Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[RealMachasm]

BTG is gettin a little pump. .02 now on bittrex. I'm dreaming of .05

Speaking of, is there a reliable way to extract them from old coins?

Coinomi app wallet is 0retty simple and secure, if you move your btc first.

Tried that with bcash, didn't work. Had to use a btc.com wallet to extract those. Possibly because it was from a pretty old electrum wallet? I know they changed format once or twice.

It You need to recover from seed use bither app. You can also claim bcd and sbtc with it.
If you have problems pm me and I will be glad to help you

Edit: if your old private keys didn't worked in coinomi, your problem is probably related to compressed/uncompressed format, you can convert the format using bitaddress.org.

During the early fork days I helped out a lot of people, I become some kind of expert xd

Alright, got bither running (on a spare phone). Set up a wallet and tried to scan my private keys from electrum, but apparently they are not in bip38 format? What do?

Are they unencrypted?
If Yes, just click "wallet details" in bitaddress.org (better use it offline, the github source for download is linked on the site itself) and use their tool to convert them


EDIT: Before messing with this, try the other import priv key (not bip38) option!

I tried the other option, but it just demands a password (which is not what I set for the wallet) and doesn't move on from there.

 Not your Electrum wallet password but the Bither password.
If you have nothing in Bither, uninstall, reinstall and remember your password this time.  It works.

It's not my bither wallet password it wants, it's something else.

 No it isn't something else.  You have to enter the Bither wallet password to import the private keys.  

And when I do that it doesn't accept it. Yes it's the correct password, it is very simple and memorable. It asked for it before I had even set a password as well.

 Are trying to scan the QRcode for your electrum wallet seed?  Don't do that.
You have to view your addresses in Electrum, right click on them and view each one's private key separately.  Open the QRcode for it and scan it with the Bither wallet using the advanced options and
 then Import Private Key and then select From Private Key Text and scan it in.
 

That worked. Now to scan them all and see if there is any gold to dig up... Should I import the compressed or uncompressed address?

 Probably uncompressed but make sure the address you select matches the Bitcoin address you scanned the private key's QRcode for and you'll be fine.

Compressed corresponds to the public key. Uncompressed doesn't correspond to the public or private key.

 If the private key begins with K or L then use compressed.  If it begins with 5, use uncompressed.

Edit.  I just realized you said compressed corresponds to the public key - that's the one to use.
Sorry, I'm playing with Kraken as well and I think they just enabled trading again.

Alright, imported the priv keys from a wallet that used to hold about 10 btc but it only shows about 3 btg as getable. Weird, but at least it's something. Thanks guys, gonna keep playing with this.

One final question, I only need to import the keys that have >0 tx right?

If you don’t have a lot of addresses you could import each address that has had a transaction history greater than 0.
However if you know which address had BTC in it at the time of each fork then that should be the address which will give you the forked coins.
Good luck.

Just FYI if anyone hasn't cashed out their airdrop coins- BCD is going for $33 each on Gate.io right now. You get 10 for every BTC you held. Not bad for free monies.  

Oh, you can claim those now? I did Bitcoin Gold by sweeping my old addresses with Coinomi, what's the process for BCD, do you have to actually install and sync their wallet?

Pretty much just like you did with coinomi but use the wallets in this article...

I just imported my private keys from electrum (after moving to a new offline wallet of course)

Easy peasy and you get access to superbitcoin (didn't even know that was a thing lol) too. I used gate.io to sell as they're one of the only ones you can actually deposit to.

Did you have any problems registering for, or withdrawing from gate.io? Do they want ID to register?

Gate.io needs no ID or anything, was super easy and quick.  I cashed out SuperBTC on that site yesterday.

Nope no issues at all and no ID required. Just standard email verification.

RED ALERT!!

I have to admit I laughed.

Then I got sad when I realized how shitty this space has become literally overnight.

The same scammers behind penny stocks back in the days of yore have now moved into the crypto space.

No one "got rich" off of penny stocks. Like ever. They got destroyed.

Y'all know gate.io is a rebrand of bter.com don't you? They were 'hacked' for 7000 BTC and then gradually lost interest in attempting to repay their customers/victims.

I know gate.io = bter.com, but bter.com started demanding IDs to trade there in its closing days. They said it was because of new China gov rules. If gate.io doesn't want IDs it (or its owners) must be based in a different country.

I have always thought Doug keeps it real. A lot of red shirts out there..

Oh no..some get rich, just a few..just enough to keep the next batch of fools investing.

I'd say the ID demands were more of a ruse to keep customer funds myself. Regardless, tread there with care.

75 dollars fee on a 75 dollars tx. WAT.

That seems really high. I just paid $11 (0.0008) and got a confirmation in under 30 minutes.

That is just retarded.  I just paid $4.10 and it got mined within 2 hours.  Are you using Coinbase?
