Mixero, according to the /faqs]FAQs on the website, the maximum amount that can be sent is 250 BTC, but that's 100 BTC in the image posted in OP. You should edit one of them.


Now what if I wanted for more added privacy to send you Bitcoin and receive ETH or XMR?
The same question was asked by hugeblack and it was answered. I think you missed that.

Mixero is not an exchange and that's why they are not going to add such feature.

Regarding the integration of ETH: it follows the same mechanism. We are not merely a currency exchange platform; our core functionality lies in ensuring the anonymity of your transactions, whether in BTC or ETH. Thus, there's no need for us to facilitate direct conversions between ETH and BTC.

This is definitely correct. But not a message that the seed phrase is for 2FA, but to 2FA recovery page to either enable or disable the 2FA.
Right. Electrum allows your to recover your 2FA wallet, even if you have selected "Standard wallet" in the "Create new wallet" window and after you click on "Next", you will be able to choose between keeping and disabling 2FA.

But I was referring to the message displayed below the seed phrase box after entering a 2FA seed phrase.

It's even possible that you generate a 24 word seed phrase and a single word is repeated 24 times.
Nope, that's not (realistically) possible. It would be more likely to generate someone else's seed phrase, than randomly ending up with 24 times the same word. It's just not going to happen.
You are right. That's practically impossible. That's why I said "The probability of a single word is repeated n times decreases exponentially with increase in n and that's why it's unlikely that you generate a seed phrase in which a single word is repeated 3 times, but as I said that's possible."

It's unlikely that the same word is repeated 3 times, let alone 24 times.

My point was that there is no rule preventing a word from being repeated multiple times and even if the same word is repeated 24 times, the seed phrase may be valid. Maybe, my wording wasn't good.
644  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Having Trouble With Electrum Wallet Recovery on: October 21, 2023, 09:36:49 AM
The wallet you have tried to restore   might be a 2FA type. If this is a case then restoring it just from SEED will result in getting  completely different addresses.
This is not possible.
You can't generate a standard wallet using a seed phrase that has been generated for a 2FA wallet. Once you enter a 2FA seed phrase, electrum displays a message saying that the seed type is 2FA.

Take note that any electrum's seed phrase contains a version number which makes the seed phrase generate only one type of wallet.

Why those files are in C and not in the installation folder, is very strange.
You could save the wallet file on any other location, but you didn't and the wallet file was saved in the default directory.


I restored the seed from the old hdd and it is the right one.
So, the problem is not the seed. Its the right one.
You don't have the correct seed phrase.


What are BIP39 and SLIP39 seeds? Should I try with them?
No.
Since you generated your seed phrase using electrum itself and you could create a wallet with that, it can't be BIP39 or SLIP39.
647  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: The longest (strongest) chain, chain reorgs and orphan block(s). on: October 20, 2023, 07:53:09 PM
The deactivated block(s) from the other chain are referred to as (an) orphan block(s).
Such block is called a stale block, not an orphan block.
Orphan block is something different. Orphan blocks are blocks that are rejected because they have unknown parent.


You can click here to visit the article on Bitcoin Wiki and read about the difference between orphan blocks and stale blocks.
648  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Having Trouble With Electrum Wallet Recovery on: October 20, 2023, 07:07:24 PM
But I can still try to recover some data from the old hdd.
That might help.
Any idea how?
If you still have your wallet on that HDD, you can simply copy the wallet file to your new computer.
To know your wallet file location, click here and visit electrum FAQ.

You can also export your seed phrase from the wallet and create a new wallet by importing that in your new computer.
To do so, you should click on "Wallet" at top of the window and select "Seed".
649  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Having Trouble With Electrum Wallet Recovery on: October 20, 2023, 06:34:33 PM
I don't even know what is this passphrase.
Passphrase is a combination of characters or words added to your seed phrase for extra security. If you extend your seed phrase with a passphrase, you will get completely different addresses and you will need that whenever you want to recover your wallet from seed phrase.
The passphrase is also called "13th word" or "custom words".

According to 2-b in your reply, it seems that you had no passphrase.

2-b - did not extend the seed with custom words
650  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Does BIP39 allow for the same words to be repeated more than twice in a seed? on: October 20, 2023, 03:41:07 PM
This leaves me with this question. There is a higher possibility of words being repeated in a seed phrase, or 24 words. Let's assume up to 3–4 random words are repeated to make up those 24 words. won't it make it a bit easier for such a seed phrase to easily be guessed?
Take note the the seed phrase is not generated by selecting words. For a generating a seed phrase, a random entropy is generated and that's encoded to a series of words.

If the seed phrase has been generated in the correct way, there's nothing to worry about.
The chance of a word repeating 3 or 4 times is very very low and even if that happens, there's nothing to worry about in the case the seed phrase has been generated completely randomly.

651  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Having Trouble With Electrum Wallet Recovery on: October 20, 2023, 03:29:31 PM
Let’s get back to where you restored the wallet, hope you did that correctly because electrum has two seed formats.
What do you mean by "two seed formats"? Are you talking about the script type?

