Hi Guys,
i need some help. I used the transition bot to link my bitcoin wallet. I did it via micropayment and creating a signed message. But the bot is always stating that my balance in the bitcoin wallet is 0 BTC! I use bitcoin core as a wallet. Maybe i used a wrong adress? How do i choose the right adress in bitcore client?

Note: Your wallet has many different addresses. After each transaction the addresses will rotate (i.e. you did a micropayment).

Also, remember that when you link by doing a micropayment, your funds are very likely to be transferred to a change address (which is under your control) and that you might have to send your funds back to your original linked address.

What does the block explorer say about your address? You surely have bitcoins in your wallet but not in the linked address (because they were transferred as change to another address in your wallet when you made the micropayment). You just need to send your funds to your linked address.

Thank you for the reply, I changed method and tryed again. I setup an exodus wallet on my laptop and sent the micro transaction from that wallet which got confirmed and shows on your explorer correctly but stills says my balance is zero

You want to link btc_addr1 to bb_addr1 doing a micropayment. When you send the micropayment m to bot_btc_addr, here is what happens:

btc_addr1 -> bot_btc_addr : m
btc_addr1 -> btc_addr2 : total_balance - m

btc_addr2 is what is called you change address, when you do a transaction, the remaining funds go to a new address in your wallet (btc_addr2 in that case). The consequence is:

btc_addr1 is linked.
btc_addr1 balance is 0.
btc_addr2 balance is total_balance - m (let's say it's your balance).

Your next action, is to send your balance to btc_addr1. (There is no need to know what btc_addr2 is.)

Normally, the bot tells you this (to send your funds to the linked address). The bot tells you it's 0 because it is 0 (you can check the balance of your address in a Bitcoin block explorer like blockchain.info to be sure that the bot doesn't lie

).
