Wow, you are amazing! I often visit and check mempool.space. I noticed that transaction fees were regularly started with 0.20 sat/vByte and 0.30 sat/vByte. At first I thought that it was a glitch because I've seen the same before on Mempool and posted here, where I got told that it was a mistake because it's impossible to send transactions with lower than 1 sat/vByte fee. Now I see that what I noticed recently was not a glitch but reality and your tutorials are great for each wallet. I'm gonna test it on both, Electrum and Sparrow. Now it will be 5 times cheaper to consolidate my UTXOs with 0.20 sat/vByte.
There actually was a glitch a few days ago with mempool.space - it didn't show that the fee span for one block was actually 0.1 sat/vByte at the bottom despite multiple TXs at that. That block's info page eventually got corrected after I reported it, but I haven't looked at any more recent blocks to see if the span is staying correct. |

I cannot safely upgrade to a higher version of Electrum without buying a new computer.
Buying a new computer or upgrading to a newer OS? If you don't mind me asking, why is that exactly? What's preventing you to perform the upgrade? I am at the final supported version for my computer. I'm not going to risk bricking it, suffering any loss of original functionality, or having any internal data loss (even with a full backup on external hard drive) trying OpenCore, or to make it a Linuxtosh. |

I'm not going to do that. I've seen the link a few times, it's someone I've never heard of before at Github. His list has only 4 nodes. If anyone's interested to use my node, they'll either find it on Bitcointalk or Electrum will find it on it's own. I've looked up and down the Electrum server list multiple times, yours isn't listed by DNS. Nor IP address, judging by the tracerouted IP. Not on https://1209k.com/bitcoin-eye/ele.php?chain=btc either. |

I cannot safely upgrade to a higher version of Electrum without buying a new computer Although I'm very curious why this is (even on an offline computer I'd expect Electrum's AppImage to work), this should also work for the older Electrum version: In that case the old method should still work. You can set wallet.relayfee = (lambda: 0) in the Qt console, and then the GUI lets you do whatever you want. Create even zero-fee txs. Yeah, THAT method worked for the older Electrum version, I mentioned my upgrade woes specifically because of the plugin adding being an issue. Latest release: Electrum-4.6.1 macOS (11 and higher) |

Just so everyone knows. They will have to copy and paste the command "wallet.relayfee = (lambda: 0)" into the console every time they run Electrum and connect to a server to make below 1 sat/vByte transactions. That's how it is at least for now.
I just wrote the smallest Electrum plugin ever that just runs this command at start. https://files.ninjastic.space/relayfeezero-0.0.1.zipTools -> Plugins -> Add -> Select the zip and install. How to verify I'm not stealing your coins: Just open the ZIP and read the qt.py file. It is a 7 lines very small code which anyone can read and understand.  I thought the installation procedure for Electrum on OSX was to first extract the zip, then copy the resulting folder to Electrum's plugins folder (/Applications/Electrum.app/Contents/MacOS/electrum/plugins according to the Electrum console output of electrum.plugins.__path__) along with the rest of the plugins' respective folders... but when I restart Electrum & open Tools>Plugins, despite being in that top-level plugins folder, yours doesn't appear in the list & there's no add option. (v4.5.8 & I cannot safely upgrade to a higher version of Electrum without buying a new computer) |

Why does Electrum 4.5.8 ignore manually-entered servers & refuse to switch from the connected node in the list, with Select server automatically unchecked? I cannot safely upgrade to a higher version of Electrum without buying a new computer. ETA: Oh, you need to paste electrum.labrie.ca:50002 or electrum.loyce.club:50002 Apparently it regexes out any input without the port.
Do each of you want to do the fork & PR thing to get your servers onto https://github.com/theDavidCoen/sub1sat-node-list ? Mod note: consecutive posts merged |

As for the big companies you mentioned, I think they always try to protect all possible processes, whether it's production or repairs.
Not an excuse for Apple, as they themselves published the process that would be done at a Genius Bar on their own website, they just conveniently omitted that the customer would not be allowed to see it happen & witness no data exfiltration, only firmware password removal. Imagine thinking it's acceptable to order a drink at a bar, and god knows what happens to your drink mixed behind closed doors. |

I wonder how corrupt law enforcement is, where OP lives or could potentially travel to. Theoretically they could have a safe meeting room inside the station & let the data recovery business be done there, then OP would split the ₿ between the watch-only addresses of their own & the data recovery person. Then after confirmation, both could be allowed to leave the station, and neither could rob each other of ₿ immediately - they'd have to figure out where the private keys to the watch-only addresses are. Also, in case the data recovery fails, OP would pay them cash for their effort, which was double-counted & put in an envelope to the side before anything else. There are data recovery services that, for a fee, allow the client to be present during the data recovery process, so I advise the OP, if he is telling the truth, to look for one and try to save his lost treasure.
I once went to an Apple Store to have my computer's lost firmware password removed (had purchase paperwork & the root/only user password - just wanted to reformat the HD & put Linux on it for Blockstream satellite reception) but they refused to let me be present, would only take in the back, and get back to me sometime after it was done. Needless to say, I walked right back out with the computer. |

Unfortunately the most bitcoin-related thing off the top of my head is anti-shipping, as the satellite dish & mounting parts are big & heavy, and I specifically gathered together everything in that set for best value, never to be separated. The second-most related thing is also anti-shipping though... an old PPC iMac that is effectively airgapped/optical or USB drive only, until the new owner gets the wired ethernet working again in Linux... which worked fine when I initially got it and it had whatever Apple OS the previous owner left on it. |
