if they are legit they wont never ask for sensitive details such as seed phrase
I get your point, you are right, but any wallet that is web wallet can be compromised by hackers at anytime, the wallet domain can be compromised, this can happen to any web based platform.

I read this news like a day ago, I could have brought it up here but thinking there are many phishing attempts of such brought up on this forum, but bringing it up here too on this forum might safe someone, but I am still always surprised that some people can go ahead entering their seed phrase online. Even if it is legit metamask wallet, they should know not to enter their seed phrase unless when receovering back their wallet.

Quote
The form asks for the secret recovery phrase that can be used to respawn users’ crypto wallets.
I hope people will be wise one day. And it is better to make use of mobile wallet, or desktop wallet more preferably than using web wallets that are most vulnerable to online attacks. Or someone should go safer and use offline wallet.

This kind of attack is not the first on web wallets and will not be the last.

Herdsmen like their cows more than human lives, that is why their cow will be hungry and feed them with person's farm products, thereby destroying the farmland.

There are a lot of helpless pikin in North, they have no option because they have no good parent to take care of them, but being part of Boko Haram will secure them food. Poverty and lack of education is the cause of Boko Haram progress.

See country way be say, God been don position well, way be say we get everything and even the human capacity to dey generate anything way we need to survive yet, na we dey suffer pas! Up till now, them still dey call us underdeveloped nation.
Nigeria is a developing country, but many citizens even suffering pass people in underdeveloped countries as we are populated.

I no see why, person no fit just get money run live this country. Make them chop am for mouth as we government no wan help matters.
If that is possible, it is the best way. Also alternative is for our generation not to act like the failed ogas that are there now, but I am seeing this nearly impossible.

No doubt about that, the leaders that will sick and travel abroad for treatment, because they make here bad for citizens, good health care they can not build, just one of it, there are still many lapses. I am tired talking about this as nothing is changing. Only in Africa are leaders traveling abroad for treatment, their children are citizens of USA, UK but calling themselves leaders.

Why don't you ignore users?  Man,
Why don't you ignore users?  Man, my ignore list runs a mile long and I could probably add at least 50 new members to it if I were of the mind to do so.
I like reporting poor posts, and most or nearly all the reported posts are posts of newbies and poor posters. Also because I do not read all posts during many replies, I focus most on reading the ones that people in high-paying campaigns do post.

Why don't you ignore users?  Man,
What do you do with your list of "quality-posting users"?  Just curious.
A little mistake for not completing that accurately, not a list on a book that I meant, I do not write down usernames. I meant active members on this forum that will be very difficult for me to forget, I have their names off hand, which I like reading their post.

If you do spend time to specifically award good posts, it could also be an option to apply for the merit source position, although you're only Full Member and that could be in some eyes an obstacle.
I always have many quality posts to merit, some people even make good posts while they correct me but at times do not have smerits to give, and I will not have option than to not give as I do not have at the moment. I wished to have applied for merit source when I got 1000 merits but there were many people that have applied and yet not given, to the extent I noticed TheBeardedBaby wrote 'When Merit Source?' as his personal text as it has been so long ago he applied.

People that feels the same way that think they are good poster could have just applied for merit source, but it has been very long since merit sources were choosen last, and there are some merit source that are no more active. For now, I think the best alternative which is effective but might not be satisfactory enough is to report the post as mentioned above. I said it is effective but not satisfactory because merit sources can still report good posts there too which is an added advantage.

Thanks for the corrections, as the article is right now, adding infographics to it will still require more explanations like choosing a specific wallet like electrum, explaining how to enable RBF will increase the word contents along, but I have this more in mind already in case of next time. I have tried to reduce the contents, especially I deleted the ending parts.

