It is not based just on the number of posts... otherwise all the spammers would be "Legendary" rank

It is based on a combination of the number of "14 day periods" that you have posted in and the number of posts you have made... to a maximum of +14 activity points per 14 days.

Posts = The number of posts you have actually made (and that have not been deleted).

Activity = (14 * the number of 2 week blocks you have actually been ACTIVE/POSTED IN).... OR your number of posts... whichever is the LOWEST.


So, your account might have been created 70 days ago (5x14)... but unless you posted at least ONCE in each of those 14 day periods... then they will not all be counted as active periods.

You registered: 2017-06-29, 23:40:08
Your first post was on: 2017-07-27, 19:09:51

That's nearly a month, so that is at least 1x 14days periods (possibly 2x periods) you were not active... your 2nd post was on: 2017-08-29, 19:37:06, another month later... so that is at least another 1x 14 days periods (again possibly 2x periods) you won't get activity for... You've then posted almost every day since then...

Given that your activity is currently 42, it looks like you've been credited with 3x active periods.


For the benefit of others who don't quite understand the maths:

Example 1 - Posting several times a day, going on holiday for two weeks.
Period 1 = 20 posts
Period 2 = 20 posts
Period 3 = 20 posts
Period 4 = 0 post
Period 5 = 20 posts

Your Post count = 80...  but as you were only active in 4 periods... your Activity = 56... lowest value out of number of posts (80) and (14*active periods) = 56


Example 2 - Posting once/twice every few days
Period 1 = 5 posts
Period 2 = 5 posts
Period 3 = 5 posts
Period 4 = 5 posts
Period 5 = 5 posts

Your post count = 25... your activity = 25 as it is the lowest value out of number of posts (25) and (14*active periods) = 70.


Example 3 - Burst/Spam posting
Period 1 = 100 posts
Period 2 = 100 posts

Your post count = 200, your activity = 28 as it is the lowest value out of number of posts (200) and (14*active periods) = 28.


Example 4 - Long inactive period
Period 1 = 1 post
Period 2 = 1 post
Period 3 = 0 post
Period 4 = 0 post
Period 5 = 0 post
Period 6 = 0 post
Period 7 = 0 post
Period 8 = 0 post
Period 9 = 0 post
Period 10 = 100 posts

Your posts count = 102, your activity = 42 as it is the lowest value out of number of posts (102) and (14*active periods) = 42


TL;DR - Your activity will only ever increase by a maximum of 14 every 14 days... assuming you make at least 14 posts in those 14 days. Rank is based on activity


Unfortunately, activity has NO relation to the relevance of your posts... hence the amount of shitposting and "spam" that happens here

Do you have any record of the addresses that you used that contain the coins? If so, do you see these addresses in Electrum? If you don't see those same addresses in your wallet, then it is highly likely that you're opening the wrong wallet file (Electrum can have several wallet files)... and/or the seed that you have written down is NOT the seed for your wallet with 6.6 BTC in it...

It is also possible that for some weird reason the addresses with the coins are out beyond Electrum's default gap limit of 20 "receive" and 5 "change" addresses.


What exactly did you move to USB? did you create a new Electrum wallet and send your coins to it or did you just copy the wallet file to the USB? If you just copied it, it is possible that you originally copied the wrong wallet file and copied an empty wallet... If you created a new wallet, it is possible that you were opening the wrong wallet file and using a wallet you did not actually have the seed for... it seems to be a somewhat common mistake.


I doubt that it is a "technical error" with Electrum.

You are probably be seeing this in your wallet:



What you need to do is, Click "Settings":



Then click "Blockchains":



Then click "Bitcoin":

(Note: You may or may not want to select "remember my choice" here... it's up to you)


Then click "Legacy":



You should now be on the "legacy" blockchain and see all your legacy addresses and coins:

Faster confirmations? I don't understand how the wallet has anything to do with confirmation time... The confirmation time is based on fee rate and the current network conditions. If you send identical transactions from WalletA and WalletB at the same time, both with fee of X sats/byte, they should theoretically confirm at the same time.

