How my various wallet.dat files got mixed up I do not know.
My guess is you made a backup, then another backup and another backup. That creates 3 different wallets, partially with the same addresses. If you ever changed the password of the wallet, new addresses in that wallet were not in your old backup.

ALL in all very good, I was able to recover some old stuff. Big thank you to community.

In @mprep's reply, it was supposed to mean, and supposed to be understood, for the cases when you take an image from another website and post it here.
Not turning someone's text to another medium (here a picture).
I got that, but the user can argue he found that image somewhere online and copied it. If text on pictures can lead to plagiarism claims, memes can lead to bans too.

I understand that your internet provider (bandwidth or transfer limit if you have) could be a problem
That's why Wink
And privacy of course, I'm not hosting things at home.

I found a good offer for my other project, with 15 TB monthly bandwidth. It would be great if that same host offers storage servers in the future.
These used to be my little side projects, but I already have 2 (virtual) servers running for it now. Things tend to get out of hand quickly Tongue

Isn't it plagiarism?
I don't think so: images are excluded from plagiarism bans. So it's looks like loophole.
Thank you all for your answers, I think the discussion of this issue has been exhausted. / Below is the answer by mprep (Global Moderator).

That won't work without having a large VPS. I don't want to be seeding it from my own PC.

Hi, any news about finding a host?
Nope. Large storage space turns out to be either expensive or annoying. I found 2 affordable hosts, but the first one doesn't accept Bitcoin, the other asks for my ID.

Interesting law that Purple Paint Law. I'd expect laws like this to be relics from the 1800s, so it's surprising to read the latest implementation was just 10 years ago.
As a non-American hiker, I understand gates, wires and "no trespassing" signs. But until yesterday, I would not have guessed purple poles hundreds of meters apart mean "dare and we shoot"! Any other laws I need to know about if I ever visit Texas? Cheesy

I started Electrum and set up with private keys (did not set up a new wallet on Electrum. So I guess this WAS a sweep.)
Importing a private key is not considered sweeping.

Quote
And was able to send that balance off to my Ledger.
That's sweeping Smiley

Quote
Should I wait with doing the next bitcoin adddress until Electrum has confirmed the transactions, the send of the bitcoin out of the wallet before I close it and do the next?
It doesn't matter, but it doesn't hurt to wait either. After so many weeks, being thorough is good Smiley
I'd say confirm the balance in Ledger Live before you continue.

Quote
When I do the next address. Should I delete Electrum and reinstall Electrum each time (to avoid the same problem that I had with BitcoinCore).
No, you can just create a New wallet each time.

And yes, you may pair your Ledger with Electrum. Then use option Wallet->Private keys->Sweep, it will prepare transaction which empty given address (key exported) into address in wallet opened (paired with Ledger in your case).
Sweeping is actually a good way too, maybe even easier than mine Smiley

Warning: DO NOT ever enter your Ledger seed words into Electrum (or websites, email or cloud storage)! Only use those words on the hardware wallet itself.

It seems maybe trying something with the private keys might be a better option.
How do we suggest to go about it to restore with the private key.

I am familiar with the Exodus app on MacBook desktop, seems there is a way there to import private key there.

My end goal is to move all holdings of Bitcoin to my Ledger Nano S hardware wallet.
I don't know Exocus, I can only give you instructions or Electrum. It's safest to do it offline:
Online:
Install Electrum on your PC.
Import your address to create a watch-only wallet.
Preview the transaction, Copy the unsigned transaction. Put it on a USB stick.

Offline and running without hard drive storage:
Get a Linux LIVE DVD. Use Knoppix or Tails for instance, or any other distribution that comes with Electrum pre-installed.
Unplug your internet cable. Close the curtains. Reboot your computer and start up from that DVD. Don't enter any wireless connection password. Keep it offline.
Start Electrum. Import your private key.
Copy your unsigned transaction from the USB stick, load it into Electrum.
CHECK the transaction in Electrum. Check the fees, check the amount, check all destination addresses (character by character).
If all is okay, sign the transaction. Copy it back to your USB stick.
Turn off the computer. That wipes the Live LINUX from memory and all traces are gone.

Online:
Use your normal online Electrum to (check again and) broadcast the transaction.

Bonus:
After moving all your Bitcoin, and once the transaction confirmed, check if you own Forkcoins.
But since you have your private keys on an online computer already, you might as well just import it into Electrum. Note that there are many fake and compromised Electrum wallets out there, make sure to use the real site: https://electrum.org
It's as easy as this: New Wallet > Import Bitcoin addresses or private keys > make transaction to your Ledger. I'd say start with the smallest fund, send it all (click Max), and pay about $0.10 in transaction fees.

