I'm glad that you fixed it.
In addition to Thirdspace's answer: You can also trigger the rescan from the console, which is my preferred way because you don't have to restart your wallet.

thank you that was quite informative !...
But is there is a way to have a permanent receive address or change it WHEN I WANT TO ?...
What if i give my receive address to someone to send me BTC then it changes, will i get my BTC or it will be lost ?!?...
And is it impossible to restore access to my wallet if i loose the the wallet.dat file ?.. from what i learned about BTC the funds are stored in the BTC network not actually on the machine, so is there is a way to get it back or no ?...
thanks again,

thanks again,
Your wallet.dat holds all your addresses (and private keys). So, you can use every address as often as you like, but it is not recommended because this makes it easier to track you.
The question remains even if the corrupted file is nearly repaired would the wallet be able to load the wallet.dat
There are dedicated tools like pywallet to extract private keys from corrupted wallets.

I also think that it will be not possible to just use the header from another file. Afaik the contain themost important information of the file.
A while ago I researched about the recovery of image files and you can nearly restore the exact image when you repair the header file only.

Thank you CryptoPowerL.
Unfortunately many of them only support windows, or windows and mac. I would be interested in a multiplatform solution, like cryptomater provides it. The only disadvante with them is that they mount the drive as WebDAV and everyone on the network can access it with the url only.
AxCrypt does also only support windows and mac.

Don't touch your old hdd, start from a live os instead and mount the drive readonly. You don't want to overwrite any data.
I would use a linux distribution (ubuntu has s large community) and try to restore the file with "testdisk" again. You can install it with 'sudo apt install testdisk'. I had by far the best results with this program.

I started installing the node according to this guide: https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node
And while the synchronization is in progress, I found that the node will not work without the static IP address. As I understand it, my ISP does not allow me to open an incoming port. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
I ordered a static IP service and will continue installation in a couple of days, just at this point the synchronization of the network will end.

You don't need a static ip to run a full node.
Your ISP can't disallow incoming traffic. You just need to open the ports in your firewall and router. An alternative would be to publish your service via tor, then you don't need an incoming port.
Re: [ TUTORIAL ] Run BITCOIN Server on VPS - BitcoinCLI and BitcoinD
Many people will not be happy about the vim section ;-)
Nevertheless, good tutorial. I would not allow rpc for external ips, instead just connect via ssh and send your commands on the server. In addition it is recommended to allow incoming traffic (for rpc or ssh) only from your ip (if you have a static ip).

When your account is hacked, it's more probably that it is your fault (weak password or something like that) and the insurance will not cover your loss. Like many others already said, you are responsbile for your coins, so use your own wallets.
That's basically what I am searching. I want a beautiful analysis on a silver plate ;-)
And for free, you forgot to add 
Of course. I love the idea of FOSS. This is the only way to work in a productive way.
Like pooya87 said, you can't really analyse addresses and the flow over mulitple transactions with the explorer.
Well it seems I have wrongly assumed you haven't heard of explorers, my bad. Everybody starts analysis from there (blockchain data), you just won't get insider information about the ownership of these addresses on a silver platter that investigators have access to.That's basically what I am searching.

Web merchants routinely leak data about purchases. And that can make it straightforward to link individuals with their Bitcoin purchases, say cybersecurity researchers.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like that there is open source software available for this.
What do you exactly mean by that? If you want just want to see the transactions that you're sending and receiving then you could create a watch-only wallet in Electrum.
Let's take this article for example.

Just out of interest, I would like to take for example one of my purchases and see how much other purchases I can link.
Or the other way around, how did they manage to link individuals to their bitcoin purchases? They must have used some tools and I want to know which one they used and if they are available.
Re: Decentralized vs. Centralized Exchange what is better?
crypto-bridge and all bitshares forks - are not decentralized exchanges
Why do you think that? They adveretise themself as DEX.
Re: Decentralized vs. Centralized Exchange what is better?
decentralized lagging so much!
Depends which one do you use. Did you already try crypto-bridge? This works quite good without any lagging.
Re: Decentralized vs. Centralized Exchange what is better?
not only most DEX has low trade volumes, but also on some parts are more complicated than regular exchanges
This is the main issue. Necomers will never trade on bisq for example, because they simply can't send their security deposit without any btc.
I think people will move to decentralized exchanges in the future. Because the decentralized exchanges private key owned by the user, users can trade any amount without any KYC verifications etc.
I also prefer decentralized exchange, but I don't think the majority of people will switch. The centralized exchanges just have the convenient factor and not everyone want to be responsible for his own keys (to create backups, secure them, ...)
