again.

The real question is: where did you get this address: 12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj?

BTW, Only OLD Coinbase addresses starts with "1"

Could you elaborate on this? I get the maintenance part, but more efficient mining? how so?
All I'm saying is, do not diversify your ASIC miners, focus on one algorithm.
That way, you'll get a higher hashrate to get more of that particular coin than buying different ASICs to mine other coins which could lead to loss that will be deducted to the total profit of all of your miners.
You only have to research intensively on the coin/algorithm of your choice.

If you want to diversify your assets, use the profits or part of the remaining funds to buy them (not so different with buying them using the initial funds but you got the hardware for your "investors" to see).

This all because you're already at the halfway or quarter of your plan.
If you can cancel all of it and do the usual buy-n-hodl, that's a good decision too; as I said in the first reply: It's up to you.
5410  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Sent funds to coinbase Aug9th and have not yet received them...HELP on: August 31, 2018, 03:23:01 AM
I have all the picture proof of the transaction on Kraken showing both sent to same wallet....coinbase keeps telling me that the wallet is not a coinbase wallet.
Can you tell us the address where you've sent your Bitcoins from Kraken exchange?
Or link the (edited/censored) image for us to view.

The problem could be in coinbase's system detection as Thirdspace mentioned, but you've already contacted them regarding this.
Just need to re-enumerate your statement.
Since most exchanges are batching withdrawals, there might be an error in coinbase's side due to the huge number of inputs exchange withdrawals usually has.
Or there's really a typo in the second transaction's address.

We'll never be able to give some insights unless you can provide more information.

But what about this?:
I am almost done setting up the place with airflow, security, network and the works.

What to buy?
I am thinking I will start off with:

2 x Antminer Z9
1 x Innosilicon A9 (would focus more on these if it wasn't for all the bad things i read about Innosilicon)
1 x Pangolin Whatsminer DCR (november is a long time away though)
5 x Whatsminer M 10.

Which is about 25k USD give or take.
If you're going for ASICs, do not buy multiple brands and models, research for the one that has the highest profitability but not the ones that targets any "CPU-mining" & newly developed (including suspicious) algorithms .

The advantages of that are easier maintenance and "more efficient mining" of the coin of your choice.
That way, it will be easier to reach the capital return and even ROI in a shorter period of time, the other way around IMO have more disadvantages.
But if you want to expand and add diversity, your original plan (Add GPU Miners) can still be applied.

Today's a risky season for miners, it's up to you.

Unfortunately, this is not the case.
The output will be 15GzCaKf9Bd5DEvJpLnStzt4aL2QDBuTwW for Compressed and 1GY6bTT89Vw4DAzKsJ43g2CoDzDpE8JxKx for Uncompressed.


Again, you can clearly see same bytes, so addresses are definitely related.
Indeed and also, when you click the HASH 160 link of the SegWit Address format from a blockexplorer that didn't support SegWit like blockchain.com,
it will redirect you to address: 1s2iywx94HudryMHsU2g1K9x8DB1cahGc.

In my opinion, it was the pool's fault why it was sent to that address.

Your funds may be recoverable, try Abdussamad's tool.
5413  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: HELP : insight_bitcoin_tx_78ef on: August 29, 2018, 07:10:53 AM

Yes it is, "insight_bitcoin_tx_78ef...." is for bitcoin transactions.
Copy the characters between "tx_" and ".json" (just like the underlined part above) and paste in on any blockexplorers to view that particular tx's information like inputs, outputs and the amount of Bitcoins transacted.

Quote from: cyberclub
i mean i can recover my BTC or not ?
No, using that cache, you can't.

Since you're using Electrum on Windows, try to look for the wallet files inside the electrum data folder:
C:\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\wallets [Hidden by default]

But I highly doubt it since yours is more likely connected to a hardware wallet (trezor).
I can't help you any further.
5414  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: HELP : insight_bitcoin_tx_78ef on: August 29, 2018, 06:39:27 AM
I have recover my hard drive and i have this JSON file this repertory :

C:\Program Files\Electrum\trezorlib\tests\txcache

is it a last bitcoin transaction, i remember to have done some BTC purchase last few years but i am not able to recovery my coins, can you inform me about this? how can i do ?
That's just a cache of a transaction which has no (recovery-related) information.
Just the raw tx or hex format of it depending on the client.

