this is a generic answer applying to "light" wallets - I don't know much about the blockchain.info-wallet
There are several approaches that may work. I'm not sure which methods are most easily available for a user of a blockchain.info-wallet, but probably #0a and #2, followed by #3, #0b and #1b.
0) Wait it out.
0a) Wait for the transaction to go ...

Answer shamelessly stolen from stackexchange:
Difficulty encoding is thoroughly described
here.
Hexadecimal representation like 0x182815ee consists of two parts:
0x18 -- number of bytes in a target
0x2815ee -- target prefix
This means that valid hash should be less than
0x2815ee000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 (it is ...

Blockchain.info pairing code allows you to sync wallets. For example, it's for when you have coins on your phone and you want to be able to spend them from your computer. So, they synced their wallet with your account, including the private keys, and stole your coins.
From their website:
As with your wallet ID, you should never share your pairing code ...

Cancelling unconfirmed transactions is easy. Just submit a higher fee double-spend transaction. For example: if you sent a 0-fee transaction, it could take a day before it gets mined onto a block. You can send another transaction with the same inputs that just sends the money back to yourself. On this transaction you put a higher fee. This becomes ...

It seems obvious to me that this is a scam. No legitimate investment in the world can guarantee a rate of return of 20 percent per day. At that rate, with a 5 btc initial investment, you'd own all the bitcoins in existence after 81 days. And after 15 months, you'd have this much.
But you may want to contact blockchain.info directly; there is a contact link ...

However this is JSON, I imagine I can't use it to verify the nonce.
You can. You can build the block header using the data at the beginning of the JSON object and then hash that. Of course it would be easier to get the block hex, which you can get by going to the block hash on blockchain.info and appending ?format=hex to the url. For example, for the block ...

Obviously, he is a scammer trying hard to look similar as the Blockchain's Official Investment scheme but there isn't anything like this ever before.
Many scammers are there, one of the most luring advert is 'Earn through Bitcoin Mining from Antminer(S9)'.
In the name of Antminer(S9) many persons reaching out through various social platforms to you and ...

You can't include the USD amount, but you certainly can include the btc amount in the QR code. The QR code essentially embeds a text like this:
bitcoin:1ArmoryXcfq7TnCSuZa9fQjRYwJ4bkRKfv?amount=0.005
Note the amount here is the amount in BTC. You can generate a QR code for that text using gobitcoin.io. If you just want to insert an image, you can use ...

If you look at the output script for that output, you can see it looks like this:
RETURN PUSHDATA(32) [some garbage]
This script, beginning with OP_RETURN, is called a null-data output, and is used to store arbitrary data in the blockchain. These outputs can never be spent, there is no way to make the script ever evaluate to true. Because of this, they ...

You cannot. That feature has been was "temporarily" cancelled due to numerous reports of stuck transactions and growing awareness of its privacy limitations:

For transactions with one input it is hard to guess what is the change and what is the real payment. However because they may be have statistics so they can may be guess that for a ~4 BTC input there are 70% of probability that the change is the bigger output and the money spent the smaller one when both output addresses are new.
Now if you have a ...

On the chart overview page you find the description "Cost per Transaction: A chart showing miners revenue divided by the number of transactions.".
Meaning, it's the total value of the block reward of a block divided by the number of transactions confirmed on the network in that block.
Here is an example with made up numbers:
Block reward is 25 BTC + 0.1 ...

Click "Show scripts and coinbase" to see what that output really is. In this case it's RETURN PUSHDATA(32)[8013...]
RETURN (or OP_RETURN) causes the output to be unspendable. The PUSHDATA then is just a way to insert the 32 bytes 8013... into the blockchain.
The significance of that data is not necessarily known to anyone except the person who created the ...

The vast majority of the time, none of the 2^32 possible nonces in a particular block header template will result in the header having a hash that meets the proof-of-work target. In fact, the probability that this doesn't happen equals exactly 1 over the network difficulty. Right now, that is 1/6,379,265,451,411.
When no nonce succeeds, one must change ...

someone on blockchain support ask me to tell him my back up fund 12 word in order to reverse my bitcoin which was unconfirmed in my transaction
Sorry to say, you were definitely scammed.
You cannot reverse a bitcoin transaction in that way, the scammer only told you that so that you would give them the 12 word phrase. With that phrase, the scammer could ...

Abe does exactly what you want. I will walk the entire blockchain from bitcoin-qt/bitcoind and populate a local database. It supports several database backends including sqlite, Postgres, MySQL and Oracle.
It will take quite some time to walk the blockchain and populate the database, possibly a few days.
It has a web based interface that is very similar to ...

From the source code, one can see that the mnemonic in fact only encodes your password and wallet identifier. You would still need to access you wallet data somehow to recover you coins.

I mostly detailed the various encryption schemes used in version 1 wallets over here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1012475.msg11105755#msg11105755
Incidentally, it's not trivial to create such a wallet any longer, now that the default is version 2. It is easy to convert a version 1 wallet into version 2: just change the iteration count under ...

blk.dat files contain blocks data in raw format. Also a leveldb index is maintained that helps to quickly lookup blocks/utxo. You can find the details here and here.
Blockexplorers will not directly read these files. It is not safe for multiple process to access leveldb at the same time (blockexplorer and bitcoin node process). Here is a brief summary of ...

A transaction could go unconfirmed indefinitely.
The order in which transactions are confirmed is decided by miners, and generally they will be incentivized to include only the highest fee-rate transactions, to maximize their revenue.
Even a low fee-rate transaction may eventually confirm, once the mempool clears out. But there is no guarantee of this, ...

A transaction consists of a number of inputs and a number of outputs. Outputs define a script that need to be executed to be able to spend the coins in the output. Inputs provide data to enter into an output script to make it execute successfully and to spend the coins in it.
So, a transaction input must be able to reference the output it is willing to ...

Login to your blockchain.info wallet
Select Import/Export
Select Export Unencrypted
Select Bitcoin-Qt Format from the drop-down list
You'll then see information that look like this:

Ignore the other information, what you're looking for are your private keys that look like this: ...

This is an old question but just to say that the dumpwallet command has been added to bitcoin core. This will give you all the private keys in a text format.

Old question, but answer might be helpful for someone.
To get a raw transaction append:
?format=hex
to the transaction URL.
For example:

(I assume here that you have a simple single-address paper wallet, like the ones from BitAddress.org. I also seem to have understood that you use the Blockchain.info app to make the payment.)
You should be able to decide yourself where the change goes (using the web-apps's Custom Send feature), but Blockchain.info's default behaviour is to send it back to ...

Does Blockchain.info track IP addresses?
yes it does, see under Account - Settings - Logging
I guess that disabling logging only disables the DISPLAY of logging info on your side.

Inputs do not refer to addresses, but rather unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs). If there are multiple UTXOs payable to the same address, then a transaction spending those UTXOs will have to list them individually, and cannot lump them together into a single input. The fact that all the UTXOs are payable to the same address doesn't matter; they still need ...
