Thank you!

I could import the wallet.dat and sign a message without needing to download the whole blockchain.

Regards.

Hello all.

I am trying to withdraw around 8 mBTC I had in former Slush Pool (now Braiins Pool), mined around 2012-2013. I have a wallet registered on the site and the support team asks me to sign a message with the wallet signature (I guess to avoid hackers/scammers, since I have not mined for years).

I have found a wallet.dat file I backed up long time ago, thanks to an Evernote note. I remember only using bitcoin core wallet software and I am pretty sure I know the password in case it is encrypted.

But I have downloaded bitcoin core and it is downloading the whole blockchain (around +600GB), even with the pruning option, it will take days to finish.

Is there any other way to import the wallet.dat with the wallet address I have registered on braiins pool and sign a message with it? Maybe I can import the wallet.dat to Electrum? Do I need the seed (I guess I only have the password in case it is encrypted).

Thanks in advance and sorry for the newbieness in the crypto world.

Hello all.

I have around 8 mBTC mined from some years ago (AMD HD5870) in slushpool, and I would like to send them to my BTC wallet (bitcoin core 0.15.1) and I do not know how to proceed.

I guess I wil have to play around with the payment threshold.

I know that for transactions under 10 mBTC there is an additional fee of 0.1 mBTC, apart from the 2% but I do not care as I do not own any ASIC to continue mining up to 10 mBTC, I just want to send the BTC to my wallet.

If I set the threshold, say, to exactly the amount of mBTC I have (7.94723 mBTC), will I get paid, deductions apart, in the following days? Or should I have to ask for a manual payment or similar?

Thanks in advance.
