I do not believe these developers are malevolent. I certainly think they are incompetent. Whether you get screwed intentionally or by negligence, the end result is the same.
Like the whole "let's configure BitcoinABC so that it installs to and uses the same default data directories as Bitcoin Core" saga... They say you should never attribute to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence...  #noComment |

The last word in a BIP39 seed mnemonic is a "checksum"... basically, it is checking to make sure that you haven't made any mistakes in the word order, or used a different word by mistake. Most wallets will detect if the checksum doesn't add up and tell you that the seed is invalid. Go here: https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/Valid seed: lava tunnel trade release accuse orient swallow make flat cat crime timber Invalid seed (words swapped): lava tunnel trade accuse release orient swallow make flat cat crime timber Invalid seed (wrong word): lava tunnel trade release accuse orient swallow lake flat cat crime timber Try and put in the valid seed, then try and put in the invalid seeds... it detects there is an error. NOTE: DO NOT put your actual seed into that website unless you download a copy and run it offline (read "Offline Usage" instructions at the bottom of that website) |

Like I said... go and look up that Electrum address on a BCH block explorer: https://www.blocktrail.com/BCChttps://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/blockshttp://blockdozer.com/insight/They should show all the transactions for that address and whether or not any BCH are currently controlled by that address. If you don't see the transaction, it's possible the sweep didn't work (hence 0 BCH showing in your wallet) and the BCH balance for the Electrum address should be positive still. If you do see a transaction, you should at least be able to see what BCH address they got sent to. Can you just post the Electrum address here? or PM or something... it's hard to say what has happened without being able to see the addresses and transactions...  |

Can I ask why you're creating a 2of2 MultiSig and putting both private keys in one copy of Electrum? That seems a bit pointless... it offers NO extra security, and just makes things a lot more complicated if you need to export your keys.
Generally, you create a MultiSig with your private key... and the PUBLIC key(s) of the co-signer(s)... why did you create it with 2 private keys?

Did you install and sync Bitcoin Core? Armory requires Bitcoin Core to be installed and fully synced if you want your transactions and coins to show up... a full blockchain on Bitcoin Core is currently around 140gigs...

Hi, thanks for the reply, but unfortunately it still doesn't work.
Ok... now this might sound REALLY stupid... but try setting the password (temporarily) to something ridiculously simple... like abc123 or password and see if you can use the 'walletpassphrase' command successfully... If you have a long complicated password, it might just be that you're typing too fast and mis-timing a "shift+letter" for an uppercase or special character... I've done this quite a few times  |

You're just canceling the airdrop?    I'm pissed off. If you're a professional and you promise/schedule something, then do it... Nobody wants to deal with unreliable people. Imo a bad move to break promises. The crypto technology (in general) is largely unproven, so mostly based on trust. Translation: "wah wah wah... ZOMG where's my free money??!? wah wah wah... I don't give a shit about your cryptocurrency or your roadmap or anyone else... I wAntZ mah Free MONEYZ!!!!?!!1!!?!" Seriously, you typify EVERYTHING that is wrong with the Cryptocurrency world today... *smh* Nobody owes you anything. Put on your big boy pants and dry your eyes. You guys already see the official website now?
It's showing that the next distribution will happen in 29 days (Full Moon, October 5 18:40 UTC)!!!!
You sure about that?  |

Have you tried shutting down and restarting Bitcoin Core after you changed the passphrase? Also, if you have some special characters (or spaces) in your passphrase, you may need to enclose the passphrase in " " (quote) marks...

Ok, So I did some tests on the Bitcoin.com Windows Desktop wallet... and the Bitcoin.com Android wallet. I created a new wallet on the Windows Desktop version and attempted to import this into the Android wallet using the 12 word seed mnemonic. It does indeed START with a different "receive" address. HOWEVER, they are indeed the same wallet... with the same addresses. It appears that the two apps are sharing information somehow (possibly via a bitcoin.com server?) that keeps track of what addresses have already been "generated"... so every time you request a new address, it finds the next "unused" address and gives you that. However, if you go into: "Settings -> 'Personal Wallet' -> More Options -> Wallet Addresses" you will see that the addresses for both wallets are the same (assuming you have used the same seed and same passphrase).   If you were getting a "Recovery phrase is invalid" error, then you must have typed the recovery phrase in incorrectly. |

"Sweeping" just creates a standard Bitcoin transaction, that moves coins from one private key to another. It is basically the same as creating a transaction in Electrum that sends the coins from Electrum Address to Coinomi Address... but you're creating the transaction within Coinomi and using the private key from Electrum to sign it.
From your message... you seem to have:
A. Created a wallet in Coinomi using the seed mnemonic from Mycelium. This wallet has BTC and BCH addresses setup.
B. Attempted to sweep BCH from an Electrum address/private key to one of the BCH addresses in your Coinomi wallet.
Did you get a transaction ID from Coinomi? Have you looked at the Electrum address on a BCH block explorer like blockchair or blockdozer to find the transaction and see what BCH address the BCH was sent to? and checked that that BCH address is actually in your Coinomi wallet?

Try upgrading to v2.9.3 - https://electrum.org/#downloadv2.6.4 is VERY old... and there have been a number of enhancements and bug fixes. "Not Verified" usually indicates that your Electrum hasn't synced up properly. Do you have a green dot in the bottom right corner? or Blue arrows? or a Red dot? |

With a processor that old, you may need to compile your own copy of Armory. The "illegal instruction" error is generally caused by attempting to run Armory on older processors that don't support the instruction set that the newer binaries have been compiled for.
You'll need to clone the git repo for the latest version and compile it yourself.

