Cancel Bitcoin Account
Step 3: Withdraw from Coinbase and delete Coinbase account. It’s an easy process to cancel your Coinbase account and transfer your Bitcoin to your new Bitcoin address. Of course, Coinbase doesn’t readily tell you how to delete your Coinbase account. So here is the process laid out screen by screen. An unconfirmed bitcoin transaction occurs when a given transaction fails to receive a confirmation on the blockchain within 24 hours. All bitcoin transactions must be confirmed by miners. They need a minimum of three confirmations to be considered fully confirmed. There are two main reasons your bitcoin transaction may end up remaining unconfirmed. Prior to closing your account, you are required to withdraw all funds leaving a zero balance. If you want to close your account, please contact our friendly support team. At Uphold, our philosophy is to retain as little customer data for as short a time as possible and we endeavor to action any data deletion request as swiftly as we can.
What Happens To Lost Bitcoins?
James Howells of Wales is one of the Bitcoin communitys most tragic figures. Last June, Howells inadvertently tossed a hard drive containing 7,500 bitcoins , which he had mined back when they were worth very little. Now that a bitcoin is worth somewhere around $1000, that drive has an estimated worth of $7.5 million. But unfortunately for Howells, an IT worker, city workers say its too late for him to recover the drive from the dump. The sum at stake in Howells case brought him lots of attention, but hes certainly not the only person to lose track of his bitcoins. Outside of anecdotal evidence, however, theres really no way of knowing how many people have similar talesor how much theyve lost. See also: Bitcoin Black Friday Aims To Get People To Actually Spend Their Bitcoins According to the founder of Bitcoin Black Friday , only 78% of bitcoins in existence were being circulatedin 2012. Since its impossible to tell whether dormant coins are lost or simply being saved, the holiday aimed to get hoarded bitcoins back in circulation. Researchers found that a full 64% of bitcoins have never been spent ; the question is whether they stillcan be. According to Greg Schvey , a Bitcoin researcher, its hard to distinguish lost bitcoins from those people are just saving for a rainy day. There is, however, one big clue. It starts with theblock chain, a public ledger that includes every transaction ever made within the currency. When miners verify new transactions, what theyre really doing is appending new blocks onto the block chain. Each address has ownership of a certain number of coins, Schvey said. As long as we see any amount of coin come out of that address, we know that since the same person has access to all the bitcoins at that address, theyre not lost. Schvey cofounded ThContinue reading >>
How Do You Delete Account?
Not possible if any trades have happened within the last 6 months, after then a support request - depending on circumstances it may then be *considered* for deletion. Deletion may mean making it unavailable or locked out - the information may still have to be stored due to regulations in Finland / Europe. We actually don't have an account deletion feature, but trade chat messages are removed after 6 months. Whilst I am sure MadMaxie has the internal procedures covered European Law dictates that an individual has a right to be forgotten wherever the data may reside inside and outside of the EU, now let me say here that the law is still vague and was brought about by the Google vs xxxx etc etc and the law is an ass etc etc . but through a process via the data controller of a company you can and it is your legal right to get an account deleted, erased etc. It may well involve an appeal to the Europen Court of Justice and the data controller (in this case LBC) can argue that it must be kept for a period and depending on if any criminal investigation is / has taken place or other circumstances .....but Article 17 (C-131/12)1. The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data relating to them and the abstention from further dissemination of such data, and to obtain from third parties the erasure of any links to, or copy or replication of that data, where one of the following grounds applies:(a) the data are no longer necessar y in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed(b) the data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6 (1), or when the storage period consented to has expired, and where there is no other legal ground for the processingContinue reading >>