The network has no idea what wallet they've come from, so saying "WalletA gives faster confirmations than WalletB" is nonsensical.

as far as i can tell, nextbet is only ever set to bet... bet is set to either n or that "bet * (100 + ch * bonus)" value... given that n is set from balance/divider, it's  more than plausible that your bet jumps from 2 sats to 147 sats if your balance is high enough or the ch*bonus value works out that way...

Also, i think it was Seuntjie who mentioned that some sites delay updating "balance" value... which may be a contributing factor.

Without seeing your script, there is no way to tell why your script is doing anything...  The most likely scenario is a logic error in the script that is setting your  bet amount incorrectly. Especially if you are using "% of balance" calculations (I think sometimes balance value might lag)... or a variable is not being reset an still holds an "old" value so your bet amount calculation returns an unexpected value.

If you guys bothered to read the thread, you'd all realise the transactions were all confirmed pretty much instantly (See how it says +0 minutes??)

The issue was the "marketplace" not crediting his account. This was not a bitcoin network issue.

Also, stop necroposting, especially if you're not even going to bother reading the thread and the previous comments and just post rubbish. The thread was last posted to on 22nd August... 3 weeks ago!

Then, unfortunately, it sounds like you have been using a wallet that does not match the seed you have saved

If you do not have the other seed from when you were creating the wallet, then your chances of being able to recover the BCH are slim to none.

At best, you'll be able to recover the BTC currently in your 2FA wallet by sending it out to a new wallet, but because TrustedCoin don't support BCH, the only way to get BCH out is to create a restored wallet with 2FA disabled (using the seed) so it has 2 of the master private keys required to sign transactions... and you dont have the right seed, so that isn't possible

Firstly, just a friendly tip... You shouldn't create new threads when dealing with the same issue... it fragments the answers and will end up confusing things.

If the next button is not activating, then you have entered the seed incorrectly or the seed you have is not a valid Electrum seed.

You have either typed a word in incorrectly or, most likely, you wrote down a word incorrectly when you first wrote the seed down. It is quite easy to do as there are a lot of similar words like "aim", "air", "arm", "art"  or "box" "boy" or "cook" "cool" or "find" "fine" etc... you get the idea.

You cannot use the BIP39 option as that will, as you have discovered, generate a completely different wallet that doesn't contain your coins.

EDIT: I would normally suggest that you try using https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover (specifically the seed recovery function: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/docs/Seedrecover_Quick_Start_Guide.md) to try and identify where the error in your seed is.

But, it would appear that this does not work for 2FA seeds... That is going to make recovery of your seed quite difficult

In Electrum:

1. Make sure you have the "old" seed for the wallet that contained your BTC on Aug 1st when the fork happened. (Wallet -> Seed), you need this later.
2. Select "File -> New/Restore -> Standard Wallet -> give the wallet a new/different name -> Create a new seed".
3. Write this seed down, it is going to be your NEW BTC wallet <-- VERY IMPORTANT!
4. Finish the seed confirmation process and wait for Electrum to finish creating your new wallet.
5. Get a "receive" address from this new wallet.
6. From your "old" BTC wallet, send all your BTC to the receive address from the new wallet.
7. Once you have confirmed all your BTC has been safely transferred to the new wallet, you can move onto getting the BCH


Getting BCH in ElectronCash:

8. Install ElectronCash from here: www.electroncash.org
9. Create a new wallet in ElectronCash using your OLD Electrum seed from Step #1 above. "Standard Wallet -> I already have a seed". You should see your "old" BTC addresses but with BCH balance.
10. Do whatever you want with your BCH, send it to an exchange, keep it, sell it, send it to me etc

It shouldn't matter if you select "Standard Wallet" or "Wallet with two factor authentication" when restoring your wallet... Electrum will automatically detect that you are using a 2FA seed and you should see the text "Seed Type: 2FA" appear next to the "Options" button on the seed entry screen.

However, what you MUST do, is make sure you select "DISABLE" when you are prompted if you want to "Keep" or "Disable" the 2FA features of your wallet. You say you have lost your 2FA codes due to replacing your phone... so if you select "Keep" it will continue to require the 2FA codes... selecting "Disable" will then restore the wallet with two master private keys... so you will able to sign transactions and move your coins to a new wallet.

