Right, they might have just swiped the wallet.dat from somewhere. The address with a balance looks like: 1GDcVTrZNhV... It’s all adding up.

Maybe the Bitcoin block data (like 1013 GB) has what you need. You can prune Bitcoin Core to 200 GB and keep it offline once you reach the date range you want.

Could be why it’s struggling to mine blocks. If it doesn’t recognize the easy difficulty, then it might not find anything. Assuming difficulty=1 doesn’t mean instant blocks.

Who came up with this 20-minute reset anyway? What’s with the difference in timings on Testnet blocks?

Shut it down after a week, restarted it this morning. Let's see if anything changes this time.

After 4 days at 6.33Mh/s, I still haven’t found a block... might be too slow, but I’ll keep the Bitcoin Core Testnet running.

Glad the guide helped! I'm currently mining on Testnet with just my CPU on a server. Fingers crossed for that first block.

Man, I totally get you. I can't even access my Lightning Terminal right now on either of my nodes. And I'm also on Umbrel, just different versions. So frustrating. You're not alone in this.

Nice job! Next time, having a simple offline tool for converting WIF would save time. Avoid relying on online tools when you can do it offline, especially with sensitive stuff like this.

Yeah, totally! Just be cautious when doing offline signing with Electrum. If it’s a small amount, you could risk it, but if there’s a lot at stake, take it slow.

Just save that webpage on a USB stick and use it in Tails. No internet needed.

Yeah, you shouldn’t connect Tails to the internet at all if you’re trying to keep it secure.

That actually worked for me! Here’s a link that I used: tmp.loyce.club/tails-amd64-6.9.img. Just make sure you verify it with the official site!

Yeah, I had the same problem. Just keep trying, it should work eventually.

Dude, your story's a bit long. Just get to the point. First things first: quit messing with private keys online. Grab another computer, get Tails OS on a USB drive. Boot from it, run Electrum, but keep it offline.…

If you build that "disk", it’ll create huge forces with tiny movements. That’s not easy to work with; conventional engines run at high RPM for a reason. Who needs 1 rotation a day? Tidal energy is legit, it comes from…

If you can’t recover your seed in a secure spot, your backup is flawed. Metal plates don’t connect to the internet, but I could wipe one in seconds with a grinder. Phones? Much pricier to destroy.

You really shouldn't scan private data on mobile devices. They're harder to keep secure than a PC. QR codes seem risky for private info.

Seriously doubt it! If your camera can't read the code, making it smaller won't fix that. Sounds like a solution in search of a problem. Custom formats risk users forgetting how to recover their coins.

My go-to for price/performance is Racknerd. They have better deals on Lowendtalk than on their site. Ramnode is solid too but at a higher price. Both accept Bitcoin.
