It took me like 10-15 seconds to sync. It's a lightweight wallet that doesn't need to download the blockchain so It shouldn't take that long.

HD or Classic? I had occasional syncing issues with classic version.


@jim618 - is this board still maintained/monitored, since Multibit was acquired by KeepKey? Are you still involved in development?

[valkir]

Im using HD and switch to Electrum with Trezor. Took 2 sec to sync Electrum.
Over that, how multibit manage the transaction, I needed to paid high fees for my transaction to pass because he was creating multiple input.

Well back in the time when jim was working on it it was perfect. Now not so sure anymore.

I still use it occasionally.  As far as I know, it still works without a problem.  I do agree with some of the folks above that it seems like it's not really as loved as it used to be.  Back in the day it was one of the major alternatives to the satoshi wallet.  Now, I think there are more updated choices which provide the same or better functionality and have more active maintenance.

There's no way to import from classic to HD. You'll just have to send your funds to the new wallet, which is actually saver.

What is the best way to back up a Multibit HD wallet? Sometimes my paranoia is making me think to encrypt the folder containing all the data and encrypt it using 2 or 3 different methods and then moving that folder in a USB. Is this too much? Sometimes the inability to see the private keys also makes me paranoid too.

The whole point of HD wallets is that you back up the seed and that's that.  Keep your secret words and you're good.  Unless you've added other addresses not derived from the seed, for those, back up the private key like you normally would.

Hi,i can't check the gpg sig of the 0.4.1 hd (linux version)

This is what i get from linux terminal

sudo gpg --verify multibit-unix-0.4.1.sh.asc
gpg: assuming signed data in `multibit-unix-0.4.1.sh'
gpg: Signature made Thu 29 Sep 2016 05:05:55 PM UTC using RSA key ID A3606A58
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found

So i downloaded the 0.3.0 and everything seems right

sudo gpg --verify multibit-hd-unix-0.3.0.sh.asc

EDIT:nevermind,0.4.1 is not signed anymore by Jim Burton,i didn't know he sold his software to keepkey

[tspacepilot]

You shouldn't have to run gpg as su.  Just FYI.

how is working multibit? i didn't use it in a long time

I am not having a good experience with Multibit HD 0.4.1. Every time I try to run it my antivirus quarantines it even if I add an exception for the .exe. I quit trying and just use Electrum or Core instead. No problems with either one of them. No plans to change my security set up just to please one contrary bitcoin wallet when there are other good choices.

Hi everyone

I am using Multibit HD 0.4.1, 2 days ago I've sent one deposit and next day another one to the same address, both transactions to this day are unconfirmed and still sending. I decided to try repair the wallet, but to no effect - status of these transactions remain the same. I wonder what can be done and why it takes so long, is it because the fee is too low?

Thanks for help in advance.

You probably meant to put 0.0005 as opposed to 0.00005 for the transaction fee so yes.

[TroubleBuddy]

It's strange, because that seem to be not an issue in case of this transaction

If I'll raise fee and repair wallet, will new fee be used in pending transactions?

The new fees only get applied on the new transactions you make and not in the one that are pending (unconfirmed), you still can get your transaction confirmed even If you didn't pay enough (recommended) fees but It could take a while.

The network was probably less congested at the time of that transaction.

A transaction fee which is likely to get fast confirmations changes all the time and some wallets now advise on different options depending on conditions at the time.

A general idea of a transaction fee that will get quick confirmations can be found here https://shapeshift.io/#/btcfee

And here is a thread about Unconfirmed Transactions - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1776194.0

As OmegaStarScream says "..you still can get your transaction confirmed even If you didn't pay enough (recommended) fees but It could take a while."
