Each of the transactions that you received counts as one.
Also when you send, if there's an excess amount from the input used, it'll be sent to one of your unused 'change address',
thus funded a change address that haven't used to receive bitcoin but technically it's funded via that send transaction as another output. Your referring to the change address under the Addresses tab of Electrum? Who created the change addresses? There's quite a few of them there already. Note under under send tab there are 3 in credit. Not sure why one has 2 and the other 3.
If the transaction has no change ( input's amount is enough for the output and fee), it wont leave a coin to your change address. [/quote]By input you mean what? Are you trying to say any excess money left over when I send/receive is sent to the change address column under the Addresses tab? I still am not clear on how to go about create new addresses that I can send btc from within Electrum. Can this be done? i read everything it's not clear to me. |

Isn't the Google captcha meant to thwart someone stealing your account.
I think only the people doing good business together here would need to worry about that.

You can search in my post history You have 600 pages of posts that's why I asked before. The search got me nothing relevant I am not going to post links for any service again because I don't feel comfortable enough sharing them, so dyor. What is making you uncomfortable? |

...I am reluctant to go through KYC once again.
Reluctance stems from? |

I am not wrong about this, and I already posted several alternatives that I used personally.
Do you have link to your alternatives post? I searched but couldn't find yours. |

Create new addresses and receive bitcoins to each of them.
"Loaded address" aren't created then how did they get there? and your balance aren't distributed among your addresses in your wallet;
Your loaded addresses are the ones that already received bitcoins.
To understand the (missed) explanations in the first page, you should refer to your 'Coins' tab (View->Show Coins) instead of 'Address' tab because
it represents "unspent transaction outputs" which are the outputs of the transactions that you've received, each are specifically tied to the address that is derived from it.
Those are what you're spending. I see 4 under send tab>Outgoing payments 3 have credit 1 is unpaid because I decided not to use that, should I delete that? Given that, if your "address" haven't received bitcoins yet, it cannot be used for sending. Under addresses tab, I see 2 there in credit, of those one is green (recieving) the other a different color (change). Note under under send tab there are 3 in credit. Not sure why one has 2 and the other 3. If you want more UTXO to spend, you can use " Send tab->Settings icon->Pay to many" ( instructions) and " coin control" to send a large UTXO from your coins tab to multiple addresses of your wallet. That'll create more small UTXO from your larger UTXO but I can't see how you'll benefit with that in terms of privacy since it'll be visible in the blockchain like any other transaction. |

There was a forum thread in the Service Discussion forum, posted by Ratimov, where he lists all crypto virtual card providers.
You can check his forum thread.
I used forum search and typed in 'virtual card" and user: Ratimov and got no results. Other results present Ratimov as deceptive.
I posted a link to a card that has a limit of max $1000 and should be valid for 3 years - I'm surprised that no one read my post and clicked on the link, which by the way is a forum link (ANN thread). I don't see that link here? |

Does it have to be non-KYC? If so, then as far as I know there are none that you could link to your PayPal account. Also, if by "setting up paypal" you mean "verifying it" it needs to be a Visa. A MasterCard is not going to cut it.
You can't payone until you verify (Paypal)? And verifying means photo id etc usual? Then we can exclude paypal from topic. |

Can you recommend reliable virtual credit card (no KYC) for paying bills and just to throw it out there maybe even considering setting up paypal only if I have to. No KYC.

Under the tab named 'addresses' I see something like this many times over some with zero balances:
Type Address Label Balance Tx
receiving xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .0008000 1
change xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0.000536 1
...
I see many more addresses with nothing in them under the addresses tab in Electrum, these don't offer you the option 'Spend From' when you right click them with mouse, the only ones that did were had money in them. That's totally normal. You can't spend from an empty address that's why the "Spend from" option does not appear when you right click on it. You can only spend from a loaded address(es). How do I create more loaded addresses so I can have a vast variety to send/spend from? |

First of all note that what matters is the fee rate (in sat/vbyte), not the total value of the fee you paid.
Miners prioritize transactions based on their fee rate. The more fee rate you use for your transaction, the faster it can be confirmed.
Miners can include up to 1 vMB of transaction in each block. Since the block space is limited, every time they mine a block, they include the transactions with highest fee rates to maximize their profit and it doesn't matter when they have received a transaction.
If you made a transaction 1 week ago with the fee rate of 50 sat/vbyte and that's still unconfirmed, your transaction has lower priority than a transaction with 51 sat/vbyte even if the 51 sat/vbyte transaction has been made a few seconds ago. Is there any chance a $100 bill you need to pay can cost you another $100 in fee rate even if your not in a rush? Do we just leave the default fee slider as it when you are paying the bill? |