Support - Multibit Classic V0.4 - Wallet Management Multibit
With MultiBit, you can have as many wallets as you like. They are usually given the file extension '.wallet'. When you open MultiBit, the wallets that were open in the previous use of MultiBit are reopened. If this is the first time you have opened MultiBit a new, empty wallet file called 'multibit.wallet' is created in your application data directory. Your wallets appear in the side panel labelled 'Wallets'. Click on one of the wallets to make it the active wallet. You can click on the small arrowhead (called a twisty) to see more details about the wallet. Hover over the filename to see the file path. The balance for the active wallet is shown at the top of the MultiBit screen. To create a new wallet, click on the 'New' button. This opens a dialog window where you choose the location and name of the new wallet. Click 'Ok' and a new wallet is created with the default description 'Your wallet description'. You can change this to something more descriptive by clicking on the text. To open another wallet, click on the 'Open' button. This then opens a file chooser dialog where you can choose the wallet to open. Note that MultiBit cannot open the wallet files from the Satoshi bitcoin client (wallet.dat files). To delete a wallet, click on the 'Delete' button. A confirmation screen indicating that you will PERMANENTLY delete this wallet is shown. If you are happy to delete the selected wallet click 'Delete Wallet'. When you delete a wallet you not only delete any bitcoin in it but you will not be able to access any bitcoin that are sent to any of your wallet's receiving addresses in the future. MultiBit wallets are currently NOT encrypted. We recommend you use TrueCrypt to protect your wallets from theft. Copyright 2016 KeepKey, LLC. All rights reserved.Continue reading >>

Reddit: The Front Page Of The Internet
A bitcoin wallet can be thought of as simply the password container to spend the bitcoin held on the globally accessible blockchain db. If you delete your wallet, you don't delete your bitcoin but you do delete the passwords to be able to spend them. Most wallets are now HD wallets, the HD means that all the passwords are derived from 1 single value called the seed. This is normally expressed in 13 words, so if you write down those 13 words (store copies in two locations to be ultrasafe) you can now safely delete your wallet from you mobile phone/pc. Now when you reinstall the wallet you can type in those 13 words and you'll have access to spending your funds again. Not all wallets are the more modern HD types however. The main bitcoin client/node is NOT an HD wallet. Instead it creates batches of 100 passwords at a time to use. This is why you need to back up this password set regularly, certainly before you've made nearly 100 transactions since the last backup. (The passwords for bitcoind is stored in the wallet.dat file). Other wallets are webwallets where you have to follow their backup procedure. Typically webwallets are a bad idea for significant sums of money though.Continue reading >>
How To Recover Lost Bitcoin Wallet?
There is no supported way to recover your wallet. The only way is to brute-force the password, this would indeed take an eternity if you have no clue what the password was. However if you a slight clue what the password was, the possiblities to brute-force it would drastically deminish, which might make it worth to try. There are tools/services which are able to do this for you, google Sharecoin: SWaTCPAoGHVpujmTMtvirWVSHWzp23x4WY Did you lose the wallet itself, or the password? The guys at may be able to recover it for you, under certain circumstances. This is assuming that you lost only the password, and your wallet is still intact. Did I help?Feel free to leave a tip: 1NjnUagrpiDnee9scHftcUCRyQCm1zmcYt Did you lose the wallet or the encryption key? If you lost the wallet file (through deletion, corruption, formatting) and you were quick enough to shut your computer down before it was overwritten, there are tools that can scan an entire harddisk image for key signatures and re-create a wallet (for example, jackjack's pywallet). If you lost the encryption key there are companies that help with recovery, as mentioned they will ask you for all your knowledge about the passphrase and use directed brute force. In case the harddisk broke down, the data can be recovered with forensic techniques. This is expensive, but may be worth it in some cases. Bitcoin Core developer [PGP] Warning: For most, coin loss is a larger risk than coin theft. A disk can die any time. Regularly back up your wallet through File Backup Wallet to an external storage or the (encrypted!) cloud. Use a separate offline wallet for storing larger amounts.