BTW, can you also include the relevance between RBF and CPFP?
Do you mean the importance of both? It is included in the article, but not just as subtopic, but one of the main reason I created the thread.
6709  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Crypto and man what's next on: May 03, 2021, 09:02:56 PM
Do not get it wrong that fiat is not only existing in paper, it is also existing in digital form but not cryptocurrency, what I believe could change fiat from this present digital form into crypto digital form are CBDCs, but we do not know yet if CBDC evolution will lead to digital fiat extinction. But it is true that its is the modern era currencies which might extinct fiat in the long run.

What I just like the most is that cryptocurrencies like bitcoin which is decentralized, appreciative in design, easily accessible and making especially cross border payment easier. Such decentralized cryptocurrencies like bitcoin is created for people as a safe haven against fiat depreciation resulting from central control.

Does that email still exist?
If it is someone@hotmail.com the email account might have been deleted since you don't use for a long time.  Maybe you can create a new email with the same username (if available) and receive the blockchain.com email.
This might work.
It can not work, he needs the original email to be able to access the wallet. An authorization email will be sent to the old email before access.

Attached email still exist so unable to create new email from same username Sad
Only what you can do this time is to further to contact blockchain.com customer care. For faster response, use the Twitter support as suggested by dkbit98 above.

The 20 word seed phrase is not BIP39 mnemonic seed phrase, better to make use of wallet ID and password so far you have both.

Althought i already know wallet identifier its password.
All you need to do is to use your wallet ID and password to login

6712  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: RBF vs CPFP on: May 03, 2021, 01:00:49 PM
It has been turned on by default for quite some time, since one of the version from 2018.
Electrum has supported RBF some years ago, but if RBF is enabled, you will need to still flag the transaction to support RBF, unlike now which is dafault while sending unless you flagged the transaction not to support RBF.

No offence, the post is actually extremely wordy and some better structuring would be needed.
I tried my best to reduce the post contents, but will result to missing of important information for newbies. Just trying to simplify it as it could be.

Maybe the buterin and binance owner Can teach satoshi and garlinghouse how to make Better coin in terms of speed!!
You need to make proper research on what you do not know before making shitty posts again and again. Bitcoin PoW algorithm can be adjusted in a way to make transactions faster, but know that bitcoin mining reward algorithm is programmed to mine a block at 10 minutes interval, although the time can vary significantly, it is one of the reason. Or block size can be increased to make transaction faster, but this has only resulted to hard fork, why are the forked coins and other coins not progressing like bitcoin.

Also know that bitcoin is not only about money, it is also an asset.

I am having a little problem with your english, but are you saying I can buy monero with bitcoin directly when I have the trezor model t hardwallet?
Somehow I dont think this is true, I thought the hard wallet was to be used just to make sure your funds are more secure and anonymous.
I thought you needed decentralized exchange to purchase bitcoin so you can use it to buy Trezor? That is why I said it is better to buy bitcoin directly.

This is not what what I meant, as you can see from this same post above reply, but very possible to use third party exchange on Trezor to exchange from one coin to another, but they are centralized exchanges like Changelly and ChangeNow.

For privacy, make use of Bisq.
6716  Other / Beginners & Help / RBF vs CPFP on: May 03, 2021, 11:43:14 AM
Some people might thought child-pay-for-parent is the same as replace-by-fee, thinking child-pay-for-parent was just a way you can pump bitcoin transaction fee just like replace-by-fee, although seem like that, but I think differentiating between this two terms is very important for people to know the differences and when to use one instead of the other. There could be stuck transaction, and the sender unable to pump it using replace-by-feeas the the transaction does not support replace-by-fee, what then comes to the mind of few is to use child-pay-for-parent to unstuck the transaction, but because the sender or the receiver was still using low fee in another (child) transaction, the transaction could still remain stuck, it would be one transaction (parent transaction) before and it became two transactions (parent and child transaction) that will be stuck, the other transaction is the child one. This is one of the challenges many people making use of bitcoin is facing when they do not actually knowing the differences between RBF and CPFP.