In the case the seed phrase has been generated by electrum itself, its type is recognized by electrum once you enter it.
It's not possible to generate a legacy wallet from a segwit seed phrase or vice versa.

If the seed phrase has not been generated by electrum and that's BIP39, there would be three script types, not two.
652  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Does BIP39 allow for the same words to be repeated more than twice in a seed? on: October 20, 2023, 03:23:46 PM
I was just wondering if - although unlikely - it was possible for a wallet to generate a 24 word seed that contains 3 of the same word.
Yes, that's possible.
(In theory) It's even possible that you generate a 24 word seed phrase and a single word is repeated 24 times.

The probability of a single word is repeated n times decreases exponentially with increase in n and that's why it's unlikely that you generate a seed phrase in which a single word is repeated 3 times, but as I said that's possible.


This post has been edited. Thanks LoyceV for the correction.
653  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Does BIP39 allow for the same words to be repeated more than twice in a seed? on: October 20, 2023, 03:05:58 PM
Whenever you generate a BIP39 seed phrase, you actually generate a random number and your seed phrase represents that random number.

For example, if you generate a 24 word BIP39 seed phrase, the random number can be any number between 0 and 2256-1. This means that any of the words can be repeated multiple times.


The BIP39 standard doesn’t allow for any word to be repeated more than two times in a seed phrase.
This is completely wrong.

What a joke, honesty. What benefit would I have in blindly copying other's?! Fine. I'll have a post up on Reddit r/Bitcoin, where I'll feature my account here, I'll link the post. What a joke.
FbnGbz, people here are trying to help you.
Your posts have been already reported for plagiarism and there's a big possibility that they will be removed by moderators soon and you will be banned.
According to the new post you made on reddit, it's clear that you have not plagiarized anything and the posts on reddit have been made by you.


I recommend you to edit the topics you made on this forum. Add something like "I have already posted this on reddit  and I have not plagiarized .............." so that moderators are aware of that whenever they handle the reports.
655  Other / Meta / Re: "Creation of topic date" Suggestion on: October 20, 2023, 02:04:20 PM
We can't see the topic creation time, but we can sort the topics into their creation time order.

To do so, just add ";sort=first_post" at the end if the URL.
To sort topic into descending order, add "first_post;desc" at the end of URL.

For example, you can sort the topics posted in Meta into their creation time using the following URLs.

Ascending order: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0;sort=first_post
Descending order: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0;sort=first_post;desc

I hope this helps you.


These URLs don't sort the topics into their creation time, but into their last post time.
656  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: A transaction - UTXO’s, new output(s), input(s) and previous output(s). on: October 20, 2023, 01:45:14 PM
A transaction locks value (bitcoin) to an address or a script,
It may worth mentioning that there are no addresses in the protocol level.
Bitcoin addresses are used for sending and receiving fund easier. Coins are always locked using scripts.


i.e: two UTXO’s of 0.1 and 0.2 BTC respectively are poured together into one UTXO of 0.3 BTC.
0.3 BTC minus transaction fee.


How come the transaction fee increases when multiple UTXO's are used, instead of one?
The more inputs/outputs your transaction contains, the bigger size of data you have to broadcast and the more fee you have to pay miners to include your transaction in the blockchain.
657  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: What wallet would you recommend? on: October 20, 2023, 09:08:10 AM
Did you buy mining devices, or is it a type of cloud mining, or those sites that ask you to invest in mining farms and get the profits for your wallet?
I don't think OP is going to invest in (scam) cloud mining services. He/she referred to ViaBTC which is a mining pool and has probably purchased a mining machine. (Click here to read the post.)

Edit:
According to another topic made by OP, it seems that OP is going to buy an Antminer S19.
Antminer S19 95TH setup
658  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: bitcoin hash cracking help please on: October 19, 2023, 02:16:56 PM
No, I did not set the password for the wallet at that time, someone else did, and not knowing the password was not as important as it is now.
So, you have no idea about possible passphrases.
Unless the passphrase is short and it contains only a few characters, there is no way to brute-force that.

Since you say the password was set by someone else, I doubt that's yours.
Isn't the wallet owned by the person who set the password?

I mean there is a dude with 30% of the whole tickets, that one was a bit legit huge deal, and he could have still lost (and maybe someone with 30% lost in others, I do not know)
The biggest percentage of tickets that didn't lead to winning the lambo was 10.8%.
In the first round, someone with 644,523 out of 5,954,090 tickets had around 10.8% chance to win the prize, but someone with only 185 tickets and the winning chance of 0.0031% won the prize.

Once a node verify your transaction, then it becomes permanent in the bitcoin ledger.
Once a node validates a transaction, the node puts the transaction in its mempool and broadcast it to other nodes. This doesn't mean the transaction will be definitely included in the blockchain.
The transaction will go to the blockchain and will be permanently there, after a miner includes it in a block.

Take note that even a transaction has been been validated by many nodes, there is no guarantee that it will be finally confirmed.
