Not sure but it looks like you're trying to send the coins from a watch only address and because it doesn't have its private key in the wallet, electrum is not offering you the sign/broadcast/send options.

Did you restore this wallet from Master public key?

He is most probably selling his own account. Its just getting worse, make accounts, spam, sell, repeat.

Yeah, a couple of other exchanges has them too but OP you should know that you have to keep your BTC with them for you to use these cards and you have to fill up the KYC forms and they charge a little fee for ordering and everytime you use these cards.

Yeah, I am not aware of any such service either and even if one exists you'll have to keep fiat there for it to autobuy at the specified rate. Maybe there are exchanges which allow that but I don't know and wouldn't trust any.

Its the anduck.net server and is now lagging 955 blocks, maybe electrum should have a way of not connecting to these servers who are lagging, in auto mode but I suppose there is no way to check that.

I have been to one a long time back, only 3 people showed up, I am sure there are more people in the city who are completely familiar with Bitcoins but maybe they prefer to remain anonymous. There was one more organized a little away from my town but it was cancelled due to no interest.

Its bad for the faucet owners, bots for gambling are different things because gambling sites make money from the bets but faucets only make them from the advertisements which depend on unique user visits, so by bot`ing the faucets you're basically stealing from them and thats not nice and most bots come with nasty malwares+trojans, so its best to avoid them.

Plus this:

I see people selling a lot of things here everyday, maybe whatever you were trying to sell was not sold because either same thing was available to be bought at cheaper price somewhere else on the internet or maybe no one was interested in it at all. I don't think people just don't spend bitcoins because they're hoarders but they do spend them carefully, I gamble with bitcoins everyday, I don't buy a lot of stuff because simply I don't find anything worth buying.

I see you were selling re-tweets here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1326991.0

And some people did bought them but some found them expensive and that is perfectly normal.

I don't see how this is an issue with bitcoin.

Wouldn't call these rules but suggestions of stuff not liked by most of the community, including DT members.

12 is basically for people who try to do the old charity scam, they come with a story that they're raising funds for this this.. but most of the time its not true, which is why it should be avoided. But if they're really from an organization and they provide proofs and it verifies then there should be no problem, unless ofcourse it is against the rule as suggested by Mickeyb above.

As for developers, I haven't seen anyone asking for donations, if you have seen such threads then please point to me and I'll add about that up there too but I don't think that they get funds without providing collateral or proofs.


I am sure I have seen 1-2 such posts recently, will try to find them and link here and I don't think they were removed. Not aware of that rule either.

Found one here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1328919.0

And they asked for permission right here in Meta, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1328890.0;all
Archive: https://archive.is/K93f5

But wasn't given permission nor denied by moderators and the above thread wasn't removed either, so I am not sure if there is a rule for that or not.

I would have made some profit too but I had them in the Parlay and Bangladesh was there too and they lost to Zimbabwe, again, twice in a row, who would have thought that? I think I should just start putting straight bets from now.

This is good news. Never understood why all the changes which are needed couldn't be made in the Core itself.

But is this for real?

Since this question was asked by OP in december, I'd say the big Bitcoin announcement which OP was hoping for has already happened, 2 actually, one is Cryptsy getting allegedly hacked and funds stolen and two Mike's departure from Bitcoin world.

I don't think it is acceptable but its hard to differentiate if the person posting on a subject is actually paid to do so or just saying things they really mean. It's definitely wrong to vouch for things you don't know anything about and which could potentially harm others financially.

Maybe not the 17th but it will be won easily by thunders, I wasn't sure today so I put them in a parlay which I lost because of one other match but made my money back because I had put some money on Alex Ross.

That is probably because you're using the portable version but as long as you can use your funds, it shouldn't be a problem as far as I can tell but make sure to keep back up of your wallet, should something go wrong in future your funds will still be sound.

Also, you should read this warning about portable version: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=154451.0

Was his wallet encrypted? Because it is much easier for malwares to steal the wallet and funds from inside it, if the wallet is unencrypted as they contain the private keys in simple form.

I have used 1.9.8 in the past for a long time but am not aware of any vulnerabilities in it and never had anything stolen from it either, although, I never had/kept that much funds in it.

I have seen Bridge of Spies but I don't think it is worthy for an Oscar.

Spotlight and The Revenant seems to be everyone's favorite, I am watching The Revenant tonight or tomorrow and will try to watch the others before betting on anything.

As suggested, post the transaction ID here, in Electrum you can do that by right clicking on the transaction in History and selecting "Copy to clipboard". It will then be easier to determine the cause for it.

I believe it will be for users using the Bitgo wallet, right? I saw it yesterday too but not sure how it works.

One more thing, will you be adding the Australian Open matches for betting? I don't see them.

Good to know, make sure to take back up this time, for if something like this should happen in future, you'll be able to access your funds alternatively.
