Advanced: cancel (double-spend) a non-electrum transaction?
by
RoxxR
on 22/01/2025, 22:23:19 UTC
Is there a way to use Electrum to double-spend a transaction that is not RBF enabled?
The transaction was made by another wallet that has no RBF support.

I've imported the relevant private key into Electrum and see the pending transaction, but is there a trick for me to cancel it even though I don't have the right-click menu option available due to the absence of the RBF flag?

"Windows is extremely easy to break into"

This is common misconception, unfortunately. You may be thinking of Windows XP or another ancient version?
These days running an updated version of Windows (as millions of users are) is safe.
Of course you also need to use sound security practices, which is just as true with Linux.

Anyone from the old days who reponds to this post, I've got plenty of goodies (some high-issuance pepes, some rarer ones, some fun old assets) to give away!

To qualify:  you must have previously posted in this thread prior to 2018 _and_ you must not have posted anything more recently.

Re: VanitySearch (Yet another address prefix finder)

Just noticed this today. I got 2 extremely similar private keys.  Does anyone know if this could be a sign of a security issue with the PRNG?
Probably not
Yes! This should not happen. Unless you altered the source to search from a specific starting point.

I've never used VanitySearch (because I hardly trust any new software), and I don't know how it works internally, but I would expect it to generate a new random private key after finding a match. I think it's okay to add "+1" from a random number to search the next one (which I expect to be much faster than generating new private keys all the time), but two similar private keys shouldn't happen.

I'm just using the official build, unaltered.    (OS: Windows 10 with the latest security updates)

Just found another 2 similar private keys:

At this point I'm guessing this is due to performance optimizations made by the developer?

Re: how to get block height for given day

Here is another fun way of doing it which is a lot faster and cheaper to do:
If you run a SPV client like Electrum on your computer you already have all the block headers saved up in a ~60 MB file called "blockchain_headers" which is a stream of bytes. All you have to do is to programatically read this file to get the raw bytes which should be a multiple of 80. Each 80 byte is a block header of a block in chronological order (so you have the block height this way too). Then start from the beginning (byte 0) and extract the time from each 80 byte chunk (ie. one header) knowing that 4th item in it is the timestamp.
Code:
version[4] + prev_hash[32] + merkle_root[32] + time[4] + target[4] + nonce[4]

Here is a pseudocode
Code:
stream = File.Read("blockchain_headers")
while(stream.HasBytesLeft)
    stream.Skip(68)
    timestamp = stream.Read(4).ConvertToTime_LittleEndian()
    resultList.Add(timestamp)
    stream.Skip(8)
Now all you have to do is search in the list of timestamps to see when the day in the datetime you converted changes to get the last height of the day. The height is the index of the datetime inside the resultList/array.

Keep in mind that timestamps are in UTC not your local time.

Thanks, this does sound like a fun and effective way, I'll give it a shot!

I'm trying to programmatically get the block height at certain given dates - for instance, first day of each month.
Is there an API call (or just a small dump or such data somewhere) which could help?
Thanks!

I've just seen the below tx go through with a 191 sat fee. I don't remember seeing such a low fee in a confirmed transaction lately.

Anyone aware of lower fee examples (in 2022)?

EDIT: I assume fees can be even lower with segwit, right?

So 32 characters looks like the current limit to have been created from a private key.


Actually the current shortest known address that was created from a private key is 31 characters (discovered in 2014):

Out of curiosity, what would be the cost estimate for generating such a prefix (11111112) ?   Seems expensive.
