Your friend probably fetched that idea from the internet where facts can turn into rumors.
Mechanical disks like HDDs are the ones that's better off running 24/7 than periodically shutting down and turning on, not Capacitors.
Heat is the major risk to your rig's capacitors' life, so turning them off during a hot climate or low/improper ventilating condition is better than running them 24/7.
Under good room temperature and proper voltages, there's no point on shutting it down to maximize your profit, just don't forget to do a maintenance.

What do you mean "deanonymize"?
Bitcoin was designed to be (pseudo)anonymous, the services that was build around/above it (like exchanges and payment services) were the ones that're not anonymous.
If you want to stay anonymous, use a bitcoin core wallet or a alternative 3rd-party wallet (ex. Electrum) and stay away from other kinds of services that require KYC.

Why do you think that it's a good to ask such a question here in the Dev&TD Board? Got to Speculation and Read threads there. You may move this thread there if you want to. ( I'm sure this will get deleted anyways) |

I had a backup of Electrum on an external hard drive, so I copied the Electrum folder and replaced the one on my PC with this, but it still didn't work.
Why doesn't your backup work? Do you get any error message? Or does it create an 'empty' wallet ? Most likely, he has a backup of the " Electrum Folder" not the Electrum appdata folder.
@ OP, what are the contents of your electrum backup? cache, certs, forks and wallet folders together with 4 differently named files? |

Hi, I started a full node 20 minutes ago. I forwarded port 8333 tcp and the download is very fast. After 20 minutes I was at block 135100
I download around 300 blocks per second is this normal with a 400Mb/s Down and 40Mbs Up connection ?
That's not surprising considering your fast internet bandwidth unless, your PC got some bottlenecks like Low Ram and Slow Disk I/O which can potentially slow it down by half to quarter. If you're using a SSD, you might wanna move the data.dir to a Hard Disk since it looks like a waste of space for a premium storage. |

The idea of spending Bitcoins for a coffee everywhere is too far fetched in this Country-divided world. Even LN isn't designed to conveniently use in those scenarios. In order to come up to that point, Bitcoin should be legally accepted by almost all Governments using any centralized payment processors that they " trust", and it's not in favor of the majority. However, based on the current events, Bitcoin is going strong as a Decentralized currency that can be used to trade not-so-small goods unlike pancakes and coffees.
Also, this doesn't look like a Technical Discussion. |

Whatever I do, I can't change the fee. It has been stuck for 24 hours now, way too far from the top and will probably stay like that until I figure something out.
If the OP is a bit clearer, we can be more accurate on resolving your issue, but: Could be an " unbroadcasted" transaction that you've saved instead of broadcast ( if the "logo" isn't a green check, it's only a locally saved tx). If this is the case, just delete that history and your bitcoins will return as balance since the transaction didn't went through at all. |

The problem is, if you didn't sign a message before your account was hacked, you won't be able to get it back.
The address doesn't have to be signed, as long as it wasn't recently posted and unedited, he can use it as a stake address. The problem is, if he does have an unedited post containing that address. |

I think it's possible after you update your upgrade to the latest version you're doing. So causing damage to your wallet. Try going back to your original version. I think you should read the previous replies, I think, in order to see if the issue was already resolved or not. I think  #ITHINK#ITHINKISATRENDINGPHRASEFORSPAMMERS |

I'm pretty sure that this claim is just pure marketing.Nothing is 100% unhackable.I'm actually curious if the 1 year warranty means a warranty that the wallet never gets hacked or a warranty for the device like warranty of phones/computers etc..
If it wasn't McAeat-himself, I would have believed it. That guy has been using his social-media celebrity status as a Marketing tool for ICOs and crytocurrency-related stuffs, yeah right, who wouldn't. |

If the executable was lost or deleted, the data including the wallet must still be intact in the default location as long as it is not a portable (removable disk) version.
Just install or open another (Stand-alone version) Electrum wallet and it should open to the default location which is your %appdata% directory.
Or just browse to this location: (Windows Disk)C:\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\Roaming\Electrum (hidden by default)
Then look for wallet_1 / default_wallet or your wallet's name (that should be your wallet).

- BITMAIN made a premine with the new created BTM chain.
Uh not that I'm depending Shitmain but, while the current events suggest that this might be true, there isn't any strong evidence that supports this claim. I'm sure you will waste your time on filing a case against a Chinese company where almost all knock-offs came from and can get away with " They aren't the same". B3s however, was advertised as it is and you got the actual product, nothing seems to be wrong unless all of the evidences are strong. I'll just leave it here : Haha wow, not only is Bitmain pumping out ASICs for every algorithm out there, they are now also CREATING coins that they can sell ASICs to in the future.

