Not exactly true but can be partially counterfeited. Removal of holograms from the coins does put a honey comb mark on the coin which just proves that the coin has been redeemed before. Counterfeiting can be done in some inexpensive cheaper coins but redeeming without a honey comb mark on some premium products are certainly impossible.
And finally, these are collectibles and we shouldn't compare them to Physical Bitcoins as like.
OP's non-practical, novel and non-original idea is about linking an asset/currency to a physical token/coin, not like those so called " physical bitcoins" like Casascius. Most of those are just collectibles with pre-loaded balance, not representing an actual bitcoin because Bitcoin is UTXO-based, it's more of a fancy paper wallet.

"script_asm" : "001470eb5212b558chj10b31f0849ef88ecf17097ac1", "script_hex" : "16001470eb5212b558chj10b31f0849ef88ecf17097ac1",
May I ask? There's no " 42 character" string in that scriptSig; Did you just added the invalid characters " hj" in the middle of the 'script_hex' and 'script_asm' that made them 44 and 46 characters? If you remove 'h' and 'j', the pubkeyHash160 will be 19bytes that's impossible to happen. Where did you get those strings? Can you share the actual transaction or P2SH address like pooya suggested in post#2?

It's called " fiat", " written contract" for tokens Joking aside, it will be a breakthrough if someone somehow find a way to link digital to physical coin/token. But I can't find a reliable way to produce physical counterpart of the digital units without relying on security features that are already present in other products like authenticity strikers/marks which obviously, can be easily counterfeited. Or I'm missing something big from your idea. (Turn each physical coin into a hardware wallet?)

nc50lc what is this thing your saying including a transaction on the wallet.dat file without the real pk of the info that address, is this what your sayin'
Yes. I'm just experimenting the core of the console that's all
Hmm.. I thought this is somehow a " quest" on finding the balance of your locked wallet.dat. If that's the case, then just read the info about Bitcoin core RPC commands from these sources:

I had the keep the spaces afterall. and not add p2pkh:
Whoa, it shouldn't have any spaces and will work by just pasting the private key WIF ( uncompressed: 51-characters that starts with '5'), Electrum will derive the p2pkh address by default. But it worked at the end so, congrats.

Click " Wallet Properties" then, " Backup This Wallet". Check " Export Key Lists", then the button with the same name below, type your password and a window will open. Check " Include Unused (Address Pool)", check " Omit spaces in key data" ( below) and find your address from the list and copy its private key WIF ( PrivBase58). Download Electrum from the official site: electrum.orgUse, " Import Bitcoin addresses or private keys" when creating a new wallet, and paste your private key there.

Can some could give me a link to where I can extract this hash I make on the bitcoin-qt running on console listunspent and I make a transaction and this hash presented to me by qt can I COPY PASTE it on some website or somesort I've running an experimental any help will be much loved,
Based from your previous topics, posts and this thread; you must be talking about a non-broadcast transaction's hash... If you only got the hash and the raw transaction wasn't saved, then it's useless because you can't reverse a hash. You need the " Signed RAW Transaction" in HEX to paste in on a website ( which I guess, to broadcast it). By the way, there are ways to include a non-existing transaction to a wallet.dat file that's being used for scam purposes. Did you bought/received that wallet file from someone?

On Windows 10, there is only 1 process shown running in Task Manager.
At my end, it's showing 1 in the active process ( Apps) and 1 in the Background processes ( lower portion of task manager). The memory consumption is just about right, the background process has lower memory consumption than the active one. I'm also using Windows 10. W7 doesn't have this kind of grouping, IIRC.

I guess i missunderstand the #4 post cause you said anything like restore the old wallet but i would like to know if the same process can be use for other BTC wallet (electrum).
That's off-topic but yes, you can. But Electrum's wallet file doesn't have to be renamed to be loaded by default, you just have to paste it to the data directory: %appdata%/electrum/wallets then open it using 'file->open' menu even if Electrum is running.

