Hi,
I'm not a total newbie, but idiot? Hell yeah!
Using Electrum, I sent about 0.1 BTC, probably with a very low fee. Now the TX displays as unconfirmed in Electrum client, but is nowhere to be found or traced.
ID: 83e89a130ee5524adf85a28feeb5290cd0aa667016d2c6c1b7b875d73823a3eb
It's been stuck like this for nearly 3 days.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Could it be because of double-spending? I had already sent those a couple of days ago, then they re-appeared in my wallet and I re-sent them, but -- maybe -- they just re-appeared in my client without miners losing up their grip (WTF?)
Either way, now I'm stuck.
It looks like the transaction you provided was rejected by at least Blockchain.info's node with the following error message: Transaction rejected by our node. Reason: An outpoint is already spent in [DBBitcoinTx{txIndex=219642845, ip=143.107.116.5, time=1486663997, size=226, distinctIn=null, distinctOut=null, note='null', blockIndexes=[], nTxInput=1, nTxOutput=2}] [OutpointImpl{txIndex=215288751, txOutputN=0}] It does seem to be related to a double spend possibly as it mentions the output is already spent. You could try to setup a new wallet by restoring your seed to see if it rescans and removes the invalid transaction. Not sure if/when the transaction will drop out of Electrum on its own. |

Anyone know if there is an oclvanitygen version that supports the regex search feature like the cpu vanitygen has? Not sure why the oclvanitygen doesn't support this option as it would come in handy when looking for specific addresses or vanities near the end of the address instead of the front.

Yeah, I'd probably want to just order an official one from the manufacturer.
However, you will mostly likely fine as long as you reset/upgrade the firmware before using the device to ensure it was not tampered with. I believe Trezor would give you a warning for unsigned firmware anyhow.

what's your opinion on ledger blue?
Its a littttttttttllllleeee expensive when comparing with nano S and trezor...
I'm willing to buy a hardware wallet too but don't know what to do... trezor 2 will be available when? is it worth buying trezor 1?
They are shooting for Q2/2017 as far as I know for the Trezor 2. I guess it depends on how soon you want the Trezor on whether its worth it to wait for the Trezor 2. I'd personally probably wait for the release of Trezor 2. |

I'm sure this issue will be fixed, be patient. Primedice sounds and seems like a legitimate credible gambling site so there shouldn't be any worries ☺
What do you mean be patient? It has been over 5 days now. Bitcoin price has dropped $100 overnight and I am down over $3500 just from that because they keep dicking me around. YOU give me $40,000 of your money and sit in limbo waiting while the value goes down and we will see if you are patient. As i said. If you turn out to be legit. And we held your money by mistake you will get huge bonus for the inconvenience. Edward or stunna will have decision on your account very soon. As I've said, there is no reason to hold my money over a 4 bitcoin win. I could understand if I won like 50 bitcoins or some crazy amount but I didn't. I was referred to your site by a few people who said it was a good site. Apparently they have never won and had to go through this bullshit. I have emailed both stunna and edward and have not received a response. Support has said many times that they are waiting on an admin, how many are there? Nobody is giving me any answers. This is a lot of money and really fucking me up by it taking this long to send. If you guys do not have the funds to payout a win that big or something at least communicate with me about the problem and we can divide up the winning payments into a few smaller ones or something but holding all of my money including my deposit is complete bullshit. People have bills and this is really messing me up. As I've said in my recent message to support, I want this resolved today. Have the owner or whoever contact me. If this is not resolved today I will escalate this and pursue other measures. You can't just steal people's money and give them a runaround. Is this resolved now or are you still waiting for your BTC? 1150truck has a right to be frustrated about this because his money is being held. Hopefully, this will get resolved immediately. No, this has still not been resolved. I have received nothing yet. I haven't even received a real response from the site owner or anything. All responses have been bullshit and from their support ticket system, each one says "please be patient" and "wait for admin" but this has been over 5 days now. I have emailed both "owners" that support has given me email addresses for and I have messaged stunna on here a few days ago - ZERO responses. Same bullshit runaround. Well if we see the past of primedice. Stunna never hold someone's btc if the user didn't cheated the game. If you are clear to go (proved fair rolls) your bitcoins will be released soon. There are many examples of it in the past that users cheated the system but because of edward they caught one user who was actually cheated the system. Point of saying all that is that they are just testing your bets and seeds. If you haven't cheated the system and your rolls are fair, you will be get paid soon. He only won like 4 btc profit though. I'm not sure that really qualifies as enough of a win to do a 5 day investigation into his rolls. |

Does that wallet have any funds in it you are trying to use? If not, I'd recommend just creating a new wallet and saving the new seeds/password and you should be good to go.

Where are you placing the Electrum application? Are you placing it within the Applications directory? If you aren't, try placing it there and see if it stays.
Ok, Just got off the phone with apple. You were right. It had to go to the applications folder but I was trying to slide it where it would go alphabetically and they had me slide it into the white area of applications. Now I just have to figure it out. Thanks for the help. Oh nice. Glad you figured out what was going on. Once you did that, everything seems to be working and it remains across reboots? |

Yeap, it seems to have fixed already. We will research some more about it  Yep, it seems to have been fixed shortly after. I'll send you a message with the error I was seeing in case its helpful. |

Wow, over a 3 day hold for a 4 btc win? It is a bit strange that they are asking so many questions and delaying the withdrawal for this long, especially for just a 4 btc win.

