I want a TEST PILOT CODE

BCC will exist once the first Bitcoin Cash block has been found. This can not be before 12:20 UTC time on August 1 but it could be hours or days later depending on how much hashing power there is.


You just copy the wallet.dat file to your Bitcoin ABC data folder after the fork has happened and any transaction you will do will be only with your BCCs.

Has Hashnest said if they would give the users the BCC for the amount of BTC held in the wallet at the time of the fork?

Not anymore. BitcoinABC has now strong replay protection.

I don't know if this changes the compatibility with Armory.

This feature is planned for 2.9.0 which is not released yet.

If RBF was not activated you could double spend it with a higher fee.

You would need to connect to an Electrum server which does not have your transaction in the mempool anymore (just try a few until your transaction does not show up in the history anymore) and create a second transaction with the same input(s) as with the first.

Edit: older bitcoind versions remove old transactions after 3 days, newer ones only after 14 days.

Here you can see how to get to the wallet files on the Mac:
http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#where-is-my-wallet-file-located

The wallet file also contains the labels/descriptions of the transactions.

I have installed Electrum 2.8.2 on Windows 10.

When I try to sign a message/transaction with a HW1 wallet (btchip) I get the error message "No module named websocket".

On Ubuntu I fixed this by installing the package "python-websocket".

How can I resolve this issue on Windows?


I have also created a github issue:
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/2433

I had a similar issue.

It looks like the electrum server I connected to was rebroadcasting the old transaction with the low fees.
I was able to double spend with a higher fee by connecting to a different electrum server which I guess has already removed the old transaction from the mempool.

To be on the safe side I used RBF this time. :-)

I would recommend that you move the bitcoins from these imported addresses to one of the addresses Electrum has created.
This way you can toss the private key of those away and will only need the seed to recover you bitcoins in the future.

First of all welcome to bitcoin.
I think it is great that you are trying it out and that you have chosen Electrum. :-)

At the moment the blocks are full and thus transactions with higher fees get prioritized.
Because your fee is low chances are slim that it will be included in a block any time soon if at all.

But rest assure that the bitcoins are not gone.
Should the transaction not confirm within a few days the transaction will be removed from the mempool (where all the not included transaction wait to be included).
Should this happen then the bitcoins will be spendable again from their original addresses.

If you have any more question please don't hesitate to ask them.
Bitcoin is great once you start to understand how it works.

You might want to try to create an alias to python3 by placing:


into the ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_aliases file.

It will depend which bitcoin implementation the electrum server you are connected to is running.
If the server uses bitcoin core you will see that chain and if it uses bitcoin unlimited you would see the other chain.

The people on this forum are happy to help.
Please describe what happened more in detail.

Did you buy bitcoin from someone but it did not arrive in your wallet?
Do you see the transaction on the history tab?
Is it unconfirmed?

Please right click on it and copy the transaction id from the details page here so that we can check what happened to the transaction.

Are you behind a firewall?

Could you share the solution?
It might help others with the same problem.

I understand.
My goal is to get the friend to see the correct state of the network.
And if he truly is a friend he can send the btc with a new transaction.

Please ask your friend to change the electrum server and restart the application.
