@BitMaxz Thank you thank you thank you!

It was that it worked, Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy !!!

I'm glad it work but take note don't reuse the wallet that you created from Coinbase it won't never be safe if you are planning to make this BTCpayserver live in your own shop.

For safety purposes, I suggest create a new wallet from Electrum but this time make sure to create it from an offline device a device that is completely disconnected from the internet and don't forget to save the seed phrase or write them down for future recovery.
The only thing that BTCpayserver need is the public master key so that's the only thing you need to copy from your offline wallet.

What do you mean by it stuck in your BTCpay server? I'm a bit confused because BTCpayserver won't generate a wallet for you it asks only for a master public key generated from your wallet.
I stopped using Coinbase since before so I'm not familiar with how Coinbase wallet works what I guess is that you might be generated an invoice from your test payment and the address generated from BTCpayserver might be beyond the Coinbase wallet gap limit.

If I were you next time use Electrum wallet because you can increase the gap limit through the console.
I don't know if you can able to import the seed from Coinbase to Electrum but you can try to import it there just enable the BIP39 and then increase the gap limit use the command below.

Code:
wallet.change_gap_limit(30)

Replace the 30 to 100 or higher until you found the address that was generated  from BTCpayserver.

You can try asic.to but I don't think you can target lower than that since all hashboard are running.

Why not remove 2 hashboards if you want to target lower power?
I'm sure you will get the target wattage that you want from Braiins OS.
84  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Less Risky Modes Of Earning In The CryptoSpace That Should Be Considered. on: June 18, 2024, 11:57:10 PM
If you are staking in your own node then you are far from the risk because you have full control of your wallet the only risk about this is that if the coin you are staking becomes low value or drops in price.
If you are staking directly on exchanges you have two risks you don't own your keys and potential drops in price.

That is why before you stake make sure to do research first before you stake to any project or coin you invest in.

For me, if you want less risk or no risk I guess try participating in airdrops it's profitable when you are rewarded sample those who play tap-tap games in not coin and made a huge reward now they can able to exchange them to major exchanges. You can participate on the same concept like Hamster Kombat but I can't guarantee the airdrop but since you are not investing anything only time spent it is less risky than investing your money in staking.
85  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Help me choose an Exchange & Wallet Question on: June 18, 2024, 11:27:46 PM
No exchanges that you mention above from that link according to them or from that site those exchanges you mention like OKX and Binance are Unauthorised firms.

It's pretty bad you are living in the UK with heavy regulation including EU countries I am not living there so I can't guarantee what exchange you should use.
But if you prefer the exchanges from that link I know a few of them

Code:
gemini
bitpanda
bitstamp
revolut
uphold

Only Revolut is what I experienced to use before but it did not have a crypto option yet at that time right now it seems they do have a crypto tab where you can buy BTC and able to withdraw to a crypto wallet.

About a wallet, since you are looking for secured multi-coin support then only hardware is the best option check the thread below for list of open-source hardware wallets.

- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5288971.0

I have never heard of any hardware wallet that could notify you of upcoming new versions of coins why not just monitor the coin? follow them on X(Twitter) it should be the best source to know about the coin or their official telegram.
86  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can Somebody Tell Me About Instant Exchanges? on: June 18, 2024, 10:45:35 PM
Why not start by telling us first what you want to exchange in an instant?
Do you have two options fiat to crypto or crypto to crypto?

If it's fiat to crypto with no KYC then check the list of decentralized exchanges from this link below

- https://kycnot.me/

For Bitcoin you can buy directly to Bitcoin ATM it should be instant but depends on how much you want to buy because some Bitcoin ATMs have limits if you buy at a higher limit it requires KYC so if you want an instant then you can only buy a small amount of BTC. Check your place at https://coinatmradar.com/ and look for Bitcoin ATM or crypto ATM near you and take note other crypto also supports like Litecoin and ETH.

