9041  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: "Confirmations" question, please help on: July 07, 2017, 04:48:29 AM
They're making stuff up... or they're using some crappy payment processor that wasn't forwarding on your payment to their account... or their wallet/wallet provider is lagging badly and not syncing in a timely manner. Bitcoin transactions propagate through the network in a timeframe measured in seconds.

Transaction confirmations obviously can take a while as you have to wait for the transaction to be included in a block... but again, once that happens, the block info is propagated in seconds. The goal is a block every 10 minutes, so you should average 144 blocks in a day (24hrs*60/10)...

Bitcoin doesn't "run slow because it is an international transaction"... that's just complete rubbish. If they insist this is what happened, then they're either lying to you to cover up something on their end (no stock, no cashflow etc) or they're idiots who don't actually understand how Bitcoin works.

I'd be very wary of doing business with them again... or at least, adjust your expectations in terms of quality and speed of service Tongue

If i could read the autosave file and see which characters it got right it would be good, but the only thing you can see is garble and the prompt at the end only says "passwords exhausted", it doesnt tell you what characters it guessed, if any, that were guessed right.
That's not the way it works... it isn't like in the movies where they hook up some cracking program and it decodes it one character at a time...

It cannot try a password and say "characters 2, 4, 7 and 9 are correct, everything else is wrong". Either the guessed password works or it doesn't...

as mentioned in the btcrecover docs, you really need a good idea of what your password was for this program to be useful... attempting to recover even an 8 character password can take a loooooong time. just using lowercase, uppercase and numbers you have (26+26+10)8 = 628 = 218,340,105,584,896 combinations!

I used weak password.
How weak is weak? how many characters? did you use special characters as well as letters and numbers?

Hi, firstly, you should indent the code to make it easier to read! Wink

Secondly, you should use the "code" tags... so that it doesn't make your post super long! Wink

Code:
chance = 49.95
base = 0.00000001
count = 0
tot = 1
tot2 = 1
abc = 0
cba = 0
nextbet = base

function dobet()
  if profit>0.000000001 then
    count = 0
    tot = 1
    tot2 = 1
    abc = 0
    cba = 0
    base = 0.00000001
    resetstats()
  end

  if base == base then
    tot = 1
    tot2 = 1
  end
  if base == base*2 then
    tot = 2
    tot2 = 1
  end
  if base == base*4 then
    tot = 4
    tot2 = 1
  end
  if base == base*8 then
    tot = 8
    tot2 = 1
  end
  if base == base*16 then
    tot = 16
    tot2 = 1
  end
  if base == base*32 then
    tot = 32
    tot2 = 1
  end
  if base == base*64 then
    tot = 64
    tot2 = 1
  end
  if base == base*128 then
    tot = 128
    tot2 = 1
  end
  if base<0.00000001 then
    base = 0.00000001
    count = 0
    abc = 0
    cba = 0
  end
 
  count = count+1
 
  if count>10 and abc>cba then
    base = base/2
    count = 0
    abc = 0
    cba = 0
  end
  if count>10 and abc<cba then
    base = base*2
    count = 0
    abc = 0
    cba = 0
  end
 
  if win then
    abc = abc+tot
    nextbet = base
  else
    cba = cba+tot2
    nextbet = base
  end

end

Thirdly, the whole script is logically broken. None of those "if base == base * x" will ever evaluate to true... that's like saying: if 2 == 2 * 2... or if 2 == 2 * 16... obviously, that can NEVER happen. You will need to use a different variable... something like "betAmount" so you can say "if betAmount == base * 2 then"... otherwise you script looks like it isn't really going to do anything.

As for making the script stop if the multiplier is 8... I would think that putting stop() command in the "if betAmount == base * 8 then" section would stop it.

Code:
  if betAmount == base * 8 then
    stop()
  end
9044  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: upgraded electrum, refund sent to old address on: July 06, 2017, 01:27:01 PM
Ahh.... they've tried to refund to what they think is the change address... but I think they refunded it to themselves!  Roll Eyes

In your original transaction, you created outputs:
14A9qNNXsg9ywGFPqcku1V87pVDc5tCFcR - (Spent) 0.02612337 BTC
1A4n3C7adw5dgWpbktHcMCzEC6yjvyxRzF - (Spent) 0.46608539 BTC

Now, If I'm correct, you were attempting to send 0.02612337 BTC right? and 1A4n3C7adw5dgWpbktHcMCzEC6yjvyxRzF is an address that YOU own right? (should be in your Addresses tab in Electrum or use ismine() on the console).

