I’ve got a couple of Dell Optiplex machines running. One’s for Umbrel, the other’s a Wireguard server. They’ve got slots for both NVMe and SATA drives. Internal options are definitely the way to go.

I've heard about Peach, but it seems limited to Euros. Bisq is what I use most for P2P trades, lots of options in my area.

I thought I was clear enough. When I post with my alt, I’m on my phone and it’s a pain to type. No reason to keep the seed on two devices. Off-line machine is just a temporary cold wallet until you switch it to a…

You forked Bitcoin but missed the part about connecting it to PayPal? That's a major oversight, lol.

Yep, I'm still in. Unless you enjoy wrestling with tricky Linux setups. Just to note, this guide is for the older version. The new UmbrelOS is a breeze to install but works best on a dedicated machine, ideally with a…

Totally agree, LTS is the way to go. Just fixed my earlier comment to point to the right link for LTS (22.04). Appreciate the heads up! Debian definitely feels more stable, less bloat compared to Ubuntu.

Saw some talk about the benefits of running your own node with HD wallets. So I thought a super simple guide would help those who aren’t very tech-savvy with Linux. I picked Umbrel for this guide because it’s pretty…

I figured that might be the issue. If you need to allow Docker access, open ports 8332 and 50001 for the Docker container IP. If you’re using ufw, check its manual for instructions.

Good sign! Mempool might take a while to load, and the DB needs time to populate. If you don’t see errors, just be patient.

Let’s pause on Docker for a sec. Using Debian 12, I’d suggest checking your wired IP address for the settings. Make sure to set both CORE_RPC_HOST and ELECTRUM_HOST to that IP.

Still having issues. You’ve redacted your IPs in your yml, but double-check they’re correct. Make sure your CORE_RPC_HOST and ELECTRUM_HOST are set to the local IP given by your router.

Check out the mempool.space GitHub. There’s a video that helped me get started with Docker. Can't remember the exact link but it's there. Honestly, I’ve set up a bunch of services on Linux, but this one has been the…

If the last block's fine, it should resume. If not, deleting the latest block and chainstate files might fix it. You can find them in these locations: /home/<USER>/.bitcoin/blocks/ /home/<USER>/.bitcoin/chainstate/.

Yeah, it's a Bitcoin Core wallet. No seed phrase, just old school.

Man, I can't really help with Ripple wallets. I only dabbled in XMR. But hey, at least you got your Bitcoin wallet sorted, right? Ripple was a bad investment back in the day for me too. Just use Trezor or something, if…

Sounds like it could be an encrypted Electrum wallet. Electrum usually doesn’t have extensions for its wallet files. The string you mentioned gives me a vibe that it’s Electrum-related. Try loading it in Electrum, but…

I think this forum is the best spot. Lots of knowledgeable folks here. StackExchange can be good, but responses can take forever. I use it for research, but if you need quick help, it might not be the best. And Reddit?…

Yep, you can use the same computer. While online, set up Electrum to create a watch-only wallet using your public key. Once it syncs, you'll see your coins and can create a partially signed bitcoin transaction (.psbt).…

You don’t need a new computer. Just make sure the one you use is clean from malware. Don't connect to the internet while handling private keys. If you're unsure about malware risks, boot from a live USB. Tails OS is…

That sounds kinda weird. You can't really extract a BIP39 seed from Bitcoin Core. If it was a BIP39 wallet, you could've used Electrum to get the private key from a specific address, then import it back to Core. Or use…
