Hmm, komisch.

Habe zwar noch nie ein multisig auf diese Weise importieren müssen.. aber genau so sollte es eig. gemacht werden.
Hast du es auch mal mit den master private keys (anstatt dem seed) probiert ?

Bitcoin does not work on an account basis.
If you receive X transactions to the same address, you have X UTXO's.

So, when you then want to spend all of your funds, you will have X inputs (not just one).

Since the recipient is the same, it can be assumed that he is simply consolidating his inputs.
This means he is converting X UTXO's into 1 UTXO. If he then wants to send his coins when fess are higher, he will have to pay a lower fee since the size of the transaction is smaller with only 1 UTXO instead of X.
This transaction probably has a low fee and its intended to be able to spend the coins later when the fee is higher without needing to pay an insanely high fee.

You rather want to consolidate a lot of UTXO's into one with a low fee (e.g. 1 sat/B), then pay a higher fee when necessary to transact than to not consolidate and pay a higher fee with 10+ inputs.

You can.
There is a service which solves it for you. You can get 1000 solved captchas for 0.5 to 1$.

Whether it is worth using that on some faucets which give little to no BTC.. i would doubt that.
But you definitely don't need to solve them yourself 

Das klingt stark nach einem Multisig wallet.
Um ein bech32 multisig wallet in electrum zu importieren brauchst du dann entweder:
1) 2x mnemonic code + 1x zpub, oder
2) 2x zpriv + 1x zpub

Es scheint so als hättest du das.
Was passiert denn wenn du in electrum ein 2-out-of-3 Multisig wallet erstellen willst und als co-signer eben diese mnemonic codes (oder die zpriv's) und den zpub eingibst ?

Der Master public key erlaubt es dir nur die Adressen zu generieren (nicht die private keys).
Da du jedoch die private keys benötigtst, berauchst du den master private key (xpriv, ypriv oder zpriv).

Was für Adressen möchtest du denn generieren? Legacy (1..), Nested Segwit, P2SH (3..) oder Native Segwit (bc1..) ?
Dementsprechend brauchst du einen xpriv, ypriv oder zpriv. Das sind die Master private keys. Aus denen kann der Master public key berechnet werden.

Zum importieren deines Wallets brauchst du keinen Master public key. Nur den Master private key oder eben den Mnemonic code (12/24 wörter).

Bist du sicher, dass es sich hierbei um den xpriv und nicht um einen normalen private key handelt?

Wenn du den xpriv importierst, solltest du alle Adressen sehen können und nicht nur eine. Ist das der Fall?
Wenn ja, ist das denn auch der gleiche Typ von Adressen (also fangen sie auch mit 1.., 3.. oder bc1.. an)?

Die Watchlist ist ein nützliches Tool, was ich dir nur empfehlen kann wenn du neue Antworten zu deinen (relevanten) Posts sehen möchtest.

Einfach jedesmal, wenn du in einem Thread postest, in dem du auf dem neusten Stand gehalten werden möchtest: Watchlist.
Der Vorteil ist, dass du erstens alle Threads in die Watchlist aufnehmen kannst (also auch die, bei denen du nicht geantwortet hast) und zweitens kannst du die auch wieder daraus löschen.

"Show new replies to your posts" lässt sich, wie hier erwähnt, nicht bearbeiten.

Currently there are more than 20 blocks full of transaction with a fee higher than 20 sat/B.

If you are not in a hurry, you can wait it out until it gets confirmed or dropped from the mempool.
However, if you want/need it to confirm soon, you can always either Replace-by-Fee (if the flag is set; which wallet did you use?) or a Child-pays-for-parent if you have control over at least 1 output (e.g. change).

We both know its not about advertising anything. It's about the money.
But i guess your post was sarcastic anyway.. I don't believe you really expect a proper answer to that question.

Btw, did you know...

If you take the position of each letter in Vispilio's name and add that together:
V=22
i=9
s=19
p=16
i=9
l=12
i=9
o=15

22+9+19+16+9+12+9+15 = 111

and multiply it with the amount of unique letters in his name: V, i, s, p, l, o (=6), you get: 111*6 = 666.


Coincidence? I don't think so. Let's just think about that for a minute.

Another thing you can do is to check the mail header.
While the sender can be spoofed, you can take a look at where the mail originated from.
If it supposedly is from coinbase, you should expect its an @coinbase mail address.




AV can, but does not have to help.
They can only check for already known malware in their database and for very obvious behavior. Everything else will not be detected.




The backup should be encrypted too.
Protecting your system against physical attack vectors, but having an unencrypted backup of your whole system laying around kind of defeats the purpose.

Vermutlich noch nicht.
Die Karten sind ja gerade erst in Europa rausgekommen. Die ersten wurden verschickt und auch erhalten.
Aber in der Regel dauert das knapp 7 Tage bis die verschickt wird, und dann nochmal ein paar Tage bis sie ankommt.

That's what VM's are for.



With the security of an unlocked door, anyone can install spyware on a windows 7 machine.
So its a decision between microsoft and everyone who wants to spy.




Usually not.
Ubuntu is one of the slower distributions, but 2.5 minutes seem too high.
But different flash drives do also achieve different read/write speed.

What kind of a comparison is this ?
A web wallet (blockchain.com) is used to store and transact with BTC.
A hardware wallet is used to store and transact with BTC.

One of them is pretty secure and the other one is one of the least secure wallets. Literally no good reason to store funds on a web wallet when you have a hardware wallet.

This post has been published a year ago.

That's one of the reasons to not use such a service/website to generate a paper wallet. Not even when downloading the source code from github and running it on an offline machine.
It is just not worth the risk.

That's what i think too.




This confirms the assumption that your friend is not in control of the address.




Well, he obviously gave you an address which does not belong to his hardware wallet.
So he either..
1) gave you a different address on purpose,
2) is infected with some kind of malware (e.g. clipping board changing malware) or
3) copy/pasted the wrong address.

It doesn't really matter.
All of them take relatively the same time to boot (faster than windows).

Feel free to go with Debian, Mint or even Ubuntu. You can find quite a lot tutorials on the internet on how to install them onto  a flash drive.

Moving from legacy to segwit simply just needs a transaction to a segwit address.
Just follow HCP's steps to create a segwit wallet and move your funds over to that address.

Keep in mind that some outdated exchanges can not send to a bech32 address (addresses starting with bc1..; native segwit).
They simply don't know yet that this is a valid address.
If you insist on using those outdated services/exchanges, you might want to have a legacy or nested segwit (p2sh; addresses starting with 3..) address in reserve.



Yes.

Please. For the sake of your security. Stop using Windows 7.

There are multiple security mechanisms not present in windows 7, which are used in windows 10.
Windows 7 is extremely insecure. And it even was insecure before it reached its end of life in January.

There is literally not a single reason to still use this outdated and insecure OS.

It is easy.

Download and verify a live linux distribution.
Install it onto an USB stick.
Boot it.
Use /dev/random to gather 256 bit of entropy.
Use openssl to generate your private key, public key and address.


If you don't trust a linux distribution like debian or arch or don't trust your hardware, you will never be able to use bitcoin securely.
In the end, you do need a computer to send a transaction. You need to trust your hardware.


Just don't use use shit like online paper wallet generators. Not even offline. And not from github.
Just don't use them at all.

This might be very well just a false positive.
But generally, i'd be careful with files from accounts which are only a few months old.

I do not imply that you are a malicious actor. I just point out the possibility.
