Samourai is - unfortunately - the only reputable wallet i am aware of, which has this protocol implemented.
Currently, it is your best option.
Unless the demand for privacy increases, i believe it will be the only viable option in the near future.
A few people have asked for reusable payment codes on wasabi's github, but not enough to properly show the demand.

You don't necessarily need to encrypt your mnemonic code this way. A different approach would be to use a secret sharing scheme and divide the secret into 3 parts where at least 2 (or 3) are required. Each group gets one part of the mnemonic, and the last one will be stored in your will. This way, no information is being leaked with n-1 shares (where n is the required amount to unhide the secret). With n = 3 (so 3 out of 3 sharing scheme), all shares are needed: Group A, Group B and the share from your will. Not saying that you should use this approach. Just giving you some ideas and other possibilities. I've found 3 websites which can decrypt the same phrase reliably, but I'm trying to find a downloadable Executable or VBA Macro which can also decrypt it and am having trouble finding something which can decrypt properly. Any suggestions?
Don't use websites for that. The easiest would probably be to write 10 lines of python code to do that. |

Check the pinned thread before posting: [READ BEFORE POSTING] Tech Support Help Request FormatElectrum is a BTC wallet. Not a USDT wallet. So everything is just as it is supposed to be. Since you didn't give us more information, all we can do is to assume what your issue is. Use the correct wallet and you are fine. |

I store them offline but still on computer too, will may take a further step to prevent future attacks and store it further than where it currenty is take it off the computer and store it cold I believe the terminology is.
Generally, it is advised to not store the mnemonic code on an internet-connected device. Storing it offline is usually the best method. Since your mnemonic code already has been stored on an online device, removing it from there doesn't make it automatically more secure. Especially since your wallet is being used on an internet-connected PC anyway. Don't get me wrong. Not storing it anymore on your PC definitely is a good first step. But it doesn't decrease the risks by a lot. Its shocking about not needing the passphrase to load the wallet and with the seed people could access funds. Just makes me want to be a step closer to strong internet security
You can encrypt the mnemonic code. Quite a lot of wallets offer the option to use a passphrase together with the BIP39 (or electrum) mnemonic code. |

Is there a way to verify if the seed he's using is in charge of that address? If that is so, then it must be a derivation path issue, right?
Maybe signing a message?
Unfortunately, no. The only way would be to bruteforce it yourself. This would mean you'd need a short script to try each derivation path until you are successful. You should find someone to code it for your for ~10$. If you decide to do so, make sure to check the code tho. |

It sounds like you're trying to bump transaction A by making a new transaction B, but that only works if B uses at least one of the outputs from A as input.
I think he didn't try to do a CPFP, but a RBF transaction. As far as i understood: - He did send a transaction with a fee too low
- He did not have enough coins to bump the fee accordingly
- He sent more coins to his wallet (to perform RBF)
- He tried to RBF with more funds from an incoming unconfirmed transaction

Encrypted hot-wallets, stored in encrypted USBs, and plugged in in a computer exclusive for Bitcoin transactions, only if needed could be safe enough for most newbies' needs in my opinion.
If there is already a dedicated PC only for BTC transactions, it might as well be used as a cold wallet. This is way too overkill for a hot wallet. You might as well just use a single USB with a bootable linux distro and the wallet file saved on some persistent storage on it (maybe even encrypted inside a veracrypt container or encrypted via LUKS). That's just as secure as your approach, but doesn't need a dedicated PC (which could be used as cold storage anyway). |

i dont have the bitcoin core on the same disk maybe thats the error? and it think its fully synced cause ive rebuild and rescan armory once but i am so lost so i actually have no idea of anything so please explain more detail
No, everything is fine. The mistake was on my side due to me misinterpreting your logfile. I was looking at earlier entries, where the correct path wasn't set yet, as pointed out by HCP. |

Do you have core installed and fully synced? If so, can you verify the above mentioned path is actually where your blockchain is stored? Is the data directory the same as the path above (satoshiDir) ? If not, you'll need to install core and have it fully synced to be able to see your coins in armory. |

Die Firma ist operativ im moment noch in London (Vertex Market Ltd) aber wird bald nach Jersey verlegt.
~snip~
Warum ist sie denn nicht Vertrauenswürdig abgesehen davon das sie sicherlich etwas unbekannt ist?
Die Vertex Market Ltd hat ihren Sitz laut https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11680859/officers in 27 Old Gloucester Street, London, United Kingdom, WC1N 3AX
Eine kurze Suche mit Google Maps zeigt, dass das der Eingang ist:  Sieht jetzt nicht sehr professionell aus.. Zudem zeigt eine kurze Suche nach der Adresse:  (Source)Wow. In dem kleinen Gebäude befinden sich 831 Unternehmen. Das nenn ich mal effiziente Raumnutzung. Aber das scheint mir etwas zu effizient zu sein.. Desswegen fand ich auch das:  (Source)Daher nun meine Frage: Wieso nutzt ihr einen Service, der euch eine Adresse anbietet um eine Ltd (ohne eure Adresse angeben zu müssen) anmelden zu können ? Wo sitzt eure Security- und Developmentabteilung sowie das Management ? Lass mich raten.. alles Homeoffice? Sorry. Aber das sieht extrem unseriös aus. Ich rate stark ab, diesen Service zu benutzen. Zu viele Red flags. |

Can we see anything suspicious in our browser in case something like this happens, like certificate change etc ?
Definitely, if they strip the SSL, then you will see a different certificate. If you are a victim of SSL stripping, your connection will be non-secured, i.e. it will be http instead of https. So it is quite easy to protect against that. If you see your connection is not encrypted while it should be or see a self-signed certificate, do not continue to communicate. |

how do i send my logs?
Export your logs by clicking File -> Export Log File or by opening it directly located in: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Armory\
Then upload them to https://pastebin.com/ or a similar service and post the URL. |

