If you downloaded a bitcoin miner software from there, then the antivirus is basically correct: it's bitcoin miner. And it also tells it nicely: not a virus.
I think that such flagging comes from the days people tried to use others' computers to mine bitcoin, and it's the same code/signature inside, whether it's a legit miner or not.
So if you intentionally downloaded a miner, I believe that you are fine.

As said, Bitcoin is proof of work, you're not "staking" it.
However, there are platforms here and there that offer interest if you deposit your bitcoin on those sites.

Now, warnings: many such sites are plain scams, pretending to offer incredibly high yearly interest, DYOR.
Also keep in mind that even if a site may be legit now, there's no guarantee that you'll get your money back in case of "events" (hack, going out of business, whatever).
All in all, bitcoin has been rising nicely and holding it in your wallet safely should be just fine already profit-wise.

One website I know that offer interest for the coins you hold there is https://freebitco.in , 4.08% per year.
But beware, it has dicing and you may be very easily tempted to "try your luck" and lose all your money there. And yeah, DYOR.

I'm sorry, but even if I'd have 100 grands to put in a bank, I would spend maybe more than an hour to research about that bank's reputation, if that money is backed/guaranteed by the state/EU and such.
But just putting the money there... this much money.. is... is... phwoahhhh...

I don't like Coinbase either, but business is business.
This being said, I won't be a buyer, at least not now.

Imho Coinbase is not a normal company and this is not a normal IPO. When Bitcoin price will fall and especially when a new crypto winter will come, I expect (I may be wrong though) that the shares will also fall.
If so, why shouldn't I just keep bitcoin instead, especially as I don't afford to diversify much.

Maybe during the next crypto winter Coinbase shares could be a good investment, at least until bitcoin new bull run will start. But that's speculation, hence it doesn't matter. Now, imho keeping bitcoin is better.

I've found this ^ in their pricing plans FAQ.
OP, did you try to e-mail them? I don't know what those "specific cases" could mean, but maybe they will accept your bitcoin directly. It may worth a try...

No. Just stop there.
If you don't know what you're doing, you'll end up very easy losing all the funds invested.
The first rule is to invest only what you afford to lose. But you have to also know what you are doing, crypto trading is not something like putting 1000$ in the field and in the autumn you'll have a tree full of 1000$ bills.

No matter who could be Greta, I expect it's a normal plastic Coca-Cola bottle filled with wine. Especially in the evenings the unsuspecting eye will believe that one is actually drinking cola.
Come on, everybody who has been in college around here ^(Romania) knows that.

I am still shocked how can people in the year 2021 still keep huge amounts of money in the custody of basically random third party.
Sorry OP and best of luck, you will need it.


We live in a lazy world. Here's the full link for those interested https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5328489.0

Actually it's even better that the price doesn't grow continuously. It makes the overall bull run take longer.
And I find about odd the talk about "bulls not strong" when 3.5 months ago the price was less than half of what's now.

An extrapolation would tell that if the price doubles (and more) every ~3.5 months, the price could get to 400k before the year ends.
Too bad that extrapolations don't always work.

I can try to help, but you provided far too few information.
First of all, blockchain.com is a private company and we are not their support. Also, although they do offer a web wallet solution, web wallets are not advised because they are inherently unsafe.

Now, about your problem.
The transaction fee depends on how busy the network is - that increases the fee/vByte your wallet will ask - and the size of your transaction.
From the info you provided I think that the second wallet has a lot of small inputs and that makes it big hence expensive (analogy: wallet 1 has banknotes, wallet 2 has a ton of small coins and you'll have to hire a truck/lorry to carry them)

How... if you work from desktop/laptop you'll probably have to import the wallet into a smarter one and make your transaction only from the bigger inputs.
And the smaller inputs you'll use/consolidate when the network fees are lower (weekends).

However, until we get here, you should validate that this is indeed the case (you indeed have big number of inputs in wallet 2)

1. Like for any other investment, if you want to buy and hold, i.e. invest, never spend more than you afford to lose.
This is a main rule and it's different for each different person.

2. Keep in mind that you can buy even very small fractions of Bitcoin.

3. You seem to be missed the fact that bitcoin is also a coin, i.e. something than can be earned or spent for goods and services (i.e. you can work for it and at payday buy something nice)

I've made today a new pull request (this time for the web page) where I've put, as you asked, your name as translator and the link to your Bitcointalk profile.
And (drums..) the pull request was already merged (some minutes ago) by Cøbra to master repository.
So I expect that rather soon this will also be visible on the website.


Edit: It's all good now. And I guess that this thread can be locked. There's nothing shameful any longer in the Romanian translation for the Bitcoin white paper. Au contraire! 

I am not certain, but he may be referring to OWNR.
I've noticed their announcement not long ago, if you scroll up a bit you'll find my post.
(I don't know how good they are, DYOR before putting too much money there.)

1. Please move your thread to Beginners and Help. (bottom-left, move topic)

2. The addresses don't expire. Only the related receipts may expire, but that doesn't matter in your case.
So just use that receive address you've got, it's just fine and as long as your wallet exists it won't expire.
You can also do Show->View addresses and you'll see the current (they may be more in the future) addresses in your wallet. You can also copy one of those if it feels safer  

3. Since you are new with Electrum, I also recommend you make sure you use Electrum downloaded from https://electrum.org and verified: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/

4. Keep your wallet and seed safe, anybody having the seed can spend your funds, so you better save it to paper and clearly not into mail, Dropbox and such.

I didn't use trading bots, but I've translated this website some months ago, I've found it pretty informative and, although I'm not affiliated with it, I recommend you give it a read: https://tradingbot.info/

You keep finding answers and ways to dodge the actual problem.
I can tell you that all these answers just show everybody that you are not ripe enough to properly handle a (any) business involving money.

AdvCash are planning that for about a year, I think.
That means that it can happen "any time now" or in years (unfortunately).
Also keep an eye on their new inactivity fees.

The absolute fee is meaningless, please keep the discussion on sat/vByte.
And the 8 sat/vByte OP has been using is indeed too low. Just look at https://mempool.space/ for the current fees.


The free accelerator that indeed works needs at least 10 sat/vByte, so this transaction doesn't qualify.
But you're right with CPFP: if OP is in a hurry and he owns one of the receiving addresses, he can spend that (unconfirmed) input with significantly higher fee than the current average and he will get both transactions confirmed.
If OP is not in a hurry, he should wait until the week-end when the fees use to drop and maybe then his tx will get confirmed (last week-end they've dropped until around 5 sat/vByte).

OTG cable or adapter is the same - well, if depends on the phone's USB type, but that's all - and can be bought from anywhere. You have to be only careful that the cable is data cable.
I've bought mine for about 50 cents from AliExpress some years ago, it's a tiny adapter I have to insert into the USB cable, hence I use it together with Nano S factory cable.
But, while it works with Mycelium, it cannot work with Electrum, simply because that part is not implemented in Electrum for Android.

I'm curious what will happen first: you'll reach the maximum post length with the trivial corrections or you'll be finally right
