Hello

is there a way in Electrum to show the amount of a transaction in USD or in an other currency before confirming the transaction?
The same with the fees.


Thank you!

Hello,
 
to my knowledge a large Bitcoin transaction does consume more "space" on the blockchain than a small BTC transaction.

Why that?


Thanks!




PS
I do know that hasing is used, e.g. to verify the integrity of a file.

Hello

does it make a difference if the sender tranfers BTC funds to my Wallet address or to my Public Key?


Thank's in advance!

Hello

Is there a possibility to copy/paste the wallet address to the clip-board in order to copy it afterwards to an SMS?
(or even better if the SMS app would be started automatically


I do know that SMS is not really secure, but better than email and i think it will certainly be ok for my needs...


Thank you!

Hello

what infos do I need from the "payer" in order to be able to start a Child-Pays-For-Parent (CPFP)?


Thank you!

Hi,

is it possible to have Electrum returned change back to the paper wallet?


Thanks!



PS
I heard that this is not a good idea when it comes to privacy.

Hello forum

for the case I would loose my hardware-wallet, is it enough to restore the 12 word seed to an other hardware-wallet,
or do i need to transfer my Satoshis to an other address asap as well?

Thank's a lot!

Hello forum,

I started sometimes ago with the BRD wallet on Android (yes wrote down the 12 word seed:)
and now I intend to switch to Electrum (on Tails).

Now I heard that those 12 word seeds are not necessarily "compatible" with other wallets?


Is this really the case?


Thank's

Joe

 

Hello forum

in one of my former posts, a user metioned that "I should stay away form Electrum if i want any privacy"


What's the reason about this statement? And is there really an open source alternative?


Thank's a lot!

->It will work. Or else, you can also use both within the same instance, and changing
->your Tor circuit everytime you change your wallet. I would advice you to stay away
->from Electrum if you want any privacy though.

Hello forum,

I heard that  spending different outputs together should be avoided, if anonymity is an issue and using entirey different wallets
is a way to do that :-)


Would it be ok boot Tails and to start Electrum (without persistence), "restore" funds by entering the 12 word seed, make transactions, than
reboot Tails restore my other 12 word seed for my second "bitcoin profile" and so long?
Of course this is not very comfortable, but  for for my needs probaby ok:)


Thank's a lot!

Hello

What is the most comfortable approach to share my bitcoin-address - maybe by QR-code - to somebody who wants to transfer
Bitcoin funds to my Electrum-wallet (on Tails (without persistence) ?

Thank's a  lot for any feedback!

Joe

Hello forum,

Is showing unspent outputs among multiple Bitcoin addresses an important wallet feature? Why?


Thank's a lot!

Joe

Hello

After how many hours a transaction was made without receiving a confirmation, it's recommended to intervent?


2.
Is it possible to define a new output with a higher transaction fee (in Electrum on Tails)?


Thanks!

Joe

Hello Forum

- once a Seed is offline created, can I go online with it (using Electrum on Tails)
  or would that defeat the purpose of offline seed creation?
 

- do you overwrite your Electrum-wallet backups on the removable offline storage media
  or shoud different backup-version be stored (e.g.:  wallet-bu_2021-04-01, wallet-bu_2021-04-06)?


Thanks!

Joe

Hello Forum


- does the wallet-backup of Electrum contain the seed too?

- does Electrum use strong encryption for it's wallet backups?
 

Thanks!

Joe

Hello forum

As I understand a hardware wallet does "only" store private keys...

But what happend if I am going to loose such a hardware wallet: Can the Bitcoin funds be
restored with the 12 word seed?


Thanks!

Joe

Hello forum,

To me as a beginner, the BitBox2 hardware wallet seems to be the most advanced.
But there are very few BitBox2-HowTo's and other guides. In addition the
support-staff doesent seem to be very talented.. But probably I am the problem:-)

Should I buy a BitBox2 or look for (probably cheaper) alternatives?


Thank's for your help

Joe

Hello Forum,

Is there any "Blockexplorer" with the possibility to define a date as well, e.g. 2020-12-31 (for the case I should know the value of my Bitcoin-funds at the end of year 2020) ?


Thank you!

Joe

Hello forum:

Some years ago I bought a Bitcoin paper-wallet at a Bitcoin ATM, for about 100USD.

Checking the public-key at it today at Blockchain.com/explorer does return the following infos:


There are 2 blockchains with result(s) to your search 1GBfakefakfakefakefakefakefakefake:
BTC Address
BCH Address


BTC Address:
Address:    1GBfakefakfakefakefakefakefakefake
FormatBase58:   (P2PKH)
Transactions:   1
Total Received$:5,553.50
Total Sent:   $0.00
Final Balance:   $5,553.50


BCH Address:    qznxfakefakfakefakefakefakefakefake
FormatBase58:   Unknown(UNKNOWN)
Transactions:   1
Total Received: $50.71
Total Sent:   $0.00
Final Balance:   $50:71



Questions:
- What does the BCH-transaction of $50:71 mean?

- is it recomended to post a public key in this forum?


Thank you very much for your feedback!

Hello forum

I intend to start with 1 BTC-transaction per month. Instead of installing Electrum on my
rooted mobile, I am going to use the built-in Electrum of Tails


Upon starting Electrum in Tails, the following message is shown:

"Persistence is disabled for Electrum
When you reboot Tails, all of Electrum's data will be lost, including your Bitcoin wallet.
It is strongly recommended to only run Electrum when it's persistence feature is activated."


Why this warnings? Because of e.g. possible power-outings of a Linux Live system?
Is it not enough to write down the 12 seed words?



Thank's for your help!

Joe
