every time I watch Andreas, I always admire him for the knowledge and clarity he posses ❤️
this video is brilliant. short and sweet to the point and clear
Thanks for this info. Been 6 days feel a little better
The best explanation i have heard about this issue
I'll always be grateful for your help and the effort you put in helping to make my withdrawals successfully. DQHACK.
Thanks again for another great explanation!
I absolutely subscribed to your channel and you put it I such away I can understand and appreciate. Thanks for the info.
Thank you. It was really informative 👏
This guy is the greatest! In an ocean of missinformation, Andreas is a beacon. Thank you!
Thanks man, I've been searching for a clear explanation of this for 6 days now, since I made a bone head, low fee xfer. I have a lot more peace about the whole situation now.
What happened to you bro maybe We have the same problem
Just waited it out and it fixed itself
I withdrew money from my wallet to an adress but the person told me he didn't receive the money and kraken didn't confirm me that my money arrive the message it sent me was that it's Still processing but i don't see money in my wallet anymore,
@@docthunder1413 how many days did it take bro
@@user-bc2uh8ym3o I’m sorry, I don’t recall the specifics, it was 2 years ago and I haven’t been very active in crypto recently.
Andreas,
As I consider not your keys not your coins, what do you think bout providing defi with liquidity for interest?
Thx!!
this is very nice to know. It's basic essential info, yet i'm totanly ignorant of this til now.
The Btc Master Educator
Now thats a second video of yours that I watch and Iwould say you rock.Very easy explained, uderstandable. Great gob
Glad it was helpful!
Even if the transaction is dropped from mempools, a malicious node/miner could re-broadcast and confirm that transaction AT ANY POINT in the future. This user *must* move those coins to ensure that they are safe. You should mention that in your video.
Similar thing happened to me on my crypto wallet. I simply moved to a different wallet and my money was there
that was such a great explanation. I remember the first time I had this happen when the coin first went bonkers in 2017 and I could see it but couldn’t understand how much to up the fee to move it. At one point the fees were getting way high in the frenzy.
@@yanetgarcia4562 ?
Nope, that's an imposter account.
Did my first transaction from ethereum to coinbase and it’s been 3 days and I’ve not received anything. What should I do??
Thank you. A LOT!
This was very helpful. I am new to Bitcoin and this was my second transaction at the low rate but this is my first time being "stuck" for about 9 days now. It is exhausting. But you put me in great ease. Thank you.
Can you walk me thru please my btc has been stucked since 14 days
You will have to stick it out. Mine took 3 months. So frustrating.
@@acgmathtutoringstick it out how?
@@user-ev8ik8ov6x Sit and wait. I was extremely stressful. Plus I continued to add in money to show that I was serious. It still took 3 months. You are putting everything in the hands of the miners. SMH
@@acgmathtutoring3 months Thata crazy 🤦🏻♂️
Excellent advice
Please help I have 3.2 bitcoin in blockchain my Q is why do I have to pay 500£ to see some of my monies in the chain move into my bank
You are the man, thank you very much!
Thanks for the clear explanation. I was panicking.
Me too please what happened to you sir
@@user-bc2uh8ym3o nothing really, just a slower than I was accustomed to transaction from exchange to cold wallet. Took a couple of days to confirm. I’d never had a transaction take more than an hour or so to show up so I was convinced that I had done something wrong and lost bitcoin
when you make a bitcoin transaction, it seems to me that the value of your bitcoin at the point of purchase is not locked in. so while i am waiting for the time to reach the recipients address it is stil liable to currency fluctuation
So wich one is a good wallet?
That was good information
so if there is a sophisticated wallet, why would anyone use anything else? what is the wallet that ALL people should use, or is this just another complicated issue with something that is supposed to be more sophisticated amd simple?
Last sentence was glorious. "1st transaction you need to make is to a better wallet"
are u get your bitcoin wallet or still is pending???
Thanks!!! Now I noticed that to get my transaction of 50 usd in btc done I have to spend most part of it in fee.
