I'm sorry, I mistook your post as a "stopped synchronizing" post.

I did a quick research and I think it has something to do with SegWit (August 24, 2017).
Also, I have checked the blocks included in blk00971.dat & I've noticed that the timestamps range from last week of August to Mid September 2017.
And blk00975.dat's blocks are from September 2017, one month after SegWit (BIP144) activation.

SegWit input/output scripts structure is a lot different than the regular transaction's.

That "parser" doesn't support and cannot read SegWit Txs.
Disclaimer: I could be wrong.

It will be useful for you in case of a verification is needed.

The block cluster must be corrupted due to some reasons.
Try to delete blk0097X.dat from the default data directory then re-sync your node.
For Windows, open file explorer/my computer and browse to: C:\Users\"UserName"\Appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin

I would like to clear one thing: Electrum isn't hodling your bitcoins, it holds the private keys to control the bitcoins (inputs) that technically belongs to you.
Bitcoins are recorded (stored) in the Blockchain.

Yes, you are. But it will troublesome for him to copy-paste->enter each of the addresses.

The easier way is to open it using Electrum (it's too easy to download and install/open)
Display the address tab and find the addresses with balance, those are the addresses that should be checked on blockexplorer site.
Or use pooyah's link.

Ouch ok, so it must be an inside job or a sophisticated hacking incident and the attacker must have stolen more than customer's emails and contacts.
Otherwise, the "other guy" was right.

The first statement suggests that the hacker(s) didn't just fetched the emails but also Bitmain's admin accounts (and administration rights?) as well.

This is more serious than I thought.

Bitmain's domain isn't "bitmaintech", plain sight obvious.

Making a non "@gmail/@yahoo" email is quite simple. Ex. I have an email account trashcan@randomace.tk where the spam goes.
And the hacker just bought a domain that sounds like the original, then he made an email account using that domain.

Example: bitmain.com, the hacker bought bitmaintech.com then he created webmaster@bitmaintech.com as the fake administrator email account to scam noobs.

Yes a Peer-to-peer decentralized digital currency was a great idea to be able to trade "everything" wordwide.
That's why "Satoshi's" "small project" became this big.
My guess is: Satoshi didn't expect this to be famous in just a short time, Bitcoin grew beyond his control that developing it with himself exposed was "too scary" for him.

Whoa whoa, I take it as an insult to Einstein and the media, that's rude.
But really, "genius" is a state of mind and Einstein had lost it, stubbornly implied his theories even though he was not sure of it himself.
He even died without completing a "materialistic" reasoning to the theory of everything.

Speaking of frauds and Thieves, ask the one who "discovered" the DNA double Helix.

There's only one man that I know who's a Stable Genius: Donald Trump, Einstein and Satoshi are idiotic sometimes.

ROFL, zoom it out, that's too close.
It's Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies, not Stockmarket or Forex Exchange.

You've missed the real dip!

You mean Blockexplorer sites?
Bitcoin Cash's Bitcoin.com has its own BCH Block explorer, here's the link: https://explorer.bitcoin.com/bch

Also, you might wanna move this to Altcoin Section due to some "political issues" and this was really misplaced here. Moved

-Edit-

Additional Site(s):

• https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/blocks
• https://blockdozer.com/ (select BCH)
• https://bch.btc.com/

Those aren't regular scratches,
looks like the refurbisher needed to reapply some lubricant by pricking the thin plastic cap using a thin pointed metal.

You can't base the fan motor's temperature  to the room temp,
It was also exposed to the case's internal temperature and the motor itself will produce additional heat.

Even if it is possible on protocol level, the majority will surely be against this kind of feature due to some dangerous exploits.
But it's not possible, just a "what-if" example.

From my understanding, what OP meant was a script to select or flag all the output's addresses and the corresponding amounts to be able to use them as "contacts" and locally saved in case of a "return-transaction" (just a regular transaction) is needed.
This is possible to implement on 3rd-party wallets or the Bitcoin wallet GUI if you can back it up.

