What are you trying to do?

So, Electrum is opening normally? The issue happens when you try to open an already existent wallet file or restore your wallet through the wizard with the seed?

What exactly happens?

Literally posted above. Just run these commands.

Or if you really want a video: https://youtu.be/6EVmp8gAqYA

Also, stop creating multiple threads. A single one is enough.

I'm using bitcoinaverage.com's API.

Done. Now there is an ticker option (default is USD).

Since I noticed I would need to start adding a lot of params (like/this/and/it/would/be/huge/and/weird), I've added it as a query param (?ticker=USD).

Example:
https://btc.ninjastic.space/price/1250/ff0000?ticker=EUR

You can use USD, EUR, AUR, BRL, etc...

@OmegaStarScream done!

I've increased the default size a little bit, added an option to choose a custom size and the usd to btc endpoint.

New format is:
https://btc.ninjastic.space/balance/ADDRESS/HEX-COLOR/SIZE for address' balance.
https://btc.ninjastic.space/price/AMOUNT/HEX-COLOR/SIZE for usd to btc.

(color and size are optional)

 

Can you try again? Maybe it was because I enables HTTPS but forgot to change my urls. (also try ctrl + f5 to clear your browser’s cache)

It’s showing up fine for me.

It’s not irrelevant. I can work on that.

It also makes sense since I named it "Bitcoin Price Image".

Hmm... it’s working here. Can you try opening it directly?

Scams are not moderated. Just tag them and move on.

No one should be that naive to give any of them a loan, but they can keep trying.

Now back online!

Inspired by btc-priceimg.herokuapp.com, I've create a (pretty much identical) page that generates an image with the address' current balance.

Why?

Because the original one doesn't accept bech32 addresses (they use Blockchain.info). Mine uses Blockstream's API, so bech32 addresses are allowed.

How to use it:

BItcoin Address:

USD to BTC: (new)

EUR to BTC: (new)

Options:
color, size and ticker are optional;
default color is black;
default ticker is USD.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

I've made my own "bitcoin balance image" server that also supports Segwit addresses (bech32 included). In case you want to use in your script.

Are you sure? I may be wrong, but I remember an user saying that he got a payment (that was after the ban ended out).

Unless... he verified his wallet files...

We need to tell them to make an habit on verifying their files REGARDLESS of from where he downloaded the files from. If it was from a link that popped up in the official wallet, a random website, or if satoshi himself came to his house to give him a file. It doesn’t matter. VERIFY.

? The user downloaded a fake Electrum from http://goelectrum.com

If he knew how to verify a file signature, he could have downloaded it from a porn website that he would knew the file was fake. I think that’s a better approach than simple telling the user to not use the wallet after all.

See this list for good privacy-oriented email providers: https://www.privacytools.io/providers/email/

ProtonMail seems to be one of the "bests" of the list. I use them as well.

Don't use Stylish...

For reference: "Stylish" browser extension steals all your internet history

Use "Stylus", a Stylish fork but without any tracking or analytics.

So... I'm asuming you had the private key and used it to import the address, right?

Glad to hear that.

I recommend that you create a new wallet (preferably with a trusted desktop wallet, like Electrum), SAVE YOUR BACKUP SEED, and move your coins to it.

Make sure to verify your file signature to make sure they are legit: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/

Só foram banidos aqueles que tiveram pelo menos 1 report válido enquanto usavam a assinatura da Yobit. Agora, já que foi totalmente possível ter "falsos-positivos" ali no meio (tanto que teve pelo menos um), o usuário poderia ter apenas criado outra conta pra contestar seu ban (como aconteceu).

Outra coisa, o ban do Yobit foi de apenas (se eu não me engano) 1 ou 2 semanas para os usuários com 1 report (e 60 dias para a assinatura em sí).

O ban do vit05 foi permanente, então eu chutaria que foi por plagiarismo - já que aconteceu no momento em que um usuário criou um bot pra detectar plagiarismo nos posts e causou um banimento em massa de vários usuários (inclusive usuários "famosos"). E como ele não contestou, provavelmente foi um ban válido.

Do as explained above and download Electrum’s latest version.

Don’t forget to also verify your file signature to make sure the files you downloaded are legit. Make this an habit and you won’t regret: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/

I assumed that because how else would you do that if the computer isn’t connected to the internet? Isn’t that how air gapped computers/cold wallets work?

Also, why would it take 5-10 minutes if not that way?

É outro “bot de trading”. Acontece que uns sócios da empresa liberaram umas conversas com o “CEO” da empresa falando que nunca teve arbitragem e que dos supostos 120 BTC investidos pelos usuários, so havia 20 BTC na carteira.

O CEO (que aparenta ser um sociopata meio alterado) teria então pago um laranja pra armar ter comprado a empresa, tirando o dele da reta pra quando tudo caísse. Mega TLDR ai.

Edit: trading bot e não arbitragem

Make sure to verify your Electrum files after downloading it. That’s what matters and not an anti-virus flag.
