14401  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bittrex will support BCC - All BTC holders will get BCC on: August 03, 2017, 06:07:25 PM
I deposited BTC0.5 at bittrex and did not receive 0.5 extra Bcash. How do I claim my Bcash?
You can't anymore. They updated the BCC balance of everybody that had Bitcoin on their wallets at the moment of the fork.

If you had BTC 0.5 on your BitTrex account before the fork they would give you 0.5 BCC.



But if you had those coins on your wallet before August 1st, maybe you still have Bitcoin Cash on your address. Check out this guide[1]

14402  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Trezor vs some random hard drive? on: August 03, 2017, 02:55:09 AM
Just like said above, your private key never leaves the Trezor hardware, which means that it's impossible to get your coins stolen by a malware on your computer. They sign your transaction in the hardware and broadcast through your computer/smartphone.

While, if you use an desktop wallet and store your private keys in a file on your computer or flash drive, a simple malware can copy your files, get your password with a keylogger and steal all your coins.

From TREZOR Community Manager:

Quote
When you set up your Trezor, your seed is not communicated to the computer. In fact, no confidential information is ever sent to the computer. All calculations using the private keys are done in Trezor, and it only sends the result to the computer. That's why you don't really need to set up/use Trezor on a safe computer.

Check this documentation[1] to see if you can manage your coins outside the Blockchain wallet.

14404  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Banned in signature campaign:Hi sir, gonna ask something relevant about avatar. on: August 02, 2017, 09:31:01 PM
Who banned you from joining sig campaigns? The campaign you were advertising yourself?
-snip-
He's probably talking about the recent ban wave that theymos applied to people joining the "Decentraland" bounty and posting in the ANN thread to earn Bitcoins, which is against the rules. This means that he can't apply a signature for 1 month. Source

If your banned in signature campaign, can you join an avatar campaign?
I would say that you can. You just can't wear a signature for 1 month for breaking the rules. But most campaigns will require you to join the signature campaign aswell before getting paid a bonus to wear the avatar.

(I'm not 100% sure btw)
14405  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: coinfork.io - Easy way to access the Bitcoin Cash associated with your Bitcoin on: August 02, 2017, 08:44:32 PM
I wouldn't trust my private key on an online tool that isn't open source.

Why don't you upload your code to GitHub so people can download and run locally? Otherwise I recommend everybody to avoid using this website since it would mean that this tools is a blatant scam made to steal people's coins.

Please reconsider, OP.
14406  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Nano S and Private Keys on: August 02, 2017, 07:37:03 PM
I just received the Ledger Nano S and to my surprise there is no Desktop app, is the only way to access the wallet via Chrome app?
Not really. Read my answer bellow.

Do I have to install chrome just so I can use the ledger? I run mac. Also is there a iOS app so I can have the coins with me on my phone?
If you want to use the official wallet from Ledger, you will need Chrome. But you can use Ledger with other supported wallets like:

Electrum[1] for Windows.
Mycelium[2] for Android/IOS.

And AFAIK there is no standalone wallets that support Ledger for MAC.

So the private key is like the key to my coins right? And the public key is how people can send my coins etc?
Yes. Send your public key (address) to people so they can send you coins and keep your private key safe.

If I buy coins off of Kraken, how do I then send them to my wallet (Ledger or Exodus)? Will I receive a private or public key with my purchase, I really don't understand. Or is the private and public key saved within the Wallet itself? And what do people mean by importing or exporting private keys?
Request a withdraw from Kraken and put your public key (address). Your coins will be sent to your wallet. The private key is the one that you can't show to anyone or they will be able to spend your coins. Exporting/Importing keys are used to use your private key that contains all your coins in other wallet softwares.

14407  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What BCC wallet are safe to import electrum private keys? on: August 02, 2017, 07:27:41 PM
I believe that the safer is the BitcoinABC node itself. But you would require to download the whole blockchain before making use of the software.

Or I would recommend you to do the following process posted by Electrum team:

Quote
Therefore, users who want to run the Electron Cash binaries should do
it on a separate same machine, that does not have their Bitcoin
wallet. We recommend to proceed as follows:

 1. Install Electrum Cash on a machine that does not have your
 Electrum wallets.

 2. Wait until the BCC hard fork has taken place, and a few BCC blocks
 have been mined.

 3. Move all your Electrum funds to a new Electrum wallet. This will
 move only your BTC, and not your BCC, because the BCC blockchain has
 replay protection. Wait until the transaction is confirmed.

 4. Enter the seed of your (now empty) old wallet or private keys in
 Electron Cash. Since the BTC have been moved to a new wallet,
 entering your old seed in Electron Cash will not put your BTC funds
 at risk.

Following these 4 easy steps you will be able to access your BCC
without compromising your BTC.

I believe that you won't get your BCC anymore.

