181  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: New in bitcoin, 2 of my transaction is pending and i dont understand "bump" on: February 18, 2024, 05:46:27 PM
I will just wait cause the second TX will be confirmed soon
Are you sure of that?
It may worth mentioning that what matters now for miners is the effective fee rate, not only the fee rate you used for the second transaction.

The effective fee rate is equal to the total fee you paid for two transactions divided by their total size.
182  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: New in bitcoin, 2 of my transaction is pending and i dont understand "bump" on: February 18, 2024, 05:27:20 PM
So if i bump the first tx, the second one is just cancelled and my coins will be back
Yes, it would be like that the second transaction has not been made at all.

If my second tx is confirmed, the first one will be confirmed, so i can only bump the second one ?
Again right.
Your second transactions is spending the fund received in the first transaction and that can be confirmed only if the first one is confirmed too.
If the fee paid for the second transaction is high enough, miners will include both transactions in the same block.
183  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: New in bitcoin, 2 of my transaction is pending and i dont understand "bump" on: February 18, 2024, 05:15:08 PM
In your first your transaction, you created two outputs. One was €0.50 worth of bitcoin being sent to your hidden wallet and the other one was the change sending back the remaining balance to your main wallet.

In your second transaction, you spent the change received in the first transaction. If you bump the fee of the first transaction, you would replace it with a new one paying higher fee and that would invalidate the second transaction.


what happens if I bump only the 2nd?
If the fee paid for the second transaction is high enough, both transactions will be confirmed simultaneously.
184  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: A problem with creating a new wallet on android version of electrum on: February 15, 2024, 12:42:43 PM
I know I'm raising an old topic, but I have a problem that I also can't create a new wallet in the latest version of Electrum on Android, which is an upgrade from an older version. I have about a dozen wallets that I can open properly and they all have the same password, but when I try to create a new wallet the "next" button remains gray.
I just tried to create a new wallet on the latest android version of electrum and I could do that successfully. The "next" button worked.
Change the wallet name and see if it works. Maybe, you are creating the new wallet with the same name as one of your existing wallets.
185  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Btc transaction stuck almost 3 months!!! Please god help. on: February 14, 2024, 05:51:59 PM
OP's transaction was included in a block only 20 minutes after creating this thread by ViaBTC.
First I guessed someone submitted OP's transaction to ViaBTC free accelerator, but since the fee rate was less than 10 sat/byte, it seems that OP used their paid service.
186  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Lost transaction. Can I retrospectively change the Receive details on Electrum? on: February 13, 2024, 06:14:55 PM
I did not put the "requested amount" into Electrum when creating the address.
Is this my error? Can I do aything about it please?
As already said, the address in question has not received any bitcoin.
The only thing you can do now is to contact their support.

I just want to add that you don't have to enter the amount when creating a request on electrum and you shouldn't worry about that.
You receive the fund even if you leave the amount empty or enter a wrong amount.
187  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: address reuse within Electrum on: February 12, 2024, 01:58:41 PM
In electrum would I need to pick under the tab Receive>expires> never expires (address)
The expiry time doesn't matter at all.
Take note that addresses do not expire and you can still receive bitcoin even after the expiry time. The expiry time is for the request, not for the address.

is it ok to pick 1 week expires and would that mean I still get a 3rd address under Coins tab of electrum if the money was received within 1 week?
Whenever you receive bitcoin (even after the expiry time), you will see the new coin in your wallet.
188  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Sending P2PKH bitcoin to a P2PWKH address on: February 10, 2024, 05:04:42 PM
But my suggestion will be to sweep your keys into another wallet like electrum (you can still use it as cold wallet too).
You can't sweep you private key into electrum, if it's offline.
If OP wants to make the transaction using electrum without the private key connecting to the internet, he/she should create a watch-only wallet for making the unsigned transaction and another wallet with importing the private key on an offline device for signing the transaction.
189  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Which one is the best offline Paper wallet ? on: February 10, 2024, 11:45:58 AM
Download an open-source trustworthy wallet like electrum or sparrow, run it on an air-gapped device and generate a wallet.
In this way, you can have a large number of addresses all generated from a seed phrase. You will also have a master public key which can be used for generating your addresses without any need to your seed phrase.
Write down your seed phrase on a piece of paper. (It's recommend to keep multiple copies of your seed phrase in different places.)


This would be much better than a wallet with single private key and address.
Writing down a seed phrase is much more easier than writing down a private key and you won't have to generate a new wallet every time you need a new address.
190  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Softwallets, Bumping and Cancel Feature on: February 09, 2024, 10:37:44 PM
Also, you can just import your seed into wallets that supports the rbf feature and bumb the fee.
Your transaction can be flagged as RBF only when you make that and there is no way to turn a non-RBF transaction into a RBF-enabled transaction.
In the case you have made a non-RBF transaction, it will be still non-RBF even if you import your wallet into a software supporting RBF.
191  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: BIP-125 and maximum total of 100 transactions to be replaced on: February 09, 2024, 04:19:09 PM
The general limit for the maximum descendants of 25 for transactions would limit your ability to do so as well. Because of the double counting as stated, you probably can have less than 100 unique descendants for the limit to be reached as well.
But the 100 transactions don't have to be in a single chain.

