Check what changed in a backup copy
Use a synthetic SHA-256 experiment to distinguish byte integrity from wallet validity.
Explore the method →Lab 02 · Search planningCount candidates before starting a search
A 24-candidate Python experiment shows how independent choices multiply and why counts are not recovery probabilities.
Explore the method →Lab 03 · EncodingSee why identical-looking text can differ
Compare composed and decomposed Unicode strings using invented text and inspect their UTF-8 bytes.
Explore the method →Field note · Bitcoin CoreStart a Bitcoin Core regtest notebook
A documentation-based first check for an isolated Bitcoin Core regtest environment, with explicit version and testing limits.
