I want to create a BTC address on Electrum where it never expires and several incoming transactions can arrive in the future on the same address.
Addresses do not expire. You can reuse them as many times as you want. The expiry date does not affect anything; it's supposed to help you organise your payment requests. |

when i tried to bump the fee, the app is still suggesting that a transaction of 2 sats/byte would be 0.5 MB from the tip
I don't think there is anything wrong here. It looks like 2 sat/byte was enough in the last three hours to get a transaction confirmed in the next block ( source - look at the third graph). There was a small spike for a few minutes, but your transaction definitely was not over 13 MB from the tip. Edit: Ah, now I can see your problem. I have just tried creating a watch-only wallet with some random address which has just sent a transaction. Someone paid over a 86 sat/byte fee and Electrum shows that the transaction is over 11 MB from the tip. There's clearly something wrong with Electrum. |

Will the accounts/transactions revert to default names, or will I encounter problems reading my accounts?
Yes, the accounts and addresses will revert to their default names; the transactions won't be labelled at all. There will be no other problems. Does that mean you can point to a file anywhere on your computer or on a cloud service to use the labels?
No. Trezor saves label data to "Apps/TREZOR" folder which you can backup at any time and that backup can be only restored to Dropbox. Trezor is currently working on Trezor Suite which allows to use either Dropbox or local storage. I have tried using my label data from their web interface in the Trezor Suite, but it didn't work. Apparently, they are not cross-compatible so keep that in mind. |

Hmmm maybe that is it, I'm trying to do 0.00146mBTC I believe, about $30 I think... But yeah I am a newb so perhaps I'm stuffing up the conversion (mBTC Vs BTC)... I'll check this afternoon and try again, thanks all, very helpful!  0.00146 mBTC is 0.00000146 BTC or 146 satoshis. It looks like you have confused mBTC with BTC. As far as I remember, Electrum displays mBTC by default. You can change it in the settings ("Tools -> Preferences -> Base unit"). |

Trezor doesn't have an official Android App if I am not mistaken.
They used to have an Android app called "Trezor Manager" which could have been only used to change the device settings and update the firmware. It is no longer available in the Google Play, probably because it will be replaced by Trezor Suite soon, but the apk installation file can still be downloaded from Trezor website. |

Could you please elaborate a little more on what you wrote:
"Trezor is an HD wallet also, this means if you sent a small test amount, the unspent amount will be sent to change the address also."
In other words, for privacy reasons, when you make a transaction, Trezor automatically generates a new address called a change address and sends the excess coins there instead of sending them to the address from which they were originally sent. The "excess coins" thing might be a bit difficult for you to understand right now. This article should help you get a grasp of it. As for your problem, unfortunately, it is not possible to see your change addresses in the Trezor web interface. You need to use some third-party software, for example Electrum ( source). Alternatively, you can look up the transactions you made in a block explorer and you should see an extra address in the outputs. |

Never use Trezor since I bought it last month ago, what something strange, I recently open task manager and found a Trezord application running on, I don't use and connecting wallet since amount ago, is this normal, or Someone remoting this application (or just over paranoid)?
That's Trezor Bridge. You need it to be able to use your Trezor with the web interface. You can disable it in the "Start-up" tab in the task manager. You will have to launch it manually every time you want to use your Trezor in a browser, though. |

If I have my own electrum node, Could I save the additional fee?
No, the 0.001 BTC fee is added to your transaction because you have created a 2FA wallet. You can disable 2FA. See the quote below. If you want to keep using the 2FA, then you can opt to pay 0.0025 BTC for 100 transactions rather than 0.001 BTC for 20, which works out as half the cost per transaction. The transaction fee will also be larger with 2FA wallets since they are multi-sig.
If you don't want to keep using 2FA, then open Electrum, create a new wallet, select that you already have a seed, enter your seed phrase, and choose to disable 2FA. You will now be able to spend your coins without the additional fee.
If you do choose to disable 2FA, you should send all your coins to a brand new non-2FA wallet. Even after disabling 2FA, the wallet remains multi-sig and therefore the transaction remain larger and more expensive than necessary.
Select "Standard wallet" instead of "Wallet with two-factor authentication" while creating a new wallet. |