For crypto to crypto eXcH is one of the fastest no KYC is required but for non-BTC then you can check the list of defi exchanges below

87  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Let me take some useful advice from you on: June 18, 2024, 10:19:42 PM
If you are a trader then why not start printing the history of Bitcoin from Wiki it should give some events and exact prices on that time so that you know what happens every block halving or every 4 years.

Here is the link below

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_bitcoin

Also other books about matering bitcoin can be found here below

88  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Why I Cannot buy these Altcoins off Binance? on: June 18, 2024, 12:03:47 AM
The new UK regulation is to get UK users to fill a risk assessment forms and take a risk assessment test in which I already did and passed on Binance so if Binance did not comply with these new regs then how did binance get me to fill in these forms then  Huh

Well, maybe your issue is just a browser-related issue have you tried to access it with different browsers and devices?
If not try it first but if it doesn't still work instead of using a VPN(VPN is not safe) to bypass some blocked things from the internet you can change your device's DNS to Cloudflare DNS and try to buy these coins again update here if it didn't work.

And since you already have access to Coingecko have you checked the list of exchanges under that coins?

If you can buy other crypto on Binance why not buy USDT and withdraw it from Binance to non-custodial wallets and buy Notcoin or Bookofmeme from DEX those exchanges don't require KYC.
89  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How does the privatekeyfinder.io website work? on: June 17, 2024, 11:32:25 PM
Who knows how this site privatekeyfinder.io generates the private key for the addresses?
I had never heard of this site before so we do not know what is the purpose of using their tools It seems it's just a database with a collection of keys.

I saw that he has a javascript file on his website called privatekeyfinder.js?v=1.0.5. Anyone who has knowledge of javascript, can you tell if this javascript would be able to obtain the private key from the address?

There's no way to get the private key from a public address you will never generate or derive the private key from the public key.
Think deeply if this tool works then expect for the whole crypto collapse.
90  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: advice - issues with current setup on: June 17, 2024, 11:08:25 PM
Why would you stay using Windows that keeps removing any mining-related stuff there might be something in your system blocking your miner which is why you are getting some errors.

If I were you, I would stop mining with Windows OS like others said above I experienced some of these issues before the only solution is to switch to any Linux related OS if you are looking for free then use HiveOS because other mining OS like simpleminer is no longer free after 1 month of trial but also good to test if your issue is related to OS.
91  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Over 100 million players on Hamster Kombat 🤯 on: June 16, 2024, 10:32:04 PM
AFAIK, there are 100 millions people play hamster combat at this moment. Hamster dev has allocated 100 millions to be distributed as airdrop for the hamster combat players. You can calculate by yourself about how big reward is gonna be received by hamster combat players.
I were not even playing this game. Only waiting for hamster to be listed on major exchange, then i can take advantage to buy at the early phase of trade. Im not even hoping a lot from this project.

People were wasting their time to play tihs game. IMO, that's not worth with total allocation for the initial airdrop. Im doubting people will get decent reward from playing hamster combaet everyday.

I took it from hamster's whitepaper which has already published by gateio.

Actually, it's 150 million active players and the interesting part is that the game has some secret codes and daily combo that you can earn millions of hamster coins but based on their Twitter players shouldn't focus on how many coins they own they should focus on profit per hour it is likely a miner but in mobile, you will just use the coin to upgrade your cards from mining tab to increase your profit per hour and they are not releasing any task yet to earn airdrop and it depends on the done tasks not the coin you held.
92  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: a true defi based crypto payment gateway on: June 16, 2024, 10:20:21 PM
Sorry, I thought I mentioned the project, my bad. It's name is Paymento (paymento.io), I found them on LinkedIn. I don't know if they're open-source but yeah it says that it does the way you described here. I think Paymento has a Buy Now Pay Later feature? either that or they're working on it for the future. here's the post on
LinkedIn: ~link snip~

I've done some research in the meantime, and apparently crypto payment gateways are custodial. I'm looking for a non-custodial options and wanted to know if even it is possible or not (I'm not very into the technicality of crypto, I just HODLed some in the recent years and now I want to integrate some gateways with my website, so I'm asking around)

After I checked on their documentation no, they don't have any open-source code. About the feature buy now and pay later feature you can also apply it in other crypto payment gateways as likely the same as subscriptions or if you are using woocommerce you can add this feature buy now pay later.