You can at any time send from any or all addresses you have funds into.
You can choose the sources using "spend from" (for addresses) or coin control (for specific inputs, so even more specific). I use r-click/spend from, from addresses tab, which I recommend you make visible so you'll understand better what you are doing.
Even more, I recommend you play a little with Electrum on Testnet (so with free dummy coins) so you can see for yourself much better and then come with more specific questions.
For example, if you have the option of five receiving addresses, it means you can send funds to these five addresses. Why would you need five different sending addresses while the five receiving addresses are acting as sending addresses too? I hope you understand my point now or not. If you want to send funds to another wallet that has five different receiving wallets, you have the option to use those five receipt (deposit) addresses to send funds, which means you have the option to choose from five sending addresses indirectly.
Under the tab named 'addresses' I see something like this many times over some with zero balances: Type Address Label Balance Tx receiving xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .0008000 1 change xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0.000536 1 You can only use the 'Spend From' under the Addresses tab of Electrum if you have money in it's balance. Right click on mouse to get 'Spend From'. I see many more addresses with nothing in them under the addresses tab in Electrum, these don't offer you the option 'Spend From' when you right click them with mouse, the only ones that did were had money in them. I see some 2's under Tx, I am not sure what that means. I am not sure what it means by 'Type change'. I see that this is highlighted in green 'coin control active" and a reset button. How do I reverse what I just did? To get more addresses to send from you would need to receive more first i.e. click the generate 'New Address' button then go to tab called Addresses and right click and scroll down to Spend From, select that, and now you have a new address to send btc to others. How much privacy does this give you? |

This means if you have 5 multiple receiving addresses then use them and they will act as your 5 sending addresses. Each time you create a new recieving address you automatically are allowed to use that to send to? How do I tell it which one I want to use to send if I have 5? Or you are planning to create multiple wallets within the same wallet and trying to send funds from one wallet to another or what? in both case I think this is what you are trying to explain.
Can that be done? |

I don’t understand what you mean by creating new address but to use coin control you don’t need to
I want to see more addresses there, how do I create them in that spot. |
|
|
|
...why not just go to the usual route of using the regular trading platforms?
Would that usual route align with my privacy leanings? |

Where in preferences is the coin control for that? I already know how to to do for receive let’s focus on sending. Use changed address is already checked blue.
If you can find the coins tab then go to views and then click on coins. If you want to use that specific UTXO then select add to coin control and then it will be added, you add as many UTXO as you want. This are the UTXOs that will be use for sending only. If you want to freeze some UTXOs so that you won’t use them for future transaction you can simply click on Freeze coin to freeze that UTXO or freeze address to freeze all UTXOs on that address. Use this guide to understand it https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-spend-specific-utxos-in-electrum/Thanks, I see two address there under coins tab, i read the link but not clear how to create new address so they appear under coin tab |

You don’t send an address you send UTXOs which are on your received address, so basically those receiving addresses are also your sending address. You can chose which one to send from and which one not to send from. This is what coin control is all about, if you want to specifically send from a particular address you use coin control to send from it and if you don’t want any UTXOs coming out from a particular address maybe because you don’t want them to mix up with some of the others then you freeze that particular address you don’t want to send out from
Where in preferences is the coin control for that? I already know how to to do for receive but not for sending. Use changed address is already checked blue in Electrum preferences. |

"privacy coins" are definitely different from Bitcoin, although I can't tell you how private their transactions actually are, because I honestly haven't studied how hard or easy it is to track those transactions. However, given that the authorities are quite hostile towards such cryptocurrencies and that most centralized crypto exchanges have removed them, it is quite clear that they want to discourage people from using them. It wouldn't make sense for someone with malicious intentions to use mixers when they could go the privacy coin route? I guess they have a hard time accessing privacy coins since the bans so their business goes to the mixers? Agencies got one hole got plugged now perhaps they will try to plug the other (mixers)? |

In the statement released by the FBI or whoever it was when the most recent mixer was shut down they said something like "Mixers are not illegal". This means using mixers is not illegal. I managed to find a link for that: https://news.bitcoin.com/report-claims-fbi-bitcoin-mixers-btc-forfeiture-processing/It appears the FBI said they would prefer to have mixers illegal. the FBI, the United States Department of Justice (DoJ), and FinCEN have said that the use of bitcoin mixers should be criminalized How common is it to see FBI/DOJ complain? It's the same thing with using the Internet.
You're boldly using the Internet and nobody has come knocking at your door simply because you use the internet, but if you use the internet for illegal activities, somebody might come knocking.
Good comparison
It's all part of the agenda to undermine personal freedom and privacy. Even this forum will ban anyone promoting mixers. It'll be a dark future for the whole crypto/Blockchain industry  What is the primary reason for banning mixers on here?
... more important question may be whether you can use your bitcoins after you have used the mixer, could there be a situation where certain services will not accept such coins because they came from the mixer? If they reject the payment, how would you get it refunded if its gone thru the mixer? How does the person rejecting the payment because it came from mixer, send the money back to you? |

Can you recommend an established vps that accepts monero or zcash?
