1101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Changing a word of a seed. Will it break safety? on: March 04, 2023, 05:55:50 AM
The idea would be to avoid trusting the hardware wallet seed.
Your hardware wallet's seed is generated randomly in the device itself, not by the manufacturer.
The only trust issue is if the hardware's RNG is bad or rigged which is never the case in genuine famous hardware wallets.

If your hardware wallet came with a pre-generated wallet or seed phrase, avoid using that device entirely.

@hexvir, with what message do other nodes respond? If you don't have a scriptSig, and you attempt to broadcast such transaction, you'll likely get a "transaction has no inputs" message.
hexvir isn't the OP  Cheesy
From what I see, his reply is to give OP an alternative mempool explorer or blockexplorer site.
1103  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Signed txn - inserting scriptsig on: March 03, 2023, 05:48:10 AM
I have checked mempool site its self and only says its waiting for it to appear which means i guess it hasn't made it to the chain... ?
besides pushing a raw on the various sites, is there another way to submit this ?
I don't know which site that shows "waiting to appear" so I have no idea, usually there'll be a result or none.
On a side note, there's no official mempool ('cause of the phrase "mempool site itself"), every node has its own and has their own set of rules. (usually the default)
So if the majority of the nodes don't have your transaction, chances that it's non-standard is high.

For broadcasting transactions, every site with push service has a Bitcoin node on its backend so it's all basically the same as sendrawtransaction command.
1104  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Signed txn - inserting scriptsig on: March 03, 2023, 04:48:30 AM
Just to clarify...   when i submit something signed it says its in mempool and just sits .. never is picked up for confirmation ...
It's your mempool, it's still subjected to other node's mempool if your transaction will propagate.
Try to search its txid in blockexplorers; if it's not there, chances that it's only in your node is high. (or a few nodes)

Quote from: MikeJ_NpC
Follow up question .. when you fundtransaction is this the same as singing it ?  As it indicates its signed at that point
No, it's used to add inputs to an existing transaction.
Mainly used for funding no input transactions created via createrawtransaction command.
1105  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: weird request of a 2fa on: March 02, 2023, 06:16:32 AM
please i need our help.
Electrum is non-custodial and the 2FA service provider (TrustedCoin) don't have access to your 2FA wallet's other two master keys.
Also, your wallet files aren't saved online, it's in your PC or device's storage
so the only way that it's created as 2fa is if you or someone who have access to your PC have setup a 2fa wallet.
Or other reasons like you're using a fake Electrum wallet which can easily be detected by verifying its signature: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/
Signature files for old versions can be downloaded here: https://download.electrum.org/ (find the correct '.asc' file for your wallet's version)


The only way to spend from it is to have access to either two of the three master keys:
TrustedCoin has one, your wallet file has one and your seed phrase has two.

So you either need the "seed phrase" which you should've saved
or the wallet (and its password) plus the master key in TrustedCoin's server.

Regarding the latter, you can try to contact them to see if there's a chance to provide a new authenticator, use the email that you've used to setup the 2FA wallet.
but AFAIK, they do not usually entertain such requests

So i have a signed txn with core but is missing the scriptsig which i do have....
Try signrawtransactionwithkey and fill the optional "prevtx" arg with the required script depending on the input(s).
More info about the command: https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/24.0.0/rpc/rawtransactions/signrawtransactionwithkey/
1107  Other / Archival / Re: I did a SHA256 on address, used Hash160 on the result, help on: March 02, 2023, 05:38:34 AM
Hi guys, I was messing around with address generator, I did a SHA256 on an address and then used Hash160 on the result, then turned the hash160 into an address, now the address turns out to have a balance,
-snip-
It just happened that the result of Hash160 is always 160-bit so any data that you've hashed can be converted into an address.

Now, if it's pure coincidence, then you've discovered a collision (but only until you find the owner of that address to confirm that your and his inputs are different).
But the most possible scenario here is someone did the exact same thing.

can I find the private key or not? I would like to notify the owner about it so they could transfer the coins.
You can't, and I highly doubt that there's an owner of that address. (someone who owns its private key)
If there's someone who claims it for some reason, ask him to provide a signed message.
1108  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Unable to open corrupted wallet dat file on: March 01, 2023, 01:46:44 PM
Is there any way to recover it, repair it.
Try to run "salvage" on a copy of that wallet using Bitcoin Core's bitcoin-wallet tool.
The result will depend on the deleted parts, if the (encrypted) master key is intact, it should be able to restore it to a usable state.

Follow this post to use the command:
Try Bitcoin Core's bitcoin-wallet tool's "salvage".
"bitcoin-wallet" is in the "bin" folder inside Bitcoin Core's installation directory (where bitcoind and bitcoin-cli are located).

To use it, open Terminal, cd to the directory where bitcoin-wallet is.
Then use the command (provide the full path to the wallet.dat file):
Code:
bitcoin-wallet --wallet="E:\Folder\wallet.dat" salvage

It wont return with any response (unless it failed) but you will see a backup file (wallet.dat.xxxxx.bak) where the wallet.dat is located.
The new wallet.dat is the "salvaged" wallet.

If you don't know how to "cd" (change directory), simply type cd "path_to_the_directory" in your Command Prompt window, in this case bitcoin core's bin folder.
e.g. (Windows default): cd C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bin

No, I work with Electrum.
Ledger live is overwhelmed and crashes.
Okay, so you're talking about the 'History' tab.

Yes, the transactions from that list wont be omitted once spent.
The only thing you can do is to filter it by date (Wallet->History->Filter) but those will still be loaded in the background.
1110  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Multisig question on: March 01, 2023, 06:46:01 AM
Wanted to use one of the keys I've already stamped in steel washers for the single SIG. I didn't think there would be any issues, just wanted to make sure
By saying "keys" did you mean "private keys"?

