Yes i have told this earlier.


Already explained this above, also my project is not a faucet, anyway don't need the investor for now from the looks of it, the things have gone pretty smooth , i think i can take this through on my own, i will close this thread after 2 months if everything goes smoothly.

You see i just made a backup of the default seed on my pc, i never thought i would use that wallet. The New custom wallet i made, i wrote the seed on the paper as the "guides" on the internet tell us to, Made a couple of backups but i didn't pay attention to the wallet electrum was using. Also for newbies its quite easy to overlook it, So the Password thing is a must.


Electrum is one of the best wallets out there, Sure it may lack some features but it gives you total control over your coins and is so light weight that even 128 MB storage card would be able to hold it. It's just that you have to be attentive when you are dealing in bitcoins.

Well it's already too late for an average Joe living in a developing country, 4k is a lifetime of savings for some of these people, so they won't risk investing in something which they can't touch. It's definitely out of reach of approx 1.5 billion people at least from around the globe imo. Think it like this, most people in developing countries live on 3-5$ per day. That is around $150 per month approximately, take out their expenses and you hardly get any savings. So you are still lucky to get a full bitcoin imo.

Yup, have done that now, plus i have deleted the other wallets from the app data directory, the password on launch is really useful and ensures that the person is using the right wallet for receiving the Bitcoins.

Did you succeed while you were trying to accelerate it? If you didn't then try the following trick, right at the start of a new hour submit your trx to viabtc that does the trick for me, as for if you have already done that then you can't do much, the greedy miners have currently switched to bch which has reduced the miners on the Bitcoin network. Also there has been a recent spam attack on the mempool, just sit it out on this one, you can't do much except for using the push btc accelerator and pay for the push.

So, i have a big tip for you guys, especially the newbies. So what happened was, a few months back, i moved from blockchain to electrum, electrum created a "Default wallet" for me, fortunately for me i saved the seed, in a text file even thou i did not intend to use it. Anyway i created a new custom wallet with a different name and closed the electrum thinking that it would have set the new wallet as default one.

After a while i started receiving payments and i did not pay attention to the wallet name, the wallet which was receiving the btcs, now a few months later i had to spend some btcs, i tried entering my password, it gave me an error, spent almost half an hour entering the password nothing happened, also i was very calm during the process, which helped me during my recovery. So after failing, i decided to use the seed of my custom wallet, it did recover but it empty, at this point it was clear to me that I had messed up big time.

Anyway i went to app data and found two wallets, the default one which had received all the payments and my custom wallet, i spent the next hour or so trying every password i had saved, but it did not work! I had almost given up my hope but then i thought maybe i did save the default wallet's seed and started going through all text files i had on my pc, i searched my hard drives one by one manually and didn't find any seed, after spending like 5 hours, i finished my hunt, the only part remaining was my desktop location, which too had too many text files.

There was one file sitting there named, new text document and it had the seed in it. Fortunately to me it was the one, this has been a life changing experience for me, and it's a lesson for newbies to pay proper attention when they use electrum.

TL:DR

Always make sure the wallet name is the correct one when using electrum.

Did you give a custom name to your wallet by any chance back when you created it? Looks like you created a default wallet first and then encrypted it, afterwards you made a new wallet with a custom name. what happened was, when you were using electrum, electrum was using the "default wallet" to receive your litecoins but you thought you were receiving them on the custom wallet which you created. Do you have the seed of the "default wallet" which was created on the first launch by any chance? If you don't you may say goodbye to your litecoins. But if you do have the seed, just enter that seed of the "default wallet" and it will hopefully recover your litecoins. Good luck!

P.S Also try running a Virtual machine and run electrum there and see if you get any success.

The mempool have around 95k transactions in it, it's currently being spammed, so that's why its taking long, i don't see any problem with your transaction, maybe except for a little low transaction fee, but it should get through in a day or 2,you can also try the transaction accelerator to speed it up even further.