Is there a reason why bitcoin core client can't work like a bittorrent client? It can act as a native wallet, download only a small portion of the blockchain, contribute only a small portion of the hashing power. Now that it's mainstream, there would be billions of clients online and that would work right?
Went to move $100 of a coin to my hardware wallet, suggested fee was over $200. Heard about manually changing max fee, so I tried it. It's been over 12 hours of pending status. Now, I'm just trying to see if I lost the $100. Need more regulation before crypto will ever replace fiat currency.
This was super applicable and useful to know during 600 sat/vB (May 2023). Thanks!
How about pushTx AA?
oh man, this is needed. i'm going to be sharing the shit out of this. thanks to you sir.
I have been waiting for half a year for the transaction to be completed on the Blockchain wallet😢
Thanks for your videos... Recent such videos, actually made me put a transaction to test with the lowest fee via exodus wallet :P LOL - 17+ days and unconfirmed... lets see how many more days to go...
Is it confirned yet ? I'm stuck with 0.70$ as fee
There are lots of Services to accelerate transactions around
Thanks so much.
Unrelated, and probably silly, question; I imported my public key into electrum (from a hardware wallet) as a watch-only wallet.
I noticed there are multiple bitcoin addresses (I'm guessing for privacy reasons; harder to track transactions, wallet size, etc). Generally a new one gets used after each transaction. If I wanted to use one of those addresses for something like a "Tip Button", would it work? Can those addresses be reused?
Yes, it's best to use a fresh address for every payment received. If you do not, then anyone who knows your address can see all of the payments you are receiving.
If you imported an xpub into electrum (sounds like it) then yes, all of those addresses should be part of your HD wallet. You can receive payments on any of and all of them.
Just be careful not to leave large gaps between the last used address and new the used addresses. If it's less than 10 you should have no problem.
Thank you ❤
great video
I need help my bitcoin transaction stuck.
If Bitcoin were to have a ceo or chairman, it would be this guy
I'm from India and my bitcoin account has been frozen... what should I do..please help me out
I transfer my bitcoin with a to High fee 12 dollar with 6 dollar fee and its pending for 11 hours now wtf
Please talk about what can be done if the usb cable for trezor one is lost. Can the usb cable from the different colors are the same if a different color is bought?
I'm not super familiar with Trezor, but you should be able to use another Micro-USB data cable that matches. Just make sure it is a data cable and not a "power only" cable for phone charging.
@@chaintuts thanks so much. Do you have examples of data cables?
try any cable that has the same plug on it and it will work. Go to your local cell phone shop
Thanks.
The most frustrating part is that it is very arbitrary and the transactions should have to go in FIFO
"Get a better wallet" It's my Trezor that's done this... lol.
Well Trezor as a hardware just basically manages your keys and sign transactions. You are not forced to use Trezor Suite or Trezor website wallet which sure both are very limited. So in this case you can just connect your Trezor to let's say Wasabi wallet (not sure if this exact wallet support doublespending but you got a point) and just construct transaction there.
@@desther Thanks a lot for that response. I've just been concerned because I've seen or heard of malicious copies of these wallets that have siphoned everything from people. Is there any risk of that with Electrum or what have you?
I love my Trezor, except this wallet on its own will leave you in suspended animation if you are stuck in the mempool.
I tried to speed up a Trezor transaction but it appeared this feature is not available through the Trezor. In any event, the transaction in question did clear after 2-and-a-half days on its own. I did put in for a low fee on it, but not a crazy low fee. Several other transactions at lower fees had cleared pretty quickly. I got unlucky; the btc network remained continously busy for several days after I entered the transaction.
@@sunchips5 I think Trezor have _just_ implemented the RBF.
Trezor now supports Replace By Fee since the last upgrade.
Does this means "exodus " wallet is bad xd ? Cuz i tried sent a transation with a ridiculous low few just for test and it got stuck . I tried send a new transation with more funds and with a normall fee this time and both are now stucked ahahah ( both transations had the same adress as receiver)
If you didn't get your money already , let me know to help you .
