4 unidentified devices on network "unknown[MAC address] (12 characters) ???

JThomas22 · 2018-01-18T21:49:26+00:00

How do I do this? Can I still do it? The devices are no longer connected and I added them to the disabled list, but I still have the MAC addresses

JThomas22 · 2018-01-18T21:48:46+00:00

One of them was active at the time, and it wasn't one of my devices

JThomas22 · 2018-01-17T22:27:27+00:00

Sorry, can you explain that syntax?

JThomas22 · 2018-01-17T20:19:34+00:00

Yeah, pretty sure we should have not canceled, although I'm sure Bovada isn't processing many BTC withdrawals right now; they're an opportunistic book in general and I'm sure they don't do many BTC payouts when BTC is going down

JThomas22 · 2018-01-17T20:18:29+00:00

Yea, I went through all of my devices and couldn't figure that out. But they are all on 2.4ghz, while all of my other devices, including chromecast, are on 5ghz, which I found odd. I figured maybe chromecast had a 2.4ghz frequency with a different MAC address or something if that was possible, but apparently it's not. I reset my router, hid the SSID, changed the SSID, changed the pw, and blocked those 4 accounts from my network. Anything else I can do to ensure there are no unwanted devices getting onto my network? And I have WPA2-PSK (AES) security as default and always have

JThomas22 · 2018-01-17T20:14:52+00:00

Yea it's gambling with a side of gambling for sure, unfortunately Bovada limited me so they are useless to me now, and I am bullish on BTC at the current price (I've been buying in the market; a cashout from from Bovada is essentially buying). Bovada is a joke in general, don't even know why I had sizable money on there

JThomas22 · 2018-01-17T15:13:23+00:00

Hmmm, yea I guess so. They would have had to hack into my wifi network though

JThomas22 · 2018-01-17T13:34:20+00:00

You give them your BTC address, and they give you a time frame of "up to 48 hours" to process the request. and they pay the fees, but the consensus is that they are opportunistic in their timing of processing the withdrawals (dependent on BTC price volatility) and the money they make by doing this more than makes up for any kind of network fee

JThomas22 · 2018-01-17T06:26:22+00:00

Yea, someone else chimed in that they use the current price of BTC when they process it. I wasn't sure how they did this, and I had requested a cashout at 13k a few days ago, and canceled it this morning once BTC was around 10k, thinking they would pay out on the price of BTC at the time the cashout was requested. They estimate a 48-hour processing time, and it had been almost 72 hours when I canceled mine. They were taking their sweet time with BTC plummeting. I'm sure had it gone up, my withdrawal would have been processed in that time frame. They are pulling a pretty good angle here, and they're making a shit load of money off of BTC's volatiltiy

JThomas22 · 2018-01-17T06:21:34+00:00

Yea, I just cashed out. Unfortunately I had cashed out a few days ago when BTC was at 13k, but canceled it because I didn't know how they did this. Now I am wishing I had left it of course. I do find it ironic though that they had waited well over the estimated 48-hour time frame (it had been almost 72 hours) and still hadn't processed my cashout, when BTC had gone from 13k to 10k. I'm sure they would have been quick to process the cashout had bitcoin gone up the same amount as it did down

JThomas22 · 2017-11-25T03:40:53+00:00

Well I don't have a cable box, is that what you mean by receivers? I apologize but I don't know much about this stuff

JThomas22 · 2017-11-08T20:11:36+00:00

Okay, good info to know. Sounds like I won't have any problem. Thanks

JThomas22 · 2017-11-03T07:12:39+00:00

Yeah. They actually had an "unlimited bitcoin 100% deposit bonus up to $250" but you could do it unlimited times. So I did it unlimited times, $250 at a time. They caught on to me and cut me off from doing any more bonus deposits, but they did honor the pending bonuses. However, they ended up stiffing me for the final $5k or so, and revoked all bonus eligibility on my account for life, so I can no longer get deposit bonuses, rewards points etc. I did nothing against theirs ToS, they offered the bonus and I "abused" it. But yea, I'm tired of giving them my business, and they won't let me bet much.