You'll need to post your logs. Specifically, the armorylog.txt and dbLog.txt from the Armory data directory. (If you're on Windows, this is in the "%appdata%\Armory" directory. Don't post the logs here (they probably won't fit in the max message size)... copy the contents of the log files to https://pastebin.com/ and post a link to the pastebin records here. Also, have you confirmed that your bitcoind/Bitcoin Core node is actually running and syncing properly? |

If there is an account i dont own and i want to know the publickey ecdsa key not the hash160 , taking in consideration that this account didn't output money before so i can't know the publickey from a tx before ,sorry for my bad english  thx Is there a way to know it's publickey which starts with 04 No. The public address is the result of a some SHA256 and a RIPEMD-160 hashes, along with the addition of some bytes here and there... http://gobittest.appspot.com/AddressSHA256 and RIPEMD-160 are both oneway hashes. You cannot get back to the public key from JUST the public address. |

Hi, i can get to the right place by %APPDATA% and find user/roaming/Bitcoin easily, that isn't the problem. What i don't understand is why the wallet file is named wallet and not wallet.dat in a new download of core. If i delete it and replace with my wallet.dat then it just runs core as normal without using the file i have inserted. After i shut down core and have another look at folders, i find my wallet.dat plus a file just named wallet again?.
You might want to check that Explorer is set to show file extensions properly. It is possible that your "wallet.dat" is actually wallet.dat.dat and that the newly created "wallet" is actually wallet.dat and Windows is "helpfully" hiding the ".dat" extension You can check this setting on Windows 10 fairly easily: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/62842-hide-show-file-name-extensions-windows-10-a.html |

So do they have to accept it on their end? I emailed them a couple times, still waiting for a response. And yes that is the correct address I am supposed to send the bitcoin to. It sucks that I can't really do anything on my part except wait I guess
Yes. You will need to wait for them to "credit your account" with the equivalent funds. As the others have stated, the 0.14384925 BTC is 100% confirmed to be in address 1NhawnXd53eV78aDqHoEYsV4m2LZX59aFZ. The blockchain says so Out of curiosity, did you send other funds to that address? Because it has also received 3 deposits in total. It is a little odd for the same address to be given to different users/clients, as it would make it difficult to determine who made what deposit!  |

It would appear that the Google protobuf was not installed correctly... seems like the powershell script may not have worked properly? Anyway, try using this command: C:\Python27\Scripts\pip install protobuf pylibscrypt bitcoin

You can buy it from an exchange or a person or a Bitcoin ATM... To buy from an exchange, you would need to create an account on an exchange (Go and search Google for Poloniex, Bittrex, Kraken, "bitcoin exchange" etc). They'll probably want you to fill in a load of personal information due to KYC/AML regulations. If they support it, you can then wire them money which they will deposit into your exchange account and you can then buy some bitcoin. You then withdraw that bitcoin to an address in your Bitcoin Core wallet To buy from a person, you can use a service like localbitcoins, or goto a local bitcoin users meeting, or just ask random people on the street if they have bitcoins!  You would then meet up, you give them your Bitcoin Core wallet address, they send bitcoins to your address, you give them cash. You can also trade with people online using services like Paypal or bank transfers etc, but that can be quite risky and there are a LOT of scammers and thieves... using a trusted escrow service is HIGHLY recommended. Bitcoin ATMs are pretty nifty. You basically insert cash and it will print out a paper wallet with the necessary information (private key) to transfer the coins to your Bitcoin Core wallet. You then import that private key or sweep it into your wallet. |

i do not sweep transaction that bch coin, and i do not create/send that bch coin.
i only instal electrum, and then run it, then create a standard wallet with private key from blockchain. and then my bch coin gone.
If you didn't send the BCH, then they have been stolen. I have do send that btc coin, but its bch coin I do not know why move to "1MFPQVCARrom9uH1MjtxSGHUSHTd4A3WFw", just because I instal wallet electrum with private key.
the date of moving bch coin to address "1MFPQVCARrom9uH1MjtxSGHUSHTd4A3WFw" exactly equal to the date I enter the private key to the electrum wallet I installed.
This has nothing to do with Electrum. It is because you exported your private key, an attacker got access to the private key (keylogger, clipboard sniffer, screengrabber, bad browser extension etc) and they used that private key to move your BCH to their address. is it when i enter the private key into the wallet electrum, electrum (or bch network) make bch address "1MFPQVCARrom9uH1MjtxSGHUSHTd4A3WFw" then automatically move its coin?, and the bch address can not appear in the electrum because the electrum is not a bch wallet but a bitcoin wallet?. or what really happened . No. Electrum cannot move your BCH as Electrum works on the BTC network only. Sending BTC in Electrum does not move BCH. Your coins were stolen. I can give up the coin bch because the value is not much, but what if it happens to someone else who has a lot of bch coin, if the loss of bch coin is not stolen, but by the errors of the electrum wallet or error from the bch network. and of course there will be a lot of floating coin bch (no one has) in the bch network.
It is not an error or bug in Electrum, or an error or bug in BCH network. The only way for the coins to move is if a transaction (signed by the correct private key) is broadcast to the network. note : the address of the bitcoin wallet formed on the electrum is "1GXe8...LCtbc", why not "1MFPQVCARrom9uH1MjtxSGHUSHTd4A3WFw" and why bch coin not move to "1GXe8...LCtbc" . Because your BCH coins have been stolen. The attacker has then used your private key to move the BCH to their address 1MFPQ... The reason Electrum created 1GXe8 address (and not 1AcQ) is because blockchain.info exports the "compressed" private key... but is using "uncompressed" addresses... If you use www.bitaddress.org and enter the private key that blockchain.info gave your for 1AcQ address, you will see that it matches with the 1GXe8 address. TL;DR - Blockchain.info is broken, full of bugs and exports the wrong version of private keys. |
