I am not familiar with BRD wallet.

If your address starts with 1 it's not SegWit. If it starts with 3 it's SegWit compatible, if it starts with bc1 then it's native SegWit address. If you don't know what you do, I recommend 3* SegWit compatible, since many services still cannot send money to native segwit address. How to achieve that? I don't know, but BDR does offer SegWit, but I don't know how.

SegWit allows lower fee indeed, but that doesn't mean you'll pick lower number of satoshi/vbyte, instead the number of vbytes will be smaller.

Tips:
* from what I've read, BRD should allow better fee structure than "low, max,..." but if you cannot find any option to pick more exactly the fee, try another wallet https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet
* before sending a transaction take a look at sites like https://mempool.space/ or https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx and decide better what fee to use.
* if you are not in a hurry, try to send transactions in the week-ends.

1. I think that either me, either somebody else added your TX to ViaBTC free accelerator, I've got the answer "This transaction is being accelerated."
I didn't use the accelerator for long time, but since the time was right, I gave it a shot.
Keep in mind that this doesn't mean that next block will have your tx, instead one of the next blocks mined by ViaBTC will have it.

2. If I am wrong, or for next time you are in a trouble, I think that this thread may worth a try: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5034315.0

Ei, nu fi rautacios , stiam de ambele proiecte de swap. Dar sunt obisnuit sa nu imi fac iluzii pana nu vad ceva ca e gata si merge.


XMR are perioade lungi in care a stat stabil fata de fiat. Dar din pacate asta inseamna sa a pierdut fata de BTC.
Anul trecut urcase pana la 0.011, acum e la 0.0044 adica nici jumatate. Si daca ma gandesc la 0.02-0.033 din 2018... chiar devine deprimant.


Poate mai degraba elita. Dar na, tot e ceva. Poate ca sunt eu doar prea pesimist...


In toate guvernele se fura, nu doar la noi. Diferenta e ca "ailalti" nu se halosesc si sunt ceva mai subtili. Ai nostri sunt si hoti, si ghiolbani, si iti mai si rad in nas cand ii prinzi. Diferenta de cultura...
Si legile, exista si mai proaste decat la noi. Poate cu mai putine portite pentru cine trebuie...


Nu, asta e prostie. Dar s-a vrut/inceput (nu mai stiu in ce an) o campanie in care celebritati spun ca le place/folosesc Monero. Asa ceva poate ca ar fi mers.

Na, poate eram/sunt eu prea pesimist. Oricum, m-ai mai linistit. Multumesc.

I am using for some years "Digital Currency Widget" (org.phaua.litecoinwidget)
It has Bitcoin and also altcoins and you can see the price in USD and also converted to EUR (or other currencies) too.
The update interval goes from 1 to 120 minutes. But I didn't use for such fast interval, I prefer to tap and refresh if needed.

I am not a Mac guy, but I've read some things here that could work for you:
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/57312/how-exactly-do-i-run-the-rescan-command-for-bitcoin-qt-from-console-on-a-mac

At least I expect them get insured, so the only bad thing will be bad publicity (which may compensate today's good publicity).


Anyone not following "not your keys, not your coins" deserve their fate.
However, as I said, I expect that to be insured hence the end-user will not lose money.

Interestingly, nobody mentioned here yet the impact of even more KYC Bitcoins, which imho is a big point since we are talking about a bank.

If you have put an Electrum portable into a new folder, ran it and still doesn't start, even after win reboot, to make sure you don't have anything old hanging in the memory, then I'd say that something is missing/unexpected in your OS.
And in that case your best choice could be the Electrum dev(s) https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues

Eu l-am intalnit mai putin decat obisnuiam, si in afara de ultimele 2-3 luni abia ca se mai vorbea de el.
Daca intr-adevar m-am inselat este o veste super buna si ma bucur mult!


Ma, astia nu stiu cat de mult lucreaza cu guvernul, dar in mod sigur sunt picati in cap. Modul in care si-au tratat in mod repetat userii arata incompetenta la toate nivelurile.
Ca pe langa asta avem si o forma nesimtita de santaj pe banii tai, stiu.


Aici nu ma bag, nu m-a interesat Freewallet absolut deloc, deci nu-i cunosc.


Da, clar. Dar nu dau impresia ca ar opune vreun dram de rezistenta. Parca renunta mult prea usor.


Ehee, prea putini si cam tarziu. A fost anul trecut o discutie despre cum isi dau oamenii si numarul de la pantof pt o reducere de doi lei la Lidl...
Si Monero a si fost un pic anti advertising. Dar acum ultimele luni pare sa se dezghete situatia. Dar vai cat de departe este acum Ethereum...

You could use portable version as a test, but after you found out the problem in your system I advise the installer.
Officially Electrum should work fine on Windows 7+, if you have all the updates made, but I didn't use Electrum with older OS so I can't tell.
However, you asked about previous versions. On the download page there's a link to previous releases: https://download.electrum.org/
Just make sure you don't go back to anything before 3.3.4

LE: Maybe this post/thread gives you more ideas: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5219481.msg53868124#msg53868124

Isn't this the same JP Morgan that pays "Bitcoin is a fraud" and "I regret making that comment" Jamie Dimon?
They are far from understanding Bitcoin, hence it doesn't matter what they say, since it's probably incorrect.

Although it would have been super funny to see them turning from "Bitcoin is a fraud" to actually investing into Bitcoin, we can't actually expect that from such dinosaurs.