Well in this latest transaction... they have created these outputs:
14A9qNNXsg9ywGFPqcku1V87pVDc5tCFcR - (Spent) 0.02561027 BTC
1K8ba2SpCxX7EvdRnio9swiAFHRZGTcNE4 - (Spent) 34.48766378 BTC

They sent the "same"[1] amount to the same address!!  Roll Eyes  Undecided

You'll need to contact them and tell them they need to send that 0.02561027 BTC amount to either 1A4n3C7adw5dgWpbktHcMCzEC6yjvyxRzF or your original 1LKmBfnfUkRXBAVkzmjFBBUaqikoxF78Va address!


[1] actually slightly less, but I'm assuming they're converting USD to BTC
9045  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Online Wallets on: July 06, 2017, 09:40:43 AM
The "hardware dongle" is just a USB OTG cable/adapter.

No, the mobile app doesn't manage your keys. The mobile app will create a transaction and "send" it to the hardware wallet to sign. The hardware wallet signs the transaction and sends it back to the mobile app to broadcast to the network.

That is the beauty of the hardware wallet... the private keys exist only within the hardware wallet and are never exposed to computers, smartphones or the internet etc. This is why even you can even use a hardware wallet on a public PC in an internet cafe... your keys are never exposed.

Also, you don't necessarily need to use the hardware wallet manufacturer's mobile app either. A lot of the mobile wallets like Mycelium (Android) have builtin support for the Trezor and Ledger wallets.

You might want to go and search up some of the videos on youtube regarding using hardware wallets with mobile phones like these two:

9046  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum Wallet Expert on: July 06, 2017, 09:04:06 AM
Electrum Wallet charged me.
No, it didn't. That fee doesn't go to the wallet... it goes to the miners. This is how the bitcoin network works. Did you read about the transaction fees in the link I put in my previous message? You have to pay a fee to get your transaction mined into a block, that's the way bitcoin works.

Electrum is one of the better wallets for giving you complete control over the transaction fee you want to include in your transaction. By default it uses a dynamic fee system that adjusts to the current network conditions to calculate a fee for a fast confirmation time. If you want, you can adjust the slider to reduce the fee (but increase the time it takes for confirmation) or even go for a manual fee setting where you can calculate it yourself and enter specific fee amounts.
9047  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: upgraded electrum, refund sent to old address on: July 06, 2017, 08:59:03 AM
If that is the original payment you made to BitPay... Then they didn't refund the payment to your original address. Huh

According to that transaction, you sent from address: 1LKmBfnfUkRXBAVkzmjFBBUaqikoxF78Va

There are currently NO transactions involving that address since 20th May 2017. Did they give you a transaction ID for the refund transaction? Or the address they supposedly sent it to?
9048  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: 24 hours, yet unconfirmed. on: July 06, 2017, 06:40:05 AM
To clairfy a few things, first of all yes I am using blockchain, I'll make a switch soon.

Second, here is a image of the transaction you and me are talkinga about, as you can see the latest transaction is the one I am talking about 42 usd that I sent that is still unconfirmed. And under that you can see that I recived 42 dollars worth of btc which is a confirmed transaction.

Image: http://imgur.com/a/SDled
First of all, you need to stop talking in terms of "dollars"... the price of bitcoin flucuates... quite rapidly, so what is "42 usd" today, may be "50 usd" or "30 usd" tomorrow Tongue

To illustrate this... I'm assuming that the confirmed transaction where you received "$43.50" was this one: a149de70b5e2c4273c7f54525a1d983438a2d17787d677d025cbaee75707af87

Your address (1CsLhHpePbgh8t6btzBFvpvXYTAYb5Fg5Q) actually received: 0.01665542 BTC

You have then attempted to send "$43.74" to 1CcVXweAUJEWYYJEqUQzDgzRH7omQXjEWJ... which was 0.01665542 BTC... see how the same amount of BTC is now worth an extra $0.24c!

Anyway, because you attempted to send the FULL amount (0.01665542), there wasn't any left over for mining fees... so b.info needed to add in an extra input to your transaction to cover the mining fees. Unfortunately for you, the input it decided to use comes from an unconfirmed transaction (as blockchain.info likes to let people use outputs from unconfirmed transactions... Undecided)

Eventually, if you're really lucky, blockchain.info will stop re-broadcasting your transaction and your coins will be respendable... Having said that, I've seen b.info continue to rebroadcast other peoples transactions for several weeks. The transaction itself looks like it hasn't propogated properly (most likely due to that whole chain of unconfirmed transactions originating from the so-called "bitcoin doubler").

You might want to contact their support, give them your Transaction ID and ask them if they can remove it from your wallet and their mempool and stop rebroadcasting it.

Alternatively, you can put your 12 word backup seed in an offline copy of the mnemonic code converter (https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/)... Leave everything else untouched... and your addresses/private keys should be listed at the bottom. Import or sweep the private key for your 1CcVXweAUJEWYYJEqUQzDgzRH7omQXjEWJ address (or all your addresses) to another wallet and you should be able to respend those coins. (NOTE: If you want to find ALL your coins/addresses, you may need to set the "External/Internal" value to 1 to get your "Change Address(es) and private keys")
9049  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Seed lost (waves wallet) REWARD on: July 06, 2017, 06:17:00 AM
Your biggest problem with regards to data recovery is that I assume it was on your main harddisk... which you are currently still using. Any new data you write to disk may overwrite the deleted files and make recovery impossible.

If possible you should stop using that drive immediately... and connect it up via an adapter to another machine. But I suspect that, given that you're talking about Safari and Time Machine, you're running Mac OSX. Which probably means the drive isn't easily accessible and/or removable.

As for the recovery itself, sadly, there isn't a version of "Recuva" for Mac... but apparently PhotoRec is supposed to be OK. Check it out here: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec

Best of luck.

How would you use hardware wallets with your phone then?
Can you plug them into your phone just like you can to your computer?
Your phone needs to support "USB Host" mode and you'll need to have a USB OTG ("On-The-Go") cable to connect to the micro-USB port on your phone.

Most modern (mid-range+) smartphones *should* support OTG... but some of the cheaper, low end models may not (ie. Samsung Galaxy J1 does NOT). If you google "SmartPhoneModel OTG" you should be able to find out if it supports OTG or not.
9051  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Looking for help with my wallet! on: July 06, 2017, 04:03:53 AM
What wallet software are you using... and what instructions are you following? "Settings/bitcoin/payout" sounds like you're logged into some online web-browser based service... or possibly a very old version of Bitcoin-QT Huh
9052  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: upgraded electrum, refund sent to old address on: July 06, 2017, 03:43:41 AM
Uninstalling doesn't delete the wallet file in the default wallet directory... so it would still have been there after you upgraded.

So you still have all the transaction history... which means you also have the original transaction showing correct? If you don't see the original transaction, then you didn't send from this wallet... and whatever address the transaction came from (and was refunded to) is most likely not contained within the wallet.

If you do see the transaction, then the address is most likely contained within the wallet. The private key may or may not be contained within the wallet... it depends if it is a watching only wallet or not.

Is there any chance you can post the TXID of the original transaction or bitcoin addresses involved?
9053  Other / MultiBit / Re: Multibit HD 0.3.0 Max Fee Limitation - Need to empty wallet on: July 06, 2017, 01:38:03 AM
I had use BITHER in connection with Mnemonic and i could save all my Bitcoin.
So you were able to use BITHER with the Mnemonic? If so, How? I have tried both the desktop and Android versions of Bither... and neither of them seem to be able to recreate a MultiBit HD wallet from the Mnemonic successfully. BITHER seems to use Derivation Path of m/44'/0'/0'/0

Or do you mean you used the mnemonic code converter page (https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/) and imported your keys to Bither?

Apps that I know to work are:
Breadwallet (iOS/Android)
Simple Bitcoin Wallet (Android)
Coinomi (Android - Use "Advanced Settings" and derivation path "M/0H")
9054  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [READ] About blockchain.info's web wallet and "stuck" transactions on: July 06, 2017, 01:07:51 AM
CPFP is dependent on being able to "spend" one of the outputs of the "stuck" transaction. It isn't really dependent on the "inputs", so it shouldn't matter how many addresses you've sent from (aside from the fact that the number of inputs is usually the main factor in transaction size, which obviously impacts on the amount of fee required for the CPFP)
9055  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Suddenly Core wallet is not responding on: July 06, 2017, 01:01:08 AM
Honestly, run MemTest86 (http://www.memtest86.com/). It is the "best" memory testing tool there is... it will work your RAM through a suite of comprehensive tests and identify if it is reliable or not.

