Would you share the reason behind that? DaveF already mentioned the problem behind that. I dont want to share old wallets that are used for tax evasions.
Considering that specific block he mentioned, it's likely related to the BSV fork, or perhaps the BTCMobick airdrop. Nah, BSV was forked form BCH back in 2018 Block 556759 is from Jan 3rd 2019 https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/block/556759I know there are some countries that have different rules for some things that have been in your possession for more then 5 years for tax accounting. So I was thinking it was that. Here in the US we have short term gains which are under 1 year and long term gains which is over 1 year. But, as I said, I have heard that some countries have a 5 year (or longer) time to get a different rate. -Dave |

You need to put a lot more information in your post such as:
Off the top of my head:
1) How much are you paying?
2) Do you mean wallet.dat files or other types of files or just private keys
I'm sure there are more.
Due to the tax implications people are probably going to ask a lot.

not first time drama, all previous bounty payment not payed  where is swap123 payment? where is syntrum payment? Citizens finance payment payed only to 10/100% Today is Monday. Let see Irfan scammer will again make excuse and payment delay. people is waiting for two year Irfan bounty payment. Very big scammers . don't support him. take action. First of all please understand this, bounty managers are just here to assist the client in launching a bounty campaign, we are here to advertise a project, your work is to market it before doing your due diligence, and then we review your work and send the final spreadsheet to clients for distribution. This is the drill most of the time we do, we do write disclaimers sometimes that we are not holding any funds for distribution. Our work is managing the campaign. Hope you get the idea of our work, We have nothing to scam, Scam can be used for us, if we are cheating in the bounty campaign, like bringing in our people and giving them tokens that would be scamming with client and with the genuine hunters. About your other campaign who failed to distribute till now, First two project you talked about 1- 123swap - paused, until market condition gets better - Here you can check the telegram: https://t.me/my123swap_chat2. syntrum - Campaign paused in the mid - client didn't like the whole idea of bounty campaign. They will pay the hunters after the TGE, project is still ongoing, in Private sale phase. Check telegram: https://t.me/syntrum3. Citizen Finance - Again we were not holding funds for that project. Many people made good amount from this project.
Next time please do not join my campaign if you do not like my services. Hope i knew your real ID, so i can give you better answers. I would not worry about the OP. Look at their other posts. I would think that either 1) They got called out / banned for some reason 2) They don't understand how things work and don't want to learn 3) Have been removed from bounties for some other reason. 4)  Lets face it, according to the OP You are a scammer, Murat is a scammer, and because someone posted a report that said some accounts were linked without good proof then we are all against newbies. Not worth worrying about. -Dave |

Always make backups, but if everything fails you can always run an older Bitcoin Core version. A main goal of Bitcoin is to make it as backwards compatible as possible.
The only downfall with that is what might happen with VERY old wallets. You have to think in the possibility of DECADES. Even now getting older software to run at times requires VMs and other things. Some versions of the bitcoin client are difficult to find. And so on. Just something to think about. -Dave |

The best way someone once said about it is that time is an illusion. We process linear time, all the blockchain cares about is the block and when that node saw it NOT the time it saw it but WHEN.
WHEN is not a time, it's just the fact that it was the NEXT block it saw.
The time / date is was mined is not at all important to the blockchain so long as it falls in the time period allowed. BUT, and this is an important BUT it's really just a field of information. If the block is valid and it was the next one the nodes saw, then it's valid.

Looking at all the posts that the OP has made, I am going with they have been tagged and kicked out of several bounties and are now just looking to cause trouble for everyone they can. Nobody is taking what they say seriously and as nutildah said: Bounty hunters serve no important function here, they just take up time and space. The forum doesn't need them and I'd be happy if they all disappeared tomorrow. I just did a ~AI detected and moved on. If they ever post a valid and useful report I might remove it, but for now they are just rehashing old info. Edit: I have dealt with Murat in the past several times, never had an issue. -Dave |

The last I heard, that deal was still in limbo. But I have not been keeping up. It might have finalized since the last discussion but when they were talking about it in financial discussions, nothing to do with BTC - crypto just the finance world, a few months after that press release nothing had happened yet. Now, big business moves slowly and both are public companies so that could be it. Since unlike DaveF taking over NotFuzzyWarm's mining company there are a lot of things that have to be done so the shareholders and regulators want their say also. Either way it's been so long (in mining time and hardware generation time) unless Jack Dorsey has something up that can help they are going to be way behind the competition. -Dave |

Looks interesting. As always if I ever have some of that thing called free time I might play around with it.
Seems to follow a bit with the nodes in a box theory of auto installing all the things without a lot of user intervention.
The more setups like this the better since it makes more people likely to run a node.
With that being said, unless I missed it, which is possible, not a lot of warnings about security and the environment it's running in.

