What do you think? Should I shut down Bitcoin Core, or should I let it finish?
How exactly did you "
threw in" your wallet.dat file to Bitcoin Core v25.0? Please describe the steps that you did.
Depending on how you did it and its timing, if it rescanned or not, the blocks with the transactions may have been skipped.
(
BTW, having no unverified transaction history at all isn't promising)
Letting it finish is still recommended since you can rescan later, that's only if you didn't enabled "
prune block storage" setting
which would prevent you from scanning those old blocks without redownloading the entire blockchain.
If you want to finish it, I'd recommend to disable the setting if it's enabled and start over.
Otherwise, if you don't have the disk space, make sure that the wallet is properly loaded (
use "Restore Wallet") before starting over initial block download again.
On a side note, the latest release version is v26.0 as you can see above the forum menu, but it didn't affected the result.
There's no "
official Bitcoin website" BTW.
Thank you much for your answer and information.
I was surprised too. I read everywhere that Bitcoin Core 25 can't read the old wallet.dat files, but for me it works. I just clicked on file > open a wallet :
I just close Bitcoin Core and my Pc and I reopened them. I wanted to repeat the process but Bitcoin Core continues where it stopped earlier. It remains 4 years and 21 weeks :
The "prune block storage" setting is enabled from the beginning (up to 2Go). Should I disable it now during the scan process? Or should I wait the end and then I do a new scan the the setting disabled?
