I believe this is what you want to do: bitcoin-cli -testnet dumpprivkey moQR7i8XM4rSGoNwEsw3h4YEuduuP6mxw7 where moQR7i8XM4rSGoNwEsw3h4YEuduuP6mxw7 is the testnet address you sent coins to it will give you the private key, in WIF format, something like this: cU8Q2jGeX3GNKNa5etiC8mgEgFSeVUTRQfWE2ZCzszyqYNK4Mepy then I think you need to convert this from testnet WIF to private key. follow the WIF to private key section in the following link: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wallet_import_format then you would convert that private key to mainnet WIF, following the instructions in that section of the previous link. finally, you would import the private key in WIF bitcoin-cli importprivkey PRIVATE_KEY "test label" true Be wary of using websites to do the conversions for you, they could take your private key. I think you can do the conversions using python-bitcoinlib: https://github.com/petertodd/python-bitcoinlib

Next thing to have is a hard wallet if you haven’t already like a Ledger or a Trezor and let it sit there. That’s the safest thing to do! Also, there’s always been a risk of KYC (Know Your Customer) on CEXes as mentioned several times. This was all meant to be decentralized and keep our identity under wraps and retain that anonymity that crypto was originally designed for… and you get a hold of your keys.

where "x.y.z" is the VERSION of trezor (aka TrezorCTL) you are trying to install. See the version history when picking a version. "Oldest" is not necessarily "best". You'll want to pick a version that was released around the same time your Trezor-1 was last updated.

I've purchased a Trezor model T from what I believe is the official Trezor website (https://trezor.io/). Is it rational for me to have a slight fear that it isn't a legit trezor and maybe the chip is compromised, possibly being able to send off my seed to an unknown party?
