No your bitcoin's aren't blocked, you just can't sell it directly because apparently they're experiencing some problem. Your bitcoins should still be transferable to other wallets.

There are a lot of exchanges/platforms actually where you can buy and sell bitcoin such as these

• https://localbitcoins.com/
• cex.io
• https://www.gdax.com/

We also have our Currency Exchange section here. You can make a thread there stating what you need e.g. Buy bitcoins through N . If you're not dealing with a trusted member, you should ask for an escrow as scammers are everywhere.


This is true. You should look for a better wallet particularly if you're into HODLING.

Hardware wallets are the best choice in this and it only costs less than $100. If you're not into spending there is Electrum (Lightweight Desktop wallet), Bitcoin Core (Full Node) or Mycelium (Android Wallet)

The site reeks of fraud imo. Better to stay away from them. The only legit sites I know are bitmain.com and https://www.antminerdistribution.com

Here's what I've found

• Your connection is not even secured so all information you enter can easily leak.
• It's suspicious that their S9 is in stock because as far as I know its out of stock right now
• They have fake reviews on their site. The site was registered on 2017-10-26 but someone made a review at 20/10/2017
• Unknown - No reviews are found if you did a simple google search about them
• Only offeres irreversible and pseudonymous payment methods (Bitcoin/Altcoin)

It's the classic compromised wallet which is very common in web wallets. What happened most likely is for some reason (Phishing links, Keyloggers, malwares, someone you know peeking at your seed etc.) the hacker must've got a hold of your credentials and transferred the funds in his wallet.

Unfortunately, Since bitcoin transactions are pseudonymous and irreversible once confirmed, there's nothing else you you can do. Lesson learned is to use a much safer wallet. I suggest spending a small amount of money to buy a hardware wallet e.g. ledger, trezor.  If not there's electrum (SPV - desktop) or mycelium (Android). But please note that most of the time you will be the one protecting your coins since your wallet can't protect it for example if someone did get a hold of your credentials e.g. seed, private keys, PIN etc.. A simple google search should help you with that.

The included fee is not that low. It would have confirmed after a few hours if the mempool is not overloaded. Most probably its because bitcoin is pumping greatly.
I wouldn't trust blockchain.info's fee estimation as it is known for making stuck transactions if I were you. Better use guides such as these: https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx l https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/

Anyways, I quequed your transaction in Viabtc as well as on Antpool. It should received confirmations after a few hours or so

EDIT: It's now included in block 498042 by viabtc

The snapshot took place on block 491406 so if you have bitcoins at the time of the fork, you will have your BTG's. Now, If you look at Address 1AsBHKGWVHVvnmjEaPmd51MPqYZSHztj5d, The first transaction it received was included in block 496234 which was after the snapshot. Meaning to say there is no BTG in this address as well as bitcoins so you can ignore this address.

Address 1349phVGx8ZHhXwbM8Q7iu3NLwcddFcaX1 has too many transactios so I don't have time to examine all of them obviously. But I checked it on block explorers, It has a balance of 5.34429604 BTG. You can check it here: https://btgexplorer.com/address/GKu5EppDvzAan1EtH54E9fPGG7QUhQ49eZ. Bitcoin Gold has its own address format which is why if you enter your BTC address in other BTG block explorer's, They will find no result. It's fine in https://btgexplorer.com as it also displays the address BTC format.

So Address 1349phVGx8ZHhXwbM8Q7iu3NLwcddFcaX1 belongs to blockchain.info right? Is it an imported address or not? or is it an address included in your HD wallet in blockchain.info (Included in your Seed)

Sorry man, Can't help much with the 17 word passphrase. Try reading this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1989044.0. He had a similar problem as yours but this requires you to have your .aes.json files.

It's a pure speculation and nothing is concrete so far. I don't get why some people are making a big deal out of this when a lot of popular sites has been experiencing downtimes recently. Most probably to create another FUD again. Give it some time i suggest.

