How's it going with the Bitcoin Gold binary? Is it done soon? (or is it already done?)

He said 5 hours right?
Have the winner been posted, and where?

Sure, I guess I can try

Thanks for your answer, I got confirmations now! (didn't do anything though)


Thanks for your answer, I saw I got confirmations!

Hi!

So this is my problem. A while ago I tried to make a transaction from one of my armory wallets to another one of my armory wallets. The problem was that the transaction contained very many addresses with small amounts of BTC in them, and the size of the transaction was therefore very big (approx. 5000 bytes). At the time of transaction the recommended transaction fee was something like 600 satoshis per byte, and the recommended transaction fee therefore was something like 400 dollars. This sounded waaaay to high for me, so I decided to use a much lower transaction fee in hope of it being accepted anyway (and I also tried to use free services for acceleration of stuck transactions since I’ve used one before). This transaction is still stuck. So today I read something about something called “SegWit”, which, if I understood it correctly might help me lower my transaction fee. Is this correct? I then googled Armory and SegWit and found a post saying that Armory is SegWit enabled.

So my question is, can I send the same bitcoins, but using SegWit instead (or did I automatically use SegWit when I sent my original transaction?)?. Will this lower my transaction fee? Or am I screwed since I already tried to send my bitcoins? (even though the transaction is stuck?) Is there any risk of losing my bitcoins if I do something wrong?

When I did the original transaction, I knew it was a fairly bit chance of it becoming stuck, so I used the RBF function, so the transaction is “RBF flagged”. I’m not completely sure if I understood the feature correctly, but to me it sounded like I could send the same transaction again but with a higher fee if I used that function.

I’m a complete noob (as evidenced by me just today finding out that SegWit exists..), please keep that in mind when answering 😊
And thank you so very much for your help!

I will try one last time. You said you would accelerate my transaction a while ago, but it never got accelerated and has been stuck for almost a month now.
Could you please accelerate this one for me?

If you can't or won't, please tell me that you won't do it (and maybe the reason why), so I can find someone else to pay for it
If you accelerate it I will of course tip you a small amount of Eth

Heheh I keep asking myself the same thing XD
I wrote here almost a week ago, still not confirmed even though I've said I will tip him. I guess he's very busy and I can't really demand him to speed it up since I haven't paid him yet (gonna pay him after the transaction is confirmed of course)

Hi again! My transaction is still unconfirmed since 2.5 weeks!
Can you try it again? would really need it to be confirmed soon and I will of course tip you

Please help me with this one

Hi sir, can you try this?
32f7cf8aae7343249ba3284e63c6652e44529a7356841cdcce77b639d4b6fd4d

Do you mean in the free ViaBTC service? If so, I have tried a couple of times and it always say that submissions are beyond limit
Can you try? If you can make the transaction go through, I will gladly send you 50 dollars worth of Eth

Yeah that was my first idea, since I've used the free version once before, but it seems like the free version doesn't work anymore?
And the paid version needed something like 0.35 BCH to accelerate the transaction, which seems ridiculously high in my opinion. Or is that really a reasonable amount to pay? As I said I'm a newbie, and just happen to have some bitcoins since approx 2014, and back then the transaction fees were almost zero. I would prefer not to pay approx 820 dollars for a single transaction, which it seems like they asked for

Thanks for your reply!

Hi! I used Armory, and I think I have my private keys. I was just going to move some BTC from one wallet to another wallet, so I'm in control of both wallets (and both are made with Armory)


I don't know what locktime is, sorry. I'm using Armory, so you mean I can just send the same amount of BTC to the same wallet again and just bump up the fee to something more reasonable and it will not be any problems? The thing is I reinstalled Armory after sending trying to send that transaction, and now I can see my balance as they were before the transaction. Is the transaction "forgotten" by the network? Is that what you mean by the locktime has already past? Can I treat them as I never sent them in the first place? I don't want to fuck up and somehow make them stuck forever..
Thanks for your help btw!

The reason I used such a low transaction fee was that this site https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ at the time of the transaction said that the estimated time in minutes would be something like 20-760 minutes, but now it says 90-inf... so yeah..

