The thing is I never sent 600, I check the amount u send 3 times in my browser on exchanges so I don't mess up the zeros, so im100% sure I never sent them or anyone hundreads of dollars. Or the 1300.
The address of plissio is the same, the one with 60 or 70 USD.

Also my wallet is encrypted, so when the window pops up I am 100% sure I only send 1 transaction, not 2 at the same time to 2 different addresses, I don't even know how to do that

Thus us the plissio address bc1qw40vpr90585k0t4v46jj097p8e0mfayux26clt

I never sent anything else to anyone or anything this year.
I also uninstall the Bt core wallet and I don't use other wallets

Maybe the btcore wallet was compromised ?

I know i t night seem a small amount but it's 5 salaries I invested through time and put aside...so for me it's a tragedy
Ty for your help, also if anyone can help me to exactly find the issue and so I can understand , would gladly pay for their time if I can. I literally can't sleep and I think of this

I know how hard it can be and in my sight the amount you lost is not small we all have our priorities and I respect yours don't panic for now even if you are baffling you are doing great by not making any further transaction so the amount left can be saved. Don't share your seed phrase with anyone in the problem I know you are a techy guy and 45 I read the whole thread to see what's the update on your case.

So till now I understood that you made these transactions from core wallet but when you saw the remaining amount is lesser so you imported your wallet to electrum and you took screen shots and posted here. But the screen shots are saying there are two outputs for each transaction. The ones I mentioned are three transaction in which you lost 1800$ (600$ each) but there is another transaction made on (2024-07-15) and it did not deducted 600$ extra. Why?

I don't think your wallet was compromised, because if it were, then you wouldn't be seeing any money in your wallet. Here comes the change address concept. Which is one of the privacy feature of Bitcoin Core. It is a newly generated wallet address within your wallet.

What it does is, whenever you want privacy on your transaction, it sends the leftover funds to a new wallet address (change address). which makes the ownership finding difficult as now we can't know the wallet receives the 600 is yours or not. Which I mentioned in my last post, here they are again:

I know there are more than 3 tx. These wallets must be in your bitcoincore wallet you just have to find them. Don't lose the recovery key as this case shows he can't access his change address back as he lost private key I am not a bitcoincore wallet user so to test the theory, I need to have it but it will take time. You are a techy person you can find them easily. If not then post again. I did not find any video tutorial to it. Well, the addresses received the funds are totally new so there are 100% chances that they are changes addresses. Don't delete the wallet or dat files, because when you used the private key to recover the wallet those keys don't bring back those change addresses back because they are random (AFAIK).

Thank you,
What you say makes me think hard,
So I switched hard disks to nvme2 since they are much faster, I copied everything from old HDD to new, thinking all wallet.dat are basically my seed, I deleted everything that contained wallet.dar with chain state from older Bitcoin core clients that weren't even installed, to speed up the process.

Now, this is the part I don't understand and never taught off, the change addresses , so basically you have to use your latest wallet.dat , or the one you used last time or part of your funds will be gone basically since Bt core generated random addresses from your original seed that contain these unique change addresses and your original address is sum of all your change addresses ?

So I made 4 transactions this year, last time I wasn't even paying attention to what btcore I use since I didn't delete it I guess, and everything showed fine since all the change addresses were contained in that recent wallet.dat?

And now that I installed newest btcore client and imported the deer I found from 2022 they don't contain my change addresses so I'm shown the Ballance without them ?

So I need to use the latest seed to have those change addresses included as mine ..

My key question is, is this process broadcaster to the chain so my main address is the owner and the value of my wallet is the one including the change ?

Because the first thing I did was to run to a Blockchain explorer and enter my BTC adresa to see if the low value of my wallet is real, and it showed the low value not the good one which is around 0.1. I know this value because I strived always to have 10% of 1 magical Btc and again I never cashed out of crypto, through all the freaking crashes and ppl laughing at me, and now this. I'm heartbroken I feel like I'm the stupidest person on earth.
