9141  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stop paying crazy tx fees(!) I paid only 1.9sat/B when pool asked me for 100+ on: April 18, 2019, 03:28:32 PM
how long it will take until that bitcoin lending on your wallet?
i think high fee make it faster than your costum fee. actually i usually using recomended fee
What usually determine the time a transaction will be totally executed is  but as the topic says, some people are scared that their transaction might be stuck which lead them to paying ridiculous fee


The status of the mempool with the level of the transaction fees used are what determine a transaction are totally executed but here's different between high fee and ridiculous fee and people who dont or check the status of the mempool before setting a high fee will definitely pay crazy fee as the OP said.
Which is why electrum wallet is the best in sending cheap transaction cause all you have to do is download>Install>to Tools>preference>Fees under the fees estimation set it to mempool which will allow the wallet to send all your transaction base on the mempool status.
Before installing, you need to make sure that you have verified the signature. This will ensure that you are going to install the authentic Electrum wallet. Some people skip this stage and risk themselves to be a victim of phishing Electrum software. I am seeing many of them these day.

Here is a recent one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5133262.msg50658286#msg50658286

So, please verify the the downloaded software even if you download it from the official website.

Cheers :-)

I will not bet today by the way. I promised to myself LOL
What's the reason? You are losing morr than you guess?
~snip~
Not confident about which team will win and also yes I lost too much in the last two weeks so I am in very tight budget LOL It will be hard for me to lose more while not much confident about my pick.

I am also favouring Pant. In the last match he was playing a monster innings meaning he is well ahead then MI's bowlers. He may hit big today as well. Only around 15 minutes to go.

Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to bat. It will be an interesting chase for  DC if MI score a good total.

Another one of my favorites, Tsitsipas was beaten by Medvedev, 6-2, 1-6, 6-4.

Djovokic had a easy day, disposing Fritz, 6-3, 6-0. Thiem is fighting hard in the first set, down 0-5 against Lajovic. While Nadal up 6-0 in the first set against Dimitrov. Fognini vs Zverev in the next 40 minutes.
How are you doing bud?

I am missing my Tennis days but now a days I am busy watching this IPL cricket (and also losing bets LOL). Few more days to go then I will be back with my Tennis addict :-P

Good to see you guys are keeping it up.

Well, sad thing... i hope karma strikes back for the hacker.....

Which hardware is recommned?
I am using Leger Nano S from over 2 years if I am not wrong. Never had any problem however these days I do not use it anymore. I feel more comfortable and safe with a multiSig wallet like I mentioned on my last post.

I see jackg also gave the same suggestion.

You can try it in two different device. Never save the details of both in the save device. This tutorial will help : https://bitcoinelectrum.com/creating-a-multisig-wallet/

They explained 2/3 however you will be find with 2/2.

Hope it helps.

When you are handling crypto it's always recommended that you deal with extra care. It's really frustrating to see people are losing their coins because they did something wrong and their coins are long gone.

When you are dealing with a desktop wallet like Electrum, there are few things you need to ensure:

1. Download from the official site. : https://electrum.org/#download
2. Before installing please please please make sure that you have verified the signature to ensure the authenticity even if you download it from the official site. Tutorial: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/
3. Now you are good to install and use.

To ensure extra security this is what I do,
Instead of keeping my coins in a simple standard wallet, I create a 2/2 multi sign wallet and each key I keep in two separate computer. When I send a transaction then I access both computer to sign the transaction. I understand it's extra hassle but it ensure my coins not to be steal by accident.

By the way, you might miss to read this as well: Electrum vulnerability allows arbitrary messages, phishing

Sorry for you loss bud. I hope you have not lost much.

Anyone want to predict the winner for today's match? It's a tough call actually. The Capitals are not doing that good, but they have an advantage against the MI. It will be interesting to watch Rishabh Pant, after the snubbing he received from the selectors. I would go with DC for today's match.
I will go with Delhi Capital. Pant has not performed well in last few matches however may be, he will have another good knock (78 out of 27 balls) like the previous match against Mumbai. Nothing is not even close to reality obviously.

It's interesting to see how IPL matches are turning 180 degree almost in every matches. You think team A is doing very well and is going to win the match easily but after the last ball to bowl, you find the winner is team B who were losing the match by every possible calculation.

I will not bet today by the way. I promised to myself LOL

~snip~

you're welcome Roll Eyes
that picture looks like Electrum in which case those numbers in MB (15.74 MB) seem to be the size of the total transactions that are paying more fee than you based on the fee that you paid (1 sat/byte). i believe Electrum refers to it as "Target from the tip"! and it is basically what i explained above.
So the lower size it will show here the more chances that my tx is going to be picked soon?

I hope I am not asking too many questions.

Thanks in advance again.

Yes, micg is a guy who deserves a "merit source" rank more than anyone else.

He is good hearted, he is active and more importantly, he would never use the rank to his own behalf.


Theymos, make him a source!
I observed in WO, that's how these guys hang out with each others. They are lively and full of fun.

Make this guy a merit source.

Look at his achievements. He earned a lot of merits and so far a lot of people already vouched for him.

The community wants him to be a merit source. So, far I have seen only one negative energy and the rest want him to be a merit source. So be it.

Don't forget the party after you get it :-P
I mean let us know :-D

It's a fact that Dhoni may have poor strike rate but whom else do you think fir for that position, with all of his experiences, tactics? You know there's no other option. Kartik will barely play better than Dhoni. KL Rahul isn't too performed as well as not experienced. Whom do you think better fit for the place?
Some people just don't understand the importance of MSD which is why they underestimate him whenever he fails and he replies in an epic manner always.

