Still did not solve this...
I'm using Electrum 3.0 (2Fa) and this is the first I'm sending money from it.
I tried to figure this out..idk if this is miner's fee, Trustcoin fee, some hidden Bittrex fee, change address?? (which isn't mine), Virus??
Given that you have an Electrum "2FA" wallet... it cannot be a change address... as it went to a "1"-type address... and NOT a "3"-type address which is what you wallet is generating. If it is indeed the "first" transaction from your wallet, I would have to guess that it is the TrustedCoin "prepaid" fee of 0.005 which got calculated wrong?  The fact that your "payment"... along with a bunch of other 0.005 and 0.002 payments (the 2 prepayment amounts for TrustedCoin) were then aggregated in this transaction would tend to support my hypothesis. If you click the blue shield in the bottom right corner of the wallet, it should tell you how many credits you have left... is it 99? Or a lower value? Maybe this is a slight glitch in the system where if you don't have enough to meet the payment amount selected and you have 0 credits... it just takes whatever it can? In any case... you coins haven't been stolen or lost... they were used to prepay your TrustedCoin 2FA fees... |

I'm not sure why you need any "services" for sweeping a paper wallet? At the end of the day, a paper wallet is just a "private key" written or printed on a piece of paper (along with the address obviously)... almost every popular wallet allows for either importing or sweeping of private keys... And besides, there are plenty of guides and information on how to sweep paper wallets... and I bet YouTube has more than a few videos on how to do it... As an example, Electrum makes it about as easy as it gets: Wallet -> Private Keys -> Sweep - Enter the address you want to send to (by default it picks one from the current wallet automatically, BUT it can be ANY Bitcoin address) - Enter the private key from paper wallet (or anywhere else for that matter) - Click next - Double check the transaction looks OK - Click Broadcast For the other "forks coins", like BCH and BTG just sweep the private key repeatedly using the "ForkCoin"™ wallets of your choice... This isn't rocket surgery or brain science.  |

For all those who keep asking about what is happening with the airdrop: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1608859.msg24041916#msg24041916I'll decide and announce the plans for future distribution around mid-November. But it is already certain that we skip the December full moon.
So, while we haven't received the "around mid-November" update as yet... We DO know that nothing is happening until after December full moon... And no airdrop for December full moon. So... Stop asking! |

... You can't recover any BCH sent to a segwit address starting with 3, I'm not sure if that is even possible, BCH miners would ignore that TX and it shall come back to your wallet.
It IS possible... The miners won't ignore the transaction as you are simply sending to a (valid) P2SH address. The transaction is completely valid according to the validation rules on the BCH network. The network doesn't care what the underlying "script" for the P2SH address is until you attempt to spend it... Which is why you can't recover BCH sent to a SegWit address. |

Correct, type in the command and press enter to execute it. Same goes for step 4.
Note that these commands will ONLY work if you extracted Pywallet to C:\PyWallet directory... And Step 4. Will only work if Python is actually installed correctly.

Might be worth keeping for the moment... If those keys had BTC at 1 August and 24th of October... Which seems likely given you're only just moving them... Then they'll have Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold... Granted, not worth a huge amount compared to BTC, but hey... #freeMoney  |

As you've already stated, the transaction is confirmed... In fact it looks like the transaction confirmed within 5 minutes of being sent! This is NOT an issue with BTC or the BTC network... But Neteller being slow and useless... Or possibly Unocoin screwing up your transaction by deducting the transaction fee rather than adding it to your requested send amount. Assuming that you sent the BTC to the correct address (have you checked the address is correct?)... Then Neteller (or Bitpay at least) have your coins. They need to either credit your account properly, or refund your coins. Which address did you send to? That transaction has a large number of outputs. Also, are you sure you sent the correct amount? If the transaction fee was deducted by Unocoin from the amount you sent, Bitpay would probably have detected that you didn't send enough... And would only have counted it as a partial pay. The issue with this, is that Bitpay are likely to refund to the sending address... Which wasn't "yours"... But a general address owned by Unocoin... Which could make it difficult for them to identify and credit back to your account.  In any case, you'll need to wait for a response from Neteller to find out why the transaction was "declined" |

Just be mindful of the derivation path when importing the MBHD seed... The needs to be: m/0' The apostrophe is important. An easy double check is to look at the addresses generated in Electrum and see if the match the ones generated in MBHD. If the do, and the balance is still zero, it is probably a "gap limit" issue which is easily resolved |

Does that old version of bitcoin-qt not have the "dumpwallet" or "dumpprivkey" console commands? You don't need to be synced to use those. Failing that, if you're familiar with Python/Command line stuff, then I'd recommend "PyWallet", it definitely has a "dumpwallet" command that will extract everything from your wallet.dat. It does not require bitcoind to be synced... in fact, it doesn't require bitcoind/bitcoin-qt at all... just your wallet.dat file Download here: https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywalletBitcoinTalk Thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34028.0As always, remember to only work on COPIES of your wallet.dat |

You'll have to contact Bittrex support and see if they can help. They're the only ones who will be able to see what has happened and where your coins are and get them credited back to your account.

Aside from HitBTC, there is also "changelly.com"... nice little insta-sell if you don't mind the rates.