What is RBF and how to use it
Replace-by-fee is a way to pump a transaction using higher fee. In this way, the bitcoin will be double-spent, which means another transaction hash (txid) will be created, double spending the bitcoin into the same previous receivers address or into another address entirely. That is why transactions that support replace-by-fee can be used to pump the fee or cancel a the transaction. A cancelled transaction is not different at all from RBF because the transaction is not actually cancelled but double-spent into another address on the sender's wallet, the sender's wallet do this automatically if you cancel a transaction.

In a wallet that supports RBF, it is good to check if the wallet RBF is enabled or not, but like on electrum, the RBF is enabled by default, but very good to still confirm this on your wallet to make sure it support RBF. Each time you want to make a transaction, there will be an option to flag a transaction to make it support RBF, but the latest electrum starting from version 4.1.1 and up, the transaction will be automatically support RBF unless you flag it not to support RBF. Depending on the wallet you are using, but checking if the wallet itself support replace-by-fee, many or most bitcoin wallets are not yet supporting it which is one of the bad side of such wallets.

Unstucking transactions using RBF
If a transaction support replace-by-fee, you can easily unstuck it by pumping the fee, which means the fee to an unconfirmed transaction can be increased by making use of RBF, so that the transaction can have higher chances to be included in a block mined. This is the way to cancel a transaction too, the fee will be pump but the address will be changed to another address on the wallet so that the unconfirmed bitcoin transaction will be diverted from the former receiver's address to another address which is from the sender's wallet address, which means the transaction is cancelled but require higher fee. In all cases of RBF, there will be change of transaction hash (txid) as the unconfirmed Bitcoin is double-spent.

What is CPFP and how to use it
Child-pay-for-parent is a means bitcoin transaction (parent transaction) can have high chance to be confirmed by miners as a result of unspent transaction output (UTXO) in the changed address which is used along in another transaction (child transaction), but this is done when it is the sender that want to make use of CPFP. The receiver can also make use of CPFP, if the receiver is using a wallet that can spend uncomfirmed input, all what the receiver will do is to create another bitcoin transaction spending from the unconfirmed input transaction, and use a high fee.

Unstucking transaction using CPFP
Uisng CPFP can be a potential means to unstuck a bitcoin transaction but it will demand for more fee, the more fee that will be demanded for will be required for the child transaction and also an addition fee for the unconfirmed parent transaction, although the fee will be added only in the child transaction but in a way it will compensate for the parent transaction and yet enough to get child transaction confirmed. This will make miner to be able to include the transaction in a block as early as it should, and the parent transaction will be confirmed along with the child transaction as both will be included in the same block mined. So, using CPFP, you will create another transaction, resulting into two (child and parent) transactions which will require more fee to be paid, or resulting to another transaction to be created from an unconfirmed output from the receiver's wallet which will demand for fee.

When to, and when not to use RBF and CPFP
When trying unstucking a transaction, RBF must first come in mind, as it has chances of lower fee if compared with CPFP. So, before using CPFP, certain reasons to and not to use it must be known, that is why I will not suggest CPFP not to be used for unstucking certain transactions. If the original transaction hash (txid) is necessary in a transaction in certain payment, and you want to unstuck the transaction, you can not use RBF as the txid will be changed as the coin is double spent, but higher fee will be required for CPFP as explained above to create another transaction with high fee so the parent transaction can have high chance to get confirmed in a block mined. .

Also, if you have an unstuck transaction, and you want to create another transaction to be used to send bitcoin to another person that you know you will include the parent or part of the parent unspent UTXO, you can consider to use CPFP if you know that even if RBF is used, you will still have to send bitcoin to another person. In this case, you can use a stone to kill two birds by making use of CPFP because all you want at the time is two transactions. In this way, it can not be said that CPFP comes with high fee, because if you do not use CPFP,  you will still have to create another transaction to send the bitcoin to another person you want to send bitcoin to.

The reason CPFP is said to require higher fee than RBF is because during unstucking such transaction, the sender or receiver are sending bitcoin back into another address on their same wallet which require higher fee.