The only problem that I see is if that key from the MultiSig wallet is compromised the single sig will be as well.
Hackers are notorious for trying every address type in keys that they got their hands on.
1111  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: No debits from the ledger possible. Who can help? on: March 01, 2023, 06:15:56 AM
The inputs are now greatly reduced, but ledger has saved all transactions and the list has not gotten any smaller.
Is it because of that?
Do you mean "Ledger Live"?
Clearing the cache should also clear the spent coins after it resynchronize.

Here's how to: https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404381846929-Clear-cache-in-Ledger-Live
1112  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin Confirmations... Why they keep coming? on: February 28, 2023, 09:50:51 AM
It just means that it's that "deep" in the blockchain;
in other words, it's included in the older blocks and there are +N number of blocks on top of where it's included.

For example, if your transaction in confirmed in block height 778,640 and then the next block is mined, it'll be 2 confirmations.
Blocks are getting mined round-the-clock so confirmations wont stop at 6.
1113  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Beginner Necroposting and Bumping Question on: February 28, 2023, 07:33:17 AM
1. If necroposting isn't allowed to prevent spamming why aren't very old threads lock?
I can't see any rule that prohibited necroposting.
For the unofficial rules, refer to this thread: Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ

And a few replies below, there's a related reply from the author regarding the topic:
Well, slow down at least. Wink Regarding necro posting, if the necro post is substantial (doesn't break the rule especially rule 1 and 2 (2014/07/21 version)), then it's OK.

2. If I come across an old thread from 2021 and I think I have new input to contribute, would do you advice me to start a new thread instead of bumping the old one?
Depends if it's off-topic.
Example in Technical Support board, I only see a few who necropost with the exact same issue.
Usually, it's only "similar", which should have been a posted as a new topic.
1114  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it on: February 28, 2023, 07:20:34 AM
I doubt it was brute force that solved 120 any other way. But either way, it's a great performance.
congratulations   Cool
It must be Kangaroo (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5244940.0).
Since its public key is made public by the author, the private key is now susceptible to "birthday attack" which Kangaroo is good at.
Same reason why those harder puzzles divisible by 5 are solved before the easier ones.
1115  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: What is BIP39 on: February 27, 2023, 03:12:22 AM
-snip- , and going through a few comments in those posts they made mention of something "BIP39 seed phrase", and I have been wanting to know what is this BIP39 and it's significant or is it just an acronym about a wallet?
If you're wondering what "BIP" means, yes it's an acronym but not of a wallet.
It's one of the many "Bitcoin Improvement Proposals" (github link), the number next to it is set by the author, usually in numeric order or already reserved.

So if you see another "BIP-XX" in a comment, the author is talking about a proposal from the list above.
1116  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: No debits from the ledger possible. Who can help? on: February 26, 2023, 06:43:15 AM
I've never seen a reason why mining rewards should stay on the pools longer than necessary, so I've always set it to the minimum payout amount.
I have of course changed this now.
But I had never heard of it before, which could cause problems at some point.
Normally it's not much of an issue in most wallets, unless we're taking about thousands of small payouts.
Yours is a unique case.

That setting will also save you some satoshi later when you need to spend your mining rewards.
Because it could cause you to pay more fee if you end up creating transactions with high number of inputs (higher transaction size).
1117  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: No debits from the ledger possible. Who can help? on: February 26, 2023, 05:28:47 AM
EDIT:
I did some research about Trezor hardware wallets, and they are saying that Trezor is not designed as a mining rewards wallet because of high  number of transactions,
so they are suggesting costumers to compile more transactions to one and then deposit to Trezor wallet.
Now that you mentioned it, it looks like OP is mining bitcoins based from his post history.

@Moeter81 most mining pools usually have a "minimum payment" setting. (or a similar name)
Setting a higher value will lessen your UTXO amount since the pool will only send once in a while.
(of course, your current UTXOs wont be affected by it)

If the other hardware wallet can't consolidate/send those as well, you can create an Electrum "cold-storage" set-up to consolidate the funds or send it to a new wallet.
It's as secure as a hardware wallet as long as the offline device is totally air-gap (wiki) and wiped entirely after you've done with the consolidation.
Alternatively and recommended, send the funds to a newly setup hardware device with a new seed phrase.
Tutorial: https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/coldstorage.html
Creating a wallet from BIP39 seed requires some additional steps like enabling "BIP39 seed" in the seed option, extend seed (if it has a passphrase)
and selecting the correct script type (no Taproot support yet) and derivation path for account 2+.
1118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: have found my wallet from 2014 on: February 26, 2023, 05:01:57 AM
-snip- but don't remember password of the wallet , tried EVERYTHING.
That's a start, you can use the passwords that you've tested as "tokens" and add a small number of random characters, typo check, etc.

If you find it hard to set-up a bruteforce hardware/software, try to contact www.walletrecoveryservices.com
Here's his Bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=240779.0
The service is quite popular but it costs a fraction of the recovered amount. (not upfront)

Quote from: JustAsk
*You also making this mistake as many peopple in here - you mean that we need to check ALL of existing combinations to find a wallet for the first time. But we don't!
No, I said "a small portion", means just an extremely tiny percent of the total combination is still A LOT.

So what? It is a chance!
Okay, good luck!
1120  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [Feb 2023] Mempool empty! Use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs! on: February 25, 2023, 11:42:23 AM
-snip-
Because of the reason written in the OP.
More inputs produce higher transaction size which makes the fee higher, so small inputs that can't be used alone in your typical transactions are recommended to be consolidated.
So if most of your coins have good amount, there's no need for consolidation.

Privacy issue is also covered in the OP.