Eight Simple Rules For Protecting Your Cryptocurrency
Eight Simple Rules for Protecting Your Cryptocurrency I ran a computer consulting company for a decade. When a prototype ransomware virus ripped through one of our biggest customers, I knew I was finished. Within three months Id sold the company. Simple: I knew I couldnt protect people from themselves anymore. People are always the weakest link in security. I remember the exact moment it turned for me. Id just walked into a frustrated VPs office. I stared dumbfounded as she closed a window with a skull and crossbones on it. It popped back up a second later, the text lurid red and written in broken English. How long is this going to take? she said. Ive got a lot of work to do. The message on screen said, No worry, all file encrypted for protection and safe. I cant open any documents, she said. I really need that Excel file for a meeting. Im late. Every icon on her desktop was broken, replaced by a generic unknown file type icon. Um, how long has it been like this? I asked. I pointed to the skull and crossbones. This pop-up message didnt have you worried? You didnt think maybe you should call someone? Oh, Ive just been closing that all day. Thats OK, right? I couldnt believe it. It took every ounce of self-control not to strangle her. What about this makes you think its OK? I said, taking a deep breath. Is it the broken English? The skull? Does this look normal to you? Right then I knew that was it. I couldnt account for PEBCAK (Problem Exists Between Chair and Keyboard). In the past, if someone got infected, I could always save them. I could clean the virus or reformat their machine and theyd be off and running. But this was a brave new world of nastyware. Even if I removed the virus, their data was toast. Without a good backup, there was nothing I could do. Luckily, IContinue reading >>
A Beginner's Guide To The Electrum Bitcoin Wallet
A Beginner's Guide to the Electrum Bitcoin Wallet Electrum is one of Bitcoins most popular wallets. It uniquely walks the fine line between beginner usability and expert functionality. This guide introduces Electrum with step-by-step examples highlighting the most important beginner features. No previous experience with either Bitcoin or Electrum is needed. Learning Electrum requires practice. This guide will show you how whether you currently own bitcoin or not. Operating system-specific installers and installation instructions are available from the download page . Three versions of Electrum are available for Windows. The one labeled Windows Installer is the most convenient. Choose the download marked Executable for OS X. A bug prevents the most recent release of Electrum (2.9.3) from running on OSX. The features missing in the 2.9.2 release linked on the front page wont be used here. Double-clicking the downloaded file opens a mounted volume. Drag the Electrum.app icon into your Applications folder. This appears to the left of the window under Favorites. Open the Applications folder and double-click the Electrum icon. You may receive an error message stating that Electrum cant be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. Should this happen, locate Electrum in your Applications folder then control-click on it. Select Open from the menu, then click the Open button on the popup. The Software Center distributes Electrum, but this tends to be an outdated version. The instructions given on the download page should allow you to install the latest release. Theres a tendency to trust software downloaded from the Internet. However, Bitcoin creates new incentives to deploy malware through downloads. Unless you audit every line of Electrums code, you run the risk ofContinue reading >>

StephenM347 Jan 12 '15 at 3:38 @StephenM347 I'd like to delete an account! Patrick Geyer Jan 25 '15 at 16:55 @PatrickGeyer, I was confused because in your question you ask 'What if the user just wants to delete 1JQQXBRrG5h7uW8StVtJRcGEdb4YYTqnas?' I'm glad you've got it figured out, though. StephenM347 Jan 25 '15 at 17:02 bitcoind does not allow you to delete addresses. (If it did, the next question people would ask is, 'How do I undelete addresses?' :)) However, you can use the rpc call setaccount to change the account associated with the address. The first argument to setaccount should the the address you're changing; the second shound be the account you're moving it to. (If you want to move it to the default account, put ' as the second argument.) Note that this does not change the balance of the account; balances are tracked internally. If you want to keep this consistent, run getreceivedbyaddress, then move that balance to the new account. You can alsoContinue reading >>

In Settings -> Addresses, you canorganize the funds in your wallet. This section of your wallet is also where you can view and manage individual addresses. You can organize funds in your wallet however you like. Common ways to organize your funds include dividing them up into categories like spending, savings, or business-related expenses. Your wallet automatically managesyour bitcoin addresses for you by generating a new one each time you need one to receive a payment. You can click on Manage to the right of a category to see all of the individual addresses that have been generated for that specific category. To create a new address, navigate to the right category, then click on Manage -> Add New Address. Each new address will display below, and you can generate an unlimited number in each category.
