I’ve an previous pockets from 10+ years in the past. It was created utilizing an previous model of Bitcoin Core earlier than deterministic wallets had been a factor. I’ve it now on an offline laptop that has Bitcoin Core 21.0.0 on it. I put in Core 21 and synced the pc earlier than loading the pockets a few years in the past and have not synced it since, but in addition have not completed any transactions with the UTXOs in that pockets since then both. After I loaded the pockets after syncing the pc, the steadiness for the whole pockets was what I used to be anticipating.
I’ve arrange one other laptop with Bitcoin Core 24.0.1 on it. My plan is to arrange a watch solely pockets on this laptop, carry within the public addresses from the previous pockets and create PSBTs (utilizing coin management) on the watch solely pockets, which I’ll then switch for signing on the offline laptop. After which carry again the signed PSBTs to broadcast from the net laptop.
My issues are :
- Will there be any points with bringing over what I would like for the watch solely pockets on the Core 24.0.1 laptop from the previous non-deterministic pockets which was created with a really previous model of Bitcoin Core (although it is now working beneath 21.0.0) ? And what precisely do I must carry over ?
- Do I have to be cautious with change addresses ?
- Is there anything I would like to fret about, and/or ought to I be going about this a special manner ?
Thanks prematurely.
