You don't "send" a key...  Are you trying to export the key? Or send coins from an imported address? Or sweep coins from a private key into your wallet? |

It had been 1.5 months since the fork occurred... To my knowledge, there has not been one instance of anything untoward occurring with the "official" ElectronCash client.
The only instances of loss have occurred due to user error or people downloading binaries from unofficial sources and getting scammed.
If you're paranoid, just create a new Electrum wallet, send your coins to be addresses... Then import the old Electrum seed into ElectronCash and do whatever you want with the BCH.
If you're totally paranoid, then run ElectronCash from a live USB/CD or a Virtual Machine (Oracle VirtualBox is free btw).

Unless you can provide something a bit more descriptive than "it is not working", then it is going to be hard to help. What error message do you get when you try to use the importprivkey command? NOTE: if you're going to copy/paste or show screenshots, be careful NOT to show the private keys!  Also, are you running the Bitcoin Core GUI? If so, try using the console in the GUI ("Help" -> "debug window" -> "console")... One last thing, you know you're not supposed to type the < and > right? Command should be something like: importprivkey 5kad16rvxd538HcsFsvd |

Thanks for the reply. How would I do something like:
if last10bets > x or last10bets < y then
You'd do something like this: if lastBell.Roll >= 50 then
HighCount = HighCount + 1
LowCount = 0
else
LowCount = LowCount +1
HighCount = 0
end
if HighCount >= 10 then
print("10 high rolls")
stop()
elseif LowCount >=10 then
print("10 low rolls")
stop()
end

It boots, but sometimes it fails to start and there is nothing else i can do but shut it down from the power button. Thats why i dont like starting it up in the first place. It no longer starts electrum, and when i tried starting it from the terminal it complained something about the config. file getting an error.
Wait, should it ask for my password when i open the file itself, or only when i ask for the seed/perform operations? It doesent ask the password for opening it.
It will only ask for the password to open the file if the file has been encrypted... which was a relatively "new" feature... so an older file probably wouldn't be encrypted (only the seed/private keys inside it). So, an older file would only ask for password when doing tasks involving private keys or viewing the seed etc) |

If you have the available space (ie. 150GB+ spare) I would shut down Bitcoin Core, rename the current folder (so you have a backup)... and then restart Bitcoin Core and wait for it to download and resync again from scratch... but it's a long wait  I believe if you do this, you will find that Armory will report the correct amount of BTC in your wallet. |

Not sure where you tried to upload those log files to... but those links are broken... try copy/pasting them to www.pastebin.com and post the pastebin.com links here Also, that address: 1H8K5yecLSvwqDsVvj8fLHgFoKfVbstJiz has had 0 transactions on the BTC network, so I think your BTC is still safe in your BTC address here You can see the BCC transactions for that address hereWhen you installed BitcoinABC, did you change the default install location at all? If not, then by default, BitcoinABC does a really "Bad Thing"™ and installs itself to the default Bitcoin Core location and uses the same data directory as Bitcoin Core!!?!  this will overwrite your Bitcoin Core blockchain data etc It's possible your Bitcoin Core node data directory is now corrupted and showing weird stuff to Armory when it scans it... You may need to delete your blockchain folder and start again  Note, you should probably change either Bitcoin Core or BitcoinABC to use a different data directory, or this will continue to happen! |

I'll go ahead and guess that the issue is that your transaction was rejected by the BCC Server you were trying to connect too... The reason you ask? Probably something to do with this...  Fairly sure that even the BCC network requires a fee   Delete the transaction... or restore your seed to another BCC wallet and it should be gone (as it isn't in the BCC mempool)... and you can try and send it again with a proper fee |

Yes, it should... but can you be certain that it IS the original wallet file? 2.5 years is a long time ago... and there is no real way for us to know exactly what you backed up to USB. I still think it might be more likely that you've backed up the wrong file and the wrong seed, it's the only explanation for the fact that your seed is generating addresses that have no coins (and your original wallet file gives you that same seed)... I'm fairly sure that if you opened the true old file with your coins in it, in a new version of Electrum, that your coins would be available. The only way for this not to happen is if your file was either corrupt (but Electrum should detect this and tell you) or you are opening a file that is not the one with your coins in it. At the end of the day, I guess it doesn't really matter... either way your coins seem to be gone Do you still have the original Tails OS on the USB? Does it boot at all? |

