Thanks for your help . Actually this is very strange. I tried that command in both machines . Listreceivedbyaddress 0 true then it shows Both machines came up with the same address starting with 1 the legacy address…

Thanks. Yes I didnt explain well. No, I've not tried multi sig. I think the problem was that the wallet on machine 1 with a more recent blockchain could see that several addresses had been used to receive coins. So it…

Thanks for replying. Okay a few updates and details. I think I perhaps found out what was happening. Machine 1. Not internet connected but blockchain updated in the last few weeks. Running bitcoin v21 Machine 2. Not…

I’m facing a strange issue that I can’t figure out. I’ve got an old wallet.dat file and I'm digging through all my old USB drives. I opened it in a bitcoin core wallet on two different computers, both running the same…

You are correct I shouldn't have really tackled with bitcoin core. Although I wanted to remove my bitcoin from an exchange and thought this was the most trustworthy one. Yes, one of the things I wasnt sure about was if…

I totally agree that mitigating all risk should be the aim. Why I tried moving the entire appdata/bitcoin folder was because I didnt know which files contained inside there were altered when you clicked send and entered…

Thank you very much for the guide with tails and all of the links. I'm going to go for the technique you describe. I'm just learning how to verify pgp signatures at this stage. The links you provided are very helpful. I…

Thanks for your help. Yes. Laptop 1 was once used to receive my bitcoin a couple of years ago. But since then has stayed offline. Has v21 Laptop 2 is connected to the internet but only for the purpose now of…

Hey everyone. I need some advice here. I’ve got this old wallet.dat file from bitcoin core version 21 on a laptop that’s only ever been used to receive bitcoin and hasn’t been online for a while. It has just under 0.1…
