Eh, that's one solution but I respect people who complain about things as long as those complaints are at least semi-reasonable.  If nobody complained, there would be no progress and there would be a lot of bottled-up anger.  

I could not agree more. The more drama (most of the complains are drama in my opinion) means the more content creating, more time to spend in the forum. This forum is addictive. Once a conversation has built up and if you are deeply involved in it then game on. I have had less sleep many days, even I have responded in topics in my dream (kidding :-P). I mean your brain is active while you are sleeping, perhaps you are thinking about the next response to post and once you find a point you just grab your laptop and post it.

These days I do not do it much though. I guess it's from the experience that I learnt to keep myself calm :-)

My advise for OP: Keep trolling the people you hate LOL
Please do not listen to actmyname and leave us alone :-P

West Indies may be having the home advantage and they may be able to surprise the Indians if all of their super-stars turn up for the matches. A star-studded playing XI, which includes Gayle, Pollard, Russel, Bravo, Lewis.etc may prove to be a tough nut to crack for the Indians. Some of their bowlers, especially the pacers like Cottrell, Roach and Thomas has the ability to trouble the Indian batting lineup.
This T20 series will be an entertaining one. WI are master in T20 so we won't see a broken West Indies like we have seen in the World Cup.

Now I have seen some news about Kohli's captaincy to be replaced by Rohit. Not sure if the news is really a news but if that's true then I think they should not do it. India only played a bad match in the semi. For any team a bad day is common. Except the semi, they played world class cricket in the World Cup. It's a winning team with a very young and talented captain.

I am only interested in ETH, NEO and ADA. There are too many alts and most of them are scams so I never bothered to explore many of them.

Anyone has any prediction for ETH, NEO and ADA?

This is an old fake-exchange-scammer-story and they try to convince you to deposit a specific amount first, before you can withdraw your winnings.
Especially newbies, dont let the greed disable your brain... :-D

If anyone ask for prior opposite then obviously it's an scam attempt.
When something is too good to be truth then it is a misdirection.

Asking for deposit before withdrawing is very old trick but I still see people are losing their money caught up with this trick. I hope someday there will be enough awareness.

Ah! Good to be back here. I have locked the prediction pool. Thanks guys.

Back to the regular conversation, seems like we are going for Ashes talk? English team is in their pick after winning the world cup and I am sure this Ashes will be more interesting then some of the recent series. Both Australia and English team are most likely have the same strength.

By the way, I am just curious to discuss about Ben Stokes innings in the final match. He had a dashing world cup. Not many player can play an inning like that. His inning had a good combination of luck and skills. Fortune favored the brave.

As squatter said, place emphasis on the fact that your documents were stolen and that there is $5k or so at stake. Don't go into the mumbo-jumbo of bitcoin jargon or too much about Localbitcoins, just keep it simple and ask them to file a case.
Whatever it takes, OP should get his money back. $5k is a lot of money and Localbitcoins should not keep it as bait to get that fraud guy. If they found the account was suspicious then they should not allow the 2nd user to verify their account.

They approved the verification and then they let him to deposit the money and now when the user needs the money, now they are creating problem for him. This does not look good.

Ethereum just made a mess of it self by considering bitcoincash blockchain for transaction issue.. i doubt how long this will long and i wonder if it will retain its second spot in the market.
What is that? I am not much up to date about the technology change for Ethereum. Do you have a article or something so that I can have a look to understand the work currently going on with Ethereum or has already done?

Cheers :-)

@Royse777 - Don't you worry mate, I'm sure you will recover that 0.05BTC you have lost in tennis.  Grin

I am not gambling these days (from last a week) and decided not to gamble anymore. But in my gambling career I never chased. I know if I go for chasing then I will lose more. I have seen a lot of people around me losing their hard earning money.

Taking about tennis, I missed this Wimbledon to see because of this World Cup cricket. Looking forward to the next major tournament.

What do you guys think about Federer, he already have 20 GS. Do you think he will manage to get one more or few?

Lol, do you know how much users Google's services still have? Their entire business strategy is based on selling people's data and nobody cares.
You'd be wrong to assume that crypto users care more. Everyone is more than willing to send personal information (including IDs) for KYC etc.

Only a very small minority of people actually care about their privacy.

Everything has its cost. We see all those multi million dollar company are letting us to use their service for free but without any catch? We are their product. Without us there will be no Facebook, no Google, no Yahoo. But the only way for them to hang us with them is to provide us the service. And they are doing the exact thing that they were suppose to.

