If a person does not have the realization that he has lost a lot and lost everything. Then the saturation point that makes a gambler decide to go from gambling, because every thing must meet the saturation point.
That's why everyone will say don't addict to gambling, once you addict to it there won't be any limits for losing. You need to control yourself while gambling otherwise you will end up with no money. Then it is time to give up gambling. Some people can never beat the gambling addiction because they have strong genetics to prone to end up as heavy addicts with absolute no self control at all. Those people need to be put into professional help and possibly use medication. Once the medication makes effect, you can start removing it slowly. But real addicts can never ever gamble again, they aren't capable of gambling for fun sporadically. Yeah, it definitely seems that gambling addiction or addictions in general can be genetic. I wonder how much of the addictions are genetic versus acquired through circumstances or setting that we put ourselves in though. It definitely is a lot easier for someone with an addictive personality to get tripped up on gambling though. |

Yeah, we need more miners rather than more full nodes I think to help make the network stronger. But miners require significant investments so most folks won't be setting up new miners even though its needed.

That is pretty cool, but I was winning for so long until now xD
Why types of messages was WikiLeaks sending via transactions like this by the way?

Waiting for the first GPU vanity address miner.
What do you mean waiting for it? You can already do it. Just use oclvanitygen that comes with vanitygen and you can already mine addresses with a GPU  |

However, there really is no reason to do this unless some of the unconfirmed transactions are using low fees or something.
That is actually the reason, if somebody send coins to an address with very low fee, he will condemn the whole balance. And Coins Tab does not tell you which address has confirmed BTC and which one doesn't. Yeah, you can also spend from the Addresses tab as well. You could copy one of the addresses you wish to spend from and look it up on an online block explorer to see if it has any unconfirmed inputs. This is probably the best way at the moment. A nice feature addition, might be to show an unconfirmed icon in the Coins tab if an input is still unconfirmed |

Is there any way to send only confirmed coins from an Electrum wallet and exclude unconfirmed / pending coins ?
I am aware of the Coins Tab where I can select the addresses, but it does not tell me which one has confirmed transactions and which one don't.
Thank you.
No I don't think there is any such option. You will manually have to spend from the Coins tab with transactions you know are confirmed if you want to achieve this. However, there really is no reason to do this unless some of the unconfirmed transactions are using low fees or something. Otherwise they should confirm around the same time if good sized fees were used. |

Land of the free.
Laughable if it wasnt so sad.
All the 3 letter agencies have to finance their operations somehow, so they are going where the money are. Bitcoiners are supposed to be rich, so they're a perfect target. Just pick one of the traders, charge them with something, like said money transmitting (which is a complete bullshit, since bitcoin is officially not a currency) and confiscate their computers to steal the coins. This is nothing but theft, because there's actually no law that these people are breaking. They don't need a license to transmit money, because they are selling a commodity. Klein faces as many as five years in prison and $250,000 in fines. They don't care about prison, it's those 250k they're after. $250,000 in fines for selling 98 bitcoins. That sounds way too steep for me. What we need is some clarification from government agencies on what is acceptable and what is not in the Bitcoin world. That is not forthcoming. Wow that is indeed a huge fine and it is even more than the value of the 98 bitcoins. Pretty crazy they are starting to go after localbitcoin users now in stings like this. |

using a secure password manager app either on desktop or mobile can be helpful. that way you just have to remember ONE master password.
there are loads out there that are either free or have very low fees.
also you should always backup with two factor authentification!
Yep, password managers are definitely the way to go. KeePass is a great free option if someone is looking for one. You should never reuse passwords and password managers are the way to achieve that. |

OP please read about change on the bitcoin wiki: https://en.bitcoin.it/ChangePut simply transactions often have change that has to be sent back to your wallet. For privacy purposes it is better to use separate change addresses. You should leave this option checked. If you leave it unchecked change will be sent back to the address where the input coins came from. What that page doesn't tell is how there is a conflict with change and network fees.. First think new users are going to do is try and combine change with other change for other transactions.. I can't think of any conflicts. You will lose privacy if you combine multiple change outputs into a single transaction though. Is that what you are referring to? |

No daily chest bonus available now?
Looks like it's been broken today. Wondering about that myself. It's been two days since the treasure chest's missing from my browser and as I saw on the chat room, most people got the same problem too. Wish Alex will fix it soon! Yeah it hasn't been working for quite a few people but hopefully gets fixed pretty soon. This issue was fixed today by the way so everyone should be able to claim their daily chest again now. |

That transaction has very low fee of only 27.15 sat/B . Based on your screenshot, you are running an outdated version of Electrum. Please update to the latest version and ensure that Dynamic Fees are enabled which will help ensure that good sized fees are used in the future. For this transactions you will likely just have to wait for it to confirm. If you used ViaBTC and were able to get them to accelerate the transactions, it should definitely speed up the confirmation but you will likely still need to wait several hours for ViaBTC to find a block. |

It looks like your transaction is now confirmed. I strongly recommend you double check that you are running the latest version of Electrum and that Dynamic Fees is enabled to help ensure that accurate sized fees are being used in the future. This will help prevent issues such as this from occurring and will help your transactions confirm quickly.