Here are some of them from what I remember. Check the dates!!!

https://status.coinbase.com/
http://status.coins.ph/
https://reddit.statuspage.io/
https://developers.facebook.com/status/

As i know by that date, blockchain.info still uses their old version of wallet. They switched to a new version now which uses a 12 word seed. So how many words does your seed have?. Are you really sure you can access it? Meaning to say, you can spend your coins not just viewing your transaction history?

And yes paste your address here.

First you have to unarchive it. There should be a button for that there.

To clarify is address "1DT2ttQ7kxBiPZngRyXcwodKjZ8Q6oxCgG" an imported address or a part of your HD wallet in blockchain.info?

If its part of your HD wallet in blockchain.info you can use your seed for the following:

I've successfully run an electrum wallet in the same system (Win7 - 32bit) before but I can't remember which version is it. I suggest running a standalone executable first and try the previous versions if it doesn't work. Import your wallet using your backup phrase in electrum. Just be sure to tick the BIP 39 Box in Options when electrum prompts you to enter your seed. After that you can sign a message.

You can also use mycelium which is a android/ios wallet or any wallet that supports importing. Here's a tutorial for that: http://bl4nkcode.info/bitcoin/how_to_export_blockchain_wallet_private_key

---

If its an imported address, After you unarchive it you'll find your address in the Imported Addresses tab. Click the More Options --> Private Key.
And you can now import it to electrum (desktop), mycelium (Android), coinomi (Android) etc.

You have to go to Tools and select Pay to Many for that. After that the Pay To Field should be larger. Please read the text box that will pop-up


Yes since it'll be a single transaction

Confirmtx most probably won't work. They seemed legit at first but they're gradually showing their true colors. They received a lot of complaints recently from people who have used their free and paid services saying that it won't work. The most plausible explanation for this is because they're only re-submitting the TXID's on another transaction accelerator which is free. Try reading their ANN thread here and searching for some reviews on google. I feel sorry for those who paid for this.

Hmmm... I'm not sure if this also applies in blockchain.info but most wallets will stop rebroadcasting your unconfirmed transaction as long as you keep it closed.

@OP yes, Once it's been dropped by most nodes, it'll be like the transaction didn't ever happened so the coins should return to your wallet.

Lol there's no such option unless you hack their system. Only poloniex can help you regarding your problem. As I know, Exchanges like poloniex and bittrex really hates several entries of support tickets particularly if it says the same thing again and again. Support tickets should be concise, easy to understand and no unnecessary parts that tends to make your ticket a long essay, And of course it should be followed by proofs e.g. screenshots, TXID (If any).

Did they ever reply to you? If its okay with you can you share us your conversation? Just don't forget to censor the sensitive parts of course. If not just answer this:

Did they tell you why you're account is locked? In most cases its because of suspicious activity furthermore it's mostly occuring in users who transacted with large amounts of money. Did they asked you to do to something like to verify your account?

---

So you're implying that your experience should be everyone's experience? How is that possible when everyone has a different account tiers, amount of money they are transacting with and trading as well as login activity?.

I understand that everyone is very wary of newbies but don't generalize them. There are still newbies who created an account here for the sole purpose of seeking help. It's one of the purpose of this forum I think. Please don't tell me that we have to be a legendary member for that.

Yes bitblender is not that active here but I've seen a lot of similar threads where bitblender respond after Lutpin asked them to. If you want to get a response from their account here asap. It'll be faster to just contact Lutpin who manages their signature campaign here and has a direct contact to them. He's practically here everyday. You can ask him to have bitblender respond here

Sorry please correct me if I'm wrong, but what do you mean by you changed it before you took the private key? Do you mean you deleted it in your imported addresses on blockchain.info before backing up its private key and now you imported it but it now becomes a watch address. If so, Most probably you did not imported a private key but a public key.

Do you still have an accesss from the wallet that it came from? Backups?