Cumva am impresia ca oamenii se si complac. Daca sunt intrebati ce fac cu banii, eventual mormaie in barba, dar maine tot zic ca banca lor e buna.
Vedem aproape zilnic persoane care au Bitcoin si nu se descurca fara plasa de siguranta oferita de obicei de banci, cu niste costuri imense (bani si mai ales privacy).

Si ajungem la Monero. Ideea din spatele Monero este pe cat de geniala, pe atata de bun simt. De ce sa se uite oricine la mine in buzunar, de ce sa vada oricine ce fac cu banii mei?
Totusi, uite ca Monero nu sta prea bine la capitolul utilizare, nu multi stiu ca exista (ma pufneste rasul cand vad "hackeri" cerand Bitcoin), iar asta face mai putin dureros pentru casele de schimb sa soata Monero din oferta, ca nu-i doare atat de mult la venituri. Pacat.
Si inca se mai merge pe ideea ca un portofel de Monero nu poate fi supravegheat sau "auditat", uitandu-se ca proprietarul poate oferi view keys in aceasta directie, daca doreste, lucru care ar putea fi util, cred eu, caselor de schimb pentru a-si demonstra activitatea la nevoie. Ma doare cand vad cum dispare de la casele de schimb, in general fara sa se faca prea multa valva...

Cumva Monero ar trebui sa fie cel putin cot la cot cu Ethereum. Nu la pret, ci la cat de mult este folosit. Dar nu e...

Your expectations were too big.

You are just something small that can bring them some revenue. But they care much more about obeying the rules (as they understand them) and their public image. Hence they will do all they can to avoid the banking system see them as a black sheep.

I mean that yeah, blockchain looks great in the ads, but at the end of the day, they are still a bank. And banks + Bitcoin = anything but love.

They want profit. Profit as actual fiat they'll get when they'll Bitcoin more expensive, profit as advertising/image/public perception as an innovative company.
If a crisis will strike they'll most probably be among the first to sell Bitcoin to protect their assets and maybe buy assets from companies that got into trouble.
For them everything is just another tool for prosperity and power. Don't think that they care of you, or me, or Bitcoin.

We can all speculate, but it's you who should know if there were made transaction afterwards that could have been spending those same inputs, or if the transaction parent is confirmed.

Also, if you got this message from one block explorer, try it on another ones (blockchair.com, chain.so, chainflyer.bitflyer.jp) maybe you get more meaningful info. Keep in mind that many block explorers may no longer have it in the mempool, because of its age and its fee

And yes, as already said, if the tx is not dropped then you can try to increase the fee at least to a level it can be confirmed in the week-end. IIrc last week-end the fees have dropped a few times shortly to about 5 sat/vbyte. The thing is that in "months" I am certain that the mempool also emptied, so I fail to understand why this tx was not confirmed, unless indeed some inputs were double spent.

The list is wrong and deceitful. Sorry. This just lures newbies into losing time and money.
* Day trading is by far not for everybody. One may gain many days in a row, but if he doesn't know what is he doing, sooner or later will lose more than all those gains, since the market is very volatile and hard to predict.
* Mining is expensive and needs extremely cheap electricity. Lists like this can send newbies ask how can they mine Bitcoin with their CPU...
* Investing. One has to have money he can afford to lose, else FOMO will strike and will buy high and sell low.
* Selling.. OK, maybe..
* Yield farming. With so many scams and with current Bitcoin rise it was better and safer to just hold Bitcoin. The DeFi can be interesting, but it's far too young and far too risky.
* Airdrops. Those usually ask for many tasks and pay some pennies here and there. No.
* Surveys. Again, mostly work for pennies. And the result will be only high tx fees when one will want to make use of those Bitcoin

No. It's easier. Bitcoin is money. Plain and simple. Money.
How to get money? Work for it. Whatever you earn and it's surplus, can be kept as Bitcoin. Indeed, if one earns altcoins or fiat, those have to be exchanged to Bitcoin first. But really, that's all.

Actually that is no longer available starting with Bitcoin Core 0.21.0, as you can read here.
The new option available is abandontransaction (but I still have to read myself more on that)

Also OP transaction is from 2020...



The transaction is confirmed for more than 6 months. Wait and abandon are out of question.
I think that what you should do is to make a copy of the wallet.dat (if you haven't) and then restart Bitcoin Core with -rescan. You can read more here.
But if you are in pruning mode that would mean yet another full download of the blockchain, hence I'd wait for more ideas.

Late? Not at all! Bitcoin is still extremely young. Bitcoin is still not known or not understood by most of this world population.
And imho Bitcoin is still poorly regulated making it rather difficult for companies to join the party.
Keep in mind that we are here a rather small group. The world is way much bigger than this.


And I think that compared to Bitcoin, he entered "late" into cars or space industries, but most probably even there he is not late at all. And he's doing a good job.

As said, change addresses are ... just addresses.
The point of having change addresses is to have a new one available every time you need them, i.e. when you make new transactions.
If you add by hand one or two addresses will not really be what Electrum expects (from change addresses point of view)

If you want to get most of Electrum, I think that the better move is to wait for the price stabilize and then the transaction fees drop, and then transfer your coins to an address from newly created Electrum wallet.
Since Electrum is HD wallet, it generates all the addresses from the same seed, so it brings you more advantages. And some of those addresses will be seen as change addresses.

Thank you Best_Change for giving me the opportunity to participate in your great campaign.
The conditions are very good, the way the campaign is managed is also very good, I am sure that this will keep attracting very good posters.

As I've told you in PM a couple of days ago too, I'll be changing now my signature.

Soon^TM:
