2141  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Smart to use same seed in differtent wallets? on: December 12, 2017, 08:58:40 PM
Hi,

I'm wondering if it's a good idea to use the same seed in differtent wallets applications like electreum, jaxx or exodus?
If not what are the risks?

Already thx for an anwser.

I don't think that would even be possible due to how the derivation method of the wallet is chosen. Some might have incompatible seeds, Electrum for example uses BIP39, while Jaxx.io uses m/44'/0'/0'/0/0 (?),
( Don't quote me on that but i believe it is different for Exodus aswell.)

Even if it was possible, aslong as your computer is secured, there shouldn't really be an issue, other then that you will need to  take care of two spots/wallets, instead of just one wallet. Depending on your situation it may or may not decrease security.

If 1 wallet gets hacked/cracked the other one will obviously also be emptied.

Hi


Somebody can help me how i can accelerate my transaction please,


4207d03c932804c1495f199f76b4796aaac39223f9b40d603f4b88febade2fe4


Why sometimes the transaction goes fast and sometimes it goes slow ?


Many Regards

Your transaction speed is depending on a couple of factors, including the current state of the mempool, see https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-size, which is quite high. This drives the fees up.

Next thing is the satoshi/p/byte.

Yours is     102.222 sat/B, which is quite low right now. 420 if you want fast confirmations. For more information on how that is calculated, see  https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/

I've accelerated your TX using http://confirmtx.com/.

Please help.
1.324126 LTC sitting out there in no where land. Found address but having trouble.
thanks

You will need to give more information. Where is your current LTC stored? Have you already generated a LTC adress on your nano ledger S?

You can't simply sent LTC to a BTC adress, it doesn't work like that. You'll need to add another "wallet". see https://ledger.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005172945-How-to-install-and-use-Litecoin-LTC-

I'm complete newbie here, can anyone help me how to do CPFP or RBF? I want my transaction to be completed as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance for help.

Depends on the wallet you are using, it will either have it implemented or not.

For electrum there's dozens of guides available, -- simply google. This one for example :

RBF: http://coinour.com/index.php/how-to-apply-replace-by-fee-to-save-the-bitcoin-transaction-fees/

CPFP kind-ish, https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@lukestokes/child-pays-for-parent-on-electrum-with-ledger-nano-s

This one will give you an idea of how it works really, it's not the ultimate guide, so sorry.

2145  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: week pending transaction, possibility to reject? on: December 12, 2017, 03:09:50 PM
Hi All, apologize if this was already explained, I red several section but did not find definite answer. I`m very new to crypto area.
On dec 4 I sent a transaction where by accident I deleted double digit fee sat/b and only 5/b remained.
It was payment to sierrahash which as you probably know meanwhile it finished business.
My transaction is still showing as pending with no confirmation.
My question is, can I hope it will be rejected due to low fee? I can see it pending, knowing it was thrown away, but can anything be done about it?
I use blockchain.info wallet, transaction is 6c7910db58d2a76fb9f493d9cce56670a113bad5343cd27f81a3942dcff7eff0 .
sad, my first experience will probably also finish with this try and will be last.

Thank you all for any advice or option if there is any how to fix it.
Blockchain.info should normally stop broadcasting your transaction after a few days, atleast that used to be the case.

Unfortunately i don't think blockchain.info offer Replace-by-fee or Child pays for parent, so you will either need to export your private keys into a wallet that does support that, or wait.

Or double spend it, although i am also not sure if that's supported by blockchain.info.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycq7O48aPvQ Not sure if this still works as it is pretty outdated.
2146  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Dollar Cost Average on: December 11, 2017, 09:01:04 PM
I'm thinking of starting with dollar cost averaging method.

The ones you running this for some time now, do you invest just in BTC or also other coins?

Lets say I want to put 100$ weekly, is it better to stick just with BTC or maybe to divide into 25$ to 4 different coins?

Every suggestion is much appreciated.

Obviously depends on the coins you want to put your money on, as of right now i wouldn't tell you not to. There's lots of altcoins coming up with great potential, you just need to filter out the ones that don't.

This is easier said then done ofcourse, so if you aren't willing to put in a lot of time and effort researching the coins, i would suggest to keep your funds in bitcoin.

I myself do keep alot of funds in altcoins in which i believe have great potential, but i am more often then not better off by just hodling bitcoin...
2147  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Generate Multiple Wallet Addresses on: December 11, 2017, 08:44:19 PM
How can I execute getnewaddress multiple times (say 1000) on Bitcoincore or BitcoinQT? Are there simpler options out there to generate multiple wallet addresses?



Possibly, depending on what you want.

Are you looking for something like this? - > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=101708.0

It seems a bit outdated, but it should still work, simply open up the console, and try to execute the commands given in the comments.

Which are:

Code:
for i in `seq 1 5000`; do bitcoind getnewaddress; done >addresses.txt
^ Linux,

Code:
for /l %x in (1, 1, 5000) do bitcoind getnewaddress >> newaddrs.txt

^Windows

The corresponding private keys should automatically be added to your bitcoind  (?).

Would recommend playing around with a little bit and to try it out. I'm actually not quite sure if this will still work.

Optionally: you could use https://www.bitaddress.org/ to generate bulk adresses.
2148  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: chain.so question on: December 11, 2017, 08:18:54 PM
Hello,

I'm curious about this site, what is the purpose for this page? Someone tell me that after the miners discovered one transaction in the BTC Network it will put in the mempool of Blockchain but I'm little confused.

Can someone help me with this?

Chain.so is simply a site that indexes all the transaction that are being made/ have made, and the corresponding balances of the adress they were made to, plus the timeframe and some nice miner statistics.

There's alot of sites which do exactly this.

Blockexplorer, blockchain.info, are all sites who fullfill the same purpose.

They don't mine anything themselves, they simply display it.
2149  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are my bitcoins safe if I don't split them? on: December 11, 2017, 06:44:10 PM
No. If you send your bitcoins to anyone you lose them. He becomes the owner of those bitcoins.
No, If you sent bitcoins out the bitcoin diamonds (and other forks) will stay on the original address ( but if you give him your privatekey then he can get all the coins on that wallet BTC, BTG , BCH... all of them)

To sum up. PRIVATEKEY IS THE KEY TO YOUR COINS (all of them) ... so when privatekey is not compromised, you are safe.


That's different from what I heard. What about a replay attack? Can you explain how this happens? I just heard, that if you don't split the coin, then when you send bitcoin, someone can steal your forked coins or something like that. I'm really confused about this part. How that replay attack happens exactly

Indeed, because the transaction signature and hash will be the same on both chains.

Someone could then copy the signature + hash to spend the same amount on the other chain.

Lets say you have Bitcoin X and Bitcoin Y. Bitcoin Y just forked so all the UTXO's on Bitcoin X are also present on Bitcoin Y. ( Bitcoin Y has no replay protection).

You try to send 1 Bitcoin X to your exchange adress, that bitcoin X generates a valid hash + signature, ( for the transaction to confirm.).

Now that hash + signature will also be valid on the Bitcoin Y chain, meaning that anyone could copy it, and sent/transact your Bitcoin Y.

Note that the amount must be exactly the same ( otherwise the hash/signature would be invalid again.)

There's some interesting answers on how to prevent them here - > https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/52210/what-is-the-best-way-to-prevent-replay-attacks-in-the-event-of-a-bitcoin-hard-fo/52260#52260

2152  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 2FA enabled; What does Bittrex / other exchange-sites do more to ward off hacks? on: December 11, 2017, 05:09:21 PM
Hello all,

Since a few months I’m buying crypto-coins at Bittrex. I’ve also enabled Two Factor Authentication.

Past week, there was this news: '$60 MILLION' Bitcoin theft: Hackers steal huge haul as value of the cryptocurrency soars to record high of $15,000'

Logging in with 2FA at Bittrex, I feel safe. But what other ways do hackers have to steal wallets?

The safest way off course is an usb- or desktop-wallet. I like it, that the Exodus-wallet gives me the opportunity for having multiple coins. But except for Litecoin, I don’t buy the other coins. (I have Stratis, Waves, Stellar Lumen, and soon also Iota.)

My question: Off course Bittrex (and other exchange-sites) has (have) a high security-level.
But ‘waterproof’ doesn’t exist.

Who can tell me; What does Bittrex -except for 2FA- to get (close) to waterproof security?

About estimating the hack-risk: I’ve reasonable PC-basic-knowledge. But things ‘under the hood’ are sometimes too technical for me.

Allready thanks for the answers. Wink

Well, they simply lock everyone out of their account without any notice until you verify a dozen of passports or other ID's  Roll Eyes

-- I know that you also need to verify your email if there's activity from a new IP adress.

The security developer of bittrex has worked for Amazon, so surely they are taking care of their security, but i still personally don't 100% trust them either.

To sum up. PRIVATEKEY IS THE KEY TO YOUR COINS (all of them) ... so when privatekey is not compromised, you are safe.

Thanks with the information and please I have a question, what is bitcoin diamond?
Bitcoin diamond is a forked version of bitcoin -- meaning that, if you had bitcoins at the time of the snapshot, you will also have bitcoin diamond. ( X10 in this case.) ( Forgot to mention that this is dependant on the fork -- as to whether or not you will get coins..)