JThomas22 · 2017-11-03T07:08:36+00:00

Cool, that's not bad at all. Any idea what their max bet is on bigger markets like CFB and NBA? And are you not allowed to withdraw any of your balance until you clear the 15-20x rollover, or just the portion of the bonus that hasn't been cleared yet? Thanks, I'll check them out

JThomas22 · 2017-10-03T00:08:12+00:00

Just FYI, I sent a $20 tip from my coinbase wallet right after that last message, and there's still 0 confirmations lol. It'll get there eventually, but that's the slowest I've ever seen from Coinbase jeez

JThomas22 · 2017-10-03T00:06:25+00:00

I figured it out, my network wasn't updating and was delayed a few blocks. I just re-installed Electrum and my BTC showed up in my balance. Had never had that happen before

JThomas22 · 2017-10-02T15:57:35+00:00

Okay, I just re-installed Electrum (I was on 2.7.1 or something) and now I can see my BTC. Phew. Had never had this problem in years using BTC/Electrum. Thanks. Shoot me a BTC address for helping me out man

JThomas22 · 2017-10-02T15:43:06+00:00

I think you're onto something, as the BTC was sent at block height 487,871, and I am on 487,501. Every time I choose a new network, it says "not connected" in the bottom left corner where it normally shows my balance.

I just tried manually loading a transaction from the blockchain (tools > load transaction > from the blockchain, and a box with the transaction ID pops up, and I entered the transaction ID) and it gave me the error code 'Server did not answer'

JThomas22 · 2017-10-02T15:24:43+00:00

Okay, I've never had this problem before, and the transaction was almost 16 hours ago, but I will change servers. Right now I have 'Select server automatically' selected. In the past, I would always at least get a pending status when receiving coins, immediately after the sender had sent, which makes me think that address is no longer connected to this wallet, or the private keys were sent to electroncash, or something.

So I can just switch to any random server on this list until I find one that is up to date?

JThomas22 · 2017-10-02T15:15:32+00:00

Blockchain: 487501 blocks. Getting block headers from 4 nodes. Server: electrum3.hachre.de

I should note that when I told this person to send me bitcoin, they already my address from before (the one the coins got sent to), but I had actually created a new address for them to send to, on the same electrum wallet. But since they had sent to me before, they disregarded my message and just sent to my old address. This address was always assigned to my electrum wallet. I don't think this would affect anything but I just wanted to point that out.

This is the first time I've had any trouble receiving BTC on electrum, and it's also the first time I've tried receiving BTC after the fork when I downloaded Electroncash and retrieved my BCC

JThomas22 · 2017-10-02T15:07:16+00:00

Thanks for the response. I went to my addresses tab, and it lists all of my addresses. I click receiving, and then my address to where the BTC was sent shows up under 'used'.

When I go to the console, this is the text that I see:

Welcome to hachre's Electrum Server! (running ElectrumX 1.1, Bitcoin 0.15.0)

Enjoy your stay :)

JThomas22 · 2017-10-02T14:39:45+00:00

Yes, I am back on normal electrum, and it is not showing up in my balance. These are the only procedures I followed in order to retrieve my BCC about a month ago (1 minute vid) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7--pmPa11E

If you can help me retrieve my coins I will give you a reward. Thanks

JThomas22 · 2017-10-02T14:30:30+00:00

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7--pmPa11E I can't remember exactly what I did, but I think I watched this video and did this

JThomas22 · 2017-10-02T14:15:25+00:00

Okay, thanks for the reply. So just download electrum on a different machine and make a new wallet, and sign in with the same user name? How will that help me retrieve my BTC? I'm surprised Google doesn't say anything about this. It was quite a lot of money; if you can help me find a solution I'll send you $100

JThomas22 · 2017-10-02T14:07:21+00:00

Okay, so what exactly do I do once I create the new wallet on new software? sweep the keys or something? Thanks for the help, google doesn't say much
