You can export your private keys from electrum and import them into any other wallet and take control of your bitcoins, if you're looking for a web wallet which does this then you can use blockchain.info wallet's import wallet feature, although I wouldn't recommend it because web wallets are not as safe as electrum is.

Another way is making a raw transaction with electrum and broadcasting it with blockchain.info's push transaction, that way your keys and btc remain safe but you will have to do that everytime you want to send bitcoins which can be a bit of a hassle.

But as soon as you do I think it will count it as a new enrollment cmiiw and if you do it in between weeks then you might lose payment for posts which you made prior to the address change?

If Tails comes with synaptic installed then just search and remove it from there.

You can check the balance of that address on any block explorer such as blockchain.info/address/1xxxxxxxxxxxxx

1xxxxxxxxxxxxx = your address

If it shows the correct balance then don't worry, your funds are intact, electrum just needs to sync properly and when it does the light will at the right bottom will turn green and you'll see your funds in there. If it can't sync then you need to check your network connection and your firewall if it is blocking any ports etc.

When you use the dynamic fee option it calculates the transaction fee by bytes, so if you choose 0.0001 BTC/KB and the transaction size is 250 bytes then the fee will be around 0.00002xxx but the latest version 2.5.4 has the lowest amount of fee set to 0.00005 BTC so it will add atleast that much to all the transactions even if you have set the dynamic fee to the lowest.

I have now set it to 0.0005 BTC/kb and my transactions confirm normally which is within next 2 blocks and the average transaction fee I pay now is around 0.00011+ BTC

Did you went into a coma and woke up today after almost 3 months?

You should have stayed more active and should have kept updated about this issue on this thread and if you still haven't received your money back then at this point it seems like it is lost forever. I don't use BTCjam or any lending service but I bet it would be there in their terms that once you're blacklisted they'll freeze your funds.

Googled "btcjam blacklist", it got me here and I was right:



You can't withdraw money but you can add it? 

I don't think they'll let you withdraw your money now since like you said you have wrote to them many times and haven't received any replies. Sorry for you loss, how much was it btw?

LOL

Did you bet on SL? 

Betting is based on predictions, you read teams, their playing style and the situation of the match and based on that you make predictions and the situation in which NZ were in yesterday it was CLEAR that they will win this without any problems and they did. And you're wrong that if one team got out early the other team will too, that's the difference between teams. Good teams can take more pressure and they focus and perform better when the victory is in sight.

If it says active then that's exactly what it should mean and payments are 7 days from the day of your joining, so if you joined today, it should be on 27th.

Don't expect any miracles, SL has lost this match, they lost it when they failed to put up a good score on the board, they had no pressure, they needed to play calmly through the day but they played like amateurs and all the credit should go to NZ bowlers, their batters couldn't chase the first innings total and were in a tight position but their bowlers stepped up and turned things around. This match will be over in the first session tomorrow, the NZ's current rate is around 1.05, if you can bet big, this is a sure shot to make a profit.

Calm down man, everyone faces technical glitches and you're right, Forum-escrows are anonymous members of whom we know nothing about but they're still more trusted than newbies who haven't traded or spent time on this forum.

If you're trading online, you're going to have to trust someone, either that would be mediator or you trust the person you're dealing with directly. It's up to you who you choose to trust.

Let's just wait before blowing this thing out of proportion.

Just checked the weather forecast for next couple of days for Hamilton, NZ and it doesn't shows any rain, just some cloud and so we can expect to not get any more interruptions but it is still very difficult to predict which way this match is going but it will definitely go to the 5th day in my view.

Big Bash league is underway btw, I picked Adelaide Strikers for today's match and they played beautifully, my pick for tomorrow's match is Melbourne Renegades Team, they have a solid line up and the odds are great for them 1.74 atm.