Your fees are still way too low. The double spend warning is normal, Blockchain hasn't remove your transaction from their blockexplorer and hence that warning is normal. You currently have two options. 1. Wait for it to be mined or contact another miner for help. 2. Remove the transaction from your Electrum manually and try to send another transaction which spends that UXTO. For 2, follow the steps here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1728921.msg17301306#msg17301306. Do it at your own peril, always make a backup. I don't have remove the transaction from my Electrum manually option as my Electrum V 2.5.4 and there is no such this option. the transaction was confirmed today.Thank you for your help You should update Electrum as version 2.5.4 is quite old and the newest version includes a lot of bug fixes and features that address fees a bit better. I definitely recommend you upgrade and ensure that Dynamic Fees are enabled for the best experience. |

As a side note, I wouldn't recommend using a website such as that to generate vanity addresses. You should use sites that support private key parts so that another party doesn't have your entire private key. I'd recommend http://vanitypool.appspot.com/ instead for creating vanity addresses. |

Hello everyone. As the title says, im having problems with a transaction. Spend the past two hours digging through solutions but nothing seems to work.
I use Electrum which marks the transaction with an attention mark and says low fee. Tried CPFP but it fails. When i input a reasonable fee, it says "Max Fee Exceeded" (while i have more balance in my wallet).
If i put a fee within the range Electrum accepts it, it gives me a 64:dust error.
Transaction seems to have been dropped from blockchain since it's already a couple days old but i uploaded it again manually.
Changing servers doesn't work.
Deleting the wallet and retrieving it through seed doesn't work.
A few other methods i can't recall, still didn't work.
Sorry if the text is hastily written but im starting to get frustrated with this thing.
Transaction ID
7c6fae0f73ecdd45eecd0571a742b62f2469a5dbb3b1107d0f42bc6cc596fe67
Thanks...
Make sure you are on the latest version of Electrum and enable Dynamic Fees in the options to help ensure accurate sized fees are being used. Transaction 7c6fae0f73ecdd45eecd0571a742b62f2469a5dbb3b1107d0f42bc6cc596fe67 doesn't appear to exist as it looks to have already been doublespent. Did you respend the inputs already? Edit: looks like you respent them in 47834f495cc7c9d766b197548b1cb8198ffcf265a34345d8dc5d99fccdd02ef1 but used a low fee again. You can try respending them again and setting a proper sized fee or you may want to try pushing this transaction through ViaBTC Accelerator ( https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ ) . They are currently over submissions so you would need to wait for the next hour. |

I have problem with BitDice, i can login but can't bet  can you tell to me why ? Thanks Which version of the bot are you using (version number please)? Do you see your balance after logged in? Does it show any error message at the bottom of the screen after you try to bet? I use new version dicebot 3.3.3 I dont see anything after success login No  It looks like bitdice has made some updates again that broke the bot. I'll have to look into it. Did you ever have a chance to look into why the bot wasn't working on BitDice? Seen several users report issues with it. |

Yeah, the fee is likely too low. I recommend using the Dynamic Fees option in Electrum to ensure accurate sized fees. Be that you are also running the latest version which includes fixes to how fees are handled.
You may wish to try pushing the transaction through with ViaBTC Accelerator to help speed of the confirmation.
Alright, thanks! I tried the ViaBTC Accelerator to speed things up, but the "Submissions are beyond limit." right now. How long will it take if there's no speedup? They only allow so many submissions every hour. Try again at the beginning of the hour in order to get your transaction included. It is difficult to say how long it will take without any speed ups. Could be anywhere from a day to several days. |

Hi, I sent some bc via Electrum like 2 hours ago, but nothing happened so far. Image of the transaction: http://i.epvpimg.com/2Dw8gab.png (the [img) thing doesn't work somehow) So the amount itself is at the top and the fee for the payment at the bottom. Is the fee just too low? I just used the 0.0005 BTC / kB fee How long will it probably take to finish? Thanks in advance. Yeah, the fee is likely too low. I recommend using the Dynamic Fees option in Electrum to ensure accurate sized fees. Be sure that you are also running the latest version which includes fixes to how fees are handled.

My favorite is Electrum. It is a light wallet so you don't need to download the entire blockchain and it also has good fee estimation with their Dynamic Fee option which takes the guesswork out of adding good sized fees.