There's a list of hosted, non-hosted, custodian, and non-custodial payment gateway you can't find it easily on Google but if you search them here on the forum you should be able to find them.
Anyway, here's the list of payment gateway below.

93  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I buy your fear while you panic with meme Im whale 1% the elite whale on: June 16, 2024, 08:51:27 PM
I don't think you can consider yourself a whale unless you really have a huge amount of money to buy the coin or token.
Well, about your advice even a trader do advised to buy only when it drops or is in red since most of these memes are dominated by Bitcoin but it can't push more the price down if there are many supporters or the coin or token has a big community they don't want to see the price drop a lot look at the TON and the recent coin they release called NOT.

As a newbie trader psychology is the hardest thing in trading that is why we see people panic selling but it doesn't mean they are many, only people who sell their holdings are those consumed by fear the only reason why memes drop a lot because they're volatile and it's dominated by BTC.
94  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: Why is it showing me an old Bitcoin price? on: June 16, 2024, 08:35:34 PM
Out of curiosity, I also checked a mycelium wallet in my old device, and I am also seeing the same problem. The Bitcoin price displayed in the wallet is still stuck at $34k despite several attempts to try and refresh the app

When I checked the log, it seems there is a problem when fetching the exchange rates

Here is part of the log.

Code:
2024-05-27 02:12:15.793:INFO:Synchronizing FIO account 2d392067-1459-62ec-b131-aba06c6e51b0: success (6948 ms)

FIO account shows a success but look at the ping it's pretty high and for wapi.myceium.com as you can see it shows 0 ping meaning the wallet can't connect from this site and request the latest exchange rate.

Same here with the Mycelium app on my phone but sometimes it does work it slows down sometimes when I check but at first I didn't update I just tried to change my phone DNS to Cloudflare and the exchange rate hasn't updated yet and still the connection according to logs same as before 0 ping which I think this site wapi.mycelium.com is dead.

Also, tried to ping this domain but requested a timeout and tried to access it with the browser but it showed 404 error.

This might be the reason why it can't request the latest data from Mycelium they should change the source of the exchange rate to another source if they can't provide this data or if they don't want too much traffic who requesting this data they should have a 3rd party source that can provide that data without limit like a sample from coingecko this should fix the wallet app issue.
95  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Is bitcoin mining just completely not profitable for retail? on: June 16, 2024, 07:47:38 PM
Buying BTC does not necessarily mean just sitting on it. Some people will actively trade. Some will sell at the long term. All this depends on the buying price. But the amount of attention that it needs is much less than having to run a farm of miners.
But with bitcoin holding, anyone could buy bitcoin and hold it until it becomes profitable, but again, it is not that simple. In order to earn through holding, an investor should know when to enter the market or buy bitcoin so that it doesn't catch up in the bitcoin price declining, and if done correctly, you will be profitable and successful in holding bitcoin. It's not that I'm against bitcoin mining; it's just that mining is too hassle and cannot be afforded by small investors, while bitcoin holding is more efficient and practical than mining.

I agree there's no problem in holding BTC the only problem is newbies or first-timers when it comes to holding BTC the first problem they will need to deal with is emotion fighting against this is not instant they fear more than those people who already know about BTC once they are consumed by fear it would end up selling their holdings.

Like I said it's not profitable to just holding them you can't multiply the amount of BTC unless like TheUltraElite said you can trade it but without knowledge about trading that's also risky when you enter into trade with a lack of trading skills that's a totally a gamble.

Unlike in mining, you earn BTC but it would be profitable if you really have pretty cheap or almost free Electricity or if you can sustain and hold mined coins and survive for the next blockhalving then you can sell your coins at a high price because we know every 4 years BTC reach new ATH.
96  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Cant find ASIC miner on: June 16, 2024, 07:17:51 PM
Any solution I can try?