Well starting an exchange is no easy task! The problem is if you are on a tight budget you will have to hire freelancers who will code your website, How can you trust them for not leaving behind a backdoor? Beside this, you will have to ensure the users that their coins will be safe in some way or another, Just like coinbase, which offers refunds in case they get hacked in the future. Just like Vod said, from the looks of it you don't have Computer knowledge it will be a huge challenge for you to make it run smooth. Achievable? yes, but i will recommend you to not go down this road. Better Businesses are waiting to be opened.

I personally hate people who do this kind of business, pets especially dogs and cats, they bond with the owners, its like growing your own child for years and then selling it, you may feel satisfied with the money at first but it will then start to eat you from the inside! You will literally hate yourself for doing that. Even if someone offered me 1000 BTC the answer would have been NO!


I agree. This is a off topic thread for sure.

Well in that case, why not totally disable the pms for newbie members? Only allow them to pm after they have reached the junior member rank? Bitcointalk.org is high on spammers list, i think i have received some spam in the past too, there needs to be a mechanism to prevent this.

Well you should never invest more than what you can afford to lose, ask yourself what amount can you spare? What happens if you invest 1000 dollars in eth and the price comes back to $40 a coin? Are You willing to take that risk with a higher amount? You will do fine with $100, just remember high risk usually returns a higher reward and vice versa, also just because you were wrong a couple of times doesn't means you won't be wrong the next time. So think it out and remember invest wisely.

No Surprises in the couple of past days, England and India have won their respective matches as they were expected too. WI had not a single idea how the pitch was behaving. As for Srilanka, total disappointment. They had a wonderful start but lost their way in the middle. Srilanka are playing like Pakistan used to play, Collapsing all of a sudden, They did collapse in the Champions trophy too. I think both England and India will whitewash their opponents in this series. England for sure, Srilanka may win a game by chance. But the series result is clear. Its a one way road from here.

It was one of a special request from one of our admins, but we are thinking of removing it, as you are right this will only disturb the forum's environment, thank you for your input . We will remove that section shortly.


Sure thing, hopefully we will have few members who will reach the bare minimum in the next week, as for max character count, there isn't max limit yet, as we will encourage users to write in depth reviews, we may implement a max character limit if we think we can't  sustain it. Also low quality posts will be deleted sooner or later.

Thank you both for your input.

West indies have folded as expected, 500 plus was too big to ask from a side which has board issues and lack skills required for test match cricket, the match is well over imo, England should win this quite easily.

As for India vs Srilanka, it is a different format and it's a new day for srilanka, they did defeat them in champions trophy, so the series might get closer, but Indians are the clear favorites in this series. My bets are on England and India.

got it, thanks for the quick response.

By $5 i meant, a single payment of $5 from faucet, not divided ones, i do understand the other part, how the wallets combine up the addresses and sends the payments. what i meant in my previous reply was Like user waits up to till his earnings reach $5 and then withdraws and spends $3 from that in that scenario it will be helpful for the user.


Exactly!

I want to know what will happen in the following scenario.

Let's say i have 5 different addresses, all of them have single inputs, meaning they all have received one payment each. Let's say i have another address, Address "X" and i transfer all the btcs from those 5 addresses to Address "X". Will it become a single input for address "X"? Or I will still have the 5 inputs. I just want to know this because of recent fee hikes. I have many addresses with smaller denominations and want some to join up some, what's the best way of achieving this?

hmm well that's new to me, i didn't know about that, but if the person is doing dust payments then the generating new address method be useful in my opinion. A person gets $5 from a faucet, spends $3 to buy a key etc in that case multiple address will be helpful for him, as the number of inputs will be low as compared to 1 address receiving multiple payments. But i do agree with you, most faucet scrapers usually receive tons of payments and they get stuck moving them, in that case your option is the right one. Wait and withdraw higher amounts than lower ones.