Now I want to unload/load wallets, but bitcoin-cli -regtest loadwallet "wallet1" gives me an error message: Those wallets should have been loaded automatically after you have created them so that's why you're getting that error. What error do you get when you try to unload them? |

If I install the current core wallet on a bigger drive, and import the wallet.dat file, then allow it to sync, will the coin re appear in my source wallet?
Yes, that should work. You might need to rescan your wallet if nothing shows up. By the way, you can check the balances of both wallets using some block explorer if you know which addresses were involved. Is there a better course of action for recovery? Any advice would be appreciated as I'd like to recover the BTC.
You could export your private keys and import them into some other software wallet, for example Electrum. This way, you won't have to download all the blocks. As long as you are fine with using different software, you can give it a go. Note that before installing Electrum, you should verify the installer. |

You might get a better deal for Christmas, but it could be one of the "buy 2x Trezor One and get another one for free" type of offers.
It is as bad as I expected. For Christmas, one can buy a Trezor One doublepack for 88.5 euro while a single Trezor One costs 59 euro (regular price). There are no other discount codes or bundles. |

First of all, what version of Electrum do you have? Most recently I set up another wallet on electrum. Created a request code, then wento the wallet with the BTC in it and pasted that code into the recipient address. Then the amount. The I pick a block option and the payment comes up in the list below.
What "block option" are you referring to? You should be able to right-click on that payment. You should see a list of options. You will find "Pay..." there. |

It's just a matter of record keeping offchain?
For the time being, yes. There will be no need for rounding down millisatoshis on channel closure once we increase the number of decimal places on-chain. It is bound to happen some day. Honestly it's bit odd that all outputs are rounded down rather than one is rounded up and the other one is rounded down.
I am quite sure I have read an explanation for this. I will try to find it. |
|
|
|
Shouldn't it be simple rounding (with satoshi unit) when the channel is closed? One's balance will pass through ceil function and another one will pass floor function.
It is as simple as that. All outputs of a commitment transaction are rounded down to whole satoshis, though ( source). |

What's with KeepKey? Did they had any Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals this year?
You should read this thread before you even start to consider buying KeepKey. Long story short, the support is terrible and you will quickly get frustrated. You might not even be able to use its dedicated software without going through KYC. It's basically a worthless black brick as stated in the thread's subject. |

Maybe they will offer something better for Cyber Monday? I was expecting more from Trezor for the Black Friday promotion, especially when I saw the offer for Ledger.
I have just got an e-mail with another 20% discount code - CYBERMONDAY2020. It is valid until 30th November. You might get a better deal for Christmas, but it could be one of the "buy 2x Trezor One and get another one for free" type of offers. |

Ive read about a the difference when not being a whole btc being sent back to a change address but my Ledger doesnt show receiving anything back.
It seems to be a synchronization related problem. Open settings in the top-right corner, select the "Help" tab and click on "Clear Cache". If it's not going to help then try downloading Electrum and restoring your wallet there using your Ledger; not the recovery seed. You should eventually see your coins in the Ledger Live. Their servers might be a bit overloaded right now. |

Just trying to move coin from electrum, can't get it out. Help is appreciated.
You are running a really old version of Electrum which might be part of the reason why you have such a problem. Download the latest version (4.0.5) from here. You should also verify the installation file before launching it. |

Are there any better deals for the Trezor harvard wallet on Black Friday? I was expecting a bigger discount at the official shop, maybe there will be something for Cyber Monday?
I don't think there will be a bigger discount. There might be some other deal like a free Trezor One for each Trezor T bought or three devices for the price of two. |