Hi, I did a bitstream transaction but it's pending for one week. The app doesn't exist anymore and I didn't receive the cash in my wallet. Was it hacked or do I still keep some hope??

@aantonop The only issue is if everyone moves to a better wallet and pays increased fees, everyone will end up paying more but the number of transactions processed by the bitcoin network will remain the same. The problem is there are too many transactions. Paying a higher fee just passes your problem on to another user/transaction as the network does not increase its tx processing capabilities based on the fees paid. The only real solution is to create smaller more efficient transactions using segwit or any new technologies that allow transaction size to be decreased.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
With a Replace by Fee issue.... Will the coins then go back into the first wallet that you sent from?
No, replace by fee gets them to the destination faster. You may be able to double spend the coins and send them back to yourself though. Some wallets have a cancel feature.
Trezor offers the lowest fee, promises 1 day, but then refuses to increase the fee. I was told it's the best wallet existing
But what if my transaction got confirmed and tx history said it is completed, but on the other side it did not arrive to the other wallet.. how to fix this
And to be specific I send Kcs coin from Kucoin platform to my ledger X, the platform said transaction complet, on the etherscan it is success and confirmed, but it did not arrive to my ledger. It has been three days now..
Any suggestions
Same have u found any solutions??
And if it has confirmed and the receiver says he hasn’t received it?
Spence101g legit
14 days? Then why a transaction I did from a legacy wallet using a trezor in 2018 when. Bitcoin was around 16k bounced after 3 days? Did the wallet caused the transaction to expire before the 14 days? That happened even though the transaction fee was about $1 dollar
Wallets can let you re-spend Bitcoin in an _unconfirmed_ transaction after waiting X number of blocks. Wallet developers simply decide what X should be.
my money is pending. its transferred from my coinbase to my wallet on a market but it says pending. ive sent btc again and it went through straight away. what do i do. is it coinbase or the market that i have to get to confirm it? tyia
are your transetion conformed or not?
What happens if I unistalled the wallet (lost private keys), and the low fee transaction is finally kicked out of mempools?
Your coins will be there when you recover your wallet. Not a big deal.
If you lost the private key to the wallet that sent the transaction you should consider a “child pays for payment” is the recipient wallet. You’ll pay a miner fee but you won’t have it reverted back to the sender wallet.
Love you man. Where can I buy that mug “not your key etc...). Henry from Australia
You can find the mug and more on my shop at aantonop.com/shop Glad you like it!
@3:37 When he says "kicked out of the blockchain" he means "kicked out of the mempool".
And when it kicks it out do you get back your money?

So eventually if the fees are too low, the transaction will be dropped and the btc will “bounce” back to the original address?

I really want to see you debate Mike Green on Real Vision regarding Bitcoin. I think it would be an incredible conversation. Anyway we can get this to happen?
Who is Mike Green and what would Andreas "debate" him about? That is, what things do you think they disagree on?
@@JivanPal Mike Green is a quant for Logica Capital and has some damming criticisms about Bitcoin. Mainly how it works and it's flaws (His words not mine) use cases, the geopolitical risks it poses and how he thinks it's a negative to society. He's an incredible thinker in the finance space and he recently had a debate with Pomp about Bitcoin but I think Andreas would've been a much better guest for the show.
hi, is this principle the same even if you accidentally send bitcoin to the wrong wallet (e.g. bitcoin cash)?
the principle of sending bitcoin to a bitcoin cash address is called idiocy
@@jdr297 thank you but you have not answered my question.
@@Dajlec AFAIK you effectively sent that to a null/unowned address.
@@Dajlec, you should not be able to send BTC to a BCH address; the address formats are (nowadays) incompatible. Modern BTC addresses begin with "bc1", and modern BCH addresses begin with "q". The issue you describe can only happen if you're sending funds to a legacy style address, which begins with "1". Is this the case for you?
@@JivanPal sure, I understand...but just asking from the technological point of view. no, that is not the case with me, just asking out of curiosity:)