Like for example based on your given example (insight_bitcoin_tx_78ef....):
insight_bitcoin_tx_f782432c15e7656dd8c5b3f3832273f2a116ef374222373f6bbb59a63753d3d6.json

The underlined part is the transaction id of the particular cache.
5415  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: rent power hashing / how???? on: August 29, 2018, 06:06:04 AM
What you are referring to is commonly known as cloud mining. The only ones profiting from cloud mining are the companies providing the hashrate. The only way to profitably mine is by physically setting up a mining operation yourself, with hardware you own, infrastructure you can use and cheap electricity.
I just need to clarify this, Nicehash isn't a cloudmining service.

It is sorta mining Pool but like a broker, instead of using the collected hashrate to mine an algorithm, they are selling them to anyone who needs it.
Unlike cloudmining, the sold hashpower didn't came from them, it came from collective hashing power from small-time miners who are "selling" their hashrate which is legitimate but unfortunately, not profitable at the moment.

@saooesnamax Read my first reply (#3). I already explained to you why it isn't a good idea.
5416  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: A new consensus that promises high levels of security (PoH) on: August 28, 2018, 09:36:05 AM
I agree on your points. However, in PoW hasing power is concentrating to 1-2 maximum 3 mining pools so in my opinion this dosn't make them "honest" 100%. Of course, there is a possibility to do a fork if they attack the chain, but wouldn't that affect the reputation of the PoW consensus?
I have checked the link and the "POH Explainer Video" but nothing's really explained but the possible positive effects of using their newly developed "just nodes coin".
Noticeably, they allotted more time explaining the downside of POW coins like Bitcoins than explaining their system.
Just like the quoted reply.

Not to mention, Proof of Honesty is the worst name for a system that was built for security.

Is there a better resource where "Proof of Honesty" was better explained?
Please provide some links.
5417  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: dumpprivkey on Bitcoin-Qt, shows different addresses in Electrum, what can I do? on: August 28, 2018, 07:30:17 AM
You must change the derivation path depending on the address type.
In your case, those are more likely p2wpkh-p2sh SegWit Addresses.
However, by restoring using only the private keys, you will need to tell the client to restore the SegWit addresses from those prv keys .

Try this:
Restore them using Electrum by adding "p2wpkh-p2sh:" in front each of the private keys, like this:
Code:
p2wpkh-p2sh:L49YrnZPvfptpaV6ad1pw55fTBz2gdJLSzgZjYrgSyLkCQaPdZer
p2wpkh-p2sh:Kxk4dYpsLghVeTBccCNsSb5iq9ULczFjCKB3kEhrWFKFeTY9dT5w

then hit next, next.

-Edit-
I've tried and the correct addresses: 3JP77cLUwuwY6Rw16CZZRmZ7eDHKHQQcZA & 3KBtWR5zGsGWrPxfRx6HyG7CnpqssaftdA were restored.
5418  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Segwit and decoderawtransaction on: August 28, 2018, 06:50:25 AM
BTW: I will use this to check the number transactions containing Segwit data vs number of transactions without Segwit data in a block.
In that case, start from block cluster (blk.dat files) blk00971.dat onwards.
Check for the dates, since SegWit was started on August 24, 2017, you might save some time by skipping the older blocks.  Wink

Bitcoin core will not even double the block size to 2 mb
SegWit already quadrupled the maximum block size to 4 MB. Your argument is invalid.
Exactly!

And as an addition, we can also squeeze more inputs and outputs in a single transaction using SegWit addresses.

Quite anti-Mining? Caring too much about the price? (uhhh, I'm guilty too)
Bitcoin hasn't been paying miners to process transactions, they simply mine what's profitable.
This isn't the only SHA-256 coin out there, and the total hashrate won't affect the number of transactions per minute, just the network security.
Quitting miners: not much of a problem considering on how Bitcoin was designed.

The one who got a recipe of failure are Bitmain and ASIC Manufacturers, but they are currently bathing in profits for now.

The center of your attention based on your assessment should be: Bitcoin with low Network hashrate will be much more easier to attack with easy to access hardwares if/after most of the miners quit.