I've previously had a Windows box that used to run perfectly until I ran one specific app and it would crash. I'd tried everything... reinstalling App, reinstalling OS etc... Eventually ran MemTest and it identified one of my RAM sticks as generating the occasional "random" error... Switched the RAM stick out... and everything worked perfectly!
9056  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum Wallet Expert on: July 06, 2017, 12:39:53 AM
If you read HCP post ,he told me i will be charged once 0.01BTC for 100 transactions ,and rest 99 transactions will be free ,they charge me 0.01BTC on first transaction and on second transaction again charged me 0.000613 as mining charges.So it is very confusing for me .
Sorry... perhaps I was not clear... you have created a "2FA" (Two Factor Authentication) wallet in Electrum. This involves using the services of a Third Party Service (TrustedCoin) who provide the 2FA functionality. They charge per transaction to provide the 2FA service.

These 2FA charges are in addition to the normal Bitcoin network transaction fee (aka miners fee).

You were not charged by TrustedCoin in your second transaction. That 0.000613 is the network transaction fee ("miners fee"). All bitcoin transactions incur a network transaction fee. This is the fee that gets paid to miners as a "reward" for including your transaction in a block. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees (note, this information may be a little out of date). This fee is payable regardless of any other service fees you might be paying (ie. 2FA, or withdrawl fee from exchange or online web service etc)

The general rules of thumb regarding miners fees are:
  • Fees are calculated based on your transaction data size. Data size is influenced by the number of inputs and outputs in a transaction. NOTE: The amount of BTC being sent/received is usually irrelevant.
  • Fees should be caculated on a satoshis/Byte (or BTC/kiloByte) basis
  • The larger your fee rate, the more likely it is for a miner to include it in a block

Hopefully that clears some things up...
9057  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Put coins into single address on: July 05, 2017, 08:23:59 AM
This way guarantees you'll include ALL the UTXOs in your wallet and won't miss any if you start adjusting the fees...  I've had instances before where adjusting a fee would drop a UTXO out of the transaction as the total amount required had reduced.

Granted it happened when there were like 15-20 inputs and there were a couple of "dust" sized UTXOs included in the mix... so it's quite possible that this wouldn't happen to others and/or the Electrum behaviour may have changed... but I know that by manually selecting all the UTXOs, none of them will be missed.

Besides, it isn't like it does any harm and takes about 5 extra mouse clicks... Tongue
9058  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Core wallet and private keys on: July 05, 2017, 05:45:11 AM
personally, I believe having unencrypted copies of your private keys laying around is pretty dangerous... how/where would you store these keys?

As long as you have a backup of your wallet.dat file and you created this wallet.dat using a version of Core from v0.13+ then you should have an HD wallet and will be able to regenerate all your keys by restoring from this backup file.

If your wallet was created BEFORE v0.13 then I believe regular backups of wallet.dat are required to prevent "losing" newer private keys once the default keypool is exhausted.

All the usual warnings about having unencrypted private keys on an online computer apply here... having your keys exposed increases the risk of losing your coins.
9059  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Put coins into single address on: July 05, 2017, 05:38:00 AM
What were the fees showing as? as long as you can look on blockchain.info and it shows a fee higher than 10 sats/byte you can always try and use the ViaBTC TX Accelerator.

If it comes up less than 10 sats/byte, you can give me the TXID and I can try pushing it through another service that I know Wink
9060  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: missing BTC in Excodus wallet on: July 05, 2017, 05:33:07 AM
seems pretty simple...

I had a good talk with Exodus walletsupport

Probably the amount ( on July 1st ) was not correct updated in my wallet.
So on the screen the amount was enough in reality the wallet was already almost empty...
Exodus walletsupport found out that on 29 th June the wallet was already almost empty...
His wallet was not showing the balance correctly. So he THOUGHT he had 0.143 BTC in his wallet. In reality, he only had 0.003 BTC in his wallet. He sent 2 transactions and both times got the broadcast error... most likely because of "missing inputs" as they would already have been spent (and likely already confirmed) in other previous transactions. I'm not sure exactly what error he got but "'Broadcast Error', something like that" seems about right.

Quote
I can see transactions on the blockchain. But as newbe I  don t understand how I can check my amount in my wallet (on the blockchain )
He knows enough to be able to go and copy/paste a transaction into a block explorer like blockchain.info, but doesn't understand how to work out what the balance in his wallet "should" be by using a block explorer.

To the OP, the process for checking what your wallet balance should be is:
Check your "Addresses" on a block explorer like blockchain.info... you should be able to see the "Final Balance" amount for each address in your wallet. Add all of those "Final Balance" amounts together and you should have your current balance.

It may get slightly complicated if your wallet does not provide a list of your "change addresses" as you need to check the "Final Balance" of each of those as well... From memory, Exodus seems to like to hide a lot of things from the user, so I'm unsure if you can actually see your change addresses?
