I’ve heard mixed things about hardware wallets. Some say they’re great, others have horror stories.

Ah, I think I see where I went wrong. I wasn’t planning to enter any password on the online machine.

Thanks, I’m trying Electrum now. Is it true that if I sign a transaction offline and then move the wallet file to the online machine, I don’t need a password there?

Can you explain why that matters? I'm learning, but I thought entering the wallet passphrase on the offline computer keeps my keys safe.

Yeah, I hear you. I’m just trying to make sure I understand everything. I thought all transactions not synced were stored in wallet.dat until confirmed.

I get it now. I was worried about which files in the app data change when you send a transaction. I didn’t want to miss anything important.

Thanks for the tips! I’m diving into verifying PGP signatures now. But could anyone explain something to me? If I send a transaction from a wallet that’s not synced...

I’ve got two laptops. Laptop 1 is the offline one with v21, used to receive BTC ages ago. Laptop 2 is online just to broadcast transactions. I was confused about signing transactions on the offline machine.

Hey everyone. I'm in a bit of a pickle. I’ve got this old core wallet.dat with Bitcoin Core v21 sitting on a laptop that hasn’t been online for years. It has under 0.1 BTC, and I want to spend 0.05 without reconnecting…

Feels odd that both machines show the same p2sh address, yet only one lists it in the command output. Maybe the wallets are just out of sync, or the transaction funding that address is unconfirmed or not fully…

Glad you found a solution! By the way, there's a command called "listreceivedbyaddress 0 true" you can use in the console. It should show all addresses that ever received funds. The 0 shows it includes unconfirmed, and…

I'm still lost here... Are you seeing addresses starting with 1, 3, and bc1 on both machines? Those starting with 1 are legacy, 3 for p2sh, and bc1 for newer segwit. Did you play around with multisig or use the console…

Something strange is happening with my wallets. I'm digging through old USB drives and loaded a wallet.dat file into Bitcoin Core on two different computers. Both are running the same version, but the addresses look…
