Hello all,

While I await the Ledger Nano, thinking ahead...

My plan is to transfer BTC from my offline Bitcoin Core to a Ledger wallet, using the method outlined by nc50lc above involving a new online Bitcoin Core, to broadcast my offline transactions.

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8gb ram which could do this, using a fresh Ubuntu install. Can I copy the blockchain files (not wallet!) from my offline installation of Bitcoin core to save me some time? That way it would only have a few days worth of blockhain to update.

Would I be wise to run this over Tor or is that overcomplicating it?

Is there any point in doing an upgradewallet with my original wallet in the offline Bitcoin Core?

Finally, once Ledger set up, is there any risk/implications in transferring a test amount (like 1 to 10 mBTC) so I can get the hang of things?

Thanks again all.