It seems there is an error with the English chat channel as no messages load and I see an error message pop up in the console when it tries to.

Thanks, but my question is why the 9.95 was sent in the first place. I only authorised a payment of 0.04 btc between two addresses.
Edit: I found the 9.95 I sent to myself. Apparently it's now in a ''change address''. Bit confusing, but I'll not even try to bother understand. Case closed!
When you have an input with 10 btc and you only send 0.04, it has to break up the 10 btc input into your send of 0.04 and the remaining balance less the fee is sent to a change address. By default, it sends the change to a new address to help improve privacy a bit, but this can be configured in the options I believe if you wish for the change to go back to the same address. |

Be sure to enable the Dynamic Fees option in Preferences and move the slider slightly right or to the far right for the fastest confirmation times with a slightly higher fee. In order to speed up the confirmation, I'd recommend adding your transaction to the Via Accelerator at https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ when it hasn't yet reached the limit for the current hour. I attempted to do it at the current time, but it looks like it has reached the 100 transaction limit for this hour so you'll have to try it a bit later. Edit: I attempted to run the TX through the accelerator since the hour reset and it says it doesn't exist. You may want to try pushing your other transaction through to see if it works. |

Start off by saying this. I read other posts in this forum, and noticed that setting the default dynamic fee (.0005 btc/kb) is not nearly enough to confirm in a timely fashion. So I understand why it didn't confirm, and that I pretty much can't do anything about it at this point except wait for the transaction to become inactive and the funds are released.
That being said, I notice that dynamic fees only go up to .001 btc/kb, where I've read that the recommended fee is .001 to .0011. Is there a way to increase the fee slider past .001?
Dynamic fees estimate appropriate fees based on how fast you wish for the transaction to confirm and it does a pretty good job. Setting the slider to the far right is as high as you can make the fee go as far as I know but I haven't had any issue with fast confirmation times when using it in the far right setting. |

A related question:
What is the seed for the pseudo random number generator which creates the Electrum-seed?
Under normal circumstances I would just use the system time. But this would be a very bad idea here because then any attacker could just brute force over all time stamps (which are in seconds or milliseconds) of some day in the past and check for the generated seeds whether they are used, isn't it?
So from where comes the seed for the seed?
(I haven't looked into the code because I assume this would be too much effort for me to understand.)
It uses the Operating System's random number generator as shown in the https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167276.msg1746905#msg1746905 reply. I looked at the code and it looks like it uses ecdsa.util.randrange which uses os.urandom as the main source of entropy. This function returns random bytes from an OS-specific randomness source. The returned data should be unpredictable enough for cryptographic applications, though its exact quality depends on the OS implementation. On a UNIX-like system this will query /dev/urandom, and on Windows it will use CryptGenRandom() I don't think there is any reason to fear that someone would be able to generate the same seed. |

I'd recommend enabling Dynamic fees in Electrum under Preferences. This is much better at estimating fees and you can better control how quickly the transaction will occur using a slider. I'd recommend running both of your txids through Via's Accelerator at https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ which should help speed up the confirmation time if Via mines a block. Dynamic fees was already enabled ? Okay thanks, what is via accelerator ? Where did you have the fee slider set to then? If you want a fast confirmation, you should try moving the slider more to the right. All the way to the right will be within 1-2 blocks usually but is also the most expensive fee rate. Via Accelerator is a feature which allows Via ( a mining pool ) to include your transaction in the next block that it mines. This is useful for help speeding up the confirmation of transactions that had lower fees in them. |

As mentioned above the Electrum wallet is open source and not trusting the developer cannot be an issue as you could compile and review the source code yourself , think of it logically even If you don't know Python , somebody else would find the backdoor If there was any. The developer of the wallet is also known in real life so doing such a thing will only result into going to jail and I don't see why he would take this risk.
Yeah, this is definitely true. The code is open source so you can see the functions that generate the seeds and private keys to verify they are indeed random. You would of course have to have some programming experience to be able to understand the code, but the fact that the code is open source, means that many other people have reviewed the code and any issues would have been brought to light by now. |

I am fairly new to linux and also ArchLinux so correct me if i am wrong but when i was checking the Packages section an Archlinux website i realized that there is an Electrum package there but it is signed with a different key (0xE711306E3C4F88BC) belonging to "Timothy Redaelli". * all releases have always been signed by ThomasV (0x2BD5824B7F9470E6) as far as i can remember, and there is no mention of the other key anywhere that i could find. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/electrum/I wanted to know if am missing something or does he have any affiliation with Electrum project and is the packages safe? I believe that "Timothy Redaelli" is simply the user who created the Archlinux package for easy of use and bundling of Electrum into Archlinux. Have you checked the actual executable within this package to see if it was signed by Thomas V? It is likely that the package is signed by Timothy and the actual executable is still signed by Thomas V. If not, you can always just download and install Electrum from the official website. |