Coinbase posted an announcement last week saying that they wouldn't support the Bitcoin Cash chain and that you should withdraw your coins out of their wallets if you wanted to get them after the fork. Now that the fork already happened, if you take your coins to an external wallet, you will only receive Bitcoins on the legacy chain. Could you confirm that?

The 0.0171 BTC on the transaction is probably only Coinbase sending the change[1] of the transaction to their same wallet. That's not how the fork works. You would receive the same amount of 0.05 that can be spent on both chains.

14409  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Kraken to Electrum on: August 01, 2017, 10:05:52 PM
For getting BTC off the Kraken exchange: can someone confirm this is done with funding=>withdrawal?
Yes. Then just follow what is written in the screen. Put your BTC address and it's done.

For selling BCH, I suppose it's just opening an order. If not, let me know please.
Open a sell order with the amount of BCH you want to sell and the price.

This war is basically big blocks vs segregated witness.

Read this article[1] to understand what is Bitcoin Cash and why it's happening.

14411  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Multiple Wallets on: August 01, 2017, 01:04:55 PM
Yes. Wallets are just interfaces managing your address in the Bitcoin network from your private key.

Every transaction will be updated in every present and future wallet you use.
14412  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Armory paper wallet to Electrum wallet (fork) on: August 01, 2017, 01:07:03 AM
What do you mean with "lose their value"?

If you have X bitcoins in the address which private key is printed on the paper, you can sweep those coins to a new wallet. You will not lose anything other than the fees for the transaction.

If you are talking about the   equivalent amount of Bitcoin worth $50 from two years ago. It should be worth a lot more today. You will receive the Bitcoins you had from those years, and not the amount worth $50 today.
14413  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Electrum wallet? How to get Bitcoincash? on: July 31, 2017, 11:38:34 PM
Just to complete jackg's reply:

You can find all the main wallets that support BCC in this page[1]

[1] https://www.bitcoincash.org/



Btw, there are reports about Electron Cash maybe having a malware build in the software. So you should be carefull if you want to try out them. I would use a VM or Sandbox to make your life safer. Of course those reports haven't been confirmed, so it could be a false positive.
14414  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Bitcoin refund address ? were is it ? on: July 31, 2017, 09:20:38 PM
Just put your Bitcoin Address.

As the name says, this is the address you will be receiving your coins back if there is any issues while exchanging your coins for another.
14415  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Wallets on: July 31, 2017, 09:16:58 PM
Does mycelium accept the fork for BCC? Having trouble withdrawing from bitstamp. Asking for 2 step verification but no key is provided to start the process. Very confused.
Cementhead43
Not at the moment. I would recommend you to use an desktop wallet to do transactions related to the BCC chain while there is none.

You can find all the main wallets supporting BCC in this page: https://www.bitcoincash.org/
14416  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: How to get tokens from Exodus Ethereum wallet on: July 31, 2017, 05:51:04 PM
I believe that Exodus doesn't support ERC20 tokens at the moment.
Export your address private key and import in a wallet that does (e.g: MyEtherWallet)

I found this video that explain the whole process to do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmy0qWPVqRc
14417  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] ChipMixer - mixing reinvented on: July 31, 2017, 05:36:44 PM
I really don't see where you guys are having issues to understand how the mixing process works.

IMO the whole process is quite easy to understand just by reading the "How to use it" text. Care to specify where are you having difficulties?

You deposit X, you split this amount in multiple chips (addresses). You "withdraw" those addresses as private keys, import on your wallet and spend. I actually understood after reading for the first time.

Anyway, If anybody wants some help, I am always available. Just PM me.
14418  Other / Meta / Re: Is mprep account hacked? on: July 31, 2017, 02:36:56 AM
MPREP account is fine. Your thread got locked because you broke the rules.

What did you not understand from his post on your thread?

Quote
ATTENTION: Due to the bounty incentivising posting on the ANN thread (which is an on-forum altcoin giveaway in any and all definitions), this thread is locked. There is zero tolerance for those blatantly breaking the "no on-forum altcoin giveaways" rule.



But we do not violate any rules! Then I saw ~100 threads banned, and it looks like today rules were changed or mprep account is hacked.
No rules were changed. Make sure to read all of them before making those claims.

From 2014: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=434310.0

-snip-

Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.

How do these scammers do this so successfully? So they replicate the real site with an almost-identical URL. But how do they get it indexed on Google's search page?
They are paying Google to show their ads, making them to be the first option when you search for Bitmixer.

People will just trust the first link they see, and believe that the website is indeed legit.

14420  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Stuck in pending trying to transfer from Coinbase to my wallet on: July 30, 2017, 03:25:22 PM
It didn't disappeared. A forum moderator moved your thread to the Web Wallets board since you posted on the wrong section.

I also already answered to your question: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2054602.msg20491438#msg20491438