Unless.... the trading price drops to "mining unprofitable" value until the Pool operators themselves came up with an idea to earn "extra profits" by doctoring the next blocks.
As discussed in other threads, achieving more than 51% of the total hashrate isn't too far-fetched if two or more of the current mining pools merge together.
So if bitcoin's value became obsolete, this kind of possibility may happen...
Not saying that mining operators will revolt against Bitcoin but based on the statement: "How strong is Bitcoin against 51% attack".

The whole idea can't be based on the mining equipment/operation cost at all, but the whole setup including the price.
With the current setup, we are not that safe if a resourceful adversary plans it well, given that the Bitcoin trading price drops to an alarming value.

I mean, the last April-May issues and news with reports of pornographic images and illegal trade-related messages embedded in the blockchain.
Whereas those are stored as chunks of 40bytes of data using a specialized app to puzzle the image/text together.
(Such sophistication for a simple thing)
That must be an indirect attack by adversaries and I have only mentioned it as a possibility.

And... we're getting off-topic.

It's been 3 days and it is still unspent, most exchanges consolidate their deposit addresses' inputs daily (or weekly).
Looks like you've sent your bitcoins to the wrong address.

Could be a fake clone site, was this your first time using Dream Market? If yes, double check the URL.

"Confirmed" means that the transaction was included in a block, and I think "246 confirmations" mean that it's already 246-blocks deep (behind) from the newly generated block.

Nope, as the name said, "test"net is a different network mainly for testing purposes.

The purpose of the Meta Data in blockcypher is for bookmark or extra information to the displayed transaction,
but nothing was stored in the blockchain as I mentioned above.

pooya's 2nd post must be a reply to my post, and my 1st reply was mostly based on this:
I assume that it is for verification that you're the one who sent the transaction, so I suggested to send a link url of a blockexplorer with MetaData feature to the receiver.
In addition, you can sign a message to the input addresses as an alternative.
Otherwise, OP_Return can't be casually used in those scenarios.

Another Entry based from the previous non-circle entries that I've submitted (snipped quote as link):

Unique and it looks good when scaled down to "coin size".
Already joined the Telegram group (Contest manager can request for my username).

A piece of advice: when mining, stop targeting the "cheap" coins which doesn't have what it takes to x2 or even x10 in the price.
You can easily buy them since they are cheap then hodl, same results.

What you want are those newly launched mineable coins which has a difficulty that wasn't already too high.
With a "normal" PC, the only option you got are the cheap old cryptonight coins but the algo had just exploited by ASICs.
Monero did a countermeasure, but you can't earn a considerable amount of XMR with that, try ETN but not now, wait until the "bad blocks" were mined.

Now, using those links above that they've given and with the help of google search, look for newly released or to be released CryptonightV7 coins.
Any new/under-development Monero (repo) fork will do.

This rings a bell, the past illegal contents in the blockchain issue can be linked to that "OP_Return" function.
I don't know how it works but based on your statement, it is possible to insert "something" in to the blockchain.

pooya87 was right, including a "description" wont increase the total Transaction size.

You can send a link to the receiver a blockexplorer which supports Meta Data addition like blockcypher.
The Data will be stored to their site's server, not the blockchain. The problem is, anyone can add their own MetaData to that tx as well.
Like this link for example (scroll to the bottom to view): Transaction with Meta Data.

P.S: There's a link below the page which said "You can also embed data into the Bitcoin blockchain" which I suspect that is "OP_Return", anyone can confirm this?

Whoa, thanks a lot! Another page worthy of a bookmark.
I'm going to draw something like an evolutionary chart based on that (updated version) if I got the time and "motivation", because it's really a nice idea.

I've expected that there's a lot of past (repository) forks but, I didn't expect that there's already 667 forks in total just from start to Sept 2015.
Add today's shitforks and we will get 19,384 as displayed in Github, minus the "unadvertised" forks: ±3000, maybe?

Weird, Electrum doesn't use .dat wallet format, it's just plain file name like wallet_1 or wallet_default.

Could it be, that you've made another encrypted wallet and Electrum automatically selects the previously used wallet in every run.
Have you tried to look for another wallet file in the default location using "Open" in the menu or "Choose..." in the passphrase window?
Or browse to (for Windows): C(your Windows disk):\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\wallets directly and look for multiple wallets.