You mean one "unheard of" antivirus (zillya??!? wtf? ) thinks it found something... while pretty much every other antivirus software says its clean? Every heard the term "false positive"?  when I uploaded the URL it shows:  |

You have a couple of options: 1. You could just install ElectronCash ( https://www.electroncash.org/#download).. then open your "old" Electrum wallet using Electron Cash... it should automatically find all your BCH. 2. You can just export ALL your BTC keys from your old wallet and import ALL of them into a BCH wallet (like ElectronCash)... It won't matter if you import "empty" ones... If you want to just check it out to see what you're going to get... or you really only want to import the ones with coins, you could export the "xpub" from your old Electrum wallet... and then create a new watching wallet in ElectronCash using the xpub... it should find all your addresses that have BCH... you can then find the private keys that match the addresses with BCH. Personally, I would say that there is no need for you to determine which key(s) had BTC and therefore have BCH on them... just import them all either by using the whole wallet file with ElectronCash, or importing all the exported keys into the BCH wallet of your choice. |

Thanks, it got confirmed now. How did you do that ?
Given that it was mined by ViaBTC... I'd say he used this: https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ Their requirements are that your transaction uses at least 10 sats/byte fee rate... and has no double-spends or unconfirmed parents... and of course, that they can actually see your transaction in their mempool After it got propagated properly, ViaBTC could see. The trick with ViaBTC TX Accelerator is they only offer 100 slots PER HOUR... they tend to "reset" at the very start of the hour... so you have to submit inside the first 30seconds of an hour when the network is really busy. |

It is hard to tell what the "actual" fee rate used is... as you haven't specified the data size of the transaction. If your transaction is only 226 bytes, that would make the fee rate 1782 / 226 = ~7.9 sats/byte... if your transaction is 1782 bytes, your fee rate is 1 sat/bye Either way, it is pretty low... as for increasing the fee, you can do that if you enabled RBF (Replace-By-Fee) in your wallet... this requires a setting in the bitcoin.conf file (or commandline option): If you have used that, and you are using v0.15+ you should be able to right click on the transaction and select "bump fee". If you haven't used Opt-In RBF, then you're stuck until the transaction is either confirmed or it drops from the mempool (could take a few days, would need your wallet to be offline to prevent rebroadcasting). Maybe consider using a transaction accelerator? There are "free" and "paid" options... |

It you want lightweight payment processing... without the "third party" aspect, you might want to try "Mycelium Gear" ( https://gear.mycelium.com/) The bitcoins go directly into the wallet of your choosing, it generates "unique" addresses for customers (generated from your wallets xpub)... and apparently it has an API and does callbacks so your website gets a notification if the payment has been made. And it's the low low price of free! DISCLAIMER: I have NOT used this system for live payments on a live website... I hacked up some code and used TestNet to test it out... it seemed to work. I have no idea if this is a "safe" system... or how well it works on a live mainnet system. |

Can someone tell me what are the fees?
They're mentioned in almost every other thread in the "Technical Support" forum these days... These sites will give you a good idea of what is happening with fees: https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-txhttps://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#24hAs mentioned above... fees are related to the data size of the transaction... not the amount of BTC transacted. They should be thought of as a "rate" rather than a fixed amount of btc... (eg. 150 satoshis per byte, or 0.00015000 BTC per KiloByte etc)... not... "ZOMG! I tried to send 0.1 BTC and my fee was 0.01BTC!!!?!". Generally this is what happens when someone tries to spend the 100 or so dust sized inputs they've gathered from faucets or cloud mining etc... and are generating a transaction that takes up like 15,000 bytes... as opposed to a "normal" transaction that takes up about 226 bytes Also, it's worth noting that fees are very dynamic... The system is constantly changing... so just because fees were 120 sats/byte 6 hours ago, doesn't necessarily mean they'll be that now... sharp increases in the number of unconfirmed transactions due to big events like ICOs or Forks or announcements by major Mining pools or whatever can cause sudden spikes in fee rates. So fees basically work on "supply" and "demand"... supply being the limited space available in a block and limited number of blocks produced on any given day. Demand being the number of people who want to make bitcoin transactions. You can track the number of bitcoin transactions sitting in the mempool here... https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-countIt's currently trending down... so fees should be slowly decreasing as the backlog of unconfirmed transactions in the mempool is cleared out and there is less "demand" for the available block space ("supply") |

it was work computer and people did had access, but i don't know if anybody knew my passwords.
You were using your Bitcoin wallet... with FIFTEEN BTC in it... on a shared computer without using a hardware wallet or using just a watching-only wallet??!?  Unfortunately, it really makes no difference now. You can post all the TXIDs and Bitcoin addresses you like. Those coins are gone... That is one very expensive lesson to learn  |

Well the thing is i do not know how to do the encryption thing unless there is a video or steps that show it step by step exactly. Are there videos of that?
I recently heard about this neat thing called " Google"... and this other neat thing called " YouTube"... What forum would you suggest for me to do this? I use windows. For general guidance on Windows OS related matters, depending on the version of Windows you are running, you should check out: https://www.tenforums.com/ or https://www.sevenforums.com/Lot's of Windows experts there with a very good understanding of the OS and various tools/utilities... they also have a lot of "step by step" guides with pretty pictures for doing a lot of Windows related stuff. |

I fear the worst, but can anyone give me a hint as to what I can do if there is anything that can be done?
Unfortunately, your worst fears are most likely correct. If all you did was send coins to Electrum... and there is now a 2nd outgoing transaction, that you did not create, that sends those coins somewhere else... then chances are high that your seed, wallet or private keys have been compromised. If this is the case, there is nothing you can do, those coins are gone Where did you download Electrum from? There have been a number of fake electrum websites in the past. It could also be general cryptocurrency malware designed to steal seeds and/or private keys... You might want to consider wiping/formatting your computer and reinstalling the OS. |
