yes
any time i use it i make sure to back up wallet.dat in case any new change addys or whatnot are generated.
its habit at this point. same wallet.dat since 2011, and still in Non-HD format.
Wow that's tricky! When I asked I was expecting to see people storing bitcoin in this way, but I thought most people have migrated to descriptor wallets so far.
So, how do you do it? Btw, is it cold-storage or are you also spending from this wallet? Because if you don't spend, then isn't it more rare that you actually use it and that you also get the chance to back it up?
Lastly, you had no issues since 2011? That's remarkable to say the least. So self-custody of
wallet.dat is doable, no matter what many other people say!