The master public key you sent me has NO HISTORY AT ALL. This means, your seed is wrong or there's an issue with the formats changing between the new versions and old versions of the electrum client. The seed format has changed since the first wallet realease, I'd suggest you try this with your seed just to check it. This one supported MPK keys and is the latest one I can find that does (though I didn't do too much of a search, though my seed was generated from 2.6.3). The seed version should not make any difference... Electrum detects "old" seeds and will recreate the old wallet correctly. I've just tested with Electrum 1.8.1 and 1.9.8... Seeds generated with both of those versions will restore into Electrum 2.9.3 just fine. They show up as "Seed Type: old" when you type them in, but 2.9.3 will still generate exactly the same addresses as the earlier versions using the same seed. I dont remember how i did it exactly, but i had like a casascius cold wallet, and i got its private key into my electrum with someones instructions somehow. I honestly dont remember, but ive used electrum to send bitcoins after that from the same wallet.
Based on this little snippet of information... Perhaps it is possible that the OP has created a wallet in Electrum, written down the seed... and then imported the private key (older versions allowed "hybrid" wallets that contained both seed AND private keys) and possibly missed this warning:  Wallet has then been recovered from seed at some point... and the private key containing the coins has been lost |

Third party sites to (re-)submit a raw, signed transaction to the network; sometimes referred to as "pushtx": ... https://btc.blockr.io/tx/push... Currently defunct: You should probably put blockr.io into the defunct section... the entire website (block explorer + API) has been taken down and just automatically redirects through to coinbase now... |

If you go "flat fee"... I would suggest that you implement it as a "random" fee in a "range"... ie. 0.0005 to 0.001 for example (or a range of percentages or whatever)... a simple flat fee would negate some of the benefits of mixing as it would be easier to trace if "money out" was always equal to "money in - fixed fee". I am sure that you would find there is no shortage of folk who would be interested in investing |

Ok, that makes perfect sense. Anyway, I could recover the BTC with the help of the person.
Now I'm also trying to recover the BCH from those same addresses. What would you advise to do to do that? I tried just relaying a BTC transaction on the BCH network to transfer the coins but BCH transactions must have an additional opcode to avoid chain jumping.
It just uses a different signature mechanism to prevent replay attacks... I assume the person that helped you, just gave you a "unsigned" transaction that you then signed and broadcast? If so, just use the same unsigned transaction and sign it with the "BCH signer" instead of the default one... refer: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2070058.0Then broadcast that transaction on the BCH network... try http://blockdozer.com/insight/tx/send or https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/BCC/broadcast/ |

Rescanning is something usually reserved for clients like Bitcoin Core. You don't need to rescan for Electrum.
I think you misunderstand my point about having the wrong seed and wrong file...
2 years ago, you had Wallet A with Seed A and Wallet B with Seed B... For whatever reason, you wrote down Seed B and started sending coins to address(es) in Wallet A... then you backed up Wallet B.
So now, 2 years later... you have Wallet B file with no transactions and no coins... and matching Seed B, which just regenerates your empty wallet.
However, if your current wallet has addresses that you can lookup on blockchain.info and see coins, then it could indeed some sort of network issue with Electrum. Do you have any record of old addresses that you used back when you initially sent the coins?
Under "Tools -> Network", you should see a value labelled "Blockchain"... if the number of blocks is equal to the current block height of Bitcoin Network (485020 at the time of this message) then your Electrum is sync'd OK.
If it is less than that number, then your Electrum is not synced properly. You might need to try a different server

You can easily "combine" bitcoins again... it's not like they are permanently split... if you have 10x 0.1 BTC chunks, you can just send yourself 1.0 BTC and all the 10 inputs will be combined back into 1x 1.0 BTC chunk.

Why he do this ?
Because it is a scam... he only needs 5 desperate people to give him $20 and he has $100. DO NOT buy that file... it's no doubt exactly like that fake wallet file that has been circulating for months/years... someone hacked a wallet file and removed a few transactions so that it looks like the wallet contains loads of bitcoins... but it is effectively an invalid wallet that will never load and does not contain as many bitcoins as advertised. |

I lost my seed for my wallet and my password is not working.
Yesterday my passworked worked but today it dont want to load.
And my seed is gone but I have an account with two factor authentification.
Is there a way I can get into my account?
If your password worked yesterday, but not today then it is possible you are just trying to open a different wallet file... Electrum allows multiple wallet files to be created, so maybe you're just trying the wrong one? When you first start Electrum and it asks for the password, double check the name of the wallet... and possibly try clicking "Choose" and see if there is another wallet file listed. |
