Alert from Bitcoin Core developers: a critical wallet migration bug has been identified in versions 30.0 and 30.1. Users who are migrating from legacy Bitcoin Core wallets—particularly those that have never been renamed or upgraded since their initial creation—face the risk of permanent fund loss during the migration process. This affects a specific subset of long-time Bitcoin holders working with outdated wallet versions. Developers strongly recommend affected users review the migration process carefully before proceeding, or seek updated guidance on safe migration procedures to protect their assets.

Old coin news is back again, this time about wallet migration pitfalls. Versions 30.0 and 30.1 directly cause issues. Long-term holders, be careful!

Oh no, this bug is pretty serious. Old wallet users need to be careful. --- Versions 30.0 and 30.1 crashed? Oh my, antique wallet users should be panicking. --- Permanent coin loss? That's way too chill... Don't rush to upgrade. --- Old guys with legacy wallets are directly screwed; we need to wait for a patch. --- I just want to ask, who is still using such an old version? Haha. --- Damn, the timing is crazy. I was just thinking about upgrading the day before yesterday. --- Wait, does this mean everyone who never changed their wallet name before is affected? That's a bit outrageous. --- These announcements are annoying to read, but they really need to be taken seriously. --- So the current solution is... to wait? Or is there another way?
