This means the transaction is verified using a Merkle tree structure without broadcasting it to the public blockchain.

Still, using a dedicated smartphone as a Bitcoin wallet does not make it as secure as a hardware wallet (which is designed to be entirely offline and immune to online threats).

I have 2 Internet providers,
one works OK the other one says "Your IP network is currently pending review"
everything is the same nothing is changes in the local network when it is swamped with the 2 Internet providers.
It's possible that the IP address range assigned by Internet provider B is flagged by bitnodes. io or other services due to previous activity or network behavior. This could result in your network being subject to additional scrutiny or review. If so, you need to contact Internet provider B's customer support. |

Is the wallet file you are attempting to open compatible with the version of Bitcoin Core you are using? Is there sufficient disk space available where the Bitcoin Core data directory and wallet files are stored?

nc50lc has already provided a great answer to your question. I just wanted to add that the official Bitcoin Core documentation offers comprehensive insights into commands, usage, and wallet management. You can access it here: https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/ |

This is a matter of forensics, but this has also to do with the software. For instance, some software leave temporary files in certain "temp folders", or have a "recently opened" files on a dropdown menu, etc.
Do you mean that some desktop environments or file managers maintain a list of recently accessed files? I usually ensure proper data wiping using tools to securely delete files and overwrite the data multiple times to prevent forensic recovery. And maybe you can consider running it in a more controlled or isolated environment, like a virtual machine or container, to contain its activity. During the learning process, corrections and guidance are always welcome. |

There is private chain with nodes which are reachable only by the founders at the moment.
But I’m looking for ways to start mining now cuz the mining cost is very low now.
Is there a way to start mining in this case?
You need to communicate with the founders or administrators of the private blockchain network and work within the rules and permissions they have set. Or, if you can become a node operator within the private blockchain network, you may have the ability to participate in the consensus process and mine blocks. |

Thank you all for your valuable insights and assistance. I plan to take the next few days to explore refurbished laptops online, based on the advice you've provided. Once again, a big thank you to each one of you for your help!

Side question, how long do these refurbished devices last? It obviously cannot last as long as a brand-new device, which means it will fall apart sooner, is that not the case?
That's the reason to seek out trustworthy refurbishers and assess the device's initial build quality. Reputable refurbishers go the extra mile by either replacing or refurbishing essential components, ensuring the device functions well and enjoys an extended lifespan. Then another important question arises: how can one identify a reliable refurbisher?  |

I can't make assumptions where OP lives. In my country there are quite some dealers who trade with refurbished business laptops or leasing returns.
You're absolutely right, this kind of business with refurbished business laptops is quite common worldwide. While affordability and durability are key advantages, ensuring the security of these devices remains a crucial consideration for me. |

Parmanode is designed for non-technical users giving them the ability to download and verify Bitcoin related software, and sync using an external or internal drive, and also have configuration options presented to them with automation. No manual configuration file editing will be required - Parmanode takes care of all that in the background. Non-technical-user-friendly, sounds interesting. This approach simplifies the process of setting up and maintaining a Bitcoin node on a Mac, making it more accessible to a wider audience. |

Are there some recommended approaches for running Bitcoin Core on a laptop with constrained storage capacity? Is it possible to use an external hard drive as the data directory (datadir)? How does this setup work, and would I need to pay attention to?
Thank you in advance to everyone who responds to this question.