If the amount is over 50 BTC you should consider selling OTC as you could get 20% premium for your "virgin" btc.
Dont sweep into one address as it will or could reveal your identity. -snip-
Some will pay a premium for fresh coins as someone above stated earlier.. -snip-
Too bad, he already did. ( https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/54aa0aa03fd0dc5f4a6e2c61fc6267e3ae82c36d122d36e0bd6cb1022a154a01) If the link from that article is true and it's really him, then those 20 coinbase transactions are just consolidated to 3CU4AYJH23ePNnKsycinP5TSogCNGsyqCc then sent to different addresses.

Must be because the amount you specified wasn't 'filled' yet. You just received 0.0045 BTC instead of 0.005
But as TryNinja said, you can ignore that because it's not actually required to receive Bitcoins, it's just for label and stuffs.

I got it open with bitcoin core. Not sure what that 17 word thing is for. Wallet was empty as excepted lol
You might want to check if it's a brainwallet. Just download brainwallet's source ( site, the Github link is in the footer) and run it offline. Paste your brainwallet and copy the results, check the address in a blockexplorer if it has any balance. If there is, you can now import the private key to any Bitcoin wallet that you want.
But wait, is core not fully synced yet?

Have a question about restoring old wallet. After gettng old wallet DAT file what is the next procedure cause I'm lost there and none of you guys said something about it.
Read post#4, you need to copy it to the data directory and rename the wallet file into " wallet.dat" ( Bitcoin Core have to be shutdown before proceeding). And Core should rescan when you launch it. The default directories written there are simplified, for Windows, %appdata% is in your hidden C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming folder; or just type %appdata% in the run menu ( Win+R), the open " bitcoin".

In addition, for " pyramids", you just need to count how many [quote] and [/quote] are there, there should be the same number of closing /quotes in every opening quote tag. Here's how to pair the opening and closing quote tags ( colors): [quote author=user1] [quote Author=user2] [quote Author=user3] User3's Reply [/quote] User2's Reply to User 3 [/quote] User1's Reply to User 2 [/quote] The first and the last tags are the pair, going to the inner tags. Long post should be shortened/cut though.

Maybe that's a " Brainwallet", did it ring a bell? It couldn't be a BIP39 seed if you're sure that it's from 2013 because it was just published on that year's last quarter ( but there's a chance). Did the words from that 12-word backup matched any of the words in this list: BIP39 Word-list?

The terms used in that email are utter bullshit, the scammer is trying too hard to sound "technical" by using widely used terms for crypto. Words that are weirdly combined and non-existent crypto terms: "Blockchain system", "turnover operation", "default HASH", etc. He used those common terms in a very outlandish way.
Speaking of scams, please check every user's profile that replied here by clicking on their names (left-side of posts, specially the latest ones). Make use of the forum's "trust" feature and I suggest you to do not trust the profiles of those who've got a bad reputation.
Take care.

There's nothing wrong with your transaction.
Currently, 1sat/B is almost at the 2mB+ range (within 1mb is the priority) and there's a good chance for it to be included to a block within this hour (if blocks aren't too delayed and more transaction wont flood in).
Past 4-8 hours's mempool size is worse.

are you sure those wallet files are readable because usually .dat files are used for when you store data as binary not plain text which means opening it with a text editor should technically show you random looking weird characters instead of a readable text.
Try to download v1.8.1 and open the " electrum.dat" or " any_name.dat" file that it created. Even provided with a password, it will just encrypt the seed but will leave everything " readable". I have both wallet.dat file (random gibberish when it's opened in notepad) and then a notepad file called Bitcoin that looks like a 12 word seed. Both dated 12/24/2013
Then it isn't Electrum's wallet file. Also, there's a chance that the 12-word seed isn't connected to that wallet file since Bitcoin Core didn't used seed phrase ever.

I don't know where it came from, but I do have a 12 word seed phrase with it.
Very old versions of Electrum have a '.dat' extension to its wallet files, and ofc a seed phrase. Specifically v1.8.1 from 2013. Have you tried to open a copy of the wallet file using a text editor? If it's Electrum, there should be readable data because the whole wallet file wasn't encrypted back then. If you can read " addr_history" and bunch of addresses, then it must be Electrum. Just restore your seed to the latest version from the official site: https://electrum.org/#download