You should make sure you have your Ledger seed words safely stored first, and you should thoroughly check the address (character by character) on your Ledger screen before making the transaction.

Where should I begin?
Find which addresses hold coins, get some Fork dust on BCH/BSV/BCH-A to enforce replay protection, move your funds, shred the drive
BSV "Electrum" clone is weird, I prefer Coinomi. And I definitely don't trust the software.

If you didn't changed any setting including the first launch set-up, then your Bitcoin Core must be pruned
I didn't know this is the current default, but I can now indeed confirm it. That's a weird choice!

Quote
That may have caused the wallet to keep the old status and not properly scanned.
I would expect Bitcoin Core to notify the user the wallet is further behind than the pruned blocks.

@tothemoon10: if you have to redownload the entire blockchain without pruning, you may want to increase Bitcoin Core's dbcache first. Assuming 16 GB RAM, change dbcache (click Settings > Options > database cache) to 4096. This should speed up the syncing process.
9219  Economy / Reputation / Re: Bitcointalk Charity and its funds on: December 14, 2021, 10:11:17 AM
~as it involved smaller amounts the transparency was at a high level and the whole charity was run in a professional way. When someone donated 1 BTC and it was decided to transfer the funds to stablecoins things got a little out of hand with the obvious lack of activity of the members who ran the whole project.
This makes it even more look like "opportunity makes the thief". When there's more money involved, I'd expect more accurate accounting, not less.

What is not clear to me is whether it was something that in the end got out of hand because they received much more money than they expected.
In May and November last year 1BTC was donated. Those were worth $9k and $16k at the time. I can imagine it's suddenly a lot more work to distribute a lot of money than it was with $30 at a time when this thing started. I can also imagine it's also a lot easier staying honest with $30 than it is when someone hands you 3 annual salaries. That doesn't mean you're a thief, but in my opinion it does mean you have to work extra hard to make sure nobody gets any reason to doubt anything you did! By not doing that, all we can do is guess and speculate, and that's entirely due to your lack of transparency.

It used to say it in the title: $1 Is A Big Thing For Them. I've seen the pictures of shopping carts with groceries. However, 2BTC can buy many hundreds if not thousands of full shopping carts. Where are those pictures?
Until the first 1BTC was donated, the pictures of this charity looked really good, and look like all the money was well spend. But this was much less than 1BTC, probably even less than a tenth of that. Which means I'd expect at least ten times more items to be donated later on.
Then:
BIG NEWS EVERYONE!
I don't know if its an accident or what, but it seems someone has transferred 1BTC to our Charity.
This is a BIG SHOCK to me actually, I don't know what to do and what to say, but there's one thing I can assure to all of you, the money will go to different orphanages and other helpless people out there that seems having a hard living in this scenario.
Current Balance: 1.03331019 BTC
After this, there were still pictures posted, but none of it looks like it came even close to spending 1.6BTC. But I can only guess, as no amounts are specified.
The spreadsheet is not publicly accessible:

Also good to know: when cabalism13 announced to pull funds out of escrow, 0.55387486BTC worth 18,308.30USD was moved.

This didn't age well:
Will never ask for more, Donate on your own will.
I think the donators might give us another

NOW ACCEPTING
USDT/XRP/ETH/BNB
JUST SEND US A MESSAGE!
At this point even the donation addresses were no longer public.

If someone could give a brief TL;DR history of this apparent debacle, I'd be greatly appreciative.
It's partially on a local board, which makes it even harder to get the full picture.

Quote
I'm also wondering when exactly any of these members were going to give an accounting of the funds and their activities if yahoo62278 hadn't pushed them to.
My guess: never. Why else didn't anyone keep track of all transactions?
Although I must say this sounds promising from crwth:
I'm currently helping compile all the transactions and ask for their breakdown with the funds that were gotten for activities. I have mine and just need to input it into the final spreadsheet.
Then again, 1.5 years ago he wrote this already:
My personal target with this, if I were to receive the amount with the region, I could provide 300 - 500 pax. Of course, I would document everything and show you guys the step by step of this activity.



TO ALL WATCHERS AND COMMENTATORS: we're not talking about the 2 BTC here, but only .4 BTC
It wouldn't hurt to include the full 2.12264434BTC in the spreadsheet, so all numbers can be verified in the overview.
