You may be looking at the fiat-equivalent amount since Bitcoin's price today is 2-3x its price 3 years ago (depending on the month). Or are you talking about the balance in BTC?

Are you using the portable version? If so and if you're using a flash drive (USB stick), it's permanently deleted because deleted files from flash drives wont be saved to recycle bin. In that case, do not use the flash drive at the moment since you may be able to restore it using various file restoration tools.

Why the settings button (3 dots) is absent in the wallet and whether there is a way to recover it. -snip-
You've switched to Electrum but this is never mentioned here, so it's worth mentioning: The 3-dots menu will not show if the Android device itself has a physical menu button. In that case, pressing the physical menu button will trigger the same menu as the 3-dots menu. If it's not showing despite having no physical menu button, then it's either an error in the app's part, android phone's firmware or combination of both.

-snip- One question regarding the pathing, should it be e:\bitcoin or e:\bitcoin\blocks?
Pathing guide says it's " e:\bitcoin\blocks" but " e:\bitcoin" works fine at my end. Regarding the logs: If you've set satoshi directory through the UI, " Satoshi BTC directory" will register in the logs as the default but it will launch armorydb with the set path anyways. You can see it in the line - " ArmoryQt.py:1891 - Setting satoshi datadir = E:\bitcoin" and below it showing that it's included as a start parameter of armorydb. If you set it using the config file, the correct " Satoshi BTC directory" should be in the log. Either one should work ( I haven't tried if both are set though). Now, I think you just need to restart your PC in every attempt since most of the time, armorydb will stay running in the background after closing armoryqt keeping the old settings with it. Alternatively, open " task manager", find armorydb and if it's still there, end its process.

-snip- I tried to dump my BTC private key but I can't since it's a descriptor wallet and the following commands don't work: walletpassphrase "your walletpassphrase here" 600 & dumpprivkey [your Bitcoin address here]
What error you get when those commands "don't work"? " Descriptor" wallets do not support those commands. Instead, it only allows the export of " parent descriptors" which contains either the master public or master private key. @ FullMetalCryptomist You can do this workaround if exporting the prvKeys is the only option you have left: /index.php?topic=5351210.msg60007045#msg60007045For now, use rescanblockchain <start_height> <stop_height> to scan for the latest transactions. Since your blockchain is pruned, make sure to set the correct start_height since it can't scan the pruned blocks. To get the unpruned block height, enter getblockchaininfo and look for " pruneheight" from the result, use it ( or higher) as the start_height and leave the stop_height empty. example workflow: -Let's assume that pruneheight is 734668 -It will take a while to scan depending on how many blocks you have.

I think there is another reason, because I have 3 purchase like that, and all the bitcoin transfer on bc1 adress are not spend since begining of may, i can see it when I create a read wallet with this adress bc1 :
Don't overthink it. It's normal for hackers to keep the funds untouched until they gained enough balance. Since the transfers aren't that large, it will be wasteful to spend those right away.

I got a new computer. I'm new to GPG Verification. I can't remember how I managed to do the GPG verification the 1st time and I can't get it done again on downloading the newer version. I've looked at all the tutorials and it just won't work the way it says its supposed to work. -snip-
Do you still have the old computer where you did the 1st time GPG verification? If so, you just have to download the file and signatures there and transfer the verified Electrum to the new PC. Since you already did it once in the old PC, it's already set-up to do the verification, you can skip to the last few steps of every tutorial out there ( to the actual verification). For example, if it's Windows, just download the Electrum and its 'signatures' file, then double-click the signatures ('.asc' file). If Linux, then you'll only need one command to verify the file.

Take note that bitcoin-wallet's salvage command above will default to the 'wallets' folder of the data directory if the wallet's absolute path isn't provided. So if it's in any other folder, provide the full path to the wallet.dat.
e.g.: -wallet="E:\AppData\bitcoin\test_wallet.dat"

-snip- both are same version 4.2.0
Then it should work without any issue. The video you linked is too old but the steps should be similar. Basically, you need to create the transaction in the watching only wallet, then export it using " Export->Export to file". Then transfer the .psbt file to the offline PC; Open cold-storage Electrum and use " Tools->Load transaction from file" then browse to the .psbt file's directory. Load it, click " Sign" ( type your password), then export the signed transaction to the online PC ( same menus as the first step). load the signed transaction to the watching only Electrum ( same menus as the second step) Review the transation's details and click " Broadcast" to send it.
If you're thinking of " updating" the balance of the offline Electrum, then it's unnecessary since bitcoins aren't stored in Bitcoin wallets. It's locked in the blockchain which is in every full node of the Bitcoin network, wallets do not receive bitcoins but only " watch" coins that they can spend. Your offline Electrum has the necessary key to spend it while your watching-only wallet watches for the balance.