If that same $9000 miner can get you $12500 TODAY you sell it and use those funds to build more. Perhaps you keep that one and sell the next.
That's a good point, especially if rumors that Bitmain creates miners, uses them for a while and then sells them as new is true. If that's true, then that's a perfect profit. But still I don't understand, a decade has passed and we don't have other massive ASIC miner manufacturers on market. Because mining is a very small market. Intel tried and then got out because the profits were just not there. Lack of profits was not the ONLY reason, they were doing other corporate changes but if it was making money or they thought in the short term it might, then that division might have been kept around. And, although there is no conformation of this, the rumor mill was that they could not even find a buyer for that part of intel. They were making chips and miners and it was a functioning part of intel, and anyone with money could have come in and picked it up but no other company was interested. As I said, just a rumor. -Dave |

Not sure what prompted me to check but I am getting a 521 website down error when going to https://titanbtc.com/ now. Is everyone else getting the same message? And does anyone know when it actually went down. Not really important but just interesting that he was pointing it someplace else and even that is now offline, -Dave |

Mining gets them more money over time (in theory) selling gets them cash now.
If a miner costs $9000 to make and will generate $15000 after electricity & other costs over it's useful life. That's great and you mine with it.
If that same $9000 miner can get you $12500 TODAY you sell it and use those funds to build more. Perhaps you keep that one and sell the next.
And so on. If you are manufacturing constrained you keep more since over time that will get you more money. If you are hosting constrained you sell more.
That's just business.

Are you talking about laptops here? I think the main system people usually use to run full nodes is their PCs not laptops, I don't even think it is efficient to use a laptop since you can run a PC for long periods even 24/7 but not a laptop.
A PC motherboard supports multiple storage disks (SSD, M.2, SATA).
Yes and no. A lot of people run 'headless laptops. You disconnect the display and remove the battery and just have the base of the unit plugged in. I have a few like that. Most recent laptops also have either 2 x M.2 or 1M.2 and 1 SATA The advantage is that there are a lot of laptops with broken screens out there that are just not worth repairing. Once again looking at the 6th gen era. But, for $100 + a drive they are cheap. I see them pop up on Craigslist / freecycle and such all the time. Obviously, YMMV in different parts of the world. -Dave |

After I read your thread, I immediately opened my Trezor wallet idle since 2019, and still worked.
Maybe if you worry, and rarely open (you just use that hardware wallet to save bitcoin for a long time), you have to prepare to open it once a year. no need to open the full wallet, just make sure is still turned on.
I connected Electrum+Trezor (idle since 2019) with an airgap device (didn't connect the internet), to make sure my trezor still worked.
That's great for today, but what about next year and the year after that. I said it above and I'll say it again. MAKE SURE YOUR SEED IS SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE. Not accessible as in you can get to it at this minute, but in case your HW wallet dies you can get to it. All hardware will eventually have an issue. Panic after it happens is not good. A shrug and let me get a new device and put my seed in it is good. -Dave |

Just as a comment to anyone who searches and finds this post. When you move a wallet.dat file from one machine or core install to another by default it is going to want to scan the entire block chain to find all the transactions that may be associated with this wallet.
On older / slower machines it will take some time.

Keep us posted here, and if it does work please put it someplace where others can get to it without jumping thought all the hoops.
If you can't risk the other PC, I have a few I drives I can spin up and then wipe later. It's good to be in IT :-)
Serious note, I know you just want it for a solo lottery miner, but because of the noise and power needs and the fact that it's as old as it is so who knows what part may die next I just think that you are probably better off getting something newer / faster / quieter / less power hungry.

Not a big deal. There have been crypto -> bill pay things for a while now. The only difference here is that instead of the bill payer just doing it they are partnering with the vendor directly.
I saw the announcement early this week and did not even think anyone would really care since you could already pay most (all?) car loans and leases though FCFPAY anyway.

Was thinking about it a bit and actually came up with one very small possible use for it. To prevent people from doing something stupid.
i.e. you have a PC at your house that others (spouse, kids, whoever) have access to. If the you have no use for USB ports but don't want to shut them down in BIOS but don't want the risk of someone plugging something in then these things would work.
But, over the last couple of weeks this is the ONLY thing I could come up with.