Problem is - we are so dependent with those service that knowing our privacy is being compromise, we are still using their service.
For example: To make this post I am using Google chrome firefox (Not using google chrome though). I am logged in with my gmail account which means google is tracking all my moves. Constantly they are storing my information in their database so they know me very well. I know all these things but why I still let them to do that? Because of the comfortless of using their system. They are customizing their serving for me which makes my life easier.

I see an ad on the Tele where one guy is saying why don't I see that you see in my phone. The other guy proudly saying because google knows what I want. I am in the same situation but not proud because I know I have no option but use their service knowing that my privacy is in stake however we try our best.

Just checked the other computer -

the receiving address starts with a 1 in the default/watching wallet and after checking the addresses
tab in the new wallet it also starts with a 1 and is identical leaving me to believe that it was indeed
and Electrum seed I used.

The problem I have now is how to view my payments and total in the main pane with the new transactional
wallet.

Rab.

Now we know that it's a legacy address. I am assuming you are not seeing the same address those are in the watch wallet? If not then you have entered wrong see I am afraid.

Check if you are

# missing any word from the seed
# any wrong word in the seed

If none from the above then the seed you are entering is not the seed of that watch wallet.


I have been able to resolve the problem with help
from you all.

I wouldn't have thought to check the addresses to make sure I was
using the correct app.

All is well now thanks again.

Rab.
Oh great! Are you seeing the balance now in the restored wallet?
7073  Economy / Exchanges / Re: How LBC blocked my 5000$ without any reasons on: July 17, 2019, 05:22:36 PM
That's a very good question. The issue should be spotted at the time of verification. By the way, I just want to be clear here: You are the real owner of the ID?
Sure, i can make any selfie with my ID and me. I've sent them my transaction history from huobi exchange where i bought bitcoins and then sent it to LBC.
If you really want to post a selfie with your ID and other sensitive information then I would suggest to post them in the Investigation board.

Okay you can not post them in the investigation board. You will need to be at least a member but I can help you if you want. If you PM me the information then I can post the information in the Investigation board.

But before that I will suggest to create the scam accusation topic in the scam accusations board. In the topic body give the link of the investigation topic as well once it will be created. Posting the sensitive information in the Investigation board protect your privacy from Google and other search engine. They can not crawl those data and expose your personal information.

Feel free to PM me if you need help. I am online for the next one hour or so.

PS: When you take the selfie, make sure you hand write your BticoinTalk username and the username in localbitcoins in a paper to prove that the photo indeed had taken for this purpose.
7074  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Move/Sweep Bitcoins from wallet to wallet on: July 17, 2019, 05:14:18 PM

Yes, usually it doesn’t matter. But some wallets use a different derivation path, which means that you need to specify it while restore the wallet to get the same wallet. That’s actually also what changes between a Bech32, Nested Segwit and Legacy wallet (each has an different derivation path) and you can actually create multiple wallets from the same seed.
Yes, I am aware of this. And I think with the OP it's the case. Also in Electrum if one use extended seed and then if they forget about it but use only the regular seed then they will see a wallet but that's not the same wallet they had originally.

To help OPs case we really need to know the above information those were asked already and with that OP needs to make sure that he has not used extended seed as well.
7075  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Move/Sweep Bitcoins from wallet to wallet on: July 17, 2019, 05:05:06 PM
Was this seed originally created on Electrum?
The client software those support seed - were they have to be the same software? I always thought it does not matter. Once someone has a seed then they can use this seed to restore using any client software that support restoring using seed.

The client software needs to be same when it comes to wallet.dat file I believe. Like the wallet.dat file of a bitcoin core is not gonna open using Electrum client.

If everyone likes one spot then there is no issue, conflict of interest comes when the other person like Tennis and another one likes to watch cricket  Cheesy, it will be one heck of a situation, i have recorded the entire match as i was certain that England is going to win by a narrow margin but never expect the match to be this close and declare the winner because ICC said so  Cheesy i made a bet on Federer v Djokovic and hence it was nerve wrecking for me when Djokovic lost the second set 6 to 1 i was thinking that Djokovic fucked me over once again as i lost a lot of bet during 2017 Smiley.
Man! Talking about betting it reminds me the nightmare memory of this cricket world cup. I have lost over 0.1BTC. In the England vs Sri Lanka match alone I have lost 0.05BTC :-(

Back in the tennis match, I was expecting Federer to win the match but I know that it will not be easy for both of them whoever wins it and indeed it was not an easy one. In fact it seems one of the match that will be remembered for very very long time.
7077  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Move/Sweep Bitcoins from wallet to wallet on: July 17, 2019, 04:52:09 PM
There are nothing like sweep I think. Pretty sure you have messed up with the seed of the wallet that is why you are not seeing any balance in the restored wallet.