I tried Qr code\text load transaction in my offline wallet but nothing happens.
Both offline and online Electrum should at least be version 4.0.1 or higher. If either one is an older version, the exported transactions wont be compatible. To upgrade: Simply download the binaries from electrum.org, verify its signature ( steps). Then transfer it to the cold-storage machine via flash drive.

I checked the email confirmation she received and I confirm that it returns an error status. She even asked the wallet address where she'll received the payment about the transaction if she could anticipate any transaction, and here is what the wallet address provider has said.
Screenshot: -snip-
Coins.ph can't do anything about the missing transaction since it never existed in the first place. Her deposit address haven't received any transactions on May12: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/3EvaziswFCRAcXAqt8VBQEgim3sjH6oAyFOn a side note, you might want to censor parts of the screenshot or remove it entirely because her Full name and mobile number are in full display. ( and her Nationality for those who can understand the set language of Gmail) Could be an error in freebitco.in's part.

Question: how do I check the integrity of the Armory 0.96.5 download on my computer?
I can't seem to get a result with Kleopatra's server lookup either. In the latest version of the website ( btcarmory.com/docs/verify), the link to the signing key seems dead, to make it work, just add &op=index at the end of the link's url. Then import goatpig's signing key from the result: 8c521176 4922589aThen do the rest of the tutorial.

Thank you for taking the time to test that! I do have "debug=addrman" enabled. The output is not interfering with anything, but it does seem quite spammy so I was wondering if maybe it was a bug. I've searched for related Pull Requests after v22.0 and found this: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22839/filesApparently, it's added as an improvement to " Address Manager" logging.

(2) If that doesn’t work, do a reindex. Go to the Core application program in Downloads: bitcoin-22.0-win64-setup. Right click properties. Next to the Bitcoin logo you will find a writable field. Type in this flag:
. . . setup –reindex
and click Apply. I have seen instances where the flag is designated with one hypen; others with a double hypen. I think that the double hyphen is correct. -snip-
You should edit this since " ...setup" is pertaining to the installer and not the executable. Should be: "....\bitcoin-qt.exe" -reindexMust be outside the quotation marks, either --reindex or -reindex will work on shortcuts. Also, " writable field" should be specified to " Target:" under 'Shortcut' tab since there are more than one writable fields there.

-snip- I am not using it to store funds. I only came across it when I was reading and was curious to know where the transaction fee goes to and it was written there as optional. What if one doesn’t include any transaction fee since it is optional, but thanks to @Hyphen(-), I know why it is written as optional now.
It is only optional in the image because it's a very old screenshot when Bitcoin transactions with 0 transaction fee were standard. More info: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Miner_fees#Priority_transactionsBut now, although still valid, it's " non-standard" so mostly all nodes wont relay a tx without fee and miners will most likely reject it.
Can you help with this as well or anyone: The target is just a number stored in the each block header and as you know it, a miner who'll generate a hash of their candidate block's block header that's lower than the target will be able to include their block to the blockchain. Target adjusts in every 2016 blocks which is roughly 2 weeks, the adjustment is based from how fast or slow the previous 2016 blocks were mined. More info: learnmeabitcoin.com - How is the target calculated?(you can use the search bar of the link above if you want to know more about Bitcoin)

-snip- Though what I have noticed is that if i load the wallet using bitcoin-cli -testnet loadwallet testingwallet. Then i can run RPC commands but only get info from that wallet!
In bitcoin-cli, you'll have to load all wallets that you want to work with, then specify which wallet to use with each wallet command with -rpcwallet=e.g.: bitcoin-cli -testnet -rpcwallet=testingwallet getwalletinfo bitcoin-cli -testnet -rpcwallet=otherwallet getwalletinfo I don't know how to apply that to " python-bitcoinrpc" library though.

I'm fine with that, but they only allow 12 words.
You can create 24-words Electrum seed via the console: - Enable and open console: "View->Show Console" (needs to open/create a wallet to use)
- Type: make_seed(256) for Native SegWit or make_seed(256,"standard") for Standard
- Copy the result and use it to create a new wallet: "File->New/Restore->Standard wallet->I already have a seed"
But take note that Electrum's seed isn't BIP39 compatible. It will only work in Electrum and some compatible wallets and tools.

I have two regtest nodes, one connected to the other through the "addnode" RPC command. Both nodes are using Tor. -snip- unless I add "connect=0" to the config.
I didn't have this experience with Core version 22.0. Is this normal behavior for the node, or is this a bug?
Have you enabled debugging? I have tested it and it shows in v23.0 with either -debug or -debug=addrman active but it's not showing in v22.0. So it might be something new that's added in the latest version. Also, by adding " connect=0", you have disabled " automatic connections" so it might have something to do with it.