Looking at your output, your Armory datadir is: C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Roaming/Armory/

You will find the armorylog.txt and dblog.txt files in that directory. Copy/Paste the contents of those to pastebin.com and then link the pastebin's here (to both keep the thread tidy and get around the post length limits here )

Note: if you cannot find the "AppData" directory, it is because it is hidden by default in Windows. read here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14201/windows-show-hidden-files

I like Electrum for BTC related stuff... mainly because I'm very familiar with it, I like it and in addition to total control of the fees, it has coin control etc.

The Trezor browser wallet is OK and obviously has all the AltCoin support in it

Firstly, the 2FA codes are pointless for BCH recovery... TrustedCoin do NOT support BCH and have said they will not be supporting it in the foreseeable future. This means any Electrum 2FA account you have needs to be 2FA DISABLED when you restore to ElectronCash or you will not be able to sign the transactions.

Having the private keys is also not likely to help... as it is a 2FA wallet, it is a 2of3 MultiSig and all your addresses are actually combinations of THREE private keys. Two controlled by your seed, One controlled by TrustedCoin. You need the seed to be able to restore the two private keys to your local wallet so you can sign the transactions... as TrustedCoin will not.

I think you may need to test your seed in Electrum and forget about ElectronCash for the moment. Have you tried creating a new copy of your BTC wallet in Electrum to see if the seed you have written down is actually the correct one for you wallet? It sounds like you might have accidentally created multiple wallets and have been using the "wrong" wallet... believing it to be the one created from your written down seed.

in Electrum do the following:

1. File -> New\Restore -> enter a new wallet file name like "newWallet" -> Standard Wallet -> I already a seed
2. Enter your 2FA seed... you should see some text that says "seed type: 2FA" appear next to the "Options" button
3. Click next and you should be prompted to "Keep" or "Disable"... select DISABLE and click Next
4. Your wallet will be restored.
5. Check that the addresses in this "new" wallet match the addresses in your "original" wallet.

If the addresses match, you have the correct seed and you should be able to get your BCH if they don't match, then you have the wrong seed and recovering your BCH is unlikely

The fee is "the difference between total inputs & total outputs"... so if your input is 1BCH and your output is 0.999BCH then the difference is automagically given to the miners as the fee. Note that BCH network fees are generally a LOT lower than on the BTC network. Generally, they never get enough transactions to fill a block... so 1 BCHtoshi per byte is usually more than adequate


That is only really a "recommended" security measure when using "untested/untrusted" BCH wallets and/or when having to export/import private keys to try and prevent loss of BTC in the case that the private keys/seed get leaked for whatever reason...

You need the 12 word seed mnemonic that you should have written down when you first created your Mycelium wallet. If you didn't write it down... Open Mycelium, click the "3 dot" menu in the top right corner and select "Backup"... wait the (very annoying) 60 seconds... then click the "Okay, I understand" button and follow the process to get all the seed mnemonic words. This seed mnemonic can actually restore your Mycelium wallet into any compatible BIP39 wallet.

Note: this does NOT backup any imported single address/private key(s) that you have (anything listed under "Other Accounts"). It will only restore accounts/addresses that are under "My HD Accounts".

To backup your "Other Accounts", you need to goto "Settings" and then select "Legacy Backup"

Also, you should stop using MultiBit... the whole application has been dumped by the developers and now neither MultiBit Classic nor MultiBit HD are supported.

Also, read more about "change" here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Change

for whatever reason... it would appear that the OP has attempted to execute the README file as a script... and it has obviously thrown out some really weird and confusing errors.

If you check the README file as suggested by aleksej, you'll probably find that it is indeed just text... and that it doesn't contain any code.

Just as an FYI, the Mycelium devs finally added more fine grained control to the fees... instead of the 4 presets (Priority, Normal, Eco and Low-Prio)... they've implemented a 2 stage fee slider... You still select from the original 4 options (Prio, Normal, Eco, Low-Prio) using the first slider, but you then have a second slider that has 20 steps... currently, you can set from 0 sats/byte all the way up to 262 sats/byte using the various slider combinations.