These forks are usually done to improve/change a certain aspect of bitcoin. Bitcoin cash for example changed blocksizes, bitcoin gold changed how bitcoins are mined (Equihash).

http://www.btcd.io/

It looks like they want to improve, according to their website:

Hello,
New here, only been in crypto for about half a year.
I have a question, deposited about $700 into bittrex over the last 4 or 5 months,  it's now a little over 4k. I wanted to pull a little out and realized their rules have changed, and like an idiot I never verified my identity. I did the enhanced, it got denied I'm assuming because I'm a JR, and there was no place for a suffix. Ticket has been open for 4 days, and seen it says it could take 7 days or longer. Is there anyway to speed this up? Seen where folks have had tickets open for over 3 months. Am I screwed or over worrying about this?
Hope to talk a little more on here and be a part of this forum. Thanks everyone

You could try to either contact their support directly on twitter, i believe some people in the past got helped alot faster, or maybe try to PM one of their support members individually on social media?
( If they have Bittrex business accounts)

Other then that, i don't think that there's that much you can do. I've seen/heard that people were waiting for months.
2155  Other / Meta / Re: Google is locking Tor users out of Bitcointalk.org! on: December 10, 2017, 02:08:18 PM

Google developed this tool to prevent abuse from automated services, and to distinguish who isn't and who is a computer-programmed tool/ bot.

Note that this is something you can choose to implement on your service/website, it is not necessary ( although you could argue that it is in this case, due to the forum otherwise being filled with bots and spammers)

*sigh*..

They usually look at your post history and the adresses you used, to see if there's any correlation between them. It is actually fairly easily to distinguish how someone types aswell, although i don't think this technique is often used.

Quote

Depends on the campaign, but usually not. If they find out you will probably be banned from said campaign. ( and tagged for abuse)

Quote
How does this affect the company?

Gives them a bad reputation and generally a lower level of post quality from their members.

Yes, you can, but it is highly frowned upon, and will usually earn you a nice red trust from DT2 + DT1.

What are the main exchanges that are used for trading? I have heard of binance and coinbase, but I wanna know the other options and the benefits of each.



See https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/

Bitfinex, bitstamp, gdax, are all primarily used for BTC/USD trading, then you have some South korea exchanges, and exchanges such as poloniex, bittrex for most popular altcoins, and sites such as cryptopia for really low volume / unknown altcoins.

Depending on where you're from you might not be able to trade on all of them, which is also partly why there's such a large variety of them.

Depends on the service you're using. It should stop broadcasting automatically in a few days, and then it usually returns to your wallet, ( unless the wallet provider is shite).

You could try and use confirmTX, or Antpool accelerator, to speed up your transaction?

They do charge money i believe.
2159  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How to get into bitcoin wallet on: December 09, 2017, 01:20:29 PM
I have a question/problem... Years ago i got a small portion of a bitcoin for my birthday present. All my friend wrote in a email to me was that i should follow a link to blockchain wallet site ( https://blockchain.info/wallet). I dont have any password, all i have is a user name or something (its 36 character - number and letters).
I have no idea, how to get into a wallet? What should i do to get my bitcoin?
Does this 36 characters look something like: 590a39fd-1231-12ab-87ba-65f7b057c2e7

If so, that is a blockchain.info "wallet ID"... you could try going here: https://blockchain.info/wallet/#/login/ and entering it as the walletID, but I'm not sure what you'd use for a password tho? You'd probably need to ask your friend if they remember how they set it up? Huh

Maybe you could just try using the walletID as the password as well? or "password" or you date of birth or "happy birthday" or something like that Wink


Yes, this is 36 charcters thing... i know now its a wallet ID. and i tried what you said and nothing. Me and my friend wrote to blockchain.info and still waiting a reply...
Can someone tell me what is a12 word passphrase? And what 2FA Device is?

2FA= 2 factor authentication, usually a phone which you will need to use to verify you are indeed the owner that's logging in after you fill in your password as an extra layer of security against hackers/thiefs.
(there's certain apps on your PC which also enable you to receive these texts.)

12/13 word passphrase = a seed from a hierarchical deterministic or mnemonic wallet. If you fill this in in most wallets it will return all used private keys/adresses/balances. It's like a backup for all your bitcoins.

Hey. If you are not reusing addresses, there is no way that anyone will know that you own the addresses that you send bitcoin into.
Use a new address for every bitcoin transfer on your trezor (as far as i know, trezor does generate new address for every time when you are receiving BTC).
If you are paranoid about your funds, you can always use bitcoin mixers or swap funds to monero, and monero back to bitcoin (or just use the Dash method that you were talking about).

If you want to keep your transactions private, you cannot post any addresses that you use for the transfers that you wish to keep private.

If you wish to get easy to use bitcoin mixing to keep it simple, i can recommend Bitmix.biz. If you wish to use their tor service, Then here is their onion.

Best of luck securing your transactions, and if you got any more questions feel free to PM or quote me here.

I don't think that's true, you can usually use walletexplorer.com, fill in a bitcoin adress, and you will see all the other adresses associated with that wallet.

For example, this is my wallet, https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/00b14813ccf7feed/addresses, all the ones with 1 incoming transaction are my change adresses.

Or this might only be for change adresses?
