How do i recover my bitcoins for an address?

[Btcspot]

 You say you have a wallet.dat also? Does it have any funds in that wallet? Is it password protected?  If you know it you should load it in bitcoin core.
I can help you if need be.

When i was using the Finder Outer app it was suggesting words that is possible, but i seem to stuck on what to do now after reading the advice's.

If you got a result in this app that WAS your correct mnemonic because the only option in there is to check each permutation against your given key and ONLY return a result when it finds the correct combination of words. There isn't anything left to do, just copy that result and put in a wallet like Electrum and recover your funds.

Do you know any where that do btc loans?

There is the Lending section on this forum but you should read the rules first, you can not ask for a loan without first providing a valid collateral.

Do you know any where that do btc loans? I need funds urgently to pay bills for my house i live at. Due to pandemic and this sh** that occurred, i am very much out of options.

The lending board as pooya87 suggested would also be the first place I would look.

Regarding platforms outside of the forum, I wouldn't be able to help you much with that. I have only heard about Coinlend. You would have to check their reputation and rates yourself. I have never looked into it personally. It looks like a mobile bot that works for Bitfinex, Poloniex, and a few other sites.

You can open the wallet without any need to syncing. Just download the latest version of bitcoin core if you don't have it.
If your wallet is not synced, since bitcoin core doesn't have the blockchain, you won't be able to see your balance.

If you have your wallet file and the passphrase (if it's encrypted), you can export the private key of your bitcoin address and import it into a SPV wallet like electrum.
In electrum, you don't need to download the blockchain.

From the app navigate to:
Help -> Debug window -> console
-snip-

That's (from?) an outdated tutorial. The 'debug window' menu under 'help' has been unavailable since October 2018: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14573
In the later versions, the (debug) node window can be launched in "Window->Console"  

[NotATether]

enter:  dumpprivkey <paste address you want the key for>

If the wallet is password protected you must run the walletpassphrase <password> <timeout-seconds> command to temporarily unlock the wallet for a given number of seconds.

But dumpprivkey will not work on watch-only wallets since there are no private keys in the first place.

You just need rename new wallet.dat and copy your wallet.dat to there.

I'm still a little confused about your setup...

I had use the ledger nano to sync with the core using the experimental feature before, but to download over that 356gb for the bitcoin core to sync again on my new laptop is a hassle.

So, you were using the "experimental feature" in Ledger Live that syncs all the data through your local Bitcoin Core? If so, then any wallet.dat you have from your Bitcoin Core is probably empty/useless.

That feature is essentially a "privacy" feature... it means Ledger Live sends/receives it's data from your local node, rather than querying Ledger servers. It does not interact with the wallet.dat in any way.


Or are you referring to using the HWI module to use the Ledger with Bitcoin Core?
