Annnnnnd here I am with my first post, asking for help instead of showing up years ago to see if I could help newbz a wee bit :/ ugh...
Welcome
Thank you
This was an attempt to move my btc as to score the free scratch falling from the sky with all these forks...
One (offtopic) questions: why move them to Bitfinex? It's more than $600k you trust an exchange with!
Yes because when Bitfinex got hacked 70mil in btc & shaved my head from my etc - eth - btc accounts(like every one else), they gave me a Bitfinex token 0.10 on the dollar in lue of there helping them selves, that made me whole a year later after they pumped real quick like; to a buck.
Any insight on how to get my bgold from Electrum would great
I'd start with Bitcoin Cash before doing Bitcoin Gold, as Cash is worth a lot more than Gold.
I used
Electron Cash (in a VM) for Bitcoin Cash. And since I don't really trust the wallet, I imported one private key at a time, then send the funds, and only import the next private key after the first transaction got confirmed.
yup, I used Electron fro my bcash as well
For Bitcoin Gold, I used Coinomi on Android. And once again: import only as much at a time as you trust the wallet with.
Noiiice I can seed coinomi from Electron, I did it with my Mycelium but wasn't sur 'bout Electron's "special" extra word action...
I don't believe my Electrum wallet has been compromised, thus is it feasible to reseed my Ledger with it's phrase?
I wouldn't do this. It's not about "believing" it's not compromised, it's about knowing for sure. And using a Ledger with a seed that has been on any online device seems like very bad practice to me.
It IS bad practice!!! don't do this @ home Kids... but no, your right of course ;/
without losing any said scratch in the process; seeing as on Electrum FAQ page there is a paragraph 'bout GAP addy of 20 & any unfunded addys above 20 GAP will not be reinitialized... with a "WARNING" attached to this, leading me to fret that ulterior addys(well funded) after those GAP ones, may not be updated either... :? ... wow what a puzzle to explain, does anyone sorta "get" what I'm saying here? LauLz
It's very unlikely to have a 20 addy GAP, unless you sent countless addresses to people who never funded them. I barely ever have a gap between my addresses, and if I do, it's at most one or two addresses.
But, if needed, there are other methods to get your private keys out of your seeds.
Hear~Hear
In case of the Ledger nano S, I have to empty it of everything prior to seeding the thing(would rather not) this in hope that the transaction would be dropped?
I would *never* wipe a hardware wallet before all my funds are safe for sure.
Ok I'll hold my horses on this move since you seem so very adamant while being very helpful... for which I'll start thanking you for @ this junction
I dunno ... I'm @ a loss here
One possibility: if you export the private key for (for example)
18WGdns7CYB98Ctnp32GfGkdQ3oA18LVKG (balance 0.010272 BTC), import it into Electrum, and make a new transaction with 0.002
BTC fee, that transaction should confirm soon. That means one of the inputs from your initial big transaction gets double spend, and your initial transaction becomes invalid. Once again:
do not wipe your Ledger yet, you'll need it again
I will head your advice sir.
I've been curious for a while to see if ViaBTC also works on big transactions (28kB), so I'll give it a shot in 8 minutes. Update: it failed: clicking 19:00:01 already showed "Submissions are beyond limit. Please try later.".
Cheers, from I & everyone
Tip for the future: consolidate your inputs once in a while, if you just transfer (say) 10 of them to a new address of your own when you're not in a hurry, you can set a low fee and just wait until it confirms.
I see what your saying & I like it. Thank you once more...
Bonus: you're probably also holding about 23 BTX (
Bitcore), currently worth just over $300. It's not a fork, it got airdropped on Bitcoin addresses.
This would be the last one I import into Coinomi.
So I "could" reseed my Coinomi with my Electrum right now & perhaps the unpicked up transaction may actually drop & show in there...? A little scary when it's all the btc I've got left :/ already lost well over 220btc in the last 4 years... gulp
I'm just gonna sit on my hands & hope that in the next few months... uhg... the situation will resolve... Gasp.