If you are talking of sending some or whole part of the money you intend receiving from B then It it impossible. The transaction need to be confirmed and show in your wallet before sending back.
No. You obviously didn't read the thread and are just here to spam for your sig campaign. As mentioned by multiple people already, you can indeed create transactions with outputs which aren't confirmed yet. That's how CPFP basically works: Creating a transaction with unconfirmed inputs using a fee high enough to pay for both transactions. Sometime unconfirmed transaction might be stall when the gas fee is not enough so it is very important for a transaction to be confirmed before you send money
Gas fee? You do realize that everyone is talking about bitcoin here, and not about any shitcoin altcoin ? |

Bezüglich der ganzen fee estimation Websites: 1) bitcoinfees.earn.com überschätzt die Gebühren haushoch. So hohe Gebühren sind für die angegebene Wartezeit eig. nie nötig. Von der Seite würde ich abraten. 2) bitcoinfees.net scheint da schon etwas besser zu sein. Aber wenn ich das jedoch "selber" ausrechne, was ca. nötig wäre, dann wird die Gebühr da auch noch überschätzt. Ein Beispiel: Zurzeit, zeigt mir bitcoinfees.net folgendes an:  Auf https://core.jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,2h sehe ich folgendes:  Wenn man sich eine Gebühr, so ca. 50% von der Spitze aussucht (also bei 0.5MB), dann hat man schon recht gute Chancen, dass die Transaktion in den nächsten 1-3 Blöcken bestätigt wird. Bei ca. 25% von der Spitze (also bei 0.25MB), ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit schon sehr hoch, dass es der nächste oder übernächste Block wird. Bei 1-2 Blöcken zeigt bitcoinfees.net also 101 sat/vB an und laut den Daten aus dem Mempool, sind es eher 50/60 sat/vB. Bei 1-3 Blöcken wären es in der Realität etwa 8 sat/vB. Bei bitcoinfees.net sind es jedoch schon 14 sat/vB für die nächsten 1-6 Blöcke. In der Regel fährt man besser, wenn man sich den Mempool auf https://core.jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,2h anschaut (3. Graphik: Mempool Size in MB). So eine Website ist natürlich einfacher und schneller, aber nicht unbedingt präziser oder sparsamer. |

Warum habt ihr denn keine .de Domain?
Beziehungsweise, warum verwendet ihr denn den Privacyguard ?
Gibt's ne GmbH? Oder wer steckt da dahinter? Irgendwelche zufälligen und unbekannten Leute?
Welchen Vorteil hätte man denn, bei solch einer unbekannten und nicht gerade vertrauenswürdigen Plattform zu verkaufen/kaufen?

IIRC there are some file managers and ADB hacks you can use to get access to some more things without root but not all.
You can extract any App data via ADB on a non-rooted device if and only if the App has the debugging flag set to true in the AndroidManifest.xml file. Usually, the flag is disabled. At least with reputable and well tested applications. Might still be worth a try, but i doubt firefox didn't disable the debugging mode since it poses a security risk. |

Ok I’ll go check official websites and what wallets they offer that generate paper wallets. Thank you I did not know wallets could give you keys offline (I’m used to Cardano.... they are really not nice in REQUIRING internet on their Daedalus wallet to generate the keys!). I’ll check bitcoin and litecoin. Do you know of any that generate paper wallets? (Or generate keys, same thing)
If you are looking to generate BTC and LTC paper wallets, why not simply use electrum and electrum-ltc ? You can download and verify the files, then move them onto an offline PC (or boot a linux distro without any network connection) and create a wallet using electrum / electrum-ltc there. Then write down or print (make sure the printer is not network connected) the mnemonic code and as much addresses as you want/need and (if needed) the private keys. Additionally if you want some QR codes, there is open source software for linux available to create QR codes out of any data. So you can also easily print the QR of your address/private key. |

Usually most wallets won't even reflect the Bitcoin you have not until it has around 3 confirmations in the blockchain making it sure that the transaction itself will be irreversible for small type of transactions.
Which wallet does that? It has to be a pretty bad one. Usually wallets show the transaction once they receive it (before the first confirmation). I am not aware of a wallet which doesn't show a transaction until it has 3+ confirmations.. The only thing i could imagine would be an exchange or custodial wallet. But both of them don't count as a good or proper wallet. |

Let me summarize your post in 1 image:  Your "hacks" aren't hacks at all. And they don't "hack" bitcoin. As much as you are keen on getting merits, please stop posting such nonsense. It really hurts reading that. I simply don't know where to start.. Regarding 1): "Binance hack" because people were dumb enough to install malware on their computer? No. That's not "a binance hack". 2) You are reading stuff you don't understand and writing stuff which doesn't make sense. You make it sound as easy as booting up your PC. 3) 21 Million? Not even close. You wouldn't even get the hardware for that amount (given that there can be that much hardware produced for you..). |

Seriously.... Oh gosh I love you guys. Thanks for warning me. I was about to create my wallets today.
The only one then is bitadress.org?
And there is another one for dash, but this website is on the official dash website: paper.dash.org.
But I don't have any signature on website or a SHA256 to verify. If I go to the GitHub, there's an option to download the zip file. Does that mean that from GitHub we don't have to verify signatures?
No. Don't use any website to generate your paper wallet. Your only "advantage" literally is that it looks pretty when printed. Security-wise it is horrible because you 1) need to verify the source code and because 2) you are using javascript. Javascript shouldn't be used to create cryptographic keys wherever possible. If you want to properly generate a paper wallet, use a reputable wallet. Just open your wallet on an offline device, write down the mnemonic and as much addresses / private keys as you want. Way more secure than using those websites (regardless of online or offline). |
