thanks, bitcoin.org

According to bitcoin.org, these are the instructions when encountering an error running Core for the first time:

Besides, the ARM version must have worked for me before because that's what I downloaded from the bitcoin.org download page when I installed 22.0

Research Online: Start by exploring reputable online resources dedicated to cryptocurrency. Websites, blogs, and forums such as CoinMarketCap, CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, and Open source P2P money provide comprehensive information, news, and educational content about cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and related topics.

The level of security you employ should correlate with the amount of BTC you have. Would you leave your US dollars on Cashapp? If so you are probably fine leaving a little BTC on there. But long term your best option is cold storage, either buy a device (like Ledger NanoX) for $50-$100, or go to bitcoin.org and download the Bitcoin Core GUI, where you can create your own cold storage wallet. You can generate your own seed phrase with no third parties or extra costs.

Hello, I downloaded bitcoin core 25 from bitcoincore.org, but the only instructions I could find relating to the installation of the bitcoin daemon was on bitcoin.org (which seems to only offer up to bitcoin 22).

But if you check the link they posted, that's bitcoincore.org, not bitcoin.org That link is also the site that Bitcoin core on the releases page will link to as well.

So I got a 200 dollar prepaid gift card at the supermarket to put into bitcoin to buy something and it seems impossible for any processor to accept it, bitcoin.org doesn't work and i've tried a bunch of other sites and nothing works. So how do you get bitcoin out of a prepaid gift card (mastercard)? I put 5 dollars into steam just to make sure the card isnt broken or something and it worked fine

What gives? What is offered at bitcoin.org is a download of Bitcoin Core 22.0...

This would be quickly crackable using something like btcrecover. (https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover)

For some ideas see this script: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/

Try to use this software on GitHub https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover - 922 stars, it's good - there is also a tutorial on how to recover a lost password from a wallet.dat file. 6 characters should be fast to find with a good GPU.

Perhaps not possible or at least a few years on a modern pc. Checkout btcrecover https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover do some test runs with a known seed missing 2 words, then 3 words before your 4.

The hacker can use the 24 words to recover the wallet. If there's nothing in it, he might give up, or he might guess that there's a passphrase. Then he hires a private investigator to discover your private details - schools, pets, uncles, birthdays, anniversary dates ... - and he configures https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover with these details. If you're like most people, your idea of a secure passphrase can be guessed using 30 minutes to 10 days of brute force

This code can compute multiple combinations: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover - Last time I used it I found it hard to setup and I guess today it'll be even harder.

use a brute forcer approach like btcrecover. note that the learning curve is pretty up there though. every little characteristic you can remember about your passphrase can help speed up the process (number of characters, lower case or upper case, digits, positions of these characters, list of characters to use, etc.)