You said you created a new wallet with that seed.
I created a new wallet with that seed in the hope that the bitcoins would appear from
the watching default wallet in to the new wallet with seed.  This didn't happen.

With the same seed you actually do not create a new wallet, you restore the wallet with a given seed. May be some of the question was asked by the user above will help us to guide you.

How the hell that hermanproudfoot account and Peppapig is the same? Just looking on the profile of those 2 where on is being created 2 weeks ago and that Peppapig was created 3 years ago.LBC support response isnt really that convincing on my part which they havent clarified and using up privacy as an alibi.A very hard situation and also local authorities cant help out on this one.
It's the ID that was given was same for both account.


I have a question: why did the verification system successfully accept the same ID two times?  How does localbitcoins protect user data from being re-verified by other people?

That's a very good question. The issue should be spotted at the time of verification. By the way, I just want to be clear here: You are the real owner of the ID?


Thank you for answer! At first, I thought of posting my post in the scam accusations board, but then I realized that it did not correspond to the topic of the section. The exchange detained my funds and does not want to give them away, they offer impossible solutions to the situation and I do not know how to resolve this issue.

Assuming you are the real owner of the ID and in that case you should create this topic in the scam accusations board to get the targeted people for your case.

Have all the information including the transaction ID that was sent to localbitcoins account also try signing the address to prove your ownership of the from address of the transaction.

If you provide solid evidences then you will get good attention and hopefully this will awake the localbitcoins team to resolve your case in a priority base. We have seen so many examples that were solved when the awareness were raised in here.

Good luck bud.
7079  Economy / Reputation / Re: kenzawak hacked (again) on: July 17, 2019, 04:33:44 PM

Would it be wrong to leave a negative trust feedback afterwards, now that negative trust doesn't mean that someone is a scammer?

Well although leaving a red trust does not effect like it used to be but if kenzawak get the account back and can prove that he indeed got it back then I do not think it will be appropriate to leave a negative trust since it's with him the original owner.

May be a neutral can serve as a reminder that the account was hacked twice but now it's with the original owner.

Partially my fault, partially kenzawak's fault (after all, they got hacked twice in a short period of time). I'd probably ask for half from him, he'd state that he's not here to trade and deny all responsibility despite being on DT1 with positive trust feedback. We'd carry on with life afterwards.
Still it's very unfair for both the lender and the original account owner who did not actually request the loan. What if the original owner does not have the money because the given some was very large amount.

The only way I think is very safe for both party is the requester signs a message with their BTC address every time they request a loan.
7080  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Live now supports Bech32 addresses! on: July 17, 2019, 04:02:27 PM
Something may be bugged with ledger live and native segwit addresses (may be a bug, this is a new feature)
I am pretty sure it's a bug.

Since every thing is very clearly showing on the blockchain, I would say there are nothing to worry for Backslash77. The balance are in his wallet. According to the transaction on the blockchain 1 BTC was sent to the address 3KodMvBcdXdUfNMV5v8Fe1rvrzRibPzoZw and the rest were gone to the changed address which is bc1qssyu9sxgczgvtdxt3jctf7kxf4gh50qx2zxp0d  is this case.

~snip~

You don't have to expose your private key. Electrum allows you to create a new wallet using a hardware device. If you don't connect the device then Electrum will act as a watch-only wallet.
I never felt to try my Ledger Nano S with Electrum. If I ever do then may be I will write a short post about it.


Edit:
~snip~

According to this page, you have to create a new account. I can't give you any further details since I don't own any Ledger device anymore.

I have Ledger Nano S. I will try later today and will post an update on this topic. Hopefully it will help us to understand.

I can confirm that one needs to update their Ledge Live to have this feature for your Ledger wallet.




@Backslash77
Can you try to Clear cache of you Ledger Live?

Go to the settings icon on the top right corner, next to synchronize.


Click and then go to help tab and finally find the Clear blue button to clear the cache.


Not sure if that will help but worth trying.