So I sent a transaction about 10 days ago and was stupid and didn't give a big enough transaction fee...
How can I get it unstuck? I'm a newbie and didn't really know what I was doing, I just had some bitcoins since a few years ago.
I tried to use the Via BTC paid service, but they wanted something like 0.35 BCH for it, which sounds like an insane amount of money.
Is there anything else I can do to? Do I really need to pay that much for this transaction to go through?

Hi there! I've been trying ViaBTC but they always say that the submissions are beyond limit.
Can you please help me with this one?

So I tried to make an account at Poloniex yesterday, because I've heard good things about them, but they required very much personal information about me (like full name, picture of me and even my full address). I'm not doing anything illegal, I'm just paranoid XD
Is there any good exchange that does not require that much information about me? Or should I just give them my full information and start trading?

I set it at 1 sat/byte and it got 6 confirmations quite fast, thank you so much once again!

Hi again!
I managed to sync Bitcoin ABC and now I can see my BCH amount in the wallet. (I know it's my BCH because it's the same amount I had at the time of the fork).
I now want to send them to an exchange and sell them for BTC, if I understand it correctly right now with BCH almost no transaction fees are required? So I can set 1 satoshi/byte and it will still go through in a reasonable amount of time? Should I enable RBF or will that somehow fuck some things up?

Thank you so much Droark for helping me!

I uninstalled both Bitcoin Core and Armory and then reinstalled Bitcoin core in its default path. I let them sync and now I can see my current BTC balance!

If I understand it correctly, my next step is to install Bitcoin ABC on an external harddrive and let it sync. I can then set the path of Armory to where those blocks are and I will se my current BCH balance? Or do I need to install and run another instance of Armory?

EDIT: And it looks like I remembered it completely wrong about the HDD space needed. I believe when I first got Armory (2014) the total space needed was 2 times the blockchain size, since armory took up the same amount of space. Now it looks like this is not the case (or maybe it wasn't ever like that, and I just remember it wrong)

This is what I was running up until yesterday.
I have 2 SSD:s, one 500GB with Windows etc. installed and one 250 GB with both Armory and Bitcoin Core installed.
The bitcoin core folder is about 160 GB and the Armory folder is not even 100 MB. I don't know how this works because if I've understood it correctly the Armory folder should be about as large as the bitcoin core folder (and it would not fit in my 250 GB SSD if that were the case). But somehow this was how it was installed before (I followed a thread here on Bitcointalk to make it work).
What I had to do before to access my bitcoins and send them:
1. Start bitcoin core and let it sync.
2. Without closing bitcoin core, start Armory and let that finish. Then I would see my BTC balance in Armory and could send my bitcoins wherever I wanted.
If I did it in any other way (i.e. starting Armory without first having Bitcoin Core opened) I would not see my BTC balance in Armory and could not do anything.


Yesterday I installed the newest version of Armory and when I do the exact same thing Armory gets stuck at "Preparing Databases" and nothing seems to happen. In the right corner it says offline and I can't see my current balance.


So I don't really have alot of Armory data, should I have it somewhere? Should it be about the same size as the bitcoin data (i.e. approx 160 GB)? If then, should I maybe uninstall both Bitcoin core and Armory and then maybe install Bitcoin core on my 500 GB drive and only Armory on my 250 GB drive and let them sync? (I have a fairly fast computer, i7 quad core) and 1 Gbit/s internet, so it should not take more than a day or two, right? I also have a armory paper wallet, so I should be able to retrieve my BTC, right?
I have an external HDD with 320 GB (is that enough or do I need more space?), should I install Bitcoin ABC on that one and copy the bitcoin core blockchain files into that folder and then let it sync?
If I start Armory and path it to the bitcoin core, then I would see my BTC balance, right?
And if I start Armory and path it to Bitcoin ABC then I would see my BCH balance, right? (or am I completely lost now?)
(Since the fork I have sold approx half of my BTC, but none of my BCH, so I should have different amount of them).


Yes, will do when I get it to work

Okay thanks!

And thank you so much for your help! As you've probably understood by now, I'm quite the newbie and need very specific instructions