Or use any other block explorer like blockchain.info and to answer the previous question, I have deposited, played and have won on this site also, but in my view it needs more active marketing campaigns because when I visited there was serious lack of players and you need atleast 2 to play a round and it's quite frustrating when you pick the correct size, which is the closest to the block size and you win but then you realize there was no one else in the round.

He is talking about LIVE odds and if you have betted live you'll notice that they change very frequently during the game, it might have happened that by the time he checked the odds on both the sites they were changed due to the events that happened during that match. I don't know about other sports but I have seen it happening in Cricket many times, odds of any side can jump or go down several points in any over if a side loses wickets in row or too much runs are scored.

I don't have any problems with the odds when betting with DB and they do, do their best to provide good experience to anyone betting on their site but I guess you can't please everyone, no matter how hard you try.

I use Electrum cold storage wallet and till now haven't faced any problems, multisig can add another layer of security to your cold storage but I never really felt the need for it because I make sure that the machine which has the keys stays offline and is only used to sign the transactions but as Shorena pointed out if you have a malware on the machine which is online and that malware spreads through USB then it can compromise the security of your cold storage wallet but this is why I use Linux for my cold storage and autorun programs/malwares don't get executed even if they're carried to the offline machine, although I make sure that my online computer is clean as a whistle.

But there is another way to avoid this problem, Paper wallets, make them offline, print them and use them only for one transaction, for example, you want to spend 0.5 BTC to 'A' from your paper wallet which contains 1 whole Bitcoin, so you go to your offline machine, import the paper wallet's keys, make a transaction where you send 0.5 to A and the rest of the BTC, which is 0.5 you send to the other paper wallet which you made earlier, bring the transaction online, broadcast it and voila! your bitcoins are safe because even if a malware or hacker knows your keys, password, etc. they cannot know the key of the other paper wallet which you printed offline.

Exactly and this type of attitude towards businesses who convert bitcoins to fiat will only push people away, let the business owners decide how they want to run their business, not everyone understand or is familiar with safe keeping and/or using bitcoins, which is why they use services like Bitpay which does the job for them. If Amazon decides to accept Bitcoin tomorrow by using a similar service like Bitpay, would you expect people to not use Amazon?

People who use bitcoin as remittance services, also converts them to fiat, even miners sell bitcoins to cover for their expenses, it's a currency, everyone is free to sell/buy it, more businesses accepting it, increases the trade and it ultimately helps bitcoin become more popular.

All you can now do is wait for the Blockchain.info's support response, I have never used that service, so can't say how it works or how safe it is, but shouldn't you have researched more about mixers before sending such large amount to one?

This is written on the website: Your coins never leave your control and therefore it is impossible for them to be stolen or confiscated. Don't know what they mean by that but it should be related to the recovery function you're referring to.

I think it's because they're out of funds, these exchanges convert the bitcoins to fiat and vice versa and when the price is up they don't want to buy because they will lose money and which is why they hold withdrawals. Exchanges are the biggest scams in Bitcoin world, run one legit for some time, let the bitcoiners think it's trustworthy and when you have enough, make up a story that it was hacked, wait a while then come back with a new name.

The thing is whenever you send bitcoins from your wallet to anywhere, there is no assurance that you will get them back. There are  legit services/exchanges but it's so hard to know which is which.

The easiest way would be (although it is not recommended) to use blockchain.info wallet, it has an import wallet feature same as coinbase and once you have imported all the keys you can send the funds over to coinbase.

Electrum is also a lot easier and safer than online wallet like blockchain.info, you can download it from here: https://electrum.org/#download  and importing keys are explained here: http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#can-i-import-private-keys-from-other-bitcoin-clients

You could but I doubt you'll earn anything worth the time and energy cost.

I buy usually when there is a sporting event is about to begin and I am out of bitcoins, for example, the big bash league is about to begin and I might buy before that, if not then I'll buy next year before the Aus Open. But that's all the requirement I have, I buy to gamble, mostly sportsbooks and casinos. And as far as buying for investment purpose is concerned I'll buy when I have enough to buy a few and the price is affordable.
