Another random issue:
How safe is bitfinex?
I have all my btc there right now (mostly in swaps), it earns something but not a lot. What's the chance they go down within a year? How trustworthy are they?

I don't think keeping BTC in an exchange is good idea. Just make a paper wallet offline, print it or save it somewhere safe and then delete all the files related to it from computer/mobile. Then withdraw the BTC to the address. You are far more safer than storing in Bitfinex. Smiley

I think I'll sell half of my btc there and give swaps for them (earns pretty good) and take the btc out and put them in a paper wallet, a good idea?

I don't care what I'm using (just tried the blockchain API and it worked fine), as long as I don't need to download something for weeks it's fine
Maybe I should just give it up, but was pretty sure I could make some money with this but if I have to process them manually it will not be profitable...

IMO you should use a chrome/mozilla Blockchain.info wallet plugin or Mac OS Blockchain.info wallet (if you are using Mac OS) instead of API as when sending tx, signing message etc.. the private key(s) are being synced. So it isn't a good idea.

It doesn't matter if it confirms soon.  The commitment was to confirm within an hour.  This did not occur.

yakuza699 needs to either refund the payment, or he is a scammer and a thief.

Well in that case, you are telling is acceptable but I can't tell he is a scammer or thief but what he did was wrong. The BTC leen93 sent was enough but he didn't do it. I think he added low fees as the amount was higher than 0.01BTC but he didn't check the size. Roll Eyes

@leen93 : He is online. Try to PM him about this.

tx for informing me, already lost more than 90 btc by thiefs (got less than 10 btc left now) so I'll be careful.
just transferred them all back to an exchange with almost 5 mbtc standard fee Cheesy
already regret making those small payments to a lot of addresses  Cheesy
Already sended him a PM some time ago, no response...
Gave him a negative trust feedback but will delete it as soon as i get refunded

Okay he paid me, transactions

- snip -

Should be confirmed in no longer than 1 hour.
It has been an hour.

None of the transactions has confirmed yet.

Please immediately refund the payment or risk being labeled a thief and a scammer.
indeed, I paid 0.01 + 0.0001 fee to him (can prove the transaction in the blockchain if you want) but not even 1 confirmation yet  Huh
He added low fees. Anyway, it has medium priority, so it will probably confirm soon. Smiley

Indeed, I really would be happy if it was confirmed, but I paid 4$ for it. He didn't manage it so he should give it back. Before it was also medium priority, so anyone could say i process it within an hour... I sended him a message but he neglects it i think (or he didn't read it yet)

and Danny, you must be the most thrustworthy person on earth, you even ask to get me refunded before I say something  Smiley

ok, thank you, what do you use? bitcoin core? I'm putting the torrent file in now but it takes a really long time

Yes, I use Bitcoin Core.

It does take a long time the first time you install it.  It also requires a lot of RAM and disk space.
oooh, that's why my laptop wasn't reacting anymore and i needed to restart it? I think I only have 2 GB of RAM. The same as my phone lol

Or create a chain of unconfirmed transactions and hope that nobody modifies any of them in a way that will change their transactionID.
I don't really understand what you mean with this
This is what you did at the beginning of this thread.

You sent a first transaction (unfortunately without a fee).

Then you spent the output from that first transaction in a second transaction before the first transaction has confirmed.
Then you spent the output from that second transaction in a third transaction before the second transaction has confirmed.
Then you spent the output from that third transaction in a fourth transaction before the third transaction has confirmed.
And so on.

You could to the same with 100 transactions all spending the output of the previous transaction.  This is not safe and carries some risks.
If you make an error in an earlier transaction it can effect the later transactions (Such as accidentally failing to include a transaction fee, and then none of the later transactions confirm).
There is also a risk that some of the transactions will be rejected if anyone modifies any of the transactions to result in a different transactionID.

If these risks are acceptable, it is a relatively easy way to create 100 transactions from a single balance.

Yes, taht would also work but ask more transaction (200 instead of 102),

No.  It should only require 100 transactions.

You create 100 transactions that all chain together like this and that each send to wherever it is that you are trying to send to.  Then you broadcast all 100 transactions at once.

but the problem is how do i make 100 transactions...

You'll either need to create them by hand, or write a program that will create them for you, or find a software tool that can accomplish it for you.

all seperaetily in blockchain? that's the reason i made the extra steps, i'm not able to do that in an efficient way and dont know if its possible?

It's possible.  But if you insist on using blockchain.info API then you'll probably need to get someone more experienced with that API to help you.

OMG,
After just thinking a bit after your post
I can just keep 1 address
and transfer 1 BTC from that address to that same address 100 times (in 1 transaction)
then I'll be able to send 0.9999 BTC + 0.1 mbtc to any address (D in the example), right?

Yes.  That's what I said.

At least it's indeed surpassed all the steps A till C (but they were not time consuming, the time consuming part is still transfer to D)
Is it possible to make more transactions in https://blockchain.info/nl/api/blockchain_wallet_api in 1 URL? Probably not?

I don't really use blockchain.info AP at all.  If you want to use blockchain.info API, then you'll probably need to get help from someone else.

Either create a transaction that breaks up your balance into enough separate outputs so that each transaction has one output that it can spend.

That's what I'm doing now, that's my plan right?

Yes, although you are going through quite a few extra and unnecessary steps to accomplish it.

Multiple wallets? Multiple addresses?  What a mess.

One wallet with 2 addresses:
Address A has received a total of more than 100 BTC.

Create 100 transactions to send 1 BTC to address B.

Now address B has 100 outputs each valued at 1 BTC.

Create 100 transactions that each spend exactly 1 output that was received at address B.

Broadcast all 100 transactions at once.

Done.

UPDATE : I tried but it didn't work, tried to include the receiving address more times in the transaction but it only showed up once with the total amount

now i included a fee
https://blockchain.info/tx/a224898a63430a6c33e9d2e6517cc607bcd37cb0f98eaa723be66a15874e584e
but those transactions are also going to take forever?  Huh

The transaction is low priority due to the fact that it is larger than 1000 bytes and the fee isn't large enough.

You could have created a higher priority transaction if you had only included 2 or 3 of those inputs instead of all 7 of them.