Check transaction input and output before using CPFP
This is more to the receiver than the sender because the sender will still know the transaction he/she created before making child transaction, but the receiver may not know this. The unconfirmed transaction can be tracked on blockchain explorer, if the transaction consist of many inputs and outputs, most especially inputs which are the ones that are more weight to transactions, it will be better not to think if unstucking such transaction, as the more inputs and outputs in the parent transaction, the more fee that will be required for the child transaction. So people will make use of CPFP and yet use a fee that can not get the parent and child transaction confirmed in time but yet stay in mempool for weeks until the mempool become less congested in a way it can get such high inputs and outputs but low fee transaction confirmed.

Using wallet that support RBF and CPFP
One thing is that a transaction that support RBF can still support CPFP, it depends on the wallet you are using. As a sender, I can say all noncustododial wallet support CPFP at the senders side, but as for receiver to make use of it, not all wallets support CPFP, also there could be a possibility of the sender wallet not to make use of CPFP, which means it is better to get a wallet that support coin control to be able to be certain that as a sender, you are sending from the parent transaction change address UTXO. Using a wallet that support spending of unconfirmed transactions is necessary if you are the receiver, a good wallet that support all this is electrum. Also not all wallet that support RBF but electrum wallet also support it. So, let me use electrum as the standard wallet and use it as an example. If you enable a transaction to supoort RBF, it is also still supoorting CPFP on electrum so far you have changed address UTXO as a sender and spending from it with higher fee that can get two transactions confirmed, or if you are the receiver, you can spend from the unconfirmed transaction with a high fee that can get two transactions confirmed. That is the reason all transactions should be enabled to support RBF, so it is still your choice to still determine which one that best suit you at the time you want to unstuck the transaction based on what I have explained above, although there are few cases of the receiver telling sender not to enable RBF.

Why buying monero when it is bitcoin you need to purchase Trezor directly from the company, or you can use litecoin as it is only the alternative option for crypto payment to buy Trezor directly from the company.

Bsiq is a decentralized p2p exchange, no need of worrying to buy monero, maybe because you think the transaction can not be tracked, but it is just decentralized p2p exchange (bsiq) you are using and no need to care thinking about buying bitcoin or litecoin for the purchase as well, it can not be traced. Buying the coin you can use directly to buy Trezor wallet will be better.

Why mentioning LocalBitcoins, if p2p centralized exchanges are allowed in your country, then you can make use of a good reputed one, but know that you can not have full control on anything centralized, also that privacy is not possible on such exchanges. But, if possible and that you do not care about privacy (but privacy matters), then you can make use of such service, but it required kyc.

Many blame wallets hacks on the wallet but honestly most times this happens because of mistakes and carelessness on the users, the only crypto wallets that aren't safe are the centralised wallets but others that gives seed or private keys and still got hacked is due to users fault
You are not wrong, many wallet hack is as a result of people themselves which are careless, carelessness is one of the reasons for some of the hack. But having offline wallets still reduced the chances of the carelessness, using mobile or desktop wallet is also still better but yet vulnerable as they are both online wallets. Web wallets are just the most vulnerable, and they are not recommendable in case of safety, it makes people to be more vulnerable to their carelessness. But, yet, people need to be very careful and protect their wallet perfectly.

Did you want to know your wallet balance or want to recover back your wallet? The best is to recover back your wallet, then you will know your balance. To recover back your wallet:

1. You can follow SquirrelJulietGarden post by making use of btcrecover to brute-force the passwords.

2. Alternatively, which is the best method. You can get you seed phrase, export it to another noncustodial wallet like electrum or blockchain.com wallet itself, and you will be able to recover back your wallet as easy. The best backup you can have is to have your seed phrase which can make wallet recovery very easy.

If you have you wallet ID and have access to the email that was used to register that wallet
If the wallet owner do not have the wallet ID, he can use wallet ID reminder to recover back the wallet ID through email. If not getting wallet ID recovery email message, the person can contact the blockchain.com customer support for wallet look up through this link.