I can make a transaction with 99 outputs and then spend those 99 outputs in separate transactions.
If I replace the transaction including 99 outputs with RBF, nodes would remove 100 transactions from their mempool.
192  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: BIP-125 and maximum total of 100 transactions to be replaced on: February 09, 2024, 02:07:56 PM
So there is absolutely no way of limiting transaction replacements, but you could do a million replacements as long as all requirements are met?
If by million replacements, you mean replacing a transaction million times, yes. There is no limit for that.
The limit we have is that the total number of transactions that should be removed from the mempool after replacement must not be bigger than 100.
193  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: [Mycelium Android] Transaction stuck for ~2 weeks, can't bump the fee on: February 09, 2024, 01:40:37 PM
Can someone explain why do the mempools have to keep those unconfirmed transactions for so long?
Nodes don't have to keep transactions in their mempool. Each node can have its own settings. There are many nodes that use default settings and drop unconfirmed transactions from their mempool after 14 days.

Also why does mycelium force rebroadcast when the right solution is not to rebroadcast (or at least let the user choose)
That's how it has been designed.
I think if you don't open your wallet, mycelium will no longer rebroadcast your transaction.
194  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BCH, BSV in Casascius coins on: February 06, 2024, 06:12:18 AM
By "move your bitcoin" I guess you mean "sending the bitcoin to another wallet" ?
Yes.


Also,  "sign your transaction offline" means "disconnect first, then import the private key into the wallet" ?
With just connecting your internet connection when signing the transaction, you don't really increase your security. For more security, you should import your private key into a wallet on an air-gapped device.


(how does it verify if there is no connection?)
You should have two wallets. One created with your private key on offline device and a watch-only wallet on an online device.

Here is a good guide.
How to spend from an offline paper wallet using Electrum
195  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: SegWit address organization website link shows now a suspicious website on: February 05, 2024, 11:12:40 PM
I have never used the website in question and I would avoid it even if it was working.
You should never use online websites for generating a bitcoin address.

If you want to have a bech32 bitcoin address, install a trustworthy open source wallet like electrum or Sparrow and create a wallet. In this way, you can have multiple addresses all generated from a seed phrase.
For more security, It's recommended to generate your wallet offline on an air-gapped device.
196  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: What is best way to maintain your privacy sending payment with Electrum wallet? on: February 05, 2024, 10:58:24 PM
I looked under Electrum's preferences tab but didn't see proxy option, which tab to enable proxy?
If you are on the desktop version, click on the circle located at bottom right corner of the window. In the new window, go to "Proxy" tab.
If you are on the mobile version, tap on the circle located at top right corner of the screen. Go to "Network" and after that tap on "Proxy settings".
197  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BCH, BSV in Casascius coins on: February 05, 2024, 09:20:05 PM
You don't need to use a wallet that supports bitcoin along with the forked coins.
Import your private key into a wallet that supports bitcoin and move your bitcoin. After that, you can import your private key into a wallet that supports the forked coins to spend them. 


Here are some tips for ensuring the security of your fund.

  • Use a trustworthy open source wallet.
  • It's recommended to import your private key into an air-gapped device and sign your transaction offline.
  • First move your bitcoin and then go for forked coins.
198  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: compressed and uncompressed addresses on: February 04, 2024, 11:46:10 PM
By cheaper transactions do you mean on the blockchain network?
The fee you pay for sending bitcoin from an uncompressed address is slightly smaller than the fee you pay for sending bitcoin from a compressed address.


Therefore a legacy address is uncompressed and a SegWit address is compressed. Correct?
First note that when we say "uncompressed address", we mean that the address has been derived from an uncompressed public key and when we say "compressed address", we mean that the address has been derived from a compressed public key.

You can generate different legacy addresses using each of compressed and uncompressed formats of your public key. They are both standard and you can use each of them. It's recommended to use the compressed address.

When it comes to bech32 addresses, you can still generate different addresses using each of compressed and uncompressed formats of your public key, but the one that is generated from the uncompressed public key would be non-standard and it would be very difficult to spend fund from that.
199  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: compressed and uncompressed addresses on: February 04, 2024, 11:19:02 PM
However, I've learned that although sending Bitcoin from a legacy address to a SegWit address isn't possible but it is possible to send Bitcoin from a SegWit address to a legacy address, and I haven't figured out why.
You are wrong.
You can send bitcoin from any type of address to any type of address you want. This means that you can send bitcoin from segwit address to legacy address and vice versa.
200  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: compressed and uncompressed addresses on: February 04, 2024, 09:49:11 PM
We have compressed and uncompressed addresses, because the public key can be either compressed or uncompressed.
When bitcoin addresses were introduced for the first time, they were all derived from uncompressed public keys. In 2012, it was decided to generate addresses from compressed public keys to decrease the transaction size.

An uncompressed public key includes 130 characters, while a compressed public key includes 66 characters and takes less space.

But then how can we identify compressed and uncompressed addresses?
If the address is yours, you can know that with checking the public key or the private key.
If there's outgoing transaction from the address, you can know whether the address is compressed or uncompressed with checking the raw transaction.

If the address is not yours and there's no outgoing transaction from the address, there is no way to know whether it's compressed or uncompressed.
