Re: Are you going to run Core 30?

nope

ill run 29.x and my old wallet.dat in a separate instance, it will have its own current blockchain..

at some point in time i imagine ill be forced actually use 30.x so it will get installed and live on a difference system altogether.


so the29.x instance which i will continue to use a long as it can connect to the blockchain and can conduct transactions and signing..  and a 30.x version on a difference system. so i can sneer at the features i wont use in it. or make something other useless gestures in its direction

Ramen will kill you,
noodle researchers found out
what horror is next?


..
For certain groups, the risks piled up. Those under 70 who ate ramen three or more times a week had more than double the risk of dying compared with once-or-twice-a-week eaters. Frequent ramen lovers, who also drank alcohol regularly, saw their risk rise even higher, to 2.7 times.

Oh no for fucks sake,
what should we nourish on then
to survive the dips.

Will there be anyone on earth that can read this whole thread..starting from the first page….lol, it is almost 34926 pages with each page containing not less than 20 post…calculating this that is almost …698,520 posts, if he could read 100 posts per day it will take him 6985 days or 19 years  to complete and by then the thread might have reach 200,000 pages or even more  Grin

Well thinking about that, will there be someone who will embrace this journey and start reading from the first page of this thread and then we see the years it take him to read the thread completely or maybe to read just the first 1000 pages of this thread, it will be very interesting to see someone doing that…lol… or what do you think..?

well you had better start now then

Re: You need to run a Bitcoin node

on 14/09/2025, 16:45:29 UTC
the only node i trust is my own node.  so, i run a node.

i dont mine against it i just use it to verify what i do, and verify what i see elsewhere.. ie mempool or some other explore.

basically i run my node in "trust but verify" mode all the time lol

Re: Bitcoin Core encryption questions

You want to do the same encryption method as Krux, right? It exports encrypted backups as a QR Code with your password. But only in mnemonic format.

Anyway, if you want to do this with a native Bitcoin Core wallet, you'll have to do it manually through third-party applications.

Or, since it's cold storage for 10+ years, that I won't spend unless there is a good reason to do so, I could just stick with BIP38 which does that already. The problem is that I will need to have single addresses that aren't anyhow connected and that they'll be legacy addresses which means higher fees when I spend.

Now to my original question, does everyone who uses Core, still keep their wallet.dat in digital media?

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

i have never actually paid attention to the gender field till this thread.. mine is blank so i dont particularly care.

but..  if Attack Helicopter is added i will gladly use it and want the gender field to remain in that case.

Re: Wallet file format by year

Im also interested in knowing what version my wallet is. I reckon it must have been around 2013, but im not sure what actual current wallet.dat stuff is on the file right now. Is it possible to find out?

when core is running look at the bottom right of the UI, there is an HD icon, mine is lined out, so Non-HD. if its lit (or not lined out) its HD

afaik anyway

I am no more interested in small ups and down of Bitcoin nor I check Bitcoin price on daily basis. That's mainly because I am now very sure that it will hit 200k some day and I am waiting for that day. I have made few mistakes in the past but not anymore I will repeat that. 

i havent check prices daily for many many years now (except for occasional rips) and chartbuddy is on ignore (but its great to unhide it for the price context when needed).

youve seen how btc rolls. and you have a sense of balance of sell vs hodl and what priorities (shelter, power) are necessary for your familys health and well being.

looks like youre getting comfortable fitting right in to the btc life

BUT im pissed that legacy wallets wont be supported from 30 on?? wtf
They aren't supported, but the migration tool is built into the software and will seamlessly (in the vast majority of cases) migrate your legacy wallet into a descriptor wallet.

makes old man shakes fist at sky motions


*hrmpth*

perhaps ill try it out now.

more seriously one aspect of bitcoin that has cemented it in my mind as the most bullet proof way to store value there is. im very cautious about change. note im a couple major versions behind.. heh i still use legacy addys

i created my wallet in 2011 and i still use it today. it is still  in Non-HD format. turning an older wallet into a HD wallet is a manual process.

So how do you manage your wallet, do you have a 2 laptop setup with a watch-only wallet? Also, what will you do once Core 30 deprecates your wallet? Im using Knots 28 so I don't know what they will do in this regard.

on core 27.1 here

i just have a bog standard wallet created in mid 2011 and i just did in place upgrades from there.

when the original HD format was introduced i elected to keep my old wallet instead of creating a new as i had mining payout addys in it and exchange whitelisted addys etc in it and, as im lazy af,  i just kept the old format and made sure i always backed up wallet.dat to make sure any new keys generated would my in my backup set.

now with core supporting multiple wallets i can make a new HD format and use it BUT im pissed that legacy wallets wont be supported...

satoshi said never lose control of your private keys... so i guess  ill run a final pre 30 version and run it in parallel on a dedicated machine.

Have you ever thought about the fact that someone who visits the forum so rarely remembers some people's nicknames quite well? For someone who is far from the forum and writes posts only in some places, you have quite extensive knowledge about some people. This is especially true for someone who recently changed their nickname. It is difficult to call you ignorant of the affairs on the forum.

visits or posts? (sorry if i missed it somewhere)

i go weeks without posting yet i read almost every day and thus know names etc. so nothing there.

Another very important piece of information I would like to know is: Has Bitcoin Core software ever automatically upgraded the wallet.dat files as you updated the versions, or if you started with a 2013 wallet for example, the file stays in non-HD format? Im asking because core wants to deprecated older wallet files in (I think) the next 30 version. As of now im using Knots and im interested to know what they will do there. I think updating should be prompted to the user and optional.

i created my wallet in 2011 and i still use it today. it is still  in Non-HD format. turning an older wallet into a HD wallet is a manual process.