To claim your BTG you need your private keys, Since its a watch address you can't get it. After you get your private keys, Follow these steps:
https://coinomi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/29000016909-i-didn-t-have-btc-in-coinomi-at-the-time-of-the-snapshot-how-do-i-claim-btg-

That's why this should be a lesson to stop using web wallets. I assume that you're planning to move your funds now to a much more safer wallet.
If thats the case I recommend electrum. It's a lightweight desktop wallet.

When moving to a different wallet, It's more safer to sweep than to import it. Here's why: https://99bitcoins.com/know-more-private-key-import-vs-sweep-difference/

This should be helpful so here you go: a tl;dr of wallet types:

---

Regarding on claiming your BCH, You don't have to wait for blockchain.info to fix their shits. You can use Electron Cash which is a forked version of electrum to claim it.

Create a new wallet --> Standard Wallet --> I already have a seed --> Enter your seed/Backup phrase --> Options --> Tick the BIP39 Box

Please be careful on phishing links and take time to verify the files.

It means you have a very low amount of satoshi's in your wallet and blockchain.info is preventing you from spending these dust output/s. A little info regarding this: https://www.quora.com/What-is-Bitcoin-dust. But the transfer your funds advice is not necessary to access your private keys, It's just a safety precaution from blockchain.info  because imported address/es are not included in your backup phrase/Seed. Meaning to say when you import you wallet using those seed/backup phrase, your imported address/es won't be included so you have to make a backup for them separately.


Since its an imported address, it should be on the Imported Addresses tab if not have you looked into the Archive Tab?

What about your backup for your imported address/es? You don't have it?

Bitmain is legit and thousands of people have already purchased from them unless you've used a phishing site which is very popular right now. Every week there will be someone here who will ask if this X site is legit and so on. But as the above users have mentioned, A pleasant transaction might not be guaranteed. Currently a lot of users has been complaining regarding their support and shipping as well as other things.

As an alternative you can try www.antminerdistribution.com. I've never used it by there's a lot of positive feedback about them. You can try doing a simple google search for that as well as visiting their facebook page which can be found on their site. Apparently facebook tagged them as "Typically replies within a day" which is decent imo. Reversible payment methods are also present so you're technically safe.

As far as I know s9 is currently out of stock so you might wanna subscribe on their newsletters for that.

It still doesn't change the fact that you're at fault here. Next time if you don't know what you're jumping to, it wouldn't hurt to do a simple google search.

Try following it up on their social media sites which can be found on the bottom of their site. Bl4nkcode already contacted a user here that's affiliated with freewallet. Unfortunately, Only free wallet can help you in this. Well if more and more users submitted inquiries the amount of workload to be done will increase resulting in a slow response so this might be the reason why they're dragging this.

P.S. I quoted your image for other users to easily see

Informations asked on basic verification are verified through bittrex pubic record's provider and not all people's personal information are there. That's the main reason why most basic verifications fails which is why if it happens to you, you will be redirected to enhanced verification. But in your case, since you put a fake name obviously it will fail. On the other hand, If a person really has that kind of name, it wouldn't be a problem as long as you can verify it by documents of course.

It depends on you. If you want an access to your coins, you will have to go through enhanced verification although with bittrex current situation there's no guarantee because there's a lot of people who are enhanced but still get 0BTC withdrawal limit. But you have no choice anyway unless you want to donate your coins.

Only transactions with minimum of 0.0001BTC/KB (10 sat/byte) included fee are eligible in viabtc. Sadly Op's transaction didn't meet that as it's just 5 sat/byte


Miner fees are determined through the size of the transaction and the current network condition so the total amount you're sending has nothing to do with it. Most probably its because the network is stabilized and not overloaded with unconfirmed transactions.

And yes, Never trust blockchain.info's fee estimation as it is too far from accurate. Next time use these guides: bitcoinfees.earn.com l btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx

The network is getting busy and busier and if this continues it might get stuck for days.

I'm not sure if they are still doing this but it wouldn't hurt to try


The chances are slim but I tried quequeing your transaction on Antpool