Using Windows? If yes, create a shortcut from the Bitcoin-qt.exe then add -datadir=(your preferred location) to the target file. Example: "C:\Users\(username)\Desktop\bitcoin-qt.exe" -datadir=E:\BitcoinData Then use that shortcut to access bitcoin-qt with the new data directory. |

So, this thread suddenly became " which has the superior mnemonic phrase" thread?  My question is: what happens if something goes wrong with Electrum, what if they close down or just disappear for whatever reason and switch their servers off, what happens to my BTC then? Can I restore on another wallet using the Electrum seed?
No it can't be restored to other bitcoin wallets, but... Don't worry, Electrum has a great number of userbase, if the developers somewhat ( unlikely) abandon the repo and delete all the related source codes, [1] someone else will create an open-source recovery software, I bet. And Bitcoins aren't stored in Electrum's servers or your hard drive, it was recorded by all of the nodes. As long as you have the mnemonic phrase, lost most of the backups like wallet files private keys, etc., there's still a good chance to recover your private keys from the SEED alone even without the actual Electrum source code because repeat [1].
TL:DR: It's incompatible to other wallets. |
|
|

I might have to downgrade a bit if there's no other solution.
Downgrading your Electrum wont help, his 0.15 link points out to Bitcoin's repository URL which means that every node that runs a v0.15 client wont relay any 0 byte fee transactions. |

I hope I'm not messing anything up by posting this on here but -snip-
Anyone can get to that link by browsing the site, what's the difference? It's privacy matters, now that you've posted it, address 1GH729nVR5w6SKfwmUCPyvFfbVCQ1s7XJD is now known as user kzj32jaka of bitcointalk's bitcoin address. That's it. In addition, Info that you shouldn't share: MNEMONIC ( SEED) Phrase, Private Keys, the wallet file, Master Private Key ( xprv) and your wallet(s) passphrase.
I downloaded was Electrum 2.6.4 does it require me to update to the 3.1?
Yes, you really need to update your Electrum. Your Electrum was totally outdated, even an earlier versions like 2.8 may find it hard to sync to any server. Just make sure to download from the official site which is https://electrum.org/#download |

I am talked with support they cant help. I try to login with my first and second password after i entered both they redirecting me to main page without allow me wallet update. Does anyone with big reputation could try to login and check ?
Whoa, what took you so long to reply to this thread? Based on this, I assume you still know your 17-word mnemonic case, right? I think they just stole money from inactive account because i cant acces my wallet and i cant recover it because i have 17 mnemonic words but not 12. 17 mnemonic words they generate at 2013-2014 year.
First, do not send your seed to anyone including in PMs. Secondly, nope, they didn't. They just stopped supporting the old wallet source code since April2016 and shifted to the current one which had broken the backward-compatibility but.... blockchain.info has provided a link where those old wallets can be recovered, here it is: https://blockchain.info/wallet/forgot-passwordThat's not totally " forget password" as the link stated, it can also recover legacy mnemonic phrases. Lastly, I got a handful of responses received with the same issues and their answers from google-search. |

Same issue as mentioned bu the OP: users will not easily distinguish real vs "fake" links (i.e: I always have a hand pointer over the whole image there is a real link or not).
Not at all, when users try to click the empty link, there will be no response. But if they click on the right spot, they will be redirected to the correct url. Now the different links work as intended. But yes, the cursor will always indicate that there's a link. What he meant by that in the OP is, he enclosed the whole image in a [url][url] tag making the whole post linked to a single url. This: I tried to put link around whole picture - in this case alignment is ok, but now whole picture is a link, or it acts as link, and users don't really distinguish which are real links and which are "fake".
< Edit> Never mind, I realized that it was slightly the same with Tryninja's reply.
< Update> How about, make use of acronym tags to display a " hover info" to the real links whenever the mouse points to it. Example: ( Point your mouse pointer to any link) Code ( for the whole ANN thread): Double-check everything for typos especially the links [iurl=#][img]https://vps-city.com/alloybtc_talk/H1.jpg[/img][/iurl]

I have an option above details saying copy id on clipboard is this the TXID you want me to get for you?
This should be the the Tx ID, paste it here so we can check it in blockexplorers ourselves. Take note: it's safe to share the TXID, it's just like a receipt of an ATM machine ( privacy-related, not security). or just the underlined part of the blockexplorer link or the url itself:  You may include your Electrum's version and the site where you'd downloaded it. |