Have you tried to press the IP report button when trying to scan it with the software?

I don't know what software you use to scan your miner's IP but like the above said if the VLAN already assigns an IP why not use that IP to access the miner?
If it didn't work try to factory reset the miner by holding the reset button for 5 seconds then release but make sure to run it first for 2 minutes before applying this.
97  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying a Bitcoin paper wallet from a train ticket dispenser on: June 16, 2024, 06:52:40 PM
It seems it's not safe if someone is watching behind you like CCTVs or a person on the line could reuse the paper wallet and import it immediately.
That's the only problem I think is possible that is why those who comment on YouTube got 0BTC.

I hope that we can see a machine like this but with a little improvement about hiding the key on the ticket and you can only see it when you scratch the paper which is way safer than just no hiding mechanism.
98  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Sazmining on: June 16, 2024, 05:50:04 PM
Never heard of this I also tried to search here on the forum but no one mentioned Sazmining I tried to check their site in the whois and it seems the website was registered in 2018 but why I didn't heard them from some people here?

I also checked their old posts from reddit it seems they are offering a mining rig for $99 to start mining Bitcoin that's really suspicious there is no ASIC miners that you can buy with $99 maybe you can buy broken and old units with this amount but it's still really suspicious.

If I were you better stay away from them if you don't want to be a scam.

Check the reddit that I found below they deleted the first posts of some reddit users that tells their business is scam.

99  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Any good alternative to Electrum Personal Server? on: June 16, 2024, 05:11:49 PM
A good alternative is sparrow wallet which offers similar features as electrum does from local setup, remote setup, and pruned node connection.

I don't think that is what he looking for.

Electrum personal server is a personal node with full blockchain that can be used as your private node and as a server in your Electrum wallet if you don't want to use any default server listed from Electrum server list.

@OP there EPS is not the only personal server that you can use there are a few alternatives like ElectrumX and bitcoincore-indexd but these two also are not maintained or no new updates yet if you are looking for an alternative that is well maintained you can check this Electrs.
100  Bitcoin / BitcoinJ / Re: 回复:比特币钱包文件因存储格式问题而损坏 on: June 15, 2024, 10:20:03 PM
My bitcoin wallet is bitcoin core.
Yes, I know.
Would you mind to check or giving a few samples of what the secretkey looks like? Like I said in my previous post if the first character starts with K or L that is a WIF key you can able to import it to any wallet that supports a WIF key like Electrum you can follow the guide that I posted above.

If the first character is different then that's not a WIF key if that's the case you might need to read the list of address prefixes to recognize what's in the secretkey once you found out update here.

Here's the sample of the content of old wallet.dat before just found it on pastebin but it is only secret and it is decoded into hex if yours looks the same as this then you might need to convert it into a WIF key the only working tool that you can convert the secret is by using  the bitaddress tool but it's not safe to use online you need to run it into an offline device for safety purposes.

Code:
#address
    addr = '1AJ3vE2NNYW2Jzv3fLwyjKF1LYbZ65Ez64'
    sec = '5JMhGPWc3pkdgPd9jqVZkRtEp3QB3Ze8ihv62TmmvzABmkNzBHw'
    secret = '47510706d76bc74a5d57bdcffc68c9bbbc2d496bef87c91de7f616129ac62b5f'.decode('hex')
    pubkey = '046211d9b7836892c8eef49c4d0cad7797815eff95108e1d30745c03577596c9c00d2cb1ab27c7f95c28771278f89b7ff40da49fe9b4ee834a3f6a88324db837d8'.decode('hex')
    ckey = '0f8c75e4c6ab3c642dd06786af80ca3a93e391637d029f1da919dad77d3c8e477efd479814ddf4c459aeba042420868f'.decode('hex')

In case the secret is the same as this in hex format and want to convert it then here's the link below