There are a lot more important factors when compared to strike rate like Dhoni's experience(He freaking lifted a World cup in both formats), amazing batsman, lightning fast wicket-keeping skills, ability to stay calm and composed and the list goes on. Kohli is lucky to have by his side!
And don't forget in the field, most of the time you will see Dhoni is actively advising the players. Kholi is the official captain but in the field Dhoni's role is more than a captain.

Check IPL performance of RCB. RCB has a very strong team. All are performer but why are they failing. Bad management, bad calling. Kohli takes bad decision and we are seeing the result already. They are out from the tournament losing 7 matches out of the 8 so far if I am not wrong.
9150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Now FREE to JOIN] IPL 2019 Prediction Pool and discussion on: April 17, 2019, 06:02:56 PM
Looks like I made the right decision by betting on SRH today. They won the game quite comfortably in the end. Their middle still is under-performing currently. Looks like they are still in the race. CSK lost another game at last.
And I am lucky that I did not bet or I would go for CSK and lose more money LOL

Yeh, good to see SRH to win and kept their chances high however it's againg Jonny Bairstow. If he would not score then we could see different result. Like I said when Bairstow performs they do well. In fact it's not about Bairstow it's their middle order. Their middle order is failing.

Same is happening with CSK. Both team needs to improve their middle order.

By the way, does anyone have the winner in mind?
I think it will be CSK again.
9151  Economy / Lending / Re: 0.07 BTC, REPAY 0.082 BTC on: April 17, 2019, 05:56:43 PM
Am seeking a loan of 0.07 for my son's medical bill, anyone willing to fulfill i'll forever be grateful. Am also open to terms.

Loan Amount: 0.07 BTC
Loan Purpose: Medical Bill
Loan Repay Amount: 0.082 BTC
Loan Repay Date: May 15,2019
Type of Collateral: 0.5 Eth
Bitcoin Address: 3BWHuwUgrCaXw3RENQSYfQm2DSKAywUpmq
0.5 Eth is 0.016BTC



A collateral needs to be at least 120% of the loan you are asking for meaning you need to have at least 2.64 ETH as collateral. This is minimum I am saying by the way.

Please read here : The Rule of "No Collateral, No Loan" - IGNORE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
This might help.

I will have final selections in the next hour or so. To also those who didn't make it, I'm sorry that I couldn't accept you. There were a lot of people who I would accept in a heartbeat if the campaign had enough open spots, which we unfortunately do not. It doesn't mean your posts are bad; they just weren't what I considered to be the best. (and if you only post in English boards, note that I am focusing on accepting more Local posters this round).

You don't need to be sorry, it's okay bud. You gave your best and I see you are doing great job with your picks.

I don't post in my local board any more or I think I could have a chance. Anyway I hope someday you will be looking for gambling boards LOL and I think I will be a good competitor then :-P

(Gamblers do spend a lot of money. They always have cash-flow moving from one account to another. May be ChipMixer can target gamblers to get more customers :-D Just a thought, never mind. )


Congratulations to those who made it to this round.

You were right. They ended up at 132 thanks to some awesome death bowling by Bhuvi which I have noticed after quite sometime. This total seems quite easy to chase unless SRH messes up thanks to their middle order once again. Lets see what happens.
Oh yeah LOL
SRH also have the same problem. So far I have seen as long as Bairstow is in the pitch their scoring rate is good even Warner struggles to cope with the require rate.

It will be interesting to see if SRH lose Bairstow and Warner early.

Let's see.

I picked CSK though in the pool. I am not betting today.

Big ground and decent bowling attack in ipl ruins the party for batsmen and spectators.
Sometimes I enjoy the bowlers bowling cleverly and batsman is missing it constantly to hit. Rashid's third over was a very good one.

to do that you need to know the block size nowadays is around 1.1 MB to 1.2 MB so you simply find the ~1 MB line which is currently at 7 satoshi/byte and that is the minimum fee you can pay to get a high priority transaction.
~snip~
Thanks bud for this detailed explanation. I have this question left,



What is this size on the right next to the sat/B and I mean how it's calculated?

Thanks in advance again.

As i have mentioned above that Dhoni is suffering from back Spasm.

After a good opening the other batsman are not able to bat and it shows how much Dhoni is needed to guide CSK. but even if they lose this match nothing will effect as they are very safe with 7 winnings
CSK really needs to figure out what is going wrong with their middle order. If you analyse their previous innings then you will see almost in all matches they suffered in the middle order. In few matches Dhoni saved the team and in the last one Jadeja saved the team and won the match.

Today they could easily score 180+ runs considering the run rate they had at the beginning but now I think they will not be able to score ever 135 runs.

And I am pretty sure about it LOL

I do not see any other reason for him to ask for loans after all these happened with marcotheminer unless he ask for very very big amount. :-P
9158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Now FREE to JOIN] IPL 2019 Prediction Pool and discussion on: April 17, 2019, 03:46:33 PM
5th wicket down for CSK.

I like both these two teams but performance, achievement-wise I will keep CSK ahead. CSK had a good start today but seems like they lost their road losing these few quick wickets. Do you guys think that they can recover today and can put a decent total?

Where is Dhoni? Is he talking rest?  

Edit:
Okay I know now :-)

Why mods did not ban "permabanned" that account? ---->  If it was a "phishing/malware" links, he must be banned, or was it due to spam? Huh
I see the last post he made on the same day I posted this topic. His post history archived http://archive.is/xIFd3 (last post on the 15th)
So not sure if he is banned or not.

I think according to the rules it's not ban worthy, I mean I can not find anything that can ban him.

He is a scammer. If I am correct I think this is the user: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=197593 .

IIRC I think he was involved in stealing funds from brainwallet addresses. He has a good technical knowledge but chooses it to use it for his own to steal funds.
It's him. Here he himself wrote that this is his alternative account.
